Who is Mr. Congyun? How could Bai Tianchen lose his composure?

Mr. Congyun's surname is Gao and his name is Gao Panlong. He also has a nickname called Mr. Jing Yi, and the latter's nickname is the most famous.

Who is this Gao Panlong? Speaking of which, this person is not simple, because the famous Donglin Academy is now jointly founded by the brothers Gao Panlong and Gu Xiancheng. After Gu Xiancheng's death, Gao Panlong became a banner of the Donglin Party.

Although Gao Panlong, who has served as Taichang Shaoqing, Dali Temple Right Shaoqing, Taipuqing, Right Assistant Minister of Justice, and Left Censor of the Censorate, Gao Panlong's official position is not high, he has a lot of energy. The reason why the Donglin Party can be spread all over the south of the Yangtze River and become the largest force in the court is inseparable from Gao Panlong's efforts.

Now such a great man is going to invite Bai Tianchen to the banquet, and Bai Tianchen is not surprised. He picked up the invitation on the table and looked at it for a while. Finally, he hesitated for a while before returning the invitation to Liao Yongquan. "Mr. Liao is grateful for the kindness of Lord Liao, but Xiaguan is already a person who is about to retire. Xiaguan will not attend this banquet. Please ask Lord Liao to thank Gao for his kindness for him."

Liao Yongquan's face finally turned cold: "Brother Hong Ming, have you really decided?"

"Xiaguan has already thought about it." Bai Tianchen made up his mind, "Xiaguan has figured it out in the past two days. Neither Lord Liao nor that Lord Yang are affordable to Xiaguan. Besides, Xiaguan will retire and return home in a few months, and he really has no energy to mix with those things."

"Brother Hong Ming, you disappoint me so much." Liao Yongquan snorted coldly: "Where do we scholars come from? Isn't it just for the sake of righteousness and the establishment of our hearts and destiny for the heaven and earth? Now you are actually worried about a vulgar martial artist so far, where have you read the books of sages in these years?"

Bai Tianchen rolled his eyes with contempt. Liao Yongquan said that he was almost the same as those rookies who had just entered the officialdom. He thought that Bai Tianchen had been in the officialdom for decades and had seen too many dirty things. It would be fine if Liao Yongquan told others that you came to show off to me now. When the old man coaxed others, you were still breastfeeding.

However, some things are seen through but not said them. Bai Tianchen will naturally not be so naive to argue with him. He said with a "sincere": "Sir, I laughed. Xiaguan is already fifty-nine this year, and I will retire and return home in a few months. Xiaguan also understood the reason why Gao asked Xiaguan to go, but Xiaguan asked himself that he had no ability, so he would not show his ugly words."

The biggest advantage of talking to smart people is that you don’t have to talk too much. Bai Tianchen is very clear about the meaning of you. I know the purpose of you asking me to the banquet, but I, an old man who is about to retire, should not interfere with this kind of thing. You should ask Gao Ming.

"This old fox!" Liao Yongquan cursed in his heart, but on the surface he still laughed, "Since Brother Hong Ming has said that, the official will not say anything anymore. I wish Brother Hong Ming a good journey and I will say goodbye first."

After saying that, Liao Yongquan bowed and said goodbye.

Bai Tianchen looked at Liao Yongquan's back as he disappeared at the door for a long time. After a long time, a middle-aged man who looked like a servant walked in from outside and bowed to Bai Tianchen and said, "Master, let the villain tell you that the Duke of Wei's Mansion has just sent an invitation to invite you to visit the mansion in the evening."

"Duke of Wei?" Bai Tianchen's eyes were fixed, and then he waved his hand irritably, "If you don't go, don't go, tell your wife when you go back, you will say that I am unwell and will not attend any banquet if anyone sends invitations in the future."

"Yes!" The servant said nothing and bowed and retreated.

Looking at the setting sun, Bai Tianchen snorted coldly: "Do these people really think I'm going to kill me? Last time I used me as a gun for a while, and I wanted to do it again this time. Do you really think I'm so confused? You want to deal with Yang Feng and I won't stop me, but don't treat me as a fool."

