Chapter 18: Analysis and Laymanship

After listening to Xiao Mu's description, Lin Yi gloated in his heart, but there was no expression on his face, but he also showed a speechless and collapsed expression, and his mouth expressed understanding and sympathy for Xiao Mu's suffering. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žfo

Of course, Xiao Mu didn't know that Lin Ye was secretly happy in his heart, and while expressing his gratitude to Lin Ye for his comfort, he also proposed to discuss with Lin Ye how to solve the current problem:

"Pretending to faint can only be an expedient measure, and when the next time you go to the court, those officials will definitely put forward a demand for severely punishing the eunuchs, what do you say I should do at that time?"

Lin Yi spread his hands and replied innocently: "Didn't they all say that you couldn't interfere in politics in the ancient harem?" So don't ask me this complicated question......"

"Well, that's right, and you're still pregnant, so it's really bad for your body to bother thinking about such a complicated thing." Xiao Mu expressed full understanding of Lin Ye.

It's a pity that Xiao Mu doesn't know that the word pregnancy is simply a killer weapon against Lin Ye. As soon as he heard Xiao Mu mention the topic of pregnancy, Lin Yi immediately became energetic, for fear that Xiao Mu would find a doctor for himself to check his body on a whim or something, so he quickly forcibly pulled the topic back: "Then you just don't go to court, judging from what you just said, the court can't actually deal with any national affairs, it's just a waste of chaos and time, and it's okay to go to the court early." ”

Xiao Mu was not optimistic about Lin Yi's method: "Even if I don't go to court all the time, they will definitely not give up, and it is estimated that they will get a joint letter or something to present." ”

"Hmm...... It makes sense, if there is really a joint concert, you still can't ignore them, maybe they will directly escalate the situation in a fit of anger and run to the outside of the palace to kneel down collectively and ask for their lives, and then you will be even more troublesome. Lin Yi added an analysis for Xiao Mu.

"That's right! What you said is right, if you don't take some measures, the situation you said will become a reality, and the TV series I used to watch were all played like this......" Of course, Xiao Mu didn't want to come up with a Ming version of "Book on the Bus", and at that time, it would be difficult for things to turn around.

And there is another side of thought in Xiao Mu's heart: avoiding the court, not dealing with the twists and turns, and finally triggering the officials to collectively ask for their lives, this is simply a textbook-like behavior of a faint monarch who ignores the government and politics, and he borrowed the body of Emperor Chongzhen, how can he mess up the reputation of Emperor Chongzhen's diligence in the original history? As for the things he did before, such as abdicating to make way for Xian and running out of the palace, of course, Xiao Mu automatically ignored it.

"Moreover, how many of the officials who impeached the eunuch party really want to punish the evil and promote the good, and purge the officials?" Lin Yi further analyzed.

Lin Yi's analysis sounded very reasonable, Xiao Mu felt that he was only one layer of window paper away from the truth, and hurriedly urged: "Oh? What do you think? Tell me about it. ”

"Have you forgotten why Liang Yuehao of Daxingzhi County accepted bribes?" Lin Yi reminded.

Lin Ye's reminder made Xiao Mu suddenly realize: "That's right! Only by driving out these 'remnants of the eunuchs' will new positions be vacated, and of course someone will have to fill so many vacated positions, and the people who fill these official positions are, of course, those who have contributed the most to the purge of the eunuchs. ”

Lin Yi expressed his satisfaction with Xiao Mu's enlightenment: "Yes, therefore, if the 'remnants of the eunuch party' do not step down for a day, there will be no way to vacate the positions that are still occupied by them, and many of the officials who have become the 'remnants of the eunuch party' have no way to get rid of their relationship with Wei Zhongxian. Therefore, the contradictions will definitely intensify in the future. ”

Xiao Mu, who had figured it out, further analyzed: "Among the officials who impeached the eunuchs, of course, there are indeed those who want to uphold justice because the eunuchs have done too many evils, but most of them must be aimed at purging officials and enriching their henchmen." Among the officials who are listed as the 'remnants of the eunuch party', although there will definitely be those who do a lot of evil, most of them must still be forced to attach themselves to Wei Zhongxian out of desperation. ”

Xiao Mu said as he felt the seriousness of the problem: it would definitely not work if it continued like this, if this problem was kept hanging, everyone's minds would be thinking about how to attack political opponents instead of working seriously - perhaps in their eyes, hoeing traitors for the country is the most important job.

Moreover, behind this list of 'eunuch remnants', there must be a lot of dirty money transactions: that Liang Yuehao of Daxingzhi County was able to clear his own relationship with the eunuchs because he bribed the upper officials, and turned into a capable and talented official; since there are such things, then on the contrary, the fact that the originally upright officials were labeled as 'eunuch remnants' because they refused to bribe their superiors must also exist.

Thinking of this, Xiao Mu couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "The relationship network of these fellow villagers, classmates, and the same year in ancient times is too complicated. ”

"Well, there are also teachers, protΓ©gΓ©s and the like, as long as it is an official, and it is estimated that anyone can have anything to do with the eunuchs." Lin Yi also made additions to him.

"So it's important to stop this kind of mass purge of officials." Xiao Mu concluded.

