Chapter 296 The Return of the Holy Emperor(2/2)
"Their influence has even penetrated into traffickers."
"It is not easy for us to uproot such a towering tree."
"At least, it is not enough to rely solely on the fact that the Metropolitan Procuratorate raided the Ministry of Internal Affairs and put Ma Mingluo in jail, because these two things are far from enough to change public opinion in Shilin."
The Donglin Party's biggest reliance is the public opinion in Jiangnan Shilin.
The Donglin Party can even make the famous brothels in Jiangnan share their anger, which is really impressive.
"Father, didn't you just say that the Metropolitan Procuratorate raided the Ministry of Internal Affairs and imprisoned Ma Mingluan, which might lead to the failure of the Battle of Xuzhou? And then lead to the three of us, father and son, becoming prisoners of Jiannu?" Zhu Cijiong said in confusion,
"Isn't this enough? Shilin doesn't even have the basic ability to discern, right?"
"The thing is that what you said didn't happen, did it?"
Chongzhen said: "What hasn't happened yet can't be used as evidence? Because they can say that this is just to ensure the supply of food and wages for the Xuzhou front line."
"Ah?" Zhu Cijiong said in stunned silence, "Isn't this confusing right and wrong?"
"Sometimes it is difficult to distinguish between black and white," Chongzhen said. "Sometimes there is even no black and white at all, and there is not even justice and evil. There is just a battle of ideas."
"Huh?" Zhu Cijiong scratched his head after hearing this.
These words were somewhat beyond his cognitive scope.
After hearing these words, Zhu Cixi fell into deep thought.
…
Soon, five days passed.
Nanjing, cabinet value room.
"Mr. Ge? Mr. Gao Ge!"
Zuo Guangxian rushed into Gao Hongtu's check-in room with a panic look on his face. However, because he was so flustered that he didn't pay attention to his steps, he actually kicked his foot on the threshold and threw a dog into the mess, and screamed in agony.
Gao Hongtu looked up and saw it, his expression immediately turned serious.
Putting down the brush in his hand, Gao Hongtu reprimanded: "Speaking of it, you are also the censor of Zuoqiandu after all, and a fourth-rank court official. Why do you still act so impetuous? How can you really be decent?"
"Mr. Ge, have you heard?" Zuo Guangxian automatically ignored Gao Hongtu's reprimand, got up and said, "The Holy Emperor's Luan Jia has left Xuzhou and will return to Nanjing within ten days."
"What is there to panic about?" Gao Hongtu said, "It is a great thing for the Holy Father to return to the court."
Zuo Guangxian cursed, is it a good thing for the Holy Emperor to return to the court? It seems to be true, I almost believe it. Mr. Gao Ge, are you really not afraid that what you have done will be known by the Holy Emperor? Aren't you afraid of being exposed by the Yi tribe?
It is not a new thing for the emperor to kill his cabinet ministers nowadays.
Killing ministers below the minister is like killing a chicken.
But of course Zuo Guangxian didn't dare to say this openly.
Looking around, there was no one around. Zuo Guangxian whispered: "Elder Pavilion, I heard that the Holy One has issued a decree to appoint Lu Zhenfei as Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, merge it into the Dongge Preparatory Machinery Service, and appoint Dr. Zhongjin, the Military Selection Department of the Ministry of War.
Xuan is the governor of Yingtian and the admiral in charge of Jiang's military affairs. This is obviously because he came to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to raid the Ministry of Internal Affairs."
After a pause, Zuo Guang first made a killing gesture and then said: "Mr. Ge, when Lu Zhenfei and Jin Xuan arrive in Nanjing and a big prison is set up, everything will be late, so it is better to strike first."
General Ma Mingluan..."