Starting from mid-March of the sixth year of the Tianqi period, both the capital, Nanjing and even the court were undercurrents. The civil servant group led by the Donglin Party began to connect, and some rumors began to spread in Shuntian Prefecture, Yingtian Prefecture and even Jiangnan.

Zhengyangmen Street, Beijing, goes south through the entrance of the East and West Zhushi, to the northwest of the Temple of Heaven, is the famous Tianqiao area of ​​Beijing. It gathers a large number of ordinary people here, and many artists from the martial arts world will perform arts and juggle here, including pulling bows, raising knives, shaking diabolos, dancing forks, climbing poles, playing monkeys, etc. You can almost see all kinds of jugglings you can think of here.

Of course, for Chinese people, food is also essential. There are various snacks from all over the world, and various teahouses for the common people are also everywhere. You only need one eldest son to drink a bowl of tea that is refreshing. If you are willing to add a few copper coins, the waiter of the tea shop will also bring you peanuts and melon seeds. Many ordinary people will invite three or five neighbors or friends to spend more than a dozen eldest sons sitting here for a day while drinking tea while listening to the storyteller in the teahouse. They will not go home until the evening.

By March and April, although it was already a time when the weather was inconsistent, the popularity of Tianqiao did not weaken much, and the teahouse near Tianqiao was still crowded. There is a Liu Yuan Teahouse in Shizi Hutong east of Tianqiao. This teahouse has a history of fifty or sixty years since its opening in the early years of Chenghua. It is considered a time-honored teahouse. When the old and young men in Shizi Hutong nearby like to come here to drink tea and chat about the mountains when they have nothing to do.

Throughout the dynasties, the people at the feet of the emperor were the most interested in politics. They liked to inquire about big and small matters in the court, and then everyone sat together to chat. In recent times, the most interested in the Jiangning Army, who had just won a battle in Liaodong and was ordered to return to the court.

Jiang Laosan is in his thirties. When he was young, he was a famous stubborn leader in the area of ​​Shizi Hutong. He did not do his job properly all day long, formed gangs and scrambled all day long. However, as he got older, he began to gradually gain a heart. He relied on helping the powerful people in Beijing to earn some hard money. On weekdays, people in Shizi Hutong respectfully called him Jiang Sanye.

As a former stubborn master, Jiang Laosan is naturally very well-informed. Tea lovers who often come to Liu Yuan’s teahouse to drink tea like to invite Jiang Laosan to drink tea. Listen to him telling about the various interesting things that happened in the palace or in the court recently, and today is no exception.

Jiang Laosan is of medium figure, slightly fat, and has a lion nose. Today he is still sitting on the main seat of the big table in the center of the teahouse, surrounded by more than a dozen old and young men from the Lion Hutong. He picked up the big bowl of tea in front of him and took a big sip. He picked up the peanuts in his right hand and pinched it gently, making a squeak, and then threw it into his mouth skillfully. Then he smiled and said to everyone on the table: "Young and Young men, do you know what has happened in our capital recently?"

"Hey... who doesn't know this." A young man in his twenties said with a smile: "The one who has been the most popular in our capital recently has to be the Nanjing general, the commander of Jiangning Guard, Lord Yang Feng, and Lord Yang. He has just defeated Jiannu in Liaodong. Not only did he kill the banner leader of the Zhenglan Banner, Manguertai, but even the thief chief Nurhaci was blown away by him. He was so popular that he could compete with him now! I have heard that this time, Lord Yang summoned Lord Yang to be promoted to him."

"Yes, that's what we heard."

"That's right, if Lord Yang makes such a great contribution, who will be willing to fight in the future if he doesn't get promoted?"

Seeing everyone talking nice things for Yang Feng in one face, Jiang Laosan smiled slightly, put the peanut shell in his hand in the empty basin in front of him, then picked up a big bowl of tea and took a sip before saying lightly: "Although this is the case, as the saying goes, good fortune is the misfortune and the misfortune is the blessing, and sometimes it may not be a good thing if the limelight is too high."

Everyone was stunned. The thin young man looked at Jiang Laosan and asked curiously: "Huh... Master Jiang San, I heard that there seems to be something in your words. Could it be that there is something hidden inside?"

"Yes, Master Jiang San, could something happen to these heavenly courts?" asked a middle-aged man in his forties.

