Bi Maoliang, a third-rank official who had just come from below the court, felt that the Ming Dynasty was about to end. What was the situation in the court?

At this moment, Qingliu or Donglin in the court is fighting with the eunuch party around Xiong Tingbi!

The Donglin Party was stubborn and had to seek justice for Xiong Tingbi, but the eunuch Party insisted on putting the defeat of Liaodong on Xiong Tingbi to implicate the Donglin Party who spoke fairly for Xiong Tingbi.

Xiong Tingbi was indeed wronged. Liaodong's defeat had nothing to do with him. To say that his actions in Liaodong were only merits and no mistakes. If he hadn't been in Shenyang, Jiannu would have broken Liaodong during the Wanli Dynasty.

The question is, the right and wrong here are not clear!

To put it bluntly, Tianqi is a otakus who loves carpenter work. He doesn't want to care about national affairs at all. He even let Wei Zhongxian do many things without understanding the causes and consequences.

If he really understands the causes and consequences, can he agree to Wei Zhongxian arrest Xiong Tingbi and let Wang Huazhen go?

If he really understands the causes and consequences, can he agree to Wei Zhongxian dismiss Nan Juyi, the hero who defeated the Dutch?

If he really understands the causes and consequences, can he be granted the marquis of Wei Liangqing and Wei Liangdong, who had never been to the battlefield, for military merits, for his military merits, and regardless of the true achievements of Ma Qiancheng and Yu Zigao?

He really didn't know anything and didn't want to know anything.

The most obvious example is that Wei Zhongxian’s nephew Wei Liangdong and nephew Wei Pengyi are still babies who are breastfeeding. They are actually awarded titles for their outstanding military achievements in the southeast and southwest!

He wants to know, can he believe that he has outstanding military achievements?

Can a baby about one year old go to the battlefield to kill the enemy?

Even if he loses his wisdom, he will not believe such a ridiculous thing!

At least, it will take two or three years old to walk before you can go to the battlefield, right?

The problem, he didn't know anything, just listened to Wei Zhongxian being fooled.

He even thought that Wei Zhongxian's family was full of loyal and martyrs, and Wei Zhongxian's nephew and grandson were rare generals!

Wei Zhongxian fooled Tianqi like a fool, and brought his godson and grandson to a high position, controlling almost all the vital yamen in the court.

At this time, he finally showed his fangs to Qingliu and Donglin and was about to use the knife.

After some careful preparation, he seized the opportunity and brought a bunch of memorials to the place where Tianqi did the carpenter's work.

When Tianqi saw that he was coming, he could only put down his work and asked helplessly: "What's the matter?"

Wei Zhongxian pretended to be honest and said, "The emperor, Yang Lian, Gao Panlong, Zuo Guangdou and others kept reporting, saying that Xiong Tingbi was wronged, so he begged the emperor to investigate clearly."

Uh, Yang Lian, Gao Panlong, Zuo Guangdou, these are all the heroes who saved him from the Qianqing Palace to succeed him. Tianqi has always kept it in his heart.

He couldn't help but curiously and said, "Is this Xiong Tingbi really wronged?"

Wei Zhongxian pretended to look at him secretly, and then said carefully: "Your Majesty, have you ever heard of the party struggle between the Donglin Party and the Qi Chuzhe Party?"

Tianqi naturally heard about this. These two gangs had fought in the Wanli Dynasty for more than 20 years, and even if he was a deaf person, he should have heard of it.

Tianqi said inexplicably: "I heard of it, what's wrong?"

Wei Zhongxian said seriously: "Your Majesty, it is precisely because the Donglin Party and the Qi, Chu, Zhejiang Party fought to the death that I felt that this matter was strange. You may not know yet. Xiong Tingbi is the backbone of the Chu Party, Yang Lian of Donglin, Gao Panlong, why did Zuo Guangdou desperately submit a memorial to speak good things for him?"

ah?

Tianqi couldn't help but be surprised and said, "Is Xiong Tingbi the backbone of the Chu party?"

Wei Zhongxian nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, Xiong Tingbi is from Jiangxia, Huguang, and he has the highest position in the Chu Party."

