Chapter 478: Donglin splits

Han Yisheng wiped his tears with tears in his eyes, and his expression that everyone had wronged me looked very painful. The big and small Donglin parties whispered and discussed what Han Yi said just now.

Liu Zongzhou is also a weighty person in this, but he is obviously not ready to embarrass Han Yi on this matter, in his opinion, Han Yi is his fellow traveler.

"It's not that the old man doesn't come forward to dissuade Your Majesty, doesn't come forward to protect you, and doesn't lead you to death; But I can't persuade, I can't persuade, I shouldn't persuade, I can't get caught, I force my head, after that, my Donglin family is completely ruined, Donglin's reputation is completely ruined, don't persuade, but better protect you......" Han Yi said with a sad cry, as if it was because of his grievances that he made a quick decision to save everyone.

When the Donglin Party listened, some nodded, some shook their heads, some smiled bitterly, some were desperate, and some were silent......

"Let's go, let's go, it seems that it is in vain to expect the elder to take the lead in admonishing His Majesty today, since the elder is unwilling to come forward, then I have to go to the ...... with Lord Qiao, and I will leave, the elder of the pavilion ......" An official looked anxious, his face turned pale, he stood up staggeringly, and staggered out.

The words of this desperate official obviously moved many people here, many of them were also pale-skinned, and Lang Lang staggered out, since Han Yi did not make the head, there are naturally people who are the head, and now there is no other way to go except for the death advice, and if you don't die to admonish, you can't get out of it in the future, and the relationship with the salt merchant is too deep to get rid of.

"Farewell......" another Donglin Party shouted angrily, and then walked out without looking back, this official may be more authoritative in normal times, he left, immediately led many hesitant people, all of a sudden, many people followed out.

In the living room, it was obviously divided into several groups, some anxiously watched more and more officials go out and followed, some continued to sit upright, expressionless, and some were angry officials who looked out, as if they were ready to defend Han Yi.

The tall and thin man looked at the one who walked out, then at Han Yi, thought about his problem, hesitated, and went out.

Han Yi didn't smile bitterly, just sat on the chair, looking at the officials who kept going out with regret, but he didn't keep it, everything that should be said was said, and it was useless to say more.

Intermittently, more than fifty percent of people walked out, nearly thirty percent of people were hesitating, and they couldn't make up their minds to go out with them, and the remaining twenty percent were silent.

The chubby official was always undecided, whether to go out with everyone or continue to stay here, watching more and more people go out, and fewer and fewer people are ready to leave. The fierce conflict in his heart may be that he feels that he is not a high official, and even if he is a little involved with the salt merchant, it may not be much, and this trip to troubled water is not worth the trip.

"Pavilion Elder, Xiaguan,...... The lower official resigned,...... Farewell, this ,...... Come if you go, come when you go, come when you go......" This fat official saw that no one went out anymore, and he still couldn't make up his mind about going over there, this step was wrong, and his life would be over, he really didn't know how to choose, he wanted to go with the army, but he was afraid that there would be no way out, he wanted to go, and he wanted to leave a way back with himself, and he said goodbye to Han Yi very respectfully, ready to leave a face, and was just about to go out, but he saw Han Yi with a confident look, and he had made up his mind with great difficulty, and swayed again, After saying goodbye a few times, I don't know why, I suddenly said the words "go and go".

The chubby official suddenly remembered that his approach might not be pleasing to both sides, his face tightened, he went out of the living room in a panic, chased those people, and looked back a few times in a panic, and the people left in the living room looked at this person's unbearable appearance, and they all sneered, how could this kind of person be mixed in in Donglin?

In the living room, it was quiet.

