Hearing Li Xian's words, Xu Youzhen smiled and said: "Quietly watching the wind and clouds, looking at the world, the temple plan, and the people's suffering, these are all things that people in my generation have lingered about, and they are also things that I have paid attention to." ”

When Li Xian heard this, he opened his mouth and said, "Lord Xu's behavior is really admirable. ”

Xu Youzhen opened his mouth and said with a smile: "The people in the court say that they live in this official and do this ceremony, the old man thinks it is a big fallacy, there are those who live in this official who are mediocre and weak, and there are also those who are vegetarian in the corpse position. It's just that there are many constraints in the DPRK and China, and they always feel that the shortcomings are difficult to get rid of, and they are unable to do their best. ”

Hearing Xu Youzhen's words, Li Xian's heart moved, and he said to Xu Youzhen with some hesitation: "Lord Xu, if you say this, the villain is a little puzzled. ”

"What's the problem?" Xu Youzhen smiled and opened her mouth to ask rhetorically.

"Lord Xu is the head of the cabinet, in the Ming Dynasty, it is also regarded as a person under one person, above ten million people, it stands to reason that no one dares to go against the adult, from the current situation, there should be no one else in the court who dares to be with the adult, how to hinder it." Li Xian deliberately pretended to be puzzled and asked.

When Xu Youzhen heard this, he sighed and said: "Brother, sometimes I really admire you, as long as you go to the ministry every day to draw a picture, you can go around after that, even if you follow the example of Xianyun and Wild Crane, no one will care about you." The old man is different, get up early every day to go to the court, to discuss the temple plan with the emperor, after retiring from the court, he must not rest in peace, the house is full of guests, the traffic is busy, there is an endless stream, some of the emperor's relatives and ministers of the court visited, the old man also had to greet in person, speaking of which, the official name and position are just a virtual thing to see, or not. ”

Hearing Xu Youzhen's words, Li Xian opened his mouth and said: "Lord Li said this, and the lower officials are even more ashamed of themselves, the adults are conscientious and conscientious for the sake of the people of their family and country every day, but the contemptible people only know how to call friends and friends, and make friends with people of three religions and nine streams." Hearing Lord Xu's words today, Li Xian was really ashamed. ”

When Xu Youzhen heard him say this, he said: "Lord Li Xian doesn't have to be like this, if he is not in his position, he does not seek his own government, and Lord Li does not need to be ashamed. Fang Caiwu said these things to Lord Li, just to talk to Lord Li about his heart, as soon as he entered the officialdom, he couldn't help himself. Even if the old man has the power of the world, he is helpless. ”

Hearing Xu Youzhen's words, Li Xian hurriedly said: "Lord Xu said this, Li Xian still doesn't understand a little. ”

When Xu Youzhen heard this, he bluntly said: "There are many forces in the court, and they are intertwined, although the old man is a noble assistant, but there are friends in the court, and there are eunuchs in the palace, and the old man wants to do his will, and there is no way." ”

Li Xian heard Xu Youzhen's words, and knew in his heart that Xu Youzhen must have wanted to tell him about the opponents in the court.

Thinking like this, Li Xian said: "What the adults said is not bad at all, if the government and the country are hindered by villains, things that are obviously easy will become extremely difficult to do." ”

Hearing Li Xian's words, Xu Youzhen quickly grabbed Li Xian's shoulder and said: "Lord Li's words can be regarded as saying that the old man's heart is in the heart, there are many forces in the court, and I am afraid that it will be quite difficult to attack each other. The old man is often caught between them, and he is in a dilemma. ”

Hearing this, Li Xian nodded and said, "Han Chenping once said that governing a big country is like cooking small fresh, but in fact, it is easier said than done. Chen Ping was young and vigorous back then, and he had the world in mind, but it was not enough from later on, Chen Ping also spent a lot of effort to smoothly manage the state politics in the position of prime minister. ”

Hearing Li Xian's words, Xu Youzhen spoke: "Lord Li's words also make sense, it is not easy to settle the subjects and people up and down properly. Over the years, the old man has always wanted to do some good things for the common people in the world, and from the current situation, things are quite difficult to manage, and the resistance in the court is too great, even if the old man wants to promote some small things and clear up a little drawback, the resistance to the evolution is also surprisingly large. ”

"Lord Xu cares about the people, but he is admired by the officials. There are many people in the court who are vegetarians, and even if they are stoned, they may not be willing to move their seats, and they are dull and lifeless, and they do not care about all the things that are evil, and they oppose them arbitrarily, and they seem to not care about others. Li Xian spoke.

