The Shen family's servant was presented to the palace early the next morning, and when Emperor Wanli learned about it, he was overjoyed at first...... Everyone knows that with Zhang Juzheng's experience, Shen Mo will definitely have to go home obediently. The mountain that weighed on his head was finally leaving, how could the emperor not be happy?

However, as soon as the excitement passed, he felt a burst of hair in his heart...... The hatred of killing his father and not sharing the sky, he can be regarded as a silent and unending death. Thinking of this, the emperor immediately sat restless, and finally couldn't help but ask Zhang Siwei, who was acting as an assistant, to come to discuss in the name of discussing state affairs.

Zhang Siwei learned the news of Shen He's assassination yesterday evening, and he was stunned when he boarded, and he didn't have the joy of being about to turn positive at all. Shì invited him to dinner, but he had no appetite, so he only asked someone to bring a bowl of ginseng soup, and sat in his study, pondering the impact of this incident on him.

Since Longqing entered the cabinet in the second year, Zhang Siwei has been a university scholar for 12 years, and it is said that he should be a big man in the world, but this Zhang Xianggong of Puzhou, Shaanxi Province, has almost no sense of existence in the minds of the government and the opposition. In the eyes of outsiders, he was simply not a scholar, but a superior secretary, so much so that some officials ridiculed him as a "companion in the book" and thought that he was just born and lucky, and had no respect for him.

In fact, it wasn't like this before, before the Pavilion, he was also a cadre who dared to act and say everything, and he was quite famous among the government and the opposition. But after entering the cabinet, his brushes are small compared to Gao Gong, Shen Mo, and Zhang Juzheng, who are either wise and close to demons, or powerful and iron-fisted giants. As long as any of these three people are there, he can only clamp his tail, and everything is only the superior horse. Zhang Siwei has the shrewdness of a Shanxi businessman, he judged the situation and put away his political views and propositions, and everything was only the superior's horse.

In the past few years, his image in Shilin has completely changed, and everyone in the officialdom, whether it is Qingliu or a follower, regards him as a mediocre person. For Xiao Zhang Xianggong, who is modest on the outside and arrogant on the inside, it is really painful. In the first years, this kind of pain was still endured, in addition to the flattery of Gao Gong, he was also submissive in front of Zhang Juzheng, and of course, he did not dare to slack off at all for the not so strong silence.

But as time went by, his endurance had reached the limit, especially when he thought that the current assistant was silent, he was ten years younger than him, Zhang Siwei could no longer hold back his stupid ambition, if he didn't want to be a second assistant, he couldn't wait silently any longer, he had to take the initiative to attack and grab the position of assistant!

Although he knows that he is not a silent opponent, he firmly believes that in this Ming Dynasty, the minister can not fight the king, as long as he stands on the side of Wanli, then no matter morally, or in the final result, he will be the winner.

Just like Zhang Juzheng's love affair, he thought about his own interests, and never wanted Zhang Juzheng to continue to call him in the pavilion. However, as soon as the emperor was willing, he did not hesitate to go up to the tǐng to win affection.

This is his deliberate move to become Yang Bo's successor, the head of the huge Shanxi Gang, Zhang Siwei will naturally not be a mediocre person. He saw the situation very clearly, Zhang Juzheng's reform violated the interests of too many officials and gentry, and now he finally has a chance to let him go, and everyone will not let it go. At this time, if you do the opposite, you will be scolded by everyone. However, the horizontal and vertical officials no longer regard themselves as dishes, and Suo Xìng showed the support of the emperor with chariots and horses.

In this way, when all the officials oppose the emperor, they can show their loyalty even more. Since ancient times, it is better to add Hua than to send charcoal in the snow, and he will inevitably become the white cloud charcoal when the little emperor is trembling......

At that time, Zhang Siwei's only concern was a silent attitude. So before going to the book, he deliberately went to the Shen Mansion to ask for advice, and even did not hesitate to throw out the original words of the little emperor to please Shen Mo.

What else can be said by silence? It can only be said that you just obey the order.

For Zhang Siwei, the final result can not be said to be better, although the emperor did not hesitate to stay, Zhang Juzheng did not avoid the fate of returning to his hometown, and he was not shocked to replace the second assistant of the cabinet: and the emperor always believed that the opposition of the ministers was because Shen Mo was behind the instigation, and the contradictions between the two sides were further deepened.

The only beneficiary was Zhang Siwei, who not only took advantage of this incident to replace Zhang Juzheng and become the emperor's confidant. He also used the comet to persuade the emperor not to force Zhang Juzheng to stay, so as to avoid the conflict between the monarch and the minister. created a glorious image of himself turning the tide, and saved a lot of points from hundreds of officials.

