The old man pretended to be displeased, and put the teacup on the table heavily: "Gongmian, you are also not a small one, as the head of the imperial court, if you can't figure out this problem, how will you take on the heavy responsibility in the future!" ”

Li Min buried his humble head even lower, and his voice became even lower: "The teacher's lesson is true, and the public must change it." ”

"Your Majesty, after all, is a soft-hearted person! Sun Jiang's dead ghost said something rebellious, but it happened to enter His Majesty's heart. After all, Zhang Wenxuan is the person who has been with His Majesty for the longest time, and he has overcome obstacles in front of His Majesty in the most difficult times.

Our majesty is soft-hearted and can't bear to do it. The old man was confident.

Li Min panicked: "Then how is this good?" The teacher spent his protégé and secret son to pull Zhang Wenxuan's crime to the top of the rebellion, if His Majesty is really soft-hearted, I will wait for a lot of hard work, wouldn't it be in vain. ”

The old man said lightly: "Gongmian, you are not small, when will you be able to calm down a little." Your Majesty is hesitant now, but as long as Your Majesty hesitates, we have hope. It won't take too long to hesitate, Jiangshan and friends, which one is more important, Your Majesty can figure it out. ”

Li Min nodded with relief: "That's good, that's good." ”

"Okay, for the time being, stay put, pay more attention to the movements in the palace, and let the old man leave through the back door." The old man stood up and said.

Li Min said: "Teacher, it's better to spend one night in the Humble House!" It's not too early, it's dark, but don't let anything happen. ”

The old man said unhappily: "What can happen at the feet of this son of heaven." If the old man stays with you for one night, tomorrow everyone will know that I am the mastermind. When the time comes, if someone thinks about it, they will be able to know who made everything. Do you really think that those nobles are scared by His Majesty by not saying anything now? Do you really think that those old foxes in the cabinet are silent, just because they are bluffed by our momentum?

They're just waiting for an opportunity, a moment for us to show our feet.

As long as we show the slightest hint of horses, they will immediately attack in groups, and the interests of many people involved in shipping are inextricably linked, and it is not possible to explain clearly in one or two sentences. ”

Li Min stopped talking, personally sent the old man away through the back door, and waited until he could no longer see the old man's figure before he closed the door and went home.

Qiu Jun's house.

The seventy-five-year-old cabinet scholar felt a little overwhelmed by the cold wind for several days, but when he heard that a secret letter had arrived, he still asked his son to deliver the letter to him, and after reading it himself, he was completely burned to ashes on the candle flame.

His son Qiu Zhe was very puzzled: "Father, who is the letter, why can't even I read it." ”

Qiu Jun's face was sallow, and he reprimanded: "In the future, this family needs your support, if you are so naïve, how can your father rest assured that the family will be handed over to you." Don't ask what you shouldn't, just do what you have to do. ”

Qiu Zhe said nonchalantly: "You should leave this matter to the second child!" I'm not that material! ”

Qiu Jun said angrily: "You are the eldest son, if you don't hand it over to your younger brother, what kind of system will it become!" I wrote a request for Zhishi, saying that my time is short, and I am afraid that I will no longer be able to serve the imperial court, and I beg Your Majesty to allow me to return to the old Zhishi. ”

"Dad, what are you doing here, and now His Majesty hasn't driven you away." Qiu Zhe's eyes widened, as if he was very dissatisfied with his father's decision.

He was afraid that after his father became a scholar, his life in the capital would plummet, and he was even afraid that his father would insist on returning to the poor countryside of Qiongzhou after his father.

It is said that knowing his son is Mo Ruo's father, Qiu Jun immediately understood what his son meant, and scolded sternly: "If you have to wait until Your Majesty drives people away, then it will be the end of the Qiu family." Leaving now can leave some affection in His Majesty's heart, and if there is anything in the future, there will be room for maneuver.

His Majesty is a good-hearted man, and he will not go too far.

Your father and I have done something for the court, there is no merit and hard work, and the ministers of the court and the central government have not offended much, and no one will deliberately embarrass them. I'm afraid that by the time Your Majesty drives people away, your father will already have countless enemies.

Besides, I know my body, but I'm afraid that time is really running out, rather than dying in the court, it is better to go back to my hometown in Qiongzhou to see, it is better to die in a foreign country. ”

Yes, the cabinet scholar from the remote Qiongzhou Mansion has always believed that he is not part of the capital. He came to the capital for his career, but when he died, he must return to his hometown.

He was born and raised there, no matter how barren it was, it was his homeland that he couldn't give up for the rest of his life.

The panic in Qiu Zhe's heart turned into worry: "Dad, Dad, don't say that, your body has always been strong, you will be fine, you will be fine." ”

Qiu Jun shook his head and said earnestly: "Zhe'er, you two brothers, the most suitable person to inherit the family business is not your younger brother, but you. Although you usually like flying eagles and lackeys, and you like to dance and write, it is better than your younger brother who only knows how to linger in Flower Street and Willow Lane.

