Chapter 89 Wei Zhongxian feels heartbroken
The tree wants to be still but the wind doesn't stop.
The expression on Sun Shenxing's face was a little complicated. He seemed a little emotional, a little helpless, and more dissatisfied and indignant.
Turning his eyes to everyone, Sun Shenxing slowly asked: "What do you think about this matter?"
Everyone's faces were very ugly.
Gao Panlong said angrily: "This is cutting off our roots!"
Everyone was silent.
Of course everyone can see this, otherwise everyone wouldn't be silent.
Obviously this new situation caught everyone off guard.
But the question now is not to complain, but how to solve it?
"Luo Sigong, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, how could he be involved in this matter?" Zhao Nanxing, the Minister of Industry, said.
Everyone hesitated, and Sun Shenxing asked slowly: "I'm afraid he is colluding with Wei Zhongxian."
No one dares to say whether this guess is right or wrong.
It is normal to say that the guess is correct. Dongchang and Jinyiwei colluded with each other, which is not a strange thing in itself, not to mention that Dongchang and Jinyiwei did not collude once or twice.
If this is wrong, it is normal. Because Dongchang and Jinyiwei often have disagreements.
"The situation is unclear now, and we don't know why Jin Yiwei did this. But this is no longer important. What is important is what should we do?" Zhao Nanxing, the Minister of Industry, raised his head and said slowly.
"The Jin Yiwei sent this Chen Kedao to the palace. We all know what the consequences will be. This Chen Kedao is Li Zhi's disciple."
Everyone at the scene understood that orthodox disputes were never just words, and fighting would lead to death.
How did Li Zhi die? Who sitting here doesn’t know?
Once this Chen Kedao gains His Majesty's trust, then people like him will really be doomed.
What will be the consequences if the doctrine you believe in is denounced as heresy?
People like me once regarded Li Zhi's scholarship as heresy. Now once the other party takes power, how should we deal with it?
Maybe the other party won't kill him, just like he didn't kill them in the first place. But when he thinks that his people can't pass the imperial examination and can't be officials, and the officials will be dismissed and excluded by the other party, who can still sit still?
Everyone present felt a little guilty.
"What else could it be because of? It's nothing more than collusion to add insult to injury!" Gao Panlong said loudly on the side.
Everyone was silent, obviously what Gao Panlong said made sense.
Wei Zhongxian is now targeting the Donglin Party, and it is not unexpected for Jin Yiwei to get involved. Whether it is colluding with Wei Zhongxian, or adding insult to injury to people like himself, it is all reasonable.
"His Majesty is already dissatisfied with us. If he agrees with Chen Kedao's statement, then it will be useless for us to say anything." Sun Shenxing raised his head and said.
"On the one hand, we have to write a letter about this matter, and on the other hand, we have to make it clear to His Majesty. We should contact those who have lectured to His Majesty, and let His Majesty know that Li Zhi is a heretic. This matter is urgent, and we must seize the time to do it! It can be done
Sun Chengzong went to the palace to give it a try."
After listening to Sun Shenxing's words, everyone nodded slightly. That's all it has to be now.
Dongchang Prison.
Wei Zhongxian also received the news at this time.
Logically speaking, this should be something that makes him happy. But at this time, Wei Zhongxian was extremely upset. He felt that he had overlooked one thing, and that was Jin Yiwei and Chen Hong.
It can be said that I have been very effective in dealing with the Donglin Party these days. In the case being tried now, someone has already changed his story, and everyone's confessions point to joining the Party for personal gain.
People from the Supervisory Council said that their impeachment of Xiong Tingbi was under the instruction of Zou Yuanbiao, the censor of Zuodu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and Yang Lian was among them.
Since it was a clique for personal gain, naturally it could not be just these few people. The testimonies of others directly pointed to Zhao Nanxing and Gao Panlong, and some even pointed to Sun Shenxing, the Minister of Rites, calling him the big leader of the Donglin Party in the court.
It was Sun Shenxing who had made peace with Fang Congzhe, instigated him to give up his position as the first assistant scholar, and then stopped pursuing Fang Congzhe.
Now I'm just waiting to get all the confessions accurate and prepare the corresponding witnesses and physical evidence, so that I can report to the emperor and arrest all these people.
The imperially appointed major case of forming parties for personal gain can then be launched.
By then, he will definitely be in the limelight in front of the emperor, and he can also hook up some people in the court, and then he will definitely reach the top with all his strength.
From the beginning to the end, Wei Zhongxian did not take Jin Yiwei seriously, and there was nothing wrong with them.
As for Chen Hong in front of the emperor, Wei Zhongxian didn't take it seriously or take it seriously.
Although the emperor favored Chen Hong, he was not bad to him! The most critical problem was that Chen Hong could only wander around like a top in front of the emperor, and he could not stretch out his hands.
But things are different now. Others can't see that there is a problem here, but Wei Zhongxian can.
This incident was obviously caused by Jin Yiwei and Chen Hong.
In other words, Chen Hong and Jin Yiwei colluded together!
After these two forces colluded together, Jin Yiwei had internal support inside the palace, and Chen Hong had people working for him outside the palace. After these two people colluded together, it was no longer a matter of one plus one equals two.
Now the two of them have created another Chen Kedao, and Wei Zhongxian is even more unhappy.
Although Wei Zhongxian has not read any books, there is one thing he understands, that is, who the emperor uses is directly related to whose words the emperor believes.
This Chen Kedao is a civil servant, and he is not on the same side as those of the Donglin Party in the officialdom.
Once the emperor believes his words, then after the Donglin Party collapses, the people who take over those positions are likely to be people related to Chen Kedao.
At that time, Jin Yiwei and Chen Hong really reached out to the court.
What did you get?
I destroyed the Donglin Party, leaving a lot of empty seats in the court. In the end, I didn’t get any of them, they were all taken by Jin Yiwei and Chen Hong. How could I feel so embarrassed?
I did all the dirty work and took the blame. But the benefits were taken away by these two people.
How could Wei Zhongxian not be depressed?
I'm just so depressed, okay?
It's really insidious, why didn't I think of it before?
Wei Zhongxian was angry and upset at the same time.
Sun Yunhe, who was standing next to Wei Zhongxian, had a cautious expression on his face.
He still couldn't understand why his father-in-law had such an expression after hearing such news.
Seeing that Wei Zhongxian didn't mean to say anything, Sun Yunhe couldn't help but said cautiously: "Duke, is there something troubling?"
Looking up at Sun Yunhe, Wei Zhongxian's expression didn't look much better.
