Chapter XIII: Your Majesty's Meaning

Sun Chengzong's meaning is actually very clear, that is, he wants to tell Zhu Youxiao that you use the eunuch party because the eunuch party is obedient, and the old minister understands, but you can't just use the eunuch party, after all, most of the officials who are willing to join the eunuchs are villains who tend to be inflammatory.

Moreover, Wei Zhongxian, the leader of the eunuch party, has already offended a lot of people for you, and it is time for you to give up this dog.

The cunning rabbit dies, the lackey cooks, this is just a common imperial technique, why can't Your Majesty use it.

Zhu Youxiao naturally knew what Sun Chengzong meant, and for the nine-thousand-year-old Wei Zhongxian, he also knew that it was impossible for this great eunuch who had transferred a lot of contradictions for himself to have a good ending, just like Liu Jin, their last bit of use value was to be executed by the emperor, and then regain the heart of the courtiers.

But Zhu Youxiao didn't think that Wei Zhongxian's road would be to death, and he still needed him to continue to do things for himself.

However, in order to paralyze the majority of the moderate Donglin Party, he had to do something about Wei Zhongxian, at least not to keep him in the Si Celebrant Prison.

"Li Mingrui is your protégé, right?"

Zhu Youxiao asked, the Li Mingrui he mentioned was the official who suggested that Emperor Chongzhen move south on the eve of Li Zicheng's destruction of the city, and he was a more pragmatic follower.

Li Mingrui is indeed Sun Chengzong's protégé, but Sun Chengzong doesn't understand why Li Mingrui is valued by His Majesty, but now he doesn't want to ask much, so he nodded.

"You instruct him to impeach Wei Zhongxian, but remember, I don't want Wei Zhongxian to die yet, let him take care of his own proportions, if I am not satisfied, not only will I not remove Wei Zhongxian, but I will also kill his head!"

Accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger, Sun Chengzong knows this, but he is more excited at this time.

Because this shows that His Majesty the Emperor already has the intention of giving up Wei Zhongxian, and letting his protégé impeach Wei Zhongxian obviously has the intention of increasing the prestige of his new scholar.

His protégé impeached the most prominent figure in the court, who dares to say that there is no meaning in this, and in the eyes of outsiders, he is more favored by the emperor than Wei Zhongxian.

In this way, whether it is the eunuch party or the Donglin party, I am afraid that they will have to give themselves face.

The eunuch party naturally had to slap himself up because he was more favored than Wei Zhongxian, and the Donglin party was naturally willing to follow him because his protégé could impeach Wei Zhongxian.

Now it is August, and when the autumn rain lingers and the cold wind blows, Li Mingrui, who has been waiting outside the palace gate, can't help but stomp his feet.

From the day he learned that his mentor Sun Chengzong had been reinstated by Emperor Zhu Youxiao, he had not slept well for several days in his excitement, so much so that today he learned that his mentor entered the palace as soon as he entered the capital.

He couldn't wait outside the palace gate.

In the drizzle of silver threads, the figure of his mentor Sun Chengzong gradually became clear from blur, and Li Mingrui, who had changed from a heroic boy to a middle-aged half-old, hurriedly patted the raindrops on his body, and quickly ran to Sun Chengzong, and made a long gesture:

"The teacher is above, please accept the students' worship!"

"Get up, I haven't seen you for a few years, and you've added a lot of gray hair."

Sun Chengzong couldn't help but sigh, remembering the scene when he was in the Gongyuan to comment on the world's articles and kill the enemy in Liaodong.

"Since learning that the teacher has resigned and returned to his hometown, the student has been restless, and now that the teacher has returned to the court, the student's gray hair will turn blue," Li Mingrui smiled.

Sun Chengzong didn't say much, and let Li Mingrui help him walk and sighed: "You have been in the Hanlin Academy for five years." ”

"The student is a jinshi in the second year of the Apocalypse, and it has been five years and five months."

Li Mingrui replied with a wry smile.

Although the official position of the Hanlin Yuan is clear, but it is also a poor official, and he himself is poor, not more reliable than the officials from the gentry family, the family is relieved for many days, over the years of being an official, Li Mingrui has not even bought a winter coat, but because his teacher Sun Chengzong was dismissed, and he does not want to enter Donglin, nor does he want to join the eunuch party, so that now the official has not been promoted, and the family is becoming more and more embarrassed.

These are nothing, Li Mingrui, who has long regarded himself as the Ming Dynasty Liu Yuxi, is even more aggrieved in his heart that his lifelong ambitions cannot be realized, but his top boss is the treacherous villain Sun Zhiqi, and he doesn't even have the opportunity to reach the sky.

Li Mingrui did not tell Sun Chengzong about his suffering, but Sun Chengzong also saw his current predicament as a student from his patched ring-neck undershirt.

"Over the years, because the teacher is either in Liaodong or at home, he has not had time to support you, and you yourself are unwilling to go through other relationships, but fortunately, Your Majesty remembers you, and from today onwards, you will switch to the Son of Heaven."

Sun Chengzong said.

Li Mingrui didn't understand what his teacher meant, but he heard Sun Chengzong say again: "Who is the most powerful person in the court now, you know?" ”

"Naturally, Wei Zhongxian, who is known as the 9,000-year-old," Li Mingrui replied.

Sun Chengzong nodded: "You can write a bullet to impeach him." ”

Li Mingrui couldn't help but be surprised, and secretly wondered why the teacher had just been reinstated and let himself impeach Wei Zhongxian, the most powerful person in the DPRK.

You must know that neither the Donglin Party nor Zhu Youzhen, the king of letters, overthrew Wei Zhongxian, and even caused King Xin to drive out the capital, and the Donglin Party also impeached Wei Zhongxian and countless people went to Jinyi Wei Prison.

He is just a small Hanlin Academy review, and he is not the sixth branch of the matter or the imperial history of the Imperial Inspectorate, if he annoys His Majesty because of this, His Majesty can directly kill his own head.

Without waiting for Li Mingrui to ask, Sun Chengzong sighed with emotion: "Your Majesty is not a faint monarch, the major events in the world have long been seen by him!" ”

Saying that, Sun Chengzong glanced at Li Mingrui again: "Pay attention to proportionality when impeaching, don't want to cause Wei Zhongxian to be guilty of death like the Donglin Party, and don't scratch the itch through your boots, you can grasp the proportions yourself, in addition, this is what Your Majesty meant." ”

"What does Your Majesty mean?"

Li Mingrui was confused, you must know that it was because hundreds of officials impeached Li Jinzhong and coerced His Majesty to severely punish Wei Zhongxian that His Majesty was furious, and he directly issued an order to crown Wei Zhongxian "nine thousand years old".

It's only been less than two years, and His Majesty has begun to dislike Wei Zhongxian?

But through His Majesty's performance recently, there is no such sign.

Sun Chengzong nodded.

Li Mingrui also had to believe it when he saw this, and he was also a little excited in his heart, if he participated in Wei Zhongxian, he was destined to make great achievements and leave a name in history, which was a great thing for himself.

Li Mingrui, who was overjoyed, couldn't help but ask: "Sir, do you know, why did Your Majesty instruct the students?" ”

"Because you are neither a Donglin party nor a eunuch party".

Sun Chengzong said a word and entered the sedan chair, only Li Mingrui was still stunned, until a gust of wind whistled, he helped the black yarn on his head and walked back.
