Chapter 311: The Dragon Returns to the Sea
Chen Ju chuckled in his heart, with his understanding of Emperor Wanli, he knew that Emperor Wanli really killed Guo Zhiyuan, but he couldn't protect Guo Zhiyuan anymore, Shen's accusations against Guo Zhiyuan were indeed too serious, if he returned to protect Guo Zhiyuan, it would affect Emperor Wanli's trust in him, so he didn't say anything, and bowed respectfully to Emperor Wanli and said, "The old slave obeys the order!" ……”
The efficiency of the East Factory is indeed very high, an hour later Chen Ju came back to resume his life, Guo Zhiyuan has left the capital, Chen Ju naturally can't bring him back, Emperor Wanli saw that Chen Ju came back alone, the cold light in his eyes was even stronger, and he said coldly: "Factory minister, where is Guo Zhiyuan?!" ……”
Chen Ju could only tell the truth, and said stubbornly: "When the old slave led people to Guo's mansion, Guo Zhiyuan had already left the capital and returned to Dongfan to take office!" ……”
When Shen Yi heard this, he immediately shouted excitedly: "Holy Lord, the old minister is right! That Guo Zhiyuan is obviously a thief, so he left the capital in such a hurry! The old minister asked the saint to immediately send Jinyi Wei to chase after him, and he must arrest Guo Zhiyuan back! ……”
Emperor Wanli has already killed Guo Zhiyuan, and said this to Shen Zheng, the killing machine is even stronger, and he raised his hand and was about to issue an order to arrest Guo Zhiyuan, but Chen Ju suddenly said: "Guo Zhiyuan seems to know that the Holy Lord will summon him, and when he leaves, he left a letter for the old slave to forward to the Holy Lord, and the Holy One wants to read it himself?" ......" said and took out a written letter from his sleeve and prepared to present it to Emperor Wanli.
"Don't look! Is he showing me that he is acting like a god? If he doesn't dare to come to see me, he is a thief with a weak heart and a bad heart! ......" Emperor Wanli was angry, waving his hand angrily.
Chen Ju was able to win the favor of Emperor Wanli, because he knew that he should give Emperor Wanli some advice in a timely manner, so as not to make a wrong decision to Emperor Wanli, plus he himself had a good impression of Guo Zhiyuan, and he didn't mind helping Guo Zhiyuan talk without affecting Emperor Wanli's trust in him, so he said cautiously: "Shengshang, Guo Zhiyuan has merit to the state, and the imperial court is the time to employ people, so Shengshang might as well give him another chance to listen to what he has to say, maybe he does have a last resort?" ……”
Emperor Wanli glanced at Chen Ju, as his most trusted confidant eunuch, Chen Ju still had a certain amount of weight in his heart, so he waved his hand casually and said: "Then you can read it directly, I see what else he has to say?!" ……”
"The old slave obeys!" Chen Ju respectfully bowed to Wanli first, and then opened the book written by Guo Zhiyuan and believed: "Shengshang Rongyu, when Wechen attacked Dongfan, the rest of the rebels could not hold out, so that Wechen's siege soldiers suffered heavy casualties, Wechen thought, if the soldiers under Wechen can fly over the city wall, how good it would be, at this time, Wechen had a whim, thinking of the Kong Ming lantern that Wechen played with when he was a child, and Weichen thought that if he could invent a Kong Ming lantern that can carry people to fly, wouldn't it be equivalent to inventing a siege weapon?" After many experiments, Wechen finally invented this thing, Wechen is very excited, can have this siege weapon, my Ming Xiongshi is not invincible in the world, and there is no city that can stop my Daming Xiongshi? Wechen is ready to dedicate this thing to the saint, but there are still some imperfections in this thing, and it must be used through practice. ……”
"It is after this practice, Weichen found that Weichen is too whimsical, Weichen found that Weichen invented this can carry people to fly Kong Ming lantern has a fatal wound, that is, the speed is too slow, if this is to attack the city, the enemy only needs to fire ten thousand arrows, the soldiers above are equivalent to become the enemy's live target, so this thing is a bit of a chicken rib, if just to do a plaything may be a novelty, but if it is used in the military, it is a mistake! ……”
"Wechen knows that Wechen was too ostentatious last night, and he will be criticized, and he will be impeached, saying that Wechen has a heart of disobedience, but Wechen is not worried, Wechen has already dissected his heart to the saint, and with the saint's sage, he will not believe the slander! Through this matter, Wechen also deeply reflected on himself, Wechen has been obsessed with strange tricks, so instead of wasting the business, this incident made Wechen see his own shortcomings, and at the same time Wechen also felt afraid, if Wechen is just to blindly invite favor, without practice to dedicate this thing to the saint, Wechen has not become a criminal minister who has misled the country?! Therefore, Wechen also came to a reason, loyalty and patriotism are not on words, but on actions to prove, so Wechen decided to return to Dongfan immediately, develop Dongfan as soon as possible, and share worries for the saint and the court......"
Emperor Wanli listened to Chen Ju read Guo Zhiyuan's letter, his face was cloudy, it should be said that Guo Zhiyuan's letter still dispelled some of his concerns, at least the reasons why Shen had always attacked Guo Zhiyuan just now were not valid, but Guo Zhiyuan's resignation somewhat aggravated his suspicion of Guo Zhiyuan, so it was difficult to decide whether to believe Guo Zhiyuan for a while.
Shen Zheng finally caught such an opportunity to put Guo Zhiyuan to death, so he naturally didn't want to let it go, and immediately said urgently: "The saint has to listen to Guo Zhiyuan's quibbles, he has always been clever and eloquent, but he can't hide his wolf ambitions, if the saint lets him go, it will be a tiger to return to the mountain, a dragon to the sea, and there will be endless troubles!" ……”
Chen Ju and Shen Ju are the eunuchs of the ceremonial supervisor and the eunuch of Bingbi and the other are the first assistants, both of whom are at the top of the power pyramid, and it is inevitable that there will be contradictions and conflicts, but Chen Ju does not like to take power, so he can still maintain the surface of harmony, at this time, seeing that Shen Zheng is holding Guo Zhiyuan tightly, he is also a little uncomfortable, and suddenly interjected coldly: "Shen Xiang's words are a little inappropriate, only the saint in this world is the true dragon emperor, then Guo Zhiyuan is just a mere five-grade prefect, but Shen Xiang uses it." Dragon returns to the sea' to describe him, it is rare for Shen Xiang to think that this Guo Zhiyuan can already be compared with the saint? ……”
Shen has always been too eager to put Guo Zhiyuan to death, and he is a little unscrupulous, but now that Chen Ju caught his speech disease, he was suddenly frightened into a cold sweat, and he didn't care about attacking Guo Zhiyuan, so he quickly knelt on the ground, and apologized in a panic: "The old minister doesn't choose his words, please forgive the saint!" ……”
Emperor Wanli was actually not very satisfied with Shen Zhiyuan's first assistant, but there was really no one available at hand, so he let Shen always serve as the first assistant, seeing Shen Zheng's embarrassed appearance, his heart became more and more disliked, in contrast, he felt that Guo Zhiyuan's talent was indeed rare, so he cherished his talent, and didn't want to go deeper, waved his hand and said: "There is a sentence in Guo Zhiyuan's letter that is good, loyalty and patriotism are not on the lips, but on the proof of action, then I will take a look at it, Who is truly loyal to me? ……”
