"Emperor Gao of our dynasty once said that it is strictly forbidden to form cliques in the court for personal gain, but why is the Ming Dynasty still rampant? There is only one reason to think about it, just to keep warm!"

In the hall of Jinyuan Teahouse, storyteller Lao Wang was holding a copy of "Prince Truth" in his hand and shaking his head. In the hall of the teahouse were hundreds of tea guests who came to drink tea. The tables in front of these teahouses were placed with melon seeds, tea and fruits as before. However, at this time, no teahouse was in the mood to eat these things. They all opened their mouths and watched Lao Wang chanting newspapers there.

"What is warming together? The so-called warming together originally means that in the cold winter, people hug each other and keep warm together. It is a metaphor for mutual assistance and cooperation and accumulating strength to overcome the most difficult period. But for the clique, warming together has changed the flavor. Scholars form their own circles, and their relationships include fellow villagers, the same Mongolian teacher, the same teacher and even the same party. They rely on such circles to define their identities.

When scholars become officials, before doing something, the first thing they think about is not whether this matter is beneficial to the court, but to themselves and the cliques behind them. If it is beneficial to themselves, it doesn’t matter even if it is wrong and can be forgiven. If it is not good to oneself, then I’m embarrassed to do it. No matter how beneficial this matter is to the country and the people, I will drag you down. Otherwise, how can I explain it to the cliques behind me?"

While Lao Wang was reciting, the sweat beads on his forehead also flowed down. Not far from him, the fat boss lady stopped eating melon seeds and opened her mouth wide, and her face full of fat was shaking constantly.

After so many years in the Ming Dynasty, this boss lady naturally knew what a noble status scholars had in this country. The person who wrote this article was simply a self-destructive person. That is, the murderous demon. If another person dared to write such an article, he would definitely not live for three days. She turned her head and said to Boss Jin beside her.

"As the head of the family, is it really okay for us to let Lao Wang be so obsessed and the emperor will openly read this article?"

"What are you afraid of?" Boss Jin's face was full of excitement at this time, and his face was a little distorted due to being too excited. He smiled grimly and said, "If someone dares to write it out, what's wrong with us reading it? The entire teahouse in the capital is reading this article. People who have read this article have no 30,000 or 20,000. If you have the ability, they will arrest all of these people!"

In the opinion of Boss Jin, Yang Feng is already walking further and further on the road to death, and no one can save him. He just pushed him gently from behind. As for the consequences, it doesn't matter to him.

Almost the same day, people read this freshly released "Story of Fellowship" in the streets and alleys of Beijing.

"Now there is only one clique in the court, that is, the Donglin Party. What is the Donglin Party? The Donglin Party is an emerging clique dominated by the literati and officials in the south of the Yangtze River. They used the name of satirizing the government and commenting on officials to cover up landlords and compete for profit for wealthy businessmen.

Although they put forward slogans that seemingly open-minded and honest, dedicated to the public, revitalize the administration, open up the way of speech, and eliminate the accumulated tragedy of the government and the country, they actually became spokespersons for the interests of major landlords in Jiangnan and the great wealthy businessmen. They turned a blind eye to the tragic reality of the famine victims of the Ming Dynasty and tried their best to obstruct the act of collecting funds and disaster relief. The so-called empty talk is about the country's misunderstanding, which is like them..."

"What a "Clash"!"

In Kunning Palace, Zhu Youxiao read this issue of "Prince Truth" loudly, his face full of admiration. He exclaimed to the queen Zhang Yan, who was sitting quietly beside him: "Zi Tong, Yang Aiqing is really a talented person. First, there was an article "Tax Taxation" and now it was another article "Friends". These two articles simply deprive the true faces of the Donglin Party, the rich gentry and the landlords. This time I want to see what the Donglin Party members have in the court and accused others with righteous words?"

Zhang Yan smiled slightly, and the elegant and luxurious style immediately emanated. She opened her cherry lips with some concern and said: "Your Majesty, these two articles by Jiang Ningbo are of great pleasure, but they are undoubtedly offending those people from Donglin Party and Jiangnan. I am afraid that those people will be detrimental to Jiang Ningbo."

"What are you afraid of!" Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said loudly: "If they want to move Jiang Ning, I have to agree. Jiang Ning Uncle was given to me and the talents given to the Ming Dynasty. I will never allow them to be detrimental to Jiang Ning Uncle!"

