In the cabinet, the first assistant Shen Shixing and the scholar Wang Xijue carried out the second negotiation, and the subject of the negotiation was of course the high-level power structure of the Ming court.

At this moment, a member of the middle school stood outside the door and shouted: "There is an urgent report! The people of the Guozijian rioted, and thousands of people swarmed out from the Guozijian and went straight to the Ministry of Rites along the street!"

Shen and Wang glanced at each other, and Shen Shixing ordered: "Probe and report again!"

Lord Zaifu is a figure who has not changed his color after the collapse of Mount Tai, and the news of the rebellion of the prisoner of the country is only a breeze, and it does not affect anything, so the two continue to talk.

As we all know, there are currently three forces united and pointing the finger at Shen Shoufu. However, among these three forces, the details of their interests are different.

The main idea of the Qingliu forces was to attack Shen Shixing's power and push Shen Li into the cabinet and become a powerful scholar of Zaifu; Wu Shilai's idea was mainly to expel Yang Wei, a loyal henchman of Shen Shoufu, and make himself the secretary of the ministry.

Therefore, the real first purpose is to drive away Shen Shixing, but the three red forces of Li Zhi, Jiang Dongzhi, and Yang Keli are only. Their intention was to oust Shen Shoufu from power and elect Wang Xijue as Shoufu.

However, Wang Xijue himself doesn't really want to completely tear his face with Shen Shixing at present, and he is also very soberly aware that Shen Shoufu will definitely pay a heavy price.

Only the young and vigorous and "juvenile" aspiring Sanhong people will think things so simple. Although Wang Xijue has the intention of using the three red people deep down, he does not want to become the puppet of the three red people.

Between whale swallowing and encroachment, Wang Xijue tends to encroach on the strategy, so there are rounds of negotiations. Wang Xijue hoped to solve the problem through negotiations, let Shen Shixing compromise and make concessions, and first give up the most important position of the official secretary.

If he can control the ministry, then he Wang Xijue can attack and retreat, and lose at least half of the power of the first assistant who controls the ministry, which is different from the rank of ordinary cabinet scholars.

After drinking a few cups of tea, Wang Xijue saw that Shen Shixing still refused to give in, so he could only sigh and persuade bitterly: "The current situation is like this, how can you be too stubborn and refuse to give up at all?"

The kings of the three parties are menacing, and you must make up your mind to survive with your tail cut off, which is the best policy! Otherwise, the jade will be burned, and it is really not what I want, and the Ming cabinet will also be indispensable to Shenwu County!"

Wang Xijue really felt that he had done his best to be benevolent and righteous, and had already considered this situation for Shen Shoufu, what else did Shen Shoufu want? In this situation of being besieged from three sides, did he really think that he could pass the test safely without paying a little price?

The scholar from the previous middle school turned around and stood outside the door and shouted: "There is another urgent report!" Under the leadership of the prisoner Fan Hongdao, the students of the Guozi Prison forced Lord Shen of the Ministry of Rites to resign in public, and the Ministry of Rites became a mess!"

Wang Xijue, who was talking endlessly, suddenly stopped abruptly, and Shen Shoufu, who had not spoken for a long time, said to himself: "The monarchs of the three parties have gone to one side. ”

Wang Xijue suddenly felt that today was not an auspicious day for the zodiac, and it was not suitable for negotiations. The last time the negotiations were interrupted because of Fan Hongdao, and this time it was because of Fan Hongdao, why are the major affairs of the court always affected by this small role in jumping beams? Those Qingliu forces are simply waste, how can they even lead the backbone of the leader, and they will be crippled by Fan Hongdao in three days!

It is not only the big people who are affected, but also small eunuchs like Wang An. He only felt that the insights generated by today's day were no less than the effect of being taught a day by his godfather Chen Ju'er. He returned to the palace in a distracted manner, it was already evening, and he almost missed the time when the palace gate was locked.

According to the rules, when he went to greet his godfather Chen Gonggong, the eunuch Xiao Wang told his godfather what he saw and heard today, and Chen Gonggong sighed: "Now you understand? Although you and I have both studied in the inner study hall, what we have learned in our chests is not necessarily worse than those who read outside, but after all, it is still different."

From the moment the roots are broken, there is no way out for my generation, which is really different from those who read. As for today's insights, you can go back to the house and experience the gains and losses!

If you can achieve something in the future, you will inevitably have to deal with the kings of the temple. Speaking of which, Fan Hongdao is about to come to the inner study hall to teach, so you can familiarize yourself with the routines of the reader from Fan Hongdao!"

Hearing the words "temple lords", Wang An remembered the Shen Li, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites he saw today, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "I really didn't expect that a book of the Ministry of Rites would be such a high position, so Shen Li said he didn't want it." ”

"For a scholar like him, the official position is often just a skin. Chen Ju said meaningfully: "Look at it, the excitement is not over yet." ”

Eunuch Wang didn't quite understand it again: "The official position is just their skin?

Chen Ju is still very attentive to teaching his godson, and patiently explained: "The group of scholars, or scholars, is self-contained, and naturally has a set of rules and regulations internally.

And the official position is often just a tool for people like Shen Li, and the loss of the official position does not affect his status in Shilin. Others respect him as Shen Li, not the Book of Rites. ”

Eunuch Wang immediately had an idea: "To a large extent, the official position of scholars is only the manifestation and external form of their influence in Shilin. Then our eunuchs are different, the positions are all given by the emperor, symbolizing the gift of the emperor, and if you don't have a position, you won't die!"

The resignation of the leader of the Qingliu forces and the secretary of the Ministry of Rites in public is definitely a major event that shakes the imperial court, and of course it cannot be finished like this. What's more, without any warning in advance, most people suddenly heard Shen Shangshu say that he was going to resign, and they were completely unprepared, and they would only be more shocked.

That night, Gu Xiancheng of the Literature and Anthology Department of the Ministry of Officials rushed to Shen Li's mansion and must inquire about it. It stands to reason that Qian Yiyi, who is an old senior, should also go as the eldest brother who is the leader of the Taoist official, but now Qian Yiyi has been beaten by Fan Hongdao and is completely disgraced, and now he can only thank guests at home according to the custom.

According to the political game play of the Ming Dynasty, if the officials who were impeached by others who beat the drum in a suicidal way, if they still flamboyant and unscrupulous activities, they have no fear of public opinion, which is very contemptible.

"There is a problem with Yu Kongbiao!" After listening to the process in the Shen Mansion, Gu Xiancheng immediately made a judgment.

The fuse of the Guozijian riot was that Fan Hongdao was persecuted by the Ministry of Rites, but the Ministry of Rites did not know about it, so what was the problem? The only explanation is that Yu Kongbiao concealed the Shangshu Shen Li, and started to persecute Fan Hongdao, and then led the fire to the Ministry of Rites!

Reviewing the whole process from the beginning of the results, if there is no problem with Yu Kongbiao, who else has a problem? It is simply a deliberate attempt by Yu Kongbiao to deliberately arouse public anger!
