After hearing this, Sun Chengzong hurriedly bowed down and agreed, and said, "The minister must tell him." ”

Chen Hong nodded, stretched out his hand to help Sun Chengzong up, and then smiled and arched his hand to the four cabinet scholars and said, "Your Majesty's words have been passed on to our family, so our family will leave." A few pavilion elders were busy. ”

The four of them sent Chen Hong out with a smile, and then returned to their own place.

This happened so suddenly, you have to think carefully about what happened.

Even Sun Chengzong is the same, he recommended Yuan Keli and sought the position of the royal academy to sacrifice wine, but now His Majesty did not use him, but sent Denglai as the governor.

Of course, compared to Yuan Keli's previous official position, Governor Denglai can also be regarded as a promotion and reuse, but it is not calculated by himself.

Thinking of this, Sun Chengzong could only smile bitterly, His Majesty didn't want to let himself get involved in this matter.

Yuan Keli, who was recommended by himself, was used by His Majesty, and he was reused, which cut off the meaning of continuing to recommend himself, and at the same time reused his own people, making it clear that he was appeasing himself: Don't get excited, I have no opinion on you, I trust you, and I will use the people you recommend, but not this time.

Sun Chengzong could think of this, and the other three people could also think of it.

However, the other three people thought differently, why did His Majesty treat Sun Chengzong like this?

It's definitely not because he doesn't want to see Sun Chengzong, this is clearly an abnormal treatment of grace. Then His Majesty doesn't want Sun Chengzong to mix, but wants to let his people continue to mix.

The reason is also very simple, there are only two, one is that His Majesty wants to see his own people eat dogs, and he doesn't want Sun Chengzong to end up, so as not to hurt him by mistake, so he uses this method to make him retreat.

The second is that His Majesty is not satisfied with the people recommended by Sun Chengzong, so he has to choose from several of his own recommended people. But Sun Chengzong is His Majesty's teacher, and His Majesty doesn't want to hurt him, so he uses this method to make him retreat.

There may be both, but as for which one to believe, it depends on your own interpretation.

The atmosphere of the cabinet was strange for a day.

At the end of the shift, several people didn't understand it too much, but one thing they knew was that the remaining three people were probably going to fight.

Han Yi, the first assistant of the cabinet, Xu Guangqi, the second assistant of the cabinet, and Huang Kezhang, a scholar of the cabinet, all three of them have their own plans.

In the West Garden.

Zhu Youxiao is fishing by the lake.

He reached out and tapped on the arm of the chair, without much expression on his face. But he thought of something, and it seemed that he could start the next step.

Several forces in the court are plotting and calculating with each other, and they can just take the opportunity to do something.

So Zhu Youxiao turned his head to look at Chen Hong beside him, and said expressionlessly: "You go and find Wei Zhongxian and Luo Sigong tomorrow, I have something to ask them." ”

The alarm bell in Chen Hong's heart suddenly sounded, but even so, he hurriedly agreed: "Yes, Emperor." ”

Although Chen Hong wanted to ask what was going on, the emperor obviously didn't mean to say it.

At this time, if he dared to inquire again, it would be too obvious, and it was estimated that the emperor would kill him.

So Chen Hong pondered for a long time, but he still didn't dare to ask.

After a moment of silence, Zhu Youxiao said again: "Let Han Lidao of Qingyunmen come over, I want to practice." The last time he gave me a lecture on Tai Chi Xuanqing Dao, he hadn't finished it, and he would let him come over every day after dinner for an hour. ”

"Yes, my lord, the slave will arrange it." Chen Hong was slightly stunned, and hurriedly agreed.

This Han Li had been left out in the cold for a long time, originally Chen Hong thought that the emperor had forgotten about him, but he didn't expect that he would suddenly be summoned now.

Soon Han Li was brought in.

Zhu Youxiao glanced at Han Li and found that this Taoist priest was actually fat. He has been in the palace for so long, and he has not lost weight at all, but has eaten oily and slippery.

After seeing this scene, Zhu Youxiao laughed directly. This man is also a man with a big heart.

"Poor Dao, see Your Majesty." After seeing Zhu Youxiao, Han Li hurriedly bowed and saluted.

After being in this palace for so long, Han Li figured it out, he had probably explained it like this in his life, and it was definitely impossible to leave.

If you are obedient, you may have a good death; If you don't obey, you won't be able to get sick and die one day.

Therefore, Han Li's mentality is now very positive, he is Han Li, the outcast of Qingyun Sect, and he will do whatever His Majesty asks him to do.

After seeing Zhu Youxiao, the expression on Han Li's face was very respectful.

