Lord Huang was confused, and could only complain, but there were still people in the capital who understood.

In the study of Zeng's mansion, the old housekeeper Zeng Lu was bowing down and reporting: "Master, the method that Gongzi Xie came up with is really good, now the public opinion in the capital has changed greatly, and many people are already praising the emperor as the Shengming monarch, this time I returned to Beijing, it seems that Gongzi Xie can survive safely." ”

Zeng Jian bowed slightly, and said: "Xie Xian's nephew is really extraordinary, this move is like a fantasy, it is indeed a stroke of genius, with the old man's view, all the adults in the court were also caught off guard, and they were all a little caught off guard." ”

Zeng Lu looked at his face, but saw that although his lord praised him, there was no joy in his tone, but the worry between his eyebrows did not decrease at all, and he couldn't help asking: "Master, since this is the case, what is there to worry about?" ”

Xie Hong's plan was implemented through Zeng Lu, and no one in the capital noticed that it was the Zeng family's teahouse that first started to engage in this model, so Zeng Lu was clear about the whole process and appreciated it very much.

"Although Xie Xian's nephew is talented, he is young after all, and he has never entered the court, so he doesn't know much about the scholars and doctors in the court." Zeng Jian sighed and explained: "Although public opinion is important, it will not have any impact on the resolution of the DPRK and China. ”

"But ......," Zeng Lu was a little puzzled, "If you don't care, why do you keep issuing edicts to reprimand Shuntianfu?" It is said that the reprimand is also more severe than the other, and Huang Fuyin is about to be dismissed. ”

"Hehe, isn't Shuntianfu here to be used for this?"

Zeng Jian smiled bitterly, the characteristic of the position of Shuntianfu Yin is that the management is very wide, in addition to the security and government affairs of the capital, Shuntianfu also has the qualifications to undertake complaints from all over the country, which is almost equivalent to a small criminal department.

However, in many matters, Suncheonfu does not have the power to make the final decision. What can participate, but the power is not decisive enough, which determines the biggest special surname of this official position, that is, the black pot of the surname of the often.

The situation was the same now, although the adults in the court were very angry, and felt that these rumors had lost the dignity of the scholars. But on the other hand, no one who opened a teahouse at home gave up the current review, and besides, who opened a teahouse is not a secret, and many people in the DPRK and China know it, why did no one give up?

Of course I don't care.

It's not so much that these people are greedy for the popularity of their own teahouse, but that they don't pay attention to public opinion at all. Zeng Jian has been in the court for many years, and he still knows the mentality of the scholars and doctors very well.

Of course, they want to have a good reputation among the people, enjoy a clear name, and seek to be famous in history, but everyone knows that whether they can leave a name in history or not, the reputation of the people is only one aspect, and the more important thing is that their own power and wealth can be extended.

Only when the wealth is not declining can we really leave a name in history, and the history of the youth does not have to be written by the historians? And the historians, aren't they the Hanlin? If you don't have wealth, who cares about you, isn't Chen Shou, who repaired "Three Kingdoms", just asking the descendants of the characters involved in the biography to polish the pen?

As long as future generations are rich and prosperous, what is it to leave a name in history! If not, if you want to count on the folk word-of-mouth, hum, under the eons of China, how many people can rely on this to leave a name? Even if he was a bad minister back then, after the power declined, wasn't he criticized by the historian as useless?

Therefore, although scholars and doctors like to flaunt themselves among the people, everyone knows in their hearts that it is unreliable. Relatively speaking, it is more important to discuss Shilin Qing, and compared to the so-called public opinion, what can be relied on in the end is the authority in his hands and the net worth of Wanguan.

Zeng Jian was very clear about such an idea, and his explanation was also very clear, Zeng Lu lost his initial joy after hearing it, and he was also worried, "But, master, even if the adults in the court don't care about public opinion, they will always have some scruples, right?" ”

"Scruples?" Zeng Jian shook his head and sighed: "I'm afraid that it may not be, maybe it will arouse the anger of the scholars, maybe it will arouse the anger of the scholars, and in the eyes of the scholars, Xie Xian's nephew's behavior is completely contempt for the scholars." ”

"Then why didn't the old man stop the villain in the first place?"

"It's just a matter of surviving in death, the path chosen by Xie Xian's nephew is already difficult, and now it can only depend on his fate." Zeng Jian raised his head and said in a deep voice: "As long as Your Majesty can insist, the courtiers will eventually throw a rat trap." ”

"Can Your Majesty?"

