The first person in the Donglin Party to know that the prince had gone to Concubine Zheng was Ding Yuanjian, the Shaoqing of Shangbao Si. This person had a very old experience. He was a Jinshi in the 14th year of Wanli. He traveled with Gu Xiancheng in his early years and was a veteran in the party.

However, although Ding Yuanjian was a Jinshi thirty years ago, he served as a member of the Central Secretariat, a Guangdong Censorate, a head of the Ministry of Rites, a prosecutor of the Ministry of Justice, and now he served as the Shaoqing of Shangbao Censor, but in the past thirty years, he was actually in office for less than one year.

Most of the time, Lord Ding likes to do the most is home furnishing. He does not serve as a director with his salary, but only talks smoothly at home, and is impatient and argumentative.

In the early years, Donglin attacked the chief assistant Wang Xijue, and he was the plan behind it.

Since Li Sancai and Ye Xianggao resigned one after another, the Donglin Party has not had many important officials in Beijing, only Han Yu, Minister of Rites, Sun Shenxing, Minister of Rites, and Zhang Wenda, Secretary of Justice of the Ministry of Justice. The other veterans, such as Zhao Nanxing, Zou Yuanbiao, etc., were all unemployed at home. Even though Donglin repeatedly set off for them, the emperor ignored them.

Han Yu's character is similar to Ye Xianggao, and he is fair in his work and is not active in actively launching party struggles. Therefore, the Donglin Party members in the capital are now the young and strong factions, such as Zuo Guangdou, Yang Lian, Miao Changqi, Fang Kezhuang and others.

Especially Yang Lian, although the case of beating the palace was abandoned halfway, his reputation for not fearing power eunuchs was resounding throughout the country. Anyone with discerning eyes can see that in the future, Yang Lian will definitely be used.

However, most of the young and strong sects were knowledgeable and had a low position, so major events were still controlled by important officials. Ding Yuansong was not a high-ranking official position, but his qualifications were placed here, so he often communicated with the Eastern Palace and was regarded as the "contact person" between the Donglin Party and the Eastern Palace.

After the prince went to Concubine Zheng, Wang An informed Ding Yuanjian of the news. Ding Yuanjian was shocked. Realizing that something was wrong, he quickly found Liu Yiyin's home who was the doctor of the Ministry of Personnel's examination. Later, he found that the censor Sun Juxiang, the chief clerk of the Husbandry Department, and Wang Wenyan and others were also there.

At that time, Liu Yiyin was telling Yang Lian and others about the lack of a lieutenant in the Ministry of Personnel's Literature Selection.

The officials of the court had the most power among the six ministries, and the head of the six ministries. The Wenxuan Department of the Ministry of Personnel was the top priority. The attitude of the Wenxuan Department was very important in the promotion and selection of civil officials. In the early years, the Donglin Grand Lord Gu Xiancheng and the Qihe Mr. Zhao Nanxing all served as the doctor of the Wenxuan Department.

"The Beijing Administrative Office will be held next month. The candidates for the Wenxuan Department must not fall into the hands of the Zhejiang Party and the Chu Party." Yang Lian said seriously.

Liu Yiyin said: "Zheng Jizhi, the Minister of Personnel, is the Chu Party. He is involved in the Wenxuan Department, and I am afraid that it will be difficult for people in our Party to install it."

"Look at whom Zhao Huan recommends. If it weren't for the people in our party, they would impeach him. In short, it wouldn't be me Donglin, nor would it be him or others."

Sun Juxiang's opinion was echoed by everyone, and Yang Lian respected him very much, probably because the Censor Sun was also a hero who dared to fight and rush back then.

Among the people, Wang Wenyan was still a commoner, but his eunuchs, Wang An of the Eastern Palace, Zuo of the Outer Hou, Yang and others, were already in harmony with Donglin.

Recently, this Wang Buyi is particularly keen to go to Liu Yiyin's home, and has a close relationship with Liu, and is no less than Zuo, Yang and others. It can be seen that he wants to hold another thigh.

