It has been ten days since the chaos in the palace, the corpses have long been disposed of, the blood stains have been cleaned, and the guards and eunuchs in the palace have also been replaced.

Of course, this is only the appearance, and the truly terrifying undercurrent has only just begun.

With an unprecedented purge, almost everyone in Beijing is at risk. Many low-level officials came to the Andong Mansion with gifts, saying that they were grateful to the prince for saving his life, but in fact, everyone wanted to probe the news and seek the protection of the prince.

But to everyone's horror, the Andong Palace's door was closed, and no one was seen. The endless stream of officials could only walk back and forth in front of the palace gate, reluctant to leave.

I'm afraid that when the prince is kind, they will miss the opportunity.

"Hehe, those who are waiting outside have no way, and those who really have a way have already entered, and they won't be embarrassed here! It's warm and cold, and the spring breeze is cold! ”

"My lord, you have a way, should we go in and have a look?"

The middle-aged man raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Don't bother Yongzhen for the time being, accompany me to walk around the capital." ”

While the two were talking, they left the tea stall opposite the palace and walked towards the front door.

……

"Alas, unprecedented, unprecedented!"

Hong Shiki held the list of rebels, kept shaking his head, grabbed the teacup, and wanted to moisten his throat, but found that the teacup was already empty.

"Teacher, you and mine, the disciple hasn't moved."

Hong Fu took Zhang Ke's teacup, poured a big sip, and said angrily: "Yongzhen, this time you have the merit of saving the driver, why don't you stand up and say a few words to persuade the emperor?" ”

"Yes, my lord. The old man won't hide it from you. Wei Guangwei sighed: "The old man has been doing three times in a row these days, and the saint doesn't even look at it, and in the end, even the old man is gone." ”

As soon as he heard this, the faces of the other people present changed, and even Shoufu couldn't see the emperor, it seems that the emperor is iron-hearted!

Wei Guangwei paused and said: "Wei Gelding is doing things to be a general of Donglin Point, and there are one hundred and eight people included, which is already appalling. In the past riot, more than 200 people were killed. It happened suddenly, and there was no way. But the saint suddenly turned 258 into a eunuch party, and he wanted to cut it off in one fell swoop, where is this to eradicate the eunuch party, it is clearly digging the foundation of the Ming Dynasty! ”

Hong Fuyi said angrily: "What Yuan Fu said is right, there are only three or four hundred people admitted to the triennial imperial examination, of which eighty percent are the top three Tongjinshi who are released. Three catastrophes before and after, the essence of thirty years above the court was destroyed, and the experienced followers of the Wanli Dynasty were almost swept away. Talent is broken, and the country is not a country! ”

Hearing this, not to mention the civil officials present, even He Shixian, Qiao Gui and others all looked at each other. Fear in my heart. Although they don't understand officialdom, they have led soldiers and know the value of veterans. The Yizhou soldiers can live endlessly, that is, by bringing the old with the new. Experience inheritance, little by little accumulation, can become stronger and stronger.

This is how to lead the army into battle. If you want to come to the experience of governing the country, you can't learn it in a day and a half, and a large number of old people died unexpectedly, and they didn't even do the handover of government affairs, so they were replaced by a bunch of hairy boys. Hong Fu is the forty-first year of Wanli Jinshi, more than ten years, into the ranks of high-ranking officials in the ministry, has been considered lucky, and now, there are even the Apocalypse years of the Jinshi jumped up, into the ranks of the big and small Jiuqing, the local governor is a generation of new people for the old, so what brings is not a refresh of the court, the government is a change of blood, but complete chaos! .

The situation that the Apocalypse Dynasty had painstakingly maintained would disappear in an instant, or even fall apart.

Listening to the words of Hong Fuyi and Wei Guangwei, Chen Minqing, who was sitting at the end, stood up suddenly.

"Lord Wang, the Son of Heaven has just taken charge of the world, and he is really the way to make trouble. For example, today, if you can advise the king, retain the essence of the court, and leave a breath of vitality for the people of the Great Ming Dynasty, there is only one prince, if you don't come forward, where will you be a hundred officials, and where will the people live! ”

Chen Minqing may have felt that his tone was inappropriate, so he hurriedly knelt on the ground and said sadly: "The minister is not blaming the prince, but just imploring the prince to focus on the overall situation and the common people!" ”

Zhang Ke frowned, was silent for a long time, and said with a smile: "You get up, everyone is the henchmen of this king, to say something from the heart, I will only add to the chaos when I come out at this time." ”

"How so?" Chen Minqing was shocked.

Zhang Ke sighed and said with a wry smile: "Everyone said that I was a hero who saved the driver, but until now, the Son of Heaven has not even issued a holy decree to reward him for promotion. This king still doesn't know, the emperor is blaming me for not being well prepared, and I actually gave Wei Zhongxian a chance to make trouble, and even the internal control people were infiltrated by the White Lotus Sect, and almost took the life of His Majesty the Emperor. I don't know what to do at this time, I think of myself as a meritorious hero, and I speak for the eunuch party, the emperor will only be suspicious of the king, do you know what the consequences will be when the time comes? ”

After hearing the words, Chen Minqing and the others had a cool breath in their bones, their mouths opened wide, and they couldn't speak for a long time.

Even Wei Guangwei and Hong Fuyi lowered their heads and silently pondered Zhang Ke's words. That's right, these days, they have figured out Chongzhen's temper, good power, not responsible, mean, famous, and suspicious than anyone else. Dealing with such an emperor does require 10,000 times more caution.

Wei Guang was slightly delayed for a long time, and suddenly looked up to the sky and sighed.

"Lord, so far, the Son of Heaven is suspicious, the court is bloody, the old man is really beyond his strength, I will resign tomorrow and go home."

Wei Guangwei is leaving?

Everyone was stunned, although Wei Guangwei had been attached to Wei Zhongxian, his reputation was not good. However, during his cabinet period, he supported the Liaodong war, vigorously relieved the famine in the Central Plains, and did a lot of things, and was recognized as a cadre.

Now he has joined forces with Zhang Ke to eradicate the Wei Zhongxian group together, and he is a great contributor to assisting Chongzhen to ascend the throne.

"Lord Wang, quickly persuade Yuanfu, he can't go."

"Yes, without the protection of Yuanfu, I don't know how many people will suffer."

Everyone set their eyes on Zhang Ke, hoping that he could keep Wei Guangwei. How do you know that Zhang Ke was silent for a long time, but said: "If you can retreat bravely, you can still save the evening!" ”

Rumble!

A thunderbolt sounded, Wei Guangwei's body shook, he didn't expect Zhang Ke to let himself go!

You need to know how much authority a Shousuke has! Zhang Ke's prince is certainly good-looking, but without Wei Guangwei's help, he will only be hindered everywhere.

But Zhang Ke didn't retract the idea of saying this, Wei Guangwei barely stood up, and walked out of Anton's mansion with a swaying body.

What do you say about one product and three public positions, and what do you say about wearing a big red dress!

With infinite loneliness, Wei Guangwei ended gloomily......

Hong Shiyi looked at Wei Guangwei's back, suddenly frowned, looked at Zhang Ke, and asked tentatively: "Yongzhen, I am also exhausted and disheartened as a teacher, should I also write and resign?" ”

Zhang Ke lowered his head and raised it suddenly, with a big smile on his face: "Teacher, if you want to go, it's just right, whether it's Jiangnan, Shandong, or Liaodong, just if you speak, the disciple will definitely make every effort to arrange." To be honest, you always have more important things to do, don't stay in the quagmire of the capital. (To be continued......)
