Chapter 21 The mountain rain is coming

Coming to the apse, Emperor Chongzhen stretched his waist and breathed a sigh of relief, he was really a little hungry this morning, and it was really not easy to do this thing! But now the cow doesn't drink water and presses his head, and there must be troublesome things in the future. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor!" Wang Chengen saw that Emperor Chongzhen was in a good mood, and hurriedly bowed down and said: "This matter has been completed, the emperor has a heart!" ”

Emperor Chongzhen nodded, although the things behind him are still very troublesome, but now he stands up to the righteousness and passes this matter in the court, even if the things in the back are troublesome, they will not be troublesome, and he made a good start, and Emperor Chongzhen's heart was relieved.

"I'm a little hungry, let people prepare some food and send it to Kunning Palace, I want to have breakfast with the emperor!" Emperor Chongzhen touched his stomach and said with a smile.

"Slave and maid, let's prepare!" Wang Chengen nodded, and took people directly to the imperial dining room, and he had to arrange the breakfast himself this time.

Emperor Chongzhen went to have breakfast, but the news of the new deal spread throughout the capital in an instant with the end of the early dynasty, and no one expected that things would go so smoothly. The assistance of King Hui and Dingguo Gong made things very simple.

When the news came out, countless people were in an uproar, and many people were shocked, it was like an earthquake.

Although there were different voices, they were much quieter than expected, after all, this was something that passed through the court.

Shi Fenglai's mansion, a member of the Cabinet University, has just returned home and changed his clothes, Shi Fenglai does not have to go to the cabinet to be on duty today, but there is a lot less trouble, you don't have to think about it to know, today's cabinet is not a small trouble, just sat down and drank a sip of hot tea, the housekeeper came in to report.

"Master, Master Li is here!" Seeing that his lord's face was pale, the housekeeper was a lot more careful when he spoke.

Glancing at the housekeeper, Shi Fenglai sighed, the person who can still be found at this time is naturally Li Kuilong. After pondering for a moment, Shi Fenglai still spoke: "Let him come in!" ”

After a short time, Li Kuilong walked in, his face tense, and his expression was very worried.

After saluting Shi Fenglai, Li Kuilong sat down and said, "My lord, things have come to this point, what should we do?" Is it just watching? The tone of his voice was already a little impatient, and it was obvious that Li Kuilong was a little dissatisfied with Shi Fenglai.

All localities have their own guilds in the capital, all of which were established in the name of the township party, among which the Huguang guild hall, the Jiangsu-Zhejiang guild hall, and the Shaanxi guild hall are all very famous. As soon as the news of the spread of the land came out, these halls received the news.

The township party composed of these local gentry, landlords, and merchants was too powerful and influential.

As soon as he got the news, he found Li Kuilong and expressed strong dissatisfaction with Li Kuilong.

They all knew in their hearts that the implementation of Shuncheonfu was only short-lived, and once the benefits were highlighted, it would be implemented throughout the country. When the real thing comes, it will be too late, and this matter must be nipped in the bud at the first time.

This time, the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Guild Hall sent someone to find Li Kuilong, although Shi Fenglai was not found, but it was not far away.

Glancing at Li Kuilong, Shi Fenglai picked up the teacup and took a sip gently, and said slowly: "Then what do you want to do?" ”

Shi Fenglai's words were not very polite, and he directly asked Li Kuilong, his face turned red, and finally he had to say: "Then we can't sit still, do you look at it like this?" A lot of people have come to us, and it's not just us who are involved in this matter. ”

"You also saw the scene in the court today, the nobles and the imperial family all agreed, and the emperor is obviously fully prepared!" Shi Fenglai said directly: "Even the courtiers, Sun Chengzong and they have also stood up and agreed, what can we do?" ”

"Sun Chengzong!" Li Kuilong gritted his teeth: "He's not afraid that those people in Donglin will find trouble with him?" ”

Shaking his head slightly, Shi Fenglai said in a deep voice: "Looking for trouble with Sun Chengzong? Did it work? If the emperor really wants to keep Sun Chengzong, what can they do? Wei Zhongxian is not obvious, how many people have impeached Wei Zhongxian? The result? Hasn't Wei Zhongxian been at large for so many years? ”

"The current emperor's attitude is very resolute, and the people who support him in doing things will definitely protect him to the end!" Shi Fenglai took a deep look at Li Kuilong.

"Even if you go to impeach Guo Yunhou and impeach Wen Zhenmeng, so what? Isn't it something to be done yet? Unless you can replace Wen Zhenmeng, you can delay a little time, but Wen Zhenmeng is a member of the Wen family, what is their family like, you don't know yourself, can you have a handle in your hands? ”

"Some small problems, before the emperor arrived, the celebrant called you back!"

