"Isn't it just an accidental fire, this kind of thing, not to be held accountable, but to speculate on the way of heaven...... Your Majesty, this is not a sign that the Cabinet has the upper hand. "www.biquge.info Wei Shui entered the palace, and the first thing he said after seeing Zhu Houxi" was "Wei Shui.

Zhu Houxi wanted to be the first to talk to Wei Shui, but he had no choice but to be preempted. At this time, hearing him say this, he immediately changed from helplessness to joy, and the expression on his face became happy, "Mr. Wei, you can tell me more specifically." Obviously, it was the cabinet that attacked me, and I was completely powerless to fight back, so why can it be said that the cabinet did not have the upper hand? ”

Wei Shui had already thought about his argument with Zhu Houxi before arranging for someone to deliberately set the fire, and at this time, he immediately replied: "Your Majesty, the matter is actually very simple, and the reason is easy to figure out. If the cabinet has the upper hand, it will inevitably be stuck in His Majesty's neck on the court's government affairs, and it will never take the gods and ghosts as a matter. On the contrary, they are poor in donkey skills, and at this time, it is possible to use these chasing wind and shadows, some of which are not, to pull with His Majesty, in order to find a breakthrough. In this way, isn't it because the cabinet does not have the upper hand? ”

Zhu Houxi listened to it, and immediately felt that what Wei Shui said was very reasonable. So, he hurriedly asked, "Mr. Wei, do you have any good solutions?" Now they all talk about gods and ghosts, saying that I was condemned by the wrath of God because I wanted to give my biological parents a honorific title, what does Mr. Wei think? Is that really the case? ”

Hearing this, Wei Shui immediately scoffed, "Your Majesty, it's just something to catch the wind and shadows, how can it be serious!" The cabinet will use this little trick of carving insects, so can't we use it? He said that the Qingning Palace was on fire because His Majesty added the title in vain, so His Majesty could also say that the Qingning Palace was on fire in the opposite direction, which clearly means that the cabinet does not respect the monarch's father and disregards human ethics, making it difficult for His Majesty to be filial to his parents! That's why Heaven will be wrathful and will send down fire. ”

"But......" Zhu Houxi said with some hesitation, "Mr. Wei, if you say so, wouldn't it be just a tug-of-war between me and the cabinet, and wouldn't I be endlessly entangled in this issue?" ”

"Your Majesty has misunderstood, since the grass people have said it, of course there are countermeasures." Wei Shui looked like he was in his chest, and said to Zhu Houxi, "If you can avoid it, you can avoid it, and even if it is a tug-of-war, it is Your Majesty who has the upper hand." After all, when His Majesty decreed to give Emperor Xingxian and Queen Xing's family honorific titles, the heavens were not angry. On the contrary, after the cabinet refuted His Majesty's holy decree, seeing that His Majesty was powerless to fight back against the cabinet's methods, the heavens sent down a fire and burned down the important Qingning Palace. Isn't that ironclad proof? Isn't it obvious why the heavens are angry? ”

Zhu Houxi's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he clapped his hands and smiled: "It's good now, those old ministers in the cabinet always use these things to make noise." In the past, it was a last resort to put Mr. Wei in prison. Now that you've been released from prison, I'll get rid of your guilt and give you an official title! When the time comes, you will be able to ......"

"Your Majesty." Wei Shui interrupted Zhu Houxi's words in time, "Listen to the grass people." The current state of affairs is the result of a compromise between His Majesty and the Cabinet. The grass people don't have the intention of being officials, they just want to make themselves and the people around them live comfortably. Your Majesty doesn't need to worry about the identity of the grass people, but it is a matter of the current situation, and Your Majesty needs to deal with it properly! ”

Zhu Houxi listened, and suddenly felt that Wei Shui was thinking about himself. Thinking about it, Wei Shui has always considered problems from his own point of view, but the old ministers of the cabinet have disregarded their faces and frequently embarrassed themselves. Zhu Houxi couldn't help but feel that instead of letting those old ministers occupy high positions but not be able to do it, it would be better to push someone like Wei Shui to become the first assistant, how happy would it be?

Of course, this is just a thought.

In the Ming Dynasty, non-Jinshi did not choose Hanlin, and non-Hanlin did not enter the cabinet. Wei Shui is a common man with a criminal record, not to mention Jinshi, not even a child, how can he be able to enter the pavilion and be elected to Hanlin?

Sighing a pity in his heart, Zhu Houxi cheered up and asked Wei Shui, "Then I don't know what Mr. Wei thinks?" How should I deal with it, and please Mr. Wei speak up. ”

Wei Shui pretended to be pondering, and after a while, he replied: "Your Majesty only needs to do a few things now, first, issue an edict to admit your mistakes......"

"Admit your mistake?!" Zhu Houxi couldn't help but wonder, "Mr. Wei, weren't you still saying just now that this is all a matter of the cabinet?" Why should I admit my mistakes? ”

"Your Majesty, the grass people like to play chess the most in their lives, although they don't play well, but they understand some truths from it. For example: it is beneficial to give up the car when you have the momentum, but it will not succeed if you abandon the child first. Another example: he is strong and weak and must defend both, and he is weak and I am strong and can run amok. The meaning of these two sentences is exactly the current situation of His Majesty. His Majesty seems to be in power, but it still belongs to his strong and weak situation, since His Majesty can't choke the seven inches of the inner one at once, he might as well wait for the enemy and quietly accumulate strength. And at this time, it is not a good thing to gain a slight advantage, give up some small interests, and exchange for the other party's mistakes? ”

Zhu Houxi reacted very quickly, and he understood as soon as he said this, "So, Mr. Wei, if you want me to admit your mistake first, you have to put on a posture." I have already admitted my mistake, and the cabinet should be magnanimous. If they chase after them no further, they are wrong! ”

"Your Majesty is gifted and intelligent, and he is rightly thinking." Wei Shui complimented him slightly, and then said, "Your Majesty's admitting your mistake is just the first step. Although it is not His Majesty's fault that the anger from heaven has fallen, this article cannot be used unless it is absolutely necessary, because when it is said, it is like a child playing at home, not to mention the fact that it has reduced its value in vain, and it will not get any tangible benefits. After admitting that he missed it, in the second step, didn't the cabinet say that this was all caused by His Majesty's mistake of wanting to add the word 'emperor' to Emperor Xingxian and Queen Xing? Yes, just by default. His Majesty only needs to tell the cabinet that the honorific title can be omitted. But for the matter of the title, it is not necessary to change it, but to be called clearly. ”

"Explicit salutation?" Zhu Houxi didn't quite understand.

Wei Shui immediately explained: "Your Majesty, what do you think, now, in the court, above the historical books, Your Majesty has no conclusion about Emperor Xiaozong, Emperor Xingxian, and Queen Xing. Since the cabinet is holding on to it, we might as well play a trick. Let's call Emperor Xiaozong the ...... of the Imperial Examination."

"How can this work?!" Zhu Houxi didn't wait for Wei Shui to finish speaking, and immediately jumped out to veto, "If I am like this, don't I recognize the cabinet's statement?" ”
