Seeing that the emperor was in good health and seemed to be in good spirits, Lai Zongdao's heart was also very happy, although there were elements that could reduce the guilt, but more of them were sincerely happy that the great son of heaven was safe and sound. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Of course, happiness is happiness, but etiquette cannot be lacking.

"The criminal minister came to the sect and knocked to see the emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live. The criminal minister collided with the emperor yesterday, so that the holy dragon body violated the harmony, and the criminal minister was willing to ambush him, and asked the emperor to punish him. ”

The first thing after coming to Zongdao and entering the main hall is of course to ask for guilt, after all, the emperor's body is the most important, compared with the body of the Son of Heaven, whether a head assistant should resign or return to the field This kind of thing must of course be put back, at least on the surface, the importance of the matter is arranged in this way.

What's more, he was the number one "culprit" of the emperor's fainting yesterday, if it was serious, there was nothing wrong with treating him for a "capital crime", so he was also very frightened and sincerely apologized, asking for the emperor's punishment, showing a posture of willing acceptance even if it was a capital crime.

Of course, this is only theoretical, in fact, no matter from which angle you think about it, Xiao Mu has no reason to cure the sins of the sect. Even if it is a faint monarch without a way, I'm afraid few people will do such a thing, for example, Liu Chan, the queen of Shu Han who has always been at the top of the list of faint monarchs, is still good for his courtiers.

"Hurry up, please get up, yesterday's incident has nothing to do with Aiqing, Aiqing doesn't have to blame herself too much."

Xiao Mu, as a "Ming Jun", of course, is even more unlikely to be embarrassed to come to Zongdao, and he personally stepped forward and personally helped the Zongdao to help him.

"Come, give me a seat. I'm going to have a good chat with Aiqing today......"

……

Lin Yi also got up very early in the morning, although he slept late at night - it was already midnight when Xiao Mu woke up, and by the time they finished their supper and talked a lot about coming to the sect, it was already almost the time of the ugly time, and it was replaced by the time of the afterlife, that is, around two or three o'clock in the morning.

Under normal circumstances, I have been busy since noon yesterday, and I slept so late at night, I shouldn't have gotten up so early, and I should have slept until three o'clock in the sun, when the sun was drying my buttocks -- this was already a very excessive situation in the Ming Dynasty.

But if you follow the rhythm of Xiao Mu's later life in college, this is nothing at all: anyway, he has already slept so late, of course, he has to sleep until noon, eat some lunch directly after getting up, and then go back to take a nap, and sleep directly until two or three o'clock in the afternoon, so that the body can get enough rest, and he can have the physical strength to continue playing at night.

Lin Yi had also planned to take a lazy nap to get rid of the fatigue of the whole day. But it backfired, and just when she had dreamed for an unknown number of dreams, and subconsciously felt that she had slept for a long time, and then opened her eyes contentedly, she found that it was just about seven o'clock in the morning, in other words, Lin Yi had only slept for four hours and woke up.

I had the heart to continue sleeping for a while, but my brain was abnormally awake, and in desperation, Lin Ye had to give up his plan to go back to sleep.

When he was being served by the palace maids to freshen up and change clothes, Lin Yi suddenly thought of what he told Xiao Mu at night about directly finding Zongdao to confirm his intentions, it is estimated that Xiao Mu has already sent someone to find Zongdao at this time, of course he can't miss this kind of thing!

So Lin Yi urged the palace maids to speed up the speed of changing clothes, and their hair was simply combed, and then under the advice and request of the palace maids and eunuchs, after having two mouthfuls of breakfast in a hurry, Lin Ye ran to Xiao Mu non-stop.

As for why Lin Mu was so sure that Xiao Mu would definitely summon the sect to come, it was also a natural thing: although Xiao Mu was not very receptive to Lin Ye's straightforward suggestion, until the end of the chat, when the two of them had to rest, Xiao Mu didn't think of any other more suitable method.

Not only Xiao Mu, but even Lin Ye himself didn't think of other effective methods, since he couldn't imagine a problem that a smart person like himself couldn't think of, then of course Xiao Mu's wooden head couldn't think of it! So this morning, Xiao Mu will definitely follow his own suggestion and summon Lai Zongdao to the palace early.

What's more, after all, this is the first assistant of the cabinet, the equivalent of the prime minister of the Ming Dynasty proposed to resign, as the emperor, no matter what, he must also put on a posture of importance, decisively put aside all other important state affairs (of course, Xiao Mu, the emperor, does not have any important state affairs to deal with), personally chat with the first assistant, and try to keep it as much as possible. If you put aside the first assistant who proposed to resign and pretend not to hear about it, it is something that only a faint monarch can do, Xiao Mu has always wanted to leave a reputation of "Ming Jun" to Emperor Chongzhen, of course he will not do this kind of faint monarch's behavior.

