"Mr. Wang is right. The winter on the grassland is colder than in the capital. It is freezing cold. This season is not suitable for building a fort. No matter how stupid the people in the Tiger Flag are, they will not build a fort at this time." Minister Zhao Nanxing said.
It is common sense that winter is not suitable for building houses. Although he, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, does not know much about craftsmen, he also knows that houses cannot be built in winter, otherwise they will easily collapse in the coming year.
Yang Lian frowned and said: "So, this tiger-character flag may have been built on the grassland before winter, but I have never heard it mentioned in the local government, let alone Tumo What happened to the special King Shunyi?"
The patrol commissioners in various places all come from the Metropolitan Procuratorate. As the deputy censor of Zuodu, he can be said to be directly subordinate to the superior official for the local patrol commissioners.
"The cabinet has not received any news from the border about King Shunyi and Tumote." Han Xu added.
All memorials sent to the capital from the local government must be sent to the cabinet first. Matters involving the Mongols are important matters, and it is impossible to hide them from him, the cabinet minister.
Yang Lian added: "Lao Ge and Xiaguan and others knew that the Tiger-Charactered Flag went to the grassland to build a fort. It was a letter sent from Yang Guozhu, the deputy general of Datong. Xiaguan wondered if it was possible that the Tiger-Charactered Flag did not go to the grassland. The construction of the fort was all intentional by Yang Guozhu."
"Regardless of whether the content of the letter is true or false, we must not ignore it. Don't forget that Liaodong already has a Hou Jin, and the Ming Dynasty can no longer withstand an An Da Khan." Han Xu reminded.
The Ming Dynasty's finances were not enough to support the Ming Dynasty in opening a second battlefield, and they could only appease the Mongols. As the elder, he knew very well that the Ming Dynasty was unable to fight the Mongols.
Otherwise, when Chahar deceived Wang Huazhen and made Ming Dynasty swallow such a bitter pill, he would not let it go. If he were in the Wanli Dynasty, Chahar and Lin Dan Khan would never be spared easily.
Yang Lian suggested: "Since there is no local report, it is better to send the censor from the Metropolitan Procuratorate to Datong to see if there is the situation mentioned in Yang Guozhu's letter."
"The governor of Datong is a member of Wei Eunuch. I'm afraid Wei Eunuch will not let officials from the capital go to investigate Datong." Zhao Nanxing said.
Because of the Tiger-Character Banner rebellion, the governor of Datong could not escape the responsibility of oversight. Because Wei Zhongxian spoke up to the emperor and kept his position as governor, he was also labeled as an eunuch.
"Then don't care?" Yang Lian frowned deeply.
As a cadre of the Donglin Party, he was dissatisfied with the eunuchs. The obstacle to the success of the government was the eunuchs. Since ancient times, the eunuchs had been the ones who caused trouble for the government. As a civil servant, he was naturally at odds with the eunuchs.
"Several adults." Wang Wenyan clasped his fists and said, "The tiger-character flag is not important, and Datong is not important either. Wei Yi is the bane of our Ming Dynasty."
As soon as he opened his mouth, Han Xu and others all looked over.
Zhao Nanxing said: "What advice does Mr. Wang have?"
"I believe that the key to solving the Datong issue lies with Wei Eun. Whether it is the governor of Datong or the tiger-character flag, they are all related to Wei Eun. As long as Wei Eun is removed, the Datong issue will naturally be resolved." Wang Wenyan said.
Yang Lian said angrily: "The eunuchs of Wei and the Hakka family confuse the emperor, and there are complaints both inside and outside the palace. We, the loyal and wise ministers, will definitely kill these two thieves and restore peace to the court."
"Wei Eunuch deceives the saints inside and colludes with important officials in the court outside. Once he becomes powerful, this person will definitely bring disaster to the world, far more than the harm caused by Jiannu." Wang Wenyan said.
Han Xu looked at Wang Wenyan and said, "Is the important minister in the court that Mr. Wang mentioned is Xianbo?"