Han Yi continued to sit there steadily, and after a long time, seeing that no one finally walked out again, he said: "You are all unwilling to go, you are all willing to cut off from the salt merchant in time, if you can trust the old man, then do what the old man said, the old man does not dare to say that he can save it all, but he can also guarantee that he will protect you as much as possible, Your Majesty is a benevolent and humane master, and I think I will not be too embarrassed for you." Han Yi looked at the remaining four chéng people, and said slowly, give a guarantee to those here, the Donglin Party is split tonight, but it is also good to be able to keep some of the vitality of the Donglin Party, as the first assistant Shi Feng said, the emperor will not let the imperial party dominate, or there needs to be the Donglin Party and the imperial party to contain each other, and the imperial power can be firmly grasped, so even if the Donglin Party and the salt merchant are involved, but the emperor will not be wiped out, and the Donglin Party can continue to have a place. This is also the reason why Han Yi dared to say this, he believed that with the wisdom of the emperor, he would definitely not cut off one leg and let one leg walk. ,

"Please also ask the elder to take care of ......" The rest of the Donglin Party said one after another, since they had made a choice, they were relaxed.

The people in the living room gradually said goodbye, at this gathering of the Donglin Party split, Liu Zongzhou, as a very weighty person, never said a word, no one left, before leaving, he bowed to Han Yi and said: "The old pavilion is high-spirited, wronged and satisfied, and has preserved the people of Donglin, Qidong admires, Qidong fully understands the elder of the pavilion, I wait for Donglin, and must not be the thief of the ministers. ”

Han Yi just nodded and said, "Qidong is good." ”

……

Taimiao.

Yang Reform is writing a letter, although it seems that everything has been done, in fact, things still need to continue, many things are not finished, in addition to writing a letter to Xu Guangqi to explain the situation in the court today, is to tell Xu Guangqi to do a good job of taking over the aftermath of the salt merchants, including urging the remaining salt merchants to pay this year's salt class, steal the money from the house, be sure to take care of it, immigrants can count on these silver, the silver, if it is not convenient to keep, all the money will be deposited in the bank, if the silver is not counted and there is a lack of manpower, You can borrow it from eunuchs such as banks and shipyards, and you will greet them, in addition, the ticket salt law is about to be born, please be prepared to implement the ticket salt law, there are some hidden villages buried in advance in Jinyiwei, and when the time comes, Jinyiwei will cooperate.

In addition to writing a letter to Xu Guangqi, he also wrote a letter to Fang Hongzan, telling him that he is responsible for investigating the case and raiding the house and arresting the people involved in the case, but he must take care of his hands and feet, don't be greedy for ink, and there will naturally be rewards afterwards, the silver will be managed by Master Xu, and the trial may also belong to Master Xu, so he must assist Master Xu a lot.

Then there were a few vassal kings who corresponded frequently, telling them what was going on in the court, and what kind of example they wanted them to be.

Yang Gengai finished writing letters to these people, and stretched his waist for a long time, today's matter is finally almost busy.

"Your Majesty, there is news." Wang Chengen came in with a smile and said.

"Oh, hehe, Ome, what's the good news?" Yang Gengai was almost busy with everything, and said with a relaxed smile.

"Your Majesty, Elder Han Ge has news...... Wang Chengen smiled and presented the letter with the ink not dry.

"Hehehehe......" Yang Reform burst into a hearty smile, as expected, those people went to Han Yi's house, and they couldn't do anything! This Han Yi is also an old fox, he can't do anything, and he dares to cut off with the salt merchant, speaking of which, this guy still has some responsibility.

Yang Reform took the letter, looked through it, the ink of the letter had not yet dried, it can be seen that the person who wrote it had just written it, and sent it over. However, he also frowned and said, "What about the rest of the officials?" How's it going now? ”

Yang Reform read Han Yi's secret letter to himself, frowned again and asked, Han Yi said in the letter about the process of discussing things, but more than fifty percent of the people left him, that is to say, Han Yi, the old man, but gathered to forty percent of the Donglin Party, there are still a lot of Donglin Party may be ready to make trouble, Yang Reform has to be on guard, these people are going there now, what are they going to do, Yang Reform doesn't know, so he asked.

