Liu Juesi was overjoyed and praised repeatedly:

"This plan is very good, Zhang Xiang's words woke up the dreamer."

Zhang Sizhi laughed a few times but said: "Although this plan is good, it is like playing cards, and it can't be played lightly." ”

Liu Juesi's heart moved, and he hurriedly asked, "Please Zhang Xiang make it clear!" ”

"Why does the Holy One want to protect Li Xin?"

"Since this son can fight well, and now he has the merit of recovering Taiyuan, maybe he will go south to clean up the chaos in Kaifeng!"

"Yes! If the lord of the Jin Dynasty marries Li Xin, Li Xin will be the guest of honor, and the rules of the court are there, how can he lead the troops for the saint again? ”

Liu Jueston felt depressed, if Li Xin became a guest of honor, he would be equivalent to a horse, and he could no longer participate in court politics, let alone be in charge of the army, how could the emperor agree?

"Lord Liu doesn't have to be frustrated, so I taught you not to play this card lightly, a good card is played at the wrong time, it will become a bad card!"

Listening to Zhang Sizhi's words, there was another deep meaning, and Liu Juesi felt hope in his heart again.

"So, when will I get this card out?"

"You can only fight when the Holy Lord and those who are poor in governing Li Xin want you to fight!"

To put it bluntly, it is waiting for the most suitable opportunity, Liu Juesi thoughtfully.

If this is the case, it is really a double win, and the ministers of the DPRK and China have always disliked Li Xinqi, and they all feel that he is too arrogant and arrogant, which is really a big hidden danger for the imperial court, and if it is not contained, sooner or later he will act unscrupulously.

No, marrying the lord of the Jin Dynasty to Li Xin is killing three birds with one stone, one of them, removing hidden dangers, it will inevitably get the support and understanding of most courtiers. Second, to meet the hope of the emperor to protect Li Xinzhi, although it is slightly insufficient, it can also be considered in the long run. Third, appease the King of Jin. In the end, everyone is happy, and although it is not perfect, it is a great golden mean.

After leaving Zhang's mansion, Liu Juesi took sick leave and hid at home, preparing to let all parties in the court show their abilities first.

Sure enough, almost overnight, the impeachment of Li Xin came in a frenzy, and the person who held the bull's ear turned out to be Yang Sichang, a cabinet scholar and the military affairs of Baoding, Shanxi, and Henan provinces. This is extraordinary, as the leader of a faction who wants to impeach someone must first lead with a lowly person, and then join the crowd, and the person who is the head of a faction should be able to focus on the key points, attacking and retreating.

Yang Sichang did the opposite, but the old foxes in the court understood that he was very inward, and took the lead in impeaching Li Xin for violating etiquette and religion to prove to the emperor that he had been targeting Li Xin out of public intentions.

With such a strange thought, Zhu Youzhen ate this set, not only did not hold him accountable for the Yellow River break, but also encouraged him to solve the Henan thieves as soon as possible, so as not to disappoint him again.

Zhang Sizhi secretly sneered, although Yang Sichang returned to another game, but if the war in Henan was not handled well, he would disappear from the list of cabinet ministers forever, and he was one step closer to the first position in the cabinet.

Of course, a large part of the reason why Zhu Youzhen downplayed the responsibility for the situation in Henan was because Li Xin won a great victory in Shanxi, which strengthened his belief in the victory of the thief, so he gave Yang Sichang a second chance.

In the final analysis, Yang Sichang, who has repeatedly plotted against Li Xin, has to thank Li Xin, if it weren't for the Taiyuan victory, Yang Sichang would probably be on the way to Beijing at this moment.

Therefore, Zhu Youzhen, the son of the great tomorrow, became more and more impatient to send the will of rewarding Li Xin to Shanxi as soon as possible, in order to comfort this brave general who was dedicated to the public, and to make up for some of the regrets that he had doubted before.

In the cabinet hall, a group of cabinet ministers are discussing how to deal with the emperor's decree again, if there is no such thing as disrespecting the prince of Jin, the reward Li Xin can be passed in principle, and no matter how bad it is, the emperor can be forced to give a discount.

But now Li Xin is suspected of a case of immorality, and the bitter master is still the daughter of the King of Jin, and the King of Jin is in hot pursuit. Among them, the Qingliu faction, represented by Fan Fucui, believed that it was necessary to clarify the canonical punishment in order to show that the imperial court attached great importance to etiquette and religion.

"Li Xin is suspicious, but the saint insists on rewarding him, such a thing that violates etiquette and religion, he is confused for a while, even if this son has the intention to save people, but the wood is already in the boat, we can't turn a blind eye, we can't watch it as courtiers!"

Fan Fucui proceeds from the overall situation, and must appease the heart of King Jin, so it is not a big deal to sacrifice Li Xin, not to reward him for the time being, even if this article is exposed, there will be an explanation to all parties. As for the future, how will the emperor reward him, and who can use this matter as an excuse to manage it anymore?

Xue Guoguan immediately echoed, "I am waiting for the king's fortune, and we must be loyal to the king's affairs, but we can't give in lightly!" Otherwise, the saint will be at a disadvantage! ”

The words are high-sounding, in fact, if Yang Sichang doesn't speak, he won't intervene, take care of this stall, after all, it is related to its interests, the cabinet has achieved an unprecedented consensus on the matter of refuting the emperor's decree, but Zhu Youzhen is desperate to reward Li Xin, and the cabinet will refute one, and he will continue to send the next one, see how long these courtiers can refute?

