However, the downside is that Wei Zhongxian's suppression is tantamount to removing the internal mountainism for the Donglin Party. After Wei Zhongxian's suppression, the connection between the remaining members of the Donglin Party was strengthened, and the voice of the Donglin Party began to become unified.

If the Tunglin Party had a brilliant leader and a complete political program, the Tunglin Party might have been transformed into the prototype of a modern political party, like the Whigs who suppressed royal power in the Magna Carta movement in England.

But it is clear that a political alliance that relies on the study of academic thought cannot do this, and academic differences alone have torn the alliance apart. The reason why the current Donglin Party people seem to be in the same breath and speak with one voice is nothing more than because under the cruel blow of the eunuch party, these remnants of the Donglin Party have to huddle together to keep warm.

Since Wei Zhongxian left Beijing and Cui Chengxiu took over the love, the voices of the Donglin Party in the court have gradually begun to get louder. And after losing Wei Zhongxian and Cui Chengxiu, the two core figures of the eunuch party, the eunuch party immediately became divided.

If it weren't for Zhu Youzhen pulling a bias on the side, the DPRK and China would have become the world of the Donglin Party long ago. In fact, Zhu Youzhen's requirements are not high, as long as these officials who are confronting the Donglin Party in the DPRK and China can contain the Donglin Party, do not let the voice of the Donglin Party become a uniform voice at the court meeting, and let Zhu Youzhen slowly cultivate reform manpower.

But Zhu Youzhen found that he really overestimated the combat effectiveness of these eunuchs, and once these eunuchs lost the support of the factory guards, they became weak chickens who were ravaged by the Donglin party. After listening to so many court debates, Zhu Youzhen finally found out why the eunuchs were always at a disadvantage.

Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the officials of the Ming Dynasty have not been adjusted. From the monthly salary of the first-grade official 87 stones, to the monthly salary of the nine-grade official 5 stones. If this month's salary is for the official to use alone, then it is probably okay.

But if each official has to support his family, hire servants, and support a large family, this is far from enough. Moreover, the Ming Dynasty issued a fortune and a distinction between true color and folded color, that is to say, it is not a full distribution of rice, but also silver taels and treasure money.

Taking Hai Rui as an example, when he was the commander of Chun'an County, the actual salary he received for a year was 12 stones of rice, 2,749 taels of silver and 360 yuan in banknotes. 360 Guan Bao banknotes are almost worthless, 12 stones of rice are about 12 taels of silver, and the income is about 40 taels of silver a year. And Hai Rui's family has more than a dozen people, so Hai Rui's purchase of meat will become news.

This low salary system made it difficult for the low-level officials of the Ming Dynasty to make a living on official salaries, and it was impossible for high-ranking officials to rely on official salaries to maintain their luxurious lives. Corruption and bribery have become the unspoken rules that Ming officials know well, so the main crime of impeachment of the eunuch party by the Donglin party is a corruption word.

As for the Donglin Party itself, most of its members are big landlords and big businessmen, and the Donglin Party's way of embezzlement is relatively hidden, and they embezzle the country's normal taxes by resisting commercial taxes, and they accept relatively few bribes.

Therefore, the image of the Donglin Party among the people is much better than that of most of the eunuch members who are from poor families or small landlords. And the eunuch party, which lacked confidence, could only be speechless when the Donglin party attacked the fact of corruption and bribery.

If it was when Wei Zhongxian was in the court, the embarrassed and angry eunuchs would use the factory guard to directly flip the table. However, Zhu Youzhen would not allow it, and the factory guards were directly involved in this kind of political struggle.

Because the factory guard represents the imperial power, Zhu Youzhen can understand that he pushed the eunuch party out to balance the Donglin party, but using the factory guard to deal with the Donglin party broke the rules of the game.

In a political struggle, if either side uses means other than the rules of the game, it will eventually become a game with no political bottom line. Moreover, Daming's factory guards cannot be regarded as a real spy organization, because the area that Daming's factory guards can really control is within 100 miles of the capital.

At the same time that the eunuchs used factory guards to suppress the Donglin Party in the capital, the gentry from all over the country also stood on the side of the Donglin Party. Just when the eunuchs in Beijing were at their most arrogant, the gentry from all over the country also began to incite the people to attack the local tax eunuchs. As a result, the eunuchs controlled the capital, and the Donglin gentry controlled the place, which became a spectacle in the last years of the Apocalypse.

Of course, Zhu Youzhen will not allow this situation to continue, and this kind of confrontation between the central and local governments will only benefit Liaodong's Houjin in addition to wasting national strength.

If you want to deal with the Donglin Party, you need to divide the Donglin Party first. For a long time, Zhu Youzhen has been thinking about how to divide the Donglin Party. And the appearance of Liu Zongzhou made him suddenly have a bold idea.

A Donglin veteran who was excluded in the Donglin Party, if Zhu Youzhen was promoted to the position of leader of the Donglin Party, then these Donglin Party members pinched their noses and approved? Or is it a good show of infighting in front of the world?

This is also the reason why Zhu Youzhen deliberately took the matter solemnly and walked down the Danqi, only by raising Liu Zongzhou infinitely, this Taoist can suppress other Donglin party members and become the leader of Donglin in the eyes of the world's corporals.

