As soon as he arrived in the capital, he had a dispute with Comrade Donglin, and Liu Zongzhou, who had been cautious and independent for so many years, was also a little unhappy. State affairs are already so difficult, and what the party is diligently seeking is to give priority to revenge, and there is no intention of forbearance for the country.

"The people in our party talk about the interests of the people every day, but when it comes time to act, they have long forgotten the people of the Ming Dynasty and only cared about the party and the differences." Liu Zongzhou found that he had left the capital for 3 years, but nothing had changed in the capital, and his heart was a little gloomy for a while.

Liu Zongzhou's student Wang Yuying stood aside, seemingly seeing an awkward atmosphere between the teacher and the director of the Ministry of Engineering.

Wang Yubei was much more eye-catching than another disciple, Chen Hongzhu, and he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Master Lu, the family teacher has been running around for many days, if you have anything to say, you might as well enter the door and talk about it." ”

Lu Chengyuan also reacted quickly, Liu Zongzhou just entered Beijing and opened his mouth to make peace with the eunuch party, he was in a hurry, he forgot about human etiquette, and directly argued with this somewhat pedantic Taoist gentleman at the gate of the courtyard.

After the death of the apocalypse, the eunuchs in the DPRK and the Donglin party have been clearly distinguished, such as Lu Chengyuan, Wang Shoulu and other Donglin party members who were not exposed before, and now they have also made their identities clear because of the impeachment of Wei Zhongxian and members of the eunuch party.

It can be said that the ministers of the DPRK and China, whether intentionally or unintentionally, have already made their positions clear in the impeachment of Wei Zhongxian, Choi Chengxiu, and others.

If it is developed according to the party struggle of Wanli or the Apocalypse Dynasty, it should be that the two parties in the court are fighting people's brains into dog brains. In order to divert the attention of the civil servants from the party struggle and the affairs of the country, the emperor had to completely turn to one faction and completely purge the other faction from the court.

Originally, under the calculation of the Donglin Party, King Xin was only 17 years old, and as the prince of the Ming Dynasty, he had never received systematic education, and it was good to know a few words. In addition, after Tianqi became seriously ill, the Donglin Party arranged for people to slander the eunuch party's actions by King Xin's side.

A young man who has just ascended to the throne is confronted by the notorious eunuchs who control their own safety. In any case, the first reaction will be to take back the power of the eunuchs, which is a person's instinct to protect himself.

In gaining the trust of the new emperor, the civil official group has a natural advantage. Because they were not like eunuchs, they could not directly control the defenses of the palace, so they seemed to pose the least threat to the new emperor.

No matter which new emperor ascends the throne, he will hand over the power in the palace to his cronies, rather than allowing the cronies of the old emperor to hold the power that threatens his life, which is also human nature.

It was precisely because of this that the Donglin Party dared to provoke party disputes again without scrupulousness. Although Chongzhen's reaction was not all in the calculations of the Donglin party, Wei Zhongxian and Cui Chengxiu still left their posts after all.

These two people were the backbone of the eunuch party in the court and the outer court, and as soon as they left office, the eunuch party was immediately in chaos. But then Chongzhen's reaction was a little different, he didn't allow the Donglin party to take advantage of the victory to pursue, and directly cleaned up the eunuch henchmen who had no master.

When several low-level civil officials of the Donglin Party who had gone too far in the court were directly demoted out of the capital, the momentum of the Donglin Party couldn't help but stop.

And the eunuch party members, looking at this scene, thought that the opportunity to fight back had arrived, but the same eunuch party officials were also driven home by Chongzhen.

At this time, both the eunuch party and the Donglin party found that Chongzhen seemed to distrust both parties, and now they all temporarily restrained their deeds.

They dared to set off a party struggle, just because they thought that Chongzhen was inclined to themselves. But if Chongzhen has no position at all now, then everyone does not dare to take the risk of forcing Chongzhen to the opposite side.

Since Chongzhen did not show that he was influenced by the Donglin Party, he hated the Eunuch Party. The Donglin Party members thought of finding a teacher for Chongzhen, so as to influence Chongzhen to lean towards the Donglin Party members.

Originally, Wang Shoulu strongly advocated recommending Suzhou Wenwen Zhenmeng, who was not only the queen of the famous ministers, but also the champion of the second year of the Apocalypse.

But Chongzhen only agreed to recall Wen Zhen and Meng to return to the dynasty, and did not approve of this champion as his teacher.

In this way, the only candidate in the Donglin Party who can surpass Wen Zhenmeng's knowledge and fame and become the teacher of the Son of Heaven is Liu Zongzhou, a well-known Confucian master in China.

Liu Zongzhou's moral articles and character are blameless within the party, but his political tendency to advocate reconciliation is not liked by the majority of Donglin Party members. However, in order to ensure the appearance of unity within the Donglin Party in front of the eunuch party, although the Donglin party members have quite opinions about Liu Zongzhou, they will never show it in public.

Although the current leader of Donglin should be Liu Zongzhou according to his qualifications, most of the Donglin Party members in the dynasty did not want the emperor to get close to this pedantic Taoist in their eyes.

If it weren't for the fact that the emperor couldn't look down on Zhenmeng, and the Donglin Party people really couldn't put forward a more suitable candidate than Liu Zongzhou, the Donglin Party people in Beijing would not have thought of pushing Liu Zongzhou up at all.

But it is precisely because of this that Lu Chengyuan hopes that this Mr. Qishan can change his stubborn temper and unite the party members to clear out the traitors in the court first. When the Donglin Party took charge of the government, they slowly dealt with the problems of the party members.

