The Donglin Party was stunned for a moment and then was furious. But Ye Xianggao looked very calm on the surface and did not say a word, and would not refute it at all. In fact, he knew in his mind that what Liang Menghuan said was true, including Li Sancai's corruption and abuse of power, and even colluding with a prodigal businessman to sell food to Jiannu, all of which were true!

Although Ye Xianggao was calm on the surface, he was very panicked: It was strange, how could the eunuch dog know about these things? Could it be that some of us betrayed us?

Zuo Guangdou, who is known for his integrity in the Donglin Party, was shocked and didn't know how to refute Liang Menghuan. They were only worried that what should the Donglin Party do if these things were true? If it was true, it would still cover Ye Xianggao and Li Sancai, then the reputation of the Donglin Party would be lost; but if Ye Xianggao fell, the Donglin Party would be over.

"False accusation! It is purely accusation!" Guanglu Temple Chief, Right Minister of Justice, and Left Censor Gao Panlong was the first to stand up, pointing at Liang Menghuan's nose and shouting, "Censor Liang is purely accusation without any evidence! Dear colleagues, what should we do to frame the ministers of the court?"

Zou Yuanbiao stood up and knelt down to Emperor Tianqi: "Your Majesty, if you frame the court officials, you should be imprisoned!"

Liang Menghuan also knelt down to Emperor Tianqi: "Your Majesty, everything I say is true, and there is no slander!"

"Every sentence is true? Liang Qing, do you have real evidence? Without evidence, isn't it a false accusation?" the little carpenter looked at Liang Menghuan and asked.

Before Liang Menghuan could answer, Jiu Qiansui, who was standing behind Emperor Tianqi, stood up and knelt in front of the little carpenter: "Emperor, everything that Censor Liang said is true, I can testify!"

After saying that, Wei Zhongxian took out one of Wang Wenyan's confessions from his sleeve, which was to testify against Ye Xianggao's confessions. It said that Ye Xianggao repeatedly harmed Xiong Tingbi, and was in love with Li Sancai, colluded with smuggled profiteers, sold strategic materials to Jiannu, and other crimes about Ye Xianggao colluded with Wang Wenyan, making plans to alienate the three parties.

On the confession, there are also the handprints pressed by Wang Wenyan.

"Is this really the case?" The little carpenter was stunned. He turned to look at Ye Xianggao, "Ye Qing, all Wang Wenyan you promoted had confessed! Wang Wenyan was born in a commoner and was the lowest prisoner. He fled to the capital after committing a crime, but you promoted him to the Secretariat of the Central Secretariat. He proved that your affairs were true?"

Ye Xianggao's face changed drastically, and beads of sweat fell down drop by drop. He quickly knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty! The old minister is guilty of being in a misunderstanding! The old minister doesn't know that Li Sancai colluded with a profiteer, nor does he know that Wang Wenyan is such a villain. The old minister is wrong, and I hope Your Majesty will know the crime."

Although Wei Zhongxian knew that Ye Xianggao was avoiding the important things, he did not expose it either. Because after this incident, Ye Xianggao should get out of the house. As long as Ye Xianggao gets out of the house, the cabinet chief minister is not a member of the Donglin Party, and his goal will be achieved.

The little carpenter said, "Old Master Ye, you are old and you are too old to recognize others. You can call me a teacher."

Ye Xianggao's face was desolate. He knew that he was finished and his political life in this life had come to an end. He could only kneel on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly: "Thank you for not killing, I obey your order!"

Wei Zhongxian was ecstatic: OK! This old man is out of here! Yongwazi is really a lucky star in our family. He caught a Wang Wenyan and actually led out the big fish Ye Xianggao! As long as Ye Xianggao gets out, he will quickly stuff his people into the cabinet! There are other members of the Donglin Party’s cabinet, but it doesn’t matter. It is impossible to kill them all in one breath, come one by one, and finally drive them all out and let the people of the three parties in.

After resigning from the court, compared with the officials of the three parties with joy, the officials of the Donglin Party were all like a loss. Everyone's face was either gray or ashen. Ye Xianggao fell, which means that the three parties had colluded with the eunuch party and counterattacked the Donglin Party.

