Chapter Fifty-Nine: The Conspiracy Continues
Forbidden City, Qianqing Palace, Imperial Study.
The sun had already set, and the dark night covered the Apocalypse Emperor's bedroom, and the Apocalypse Emperor, who was about to rest, was called up, and when he came to the front of the imperial study, the Apocalypse Emperor's face was not very good-looking, and he was obviously very unhappy to be disturbed.
Looking at Luo Sigong and Wei Chao who were saluting him, the Emperor of the Apocalypse frowned slightly, it was rare for these two people to come over so neatly, it seemed that something really happened this time.
"Get up!" Waving his hand at the two of them, the Emperor of the Apocalypse continued, "What are you two doing here at such a late hour?" Is there anything you have to say today? ”
"Your Majesty, the news that the secret agents of the East Factory have just heard is very important, and the minions dare not delay and come to start playing immediately." Wei Chao didn't pay attention to Luo Sigong, who was huffing and huffing, and said with a smile, but looked at Luo Sigong with a very strong provocative look.
"Luo Aiqing, what about you?" The Emperor of the Apocalypse turned his gaze to Luo Sigong, and he naturally saw the Wei Dynasty's eyes, thinking that the news that the two of them heard this time should be the same, but he didn't know who was more comprehensive.
"Back to Your Majesty, the Jinyi Guards heard that the Donglin Party members were gathering at Yang Lian's mansion in the military capital tonight. The initiator was Sun Shenxing, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and the discussion was about the impeachment of Fang Congzhe, a scholar of the Shoufu University, and the election of a new cabinet scholar after the removal of Lord Fang. Luo Sigong saw that the Emperor of the Apocalypse asked himself, and hurriedly told the matter, and the depression that had just been preempted by the Wei Dynasty was also slightly alleviated, and he couldn't help but glance at the Wei Dynasty provocatively.
"Well, who's in attendance? What are the attitudes? After listening to the words of the two, the Emperor of the Apocalypse sneered in his heart, it seems that this time these people have made up their minds to move to Fang Congzhe.
As soon as Luo Sigong was about to speak, Wei Chao hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this is recorded by the spies of Dongchang, and everyone who participated in this gathering said something, and it is all here." As he spoke, Wei Chao handed a book to the Emperor of the Apocalypse.
Glancing at the two people who were fighting back and forth, the Emperor of the Apocalypse suddenly felt a little funny in his heart, glanced at the two of them, and said expressionlessly: "Okay, take out all your folds!" I have taken note of your merits. ”
"Your Majesty, in addition to the Donglin Party, all the adults of the Qi, Zhejiang and Chu Party have also gathered together tonight, and the meeting place is the residence of Fang Congzhe, the first minister." The two handed the fold to Chen Hong on the side, and at the same time, Wei Chao slowly said another news. Luo Sigong looked at the Emperor of the Apocalypse cautiously, and when he saw the Emperor of the Apocalypse waving his hand to let him go back, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and left as if they had been amnestied.
Looking at the backs of Wei Chao and Luo Sigong walking out, the face of the Emperor of the Apocalypse suddenly became gloomy and terrible, looking at the fold in his hand, the Emperor of the Apocalypse sneered and whispered: "Things are not as simple as you think, let's see." ”
Nothing was laid out. When the Emperor of the Apocalypse went back to sleep, there were three people still talking, and these three people were the three main figures of the Donglin Party. are all given to Yang Lian in the matter, Zhou Jiamo, the secretary of the ministry, and Zuo Guangdou, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and the place where the three of them discussed was Yang Lian's bedroom.
After Zhou Jiamo got up to leave, Zuo Guangdou chased him out and successfully grabbed him, and waited until everyone had left, Zuo Guangdou and the two came to Yang Lian's bedroom.
"Brother Zhou, what do you think of today's events?" Yang Lian gently put down the teacup in his hand, raised his head and stared at Zhou Jiamo with blazing eyes, his tone was full of expectation.
Zhou Jiamo's face at this time was ugly and constantly changing, pondered for a while, and said slowly: "If the king is not secret, he will lose his country, and if the minister is not secret, he will lose his body." With such a fanfare gathering, I am really afraid that others will not know that we are forming a party, do you two know what is connected with the party? ”
Before the two of them could speak, Zhou Jiamo continued: "It's a private business, do you remember why you joined the Donglin Party back then?" After speaking, Zhou Jiamo looked at the two of them with blazing eyes, and his eyes were unusually sharp.
Of course, when I was young and frivolous, I always held the ideal of serving the country and the people. I went on a study tour to Donglin Academy, and after staying there for a while, I felt that the literati there were the hope of the country. They read the books of the sages, understood righteousness, and were willing to sacrifice themselves, so they joined the Donglin Party. Yang Lian smiled lightly, but his smile was a little bitter, and he was very emotional when he spoke.
Looking at the two people who spoke, Zuo Guangdou hurriedly said: "I was deceived, I don't know what the Donglin Party is, I'm just like-minded with Yang Lian." He introduced some of his friends to me, and I don't know what kind of party strife there is! By the time I knew, it was too late. Zuo Guangdou glared at Yang Lian fiercely, obviously feeling very wronged and resentful in his heart for so many years.
"Yes! We were also young and frivolous, and we used to serve the country and the people, but after so many years, what are we doing? Fighting for power and profit, for the sake of one's own interests, we may be able to say that we are forced to do so, but is this really the case? For so many years, we have been in the Donglin Party, don't we know what this party looks like? Zhou Jiamo's tone is very declining, he has not been able to stretch his ambition for so many years, and he has no ambitions and cannot display them, which is a very happy thing for Zhou Jiamo.
"Hehe, I also found out later, this Donglin Party is not as simple as it seems, I was too young at the beginning. As my status gradually increased, I learned that Donglin Academy was funded by salt merchants and landlords in the southeast. And there are seven layers in the entire academy that are their disciples, or their supporters, and these people are the backbone of the Donglin Party. We people, alas! Yang Lian's sigh was very meaningful.
Glancing at the decadent two, Zhou Jiamo smiled strangely, and continued: "This time the matter is obvious, these people want to drive Fang Congzhe away from the Chu Party, and press their own people, and they think that they are the same people." He wanted to take advantage of the emperor's youth and ignorance of the situation in the court, so he quickly cut through the chaos and further increased his control over the court. But have these people ever thought about what happened to so many people who dominated the government and the opposition in history? They think they can be Cao Mengde? ”
"It's been more than 200 years since the Ming Dynasty, Wang Zhen and Liu Jin are so unsightly, but what happened in the end? Zhang Jiangling, the Taishi of the year, how strong he was, but in the end? What's more, these villains who are only for their own selfish interests? What kind of goods are the so-called Donglin Party? Zhou Jiamo's words were loud, and his expression was very excited, and the beard on his face was trembling uncontrollably.
Today's last chapter is here, today is the first day of the recommendation, and I can't see anything, but I'm still cheeky like everyone begging for votes!