Although this middle-aged man is nearly ten years older than Jiang Laosan, Jiang Laosan has been working for those powerful families all year round and his style has begun to increase. He is no longer a gangster from more than ten years ago, so many people respectfully call him "San Master", and this middle-aged man is no exception.

Jiang Laosan glanced around and lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "Young and young men, I'm not to hide it. I just got the news. A few days ago, General Yang, who had just defeated Jiannu, was impeached. Maybe what should I say."

"What? I was impeached. What's going on? Why were I impeached?" Everyone was shocked when they heard this. Since ancient times, the general has been victorious and returned to the court. Before the people have arrived, they have been impeached. Such a thing is very rare. Who is the one who has eaten Xiongxin and leopard dares to impeach meritorious ministers at this critical moment.

"Jiang Xiaosan, hurry up and tell everyone, who did such a thing that gave birth to a son without any worries? Lord Yang sacrificed his life to kill the Tartars in front of him, how could anyone make trouble behind him?" This was said by an old man in his sixties. The old man also had a surname Jiang, and he was Jiang Laosan's family. He watched him grow up since he was a child, so he spoke casually.

Jiang Laosan looked around and said, "It is said that there are many people who impeach Lord Yang, both from the Censorate and from the Six Criminal Office. Hundreds of people impeached him."

Everyone was even more surprised: "Oh... so many people, what did Lord Yang do? Was he robbed the Tartars' property, killed prisoners, or some other reason?"

Speaking of this, Jiang Laosan couldn't help laughing: "You must have never imagined the reason for the impeachment. It is said that this Lord Yang married a Mongolian woman a few months ago, and this Mongolian woman was the daughter of the leader of the Mongolian Korqin tribe. In order to marry this woman, Lord Yang also sold some salt and tea to them. Now those censors and censors seized this point and were trying hard to impeach Lord Yang like crazy to punish Lord Yang for his crime."

"Shit...is there anything else?"

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but scratch their heads. Such things can be big or small. If no one pursues them, you can turn a blind eye to such things. If someone wants to investigate them strictly, it's not impossible to be able to be a foreign country, but it's just a matter of what it means.

The uncle Jiang stroked his beard and frowned and said, "No, Lord Yang just married a woman. This is also a matter? Those censors are really worried about eating carrots."

Jiang Laosan smiled bitterly and said, "Uncle, you only know one thing but not the other. It would be fine if Lord Yang married an ordinary Mongolian woman. The problem was that he went to the eldest daughter of the leader of the Korqin tribe. This Korqin tribe was very close to Jiannu. The sister and aunt of the woman who Lord Yang married married Huang Taiji to the eighth son of the thief chief Nurhaci. Speaking of which Lord Yang is still in-laws now."

"What? There is such a thing?" Everyone was shocked now. Lord Yang and Jiannu became in-laws, and this matter was caused by the trouble. The censors and censors were all people who had to find trouble even if they had nothing to do. When they encountered such a thing, they would not be able to impeach them to death.

"This is difficult." Uncle Jiang was also stunned. Even though he had lived for most of his life, he had never heard of such a thing. This Lord Yang is too ignorant. How could he be a relative of Jiannu?

Although they were not talking loudly, who were sitting in the teahouse? They were mosquitoes flying by from the side and could hear the male and female masters. Almost everyone around them heard what Jiang Laosan said at the table, and they were stunned for a moment. Now the teahouse was completely quiet, and many people peered at each other.

At this time, the thin young man suddenly said: "Actually, what's wrong with this? Didn't he just take a Mongolian? The second child of the Mongolian whom Lord Yang killed was still Huang Taiji's fifth brother. Even the thief Nurhaci was blown away by Lord Yang to death. What's wrong with such a person even if he became a relative of Huang Taiji? At least this is also called killing a kiss for justice, right?"

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and then burst into laughter. There is something else that can be said about destroying relatives for the sake of justice.

Almost at the same time, this incident began to spread in many places in the capital and even in the south of the Yangtze River. It became well-known in a few days. For a time, the court was spreading in a lot of controversy. Many officials wrote letters to the emperor to severely punish Yang Feng, but many officials remained silent about the matter.