Where is it so easy to refute the decree, several old ministers who refute the decree of this seal are soft-handed and weak-legged, except for Fan Fucui and Xue Guoguan, everyone else can't hold on to learn from Liu Juesi and take sick leave.

The bigwigs of the court are fighting, and they are blindly mixing with something, can't they hide if they can't be provoked, it's a big deal, let's not wait, and then come out to see things after this limelight has passed.

The remaining Xue Guoguan and Fan Fucui were extremely resolute, they couldn't give rewards, and they couldn't issue orders, unless the emperor sent a decree to Shanxi, they would never stop them. However, without the central decree of the cabinet vote, this kind of reward has no legal effect, and Zhu Youzhen naturally will not do this kind of behavior of playing with children.

So, the drama between the emperor and the ministers is still continuing, and the decree is still being sent to the cabinet hall across the wall of the Wenhua Palace, and the two ministers are still refuted as usual. There are so many important events in the court, and they have been delayed by this incident, is it worth it?

Zhu Youzhen chose Liu Juesi to be in charge of the case because he had a distance from several major forces in the DPRK and China, and he would not be biased, and he could use him to take the lead at critical moments. Who knew that this guy actually became a turtle with a shrunken head, so he had to go into battle shirtless, and personally topped the minister with the respect of the emperor.

In the end, both sides have been riding tigers, if the emperor is soft, where will there be prestige in the future, and the cabinet will be slightly dissatisfied in the future, won't it become commonplace to refute the decree? Fan Fucui is the same, he is dedicated to the public, he has a clear conscience, how can he be as unprincipled as a minister, if he compromises, even he will despise what he has done, although he will become Yang Sichang's vanguard in Xue Guoguan, but he has no hesitation.

The battle of political opinions, and finally the battle of will. In fact, all that is needed on both sides is a step.

In contrast, the Jin Wangfu, who was originally shouting and shouting to kill, became an outsider, and the plenipotentiary who came in place of the King of Jin was the eunuch who actually lived in a simple place.

Although Liu Juesi took sick leave at home, he had always paid attention to the movements of the imperial court, and the emperor was so happy to see the top of the cabinet that he was shocked. Suddenly, the housekeeper quietly came closer, "Master, the note sent by Zhang Xiangye's house." ”

Liu Juesi's heart moved, and he took the note and couldn't wait to open it. I saw only two words on it, "out of the cards"!

"Prepare the car!"

Didn't the old man call himself sick, wouldn't it be a gang to prepare a sedan chair to go out? The housekeeper asked puzzledly, "Master, is this?" ”

"Enter the palace, face the saint!"

Liu Juesi said categorically, as if he was answering the housekeeper, and seemed to be talking to himself.

……

"Let the county lord of Jin marry Li Xin?"

Zhu Youzhen, the eldest son of tomorrow, looked at Liu Juesi in front of him with a strange look, and he suddenly felt that this was an excellent step. Moreover, since the reason for the indecent behavior of the county lord marrying Li Xinyi cannot be established, there is naturally no such thing as punishing the crime, which is acceptable. But then he realized another problem, once Li Xin became the prince's son-in-law, according to the rules, he could no longer participate in court politics, and the military power had to be handed over. But he still has to wait for him to suppress the thieves and kill the Tartars, if Li Xin is put on the shelf, what use do you want him?

Therefore, the emperor was about to blurt out that he agreed to this law, but at the same time, he hesitated. However, after all, there is no better step, and after pondering for a long time, I finally nodded, and as for other things, I will discuss it later!

"What do the ministers think about this?"

Liu Juesi saw that the emperor was relieved, and finally landed with a hanging heart, and hurriedly replied: "Long live Qijuan, I think it can be discussed!" ”

Negotiable, the current implication is that there are some details that can be compromised.

"According to what Liu Qing said, summon the ministers!"

Xue Guoguan and Fan Fucui were summoned from the cabinet hall to the Wenhua Palace, which was the first time that the emperor had summoned them for many days.

Zhu Youzhen's idea is that the county lord can get married, but the current battle must be finished by Li Xin for him, and when the world is peaceful, he will naturally let him put his horse in Nanshan, which is the bottom line.

But Fan Fucui may have been accustomed to the emperor's bull topping, and he actually brought out the ancestral system again.

"The county lord marries Li Xin, which is a joy, but Li Xinshang is the county lord as a guest of honor, and the guest of honor is generally not allowed to participate in court politics and horses, and the military power cannot be in hand, long live the reward......"

Zhu Youzhen immediately interrupted Fan Fucui's words, "The county lord will marry and reward them together!" ”

Xue Guo saw that the emperor's face was getting more and more ugly, and felt that it would not be a matter if the stalemate continued, so he decided to persuade Fan Fucui and stop there.

Unexpectedly, before he could speak, Fan Fucui said again: "Long live, to be honest, the minister also thinks that Li Xin's indecency has a reason, but after all, the king of Jin is the face of the heavenly family, and the ancestral system cannot be violated, if he can get the best of both worlds, the minister does not want to be this annoying role." ”

These words are really from the bottom of his heart.

Note: Yibin, the prince of the Ming Dynasty and the son-in-law of the prince of the county are the guest of honor.