"What Lord Li said is not bad at all, the old man is helpless against these mediocre members of the court, these people are the emperor's former ministers, Lord Li also knows that the emperor is a person who cares about the old feelings, so as long as the old man in front of the emperor is opposed by these ministers, the emperor in order to take into account the system and face of the court, will also delay the bill for a long time. Over time, many of the bills fell silent. Xu Youzhen complained to Li Xian.

Hearing Xu Youzhen's statement, Li Xian didn't know whether what he said was true or not, and he didn't think about it enough to put himself in his shoes, and felt that this kind of thing was not impossible, not to mention that the emperor was a person who cared about his old feelings, if other ministers had dissenting opinions on the court's proposals, the emperor was likely to drown Xu Youzhen's plan in order to be a peacemaker.

However, from Xu Youzhen's words, Li Xian also heard some words, from Xu Youzhen's statement, Li Xian found that Xu Youzhen is also quite enthusiastic about the government, it is very likely that this is related to Xu Youzhen's civil official background, like Xu Youzhen, these civil officials only entered the court after studying hard and became famous in one fell swoop, and there are still some ambitions in their hearts to stretch. From the current point of view, it was the time of the distribution that encountered some constraints, but the matter is also extremely simple, after all, the DPRK and China are not Xu Youzhen's party dominance, although Xu Youzhen is quite powerful, but there are also some people who have hands and eyes.

Knowing this in his heart, Li Xian opened his mouth to Xu Youzhen and said: "What your lord said is very true, the emperor is a person who cares about the old love very much, and everyone in the court knows this. ”

Xu Youzhen said: "Although the emperor is benevolent and loves people, he cares about the old feelings, and he naturally gives priority to appeasing these things. It's just that this kind of practice is not beneficial to the administration of affairs. ”

Hearing Xu Youzhen's words, Li Xian naturally echoed and said: "What your lord said is very true, judging from the current situation, if you want to eliminate the disadvantages for the imperial court and reform the old and make the new, there are naturally many difficulties, and it is definitely not something that can be achieved in a while. There is no shortage of resistance, and although the adults have been unswervingly promoting this matter, I am afraid that they will also be attacked and opposed by many people. ”

When Xu Youzhen heard this, he opened his mouth and said: "Lord Li's words have won my heart, there are indeed many forces in the court, and these people always think that the old man's reform and new governance program will not work, so they secretly slander and wantonly destroy, thinking of ways to make the emperor not allow the old man's proposal. Master Li's words won my heart. This is called knowing oneself and knowing oneself. ”

Hearing Xu Youzhen's words, Li Xian hurriedly said: "The adults have such a statement, Li Xian just said it casually, where do you dare to compare with the adults." ”

When Xu Youzhen heard this, he laughed and said: "There is a precedence in hearing the Tao, and there is a specialization in the art industry, Lord Li does not have to be too humble, although it is said that the crown is full of Jinghua, there may be only a handful of officials in the DPRK and China in the eyes of the old man, but after counting, you can't get rid of Lord Xu." ”

Xu Youzhen said this, Li Xian didn't dare to hold it up, so he stepped forward and said to Xu Youzhen: "Lord Xu is so ridiculously praised, how can Li feel at ease." ”

When Xu Youzhen heard this, he said: "Lord Li doesn't have to be too humble, what Fang just said is the old man's true words, although there are many officials after the imperial court, it is really rare to be like Lord Li, there are few of them, it is really difficult to find a few." The old man is still able to discern talents. ”

Hearing Xu Youzhen's words, Li Xian hurriedly said: "My lord's statement is really a bit high-spirited. How can the subordinate official be so appreciated by Lord Xu. ”

Hearing Li Xian's words, Xu Youzhen stepped forward and patted Li Xian's shoulder and said: "Lord Li doesn't have to be too humble, Lord Li just said that he has met people of three religions and nine streams, and he has traveled extensively. Those bigwigs in the court who are in the corpse position and eat vegetarian food, they are mediocre every day, they only know how to cheat for personal gain, enrich their private pockets, even if they make friends with foreign officials, they are also selling official positions, and bribery is rampant, but in addition, they are unwilling to move. Let's just say that this time in the case of the Henan disaster, so many civil and military officials in the DPRK and China have spread false rumors, and no one can learn the details in China, and everything must be reported by Henan, and the news is tight. ”

"What Lord Xu said is that it is a pity that the officials of the DPRK and China have done nothing." Li Xian echoed Xu Youzhen.

