Wu Weiye returned to the capital, and soon became the object of everyone's attention, it is said that his measures to uphold justice and seek truth from facts to reflect the situation should be praised, at least to be able to maintain calm, but it is a pity that the Donglin Party will not allow the existence of this situation, many rumors about Wu Weiye have spread inside and outside the court, and even when he Chongzhen participated in the palace examination for four years, the matter of carrying the Qinglou woman has been turned out and has become the news that people are talking about, of course, there are more rumors about Wu Weiye's deception and destruction of ancestors, and great rebellion, In short, these rumors are all related to how unbearable Wu Weiye's character is, you must know that the most important thing for an official is character, once the character is denied, it means that you will never have a bright future.

Wu Weiye is very calm, he is not disturbed by these rumors, and he still goes to court on time every day, but he has no friends around him, and he is basically alone.

Zhang Pu, Zhang Cai, Wu Changshi, Gong Dingyu and others don't seem to give up, they didn't publicly impeach Wu Weiye, after all, this is too much, and Wu Weiye was one of them before, if they attack unscrupulously, it also seems that they are too narrow-minded, which may also make the Donglin Party people spurned, but the way they thought of dealing with Wu Weiye was worse than impeachment.

On the one hand, they promote the expansion of rumors, after all, they know Wu Weiye very well, and know the bits and pieces of Wu Weiye's life, on the other hand, they intentionally or unintentionally threaten Wu Weiye, making Wu Weiye feel uneasy all the time, Wu Weiye has a peaceful personality, a little cowardly, and there is nothing to say about his academic achievements, but politically he is naïve, such people are similar to nerds hundreds of years later, and his timidity and cowardice in character are also difficult to change.

Wu Weiye is an official in the court, and no matter what, he needs to contact people, but because he is afraid of the attitude of Zhang Pu and others, basically no officials have contact with Wu Weiye, and everyone regards him as an alternative at all, which must make Wu Weiye painful. In addition, the strength of the Donglin Party in the DPRK is very strong, and they will definitely not be polite to people like Wu Weiye who are betrayed, which also makes Wu Weiye even more uneasy.

Finally after enduring more than a month. Wu Weiye submitted his resignation, begging to resign from his official post and return to his hometown, but the reason for his resignation was that he was unwell and could not take charge of political affairs.

Regarding whether to accept the resignation of Wu Weiye. There was a great controversy in the cabinet, and Qian Shisheng, Hou Sui and others completely agreed, but Zhang Fengyi and others disagreed.

The attitude of Zhang Zhifa, the first assistant of the cabinet, was still unclear, and he watched several cabinet ministers quarrel in a mess.

Of course, Zhang Zhifa understands the mystery, the Donglin Party wants to let Wu Weiye resign, and bear the infamy of bullying the teacher and destroying the ancestors, which reflects the attitude of the Donglin Party towards the betrayal, and also makes others dare not mess around, Zhang Fengyi and others are not satisfied with the Donglin Party, and do not want the Donglin Party to dominate the court. If he retreats from Wu Weiye's affairs, I am afraid that it will make Qian Shisheng and others even more arrogant in the future.

In such a situation, no matter how Zhang Zhifa expresses his position, he will offend people, he, the head of the cabinet, does not have great prestige, let alone absolute influence, if he really offends which side, it will be difficult for him to gain a foothold.

Wu Weiye's reason for resigning is very far-fetched, but he is only 30 years old. is in the prime of life, where there is any physical discomfort, it is nothing more than difficult to deal with the attacks and persecution of the Donglin Party, and take the initiative to avoid it.

Things always have to be worked out. If the cabinet can't make up its mind, the officials can't operate, and a seemingly simple matter has not been concluded for a long time, which is enough to make people laugh and reflect the meaning of meaning.

The news of Wu Weiye's resignation. The fastest time was transmitted to Huaibei.

Sun Chengzong has not yet left Huai'an, Zheng Xunrui quickly made a decision after learning the news, and asked Sun Chengzong to come to discuss, he has the intention to help Wu Weiye, but also through this matter, he will have a good influence on Sun Chengzong, so that this old man who has an unusual status and influence among the Donglin Party members can see how the Donglin Party people do things in the imperial court.

When Sun Chengzong came to the wing, he didn't know what was going on, and his expression was a little strange.

When Sun Chengzong entered the wing room, Zheng Xunrui, Xu Wanghua, Wen Kun and Li Panlong were discussing things in the wing room.

Seeing Sun Chengzong come in, Zheng Xunrui smiled.

"Invite Mr. Sun to come today, there is something to ask for advice below, but this matter involves the Donglin Party, if you rashly interfere in the next, I am afraid it will cause criticism from many people."

After more contact with Zheng Xunrui, Sun Chengzong's opinion has already changed, and when he heard Zheng Xunrui say this, Sun Chengzong was not polite and spoke directly.

"Lord Zheng, shouldn't there be something, I need the old man to speak, the old man has been in office for several years, and he doesn't care much about the affairs of the court, and besides, the old man is outside the court, so he has to abide by the rules."

