Nanjing in July was so dull that there was no wind, and there was no cloud floating in the sky, and the whole world seemed to be stagnant. Gao Hongtu, the Minister of Revenue in Nanjing, sat in the pavilion, just closed his eyes to rest. The others in the pavilion were also in a daze and did not discuss it.

Under the guidance of Gao Hongtu's family, Shi Kefa quickly walked into the pavilion. There were many people in the pavilion who had white hair. When Shi Kefa came in, they all stood up to greet him.

Shi Kefa first met Gao Hongtu who was welcomed. He saw Zhang Shenyan with silver hair in the crowd, and Shi Kefa hurried forward and said, "I didn't expect Mr. Miaoshan is here." Zhang Shenyan is the recommended person of the leader of the Donglin Party, and Shi Kefa is also a student of Zuo Guangdou in Donglin, so he naturally dare not meet with his official position. Moreover, Zhang Shenyan is the Minister of Personnel in Nanjing and is in charge of the Right Commander, and is nominally inferior to Shi Kefa.

Zhang Shenyan smiled slightly and sat down immediately.

Shi Kefa saw Lu Daqi present again, and went up to greet him, and then bowed to him to celebrate with him.

After this incident, Shi Kefa secretly thought that Mr. Yao had miscalculated this time. Everyone here is Donglin gentlemen, how could there be those unjust arguments?

"Dao Neighbor," Gao Hongtu said to Shi Kefa, "What do you say today when you meet the eunuch Wang and the boss of Xin Cheng?"

"The eunuch Wang just asks for money, and Xin Chengbo only knows how to smooth things over. What can he say?" Shi Kefa smiled bitterly, and then said, "Can you find a way to save the country?"

Gao Hongtu glanced at Zhang Shenyan and said, "Not to mention saving the country, let alone saving the priest first."

"The emperor is now stationed in Tai'an Prefecture, and he is just a little while away. What should I save?" Shi Kefa asked with a frown.

Lu Daqi said bluntly: "Sima Gong, Laizhou is only more than 1,400 miles from Nanjing, why haven't he arrived from March to July? Instead, there were several imperial edicts, which were easily supervised and governed. There were even horrifying things like enthroned kings of different surnames! Don't Sima Gong think it's strange?"

"First," Shi Kefa said kindly to Lv Daqi, "How can you talk about catching wind and shadows? Jiang Yanji (Jiang Yueguang was named Yanji) followed the south and sent a letter to him from time to time, which also said that because the military situation in the north was urgent, he could not send troops to protect the throne. If there were soldiers in the south, he would naturally return to the emperor as soon as possible."

Lu Daqi sneered and said, "If there was really something about the spiritual martial arts of Suzong, Jiang Yan and I'm afraid they can only be insincere."

Seeing that the two of them were too intense, Gao Hongtu inserted in and said, "No matter whether the Eastern Palace has the heart of spiritual martial arts, the Holy Lord cannot return to the court for a long time to ask about politics, but it is real. The country cannot be without a king for a day. Now it is at a time when the war is in danger. How can we waste time?"

Shi Kefa paused in his heart and thought to himself: Could it be that Mr. Yao really hit it? How could Gao Hongtu have such delusions!

"Someone among the Southern Ministers discusses that the king of blessing should be supervised by the country." Zhang Shenyan said cautiously.

Shi Kefa suddenly stood up: "What do you say? What do you say! The Holy Emperor is on the way. And the ministers of our Nandu are just arbitrarily discussing the establishment of a state of supervision? What do you say!"

"Do not be anxious," Gao Hongtu said: "This theory is not advocated by us."

Shi Kefa had just given him a passionate initiation, and then he calmed down, and shivered all over, saying, "Who is the one who is talking about it? You can kill it! You actually made such unjust words!" He said, looking at Lu Daqi.

Lu Daqi knew that he had just been rash and misunderstood Shi Kefa, so he had to scold him: "It's indeed a disobedient argument! Not a son of man! However, Sima Gong's arguments are raging, and they all say that the Holy Emperor is hostage. Before, the Eastern Palace did have the posture of a hero..."

"Cough cough," Zhang Shenyan coughed lightly, "Don't confuse the whole story. Now the important matter is that if the priest did not return to the court one day, no one would take charge of the overall situation for a day. No matter what the situation is in the north, it is a matter of establishing a supervisory country to consolidate people's hearts."

Shi Kefa knew what Zhang Shenyan meant. If the prince was using the emperor to command the princes, then using the state to supervise the country could indeed break this ambition, so that he could only send the emperor back to the court.

"However, is the East Palace Ruo really a pure filial person?" Shi Kefa said: "Isn't it a crime of regulating a country without any reason to commit corruption?"

"Who dares to establish a good position? Of course, he will report to the Emperor's Holy Sect." Lu Daqi said: "It's just that someone wants to establish the King of Blessing. This is something we cannot agree with no matter what."

