Three or two sentences.

Zhang Haogu directly targeted the Donglin Party.

It was Wang Huazhen who made the wrong decision.

Xiong Tingbi failed to collect the defeated troops in time. At the same time, he must have been motivated by gloating about others' misfortunes and did not do everything he could to restore the situation.

But, let’s really talk about the big problem.

Or within the imperial court.

To put it bluntly, it is a party struggle.

Who told you that Xiong Tingbi is not a Donglin Party member?

Zhu Youxiao fell into silence.

This is the advantage of being close to the emperor.

Your words and deeds can easily influence the emperor, thereby changing the emperor's policy.

If Zhang Haogu hadn't been here, Wei Zhongxian would have killed Zhu Youxiao in just a few words.

"Master, what you said makes sense!"

Zhu Youxiao gritted his teeth: "The Donglin Party members are really hateful!"

"This issue of responsibility still needs to be clearly defined!"

Zhang Haogu smiled: "Your Majesty, Xiong Tingbi is still somewhat talented. If he is really killed, it will be a loss to our Ming Dynasty. Why not make meritorious service?"

Zhu Youxiao hesitated.

Wei Zhongxian, on the other hand, said angrily: "Your Majesty, last year, Zhang Heming, Minister of the Ministry of War, proposed that economics and education should be integrated into one body. Merits will be the same, and failure will be the same. The merits and demerits of two people will be one, and those who have merit will be rewarded, and those who are guilty will be rewarded.

The merits will be equal to the merits, and the crimes will be the same. The ministers have reached an agreement."

Obviously, Eunuch Wei still cares about these 40,000 taels of gold.

Zhu Youxiao glanced at Zhang Haogu again, and then his eyes fell on Wei Zhongxian: "Let me think about it!"

Wei Zhongxian took a deep look at Zhang Haogu.

Then it was time to say goodbye.

Zhang Haogu smiled and said: "Your Majesty, it's getting late, and I have to retire!"

Zhu Youxiao nodded: "Tomorrow, I will find the master to enter the palace again!"

…

…

"Brother Wei, please stay!"

Seeing that Wei Zhongxian was about to leave, Zhang Haogu greeted Wei Zhongxian behind his back with a smile.

"Oh, what do you have to say, Zhuangyuan Gong?" Wei Zhongxian looked at Zhang Haogu and felt a little unhappy.

Not long ago, I compared myself to Feng Bao and Zhang Haogu to Zhang Juzheng.

At this moment, not even Brother Zhang is called.

"Be careful!"

Zhang Haogu muttered in his heart, but a faint smile appeared on his face: "Brother, but Wang Wenyan promised to give the father-in-law 40,000 taels of gold before, but now he has broken his promise. If you make me unhappy, you will have to deal with Xiong Tingbi."

Killing him?"

Wei Zhongxian was immediately shocked, stared at Zhang Haogu and said, "You, how did you know?"

"Father, there is no airtight wall under the sky!"

Zhang Haogu spoke calmly and said leisurely: "Speaking of which, Xiong Tingbi is quite generous, but my father-in-law has not thought about a problem!"

Wei Zhongxian was slightly startled: "What's the problem!"

"This forty thousand gold is not a small amount!"

Zhang Haogu said: "My father-in-law, do you think Xiong Tingbi can come up with 40,000 taels of gold?"

Wei Zhongxian was stunned and thought about it carefully. Xiong Tingbi's family could not be considered poor, but it seemed impossible for him to come up with 40,000 taels of gold in one go.

He pondered for a moment and said, "Brother, what do you mean?"

"I think this matter is probably because the Donglin Party wants to kill people with a borrowed knife!"

"Killing with a borrowed knife?" Wei Zhongxian's pupils shrank slightly.

Zhang Haogu continued: "Xiong Tingbi is not a member of the Donglin Party, he is a member of the Chu Party. Last year, His Majesty appointed Xiong Tingbi as Secretary of the Ministry of War and the right deputy censor of the capital, stationed at Shanhaiguan and managing the military affairs of Liaodong. To this end, Xiong Tingbi took this opportunity to

Please Shang Fang Baojian, please mobilize more than 200,000 troops, and instruct the three ministries of households, soldiers, and industry with soldiers, horses, grain, grass, equipment, etc. Think about it, father-in-law, for such an important position, the Donglin Party can allow him to fall into it.

In the hands of the Chu Party?"

Wei Zhongxian frowned and began to think about the taste seriously.

Zhang Haogu spread his hands: "So even though Xiong Tingbi was reinstated, the Donglin Party members recommended Wang Huazhen to be the governor of Liaodong!"

Wei Zhongxian pondered: "Did the Donglin Party focus on the position of Liaodong Economic Strategy?"

"Father, although Xiong Tingbi is talented, one thing is that he has a bad temper. Wang Huazhen relies on the protection of the Donglin Party members. It is inevitable that the two sides will have conflicts. Wang Huazhen wants to win the position of Liaodong Economic Strategy.

, this is a fertile position, the imperial court’s money, food and grass all have to go through the hands of Liaodong Manager!”

Wei Zhongxian couldn't help but glance at Zhang Haogu.

