Hearing the voice of the Son of Heaven opening his mouth, Li Tingji's high heart finally let go.

The boldness just now may seem like a weight to outsiders, but only Li Tingji himself knows how dangerous he is, just as he said to Ye Xianggao in his own mansion.

From the moment he was determined to continue to stay in this chaotic situation, the path he chose was bound to be one full of hardships and no way back.

A ...... Disdainful of readers, the road of the favored minister, the fortunate minister!

He has been hiding in the mansion for so long, and the reputation he has accumulated in Shilin over the years has been almost ruined.

He once thought about resigning and going into hiding, and even not recovering again, perhaps in this way, he could keep his few reputations and win a reputation that did not seek fame and fortune.

But weighing the pros and cons, Li Tingji still chose to continue to stay in the officialdom, people say that fame and fortune are like a passing cloud, but in the final analysis, who is willing to give up the power in his hands and go into hiding?

Not interested in fame and fortune? Is he really a person who is indifferent to fame and fortune?

Li Tingji asked himself, if his career can be smooth sailing, and the price is that he will be regarded as a fortunate minister and a favored minister, is he willing?

The answer is undoubtedly yes, he is willing, he has stepped into the officialdom for so many years, he has his own ambitions in his chest, and hopes that through his strength, this Daming, which is gradually declining, will be rejuvenated.

So he resolutely chose a road with an uncertain future, and became the prince of Zhu Changluo, who was still a prince, and today he is also willing to give up those false names for his own ambitions, just hoping that one day, he can reach the top of the first assistant.

And the opportunity to go down this road is the same as my own choice many years ago, in the body of today.

Since the past dynasties, why there have been repeated disasters of eunuchs, the Son of Heaven knows that eunuchs will act misbehaving under the banner of the emperor, but he still does not hesitate to rely on eunuchs, just because eunuchs are easy to control, and Wenchen is difficult to control.

Wenchen has too many relationships, protégés, fellow villagers and old friends, and all kinds of intricate relationships form a dense protective net, which makes the emperor very difficult for Wenchen.

And now, Li Tingji has given up these advantages, he has given up his reputation among the scholars, and has become the target of the court, which means that the only person he can rely on is the Son of Heaven.

The real giving and taking is stored in the heart of the Son of Heaven!

Only in this way can he gain the unreserved trust of the Son of Heaven, because he has lost the qualification and ability to betray, and can only stick close to the Son of Heaven, and there is no other way to go.

Therefore, when the Son of Heaven wanted to promote Xu Guangqi, he resolutely came forward to speak for the Son of Heaven, and even did not hesitate to directly choke with the first assistant Wang Xijue for this, and regardless of the rules of officialdom, he picked up some things to the surface.

And when this matter was opposed by the courtiers, he offered a plan for the Son of Heaven, so that the Son of Heaven successfully passed Xu Guangqi's appointment.

If the former incident offended many forces in the court, then the latter strategy, he also offended the rest of the imperial party.

There are many gossip officials in the imperial party, and they may not all be willing to give up their promotion opportunities for Xu Guangqi and other former ministers of the palace, and Li Tingji's suggestion can be said to offend them all.

But Li Tingji doesn't care, on the contrary, he hopes that the cleaner he offends, the better, and the more people he offends, the less room he has to toss and turn, and the more he will be trusted by the Son of Heaven.

And with the trust of the Son of Heaven, what about the imperial party, and what about the other forces? Who can help him?

Of course, Li Tingji also knows in his heart that this is a road of no return, and the fortunate ministers and favored ministers who have always been too close to the Son of Heaven have no good results in history, but now he can't care about so much, since he has chosen this road, he will go all the way to the black!

It's just that what made him a little disappointed was that Fang Congzhe was not fooled after all.

Although he made up his mind to follow the footsteps of the Son of Heaven closely, it did not mean that he had forgotten Fang Congzhe's calculations against him, his move, in fact, was also against Fang Congzhe's army.

Who is Fang Congzhe?

The current waiter of the Ministry of Rites is also in charge of the Hanlin Academy, if the Zuodu Imperial History is the head of the Qingliu Branch, then the current Fang Congzhe is the head of the Cichen Huaxuan.

Li Tingji's suggestion is undoubtedly provoking the Qingliu ministers, maybe it is a good thing for those former emperors, but for the Qingliu Emperor Party like Fang Congzhe, it is a big loss.

So Li Tingji has been looking forward to it, expecting that Fang Congzhe will not be able to hold back and jump out to answer him, even if he shows a little dissatisfaction, it will make the Son of Heaven change his perception of him.

Because before this trip to Sinong Temple, Li Tingji had carefully guessed the thoughts of the Son of Heaven, and finally dared to guess that the Son of Heaven did not want to replace the former ministers of the first emperor with the imperial party on a large scale in the near future, which sounds incredible, but as long as you think of the recent actions of the Son of Heaven, it is easy to understand.

You must know that the Shoufu boss has always wanted to reform the rule of officials, and what he wants to change is the division of departmental responsibilities in the administration of officials and the strengthening of the power of the cabinet, rather than wanting to change a group of people, which is unchanged.

Li Tingji didn't think that the Son of Heaven would be able to persuade the Shoufu Elder to change his political policy for many years when he first ascended to the throne, so since they were willing to cooperate, they must have established a unanimous understanding, that is, they would not take the opportunity to carry out a major purge of court officials.

However, there have been rumors in the capital recently, saying that the Son of Heaven intends to promote the imperial party, so he sharpens his knife against the old ministers of the first emperor, so he boldly speculates whether the emperor will intend to appease the old ministers of the first emperor and stop these remarks from continuing to spread in the court.

If it happens, he will completely become the most trusted courtier around the Son of Heaven, and the dilemma in front of him no longer exists, but if he guesses the meaning of the Son of Heaven wrongly, then he will face an abyss, offending the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, and he will be embarrassed in the Shilin, and he has guessed the wrong intention of the Son of Heaven......

Fortunately, in this big gamble, he pressed the treasure, and the Son of Heaven gladly approved his proposal, which also means that the dilemma he faced no longer exists, and since he bet on the mind of the Son of Heaven, it is understandable to design Fang Congzhe.

Why did he fall from a dignified emperor to the extent that everyone shouted and beaten, and it was not because of the impulse above the court and the destruction of the plan of the Son of Heaven?

If it is on the field today, if it is someone else who jumps out from Zhe, I am afraid it may not be comfortable!

It's a pity that in the end, the other party didn't take the bait, but it made Li Tingji regret......

But before he could continue to sigh, he heard a voice among the ministers, old and dignified.

"This matter is over, the old minister has Dingguo Qing officials to play Your Majesty, please Your Majesty!" 2510
