Chapter 296 Minor ministers are inferior to ministers
Although Tang Binyin was the leader of the Xuan Party, the Xuan Party was the weakest among all the parties. This time, he was invited by Huang Yanshi of the Chu Party and came with a purpose. However, he did not have much contact with Jin Zhong and had almost no contact. He only knew that he was a grand ceremony in the inner court and was in charge of seal candidates. However, when the Xuan Party formed a party, he was mainly a censor and criticized the inner court, so he did not have much favor to Jin Zhong.
Naturally, he was just polite to Li Yongzhen, who represented Jin Zhong, because of Huang Yanshi. He looked at Li Yongzhen calmly, not understanding why Huang Yanshi said that the whereabouts of the young man were related to this eunuch. Could it be that the young man had entered the palace in vain?
If this is true, it would be a big pity. But everyone has their own ambitions. The young man did not want to study hard in the imperial examination and took shortcuts. It was his own choice. He would not be able to enter the Shilin in the future, but instead became a Shilin in the future. He was also blamed and could not blame others.
In fact, in terms of bad deeds, everyone present was the leader of the Xuan Party. He was the most unbearable. He was lustful by nature. When he was a juren in his early years, he took Xu, the wife of Shi Dade, the county's student, as his concubine. Xu refused to commit suicide. The unfairness in Hexian County caused a stir and a civil unrest, which scared Tang Binyin so much that it spent a lot of money to calm the matter down. Not long after, the lustful Juren Tang again occupied Xu's wife Jia as his concubine.
Xu was the brother of Xu Rilong, the nephew of the former Minister of Shangshu Xu Yuantai. Tang Bin was humiliated by Xu Yuantai when he was young, so he must take his nephew and wife as his concubine to avenge this shame. Tang Bin Yin had a lot of power in the county, and Xu and the Jia brothers dared not make any strange words. After Xu Rilong knew about it, he was very upset, so he controlled the visits. As a result, Tang Bin Yin was so arrogant that he wanted to get Rilong and be content. As a last resort, Xu Rilong had to flee to Yanqi.
As soon as this incident happened, the county was in full swing. The local patrol wanted to punish him, but Tang Binyin was frightened and asked the scholar Xiong Tingbi to help him in the same year. As a result, Xiong Tingbi pleaded for him and then pressed the matter down. As a result, Tang Binyin and Xiong Tingbi became close friends. Of course, neither Tang Binyin nor Xiong Tingbi had ever told outsiders about the inside story. Therefore, Guan Yingzhen just heard that Tang Binyin was actually a good friend of Xiong Tingbi, and was very curious and puzzled.
At this time, Guan Yingzhen was also very surprised. He and Tang Binyin thought together, and they all thought that Wei Liangchen had actually gone to the inner court and had just taken off the Shilin and entered the palace to serve. Otherwise, why would it have something to do with Li Yongzhen?
Li Pu didn't think much about it, just waited for Eunuch Li to explain.
Li Yongzhen did not keep his cover and said immediately: "The head of Wei appointed his Majesty as the clerk of Wenhua Palace. He is now on the throne's will to cooperate in the money, grain and arrears."
"He? The servant of Wenhua Palace?" Guan Yingzhen didn't know how to say that, because this fact was too strange and too incredible.
A person who handed in the blank paper was ordered by the head of the case and was given the title of Wenhua Palace by the emperor. This matter sounds really unbelievable.
If it weren't for Li Yongzhen's words, if the current emperors did like to serve as officials in a nonsense, Li Pu and Tang Binyin wouldn't believe it.
"In this way, Eunuch Li is quite familiar with Wei Liangchen?"
Guan Yingzhen recalled how the boy did it and ignored it. What he cared about was why Li Yongzhen knew so much. And what did Jin Zhong, behind Li Yongzhen, play in it?
Li Yongzhen didn't comment and just smiled slightly.
Guan Yingzhen nodded, looked at his friend Huang Yanshi, and roughly understood the joint here. It was easy to straighten it out. Huang Yanshi said just now that the young man's white scroll fell into the hands of Concubine Zheng, and Jin Zhong was the one who supported the imperial concubine in the Sili Prison. In this way, it showed that the young man had the help of Concubine and Jin Zhong to have this incredible existence now.
Now, Guan Yingzhen’s biggest curiosity is what was worthy of the attention of the young man’s white scroll.
Li Pu remembered something and said on the side: "Eunuch Li said this, I remember that the military changes in the closing of the door a few months ago. It was rumored that His Majesty sent a sect to comfort the morale of the army. Could it be this Wei Liangchen?"
"Yes, it's him." Li Yongzhen nodded.
"This is a fun thing."
Li Pu laughed. He was a member of the Qi Party and was blocked by Donglin in his early career, so he had no disgust towards Concubine Zheng, who was evil in Donglin.
Friends are friends, and enemies are also friends.
Li Pu was very open about this.
At present, the Donglin Party is in great power, and no party can fight alone. In terms of the current situation, if the parties continue to divide, it will inevitably cause Donglin to eat no bone residue. Therefore, unity is inevitable. Only when the Qi, Chu, Zhejiang, Xuankun digital parties unite can they control the huge Donglin.
The whole party supports the union of all parties, and Li Pu comes today for the sake of union.
"Not to mention Wei Liangchen, I invite you to come today, not for his own sake, but for the sake of relaxation." Huang Yanshi, as the invitational, was not in a hurry. He stood up and pointed at the river embankment, and asked everyone with a smile: "Let's walk along the embankment?"
