Chapter 163 To break the Zhejiang Party, first punish Wei Yi
The person who said this was the Censor Fang Kezhuang. He had had a close relationship with Zuo Guangdou in the Censorate and was praised as "impeaching evil spirits and spared no effort." It is said that he had already conducted an operation within the party and went on a tour of the salt administration in Lianghuai. When the salt administration returned, the Ministry of Personnel recommended him to the position of Henan governor, which was also considered a success.
"There is still this?"
Yang Lian's friend, Miao Changqi, the Hanlin Academy's Shuji Shi, stood up in shock, "Yang Chu, why haven't I heard of this?"
Fang Kezhuang said: "It is of great importance, and the Ministry of Rites dare not believe it, so he has to send someone to investigate."
"Is this matter true or not?" Xiong Mingyu was also shocked. If the matter was true, then Wei Yi was even more domineering and arrogant than Wang Zhen and Liu Jin of the previous dynasty.
"When there is no falsehood, the Korean envoy came across the sea by fishing boat, almost drowned on the way, and did not dare to reveal his identity. He turned into beggars and went to the capital. If it weren't for the great injustice, why would the envoys of a country be so degraded?" Fang Kezhuang said sympathetically.
Miao Changqi was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion: "Why do you want to cross the sea? North Korea is connected to my country's flood road, so why should the envoys go to the sea?"
"I don't know the specifics. The news revealed by the Ministry of Rites said that Wei Yi made his minions block the information, and he also spread the nets on the sea, so he would not allow North Korean boats to pass through at all. I guess Wei Yi was so busy that he did not let the court know what happened there, which caused the court to be angry."
Fang Kezhuang guessed it all the time, and the truth was indeed the case.
"The law is vast and unrestricted, and it is not missed. After Wei Yin and his subordinates did such a great rebellion, what else should the Ministry of Rites investigate? Why don't you report to the emperor quickly!"
Yang Lian's beard was curled up. He was known as the "beautiful bearded man" and his long beard looked very beautiful.
Fang Kezhuang knew that Yang Lian was impatient, and smiled bitterly when he saw this, "Dahong, don't be anxious. This matter is of great importance after all, and it is too horrifying. It is also necessary for the Ministry of Rites to be cautious. What if the envoy said is not true, wouldn't it be called Wei Yin to bite him back?"
Zuo Guangdou, who had never spoken, snorted: "I think this matter is probably true. Do you still remember the old things in Annan back then?"
During the reign of Emperor Jianwen, Annan Prime Minister Hu Hancang wrote to Chengzu with the title of power to govern Annan's national affairs, falsely claiming that the descendants of the Chen Dynasty were extinct and claimed that they were the nephew of the Chen Dynasty emperor. They were praised by their ministers and requested to be named King Annan.
Chengzu doubted its authenticity and sent envoys to Qinghua to investigate, but Hu Hancang summoned the ministers of Annan to write a letter to Chengzu. In the end, Chengzu named Hu Hancang the king of Annan. The edict also warned Hu Hancang: "If you do good deeds and surrender to Xiang, you will be very righteous, and you will be very grateful to the people. If you go to Xin, you will be sincere."
However, not long after, an Annan man named Chen Tianping entered the Ming Dynasty from Ailao, claiming to be the son of Chen Yizong, and informed Chengzu of Hu Jiyu's usurpation of the throne. Chengzu sent the censor Li Qi to Annan to investigate the matter. Hu Jiyu was afraid of being discovered, so he sent someone to chase Li Qi. Li Qi successfully fled back to the Ming Dynasty and told Chengzu all of them, which aroused Chengzu's anger, and sent a large army to expedition to Annan, and later established the Annan Administrative Office to take charge of its land.
Zuo Guangdou was about forty years old, similar to Yang Lian, but not as straightforward as Yang Lian, and his behavior seemed much more calm. He obviously believed that the Korean envoy who came across the sea, like Na Annan Chen Tianping, had risked his life-and-death risk to tell the court the truth. Therefore, things would not be false.
