Wang Chengen has indeed suffered a big crime in the past two days, he was originally fine, he could stay in the celebrant to enjoy, these two days, he squatted in the small room not far from the imperial study, did not dare to sleep day and night, and listened to every movement in the imperial study anytime and anywhere.

The reason why this is so is because the British minister and the first assistant of the cabinet, one of the leaders of the Donglin, known as the mud bodhisattva, have been on the bar every day, and they have been arguing since dawn every day, and they will not stop until the evening.

Zhou Daodeng's character is not to say, but his ability is mediocre, but there is an old saying: "When luck comes, the threshold can't be stopped." This sentence could not be more appropriate when applied to Zhou Daodeng. Speaking of Zhou Dao's entry into the pavilion, it is really God-given luck, perhaps it is also God who does not bless the Ming Dynasty.

It is said that after Emperor Chongzhen ascended the throne, he hated Huang Liji, Shi Fenglai, Zhang Ruitu, Li Guopu and other four people in the cabinet at that time, because they were all Wei Zhongxian's minions, and their character and ability were very problematic. In order to rebuild a decent leadership team, he ordered the ministers to recommend ten candidates for prime minister with excellent ability and character, and Zhou Daodeng was also among them.

There are ten candidates, how to choose? At that time, Donglin exerted their skills of opposing for the sake of opposition, you pushed me against, I pushed him against, everyone pushed, I resolutely opposed, this matter has been noisy for many months, and it can't be accurate. There is no way, Emperor Chongzhen has a special trick - catching lots. The result of the first arrest was Qian Longxi, Li Biao, Lai Zongdao, and Yang Jingchen. Chongzhen was not satisfied, and then drew again, Zhou Daodeng and Liu Hongxun were drawn this time. When Zhou Daodeng met Emperor Chongzhen for the first time, he put forward three suggestions in one breath: "One is to keep the ancestral system, the second is to be honest and impartial, and the third is to be responsible and effective." "It sounds like the head is the way, but your taste, your careful taste, is simply old-fashioned nothingness.

But Chongzhen didn't have a taste, and he was very happy, and accepted them all, so he made him a high position as the first assistant of the university.

Zhou Daodeng is stupid and modest, after many years of officialdom, Zhou Daodeng is seriously pretending to be a grandson, and when he achieves a positive result, he finally doesn't have to pretend anymore, because he has become a real grandson. Whether he is an official or doing things, at this time, he does not seek no merit, but seeks no fault, and he will never take a step if he can take half a step. Such a character makes anyone dare to step forward and kick him, and he can endure it.

This time, the mansion of the British Duke was burned, and the two people that the emperor needed to ask, Zhao Xing and Guo Guangsheng were almost assassinated by assassins in the British Mansion, this is a big thing, this is a big event, it is a big event that completely saves the face of the emperor and the prince, and it is definitely not that you can endure it as the first assistant who can definitely pretend to be a grandson.

In particular, such a big matter does not need to be carefully investigated at all, as long as the matter is strung together, it can be explained that it was done by the Donglin Party. And now Donglin is powerful, Zhou Daodeng is still the leader of the Donglin Party, the emperor can't say anything, but the hot British Duke recognized that it was the Donglin Party this time, and Zhou Daodeng had to hand over the people. For this reason, even if the emperor with a good face wants to calm things down, it will not be possible to maintain Donglin.

What's even worse is that the ruthless nobles who were originally eunuchs and suppressed by Donglin also seized this opportunity to follow the British public together, the purpose, three-year-old children know why.

For this reason, the emperor could not go back to the palace to sleep, and could only sleep in the imperial study.

The emperor is about to settle in the imperial study, and as the emperor's companion, Wang Chengen, who is the master of ceremonies, does not dare to go back to his place to rest, so he has to wait at any time, and everyone will follow together.

No, in the imperial study room, which quarrels every day, Donglin, who can bend the most, is three and two around, and I don't know how to go around to Zhao Xing, who is out of touch, to handle the case on the street, and the emperor ordered Wang Chengen to immediately urge Zhao Xing to close the case, and at the same time see how Zhao Xing handled the case.

Look at how to deal with the case, in fact, there are two meanings to understand, one is angry, Zhao Xing has nothing to do, how to deal with the case?

But there is another meaning, that is, really look at how Zhao Xing handled the case, and what level.

It is difficult to guess the mind of the superior, and he must prepare with both hands, but no matter what the superior thinks, he must get things done. So, Wang Chengen immediately found Wang Tiqian, the current superintendent of Dongchang Factory, and sent a suitable person to take a look.

Wang Tiqian also knew that the events of the past two days, if one was not good, the court situation might be shaken, so he simply sent Wang Chengen's subordinate princes to supervise it.

When he received this arrangement at that time, Wang Chengen, who was already anxious, had the intention of strangling Wang Tiqian.

But in the end, I can only lament: anyone can hide, but I can't hide, and I can't hide.

Today, the British Duke went in again, and then Zhou Daoden was summoned, and as time went by, Zheng Guogong and Han Gong were found, which were the British Gong's helpers. Then Zhou Tingru and Wen Tiren also entered, which were Donglin's accomplices. Not long ago, the remnants of the eunuch party came to the sect and Huang Liji also participated. For a while, the imperial study room could not be installed, so the emperor moved the Jiying Palace, unfolded the platform to recruit the right, and made the rare days of rest become more tense than the official dynasty. The sound of quarrels inside can be heard even outside, which is more chaotic than the vegetable market.

At this time, the eunuch Cheng Wang and the Zhongbao Gate came in to ask for a meeting.

Wang Chengen nodded at him: "I'm back, how about listening to the case?" Then he accentuated the tone: "Tell the whole process carefully, don't leave it out." ”

Wang Hezhong carefully described the whole case word for word. Wang Chengen knew that the emperor might have to ask when, and if he didn't answer well, it was his fault to be a slave.

Don't think that there is no danger if you are the companion of the dive house, and you know the temper of the master who accompanied you very well. So he listened carefully, and after listening word for word, Wang Chengen asked Wang Hezhong: "What do you think of this person?" ”

Wang Hezhong kowtowed and replied carefully: "Ancestor, according to the small one, this person is peaceful and not greedy, knows how to do things and obeys the rules, and knows how to prioritize things. ”

"So, it's a perfect person who can be used." Wang Chengen was commenting on this, when a loud noise suddenly came from the Jiying Palace, followed by a miserable scream.

Wang Chengen jumped up as if he was burning his buttocks: "It's over, this is noisy, this is fighting again, everyone prides themselves on being a humble gentleman of scribes, why don't you talk well, why do you always do it." I don't know what kind of stuff I copied again, who became unlucky, we have to go over and see. ”

As he was talking, a little eunuch who was accompanying him hurriedly ran over: "Old Ancestor, Old Ancestor, Yan Yushi was opened by Huang Li and the adult, Zheng Guogong beat Lord Shoufu, Wen Tiren kicked the foot hard in Daozhou, and the emperor ordered the imperial doctor." ”

Wang Chengen was trapped, where is this, but he didn't have time to figure it out, he stomped his feet, picked up the corners of his robe, and hurriedly went out to make arrangements.
