"The reason in the memorial is that Fang Congzhe colluded with Concubine Zheng, and once rewarded Li Kezhuo for presenting the elixir red pill, but did not hold Li Kezhuo accountable afterwards and just drove him back home. So Fang Congzhe and Concubine Zheng

I have colluded with Li Kezhuo, and I hope your Majesty will deal with it seriously." When Li Lan said this, her face was very cautious. She had experienced this incident before. At this time, she couldn't help but think of the performance of Emperor Tianqi at that time. Emperor Tianqi at that time

Like a ferocious beast that chooses and devours people, it is extremely ferocious.

Seeing Emperor Tianqi touching the sword in his hand, Li Lan shivered. She still remembers that bloody night in the palace. Countless eunuchs and maids were executed. Emperor Tianqi originally said that he would rather kill by mistake.

Don't let it go. Too many people died that day, and the Forbidden City smelled of blood for many days. Many people even dare not leave their houses at night.

Li Lan couldn't help complaining about these ministers. This incident caused Emperor Tianqi to clean up the palace. It had been so long, why did he mention it again? In Li Lan's view, Emperor Tianqi had never forgotten the cause of his father's death.

, so she was always careful with what she said, for fear of offending Emperor Tianqi.

Looking at Emperor Tianqi's gloomy face, Li Lan did not dare to say a word, and his body seemed to be trembling.

The next day, Emperor Tianqi did not attend the morning court. Although all the ministers felt strange, they did not inquire in depth.

The emperor did not go to court, and it was not the eunuchs who were anxious but the ministers of the court. At this time, Sun Shenxing, the Minister of Rites, could not sit still. After his memorial was handed over, it was like a mud cow drowning in the sea, and there was no news. This morning, Emperor Tianqi also

Without going to court, this made Sun Shenxing very anxious. He originally thought that Emperor Tianqi would bring this matter to the court for discussion, so with his own power, he could definitely drive Fang Congzhe out of this position. It seemed that this day

It was very peaceful and nothing happened, but many people felt very uneasy.

As the sun set, the sun cast a layer of golden light over the capital. On this night, two groups of people were gathering.

The first group was at Yang Lian's residence in the military capital. Participants included Zuo Guangdou, the cadre of the Donglin Party, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, Zhou Jiamo, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, Zou Yuanbiao, the Prime Minister of the Guanglu Temple, Sun Shenxing, the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, and Dong in Beijing.

The main members of the Lin Party.

The second group was at the residence of Fang Congzhe, the chief assistant of the cabinet. Liu Yijing, who attended the cabinet college, Huang Kezan, the secretary of the Ministry of punishment, Wang Zhidao, the imperial censor, Wang Qing, and the main officials of the Qi, Zhejiang and Chu parties.

In the back house of Yang Lian's mansion, these people sat down separately as guests and hosts, but their eyes were all focused on Sun Shenxing, the Minister of Civil Affairs.

"Master Sun, I don't know why you called everyone here this time. You can talk about it now!" The one who spoke was Zuo Guangdou, the young minister of Dali Temple. Although everyone belonged to the Dongling Party, Zuo Guangdou was very fond of these people.

I don't think so. It's really against the way of a scholar to think about how to contribute to the country every day and always think about how to increase the power in one's hands.

"Okay! Let me tell you. Yesterday, I presented a memorial to Fang Congzhe, the chief minister of the cabinet. After the memorial was handed over, it should have been in the hands of His Majesty, but there is no news so far, and His Majesty

I didn’t go to the morning court today." Sun Shen stopped talking in jargon at this point, because he believed that these people could understand him.

"I wonder what the crime was?" Someone asked impatiently.

"It was colluding with Concubine Zheng and Li Kezhuo to murder the late emperor." As soon as Sun Shenxing said these words, there was a sudden silence in the hall, and you could hear a needle drop.

"I wonder what Mr. Sun thinks of doing this? There are no outsiders here, so you might as well tell me." Yang Lian gently put down the teacup in his hand and said slowly, the expression on his face did not change at all, and there was no one there.

I can see what this adult is thinking.

"Everyone knows that we, the people, have come together for the sake of our country, our country, and the world. How can a moth like Fang Congzhe stay in this court? He should be pulled down at this time, and then we can jointly recommend a more suitable person.

He became the chief and assistant minister of the cabinet." Although Sun Shenxing's words were short and somewhat incomprehensible, everyone present understood them clearly. At this time, the Donglin Party's wings were already full, and they could unseat Fang Congzhe, the leader of the Chu Party.

Replace with your own people.

After Sun Shenxing finished speaking, the hall fell silent. After a moment of silence, Zou Yuanbiao, the Prime Minister of Guanglu Temple, said loudly: "It is our duty to teach traitor Fang a lesson in the palace meeting tomorrow."

Following Zou Yuanbiao's words, the room suddenly became lively. It seemed that Fang Congzhe was the most treacherous official in the world. If he was not exterminated, the people's anger would not be enough, and if he was not killed, it would not be enough to uphold the law of the country.

But no matter how these people quarreled, three people remained silent. These three people were Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou, and the newly appointed Minister of Civil Affairs, Zhou Jiamo.

Seeing that the three people were silent, the room gradually became quiet, and everyone's eyes were focused on the three people.

"Brother Zhou, what do you think of this matter?" Yang Lian looked at Zhou Jiamo and asked expressionlessly.

"I still have some things at home that I won't tell you, but I have some good advice. As the saying goes, a gentleman is a friend but not a party, and a villain is a party but not a group. You should just take care of yourself!" After saying this, Zhou Jiamo ignored him.

Everyone bowed their hands and turned to leave.

Seeing Zhou Jiamo walking out, everyone present looked at each other in confusion. They didn't know what was wrong with Mr. Zhou? Why did he have this attitude? They all turned their attention to Yang Lian.

"Brother Zhou, wait a minute, I'll go with you." Following these words, a man strode out without even a courtesy.

Seeing Zuo Guangdou leaving, everyone began to make small calculations in their hearts. Sun Shenxing, the Minister of Rites on one side, was stunned. Then there was anger. The anger could not be increased. He couldn't help but pat the table and stood up, shouting loudly.

He said: "Shu Zi, shortcomings and strategies."

Looking at the angry Sun Shenxing, Yang Lian frowned slightly and pondered for a moment. He knew that today's matter could not be discussed anymore, so he couldn't help but said slowly: "Everyone, let's do this for today! After all, it's a big deal, I

Think carefully tonight, and I will go see Brother Zuo and Brother Zhou tomorrow and make a decision."

After listening to Yang Lian's words, Sun Shenxing flicked his sleeves, turned around and left, followed by everyone else.

After everyone had left, on the roof of Yang Lian's mansion, two men in black suddenly stood up and flew away in two different directions.