You are not confused when you are old, and you should bear the burden that you should bear. Dad is seventy-five this year, and they all say seventy-three eighty-four, and the king of Hades doesn't call him to go. Your father has been snatching it from King Yama for two more years, and that's enough.

Leaving now is a kind of protection for you and your brother.

There are not many people in the DPRK who seem to be enemies of us, but in fact there are not many people who are hiding. Over the years, he has been a father and an official, and he will inevitably offend people.

Remember, if Your Majesty keeps it, you will continue to write until Your Majesty agrees.

If your father unfortunately dies before this, you will immediately take the whole family back to your hometown in Qiongzhou in the name of filial piety. Anyone asks you to go back to Beijing, don't go back to Beijing.

The prefect of Qiongzhou was a student of my father many years ago, and for the sake of my father's face, he would take care of my family.

If you really can't do it, you can write to Zhang Wenxuan in Fuzhou, and at a critical time, he can save the lives of my family. ”

Although he was a little carried away by sadness, the smart Qiu Zhe still asked: "Zhang Wenxuan himself is difficult to protect, how can he protect my family?" ”

Qiu Jun said with a smile: "Don't underestimate Zhang Wenxuan like those ordinary people, this is not a simple character." He was able to occupy a high position at such a young age, and then chose to retreat bravely when he was at his most beautiful. Hiding in Fuzhou for three years, he is well aware of the major events that happened in the court.

If you think about it, he is just a marquis, but he made the two powerful grandfathers of the south and the north affectionately call Wenxuan. The old shameless man in Nanjing, and even called him Brother Wenxuan, could he be a simple character?

Although Liaodong Guqian dismissed the official and left, Liaodong Wuqian has been operating for a long time, and ordinary people really can't move a single soldier in Liaodong. It can be said that the soldiers of Liaodong are not soldiers of the imperial court, but private soldiers of Guiqian.

Datong Chief Soldier Ma Xuan is almost Zhang Wenxuan's disciple, Zhang Wenxuan said one, this person will never say two.

Li Ming of Jizhen can barely be regarded as a person from the imperial court! But as soon as the opening of the sea was opened, this Li Ming and Li General Soldier invested nearly 200,000 taels of silver.

You say, this Li Ming's coffin has been put in, and the imperial court wants to move Zhang Wenxuan, which side will Li Ming stand on? He wouldn't have rebelled, but who could have said he wouldn't have the news?

Zhang Wenxuan has always had a scale.

This kid is a goblin, who can and can't be handed over, he can basically decide at a glance.

Not to mention Xuanfu Zhang An, a rare veteran, the court is reluctant to change. If you don't change it, Your Majesty is also worried.

But why did His Majesty have been under Zhang Wenxuan for so long, and he never thought about moving Zhang An? This is not without reason, these soldiers of the nine sides, to put it bluntly, there are only a few veterans who can control them all, one is the injured Baoguo Duke Zhu Yong, the other is the slippery Wei Duke Xu Li, and the other is the upright Xuanfu General Soldier Zhang An.

Although the Tartars on the grassland said that they would not pose much threat to the Ming border in a short period of time, who knows if the young and ambitious Tatar Khan would suddenly attack after the grassland calmed down.

Once the grassland is in trouble, Daming will definitely fall into internal and external troubles, so Zhang An can't change it.

Among the nine sides, most of the soldiers have a relationship with Zhang Wenxuan, will he fall?

You listen to me, don't look for Zhang Wenxuan, this kid, until life and death are at stake. The boy was willing to help, but never in vain when he helped. ”

His father's thorough analysis gave Qiu Zhe a new understanding of Zhang Ru, and at the same time made him feel that the responsibility on his shoulders began to become heavier.

Qiu Jun, who had made a big call, looked extremely tired, and raised his hand with difficulty: "You go down, I want to rest." ”

Qiu Zhe walked out of the room backwards, breathed a long sigh of relief, and his eyes became deeper.

The three folds were sent to the emperor through the hand of Ma Wensheng, and Zhu Youzhu really kept them three times. But Qiu Zhe reluctantly sent it for the fourth time, and Zhu Youzhu realized that something was wrong.

Recently, he has been very trusting of a little eunuch named Li Guang, and listens to him say some things about Buddhism and Taoism every day. Therefore, he didn't pay much attention to what happened to the ministers of the DPRK and China.

"Wang Zhi, what's going on with this Scholar Qiu?" Zhu Youzhu shouted over Wang Zhi and asked.

Wang Zhi bowed his head and said, "Back to Your Majesty, Lord Qiu seems to be suffering from a vicious disease, and he may be dying." ”

If there is anything in this world that can be hidden from Jinyiwei, there must be nothing that can be hidden from Dongchang. Although Jinyiwei won the emperor's trust under the leadership of Mu Bin, this Dongchang was also very good under Wang Zhi.

"Drive the Qiu Mansion." Zhu Youzhu didn't say a word, and immediately decided to visit this important minister of the country.

Wang Zhi arranged the people to protect him non-stop, and at the same time notified the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division to prepare for the guard.

Zhu Youzhu didn't plan to make a big splash, but Wang Zhi didn't discuss it with him when he did all this, and he couldn't say anything, so he could only let it go.