"Your Majesty, the slave has already sent someone to investigate." Wang Chengen hurriedly said.

"Well, that's good, who else has read this letter?" Yang asked Gengai.

"Back to Your Majesty, this matter is confidential, only the slave and maid have checked it, and no one else has seen it." Wang Chengen hurriedly replied.

"Well, okay, don't leak this matter, just don't let it go." After Yang Reform finished speaking, he put the letter on the candle and lit it, this kind of bullshit, secretly communicating the news of the letter, it is better not to stay in this world, in the future, if you accidentally leak this letter, it will be a disaster for Han Yi, and now Han Yi is also half of his own person, and it must be relatively easy to use in the future, there must be small stumbling blocks, but in terms of big policies and policies, Han Yi must not dare to embarrass himself, if he is squeezed out because of this matter, he will not be able to draw it, and it will not be good for him to implement the new policy.

"The slave has written it down." Wang Chengen hurriedly replied vigilantly.

With some doubts, Yang Reform continued to write letters, just wrote a letter to the vassal king, and next, he had to write letters to some henchmen and eunuchs in Jiangnan, so that they could help more, especially the matter of silver, and they must be imprisoned. ,

……

The carriage that came out of Han Yi's mansion drove straight to Qiao Yunsheng's mansion, the secretary of the criminal department.

Qiao's Mansion is also brightly lit, just like a copy of Han's Mansion just now.

Most of the people who came with Qiao Yunsheng were scorched, their faces were pale, and many of them were even more panicked, which was very different from the situation of the Donglin people who were able to win everything before.

Qiao Yunsheng saw that the person who came with him was almost there, so he said: "Everyone, Han Yi's old man shrank his head, bent his knees and begged for mercy, and was willing to be a lackey, and after that, there will be no such ......person in Donglin" Qiao Yunsheng immediately announced that he would deprive Han Yi of the status of the Donglin Party boss.

"It's all up to Qiao Shangshu's orders, even if we are dead, we must let Your Majesty take back your life." Immediately, an official chimed in.

"Yes, let's listen to Qiao Shangshu, Master Qiao, take us to death, we don't believe it, so many people are dead, if you don't take back your life." Someone immediately followed up, and now in addition to the dead advice, it is still a dead advice.

"Yes, Lord Qiao, we have to fight to the death, and we also have to launch a clear discussion, mobilize more people in Shilin to play a song, invite more Austrian aid, and we must make concessions to Your Majesty! Otherwise, it's really all over. A panicked official said in a panicked voice, although he said so, but this panicked voice betrayed him, and today's court meeting can be regarded as a gathering of hundreds of officials, what is the result? The Donglin Party was defeated, and then gathered a group of people to bī the emperor, which is almost impossible, except for the hundred officials of today's dynasty, the remaining officials are even more unavoidable, how to bī emperor?

The tall and thin officials and fat officials were also in this group of people, and the situation was similar to that of this group of people, panicked, and when they saw someone clamoring, they also followed the noise, and as for how useful it was, they didn't know, and they didn't dare to think about it.

"Good! Since you are all willing to listen to Qiao, then Qiao will say something, now, there is only one way to die, and there is no other way. Qiao Yunsheng said loudly.

"I, Zhao, am willing to follow Brother Wang to the ...... death, today I want to make my will clear with death, and let Your Majesty understand the backbone of my Donglin people......" Someone immediately echoed loudly.

This shouting actually baked up the atmosphere present.

“…… Would like to go ......"

“…… Will you go, count me in as a ......" more desperate officials are ready to make a last-ditch effort.

In the midst of everyone's wishes, Qiao Yunsheng seemed to have found hope and confidence, and said, "...... Okay, if you are willing to follow Qiao's death, at the beginning of tomorrow, you will kneel down to the temple together, Your Majesty will not agree to wait for me, I will kneel and die there, see what the world says, let everyone in the world understand, Your Majesty is wrong......" Qiao Yunsheng shouted with all his might.

