In other words, the joint attack on the Donglin Party is the biggest vote of Gonggong Wei to worship Shen on this mountain.

There is nothing more than a blow to the Donglin Party, which is more popular with the four Ming ministers, and it is more popular with the four Ming ministers.

This hates the Donglin Party far more than Wei Liangchen, otherwise he would not have to pull people back when he retreats.

In the matter of cracking down on the Donglin Party, Gonggong Wei did a lot, first united with the Chu Party to deal with Li Chengliang, the arm of the Donglin Party outside the Guan, and later prevented Li Sancai from entering the cabinet.

Liangchen deliberately kept a low profile about these two things, and not many people knew about them. However, the burning of Wuxi Donglin Academy and the abduction of hundreds of Donglin teachers and students are the best evidence of his attitude towards the Donglin Party.

He dared to take the risk and secretly came to Ningbo to meet Shen Yiyi, because of his attitude towards the Donglin Party.

Shen Yi stared at Wei Liangchen for a few moments, and suddenly smiled: "Why did Cao Fu harm you, an unknown person?" ”

That's a sharp question.

In the eyes of the four Ming ministers, Li Sancai is much more powerful than Wei Liangchen, the admiral and maritime minister, one of them is an elephant, and the other is an ant.

The dignified elephant, will it be okay to find trouble with an ant?

I'm afraid I can't even see it.

The subtext is that you Wei Liangchen are nothing, and you are not worthy of being Li Sancai's opponent at all. The only one who can be an opponent with a character like Li Sancai is his four bright men.

Wei Liangchen knew that what Shen had always said was the truth, in terms of grade alone, he was only seven grades, and he was still a minister, so he could not be compared with the important ministers of the imperial court.

However, it is the basic national policy of this dynasty to control the big with the small.

He chuckled lightly and said, "So that Xianggong knows that the reason why Cao Fu harmed me in Wuxi is all because of the matter of the imperial tomb." ”

"Imperial Tomb Wood?"

Shen Yi's eyes moved, and his face was surprised: "What does this matter have to do with you?" ”

"Xianggong didn't know that the matter of the imperial tomb was exposed by the younger generation, and it was reported to His Majesty by Tian Ergeng of Jinyi Weinan Town, and then Li Sancai was demoted."

Wei Liangchen told the inside story very calmly, opened the lid of the tea bowl in front of him, and gently brushed it.

This is the time for the four Ming Xianggong to absorb and digest.

Shen Cheng was really moved this time, he never imagined that Li Sancai's theft of the imperial tomb wood was actually exposed by the little eunuch in front of him.

This is really a bit unacceptable, you must know that during his tenure as the first assistant, he tried to deal with Li Sancai several times, but he either couldn't find the other party's handle, or he was constrained by Kedao's rebound, and he was worried, and finally failed to succeed.

Today, a little eunuch said that he brought Li Sancai down, which made Siming Xianggong unbelievable.

After a moment's thought, he asked directly, "Who instructed?" ”

It is normal for Shen to have this suspicion, if there is no instruction from the palace Dajue, how can Wei Liangchen, a low-grade eunuch, dare to do such a big thing.

But that's just the way it is.

"No one directs you."

Wei Liangchen shook his head, "It's all on conscience. Minister Hu Wei, how can he ignore it. ”

Shen has always been stunned, his deep gaze seemed to go from Wei Liangchen's eyes to the depths of his heart, for a moment, he laughed, his expression was much more hearty than before, and he praised it: "Good sentence Minister Hu Wei, how can you ignore it!" … If the hero is a young man, the old man never thought that Cao Fu was defeated by your later life, interesting, interesting. ”

"People all over the world call him Caofu, but in the eyes of the younger generations, he is just a villain!" Wei Liangchen said hatefully, not hiding his disgust for Li Sancai at all.

At this point, he doesn't need to hide his hostility towards Li Sancai or even the Donglin Party.

Because, this is what Shen has always been good about.

"Li Sancai is indeed a villain."

Shen Yi nodded and called Li Sancai's name, and his love for the little eunuch in front of him was overflowing.

"So, the matter of Wuxi, Li Sancai framed you?" Shen Cheng asked again.

"Exactly."

Wei Liangchen's heart didn't beat or his face was red, and he said slowly: "The younger generation came to Wuxi and sincerely visited Donglin Gu Xiancheng, but I didn't want Mr. Donglin to travel west." When Li San saw the arrival of the juniors, he instigated the people to deliberately besiege the juniors, in a vain attempt to repeat the incident in Suzhou. At the end of the day, it is nothing more than revenge on the younger generation. If it weren't for the decisiveness of the younger generation, I am afraid that I would have died. ”

"You didn't die, but a fire burned Donglin Academy, I'm afraid that Gu Xiancheng will know that he will vomit blood alive." Shen Zheng's words were full of schadenfreude, and he didn't hide the city at all, which shows how much this Siming minister hates the Donglin party.

