Chapter 1087 The Real Winner

At the turn of spring and summer in the fifth year of Wu Ding, the Wei Dynasty ushered in an unprecedented turmoil.

If this turmoil can be traced back, it first started with the military assets case. Yang Yongyu, the No. [-] figure in the Northern Party and the Secretary of the Criminal Ministry, was impeached and forced to return home because Zhao Mingrui committed suicide in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

In this case, for the first time, the Northern Party and the Southern Party attracted the attention of Emperor Gao Yihuan of the Great Wei Dynasty. Because he was not clear about the situation, Gao Yihuan temporarily compromised, and began to test and secretly investigate.

After the military capital case, the court returned to peace, just when people thought it was over, after less than half a year of peace, the leader of the Northern Party, Chen Mingxia, also sadly resigned.

This time, no one doubted that the storm was coming, but Gao Yihuan was silent again. After waiting for more than half a month, a decree came, promoting Huang Zongxi as the censor of the left capital of the Inspectorate, Wu Yingji as the right servant of the Ministry of Punishment, and More than a dozen Southern Party officials were promoted.

The Metropolitan Procuratorate has the power to picket officials, which is equivalent to the Commission for Discipline Inspection. Gao Yihuan made Huang Zongxi the top leader of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and his intentions are self-evident.

Wu Yingji's transfer to the Ministry of Punishment undoubtedly formed a cooperation with Huang Zongxi. One person reported and exposed, and the other was responsible for the prison review, forming a one-stop service.

This made the officials of the Southern Party very excited, and they were gearing up one by one, ready to do a big job.

After Huang Zongxi became the head of the Inspectorate, the first thing he did was to pursue the victory and write a letter to purge the party, and ordered his subordinates to search for black materials about the Northern Party, no matter what they had or not, to follow the wind and grasp the truth. Public opinion, first completely stigmatize the Northern Party, and began to attack officials of the North Korean Central Party.

Although Chen Mingxia went to the field, he was still the focus of their attack, and he had to be killed.

The party struggles in the Ming Dynasty were fierce, but the struggles in the early stage were actually quite mild. Even if the politics failed, there was still a chance to survive, and everyone was more disciplined.

However, since the Tianqi Dynasty, the situation of the struggle began to change. The Donglin party members who once had the upper hand had a chance to kill Wei Zhongxian, but they did not kill them all and let Wei Zhongxian go.

At that time, the ministers of the DPRK and China, including the Donglin Party, were relatively well-mannered, but Wei Zhongxian was not a politician, he was a rogue and hooligan through and through.

The struggle between politicians is over if it is messed up, and at most they want to punish you, but a hooligan like Wei Zhongxian doesn't follow the rules.

Therefore, Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou, Yuan Huazhong, Wei Dazhong, Zhou Chaorui, and Gu Dazhang were framed and killed by Wei Zhongxian. Later, seven people including Gao Panlong, Zhou Shunchang, Zhou Qiyuan, Miao Changqi, Li Yingsheng, Zhou Zongjian, and Huang Zunsu were killed.

The Donglin Party was completely defeated in the struggle with Wei Zhongxian, and was almost wiped out.

This incident taught the Donglin party members a lesson. To punish people must be punished to death, but it is not enough. What if one day they are punished and turn around again, what should they do if they want to drive them all to death.

Since then, the Donglin Party has gradually lost its original persistence and turned into a group of political hooligans with the same party and different parties.

Huang Zongxi knew this very well, now that the superior is in power, how can he not kill them all.

For a while, the southern party began to eliminate dissidents on the charge of forming a party for selfish interests. Han Chaoxuan, the left servant of the northern party's criminal department, was the first to be involved, which made Wu Yingji more handy in the criminal department.

In the early days of Gao Yihuan's family, loyal and righteous people would not seek refuge with a bandit, so the Wei court could only absorb some civil officials who surrendered or surrendered.

These people have abilities, but their integrity is limited, and their bodies are almost unclean.

It was after Chen Mingxia surrendered to Li Zicheng that he went south and was declared a traitor, so he switched to Gao Yihuan. Naturally, there were many such people around him.

Forming a party always has a purpose, either for power or for money, so it is called forming a party for personal gain.

These people gather for the Northern Party, some for power, some for money, and they are not very clean.

Therefore, it was not difficult for Huang Zongxi to find their problems, and soon Feng Quan, the main cadre of the Northern Party, was killed!Fang Dayou killed!Song Quan killed!Kill Wang Yongji!Wang Duo kills!Shi Min kills!Even Liu Yumo, who was driven home, was chased back and sentenced to be killed!

Among them, Feng Quan was relatively unlucky. He was an eunuch in his early years. He was dismissed from office in the early years of Chongzhen. Originally, he was quite honest and did not attach himself to Chen Mingxia, but Huang Zongxi hated his eunuch status and gave him the death penalty.

For a time, the Great Wei court was in Chang'an, with six ministries plus the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Dali Temple and other yamen, a total of more than 150 officials, nearly [-] of them were involved in the Northern Party case, more than ten were killed, and the rest were not dismissed. Even in prison, the court officials are nearly a quarter empty.

Just when Huang Zongxi and others were about to step up their efforts and continue to pursue and wipe out the North and Central Party, Chen Zhenhui sent a memorial to impeach Xungui for taking advantage of the disadvantage of the war and embezzling the assets of Jiangnan merchants.

Gao Yihuan was furious immediately, and ordered Huang Zongxi to investigate and have a strict trial.

Great Wei Guo Xungui is powerful, Huang Zongxi originally just wanted to bring down the Northern Party, and then took the opportunity to promote Southern Party officials to the top to stabilize the results of the battle, and did not intend to immediately take action against Xungui.

In this way, too many enemies would be made, which would be detrimental to the Southern Party, but Chen Zhenhui's memorial forced him to change his original plan.

Chen Zhenhui and Liu Xiangke were in the same discipline, and they were Tanhua when the imperial examinations opened in the Great Wei Dynasty. He was one of the four princes in the south of the Yangtze River. He was originally selected as the number one scholar, but at that time, in order to appease the scholars in Guanzhong and Huguang, he was only given a Tanhua.

Strictly speaking, although Chen Zhenhui is from Jiangnan and has contacts with Huang Zongyi and others, he is not a member of the Southern Party, but a group of officials who do not form a party.

But the nobles didn't see it that way. Seeing Huang Zongyi's elimination of the Northern Party, they had already tensed up. As soon as the memorial came out, they naturally thought that the Southern Party was going to deal with them.

The flames of war were ignited, Huang Zongxi and other Southern Party officials could only cheer up, turn around to impeach the nobles, make friends with ministers, seek personal gain, and have ulterior motives.

At this time, Emperor Gao Yihuan of the Great Wei Dynasty watched all this with cold eyes.

Huang Zongxi believed that what the emperor hated most was forming a party, so he designed to expose the Northern Party to the emperor, and strengthened the emperor's determination to get rid of the Northern Party.

Chen Mingxia fell, and the Northern Party almost collapsed under his purge. He thought he had succeeded, but in fact, he was not the final winner of the Northern Party case.

The fact that Chen Mingxia formed a big party really shocked Gao Yihuan, and he felt uneasy, so he made up his mind to eliminate the Northern Party and purge the officials of the Great Wei. However, Gao Yihuan saw through Huang Zongxi's schemes and tricks at a glance. The reason why he cooperated was because Because this is a rare opportunity for Gao Yihuan.

He needs someone to come out and take the blame for him, and when he achieves his goal, he can use this person to appease the anger of the government and the opposition.
