His Majesty wants to summon these ministers to Xinfeng County to observe and inspect the power of the new musket artillery, so naturally they must gather at the gate of the palace first, and then set off together when His Majesty's Luan driver comes out of the palace.

When the ministers of the imperial court really arrived at the gate of the palace, they were all concentrated in their own interest groups, communicating with each other in groups.

In recent years, the struggle between the Donglin Party and the eunuch ministers has become more and more intense, and both sides look down on each other, and they have a bit of an old and dead appearance.

If it weren't for Zhu Youxiao's forcible suppression, even the normal office of the imperial court might have been affected.

Xu Guangqi here, Sun Chengzong also gathered some ministers around him, for example, Liu Hongxun, the attendant of the Hanlin Academy, is a very representative figure.

This Liu Hongxun survived smoothly from the last change in the capital.

At that time, Hui Shiyang and others were in turmoil with Zhu Chunchen, and Liu Hongxun had a relatively high prestige among the Donglin Party, and at the same time, he was the editor of the Hanlin Academy, and his position was relatively noble.

Hui Shiyang and the others planned to pull him into the water at that time, but he was not ashamed of the behavior of Hui Shiyang, Zhu Chunchen and others, and resolutely refused the other party's suggestion to pull him into the gang, but ran back home directly, closed the door, and closed the door to thank the guests.

At that time, although Hui Shiyang and the others were not used to his approach, but because of his high status, not to mention that cracking down on a mere Liu Hongxun did not benefit their plan, but it seemed that they could not tolerate people, so they put this matter on hold first.

Later, when Zhu Youxiao's army invaded the capital, Liu Hongxun sent his son and family members to the streets to assist Zhu Youxiao's army and fight those rebellious soldiers, so after Zhu Youxiao returned, he was successfully reinstated.

In addition, there are also several officials, who are characterized by squatting in the imperial court in addition to the original, and then they have avoided all kinds of pits with great hardship and survived to the present.

There are also some people who were slightly able to do things in the Donglin Party in the past, but they were later summoned back from outside the government and the opposition by Zhu Youxiao, and they were given several official positions to let them do things.

These people have always been regarded as a thorn in the side of the ministers of the eunuch party, a thorn in the flesh, seeing several of them gathered together, those eunuch ministers next to them are eager to have clairvoyance and ears, listen to what rebellious things these Donglin party people are planning, and plan to report to Your Majesty at any time, and click all the people of these Donglin party.

Xu Guangqi and Sun Chengzong seemed a little sluggish, in fact, they were also deceived by Hui Shiyang and others about some spiritual love, and they really thought that Zhu Youxiao was dead and participated in supporting Zhu Youzhen's ascendancy.

Although they later discovered that the situation was not right, and they were categorically unwilling to participate in the later actions of Hui Shiyang and others, there was no way to extract themselves from this incident no matter what.

Fortunately, Zhu Youxiao also knew that they were just stupid, and they were not particularly bad, so he picked them out and let them stay in their original positions.

"Elder Sun Ge, what do you think Your Majesty's approach means? It's been a long time since Your Majesty has summoned us to accompany you. ”

Sun Chengzong over there looked very depressed, as if he hadn't heard Liu Hongxun's question, and just said casually: "What's this, Your Majesty wants to travel and summon our ministers to come and accompany you, isn't that also what it should be?" ”

Liu Hongxun shook his head when he heard this, although Sun Chengzong's status is very high, but Liu Hongxun is upright, and he is not afraid of him.

I saw Liu Hongxun say in a low voice, "In my opinion, this matter is not so simple. ”

"Your Majesty has always disliked us Donglin Party members, and I believe that all of you colleagues are very clear about this, but now what Your Majesty has revealed is not only like this, in my opinion, I am afraid there are some deeper meanings."

Sun Chengzong over there is obviously in a very low mood recently, Zhu Youxiao trusts him a lot, but he fell into rebellion, Zhu Youxiao did not punish him, but this is also a big blow to him.

He didn't seem to hear Liu Hongxun's words, and he still looked dumbfounded.

