"Chi yo yo..." The slender wine string fell evenly from the wine bottle and accurately fell into the Mubang jade wine glass that had just been launched.

"Huh~~" After finishing the drink, Li San took a breath, and then said to his most trusted butler Li Xiang: "Tomorrow you go to Wuxi and tell Gu Xiancheng that Taisun and Li Ruzhang have been keeping a close eye on them lately.

, it will take some time to collect the funds and so on.”

"Yes, little one, take the order."

"No need to be restrained, sit down and have a drink with me. Although we are called masters and servants, you have been by my side since I was twelve years old. All my affairs are left to you when it is inconvenient for me to come out. Okay.

Say, you are the one I trust most."

"Haha." Li Xiang didn't hesitate after hearing this, and sat down directly facing Li Sancai: "Master, it is said that the Xu family has cut off Donglin's money. If we cut off again, then Donglin's

Newspapers are just..."

"Hey, I can't control these idiots from Donglin! From Zou Yuanbiao and Zhao Nanxing to now Gu Xiancheng, Gao Panlong and others, except for this and that, how can anyone have the ability to do practical things?

In the past, it was appropriate for these guys who could only sing high-pitched words but not do practical things to publish some empty talk in Wuxi Gogao Academy. But they are so dizzy that they actually publish newspapers? Hey, if you don't do things, you won't make mistakes. Once you do something, you will make mistakes.

It’s possible that this time, these idiots from Donglin fell into Taisun’s trap!”

"Hehe." After picking up the jug and pouring himself a glass, Li Xiang said: "Those gentlemen in Donglin may be attacked by Taisun once they do something practical. This young man knows it very well. But Taisun runs a newspaper.

, to capture public opinion. How can those gentry in Jiangnan tolerate this situation? Even if you don’t want to go to Donglin Academy, you have to go to Donglin Academy... But sir, Ye Xianggao is the only one in the cabinet now. If we cut off Donglin Academy

The amount of money, Dong Lin was missing to cheer for the master when it came to joining the cabinet..."

"I thought the same way before, so Gu Xiancheng asked me for money, and I gave it to him. But now it seems that's not the case anymore."

"Please let me clarify my doubts."

"Chi Liu." After drinking another glass of wine, Li Sancai said with a smile: "Although Shen Yiguan has become an official, the Zhejiang Party still has a certain power in the government. They definitely don't want me to join the cabinet, so during this period, for

I have been impeached all the time. Sir, I used to think that I would rely on Donglin’s censor to fight against the Zhejiang Party, so that I could successfully enter the cabinet. That’s why I moved closer to Donglin. But now, the emperor is targeting me, sir.

I will leave all the impeachments unpunished and let the Donglin people defend me. What is this? This is just trying to lure the snake out of its hole to see how much power Donglin has in the government!"

"Well, there are too many people in the court defending the master, so the emperor is afraid."

"Yes! I have so many party members before I join the cabinet. What if I join the cabinet? So, Dong Lin, a group of guys who have little success but more than failure, the more they make trouble, the more chance I have of joining the cabinet.

The smaller!”

"But Master, you are not the real Donglin Party!"

"Hmph! Who wants to be part of a group of losers who can only sing high-pitched words but have no ability to do practical things? But what can be done?" Li Sancai spread his hands helplessly: "My ancestral home is in Shaanxi, where there are few scholars every year.

Not to mention pitiful, most of them are top three and Jinshi. These guys can't help at all in the court. The Zhejiang Party, the Qi Party, the Chu Party... have you ever heard of the Qin Party? As for me, I later moved to Beizhili, Beizhili

Those scholars who serve here do not regard the master as one of their own. Speaking of which, if we had not become the governor of water transportation in these years and had the help of the Huaiyang merchant gang, our lives might not have been easy."

"So the master has no choice but to make peace with Dong Lin, who seems to have no regard for geography or nostalgia."

"That's right. But now it seems that Donglin is unreliable. Not only is it unreliable, he may also get us involved."

"Hiss~ Is my grandson really that powerful? Master, we are not the same as the useless Xu family."

"Hey, you have been following me for so many years, and you know all the powerful people coming and going from the imperial court. Have you ever seen someone as unruly as Taisun?"

"This... it really doesn't happen. But if you mess around like Taisun, won't it trigger a civil uprising sooner or later, and then go back to Beijing in despair?"

