Several cabinet ministers checked the love letter from Huang Liji's hand, and their faces suddenly became different. Zhang Ruitu couldn't help but support Huang Liji and said: "What Shoufu said is right, these scholars are stubborn, linking Wei Zhongxian to the army guarding the tomb out of Fengyang without authorization, and linking it with the cabinet ministers, and openly slandering the important ministers of the imperial court.

He also asked the imperial court to burn the "Three Dynasties Classics" and rehabilitate ** Xing, Gao Panlong, Yang Lian, Zheng Sanjun, Li Banghua, Wei Dazhong, Zuo Guangdou, Zhou Shunchang, Miao Changqi, Huang Zunsu, Li Yingsheng, Zhou Zongjian and other Donglin Party members, what do they want to do? Your Majesty, there must be Donglin Party people behind this matter..."

Seeing Zhang Ruitu gritting his teeth and shifting the spearhead from Shizi to the Donglin Party, Qian Qianyi had to stand up and defend his colleagues in the Donglin Party, "Zhang Gelao's words are inevitably overguessed, the world knows that the minister is also a member of the Donglin Party, but the minister has never heard of it, there are Donglin Party members involved in this matter, and please ask Your Majesty to investigate." ”

Seeing that a feasible solution had not yet been discussed, his cabinet ministers looked like they were fighting among themselves, and Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but slander in his heart.

Zhu Youzhen interrupted the argument of the cabinet ministers and said coldly: "I asked you to solve the problem, not to create a problem for me.

Mr. Zhang, whether there is anyone behind the Shizi is planning cannot be concluded by guessing. In the future, if there is no evidence, we should not say it casually and create contradictions among our colleagues.

As for Mr. Qian, I believe you are not involved in this matter. But the Donglin Party is all over the world, the good and the bad are uneven, the members are complicated, you can't wait to jump out and pack the ticket just because you hear the three words of the Donglin Party. This will not be a good thing for you or the Donglin Party.

When I ascended the throne, I already said that now the Ming Dynasty is in the autumn of three emptiness and four ends, and everyone must work together to tide over the difficulties, instead of fighting against each other in the party and tearing each other down.

I will never allow the chaos in the court during the reign of the imperial brother to continue to repeat. What is the incident of the eunuch party and the Donglin party, it is not allowed to argue, let go of the burden of the past, for the future of the Ming Dynasty, unite and move forward, is the principle that you gentlemen should grasp when doing things. ”

Chongzhen suddenly became angry, and immediately quieted down several cabinet ministers, not because they were afraid of the emperor's anger, but because they were afraid of pushing the emperor to their opposite.

In fact, as Chongzhen said, since the new emperor ascended the throne for a year, a new political balance has now been reached in the imperial court. The Donglim Party and the so-called eunuch party also kept peace in the DPRK and China for the time being, and most of them, except for some victims of previous party disputes, did not want to exacerbate the conflict.

After all, they joined the Donglin Party, in addition to being attracted by the concept of the Donglin Party, most of them hoped to be taken care of by the people in the same party in their careers, rather than joining the Donglin Party for the sake of brutal party struggles with others.

After watching the ministers calm down, Zhu Youzhen said slightly: "No matter who planned this incident behind his back, his purpose is to make discord within the court.

All of you are the pillars of my Ming Dynasty and the role models of the DPRK and China's officials. Your attitude determines the advance and retreat of the officials in the Ming Dynasty of our Ming Dynasty. Only if you unite first, and want to disturb my Ming enemies, there will be no chance.

Mr. Huang, and gentlemen, I am here to formally ask you that the Cabinet must be unanimous on this matter, and you can first hold an internal meeting to formally discuss a resolution, but no one is allowed to express its position alone or in private.

I will not say anything to you gentlemen about settling accounts after the fact, but I would like to remind you that every Cabinet Minister should be a responsible politician first and foremost, and you should be responsible for your words and actions. ”

Chongzhen's fierce words made Huang Li extremely relieved. The cabinet unanimously stated that the emperor was obviously protecting them, and the cabinet ministers who had been entangled with Wei Zhongxian in the past.

Huang Liji figured this out, so he first expressed his attitude to Chongzhen: "The minister will definitely abide by His Majesty's imperial order, and will never express any personal opinion on this matter." ”

Hearing Huang Liji's promise, Zhu Youzhen shifted his gaze to the faces of the other cabinet ministers, but hesitated for a while, starting with Zhang Ruitu and Shi Fenglai, until Qian Qianyi ended, every cabinet minister made a public guarantee in front of Chongzhen.

Zhu Youzhen nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "Discuss what attitude the cabinet will take on this matter, and wait for this matter to be dealt with, and then you will go back to discuss." Then depending on the situation, we will decide whether to publish it in the Ming Times.

As for now, there is no need for the entire cabinet team to come forward to deal with this matter, so I will let Mr. Qian stay, and the others will go back to deal with the work in hand. Mr. Huang, what do you think? ”

Huang Liji exchanged glances with Zhang Ruitu and Shi Fenglai, and nodded in agreement with Chongzhen's opinion. After all, the love letters of these scholars are mainly aimed at the three of them, except for Xu Guangqi and Qian Qianyi, basically the entire cabinet members are involved.

