Wanli slammed up from the recliner!

So far, only two people have told him about it, one is Zhu Yidao's wife Shen Hui who doesn't know his actual identity, and the other is Wang An, the chief of the inner chamberlain who is kneeling in front of him, loyal and willing to risk death as soon as he returns. I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect that even Jinyiwei was colluded by them to deceive me together! They actually dare to do this kind of deceptive crime, and they are extremely skilled in doing it, it seems that it has not been once or twice!

He suppressed the anger in his heart and said to Wang An: "You give Zhu Yidao an order now, let him return to Beijing immediately, and take all the Jingshi Guards to the three southwestern provinces!" Zhejiang's affairs, it is enough to have Shen Yun and Jiang Fei! I must know what the situation is in the three southwestern provinces now! Also, from now on, you will be the second eunuch of the celebrant eunuch! I'm optimistic about the East Factory! In addition, let Zhao Zhigao come to Yuxi Palace now! ”

"Long live the master, Lord Shengming!" The big stone at the bottom of Wang An'an finally fell to the ground, and when he stood up and walked out, he was a little staggered because he had been kowtowing for a long time and was a little old.

"Wang An!" Behind him came Wanli's shout again.

"Master, please command." Wang An slowly turned around and replied respectfully.

"Slow down!"

Zhao Zhigao is really old, not long after standing there, on a cold day, his legs actually trembled slightly, and the Wanli in his eyes was also a little blurred. The emperor called himself to come to the palace so late, could it be that something happened somewhere? For a long time, Wanli hadn't summoned his courtiers in such a hurry, but Zhao Zhigao's heart didn't dare to relax in the slightest, he knew that the eyes behind him were always staring at him.

"The year before last, the Beijing earthquake and the drought in Henan and Shandong last year, fortunately survived, and this year the Xin'an River in Zhejiang has another big flood, I asked you to ask Qin Tianjian, what did Qin Tianjian say?" Wanli's voice was also a little flickering in Zhao Zhigao's ears, if there was nothing. What really made him feel a little uneasy was that he came to the palace, Wanli had always been given to sit, but tonight I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, and he was always allowed to stand. The perceptive Zhao Zhigao smelled a hint of danger. His own saints have declined.

"Back to the emperor, the minister didn't ask." The key is to figure out what the emperor means, he replied with an effort to steady his voice.

"Why don't you ask?" Wanli, who was sitting behind the big case, looked unusually majestic tonight, and even Zhao Zhigao himself was a little confused, his face looked even more blurred under the reflection of the candlelight. But he understands one thing, the emperor is changing day by day, and he is no longer the playful little emperor who only knows the harem of games.

"The celestial phenomena are not the courtiers can be discussed, the emperor is the son of heaven, it is a matter of celestial phenomena, only the emperor can summon the Qin Tianjian to ask in person. The ministers did not dare to know the heavenly opportunity. Zhao Zhigao still replied steadily. Wanli himself knows that the biggest characteristic of this person is that he is more than safe, and he is not strong enough, and he has both advantages and disadvantages in the cabinet, and he is also recognized as a good man among the courtiers, and no one is willing to offend him.

"What do you mean, the earthquake the year before last, the drought last year, and the flood this year are all the causes of me?" Wanli's voice was not much higher, but the meaning of these words made Zhao Zhigao, who was still a little drowsy, wake up suddenly!

He gently picked up the hem of his official uniform and knelt down: "Shangshu has clouds, three years of abundance, three years of apology, six years of a small disaster, and twelve years of a major disaster. The celestial phenomena were like this in the time of Yaoshun, storing grain in a good year to prepare for famine, and providing relief to the victims in a bad year, all of which were the responsibilities of the ministers. The emperor has a good saying, how difficult it is to prosper the country, only in the face of these disasters, can we see the emperor's sage, the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty! ”

Seeing that he was still kneeling there at such an age, his body was trembling slightly, but he still maintained his prestige and sage in his answer, and did not leave himself and Daming in a word, Wanli's heart also softened a little, and then remembered that for such a long time, he was at the forefront, so that he would suffer less I don't know how much scolding, even if there was no merit, there was still hard work, so he fell silent and glanced at Wang An on the side.

"Lord Zhao, the emperor didn't let you kneel, you're all seventy or eighty people, get up and talk back!" Wang An's comprehension of the holy will has reached a peak point, and he can immediately guess the meaning of Wanli, how can this skill be learned by those little eunuchs? So saying, I went to help him. Zhao Zhigao stood up with Wang An's help.

* The hand pulled a low pier from the side: "Lord Zhao, the emperor gave you a seat!" ”

Zhao Zhigao suddenly burst into tears and said, "How many ...... Thank you for the emperor's understanding of His Majesty...... "With Wang An's support, he sat down again.