After understanding the motives of so many officials who impeached the eunuchs, Xiao Mu was in a good mood for a while, and felt that it should not be difficult to solve the problem, but soon Xiao Mu found that understanding the motive and solving the problem were completely different things.

It's as if Xiao Mu can easily understand the motives of Huang Taiji who led troops into the customs and looted many times in history - it is nothing more than robbing money, food, and people, and it is naturally better to rush to grab the country and the country, Xiao Mu believes that the original Emperor Chongzhen in history must also understand, but in the end, he was still unable to stop Huang Taiji's looting, and the country was indirectly robbed by Huang Taiji in the end.

The police of his own era can also fully understand the motives of robbers to rob banks, but they still can't put an end to this crime, in fact, bank robberies still happen from time to time, and they are also classic episodes in many movies.

"What should I do?" Xiao Mu found that after analyzing so many problems and returning to the original point, he hung his head in annoyance, after all, Wei Zhongxian was personally solved by Emperor Chongzhen as soon as he ascended the throne, and now that he suddenly did not continue to fight the eunuchs, Emperor Chongzhen's prestige would definitely be greatly reduced.

Lin Yi couldn't think of any good solution for a while, but talked to Xiao Mu about other things: "Yesterday I went to visit your imperial sister-in-law, and she called me Sister Zhou. ”

"Sister Zhou? What Sister Zhou? Xiao Mu, who was absent-minded, didn't know what Lin Ye was talking about.

"Look, you've been tricked too!" Lin Yi said, "My body is the original Empress Zhou of Emperor Chongzhen, so naturally my surname is Zhou." ”

"Oh." Xiao Mu made a perfunctory expression of understanding.

"Didn't you see the danger here?" Ringo asked.

"What's at stake?" Xiao Mu asked rhetorically.

"That's the question of our name, if you accidentally say something and call me Lin Yi directly, and then let others hear it, won't this reveal your identity?" Lin Yi felt that Xiao Mu must have an elm head.

Xiao Mu suddenly realized: "If you don't say it, I really didn't think about it!" The main thing is that after coming here, everyone calls me the emperor and you Niangniang, but no one directly calls us by name. It seems that we all have to pay more attention in the future, and if we accidentally say that we are exposed, it will be troublesome. ”

"Talking about that kind of stuff must be done." Lin Yi glanced at Xiao Mu, "I just came up with a one-and-done solution, we just need to be like this......"

……

The next day, Xiao Mu and Lin Yi invited Zong Dao and other ministers to come to the imperial garden to enjoy the flowers and feast.

"I see that the scenery in the garden is gratifying, so I invite you to come and enjoy it today, you are welcome." Xiao Mu said with a greeting.

Lai Zongdao and the others naturally knelt on the ground to thank them, and Xiao Mu immediately helped them up: "I have just ascended to the great treasure, and the affairs of the court and government still depend on you Aiqing to share my worries, and now that the state affairs are difficult, I hope that you will focus on the overall situation, sincerely unite, and go to the difficulties together." ”

Lai Zongdao originally thought that the party competition above the court was fierce, and his first assistant was a transition, and he would definitely not be able to do it for long, so he started to do things but sought no success, only no fault. Waiting for the party to divide the winners and losers, the emperor will find a good successor for himself, and he can go home to retire for the rest of his life, but from the emperor's actions just now, he has no way to return to his hometown for a while......

So the elders who came to the sect and waited for the pavilion knelt on the ground one after another, and said again and again that they must do their best and die.

After appeasing the elders and solving the problem that they were going to resign the day before yesterday, Xiao Mu was naturally very happy, and Lai Zongdao and the others were also very happy in their eyes, and the atmosphere was very good for a while.

Halfway through the banquet, Xiao Mu got up and said: "All of you Aiqing are famous people who are rich in learning and reading poetry and books. ”

Xiao Mu originally had the urge to copy two ancient poems, but he didn't find a suitable one, so he dispelled this idea and concentrated on appreciating the masterpieces of all the great talents, so the atmosphere of the scene was more harmonious.

Seeing that the atmosphere was almost over, Xiao Mu said: "I usually read poems, and I love Du Gongbu's works the most, especially in the poems of Qiu Xing, 'boundless falling trees Xiao Xiaoxia, not the Yangtze River rolls in', every time I read it, my heart is full of emotion, today I take this opportunity, I will call myself 'Xiao Mu Jushi', what do you think?" ”

Of course, all the cabinet elders have said that the artistic conception is far-reaching, and the emperor is very clever.

Xiao Mu turned to Lin Yi again and said, "It's rare to be so Yaxing today, is it good for the queen to take a nickname?" ”

Lin Yi excused himself and said: "The little book I read in this palace, where can I compare with the emperor and the elders." ”

Everyone said that the queen was too modest, but Lin Yi couldn't refuse, so he picked up an apple and said: "The weather has been hot recently, and this palace uses this thing every day, and it is very useful. ”

Lai Zongdao and others naturally said that Niangniang is deeply elegant, which is difficult for ordinary people to reach.

So the banquet ended successfully with the praise of everyone. After the elders left, Xiao Mu and Lin Yi, who had been performing in front of everyone for a long time, felt that acting was such a tiring thing, but fortunately, the purpose was finally achieved......
