Xiao Mu's interruption surprised Lin Yi, and even frightened Lai Zongdao, so frightened that he knelt directly on the ground, "The minister is guilty, the minister offended Tianyan yesterday, and the crime deserves death......"

He was very courteous, confessed his sins, and was proactive in explaining his problems if needed. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

It's just that Lai Zongdao didn't understand why the emperor suddenly turned his face, didn't he comfort himself just now, saying that yesterday's incident had nothing to do with him? Could it be that the emperor saw that he was resolute in his resignation, so he reversed his word and wanted to investigate his rude crime? But when the emperor thinks about his fame, how can his strength be so narrow, and he behaves like this?

Therefore, until this time, what Lai Zongdao was worried about was not whether he was convicted, but the abnormalities of the emperor's behavior and the impact it might have on the emperor's reputation.

Although I thought about it so much in my heart, it was actually just a matter of two thoughts, and I had already taken these into account in my mind when I came to Zongdao to say the three words "the minister is guilty". Then, the facts immediately proved that the worries of the people who came to the sect were completely unnecessary.

"No, you don't know what you've committed!" Xiao Mu immediately strongly denied the statement of "confession" of Lai Zongdao.

Although Lai Zongdao ...... almost never seen the emperor so excited, he also knew that he must be cautious at this time, no matter what the emperor says, he must accept it with an open mind.

"You're not stupid, you're stupid!" Xiao Mu said in a heart-wrenching tone, "Don't you still understand the purpose of implementing the policy of amnesty to the world? Do I really want to spare those who are under the wing of the eunuchs? It is not because the situation in the court is unstable, and the ministers have formed factions among themselves, so I have to do this in order to ease the situation. I have even issued a decree of amnesty to the world before the prince was born, don't you really understand the purpose of this? ”

Xiao Mu's words in this paragraph have been very thorough and explicit, and he didn't say anything about how strong the ability of the sect is, how high the professional quality is, and so on--in fact, he said this kind of thing for a long time before, but it didn't have any effect, since the hard persuasion can't work, then Xiao Mu can only use it.

So Xiao Mu changed his angle and bluntly said that now the undercurrent in the court is surging, if you really resign and return to the field at this time when you come to Zongdao, it will have a very bad impact on the imperial court. Xiao Mu's words are actually acquiescing to the fact that Lai Zongdao actually does not have much outstanding ability, and he does not agree with your resignation not because of how indispensable you are, but for the stability of the court.

"The minister is ashamed...... Lai Zongdao knelt on the ground and said, his head lowered.

Of course, Lai Zongdao knew the purpose of the emperor's amnesty to the world, and even the reason for this amnesty was because of the struggle between the so-called eunuch remnants and Qingliu above the court, and the fact that the cabinet headed by him was unable to integrate the officials of the two factions and was impeached instead.

First of all, as the head of the cabinet, he had no way to stop the intensifying court battle. Whether it is the so-called Qingliu official or the remnants of the eunuch party, they have no respect for him, the transitional cabinet chief, but eyeing him as the first assistant, and they don't want to find an opportunity to participate in a book all the time, pull him off the horse, and even force the palace above the early dynasty, forcing himself and other cabinet elders to resign, and even causing the emperor to faint above the court (in fact, Xiao Mu pretended to be dizzy), so that their plan almost succeeded. In the end, it was the emperor who withstood the pressure and issued a decree of amnesty to the world, which resolved the turmoil.

Secondly, Lai Zongdao, as the first assistant, did little to contribute to the whole incident, and did not think of any good way - the emperor himself proposed the amnesty of the world's attention, and he proposed it when he had just learned that the queen was pregnant. Although the emperor has always been very confident and has no doubts about the fact that the queen mother can give birth to the prince, Lai Zongdao also knows in his heart that even if he is pregnant for nine months, as long as the baby has not yet been born, there is no way to speculate whether it is a man or a woman, and who dares to guarantee that he can predict the prophet? Therefore, in the eyes of Lai Zongdao, the emperor's self-confidence must have been deliberately done to appease people's hearts, and the purpose was to implement the policy of amnesty for the world, which shows that in the eyes of the emperor, the situation of fighting between officials in the DPRK and China has been very serious.

Of course, Lai Zongdao didn't know that in Xiao Mu's later life, there was something called B-ultrasound that could do this, in fact, although Xiao Mu definitely knew this, but it didn't have any effect, he speculated that the fetus in Lin Ye's womb was a son and not a daughter, and it was not a B ultrasound, but a vague impression of himself and Lin Ye about this history.

After all, this is the Ming Dynasty, and the level of science and technology has not reached the conditions for the B Dynasty to appear in advance, and he and Lin Yi will definitely not be able to build a machine for B ultrasound detection out of thin air - in fact, if this kind of thing can be made, Xiao Mu would have built more tanks and cannons and cultivated some high-yield crop varieties, so that the Ming Dynasty will naturally be eternal, and Xiao Mu, the emperor, can also become an unprecedented generation of Ming monarchs.