If before, when dealing with the relationship between Shen Mo and the emperor, he still stepped on two boats. But through this incident, he was determined to become a hardcore royalist! Because he has seen clearly that the emperor wants to personally govern and be the kind of prince of society who will do everything himself. However, under the hostage of silence and officials, Wanli can only continue to be the kind of "shadow emperor" who is sincere and tired.

However, Zhang Siwei firmly believes that the low ebb of imperial power is only temporary, and as the emperor grows, sooner or later he will definitely remove the stumbling block of silence. Of course, if you want to do this, the little emperor can't do it alone, and you need to help yourself. However, he definitely did not want to charge for the emperor and become the object of silent revenge, what he hoped was to incite the emperor to take matters into his own hands, and he would only help in secret, and try to avoid igniting the fire, so that there would be room for maneuver in the future.

At the beginning, he gave the emperor three strategies, one of which was to send people to infiltrate Shaoxing, waiting for an opportunity to assassinate Shen He, forcing Shen Mo to worry. But there is a saying that "people's hearts are separated from their bellies, and words are divided into two layers", especially the words of a scheming politician like him, you must know that the background of Zhang Siwei when he said this was that when the emperor was hit one after another and his fighting spirit was declining, he had to cheer up the emperor, so he let go of the cannon, saying that it was not difficult to extinguish the silence, and he had three strategies, and any one of them could succeed.

In fact, Zhang Siwei knows very well that today's silence is almost invincible, and the only place that can eliminate him is the palace, but Zhang Siwei only said that it was the middle policy, but instead said that sending someone to assassinate Shen He was the best policy, because he saw through the emperor's suspicious and cowardly nature, and knew that Wanli did not have the courage to get rid of Shen Mo himself, and he would definitely choose to assassinate Shen Mo's father, this kind of indirect method without doing it himself.

There is another layer, which is high psychological tactics. Although he obviously wanted the emperor to do it himself, he couldn't express this meaning, because His Majesty the Emperor, who was born with a noble nature, would not charge forward like a stupid boy.

Maybe the transformation energy was fooled for a while, but when you think about it, you can think about it...... Oh, you are pinching me and silently, do you want the parrot to compete with the fisherman for profit? Once the emperor thinks like this, then he doesn't want to use him anymore.

That's why Zhang Siwei made the assassination of Shen He without the emperor's action the best policy, and took it all over. This face of a loyal minister who does not shy away from infamy and worries about the monarch really convinced the Wanli Emperor, who was still very naïve, and waited for his good news day after day.

However, Zhang Siwei knew that unless Shen He died of illness, the emperor would not be able to wait for the day when Shen He was silent. Because he knows very well that with the strength of silence, if he wants to protect a person, basically no one can hurt him. What's more, in order to protect Shen He, he even sent his own guard commander back, and the degree of attention can be imagined.

Moreover, Zhang Siwei has no intention of doing it himself. No matter how fierce the fight is, the disaster will not affect the family, this is an unspoken rule of officialdom, even if it has been trampled on by many people secretly, but no one dares to do it in the early Ming Dynasty. The reason is very simple, everyone has a family, and if you dare to deal with others like this, they will dare to kill your whole family. Judging from the comparison of the strengths of the two sides, Shen Mo wants to kill his father, which is definitely much less difficult than him killing Shen Mo's father, so even if it is for his own father, it is impossible for him to kill Shen Mo's father......

Although in order to fool the emperor, he sent people to Shaoxing. However, he told the people sent out that they must not be violent, safety first, patience, and if the opportunity is not good, do not act rashly If it were not for the emperor sending people from the inner factory to monitor, Zhang Siwei could directly say to them, go to Shaoxing to play for two years, and there is no need to do anything.

Under the guidance of this kind of thinking, nearly two years have passed, and it is not surprising that Shen He is still alive and kicking, and the killers he sent out have not been violent. As for Emperor Wanli, he listened to the feedback of "being well-guarded and unable to start, and finally lost confidence and patience in assassinating outside the palace."

At this time, Zhang Siwei asked the eunuchs in the palace to perform "Huayue Cihuan" for the emperor, and let the king in the play stab the sensitive emperor fiercely. As expected, Wanli "retreated to the second" and decided to implement the middle strategy and kill silence in the palace!

Seeing that the conflict turned back between the emperor and silence, Zhang Siwei finally breathed a sigh of relief. Later, the situation was not satisfactory, the emperor did not use wine, but sent assassins, although he did not immediately kill Shen Mo and on the spot, but also seriously injured him.

Zhang Siwei estimated that after this time, even if Shen Mo recovered, and the emperor would be in trouble to the death, he would not have the face to stay in Beijing anymore. Of course, it is not excluded that Shen Mo was confused for a while, and wanted to learn from Wang Mang Huoguang, so Zhang Siwei would be happier, because the chaotic ministers and thieves, everyone was punished, and the certainty of his victory was not smaller, but bigger. a。
