Looking at Qian Ning, who was crying silently at the bottom of the steps, Wanli's heart had a hint of enlightenment, Zhu Yidao was right, this person has all the people in his heart, although he has now completely offended his teacher Chen Yubi's side, and he refuses to defect to the side of Zhang Wei, so let him take refuge in me directly! With me as his backing, how do these people want to trouble him? All of them are like monkeys, how can they not understand this general trend.

He motioned to the Wei Dynasty on the side to help Qian Ning up, sighed and said, "I know, you are difficult, but it is also difficult for me, and it is also difficult for the imperial court!" Let's all make it difficult! ”

Everyone fell to their knees.

"There is also that Li Hualong, who has the talent to help the people in the world, the inspector still needs to be the inspector, and the one who should be instructed still needs to be instructed! With him, there will be a lot of detours. Do whatever you want......" As he spoke, he walked towards the depths of the hall alone, ignoring the kneeling crowds in the hall.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Then the people cried out to the mountain.

Zhu Yidao tossed the sandalwood from the huge copper incense burner, and took out a small copper kettle with a heavy handkerchief, added a few pieces of sandalwood, and covered the incense burner lid, then carried the copper kettle and poured a cup of warm water in the purple sand cup, and then walked to Wanli with the purple sand cup: "Your Majesty, please use it slowly." "But I was cursing in my heart, this work was clearly done by the dead eunuchs, what does Wanli mean by letting himself do it? Could it be that he was going to be castrated as a eunuch? He shuddered unconsciously.

"Haven't you served anyone before? It's hard for you, look at this purple sand cup, the normal pouring method is seven points enough, but you poured a full cup...... Hey, this person, you still have to exercise more! Wanli took a sip lightly, put the purple sand cup on the table, and looked at Lao Zhu with a smile.

Lao Zhu's face was suffocated, and he could exercise anything, but eunuchs couldn't exercise! Once it's broken, it's gone!

"What kind of immortal did you say this Qian Ning was, and he actually bypassed us. What's in it for himself? I also saw that Chen Yubi thought that he was going to hand over the confession to Zhang Wei, but Zhang Wei thought that the confession had already arrived in Zhao Zhigao's hands, but in the end, he didn't give anyone to me, but gave it to me. This trick is clever! It is equivalent to telling everyone that his backstage and background is me! No one dared to pick on his thorn anymore and give him eye medicine......" Looking at Zhu Yidao's embarrassed face, Wanli chuckled and changed the subject.

"No one can wrap the emperor in. Channing was caught in the middle, in a dilemma. He is like a daughter-in-law, who has to honor his in-laws at the top, comfort the children at the bottom, and serve her husband in the middle! The hard days are yet to come! Lord Shoufu Zhao will definitely not recognize him, and with his character, he will not go to Zhang Wei and others. Zhejiang can't be chaotic, and the change from rice to mulberry must be carried out. If the two ends do not buy his account, they will not die of exhaustion, but they will die of sorrow. If the constraints are too much, I'm afraid he won't be able to control Zhejiang......" Thinking of Qian Ning's current situation, Lao Zhu couldn't help but sigh. Being an official naturally has rules for being an official, but the actual thing still has to be done, if you want to be in it, but also do something, it is really not an easy thing! I only now found out that being in the officialdom and wanting to do something practical for the people actually involved the interests of countless people and factions up and down the court! How can this go on?

Wanli's eyes lit up. These words are almost exactly the same as what Wang An, the eunuch who held the seal of the previous celebrant and eunuch, said. I really didn't see it, this simple-minded Zhu Yidao could also think of this layer. If you can leave it to your son......

Lao Zhu also suddenly reacted, how could he say this in front of the emperor, the second taboo thing for Jinyiwei is to talk about the government. How can the government have a celebrant and a cabinet, and a thousand households talk about it, and if they talk too much, they will lose! A cold sweat broke out on his head.

