Forbidden City, Qianqing Palace, Imperial Study Room.

The sun has set, and the dark night has enveloped Emperor Tianqi's palace. Emperor Tianqi, who was about to rest, was called up and came to the front of the imperial study. Emperor Tianqi's face was not very good-looking, and he was obviously not happy to be disturbed.

Looking at Luo Sigong and Wei Chao who were saluting him, Emperor Tianqi frowned slightly. It was rare for these two people to come so neatly. It seemed that something really happened this time.

"Get up!" After waving to the two of them, Emperor Tianqi continued: "What are you two doing here at this late hour? Is there anything you have to say today?"

"Your Majesty, the information that Dongchang's spies have just learned is of great importance. I don't dare to delay and come and start the report immediately." Wei Chao ignored Luo Sigong who was fuming and said with a smile. He just looked at Luo Sigong with a look in his eyes. It has a strong sense of provocation.

"Luo Aiqing, what about you?" Emperor Tianqi turned his attention to Luo Sigong. He naturally noticed Wei Chao's gaze. He thought that the information they heard this time was the same, but he didn't know who had more comprehensive information. Some.

"Back to Your Majesty, the Jinyiwei spies heard that Donglin Party members were gathering at Yang Lian's house in the military department tonight. The initiator was Sun Shenxing, the Minister of Rites, and the discussion was about the impeachment of Fang Congzhe, the chief academic scholar, and the removal of Mr. Fang. The matter of electing a new cabinet bachelor later." When Luo Sigong saw Emperor Tianqi asking him, he quickly told the matter. The depression of being overtaken by the Wei Dynasty just now was slightly relieved, and he couldn't help but look at the Wei Dynasty provocatively.

"Well, who are participating? What are their attitudes?" After hearing what the two said, Emperor Tianqi sneered in his heart. It seems that these people have made up their mind to move to Fang Congzhe this time.

Just as Luo Sigong was about to speak, Wei Chao rushed over and said: "Your Majesty, this was recorded by the spies of Dongchang. What everyone who attended this party said, it's all there." Wei Chao said as he said This memorial was handed to Emperor Tianqi.

After taking a look at the two people who were fighting over each other, Emperor Tianqi suddenly felt a little funny in his heart. He glanced at the two people and said expressionlessly: "Okay, take out all your notes! I will record your achievements. Got off."

"Your Majesty, in addition to the Donglin Party, all the adults from the Qi, Zhejiang and Chu Party have also gathered together tonight. The gathering place is the residence of the Chief Minister Fang Congzhe." The two handed the memorial to Chen Hong, who was aside. At the same time, Wei Chao slowly told another piece of news. Luo Sigong looked at Emperor Tianqi carefully, and saw Emperor Tianqi waving his hand to go back. The two of them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and left as if they had been granted amnesty.

Looking at the backs of Wei Chao and Luo Sigong walking out, Emperor Tianqi's face suddenly became gloomy and terrifying. Looking at the memorial in his hand, Emperor Tianqi sneered and whispered: "Things are not as simple as you think. Let's wait and see."

There was nothing arranged. When Emperor Tianqi went back to sleep, three people were still discussing. These three people were the three main figures of the Donglin Party. They all reported to Yang Lian, Minister of Civil Affairs Zhou Jiamo, and Dali Temple Shaoqing Zuo Guang. There was a fight, and the place where the three of them discussed was Yang Lian's bedroom.

After Zhou Jiamo stood up and left, Zuo Guangdou chased him and successfully caught him. They waited until everyone had left Zuo Guangdou and then came to Yang Lian's bedroom.

"Brother Zhou, what do you think of today's events?" Yang Lian gently put down the teacup in his hand, raised his head and stared at Zhou Jiamo with bright eyes, his tone full of expectation.

Zhou Jiamo's face was ugly at this time and kept changing. He thought for a moment and said slowly: "If the king is not secretive, he will lose his country, and if the minister is not secretive, he will lose his identity. At such a high-profile gathering, I am really afraid that others will not be secretive."

Knowing that we have formed a party, do you two know what is connected with forming a party?"

Before the two of them could speak, Zhou Jiamo continued: "It's for selfish reasons. Do you two still remember why you joined the Donglin Party?" After saying this, Zhou Jiamo looked at the two of them with piercing eyes, his eyes unusually sharp.

"Of course, when I was young and frivolous, I always held the ideal of serving the country and the people. I went to Donglin Academy to study and stayed there for a while. I felt that the literati there were the hope of the country. They read the books of sages and understood the righteousness.

, willing to sacrifice his life, so he joined the Donglin Party." Yang Lian smiled softly, but his smile was a bit bitter, and his words were also very emotional.

Looking at the two people talking, Zuo Guangdou hurriedly said: "I was deceived. I don't know what the Donglin Party is. I just have the same goals as Yang Lian. He introduced some of his friends to me

, How did I know there was any party struggle here! When I knew it, it was already too late." Zuo Guangdou glared at Yang Lian fiercely. It was obvious that he had been feeling very wronged and resentful for so many years.

"Yes! We were young and frivolous, and we once served the country and the people, but after so many years, what are we doing? Fighting for power and profit, disregarding the country's justice for our own interests, maybe we can say that we have no choice, but really

Is that so? We have been in the Donglin Party for so many years. Don’t we know what this party is like?” Zhou Jiamo’s tone was very declining. He had been unable to achieve his ambitions for so many years and had empty ambitions but could not display them. For Zhou Jiamo,

It's a very happy thing.

"Haha, I only discovered later that the Donglin Party is not as simple as it seems. I was too young at the time. As my status gradually improved, I realized that Donglin Academy has salt merchants and merchants from the southeast.

Funded by the landlords. And seven floors in the entire academy are their disciples or their supporters. These people are the backbone of the Donglin Party. We people, alas!" Yang Lian's sigh was very...

It's meaningful.

Glancing at the decadent two people, Zhou Jiamo smiled strangely and continued: "What happened this time is obvious. These people want to drive away Fang Congzhe of the Chu Party and put their own people on their side. I think it is that person. I think."

They wanted to take advantage of the emperor's youth and lack of understanding of the situation in the court to cut through the mess quickly and further increase their control over the court. But have these people thought about what happened to so many people who dominated the court and the opposition in history? They thought they could do it

Cao Mengde?"

"It has been more than 200 years since the Ming Dynasty. Wang Zhen and Liu Jin have been so hard to ignore, but what happened in the end? Zhang Jiangling, the grand master at that time, was so strong, but what happened in the end? Not to mention these villains who are only for their own selfish interests? The so-called

What kind of things are the Donglin Party?" Zhou Jiamo's words were loud and clear, his expression was very excited, and the beard on his face was trembling.
