Chapter 43 The Donglin Party’s Countermeasures

The capital of the Ming Dynasty, Beijing, had already started to light. The people were curfewed in their homes after the gongs of the government, but the officials were still continuing their nightlife. This was never a fair world. The story of state officials setting fires and not lighting the lights will be repeated at any time.

Of course, for the officials of the Donglin Party who are now in charge of the government and have always been selfless and selfless, they will not talk about being indulgent and playing with the romance and romance at this time. At this time, in the mansion of the chief minister Ye Xianggao, the young master Xianji, and all the wise men came. The Minister of Personnel ** Xing, the Left Commander Gao Panlong, the Ministry of Rites Aid Foreign Minister Gu Dazhang, and the Left Commander Yang Lian... These people who hold important positions in the court and have left an immortal reputation in history sit in the lobby of the Gao family and talk in a low voice.

At this time, Ye Xianggao, who was over 60 years old, walked in slowly. He glanced at everyone present and frowned: "Why are you so reckless? Don't you know that the eunuchsmen are watching us tightly now? Why are they all coming to me at the same time?" After hearing the servant's report, he felt a little puzzled, but he still couldn't have imagined that there would be so many people coming to the door today, and these people were important officials in the court. Ye Xianggao knew that if this matter was discovered by the omnipresent secret spies under Wei Zhongxian, there would be countless censors' meetings to impeach the court tomorrow.

At this time, the status among the crowd was not much different from that among Ye Xianggao. As another leader of the Donglin Party, **xing, said: "Brother Taishan, don't blame them. Today I called them to your mansion. There is something that is really bad for us. If we don't discuss a solution because we are afraid of being criticized by others, the matter will probably be even more serious."

Ye Xianggao's position as the chief minister is indeed higher than the top star, but in terms of age and reputation among the Donglin Party, he is still half short of the top star. Now that he has spoken, he still has to give this face, so he smiled bitterly: "Brother Mengbai, I know what you want to say, but..." He looked at a 60-year-old man sitting in the inconspicuous place below, "But this matter is indeed questionable. We actually know what the Wang family did in the local area. Now they have taken it out and there is a case file, so I'm afraid we won't be able to intervene."

At this time, the old man in a commoner who was sitting in the corner stood up, walked to the eyes of everyone, bowed and bowed and said, "It was my Wang Wenyan who had never taken care of his family well, which made the adults worry. But this matter was just that the people in my family were not good and had nothing to do with the adults here. Even if they were impeached, the villain would be willing to bear it on his shoulders and would never implicate others."

"You are wrong in classical Chinese. Even though this matter is indeed not related to us, you are willing to take responsibility. But do you think that with the style of eunuchs, they will only find you?" Although Gao Panlong has been a key official in the court for a long time, his temper remains the same, otherwise he would not have been able to reach the high position of Zuo Du Yu, who specializes in finding faults.

Wang Wenyan's face turned dark when he heard this. When he received a letter from his brother from She County, he knew that the matter was a little bad. Then someone in Nanjing sent a message that the Nanzhen Fushi had sent someone to She County. This made him even more panicked and hurried to tell the matter to **xing, which led to this party tonight. Now it seems that he is too indulging in his hometown. What they have done has already made the local people very dissatisfied, otherwise this incident would not have happened. After regretting for a long time, he cheered up: "You don't have to worry about me, I will go to the yamen to apologize tomorrow."

"No." Gao Panlong shook his head, "In this way, you will be guilty. At that time, they will impeach us further. Even if it will not cause any harm to us, it will also damage the reputation of our people in the Donglin. And everyone should also know the methods of those people. If you are really guilty of classical Chinese, they are likely to imprison you in the imperial prison. Don't forget that the Jinyiwei is no longer the Jinyiwei two years ago, and Tian Ergeng, Xu Xianchun and others will not miss this great opportunity."

This made some other officials deeply agree. Wang Wenyan was also impeached and was impeached. However, this time, the care of Luo Sigong, the commander of the Jinyiwei who completely controlled the court and was close to them, made him feel safe. But now it is different from the past. Now, everyone can guess the outcome of Wang Wenyan entering the imperial prison again.

