From the moment the master-apprentice status was established, Tang Yi and Tang Shunzhi have been inseparable, this relationship is even closer than that of father and son, and there are differences in routes between father and son, for example, before Tang Yi's rise, Wang Shizhen was very close to Yan Dang, and Wang Chen was on the side of Qingliu.

But between master and apprentice, there can never be a twist, even if Zhang Juzheng knows that it is more miserable to mix with Xu Jie, but he must follow Xu Jie's arrangement for more than ten years. I hope that the teacher can get through, and I don't dare to wear a Luo skirt to marry someone else.

It is precisely because of the bond between master and apprentice that Tang Shunzhi is the only person who can truly protect Tang Yi, Xu Jie is still separated by a layer of skin, as for Huang Jin, Lu Bing, Zhu Xizhong, although these people are not small, but they do not belong to the civil official system after all, they can only be regarded as allies, beating the side drum.

It was Tang Yi's inevitable choice to let Tang Shunzhi enter Beijing, but in the face of the unprecedentedly complicated situation, Tang Yi was afraid that the teacher would have a strong sense of justice, and he would be impulsive and cause some trouble.

Tang Yi felt that before going south, he had to have a good talk with the teacher, and broke the situation apart, so that Tang Shunzhi could know it in his heart.

"Your Majesty has a famous saying: the water of the Yellow River is turbid, the water of the Yangtze River is clear, the water of the Yangtze River can irrigate the fields on both sides of several provinces, and the water of the Yellow River can also irrigate the fields on both sides of the provinces. The reason why the Yan Party can exist is that His Majesty needs them to collect money, isolate the clear stream, support Jiao cultivation, and act as a shield for slacking off government! ”

In order to convince the teacher, Tang Yi brought out all the words that were heart-wrenching, but fortunately, with his relationship with Lu Bing. Even if it is ten times more serious, it will not reach Jiajing's ears.

Tang Yi was rarely presumptuous.

"Yan Dang also saw through His Majesty's thoughts, and on the contrary, Yan Dang also used His Majesty's thoughts to hide the evil things they did behind the holy will. To create the illusion of attacking Yan Dang is to attack His Majesty. ”

Tang Shunzhi is very smart, although he is very disdainful, but he has to admit that Tang Yi said it to the blood for a while. Many loyal and clear streams, but they can't see the situation clearly, so they become moths throwing fire.

"Okay, Yan Dang did this, didn't Your Majesty notice it at all? You know. His Majesty ascended the throne at the age of fifteen, and at a young age, he dared to fight against Yang Tinghe and other elders alone, and won the battle, can he tolerate such nonsense by the Yan Party? ”

Tang Yi sighed, "Master, people are all changeable, as the saying goes, a tiger doesn't bite when it's old, do you think Your Majesty can still withstand a big ceremony?" If you take down the Yan Party at this time. It is inevitable that Qingliu will fight back and will force His Majesty to move back to Ouchi. Stopping the Jiao cultivation and going to the court to govern the government are all unacceptable to His Majesty. Therefore, the lesser of two evils, His Majesty compromised, and the car did not fall backwards and pushed forward, and it had to get by. Leave all the troubles to future generations to solve! ”

Tang Shunzhi slapped the table with a huff and roared: "It's so irresponsible, it's just a child's play." ”

Tang Yi didn't refute, but sighed: "It's not just a child's play in the past few years, the seeds have been planted since the Great Rites Discussion back then." Master. When the disciple told you this, I just wanted to say that Your Majesty has already become a carbuncle, and any means of attacking the Yan Party at the moment may implicate Your Majesty, and if you don't succeed in fighting the tiger, you will be injured by the tiger. ”

"According to what you say, will the Yan Party continue to bring disaster to the country and the people?" Tang Shunzhi was not convinced, and said angrily: "If you let the Yan Party run rampant for another twenty years, the Ming Dynasty will be finished!" ”

