But now Wei Zhongxian didn't expect that his ancestral temple career would finally suffer a major setback. He had to ask Wang Tigan: "Why is it Haibei Town again? Does Governor Liu know that this is what the people want and what they want?"

Wei Zhongxian might think that all this is what the people want, and the people want, and officials and people from all over the country sincerely pray for the eunuch Wei and build a temple for Wei Zhongxian.

However, Wang Tigan, who was closest to Wei Zhongxian, knew very well that this was just a illusion of Wei Zhongxian. Wei Zhongxian's series of actions in building a temple made him stand opposite to the world's scholars. Now all scholars who claim to be a little shame have defected to Haibei Town.

Therefore, Wang Tigan could only smile bitterly: "I guess Governor Liu knows this truth, but most of the things are bad at the hands of some interested people around Governor Liu!"

Wang Tigan was just thinking about how to persuade Wei Zhongxian, but Wei Zhongxian suddenly realized: "This is said so well. Governor Liu just can't control the people around him!"

When Wang Tigan heard this, he felt that he didn't know how to answer. Now the popular people around Wei Zhongxian had reached the point of lawlessness. He always felt that Wei Zhongxian would definitely cause great things if he continued to become popular, but now Wei Zhongxian was intoxicated in his own world and always thought that he was truly wise and powerful.

But Wei Zhongxian couldn't listen to the truth now, so Wang Titan didn't dare to speak, while Li Yongzhen next to him quickly jumped out and gave Haibei Town eye medicine: "Yes, Eunuch Wei, you are too generous. Look at what Haibei Town and Shandong are like now. Now I don't know how many traitors and traitors who are interested in opposing Lord Si Li all went to Shandong to commit great rebellion in the name of lectures, but Governor Liu ignored it. If this continues, he will become a traitor!"

Wei Zhongxian deeply agrees with what he said. Now that the eunuch party has an absolute advantage in the court, he naturally wants to chase it to the end. If the Donglin Party pursues it, it will only destroy the future of this person's officialdom, while the eunuch party will eliminate it to the end, and even play the trick of scouting the house and extermination of the clan, which is very involved.

Under such circumstances, some of the Donglin Party and Donglin mortal enemies who were hunted by the eunuch party were resolutely and calmly, but there were also many smart people who felt unwilling to join the eunuch party and felt that the water was too cold. Therefore, they chose a very wise route, which was to go to Shandong to give lectures!

Although Wei Zhongxian could mobilize the Tiqi, Mianyiwei or other powerful departments, in Haibei Town, neither Mianyiweibei North Fushi Department nor other powerful departments dared to openly operate, or even use powerful means.

Therefore, although many schools have emerged in the East Three Prefectures, twenty or thirty academies have emerged, and these academies have invited famous teachers. These famous teachers not only came from Jinshi, but also served as governors, but also had a Juren.

After these Donglin Party members and their mortal enemies of the Donglin Party were charged with the remnants of the Donglin Party by the eunuch party, they began to try to keep warm together, and rely on the acquiescence of Haibei Town to create a great momentum.

Some scholars who claim to be famous have adopted a more wise approach. The place where they study and teach is on the border between Haibei Town and Jinan Prefecture. As long as there is a slight disturbance, they may escape to Haibei Town at any time. However, they usually teach on the territory of Jinan Prefecture, so that there is room for advance and retreat.

And with the extreme expansion of the eunuch party, many party members have now placed their hopes on Haibei Town and Liu Peng. The more he looks at Liu Peng, the more he likes him. He even wrote letters to Liu Peng from time to time, asking him to raise an army to clear the ruling side. Although Liu Peng did not reply, he ordered the activities of these party members and promised them: "No matter what, Haibei and Denglai will never build a temple!"

For Wei Zhongxian and Haibei, whether to build a living temple or not is the best way to identify the enemy. Now even vassal kings like the King of Chu are building living temples. Haibei Town and Liu Peng not only do not set an example, but instead fanned the flames everywhere. This is really annoying. Therefore, Li Yongzhen followed Wei Zhongxian's thoughts and continued: "What's more, Liu Peng is just a martial artist. He was born as an official. If he hadn't met Eunuch Wei's appreciation, his life would be just an experience, just a verdict!"

Speaking of this, Li Yongzhen has already begun to defend Wei Zhongxian: "But Eunuch Wei appreciates Liu Peng and Governor Liu so much, but Governor Liu doesn't know how to love himself. Instead, he interacts with bandits and vents his anger with them everywhere, and even uses those bandits to attack Wei eunuch. Others can watch it, but I, Li Yongzhen, can't bear it anymore!"

Hearing Li Yongzhen say this, Wei Zhongxian nodded repeatedly: "I originally thought that Liu Peng was just a martial artist and knew how to repay kindness. Now I know what it means to be an ungrateful wolf. If he continues like this..."

Wei Zhongxian wanted to make a few harsh words, but found that he could not make any harsh words at all. The key was that Liu Peng's Haibei Army. Many times, it was not that the Haibei Army had asked the court, but that the court had asked the Haibei Army. Therefore, Wei Zhongxian clearly wanted to make a harsh words, but finally said: "If you continue to make such a fool of yourself, the court will punish the people and send troops to conquer the east..."

