The sky was as black as ink, the clouds rolled like lightning and silver snakes, the thunder roared and shook the earth, and the torrential rain poured down on the layers of the Forbidden City

Deep in the garden, in a nondescript two-story attic, the wind and rain poured in through the open windows, whining and whistling, adding to the mystery of the night.

A bolt of lightning struck... After passing through the sky, the sky and the earth were bright and snowy, and only then did I see a thin young man standing in front of the window, his faceless face, like a stone carving, looking straight ahead, and suddenly sinking into a darker blur. In this short moment, it has already been clear that he is the current Emperor Wanli!

However, the emperor did not wear the dragon robe representing the Ninety-Five Emperor, but the ordinary blue eunuch uniform. In the middle of the night, the young emperor was not in the dormitory, but dressed like this, hiding in such a secluded place, definitely not to enjoy the rain.

He went to great lengths to avoid a pair of dark peeping eyes today, in order to come to see someone. The emperor has been there for a short time, but the man has not yet arrived, but the young emperor does not have any anxiety and still waits patiently. He looked up at the unfathomable sky in the pouring rain, and thought in his heart: "All the celestial phenomena represent the mood of the heavens, so at this moment, the anger and roar of the heavens are annoying the "Son of Heaven, what about the unscrupulousness?" Or is it hating the great rebellion of the minister?

Seeing that the great events were approaching day after day, the emperor's heart was becoming more and more burning, and he was restless, he always felt that things would not be as simple as he thought: besides, in addition to the loss and silence, there must be a big chaos in the court, and it will not be cleaned up when the time comes...... This one by one problem, there is no way to deal with it in my heart, but it must be solved, because if one is not properly placed, the king of ten thousand times will not succeed in seeking to be a horseman!

Under the cold wind and rain, Wanli's mind finally calmed down. If there is any disagreement between the eighteen-year-old Zhu Yijun and the sixteen-year-old, it is to be more calm and calm, learn to think carefully before acting. In fact, he has only been depressed for a short month in the past two years, and the paranoid factor in the blood of Emperor Zhu does not allow him to be depressed for a long time. It was also from then on that his hatred for Shen Mo was raised to the level of killing intent, and for the next two years, he was only doing one thing, and that was to plan to get rid of the lost Shoufu Shen Mo!

He still clearly remembers that two years ago, when Zhang Siwei gave himself a lecture on the Book of the Later Han Dynasty, he commented meaningfully on the Han Emperor who ascended the throne at the age of eight: "The Emperor is gifted and intelligent, and he can understand the world at a superhuman age." It's a pity, this emperor is too sharp, and he accused the powerful minister Liang Ji as an "arrogant general" who was hated by the Liang clan to the bone, and secretly used poison cakes as bait to die in a horizontal death..., in the end, Zhang Siwei sighed and said, "It's really regrettable"

Wanli had already realized that he lacked the assistance of a think tank, so he could only rely on Zhang Siwei to assist him to retreat left and right, and after Sun Hai came in, he asked: "I also want to ask sir, that Liangji is so tyrannical, which has harmed the emperor, but why didn't he take the throne and become the emperor?" ”

"Because of where the Qing Dynasty is," Zhang Siwei said lightly: "Coupled with the fact that the Eastern Han Dynasty has not yet exhausted Wang Mang's past, Liang Ji has to have some scruples." ”

Wanli was reluctant to believe it: "I see that Yi is always against me, how can he help me?" ”

"That's because Qing Yi thinks that the emperor has something wrong. But in any case, you are the rightful son of tomorrow, and this is the greatest right. Zhang Siwei said with a smile: "If someone really dares to touch your ninety-five position, there will be countless people who are not afraid of death and rush out to defend the emperor!" ”

Baili paused for a long time, and then asked softly: "Even in terms of the quality emperor, what is the best policy?" ”

Zhang Siwei pondered for a while before replying: "Judging the evil of the situation at that time, and making enemies on all sides, it has offended the anger of the people and lost people's hearts. If you can look forward to the opportunity, be wise and foolish outside, accumulate death warriors inside, recruit virtuous ministers, and support Qing Yi, when the time comes, you can punish a few wrestlers. Wanli listened, and couldn't help but feel a little relieved.

"However, the one in this dynasty is not like Liang Ji" Wanli finally couldn't suppress it: "It's like Yi Yin, and the last time it's Huo Guang." ”

"Your Majesty's right." Zhang Siwei nodded and said: "But you don't have to be too jealous of him, the biggest thing in this big tomorrow is you, not his ......" "So, can I make a clear decree and announce his sins to the world, even if I can't kill him, I can exempt him from the people, right?" "This is the most ideal solution for all generations.