Whether he was really moved by the old tears, Wanli didn't know, but he didn't plan to go around in circles with him anymore, and said directly: "You just said that there is a famine in a good year and a disaster relief in a famine year, what happened to the two flooded counties in Zhejiang?" ”

"In accordance with the strategy of reform and revitalization, we are implementing the national policy of changing rice to mulberry while providing relief to the victims." Although Zhao Zhigao answered with a glance, his heart trembled suddenly. Why did the emperor suddenly ask about Zhejiang's national policy? Could it be that something has changed over there?

Wanli couldn't see any expression on his face: "Go back and ask Chen Yubi how things are going in Zhejiang, and talk back to me again!" Zhejiang must be stable, the change of rice to mulberry must be carried out, and the people must also be appeased! I don't want to see my Ming subjects displaced because of the implementation of the national policy! ”

Zhao Zhigao was even more drumming in his heart when he heard this. The emperor has never said such a thing, and today he suddenly said this to himself, didn't he already hear something? When I went back, I really asked Chen Yubi, things can't be messed up, it's really unreliable to just count on He Jinxian.

With Wang An's support, Zhao Zhigao left Yuxi Palace step by step, Wanli looked at his back as he left, and a trace of confusion suddenly appeared in his eyes.

"Zhao Zhigao is already old, and he can't control the people below!" When Wang An turned back, Wanli said with a gloomy face. He also knows in his heart that Zhao Zhigao plays more of a role in the court, this old guy actually sees it very thoroughly, but because he sees it too thoroughly, he would rather choose Mingzhe to protect himself in many things, but he should also know that since he is sitting in this position of the first assistant, it means that something happens to the people below, and he can't escape responsibility, at least it is a responsibility for negligence.

"Some things are really difficult for him...... Wang An sighed softly and stopped his mouth in time. As the chief of the emperor's chamberlain, and an old man who has served the emperor for many years, he knows too well what to say and what not to say.

"Let's see what he says tomorrow! Chen Yubi has been a cabinet member for so long, and it is not normal to have no ideas in his heart! If it was his idea to buy land in the name of the Weaving Bureau, then Zhao Zhigao would come tomorrow to ask for guilt. Wanli stood up and paced back and forth in the main hall.

The slave thought too. As soon as Zhao Zhigao pleaded guilty, he immediately sent a report to the provinces and informed them. Wang An replied lightly.

"And the slaves and maids of the celebrant are not as sensible as before! You went to the celebrant and took good care of those people! Wanli became angry again as he spoke, and pointed at Wang Andao, "You promised me before, * you will definitely find a way to remove the lantern of the Weaving Bureau." Although the lantern has been removed, the reputation of the palace has been ruined! How to find a way to redeem it? Go and tell the slave that if he ruins my reputation, he will hang his head on the grain ship!" ”

"The slave will send someone to tell him now!" Wang An hurriedly knelt on the ground again. He also knew that * was the godson of the Wei Dynasty, but at this time, it was absolutely unforgivable to let his godson spoil his own affairs! * No matter how ignorant he is, Wei Chao understands much better than him, if he can't save the reputation of the palace, then the unlucky one will be the entire celebrant eunuch!

"Let Zhu Yidao go!" Wanli thought for a while, then turned around and said, "On the surface, let him withdraw with everyone, secretly change into civilian clothes, and let Shen Yun and Jiang Fei take Zhejiang's Jinyi Wei to lurk again and watch for me in Zhejiang!" This time, it seems that a few people will be arrested! ”

"The slave understands." Wang An replied respectfully.

Before returning to Zhejiang, Lao Zhu went back to the Beijing Guard. But as soon as he arrived, the people sent by Wang An, the celebrant and the wolf guards in the palace, all went to the Jingshi Guard to deliver the decree. It's just that Wang An passed on a clear will, but the wolf guards passed on a secret will. Knowing that Wang An returned to the emperor's side and regained his favor, this time it was the time to pass the decree to Lao Zhu, and the excitement in Wang Shi's heart can be imagined. Seeing that two years have passed, the godfather has actually regained his former glory, what could be more exciting than this? He trembled and took the secret letter brought to him by Wang An, trembling his hands, and cried on the ground: "Godfather...... Godfather! Son...... My son will never forget your kindness, and he will never repay your kindness......"

Looking at Wang Shi, who was crying bitterly, Zhu Yidao's heart was also very emotional. As a human being, you have to leave a way out for yourself at all times, because you don't know when you will use it. Wang An is not a good person, but he is definitely a good slave, and it is this kind of loyal good slave that Wanli needs, and Lao Zhu also needs this kind of person. Clothes are always old and close-fitting, and people are always old with peace of mind, which is not false at all.

Let him go to the southwest secretly, Lao Zhu guessed this, but it was unexpected for Shen Yun and Jiang Fei to continue to squat in Zhejiang with Jinyi Wei and Zhejiang Wei. The emperor is planning to do something to Zhejiang, just wait for the rice to be changed to Sangyi, and just find a reason to get rid of He Jinxian! However, it was a little puzzling for him to warn* and eliminate as soon as possible the bad influence of the Weaving Bureau's sale of grain and land. It's not time to make a big deal in front of you, what is the emperor going to do?
