There is no place for the world. Yuan Dahai believes that God will always give him a chance. If he racks his brains to think of some unrealistic ideas, it is better to wait for the opportunity to come with a normal heart. In this way, Yuan Dahai and his four subordinates began their career in keeping the goal.

After calming down to guard the gate, Yuan Dahai found that guarding the gate for Wei Zhongxian was not worth anything, because every evening, there would always be a group of imperial officials coming to the gate of the Wei Mansion in groups. Through their posts, Yuan Dahai captured such a message that the Donglin Party is stepping up the purge of non-Donglin officials, and the final purge will be completed by the Beijing Inspection half a month later, because the host of this Beijing Inspection is Zhao Nanxing, Minister of Personnel.

Zhao Nanxing, a name that Yuan Dahai is not unfamiliar with. This person is extremely important in the Donglin Party. He is another Donglin boss after Gu Xiancheng, Li Sancai and others. His influence is far inferior to Ye Xianggao, the chief assistant of the Donglin Party. Historical records show that he is jealous of evil and supports the right and suppresses evil, but in Yuan Dahai's view, he is just a stupid old man who ignores the overall situation for the sake of the self-interest of the group. As for his reputation after his death, he is just a trick of his disciples and grandchildren.

It is precisely because of the Donglin officials like Zhao Nanxing who only care about the interests of small groups that the collapse of Donglin eventually led to the collapse of Donglin. In fact, the Donglin Party is now declining, and its control over the court is far less than that of two years ago. The first year of Tianqi and the second year of Tianqi were the most powerful times in the court. At that time, many centrist officials and even officials of other party members were dependent on Donglin. If the Donglin Party was lenient at this time, it would not be difficult to form a situation of monopolizing the court, and there would not be any opposition parties that were later despised as "eunuch party" by them.

But just when the situation was so good, the Donglin Party members were in a fever, especially Zhao Nanxing and others. They thought that the court was all members of their own party and could not tolerate other officials in their eyes, so they began to re-chase the "three cases", which made the city full of storms and rain. Fang Congzhe, who was already in his seventies, pointed out as the mastermind of the "Red Pill Case" to murder Emperor Taichang in the "Red Pill Case"! He was accused of "ten crimes and three to kill", and then accused the relevant officials involved of "great rebellion" and "unprecedented crimes", and all of them were "evil parties"!

This is naturally to capture all the officials of the Ming Dynasty who are not Donglin in one place and expel them from the court! Everyone knows that their sinister intentions are selfish and stupid, but what is ridiculous is that this blatant rejection of dissidents is just in the eyes of their Donglin Party, and represents justice. This tone has become a historical public opinion in the writings of them as disciples of traitors and even the parties involved! Whenever they think about this, Yuan Dahai always sighs softly, thinking that history is really a dress-up actor...

Under such strong suppression and exclusion of the Donglin Party, those non-Donglin officials had to find someone who could protect them. There was obviously no one in the court who could compete with the Donglin Party. So, their eyes turned to the inner court, and the Eunuch Wei, who had just been promoted to the eunuch of the Sili by Emperor Tianqi.

When the first official to defect to Wei Zhongxian became a horse bone, hundreds of officials arrived one after another. Since the first year of Tianqi, the tide of seeking favor to Eunuch Wei has never stopped. Therefore, the scene that Yuan Dahai saw in front of the Wei Mansion - these officials who came to ask for their visit with famous posts were obviously here to seek "eunuch party".

Yuan Dahai secretly investigated these officials and found that most of them were from Jinshi, and some of them had excellent official voices, but were excluded by them because they did not rely on the Donglin Party. To be fair, these officials' ability to do business is not weaker than those of Donglin officials. This is also the fundamental reason why the situation in the Ming Dynasty developed in a positive direction rather than deteriorating after the eunuch party came to power.