“…… Death ......"

“…… Dead kneeling ......"

Probably out of fear of the future, fear of the future, more people in this piece of death, death kneeling, also gradually forgot about fear and fear for a while, it seems that as long as you kneel, the matter will be solved, and they will start to chant along.

The atmosphere, in a short period of time, was set off to a high cháo.

The tall and thin and fat officials were among them, and they also chanted along with the crowd, as if this chanting could drive away the fear in their hearts. However, the two of them were more uneasy and confused.

"Okay, there are all colleagues working together, with the will of death, this matter, there is still room for maneuver, you invite friends of the same year, and jointly play the aid of Austria, this matter, there is a greater certainty, I want to die to let His Majesty understand, the salt merchant must not be checked, this is to shake the country's foundation,...... I'm tired today, so let's go back for the time being, wash up well, take a break, and nourish the jīng god, and wait for tomorrow to fight the ......male and female," Qiao Yunsheng shouted again.

The crowd who had been boosted by the atmosphere just now agreed aloud, as if they had found a way to victory.

……

The fat official also followed everyone out of Qiao's mansion, but he was always heartbroken, and he did have some relationship with the salt merchants, but he couldn't say how deep it was, and he was an official who didn't let the salt merchants look down on him, as for following the Donglin Party, he was used to it, who called him a member of the Donglin Party?

This fat official's surname was Liu, and as soon as he returned home and entered the big mén, he saw his wife waiting anxiously in the big mén.

"Master, are you finally back? No curfew outside? This Mrs. Liu is taller, and it seems that she is an assertive person, and when she saw her master coming back, she immediately asked anxiously.

“…… Nope! At this time, the fat official was still in a daze, and when he heard his wife ask himself, he replied inexplicably.

"Your Majesty is a salt merchant this time, and the master is standing there?" Mrs. Liu didn't wait for her lord to ask, so she asked her lord directly. ,

"Madam, what are you ......" When the chubby official heard his wife ask himself like this, he suddenly wanted to find the backbone of the heart, and suddenly he wanted to bless his soul, and the whole person was nervous, and immediately asked, "This lady, but he has always been an assertive person, and he doesn't ask her?"

"Master, this whole capital is rumored that His Majesty wants to run a salt merchant, many officials and Your Majesty are working against each other, and there is a big storm in the court, and Your Majesty has even gone to the Taimiao, you should tell me quickly, you are standing there?" Mrs. Liu asked anxiously, maybe this Mrs. Liu has always been relatively strong, so she didn't give much face to her master.

"......" this chubby official can only respond with a wry smile.

“…… So, sir, aren't you on Your Majesty's side? This Mrs. Liu knew the answer when she saw her master's expression, and immediately changed her face.

"......" The chubby official could only nod, how did he get over today, he is still like a dream.

Mrs. Liu's face changed, and she said sharply: "Then trouble the old man to write a letter of resignation, let me go back to my parents' house, and also give Zhi'er to the old man, lest your Liu family have no queen......"

Mrs. Liu's sudden turn of face shocked this chubby official, I don't know what happened today, why nothing went well.

"Madame, what are you? Why is this ......? The chubby official asked in horror.

"You dead ghost, you are dying, and you ask why,...... Why am I so miserable! Married to such a bastard! This Mrs. Liu immediately cried quietly, probably all the people who have been at home are relatively strong, so they didn't give their master face at all, and when the people saw it, they hid, bowed their heads, and pretended not to see it, as if this situation was not once or twice.

"Madame...... So, why is that? ......" This chubby official didn't know what to say.

"You dead ghost, you don't know what happened? Let me ask you, did you go to Han Ge's house again today to discuss something...... "Mrs. Liu may be between her own lord has not been very transparent about the affairs of officialdom, and often serves as a staff officer for her master, so she is quite familiar with the affairs of officialdom, so she opened her mouth and asked.