Seeing her husband's spirited look, Zhang Yan was happy for her husband and also advised softly: "Your Majesty is my great master of the Ming Dynasty, so she will naturally not be afraid of those clowns. However, the old saying goes, it is easy to avoid hidden arrows and cannot be prevented. If those villains hide in the dark and cast hidden arrows, Jiang Ningbo will be hit south even if he is again affected by His Majesty. So I think your Majesty has time, so I will tell Jiang Ningbo not to provoke the Donglin Party again."

Zhu Youxiao snorted coldly and clenched his hands with some reluctance: "These party struggles will ruin the country. In the future, I must clear all these people out of the court and give the Ming Dynasty a bright world!"

Zhang Yan looked at her husband with a tenderness of admiration in her eyes: "Your Majesty is wise and powerful, I believe Your Majesty can do it."

"Haha... Then I will lend Zi Tong Jiyan!"

The two of them talked for a while, and Zhu Youxiao transferred the topic to the situation in the palace.

"Zi Tong, I wonder what the situation in the harem has been going on recently? Have you ever bothered you with those trivial matters?"

"If you want to go back to your Majesty, nothing major happened in the harem recently. Your concubines have been fascinated by the thing called TV brought back by Jiang Ningbo. They have to watch TV every night. The movie called Baolian Lantern that was played recently is so beautiful."

"That's good...this is good." Zhu Youxiao was very happy when he heard this. He was a person who paid great attention to family ties. Although he did not have as deep feelings for other concubines as he did for Zhang Yan, he still hoped that his women could live a happier life.

"By the way!" Zhu Youxiao suddenly remembered something and asked Zhang Yan: "Zi Tong, why haven't I seen Yang Aiqing come to me recently? What is he busy with?"

Zhang Yan rolled her husband coquettishly: "Your Majesty, you are so noble that you are so forgot about it. You forgot that the concubine that Uncle Jiang Ning will be in the last few days. This is Uncle Jiang Ning's first child, so he naturally has to accompany her in the mansion."

“Oh…”

Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but pat his forehead.

"If you don't say it, I really forgot. Uncle Jiang Ning mentioned it to me a few days ago. I forgot these days. This matter is indeed something that I have wrong with me. Someone is here..."

Following Zhu Youxiao's voice, an eunuch walked in from the door and said respectfully: "What are your Majesty's orders?"

Zhu You proofread the eunuch and said, "You will immediately pass on my will and send someone to the inner trunk to select a few old ginseng and some gifts to send to Jiangning Bo's Mansion. Jiangning Bo's first child is about to be released, and I must have etiquette."

"Here!"

The eunuch quickly took the order and left.

Things were indeed as Zhang Yan said. After a shot, Yang Feng ignored the matter outside and stayed at home to accompany Zhezhe who was about to give birth. Zhezhe did not disappoint his expectations and gave birth to a girl for him on the second day of September.

Zhezhe's childbirth process was very smooth. After all, she was already the mother of two children before this. This was her third time as a mother, so she naturally became familiar with the journey without any difficulties or accidents.

After learning that Yang Feng had given birth to a daughter, the girls in Jiangning Bo Mansion and the officers under the Jiangning Army were happy and secretly relieved. Fortunately, they were a daughter. If Zhezhe gave birth to a son as a concubine, then Jiangning Bo Mansion might have a lot of troubles in the future. After all, this era pays great attention to orderly old and young people.

Everyone was happy and had just given birth to Zhezhe, who had just finished giving birth, was a little unhappy. She had given birth to two daughters for Huang Taiji in the past, but now she has remarried Yang Feng and gave birth to another daughter. Does she have the only life to have a daughter in this life?

After all, Yang Feng is a person who has been educated in modern times since childhood. Naturally, he knows that having a boy or a girl has nothing to do with the woman. After realizing that Zhezhe was unhappy, he personally explained the truth to Zhezhe and comforted her, which made Zhezhe happy again.

Yang Feng was with his wife in the mansion and ignored the things outside, but some things that should be come still.

One morning, Yang Feng was accompanying his wife and his newborn daughter in the mansion when he suddenly heard a loud noise like a world-renowned sound, and the whole city of Beijing was shocked.

It turned out that there was a bizarre explosion at the gunpowder depot of the Wanggong Factory, the Ministry of Works, located in the southwest corner of Beijing. Wanggong Factory is the largest gunpowder and firearm production base in Beijing, supplying the firearms supply of most of the Beijing camp and the Beijing city guards. The explosion caused a lot of noise.

