Chapter Ninety-Three: Opening the Sea Five

Yes, Zhu Qizhen has decided to keep Wang Zhen.

It's not how deep the relationship between Zhu Qizhen and Wang Zhen is. But Zhu Qizhen is really inseparable from Wang Zhen.

Wang Zhen controls the Jinyi Guard, the celebrant supervisor. All of this power is indirectly in his hands.

Once Wang Zhen can't stand. Replaced Kim Young. Whether he can listen to him or not, Zhu Qizhen really doesn't know if he has arrived.

The wings are not yet full, and it is impossible for Zhu Qizhen to leave Wang Zhen.

Zhu Qizhen said: "Tell me, what are you going to do now?" ”

Wang Zhen said cautiously: "Otherwise, Li Shimian will be sent to prison." ”

Zhu Qizhen sneered and said: "You think it's very beautiful, not to mention the master-apprentice relationship between Mr. Li and me, you have been caught, and you are not secret, can't Mr. Li say it?" ”

"Even if I agree, the Empress Dowager will not allow it."

Wang Zhen only listened to the second half of the sentence, and he also admitted that with the Empress Dowager there, Li Shimian couldn't touch it, and suppressed this hatred in his heart. Just as he was about to say something, he heard someone say outside: "Your Majesty, Lord Yu asks to see you." ”

Zhu Qizhen immediately sat on the throne and said, "Please." ”

As soon as Yu Qian came in, after saluting, he immediately pleaded guilty and said: "This matter is the minister's fault, and the minister's information is not clear." ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "It's no wonder that Mr. Yu is doing this, it's because Wang Daban has made too many mistakes. Someone caught my feet hurt. ”

Yu Qian said: "Your Majesty, the minister also checked it just now, and most of the ten sins played by Lord Li are true, and now the government and the opposition are excited, and the officials are vying to be the first to write the book. ”

"Lord Li's early court today is just the beginning."

Zhu Qizhen only felt a headache and said, "I have long known that something is wrong with Mr. Li today, so it turns out that this hand is here." ”

Don't think that Li Shi is loyal and upright, so he doesn't know what to do.

It's not that he doesn't know that before His Majesty came into power, the early dynasty was just a fiction. But he still didn't say anything. It's not for Zhu Qizhen, but for hundreds of officials.

Although the early dynasty did not discuss major matters for a long time, it was already very ceremonial, but all the civil and military officials and departments, one of them was considered a high-ranking official.

So in the early dynasty, this major event happened. At that time, it caused a sensation in Beijing officialdom.

If there is a hot search in this era, then Li Shimian's impeachment of Wang Zhen will definitely be hot.

Not to mention anything else, one of the officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is counted as one, and most of them are writing songs, and I am afraid that in the afternoon, snowflakes-like notes will fly over.

Zhu Qizhen said: "Mr. Yu, what should I do now?" ”

Yu Qian said: "Hundreds of officials have criticized the prince for a long time, even if Your Majesty loves the prince, you should let the prince avoid the limelight." As long as His Majesty expresses the matter of resigning from the West, the prince will be ordered to leave Beijing. If you want to come to the hearts of the ministers, you can also be appeased. ”

Zhu Qizhen looked at Yu Qian, and suddenly found that Yu Qian was so unfamiliar.

Zhu Qizhen was silent for a while, and said, "Do you have to leave the palace with Wang Daban?" ”

Yu Qian said: "The minister expected the wrong hundred officials to be indignant at the prince, if Your Majesty gives up the matter of opening the sea, the matter of the prince can be delayed for the time being." It's just that the minister is worried that if he misses this opportunity, it will be difficult to talk about opening the sea in the future. ”

Zhu Qizhen looked at Yu Qian, as if he wanted to see something from Yu Qian's expression. But the suspicion of Qian in his heart is getting bigger and bigger, and he always feels that he is not helpless, but he is happy to see Wang Zhen out of the palace.

After all, no matter which civil official doesn't want it, there is a eunuch with great influence by the emperor's side. He suspected that Yu Qian was pushing the boat down the river.

Zhu Qizhen is now bent on the Nanyang strategy, wanting to plant a nail in the Nanyang and lay an ambush for the future.

If it weren't for the fact that this one thing was so important. Zhu Qizhen didn't want to discuss with the Empress Dowager, so in Zhu Qizhen's inner trade-off, let Wang Zhen leave the palace as a price. Not necessarily.

But his doubts about humility rose. He wasn't ready to make a decision right away.

Zhu Qizhen suddenly understood what the Empress Dowager said at this moment.