"Hahaha, you, you are still thinking about the problem with the same old thinking." After reaching out and tapping Li Xiang, Li Sancai also sighed: "But let's not talk about you, even the master I used to look down on.

Taisun, many issues have only been figured out recently.”

"Please sir, please explain in more detail."

"Well, let's put it this way." Li Sancai thought for a while and said: "I won't talk about the vision when my great-grandson was born. I just said that my great-grandson had cowpox and promoted potatoes, sweet potatoes and corn. These things made ordinary royal officials

Impeachment, which was unprecedented in history, has lost its effect. Therefore, when Taisun comes to Jiangnan, even if he does some extraordinary things, he is not afraid of impeachment. Since Taisun is not afraid of impeachment, then we must drive Taisun back to Beijing or even

The only way to destroy it is to trigger a popular uprising in Jiangnan.

However, after the grandson came to Nanjing, although he went to the Huangceku first, he did not rectify the Huangce, and he did not allow any additional dispatches to the various ministries in Nanjing. In this way, the Jiangnan gentry did not take this as an opportunity to trigger a civil uprising.

Moreover, why is it so easy for these bastards in Jiangnan to trigger a civil uprising? Because they or someone in their family has been a Jinshi or an official. People everywhere naturally believe them in their interpretation of various imperial decrees. As long as the imperial decrees

If it doesn't suit their wishes, they can distort the meaning and inspire people everywhere to attack the government."

"Now that I'm talking about this, I understand a little bit. After Taisun came to Nanjing, he immediately launched the Jinling Daily. As the newspaper's circulation becomes wider and wider, it will not be easy for the gentry everywhere to control the people."

"That's why Donglin wanted to run a newspaper to compete with Taisun for public opinion."

"But those idiots in Donglin have no ability to do anything..."

"Yes." Li Sancai pulled his beard tightly: "You and I have been masters and servants for decades, and you have followed me to work in various places. You should know that it is not easy to do something well.

.These idiots from Donglin have never done anything specific before, and they are so new when they get started, how can they not be defeated?"

"Well, in the past, Donglin didn't do anything, and would do this and that every day, and there was nothing others could do to them. Now that he fails so miserably whenever he does something, Donglin's reputation is ruined."

"That's right!" After clapping his hands, Li Sancai said: "What did Donglin rely on before? Wasn't it just the reputation he fought against the emperor in the dispute over the country's foundation and the collection of mining taxes? Now the country's foundation is

The dispute is over, the emperor has the financial support of his grandson, and he is no longer as greedy as before in collecting mining taxes. What is the use of clearing his name? Not to mention that he is about to bear the impression that he cannot do anything and is not useful.

Sir, I understand now that the controversy over the selection of cabinet ministers in the imperial court started when Nian Shen and Shen Li took office at the same time. It has been two years now and still cannot be decided. These losers really can't do anything practical!

"

At this point, Li Sancai's meaning is already very clear: Since you Donglin guys can't help me get the position of Pavilion Elder, then why should I support you? Not to mention that because of your relationship, the emperor and

My grandson has already started to focus on me! Am I alone? No! The Huaiyang merchant gang behind me is also very powerful! If it is because I am still in alliance with your Donglin Party, my grandson will turn his attention away from Jiangnan

If the gentry turns away from the Huaiyang merchant gang, I'm afraid the whole family will die suddenly, right?

"Thank you, sir, for clarifying my doubts. I understand it completely. I will leave tomorrow for Wuxi... um... um... lord!"

"Hehehe... Li Xiang, you have followed me for so many years, don't you know what kind of person I am? Don't you know that this wine bottle has a type called Yin Yang grid? Speaking of which, you used to use such a wine bottle to help me.

Have you ever killed someone?"

"You... you are so cruel! I have been working for you for so many years... ugh..."

"Do you understand? It's because you have been working for me for so many years and know too many things about me. Therefore, when I am ready to change my family, I must capture you! After all, Donglin Academy will be miserable this time.

, but as long as the Jiangnan gentry is still there, the Donglin Party will not die. After the master changes his family, Donglin’s revenge will definitely come, and you are the best breakthrough... In short, the only people who can best keep secrets in this world are dead people

!You can go with peace of mind, I will take good care of your wife and children. Hahahaha~~~"