"No, absolutely not! God will take them! Tang Yi suddenly showed a bright smile, and said calmly: "Yan Ge is already seventy-eight years old, his brother-in-law Ouyang Bijin is almost seventy, Wu Peng, the secretary of the ministry, is two subjects earlier than you, and it is not far from Zhishi, the secretary of the military department Xu Yan is not in good health, and he is not able to deal with me well, His Majesty has long looked down on him, but he has to stay in office until now because there is no candidate to replace, and the household department is dull and old, and the household department is empty by him to run the mouse, as for Zhou Yan, the head of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, is mediocre and cowardly, Even the imperial history of his subordinates can't be managed, so how can he take on a big responsibility. ”

Counting one after another, Tang Yi said with a smile: "Although the Yan Party seems to be as powerful as the sky, but as the saying goes, when the water is full, it overflows, and when the moon is full, it loses. They can defeat any opponent, but they can't defeat God! In fact, the fall of Zhao Wenhua this time dealt a bigger blow to Yan Dang than imagined! Zhao Wenhua is not yet sixty years old, if he can sit firmly in the position of the secretary of the ministry, and even enter the cabinet to worship the prime minister, Xu Gelao's age advantage will be gone, and maybe the strict party can really continue to maintain. In fact, Yan Dang focused on cultivating Zhao Wenhua as the leader of the Mesozoic Generation. After all, although Yan Shifan is extremely smart, he is not on the right path of Kejia, and he can be the right servant of the Ministry of Industry, and he has already broken the sky and can no longer be promoted. Yan Song, as well as his wife, are all seventy or eighty, to put it mildly, take off your shoes and socks today, and don't know if you will wear them tomorrow. As long as one dies, Yan Shifan must go home, and at that time, there is no one in the court who can carry the important ministers of Xu Gelao, and it is inevitable that the Yan Party will be purged. His Majesty took a fancy to this point, so he dared to use the method of delaying and waiting for change, waiting for the strict party to wither, and using the lowest cost to achieve the replacement of the court. ”

Tang Yi combined the wisdom of the two worlds to analyze the fate of the Yan Party, which was unconvincing. Tang Shunzhi lowered his head and thought about it, to be honest, when he entered Beijing, he really had the heart to fight to the death, even if he fought for his life, he could bring down the Yan Party, and it could be regarded as an explanation to the people of the world.

Even he brought Tang Hezheng over, not to let his son serve him, but to entrust his son to Tang Yi, and he went to work hard alone.

But after Tang Yi's analysis, Tang Shunzhi had to admit bitterly that the problem of the imperial court was not in the Yan Party, but in Jiajing! It was this Ninth Five-Year Supreme, selfish, greedy for comfort, and delusional desire for immortality, that connived at the cancer of the Yan Party. If the root is not removed, even if the Ming Dynasty falls a strict party, there will be a second strict party, a third strict party, emerging in an endless stream, and loyal and good people will never come out.

Unfortunately, it is easy to deal with the Yan Party, but it is difficult to change the Jiajing Emperor!

Tang Shunzhi raised his head in pain, the green tendons on his neck collapsed, his fists were clenched, his bones were jumping, and a trace of dark red appeared from between his fingers!

For Tang Yi, the more he can see it, the more he understands it. The less chance there is to make mistakes, the more you can stand tall, but for a traditional scholar like Tang Shunzhi who has the heart to serve Jun Yaoshun and help the world. The more you know, the more you know, it's a torment, a moral, and conscience torment.

Only he can overcome this hurdle himself. No one else can help him. Tang Yi silently added two pieces of charcoal to the brazier to make the fire more vigorous.

The red coals reflect two very different faces.

Time passed minute by minute, and after half an hour, Tang Shunzhi's clenched fist slowly let go, and he asked in a tired voice: "Okay, what should I do as a teacher?" “

"Knowing oneself and knowing that the other is invincible, the disciple has already analyzed His Majesty's passive waiting thoughts, and the following is Yan Dang. In my observation, Yan Dang is not willing to be eliminated, and will definitely fight back, especially Yan Shifan, he will vigorously cultivate forces and push his own people into the cabinet, but in my opinion, the probability of success is not great, Your Majesty can abolish Zhao Wenhua, which means that Your Majesty has drawn a red line. It is impossible for the Yan Party to continue to swell. Your Majesty transferred you to Beijing, plus Zhao Zhenji before. Zheng Xiao and others also have this intention, after Li Mo's death, the situation of the strict party's dominance collapsed, and the balance of the court is being restored. As for the other way, it is to seize military power. even supported a prince to seize the heir and put the treasure on the body of the next generation, but the disciples were also not optimistic, Yan Shifan dared to exceed the duty of a minister, and he must have died. ”

Tang Shunzhi smiled. "According to what you say, Yan Dang can only sit and wait to be killed?"