Zeng Lu was very bottomless in his heart, not to mention His Majesty today, even if he was the first emperor, if he and the courtiers' opinions were to the left, most of them would have to back down. And now, the court is full of old ministers, the three scholars are ministers who care about their lives, and the emperor is not as weak as the crown, from the description in the letter of Young Master Zheng, it seems that he is also uncertain, can he hold on?

"Now, we can only look at his creation." Zeng Jian sighed heavily again.

…… There are a lot of people in the capital, and while Zeng Shangshu is lamenting, there are people in another part of the capital who are angry.

"Presumptuous, simply presumptuous!" Lord Zhang slapped the table case heavily, and there was a letter on the table.

"Teacher, please stop your anger, Your Majesty is young, but you are just instigated by a few ministers, when Your Majesty returns to Beijing, the disciples and others should serve themselves, for the country's society, for the great tomorrow, and for the teacher to get rid of this bureaucracy." A young man dressed in a seven-grade robe stood beside Lord Zhang, and when he saw that Lord Zhang was angry, he persuaded him, and his tone was quite arrogant.

Lord Zhang's anger calmed down slightly, picked up the letter on the table again, and sighed heavily: "Alas, the Daming Society has been so calamitous, Your Majesty is so nonsense as the Son of Heaven." Just sneaking out of Beijing is something that has never been done since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and now there is such a movement, the old man is really ashamed as an auxiliary minister. ”

"Teacher, it's just a rumor in the city, if the disciple goes to the table for impeachment first, and bans the teahouse and Shuiliao in Beijing, if you lose these places, the rumors will have no place to stand, and they will slowly dissipate."

"What a rumor, the old man is worried about the system of the heavenly family." Master Zhang shook his head, put the letter on the table, and said to the young man beside him: "Moon Scar, if you come to see this letter, you will find out." ”

"Yes, teacher, the disciple has trespassed." The young man bowed in response, then picked up the letter and looked at it carefully, and after a few lines, his brow furrowed. By the time he finished reading it, his face was already flushed, and he was obviously extremely angry, if he hadn't cared about Master Zhang, he was afraid that he would have to shout and scold.

"Teacher, what Governor Zhang said is extremely true, that courtier Xie Hong of the Xuanfu is really harmful. Before His Majesty went to Xuanfu, he was just a little greedy for playing and playing, but after arriving at Xuanfu, all kinds of actions were like this...... It's unbelievable, not to mention the system of the Heavenly Family, even ordinary officials and eunuchs will never act so recklessly. ”

The military parade, the emperor's strange clothes and all kinds of strange behaviors, in the end, even the Yellow Dragon Flag of the Heavenly Family was desecrated...... All this mentioned in Zhang Nai's letter is indeed indignant for a scholar who follows the rules. The emperor is the Son of Heaven and an example for all the people in the world, and the honor guard of the Son of Heaven is the most important thing!

Now, the emperor is completely ignoring the chaos of the system in the Xuanfu, which is not only a loss of the heavenly system, but also a collective shame for the whole court!

Not to mention that the emperor used folk rumors to let Jinyiwei interrogate the civil officials of the various yamen of the Xuanfu, and finally convicted him. If you can't use the doctor, you don't go through the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Dali Temple, and you will actually punish many high-ranking officials, where are the rules and system?

There is indeed a annihilation by the emperor's side, otherwise he would not have acted so perversely. For the culprit explained in the letter, the young imperial history also hated it.

"It's not just that Xie Hong, but also the Eight Tigers!" Zhang Fuhua's eyes froze, and he said hatefully: "If it weren't for those eunuchs standing beside Your Majesty to bewitch you, Your Majesty would not have rushed out of Beijing, and the Xuanfu affairs would definitely not be able to escape the impetus of those people." ”

As he spoke, he became angry, bowed his hand in the direction of the Forbidden City, and said loudly: "This official is entrusted by Emperor Xiaozong, and he is also responsible for the impeachment of the hundred divisions. ”

"Please rest assured, the disciple should inform all his colleagues of the perverse behavior of the annihilation, and when His Majesty returns to Beijing, he will join forces and make meritorious contributions in one fell swoop."

"Okay, you are worthy of being the old man's disciple, Moon Trace, our official speaker, the merit is greater than advising the Son of Heaven, and the old man will entrust this matter to you. You must do your best, without the slightest concession, so as to complete the whole battle, and return the Ming Society to a bright future. ”

"The disciple dares to disobey his orders."