"Yes, that's it. We should immediately write a letter to expose this matter and give North Korea justice!" Yang Lian was so proud of Zuo Guangdou. Seeing that he also thought the matter was true, he slapped the table again and wanted to write a memorial and send it to Tongzheng Department immediately.
Fang Kezhuang said, "Dahong, even if this matter is true, the Ministry of Rites can only write a letter to impeach him after the Ministry of Rites has found out. It is inappropriate to write a letter to him now."
"Why is it inappropriate? The letter now is the best opportunity for all the officials to defeat the three-party alliance, how can they miss it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Wenyan entered the room and bowed to Yang Lian and others. A couplet was hanging on the wall facing him. The first couplet said, "The salary is low and frugal, and the second couplet said, "The official is low and the self-esteem."
Several people in the room knew Wang Wenyan, and some didn't. They looked at him and were curious, not knowing why this person said what he said just now.
"Why do you say that?"
Yang Lian looked at Wang Wenyan. He could not be familiar with this person or was intimate. He only knew that this person was a private minister of the King of the East Palace. He had been contacting Donglin privately for the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the previous servant came with this person's post, but he didn't think much about it, and only thought that there was something wrong with the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the
"You all know that this is the best opportunity to defeat the three-party alliance!"
Wang Wenyan was very loud, but he was secretly happy. He had originally thought about how to convince these upstarts in Donglin, but now he doesn't need to worry about anything else.
"Who is this person's origin?"
Xiong Mingyu, who didn't know Wang Wenyan's background, asked Zuo Guangdou in a low voice. After Zuo Guangdou told him, he stood up and looked at Wang Wenyan and said, "I heard that you, Wang Wenyan, are very capable, and you are full of things in Beijing. Let's talk about why it is a good opportunity to defeat the three parties now?"
Wang Wenyan owed her body and said to everyone: "Don't you, now the treacherous parties such as Qi, Chu, Zhejiang are now embracing each other, and they always say that the ministers in the court are 'Donglin' and that they must be expelled... Although I, Donglin, don't care about them, over time, it will inevitably increase the morale of the night and the prestige of me. Therefore, Wang has been thinking about how to break the three-party alliance, and keep the court clean and the world understand."
"You pick up what's important."
Xiong Mingyu learned from Zuo Guangdou that Wang Wenyan was just a private official of the King of the Eastern Palace and had no official status, so he looked down on him.
Wang Wenyan nodded quickly and continued, "My Dukes, Wang has thought about this matter repeatedly. Among the three parties, the Zhejiang Party is the most powerful, and the enemy between Zhejiang Party and our Donglin was formed when Shen Yiguan was the chief minister... The Zhejiang Party was determined to wipe out our Donglin, and the two parties of Qi and Chu shared their hatred for the enemy. In order to avenge the hatred of the Xinhai Campaign, they formed an alliance, which made our Donglin be subject to restraint everywhere and had to endure and give in..."
Wang Wenyan talked freely, but when it comes to Donglin, he must be "My Donglin", he inadvertently linked him with the upstarts of Donglin present, which is quite smart.
Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou and others agree with Wang Wenyan's analysis because this is a fact.
Seeing Yang Lian’s eyes bright and waiting for his next article with interest, Wang Wenyan continued to preach. This time he threw out a horrifying fact, and he said: “My husband, Wang is sure that it won’t take long, and this court will probably become the Zhejiang Party again!”
"How can I see it?"
Fang Kezhuang did not agree with Wang Wenyan's statement. Although the three parties formed a league in the court, it was still unacceptable to say that the Zhejiang Party would dominate one.
The other people were also erotic.
Wang Wenyan said: "Because of one person."
Zuo Guangdou said in a deep voice: "Who is it?"
"It was the auxiliary Fang Congzhe that time..."
