"Yes, as long as Wei Wei is defeated, the other members of the eunuch party have nothing to fear." Wang Wenyan looked at Han Xu.
If you want to use the censor of the Donglin Party in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, you can't avoid Han Xu, the boss of the Donglin Party and a cabinet bachelor.
Han Xu stroked his beard, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Does the chief assistant know about this?"
Chief Assistant Ye Xianggao is also one of the Donglin Party bosses.
"These are just my thoughts for the next time, and I haven't told the chief minister yet." Wang Wenyan said.
At this time, Zhao Nanxing said: "Brother Yu Chen didn't bring everyone here to discuss the matter of Datong. Why did he turn it to Wei Yi and let the tiger-character flag of Datong be ignored?"
"The root cause of the Datong incident lies in Wei Gong. If Wei Gong is not eliminated, even if the Datong incident is temporarily resolved, it will inevitably happen again in the future." Wang Wenyan explained to Zhao Nanxing.
Zhao Nanxing said: "Wei Eunuch has the favor of the Holy Emperor. It is not that easy to deal with him. I am afraid that relying on only one Metropolitan Procuratorate will not be able to do it. This matter needs long-term consideration."
"Wei Eunuch has done many bad things, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate can easily list many evidences of his crimes. I believe that the Holy One knows what Wei Eunuch has done and will never favor Wei Eunuch again." Yang Lian said.
The Metropolitan Procuratorate heard about the incident, and in his eyes, every one of Wei Gong's crimes was enough to send Wei Gong to jail for questioning.
Zhao Nanxing looked at Yang Lian and said, "It is easy to find a crime against Wei Eunuch, but it is difficult for the Holy One to deal with him. As long as the Holy One does not agree to plead guilty, Wei Eunuch will still be able to sleep peacefully."
"Then the Metropolitan Procuratorate keeps impeaching. I don't believe that the Holy Emperor will ignore the Ming Dynasty and let the eunuchs bring trouble to the country." Yang Lian said straightly.
Zhao Nanxing frowned slightly and said: "Wen Ru, you are too extreme. Doing this will only anger the Holy One and force the Holy One to choose between us and Wei Yi. It is not the time to take this step yet."
He has a high status in the Donglin Party, and Yang Lian is just a junior in front of him. Even if he scolds Yang Lian, Yang Lian has to listen.
Wang Wenyan sat speechless in his seat.
Zhao Nanxing's words seemed to refer to Yang Lian, but he also reminded him in a subtle way.
"Okay, the impeachment of Wei Eunuch will be decided after discussion between me and the chief minister. We won't argue about it here today." Han Xu smoothed things over.
Zhao Nanxing said: "I think the key to dealing with Wei Eunuch is to drive the Hakka family out of the palace. As long as there is no such person in the palace and only Wei Eunuch is left, it will be much easier to deal with."
"The Holy One has already come of age. It is really against the etiquette for the Hakka family to continue to stay in the palace. We can no longer keep the Hakka family in the palace to bewitch the Holy One." Yang Lian nodded in agreement with Zhao Nanxing's words.
Han Xu said: "Wen Ru, the Metropolitan Procuratorate will come forward to request the Hakka family to be released from the palace. Let's put aside the affairs of Datong for the time being. We will wait and see if there is a memorial from the border town to be submitted to the capital. If not, explain the tiger-character flag. The matter is not big, not as serious as what Yang Guozhu said, so let’s ignore it for now.”
"I will make plans when I get back, and this time I will expel the Hakka family from the palace." Yang Lian said firmly.
Zhou Xun, who left Han Xu's house, did not leave the capital immediately after sending off Tan Jing. He took the people who came to the capital with him and went to the house of a censor.
Originally, the censor was not on the list of gifts, but in order to visit the censor, Zhou Xun ordered an extra charcoal to bring with him.
"Sir, this is the house of Liu Yushi."
The carriage stopped in front of a house, and the driver said something to Zhou Xun in the car.
Zhou Xun lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage.
"Sir, the censor lives in a place like this. It's too shabby." A servant who was following Zhou Xun looked at the house in front of him and frowned.
During his stay in the capital, he followed Zhou Xun to visit all the important officials of the court, and all he saw were large houses. However, the courtyard in front of him was too ordinary. It was not much different from the houses of ordinary people. It was not at all different. It looks like the residence of a court official.
The driver who drove the carriage smiled and said: "The censor is a noble official. He is not as good as those local officials. Living here is already considered good."
The coachman was from the capital and was hired by Zhou Xun who came to the capital.
"Knock on the door!" Zhou Xun raised his finger and pointed at the courtyard door.
The servant walked over and came to the courtyard door, raised his hand and slapped the door nose a few times.
There was no concierge in the yard in front of him, and the servant was worried that the people inside wouldn't be able to hear. So he used a little force when slapping the door nose to make the sound of the door nose hitting the wooden door louder.
Not long after, footsteps came from the yard.
Soon, the far door was opened.
"Who are you looking for?"
"In the name of Mr. Yang, the deputy commander-in-chief of Datong, I am here to pay a visit to Mr. Liu. Please let me know." Zhou Xun stepped forward, took out a greeting card from his sleeve and handed it over.
The people who came out of the courtyard took the greeting card, held it in their hands, and said, "Just wait, I will go and inform you."
After saying that, the far door closed again.
Zhou Xun and his servants were waiting outside the door.
Not long after, footsteps were heard again in the yard. The same servant came out of the yard and said to Zhou Xun outside the door: "Come with me. Our hometown promised to see you."
After saying that, he turned around and led the way.
Zhou Xun walked into the courtyard with his servants.
The layout of the yard is very simple, with a courtyard in the front and a row of houses in the back for people to live in.
Zhou Xun followed the servant into the main room.
In the east room of the main room, there is a person sitting on a Taishi chair, holding a tureen in his hand and sipping tea.
Although Zhou Xun had never met Liu Yushi, the owner of this courtyard, when he saw the middle-aged man in front of him, he guessed that the man should be Liu Yushi. He immediately bowed and saluted and said, "Student Zhou Xun, I have met Master Liu. "
"No courtesy." Liu Bingyuanxu raised his right hand and said immediately, "Who are you from General Yang?"
"The student is currently a guest at Deputy General Yang's residence, doing some small things within his ability for Deputy General Yang." Zhou Xun introduced himself.
Liu Bingyuan nodded and said immediately: "I have been out of office for more than a year as the inspector of Datong. Your master asked you to come to my office. What do you mean?"
He has no friendship with Yang Guozhu, and Yang Guozhu is the commander-in-chief of the Xuanfu. He is just an ordinary censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Even if he wants to have a relationship with Yang Guozhu, Yang Guozhu may not pay attention to him.
However, the censor is the most noble official, and he doesn't bother to put down his dignity and make friends with a local commander-in-chief.
"To be honest with Mr. Liu, this time the student came here because he really has something to ask for." Zhou Xun bowed again.
After hearing this, Liu Bingyuan touched the gift list on the side with his fingers, and immediately said: "I am just a censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. I don't think there is anything I can do to help you, sir."
"I believe Mr. Liu must know about the tiger-character flag." Zhou Xun suddenly mentioned the name of the tiger-character flag.
