Such a big thing happened in Huai'an, and the capital is generally calm, but the tide surging in the dark cannot be completely concealed, after all, everyone understands people, and they have different understandings of Zheng Xunrui's ruthless rectification of Caoyun.

Nanzhili has a pivotal position in the Ming Dynasty, first of all, here is the capital, when the Ming Dynasty was founded, the capital was in Nanjing, and later the Ming Dynasty Chengzu Zhu Di moved to Beijing, followed by the Nanzhili talents, every imperial examination, there are a large number of talents emerging, these people entered the imperial court as officials, and gradually formed many groups, and even left and right the court, the third is the wealth of the Nanzhili, it should be said that the richest place in the Ming Dynasty is the Nanzhili and Zhejiang and other places close to the Nanzhili, where businessmen gather, It is difficult to have a clear distinction between scholars and merchants, and many of the big businessmen are scholars.

It is precisely because of these reasons that Nan Zhili's status is not ordinary, and any disturbance here will attract the attention of the imperial court, not to mention Zheng Xunrui's efforts to rectify Caoyun.

The things that the people of the court understood and would not mention were the Donglin Academy and the Donglin Party in Nanzhili.

Nanzhili is the birthplace of Donglin Academy, the influence of Nanzhili is by no means ordinary, it can be said that the scholars of Nanzhili will be more or less influenced by the Donglin Party, in the era of the supremacy of Confucian theory in the Tiandi Jun, the scholars in Nanzhili, want to avoid Donglin Academy, the possibility is not very large.

The Donglin Party has suffered a lot of criticism, of course, it has also ushered in its own glorious era, when the Donglin Party members, one after another and Wei Zhongxian as the representative of the eunuch to fight, although suffered heavy losses. But it also laid a solid foundation for the rise later, after Emperor Chongzhen ascended the throne, he purged Wei Zhongxian and his henchmen, and the Donglin party was able to raise their eyebrows, and then control the power of the court. In the early years of Chongzhen, almost no one dared to compete with the power of the Donglin Party.

Although the successive cabinet chiefs and assistants are not members of the Donglin Party, they will not work against the Donglin Party, at least they will not play a game of life and death, which has gradually stabilized the power of the Donglin Party in the DPRK.

Today's Donglin Party members. It ushered in another glory, and in the cabinet, there were two Donglin Party members, Qian Shisheng and Hou Xun, which had never happened before. You must know that Wen Tiren, the first assistant of the cabinet, is originally a member of the Zhejiang Party, and he is very squeezed out of the Donglin Party.

However, many people's views on the Donglin Party are not particularly optimistic, and this qiē is because of the appearance of a person, this person is Zheng Xunrui, the current governor of the Hubu Shangshu Right Capital Yushi Caoyun.

The contradiction between Zheng Xunrui and the Donglin Party members, as everyone knows, can be described as the peak of incompatibility and eruption. It is Liu Zongzhou, Gan Xuekuo, Wang Duo and others who impeached Zheng Xunrui, you must know that Liu Zongzhou and Wang Duo are Zheng Xunrui's mentors, and the mentor impeached his disciples. It can't be done without a certain amount of Cheng dù, which also shows that the contradictions between Zheng Xunrui and the Donglin Party have reached the point where they cannot be reconciled.

It is said that when a disciple encounters the impeachment of his teacher, it is either from a moral point of view or from a realistic situation. Those who are impeached will soon be discredited, or even resigned from their official positions. It's a pity that such a situation did not appear in Zheng Xunrui. Even the vast majority of people in the DPRK and China believe that the Donglin Party has gone too far, and that the party is the same and has no tolerance at all.

Liu Zongzhou and others, who impeached Zheng Xunrui, also paid a certain price, Liu Zongzhou returned to Nanjing again, served as the secretary of the Nanjing Ministry of Rites, and Gan Xuekuo was the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, so he had a good chance to enter the cabinet, but unfortunately because of the impeachment matters, the matter of entering the cabinet was in vain, and Wang Duo still stayed in Nanjing and served as the right deputy imperial envoy.

On the contrary, look at Zheng Xunrui, at the age of twenty-two, he became the governor of the Yushi Caoyun of the right capital of the household department, which can be said to be walking on the Cotai Strip, everyone believes that as time goes by, the game between Zheng Xunrui and the Donglin Party will become more and more intense, and the final defeat may also be the Donglin Party.

Although no one has said anything about this qiē situation, many people have such an opinion.

Looking at Zheng Xunrui's big move in Huai'an, the meaning is intriguing.

A restaurant in Beijing.

Zhang Pu, Zhang Cai, Wu Weiye, Yang Yi, Wu Changshi, Gong Dingyu and others were raising their glasses and drinking.

It's a pity that the atmosphere of the banquet is not very good, and everyone is a little silent, as if they all have a lot of thoughts.

Zhang Pu and others are also famous in the capital, although their grades are not very high, but because their identity and status are not ordinary, they have also attracted everyone's attention, plus Zhang Pu and others directly control the Fu Society and Ying Society, and gather a large number of scholars around them, so the power they burst out is also not to be underestimated.

Zhang Pu and others have direct conflicts and grievances with Zheng Xunrui, but unfortunately over the years, none of the contests between them and Zheng Xunrui have been able to win, but because of several battles, Zheng Xunrui's atmosphere and wisdom have been highlighted.