Although the Donglin Party members also knew that the three parties had already colluded with the eunuch party to wait for an opportunity to counterattack, they did not expect the counterattack to come so quickly and so decisively. They hit the key points of the Donglin Party with just one move! Ye Xianggao collapsed today, and I don’t know what will happen in a few days. After all, the Donglin Party members knew in their hearts that most of them were not clean, and the old eunuch Wei Zhongxian was expanding the factory guards. The factory guards were their strengths. The factory guards are still relatively good now. If it were during the Hongwu period or the Yongle period, how powerful would the Jinyiwei be? What food did the officials eat at home tonight and cooked with their concubines several times in the evening, but they could not escape the Jinyiwei’s eyes and ears.

Li Ruoxing, the young minister of Dali Temple, said: "Dear colleagues, the old eunuch Wei has expanded the factory guards. The situation of the Zhengying Dynasty that we finally won is about to lose its protection!"

Wang Zhicai, the Minister of Justice, said: "Old Ye Ge was framed. Unexpectedly, His Majesty not only did not punish the accused, but instead took the opportunity to make Ye Ge Lao call his disciples! These are all tricks for Old Wei's eunuch!"

Ye Xianggao, who was full of frustration, remembered at this time: "It's bad. Wang Shoutai (Classic Chinese) did not come to court today. It seems that he must have fallen into the hands of the eunuch party!"

A group of Donglin Party members made an appointment to gather at Ye Xianggao's house in the evening, treating it as seeing Ye Xianggao off, and discussing how to deal with the eunuch party's counterattack with the three parties.

That night, Ye Xianggao's mansion.

The upright Donglin Qunxian gathered together to discuss how to deal with the sinister and vicious eunuch party. They wanted to unite all the upright people in the world and fight to eradicate the eunuch party that harmed the country and the people.

"Imposses Wei Yin!" Yang Lian was the first to stand up and said loudly, "Wang Shoutai is upright and upright, how can he be forced to be a tyrannical power of the eunuch? If nothing unexpected happens, Shoutai may have been killed!"

Zuo Guangdou also said: "Shoutai cannot surrender to the eunuch party! He must have been tortured to death by the eunuch party. He grabbed his hand and forced his handprint to frame Master Ye!"

Leading by Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou, Zhou Chaorui, Yuan Huazhong, Wei Dazhong and other five people stood up and expressed their willingness to report together the twenty-four crimes of impeachment of Wei Zhongxian, including persecuting the old ministers of the late emperor, interfering in the government affairs, forcing the harem to death, manipulating the Dongchang to commit tyranny, and frame Zhongliang.

Originally, the six gentlemen of Donglin in history have only five people. Because Gu Dazhang was appointed as the Minister of Justice at this time, he was serving as the Minister of the Shandong Office and did not serve in the capital, so he did not appear.

But when these five people stood up and wanted to fight Wei Yin to the end, the other Donglin Party members seemed to be stubborn and just watched the fun.

Taichang Shaoqing Wang Qia said softly to Chen Xinjia, the deputy chief of the Ministry of Justice, "The old eunuch dog in Wei is already crazy. Now the factory guards are in great power. The five of them go to provoke the old eunuch dog in Wei at this time. Wouldn't it be a moth to the flame?"

Chen Xinjia also nodded: "Anyway, we will respond to changes in the same way. We will make a decision tomorrow morning to see the situation."

He has served as a censor for both Chongzhen and Shunzhi. Fang Kezhuang, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice of the Qing Dynasty, said: "The old eunuch of Wei is deeply favored by His Majesty. There is also a Madam Fengsheng who helped the old eunuch, and a little eunuch of Zhang also helped the old eunuch. Now the eunuch of the eunuch is in power. It seems that Yang Dahong, Zuo Fuqiu and others are in danger."

Chen Xinjia looked at Zuo Guangdou's friend Ruan Dacheng and asked, "Jizhi, why don't you advise your friend Fuqiu to calm down and not be impulsive? Now that the eunuch is powerful, avoid his sharp edge first and then make plans."

Ruan Dacheng, who was a friend of Zuo Guangdou, later became a member of the eunuch party, and finally became an official of the Qing army, said: "Fuqiu has a good reputation. Since he wants to go, let him go. Let me wait and see what happens."

If Zhang Yong heard the performance of the Donglin Party next to him, he would definitely laugh out loud: These Donglin scholars are usually upright and full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, but at critical moments they only seek to save their lives. Except for the six gentlemen of Donglin, the rest are all greedy and afraid of death. Just such a group of dogs, so why fight us?
