The tree wants to be still but the wind does not stop.

The expression on Sun Shenxing's face was a little complicated. He seemed to be a little emotional, a little helpless, and more of it was dissatisfaction and indignation.

Turning his gaze to the crowd, Sun Shenxing slowly asked, "What do you think about this matter?"

Everyone's faces looked very ugly.

Gao Panlong said angrily, "This is cutting off our roots!"

Everyone was silent.

Naturally, everyone can see this, otherwise everyone wouldn't be silent.

Obviously, this new situation caught everyone off guard.

But the problem now is not to complain, but how to solve it?

"How come Jinyiwei Commander Luo Sigong is involved in this matter?" Minister of Works Zhao Nanxing said.

Everyone hesitated, and Sun Shenxing slowly asked, "I'm afraid he's colluding with Wei Zhongxian."

No one dares to say whether this guess is right or wrong.

It is normal to say that the speculation is correct. The collusion between the East Factory and the Jinyiwei is not a strange thing in itself, not to mention that the East Factory and the Jinyiwei have colluded more than once or twice.

If it is wrong, it is also normal because the East Factory and the Imperial Guards often have conflicts.

"The situation is unclear now, and we don't know why the Jinyiwei did this. But it doesn't matter anymore. What matters is what we should do?" Zhao Nanxing, the Minister of Works, raised his head and said slowly.

"The Jinyiwei sent Chen Kedao into the palace. We all know what the consequences were. This Chen Kedao is Li Zhi's disciple."

Everyone present understood that the dispute over the orthodox doctrine was never settled with words; a fight would result in death.

How did Li Zhi die? Who sitting here doesn't know?

Once Chen Kedao gains the trust of His Majesty, all of them will be finished.

What would be the consequences if the doctrine you believe in was denounced as heresy?

People like us once regarded Li Zhi's academic ideas as heresy. Now that he is in power, how should we deal with it?

Perhaps the other party wouldn't kill him, just like he hadn't killed them in the first place. But when he thought about how his own people couldn't pass the imperial examination and couldn't become officials, and that those who did would be dismissed and marginalized by the other party, who could still sit still?

Everyone present felt a little uneasy.

"What else could it be? It's nothing more than collusion to take advantage of each other!" Gao Panlong said loudly on the side.

Everyone was silent, it was obvious that what Gao Panlong said made sense.

Wei Zhongxian is now targeting the Donglin Party, so it is not unexpected that the Jinyiwei will intervene. Whether it is colluding with Wei Zhongxian or taking advantage of the situation, it is plausible.

"His Majesty is already dissatisfied with us. If he agrees with Chen Kedao's statement, then nothing we say will be of any use." Sun Shenxing raised his head and spoke.

"On the one hand, we need to submit a petition, and on the other hand, we need to explain this matter clearly to His Majesty. We should contact those who have lectured His Majesty and let His Majesty know that Li Zhi is a heretic. This matter is urgent, and we must act quickly! We can let Sun Chengzong enter the palace to give it a try."

After hearing what Sun Shenxing said, everyone nodded gently. This was the only way to go.

East Factory Prison.

Wei Zhongxian also received the news at this time.

Logically speaking, this should have made him happy. However, Wei Zhongxian was extremely upset at this moment. He felt that he had overlooked one thing, that is, Jinyiwei and Chen Hong.

These days, I have been very effective in dealing with the Donglin Party. In the case currently under trial, some people have changed their statements, and everyone's confessions point to forming a clique for personal gain.

People from the Inspectorate said that they impeached Xiong Tingbi at the instigation of Zou Yuanbiao, the Left Censor-in-Chief of the Censorate, and Yang Lian was also involved.

Since it was a clique for personal gain, it naturally couldn't be just these few people. Others' testimonies directly pointed to Zhao Nanxing and Gao Panlong, and some even pointed to the Minister of Rites, Sun Shenxing, saying he was the big boss of the Donglin Party in the court.

It was Sun Shenxing who made peace with Fang Congzhe and instigated him to give up his position as the Prime Minister and no longer pursue Fang Congzhe.

Now I just have to wait until all the confessions are accurate and prepare the corresponding witnesses and material evidence, and then I can report to the emperor and have all these people arrested.

The official case of forming a clique for personal gain can now be launched.

By then, I will definitely be the most powerful one in front of the emperor, and I will also be able to connect with some people in the court. By then, I will definitely make every effort to reach the top.

From the beginning to the end, Wei Zhongxian did not take the Jinyiwei seriously, and they had nothing to do with this.

As for Chen Hong in front of the emperor, Wei Zhongxian didn't take him seriously or take him seriously.

Although the emperor favored Chen Hong, he was not bad to himself! The most crucial problem was that Chen Hong could only spin around in front of the emperor like a little top, and he couldn't stretch out his hands.

But now it’s different. Others can’t see that there is a problem here, but Wei Zhongxian can.

This time, the incident was obviously caused by Jinyiwei and Chen Hong.

In other words, Chen Hong and the Jinyiwei were in collusion!

After these two forces colluded with each other, the Jinyiwei had internal support in the palace, and Chen Hong also had people working for him outside the palace. After these two people colluded with each other, it was no longer a matter of one plus one equals two.

Now the two of them have created Chen Kedao, which makes Wei Zhongxian even more unhappy.

Although Wei Zhongxian had not read much, he understood one thing, that is, the people the emperor employed were directly related to whose words the emperor believed.

Chen Kedao was a civil servant, and he was not of the same kind as the Donglin Party members in the current officialdom.

Once the emperor believed his words, then after the Donglin Party fell, the people who would take over those positions would most likely be people related to Chen Kedao.

By then, the Jinyiwei and Chen Hong will really extend their hands to the court.

What did you get?

He had brought down the Donglin Party, leaving a ton of positions vacant at court, but in the end, he didn't get any of them; they were all taken by the Jinyiwei and Chen Hong. How embarrassed was he?

He did all the dirty work and took all the blame, but these two people took all the benefits.

How could Wei Zhongxian not be depressed?

It's really depressing!

It's so insidious. Why didn't I think of it before?

Wei Zhongxian was angry and annoyed at the same time.

Sun Yunhe, who was standing next to Wei Zhongxian, had a very 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 had no intention of speaking, Sun Yunhe could not help but cautiously ask, "Governor, is there anything bothering you?"

Looking up at Sun Yunhe, Wei Zhongxian's expression didn't improve much.

He felt that Sun Yunhe could not help much, and this was not torture.