"The younger generation took the emperor's order to Jiangnan to run maritime affairs, but the emperor did not do it but caused these troubles, to put it mildly, I really can't stand Your Majesty." Liangchen was a little ashamed and a little sad.

"It's not your fault that this matter is really that Li Sancai is aggressive. They are all civilians, and they dare to fan the flames, and they have no king's law, which is simply a shame for the minister. ”

Shen Cheng snorted slightly.

He believed that what the little eunuch in front of him said was true, because he knew Li Sancai and the Donglin Party too well. As long as Li Sancai does not die for a day, even if he is in prison, he can lead Donglin to make waves.

"The younger generations don't want to be too entangled with the Donglin Party, so they are bent on handling the emperor's errands, and they don't want them to be indomitable, and the younger generations are also powerless about this."

"The old man can't interfere in the affairs of Jiangnan."

Shen has always said that Jiangnan is Donglin's old nest, and he, the former first assistant, can't manage it.

Wei Liangchen nodded slightly: "I only hate that the younger generation is a minister, and there is no way to form a party, otherwise, I will definitely form a party of gentlemen and compete with the Donglin traitor party, and it will be decided by the court." ”

Hearing this, Shen couldn't help but be curious: "In the Book of Shang, it is said that there is no party in partiality, Confucius said that the masses are not the party, and the party is a tool for villains to harm the country and destroy the country, why do you still think about the party?" ”

This question is also very sharp, Wei Liangchen was not in a hurry, and replied: "This is exactly where I want to consult the minister!" ”

Shen was stunned, looking at Wei Liangchen with a puzzled face, I don't know where to start?

"Isn't Xianggong the leader of the Zhejiang Party? … Kong Sheng once said, 'Our party boy', so according to the younger generation, not all those who form a party have bad intentions, and if the party is harmless to the country, it is better to exterminate it. The Zhejiang Party is also for the benefit of the community, not for the country. Therefore, the gentleman does not form a party, but the villain forms a party, and the gentleman will suffer a loss if he uses the power of the party to the gentleman. This pair of fists is hard to beat the four-legged truth. ”

Wei Liangchen said really the first thing, and it was difficult for him to ask Ruan Dacheng to read the sentences of the Four Books and Five Classics about forming a party to him before he came, and then contact them to behave in front of the Four Ming Ministers.

These words are very much in line with Shen Zheng's heart, even if this Siming minister is also a party for personal gain, but in any case, Shen has always never admitted that he is a traitor, and he always thinks that he founded the Zhejiang Party for the good of the country.

As Wei Liangchen said, if all the gentlemen do not form a party, then the villains will unite to deal with the gentlemen, wouldn't they be able to break them one by one. At that time, won't the court be controlled by the villains?

I was happy in my heart, my words were speculative, and it was rare for the other party to have a position with myself, the more I looked at it, the more I was happy, and it was rare to let Wei Liangchen drink tea.

Liangchen hurriedly picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, and after putting down the tea bowl, he heard Shen always say to him: "You understand what you say, but how did the old man hear that your greedy reputation is heard in Jiangnan, and now it is even more heard in my Zhejiang?" … This is not a gentleman's doing, but it seems to be the work of a villain. ”

The four Ming ministers are silent, leading the topic to recent events. Needless to say, say a thousand ways and ten thousand, you Wei Liangchen came to my door and offered me silver, so I'm afraid you didn't come to tell Lao Xiangguo that you don't deal with the Donglin Party.

Liangchen sighed slightly and said: "Everyone in the world says that the younger generation is greedy, but they don't know that the younger generation is burdened with a thousand pounds. If the emperor does nothing, I am afraid that the younger generation will only be afraid of becoming an ordinary member of the palace. ”

Liangchen is telling the truth to Shen and has always said that to put it bluntly, if he doesn't get money, the emperor will not let him have a good time. And if you want to make money, you will have a bad reputation.

You can't have it both ways.

The matter of the mine tax commissioner, but Shen has always had the most headache during his tenure, and he also tried his best to reconcile the contradictions between the mine tax supervisor and the local government. How could he not be clear, and he was also happy to see this little eunuch tell the truth.

He said: "Your Majesty has entrusted you to supervise the maritime affairs, and you can do it, but this huge maritime profit cannot be obtained by one family. If you want to swallow an elephant, you will not be strong enough to risk the condemnation of the world. ”

The implication is to remind Wei Liangchen to do things in a measured manner, and it is okay to make money, but if you want to make trouble for money, chickens and dogs jump, and even kill people, causing local resentment to boil, the end will not be much better.

"What Xiang Gong said is very true, the younger generation does not dare to have extravagant hopes, let alone this idea, but some people force the younger generation to do thunderbolt means." Wei Liangchen looked distressed.

"What do you mean by that?" Shen has always been unaware of the truth of the center-left, and he is puzzled.

