Chapter 1093 Movement Expansion
Gao Yihuan in the Tiange frowned when he heard that Sun Kewang attacked Dongyu. Dongyu was a vassal of the Great Wei.

Gao Yihuan stood with his hands behind his back, and said in a deep voice: "Sun Kewang is really non-stop. I originally thought that after he proclaimed himself a minister to me, he would settle down for a while, but I didn't want to stir up trouble again."

Gao Yihuan looked at Li Yan and asked, "What's going on?"

Li Yan said: "The envoy from Dongyu only said that Zhou's army had entered Dongyu and that the troops had arrived at the King's City of Dongyu. They didn't provide much information, but I have sent people to collect information. There should be a report from Yunnan and Guizhou soon."

Gao Yihuan nodded slightly, while Li Yan saluted and said, "Your Majesty, if Sun Kewang attacks Dongyu for no reason, the court will definitely take action. I think the turmoil in the court should be over."

Now the imperial court is still in turmoil, and people's hearts are uncertain. The battle with the Ming army in the southeast coast has not yet reached a turning point. Gao Yihuan really has no energy to take care of the affairs in Southeast Asia.

For the sake of Toungoo, sending troops into Southeast Asia, consuming national power, seems not worth it.

It was a famous quagmire there, the southeast was not quiet, and Sun Kewang didn't attack Wei, so Gao Yihuan didn't want to send troops.

Moreover, in the current state of Wei, it is indeed impossible to interfere in Southeast Asia, but after all, if the subordinate country is attacked by others, it does not mean that it will lose face and damage the majesty of the great country.

Gao Yihuan pondered for a while, "At the beginning, when Dongyu King was conferred and Dongyu Kingdom was included in the tributary system, he wanted to use Dongyu to encircle Sun Kewang and seal Sun Kewang's west, but now it has become a trouble!"

Li Yan said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the original strategy was not wrong. Dongyu has indeed blocked Sun Kewang for many years. If it weren't for the internal turmoil in Wei this time, let Sun Kewang see an opportunity, knowing that Dawei has no time to take care of Dongyu, Sun Kewang It is impossible to send troops to Dongyu!"

The meaning of these words is still to persuade Gao Yihuan to stabilize the situation as soon as possible and calm people's hearts.

Gao Yihuan turned around and stared at Li Yan, knowing that he was a sensible person, that Huang Zongxi didn't have that much energy to leverage the situation in the Great Wei Dynasty, and only the Great Wei Emperor could really control the situation, and only the Great Wei Emperor could end the situation. turmoil.

Gao Yihuan estimated that Li Yan had already noticed this matter. He was actually the beneficiary of this struggle, and even one of the instigators and instigators.

As the chief assistant, Li Yan couldn't be clear about the affairs of the court.

Gao Yihuan recalled that Li Yan actually hinted at him a few times about Chen Mingxia, but every time he didn't say it clearly, he just gave Chen Mingxia some soil from time to time, slowly shaking Chen Mingxia's weight in Gao Yihuan's heart, and waited for the conflict to break out , can completely knock down Chen Mingxia.

While watching, Chen Mingxia collapsed, Yang Yongyu left, Li Jiantai dismounted, and the cabinet left for a little while. In the end, Li Yan must clean up the mess.

Gao Yihuan took a breath, Chen Mingxia's downfall should be what Li Yan wanted to see, and Li Yan even took advantage of him.

"Sir, do you think this is enough?" Gao Yihuan stared at Li Yan.

Li Yan's back felt cold, he did not pretend to be confused, he saluted and said: "Your Majesty, I think this is enough, if you continue, you will hurt the country."

Gao Yihuan nodded slightly, and Li Yan had been watching. When the battle came out, it meant that a large number of old bureaucrats who formed parties for personal gain had been kicked out of the court, or demoted into exile, and the Xungui Group was also hit. It will affect the morale of the army.

"Okay!" Gao Yihuan waved his hand, "I will consider Mr.'s words, and I will need Mr. to stabilize the situation for me then!"

Gao Yihuan's meaning is obvious, he agreed to Li Yan and asked Li Yan to clean up the mess.

……

A few days later, Gao Yicheng from Yunnan and Guizhou sent a memorial, detailing what happened to Toungoo.

It is mentioned in the report that Sun Kewang went south to Malacca, and King Dongyu took the opportunity to attack Siam, but he didn't want to fall into the trap. The general Bai Mang was killed, and Sun Kewang came to the city with his troops.

Gao Yihuan was shocked by this news, but it was not because Sun Kewang's soldiers came to Dongyu King City. Gao Yihuan knew the news when the Dongyu envoy arrived a few days ago.

What shocked him was that Sun Kewang actually attacked Malacca, which made Gao Yihuan very unhappy, feeling like being robbed of his own things.

If Sun Kewang occupies Toungoo and controls Malacca, his strength will inevitably double. Wei Guo will not only have nothing to do with Sun Kewang, but even his future trade in Nanyang will inevitably be affected by Sun Kewang.

This news prompted Gao Yihuan to make up his mind not to expand the case. At the right time, Li Hu, Gao Yihuan's nephew, was unbearable to be impeached and committed suicide at home.

Li Hu was captured by the Ming army and imprisoned for many years. After the Wei army captured Nanjing, he was rescued.

In fact, he didn't have any bad deeds, but the Southern Party with Donglin's gene, can be said to be very good at catching wind and shadows, making all kinds of black materials, saying that he betrayed Wei during his captivity, and made up all kinds of things out of nothing.

Li Hu couldn't bear the pressure and chose to commit suicide, which let Gao Yihuan know that the movement had indeed expanded and started to hurt innocent people.

Once this kind of movement expands, it will be difficult to stop the car, and it will inevitably hurt the country. In the early Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang’s several major cases killed more than [-] people. The Tianjing Incident in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom also affected tens of thousands of people. Forget it.

Gao Yihuan immediately issued an order to investigate the matter, and reprimanded Huang Zongxi for allowing his subordinates to slander the officials of the imperial court after he was in charge of the admonition platform, and ordered Li Yan to clean up the government and the public, strictly prohibit the slander, and hold him accountable.

The style of writing is a means for the emperor to control the ministers. It can supervise the work of the ministers and make fewer mistakes. The original intention is to supervise and supervise.

However, when some unscrupulous speech officials formed a clique, the role of inspectors and supervision gradually diminished, and instead became a means for the party to fight dissidents.

Anyway, there is no need to provide evidence to hear the wind, and you can fabricate all kinds of things, attack the opponent on the basis of the wind, and make the opponent bad.

In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, this kind of atmosphere gradually prevailed. Officials don’t have to be responsible anyway. They not only attack dissidents, but also criticize the court’s national policies and front-line generals at will, pointing fingers at others and affecting national affairs. , Many big things are bad in their mouths.

Gao Yihuan reprimanded Huang Zongxi, strictly prohibited slander, and pursued responsibility, which made the admonition platform suddenly lose its voice.

Huang Zongxi hurriedly wrote a letter to plead guilty, saying that he would manage the remonstrance well, thinking that this matter would just go away, and the emperor would act like this.

After all, in Huang Zongxi's view, these things were actually acquiesced and supported by the emperor, and he also followed the emperor's wishes by doing so.

However, Li Hu's death angered many nobles. They didn't dare to speak, but when they saw the emperor reprimanding Huang Zongxi, they immediately wrote letters of impeachment and launched a counterattack.