Xu Youzhen nodded and said: "What Master Li has seen is not bad at all, these corpse vegetarians who are greedy for the position of the court, the old man wants to get rid of them quickly, and he never thought that the resistance of the court is not small, and in addition to the forces of the court party, there is also a force in the palace, my Ming Dynasty regulations stipulate that the eunuchs in the palace are not allowed to interfere in political affairs, but from the current situation, the eunuchs in the palace, relying on the support of the emperor, have already abandoned this ban, and unscrupulously colluded with the ministers of the court and the central government to interfere in political affairs. ”

Hearing Xu Youzhen's words, Li Xian naturally understood that the person he said was colluding with important ministers in the court to interfere in political affairs was Cao Jixiang.

But even if he had such thoughts in his heart, Li Xian didn't want to say this matter directly, so he spoke to Xu Youzhen: "Lord Xu, the eunuchs in the palace are the people in the palace after all, and many of the people in the palace are people who serve the emperor, and the emperor also said that the emperor is a person who cares about the old feelings, and the eunuchs who serve him every day these days, the emperor naturally doesn't control it much, Lord Xu, this matter involves the emperor, and things are not easy to handle, so it's better for adults to open one eye and close one eye." ”

Xu Youzhen heard Li Xian's advice, so he sighed slightly and said: "The old man naturally understands the truth that Master Li said, but it is not bad to let the old man turn a blind eye at the moment, and it is not enough to make the old man so patient in the future, and the old man vows not to let the eunuch party become bigger and bigger, and impact the system that endangers the imperial court." ”

When Li Xian heard this, his heart moved slightly, and he understood in his heart that Xu Youzhen's remarks were just trying to say that Cao Jixiang in the palace was colluding with Shi Heng and wanted to empty his position as Yuanfu. His authority is threatened by others, and this kind of thing is naturally something that Xu Youzhen cannot tolerate in the slightest.

After understanding this, Li Xian said: "My lord is not bad, I should think of ways to govern those unscrupulous eunuchs who have no one in their eyes." ”

Hearing Li Xian's statement, Xu Youzhen was relieved.

After being reassured, Xu Youzhen turned around and said another thing: "The eunuchs in the palace will let them be free for a while now, and the old man will meet them in the future." Lord Li, today, the old man please send a sedan chair to your house, one is to let Lord Li come to the house and accompany the old man to chat. Second, for the sake of what was mentioned in yesterday's letter, I don't know what the boss thinks of the secret letter that the old man sent to the house yesterday. ”

Hearing Xu Youzhen's words, Li Xian opened his mouth and said: "The secret letter of the lord has been read by the lower officials, and the lower officials have thought about it yesterday and raised a plan for the adults, but I don't know if it is possible." ”

Seeing that Li Xian said this, Xu Youzhen opened his mouth and said: "Lord Li just has to say it, there is no need to be taboo, the old man also wants to hear Lord Li's high opinion, Lord Li might as well speak up."

Li Xian saw that the foreshadowing was successful, so he said to Xu Youzhen: "Since Lord Xu has not given up, then the lower official will say it, if it is not right, the adult does not have to adopt it." ”

"It's okay for Master Li to be blunt, it's okay to be blunt." Xu Youzhen was extremely concerned about this matter, so she opened her mouth to ask.

Hearing Xu Youzhen's words, Li Xian took the opportunity to say: "Lord Xu, yesterday the lower officials thought about it at home for a long time, and felt that from the current situation, if Lord Li wants to deal with the things mentioned in yesterday's secret letter, he will hand over that thing directly to the emperor. ”

"Lord Li means to let the old man hand over the 100,000 taels of silver tickets given by Shi Heng to the emperor for disposal." Xu Youzhen asked in surprise.