However, after three years of not seeing him, this Mr. Qishan is still so stubborn. As soon as he got out of the car, he poured a basin of cold water on Lu Chengyuan, who rushed out to greet him, causing him to forget the etiquette and debate with Liu Zongzhou directly at the door.

Now that Liu Zongzhou's disciples have come out to play a round, Lu Chengyuan has naturally sobered up, this Mr. Qishan himself has an anachronistic evaluation in the party, and his own door is obviously not a good place to talk. It is better to welcome them into the house first, and then find a few more party members to persuade them, the people in the party have always been in the same spirit, under the persuasion of so many comrades, even the stubborn Mr. Qishan must reconsider one or two.

After figuring out this layer, Lu Chengyuan immediately decided not to mention the topic just now, politely invited Liu Zongzhou to enter the door, and instructed his servants to take a few carts to detour to the back door to unload Mr. Qishan's luggage.

In the evening, the news of Liu Zongzhou's entry into Beijing had reached the ears of the Donglin Party in the capital.

Wen Zhenmeng, who arrived in the capital a few days earlier, was quite unimpressed by Liu Zongzhou's arrival, he already knew that his chance to be recommended as the emperor's teacher was vetoed by Chongzhen, and the Donglin party wanted Liu Zongzhou to replace him as the emperor's teacher.

Although all the scholars in the world praised Liu Zongzhou's knowledge, Wen Zhen Mengke, who was well-educated, did not think so. Now the Donglin Party actually thinks that Liu Zongzhou's knowledge can surpass him, and Chongzhen will make Liu Zongzhou the emperor because of this, which undoubtedly hurts Wen Zhenmeng's self-esteem.

Therefore, when the news of Liu Zongzhou's entry into Beijing came, Wen Zhenmeng rejected his nephew Yao Ximeng's proposal to visit. Seeing that this uncle, who was no more than 5 or 6 years older than himself, sank his face, and walked into the inner room unhappily. Yao Ximeng, who knew why, could only shake his head.

In a mansion in Jinhua Hutong, Qian Qianyi was drinking and chatting with his fellow villager and disciple Qu Shiyun. When the servant brought the news of Liu Zongzhou's entry into Beijing, Qian Qianyi said to his disciples with emotion: "Our party has really declined, 5 or 6 years ago, our party can be described as full of talents, and there are only Li Xiuwu, Ye Taishan, Zhao Yuhe, Gao Cunzhi, Wei Kongshi and others as the mouthpiece of our party. After the disaster of the eunuch party, except for the stubborn and conceited Wen Xiangnan, it was this stubborn Mr. Yushan. ”

After arching his hand, Qu Shiyun said with a smile: "Now that the essence of our party is withering, only the talent of the teacher can reorganize the momentum of our party, and the name of the teacher, the leader of Donglin, is well deserved today." After tomorrow's appearance, His Majesty must rely on the teacher's great talent. ”

Qian Qianyi shook his hand and said with a smile on his face: "Hey, you are bringing me a high hat." What is the leader of Donglin, it's just a hat that the eunuchs are buttoning up indiscriminately. Among our party, there are still old-timers such as Qiao Jifu and Han Xiangyun, when will it be my turn to be the leader. ”

"Otherwise, today's situation, the teacher must fight. Since our party was suppressed by the eunuchs, although the princes have been a good man, the essence of our party has really been burned. Although Mr. Yushan is stubborn, some of his words are still good.

He said that our party: between the words and the silence of our generation, there are many discussions. Often for the sake of fame, you can't really serve the country. Only care about winning a good name for oneself, and don't think about the country.

If this goes on for a long time, our party will be abandoned by Shilin. As a generation of scholars, the teacher was admired by the scholars. If the teacher is in charge of Donglin, then the scholars of the world will enter the gate wall of my Donglin, and the momentum of our party's revival will have a future.

Qiao Gong is more than 70 years old, what energy does he have to lead our party? I heard that there is no seed of reading among the descendants of Qiao Gong, but he brought Wang Duo of the Township Party as his son and nephew, and wanted to entrust him with the future.

Although Wang Duo is from a poor family, he is outstanding in learning, and he is not only valued by Qiao Gong, but also a disciple of Yuan Liqing and Lord Yuan. If the teacher takes the initiative to show favor to him, and Wang Juesi says something, then Qiao Gong will support the teacher in the party.

Han Xiangyun has served in four dynasties, and his fame and talent are all temporary choices, and the original teacher cannot compete with him. However, I have received a letter from Father Julius Ai that he has been summoned by the Kinnige Pavilion to come to Beijing in the near future to serve as the head of the Translation Institute.

Xu Zhixian, Li Liang'an and others have already entered the university, and they will be close to His Majesty in the future. If the teacher can help, Han Xiangyun will have to avoid the teacher. Qu Shiyun commented on the elders of Donglin, trying to analyze their weaknesses for the teacher, and the quickness of his mind, so that Qian Qianyi had to be impressed.

However, in the end, Qu Shiyun still hesitated before continuing with a solemn face: "The only one who can be worried about the sons of Donglin is the only Sun Kaiyanger. Master Sun was the teacher of the first emperor and has always been respected by the first emperor. The relationship between the present and the first emperor is deep, and the people respected by the first emperor will not be despised by the present. ”

Qian Qianyi couldn't help frowning when he heard this: "Sun Kaiyang is certainly respected by the first emperor, but he didn't have it in the past. 'Comments? In addition, after the defeat of Liuhe and the loss of troops, Sun Kaiyang asked to be dismissed and returned to his hometown, he was not driven out of the capital by the eunuchs, how could he recall the capital without authorization? ”