Wang Wenyan looks like a temple in her heart, "Fang Congzhe is a Zhejiang Party, and he is a bird of a feather with Shen Yiguan. He must have wanted to monopolize the power. The so-called "who can't let others sleep soundly on the side of the bed..."
"If Fang Congzhe wants to control the cabinet, he must pass my mentor's level first." Miao Changqi shook his head, looking disapproving.
Wang Wenyan said, "I heard that Mr. Fuqing has submitted dozens of memorials to Your Majesty to retire from you this year. Although Your Majesty has not been approved, based on Mr. Fuqing's temper, I am afraid that I will eventually learn from Mr. Zhu in the temple. By then, this side Congzheke will be the chief assistant."
"this..."
Everyone, including Miao Changqi, was stunned. Yes, Your Majesty did not allow Mr. Fuqing to retire, but who can guarantee that Mr. Fuqing would not leave?
"Everyone, if Fang Congzhe became the chief assistant, how would he treat me Donglin? You think you should be expected... Therefore, Wang begged you not to sit still and wait for death, and you must take the initiative to stop Fang Congzhe's chief assistant's idea."
"rational!"
Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou and others nodded after hearing this. They still couldn't figure out why the chief minister Ye Xianggao wanted to introduce Fang Congzhe from the Zhejiang Party to the cabinet, and he has been resigning since this year. Isn't this introducing the wolf into the room and sending the child to the wolf's mouth?
As Ye Xianggao's student, Miao Changqi was also confused by his teacher's actions.
"According to you, how can you stop Fang Congzhe's thoughts?" Zuo Guangdou had already stood up.
"If you want to destroy the three parties, you will be the first to attack the Zhejiang Party. The Zhejiang Party has a fatal point at the moment. As long as you are staring at the fatal point of the Zhejiang Party, your Majesty will be furious, and Congzhe will not think about the master's cabinet." Wang Wenyan said.
Yang Lian's eyes moved: "What's this fatal?"
"It's the Wei eunuch that the ministers just mentioned!"
Wang Wenyan bowed to Yang Lian, "Wang heard that Shen Yiguan had given His Majesty a secret disclosure. Since then, the two provinces in the southeast of Zhejiang and Fujian have not been allowed to send troops to the east. This matter was caused by Wei Yin's false maritime affairs, so Wang predicted that the Zhejiang Party would conspire with Wei Yin. This Wei Yin is the fatal point of breaking the Zhejiang Party and the fuse to break the three-party alliance!"
Speaking of this, he paused and said in a bit of indignation: "In the more than two hundred years since the founding of the country, there has never been an act of Uchiji Temple to block the vassals, and he has privately transferred his own troops to raise troops and provoke them. He also made friends with ministers in the court. This is a crime of a tyrant and a great rebellion!"
"Brother Gong, what do you think?"
Yang Lian's eyes flashed and he stared at Zuo Guangdou.
Wang Wenyan is also looking forward to it. He heard Yu Youli say that Zuo Guangdou is extremely decisive in his work and the words are very refreshing. Whenever there is something in the court, the Donglin Party members of the Censorate will recommend Zuo Guangdou to report the matter or entrust him to go to the scene in person. This person is another leader in the Donglin Party except Yang Lian. If Wang Wenyan can become Yang and the Zuo two become friends at the same time, they will be able to borrow Yang in the future and influence the entire Donglin Party.
"Brother Wang said it right. Wei Yi is indeed the fatal part of the Zhejiang Party. Humph, the Zhejiang Party and the Yin Temple colluded with each other to corrupt the national laws and regulations, and their ill-behavior is obvious!"
Zuo Guangdou stepped forward and held Wang Wenyan's hand, praising: "If Brother Wang hadn't woken up, I would have been waiting for death."
"Eliminating the treacherous party and abolishing villains is a matter of our generation." Wang Wenyan was excited, but she dared not show it on her face.