"Uh, it's ......, I first went to Han Ge's hometown, but then I went to Qiao Shangshu's house...... "Fat official honest Jiāo generation."

“…… You dead ghost, marrying you, is really eight lifetimes of mold, I ask you, come back today, but there is a curfew? Mrs. Liu continued to ask angrily.

"There is no ......," the chubby official replied in a low voice, fearing the majesty of his wife.

“…… You idiot, let me ask you, is there a transfer of troops in the city? Can the new army enter the city? Mrs. Liu continued to ask, it seems that this Mrs. Liu is quite familiar with officialdom.

"Well, I haven't heard of any ...... transfer," the chubby official whispered again.

“…… You idiot, such a big thing, Your Majesty didn't even mobilize the generals, let alone the new army, not even a curfew, it's obvious that the victory is in hand, let you fools make trouble, you haven't been on Your Majesty's side, you pig's head, what are you not sending to death? Don't hurry up and write a letter of resignation with the old body, the old body wants to go back to his parents' house, so as not to kill your pig...... "Mrs. Liu is far more sober than her master, she has learned a lot of news from many sides, and after a little judgment, she came to an astonishing conclusion, if it is not an NV, perhaps, she is more suitable to be an official than her own master.

"Ahh …… Madame, this ......, this ......, what does this say? The chubby official was dumbfounded, it may not be the first time that he has been taught a lesson by his wife, and he didn't feel that it was inappropriate at all, but felt that it should, but seriously asked why.

“…… Woo woo woo ...... God! Why did I live such a miserable life, married such a fool, you who suffered a thousand knives, I still don't understand, our family has stepped into the ghost pass, and now the whole capital knows the good things you have done in the court, and now, the whole capital is scolding you? …… Your Majesty's reputation is now too good to be true, your Majesty abdicates, and the people of the world don't eat your ròu? If you look at what Your Majesty has done since he ascended the throne, what can you think of? Sweeping away Wei rebellion, running immigration, and winning the East Captives, isn't that an earth-shattering event? Isn't that one pretty? If Your Majesty is not sure, if you are not ready, can you casually say that you are a salt merchant? …… You pig, Your Majesty makes up for the lack of the border army, distributes cotton clothes, trains the new army, and sets high salaries, think about it, how can Your Majesty be able to abdicate a few of you? Your Majesty is now ready for everything, waiting for your group of pigs to jump inside......" Mrs. Liu broke through the real power comparison between the two sides with one word, many things are in the game, and they can't see the true face of Lushan, but outsiders can see it more clearly. ,

"Ahh ......" This chubby official scolded his wife severely, and did not blame his wife at all, but scolded his wife soberly, and his eyes were much clearer, no longer like before.

“…… Pig head, hurry up and write a letter of resignation for the old body, don't bother the old body, don't worry, I will raise Zhi'er well, and I will also give you a widow ......" After Mrs. Liu finished speaking, she immediately asked her lord for a letter of resignation.

"Madam, madam, don't be angry, don't be angry, quickly save your life, without Madame's face, I feel uncomfortable for my husband......" The chubby official immediately lowered his ears and begged for mercy.

"......" saw that his master begged for mercy, Mrs. Liu smiled as if she was victorious, and saw the people around her lower their heads and holding back a smile, looking around with raised eyebrows and eyebrows, and several people immediately held back their laughter, when nothing happened.

“…… Master, tell me first, what have you done today? When Mrs. Liu saw her master forgive, she immediately made suggestions for her master.

This chubby official didn't care that he whispered in front of his wife, but seriously explained the experience from the court to his home.

When Mrs. Liu heard this, her brows tightened, and she was silent for a long time, and the fat official looked expectant, waiting for her wife to give her an idea.

