Chapter 45-Eunuch Party, Donglin, Harem, Imperial Power! (New book!)
The officials all made way for Wei Zhongxian's carriage.
It naturally formed a passage formed by hundreds of officials.
It looked like many officials were welcoming the emperor.
Tian Ergeng, Xu Xianchun, and Wei Zhongxian's subordinates were riding on their horses arrogantly.
However, there was another group of people standing in front of the palace gate, facing Wei Zhongxian without fear.
In the current court, only the Donglin Party could compete with Wei Zhongxian.
The Donglin Party was a bureaucrat class political group in the late Ming Dynasty, mainly composed of Jiangnan scholar-bureaucrats.
Jiangnan is rich.
Apart from being rich, it also produced a lot of students.
After the Tumu Fortress Rebellion, the generals of the Ming Dynasty gradually began to fall.
The civil officials gradually occupied the imperial court. With the Jiangnan Group as the leader and the Donglin College as the leader, they formed a huge group.
It is known as the Donglin Party.
At this moment, there were dozens of people standing opposite Wei Zhongxian's carriage, blocking the palace gate.
These dozens of people were all in important positions.
The cabinet chief assistant scholar Ye Xianggao.
Zhao Nanxing, Minister of Civil Affairs.
The left censor Gao Panlong.
Gu Dazhang, Minister of Rites.
Left Vice Censor Yang Lian.
Left Qian Du Censor Zuo Guangdou.
The Minister of Justice, Wang Zhi.
Sun Shenxing, Minister of Rites.
Wang Wenyan, the secretary of the cabinet, and so on
There were more than ten Donglin Party members standing in front of the palace gate.
Ye Xianggao was the head of the cabinet.
When Wei Zhongxian's carriage reached the palace gate, it was stopped by the Donglin Party.
Wei Zhongxian's henchmen dismounted on both sides.
Tian Ergeng lifted the curtain of the carriage.
Then, a eunuch immediately moved a small stool to the side of the carriage and helped Wei Zhongxian out of the carriage.
He was wearing a wide white robe, and two golden chains hung down from the scarf on his head.
His aged face was full of wrinkles.
However, that pair of eagle-like eyes was unusually sharp and flickered with a bright light.
Wei Zhongxian took two steps forward and cupped his hands at Ye Xianggao.
"Lord Ye."
Ye Xianggao was the current leader of Donglin and the head of the cabinet.
Wei Zhongxian was his biggest enemy.
He had a head of white hair that had experienced the vicissitudes of life, and his eyes were bright. He wore a red official robe, a black official hat, and held a court board in his hand.
Ye Xianggao didn't return Wei Zhongxian's greeting.
This was the attitude of the Donglin Party.
Never associate with eunuchs.
But Wei Zhongxian didn't seem to care.
Instead, he took the initiative to reply.
"Lord Ye, how are you doing? I've been busy with work and haven't seen Lord Ye for a long time.”
"But it looks like Lord Ye's body is still strong.”
"This is the blessing of Great Ming, the blessing of His Majesty.”Wei Zhongxian said with a fake smile.
"Hmph." Ye Xianggao snorted." I'm fine. Thank you for your concern, Eunuch Wei."”
"This old master has also been thinking about Eunuch Wei for a long time. I was afraid that Eunuch Wei would suddenly die that day, but I wouldn't be able to see him again.”
"However, it seems that Eunuch Wei is living very well.”
"Congratulations." Ye Xianggao's words were sharp and did not put Wei Zhongxian, who was now in power, in his eyes.
However, Ye Xianggao's words were too harsh.
The smell of gunpowder in the surroundings instantly became much stronger.
Wei Zhongxian, as the leader of the eunuchs, naturally wouldn't lose his composure.
As the leader of Donglin, Ye Xianggao couldn't be too much.
However, at this moment, the subordinates of the two sides were already glaring at each other.
If it wasn't for the wrong time and place, it seemed like they would have already started fighting.
However, if they attacked, the Donglin Party would definitely not be able to gain any advantage.
Other than the experts from the East Chamber, Wei Zhongxian also had experts from the Brocade Guard.
Just as the anger between the two sides was about to reach its peak.
A call came from behind him.
"Prince Xin has arrived!"
"Prince Xin has arrived!"
"Prince Xin has arrived!"
The sound of simultaneous transmission came from afar.
A gorgeous carriage pulled by two white horses slowly came from afar.
Many officials bowed and cupped their hands towards the carriage.
"Prince Xin Qiansui."
"Prince Xin Qiansui!"
"Prince Xin Qiansui."
The officials bowed.
The carriage passed through hundreds of courtiers.
Then, he came to the middle of Wei Zhongxian and Ye Xianggao.
The carriage's curtains opened first.
Prince Xin, Zhu Youjian, who was dressed in red python clothes, walked down from the carriage.
Compared to Zhu Youxiao, Zhu Youjian was younger.
Moreover, the gentle smile on his face made people feel like they were bathing in the spring breeze.
He had a 70% scholarly aura and 30% noble aura.
In addition to that red python robe.
It gave off the feeling that he was born to be expensive.
"Your Highness Prince Xin."
"Your Highness."
Ye Xianggao and Wei Zhongxian bowed to Zhu Youjian.
Zhu Youjian smiled and helped Ye Xianggao up.
"Lord Ye is still healthy?" Zhu Youjian asked with a smile.
Ye Xianggao quickly nodded." Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. My body is fine. I can still be loyal to the Ming Dynasty and His Majesty."”
Zhu Youjian patted Ye Xianggao's hand and nodded.
Then, he looked at Wei Zhongxian.
"Eunuch Wei, you've worked hard."
"I heard that these days, Eunuch Wei has been handling my sister's marriage and my brother's matters.”
"Eunuch Wei has worked hard in all the affairs of the court. I thank you for your hard work.”
The smile on Prince Xin's face was still amiable.
Wei Zhongxian didn't dare to be negligent, so he cupped his hands towards Zhu Youjian.
"This is what this old servant should do. To be able to share Your Majesty's worries is this old servant's greatest wish.”
"Is His Highness Prince Xin healthy?"
Zhu Youqing nodded.
"It's alright, it's alright. Little Wang has nothing to do all day. Other than eating and sleeping, his body is also very good.”
"It's rare for me to come out today to get some fresh air.”
"Everyone, give Little Wang some face and smile.”
Zhu Youjian's appearance was undoubtedly to smooth things over.
Ye Xianggao and Wei Zhongxian also knew that they couldn't have any conflicts today.
Thus, the two of them stopped mocking him.
"The auspicious time has arrived. The palace gate, open!"
"The auspicious time has arrived. The palace gate, open!"
Accompanied by the shouts of the eunuchs.
The palace gates opened.
Hundreds of officials outside the palace gates immediately took their positions according to their official positions and prepared to enter the palace in turn.
Prince Xin Zhu Youjian walked at the front, wearing a bright red python robe.
Behind them were the Donglin Party led by Ye Xianggao and the eunuch party led by Wei Zhongxian.
"Lord Ye, Eunuch Wei, please!"
Prince Xin Zhu Youjian made an inviting gesture and took the lead to enter the palace.
Palace of Heavenly Purity.
Dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, Zhu Youxiao, who looked a little sick, sat on the dragon throne.
Behind him, the Holy Madam Ke Yinyue sat behind the hanging curtain.
The golden phoenix robe was extremely gorgeous, and there was a calm smile on her charming face.
Outside the hall, the officials filed in.
The show officially began.