"Well said, keep talking! I am not a mediocre king, nor am I intolerant of people, the things in this world are bad because you have me and I have you, and the same is true for changing rice to mulberry. Channing is very bitter! Wanli didn't express any dissatisfaction, but frowned more and more, "The imperial court can't be without the southeast for a day, and the southeast can't be without Qian Ning for a day." Only he can control Zhejiang, and he also has this qualification. It is up to him to change rice to mulberry, it is also up to him to pacify the people, and in the end, the sale of silk still depends on him. He can't die of exhaustion, let alone be worried to death, there is no silver in the treasury, so he still has to let Zhao Zhigao Chen Yubi of the cabinet find a way, eight points to the treasury and two points to them, I also admit it; Seven points to the treasury and three points to them, I also endured it! But if they still want to make more money, even Qian Ning can't tolerate it, and if they force Zhejiang, I can't tolerate them anymore! ”

"What is all for the sake of national policy, in order to change rice to mulberry? The slogan is loud and loud, look at what they have done? Really, I am deaf and blind? The world is mine, and so is the silver under heaven! They took money out of my pocket to spend, and I should thank them? Li Hualong, who was sent by Zhang Wei to Qian Ning's side, wants to protect them, watch them! But there are still fewer people...... Come! Secretly sent a message to Zhang Wei, Shen has always recommended anyone to go to Zhejiang, and they will all be dressed in red! As he spoke, Wanli's eyebrows became more and more violent.

Without hesitation, a pack of wolves replied in a loud voice: "Yes! Emperor! ”

"Also, you go and tell * that the palace is not allowed to embarrass Qian Ning again! He is a smart man and knows what to do! As if remembering something, Wanli suddenly shouted out to the wolves who were walking out.

"The emperor can rest assured, his subordinates understand!"

"The cabinet meeting is over?" Seeing Zhang Wei walk in, Shen Yiyi, Gao Qihua, and Li Hualong all stood up.

"Everything is already a foregone conclusion before the Emperor, and the result of this meeting is the same as that of non-discussion." Zhang Wei's face was very ugly, and he sat heavily on the chair.

The three of them couldn't help but look at each other. Still nothing can be changed.

After a while, Shen Yi Yi spoke: "My lord, then Qian Ning should agree to him when he asks the imperial court to transfer grain for disaster relief in Zhejiang, right?" ”

Zhang Wei shook his head helplessly.

"There has to be a point, right?" As soon as he heard that things had become like this, Li Hualong couldn't sit still, and his voice couldn't help but bring some anger! Changing rice to mulberry was proposed by the emperor himself, and now that there is a disaster in Zhejiang, how can the imperial court sit idly by? If you want the horses to run and don't give the horses grazing, how can there be such a thing in the world?

"What else do you need? It is to let those big silk households in Zhejiang take grain on the spot to annex the land of the common people, and it is also known as 'to reform and revitalize, and solve the dilemma!' This is all a trivial matter, the big silk families below want to annex the land, and they want to use this incident to completely defeat the Zhejiang Party! In order to lay out the fighting method, what is the fate of the common people? Gao Qihua couldn't help but shoot the case!

"So what is Channing doing now?" Shen Yi seemed to remember something, and quickly asked.

"Qian Ning didn't give up, and followed Zhao Zhigao and Chen Yubi to the Yamen of the Household Department, wanting our Household Department to transfer some food to him." Zhang Wei lowered his head and stared expressionlessly at the ant under his feet who was wandering around looking for a way to walk, "It's really not good, let's just transfer some food for him!" ”

Shen always looked at him deeply, and walked a few steps to him.

Zhang Wei seemed to think of something again, and smiled self-deprecatingly: "How can our household department transfer food to him at this time?" ”

Shen Yi said: "My lord, if you say something you don't necessarily like to hear, even if you can tune it, we won't tune it for him!" ”

Zhang Wei was stunned: "This is ...... How so? ”

"Simply, let Zhejiang mess up! Isn't that what they want to see the most?! Shen Yi took a step closer, stared into his eyes without scruples, and said word by word.

Zhang Wei's eyes widened! Is Shen always crazy, knowing that Zhejiang can't be chaotic, why did he say that he would let Zhejiang be chaotic? Isn't that exactly what they're doing?

