If it weren't for Zhang Huangyan's "squeezing", Wu Zheng would have no intention of finding Qian Sule.

Many coincidental things have come together, which has caused this chaos that shouldn't have happened.

And Dong Yingdi's reaction was indeed very fast.

After hearing about this, his first reaction was to feel that the opportunity had come.

Dong Yingdi immediately connected with other censors and several court officials and rushed to Liao Zhongping, in order to stop Liao Zhongping from going to mediation.

There is no love for no reason in the world, and naturally there is no hatred for no reason.

The reason why Dong Yingdi was determined to go against Wu Zheng was to kill Wu Zheng, is actually very simple.

The word "interest".

On the surface, Wu Zheng and Dong Yingdi have no intersection.

But in fact, Wu Zheng touched Dong Yingdi's cheese part of the officials.

Before, when King Zhu Yihai of Lu was supervising the country, Fang Guoan and Wang Zhiren intercepted hundreds of thousands of taxes from more than ten counties around Shaoxing Prefecture, including Dong Ying's first group.

Just imagine, Fang Guoan was stationed in Tun on the east bank of Qiantang River, and Wang Zhiren was even far away in Dinghai.

Even if the two of them want to intercept the taxes in more than a dozen counties around Shaoxing Prefecture, how can they be transferred to the east and west places?

This collection and transportation require manpower, and even more so, the coordination of the upper class of the court and the cooperation of the local government.

It is self-evident what role Dong Yingdi, as the Minister of Revenue, played in this.

It was not that no one expected the important officials in the court, but were afraid of Fang Guoan and Wang Zhiren's army, for fear of forcing them to rebel and causing a catastrophe.

Zhu Yihai really didn't know that he didn't have that kind of insight.

As of this, Dong Yingdi and the others couldn't take their anger out of Wu Zheng.

However, Wu Zheng's rapid rise and Fang Guoan's rebellion came to Wu Zheng's proposal to depose Zhu Yihai and support Zhu Mai.

In the end, Wu Zheng integrated the Lianghuwei Institute into an iron plate, almost southeast of Shaoxing, and became a country among the country.

In fact, the imperial court has lost the ability to tax several counties southeast of Shaoxing Prefecture.

There are only eight counties in Shaoxing Prefecture, and the cake is only so big.

Wu Zheng scored more points, so naturally some people scored less.

The so-called blocking one's way of wealth is undoubtedly a murder of parents.

This is how hatred comes from.

But this hatred is not to the point of death.

This is also the reason why Dong Ying has always been the first to pull a group of officials to impeach Wu Zheng whenever he has the opportunity.

At that time, Dong Yingdi and others just wanted to pull Wu Zheng off the horse, rather than killing Wu Zheng.

But it started with the Wu campaign in the Northern Expedition, especially the occupation of Hangzhou Prefecture.

The nature of this matter has changed.

In addition to greed, human hearts also have an important negative emotion - jealousy.

Jealousy, commonly known as jealousy.

Wu Zheng's prosperity in Hangzhou Prefecture made Dong Yingdi and others jealous.

This is different from Fang Guoan plundering half of Hangzhou city and pulling back twenty ships of property.

If Fang Guoan snatched a basket of eggs, then Wu Zheng wouldn't even let go of the chicken that lays eggs.

In addition, Fang Guoan has a deep qualification and has always been the Duke of the State since Zhu Yihai.

As the saying goes, persimmons have to be picked and pinched. In the eyes of Dong Yingdi and others, Wu Zheng has a shallow foundation and has risen too quickly, so he naturally cannot be compared with Fang Guoan.

The rushing too fast also means that the higher you climb, the heavier you fall.

Dong Yingdi and others thought that Wu Zheng fell down. The logic was very simple. Without Wu Zheng in Hangzhou, the court could control the tax power in Hangzhou and surrounding areas. How could the tax collection of the court be bypassed by the Ministry of Revenue?

But Dong Yingdi and others could not predict that Wu Zheng could sing and advance rapidly. In their eyes, the Qing army, which was as stable as Mount Tai, was defeated one after another, which made Wu Zheng find a big mistake.

At this time, Dong Yingdi and others found out that the young man who had a shallow foundation in the past suddenly became a giant that they could not shake, at least in terms of strength, he had formed a downward trend.

At this time, there was a disagreement among Dong Yingdi and others.

Two solutions are: one is to shake hands with Wu Zheng and make peace, and from then on, we will share weal and woe. The other is that water and fire are incompatible, and we will live to the death.

When shaking hands and talking about peace, everyone will naturally be happy. Political and political struggles never shame on surrendering and talking about harmony, but only discuss success or failure. Dong Yingdi and others are familiar with this.

But the problem is that Wu Zheng is different from ordinary people. He said that he is young or arrogant or domineering, he does not have the tolerance and forgiveness that a mature politician should have.

This is no longer a secret.

In fact, as long as Wu Zheng can take the corner of his eyes and glance at Dong Yingdi and the others in his spare time, perhaps the second half of today's incident will not happen.

But Wu Zheng didn't, to be precise, no.

It was precisely because Wu Zheng was "strong" that Dong Yingdi and others moved closer to Wu Zheng in disguise.

In order to protect their power and interests, they fought with Wu to the end.

After all, it’s all for two words - benefit.

The rights in the court are limited, but officials are relatively unlimited.

How to divide up limited power with infinite officials and occupy the big part of it is a science and the root of all political struggles.

Dong Yingdi was a Jinshi during the Wanli period and was qualified, otherwise he would not have been able to get a high position as the Minister of Revenue. He has experienced five dynasties, witnessed party struggles, and the collapse of Wei Zhongxian. He is a witness of political struggles.

In his mind, Wu Zheng's harm was far greater than that of the Qing army.

He was thinking day and night, looking for an opportunity to defeat Wu Zheng, so when the incident happened, he reacted very quickly, that was to take this opportunity to eradicate Wu Zheng.

This matter sounds very difficult. Wu Zheng was the commander of tens of thousands of troops. A civil official with no power. Even if he was a minister, it would be difficult to kill Wu Zheng.

But in Dong Yingdi's opinion, this is very easy.

In fact, Dong Yingdi also didn't believe that Wu Zheng would rebel at this time. To put it bluntly, based on his judgment, if Wu Zheng really wanted to usurp the throne and become independent, why should he personally commit such a major rebellion?

As long as he withdraws his army from the clan, and then uses the Qing army to make a fuss about the clan, he will not only achieve his wish, but will also take the initiative to fight or not to fight with the Qing court in the name of reprimanding the country and revenge of the court.

If you come back and do this in person, you may not be so stupid if your mind is burned.

After confirming that Wu Zheng would not rebel, Dong Yingdi's next plan was found. As long as Wu Zheng was not rebelling, he would be restrained in the fight between the two armies. With restraint, he would be held back. With restraint, he would be the best time to start himself.

To kill people, you don’t have to go through a lot of trouble. To really kill people, you only need one knife.

Even the knife doesn’t need to be too good. It’s blunt or a mouthless one. Even if it’s a hatchet, it’s enough.

There was a battalion of Guards of Liao Zhongping, which made Dong Yingde stand out. The Guards represented Zhu Mai and the court.

As long as Wu Zheng had no intention of rebellion, the arrival of the Guards would make him lose his vigilance, and at least it would reduce his vigilance.
