Chapter 18 The boat of friendship between kings and ministers will capsize!
"Aiqing has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it!"
For Lu Fan, Zhu Youzhen still trusts him very much, and feels that the other party seems to have something to say, so he opened his mouth to allow it at the moment.
"If Your Majesty wants to eradicate the eunuchs on the premise that the court is not turbulent, it is not difficult, you only need to let the eunuch envoy come forward to impeach.
The people of the eunuch party are not monolithic, they have their own thoughts, remember not to involve Wei Zhongxian when impeaching, only impeach Cui Chengxiu, the secretary of the military department, and let Wei Zhongxian think that the people of the eunuch party are fighting in the infighting!"
"I understand, this plan is good!" Zhu Youzhen thought for a while, then laughed, "People say that the thief captures the king first, and the man shoots the horse first, but Lu Fan, you are doing the opposite!"
Lu Fan smiled, the eunuch party is very powerful, but the personnel are also extremely complicated, for the position of the secretary of the military department, who is not hot in the eunuch party?
If he directly dealt with Wei Zhongxian, the eunuchs under his command would inevitably panic, and if there was a disturbance, the entire capital would probably have to change.
The strategy proposed by Lu Fan was to boil frogs in warm water, commend Wei Zhongxian's merits on the one hand, and make the imperial envoys in the eunuch party impeach other other in the eunuch party, creating the illusion of fighting for power and profit within the eunuch party, so as not to cause Wei Zhongxian's dog to jump over the wall in a hurry.
That Cui Chengxiu is the secretary of the Ministry of War, in charge of military affairs, and he is the leader of the five tigers of the eunuch party, and the most important minions under Wei Zhongxian.
"As long as Cui Chengxiu, the secretary of the military department, falls, Wei Zhongxian's threat of foreign aid in the DPRK will be half gone, and it will be much easier to clean up the eunuch party in the future!"
Zhu Youzhen was very excited, the appearance of Lu Fan's strategy suddenly made his heart suddenly brighten, and he was also a lot relieved about the court shock that he was worried about.
"Your Majesty, Weichen said before that the people of the eunuch party are actually not worried, what Your Majesty should really consider is that after the fall of the eunuch party, the Donglin Party will inevitably be dominant, at that time, what should Your Majesty do?"
For the eunuch party, Lu Fan naturally has no good feelings, but for the Donglin party, Lu Fan is even more disgusted.
Perhaps the original Donglin Party such as Sun Chengzong, Yang Lian and others were indeed true gentlemen, but the Donglin Party in the late Ming Dynasty was all a group of sanctimonious hypocrites, and it is not an exaggeration to call them the moths of the country.
Wei Zhongxian at least knows how to collect money and do things, even if he doesn't like Sun Chengzong and others, but for the sake of the stability of the Liaodong border, he still reuses the other party, and he is still very principled in major matters related to the survival of the country and the nation.
However, those Donglin Party members who boast of being clean are completely different, they only care about partisan struggles, only care about personal interests and losses, and they do not care about the survival of the country and the general interests of the nation at all.
Let this kind of rotten Confucianism who only knows that there is a family but does not know that there is a country all over the court, unless Ming Taizu is alive and kills him with a river of blood, otherwise the Ming Dynasty will not die, and there is really no heavenly reason!
"Lu Fan, you are too worried, you have not been in contact with the princes of Donglin, and you don't know their character. When I was confident in the palace, I had a lot of contact with them, and they were all people with clean sleeves and high moral character, and after I eradicated the eunuchs, I would gradually carry out activities to rehabilitate Zhaoxue and restore the reputation of some Donglin party members who were persecuted by the eunuchs.
Eradicate evil, praise justice, then the court will do it together, one heart for good, then there will be no party struggle, the court is dedicated to the public, Ming Zhongxing is just around the corner!"
Hearing this, Lu Fan sighed secretly, this young emperor is still too simple and immature.
After all, he has never been a prince, he has not undergone the royal training, and it is too simple to think about politics.
"Your Majesty, there are no absolutes, Donglin may not all be gentlemen, and the eunuchs may not all be villains, the so-called elimination of the evil side and the praise of the good side can only be relative. If one side is wiped out and the other party is dominant, it is not a good thing for Your Majesty and for Da Ming!"
"Besides......."
"Enough!"
Lu Fan wanted to say something more, but Zhu Youzhen didn't want to continue listening, frowned and waved his hand, interrupting his admonition.
"Lu Fan, you are still too young, the pattern is a little smaller, you will have this worry, I also understand, but how the princes of Donglin, I know in my heart. In terms of strategy, you are stronger than them, but in terms of heart, you are still a lot worse!"
"What Your Majesty said is that Weichen is thinking too much!"
Lu Fan was helpless, it was indeed that he was thinking too much.
These days of getting along, he still has a good impression of Zhu Youzhen.
thought that he could subtly change the situation that the other party believed too much in the Donglin Party, but in the end, it turned out that he was thinking too much.
Emperor Chongzhen, who is confident that he was born in the palace, has long been brainwashed by those people in the Donglin Party, and under the influence of his ears and eyes, many ideas cannot be shaken in a few words at all.
"Lu Fan, now that I am here, the danger has been lifted, and I also know that you are not comfortable staying here, today, go out of the palace, and in the future, there will be new positions arranged with you!"
Zhu Youzhen's expression was a little solemn, he originally planned to reuse Lu Fan after clearing the eunuchs, but now it seems that this matter needs to be considered better.
This Lu Fan has prejudices against the Donglin Party, if he is allowed to take charge of Jinyiwei in the future, will it cause a party dispute between Changwei and Donglin again?
"Yes!"
Lu Fan received the order quietly, and there were no more superfluous words.
It's just that in my heart, I am completely disappointed in the emperor.
Chongzhen, after all, is still that Chongzhen, suspicious and stubborn, at all, he can't help it!
...........
In the familiar courtyard of the Lu family, Lu Fan was lying in the courtyard like a fierce tiger, and the bones on his body were clicking, like a tiger waiting for hunting.
When he came to this Ming Dynasty, although he was not keen on power, he actually wanted to do something for the last empire of the Han family.
He has already worked hard, for the sake of this regrettable Ming Dynasty after several twists and turns, and for the people of the Ming Dynasty, he has tried.
But it's a pity that the emperor is still the suspicious and suspicious emperor, many concepts have been solidified, and it is not at all that he can change with a small Jinyi Wei general banner, even if his general flag is quite favored by the emperor, but that's all.
I thought that he had participated in the historical trajectory of the destruction of the eunuch party and came into contact with the highest power holder of the Ming Dynasty, what could he Lu Fan do and change, but in the end, he found that he couldn't change anything!
The eunuch party will still be destroyed, the Donglin party will still be dominant, and the Ming dynasty will still be in dire straits, until it is overwhelmed and devoured by endless homeless people.......
Relying on others, after all, it is better to rely on yourself......
In the following days, Lu Fan lived a very leisurely life, in addition to cultivating the twelve forms of form and meaning, almost every day, he ate melons and listened to all kinds of news brought by Yin Cheng and others.
Although Yin Cheng and the others wondered where Master Zongqi had gone before, Lu Fan didn't say anything, and they didn't dare to ask more, for Lu Zongqi, who was decisive in killing, they had always been very afraid in their hearts.
In particular, every time they come into contact, Yin Cheng, Ding'an and others can keenly feel that their own general flag lord seems to have a deeper and more introverted aura, and his strength has become more terrifying.
Like a dragon holding back its anger, lurking in the abyss, staring at the sky, waiting to change the sky!
Waiting for the time to meet the wind and clouds, once turn into a dragon!
