The emperor has already issued an order to let Lu Xiangsheng think about it behind closed doors at home! Although he did not explicitly tell the world, all kinds of measures are showing that he has lost the trust of the emperor, and the emperor is now treating him like this, just waiting for Lu Xiangsheng's political enemies to impeach him, and then the emperor will act as a mediator, according to his own wishes, either derogatory punishment or open the net.

"What is the reasoning? The cabinet has obviously made a great contribution to Sheji, if it weren't for his efforts to turn the tide, I'm afraid that the Liukou would have already beaten to the Jingshi, what is this doing now? Do you cross the river and tear down the bridge? ”

Chen Kaiyuan was indignant, and he was the most affected by Lu Xiangsheng's conviction. At this time, the news of Shandong had already reached the Three Guards Army, and after Yang Sichang took office, he made a large-scale adjustment to the previous Lu Xiangsheng's team. At the same time, it also specially asked people to examine the evidence so that they could be impeached. The motivation for doing this is naturally to completely eradicate Lu Xiangsheng's influence in the army and the local area, but Chen Kaiyuan, as a soldier in Shandong, is in the liquidation of Yang Sichang.

He now has a home that is difficult to return to, a country running south, and even his position in the Three Guards is embarrassing. It stands to reason that he should return to Shandong after the mission is completed, but he does not dare to leave now.

Why? When he goes back, not only will he lose his credit, but there will even be a prison sentence waiting for him, and a fool will go back.

Therefore, Chen Kaiyuan's righteous indignation is ostensibly fighting for Lu Xiangsheng, but in fact, he is venting his indignation.

Zhang Yingxuan's situation is different from Chen Kaiyuan, he is a household servant, Lu Xiangsheng can return to Beijing after his errand is completed, at least not under Yang Sichang's nose, and the probability of retaliation is much lower.

"Brother Zi'an, don't be impatient, it's hard to say what happened in the court now, and you have to make a conclusion when things have an eyebrow." Zhang Yingxuan sighed, his mission in Lianghuai was completed, since Lu Xiangsheng had left Shandong, there was no need for him to go to Dezhou to find Yang Sichang to recover his life, the big deal was to meet Jingshi.

To be honest, Yang Sichang's actions made Zhang Yingxun very disgusted, but since this matter was a decision made by the imperial court, the emperor must have known about it, or supported it. He only wanted to know now what reason the imperial court used to transfer Lu Xiangsheng back to Beijing, and Yang Sichang had obviously been convicted, how did he come back to life.

While the two men were arguing, the door opened.

When they saw the people who entered the room clearly, Zhang Yingxuan and Chen Kaiyuan were surprised.

"Marquis of the Town?"

Shouldn't Li Xin be in Nanjing at the moment? When did Lianghuai come? What is the purpose of coming? The brains of the two of them were spinning fast, and they had already thought of various possibilities in just a moment's effort.

"What? Don't you welcome me? ”

Chen Kaiyuan hurriedly got up and invited Li Xin to the main seat. His courtesy made Zhang Yingxuan frown for a while, this Chen Zi'an mentioned Li Xinlai before, but he was a thief and Qiu Ba. And now he is being accused of being so attentive in front of him, and this kind of inconsistent behavior is also what Zhang Yingxuan has always been dissatisfied with.

But then he figured out that Chen Kaiyuan's current situation was very bad, and he could only escape Yang Sichang's retaliation if he hooked up with Li Xin. In the final analysis, Chen Zi'an is also a person who has the heart to do something for the imperial court. However, the party and government of the imperial court are endless, because they are in the wrong direction, countless people have been liquidated, and Chen Zi'an is neither the first nor the last.

It's just that Yang Sichang's disregard for the overall situation and his personal grievances against the national government exceeded Zhang Yingxuan's expectations. Although he was appeasing Chen Kaiyuan, he had a few handfuls of mud, in fact, he had already seen it in his heart, this was a blatant retaliation.

Yang Sichang and Chen Kai are not on good terms, this is well known, and he is so disrespectful of decency, it seems that his mind is distorted to a certain extent.

"The Marquis of Zhenyu is here, it's too late for the officials to rejoice, how can they not welcome it?"

A dry smile appeared on Chen Kaiyuan's face.

Li Xin smiled: "You should welcome me, because I'm here to help you!" ”

Chen Kaiyuan's face did not change, but his heart was like a stormy wave, and he instantly had a premonition that the purpose of Zhenhou coming here must be related to Lu Xiangsheng and Yang Sichang.

Sure enough, Li Xin didn't sell Guanzi either, and went straight to the point.

"Yang Sichang beheaded a group of officials in Shandong, accused of embezzlement in the court, and he was a rogue!"

What the?

Zhang Yingxuan slapped the table and bounced off the chair, and even his beard faintly exploded because of anger. And Chen Kaiyuan almost couldn't stand on his feet and fell, he only felt that the world was spinning in an instant, as if the whole world had collapsed.