It was just that Wei Zhongxian wanted to speak harshly, but he felt it was not good to be so terrified, so he cleared his throat and said a few more words: "What's more, this is just Governor Liu's fault. The people of Shandong are good, and the soldiers of Haibei Town are also loyal to the court. We have to separate Haibei Town, the soldiers and civilians from Shandong from Governor Liu!"

But in Li Yongzhen's eyes, the whole lot of nonsense that Wei Zhongxian said was nothing. He immediately said: "Eunuch Wei is kind, and even Tieshi will be moved by Eunuch Wei's kindness, but he just indulged Governor Liu..."

"More or less, I still have to hit it!" Wei Zhongxian said immediately: "I notify the cabinet and the six ministries that all matters in Haibei Town must be handled impartially, and more people will be sent to Shandong!"

Li Yongzhen and Wang Tiqian have already understood that although Wei Zhongxian is powerful, he still dare not publicly turn against Haibei Town. In this case, both sides can only engage in underground wars, allowing Jinyiwei, Dongchang and the heroes of the martial arts world who defected to Wei Zhongxian, the Green Forest Man, the Green Forest Man, is the right way to take action.

But at this time, Li Yongzhen said something more: "I heard that the one whom Haibei Town hates the most is Liu Xingzuo's Xunan Town!"

Wei Zhongxian shook his head and said, "Recently, Liu Xingzuo was planning to build dozens of ancestral temples for me, so I underestimated him. But what you said makes sense. Xu Nan, the North and the West will inevitably be incompatible, but one is a tiger and the other is a hungry wolf. If this tiger and the wolf decide the outcome, the most harm will be the court!"

However, Wang Tigan added next to it: "It is best to fight for both sides, but the strength of Xu Nan in Haibei is too far different!"

It’s not just that there is a huge difference, but there is a world of difference. Haibei Town can solve Xunan Town by just sending a side army. However, Wei Zhongxian was worried about another thing: “If Haibei Town and Xunan Town merge, will it affect the canal transportation!”

The war between Haibei Town and Xunan Town was excellent news for the imperial court, but the problem is that once they started the war, the canal transport will definitely be greatly affected or even be suspended directly. The capital relies entirely on the canal transport. Once the rice, beans, gold, flowers and silver in the south of the Yangtze River were suspended, the Ming Dynasty's finances would collapse immediately.

But at this time, Li Yongzhen said confidently: "If the canal cannot leave, you can try shipping. I heard that the shipping fee is only a fraction of the canal!"

Since the abolition of maritime transportation and replacing canal transportation during the Yongle period, a huge interest class has formed along the canal. Their energy is amazing, and even the cabinet and six ministries are unable to restore maritime transportation. However, the eunuch party only focuses on economic benefits and is less affected by this interest group. Therefore, Li Yongzhen immediately proposed such a seemingly feasible plan.

Wei Zhongxian also knew that there had been suggestions for abolishing the grain and changing the sea for more than a hundred years, so he couldn't help but feel moved: "That's the case. Now the canal is almost under the control of Haibei Town, so we have to prepare!"

The reason why Wei Zhongxian did not dare to turn against Haibei Town was that Haibei Town actually controlled Yanzhou and naturally could cut off the canal at any time.

In the second year of Tianqi, the incense sect rebellion was only cut off the canal for dozens of days. The court was so anxious that it was furious. Moreover, with the military power of Haibei Town, they would be impossible to restore the canal transportation in a few months or even a few years. By then, the civil and military officials and millions of soldiers and civilians in the capital would starve to death.

However, Li Yongzhen proposed abolishing the grain and changing the sea, and proposed another plan to deal with Haibei Town, but Wei Zhongxian was still a little hesitant: "But there is a navy in Haibei Town!"

"The court also has a navy!" Wang Tigan was very rare to stand for Li Yongzhen: "Will the navy in the court be inferior to the navy in Haibei Town?"

"Yes, yes!" Li Yongzhen also agreed with Wang Tigan's opinion: "Even if the court does not have a navy, I heard that there is a hero named Zheng Zhilong on the Minhai, who has tens of thousands of Zhoushi under his command, and he is determined to serve the court!"

After hearing what they said, Wei Zhongxian was really a little moved. He asked Li Yongzhen again: "Can Xunan Town restrain Haibei Town?"

Li Yongzhen immediately replied: "It depends on how much support the court can give to Liu Xingzuo and Xu Nanzhen, and...

Li Yongzhen paused for a moment and expressed his opinion again: "Can the court recruit Zheng Zhilong? Now the officials of Fujian and Zhejiang are trying their best to kill Zheng Zhilong. Such a sea hero is not only unable to be used by the court, but also has caused the court to spend a lot of military, horse, money and food on him!"

Wei Zhongxian immediately asked, "Li Yongzhen, are you here as a lobbyist for Zheng Zhilong? Also, is Zheng Zhilong willing to be recruited?"
