Zhao Nanxing was really confused now. The question now was what should he do? Should he resign himself to his fate or choose to resist?
The so-called leaving everything to fate is very simple. That is to postpone the investigation of the Ministry of Industry first, and then investigate it when it can no longer be delayed.
When the time comes, I will find a few scapegoats in the Ministry of Works and hand them over to the higher authorities, and the rest will be left to His Majesty to decide.
If His Majesty asks me to go home, I will go home. There is no other way.
However, it was hard to say whether the Donglin Party case would implicate him. If he was not careful, he might end up going to the Imperial Guard to accompany them. So this was a multiple choice question.
If you choose to rise up in resistance, then you will investigate the Ministry of Works thoroughly and let the people in the Ministry of Works know that there is a person named Zhao Nanxing, the Minister of Works.
This is also what His Majesty wants me to do, that is to thoroughly clean up the Ministry of Works, so that I will not be in any danger.
If he did this, he would face retaliation from many people and even could no longer stay in the Donglin Party.
What should I do?
I need to find a backer.
So who would be the most suitable person? Liu Yijing?
Definitely not. Liu Yijing is a shrewd and scheming person. He is unreliable, and besides, I am not that close to him.
Apart from him, I only have one choice left, and that person is Han Yu.
Under the current circumstances, Han Yu also needs help. Therefore, he must find Han Yu and form an alliance with him. This is his only way out.
Han Yu is currently investigating the Donglin Party case, which is also a very difficult matter. Han Yu will inevitably break up with the Donglin Party. As long as I join hands with him, I will have the confidence.
He was investigating over there, and I was investigating at the Ministry of Industry, a two-pronged approach!
The more Zhao Nanxing thought about it, the more he felt that this method was feasible.
As for the so-called Donglin Party, are those people really considered Donglin Party members? They are just scum who have infiltrated the ranks!
By working together with Han Yu, he could completely squeeze out Sun Shenxing. This was a very good idea.
Wait for tomorrow's results. If Sun Shenxing and Liu Yijing fail to reach an agreement, I will go find Han Yu.
Zhao Nanxing made up his mind. He felt that this was a way out, both for himself and for the Ming Dynasty.
At the same time, Han Yu was sitting alone in the study drinking tea.
The lights in the room flickered, but Han Yu paid no attention to them. He just sat there quietly, like an old monk in meditation, and did not move for a long time.
Through today's events, Han Yu probably sorted out everything.
The cause of all this was Wei Zhongxian. Wei Zhongxian wanted revenge on those who impeached him.
If we go back further, the thing is that Your Majesty appointed Xiong Tingbi.
Han Yu also knew the reason for that incident, and he even went to see His Majesty for this purpose.
That is, Your Majesty had a dream about a flying bear and a wild boar, and the person who interpreted the dream was a Taoist priest named Han Li, and that Han Li was sent to the palace by Wei Zhongxian.
Why did Wei Zhongxian do this?
There is actually no need to think about this. Eunuchs have all kinds of strange ways to consolidate the emperor's favor. It is not strange at all for them to give women and various toys to the emperor. So it is naturally not strange for him to give a Taoist priest to the emperor.
Your Majesty had a strange dream, so he asked Han Li for his opinion. The Taoist priest Han Li interpreted the dream, and so Your Majesty appointed Xiong Tingbi, which led to the subsequent turmoil in the court.
Afterwards, Yang Lian and his men failed to live up to the trust of His Majesty and messed things up, and things went in an unpredictable direction.
Han Yu discovered one thing, that is, there is a pair of hands pushing this matter forward, pushing everything to the current situation.
Thinking of this, Han Yu suddenly raised his head.
In the whole thing, there is a person who was not involved in it, but this person is everywhere, and that person is His Majesty!
It seems that His Majesty is in charge of everything.
It is unknown when Your Majesty began to prepare; it is also unknown when Your Majesty began to intervene.
But Han Yu thought one thing through clearly, which was what His Majesty wanted to do.
In fact, Han Yu had this feeling during the day, so he stood up directly to verify the doubts in his heart.
As a result, His Majesty gave me the answer. His Majesty transferred the Jinyiwei here, which proved that His Majesty wanted me to do so.
His Majesty wanted Old Han to settle the case and convict all those in the East Factory prison, and even implicate more people.
His Majesty is forcing me to do this. If I don't do as His Majesty wants, I will be the next person to be sent to the Jinyiwei prison.
Thinking of this, Han Yu broke out in a cold sweat.
Sometimes, there are things you don't have a choice about.
"Master, it's getting late. You still have to be on duty tomorrow, so you should go to bed early." The old butler Han Fu came to Han Yu and spoke in a gentle tone, with a hint of concern and worry.
I have followed my master for so many years, and I don’t know how many years it has been since I saw him like this.
Han Yu glanced at his old butler and said in a deep voice, "Han Fu, I have a question for you. If I do something that will offend many people, but His Majesty will be happy; if I don't do it, His Majesty will be angry with me and I might even be imprisoned. What should your master do?"
Hearing his master's question, Han Fu pondered for a moment and said respectfully: "Master, these are important matters in the court. I don't understand them, so naturally I don't know how to answer them."