Seeing that everyone disagreed with Wang Wenyan's apology, Ye Xianggao looked at the man who had never spoken. He was a middle-aged man in his forties, but his temples were gray. He paid a lot of iron sand envoy Yang Lian for the sake of the emperor and the court. Perhaps he was far behind everyone here in terms of age, and he could not compare with **star and Ye Xianggao in terms of qualifications and official positions, but in the eyes of the Donglin Party, he had the same status as these two leaders. Because it was because of his relationship that the current emperor Tianqi could successfully ascend the throne, and the Donglin Party could continue to preside over the government. Seeing Ye Xianggao's eyes turned to him, Yang Lian said, "If I were to let me be a general."

According to the identity of an official, it is a crime to indulge Wang Wenyan to commit his family to commit crimes. Even if you remove your official position, you will be expelled from the capital." At this point, he looked at Wang Wenyan standing below and found that he was full of guilt, "But if I think about the court and the general trend of the world, I cannot agree with this method. In this way, his eunuch party's arrogance will be more arrogant, and we will fall into a passive situation without Mr. Wang's plan." His words have pointed to the final key point, that is, Wang Wenyan's role in the Donglin Party. If he had not appeared at the beginning, the Donglin Party would not have been able to control the government and defeat the Qi, Chu and Zhejiang parties. He was the think tank of the Donglin Party in political struggle.

This time, even Ye Xianggao was moved. He nodded slightly and said, "It's a small matter to be criticized by others, but if the eunuch party takes advantage of the situation, it will be unfavorable to our Ming Dynasty. The behavior of these eunuch party members is better than classical Chinese. Why do we have to blame them all? But we must have a countermeasure in this matter. I wonder if you have any solutions?" Dahong is Yang Lian's name, and Ye Xianggao's name is also to show his respect for this young and powerful faction.

Yang Lian's answer disappointed him: "No. The mistake was originally in the Wang family, and the county magistrate was not good at it. We can't remove him from his post, right? So I have no way to get rid of this matter."

At this time, ** Xing, who was sitting on it, suddenly nodded to Wang Wenyan, obviously asking him to propose a solution. Seeing that he had shrugged himself, Wang Wenyan boldly said, "I have a way, maybe it can be done. But I'm afraid that you all will disagree." ** Xing said in a very timely manner: "Let me tell me, you have always been our think tank. This time the matter is not only related to you, but also has a significant impact on the entire court."

Ye Xianggao and Yang Lian both looked at them and knew that they must have had a consensus before coming here. But now is not a time to be fair, so they did not raise any objections. Seeing this, Wang Wenyan knew that this was a critical moment, so she said his own solution: "My idea has three steps. The first step is to send someone to persuade the magistrate of Tang in She County so that he can give him a high position."

One of the officials immediately asked, "How do you say this? This county magistrate refused to listen to the words of the superiors' yamen. How could he listen to our advice? And who should I send?" Wang Wenyan was prepared for this question: "In fact, there is a suitable candidate in the capital, that is Xu Cang, who is an editor in the Hanlin Academy. He was the same year when Tang Feng was in the imperial examination that year. The relationship between the two was also very good. If he went to persuade the county magistrate Tang, it might make him change his mind."

When Ye and Yang saw that he had even decided on the candidates for lobbyists, they further confirmed that everything was in control of this person, so they felt a little relaxed. Seeing that no one had any other opinions, Wang Wenyan continued: "The second step is to impeach the eunuchs and censors from all walks of life together, so that they were busy dealing with our attacks and forgot to use the matter of She County. The third step is to ask the villain to retire to the court after this, and then leave the capital. In this way, it is impossible for them to find this excuse to be an enemy of you. I wonder what you think the villain is doing?"

After a while of silence, Ye Xianggao spoke first: "Your three steps are possible. As long as the first step is really successful, the next two steps are just icing on the cake. But in this way, don't you still have to leave the capital?"

** Xing Yixiao said, "Leaving the capital is just an illusion. We will arrange for him to come back secretly. You don't have to mind too much about Taishan. However, Xu Cang is the key to this matter. If he cannot convince the magistrate of Tang County, the matter will still be unfavorable to us."

"I'm not worried about this." Yang Lian also inserted it in at this time and said, "This Tang County Magistrate is also a Jinshi on both lists. In addition, he is young and energetic. It would be fine if he had never heard of what the eunuch party did. Otherwise, he would have stood on the same side as us. He had not read the words of the saint for more than ten years in vain!"
