In the capital, the court was in charge of the Donglin Party's plan to investigate the capital, and the two sides were still fighting openly and secretly.

Although the Propaganda Party was defeated during the Beijing inspection because the party leader Tang Binyin was plotted, the four parties of Zhejiang, Qi, Chu and Kun saved Zhao by besieging Wei, and bit Gu Xiancheng, the leader of Donglin far away in Wuxi, and successfully forced the Donglin Party not to deceive people too much.

Although the chief assistant Ye Xianggao and the Tianguan Sun Piyang made great efforts to plan, the Beijing Procuratorate, led by Donglin, was still in a deadlock just like the previous two times.

The four parties successfully rescued themselves and had great power. Under the clamor of the inner supervisor Li Yongzhen, the four parties made an alliance. As long as the Donglin Party dared to show signs of restarting the Beijing inspection, the four parties would attack in groups and would never allow them to divide and attack.

Zhao Nanxing, the elder of Donglin who secretly assisted Sun Piyang in presided over the Beijing inspection, was unwilling to be destructive for many years, so he unwillingly acted the censors of Donglin to confront the four parties and kept writing letters, and the government became a mess. In the court officials only knew that the party was the same and no one had the heart to ask about politics. In the end, both sides were unscrupulous, which led to the confusion of black and white.

"Dog bites a dog, with a mouthful of hair."

Eunuch Wei, who was about to cross the river at Yizheng Ferry, looked at the matter in the capital in this way.

Chen Mo in Beijing just heard news that in this Shuntian Prefecture provincial examination, Zou Zhilin, a member of the Zhejiang Party, was appointed as a house examiner. Because of love, a candidate named Tong was admitted as a juren, but was attacked by the Donglin Party to cheat in the examination room. The small matter of being just a simple love, it turned out to be a life-and-death matter.

Weng Zhengchun, a member of the Donglin Party and Minister of Rites, wrote a letter to request the demotion of Zou Zhilin, but Qi Shijiao, the leader of the Qi Party, said that Weng Zhengchun favored the examiner and deliberately used Zou Zhilin as a scapegoat.

Weng Zhengchun was disdainful and insisted on the initial discussion. As a result, the four parties pointed their finger at him and dug up a lot of the black materials he had when he was an examiner. Weng Zhengchun saw that the situation was not good, so he was so scared that he resigned.

The Donglin Party could not keep Weng Zhengchun, so she cited Sun Shenxing, who had been teaching in Donglin Academy, as the Minister of Rites. After Sun took office, he still wanted to attack Zou Zhilin according to Weng Zhengchun's method.

This matter is irreconcilable.

"The nine provinces are angry and rely on the wind and thunder, and thousands of horses are silenced. I advise the heavens to shake themselves up and to surrender talents without any restrictions."

Eunuch Wei wrote such a poem on the wharf. After the poem was completed, he ordered a person to pass it to Li Yongzhen directly. The same letter as the poem was accompanied by a verbal message: "National affairs are difficult, and talents are difficult to find."

A few days later, Sun Shenxing's memorial was kept by the emperor.

News came out of the palace that the emperor who had not been courting for many years actually asked the Zhongguan to give it to Zou Zhilin with ten taels of silver.

Although there is not much money, the attitude is obvious.

On the other hand, Eunuch Wei received a thousand taels of "poetry fee" given by Zou Zhilin.

Although Eunuch Wei thought that his poem could earn at least 5,000 taels, Zou Zhilin used his calligraphy to resolve the crisis, so he should thank him seriously. Just a thousand taels were also stingy.

Only when efforts and rewards are proportional can Eunuch Wei continue to innovate, activate his thinking, and create better poems.

Otherwise, if you don’t have any income from typing, how can Eunuch Wei be able to have a lot of thoughts?

However, considering that Zou is also considered his "fake friend", Eunuch Wei is embarrassed to be petty.

He has always positioned himself as a good person who saw injustice and helped him.

Good people don’t like money.

Those who do big things cannot love money.

While speaking, Eunuch Wei looked at the ships in the middle of the fleet with satisfaction.

This boat is very adrenaline.

Wei Guangwei returned to Nandu first. After crossing the river from Eunuch Wei, he did not go to Nandu, but to Wuxi.