"Nope." Tang Yi shook his head, "After all, the Yan Party is the No. 1 traitor party in the Ming Dynasty, with strong strength and deep hiding, what I can see, the Yan Party may not be able to see." Even if you can win the final victory, you will definitely pay a painful price, and the characters on the stage are very likely to be sacrificed. ”

Seeming to feel a little cruel, Tang Yi paused for a while, and then said: "Now it's time to say that Elder Xu Ge, if he wants to defeat Elder Yan Ge and replace him, he must prove to His Majesty that what Yan Dang can do, he can also do, and he will do better!" In recent years, Xu Ge Lao has been scrambling to write green words, dancing gods, and supporting His Majesty's cultivation of Jiao and alchemy, which is even more obedient than Yan Ge Lao. If you want to defeat the devil, you must become more ferocious, more shameless, and more inferior than the devil, and only the victor is worthy of talking about conscience! Tang Yi smiled bitterly: "Master, one day, you will find that Xu Jie has become the second Yan Song, the so-called clear stream, greedy for ink, and even more ruthless than Yan Dang!" ”

What a painful, what a helpless realization!

Every hot-blooded young person looks forward to changing injustice and injustice, making everyone fair, full of laughter and laughter, and living and working in peace and contentment. I think that I am different from those shameless traitors, and when I get power, I will be honest and spotless......

But after decades of great waves and sands, there are still a few people who can keep their hearts, and when you look back, you will find that you yourself have become the kind of person you hated the most, and you have become the object of defeat and destruction by another group of young people!

The world is like this, the cruelty of red fruits!

Tang Shunzhi belongs to the kind of person who still has a pure heart, but it is precisely because of this that he feels pain.

"Okay, in that case, what are we still doing as officials?" Tang Shunzhi was really confused.

Tang Yi smiled and said, "Master, do you know what the people want?" ”

"Live and work in peace and contentment, and have a happy reunion." Tang Shunzhi looked at his apprentice playfully, and said with a smile: "Maybe there are groups of wives and concubines, who are all eaten and clothed." ”

Tang Yi rolled his eyes, and said in his heart, don't you always make fun of me!

"Master, when my disciple was in Tianjin, I met the countrymen who got up too early to pick up and play in the city to buy vegetables, and they had to get up before dawn, carrying hundreds of pounds of burdens, and walking more than ten miles to the city. What do they think of living and working in peace? When you enter the city, you can collect a few copper less taxes, so that you can buy a head rope for the daughter of the family; On the way here, they can build a bridge, so that they can save money on the ferry; It is possible to repair the abandoned ditch, and even in the year of the great drought, the family will not starve to death......"

"The family and the country are all over the world, and the things in the eyes of the scholars are too far away, like the stars in the sky, although they are beautiful, they are far away. For them, there is no difference between the traitor and the traitor, because a small official below can force their family to be ruined, their wives separated, the county order of the family to be broken, and the prefect of the family. It's not just an empty phrase. ”

Tang Yi said emotionally: "Master, the disciple doesn't want you to take over the ministry, because he doesn't want you to get involved in that kind of boring personnel competition. There is no need to compete with Yan Shifan for anything, as long as the outer city can be built, nearly a million people will have a place to live, even if I want to kill, I don't have to worry about being slaughtered and looted; Moreover, if Tianjin Sanwei is repaired, there will be a hub of communication between the north and the south, the special products of the north will be sold, and the silk and satin cloth in the south will also have a market; The straight road between Beijing and Tianjin will be repaired, the logistics cost will be doubled, and the price of the capital will be reduced by two percent, and the price of the capital is related to the price of the entire north, and the price of the capital will be reduced, and other places will follow, and the people who will benefit will not only be tens of million......s."

Tang Yi said in a very demagogic voice, but Tang Shunzhi had already seen through his thoughts, and couldn't help sneering: "You kid just let me wipe your ass for you, needless to say, it's so good!" (To be continued.) )