Zheng Xunrui smiled, this time he smiled very comfortably.

"Mr. Sun said very well, the height of the temple is worried about the people, and the distance of the rivers and lakes is worried about the king, this Mr. Fan Zhongyan's words, I remember that Donglin Academy is often taught, Mr. Gu Xiancheng also made couplets, the sound of wind and rain, the sound of reading, family affairs, national affairs, and everything in the world cares, the purpose of Donglin Academy adheres to it, and the words of the old gentleman seem to be different."

Looking at Zheng Xunrui's smile, Sun Chengzong spoke up.

"Master Zheng is extraordinarily knowledgeable, how to say such words, these things taught by Donglin Academy are good, nothing more than to refute the understanding of not hearing things outside the window, and only reading the books of sages and sages, many readers, do not contact with reality, after the imperial examination high school, do not understand the people's suffering, not only can not do things well for the emperor and the court, but instead exploit the people, it really shouldn't be, as for the words that the old man said, it is also good, not in his position and not for his government, since he has done so, Then do your best to do more good things for the people in your hometown, and don't interfere in the affairs of the imperial court. ”

Sun Chengzong said this, and Zheng Xunrui also restrained his smile.

"Mr. Sun said very well, if the world's scholars can be like the old man, I'm afraid there will not be so many power games, whether the old man likes to listen or not, he has to say it below, many Donglin Party members in the DPRK and the central government, what they say is one thing, and what they do is another, the Donglin Academy in Nanzhili, every move makes the court shake, since it is a scholar, not in the court, why interfere in so many things in the court, and even combine with the scholars and businessmen in the south to influence the government and politics, such things, The old gentleman didn't know how to feel. ”

Sun Chengzong shook his head.

"Donglin Academy is also mixed with dragons and snakes, and the old man also knows a little, okay, don't talk about these things, I don't know what Lord Zheng summoned the old man for."

"I invite Mr. Sun to the next for the sake of Lord Wu Weiye, a member of the Ministry of Rites."

Zheng Xunrui said as he handed the sorted documents to Sun Chengzong.

Sun Chengzong quickly finished reading the paperwork, but in the process, Sun Chengzong's eyebrows jumped slightly.

"This Wu Weiye, the old man knows a little, it seems to be very literate, and he is not very familiar with other aspects, since Wu Weiye is going to resign and return to the country, then the officials will agree."

Sun Chengzong's answer, in Zheng Xunrui's expectation, as the most influential person among the Donglin Party, Sun Chengzong could not know the situation of the imperial court, and it was impossible not to know the Donglin Party's treatment of the so-called traitors.

It was based on this understanding that Zheng Xunrui decided to help Wu Weiye.

"What Mr. Sun said is that since Wu Weiye wants to resign and return to Li, no matter what the reason, the imperial court should not hesitate, but after thinking about it, I want Wu Weiye to come to Huaibei to be an official, I don't know what the old gentleman thinks."

Sun Chengzong's face changed slightly, this question is really difficult to answer, judging from the situation on the paper, Wu Weiye is undoubtedly excluded, so that he can no longer gain a foothold in the capital, so he thinks of escaping, and it is the Donglin Party in the court who squeezes out Wu Weiye, at this time Zheng Xunrui wants to take Wu Weiye to Huaibei, doesn't it make the contradiction more acute.

"The old man is not easy to say, but the old man wants to remind Lord Zheng that the reason behind Wu Weiye's resignation, Lord Zheng is clear, Wu Weiye is young, and he asked to resign for reasons of physical discomfort, that is, when he has no choice, Lord Zheng suddenly helped at this time, isn't he afraid of causing more trouble."

"The old gentleman still doesn't know much about it, but he's not afraid of trouble."

Sun Chengzong stared at Zheng Xunrui for a long time.

"Since Lord Zheng has made up his mind, the old man is not easy to say, the old man is a lot older, and he knows some things, although he has not been in contact with Lord Zheng for a long time, but the old man is not willing to be an opponent with Lord Zheng anyway, I really don't know what some people think."

When Sun Chengzong said this, Xu Wanghua, Wen Kun, Li Panlong and others all showed surprised expressions on their faces, they all respected Sun Chengzong, and it was only a few days before Sun Chengzong actually said such words.

Zheng Xunrui's face had no expression.

"Mr. Sun's words, I remember it below, and I am also reluctant to take Mr. Sun as an opponent, and I still have an expectation that no matter how the situation in Huaibei develops, I hope to be able to get Mr. Sun's support."

Sun Chengzong nodded and did not speak.

Soon, an urgent letter was sent from the Caoyun Governor's Mansion to the capital.

The emperor's decree and the edict of the Ministry of Officials were also issued soon, Shi Kefa served as the governor of Fengyang, Wu Zhenying, the former governor of Fengyang, served as the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, Wu Weiye served as the prefect of Huai'an Prefecture, and Ma Zhukui, the former prefect of Huai'an Prefecture, served as Li Cao to participate in politics.

The decree and the edict were issued, and there was more discussion in the court. (To be continued.) )
