Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are parties, there are factions.

The Donglin Party is not monolithic, and there are also moderate and radical factions internally. For example, Shoufu Ye Xianggao, Huang Zunsu, Zou Yuanbiao and others are all moderates, while Yang Lian, Zhao Nanxing, Wei Dazhong and others belong to the radical faction. The moderates do not advocate tearing their faces with the eunuchs and fighting to the death, on the contrary, they advocate cooperation with Wei Zhongxian. However, it is precisely because of this that Ye Xianggao, who is the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty, does not get much support in the Donglin Party, and many times, his words are far less tough than Zhao Nanxing or Yang Lian and Zuo Guangdou.

Just as everyone was shouting for "fighting," those few who insisted on "not fighting" naturally became the targets of everyone's shouting, however, who knows, those who insist on "not fighting" may be far more patriotic and loyal to the monarch than those who shout for "fighting." The reason why they did not choose to follow the general trend is only because they know that they really think for the country and the nation, not just for a "good name."

Since ancient times, the clear stream has often misled the country, and the ministers are ministers, and the ministers are small ministers. Ministers act in the public and in the country; The ministers act for their own interests and for the benefit of fame.

Ye Xianggao, who was the first assistant, was very distressed, because he saw that Donglin's sky was about to fall, but he couldn't reach out to resist it. It's not that he doesn't want to, it's that he can't do it.

Shoufu, under one person and above 10,000 people, it stands to reason that he can turn the tide and turn the world upside down, but Ye Xianggao knows that in the face of the upcoming storm, all he can do is to keep a few people who are beneficial to the country and can really do things! As for the others, it is up to them to go. Whether it is life or death, blessing or curse, it is all predestined, and he is not a god and cannot decide the fate of others.

Han Yi and Ye Xianggao, the second assistants who came to visit late at night, had already sat for half a pillar of incense, and when the matter came, they finally sighed and said: "Yang Dahong's move has little hope of success, Zhengde Dynasty Yang Yi eliminated the eunuch Liu Jin, and it was the eunuch Zhang Yong who responded internally. And today, Yang Dahong only fights with his tongue, which is like an empty-handed tiger! ”

Han Yi is also a veteran of the Donglin Party, but like Ye Xianggao, he is also a moderate, and everything he does is determined by fairness, so he was able to coexist with the so-called "evil party" ministers such as the Zhejiang Party and the Chu Party back then, and was respected by others. When the Red Pill case broke out in the first year of the Apocalypse, the Donglin Party tried to take the opportunity to vent its anger and expel all the three parties, but because Han Yi told the truth about the beginning and end of Chen Jinyao, he protected the first auxiliary Fang Congzhe and did not cause a big injustice. Since then, he has been hated by Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou, and Gao Panlong, as if he was a traitor to Donglin. But because his entry into the cabinet was handled by Ye Xianggao, although he was disgraced by most of the Donglin Party, this auxiliary position was also easily unacceptable.

Listening to Han Yi's words, Ye Xianggao smiled bitterly: "Yang Lian is confused, the official can admonish such a matter, but Jiuqing can't say it lightly, if one blow misses, there will be Dou Wu of the Eastern Han Dynasty, He Jin and others who will be killed for plotting against the eunuchs!" ”

"Alas! …”

Han Yi sighed, he and Ye Xianggao were both old, and their temples were born early, and they originally thought that they would return to their hometown in two years to retire, but they would be deeply involved in this party dispute.

After sighing, he couldn't help but ask, "Is Elder Ge really not protecting Yang Dahong?" ”

"Does he need an old man's protection? Where can the old man keep him..."

Ye Xianggao got up slowly, looked out the window weakly, and said softly: "I can't even ask for Wei Zhongxian now, how can I play a role." Now, we can only be outsiders and try our best to save some blood for Donglin. ”

Ye Xianggao's attitude was obviously that he had given up on Yang Lian and them, and listening to his meaning, it seemed that Wei Zhongxian would definitely wave the butcher knife this time, which made Han Yi stunned, and hesitated: "Wei Zhongxian should not be the kind of person who kills everything, besides, you and I have a lot of help to him, he will never do anything desperately." ”

Ye Xianggao also smiled bitterly: "Together with the prison, he can't stop it even if he wants to." ”

Han Yi still couldn't believe that Wei Zhongxian would even solve them, thinking of something, he hurriedly said: "The Dongchang Black Flag Arrow Team broke into the edict, I pressed it down, we can be regarded as selling him a heavenly favor, he can't help but appreciate it." ”

Ye Xianggao said leisurely: "Maybe he thinks differently from us, I can't say that he will be thinking, why are you Han Yi so kind, helping him to suppress the foreign court, I'm afraid that there are weird, weird, hehe..."

"Why don't we enter the palace tomorrow?" Han Yi didn't want to sit back, he felt that even if things were irretrievable, they should give it a try, if they could really avoid things from happening, it would be good for the Donglin Party and Daming.

"Tomorrow we won't go anywhere, just stay at home." Ye Xianggao's voice was not loud, but his tone was very resolute.

"Don't go to court?" Han Yi was stunned for a moment, tomorrow is the day of the court meeting, as the first and second assistants of the cabinet, how can he not go to the court?

Ye Xianggao had already made up his mind, and waved his hand: "No, the old man doesn't want to see Yang Lian and their defeated, and he doesn't want to see the ugliness of the minions of the inner court." ”

Han Yi thought about it, and now that it is true, it may be a good choice not to see it with his own eyes.

"It's okay, if Yang Lian fails, Wei Zhongxian can't implicate us immediately, we can always think of a way to resolve it, if Yang Lian succeeds, we will also be happy to see it."

When Ye Xianggao heard this, he was silent for a moment, and then sighed: "I originally turned my heart to the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch." ”

After Han Yi heard this, it was not a taste, Ye Xianggao's words were obviously indignant at what Yang Lian and the others had done, thinking of what he had experienced in the past few years, he was also Qi Qi Ran and felt empathy.

..............

It was late at night, since Ye Xianggao was not ready to stop it, and it was inconvenient for Han Yi to stay, so he got up to say goodbye, and was about to say that the doorman of Ye Mansion came from outside: "Xiangye, Lord Zuo Guangdou of the Imperial Palace of the Metropolitan Procuratorate asks to see you!" ”

"Oh? Zuo Guangdou is here? Who else? "Han Yi is happy, is there still a turn for the better?

The man said respectfully: "Yushi Huang Zunsu, Li Yingsheng, and Xiangye's protégé Miao Changqi." ”

Ye Xianggao touched his beard and groaned slightly: "Well, it seems that a few of them are not stupid, they know that what Yang Dahong will do tomorrow will not succeed, so they want to come and ask the old man to stop him." ”

"Elder Ge meets them?" No matter how different his political views were, Han Yi always did not want to see the collapse of the Donglin Party with his own eyes, and he was still willing to give it a try if he had the opportunity.

Ye Xianggao frowned, obviously hesitating to see or not, but in the end, he finally waved his hand and ordered the man: "Tell Lord Zuo about them, just say that the old man is unwell and can't see guests, tell them to go back." ”

"This..."The doorman was stunned, isn't this good, why didn't he see a guest?

Ye Xianggao saw him stunned, and snorted slightly: "Don't go yet." ”

The man was stunned, and hurriedly retreated.

Han Yi wanted to open his mouth to dissuade him, but seeing Ye Xianggao's resolute attitude, he gave up this thought. At that moment, he said goodbye to Ye Xianggao and went out of the back door instead.