"Okay, let's go."
Guan Yingzhen had no objection, and no one opposed it at the moment, so the five of them took a walk along the dike by the Jinxiu River. Along the way, Huang Yanshi looked for some interesting things from time to time to say that Tang Binyin and Li Yongzhen were both good at speaking, but the few of them had a good conversation. Guan Yingzhen had something in his mind, so he didn't talk much, and only occasionally smiled and agreed with a few words.
When he reached a beautiful embankment with trees and looked at the water scene in the distance, Li Pu suddenly said to Li Yongzhen with emotion: "Thanks to Eunuch Jin's several times to deal with the emperor, my appointment as the Guanglu Temple Chief was implemented, otherwise I would not know how many changes would happen."
Li Pu felt this emotion, but it was true.
As we all know, since the dispute over the foundation of the country, today I have been fond of tyrants, which has led to the inability to be appointed by many officials in the yamen. There is even a strange case that a censor was not allowed to return to Beijing for more than ten years. If Jin Zhong had not fought hard in front of the imperial court that day, the appointments of Li Pu's thirteen officials would have been unable to be implemented, so Li Pu would definitely be grateful to Jin Zhong.
After hearing this, Li Yongzhen smiled and said nothing.
Huang Yanshi interrupted, "Brother Li, I heard that as soon as you took office, a mountain man named Wang Wenyan wanted to ask for a small job from you, but you were reprimanded?"
This matter was his proud stroke after taking office. When Huang Yanshi mentioned this matter in front of everyone, Li Pu couldn't help but feel proud, smiled slightly, and said, "It's true that Wang Wenyan has turned around and defected to Wang An of the Eastern Palace. It can be seen that this person is a real villain, so it's worth my reprimanding."
"Brother Li is upright. The mountain people in the capital are all trying to make a fuss and tricks. They are looking for ways to make a fortune and develop in one day. They should scold them!" Guan Yingzhen, who has not spoken much, sincerely praised him. He really disliked those mountain people and wanderings.
However, Li Yongzhen thought that Jin Zhong had told him that Wei Liangchen had asked for the position of shepherd to offend the late Chen Ju and Wang An of the Eastern Palace. Wang An originally wanted to plan the position of shepherd to be a shepherd for this Wanderer named Wang Wenyan.
Everyone walked away for a moment and stopped in front of a turntable. At this time, the snowflakes were no longer falling. Looking from the distance along the river, there was a layer of white veil.
"Have you heard that Zhang Heming and others jointly impeached Li Chengliang?" Huang Yanshi suddenly said.
Guan Yingzhen nodded and said, "This matter is known to everyone, who doesn't know in the capital?" His eyes turned to Tang Binyin: "I wonder what Brother Huolin has to think about this matter?"
Tang Binyin pondered slightly and said, "This is a matter from the court. I am not a good person. I can't say that I really want to see you. I'd better listen to you."
Hearing what he said, Guan Yingzhen looked unhappy and said lightly: "Brother Huolin is modest."
When Huang Yanshi saw this, he shook his head secretly, and was quite dissatisfied with Tang Binyin's attitude. Although this person is the leader of the Xuan Party, he has a subtle character. If it weren't for some power of the Xuan Party, he wouldn't have invited him to come. However, looking at this person's attitude, he was always irrelevant, but he didn't know what he was doing. Li Yongzhen and Li Pu each had their own thoughts and pretended not to know, and both laughed but didn't say anything.
"Brother Li, where are you?" Guan Yingzhen asked Li Pu again.
Li Pu smiled bitterly and said to himself: "Don't ask me, brother, you know that I am just a mere Guanglu Temple Chief, so how can I ask about this important matter of the court?"
Upon hearing this, Guan Yingzhen stopped asking, and turned his eyes to Huang Yanshi behind him: "Amima, what's going on in the Censorate?"
"If Li Chengliang's affairs are true, we should support it!" Huang Yanshi's attitude was very clear. In this matter, the parties should actually unite to form a censorship. Because overthrowing Li Chengliang is an indirect blow to the Donglin Party.
After hearing this, Tang Binyin nodded and said, "There have always been a trend for science. I also feel that Li Chengliang has been in charge of Liaodong for decades and has repeatedly committed acts of wrongful acts. He should be impeached, so that the world can see his true face clearly."
"It's a pity that Master Ye wants to protect him." Li Pu shook his head. Although Zhang Heming and his friends played the seal with great momentum, the cabinet was pressing down, and there was no movement in the palace, so the tiger was too hard to beat, and it was still unknown.
"Although the Fuqing Gong is a member of the Donglin Party, he always mediates everywhere when something happens. He does not want Donglin to break up with our three parties. That will affect the direct ministers in the court. Speaking of this, Tang Binyin paused, "But looking at the Fuqing Gong's actions in the cabinet and vigorously promotes the addition of cabinet ministers, he is very reserved for other matters of concern to the court, and he is unwilling to come forward, for fear that His Majesty will not be able to get through, and he has used too much mental skills."
Li Pu is straightforward, and he doesn't agree with Tang Binyin's statement. As soon as Tang finished speaking, he said disdainfully: "It's not that he has used too much mental skills. I think he is just a wise man! To put it nicely, it's a steady person, but not nicely, it's both ends of snakes and rats! I think what Mr. Ye Ge did is entirely for his Donglin family."
