Looking at the back of Shen Cheng and the others leaving, Shen Li's eyes were sad and lost that could not be concealed, he never thought that he had been up and down in the officialdom all his life, but he had encountered such a thing in the position of an auxiliary minister in the cabinet, how ridiculous!

At present, he has been completely squeezed out by Shen Zheng, Xu Zuo is the right capital of the Imperial History of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate is the base camp, but as a cabinet minister, if he does not have the support of the six ministries, where does the power come from?

Isn't it the next Zhao Zhigao?

But what else can be done?

Shen Li no longer has any choice.

In the palace, Zhu Yijun has been looking forward to Shen Yiyi's arrival for a long time, and he has already written the instructions and stamped the seal of the note about Jingcha.

This recital really had too much to expect from him.

Shen has always been the deputy assistant of the cabinet, and he is also the candidate for the first assistant of the cabinet that he is optimistic about, and he actually took the initiative to hand him an olive branch, and asked himself to help in dealing with the issue of Jin merchants, although Zhu Yijun had already known and secretly arranged at this time, but he had not received an olive branch from the cabinet for a long time.

Compared with Shen Li, who disappointed Zhu Yijun, this Shen who was evaluated by Zhao Zhigao as having a bad heart is the person Zhu Yijun needs.

Political struggles have had their ups and downs, and the participants are no longer simply upright and villainous.

People in the game can only be distinguished in another way, that is, they can be used and must be hostile, Zhu Yijun doesn't care whether Shen has a bad mind or not, at least Shen has always been able to use it, but that "upright gentleman" Shen Li can't be used by him.

That's fine, Shen has always been selected, Shen Li has lost power, this is the best ending.

Shen has always lived up to his expectations, keenly captured the message of peace from the emperor, and quickly signed an offensive and defensive alliance with the emperor.

He said that he was willing to join forces with the emperor to suppress those shameless moral masters, hoping to get the emperor's trust and help, willing to compromise with the emperor in some matters, willing to rely on the emperor to face the ministers, and so on.

This time, the emperor was invited to participate in the overthrow of the Jin merchants, and everyone shared the spoils together.

Zhu Yijun was very happy, and immediately promised to join forces with Shen Yiyi, and decided to look at Shen Yiyi's performance and operation this time and decide whether to hand over the position of the first assistant to Shen Yiyi in advance.

Of course, Shen always understood what the emperor meant, not only for the title of first assistant, but also for his own power and ambitions, Shen always needed to overturn the Jin system, train his own team in this political struggle, and lay a good foundation for the establishment of Shen Yiyi's cabinet.

The two hit it off.

So Shen consistently asked to see him, and Zhu Yijun immediately announced the meeting.

This is also the appearance of Yu Jideng and Cai Guozhen seeing the emperor again after I don't know how long, and they are still quite excited.

"Zhuqing, what's wrong? Asking to see me together, isn't something big happening? ”

Zhu Yijun felt that he had to do enough to do the play, and he couldn't show that this was a play, so his attitude was still as weird as ever.

Then Shen Yiyi presented the military report to Zhu Yijun.

"Your Majesty, the minister has a copy of the recital for your Majesty to read."

The castrated version of the information provided by Xiao Ruxun, Zhu Yijun already has a more complete and complete version in his hands, and he has also seen this castrated version, but for now, he still has to act.

Zhu Yijun was very skillful in letting the ministers see what the wrath of thunder was.

After a while, the things on Zhu Yijun's table were basically wiped out, either shattered to the ground or thrown out, and I don't know if it hit some unlucky little chamberlain.

"Your Majesty, please calm the wrath of thunder!"

When Zhu Yijun was almost done, Shen Cheng immediately followed up and played Zhu Yijun.

"Your Majesty, please calm the wrath of thunder!"

The ministers also immediately followed, no matter whether the emperor was acting or not, everyone had to play for the emperor, and the emperor could not be embarrassed.

"These bastard things, these bastard things, is this how they repay the favor of the country?! One or two businessmen, for the sake of some money, actually dared to put in 100,000 northern captives to wreak havoc on the country! Is this world my world or the world of these merchants?! ”

Zhu Yijun is not only acting but also expressing his true emotions in his heart, so his acting is quite realistic, and there are almost no traces of acting, a proper actor-level performance.

Shen Yi immediately straightened up and said to Zhu Yijun: "What Your Majesty said, the minister thinks it is true, the merchants of Jindi have repeatedly done things that hurt the heavens and reason, and they have turned a blind eye to the ban on trade with the northern captives of the imperial court, and smuggling has become a common practice, so as to make huge profits, and no one has known about it for decades, and it has been hidden from the entire imperial court, and someone must cover it up!" ”

Zhu Yijun gasped and asked, "Who is it?" ”

"It's still unclear, so the old minister asks His Majesty's quasi-ministers and others to take the opportunity of Jingcha to thoroughly investigate this matter, and the old minister and others will find out for Your Majesty who is covering up these ugly things, and once it is found, report it to Your Majesty immediately, and will not tolerate these people, and investigate to the end!"

Zhu Yijun pointed at Shen Yi and nodded.

"Exactly! You're allowed to check it out! Elder Shen Ge, this matter is fully entrusted to you to investigate! If you find one, you will do one, and if you find one, you will do one! If a criminal is found, the sin is complicit! Immediately go to prison and be severely interrogated! Song Yingchang! Cai Guozhen! ”

Song Yingchang and Cai Guozhen promised together: "The old minister is here!" ”

"Cai Guozhen, you are the secretary of the ministry, Song Yingchang, you are the secretary of the criminal department, I ordered you two to be Shen Ge's assistants, and assist Shen Ge Lao in a thorough investigation of this matter! No one should be spared! Otherwise, I'm the only one who asks! ”

"The old minister obeys!"

Song Yingchang and Cai Guozhen took over this mission.

Zhu Yijun immediately sent someone to get the previous copy of Jingcha's recital, took a zhu pen and pretended to write it in front of these ministers, and then handed it to Shen Yiyi.

"Elder Shen Ge, this matter will be handed over to you, don't let me down."

Zhu Yijun stared at Shen Yijun.

This is not acting, this is the emperor's investigation of Shen Zheng, this is the emperor's review of Shen Zhengyi!

This is Shen's usual first assistant promotion exam.

Shen Cheng bowed his head and took the fold with both hands.

"The old minister will live up to His Majesty's expectations!"

Shen has always made his own statement.

As a result, a great storm that swept through the entire twenty-sixth year of Wanli began to brew rapidly.

Clouds that could not be seen by ordinary people gradually gathered in the sky above the Jingshi, and a terrible storm was brewing in the clouds.

At the same time, the sky over the city of Bago in Myanmar was similarly cloudy.

On this day, as soon as the gate of Bago was opened, a knight rushed into the city as fast as he could, until he reached the Zhennan Hou Mansion, and handed over a very important emergency military intelligence document to Yuan Huang, who was left behind in Burma.