He wanted to meet the Donglin Taijun for a while, and to walk around the Donglin Academy and take a look, it would be best to draw a circle.

However, Gu Xiancheng was not sure if he was the intern supervisor from Beijing.

Wei Guangwei made a promise and said that everything would be arranged by him.

Thinking that his father Wei Yunzhen was also one of the elders of Donglin and himself was also the Minister of Rites in Nanjing. If he was no longer favored by the Donglin Party, it would be easy to arrange one or two people to meet the great king.

Eunuch Wei didn't think too much about it.

Wei Yuncheng really can't do it, and he won't blame the other party.

Because, in his opinion, when he saw Gu Xiancheng, he did not ask for the other party, but gave the other party a chance.

Gu Xianchengzhen refused to see him, which was the other party’s regret and the loss of the Donglin Party. What’s the regret of his Eunuch Wei?

Besides, if you don’t give me a description of the painting of Emperor Daojun, will there be no one in this world?

When he reached a certain status, Eunuch Wei said it was true, and if he said it was false, he would be false.

………….

"Nothing is true!"

In Nanjing City, Xiuwu’s uncle Li Sancai hated him and greeted him with a high-rise dragon path.

These three words fully express the depression in his heart of my husband.

Since being demoted, Li Sancai boasted of Yue Fei, and at home every day he only scolded the court and the country in small trouble, and deceived the holy hearing, which led to his loyal minister being wronged.

After a long time, Li Sancai got sick and simply took a boat to the south and came to Nandu.

Although he was from the north, he had many careers in the south. For him, this Nanzhili was undoubtedly his second hometown.

Although he was demoted to a civilian, Xiuwu's husband's wealth was still huge today. The expenses along the way have never been reduced at all.

Gao Panlong came to Nandu to welcome this founding elder in the party at the order of his mentor.

"I wrote a memorial to Tang Binyin, a dog that fell into the water, and I wrote a memorial to expose him very much the year before, but was blocked by the treacherous party. Today, I asked Duke Lishan to expel him from the court, so I really should be revealed!"

Thinking of the collapse of the Propaganda Party, Li Sancai felt a little happy and drank a glass. He put down his wine glass and asked Gao Panlong with concern: "How is the current situation of the academy?"

"Although the treacherous party repeatedly attacked our academy, his mentor and other gentlemen were indomitable and still maintained it! ... As long as I am still alive, the treacherous party will not be able to destroy my academy at a young age!" Gao Panlong looked proud.

Li Sancai nodded. He knew that although Gao Panlong said that, Donglin Academy must be more deserted now than before.

After all, the spring river was warm and the duck prophet, the unsatisfactory struggle in the capital and the emperor's preference for the treacherous party would definitely affect the gentry of Jiangnan. Especially his own demotion would make the gentry of Jiangnan even more suspicious of the Donglin Party and Donglin Academy.

But under this circumstance, the academy members were not depressed at all, and this mental outlook alone was destined to be a traitor.

"Xuwugong, I recently wrote an article called "Theory of Fellowship", which is only one word different from "Theory of Fellowship" by Ouyang Xiu of the Northern Song Dynasty, but the argument is different... My teacher specially asked me to carry it with me so that Xiuwugong could give me some advice." Gao Panlong took out an article from his sleeve.

Li Sancai, Zhao Nanxing and others have always advocated that people are divided into groups, so forming cliques is not a bad thing, but a good thing.

He browsed a lot of high-profile articles and saw above objecting to what Mr. Ouyang said, "The villain has no friends", and emphasized that "the villain has friends", and friends are party members, but villains form cliques for selfish interests, while gentlemen form cliques with fellow men, which is harmless and beneficial.

After reading it, Li Sancai felt that this article coincided with his own ideas, and he couldn't help but praise Gao Panlong.

Gao Panlong humbled himself and said frankly: "My Duke Xiu, my teacher hopes that you will not be discouraged. If possible, you should still submit a memorial to the court for your remarks."

Although Li Sancai was demoted to a civilian, he was the former governor of the grain and minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and he was able to speak out according to his original official position. But this was also what surprised Li Sancai. He didn't understand why his old friend asked him to do this.