"At this time, the subordinates should also explain their meaning to the adults. Zhao Zhigao has been in charge of government for several years, but everyone can see that he has no interest in political affairs at all! Most of the time, he was controlled by Chen Yubi, but after all, he was only a secondary assistant and not a first assistant, in order to be able to keep his current position and be able to further make another offering, he even did not hesitate to watch the corruption below! He is also a Jinshi after all, but he completely ignores the safety of my Daming! The demand in the palace is insatiable, and the following curves are welcomed, and layers of exploitation are being exploited, so that such a big deficit has fallen. Shen Yi raised his voice and walked closer and closer to Zhang Wei, "My lord knew that this change of rice to mulberry was originally a holy will, and the original intention was to enrich the national treasury, but in order to make up for the shortfall, they wanted to use the national policy to exploit loopholes. But such a big thing, even Qian Ning knew that it must not be implemented within a year, but they couldn't wait, and the people below still wanted to use this national policy to make a fortune in the country, so they did such a hurtful deed as destroying the embankment and flooding the fields! Strip the flesh of the common people and mend their sores! ”

"Such an obvious thing, the whole court actually turned a blind eye, and finally a Qian Ning could come out and shout, and he only had the right to shout. But he is also for their good, but they can't tolerate anything! This is also Zhao Zhigao's exhaustion, my lord, long pain is better than short pain, this time it will simply make Zhejiang mess up! Just when my Ming Dynasty has a rotten piece of meat on his body, this piece of meat is rotten, and it is time for Chen Yubi and their abscesses to be squeezed! ”

These words are really deafening! Zhang Wei stood there stunned, his face turning from blue to purple, from purple to flush, and then to pale. Standing there in a daze, he said after a while: "You guys...... Is that what you all mean? ”

"This is the unanimous opinion of the subordinates!" Shen looked at the others confidently.

"Li Hualong, what do you think?" Zhang Wei still couldn't decide, and asked Li Hualong, who had been an inspector in Zhejiang, again.

"My lord, this is the great strategy! At this point, there is no better choice, the flood has happened, and the people of Zhejiang have begun to suffer...... The arrow is on the bow, I have to send it! If they don't get rid of this abscess, there will be the next time they destroy the embankment and flood the fields! Li Hualong's voice was a little hoarse. He was at the scene at the time of the flood relief, and he saw the natural disasters caused by human disasters to the people below, and his heart was extremely uncomfortable. This matter is powerless to stop itself, but if those people can be sent to prison forever through the man-made disasters caused by this natural disaster, then the people's suffering is worth it, and their death is also worth it!

"Sure enough, it's a good plan! * Those people are ruthless, and your hearts are even more ruthless! The people of Zhejiang have spread to officials like you, which is really a blessing they have cultivated for hundreds of lifetimes! Zhu Yidao walked in with a sneer, slapping his face as he walked.

"Zhu Qianhu...... How did you get in? "Shen has always been a little surprised, I didn't see the report from the porter!

"I didn't let the porter in, otherwise how would I have heard your plan?" Lao Zhu pulled a chair and sat down for a long time, not caring about the owner of the house, and the cabinet member's face had changed.

"Ben Qianhu remembers that you only have one son, right?" Hearing Lao Zhu call himself a thousand households, Zhang Wei suddenly reacted, this person can't afford to offend, he is too special. Behind him stood an unfathomable Wanli, and at some times, Lao Zhu was the emperor's spokesperson.

"So what?" Even so, Zhang Wei did not hide the disdain on his face at all, no matter how favored he was, he was just a brocade guard! Even if he wants to do politics, he has to consider whether the emperor will let him do this!

"If you are the emperor, do you want to leave a world that wins the hearts of the people for your children and grandchildren? It is true that changing rice to mulberry is not something that can be done well in a while, but if it is to change rice to mulberry, it will make the Ming Dynasty lose the hearts of the people in the world, and the emperor may spare you? ! Zhu Yidao talked eloquently to everyone, and for a while, everyone's faces were a little embarrassed, he was not as good as a martial artist, it was really embarrassing! But more, he was frightened by Lao Zhu's intimidation - if he made it clear to the emperor, would there be a way out for his own people?

