Ye Xianggao is actually not completely considered a member of the Donglin Party, but his position is biased towards the Donglin Party, or in other words, his political views and ideas are similar to those of the Donglin Party.

His sudden resignation naturally caused a tide in the court and the country. His successor was Han Du, known as Han Huoguang's secondary assistant.

Han Du is the kind of person who is more serious and serious. He takes over as the chief minister, with seven people in the cabinet, two of them are the Donglin Party, one is in Liaodong and the other is seriously ill. He can't suppress the cabinet. All he can rely on is Zhu Guozhen, the current assistant who replaces him.

The two of them worked hard to maintain it, but the court had long been divided and no one could convince the public. In addition, Yang Lian and others always took it as their responsibility to abandon Wei Zhongxian and did not care about the two chief assistants and second assistants. Every time the court discussed, they would talk very much. Except for Wei Zhongxian, there seemed to be nothing else to discuss in the court.

In July, Zhao Nanxing finally wrote a letter to resign.

Zhu Youxiao was also very annoyed by him and did not try to keep him, so he let him go.

As soon as he left, another giant in Donglin, Gao Panlong, who combined with Gu Xiancheng to form "Gu Gao", also resigned from his post under the siege.

In less than three months, the chief assistant Ye Xianggao, the Minister of Personnel Zhao Nanxing, and the left censor Gao Panlong resigned one after another. Zuo Guangdou and others were stripped of their registered residence and returned home. The Donglin Party suffered an unprecedented heavy blow in the court!

The Donglin Party was purged out of the court in large numbers, and the vacant positions were naturally divided. The former members of the evil party, the current eunuch party, Xu Dahua, Guo Yunhou, Shao Fuzhong, Wu Chunfu, Yan Mingtai, Cao Qincheng and others all emerged.

The changes in the court naturally could not escape Zhu Xu's eyes. He looked at a long list listed by Cao Wenzhao and twitched his mouth stiffly.

Most of the here are the future ministers and ministers of the six ministers, the censors of the Censorate, and the governor of the general Ji Liao, not to mention that they have now moved closer to Wei Zhongxian's cabinet assistant Gu Bingqian and Wei Guanghui.

If Zhou Yingqiu, Ni Wenhuan, Wang Shaohui, Tian Ergeng and others were added, the forces of Wei Zhongxian in history would make Zhu Xu frightened.

If these people were in power, they were just cliques and could not be tied together. But now these people only followed Wei Zhongxian's fate. It is no wonder that the extremely powerful Qingliu in history was cleaned up in just a few years.

Seeing Zhu Xu looking at the list without saying a word, Cao Wenzhao hesitated and said, "Your Highness, my subordinates think that Wei Zhongxian needs to control it, otherwise it will backfire sooner or later."

Zhu Xu looked up at him, thought for a while, and still had to reveal a little, knocked on the list, and smiled: "No need to worry, none of them are clean. If I want to clean up, there will be no one left in a day."

Cao Wenzhao also knew that Zhu Xu actually had an intelligence line. After hearing Zhu Xu's words, he felt relieved and said with a smile: "I understand. In addition, Mr. Yang, the news has become a bit loud recently."

Zhu Xu couldn't help laughing as he heard Cao Wenzhao's comments. Yang Lian can be said to be worried now. Those fellow practitioners around him were dismissed from office and demoted outside because of various hindrance. He was almost isolated in the court.

Therefore, he became more and more anxious and mobilized all his forces to attempt to snipe Wei Zhongxian's momentum. He went back and forth, with a huge momentum, but he also seemed a little "unreasonable".

Zhu Xu smiled and thought for a while, saying, "In this way, didn't my uncle secretly attract a lot of people? Please contact them and further isolate Mr.

Cao Wenzhao thought Zhu Xu would help Yang Lian, but after hearing this, he was stunned and said, "Your Highness, what do you mean?"

Zhu Xu had no way to tell Cao Wenzhao that Wei Zhongxian would completely clean up the Donglin Party next, or he would isolate Yang Lian now, otherwise Wei Zhongxian would not have to take action, so that Donglin would not let him go. Only by turning Yang Lian into a warrior fighting alone can he win sympathy, and let Qingliu, including the Donglin Party, be respectful, unite around him, and keep him in the court.

"Go, you'll know in the future." Zhu Xu waved his hand without explaining it.

Cao Wenzhao recently discovered that His Highness Hui had read more and his words became more and more unfathomable.

In the court, a group of prestigious ministers of the Donglin Party went to office one after another, making the Donglin Party seem to be incapable of being leaderless and subsequently weak. Yang Lian repeatedly made an "unreasonable" and Zhu Youxiao endured it again and again, and finally issued an order to reprimand him and ordered him to "reflect behind closed doors."

It is said that it is closed-door, but in fact it is not allowed to participate in the government affairs. Either stay at home or go to the palace to give lectures to King Hui, and nothing else is allowed.

Yang Lian hadn't realized that he had been able to stay safely until now, and he was a student who was not very satisfied. He still had a stern face and expressed his expression that everyone he saw was owed to him, giving Zhu Xu a stern look.

There was no nonsense from beginning to end, and after class, I picked up the book and went home.

Wei Zhongxian was so proud that he breathed a sigh of relief.

Ye Xianggao, Zhao Nanxing and others resigned, which greatly reduced his pressure and his ambitions became increasingly expanding.

At this moment, he was sitting on the high seat of the East Factory, with all the internal officials and his followers under him. There were more than fifty people in the hall, and more than ten officials of third rank or above!

"Father-in-law, there are many vacancies in various departments this time, so I hope my father-in-law will deal with it well." A middle-aged man in the seventh-rank official uniform stood up and said with a compliment.

After his words fell, the crowd became jealous.

Fellowships were prevalent in the late Ming Dynasty, and fellow villagers were connected with each other, and many of them wanted to push them up.

Wei Zhongxian looked at the group of people below, and his heart became more and more exciting. His eyes were flashing with cold light, and he said in a deep voice: "You can draw a record for me. In addition, some people cannot be let go!"

After Wei Zhongxian finished speaking, the people in the lobby suddenly became bustling again.

The people here are either internal officials who are suppressed by external ministers, or they are regarded as the remnants of the "evil party" by the Donglin Party. They are angry at the Qingliu and the Donglin Party in the court. When Wei Zhongxian gains power, they will naturally not let them go easily.

The group of people discussed for a while, and they all walked out of Wei Zhongxian's private house with joy.

A storm to purge the Donglin Party is coming.

All the ministers in the court have experienced a long history of officialdom, political and political sense. Whether it is within the Donglin Party or the neutral Qingliu, they all resigned one after another, causing more and more vacancies in the court.

It was early August of the year again, and the weather was hot. Zhu Xu came out of the palace with the sun. Even in the teahouse, he still felt the heat in his lungs even when he was drinking herbal tea.

Facing opposite him was Zhou Yingqiu, the Minister of Works. After so long, Zhou Yingqiu had already vaguely realized that his "noble man" was probably not the Empress, but His Highness Hui in front of him!

Zhou Yingqiu looked calm and held a teacup, but there was a condensation in his eyes.

"I heard that Wang Shaohui, Ni Wenhuan and Wei Zhongxian have been getting close to each other recently. What is the point to be recorded?"

Zhu Xu put down the teacup and asked with a faint expression. (To be continued.)