The last thing that made Lai Zongdao feel ashamed was that he still failed to fully understand the emperor's difficulties when he knew that the external situation was grim and the internal party struggle was fierce, but he only cared about his own selfishness and rashly proposed to resign, so that under the emperor's painstaking management, the party struggle that had been suppressed with great difficulty could break out again at any time.

Therefore, the sentence "the minister is ashamed" in Zongdao is really a thousand words, and he himself seems to have used all his strength to say it, and he is so ashamed that he barely raised his head to see the courage of the Holy Heaven.

"It's good to know my difficulties." However, Xiao Mu's words were not over, but he planned to immediately give another big news to Lai Zongdao.

Before that, Xiao Mu waved his hand as always, signaling the palace maids and eunuchs who were waiting in the hall to go out.

Wang Chengen got the emperor's will, so he ordered his eunuchs and palace maids to leave the palace - in fact, these palace maids and eunuchs are already very reliable people, just now the emperor and Lord Shoufu talked about all the big things, but did not let them out, and now the emperor suddenly wants to clear the scene, indicating that there must be very important things to talk about next, it seems that it may be a military event with great influence.

Just as Wang Chengen ordered all the eunuchs and palace maids to leave the main hall, and he also turned around and went out, and at the same time planned to close the palace door, Xiao Mu said again: "The eldest companion can stay." ”

Since the emperor wants to talk about important military affairs, and he also named him to say that he can stay and listen, this shows that the emperor trusts him very much, and Wang Chengen is naturally ecstatic in his heart. But he still tried to restrain his strong excitement, whispered "slaves obey the order", and returned to the emperor's side to wait.

So there were only four people left in the entire hall, Xiao Mu, Lin Yi, Lai Zongdao and Wang Chengen, and Lai Zongdao and Wang Chengen were all nervous, not knowing what important things the emperor had to say.

Lin Yi, who had been quietly listening to the conversation between Xiao Mu and Lai Zongdao (after all, the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, and it is quite okay for Lin Yi to sit here and listen, if he points fingers casually, I am afraid that he will immediately attract criticism), seeing that Xiao Mu sent all the people out, he also vaguely guessed in his heart that Xiao Mu must be planning to say something "sensational".

"Wait, this guy shouldn't tell them about the crossing directly, right?" After all, Xiao Mu is a wooden-minded person in Lin Yi, and he often does mentally retarded things, so she can't help but worry, but she immediately convinced herself again, "It shouldn't be, no matter how mentally retarded you are, you shouldn't do such a brain-dead thing, right?" In addition, even if he really said it, Lai Zongdao and Wang Chengen probably wouldn't believe it, right? ”

Just when Lin Yi was worried in his heart, Xiao Mu finally spoke:

"Moreover, I can tell you with great certainty that although Nurhachi, the slave chief of Jianzhou outside the Guanwai, died, his son Huang Taiji, who succeeded to the throne, was equally ambitious, and even surpassed his father, and eyed my great name. Within a year, within next year at the latest, we will lead troops to invade our borders, and knock on the pass and enter the Beijing Division. I'm afraid I have less than a year left to prepare......"

"What!" What Xiao Mu said just now was like a thunderbolt in the clear sky, which shocked Lai Zongdao and Wang Chengen to an overwhelming extent. Especially Wang Chengen, this is the first time he has heard of this matter, if the emperor himself said such a thing, let him want to break his head, he would not have thought that there would be such a day, the capital of the Ming Dynasty would be directly targeted by foreign soldiers again - although there have been two such things in the history of the Ming Dynasty, but after all, it was a hundred and decades ago, and it has long become history, Wang Chengen never imagined that he would very likely encounter such a situation in person - according to the emperor, as long as he does not die within the next year, you will see it with your own eyes.

Although Lai Zongdao had heard the emperor mention such a question once before, although he was also suspicious at that time, in the end, he just thought that the emperor was really guessing, but he didn't expect that it was very likely that this matter was true, and the emperor had already known about it. Therefore, the situation in Zong Dao was not much better than Wang Chengen, and he was almost speechless in shock.

Among the several listeners, only Lin Yi was the most calm, after all, she had known what Xiao Mu had said, and it was not a secret to her. In addition, what Lin Ye had been worried about just now was that Xiao Mu would tell the identity of the traverser, but now Xiao Mu was not stupid, and "justly" said such a "little thing", which did not meet Lin Ye's original expectations at all - this original expectation was too high, so the matter of Huang Taiji's troops coming to the city in the future was not so important. So Ringo's mood at the moment was not so much shock, but a little happy and relieved.
