Chapter 748: Dying Struggle

Seeing this situation, Shen Zhu's faces became more and more unsightly, and the old shoufu knew that in this situation, it was basically impossible for him to refute the views of the Son of Heaven, otherwise, when he was in the cabinet, he would not have that kind of attitude.

But what they really can't figure out is why Zhen Zhenji suddenly turned against him, you must know that Ye Xianggao's performance is obviously the first knife on Ke Dao's body, and Zhen Zhen Ji's sphere of influence is mostly in Ke Dao, this knife is cut down, he is afraid that his second assistant will not be so good!

It is precisely because of this section that even if the attitude of the second assistant remains neutral, Zhu Geng is not worried that he will completely fall to Li Tingji's side, and as long as he is still neutral, then it is possible to fight for it.

But who would have thought that with just a cup of tea, the attitude of this second assistant lord became extremely firm, and it was really hard to guess......

In fact, not only Zhu Geng, but even Li Tingji was confused at the moment, and he didn't understand what was going on with the sudden change in his attitude.

Among the people present, I am afraid that only Wang Xijue has this vision to be able to guess one or two.

In fact, although Zhen Zhenji was once the imperial history of the left capital and was known for his uprightness, in fact, those who knew him well knew that he was a very cautious person, and he was not willing to take risks when everything was necessary.

In the cabinet, although he is the second assistant, in fact, he is the weakest force, with Wang Xijue, the first assistant, and Zhu Geng and Shen Li's alliance, the only one with the least qualifications, Li Tingji, or the person supported by the Son of Heaven.

On the other hand, his second assistant has neither the personal prestige of Wang Xijue who is enough to suppress the dynasty, nor the backing of a large faction like the Zhejiang Party, nor the support of the Son of Heaven.

It is precisely for this reason that Zhen Cifu actually has no sense of existence in the cabinet, not only Li Tingji, but sometimes even Shen Li has a greater presence than him, and most of the time, Zhen Cifu chooses to keep in line with Wang Xijue's footsteps.

But as a second assistant, how could Zhen Zhenji be so willing to be a transparent person, and if he wanted to expand his influence, he had to find a reliable backing.

And all the signs in the past few months have shown that he has the intention to move closer to the new emperor!

In fact, this is a very understandable thing, Zhen Zhenji is already the second assistant of the cabinet, and there are actually very few people who can make him work, or support him.

Unless he joins a major party and becomes its leader, he will have to seek closer to the emperor.

The previous article, not to mention that each faction has its own leader, whether people are willing to accept him, can make the heart of the second to look down, in fact, there are only a few big parties, but these big parties, how can he let a new person to control the faction, if he can't control the entire faction, why should the heart and the second assistant join?

On the contrary, it is not the same to get closer to the emperor, first of all, it is the duty of a minister to be loyal to the monarch and serve the country, and then to talk about the reality, the person with the highest official position in the imperial party is only Li Tingji, the cabinet scholar at the bottom of the ranking, and the second assistant is still a big difference, the first time the Son of Heaven ascended to the throne, and he must urgently need to master the high-level power of the court.

You must know that although after Sinong Temple and his party, the emperor has basically mastered the entire court situation, but after all, there are still many hidden dangers, at least in the cabinet, the emperor has not yet obtained the absolute right to speak, so the emperor must welcome the close of Zhen Zhenji.

Therefore, in the recent government affairs, the second assistant is trying his best to follow the pace of the emperor, and this time is naturally no exception!

As long as you think about this clearly, it is not difficult to understand Zhen Cifu's choice, most of his power is indeed in Kedao, but even when he was in the imperial history of the left capital, he only had some influence on Kedao, and could not fully control Kedao, so Yanguan was not actually his cronies.

The Son of Heaven wants to make a move on Kedao, the impact on him is actually not as great as imagined, even if there is a partial loss, it can be made for the Son of Heaven to see his determination, pay such a little price, let the Son of Heaven see his attitude clearly, it is definitely a good deal.

So in fact, when he saw Ye Xianggao's recital, Zhen Cifu had a small calculation in his heart, and the reason why he had an ambiguous attitude was actually influenced by Li Tingji.

It's no wonder that Li Ge is really a person with a criminal record!

It is the Son of Heaven who wants to get closer to the Son of Heaven, not Li Tingji, so he must be sure that this recital is really the meaning of the Son of Heaven, so that he can express his attitude, and in view of Li Gelao's nonsense in the court last time, it really makes Zhen Cifu question his character.

Therefore, when he was in the cabinet, he would have an ambiguous attitude, and when he got the Qianqing Palace, he saw that the attitude of the Son of Heaven was obvious, and he naturally expressed his position.

"The old minister agrees with what the elder of the pavilion said, the officialdom needs to be rectified urgently, and the style of science and Taoism is the top priority, but the strength of the principle of punishment mentioned in Ye Shilang's performance is really inappropriate, and it should be discussed again!"

Lao Shoufu's attitude was as expected by others, and he simply expressed his approval.

In the cabinet, there are a total of five people, and three of them have expressed their approval, and including the first assistant and the second assistant, it should be said that the overall situation of this matter has been decided.

But even so, Zhu Geng still didn't give up, pondered for a while, and stepped forward.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that if the officials are deposed, it will inevitably make people panic, it is better to only investigate and not investigate, and not make an example, so that it can not only deter the court officials, but also will not shake the foundation of the court, please Your Majesty Mingjian!"

Since he can't work whether to picket or not, Zhu Ge Lao can only strive for the lighter the punishment, the better, and he is still relatively confident in this.

Although the law does not control the public, it is indeed a very good method, there are so many officials in the court, the emperor can't all be killed or deposed, it is better to only investigate and not investigate, in this way, it can end up in the name of leniency!

"Just investigate and not investigate? Heh......"

A sneer appeared on the corner of Zhu Changluo's mouth, and Zhu Geng was frightened when he saw it, but at this moment, he could only hold on hard, fortunately, the Son of Heaven did not say anything, but picked up a book from the desk and said.

"Since you all mean this, I can't help the public's will, speaking of which, I also received a copy here this morning, but coincidentally, it is also Ye Xianggao, how to solve the problem that you are worried about, I guess after reading this, I should have a bottom in my heart......"
