Zhang Wenxuan made a big move, and went directly to the Hubu Shangshu Mansion to rescue Ma Xuan Fantong, who was covered in bruises from the dungeon, and beat the Hubu Shangshu violently, and finally lived in the Nanlu Manor under the name of the eldest princess Gulun.

The news spread quickly throughout the streets and alleys of the capital.

After getting the news, the big and small officials attached to Li Minwei Ji began to panic, and the one in the deep palace didn't seem to move at all, could it be that Lord Li was beaten in vain?

There are a few people who know who the person behind Li Min is and jointly found Liu Ji, and Liu Ji at this moment is also the first two big. When I first got the news, I wanted to find Li Dongyang to enter the palace to face the saint together, but I didn't expect that Li Dongyang, who was not as old as him and had better body bones than him, had already entered the palace early.

It was only after Liu Ji passed through the Wumen panting with the palace sign that he stuffed fifty taels of Ming treasure bills to the little eunuch who gave the order, and the little eunuch told him that His Majesty now had important matters to discuss with Scholar Li, and no one was seen for the time being.

Liu Ji couldn't, so he had to beg the little eunuch to pass on Wang Zhi, saying that he only wanted to see the governor of Dongchang.

There are seven officials in front of the prime minister's door, not to mention that this little eunuch is a person from the emperor's side. What these foreign ministers are most afraid of is not the military generals with heavy troops, but the ministers who have no real power but can speak in front of the emperor.

The little eunuch ignored and agreed to look for Wang Zhi, but Liu Ji waited for a long time at the noon gate full of blood, and only waited for a reply that Wang Zhi asked the little eunuch to bring: There is nothing to be done.

Liu Ji, who was mourned, returned to his mansion, only to find that the living room was full of people, he was angry, but he still persuaded in a soothing tone: "Colleagues, the old man has entered the palace to face the saint, and things should not have reached the worst yet." Rest assured, let's go back and wait a few days.

Gong Mian is an official of the imperial court, no matter how bold Zhang Wenxuan is, he may not dare to do anything to Gong Mian.

If you want to be worried, I, the master, are a little more worried than you. You go back first, I'll take this matter to heart, and I'll figure it out. ”

The waiter of the Ministry of Works was a young man in his early thirties, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but stand up and say: "Boss Haihan, I thought that this Zhang Wenxuan was bold, and there was nothing in the world that he didn't dare to do. The key is that His Majesty has an ambiguous attitude now, and I am afraid that he will do something to Master Li when the time comes, and the Holy Lord still refuses to let go! ”

"Yes, yes, please ask the boss to mediate."

"Ask the boss to come forward."

Someone came forward, and someone agreed, and Liu Ji didn't even know how to explain it for a while.

It was only when everyone was noisy and shouting that the sound was almost enough to lift the roof that he coughed dryly: "You are anxious, the old man can understand it." But if you are here, you may not be able to save Gongmian from it? Listen to the old man's words, go back and wait in peace for the time being, the old man will find a way.

Zhang Wenxuan is bold, as long as His Majesty doesn't want to chill the world's scholars, then His Majesty will definitely not shield Zhang Wenxuan in this matter. ”

He seems to have some truth in saying this.

It is true that the country of the Ming Dynasty was defeated by military generals, and it is not false that it is guarded by military generals, but after all, these civil servants are indispensable for governing the country. Once the hearts of the scholars are chilled, then the country will not be able to function.

Many people had hesitant looks on their faces, they came to Liu Ji because there was no way, if Liu Ji could come forward, they would be more or less at ease.

I didn't come here to hope that Liu Ji could really find a solution to things, but to ask for peace of mind.

Whether Li Min is dead or alive, they are not so worried, they each sweep the snow in front of the door, and don't care about the frost on the tiles of others, that's all.

The noisy crowd left, and Liu Ji was uneasy in his heart, not knowing what to do. He hoped that the ally would get an explanation before the emperor. After all, the weight of speaking in front of the emperor was much heavier than that of his predecessor, the first assistant.

When he was in power, he was not favored by the emperor, let alone the power center that had left the court.

At this moment, in the Dongnuan Pavilion of the Imperial Palace, Emperor Zhu Youzhu sat on a chair and splashed ink, and next to him stood Li Dongyang, a cabinet scholar with an admiring face.

"Your Majesty, there is a commotion outside, if you don't stand up and say something, I'm afraid it will be difficult to calm down." Zhu Youzhu put down his pen and admired his words with great satisfaction, and Li Dongyang seized the opportunity to say immediately.

Hearing the teacher say this, Zhu Youzhu said with a straight face: "Is Li Min dead?" ”

"Nope."

"Did my tiger brother hurt him?"

"Nope."

"That's not the end, let them toss about this little thing. The longer you toss, the more you need someone to control the overall situation. In this plan, I am not the protagonist, but Brother Tiger is the protagonist. Zhu Youzhu said lightly.

Li Dongyang said with some worry: "It's just that if you can't wipe out those people this time, I'm afraid that there will be a resurgence." Therefore, if Your Majesty can stand up and support Liu Ji and his party at this time, he may be able to achieve unexpected results. ”

Zhu Youzhu shook his head and said: "I can't stand up and support Liu Ji's party at this time, even if the matter is in front of me, I definitely can't consider the problem from the standpoint of Liu Ji's party." Not all of these officials may be moths, some just have different political views. However, these people, without exception, are all stumbling blocks that prevent me from creating a prosperous era.

For so many years, Brother Hu's grievances have you ever said to me?

He didn't say, I didn't ask, let him vent this time! ”

Although he felt that the emperor's words were a bit too child's play, Li Dongyang couldn't find the words to refute it. Zhang Ru is most aggrieved in Fuzhou, he knows best.

Zhu Youzhu said again: "I know that Mr. has plans to make Zhang Wenxuan collapse, and I have always talked about him left and right, just because I don't want to be a ruthless and unrighteous person. With my life, without Brother Hu, I wouldn't know where I would have gotten for a long time. To put it mildly, Mr. has no me, at most he will not be a member of this cabinet, and the courtiers will not be me, at most he will shout long live to another descendant of the Zhu family. But Brother Hu is different, if he doesn't have me, it is equivalent to losing everything.

Relatively speaking, without my husband, I may not be able to relieve the confusion of life, and without the courtiers, there may be other courtiers who will shout long live to my mountain. But without Brother Tiger, I am nothing. ”

Li Dongyang sighed, it turned out that his careful thoughts had never escaped the emperor's eyes.

Having said that, the only thing he can say is to unswervingly carry out the emperor's orders.

Zhang Ru, that is a person that the emperor values very much, and the emperor compares him with the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, which is enough to see his importance in the emperor's heart.
