If you want Wei Zhongxian to make a comeback, the degree of difficulty is actually a bit high.
Although Wei Zhongxian has held great power for many years, he has used his power too roughly. In the face of the Donglin Party, he has never been able to attack the point.
When he was at his peak, he was indeed nine thousand years old. With just one sentence, he could send any official to prison. After being tortured, the evidence was conclusive and he was dragged out and executed.
But he never thought that for so many years, he had killed the Donglin Party members like chickens. Why couldn't he kill them all?
No matter how he kills, there will always be a new Donglin Party. No matter how he controls the government, there will always be a new Donglin Party among those who are promoted.
Do you really think that the Donglin Party is our party and can be indomitable and willing to die rather than surrender? Faced with severe torture, the confiscation of your family and the genocide, you can always firmly safeguard your beliefs?
It's ridiculous, the reason why he never defeated the Donglin Party is because he didn't even have the idea to defeat them.
The Donglin Party is not a pure party. In fact, the so-called Donglin Party is somewhat similar to the senior officials of the current US government. They are the spokespersons of the interest groups behind it. Among them, the Jiangnan Chaebol is the representative.
In a sense, these plutocrats hidden behind are the real Donglin Party. As for those people in the court, they have as many as they want. What scholars do not have.
Although Wei Zhongxian arranged a large number of his own people, the people he arranged were all useless people who were bought and sold to make money. The promotion channels for those scholars were actually still in the hands of the Donglin Party.
Do you think the Donglin Party has no money? That's just their superficial persona. Backed by the support of the Jiangnan chaebol, Wei Zhongxian's little family property is just a fraction of theirs. No matter how Wei Zhongxian arranges his own people, their people can still get to power smoothly.
Even Wei Zhongxian's people didn't know that they had arranged for someone from the Donglin Party to take over. Most of them were just collecting money to do things.
Since then, on the surface, Wei Zhongxian has controlled everything and has unlimited power. But in fact, at the root, the Donglin Party has already infiltrated him. Wei Zhongxian has such huge power, and when the new emperor came to power, he was defeated in one sentence
Abyss. Maybe this is the truth. His rights actually feel like a castle in the air, too empty!!
The main reason why Wei Zhongxian can still sit still now is that he controls two violent organizations, Jinyiwei and Dongchang. This is also where Wei Zhongxian is smart. Although he cannot see the real core of this battle, he understands one thing.
The thing is, you have to hold the knife in your own hands.
It's a pity that Chongzhen, a fool, threw away the knife himself!!!
"The plan for the emperor's fall into the water started a year ago. I don't know how many links there were, but there was no flaw. Now, they are using this to attack Wei Zhongxian. There are definitely other tricks. We can take advantage of them.
, but you can only follow the opponent's butt. It won't last long. If you want to make a comeback, you need to get rid of the bottom of the pot."
Lu Wenzhao glanced at Lu Xiao. He had worked with Lu Xiao for many years. He had watched Lu Xiao rise from the general banner to a thousand households in eight years. He knew the strategy in the heart of this brother who had been through life and death together.
"You want to attack the Donglin Party directly, which one should you start with?"
"No, this time we have to change the method. Wei Zhongxian has killed many Donglin Party members, but the result is still the same. To deal with an existence like the Donglin Party, killing is useless. This time we will change the method and kill the heart.
"
………………
Rumor is one of the favorite tricks of the Donglin Party. From ancient times to the present, countless capable ministers have fallen to this trick.
Up to now, there are all kinds of short essays on the Internet. There is no cost, just choose a public figure at random, and then use your imagination to make up a story.
Then post it on the Internet.
But in the Ming Dynasty, this trick was only in the hands of a few people. The reason was simple: the spread of information was slow and the people were uneducated.
Especially the latter, even if you write a short composition and post it, those people will not understand it at all.
Wei Zhongxian's killing of the Donglin Party was like killing a chicken, and he clearly had a huge advantage. However, his reputation among the people was that people scolded him, and at least he said "castrate a dog".
Because the Donglin Party represents the attitude of most scholars. The only way for most people to obtain information about the DPRK and China is through the nearest teacher, or Tong Sheng Xiucai.
And the scholars in the world, according to their masters and apprentices, and their regions, are generally intertwined. Like a spider web, they are spread throughout the Ming Dynasty.
As a result, the Donglin Party seemed to be losing ground, but it always firmly controlled the direction of public opinion. Once it gained momentum, Wei Zhongxian was directly defeated.
Lu Xiao came outside a room in the backyard of his home.
A Jinyi guard was standing guard there. When he saw Lu Xiao coming, he quickly stepped forward to salute.
"I have met Mr. Qianhu."
"Well, how are you doing?"
"As far as I can tell you, sir, everything has been arranged and there will be absolutely no problem."
"That's good, Ling Yunkai, how long has it been since you were promoted to the position of commander-in-chief."
"Sir, it's been two years."
"It's been two years, time flies so fast. I still remember the scene when the factory owner handed you over to me."
“It all depends on adults’ cultivation.”
"There is no need to say too many polite words. We all work for the factory owner. If this matter comes to pass, I will guarantee you a hundred households."
Ling Yunkai knelt on one knee on the spot.
"I am willing to die for my lord!"
"Get up, you can go back and rest. I'll leave this place to you."
After Ling Yunkai left, Lu Xiao walked into the room.
In the room was a woman with a sallow complexion and a withered complexion. She was wearing shabby farm clothes. She was sitting quietly on a stool, motionless, like a ghost.
Lu Xiao's arrival did not make the other party react at all.
"How are you doing here?"
"Is it time?" The woman asked directly without answering.
"tomorrow."
"good."
"...Let me confirm one last time, who is your enemy?"
"Han Kuang."
"Do you know him?"
"I've secretly seen the guy outside the door many times."
"What grudge do you have against him?"
"His nephew seized my land, broke my man's legs, and threw my four-year-old child into the well. The county magistrate refused to even see me. Isn't it because Han Kuang is a high official in the capital?
What!"
"Very good, do you know what to do then?"
"I know, I've practiced it many times."
"...If you don't want to do it, I..."
"No need, I almost threw myself into the river, but you saved me. The man is dead and the child is gone. I've been holding on until now, just waiting for today."
Lu Xiao said nothing, he took out a dagger, put it on the table, then turned and left.