Zhu Youxiao nodded with satisfaction and said, "I invite the Taoist chief to come over today, just to let the Taoist master give me a lecture on Taiji Xuanqing Dao." The last time I heard the Taoist talk about Tai Chi Xuanqing Dao, I had a lot of insights in my heart, and I have recently found a sense of qi. According to what the Dao Leader said, after cultivating for a few more days, I am afraid that he will be able to reach the realm of Qi refining. ”

"Congratulations to Your Majesty!" Han Li hurriedly said with a happy face: "Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, and he is born with more luck than mortals, which is just right for cultivating my Qingyun Sect's Taiji Xuanqing Dao. Now His Majesty's miraculous skills have appeared, and this is God's intention for His Majesty to attain the Tao. ”

Looking at Han Li's serious expression, Zhu Youxiao nodded with satisfaction.

It seems that this Han Li has improved a lot, and he is much stronger than before.

Zhu Youxiao smiled softly and said, "Then the Taoist will continue, right?" ”

These days, he has nothing to do in the palace, he eats, sleeps, sleeps and eats every day, and at most walks around the courtyard and goes to the alchemy room to refine a pill. Han Li knew what His Majesty wanted him to do, so he simply took it seriously, this was also to save his life.

So he asked Chen Hong for a lot of Taoist books, and he read them all day long, and he had some experience in swallowing dates.

After receiving His Majesty's order, Han Li began to speak.

It's really interesting to talk about this, and Zhu Youxiao is actually interested in listening to it. Although he didn't understand it very well, it was because he didn't understand it that he found it interesting.

Han Li had been talking for most of the hour, and he didn't dare to ask for a glass of water even if his mouth was dry.

Zhu Youxiao saw Han Li's gaze drifting to the tea cup on the table from time to time, and he knew it in his heart, and said with a smile, "I have benefited a lot today. The Taoist chief has also worked hard, so go back and rest. ”

After Han Li stood up, Zhu You said to Chen Hong, "Reward some things for the Dao Master." ”

"Yes, Emperor." Chen Hong hurriedly agreed, and then sent Han Li out to receive the reward.

In fact, Chen Hong didn't understand now, the original matter of the emperor looking for this Han Lilai, he could say that the whole process was clear, this person was a liar found by Dongchang. The emperor raised this Taoist priest in the palace, and let him come out and show his face from time to time.

Originally, Chen Hong didn't think there was anything, but now the more he looks at it, the more he feels that the emperor really believes in this Taoist priest.

However, Chen Hong still didn't believe it in his heart, but felt that something might happen again.

The last time the emperor was so close to this Taoist priest, it was the matter of Xiong Tingbi in Liaodong. Because of Xiong Tingbi's incident, how much storm has it set off?

It was precisely because of Xiong Tingbi's incident that a series of Donglin Party cases and other things were introduced. It can be said that Xiong Tingbi's matter is the beginning of the whole change, and now that the emperor has brought this Han Li out again, I'm afraid that something big is about to happen.

Thinking that the emperor was going to summon Dongchang and Jinyiwei tomorrow, Chen Hong felt that this matter was a bit of a big deal.

But he really doesn't know what the matter is, and it's impossible to send news to Jinyiwei, it seems that it is basically impossible to want Jinyiwei to behave better than Dongchang; wants to pit Wei Zhongxian. It should also be impossible.

The news that His Majesty had summoned this Han Li again quickly spread outside.

The courtiers had different ideas, no matter what they thought, they were somewhat unable to take care of it now, after all, it was the most critical moment of the battle, and they didn't have much to think about it. What's more, His Majesty has not been looking for this Taoist priest for a day or two, and there is no good way to stop it for the time being.

But there is another thing that surprises many people. Because His Majesty met this Taoist priest yesterday, he summoned Wei Zhongxian of Dongchang and Luo Sigong of Jinyi Wei into Xiyuan today. Some people feel that something is going to happen again.

In the pavilion by the lake, Zhu Youxiao met with Wei Zhongxian and Luo Sigong.

Looking at the two people kneeling on the ground, Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said, "Okay, you guys get up." ”

After the two of them stood up, Zhu Youxiao didn't speak, just kept playing with the fishing rod in his hand, and only raised his head after a while, and said quite frightenedly: "I had a dream the day before yesterday, and I dreamed that a huge arrow flew from the far sky and shot directly into my chest. I woke up from my dream. ”

Hearing the words of their own emperor, Wei Zhongxian and Luo Sigong glanced at each other, and then immediately separated their eyes.

Zhu Youxiao didn't go to see them, but continued: "So I brought Han Lidao from Qingyun Sect to interpret my dreams. ”

"According to what Daoist Han Li said, this dream should be Nezha Shooting the King, when Nezha was born, he could not be born for three years, and after he was born, he would be able to walk and speak, and at the same time, his body contained divine power, and he could pull away the Xuanyuan Bow that no one had been able to pull away."

