Chapter 26: Breakthrough

Arresting people directly from the Censorate, the soldiers and servants of the yamen were all witnesses, so confidentiality was naturally out of the question.

The news of the Left Ding Yushi-in-Chief being arrested and imprisoned spread among the hundred officials at the fastest speed.

Anyone with a little political brain knew that the Eunuch faction had broken the rules again, which was a sign that something big was about to happen.

Marquis of Zhenyuan's Mansion.

Just after telling his uncle about what happened during the day, he received the news of Yue Shufeng's imprisonment.

"The Left Ding Yushi-in-Chief was arrested; this imperial court is getting more and more lively. What do you think?"

Li Yuan asked with a smile.

When Li Mu first entered the mansion, he just felt that his nephew had potential for cultivation and simply wanted to give him a push.

Later, as Li Mu's ability was constantly displayed, Li Yuan realized that this nephew was not a thing in the pool, and then increased the investment.

In order to cultivate Li Mu's political ability, he often took things in the imperial court to test him and occasionally taught some techniques of being an official.

In addition to relationship background, these invisible officialdom experiences are also the core competitiveness of noble families.

Relying solely on one's own exploration, without ten or eight years of officialdom hammering, it is difficult to grasp the context.

"Uncle, Lord Yue's sudden arrest is likely related to the tablet of Confucius case.

During the day, the Eastern Depot took strong measures to suppress it; the operation of "pointing at a deer and calling it a horse" scared a group of students, but it was difficult to block the mouths of the public.

Taking down the Left Ding Yushi-in-Chief at this time just happens to make the Censorate leaderless.

Even if the Pure Stream party members counterattack later, without the Censorate as a firecracker, the attack power will be weakened by three points."

Li Mu analyzed calmly.

He really didn't know how to evaluate the eunuchs' operations during the day.

Quickly calming the students' petition was definitely not a problem, but the "pointing at a deer and calling it a horse" operation was truly speechless.

The creator of this idiom overturned a great empire.

Imitating it on the street, what would the Emperor think.

Even if he doesn't attack now, he will inevitably have suspicions in his heart.

The civil and military officials in the court are suspicious; if the Emperor wants to bring people down, he still has to carefully layout.

If the operation is slightly careless, he will be scolded by history books.

Eunuchs are different; their power all comes from the Emperor's trust.

Once trust is lost, no matter how prominent the status is, it will instantly turn into nothing.

"The analysis is good, but these are all appearances.

Among the hundred officials in the court, Yue Shufeng's ability can definitely rank in the top ten. When he rectified the canal transport back then, his performance amazed many people.

It's a pity that after this guy entered the capital, he was soon lost by power. Especially after the failure to enter the Cabinet last time, he was like going crazy.

In order to gain an advantage in the court recommendation, he used all means.

Not only did he instruct the censors to frantically impeach and smear competitors, but even His Majesty became the object of his reputation brushing.

He doesn't lack political achievements, and he has reputation.

According to the development of the current situation, Yue Shufeng's entry into the Cabinet is only a matter of time, even if His Majesty can't stop it.

It is precisely because the advantage is too obvious that it has become his way of taking his own life.

His Majesty does not want to see someone who makes fun of him enter the Cabinet.

Once a precedent is opened, everyone will follow suit, and life will be impossible.

The Senior Grand Secretary is old, and his body and energy are not as good as before.

He submitted his resignation three months ago; His Majesty was worried that the balance of the imperial court would be broken, so he tried his best to keep him.

Regardless of how His Majesty tries to keep him, the Senior Grand Secretary is an eighty-year-old person after all, and the change will be a matter of the last year or two.

The four Cabinet Ministers are actively preparing, and no one wants a colleague with a particularly high reputation to appear in the Cabinet, increasing more variables.

During his tenure as Left Ding Yushi-in-Chief, Yue Shufeng has always been the vanguard against the Eunuch faction; the Eunuch faction wishes to get rid of him quickly.

Even without the tablet of Confucius case, the Eunuch faction would use other charges to bring him down."

Li Yuan shook his head and said.

In the imperial court, the Left Ding Yushi-in-Chief was originally a very detached position.

Holding the Censorate, possessing the power to supervise the officials of the imperial court, and only needing to be responsible to the Emperor.

According to common sense, in such a critical position, Yue Shufeng should be the object that all parties compete to win over.

As a result, because he was too anxious to become a chess player, he unknowingly sent himself to a dead end.

"Uncle, Lord Yue is a second-rank official of the imperial court after all; does the Eunuch faction really dare to charge him with treason?"

Li Mu asked with slight hesitation.

High-end political struggle is too far away from his life. Even if he is a human for two lives, this is the first time he has faced high-level game directly.

"Either he rebels, or a certain Grand Secretary in the Pure Stream party rebels.

The party struggle has reached now, and it needs a minister with weight to sacrifice before it can come to an end.

Yue Shufeng jumped too actively; he purely folded himself. If he learned a few points from Grand Secretary Pang, he could have retreated unscathed.

Just wait patiently; in three days at most, this case will be finalized.

The Eunuch faction will not leave rescue time for the Pure Stream party members; this time Yue Shufeng must die!"

Li Yuan said mockingly.

It can be heard from the tone that he has no good feelings for Yue Shufeng. Perhaps there was friction privately; after all, the censor impeaching the nobility is also a daily operation.

At midnight, Grand Secretary Pang, who announced that he was in a coma, was drinking small wine while facing the moon.

As the leader of the Zhe Party in the imperial court, his feelings for Yue Shufeng are the most complex.

Originally, he was prepared to cultivate Yue Shufeng as a political successor, but because of various reasons, he now has to abandon this middle-aged member of the Zhe Party.

"Grand Secretary, you cannot tire your body.

The situation in the imperial court is changing, and Lord Yue is now imprisoned unjustly; everyone is waiting for you to preside over the overall situation!"

The white-clothed scholar on the side opened his mouth to advise.

Faking illness is one thing, and being truly ill is another.

Perhaps in the eyes of many, Grand Secretary Pang's practice of faking illness to avoid disaster at a critical moment is very cowardly. But he, who is good at faking cowardice, has once again successfully avoided danger.

"Mr. Yan, do you think I should have acted to save Shufeng?

Now as long as I speak, the Eunuch faction will not dare to interrogate him with torture, so there is room for maneuver."

Grand Secretary Pang asked self-deprecatingly.

"Grand Secretary, you have your own considerations.

Lord Yue is wronged, mainly because the Eunuch faction is too despicable. Even daring to point at a deer and call it a horse is truly deserving of death!"

Mr. Yan hurriedly explained.

Some things can be thought about, but they must never be said.

Even a second-rank official of the imperial court, the Left Ding Yushi-in-Chief, the second-in-command of the Zhe Party, can become an abandoned piece; let alone he is a private secretary.

"Mr. Yan, you miscalculated this time.

The ones who want Shufeng to die are not just the Eunuch faction, but also the Emperor and the various Grand Secretaries; that group of nobles without any sense of existence is also the mastermind behind the scenes.

So many people want him to die; do you think I can protect him?"

Grand Secretary Pang's words made Mr. Yan break out in a cold sweat.

These words cannot be said, and they are not what he should hear.

Before the status and status go up, knowing too much information will kill people.

"Look, you were scared!

It's not as serious as you think; it's nothing more than the imperial court needing balance.

If the Zhe Party appears with two Cabinet Ministers and integrates the Pure Stream party, hehe..."
