Chapter 161 Boss Donglin arrives in Beijing
Chapter 162 Boss Donglin arrives in Beijing
These days, because of Han Xu's death, the capital is experiencing the most chaotic period in the history of the Tianqi Dynasty.
First, Tianqi dismissed the government and did not convene the ministers to discuss matters for half a month. All the edicts were answered by the Chief of Ceremonies, which led to internal and external isolation and mutual suspicion.
Secondly, seven ministers in the cabinet were impeached by officials because of Han Xu's death, and the chief minister Ye Xianggao was impeached by officials for his inaction. There were also bachelors Zuo Guangdou and Yang Lian who dared to remonstrate and were imprisoned.
Liu Zongzhou was too angry to speak out, so he could only send a letter to Liu Yijing to return to Beijing to take charge of the overall situation of Donglin. Xu Guangqi was in Jizhou Mansion and had no time to turn around. Among the entire cabinet, only the emperor's master Sun Chengzong was left struggling to support him. The situation in the court was already heading towards chaos.
and slide into the abyss of disorder.
Thirdly, the Imperial College was closed, and countless students were beaten by Jin Yiwei at Donghua Gate, resulting in heavy casualties, which triggered a wave of student protests from north to south. Among them, Donglin people fueled the flames, secretly guided them, and the Director of Ceremonies took the opportunity to create
The contradiction aroused Tianqi's anger, and Dongchang and Jinyiwei were dispatched, causing a large number of unjust cases and bloodshed.
Everyone in the entire capital is in danger.
Countless people's eyes are looking at Jizhou Mansion: I wonder when Duke Lang will return to Beijing? Between Donglin and Duke Lang, who will win the final victory this time?
This result will affect the direction of the DPRK for decades to come.

"The current situation in the court is no longer about fighting over an issue of who is right and who is wrong, nor is it a road issue, nor is it an issue of the country and the country." Sun Chuanting went to Puzhou, Shanxi today, and was transferred to the army and prepared the road. Jiang Yueguang came to see him off.
After leaving You'anmen in the capital, Jiang Yueguang prepared some wine at Shili Pavilion to see his friend off.
Seeing Sun Chuanting's angry look, Jiang Yueguang seemed to be indifferent: "The court affairs are left to the high officials to take care of. Why do you and I bother to get involved in such a mess? Besides, this time,
Han Yuchen's death has caused a lot of discussion, and there is constant suspicion among the government and the public. If Wang Qi had not done anything wrong, why didn't he return to the capital? Although the picture of refugees is a strange move, I think it can only be suppressed for a while.
, I can’t hold it back for a lifetime, and when Liu Yijing arrives in Beijing, it’s time to start the war!”
The day before yesterday, Wang Tiqian returned from Jizhou Prefecture and replied that Wang Qifeng had returned the imperial edict and brought back the map of the refugees of Duke Lang. This really surprised the whole court. Even the people in the capital were full of curiosity about the map of the refugees.
.
It is said that after Emperor Tianqi saw the map of the refugees, he did not speak for a long time and just sat there blankly. He did not speak until evening, and directly asked the ceremonial supervisor to make more than a hundred rubbings of the map of the refugees and give them to various civil and military officials in the capital.
They asked them to express their feelings and never mentioned Wang Qi returning to Beijing again.
The officials in Beijing who were originally clamoring for Wang Qi to return to Beijing for trial seemed to have been suppressed in their chests and fell silent.
Sighing with each step, the blood-colored picture of the refugees in Jizhou, with the tragic images on it, makes people unable to bear to look at it twice.
"Donglin is using Han Yuchen's death to make a big fuss and wants to bring down Wang Qi once and for all. As for whether Han Yuchen's death has anything to do with Duke Lang, I don't think anyone cares," Sun Chuanting frowned.