"Watching the people of the world suffer, but you parents and officials stand by and watch? Even a political envoy from Zhejiang Province in Qianning District still knows how to take care of the subjects of his own land, you are a dignified cabinet member of the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Wei, Shen Yiyi, Gao Qihua, and you Li Hualong, isn't he even as good as him?! What the emperor means, Lord Zhang, you should know better than me! Lao Zhu stared at Zhang Wei with blazing eyes, as if to remind him not to forget the emperor's attitude during the discussion.

Listening to Zhu Yidao's naked threat, looking at his underwhelming face, and thinking about the emperor's surprising attitude towards Qian Ning during the discussion, Zhang Wei immediately realized where he was wrong! The emperor is obviously protecting Qian Ning, and at the same time praising his stable and overriding attitude, if he desperately attacks Chen Yubi and them at this time, it will definitely cause the emperor to be extremely dissatisfied. At that time, the day Chen Yubi fell was the day Zhang Wei and others were exiled or deposed!

Shen always looked at Zhu Yidao with his mouth open, he never thought that a thousand households could actually see farther and understand more deeply than them! He was suddenly a little ashamed, he finally entered the imperial court after ten years of cold window, and walked to today's position step by step, but he completely forgot the ambition when he entered the examination room: people live in the world, although they may not make much achievement, but they must also learn literature and martial arts, sell goods to the emperor's family, even if they can't be famous for centuries, but at least they must leave a name in history. But now, I seem to be moving away from that dream step by step, ashamed, ashamed!

"The Ming Dynasty is not their Ming Dynasty," Lao Zhu said with satisfaction looking at everyone's expressions, "It's not your Ming Dynasty either!" It's the emperor's! They are eating and drinking people, Lord Zhang, this seems to be your chance to make a name in history, right? ”

This last sentence completely moved Zhang Wei and subverted his idea of being lobbied by Shen just now. yes, isn't that what I've been pursuing all my life? How could you get lost at this time?

"Heaven and earth have righteousness!" Gao Qihua looked at Zhu Yidao deeply, and finally opened his mouth, "I'm ashamed to let Zhu Qianhu smile!" Although the overall situation of Zhejiang is irreparable, for those people who have been affected by the disaster, we should really fight for one point and the people's hearts and minds...... Don't miss it! ”

Li Hualong finally reacted at this time, what did Zhu Yidao want them to do, and he was a little panicked when he woke up. This Zhu Yidao, who speaks so badly, isn't he afraid of offending Zhang Wei and making him feel bad in the future? But he remembered Wanli who only Zhu Yidao could often see, and Wanli's silent and supportive attitude towards Lao Zhu, and finally sobered up like a thunderbolt in his heart: he represents the emperor, maybe what he means is what the emperor means! Why are you so stupid?

Zhang Wei turned to him at this time and said to him solemnly: "You have been in Zhejiang for some days, think about it, how can you help Qian Ning and make the people affected by the disaster suffer less?" ”

Li Hualong looked at everyone, then at Lao Zhu, and shook his head slightly: "There is only one thing I can help, try my best to make the government and those big silk households not take advantage of the disaster to buy the people's fields." But it will require food to get them through the disaster year. When his subordinates came to Beijing, he discussed with Qian Ning, and in case the imperial court could not transfer grain, his subordinates would accompany him to Jiangsu to find Governor Zhao Yuanchao to borrow grain. ”

"It's a workable idea." Zhang Wei touched his beard and nodded thoughtfully, "Zhao Yuanchao and Qian Ning were both Jinshi at the beginning, and they have always cherished each other, so it should be no problem to borrow some food from him." ”

However, Li Hualong still shook his head and sighed: "But even borrowing some grain may not be able to prevent those people from annexing the land, don't forget, Qian Ning is no longer the governor of Zhejiang, and he has broken with Chen Yubi and them, he is already alone in Zhejiang." It is difficult to say whether He Jinxian will not buy his account according to the inspector. If the new prefect of Hangzhou and the prefect of Chun'an Jiande are still their people, they will not be able to reach the hands of the people if they have food. ”

"It's up to you to figure out these things, this thousand households will go first and say goodbye!" Seeing that they were already thinking about these issues, Lao Zhu knew that he didn't need to stay here any longer, so he got up and left.

The crowd looked at each other again.