As the Beijing Inspection date approaches, more and more officials come to ask Wei Zhongxian to post to his disciples every day. The people naturally have no interest in what happened in the court and have no sense of smell. However, Yuan Dahai knew that this meant that a storm was coming, and although there was not much time left for the Donglin Party, how could there be more time left for himself!

Hurry, Yuan Dahai was anxious. It was fine for a day or two. After a few days, he couldn't calm down because so far, not only did he not see Wei Zhongxian, but he even hadn't seen a core member of the eunuch party. How could this work? Can Yuan Dahai change history if he can't gain capital from Wei Zhongxian's political struggle against the Donglin party?

But it is useless to be anxious. Wang Qinian is like a ghost, always suddenly jumping out when people don’t expect it. This makes Yuan Dahai unable to leave the Wei Mansion to go privately, and make some black materials to "stop the sedan chair" at the last moment.

Just when Yuan Dahai was most helpless and anxious, an inconspicuous person appeared but let him see hope.

.............

Under the night, a sedan chair hurried eastward. The man in the sedan chair lifted up the curtains from time to time and asked the sedan chair if he had arrived. His words were full of anxiety, but every time he heard the answer, he was stunned and disappointed.

The owners saw the anxiety of the master and heard it, but the mansion of the eunuch Wei, the eunuch of the East Factory, was in Dongcheng, and there were still miles away. How could he arrive just by saying it?

Because of the rush, I almost bumped into an oncoming carriage on the road. Fortunately, the coachman reacted quickly enough and was so anxious that he didn't hit each other. Amid the coachman's cursing, the sedan seemed to be in a hurry to reincarnate. He didn't care about it, and he ran forward quickly again, which surprised the pedestrians on both sides. I wonder what the people in the sedan were so anxious.

For the people in the sedan chair, this time he asked to see Eunuch Wei was really reincarnated, because only Eunuch Wei could save him now. If Eunuch Wei could help him, he would be his reborn parents!

This person's name is Cui Chengxiu, a Jinshi in the 41st year of Wanli. He was the censor in the first year of Tianqi. Later, he was the governor of Huaiyang. Since the Donglin Party gained power in the first year of Taichang, his party members have spread all over the court, occupied the cabinet, occupied key points, and appointed nepotism. The party and the party attacked the differences. The power is so strong that the people are looking at the middle and outside. There is a saying among the people that "Donglin World".

Because Donglin was powerful and no one in the court could defeat him. Out of self-protection, Cui Chengxiu wanted to join Donglin's disciples. So in the second year of Tianqi, Li Sancai, one of the "Three Heroes of Donglin", entered the cabinet, hoping to express his support for the Donglin Party in exchange for the acceptance of the Donglin Party members. Unexpectedly, his face was touched by the cold ass. Donglin Party members, Zhao Nanxing, who served as the Minister of Personnel, did not like him at all, and made Cui Chengxiu look dirty and lost all his face.

That's not all. Three days ago, I didn't know what the Donglin party members had taken the wrong medicine, so I suddenly pointed the finger at him. The Censor Gao Panlong said that he was corrupt and bribed. During the court, Zhao Nanxing, the Minister of Personnel, Sun Shenxing, the Minister of Rites, and Zou Yuanbiao, the Left Censor of the Censorate, and other Donglin party members directly proposed to impose Cui Chengxiu as a military officer. Because the chief assistant Ye Xianggao was also a member of the Donglin party, no one in the court dared to plead for Cui Chengxiu, so Cui Chengxiu's fate was decided. Soon the palace issued an edict to agree to dismiss Cui Chengxiu and wait for review.

As soon as the matter happened, Cui Chengxiu knew that something big was not good. The Donglin Party members have always been the same party and the dissent. From the first year of Taichang to the present, I don’t know how many three parties and officials who did not rely on him. They have no party and no support, and they have not hindered him from Donglin. However, they will suffer such a sudden disaster. The Donglin Party members are also bullying too much!

A scholar can tolerate it, but who can’t bear it! I said that I, Cui Chengxiu, are all the "gentlemen" of your Donglin Party clean?