He turned his head and slowly turned the jasper wine glass with his fingers, and the wine was slightly rippling: "And I heard that the war in Liaodong is about to start. If something goes wrong, who else can the whole court look to except Duke Lang?"<
/p>
"Those Donglin people, who are fighting for Taoism and ruining national affairs, deserve to die!" Sun Chuanting said, with even more anger in his chest. He slapped his hand directly on the stone table, causing Jiang Yueguang, who was opposite him, to
I was shocked.
"Why are you anxious? You see, what are you anxious about?" Jiang Yueguang was really helpless: "You are a small Puzhou Bingbeidao, and you have just taken office as magistrate of Shangqiu County. You are far away from the right and wrong places in the capital, and you are safe and sound.
Just serve as your deputy inspector in the Buzheng Yamen. Which one of Duke Lang, Liu Yijing, and Supervisor of Ceremonies can we provoke? With one breath from a big man, he can leave me waiting for death.
Earth, why are you suffering?"
Sun Chuanting breathed a sigh of relief: "If one day, I ascend to the throne, I will clear up the world and give the world a brighter day!"
"I'd better drink this glass of wine. I hope that your tenure in Puzhou will be stable and there will be less chaos!" Jiang Yueguang smiled helplessly and could only pick up the glass and pay tribute to his friend.
In recent years, there have been many chaos in the Shanshan and Shaanxi areas. Disasters have occurred frequently. Rebels and rebels have spread everywhere. The people who were already poor and unable to survive have become even more desperate. The land of the Three Jin Dynasties comes from Chengshan River, so it is not easy for the court to manage it.
, Sun Chuanting's trip involves mountains and rivers, and the road is far away, and the future is uncertain.
"Thank you, Brother Jiang!" Sun Chuanting also raised his glass, touched it lightly, and drank it all in one gulp.
At this time, there were waves of wind and dust in the distance, and the sound of horse hooves could be heard in the distance, as if a team of people had traveled a long distance.
Sun Chuanting and Jiang Yueguang looked from a distance, and the people on the official road were in panic and hurriedly avoided, fearing that they would block the nobles in the carriage.
"Who is here for such a big formation?" Jiang Yueguang squinted his eyes and looked at the group of people and the cars behind them from a distance.
When the carriage approached, the two of them looked down upon the jade plaque on the carriage that represented the identity of the owner: Liu.
Obviously, Donglin’s boss, who was living idle in Nanjing City, is back.
Last time, because of the fight with Wang Qi, Liu Yijing left the capital in disgrace. This time, because of Han Xu's death and the imprisonment of Zuo Guangdou, Yang Lian and others, Liu Yijing took advantage of Xia Liang's reconciliation.
Led the Donglin party bosses back to Beijing to face the Holy Spirit.
"It's Liu Yijing, and those Donglin bosses from Nanjing, Gao Panlong, Li Sancai, and Zhao Nanxing are all back!" A look of helplessness appeared on Sun Chuanting's lips: "A storm is about to arise in the capital!"
"I heard that Prince Xin has been very close to the Donglin Party recently," Jiang Yueguang said intentionally or unintentionally, looking at the car frame going away.
"King Xin?" Sun Chuanting turned around with a puzzled expression: "There are rumors that King Xin will conquer Huzhou at the end of this year. It is not far from Nanjing City, but in order to avoid losing the melons and plums in the fields, Donglin should avoid suspicion no matter what."<
/p>
"Well, if you go to Puzhou, you will have less to worry about in the capital. When your term of office is over, when you come back to the capital, you will have changed the world, and it will be a peaceful year," Jiang Yueguang laughed.
Looking quite heroic, he picked up the wine glass and saluted: "Brother Sun, have a nice journey!"
"See you tomorrow, you and I will get what we want!" Sun Chuanting raised his glass and drank it down in one gulp, then took a step back and bowed deeply: "The road ahead is long, farewell!"
"Farewell!"
Not long after, Sun Chuanting led the horse, led the book boy, and two attendants, and slowly drove away in the breeze.
Jiang Yueguang stood there, looking at his friend who was leaving. After a while, the expectation in his eyes slowly disappeared, and what followed was endless sadness.