The loyalty that a loyal minister thinks is not necessarily the loyalty that the above wants.

Yu Qian thought about it, maybe he took the opportunity to eradicate the traitors around the emperor. But Zhu Qizhen couldn't accept that he had his arm broken. What is even more unacceptable is to be toyed with in applause by the people below.

This person is even Yu Qian, a loyal minister proven by history. No, either.

Zhu Qizhen was deeply skeptical at the moment if Yu Qian had dug a pit a long time ago, wanting to kill two birds with one stone, get rid of Wang Zhen, and also do what the emperor explained by the way.

It's just that Zhu Qizhen is only suspicious, and he will always be suspicious. I won't ask in this life. But Zhu Qizhen's acting skills still haven't arrived at home. Feeling a little lost, he said: "Mr. Yu will rest for a while, and you have been busy for a long time in the morning, as for this matter, I will think about it again." ”

After Zhu Qizhen sent him away, he also waved his hand to retreat all the people in the Qianqing Palace. A lonely person walked in the Qianqing Palace, his hand stroking on a bookshelf. Touching the wooden signs on the bookshelf, from the north and south to Zhili, to Guizhou and Yunnan.

Came to a wind chime. With a slight touch, there was a crisp sound of metal crashing.

"Monarchs and ministers fight a hundred battles in one day." Zhu Qizhen sighed lightly and said, "I only learned today that Han Feizi really meant. What is a lonely person is to fight the world alone. ”

"The tile thorns, the Jurchens, Vietnam, Nanyang, Sanyang, Zhang Fu, the Empress Dowager, and the people of the world are all my people, and they are all my enemies."

"What kind of gentleman and minister, what he thinks is righteous, and what I think is the same thing as what I think."

"Your Majesty is a great loyalty, is it because I want to be swayed by you loyal ministers?"

Zhu Qizhen opened his arms and said, "Take a look, see who is left and right whom." ”

Zhu Qizhen finally clarified his positioning. After trying to understand this truth, I still face the dilemma in front of me. But what he thinks is different.

Put it in the perspective of the Ming Dynasty and stick a nail in the South Seas. That's the most important thing.

But at this moment, Zhu Qizhen clearly understood one thing. That is, the values are different, the interests are different, and there is no negotiation at all. Only power is the most important.

Only power is the most important thing.

I am the country.

My interests are higher than the interests of the country.

If he can't guarantee his position, even if he sticks a nail in the South Seas, it will still be a situation of giving up in the future.

He finally understood Jian Gong's words at this moment.

Only power has everything, and for an emperor, it is even more so, power is life, power is breathing, and power is the pulse.

Because as an emperor, he is born to live with power, and an emperor without power, even if he is healthy, is a dying person.

What will be the Ming Dynasty for thousands of generations, far away from the Han and Tang Dynasties.

This is the thinking of ordinary people, and the thinking of the emperor should be the flood after my death.

Therefore, the Nanyang Shi family can be put aside, and Wang Zhen must be kept.

Only by keeping Wang Zhen can he maintain his influence in the palace, and by keeping the Jinyi Wei line, he can compete with Jin Ying's East Factory. At least it is guaranteed that he will not die in the palace.

It also preserved his prestige.

Otherwise, even a caring person like Wang Zhen can't be saved, who will still follow the emperor.

As for whether Wang Zhen is a bastard or not, whether he is heinous or not, I'm sorry, this matter can only be put aside for a while. The struggle for power is a war.

The first thing he has to make sure is win or lose.

And then determine whether it is righteous or not.

Because the king is defeated and defeated. Losers can't be just.

Zhu Qizhen straightened out his thoughts, and first thought of it, who is this enemy?

It's the Empress Dowager, it's Yang Shiqi, it's Hu Hu, it's Zhang Fu, or someone else.

What he is most worried about is what will happen to the Queen Mother, if it is the Queen Mother, this matter will not be easy to handle.

It's just this one thing, and only one person can answer it for him.

This person is Yang Rong.

Zhu Qizhen thought of Yang Rong, and Yang Rong came.

Someone outside said, "Emperor, Lord Yang Rong has arrived." ”

Zhu Qizhen said, "Please let him in." Then he thought of something and said, "No, I will meet you myself." Then he pushed the door out and came to the courtyard, and Yang Rong had just entered the gate at the moment, he never expected that Zhu Qizhen was in front of him. He immediately saluted and said, "Your Majesty." ”

Zhu Qizhen hugged Yang Rong and said, "Mr. Yang, I ------" His eyes widened, and he looked like he wanted to cry.