The worst plan he had made was to suffer some prison, who would have thought that Yang Sichang was playing hard enough now to kill people directly, how much revenge did he have to be so ruthless.

"It doesn't make sense, what does he get by doing this?"

Zhang Yingxuan said his own questions.

Li Xin sneered: "It's just a madman, do you still need a reason?" ”

And the subtext in his heart is, how can the crazy person be Yang Sichang? How many of the entire imperial court, including the cabinet ministers, are not crazy? And the most crazy person is naturally none other than Emperor Zhu Youzhen.

If he wasn't crazy, how could he sit down and self-destruct the Great Wall so stupidly? Chongzhen once changed the cabinet head assistant like a marquee, and dozens of them have been changed in just over ten years, even if the children are more reliable than this.

"Who said no, Yang Sichang is a madman! Look, sooner or later, if he does this, he will ruin all the good situations laid down by the Lu Gebu! ”

This sentence hit Zhang Yingxuan's weakness, and he looked at Li Xin with concern.

"The Marquis of Zhenyu can't let the rogue ruin the hard work of the Lu Gebu!"

"Heartwork?" Chen Kaiyuan's voice became sharp, "Lu Gebu's hard work has long been ruined, that madman has killed so many people, what else is left?" Could it be that Brother Baomo wants the Marquis of Zhenyu to go and take the fire for him? ”

Zhang Yingxuan's starting point is actually from the perspective of the imperial court, whether it is the Lu Party, the Yang Party, or the Li Party, isn't the world still Ming? Whether it's Shandong or Lianghuai, aren't they all surnamed Zhu? But if the thieves take it away, can this Ming still be the Ming Dynasty?

However, he ignored an important fact, that in fact, these so-called parties are a community of interests, and they naturally do not talk about any major righteousness, as long as they are beneficial to themselves, even if they collaborate with the enemy and betray the country, they will do it. If you can save the world from fire and water, you won't reach out half a finger to help.

And this is the essence of party struggle. In all dynasties, there have been countless people who have lost their country because of party disputes. For example, the Niu and Li party struggles at the end of the Tang Dynasty squeezed out the last blood of the Tang Dynasty and accelerated the demise of the Li and Tang dynasties. So these ministers in the court are the same party, you sing and I appear, a good court is like a person with malaria, suddenly fever, and suddenly chills. In the end, it was not that the vitality was exhausted, making the corruption of the government irreparable.

Although the party struggle in the court is far less serious, in the process of the emperor pulling the bias, the contradictions under the subordinates have accumulated deeply. The domineering person cannot be punished, and the wronged person is rarely redressed, and if this goes on like this, this person's heart will be tossed by the emperor little by little.

Zhang Yingxuan is not a person who criticizes behind his back, but he still has to admit that there has always been an evaluation of the emperor's meanness and unkindness in the officialdom. Those villains who use public weapons for personal gain are reused.

Wen Tiren, Zhou Yanru, Yang Sichang, which one is the talent, virtue, and ability of the prime minister?

The emperor is so indulgent to them, but how many of these people have a psychological side of the emperor?

On the contrary, Li Xin, who has always been hit by the Chinese officials of the DPRK like a thief, still has the overall situation in his heart, and compared with those officials who are full of loyalty to the monarch and hypocritical Taoism, he is a figure who returns to the truth. However, his good impression of Li Xin only stops there, this person has a backbone in the back of his head, and sooner or later he will become a problem in the heart of Daming.

But now it seems that the Ming Dynasty does not need outsiders to push it, and it is enough for the emperor to toss it for a few more years!

Thinking about it, tears oozed out of Zhang Yingxuan's evil eyes, and he had a heart to serve the country, but this world couldn't even tolerate this heart of serving the country, and all that could be tolerated were those despicable and shameless traitorous villains.

"The old man will leave to return to Beijing tomorrow, Brother Zi'an, you and I will say goodbye tomorrow!"

Although he was discouraged, he could not be left alone.

"Confused! Brother Bomo, you've always been saying I'm confused. Why are you stupid today? Can you go back? Before he could get out of Shandong's territory, he had to be caught and cut off by that Yang madman! ”

A cold light suddenly shot out of Zhang Yingxuan's eyes.

"Yang Sichang also killed guilty people, if they have a clean foundation, how can they be caught? In the end, it's still not right! The old man is doing the right thing, he is not afraid of Yang Sichang to check, he can't find it! ”

Chen Kaiyuan wanted to persuade again, but Zhang Yingxuan immediately pulled out the posture of saying another word from you, and I will cut your robe with you. He moved his mouth, only to sigh again.

"Brother Baomo, you, you will regret it!"

Zhang Yingxuan's stubbornness made him look a little tragic.

"The old man has never regretted it in his life, and I really want to taste what it feels like to regret!"

Chen Kaiyuan was choked by Zhang Yingxuan and couldn't speak, and sat back in the Taishi chair in a rage, the reason why he persuaded Zhang Yingxuan was completely out of good intentions. And Li Xin watched coldly, and clearly saw the heart of this waiter, he was already desperate!
