Fan Jingwen and Li Banghua looked at each other and found a hint of disappointment in each other's eyes. They thought that their colleagues in the party were like them, and they all had the ambition to revive the Ming Dynasty.

But now when I see it, I find that although my colleagues in my party have been clamoring for "for the country and the people", they are actually doing things for their own selfish desires and fighting against the differences, which disappoints them.

Fan Jingwen and Li Banghua naturally knew the ideas of Wang Shoulu, Lu Chengyuan and others, because when they first came back, they were no different from them.

At first they all believed that the new king expelled Wei Zhongxian and Cui Chengxiu and other eunuch party leaders were expelled shortly after they ascended the throne. I believe that the new king was extremely disliked by the eunuch party. The Donglin party members should seize the opportunity to establish their dominance in the court in one fell swoop and completely destroy the eunuch party.

However, although the new king was young, the emperor had no knowledge of his own mind and actually balanced the court. Although Wei Zhongxian and Cui Chengxiu were expelled from the capital, the eunuch party quickly formed a new eunuch party force with Huang Liji as the core.

Moreover, with the support of the emperor, the eunuch party's power was not much worse than that of Wei Zhongxian, Cui Chengxiu and others during their reign. Although their Donglin Party recalled a large number of backbones, it was excluded by the emperor and the eunuch party that occupied the majority of the cabinet. Most of them were arranged to sit on the bench and could only endure the qualifications.

But Fan Jingwen and Li Banghua are not listed here, and they don’t know what the emperor is interested in. Compared with the elders of Donglin such as Han Dong, Liu Zongzhou, Wen Zhenmeng, etc., their qualifications are far inferior, but they were valued by the emperor as soon as they entered the capital.

Now Fan Jingwen and Li Banghua have both been given the title of Minister of War, and have joined the Military Affairs Office to serve as Minister of Military Affairs and the governor of the Four Guards. They have control of 6,000 cavalry. They can be said to be one of the most trusted officials around the emperor, and their power is extremely grand.

Because he has power and has had a lot of contact with the emperor, Fan Jingwen and Li Banghua understand the difficulties of national affairs and the heavy burdens that the emperor bears.

Fan Jingwen and Li Banghua were both scholars and officials who were extremely loyal to the Ming Dynasty and the monarch, and they saw the pressure on the emperor and were anxious in their hearts. They wanted to take more responsibilities to relieve the pressure on the emperor.

The reason why they were invited to attend the Donglin Party members today was to win over more talents for the emperor and serve His Majesty.

But it is obvious that they are disappointed today. Although these colleagues who are also Donglin Party members are yelling to "for the country and the people", they are actually not concerned about the hardships of state affairs and the sufferings of the people. What they have been thinking about is still fighting for power and profit, and they just want to completely eradicate the eunuch party so as to replace the eunuch party in the court.

Li Banghua did not want to have any disputes with his colleagues in the party. At this time, he had already decided to leave and was about to find a reasonable excuse to leave Yajulou.

But Fan Jingwen is different. Perhaps he has been with the martial artist for more than a month, and has been infected with the martial artist's more direct and unconfused personality, so he even accused everyone of anger.

Fan Jingwen said bluntly: "My colleagues talk about the revival of the Ming Dynasty every day, but when the Ming Dynasty was in crisis and was in trouble with internal and external troubles, you were thinking about the overall situation of fighting for power and profit with the eunuch party, fighting against differences, and not tolerating each other for the country. To be honest, I am very disappointed with you. Today I am going to say goodbye!"

After saying that, Fan Jingwen stood up and left the table, leaving only a group of stunned Donglin Party members.

With Fan Jingwen leading the way, Li Banghua was too lazy to find any excuses to leave the table. He stood up suddenly and bowed to everyone: "I agree with Meng Zhang's words. Please take them as a warning and say goodbye!"

After saying that, Li Banghua also left without looking back.

As soon as Fan Jingwen and Li Banghua left, the remaining Donglin Party members looked at each other, especially Yao Ximeng, Wang Shoulu, Lu Chengyuan and other people who advocated impeachment of Xu Xianchun, their faces were even more astonished.

They were determined and wanted to take advantage of this secret meeting of the Donglin Party to unite the majority of party members and launch a tide of impeachment offensive against Xu Xianchun. Even if Xu Xianchun is in a position to ensure that the emperor is unscathed, he would let the emperor see the power of their Donglin Party and give the emperor a warning.

But they never expected that Fan Jingwen and Li Banghua, who were originally the backbone of Donglin like them, had already been firmly connected by the emperor and did not accept their tricks at all.

The embarrassing atmosphere lasted for a while, and then Wang Shoulu broke his silence: "Hmph! I don't plan to each other. I think there is no need to invite Fan Mengzhang and Li Meng to secretly join the party in the future. It will also wipe out everyone's interest when they come!"

Lu Chengyuan also said unhappily: "That's right, Fan Mengzhang, Li Mengan is too ignorant. Brother Qiandu, if there is a party in the future, if they are invited to come, please forgive me for not being with me. If they stay, I will leave!"

Zhang Pu quickly stood up and apologized: "I am not thinking well. I didn't expect that the famous Fan Mengzhang and Li Mengan are actually unworthy of their reputation. I swear that if there is a party in the future, I will never invite these two people. I would like to forgive me."

Although Zhang Pu has a great reputation in the southeast, and the heroic article "The Tombstone of Five People" written half a year ago has even pushed him to the position of leader of Fushe, Zhang Pu has not yet participated in the imperial examination. Compared with Huang Daozhou, Wang Shoulu, Lu Chengyuan and others, he is still a minority.

So in the face of public anger, Zhang Pu had to stand up and apologize and promised everyone that he would never invite Fan Jingwen and Li Banghua to the Donglin Party party.

However, although Zhang Pu was so humble that he apologized to everyone, he was actually very happy.

Before holding this party, Zhang Pu had already gone south to Luoyang and contacted King Fu's father and son Zhu Changxun and Zhu Yousong.

With his perfect tongue and the huge financial resources provided by Fushe, Zhang Pu quickly gained the trust of King Fu and his son and became a guest of honor in King Fu's Mansion.

Faced with the olive branch handed over by Zhang Pu on behalf of the Donglin Party, King Fu and his son accepted it with a smile. King Fu Zhu Changxun secretly appointed Zhang Pu as the chief aide of the royal palace and asked the prince Zhu Yousong to become his teacher.

In this way, Zhang Pu privately formed close allies with King Fu and his son, which was a great success and a loss.

After becoming the teacher of Prince Fu, Zhang Pu's mind changed drastically. He believed that instead of working hard in the officialdom step by step to gain the favor of Zhu Youjian, it would be better to plan for Prince Fu and his son and directly support Prince Fu to the throne.

If he succeeded, with his teacher-student relationship with Prince Fu and his unparalleled contribution to help Prince Fu ascend the throne, Zhang Pu believes that it is definitely a foregone conclusion that he will enter the cabinet and become the chief minister of the cabinet in the future, so why not do it?