If they stay now, they may not be able to solve the problem, but they are likely to be humiliated by these young scholars who do not know the height of the sky, which obviously damages their official reputation.

It's better to let Qian Qianyi stay, as a member of the Donglin Party, those scholars will not be too excited, which is conducive to solving the problem. And if something really goes wrong and the blame is put on him, I think few people in the cabinet will oppose it.

Several cabinet ministers came eagerly, but they were not slow to leave, as if the back of their butts was on fire. Zhu Youzhen gathered his cloak and said gently to Qian Qianyi: "Mr. Qian, let's go down to meet these scholars together." ”

The winter in Beijing was indeed unusually cold for the southerners among these scholars. In the past, they stayed in the room, lit the fine silver charcoal, coupled with the new glass windows in the capital, the room was as bright as the outside of the house, but it was as warm as spring, a few people sat around the fire, warmed a pot of rice wine, and exchanged poems, simply not too happy, where they would feel that the winter in the north was so cold.

But today, standing outside the empty left gate of Chang'an from early in the morning, coupled with the north wind blowing from time to time, these southern scholars finally felt that the clothes they used to spend the winter in the south were still a little inadequate for the winter in Beijing.

Except for a few scholars with good family backgrounds, who didn't feel much because they were covered with fur clothes on the outside of their clothes, the other southern scholars could only suffer hard. One of them, a scholar from a poor family, had the thinnest clothes, and his face had turned pale.

Nearly 300 scholars have lost the high-spirited appearance they had when they ran over in the morning. They kept rubbing their kneeling numb legs, and although everyone had brought straw mats, they all felt that there was no obstacle between their knees and the stone slabs.

Zhang Pu, who was kneeling at the front of all the scholars, was cheering up his colleagues around him, and at the same time looked at the closed left door of Chang'an worriedly. He was really afraid that the emperor would ignore them, so they would make themselves into it.

Zhang Pu is also very embarrassed about the current scene, yesterday the colleagues of the Yantai Ten Sons Alliance, after hearing about Yuan Liqing's impeachment of Xu Xianchun and Yang Suoxiu in the court, they came back and told everyone.

After some discussion, everyone decided to visit Yuan Liqing, who they considered to be in solidarity with the righteous people of the DPRK and China, and also to build momentum for Yuan Liqing.

Yuan Liqing has been in the sea for a long time and has rich experience in political struggles, how could he label his opponents as forming a party and disrupting the government, and naturally turned them away.

But Zhang Pu and others met outside Yuan's mansion, Henan scholars who also came to visit Yuan Liqing, and some students from Yenching University.

Everyone is a high-spirited young man, and those who can come to meet Yuan Liqing are naturally not far from each other in terms of political tendencies, so they chatted about speculation.

In the end, everyone agreed to go to the auditorium of Yenching University to hear the reason for this incident. A Henan scholar told his story in the auditorium of Yenching University, and Xu Xianchun and Yang Xiu's misdeeds, which naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of the students.

Zhang Pu and the others naturally spared no effort in the crusade against the eunuchs, and the people who participated in the Yantai Ten Sons Alliance were all famous literati after all, so they soon became the leaders of the students present.

Unlike the older scholars of the Yantai Ten Sons Alliance, the students of Yenching University are all selected, young people around 20 years old. Although Yenching University is much more relaxed than the Guozijian in the past, the courses in the university are still full.

At their age, they are locked up on campus all day to study, and they don't have so many entertainment projects in later generations, or talk about love on campus or something, this blood is naturally more than a scholar like Zhang Pu who has seen the hot and cold world.

Therefore, after a few words, the people of the Yantai Ten Sons Alliance, who were pushed to the leadership position, instigated the intention of the children in Henan, and the response of the young students, inexplicably became the leaders of this Fuque Shangshu.

Zhang Pu, who is famous for his outstanding literary name, also had to write a letter of love to condemn Wei Zhongxiantong and the remnants of the eunuch party left in the cabinet and the court under the recommendation of everyone.

God knows, although Zhang Pu wants to win over the scholars from the north and south, so as to lay the foundation for himself to take charge of the government after entering the official career, he never thought of being in the limelight.

However, at yesterday's meeting, he was also forced to go to Liangshan, and he had to maintain the image of his painstaking management, a Shilin leader who inherited Donglin's ambitions.

Zhang Pu was unwilling to back down at such a moment, thereby disappointing his followers. He didn't want to let Xia Yunyi, who had been in the limelight recently, seize the position of the leader of the Yantai Ten Sons Alliance.

Just as he cautiously glanced at Xia Yunyi, who was one position away from him, he found that this person was taking off his fur and handing it to a thinly clothed scholar behind him, giving him to protect him from the cold.

"Buying people's hearts." Zhang Pu couldn't help but flash this thought in his heart, he looked down at the fur suit on his body, and immediately relieved himself, planning to take care of the thin fellow villagers behind him.

At this moment, the left door of Chang'an, which was closed in front of everyone, was opened, and the guards who stopped in front of them also wanted to disperse on both sides.

Zhang Pu suddenly stopped what he was doing and looked up. I saw a handsome young man, wearing a fur cloak, walking out of the left gate of Chang'an surrounded by everyone.

"Long live my emperor...", a scholar reacted first, and then the scholars shouted long live one after another.
