Chapter 278: Wanli Kills
The more Emperor Wanli spoke, the more angry he became, and he said angrily: "The ministers of the court and the central government are all incompetent, if they have to use my internal funds to fill the deficit in everything, what use do I want them to do?!" I've already tried to reduce the amount of money in the palace, and they still have the idea of playing inside! Besides, even if I take out the internal money, I won't be able to fill such a big deficit! ……”
As soon as Concubine Zheng heard this, she knew that the opportunity had come, so she thoughtfully walked behind Emperor Wanli, leaned his head on her plump chest, massaged him with her slender jade fingers, and comforted him softly: "Don't be angry, it's not worth it to be angry with these incompetent ministers, and tomorrow's concubines will call on the concubines in the palace to reduce their use, and they can also do some needlework to make up for it in their spare time, and they can always save some silver......"
This is the cleverness of Zheng Guifei, she took the initiative to reduce the amount of use, so that Wanli's favor for her increased a few points, plus her head massage skills are also very superb, specially asked the imperial doctor in the palace to point out, the acupuncture points are pressed very accurately, and the strength is also just right, much stronger than the technicians of those modern foot bath shops, Wanli closed his eyes and leaned on the soft flesh on her soft chest, hummed comfortably, and moved: "It's still Ai Fei who is empathetic, if those ministers of the court and the central government can always think about sharing worries for me like Ai Fei, I don't have to worry about it so much......"
Concubine Zheng Guifei was secretly overjoyed, and hurriedly hit the railway while it was hot: "The concubine is just a woman, and there are only these things that can help the saint share......
This is just talking about the sore spot of the Wanli Emperor, he is the best at balancing, when choosing cabinet ministers, he will also deliberately find a few ministers with different political views to let them fight by themselves, he is good at balancing behind the back, so that his imperial power is stable, but the disadvantages are not small, the ministers only know infighting, gang factions to engage in party fighting, the government is naturally chaotic, at this time he is a little nostalgic for Zhang Juzheng, Zhang Juzheng was very strong when he was the first assistant, suppressed him to death, and threatened to abolish him as the emperor with the queen mother at every turn, made him, the emperor, very aggrieved, so in the end, he couldn't bear to remove Zhang Juzheng from power, and raided Zhang Juzheng's home, and almost dug up Zhang Juzheng's grave and whipped the corpse.
But now he thinks a little bit about Zhang Juzheng, at least when Zhang Juzheng was the first assistant, the treasury was full, he, the emperor, did not need to worry about the silver, he didn't know that firewood, rice, oil and salt were expensive, and the "three major levies" he was proud of had almost lost the silver accumulated by Zhang Juzheng when he was in power, so that he had to worry about the emptiness of the treasury.
Thinking of this, Wanli couldn't help but let out a long sigh, shook his head and said, "Talents are rare!" Talented people are unruly, it is difficult to have both ability and political integrity, and it is difficult to find a person in the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs...... Although I am thirsty for talent, where can I find this pillar of talent with both ability and political integrity? ……”
Concubine Zheng Guifei was waiting for Wanli's words, and hurriedly said: "That's not necessarily, the concubine recommended that Guo Zhiyuan to the saint before, and he is quite talented, and it is rare to know that he knows the grace of retribution, if the saint is willing to cultivate him, he may not be a pillar of talent in the future......"
When Emperor Wanli heard this, his eyes opened suddenly, a cold light flashed in his eyes, he turned his head vigorously, and said sharply: "Then Guo Zhiyuan is looking for you again?" This ruby fruit tree was given by him? ……”
Zheng Guifei had never seen Emperor Wanli angry with her, and she was frightened, so she quickly knelt on the ground and said in fear: "The saint is angry, the concubine is by no means greedy for the gifts he sent, the concubine just sees that the saint is worried about state affairs every day, and wants to share the worries for the saint, that Guo Zhiyuan is quite capable, and the matter of the previous envoy to Luzon has also been done, so the concubine has the courage to recommend it to the saint, if the saint thinks it is inappropriate, the concubine will immediately destroy the things he sent, and the person he sent is ......."
Emperor Wanli saw Concubine Zheng Guichu's pitiful appearance, and his heart softened a little, and he helped her up, but his tone was still a little stiff, and he said expressionlessly: "Then Guo Zhiyuan sent someone to see what you wanted?" You say it one by one, don't hide half a sentence! ……”
Zheng Guifei was really frightened at this time, and tremblingly said what Shen Yuniang said to her, Emperor Wanli heard that Guo Zhiyuan actually came to the capital, and the cold light in his eyes was even stronger, and he snorted coldly: "This Guo Zhiyuan is so bold!" Dare to leave Fujian and enter Beijing without an edict, it seems that Xu Xueju said that he was bold and reckless, and it was really true! ……”
Emperor Wanli's tone turned out to be like a murderous move against Guo Zhiyuan, which made the already frightened Zheng Guifei feel more and more uneasy, although she couldn't understand why Emperor Wanli's attitude towards Guo Zhiyuan would change so much, the last time she recommended Guo Zhiyuan to Emperor Wanli, Emperor Wanli's impression of Guo Zhiyuan seemed to be good, but at this time she couldn't take care of Guo Zhiyuan, just thinking about how to get rid of herself, don't let Emperor Wanli be angry with herself, and hurriedly said: "Since the saint doesn't like this Guo Zhiyuan, The concubine immediately sent someone to tell him that the saint did not want to see him, and let him go back to Fujian immediately! ……”
Emperor Wanli didn't seem to hear her words, his face was cloudy, as if he was thinking about something, Zheng Guifei didn't dare to say anything, and she didn't dare to stand aside.
Why did Emperor Wanli's attitude towards Guo Zhiyuan suddenly change? I believe readers have guessed that it was Xu Xueju's two letters that played a role! I have to say that Xu Xueju is really old and spicy, and he is very accurate in his thoughts about Emperor Wanli, and what Emperor Wanli cares about most in his life is the stability of his imperial power, so Xu Xueju's impeachment of Guo Zhiyuan's unsubservient heart is exactly what Emperor Wanli's concerns are, if Xu Xueju simply impeached Guo Zhiyuan, it may not have such an effect, Xu Xueju's cleverness lies in the fact that he also wrote a letter asking for credit for Guo Zhiyuan, in this letter asking for merit, Xu Xueju not only did not erase Guo Zhiyuan's credit, but even exaggerated a little, said that Guo Zhiyuan was like a god, and with a wave of his hand, more than 20,000 rebels were wiped out!
He single-handedly put down more than 20,000 rebellions, is this still human? Therefore, the greater Guo Zhiyuan's ability, the more it will make Emperor Wanli jealous, especially Xu Xueju is still making it clear that Guo Zhiyuan colluded with Shen Yourong and Liu Ruosi, two generals, to attack Dongfan privately, and refused to evacuate after defeating the rest of the rebels.
(PS: I kind of found the feeling when I wrote "Superior", I believe that each of my books is a kind of transcendence of myself, "The Ruthless Man of the Ming Dynasty" is my first attempt to write historical themes, my historical skills are not deep, so it is really difficult to write, good books need to be tasted slowly, and the achievement of classics also takes time to accumulate, I hope you can give me more patience and support, so that I can create a classic historical novel!) By the way, I summoned a recommendation ticket, I haven't asked for a recommendation ticket in a long time! )