Xianbo is the surname of Wei Guangwei, the cabinet minister.
At this time, Zhao Nanxing, who was sitting aside, suddenly snorted coldly.
"It's this person." Wang Wenyan said, while taking a careful look at Zhao Nanxing.
Yang Lian said coldly: "This person is also a wise person in reading, but he dances with the eunuchs and loses his face as a scholar. He studied hard for ten years in a cold window, and all the books he read went into the dog's belly."
"I heard that this person is from the same hometown as Wei Zhongxian?" Han Xu looked at Zhao Nanxing.
Wei Guangwei's father Wei Yunzhen and Zhao Nanxing were good friends, and many people in the court knew about this.
Zhao Nanxing said with an ugly face: "That's true."
"It's a pity. If I had put more thought into his transfer from Nanjing to the capital, this man wouldn't have defected to the Wei Dynasty." Han Xu sighed.
Wei Guangwei was recommended to the capital from Nanjing by Wei Zhongxian. Now that he has joined the cabinet, he and the Donglin Party are no longer of the same mind. Instead, he has become an important member of the eunuch Party in the cabinet.
With the addition of Wei Guangwei to the cabinet, the Donglin Party is no longer under one roof.
"Wei Wei bribed this person with a little favor. How can he still have the character of a scholar? How could the Holy Emperor agree to let this person enter the cabinet? He must have been deceived by Wei Wei again." Yang Lian said angrily.
Since the Taichang period, the Donglin Party has begun to control the imperial court. In the Tianqi Dynasty, the cabinet was formed from Donglin. Now there is an eunuch in the cabinet, which makes him feel very uncomfortable.
Not only was Wei Gong not executed under their pressure, but he became even more powerful.
Wang Wenyan said: "It seems that Wei Ge's popularity is rising when Wei Ge Lao joins the cabinet, but I don't think Wei Ge Lao is a member of the eunuch party. As long as Wei Ge Lao is removed, Wei Ge Lao may not be able to change his ways."
"Mr. Wang is saying that Xianbo seems to be a member of the eunuch party, but he is not a member of the eunuch party." Han Xu said with a frown.
Wang Wenyan nodded and said, "I would like to say something rebellious. Mr. Wei Ge is a speculator. He is not like Gu Bingqian who is so determined to rebel against Wei Gong."
Han Xu nodded slightly.
Although Wei Guangwei was recommended by Wei Zhongxian for joining the cabinet, more importantly, he had sufficient qualifications. Even without Wei Zhongxian, if he had the chance, he would still be able to take charge of the Sixth Department even if he could not join the cabinet.
"People who are both snake and rat are even more despicable." Yang Lian said disdainfully.
Zhao Nanxing said at this time: "The key lies in Wei Gong. Now the Holy Emperor has more and more trust in Wei Gong. In the court, there are many people from the Qi and Chu parties who rebelled against Wei Gong. There are many people like Gu Bingqian and Xu Dahua, and there are Wei Gong in the cabinet." If there are eunuchs, it is inevitable that the six tribes will be controlled by eunuchs in the future."
Two years after the Apocalypse, Wei Zhongxian not only was not executed despite repeated suppression by the Donglin Party, but the power of the DPRK and China grew stronger. Many officials from other parties who had been suppressed by the Donglin Party turned to Wei Zhongxian.
"The key to killing Wei Yi lies in the Metropolitan Procuratorate." Wang Wenyan turned his head and looked at Yang Lian.
Yang Lian looked surprised.
Han Xu was thoughtful, thought of something, and said, "Is it possible that Mr. Wang wants to use the help of the Metropolitan Procuratorate to participate in the performance of Wei Yi?"
The Metropolitan Procuratorate has always been controlled by the Donglin Party. Whenever the Donglin Party wants to impeach anyone or does anything through the Beijing Procuratorate, it can achieve good results through the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
In the beginning, we relied on the Beijing Procuratorate and the Metropolitan Procuratorate to clear out members of the Qi Party and the Chu Party.