"Xianggong didn't know that the younger generation created the Maritime Special Zone in Wusong and devoted himself to running maritime affairs in this special zone, how could he ever think of ......it?" Wei Liangchen said angrily about the Dinghaiwei Zhongzuo Institute pretending to be Japanese criminals to attack and kill the soldiers and civilians of the Maritime Special Zone.

It was said in great detail, and the deaths of the soldiers and civilians were all said.

"The old man didn't know there was such a thing!" Shen has always been angry, the officers and soldiers of the Central Left Institute pretended to be Japanese to attack and kill the soldiers and civilians of Wusong, which was simply wanton and lawless.

Liangchen said angrily: "If you don't avenge the dead soldiers and civilians, how can the younger generation serve the public." If you don't use thunderbolt means, how can the younger generation gain a foothold in this southeast. ”

"The old man never thought that these people would be so bold." The shock in Shen Yi's heart has not yet subsided.

"The younger generation knows that if a merchant has a profit, he can buy and sell; If there is a profit of two percent, the trade will be expanded; If there is a fifty percent profit, then dare to take risks; If it is a hundredfold, then the law is useless to them. Lida more than three times, murder and arson are pediatric. ”

Considering the complicated relationship between Shen's Zhejiang party and maritime businessmen, Wei Liangchen did not name the Fujian and Zhejiang maritime merchants as the murderers behind the scenes, but through the "profit theory", he secretly pointed out the real culprit, and also told Shen that he was not a young junior who didn't know anything.

Shen was silent for a moment after hearing this, and said: "Benefit, everyone yearns for it, this nature." Looking at Wei Liangchen again, he praised, "I don't want you to have such profound insights in this benefit, but the old man admires it." ”

Wei Liangchen hurriedly bowed and said: "Xianggong is making fun of the juniors, the juniors are just feeling, the so-called bustling is not for profit." ”

"It's rare that you know so much, let's just say, you came to the old man, do you want the old man to solve the Dinghai matter for you, or do you want to ask the old man to do something else for you?"

Shen Yi pointed to the pile of silver tickets in the box, "The old man is useless." ”

Liangchen was overjoyed in his heart, and he hurriedly got up and bowed, and said very sincerely: "The younger generation is here, not to disturb the minister for the matter of Dinghaiwei, but to ask the minister to come forward to preside over the maritime affairs. ”

"The old man came forward to preside over the maritime affairs?" This request made Shen Cheng really stunned.

Liangchen hurriedly said: "Nowadays, the maritime profits, in fact, I only get one-tenth, and the remaining ninety percent is owned by the Haikou and Western countries, so the younger generation wants to reform the maritime affairs and integrate the various forces of coastal officials, civilians and businessmen, in order to take back the ninety percent of the profits that are obtained by outsiders." ”

Immediately afterwards, Liangchen said the theory of "sharing the cake" that he had long been familiar with in his heart.

Shen always nodded his head.

"I have the strongest maritime power in our country, but now we can't get involved in the maritime profits, and only a few merchants can get it, so we can't avoid the loss of the country. Therefore, if we can integrate the forces of all countries and get the consent of Your Majesty, within three or five years, this great maritime interest will roll into our China. ”

After Liangchen finished speaking, he pointed out that if this plan can be implemented, the interests of his maritime special zone and Fujian and Zhejiang maritime merchants will not conflict, on the contrary, Fujian and Zhejiang maritime merchants can also double their profits from it, which can be described as a win-win situation for both parties.

How can a person who can be the first assistant not be able to analyze whether what Wei Liangchen said is feasible or not, whether it is true or false.

"What do you want to do?"

Shen Zheng did not raise objections to what Wei Liangchen said, but directly asked him about the reality.

"The younger generation intends to play Your Majesty, with the naval division of the younger generation and the officers and soldiers of Zhejiang and Fujian provinces, first collect the east, and then collect the Ryukyus, garrison the village, set up a naval division to block the north and south, collect fees from the ships, and use these two places as my Daming sea trade base, so that the sea trade is no longer subject to outsiders."

This is the first step, and the second step can only be decided if the Ryukyus and Taiwan are taken first.

The second step will definitely be to attack Japan.

But Liangchen didn't talk to Shen Yiyi, because it was this old man who decided not to recruit Japan.

In his bones, Shen has always been a traditional scholar, and he still rejects expeditions to other countries.

"Although Dongfan has not been returned to our dynasty, our dynasty has governance in Penghu, and there are also my Han people living on Dongfan Island, so it is natural to send troops to collect them. The Ryukyus are my Ming vassals, and now they are occupied by the Japanese people, and our country should be the Ryukyu Zhengguo and expel the Japanese people. This division is famous. As long as the prime minister is willing to preside over such important events, the younger generation is willing to be the forerunner. ”

Liangchen bowed deeply again.

Shen has always been a big tiger in Fujian and Zhejiang, and if this big tiger is moved out, the foxes and wolves below dare not have an opinion.
