Zhang Sizhi, who was in a hurry to dare to go to the palace, changed his mind halfway and ordered the sedan chair driver to carry him back to his home. Sure enough, not long after arriving home, some henchmen sent people to send posts one after another, and brought a message from Li Xin's victory to return to the court.

Zhang Sizhi was not in a hurry to express his position, he wanted to see how the emperor reacted to the news that Li Xin suddenly appeared again, if it was the same as treating Liu Yuliang, he could really let Shuntianfu and the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses make trouble with rumors, and arrest the messenger first.

However, there was obviously a subtle change in the emperor's attitude, and a dictation came out of the emperor, and the cabinet was immediately ordered to study how to deal with Li Xin's matter. Zhang Sizhi was a little worried, but then relieved, after all, Li Xin's case of communicating with the enemy is not a child's play, and it is understandable to let the important ministers discuss a charter first.

Zhang Sizhi summoned all the cabinet ministers to discuss the matter with the style and posture of the first assistant of the cabinet, he was still quite hesitant for a while in Liu Yuliang, whether to call this person or not, and finally he sent him to the cabinet hall. After all, Liu Yuliang is still a cabinet scholar, and the emperor has not ordered him to be dismissed from his post and removed from office.

Therefore, in order to make those who oppose him and those who sympathize with Liu Yuliang and Li Xin have nothing to say, Zhang Sizhi pretended to be frank and called Liu Yuliang to participate in the discussion.

What Zhang Sizhi never expected was that the next development of events was far beyond his expectations, and he was inexplicably out of his control.

Among them, as soon as Fan Fucui entered the door, he advocated re-investigating the matter, "Send an envoy to Li Xin's army to re-verify, if the collaborator is false, and his military exploits are true, he should be warmly welcomed to regain the dynasty." Then he said meaningfully: "Since we are the Great Ming Bifu, we must be cautious and cautious, and we must not do stupid things that hurt our relatives and make our enemies happy..."

Zhang Sizhi's face was cloudy, he looked at Li Shi and asked, originally planning to signal him to stand up and take the lead first, and then support himself from the side, so as to defeat Fan Fucui's sharp spirit. Qi therapy, the old man lowered his eyes, pretending not to see Zhang Sizhi's signal, which really made him angry, but it was not easy to attack in front of so many people, so he could only be secretly angry.

Li Shi asked, Li Shi asked, in Pingsuri, you are shaking your head and tail beside the old man like a dog, and now that you encounter a big event, do you want to be a shrunken turtle and make a wall grass? Is there such a good thing in the world, and when this matter is relieved, you will be kicked out of the cabinet. No, it should be kicked out of the imperial court, go back to your Guangdong pension and wait to die.

Others didn't say anything, Zhang Sizhi asked himself if it was not the time for him to come forward, so he waited to see who else was ready to jump out. Sure enough, Liu Yuliang stood up for the second time, "Do you still need to discuss this, the old man guarantees the head of the item, Li Xin is the first merit in Jinzhou, and this Shenyang victory will naturally not be fake." As Fan Xiang said, whether it is true or false, send an envoy to Li Xinjun, investigate and understand, if you insist on going your own way, it is inevitable that you will not do things that will make your relatives and enemies happy..."

Syllable...

Zhang Sizhi immediately slapped the table, but said calmly: "In this way, are you accusing the Holy Lord of not colluding with Li Xin's personal army officer?" Do you mean that the crime of collaborating with the enemy has been false? ”

"This?"

Liu Yuliang was suddenly asked by Zhang Sizhi, and he was speechless for a while. In fact, when he returned to Beijing this time, he never mentioned Li Xin's collaboration with the enemy, and directly said that Li Xin's merits may be the fundamental reason why the emperor repeatedly refused to see him. However, he can't take this risk, after all, the current trial verdict is already in the absence of Li Xin, regardless of whether Li Xin collaborated with the enemy before, I am afraid that he will be forced to have two hearts when he sees the imperial court like this. If Li Xin really collaborated with the enemy or defected to the enemy because of this, and he tried his best to guarantee it, wouldn't he have put himself into it, and the accumulation of officialdom in his life would be ruined.

Therefore, in the face of Zhang Sizhi's questioning, Liu Yuliang was speechless, and he absolutely could not vouch for this matter.

"Since Liu Xiang has nothing to say...... Zhang Sizhi turned his gaze to Fan Fucui again, "What about you?" "This is how Fan Fucui answered, did he let him accuse the emperor of not colluding with Li Xin's personal army officers? couldn't help but sigh secretly, at the moment, this half-sober is something that no one can imagine, who would have thought that Li Xin went to Shenyang to fight again, but the matter has come to this point Once this son learns of the change in the DPRK and China, he is only afraid of ......

Fan Fucui didn't dare to think about it anymore, if Li Xin was really like this, how could the Ming Dynasty be different from self-destruction?

Zhang Sizhi said in his heart, even if he self-destructs? The Ming Dynasty is full of talents, and without Zhang butchers, they still can't eat hairy pigs?

Naturally, the meeting was fruitless and broke up unhappily. As for what happened, the vast majority of people advocated handing it over to the emperor for the Holy Judgment, but the ministers never expected that Zhu Youzhen, the great emperor who had never been lazy once since he ascended the throne for more than ten years, would unprecedentedly claim that he was sick and would not be able to go to court.