But if the inside of this Taoist and the outside he is showing now are two completely different sides, then everything Zhu Youzhen is doing now will become a weapon that Liu Zongzhou uses to deal with him.

So for Chongzhen, this is a political adventure. If Su Changqing had really been engaged in politics in his previous life, he would definitely not have done so. It is one of the basic principles of a politician to avoid any risk-taking actions that are like gambling games.

But Su Changqing is just a project manager, he only knows that if a project has the possibility of making a profit, he should take it down first, and then try his best to make the project profitable, instead of calculating in detail how much profit there is, and then deciding whether to do the project.

Only then did Zhu Youzhen turn his gaze to Li Kuilong, looked at the right deputy capital imperial history, and said calmly: "The right deputy capital imperial history will conduct an assessment of the six departments and the officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and for those who are only keen on party disputes and blindly ignore state affairs, they must be cleared out." In addition, you should consult with a few more imperial historians, formulate a few rules of conduct on how to manage the officials of the department, and in the future, set up a permanent body to be responsible for picketing the officials of the department, and the right deputy capital of the imperial history will be in charge of this organization..."

Qian Qianyi, who was standing not far from Chongzhen, looked at Liu Zongzhou's back indifferently, if Chongzhen walked down the Danqi just now, he was still worried about Liu Zongzhou in his heart. But when Chongzhen personally helped Liu Zongzhou up, Qian Qianyi already wanted to press Liu Zongzhou down with his gaze.

The emperor's move of stepping down from the Danqi during the court meeting can be regarded as a loss of honor. But if it is to personally support the minister, as long as the minister is not a treacherous person, the emperor's actions will be regarded as a noble act of Corporal Lixian.

From the Qin and Han dynasties to the Ming Dynasty, Chinese Confucianism from the rise to maturity, not only cast a unified central dynasty, but also put a very heavy ethical order on this society.

In the Ming Dynasty, the emperor was called the monarch's father, representing the dual power of the king and the father. No matter how the Donglin Party attacked the imperial power that infringed on their own interests, their starting point was to persuade the emperor to maintain the imperial power, and the defect was the emperor himself, not the imperial power itself unlimited, which was just the opposite of the understanding of the new British aristocracy who first started the industrial revolution.

It is the dream of every scholar to be appreciated by the king. And like Chongzhen's behavior towards Liu Zongzhou just now, it is no longer a simple appreciation, this is the way to treat the countrymen.

The courtesy that exceeds the specifications means that Chongzhen no longer treats Liu Zongzhou as an ordinary minister. As long as Chongzhen's actions are spread today, Liu Zongzhou will automatically become the object of admiration for the world's scholars.

"If you treat me as a countryman, I will repay you as a countryman." This kind of taxi culture, which has been handed down from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, is deeply rooted in the spiritual depths of every scholar. Therefore, when the Mongol and Yuan invaded, the literati and military generals assisted the foreign tribes to suppress the resistance of their compatriots. Because these people use this kind of scholar culture to wash away the guilt of betraying the nation and the country.

Qian Qianyi watched everything that happened in front of him, and felt like he had a nightmare. From this moment on, all his previous plans have come to naught, and from now on, the Donglin Party will only recognize the leader of Donglin Liu Zongzhou, and the political tacit understanding he reached with Han Xiangyun and the political exchange with other Donglin elders have all failed at this moment.

Qian Qianyi had already heard about Liu Zongzhou's recital yesterday, such an empty recital would inevitably be disgusted by Chongzhen, and Liu Zongzhou, who had just been recalled, might soon be driven home.

Therefore, from the beginning of the last dynasty, Qian Qianyi looked at this stubborn Donglin Confucian with some pity. But he also has a lot of relief in his heart, which means that there is one less competitor in the party.

However, Chongzhen's unreasonable actions made Qian Qianyi's calculations all come to naught, and also created a political peak for Qian Qianyi that could not be climbed. Liu Zongzhou is 49 years old and Qian Qianyi is 45 years old, and there is only a 4-year difference between the two.

In terms of age, Liu Zongzhou and Qian Qianyi belong to the same generation. This means that as long as there are no accidents, Liu Zongzhou will firmly block Qian Qianyi's political path.

Whether it is from fame, financial resources, or the support of the Donglin Party, Qian Qianyi believes that no one in the Donglin Party can stop him, and his road to the throne of the first assistant to the cabinet will be blocked. Although it seems a little difficult to serve as the first assistant at the age of less than 50, Qian Qianyi has already thought about it, and maybe he can push the 68-year-old Cheng Jiming, who is good with him, to the position of the first assistant and clear the way for him to take over as the first assistant.

But now all this has become a dream, Chongzhen just made an out-of-the-ordinary move, and between Qian Qianyi and the first assistant throne, he forcibly inserted a Liu Zongzhou. Moreover, Liu Zongzhou's age has just reached the lower age limit of serving as the first assistant.

Although the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty is not good, since Chongzhen treats Liu Zongzhou as a national soldier, he will not destroy this signboard by himself, because that will only hurt Chongzhen's own reputation.

Suddenly, all the remnants of the eunuch party disappeared from Qian Qianyi's mind, and only Liu Zongzhou, who had his back to him, was left in his eyes. From this moment on, there was only one enemy left of him.

While Qian Qianyi was thinking wildly, he didn't realize that his closest disciple Qu Shiyun was constantly giving him a look.