"It won't work." Zhang Siwei poured cold water and said: "Ming issued an edict, the six departments will definitely exercise the right to refute, and the ministers will also veto it." With a slight wry smile: "I'm afraid even Weichen is no exception." ”

"I remember that the will to dismiss Gao Gong in the past was also refuted, but he was not ashamed of himself and insisted on going."

"What Gao Gong relies on is just the emperor's grace, as soon as the first emperor goes, he will become a tree without roots, and he can't make any trouble." Zhang Siwei said: "The reason why that person is comparable to Yihuo is because his power is not actually due to the emperor, but his inner and outer henchmen are as dense as Luo, and the two capitals and thirteen provinces are his protégés and former officials. Once he insists on not going, the matter will become big, and there will definitely be an incident, and the consequences will be unimaginable.

Qi, Li, and Ma, three words said: "These three generals each command 100,000 troops, and the Beijing Division of Environmental Sanitation is the only one who looks at his horse." With these capitals, it is not a fool's dream to do things that are abolished. ”

Wanli's face was pale, and he felt chills on his back. He remembered the situation of his cold war with Shen Mo, although he had not torn his face, but in fact he had broken his grace. After listening to Zhang Siwei's words, he realized how reckless and risky he was. I can't help but be afraid... I really take myself too seriously, but I don't know how many emperors have died in the past dynasties? Far away, in this dynasty alone, there are three emperors, Renzong, Xuanzong, and Wuzong, who died strangely and abnormally, who dares not to be murdered?

"Then, is there a way to get rid of him and not mess with the society?" After a moment of composure, Wanli asked.

"The emperor asked a little bit." Zhang Siwei's approving leader said: "In Weichen's humble opinion, there are three strategies. ”

Wanli's eyes lit up, and he leaned back on the chair and said, "I want to hear it in detail." ”

"Although his power is great, his weakness is also obvious, the life and death of the gang are tied to him alone, once he disappears from this world, those people will not be able to make trouble without their loyal masters, and no one will be martyred for him." Zhang Siwei said: "Therefore, we can select chivalrous martyrs to take advantage of their unpreparedness to cover up and kill, and if the success is done, the emperor will issue a decree to clearly disclose their crimes, and if they fail, they will be blamed by Weichen." But this is called beheading without asking, and killing the minister without permission. Although that person has Sima Zhao's heart, but his rebellious deeds are too few, and the plan to cover up and kill will definitely mess up the dynasty.

Damage the image of the emperor, and there will be trouble in dealing with the aftermath in the future. So here's the way to go! ”

Wanli thought for a while, shook his head and said: "That person's subordinates are like clouds, and they are heavily guarded, once he escapes and descends to the sky, isn't it dangerous for me?" Moreover, it is difficult to recruit many die-hard people for a while, and if it fails, it will be even more difficult to succeed in the regeneration plan, which is too dangerous. "The matter of recruiting dead soldiers can be handed over to Weichen." Zhang Siwei said: "As long as the palace gate is closed, can he still intervene in the same party and fly?" "Don't take any risks unless you have to. Wanli shook his head and said, "Please talk about the middle strategy." "The middle strategy is to choose a festival for the emperor, feast the ministers in the palace, and then kill him with a glass of wine!" Zhang Siwei said: "Weichen knows a poison that uses Thunder Fordii as the main ingredient, which can be delayed for one to two days, and when he dies of poison, the emperor can completely push it clean and not cause trouble." "That's a good idea." Wanli said movingly: "What else is the best policy?" ”

"His hometown still has his father alive, if he can manage to make him die, because with Zhang Jiangling's experience, even if he has the ability to reach the sky, he must obediently return to his hometown to mourn his father (mother)." Zhang Siwei said: "Although he must accept Zhang Jiangling's lesson and take care of his father. But the big truth that doesn't fit into the ears is that there are only a thousand days to be a thief, and there is no thousand days to prevent thieves. As long as we are patient and hide ourselves, we will always have an opportunity! "Well, if others keep the system for three years, he will have to keep it for the rest of his life." Wanli said happily: "This plan is very good, if it can be done, he can also lift a stone to hit his own feet, and give me a bad breath!" He immediately clapped his hands and said, "Sun Hai, this important matter will be handed over!" ”

Sun Hai, who had been listening honestly on the side, said bitterly when he heard the words: "The inner factory is still too nèn, so I am afraid that I will leak the news and miss the emperor's major ......" "useless tools" Wanli thought about it, but he really had no one to believe, so he could only look at Zhang Siwei and said: "Is there a candidate for Mr.?" "During this time, Weichen contacted some chivalrous people, and they all hated that person for bullying the king, and they were willing to do anything for the emperor!" Zhang Siwei was obviously confident, and paused and said: "It's just that in this way, Weichen will definitely leave an infamy in the history books." "Regardless of the thoughts, it is really shameful to assassinate the innocent relatives of officials.