The ministers looked at each other in private, what does the emperor mean by this? Just when hundreds of officials were speculating about the deep meaning of the emperor's move, news came out from the palace that the emperor was really sick, and even the recital had been reviewed less in the past few days.

The Son of Heaven is not in court, but the eunuchs in the palace are working harder than before, and the master of ceremonies and supervisors will clean the palace after dividing the work in the hall, waiting for the emperor's summons at any time. Although Wang Chengen was not on duty, he stayed in the emperor's dormitory day and night.

Seeing that the emperor's illness was showing signs of delay, he was so anxious that he rubbed his hands to no avail. But listening to the emperor coughing for a while, but chanting a few lines of poetry intermittently, Wang Chengen's ears were not too bright, and he couldn't hear what he was saying for a while.

Shen Liang, the eunuch who was on duty, came to Wang Chengen's side and said with a worried look: "Prince, why is the Lord reciting Zhou Ruzhai's old poems?" ”

Hearing this, Wang Chengen's eyes suddenly froze, but he was noncommittal. He knew that Zhou Ruzhai in Shen Liang's mouth naturally referred to Zhou Yanru, the former cabinet chief assistant who had been demoted to the house.

Suddenly, a crack opened in the palace door, and a eunuch poked his head out and asked softly, "Is the prince here?" ”

Zhu You summoned Wang Chengen into the palace, Wang Chengen did not dare to slack off, and ignored Shen Liang beside him, and followed the eunuch in. But when I saw the great tomorrow, his head was pale and pale, and he was half-leaning on the couch, surrounded by the music that he had not finished finishing.

Wang Chengen's heart was sour, and he almost didn't shed tears. It is said that the Son of Heaven is rich all over the world, and his wealth is unparalleled in the world, but in his eyes, he is not as comfortable as an ordinary rich man. In Wang Chengen's memory, since the succession to the throne, this great son has never had a day of pleasure, thrift, strict frugality, not to mention, every day to review the official documents of various places often unconsciously is a whole night, so exhausted year after year, there has never been a moment of slackness, but what is the result?

Why is the world still inevitably eroding day by day? Of course Wang Chengen can't figure it out, and he doesn't want to think about it, in his subconscious, this big tomorrow is still a big tomorrow after all, he just hopes that the emperor will learn from the old emperors, and he doesn't necessarily have to bow down to everything, since the old guys in the cabinet are full of energy, some specific affairs might as well be left to them to do.

But these words are definitely not what he can say as Wang Chengen, maybe he will bury these words in his heart for a lifetime, he is just a eunuch after all, if the eunuch takes the initiative to ask about the government, in the eyes of anyone, he will have the heart of chaos, then it will be difficult to end well.

"Come, talk to me..."

Zhu Youzhen looked weak, but he was not bedridden Cheng Dù, which made Wang Chengen feel at ease a little, I hope that tomorrow morning, Long Live Lord's body and bones will heal, he is secretly praying. Hearing that the emperor was going to chat with him for a few words, this was unexpected, so he quickly knelt down: "Long live the dragon body is important, old slave, please take care of the dragon body..."

Zhu Youzhen's tone was unprecedentedly kind, "I know that you are for my good, but if I slack off one day, those silverfish will have to leave all the bones and slag of this court to chew..."

Wang Chengen hurriedly persuaded: "Long live the Lord is too worried, my courtiers are attentive, and the soldiers are hard, how can there be ......?"

Zhu Youzhen interrupted him with a sneer: "You don't have to just pick up good words, I'm not deaf or blind, whether they are for the court or for themselves, I can see it clearly..."

Wang Chengen sighed, he didn't know how to continue, he understood that the emperor's gaffe must be repeated with the changes in the court in the past few days, and the ministers only cared about their own selfish interests and flew and dogs, and took 10,000 steps back.

Of course, these are only superficial reasons, the deeper reason is Li Xin's betrayal, and now Li Xin's soldiers are outside the mouth of the Great Wall of Righteousness, even if he is really meritorious, when it comes to the current situation, how will the emperor deal with it? Sure enough, two words came out of Li Xin's mouth, and it was Li Xin's name.

As soon as he thought of this, Wang Chengen suddenly had an idea, "The old slave listened to the long live lord chant a few verses of Zhou Ruzhai, and the old slave often heard that the old man prayed for the safety and health of the long live lord every day at home. Monarchs and ministers complement each other better than this. The old slave thought that Li Xin was not an ungrateful person just like Zhou Ruzhai, and he was treated with all his heart, and this person had no reason to have two hearts at all. The old slave still thought that Li Xin should dare to act, maybe he would enter Beijing alone in a few days to ask for guilt, long live why should he be bewitched by people with ulterior motives? ”

Wang Chengen can be regarded as open-minded when he said this, although he did not name his surname, those with a discerning eye can immediately hear who he is referring to.

Zhu Youzhen's eyes really exuded a strange figure, Wang Chengen looked at it, and felt that his disguised persuasion might be effective. But he suddenly heard Shen Liang's voice outside.

"Elder Zhang Ge has agreed on the charter... said that he was going to transfer Li Xin to Beijing alone, and then take the opportunity to arrest ......"

But I heard Zhu Youzhen sneer: "This is my good courtier..."