"On an inadvertent occasion, Nezha shot an arrow, which flew directly from Chentang Pass to Chaoge and landed on the bedside of King Xu. This dream of mine should be here. ”

Both of them looked a little unsightly.

Especially Wei Zhongxian, he now wanted to kill this Han Li. A scumbag liar I found at the beginning, and now I dare to say such a thing?

It's just that there seems to be no way to kill him now, because he has the trust of the emperor. But it will definitely not work if it goes on like this, he actually dares to compare the emperor to the king, this kind of person should be killed.

If you can't kill him yourself, let those civil officials make trouble.

Yes, I'll get the news out when I get back. Those civil officials had long seen that stinky Taoist priest as unpleasant, and now that they have such an opportunity, how can they give it up?

Zhu Youxiao didn't look at their expressions, but continued to speak: "This dream is not supposed to be on the body of the king of the Emperor, but for someone who intends to rebel. So I brought the two of you here today, and you two came to tell me that Jinyiwei and Dongchang had received any news? ”

Whether it is Wei Zhongxian from Dongchang or Luo Sigong from Jinyiwei, both of them are confused.

Your Majesty dreamed that an arrow was shot into his arms, and the stinky Taoist priest said that this was the king who should shoot at Nezha, and then said that someone wanted to rebel, and His Majesty asked the two of them to find the rebels?

Where the is this found?

Do you want to find a few people to come out and impostor after you go back?

"Didn't Dongchang and Jinyiwei receive the news?" Zhu Youxiao looked at the two of them, and said in a somewhat unkind tone: "I spend a lot of money every year to support Dongchang and Jinyiwei, giving you so much trust and power, and that's how you repay me?" ”

Wei Zhongxian and Luo Sigong were both about to cry, what is this called?

However, the two of them also looked helpless, and they hated that Han Li to death in their hearts, but there was no other way, they couldn't go back now and find an anti-thief to come out, right?

You can't fool yourself with such a dream?

So Wei Zhongxian and the two hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "The slave is guilty." ”

"The minister is guilty."

Zhu Youxiao's expression seemed to soften a little, and said, "Then do you have any solutions?" ”

Wei Zhongxian and the others hesitated, but they really couldn't think of any good way. However, at this time, it is most important to take power from yourself, so Wei Zhongxian spoke.

He hurriedly took a few steps forward and said, "Emperor, the slave maid thinks that someone should be sent to monitor the world. Since there are people with bad intentions in this world, it is naturally the most appropriate to send people to inspect the world. ”

"Dongchang is willing to take this matter forward, and each province will set up a special branch to inspect the local area every year. Anyone who plots something wrong will immediately report back to Beijing. ”

Zhu Youxiao didn't go to see Wei Zhongxian, if he could agree to this kind of thing, there would be ghosts.

Although the eunuchs and civil officials poured dirty water on each other, there are some things in it that are true, and the civil officials said that the eunuchs' bad things are not all fake.

For example, eunuchs are greedy for money, which Zhu Youxiao can understand, after all, as a man, what he wants to live in the world is nothing more than those few things: beauty, money, or fame.

If you become a eunuch, your reputation will surely be gone; If you want a beautiful woman, you have more than enough heart and not enough power, so it doesn't matter. Then only money remains.

As a eunuch, there are two roles in collecting money, one is to dedicate it to the emperor, so that you can make meritorious service and get promoted; The other is to put it in your own pocket to make yourself rich.

After all, as a eunuch, there will be no descendants in the future, and when he is old and leaves the palace, the money can provide for his own retirement.

Therefore, the eunuchs are more fond of money, if they go to the place, it will definitely be extortion and bribery, expropriation and extortion, it is not strange for them to do Zhu Youxiao so much, so he will not think that the eunuchs are all good people.

If you listen to Wei Zhongxian and let them out, then the world will probably be chaotic.

Tossing in the court and in the capital, it doesn't matter how big or small the movement is. But it is absolutely not possible down there, and it must be stable.

Maintaining stability is the most important thing.

Besides, his purpose is not to expand the power of Dongchang, so it's strange that he can agree!

Zhu Youxiao didn't speak, and Luo Sigong, the brocade-clothed guard on the side, couldn't stand.

What's to be done?

Isn't it robbing us of Jinyiwei's business?

This job is the most suitable for our Jinyiwei, the east factory or something to stand aside, what to make forward?

So Luo Sigong took a step forward and said, "Your Majesty, it is most appropriate to leave this matter to Jinyiwei." ”
