Chapter 333
It has long been proved in history that the members of the Donglin Party are all so-called honest gentlemen, and they are also staunch supporters of the orthodoxy of the ritual system.

If it was changed to before, let alone mentioning it, even if King Fu sent someone to visit him, these old guys would definitely be kicked out.

But today's situation is a bit special. When Sun Ruyou said Fu Wang's name, except Yang Lian's mouth moved, no one else responded.

Have times changed?Or have people's thinking and concepts changed?
In fact, nothing has changed. What has changed is people's hearts. The little emperor doesn't want to see him, and Wei Zhongxian and his gang are aggressive. These so-called upright gentlemen, for their own benefit, have to put aside some things they originally thought were right.

Han Kuang sneered suddenly, and said, "So what about King Fu? Without the support of the army, can you still think about it?"

Everyone knows that Ye Xun and Zhu Changxun, the king of blessings, are not on the same page, and besides the Gyeonggi army, the Liaodong army is the closest. When it comes to the elite of the army, the Liaodong army is even a few blocks away from the Beijing camp.

In other words, unless he got the support of Ye Xun, Fu Wang had no chance of winning at all.

Yang Lian frowned and said, "Have you thought about the consequences of doing this?"

Who didn't think about the consequences?But if it weren't for the critical moment of life and death, how could these Donglin party members who valued etiquette and ethics more important than life would talk to King Fu?

Zhou Jiamo, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said: "It is obvious to all that Ye Xun will not be tolerated today. What if King Fu Qiansui can accommodate Ye Xun? At least Ye Xun will not bear the reputation of being a traitor and traitor, and I think Ye Xun will not refuse." Care about your reputation!"

Although Zhou Jiamo didn't say it clearly, everyone understood what he meant, that is, let King Fu contact Ye Xun himself.

The advantage of doing this is that members of the Donglin Party do not directly participate in it, and once Fu Wang and Ye Xun reach an agreement, they can echo it in the court, so as to achieve the goal of changing the dynasty.

Zuo Guangdou frowned and said, "I don't think you take it for granted? Ye Xun was a staunch supporter of the late Emperor when he ascended the throne. If Ye Xun was willing to support King Fu back then, it would not be the situation today. , so we have to think about what to do if this doesn’t happen.”

"I agree with brother Zuo's opinion, and the late emperor is not the son of the last one"

It was still Yang Lian who spoke. In the final analysis, he still advocated that the descendants of the first emperor should succeed to the throne, not an outsider like King Fu.

Yang Lian took it for granted. Zhu Youxiao was young, in good health, and hadn't committed any major crimes. Could it be that these old scholars in front of him could replace him?To put it bluntly, there is still no military support.

Currently in charge of the Beijing Camp, Jinyiwei is Wei Zhongxian's henchman, Liu Qiao, who is the British Duke, and the East Factory is under Wei Zhongxian's own control.

Therefore, it is almost impossible to do something with a few civil servants.

The atmosphere was a little dull, and after a while, Liu Yijing said: "Let's do both! It just so happens that Ye Xun is in the capital, and Master Yang will come over. After all, you have met once before. Master Sun sent someone to inform King Fu's people and let them Contact Ye Xun by yourself, I think His Royal Highness Fu Wang can understand what we mean."

Ye Xun left the capital secretly. Although he didn't show up these days, everyone knew that he was the emperor's wedding ambassador, and the wedding was approaching, so logically he shouldn't have left.

The few Donglin bosses didn't know that their every move had long been under the close attention of Jin Yiwei, and even Ye Xun, who returned to the capital after a long journey, received the same news.

This is the biggest difference between the so-called upright people and those who are good at plotting. These Donglin Party members are not good at tricking people, and it can even be said to be their strong point, but they are far behind when it comes to plotting tricks.

Looking at the secret report sent by Jin Yiwei, Wei Zhongxian couldn't help laughing. The actions of the Donglin party members are self-inflicted. With these people behind him, he can better implement the plan.

Wei Zhongxian did not delay, and immediately sent the secret report that he had processed again to Zhu Youxiao.

Hearing the little eunuch beside him read the list and the content of the secret report submitted by Wei Zhongxian, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help being taken aback. He never expected that these Donglin Party members would be so bold.

After reacting, Zhu Youxiao's first thought was to make an order to arrest people, but before he could say anything, he stopped on his lips.

Turning to Wei Zhongxian, he said, "Do you think Ye Xun will stand by their side?"

Wei Zhongxian said with a smile on his face: "Your Majesty, Wanan, although the thief Ye has a heart of disrespect, I can assure you that he will never join forces with these Donglin party members."

Wei Zhongxian knew very well what Zhu Youxiao was afraid of, and Ye Xun was the only one who could really make Zhu Youxiao feel uncomfortable.

Wei Zhongxian knew that Ye Xun would not collude with the Donglin Party, but Zhu Youxiao was still a little worried.

Seeing that Zhu Youxiao was still looking at him with doubts, Wei Zhongxian continued to make amends and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, do you still remember that when Ye Xun came to Beijing, Han Kuang went to him, combined with this secret report, if Ye Xun really colluded with the Donglin Party members, I'm afraid It’s not what it is today.”

When Wei Zhongxian mentioned it, Zhu Youxiao immediately realized it, didn't he!At that time, Ye Xun's soldiers were suppressing the situation. If Ye Xun really wanted to change the emperor, and the Donglin Party members echoed him, he would have done the matter. Now it seems that Ye Xun is still on his side.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help being slightly moved, but it was quickly replaced by resentment. This Ye Xun humiliated him too much, even if he died a hundred times, it would not be too many.

"Snapped!"

He slapped the table violently, and said murderously, "Declarate my order, arrest all Donglin party members quickly, and kill anyone who resists!"

Zhu Youxiao was really angry. Since he succeeded to the throne, although he has become more and more alienated from the Donglin Party members, this is a balancing act of the emperor, and it will not really drive out these Donglin Party members. He is a good person, but he actually wants to unite with outsiders to overthrow him?Whether it is tolerable or unbearable, in this case, let them disappear completely!

Zhu Youxiao didn't know that it was actually Wei Zhongxian who persecuted the Donglin party members. He just made the Donglin party members think that he believed in Wei Zhongxian more.

With Zhu Youxiao's will, Wei Zhongxian almost jumped up for joy. Who else will be his opponent in this court from now on?

Following Wei Zhongxian's order, Dongchang and Jinyiwei were dispatched at the same time, and a large-scale arrest of officials from the Donglin party who were extremely close to them began.

The incident happened suddenly, and the Donglin party members had no defense at all, and they were almost wiped out.

In fact, although their conversation that day was somewhat rebellious, there was no evidence at all. The secret report that Zhu Youxiao saw was completely modified by Wei Zhongxian, and a fool would be angry if he read it, let alone Zhu Youxiao. He is illiterate, and others read to him.

You must know that Donglin party members still occupy important positions in the court. The two cabinet scholars, officials, rites, and inspectors are all prominent positions. Now they are suddenly arrested. Immediately there was an uproar in the capital.
