Transmigrated to the Great Ming Dynasty, I became Emperor Zhu Youxiao, the Carpenter Emperor. Well then, I'll hide behind the scenes; I'll take the blame, and you all go die.
Although he didn't know whether Liu Yijing had noticed it, Han Yu discovered that Liu Yijing had no intention of getting involved in this matter, which meant that this old fox wanted to stay out of it.
This made Han Yu feel a little disappointed.
The reason was very simple. Liu Yijing was not deeply involved with the Donglin Party, and in the end, the incident did not necessarily implicate him.
Especially on the issue of Donglin Academy, it has nothing to do with Liu Yijing. It would be strange if he was willing to wade into this muddy water.
The fact that this incident broke out at this point would help Liu Yijing crush the Donglin Party. Not adding insult to injury now would be a sign of mercy on his part; expecting him to help was certainly out of the question.
But Han Yu was a little hesitant now. If he continued to ignore it, even if he didn't add insult to injury, the Donglin Party would probably be in great trouble.
The key issue is that his cooperation with Liu Yijing is not to completely crush the Donglin Party, but to drive some people out and then take over their property himself, and even rely on these capitals to compete with Liu Yijing.
If the Donglin Party really collapsed completely, what should I do?
Liu Yijing didn't care what Han Yu was thinking. He had already asked someone to send the memorial to the Imperial Household Department.
In fact, what Liu Yijing was thinking was similar to Han Yu's.
He was thinking about how to take advantage of the situation, but he was also a little hesitant.
Because the initiator of this incident was Yu Maoheng, and Yu Maoheng also used many of Li Zhi's theories, this means that there may be other people behind Yu Maoheng.
If he and Yu Maoheng cooperated with each other invisibly, it would be very likely that he would be stepped on by Yu Maoheng afterwards.
Because he and Yu Maoheng not only had disagreements in official circles, but also in academics.
Under such circumstances, new conflicts may break out between the two sides.
It would be difficult for me to fight them then. After all, I need to help them at this time, and doing so would offend too many people.
Once all the academies in the world are destroyed, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among those who founded the academies, as well as dissatisfaction among those behind the academies.
You have to know that those standing behind the academy are all powerful local people, as well as some people who are studying in the academy and those who are about to enter the academy to study.
In such circumstances, doing such things yourself is really not worth it.
So Liu Yijing finally chose to stand by and watch, wait and see, and if there was a suitable opportunity later, it would not be too late to take action.
This is the victory of the Wait Party.
Liu Yijing planned to wait and see the reaction in the palace first.
The Imperial Palace, the Forbidden City, and the Palace of Heavenly Purity.
Zhu Youxiao looked at the question book in his hand, glanced at Chen Hong who was standing trembling on the other side, and shook his head expressionlessly.
The eunuch I chose is really not good enough, but it seems that there is no other suitable candidate.
There were not many reliable eunuchs in the palace. Wei Zhongxian was one of them. He was resourceful and ruthless, but his ambitions were too great, so it was impossible for him to be allowed in.
It's good that Wei Zhongxian bites people for his own sake. There should still be reliable people in the palace.
Wei Chao was sent to Liaodong by himself, and even if he came back, he would not dare to use him.
In addition to this, there is also Wang An, but Wang An is a member of the Donglin Party. Firstly, the matter has not been resolved yet, and it is not easy for him to use Wang An for anything. Secondly, he needs to keep someone so that if things take a turn, there will be someone he can use.
He lacked a shrewd eunuch by his side, and Chen Hong was not one of them. He lacked both ability and vision. However, he had not found a suitable candidate yet, so he had to use him first.
Zhu Youxiao continued to look through the question book in his hand with a complicated expression.
Zhu Youxiao had high expectations for Yu Maoheng, but he actually gave him a big surprise, which he had not expected.
Another crucial reason is that Yu Maoheng submitted this question book at the wrong time.
I originally wanted to watch Liu Yijing and the Donglin Party fight each other, but now it’s no longer possible.
Once this petition comes out, there's no way to delay the matter any longer. It really needs to be dealt with as soon as possible. Add to that the Donglin Party's counterattack case, and if I don't step in, things are going to get really messy.
Glancing at Chen Hong beside him, Zhu Youxiao asked, "Is Fang Congzhe about to arrive? Is there any news from the Jinyiwei yet?"
"Your Majesty, new news has not yet arrived, but according to the report from two days ago, it will be within the next two days." Chen Hong said quickly: "After I finish serving Your Majesty, I will go and ask."
"Don't wait any longer, send someone to ask now." Zhu Youxiao ordered directly
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will arrange for someone to go right away." Chen Hong said hurriedly
The person Chen Hong arranged to question left quickly, and Zhu Youxiao stood up and paced back and forth in the hall.
Things have reached a critical moment and are about to break out. If Fang Congzhe can get to the capital as soon as possible, then I can take action.
The time is set for the next grand court meeting. I haven’t attended the court since I traveled through time. This is the first time.
Now that many things have been detonated, I need to come forward. It would be inappropriate to hide behind anymore.
"Your Majesty, Sun Chengzong requests to see you." Chen Hong once again found Zhu Youxiao's side and spoke softly, then bowed and stepped aside, standing quietly.
In fact, Chen Hong had already realized that something was wrong.
Yu Maoheng's notebook was really too big. Thinking of his previous relationship with Yu Maoheng, Chen Hong felt a chill.
He didn't expect that Yu Maoheng was so brave.
He had sent Zhu Tongmeng's petition himself, and he could probably guess what his master was thinking. But he hadn't expected Yu Maoheng to be so ruthless and leave no room for maneuver.
Zhu Youxiao didn't expect that Sun Chengzong would actually come. He knew that people from the Donglin Party had gone to see him some time ago.
Gao Panlong went there in person. He originally thought that Sun Chengzong would enter the palace soon, but he didn't.
I didn't expect him to come at this time. It seems that he came here for Yu Maoheng's question book in my hand.
He sighed softly. Yu Maoheng's test paper had a huge impact.
In fact, Zhu Youxiao did not expect Yu Maoheng to be so desperate.
In this memorial, Yu Maoheng not only offended the Donglin Party, but also directly attacked academies all over the world, even including Neo-Confucianism.
He is just a crazy person.
Apart from anything else, Yu Maoheng's essay actually has some of Li Zhi's style.
However, Zhu Youxiao also knew that Yu Maoheng was just doing it for show.
This is a talent.
Not only did he understand his own meaning, but he also knew that he valued Li Zhi's theories.
Not only that, Yu Maoheng also established a relationship with Xu Guangqi and took every step carefully.