“…… Alas, your majesty today, it is really powerful! This means of doing things is too much higher than you, you are not opponents at all, and today's Your Majesty is going to be the first emperor of the ages! Sir! In the future, you will follow Your Majesty, no matter what Your Majesty says or does, you will follow Your Majesty, our Majesty has great ambitions......" Mrs. Liu said with emotion.

"Madam, I know ...... for my husband" The chubby official replied earnestly as if he had really found the backbone.

"The master may not know that our family also bought Liulizhai stocks,...... There are a lot of people in this capital who have bought stocks......" Mrs. Liu said seriously, the first half of the sentence was still serious, and the second half of the sentence was just muttering, and the others didn't hear it at all.

"Everything in the house is held by Mrs. Cào, you should buy it, you should buy it......" The chubby official immediately continued.

“…… I mean, at today's court meeting, those nobles must have received the benefits of His Majesty, so they stood on His Majesty's side, needless to say, His Majesty raised them with millions of taels of silver every year, and they had no reason not to stand on His Majesty's side, and then there was the Imperial Party, His Majesty was already invincible, and your Han Pavilion Lao, it seems, was also bought by His Majesty, then Qiao Shangshu told you to die tomorrow, I think this is a joke, tomorrow, you will sleep at home, and you are not allowed to go there, so you say that you overslept,...... No, no, no, this is not good, in this way, you go to Han Ge's hometown again overnight, tell Han Ge Lao Yu everything you heard in Qiao Shangshu's house, and ask Han Ge Lao to save your life, go to Duoduo Kowtow, there is no harm,...... "Although Mrs. Liu is not an official, through the boudoir, through the back house, through the market, through the analysis of all the news obtained from his master, she came to a conclusion, and quickly made a judgment.

"Madame, why is that? Even if you don't go to death, you shouldn't go to Han Ge Lao again, right? Isn't it a villain to repeat like this? The chubby official asked puzzled.

"Villain? Who is the villain? Now those Donglin Party who are ready to die are villains, look at it, tomorrow, the officials are afraid that they will drown, the people in the capital are afraid to scold them to death, and the people of the world are spitting on them, afraid of drowning them, you still don't want to show your mind, follow them to coax, don't you think my family is too good? Did you hear what I just told you? You have to follow Your Majesty, whatever Your Majesty says, you should do what Your Majesty says, you will do what Your Majesty says, listen to Your Majesty in everything, why, just what you promised is so quickly forgotten? Mrs. Liu said with a look of contempt, as if she didn't care about those in the Donglin Party who were ready to die.

"Okay, okay, don't scold, don't scold, don't scold, for the husband knows, has remembered, let's go, let's go." The chubby official immediately flattered his wife, and prepared to go out with a smile, and with the backbone of the heart, he was much more at ease.

"That's about ......, butler......," Madame Liu smiled proudly, and then shouted to the butler.

"The little one is here, what does Madame command?" The butler, who was standing aside and bowing his head and smiling, immediately came over.

"Tell the cook, immediately prepare a table of wine and food, the master has not eaten for a day, I think he is hungry, when the master comes back, he must make up for it......" Mrs. Liu smiled confidently and instructed her subordinates. ,

……

The chubby official went straight to Han Ge's hometown again, and when he entered Mén, he suddenly saw that what came out at this time was actually a thin and tall man, didn't this guy, like himself, go to Qiao Shangshu's house? Why are you seeing him here again? The chubby official thought he had made a mistake, and was wondering, when the tall and thin man smiled and saluted, and walked away.

……

Taimiao.

"Your Majesty, there is the latest news......" Wang Chengen smiled quite brightly, holding a letter.

"Oh? What's the matter? Everything was already complete, and Yang Reform, who was about to rest, asked.

"Your Majesty, Elder Han Ge has sent a letter again...... Wang Chengen handed over the letter briskly.

Yang Gai took the letter, and his heart was completely relaxed, just like a war, his opponent's every move was clear to him, and if he still lost, it was really a natural reason.

After Yang Gengai read it, he casually burned the letter. Said: "Sleep ......"