Zhang Haogu continued: "My father-in-law still remembers that Wang Huazhen wrote a letter to request that Jian Nu be wiped out in one fell swoop, and Xiong Tingbi wrote to the court requesting his dismissal. If at this time, Hou Jian Nu had not approached Xiping, and the imperial court had stopped the dispute and still used both of them,

They were ordered to work together to integrate merit and crime. Xiong Tingbi had already given up the position of Liaodong Economic Strategy. So, father-in-law, do you understand?"

Wei Zhongxian stopped and looked at Zhang Haogu and said: "Brother, I probably understand what you mean. The Donglin Party wants to compete with Xiong Tingbi for this official position? But what does this Wang Wenyan mean by giving me 40,000 taels of gold?"

"The Donglin Party did not expect that the final result of the Ningyuan War would be the defeat of the Ming army. For the Donglin Party, it does not matter whether Wang Huazhen dies or not. The most important thing is that Xiong Tingbi must die!"

Zhang Haogu spread his hands: "As soon as Xiong Tingbi dies, the Donglin Party can immediately throw all the blame and dirty water on Xiong Tingbi. Their Donglin Party has nothing to do with the fall of Liaodong!"

"What does this have to do with me?" Wei Zhongxian was puzzled.

"It doesn't matter. The responsibility for killing Xiong Tingbi is also great. Xiong Tingbi is a meritorious minister after all. If the war in Liaodong goes unfavorably in the future, the court will think of Xiong Tingbi again and feel that the killing was wrong. What will happen in the future?"

Wei Zhongxian frowned, trying hard to digest the information Zhang Haogu provided to him.

Wait until he has almost digested it.

Zhang Haogu continued: "Once the investigation is carried out, the Donglin Party will inevitably be blamed. This will also be a trouble for the Donglin Party. However, what if it is not the Donglin Party who wants to kill Xiong Tingbi? What about you, father-in-law?"

"Fuck..."

Wei Zhongxian couldn't help but cursed, pointed at his nose and said: "Come on, is our family taking the blame for the Donglin Party?"

Zhang Haogu nodded

"Damn it!" Wei Zhongxian couldn't help but cursed: "Are these stupid Donglin Party members treating our family like monkeys?"

Zhang Haogu nodded again.

Wei Zhongxian wanted to kill someone.

Speaking of which, Eunuch Wei still has some tricks and tactics, but he is still not that sophisticated at the moment.

Zhang Haogu's few words gave Wei Zhongxian a wake-up call.

"Brother, thanks to you, otherwise our family would be tricked by these bastards!" Wei Zhongxian said through gritted teeth.

"What do you plan to do, father-in-law?" Zhang Haogu asked.

Wei Zhongxian pondered for a moment, and then slowly said: "Brother, what do you mean?"

"It's easy to handle!"

Zhang Haogu smiled and said slowly: "Don't the Donglin Party want to bury the hatchet? Then we can't let them bury the hatchet!"

"Check, get to the bottom of it and see if there is anything fishy here. My father-in-law has Dongchang and Jinyiwei in his hands. It must not be a difficult task. He built the plank road openly and secretly visited Chencang. My father-in-law can show his attitude of wanting to execute Xiong Tingbi, secretly

Investigate Wang Huazhen!"

"The pay for the Liaodong Army is not a small sum. The Donglin Party is probably targeting the Liaodong Economic Strategy. There must be something wrong with Wang Huazhen. He is definitely not a tough guy. My father-in-law can scare him and say that he can be saved from death. Let's see what he can do.

Spit out something!"

Wei Zhongxian's eyes lit up: "Brother, what a trick!"

Historically, Wang Huazhen defected directly to Wei Zhongxian. Wei Zhongxian took the opportunity to expose the Donglin Party's "corruption of Liaodong army pay" and defeated the remaining power of the Donglin Party in one fell swoop.

As for whether there was embezzlement of military pay.

It would be strange if you are not greedy.

These Qingliu censors are not corrupt. As censors, there is no chance of corruption. However, can the other powerful factions of the Donglin Party really guarantee that they are white lotus flowers?

Of course, the Donglin Party is not a good thing, is it the eunuch Party?

It's also not a good thing.

Half a catty or eight taels.

Just hypocrites and real villains.

Zhang Haogu spoke unhurriedly: "As long as we make good use of Xiong Tingbi, we can take the opportunity to get rid of several Donglin Party members. This Xiong Tingbi belongs to the Chu Party. If my father-in-law saves Xiong Tingbi, he will bring down the entire Chu Party.

!”

After a pause, Zhang Haogu continued: "Don't worry about Xiong Tingbi's bad temper. So what if he offends the father-in-law? What if he scolds the father-in-law bloody? Look behind Xiong Tingbi, he is a Chu Party member.

, for saving Xiong Tingbi, the Chu party must not be grateful to Eunuch Wei? In this court, with the attachment of the Chu party, the Qi party, the Zhejiang party... naturally it is not a problem! "

However, Wei Zhongxian couldn't help but sigh: "Brother, thanks to you. Otherwise, our family would really be used as a weapon by the hypocrites of the Donglin Party!"
