21: Your Majesty, in the past, the minister had no choice, but now, the minister wants to be a good person
Powerful ministers, loyal ministers, traitorous ministers......
It seems that every adjective can be applied to Cao Zhengchun's body.
But every time I thought I knew Cao Zhengchun well, I found that it wasn't the same thing.
Even Liu Jin, who stayed with Cao Zhengchun for the longest time every day, was also a little confused.
Although Cao Zhengchun is willing to use his own head to guarantee that Duan Tianya will not insult the face of the Heavenly Family, this matter is very wide-ranging, after all, the person concerned is still the beautiful Princess Lixiu sent by Izumo Province to kiss.
So it's clear that this matter won't be left alone.
Zhu Hou looked at Cao Zhengchun and said, "Duke, since you are willing to use your life as a guarantee, then I will let Duan Tianya go for the time being, however, the seriousness of this matter is not up to me alone, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty also need me to give them an explanation, so this matter is not something you say to let it go, there must always be a time limit." ”
At this time, Zhu Houzhao once again returned to his true character as an emperor.
Lin Li obviously also knew that it was a bit of a fool's dream to protect Duan Tianya with his own words, Zhu Houzhao could let it go here, but the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty obviously would not let go of this matter, they needed an answer after all, an answer that satisfied everyone.
If he hadn't crossed over, with Cao Zhengchun's temperament, how could he go to protect the world.
But the current Cao Zhengchun is not the original Cao Zhengchun, he controls the direction of the entire plot.
So he responded to Zhu Houzhao again, "Your Majesty, give the minister half a month, and after half a month, the minister will give everyone a satisfactory answer." ”
"Nope."
Zhu Houzhao directly shook his head and vetoed.
In the face of major rights and wrongs, Zhu Houzhao will not give face to anyone, and he does not need to give face to anyone.
"Your Majesty."
Seeing Cao Zhengchun's pitiful appearance, Zhu Houzhao didn't have a soft heart and said, "Although Izumo Country can't be compared with my Daming, but they grew up in the grassland, and I'm recuperating now, I Daming must not hurt the people's livelihood anymore, Princess Lixiu is also the princess of Izumo Kingdom, and now that something like this has happened, it's not that I say that Duan Tianya is innocent, but you should understand what I said, right?" ”
Lin Li had to nod and say, "The minister understands." ”
Zhu Houzhao said, "Since I understand, I will give you three days, and after three days, I need a satisfactory answer, otherwise, I will carry your head to see me." ”
it!
Zhengde, you dog emperor, you have shortened the fifteen days of labor and management to three days all of a sudden, you are deceiving people too much...... Even if Di Renjie is alive, it can't be said that three days is three days, you and I Lin Li are really detectives......
Well, although he did know that there was a trick behind this matter, Lin Li had to show that this matter was very difficult to complete, otherwise if he looked relaxed, he would only give Zhu Houzhao and Zhu Ignorance the clues.
With such a tight time of three days, you Cao Zhengchun can actually walk around with a leisurely face and say, are you the mastermind behind it?
Where did Lin Li go to say wrongs at that time?
This matter itself is not led by Lin Li, and even the Iron Courage Shenhou has already done the investigation of the affairs of the Izumo Kingdom, but now there is still this kind of mistake.
Either the first Zhuang in the world is incompetent, or the other party's means are more superb.
As a bystander, Lin Li could only show a pitiful appearance and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister is not the six doors, nor is it Dali Temple, the ability to light a cigarette and distinguish grievances is beyond the reach of the minister, can the emperor give the old minister more time?" ”
Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but look at Cao Zhengchun with some playfulness, and then said, "Then Dugong, how many days do you need?" ”
Lin Li said, "It will take ten days for the minister. ”
Zhu Houzhao said, "Ten days is too long, no." ”
Lin Li said again, "Then it's seven days?" Is it okay for the emperor to see it? ”
Zhu Houzhao said again, "Seven days is too long, don't do it, so let's do it, I will give you one more day, limited to four days." ”
Seeing that Cao Zhengchun wanted to speak again, Zhu Houzhao said directly, "Don't bargain with me again, otherwise I will never joke with you for the first three days." ”
Lin Li's expression changed, and Zhu Houzhao said in his heart, your bargaining ability is too high, right? You can't give a little discount at all, and you can't give two more days of grace for fifteen days? How did he beg in the end to just add a day to the original foundation, stingy, it didn't make people feel comfortable at all, it was too unkind.
In the end, Lin Li had no choice but to say quietly, "The minister obeys the order." ”
What the son promised, the word of the Son of Heaven, what else could Lin Li do? I pretended to be forced, so I could only grit my teeth and respond.
Who made you the Son of Heaven?
The way to be a minister is not to conform to the Son of Heaven.
Harm.
He is really a loyal minister.
Lin Li thought in his heart.
However, Zhu Houzhao saw Lin Li's deflated appearance like this, but he didn't hide his good mood and laughed.
Just at Zhu Houzhao's heartless smiling face, Lin Li almost had the idea of rebellion in his heart, that is, simply 'destroy the Ming Dynasty', the task is simple and easy, and it is too easy to manipulate Zhu Houzhao, a 'plaything' child.
But fortunately, Lin Li finally endured.
Others may be kind enough to comfort when they encounter such a thing, but this kind of thing falls on Zhu Houzhao, don't expect him to be able to shush you and ask for warmth, it's already very good if he doesn't make matters worse, Zhu Houzhao, the dead child, has completely inherited the shortcomings of the kings who have been killed over the years, sometimes not to mention Fusang, Izumo, or Xiaori...... The Mongolian people who have a good life, even among the hundred officials of the Ming Dynasty, at least half of them think in their hearts that it would be great if Emperor Zhengde died violently one day......
You see, Emperor Zhengde is so unpopular with the people.
But laugh and laugh, make trouble, don't joke about Zhengchun.
After Emperor Zhengde laughed, he finally couldn't help but pat Cao Zhengchun on the shoulder and said, "Dugong, you said you, isn't it good to be a bad person?" How could you not think of going to Uncle Royal's spies? Your great future, are you really going to end it in the hands of a spy? ”
Duan Tianya's face changed slightly.
Lin Li also looked at Zhu Houzhao helplessly, and said in his heart, Your Majesty, you don't have to say this in front of Duan Tianya, right? You'll lose a loyal courtier...... People are your brainless fans, and if you play with him like this, you will slowly become black fans eventually.
As for the question raised by Zhu Houzhao, not only did he want to know what Cao Zhengchun was thinking, but Zhu ignored it and set his eyes on Cao Zhengchun.
"Your Majesty, the minister didn't have a choice before, but now, the minister wants to be a good person."