Although Lin Yi was so anxious, women were troublesome animals after all, especially women in ancient times, especially the nobles of the ancient court, from dress to costumes, everything was exquisitely detailed, which made Lin Yi feel troubled and couldn't be more troublesome.

So when Lin Yi rushed to Xiao Mu's place, she could only regret to find that Lai Zongdao had been called, and Xiao Mu seemed to have been chatting with him for a while.

Lin Yi walked into the main hall and found that Xiao Mu's expression after seeing him was very complicated, that is, there was a little helplessness between the smugness, in short, it was a very contradictory expression, even if the international actors of later generations could not necessarily make expressions without personal feelings.

Lin Yi understood the meaning of Xiao Mu's expression at a glance - I am afraid that this is because there was a mistake in the analysis I have done, and the resignation of the Sect Dao is not simply a way to persuade Xiao Mu, but I sincerely do not want to continue to serve as the first assistant, in this way, the helpless expression is naturally easy to understand, since the desire to come to the Sect Dao to resign is very strong, Xiao Mu feels a headache about this, of course, it is not surprising.

Because he was sitting with his back to the palace door before, he didn't find Lin Yi who came in at the first time, but after seeing the change in the expression on the emperor's face, he saw that it was the queen mother who came, so he immediately knelt down and saluted:

"The minister comes to the sect and knocks to see the mother."

Lin Ye naturally signaled that Lai Zongdao did not need to be polite, and quickly got up, several people exchanged a few words of greeting, Lin Ye and Lai Zongdao both sat in their respective seats, and Xiao Mu began to talk about the topic again:

"I am in the midst of an eventful autumn, and every time I think about it, there is always a lack of available talents in the court, and I often feel regretful. Aiqing has lived in the cabinet for a long time, has rich experience in politics, and can share a lot of worries for me, why did she suddenly have an idea, does Aiqing really want to resign and go into hiding? ”

"Back to the emperor, the minister is old and frail, his old eyes are dizzy, and he is unbearable." Lai Zongdao first came to a set of clichés used to resign, and then continued, "And my Ming Dynasty is indeed an eventful autumn now, the Jurchens outside the Guanwai have seized my Liaodong, set up a false name Houjin, and set up a false capital with Shenyang, which is really a problem for my Ming henchmen; Southwest Yungui Tusi, there are many people who do not obey the imperial court, since the apocalypse, there are often wolf-hearted and dog-lung people, such as extravagant Chongming, An Bangyan and the like, the army is in chaos, although the imperial court has been encircled and suppressed in many ways, and the rebellion has been successfully quelled, but there are still hidden dangers, which must be prevented; In recent years, the climate has been abnormal, especially in western Shaanxi and other places, many prefectures and counties have not harvested grains, and local officials are greedy for ink and expropriation, which may lead to popular uprisings in the future, and the situation is also grim. ”

Lai Zongdao roughly analyzed the current situation of Da Ming, and it was indeed a very dangerous time, and then continued: "At this eventful time, it is the time when capable ministers are needed. The minister dares to ask the emperor to select the meritocracy, and the position of the first assistant of the cabinet cannot be held by people who have both ability and political integrity, so that I can prosper as soon as possible. ”

All in all, in short, Lai Zongdao said a lot of meaning that the current situation of the Ming Dynasty is not good, I have no ability, and I am afraid that it will be bad to continue to be the first assistant, so the emperor should find another capable person.

Xiao Mu naturally will not easily agree to this set of statements from Lai Zongdao, in his eyes, there is no essential difference between these ministers in the Ming Dynasty, everyone is also a scholar who has passed the imperial examination, and the way of dealing with problems is also similar, and there will be no miracle if anyone becomes the first assistant.

And with Xiao Mu's understanding of this period of history, in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, there doesn't seem to be a very famous minister like Zhuge Liang.

Since it is almost the same to change anyone, then simply don't change this first assistant, it is best to continue to be the sect, which can also avoid the turmoil of officialdom, which will undoubtedly have a very serious adverse impact on the government of the Ming Dynasty.

It is true that in the original history, in the more than ten years of Emperor Chongzhen's reign, there were as many as 50 officials who served as cabinet scholars, and the final facts also proved that changing so many cabinet elders did not help the Ming Dynasty's society.

Therefore, Xiao Mu continued to work hard to keep Lai Zongdao and persuaded him to stay in the cabinet to help him.

But Xiao Mu didn't come up with any strong arguments, and he was not an opponent of Lai Zongdao when it came to the level of reasoning at length, so he was never able to persuade Lai Zongdao to give up his intention to resign.

Lin Yi, who was sitting on the sidelines, was also thinking about it, thinking of a way to help Xiao Mu keep coming to the sect, but he also didn't think of any good ideas. Just when Lin Yi was thinking hard, she found that Xiao Mu suddenly stood up and shouted:

"Come to Zongdao! You are guilty!