Xu Guangqi over there sighed, his embarrassment was a little less than that of Sun Chengzong, when Hui Shiyang and others launched a rebellion, because his reputation among Shilin was not as high as Sun Chengzong, and he didn't like to fight for anything, so he was never the one who rushed ahead.

Later, the conspiracy of Hui Shiyang and others was exposed, and his guilt was obviously much smaller than Sun Chengzong, not to mention his proud disciple Sun Yuanhua, who also made a great contribution to His Majesty's army this time, so he is obviously much better than Sun Chengzong now.

He saw that Sun Chengzong was obviously absent-minded, and Xu Guangqi here was not good at snubbing Liu Hongxun too much, so he had to stand up and say, "What Liu Bianxiu said is also very reasonable, Your Majesty is indeed a little different from before, but I don't know what Liu Bianxiu thinks about the meaning of this." ”

Liu Hongxun over there also shook his head when he looked at Sun Chengzong, but turned his head to look at Xu Guangqi, in his mind, Xu Guangqi's role is now higher than that Sun Chengzong.

Because everyone knows that Xu Guangqi's proud disciple Sun Yuanhua is now His Majesty's confidant, and at the same time, His Majesty likes Xu Guangqi very much and praises the other party's talent many times, which everyone sees in their eyes.

I saw that this Liu Hongxun gave Xu Guangqi a salute, and Xu Guangqi did not hold it up, and also gave this Liu Hongxun a salute back.

Liu Hongxun said meaningfully, "Now in the imperial court, they will soon completely fall into the hands of the eunuchs, and our majesty's skill is not comparable to ordinary emperors." ”

"In the past few years, whether we are the Donglin Party or the Eunuch Party, we have all been played with by him."

"Fools like Hui Shiyang, they still think that they can break their wrists with His Majesty, they just don't know how thick the sky is."

"However, this is not entirely a bad thing, if it was before, we people would naturally be the focus of His Majesty's attack, but now it seems that this matter is a little different."

"I'm afraid Your Majesty will not sit idly by and watch the eunuchs take control of the entire court, because this is categorically not beneficial to Your Majesty."

After all, Xu Guangqi's political wisdom is not as high as Liu Hongxun's, and he was a little misunderstood when he heard Liu Hongxun say this.

I only heard him say: "What Liu Bianxiu said is not right, whether it is our Donglin Party or the minister of the Eunuch Party, in fact, in the mind of His Majesty, there is no difference. ”

"Brother Shen!"

"Hmm!"

Shen Changqing walked on the road, and when he met someone he knew well, he would say hello to each other or nod his head.

But it doesn't matter who it is.

There was no superfluous expression on everyone's face, as if they were very indifferent to everything.

on this.

Shen Changqing is used to it.

Because this is the Demon Suppression Division, it is an institution that maintains the stability of Great Qin, and its main responsibility is to kill demons and monsters, and of course there are some other side jobs.

Arguably.

In the Demon Suppression Division, everyone has a lot of blood on their hands.

When a person is accustomed to seeing life and death, then he will become indifferent to many things.

When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but over time he got used to it.

The Demon Suppression Division is huge.

The people who can stay in the Demon Suppression Division are all powerful masters, or people who have the potential to become masters.

Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.

Among them, the Demon Suppression Division is divided into two professions, one is the town guard and the other is the demon exterminator.

Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Division starts with the lowest level of demon slayer.

Then step by step, he is expected to become a town guard.

Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the Demon Suppression Division, and he was also the lowest level of the demon slayer envoys.

Have memories of the predecessor.

He is also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.

It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of an attic.

Unlike other places full of slaughter, the attic here seems to stand out from the crowd, and in the bloody Demon Suppression Division, it presents a different tranquility.

At this time, the attic door is open, and there are occasional people entering and exiting.

Shen Changqing only hesitated for a moment, and then stepped in.

Access to the attic.

The environment has changed in vain.

A burst of ink fragrance mixed with the faint smell of blood came to his face, making his brow furrow instinctively, but quickly stretched.

The smell of blood on everyone's body in the Demon Suppression Division is almost impossible to clean.
