From this moment on, the situation in the court became more and more interesting.
Liu Yijing started to take action against the Donglin Party, which was something Zhu Youxiao had not expected, but it was something he welcomed.
In addition to these two forces, the East Factory and the Embroidered Uniform Guard also started fighting.
Things were starting to get bad between Wei Zhongxian and Chen Hong. The Jinyiwei had sided with Chen Hong, and Wei Zhongxian and Chen Hong were now evenly matched. As long as he didn't mess around, this situation would probably continue for a long time.
On the civil service side, there is another force that he wants to support, and that is the followers of the School of Mind.
Of course, it is not appropriate to call it the School of Mind. In fact, it is Li Zhi's theory, or Li Zhi's theory that he modified. However, these are not important. The main point is that this theory was improved and supported by himself.
Take it easy!
Now everything is ready and the curtain has been raised. This battle should last for a while, but Zhu Youxiao doesn't know how long it will last.
If everyone follows your own ideas and does things according to your own arrangements, then it will naturally be completed quickly.
But the reality was obviously not like this. The Donglin Party fought back desperately, and the person who came up with the idea was extremely vicious and cruel.
Liu Yijing wanted to reap the benefits and take advantage of the emperor's actions against the Donglin Party, and step on the Donglin Party hard when the party was weak.
This old fox's behavior can be said to fully demonstrate the style of a seasoned official. This gave Zhu Youxiao a new understanding of Liu Yijing.
Before Zhu Youxiao traveled through time, he did not have a high opinion of Liu Yijing.
The reason is very simple. When it comes to governing the country, or in all political and military affairs, Liu Yijing has not shown any extraordinary abilities. This can be seen from his resume.
Liu Yijing was a typical clean official. He was a Jinshi in the Wanli period, and was selected as a Shujishi. He held official positions such as the Chief Academic Officer of the Imperial College and the Assistant Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites. Now he has entered the cabinet.
Another reason for this perception is some later sayings that Liu Yijing gave up his position too easily. He directly gave up his position to Ye Xianggao, the leader of the Donglin Party, which made many people look down on him.
Although Zhu Youxiao did not look down on Liu Yijing, he did not think highly of him either. Even when he was preparing to attack the Donglin Party, the first person Zhu Youxiao thought of was not him, the chief minister of the cabinet, but Fang Congzhe, who had been sent back to his hometown by the Donglin Party.
However, this incident of kicking someone when he was down made Zhu Youxiao look at Liu Yijing with a new respect.
This old fox hadn't acted rashly before, showing he was a man of great patience. But now, he acted with extraordinary decisiveness, and the consequences were significant enough that it could be said his actions were steady, accurate, and ruthless. Both his timing and his grasp of the situation were perfectly executed.
Now Zhu Youxiao has some expectations for Liu Yijing.
Since Liu Yijing is willing to come to the front of the stage, let him go first!
Zhu Youxiao glanced at Chen Hong, who was standing not far away, and said expressionlessly, "Go and convey my imperial decree to the Cabinet's Grand Secretary, Liu Yijing. Recently, many people have petitioned to thoroughly investigate the Donglin Party case, falsely accusing Xiong Tingbi of colluding with Li Ruzhen of Liaodong. Some also want to investigate and prosecute them together, saying that the cases should be handled together."
"I want to know what the officials think. You will instruct the cabinet to issue a note, ask for their opinions, and then have the cabinet summarize and submit it to me."
Chen Hong quickly bowed and agreed, "I'll go right away."
After saying this, he turned around and ran outside.
Zhu Youxiao turned around and walked back to his couch, exhaled leisurely, and leaned back on the couch.
The expression on his face also revealed a bit of leisure, and he seemed much more at ease. Ge You's pose was indeed very comfortable.
Things are actually easier now, and there is no need for our people to stand up so early.
Since the civil servants are willing to fight, let them fight among themselves first and wait and see when they come to a conclusion.
Don't worry about anything else, just wait and watch the show. It's going to be a very good show.
The situation in the court these days can be described as turbulent and complicated.
It can be said that all parties made their appearance on stage, and everyone was playing his or her own role. It was a feast for the eyes, and even more so, it made people feel at a loss.
The atmosphere in the cabinet was very low at this time.
Both Han Yu and Liu Yijing had very ugly expressions on their faces.
Recently, Fang Congzhe emerged and wrote a letter to impeach Concubine Zheng, saying that some people inside and outside the court had formed a rebel party, which not only murdered the late emperor, but also plotted against the current emperor.
This incident shocked the entire cabinet.
Han Yu and Liu Yijing didn't need to understand it in detail. Just by looking at the people who wrote the questions, they would instantly understand who was behind it.
The expressions of both of them were not very good.
Liu Yijing said bluntly: "These people are really too abominable. Do they say such things casually? Can this case be turned upside down? Who will benefit from making a fuss? They really don't care about their lives, all of them!"
Han Yu disagreed with Liu Yijing's statement.
What's the point of getting angry like this now?
Isn't it because you just took ruthless action?
You do it on the first day and I do it on the fifteenth. It’s not a big deal if we all interact with each other.
It's not fun to act so out of control.
But Han Yu also knew that Liu Yijing was afraid.
The two of them knew very well what kind of strength the Donglin Party had.
Now that I have just taken action, there has been such a strong counterattack from the other side, as if it seems that if I am not good, you can't be good either, and it seems like a situation where both of us will perish together.
This was quite scary for both of them.
They can even do this, but this is a major case of treason, and no one involved will have a good ending. It can be said that both sides have already started to compete with each other.
Han Yu stood up and walked straight to Liu Yijing. He picked up the teapot and poured him a cup of tea, then poured himself a cup of tea. Then he turned around and sat in his seat.
After taking a seat, Han Yu gently sipped his tea before slowly speaking, "Lord, there are always countless things going on in this world. If you don't think about doing things, you won't have so many worries. But since you have to do things, then these worries are inevitable. At this point, there's no point in talking about other things. What we need to do is figure out how to resolve this matter."
Han Yu took another sip of water and said in a low voice, "After all, they won't let us go again."
