I am the carpenter king

() Forbidden City, Qianqing Palace, Imperial Study Room.

The sun had already set, and the dark night enveloped Emperor Tianqi's bedroom. Emperor Tianqi, who was about to rest, was called up, and came to the front of the imperial study. .

Looking at Luo Sigong and Wei Chao who were saluting to him, Emperor Tianqi frowned slightly. It was rare for these two people to come over so neatly. It seemed that something really happened this time.

"Get up!" Waving to the two, Emperor Tianqi continued: "What are you two doing here so late? Why do you want to talk today?"

"Your Majesty, the news that the spies of the East Factory have just obtained is of great importance, and the servants dare not delay and come to play immediately." Wei Chao ignored the furious Luo Sigong, and said with a smile, just looking at Luo Sigong with a look in his eyes. With a strong provocative meaning.

"Luo Aiqing, what about you?" Emperor Tianqi turned his gaze to Luo Sigong, and he naturally saw Wei Chao's eyes. He thought that the news they both heard should be the same this time, but he didn't know whose was more comprehensive. Some.

"Returning to Your Majesty, Jin Yiwei found out that Donglin party members were gathering at Yang Lian's residence in the military department tonight. The initiator was Sun Shenxing, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, and the discussion was about the impeachment of Fang Congzhe, the first assistant university scholar, and the removal of Mr. Fang. Afterwards, the matter of electing a new cabinet scholar." Seeing Emperor Tianqi asking himself, Luo Sigong quickly explained the matter, and the depression of being preempted by Wei Chao just now was relieved a little, and he couldn't help but glanced at Wei Chao provocatively.

"Well, who are the participants? What are their attitudes?" After hearing what the two said, Emperor Tianqi sneered in his heart. It seemed that these people had made up their minds to move to Fang Congzhe this time.

Just as Luo Sigong was about to speak, Wei Chao hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this is recorded by the spies of the East Factory. Everyone who attended this party said what they said. It's all there." This memorial was handed over to Emperor Tianqi.

Glancing at the two people fighting back and forth, Emperor Tianqi suddenly felt a little funny in his heart, glanced at the two, and said with a blank face: "Okay, take out all your papers! I will record your contributions gone."

"Your Majesty, in addition to the Donglin Party, all the adults of the Qi, Zhejiang and Chu Parties have also gathered together tonight. The meeting place is the residence of Fang Congzhe, the chief minister." The two handed the memorial to Chen Hong, At the same time, Wei Chao slowly revealed another piece of news.Luo Sigong looked at Emperor Tianqi cautiously, seeing Emperor Tianqi waving his hand to let him go back, both of them heaved a sigh of relief at the same time, and left as if they had been pardoned.

Looking at the backs of Wei Chao and Luo Sigong walking out, Emperor Tianqi's face suddenly became gloomy and terrifying. Looking at the memorial in his hand, Emperor Tianqi sneered and said in a low voice: "It's not as simple as you think, let's wait and see .”

Nothing is arranged.When Emperor Tianqi went back to sleep, there were three people who were still discussing. These three people were the three main figures of the Donglin Party.All were given to Yang Lian, Minister of the Ministry of Officials Zhou Jiamo, and Dali Temple Shaoqing Zuo Guangdou, and the place where the three of them discussed matters was Yang Lian's bedroom.

After Zhou Jiamo got up and left, Zuo Guangdou chased him out and successfully held him back. After everyone left, Zuo Guangdou and Zuo Guangdou came to Yang Lian's bedroom.

"Brother Zhou, what do you think of what happened today?" Yang Lian gently put down the teacup in his hand, raised his head and stared at Zhou Jiamo with piercing eyes, his tone full of expectation.

Zhou Jiamo's face was ugly and constantly changing. He pondered for a while, and said slowly: "If the king does not keep secrets, he will lose his country, and if the ministers do not keep secrets, he will lose his body. Such a big gathering is really afraid of others. I don't know that we form a party, do you two know what is connected with the party?"

Before the two of them could speak, Zhou Jiamo continued, "It's selfishness. You two, do you still remember why you joined the Donglin Party back then?" After speaking, Zhou Jiamo looked at the two with piercing eyes, which were unusually sharp.

"Of course, when I was young and frivolous, I always held the ideal of serving the country and the people. I went to Donglin Academy to study and stayed there for a while. I felt that the literati there were the hope of the country. They read the books of sages and sages, and they understood righteousness. , willing to give up his life, that's why he joined the Donglin Party." Yang Lian smiled lightly, but the smile was a bit bitter, and the words were very sentimental.

Looking at the two people who were talking, Zuo Guangdou hurriedly said: "I was deceived. I don't know what the Donglin Party is. I just share the same goals with Yang Lian. He introduced some of his friends to me. , I don't know what kind of party struggle is going on here! By the time I knew it, it was too late." Zuo Guangdou gave Yang Lian a hard look, obviously feeling wronged and resentful for so many years.

"Yes! We were once young and frivolous, and we used to serve the country and the people, but so many years have passed, what are we doing? Fighting for power and profit, and disregarding the country's righteousness for our own interests, maybe we can say that we have no choice, but really Is that so? For so many years, we have been in the Donglin Party, don’t we know what this party looks like?” Zhou Jiamo’s tone was very downcast. For so many years, he had been unable to achieve his ambitions. It is a very happy thing.

"Hehe, I only found out later that the Donglin Party is not as simple as it seems on the surface. I was too young at the time. As my status gradually improved, I realized that Donglin Academy had salt merchants from the southeast and The landlords funded it. And there are seven floors in the academy full of their disciples or their supporters. These people are the backbone of the Donglin Party. Us, alas!" Yang Lian's sigh was very is meaningful.

Glancing at the decadent two, Zhou Jiamo smiled strangely, and continued: "It's obvious what happened this time, these people want to drive away Fang Congzhe of the Chu Party, and put their own person, presumably that person. We should take advantage of the emperor's youth and ignorance of the situation in the court to quickly cut through the mess and further increase his control over the court. But have these people thought about what happened to so many people who dominated the court in history? They thought they could do it Cao Mengde?"

"It's been more than 200 years in the Ming Dynasty. Wang Zhen and Liu Jin are so insignificant, but what will happen in the end? Zhang Jiangling, the Grand Master back then, was so powerful, but what happened in the end? Not to mention these villains who only serve their own interests? The so-called Donglin Party, what are they all about?" Zhou Jiamo spoke loudly, and his expression was very excited, the beard on his face was trembling uncontrollably.

Today's last chapter is here. Today is the first day of the recommendation and I can't see anything, but I still have the cheek to ask everyone to count the votes!