…… Although the emperor is not in the capital, the court meeting has been canceled, but the political affairs cannot be delayed so much, and the officials of the court and the central government still have to gather together from time to time to discuss together.

On the second day of Zhang Fuhuading's dismissal, after the collegiate discussion, the scholar Li Dongyang found him.

"Lord Zhang, this official has heard that when His Majesty returns to Beijing, the Metropolitan Procuratorate will make a big move?" Li Dongyang greeted him slightly, and then asked straight to the point.

"Exactly." Zhang Fuhua admitted it directly, the actions of the Metropolitan Procuratorate this time were not small, and the other party was a cabinet minister, so it was normal to hear the rumors. However, this time it is not a court fight, but a persuasion to the Son of Heaven to exterminate the Annihilation, which is a major event to fight for fame, and Lord Zhang is not afraid of leaking the news, so he ordered his disciples to act with great fanfare.

"I think this matter is inappropriate." Li Dongyang shook his head and said: "Although Your Majesty is not as weak as the crown, but he is always the Son of Heaven and has his own prestige. Recently, His Majesty's deeds in the Xuanfu have been widely circulated among the people, if there is a ......"

"Elder Li Ge is the second assistant, and he is also the minister who cares about his life, so he naturally has to take care of his identity. But the headquarters is the imperial envoy of the left capital, the Son of Heaven behaves misbehaps, and it is his duty to advise the Son of Heaven, so how can he avoid it? Those rumors among the people will naturally dissipate after the future, how can those nonsense be written on top of Danqing? ”

Zhang Shihua was very unimpressed with Li Dongyang's caution, the imperial history already had the power to play the news, and this evidence, is it not just the news?

"Zhang Butang!" Seeing that the other party was perfunctory, Li Dongyang was also slightly warm, he raised his voice and said: "Your Majesty has a villain by his side, and we and other auxiliary ministers should be persuaded by ourselves, but why should the affairs of the court be shown in front of the people?" If the emperor refuses to back down, how will it end? Is it to damage the prestige of the Son of Heaven, or to lose the dignity of the court? Zhang Butang also asked to think twice. ”

"Don't bother with Li Ge, since this official is in the position of the imperial history of the left capital, he can't sit back and watch the evil villain bewitch the Son of Heaven, as for how to make His Majesty accept advice, this official also has his own opinions." Zhang Fuhua's voice also turned cold, and he categorically rejected Li Dongyang's dissuasion, and said with a mocking voice: "If Elder Li Ge has time, it is better to bother to teach his children." ”

"What do you mean by that?" Li Dongyang was stunned.

Zhang Fuhua smiled and said, "If it weren't for the senior disciple of Li Ge, he would have the name of daring to speak, but ...... Hehe, if this is not the case, Your Majesty may not be able to get out of the mediocrity, let alone what is happening today. With such unscrupulous disciples under the door, shouldn't Elder Li Ge always introspect himself? ”

Zhang Fuhua is in the imperial history of the left capital, if he is promoted again, it will be the time to enter the cabinet. Li Dongyang also heard the meaning of the other party's words, that is, he was jealous of his ability, and he was afraid that the other party would threaten his status after making meritorious contributions, so he spoke in hindrance.

Moreover, Wang Xinliang failed to block Zhengde's exit, and he has always been like a thorn, stalked in Li Dongyang's heart, he is not to blame the disciple for being cowardly and afraid of things, but to blame the disciple for not knowing how to be flexible. But when Zhang Fuhua said this, it seemed that his master and apprentice were overly cautious.

Although Li Dongyang is known for his good strategy, he is actually not a good-natured person, otherwise there would not have been a matter of chasing and beating his uncle Zhang Heling in front of the holy car. He kindly persuaded him, but Zhang Fuhua spoke ill of him, and he was immediately furious, and said abruptly: "In this case, Zhang Butang is free to do it, and the official will not have much to do." With that, he brushed his sleeves and left.

Zhang Fuhua also sneered, he regarded himself as a direct minister, and Li Dongyang was scheming and cautious, so the relationship between the two would naturally not be much better. Moreover, it is a great merit to get rid of the ministers on the side of the Son of Heaven, as long as he has such a merit, he thinks that he will also enter the cabinet for a certain period of time, and where will he listen to people's persuasion?

Not to mention that this matter has also been approved by Liu and Xie, and he has a complete plan, how can it not be done?

Everything is ready, just wait for His Majesty to return to Beijing.
