There is a big man living in Willowtiao Lane in Xibianmen. He was appointed as the censor for nine years and was called "this man dared to speak out and be resentful" by His Majesty. He also wrote his name on Ying Zhen, the leader of the Chu Party, who wrote his name on the screen.

After he strongly advocated the major alliance of all parties and attacked Donglin Li Sancai in one fell swoop, Guan Yingzhen actually became interested in resigning because he was over 50 years old and had not agreed to his Majesty for many resignations. He has remained in office until now.

Recently, because His Majesty was seriously ill, the East Palace asked about politics and the personal army forced the city, Guan Yingzhen said he could not get out of ill recently. First of all, he was afraid that the East Palace would suspect him, the leader of the Chu Party. After all, Donglin was behind the East Palace, and in Donglin's eyes, his Chu Party was an unforgivable treacherous party.

Secondly, it was because the Chu Party had something to do with Wei Liangchen, the eunuch of the personal army, that time, and somehow, the Chu Party did not know whether the personal army "forced the city" this time was to subvert the foundation of the country. Guan Yingzhen wanted to avoid suspicion, so as not to subvert the foundation of the country after the personal army entered the city. People all over the world thought that the Chu Party had made efforts in it.

However, the tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop.

In the evening, guests came to Guan Yingzhen's mansion, but it was Ruan Dacheng, a pedestrian who had just passed the Jinshi last year.

As soon as Ruan Dacheng came, he explained his purpose, saying that he was entrusted by his personal military admiral, eunuch Wei Liangchen, and came to discuss the court after the reform with the leader of the Chu party.

Ruan Dacheng's words were almost provoked by Mingming's personal generals outside the city to enter the city. This shocked Guan Yingshi, but he also felt that it was inevitable. If the troops did not enter the city, how could they talk about reform?

However, after the leader of the Chu Party was silent, he said: "You can ask the Eastern Palace about the affairs of the government." He meant that no matter whether the personal army was in reform or not, the foundation of the country would not be moved, and the Chu Party would never support any act of subverting the foundation of the country.

Ruan Dacheng walked closer: "The East Palace is something to ask, but the Chu Party must also have a position."

"The Chu Party's position has always been consistent."

Guan Yingzhen was vague, but his attitude was firm.

Ruan Dacheng knew that he could not force the leader of the Chu Party to make further guarantees, but as long as the Chu Party did not oppose the reform, he said goodbye immediately.

.........

Zhang Cheng's private house in Erzhao Hutong, more than ten miles away, also came to the lobbyist, but Li Yongzhen, one of the four major divisions in the East Factory.

"The matter of reform is already like an arrow on the string and has to be launched. The current situation is not something that Eunuch Wei can decide if he does not want to do anything."

Li Yongzhen said everything he should say, and now it depends on how the man in front of him made a decision.

"Our family is old, and we can't stand the turmoil, nor can we resist the turmoil... When something suddenly happens, our family... we won't say anything."

After saying that, Zhang Cheng picked up the tea bowl, which meant to send off the guests.

Li Yongzhen knew it in his mind. After coming out from Zhang Cheng, he did not go back, but asked Fanzi to drive to the Duke Dingguo Mansion in Gongzi Factory.

The Duke of Ding was also the King of Zhongshan Xu Da, but it was different from the Duke of Wei in Nanjing. The Duke of Ding supported Chengzu's Jingnan back then.

Today, Duke Ding is Xu Xi, the tenth-generation grandson of the King of Zhongshan, and the grandson of Xu Wenbi, the previous Duke Ding Guo, and was awarded the title of the 30th year of Wanli.

The reason why Li Yongzhen came to visit Xu Xi was because the Duke Dingguo Mansion was highly valued by His Majesty in this dynasty and had always been in charge of the governor of the rear army.

Secondly, because the Duke Dingguo Mansion is also a meritorious minister in the capital so far, and the only meritorious minister who has not expressed any opinions on the Ding Bureau.

Specifically, Xu Xi did not clearly state that he had "embrace Zheng" or "anti-Zheng".

The "Embrace Zheng" faction will not be a big deal for Li Yongzhen to visit each other again. The same is true for the "anti-Zheng" faction, but this uncle's mansion with unknown attitude requires Li Yongzhen to come here specially.

If two of the three major nationals can support the "reformation", the bargaining chips and weight of the reform will undoubtedly increase.

As Duke Ding, Xu Xi must have known about Li Yongzhen's background and who he is doing business for now. Therefore, Mr. Xu did not need to speak to understand what the other party meant when he visited this big boss of the East Factory.

However, the cunning Duke Xu did not give Li Yongzhen a chance to explain his purpose, but instead said before he spoke: "I don't want to hear what you want to say. The only thing I want to tell you is that I don't want to cause any trouble, nor do I want to offend anyone."

These words made Li Yongzhen unable to say a word that he had thought of in his heart. He also understood the reason why Jiang was still so old. However, Li Yongzhen did not say goodbye, but smiled slightly and said, "Since that's the case, our family won't say much to the Duke. However, after the personal army enters the city, some military expenditure will be needed, otherwise the personal army will not be paid to cause trouble."

"Enter the city?"

Xu Xi's eyelids twitched and he looked at Li Yongzhen with a serious face. The latter was very calm and confident.

After a while, Xu Xiwei spoke slowly, but she cried and became poor, saying that he should not see that he was a Duke, but the Duke's Mansion was also poor. Li Yongzhen just listened so and didn't speak.

The two are having a psychological contest.

Finally, perhaps due to the influence of the personal army entering the city, Xu Xi's attitude was relaxed and he asked: "How much do you want?"

"One hundred thousand taels."

Li Yongzhen opened a number, and Xu Xi frowned immediately.

"If there wasn't so much, 80,000 taels would be fine." Li Yongzhen said, signaling the monk behind him to put the things he had prepared on the table beside Xu Xi.

"What?"

Mr. Xu looked at it curiously, but found that it was a long-written banner with a letter written on it - "Respecting the emperor and seeking traitors, every man is responsible."

"this?"

Mr. Xu wanted to say these words in his heart that he would type 80,000 taels of me, but the words turned to him: "There won't be any trouble, right?"

"If it weren't for this, the Duke's mansion would probably be even more trouble." Li Yongzhen looked at Duke Ding with deep meaning.

Xu Xi pondered for a while and knew that the Eunuch Li, who represented Wei Yin, was threatening him in disguise, but when he thought of the tiger and wolf soldiers outside the city, the Duke still surrendered.

"Eighty thousand taels are too much. I can't afford it at the moment in my house. It's better than 50,000 taels. I will even sell it for you."

Mr. Xu looked embarrassed.

Fortunately, the other party did not force him anymore, but agreed readily, then sat down and drank some tea, and disappeared into the night with the 50,000 taels of silver bills collected by Duke Dingguo.

"Master, it's really a reform. We will not be called a traitor again, right?"

The wife of Dingguo Duke still loves learning and is very concerned about the dynamics of the capital. The recent issue of the "Huangming Daily" has not fallen out.

"It shouldn't be anymore. We are not arrogant and privileged chaebols."

Mr. Xu slapped his long beard and changed to a few words. He felt really distressed. Then he ordered the door to be closed and the sky was not allowed to open it.

"Master, then this?"

The Duke's wife held the banner of the emperor's pursuit of traitor. I wonder if she wanted to hang it or not.
