Gao Yihuan in the Heavenly Pavilion heard that Sun Kewang was attacking Donghu Kingdom, and his brows furrowed, Donghu was a vassal of the Great Wei, and Sun Kewang attacked Donghu to turn his face with the Great Wei.

Gao Yihuan stood with his hands in his hands and said in a deep voice: "Sun Kewang is really not stopping. I originally thought that after he declared himself a minister to me, he would be at peace for a while, and he didn't want to stir up trouble again. ”

Gao Yihuan looked at Li Yan and asked, "What's going on?" ”

Li Yan said: "The envoy of Donghu only said that the Zhou army entered Donghu and the troops were coming to Donghu Wangcheng, and did not provide much information, but the minister has already asked people to collect information, and Yungui should soon have a good time." ”

Gao Yihuan bowed slightly, and Li Yan saluted: "Your Majesty, if Sun Kewang attacks Donghu for no reason, the imperial court will definitely take action." The minister thought that the turmoil in the court should be over. ”

Now the imperial court is still in turmoil, people's hearts are uncertain, the war between the southeast coast and the Ming army has not yet seen a turning point, and Gao Yihuan really has no energy to take care of the affairs of Southeast Asia.

For the sake of Donghu, it seems not worth sending troops into Southeast Asia and spending national strength.

There is a well-known quagmire, the southeast is not quiet, Sun Kewang did not attack the Great Wei, and Gao Yihuan did not want to send troops.

And with the current state of Wei, it is indeed impossible to interfere in Southeast Asia, but after all, the subject country is attacked, which does not mean that it will be very faceless, and it will damage the majesty of the great power, and it will be difficult for the younger brother to take it in the future.

Gao Yihuan groaned for a while, "When I canonized the king of Donghu and included the Donghu Kingdom in the tributary system, I wanted to use Donghu to encircle Sun Kewang and seal Sun Kewang's west, but I don't want it to become a trouble now!" ”

Li Yan said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the original strategy was not wrong, Donghu did block Sun Kewang for many years. If it weren't for the internal turmoil in Great Wei this time, Sun Kewang would have seen the opportunity and knew that my Great Wei had no time to take care of Donghu, and Sun Kewang would not have been able to send troops to Donghu! ”

The meaning of these words is still to persuade Gao Yihuan to stabilize the situation and calm people's hearts as soon as possible.

Gao Yihuan turned around and looked at Li Yan, knowing that he was a person who understood, and knew that Huang Zongxi did not have so much energy to pry the situation of the Great Wei, and only the Emperor of the Great Wei could really control the situation, and only the Emperor of the Great Wei could end the turmoil.

Gao Yihuan estimated that Li Yan had already seen this matter, and he was actually the one who benefited from this struggle, and even one of the promoters and initiators.

As the first assistant, Li Yan could not be unclear about the affairs of the DPRK and China.

Gao Yihuan recalled that Li Yan actually hinted at him a few times about Chen Mingxia, but every time he didn't say it explicitly, he just gave Chen Mingxia some soil from time to time, slowly shaking Chen Mingxia's weight in Gao Yihuan's heart, and waiting for the conflict to break out, he could completely knock down Chen Mingxia.

In the onlookers, Chen Mingxia fell, Yang Yongyu left, Li Jiantai also dismounted, and the cabinet walked a little half, and in the end, Li Yan must clean up the mess.

Gao Yihuan took a breath, Chen Mingxia's fall should also be the situation that Li Yan wanted to see, and even Li Yan took advantage of him.

"Do you think that's enough, sir?" Gao Yihuan looked at Li Yan.

Li Yan's back was cold, he didn't pretend to be confused, he saluted and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks it's enough, if you continue, you will hurt the country." ”

Gao Yihuan bowed slightly, Li Yan has been watching, at this time, the battle came out, it means that a large number of old bureaucrats who formed parties for personal gain have been driven out of the imperial court, or demoted and exiled, and the Xungui group has also been hit, if it continues, it is indeed difficult for the imperial court to operate, and it will also affect the morale of the army.

"Okay!" Gao Yihuan waved his hand, "I will consider Mr.'s words, and when the time comes, I will need Mr. to stabilize the situation for me!" ”

Gao Yihuan's meaning is obvious, he promised Li Yan and asked Li Yan to clean up the mess.

……

A few days later, Gao Yicheng of Yungui sent a note to explain in detail the matter of Donghu.

It was mentioned in the report that Sun Kewang went south to Malacca, and the king of Donghu took the opportunity to sneak attack Siam, but he didn't want to be tricked, and the general Bai Mang was killed, and Sun Kewang's troops came to the city.

This news surprised Gao Yihuan, but it was not because Sun Kewang's troops came to Donghu Wangcheng, a few days ago the Donghu envoy arrived, Gao Yihuan knew the news.

What shocked him was that Sun Kewang actually attacked Malacca, which made Gao Yihuan very unhappy, and he had a feeling that his own things had been snatched away.

If Sun Kewang occupies Donghu and controls Malacca, his strength will inevitably multiply, and Wei will not only have no way to take Sun Kewang, but even the future trade in Nanyang will inevitably be affected by Sun Kewang.

This news prompted Gao Yihuan to make up his mind not to expand the case, and it just so happened that Gao Yihuan's nephew Li Hu committed suicide at home because he could not bear the impeachment.

Li Hu was captured by the Ming army and imprisoned for many years, and was only rescued after the Wei army captured Nanjing.

He actually has no bad deeds on him, but the Southern Party with this Donglin gene, the kung fu of chasing the wind and catching shadows, can be said to be quite powerful, making all kinds of black materials, saying that he betrayed the Great Wei during his captivity, and also made up all kinds of things out of nothing.

Li Hu couldn't bear the pressure and chose to commit suicide, which let Gao Yihuan know that the movement had indeed expanded and began to hurt innocents.

In the early Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang had several major cases and killed more than 100,000 people, and the Tianjing Incident in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom also affected tens of thousands of people, not to mention the later ones.

Gao Yihuan immediately issued an order to investigate the matter, and reprimanded Huang Zongxi, after taking charge of the platform, for conniving at his subordinates to slander the members of the imperial court, ordering Li Yan to purge the government and the opposition, strictly prohibit slander, and investigate the responsibility.

The style of writing is a means for the emperor to control the ministers, and he can supervise the work of the ministers and make fewer mistakes, which is originally intended to supervise and supervise.

However, when some unscrupulous officials formed a party, the role of supervision and supervision gradually became smaller, and instead became a means for the party to fight against differences.

Anyway, when you hear the wind, you don't need to provide evidence, and you can fabricate all kinds of things, attack the opponent by chasing the wind and shadows, and make the opponent stink.

In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, this kind of atmosphere gradually prevailed, and the officials did not have to be responsible for speaking anyway, they not only attacked dissidents, but also criticized the national policy of the imperial court and the front-line generals at will, pointing fingers, and influencing national affairs.

Gao Yihuan reprimanded Huang Zongxi, strictly forbade slander, and held him accountable, which made the platform lose his voice suddenly.

Huang Zongxi hurriedly wrote a letter to ask for guilt, saying that he would manage the platform well, thinking that this matter would pass like this, and the emperor would behave like this.

After all, in Huang Zongxi's view, these things were actually acquiesced and supported by the emperor, and he did so in accordance with the emperor's wishes.

However, Li Hu's death angered many nobles, who did not dare to speak, but when they saw that the emperor reprimanded Huang Zongxi, they immediately wrote to impeach and launched a counterattack.