Shi Kefa brows tighter and said, "The chief of the country is the prince, followed by King Ding and King Yong. Where is the turn of Fufu?"

"Haha," Lu Daqi laughed dryly, skipped the prince and said, "King Ding and King Yong are all following the sage, so naturally they can't come."

Shi Kefa finally understood that some people just wanted to use the theory of establishing a state to alert the enemy.

Because this "King of Fortune" is so sensitive.

Today, King of Fu Zhu Yousong is the cousin of Emperor Chongzhen. His father, King of Fu, was another protagonist in the original dispute between the country and the son of Concubine Zheng. In order to preserve the position of crown prince of Master Guangmiao, the Donglin Party members fought a protracted war with Emperor Shenzong for decades. During this period, the demon book case, the attack case, and even the Hongwan case and the palace case after Guangzong succeeded to the throne. It can be said that they were devoted to the Guangzong branch.

If King Fu returned to Nanjing to supervise the country, what should I do if I found out the old accounts? And then there will definitely be villains who will rely on the Fu Battalion, which will leave a huge hidden danger?

"This matter is quite strange." Shi Kefa frowned and said, "Why do some people want to take the blame for the world and encourage this matter?"

"Because they are worried that the Holy Emperor will take it seriously." Zhang Shenyan whispered.

"Mr. Miaoshan means..." Shi Kefa was unable to react.

"What clues can Sima Gong see here?" asked Lu Daqi.

——All of them are old people in Donglin.

Shi Kefa said intimately, but shook his head, saying that he didn't see it.

Lu Daqi smiled and said, "Everyone thinks we are Donglin, but Lu is from Suining, Sichuan, Sima Gong, you are from Xiangfu, Henan, Gao Gong is from Jiaozhou, Shandong, and Mr. Miaoshan is from Yangcheng, Shanxi. Most of the other dukes are from northerners and south. Although they are named Donglin, they are not from southerners. Do the Grand Sima understand?"

——So the mystery is here! No wonder Qian Muzhai is not here!

The Donglin Party was famous for its Donglin Academy and entered the historical stage in the Wanli Dynasty. Regardless of the merits and demerits of this party, it was only a rare thing to say about their cruelty to their political enemies and their debauchery to their allies in the Ming Dynasty. This is why many people turned to Wei Zhongxian, while the Xuan Party, Kun Party, Qi Party, Chu Party, and Zhejiang Party would rather form an alliance with the eunuch Party.

After Chongzhen ascended the throne, the first elimination of the eunuch party was not because of his literary nature, but because Keshi and Wei Zhongxian did threaten his life and safety. In addition, the incident of Emperor Tianqi falling into the water was suspense, which made Chongzhen feel resentful. In this case, Wei Zhongxian had to die, and the eunuch party could only die with him. Emperor Chongzhen was ruthless and decisive in this regard, without any kindness of a woman.

After the fall of the eunuch party, Chongzhen worked hard to govern, but was actually very cautious in employed people. Especially when dealing with the Donglin party members, he did not use them, but he was only used in the way of speaking and never allowed them to master the actual politics. Zhou Yanru finally made Chongzhen angry and felt betrayed. It was not just that he lied about military affairs and the outer court concealed it for him. But because he actually colluded with "Donglin", which was the real cause of death.

Therefore, during the Chongzhen period, Donglin had already died in name only and no longer had the political influence of the Wanli era.

However, in Jiangnan, Donglin is still a true gentleman in the minds of scholars. The famous Fushe was established under the banner of Donglin, which also made the ministers of Jiangnan somewhat have a background in Donglin. Even if they are not party members, they are also sympathizers. Among them, Qian Qianyi and Qian Muzhai, known as the leader of Donglin, have a very high reputation in Jiangnan.

"If Your Majesty is lucky, the ministers from the south will inevitably fill the court. Wouldn't it be a blessing for them?" Shi Kefa hesitated.

"First of all, Qian Qianyi will not be hired." Lu Daqi said: "Besides, which ministers in Jiangnan are not Tian Lianqianmo and Guangsha's mansion? The emperor was recruiting in the capital, the Eastern Palace was plundered everywhere, and even the villa of Gao Gong in Laoshan was confiscated... Sima Gong thought, what is the most important thing in the court's empty position and the wealth of thousands of yuan? What is the least? "

Shi Kefa looked at Gao Hongtu: "How could he copy Mr. Yuzhai's villa?"

Gao Hongtu waved his hand and said, "It is also caused by misunderstandings, so there is no need to mention it. Just talk about the things in front of you."

Lu Daqi continued: "Because of this incident, I asked Sima Gong to join us to see how we deal with it. Lu thought that if the power of the country was inevitable, Lu Fan would be stronger than Fu Fan." (To be continued...)