Gao Panlong said: "My teacher hopes that Mr. Xiu can remind Your Majesty that the Zhejiang, Qi and Chu Party have revenge and have a grudge against the righteous."

"Uncle, he?"

Li Sancai was confused. Why did his old friend asked his disciples to say to him? He seemed to be entrusting him with what he wanted to entrust him.

His eyebrows moved and he asked with concern: "How is your teacher?"

Gao Panlong hesitated and said, "My teacher is in good health, so I have a heart."

"Is that true?"

Li Sancai was half-believing and half-doubted, but Gao Panlong refused to say more, and he was not inconvenient to ask more questions. He thought that he would stay in Nandu for two more days before going to Wuxi.

Gao Panlongfu said something, and he told Li Sancai that Wei Guangwei, the Minister of Rites in Nanjing, wanted to lead someone to see the gentleman.

"Who?"

Li San learned about Wei Guangwei and knew that his father was Wei Yunzhen.

Gao Panlong shook his head but said he didn't know, but Wei Guangwei said that the man had two paintings by Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty, Zhao Ji, one was "The Picture of the Lotus and the Golden Eggs" and the other was "The Picture of Willow Crows".

Wei Guangwei had seen the two paintings, and they looked very much like the original works of Emperor Daojun, but he was not sure. He deliberately wanted to attract the man to see the teacher and let him tell the truth.

Before Gao Panlong finished speaking, Li Sancai stood up excitedly. Yu Gao said that Teacher Dai had approved Wei Guangwei and asked the man to go to Wuxi as soon as possible.

Gao Panlong knew why Mr. Xiu was excited, and he knew that this was also extremely excited.

The calligraphy and paintings of Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty, Zhao Ji, are truly unparalleled in the world. If it is an original work, it is not his, but it is good to see it at first sight, and it is very beneficial to it.

At this moment, Gao Panlong went to find Wei Guangweizhuan. Li San thought that he had been in Nandu these days, and had also visited the famous places and friends who should visit. He simply went to Wuxi tomorrow. He would stay with his old friend for a while, and wait for the two paintings to see what is true or false.

He had the intention to buy the two paintings, if they were the original works of Emperor Daojun, they would have to buy them from the owner of the painting no matter what. If he thought he had a wealthy family, as long as the price was high, then the owner would have no reason not to sell them. If he really didn't sell them, he would have some means to ask him to sell them.

He, Li Sancai, is now a civilian and has a huge energy.

But the next day, Gu Xiancheng's son-in-law Wang Yongtu came in a hurry.

Wang Yongtu came from Wuxi on the order of his father-in-law Gu Xiancheng and asked Li Sancai to meet him quickly for a deep conversation, and asked him to ask for important matters.

Li Sancai had to doubt whether his old friend had changed his health, so he asked his disciples to welcome him, and then sent his son-in-law to invite him urgently.

"Mr. I am still old and sick, and I often fainted. My spirits improved a while ago, but I suddenly fainted again a few days ago. This time, the situation seemed a little bad." When talking about my father-in-law's illness, Wang Yongtu looked sad.

Li Sancai did not continue to ask more questions, and hurriedly asked the servant to pack his luggage and immediately set off for Wang Yongtu to accompany him to Wuxi. Wang Yongtu had already sent a letter to Gao Panlong, and the other party was anxious and rode back to Wuxi.

A few days later, Li Sancai finally arrived in Wuxi by boat.

By the time he arrived in Wuxi, it was already sunset. After Li San got ashore, he headed straight for Jingli. The closer he got to the Gu family's old house, the heavier his mood became.

Looking up, Mr. Donglin's house faces Jiaoshan in front of him and Doushan in the back. The mountain seems to come from the west. The old house faces water on both sides, with thick air and clear veins. At this time, Li San suddenly had a whim. Feng Shui here is very good, and perhaps it should be on Mr. Donglin. No wonder he did that career to revitalize Neo-Confucianism?

When I arrived at the Gu family, there were servants who came to entertain me.

Wang Yongtu ordered someone to settle Li Sancai's luggage, and then led Li Sancai to see his father-in-law.

After entering, he realized that his father-in-law was still sleeping. Wang Yongtu was at a loss, but Li Sancai was calm and first saluted to his old friend's wife Zhu.
