After Cai Xianqing finished reading the letter, he immediately showed it to Ye Yongjia, leaned aside and sighed: "Enyan, this person, his ideas are too immature. His words are not wrong, but unfortunately it is now a life-and-death party struggle, and there is really no room for any truth to be said. Such indulgence of the enemy is detrimental to us and to him. ”

Ye Yongjia said: "Cai Lao, the so-called suspicious people don't need to be used, and the use of people is not suspicious, even if the Yushitai is paid to him, he must fully support it." He is a newcomer to the official career, and he is not deeply involved, so he has this kind of naïve fantasy. Even if he is good at words and persuasions, he will not listen to them. It's better to wait a little longer, and he will understand. ”

Cai Xianqing frowned and shook his head: "It's not proper!" We have to let him know our attitude, and we can't let him be so loose. So he wrote back, and Ye Yongjia didn't stop him.

Lu Tingci still stayed in the Yushitai, and when he saw Ge Mingwei leaving, he took back the letter and read it. Although he was not convinced in his heart, he knew that Cai Xianqing was prestigious, and he couldn't be angry, so he didn't dare to argue with him anymore, and replied respectfully; But Cai Xianqing was still uneasy, but because of Ye Yongjia's decision, he couldn't interfere in his affairs, so he looked up to the sky and sighed: "Tinglong has a good conscience after all, and he refuses to really be ruthless!" Let this man be in charge of the way, and he will be in great trouble in the future! ”

"Master Ge, I have the paperwork here, please bring it to the emperor."

The shadow of the Hunan man swayed in the candlelight, and he pushed the paperwork on the table forward.

"Okay," Ge Mingwei stood in front of him, tucking all the paperwork into his sleeve, "What's the matter?" ”

Guo Xiangren raised his eyes and looked at him: "Daily official business, it doesn't matter. Important, is another thing. ”

"King Yi?" Ge Mingwei asked cautiously.

"Haha, that's right," Guo Xiangren stroked his palms and smiled, "I plan to let you take advantage of the time to enter the palace to force the emperor on the matter of King Yi." ”

"That'...... What to say? ”

"You can understand this by looking at this," Guo Xiangren took out a book from the darkness again, pointed to it, and said, "This is written by the Chen Minister's Department." But don't be in a hurry to send the submission, after you have interviewed Your Majesty, you will confirm the tone, and hand it over to the prince in the main hall tomorrow, so that all the ministers will know. ”

Ge Hanlin listened, but muttered: "This ...... Not okay? ”

Guo Xiangren slowly turned his head: "What's wrong?" ”

Ge Mingwei said: "Isn't the good marquis just trying to play tricks? ”

The Hunan people sneered: "This is completely Lord Ge's heart." ”

"I can already see it," Ge Ming waved his hand, "the reason why you asked me to go to the face first is to secretly obtain the emperor's consent; Once the emperor nodded, handing over the book was just a formality in the court and pushing the boat down the river. And King Yi didn't know it, and he would think that it was us who was in trouble and wanted to quarrel. If the book is blocked because of this, then King Yi will not become a person who resists the decree. Can't I see such a conspiracy? ”

"So what?"

Ge Ming replied sternly: "Ge thinks that although King Yi is not on good terms with the crown prince and has a relationship with the leaf thief, he is a royal nobleman after all, not an ordinary courtier, and he is different from us. If he arbitrarily provokes the relationship between him and the emperor, so that his father complains about his son, his son complains about his father, and his family and country are restless, is it the way of his subordinates? For the sake of righteousness, you can't do anything about it! ”

Guo Xiangren endured the fire in his belly, and thought calmly: "This guy is a person who eats soft and does not eat hard, and he must not be forced." He is pedantic and likes to nag about Confucianism, so I will be hypocritical for a while. ’

So he pretended to be a famous Confucian lecturer, and said earnestly: "Master Ge, you only know one thing, but you don't know the other. Now that the righteous path has fallen and Confucianism is not flourishing, it is the time when traitors are causing trouble in the world, and we are the only pure land here. If you are a little slower, you will be killed, and the gentleman's etiquette will be extinct. Let me ask you, is it the continuation of etiquette and religion that is important, or the so-called righteousness is important? ”

Ge Mingwei pinched his fingers and locked his eyebrows and did not answer.

"The classics also say that 'a gentleman is in the world, and there is no way to do it', even if Confucius was born at this time, I am afraid that he must be flexible and have to use some dishonorable means. A fierce enemy must be-for-tat to be effective! ”

To Ge Mingwei's ears, his words were still a little reluctant. But in the midst of repeated entanglements, he seemed to begin to doubt his previous views: 'Is it true that doing such a thing would not violate the etiquette of the sages?' As soon as such a thought came to him, he no longer rejected it, but made it more reasonable and acceptable, carefully incorporating it into his thoughts.

For some reason, he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat at this moment, and began to think crankily in his heart again, and even recalled the classics he had learned in his mind to make sure that this idea had a complete explanation, and then he was freed from the psychological pressure, nodded and said: "It seems that Lianghou is more proficient in these Confucian classics than me." You convinced me. ”

Guo Xiangren felt relaxed, and suddenly half lay down on the chair, and smiled lightly: "Then let's go." ”

The emperor slept late every day, and the ministers were accustomed to it, and they would come to disturb him at night. However, today he was tired and did not want to be overworked, so he summoned Ge Mingwei in front of the couch.

Ge Mingwei followed the eunuch, leaned down and walked in, not daring to look up, his eyes looked straight in the direction of the carpet: "Minister Ge Mingwei knocked to see Your Majesty!" ”

"What's the matter?"

"There are several official documents waiting to be approved after participating in politics, and they will be handed over to the ministers to bring them together." After speaking, Ge Mingwei took out the official document and held it in his hand, and looked at the little eunuch to take it, and waited quietly for the emperor's voice.

"These affairs, let's deal with them tomorrow," the emperor glanced at it hastily a few times and put it aside, "What else do you have?" ”

Ge Mingwei's heart jumped violently, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and hurriedly kowtowed: "The minister wants to advise on the matter of King Yi." ”

"Say." The Emperor was silent for a moment, and when he said this, his tone was extremely cold.

"The minister thinks ......" Ge Mingwei was sweating all over his body, he wanted to know the emperor's current complexion, but the more he thought about it, the more his neck sank, so that there was indescribable soreness, "Since King Yi is deeply loved by the emperor, it is better to let him live in Jingshi." Now I only say that I will stay until the first month, and if I want to change it at that time, I am afraid it will not be appropriate. ”

"Wouldn't that be a violation of the king's law? I don't want to make an exception for him. ”

"The minister has a plan, he can first buy a mansion for the prince in Beijing, give him gold and silver, and then issue an edict to seize his domain. If the domain is gone, there is no need to follow the regulations of the feudal king. ”

Then he added: "This is just a method that Wei Chen suddenly thought of, because he was afraid of offending the foreign court, he didn't dare to talk about it publicly, so he didn't write a performance, hoping that His Majesty would forgive him." If His Majesty thinks this plan is feasible, the minister will go to the book the next day. ”

"Well," said the Emperor softly, "this is exactly what I want. Tomorrow morning, you will submit the recital, and I will immediately issue a decree, which will also save you from verbosity and carry it out as soon as possible. ”