"Sir, there is no need to worry, how can a mere corrupt prejudice erase your social merits?" Wanli said: "Again, after he goes, he will be my first assistant, which is also what it should be!" Zhang Siwei waited for the emperor's words. Although he is ranked as the second assistant, he has never forgotten that he is thousands of miles away in Jiangling, and there is a master Zhang who the emperor relies on, so he has to work hard for half a day and take such a big risk, but he made a wedding dress for Zhang Juzheng, right?

"Thank you to the emperor for the anointing, and Weichen will not hesitate to break his bones!" Zhang Siwei said with a grimace.

…… One...... Mouth...... One...... One...... One...... One...... One...... One...... One...... One...... One...... One...... One...... One...... One...... One...... Mouth...... Mouth...... One...... One...... One...... One...... One...... One...... One............ One...... As soon as the monarch and ministers made a plan, Zhang Siwei recruited dead soldiers, and after strict training, some of them lurked in Shaoxing, Shen Mo's hometown, waiting for an opportunity to kill his father Shen He Shen. Some continue to train in case the best of the best strategy fails.

Giving the order to Zhang Siwei, Wanli felt a light burden on his shoulders, and he really relaxed for half a year. But half a year later, there is still no news, every time he sees Zhang Siwei, he can't help but ask in various ways, but the mystery he gets is the same every time. Zhang Siwei told the emperor,

Although he had expected that Shen Mo would adopt a protective method for his father, he did not expect that the security method would be so powerful. So that no matter where Shen He goes, he will always be in a very high level of light and shade care, so that people will not go down at all, and then Zhang Siwei will always comfort the emperor Don't worry, he will definitely compare the opportunity.

Wanli has no other way but to choose to believe him, then wait for another year and a half, Shen He, who is thousands of miles away, is still alive, and Zhang Siwei's people have not even done a test. Even if you are patient, when you encounter this situation, you will feel hopeless.

This made Wanli really depressed, until more than two months ago, when he heard the actors singing "The government is by the Ning family, the sacrifice is the widow", the emperor finally couldn't bear it anymore, and he ordered Zhang Siwei to either kill the lost Shen He quickly, or implement the middle policy set at the beginning!

Zhang Siwei's tenacity was a great anomaly, and he was not forced by the emperor's pressure to order the people lurking in Shaoxing to forcibly get out. Because he knows that you only have one chance! And as time went by, the guards around Shen He had already shown signs of laxity, and he himself went out frequently, which greatly increased the possibility of presenting opportunities.

However, seeing that the emperor was so resolute, Zhang Siwei also felt that it was okay to take a two-pronged approach. In the nearly two years that he was looking forward to, he didn't know how many times he had thought about it, so once he decided, he immediately came up with a plan, taking advantage of the opportunity of the Duanwujie and the birth of the Empress Dowager Chen, to kill someone Shen in one fell swoop! So the configured wine was sent to Sun Hai, and everything was waiting for the arrival of the Duanwujie. Wanli would give wine to Shen Mo at the banquet......

But through careful observation in the past two years, Wanli has found that Shen Mo is surprisingly cautious, and the water he usually drinks and eats are all provided by his own subordinates. And when you enter the palace, you don't get a drop of water, let alone drink. So when the time comes, even if it is given by himself, even if it is the realgar wine that must be drunk on the fifth festival, if he is greedy and does not drink it, what should he do?

And it's been many days since the plan was set, what if the news leaks?

After thinking about it, the emperor decided to temporarily change the plan on the eve of the plot, and he didn't even tell Zhang Siwei! He just said to Zhang Siwei that he wanted to meet the warrior who died for him tonight, and communicated with him about the details.

Zhang Siwei felt that it was also reasonable, so he said to Sun Hai, the emperor only needs to wait somewhere, and the person will find it himself. Wanli felt that it was inconceivable. But when I think about it, how can I complete my task without some real skills?

was thinking wildly, when he suddenly heard the sound of going upstairs, and then the personal eunuch reported in a voice: "Your Majesty, that person is here." ”

Seeing that the person had really arrived, Wanli couldn't help but feel nervous, and secretly blamed himself for being reckless as an informant, he only brought a few entourages, in case this master, who could even come and go freely in the palace, had bad intentions towards him, wouldn't he want to die unjustly? @