Zheng Xunrui's actions in Huai'an have long attracted the attention of Zhang Pu and others, not only them, but also Qian Qianyi in Suzhou, as well as Qian Shisheng and Hou Xun of the cabinet, have also noticed, but unfortunately they can't find a breakthrough in impeachment, and they don't dare to stand up for impeachment casually, after all, Zheng Xunrui is rectifying the greed of officials, as well as the Cao gang who rely on Cao Yun to exploit the people, this is a fair and righteous matter, if someone stands up for impeachment, I am afraid that it will affect themselves, the light will be reprimanded, and the heavy will be punished, was attributed to the people behind the exploitation of the people, and his reputation was ruined.

After Zheng Xunrui got rid of the Ten Cao Gangs and cleaned up many Yamen officials in Fuzhou and County, the letters flew to the capital like snowflakes, and Zhang Pu and others also received a lot of letters, most of which were letters from scholars and merchants in the south, some were complaining, some were asking for help, and some were asking the court to find a way to punish Zheng Xunrui.

Of course, Zhang Pu and others know the meaning.

After three rounds of drinking, Zhang Pu spoke first.

"Zheng Xunrui started in Huai'an, on the surface, it is to rectify the luck, but in fact it is aimed at the southern scholars and businessmen, I believe you also understand the meaning, we can't sit idly by, otherwise there will be heavy changes in Nanzhili, and when the time comes, the resumption of Donglin Academy and the Ying Society will be greatly affected......"

After Zhang Pu started, Zhang Cai, Yang Yi and others agreed, and they all believed that they must find a way to stop Zheng Xunrui, although they could not publicly impeach Zheng Xunrui, but they always had to find a way to find Zheng Xunrui's weaknesses and attack with all their might, so that Zheng Xunrui could not free up his hands to deal with the scholars and businessmen in the south, and he could not shake the foundation of the Donglin Party.

Gong Dingxiao's attitude was fierce, and he even mentioned the impeachment of Zheng Xunrui, he believed that Zheng Xunrui had not been the governor of Caoyun for a long time, and he made a big move in such a short period of time, not for the sake of the court, nor for the people, but obviously to vent personal grievances and take revenge.

Only Wu Weiye has never expressed his position.

Zhang Pu and the others finally looked at Wu Weiye, nearly a year has passed, they all feel that Wu Weiye and them are drifting apart, every time they meet, there are few words, and they will not put forward any opinions.

Zhang Pu is Wu Weiye's teacher, Wu Weiye is very familiar with Wu Weiye, Wu Weiye's character is a little stubborn, on the surface it seems to be kind to others, but in fact, he has his own understanding in his heart, which is difficult for ordinary people to shake, Wu Weiye's knowledge is extraordinary, and he has his own insight into doing things, and he is not shaken by the views of others.

"Jungong, what do you think about Huai'an's affairs?"

Wu Weiye, who had been silent, did not expect that Zhang Pu would directly consult him.

After so many years, Wu Weiye gradually felt that the original intention of Zhang Pu and others had changed, and the original intention of establishing the Ying Society and the Fu Society was to gather the world's readers, criticize the * and rigidity in the government, and at the same time gather the strength of the readers, change the lifeless situation, and revitalize the Ming Dynasty, but the development trend of the Fu Society and the Ying Society is obviously not the case, especially after the union with the Donglin Academy, the Fu Society and the Ying Society have become a tool to squeeze out the readers, and those who do not agree with the theory of the Donglin Party people, no matter what the reason, It's all ruthless exclusion.

The Donglin Party was completely linked to power and became the main culprit of the party struggle in the imperial court.

This is something that Wu Weiye deeply regrets.

Wu Weiye paid more attention to Zheng Xunrui than anyone else, and he collected matters about Zheng Xunrui all the time, including Zheng Xunrui's achievements in Yansui Shaanxi and other places, as well as the fight against the Golden Tartars after the battle to exterminate the Liukou, etc., gradually, he found that Zheng Xunrui was the real person who did practical things, especially when Zheng Xunrui faced the attack of the Donglin Party many times, he did not take a posture of-for-tat, but skillfully avoided it, and was unwilling to affect the court situation for personal grievances.

If Zheng Xunrui does not have the strength to deal with the Donglin Party, it is impossible, if they can defeat the Houjin Tartars, they can make Shaanxi completely stable, and the Liukou who can fight will be afraid of the Donglin Party.

Wu Weiye believes that Zheng Xunrui cannot always be silent, and there will definitely be a time to fight back against the Donglin party.

Huai'an's matter made Wu Weiye frightened, he finally understood, Zheng Xunrui either didn't do it, or shook the foundation of the Donglin Party, just imagine, if the Donglin Party lost the support of Jiangnan scholars and businessmen, how could they develop.

However, Wu Weiye felt that Zheng Xunrui's approach was correct.

In the face of Zhang Pu's question, Wu Weiye must show his attitude, maybe this time he will show his attitude, which will cause an uproar.

"I think that what Lord Zheng did in Huai'an, there is nothing to be picky, if you insist on picking bones in the egg, I'm afraid it will be more than worth the loss, the emperor has no attitude, and the cabinet has no rumors, which shows that Lord Zheng has already thought about it clearly......"

Before Wu Weiye finished speaking, the faces of the others changed, Gong Dingyu couldn't help but stand up and began to reprimand Wu Weiye, in the face of such a situation, Wu Weiye did not refute, he also stood up and hugged his fists and said goodbye. (To be continued)
