Chapter 1069 Southern Party
In the eastern suburbs of Chang'an, more than [-] Wei soldiers marched eastward, guarding Gao Yihuan's car after taking the oath.

Ten miles to the east of Chang'an City, in the Changting Pavilion, many important officials of the Wei State stood outside the pavilion, watching the Eastern Expeditionary Army go away.

Li Yan, Chen Mingxia and other big bosses left the pavilion one after another after seeing the emperor's car driving, and went back to the city to deal with official business.

Among the crowd, Wu Yingji, You Shaoqing of Dali Temple, pulled Huang Zongyi, Youqian, the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, "Brother Taichong, let me go back to the city!"

Huang Zongyi nodded slightly, seeing a large group of officials following Chen Mingxia back to the city, he sneered and said to the people behind him: "Go, go to Xiaoyuan, I have something to say."

Huang Zongyi is the son of Huang Zunsu, and his father was the backbone of the early Donglin. Because of the impeachment of the eunuch Wei Zhongxian, he was dismissed from office and killed. He was one of the seven gentlemen of the Donglin. Admired person.

Huang Zongyi's son inherited his father's will, and studied under Liu Zongzhou, the boss of Donglin. He is naturally a member of Donglin. After Donglin took power, he was no longer the Donglin in the era of Yang Lian and Zuo Guangdou. The gang of political hooligans flourished and fell apart.

Today, part of the Donglin party members are in Nanming, some are in Wei, and some are living in seclusion in Jiangnan, so they are no longer a whole.

Since Donglin's reputation is not as good as that of the eunuchs, it is impossible to turn around again.

Now the Donglin Party has become history, but the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River still needs someone to speak, so the Southern Party representing the interests of the southeastern gentry and merchants was born, and many Donglin Party members have mixed into the Southern Party. They have rich experience in political struggle After Huang Zongxi and Wu Yingji joined the Southern Party, they immediately became the two major think tanks of the Southern Party.

Xiaoyuan is located in Quchifang in the southeast corner of Chang'an City, close to Furong Pool, and is a private courtyard.

The layout of the courtyard is very elegant, copying the scenery of Suzhou gardens. The owner spent a lot of money to transport strange stones, bricks and tiles from the south of the Yangtze River to build this forest garden.

This courtyard was built by a wealthy family in eastern Zhejiang. The Shen family sent people to build it, and they did not live there. It was used to entertain some ministers from the south of the Yangtze River, as well as scholars from the south of the Yangtze River who were rushing for the exam, and to provide them with a place to hang out and meet to relieve their nostalgia. .

At this time, Huang Zongxi and Wu Yingji were walking in the courtyard, walking through the courtyard where the scenery changed step by step. Huang Zongyi looked up at the carved beams and painted buildings in the corridor of the courtyard, and the cornices and brackets of the houses, and sighed: "This Xiaoyuan, the Shen family has spent a lot of effort. "

Wu Yingji also sighed: "Yes! It is said that every brick and stone here, even the pebbles on the corridor, are all transported from the south of the Yangtze River."

Huang Zongyi nodded slightly, "It's a pity that there is nothing but spirit." Speaking of a group of people arrived at an attic, Huang Zongyi immediately said: "Go upstairs."

Several people went to the attic, the windows were opened, and they could overlook the forest garden, and at the same time, they could also overlook the Furong Pond not far away.

At this time, everyone sat down at the mahogany table, and the host asked someone to serve the prepared wine and dishes. After the servants retreated, the few people began to eat and talk.

Wu Yingji said: "Brother Taichong called us here, is it to discuss how to deal with the Northern Party?"

Huang Zongxi smiled slightly: "Brother Lou Shan, don't be in a hurry, eat the vegetables first, try this perch!"

Wu Yingji put down his chopsticks and said with a melancholy expression, "Brother Taichong, I can't eat any more. Although we didn't suffer any losses in the case of military capital, the Northern Party has also successfully resolved the crisis. Now they are powerful, and they will soon be inspected at the end of the year. Yang Tingfang, the head of the merit test, is the son of Yang Yongyu, a hardcore member of the Northern Party, and if he presides over the Jingchao, the Northern Party will definitely take the opportunity to eliminate dissidents."

Jingcha is an assessment system for officials of the Wei Dynasty. It is stipulated that once every three years, officials will be judged according to their grades, such as competent, diligent, dereliction of duty, and dereliction of duty. If you master Jingcha, you will have the power to promote officials and stay in office.

If the Northern Party wants to take advantage of the Beijing inspection to rectify the Southern Party, there will inevitably be a large number of Southern Party officials who will be judged as negligent and dereliction of duty, will not be promoted, or even lose their positions because of this.

Most of the officials have some problems. Using Jingcha as a weapon in political struggle is not only extremely lethal, but also legal.

Han Chuang studied hard for more than ten years. Once in high school, the vast majority of people came for promotion, wealth and power. They formed cliques in the court for the benefit and to get along better.

The Northern Party controls Jingcha, and its political performance is poor. As long as it is the Northern Party, it can pass, while others will be made things difficult. Over time, some officials from the Southern Party will inevitably switch to the Northern Party.

Now that the Central and Northern Party is powerful and controls Beijing, the situation is quite serious. Wu Yingji was very worried, but after hearing this, Huang Zongyi smiled and said, "Brother Lou Shan, you can rest assured, I predict that the Northern Party will collapse."

Wu Yingji was puzzled, raised his eyebrows and said, "What do you mean? The Northern Party has honorable support, most of the officials in the court are from the Northern Party, the military and political power are all controlled by them, and the local government also has strong support. Besides, Chen Mingxia is Your Majesty." The confidant minister, who has assisted His Majesty for many years and won His Majesty's trust, wants to move to the Northern Party, how is it possible?"

Huang Zongxi stroked his beard, "No matter how powerful the Northern Party is in the court, and no matter how many people are attached to them, as long as we get the support of one person, we will surely win!"

Wu Yingji asked, "Who?"

Huang Zongyi said: "Emperor!"

Wu Yingji said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty has been with Chen Mingxia for many years, and he has honor behind him. How can the emperor support us?"

Huang Zongyi said with confidence: "In the face of power, getting along for many years is nothing. As long as we charge Chen Mingxia with the crime of forming a party for personal gain and intending to rebel, the Northern Party will definitely collapse."

Wu Yingji said in surprise, "But the Chen Ge department did not rebel!"

Huang Zongyi said: "Yue Fei didn't plot any wrongdoing either."

Wu Yingji understood Huang Zongyi's meaning, the facts are not important, this is to use the skills of the Donglin Party in the past, the party is the same and fights the differences, no matter what the facts are, first pour the dirty water.

Wu Yingji was silent for a moment, then lowered his voice and said, "Brother Taichong, what do you plan to do?"

Huang Zongxi said in a deep voice: "Actually, the emperor is already dissatisfied with Chen Mingxia and the Northern Party, and the old Li Ge in the court also has opinions on the Northern Party, and I already know one thing. As long as the arrangements are made properly, when the Emperor returns, he will immediately join him. One book will definitely defeat the Northern Party!"

Speaking of which, Huang Zongxi stood up, walked to the window, and said confidently: "When the Beidang collapses, the imperial court will have to employ people, and I can recruit teachers to join the cabinet and gradually control the imperial court. Our Donglin may not have a chance to turn around."

Wu Yingji said: "The emperor has dealt with the northern party, and I am afraid he will not tolerate our southern party growing. Besides, the emperor has always had prejudices against Donglin, and I am afraid he will not tolerate us taking power!"

Huang Zongxi said: "So we have to keep this secret, so that the emperor cannot detect it!"