When Li Kuilong saw Shi Fenglai's appearance, he immediately knew that he couldn't count on it, but he still said unwillingly: "Then just watch?" Let things go your way? ”

Shi Fenglai waved his hand: "No way, tell those people, don't think about making trouble, even if it really makes trouble, then the court will definitely have a large army to quell the rebellion, and the heads will definitely be killed." Don't think that the current emperor won't kill people, but he didn't get to that point. ”

"Your Excellency, you mean?" Li Kuilong's face changed slightly, and he said in disbelief: "No! ”

"Won't?" Shi Fenglai snorted mockingly: "You look, the emperor will definitely recruit a group of people to pull over and open the knife, it is not clear who to find, but there will definitely be people who are unlucky, although the trick of killing chickens and monkeys is short, but it is the most effective." ”

The living room fell into silence, and after a while, Shi Fenglai said to Li Kuilong: "Kuilong, the two of us have been friends for many years, and I won't hide anything from you, and when the wind and waves subside, I am ready to return to my hometown, and the emperor will give me a good arrangement!" ”

"My lord, why do you say that!" Although he had long thought that Shi Fenglai would do this, he didn't expect to come back so quickly, and he really heard it from Shi Fenglai's mouth, which made Li Kuilong still have an unreal feeling, and his heart instantly bottomed up.

With a deep sigh, Shi Fenglai said: "After this turmoil subsides, there will be no more people left in the court, take a step early, and you can get out of the way, if it is late, I am afraid that it will end up very badly, and now the emperor has let us be here, it is nothing more than to let us carry the black cauldron, endure the anger of the scholars, and be regarded as the target of the public, as a shield." ”

"Once things are on the right track, the emperor will not give us people the credit for the implementation of the new policy."

"The people who come up in the future will have to be in the cabinet for many years, and if they can't come up, they will make too many enemies, which is also the emperor's protection for them, and the sacrifice is naturally us. Once the matter is over, and those of us don't know it, the end will definitely not be good. ”

Li Kuilong fought a cold war, and looked at Shi Fenglai's gaze with a deep admiration, he didn't realize that Shi Fenglai's vision was so long-term.

"Kui Long, listen to me, don't get involved in these things, support the emperor's policy in a high-profile manner, and then seek a vacancy as soon as possible." Shi Feng looked at Li Kuilong and said in a deep voice: "It's best to be a governor, it's really not good, it's okay to be a political envoy, don't stay in the capital." ”

"Although the political envoy is a little smaller, it is a feudal platform and half of the territory, which will benefit you a lot." Shi Fenglai looked at Li Kuilong with both eyes: "When you get to the place, you will directly ask the emperor to implement the apportionment into the mu, and it is best to change the place of service to the second in Shuntian Mansion." ”

"Do your best to do it, implement it, serve for three years, do it well, a six-part book will definitely not be able to run away!"

Li Kuilong's heart moved, constantly thinking about Shi Fenglai's statement, he came to persuade Shi Fenglai, how could he become persuaded instead?

"You're still young, you're going to plan for yourself!" Shi Fenglai said quite seriously: "Wei Zhongxian is the sword hanging over our heads, when this sword will fall, no one knows, I have also noticed a little rumor recently, Jinyiwei and Dongchang are investigating this matter." ”

"Although the saint is young today, his cards are not messy, and he can feel some temper after a few things. If you don't move, once you move, it's thunder, if you want to hold yourself, then you must first make yourself useful, understand? ”

Seeing that Li Kuilong still looked hesitant, Shi Fenglai sighed helplessly: "Think about it yourself, I'll do everything I want, no matter who is asking you to come to me, tell them a word, I can't do anything." As he spoke, he stood up: "Okay, you go back!" I'm going to the cabinet to have a look, although I'm not on duty, but as the head of the cabinet, at this time, I'm here! ”

When he came, he was full of indignation, and when he went back, he was depressed, and he was talking about Li Kuilong's state.

Although he didn't figure it out along the way, Li Kuilong still felt that he should do what Shi Feng said, after all, Shi Fenglai has been very good to himself for so many years, and at this time, he doesn't need to lie to himself, it won't do him any good.

When he came to the cabinet, Shi Fenglai found his place and sat down, since he decided to be a backstabber, he had to have a serious attitude.

In the next few days, although the capital was unremarkable on the surface, there was a trend of mountain rain coming in private, and it seemed that the calm before the storm would not last long.

Inside the palace, Emperor Chongzhen looked at the twists and turns, and said to Wang Chengen: "Has it been this kind of twist and turn in the past few days?" ”

Since the last early dynasty, there have been more twists and turns in the impeachment, including Guo Yunhou, Wen Zhenmeng, and even Lu Xiangsheng and Li Banghua, and for a while these people seemed to have become the target of public criticism. Even Sun Chengzong's matter in Liaodong was also mentioned, and it was turned over and overturned, and various arguments made that Sun Chengzong was not qualified to be the secretary of the military department.

In addition, he participated in the impeachment of cabinet scholars, and several cabinet scholars were about to be scolded out of Xiang, among which Shi Fenglai was the first to bear the brunt, Wei Zhongxian's lackey, and the words of Wei Jiage were also repeatedly mentioned. (To be continued.) )