Hearing Xu Youzhen's words, Li Xian nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, that's what Xia Guan meant." ”

Xu Youzhen saw that he made this statement, and he couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

However, Xu Youzhen's ability to pretend to calm things is extremely homely, and he immediately realized it after he lost his mind, and then asked Li Xian quietly: "Since Lord Li has this suggestion, he naturally has quite a reason, so you might as well tell the old man about it." ”

Hearing this, Li Xian was extremely happy in his heart, he understood that Xu Youzhen opened his mouth to ask the reason, so he must be slightly moved by this strategy, as long as he can persuade Xu Youzhen's mind to turn around, the purpose of the instructions he asked from the eldest princess yesterday can be achieved.

Therefore, Li Xian groaned slightly, and then solemnly said to Xu Youzhen: "My lord, the matter is obvious, Lord Shi Heng sent someone to send such a huge profit, it is very likely that it is for two things. ”

When Xu Youzhen heard this, he asked: "It seems that Master Li has thought quite thoroughly, so you might as well tell the old man which two things together." ”

Li Xian nodded and said: "Xiaguan obeys the order, my lord, as far as the lower official knows, Lord Shi Heng rarely gives gifts to others, since he has sent such a generous gift to Lord Xu this time, Xia Guan pondered for a while, and felt that it was very likely that Shi Heng bribed the adult for the matter of his nephew Li Kelin." ”

Hearing this, Xu Youzhen nodded and said, "This matter is quite likely, what about the second thing that Master Li said, and what other purpose does Shi Heng have." ”

Hearing Xu Youzhen's question, Li Xian pretended to be speechless and said to Xu Youzhen: "Lord Xu, the villain doesn't dare to say anything about this matter. ”

Seeing his attitude like this, Xu Youzhen wanted to know more and more, so he smiled and said, "Master Li, you can rest assured, what is said in this room is out of your mouth and into my ears, and others don't know at all." ”

Hearing Xu Youzhen's words, Li Xian opened his mouth and said: "Since the lord said this, the lower official said it bluntly, Shi Heng's other purpose is to use this to hold the adult's reputation hostage, so that he can be at his mercy in the future." ”

When Xu Youzhen heard Li Xian say this, she nodded again and again and said, "What Master Li said is extremely reasonable. In this way, Shi Heng sent someone to send the 100,000 taels of silver over to dig a trap for the old man, wanting the old man to fall into his trap. ”

When Li Xian heard this, he opened his mouth and said: "What Lord Xu said is extremely true, judging from the current situation, it is very likely that Shi Heng wants to use this method of inviting you into the urn to trap Lord Xu in. ”

"He dares." Xu Youzhen couldn't help but drink violently.

Although Xu Youzhen's pretentious kung fu is not bad, he must not tolerate Shi Heng's calculation of him in his heart.

However, after blurting out such a sentence, Xu Youzhen turned back to Li Xian and said, "Master Li, judging from the current situation, your statement is quite reasonable. It's just that Shi Heng wants to deal with the old man like this, what does he want? ”

When Li Xian saw Xu Youzhen asking, he shook his head and said, "Lord Xu, forgive the ignorance of the lower officials, what Shi Heng wants to do like this, the lower officials also don't know anything. ”

Hearing Li Xian's words, Xu Youzhen smiled and said, "Lord Li doesn't know about this, but the old man knows." Shi Heng would never give away money in vain, and this time he sent someone to send 100,000 taels of silver to the old man, just afraid that he wanted to take the old man hostage. ”

Hearing Xu Youzhen's words, Li Xian opened his mouth and said: "What the adults said is very true, Shi Heng is a scheming person. ”

When Xu Youzhen heard this, he nodded and said, "What Master Li said is not bad at all, Shi Heng is not an easy guy to deal with. It's just that the old man still doesn't understand what the benefits of Lord Li just made a suggestion and handed over the silver sent by Shi Heng to the emperor. ”

When Li Xian heard this, he responded to Xu Youzhen in a hurry: "Lord Xu, there are many benefits during this period, delivering the things sent by Shi Heng to the emperor, one can show Lord Xu's loyalty to the emperor, and the other can also create the impression that Shi Heng is unreliable in front of the emperor." ”