"Actually, this incident can make the two parties of Zhejiang and Chu bite the dogs,"

Wang Wenyan said to everyone: "The officials of Wenxuan Department are very good and bad. The treacherous party will follow him. I guess Qi Shi teaches them that the Party will hold on. Zheng Jizhi, the Minister of Personnel, is a member of the Chu party. How can the Party of Chu not want this fat? In this case, the Party of Qi and Zhejiang will give up? Maybe there will be a fight between the three parties!"

"Then there will be a good show!"

Everyone agreed.

Liu Yiyan smiled and nodded: "The most urgent task is to use this attack to weaken the power of the traitor. If the traitor has any internal strife, then this year, I, Donglin, will be able to stabilize my position."

"What's going on with the Ministry of Justice? Why can't Zhang Wenda and Yang Qiming control the officials below?" Yang Lian said unhappily.

"Brother Dahong doesn't know that the 13th Department of the Ministry of Justice corresponds to the 13th Provinces, and each department is a self-constructed mountain. Zhang Wenda had been in the Censorate before and had just been in charge of the Ministry of Justice. How could the officials submit to him? Yang Qiming was not motivated, so it would be difficult for them to point out this case to make tricks." Sun Ju still knows more about the Ministry of Justice.

Liu Yiyin said again: "But Dahong doesn't need to worry. Your Majesty has already asked the Three Justice Departments to retrial, which means that Your Majesty is dissatisfied with the results of the previous trial. The officials of the Ministry of Justice also know how to look at the direction of the wind, and they dare not do their best."

Wang Wenyan sneered: "Assassinate the prince, huh, I still want to close the case randomly in such a big case, so those people are really not afraid of losing their heads."

Yang Lian nodded: "As long as the East Palace is calm, no matter how troubles the generals are outside, His Majesty will definitely preside over justice for the East Palace. Once Concubine Zheng's arrogance is gone, what will the traitor rely on?"

Everyone talked for a while, but they guessed how deeply the case involved Concubine Zheng. Somehow, everyone talked about the matter in Liaodong again.

Sun Juxiang sighed: "If Your Majesty had not transferred Ning Yuanbo from Liaodong, how could Nurhaci, the general of Jianzhou Longhu, dared to establish a country and be called Khan?"

"I have heard from the Ministry of War that the Jin Kingdom, as claimed by Jianzhou, was a heavy army to look at Fushun, the gateway to Liaodong,"

Speaking of this, Sun Juxiang changed his heart and anxiety and said, "I heard that the capital of the Jin Kingdom, Heituara, is only 200 miles away from Fushun. The Jin army cavalry can arrive in one day. It is necessary to guard against others. If the Jin Kingdom really rebels, there will be wars everywhere in Liaodong. We will be sent to the court to request Liaodong to prepare troops as soon as possible to avoid chaos."

Yang Lian knew that Sun Juxiang liked to study military affairs, but when he saw him feeling heartbroken, he disagreed: "Brother Jingzhi said this, but the Jin Dynasty was just a small area of ​​Jianzhou Guards, not as big as a mansion in the inner palace, and not as strong as a town on the nine sides. What's the matter? The only thing that really requires us to do our best is the treacherous party. If the treacherous party is not eliminated for a day, my Ming Dynasty will be in peace."

"Yes, we must first settle the country when fighting foreign countries. Now the cabinet is the Zhejiang Party Fang Congzhe. How can this mediocre minister manage state affairs?" Wang Wenyan agreed on the side.

"The cabinet ministers cannot be in charge of the director, so I will be responsible for it..."

Yang Lian was just talking, and the concierge of Liu Yiyin's house came to report that it was Lord Ding Yuanjian who had arrived. Everyone was quickly asked to invite him. After Ding Yuanjian told the story of the Eastern Palace going to Yikun Palace, everyone was shocked.

"It's such a big deal between the Eastern Palace and Yikun Palace, why don't you notify us in advance!" Sun Juxiang was extremely shocked.

"Why did the Eastern Palace go to Yikun Palace at this time?" Yang Lian was also puzzled by this, and did not understand what the Crown Prince did to meet Concubine Zheng.

Ding Yuan recommended: "Wang An said that the Eastern Palace left to prove his innocence."

"Oh, it's broken!"