Afterwards, the explosion range was about 750 meters and the area reached 2.25 square kilometers. Afterwards, within the explosion center, the officials walking on the street, Xue Fengxiang, the room Zhuangli, and Wu Zhongwei's sedan chair was broken, and many injured. Dong Kewei, the Minister of Works, broke his arms, and the censors He Tingshu and Pan Yunyi were shocked to death at home. The two families were "covered into the soil". General Yang of Xuanfu and his team, including the horses and the seven people in the Changban Pass, disappeared.

Even the Jiangning Bo Mansion, far away from the southwest city, was affected. Yang Feng's family, who was sitting in the yard, was frightened. The entire Jiangning Bo Mansion was also furious by the explosion. After comforting the scared women, Yang Feng's face became gloomy.

At this time, Yang Feng remembered that it seemed that in another historical time and space, there was also a big explosion in Beijing, which was called the mystery of the three natures in the world. The consequences of this explosion were also very serious. In this explosion, there were more than 20,000 casualties in Beijing. The Donglin Party, which was suppressed by Wei Zhongxian at that time, also jumped up and down, and blamed the cause of the explosion on Emperor Tianqi Zhu Youxiao, forcing Zhu Youxiao to issue a self-destruction. This explosion also made the situation in the court, which had originally improved, worsen again.

Yang Feng said to the girls with a calm face: "We are in trouble this time, Hai Lanzhu, Zhezhe, Tuo Niang, Bumu Butai, Shiniang, you guys stay in the mansion, take good care of the children and comfort the servants, I will go to the palace immediately."

The girls knew that something big happened would not stop him. Hai Lanzhu said softly: "Don't worry, my husband, we will take good care of the family, so you can do things with confidence."

Yang Feng didn't talk nonsense, and immediately took more than a dozen servants to rush towards the palace. When he first arrived at the gate of the palace, he happened to see the eunuch sent by Zhu Youxiao to Xuan him attacked just in time to find him. Yang Feng didn't talk nonsense and immediately followed the eunuch into the palace.

When Yang Feng came to the Ganqing Palace, he saw Zhu Youxiaozheng being protected by a group of eunuchs and guards. His whole expression was a little nervous. Wei Zhongxian was standing by serving with his hands down. After seeing Yang Feng coming, Zhu Youxiao rushed to Yang Feng as if he saw a savior and pulled his sleeves and said, "Love, is God warning me at the moment? What should I do?"

Yang Feng looked at so many eunuchs and guards around him and shook his head: "Your Majesty, it's useless to be anxious. What happened to the palace just now? Please tell me in detail."

"Okay... OK."

It turned out that just now, Youjiao was having breakfast in the Qing Palace. Suddenly, he found that the hall was shaking, and he didn't know what was going on. He was so scared that he ran away desperately.

After running outside the door, he felt something was wrong, so he rushed to Jiaotai Hall desperately. The guards beside him were at a loss, and only a close eunuch followed him closely. As soon as he arrived at Jianji Hall, tiles suddenly flew down from the sky and happened to hit the eunuch's head. The eunuch's brain burst on the spot and fell to the ground and died.

At this time, Zhu Youxiao didn't care about anything and ran to Jiaotai Hall in one breath. A big table was placed in one corner of the hall. He hurriedly got under the table and took a breath, hoping that he could escape this disaster. It was not until the eunuchs and guards found him that he sent an order to let Wei Zhongxian and Yang Feng come together.

After listening to Zhu Youxiao's words, Yang Feng said in a deep voice without hesitation: "Your Majesty, although this matter is a natural disaster, we must also be careful that someone will turn this incident into a man-made disaster. Those of the Donglin Party will never miss this opportunity. We must act immediately and never let their conspiracy succeed. Eunuch Wei, I wonder what your opinion is?"

Wei Zhongxian, who was standing by, looked at Yang Feng with some surprise, a trace of admiration flashed in his eyes, and then nodded: "Boss Jiang Ning's words are of course excellent, and we have no objection."

"That's good!" Yang Feng said decisively, "Your Majesty, it's not time to go. Please issue an order immediately. Order Lu Xiangsheng, Hu Dawei and Yang Guozhu to lead 30,000 troops from the Jing camp to the streets to maintain order. If you encounter someone who takes advantage of the situation and robbery, you will be killed without mercy. Then ask Eunuch Wei to send the East Factory to investigate everywhere. If you encounter someone who spreads rumors, you will be arrested. In addition, we must also think about how to deal with the ministers who took the opportunity to attack tomorrow morning."