Tianqi said in confusion: "Why did Yang Lian, Gao Panlong and Zuo Guangdou fight to the point of making a fuss to speak nice things for him?"

Wei Zhongxian pretended to be patient and explained: "This slave has sent someone to investigate. This matter has a lot to do with a man named Wang Wenyan."

Tianqi couldn't help but say curiously: "Who is Wang Wenyan?"

Wei Zhongxian still explained slowly: "This Wang Wenyan was originally a prisoner in She County, Huizhou Prefecture, Nanzhili. He was born in a commoner and had no fame. However, he was cunning and made a lot of money for the previous county magistrates. The Donglin Party took advantage of his ability, so he recruited him into the capital and found a position as a Zhongshu Sheren, and made money for the Donglin Party. Rumors said that Wang Wenyan used his relationship to meet Xiong Tingbi in prison. Xiong Tingbi promised 40,000 taels of gold to help the Donglin Party. Therefore, although the Donglin Party was in the same power as the Qi, Chu and Zhejiang Party, he tried his best to report to him and say good things."

Is there such a thing?

Tianqi couldn't help but wonder: "Donglin hired a prisoner to make money for them? Can this prisoner from a civilian still become a minister of the Secretariat? Xiong Tingbi actually paid 40,000 taels of gold to ask the Donglin Party to rescue him? Is it true or false?"

Of course it is fake!

Donglin has always praised himself as Qingliu in the clear stream. How could he accept Xiong Tingbi's money? Xiong Tingbi would not bribe the Donglin Party even if he had money.

Xiong Tingbi wanted to bribe Wei Zhongxian. The price of the 40,000 taels of gold was given by Wei Zhongxian. As a result, Xiong Tingbi didn’t have so much money, so Wei Zhongxian used this as an excuse to swear to kill Xiong Tingbi!

Wei Zhongxian quickly added fire and said, "Oh, Your Majesty, you don't know. The Donglin Party members are lawless because of your favor. Wang Wenyan is indeed a prisoner. The Donglin Party members force him to be the Secretariat. As for whether his activities with Xiong Tingbi and the Donglin Party are real, they will know after being arrested and tried."

A prisoner really became a sectarian in the Secretariat?

What's it!

The big fucking official, Tianqi naturally didn't take it seriously. He nodded without hesitation and said, "Okay, arrest this Wang Wenyan, and examine it carefully to see what they are doing."

It's done!

In this tone, Tianqi had already doubted the Donglin Party. Yang Lian, Gao Panlong, and Zuo Guangdou were also within the scope of doubt!

As for Wang Wenyan, it is just a tool. Whether this guy can do it or not doesn’t matter what he wants.

The confession is ready, and it doesn’t matter if Wang Wenyan doesn’t recognize him or sign. It’s the same if he holds and presses his fingerprints or beats him to death and presses his fingerprints!

If we say that the Donglin Party is so weak in party struggles, there is no wink at all.

Xiong Tingbi was wronged. Yes, what does it have to do with them?

Xiong Tingbi is the backbone of the Chu party, and the Qi, Chu and Zhejiang party are fighting in the middle, so what are they involved in?

They just think that evil does not suppress righteousness, and as long as they have the integrity of their own body, they will be invincible.

But I know that many times, the Tao is one foot taller and the devil is one foot taller.

When the demon flame is rising, if you don’t understand the principle of being able to bend and stretch, then you are seeking death!

They are crazy, but they don’t know that even crazy needs to be divided.

When Wei Zhongxian caught Xiong Tingbi, they should have seen the tricks inside and let go quickly.

They are just a stubborn person. They shouldn't go crazy when they should be crazy and hand over the knife to Wei Zhongxian.

Yang Lian, Gao Panlong, Zuo Guangdou are all, they don’t know how to advance and retreat.

Xiong Tingbi was arrested and imprisoned. They didn't know how to escape and kept going crazy.

Wang Wenyan was arrested and imprisoned. They didn't know it was a plan, so they kept submitting memorials to save Wang Wenyan.

Don’t you know that their memorial was their own death talisman. When Tianqi saw it, he believed what Wei Zhongxian said even more.
