Huang Liji put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand, stood up and walked to the study.

Mrs. Huang comforted him twice, but this man's study is not allowed to enter after all.

Huang Liji, as the first assistant of the cabinet, naturally hides more secrets in the study, and he will not let others in easily, even the usual cleaning of the study is cleaned by Huang Liji himself.

This night, Huang Liji did not return to his bedroom, but sent someone to get a quilt and slept directly in the study.

But when the quilt was taken, Huang Liji couldn't sleep after tossing and turning, and his heart was full of sorrow.

When the belly of the fish in the east was white, Huang Liji sighed, lifted the quilt, put on his shoes, and came to the front of the desk.

It's also a shame that in the room, anthracite with a special flue is burned for heating, but I'm not afraid that he will be cold.

In other words, when anthracite was first promoted, Zhu Youxiao was really worried about whether burning indoors would lead to carbon monoxide poisoning for ordinary people, and something that Zhu Youxiao didn't want to see.

But then he found himself thinking too much.

Today's housing construction structures make it almost impossible for a house to be completely sealed.

Especially in ordinary people's homes, it is even more leaky on all sides.

Even if the people burn coal for heating, nothing will easily happen, something Zhu Youxiao doesn't want to see.

As for the homes of dignitaries and nobles, there was already a situation of burning charcoal for heating in the previous winters, and although they didn't know why this happened if the carbon was not burned enough, they knew that such a thing would happen.

Therefore, ordinary dignitaries and nobles will also build a special smoke exhaust channel when burning charcoal, and they are not afraid of abnormal deaths.

Huang Liji came to his desk, spread out a blank notebook, and began to write on it in small letters.

"Thanks to Your Majesty's attention, the minister dared to be the first assistant scholar of the cabinet, and when he looked up, he was quite frightened, fearing that his talent was not worthy of his current position, so he had to work hard and try his best to maintain it."

"But now there are too many traitors in the court, and the ministers are also very panicked, especially the Donglin Party members who give and receive from each other privately, excluding dissidents, so that the righteous ministers cannot be reused because of their talents, so that the traitors and villains are full of the court, so it is really a great misfortune for the court."

"His Majesty the existing Ming Jun, there are ministers and others who bow down to obey orders, and there are Jinyi Weidong Factory and other divisions on duty day and night, and the position of the Holy Monarch can be as stable as Mount Tai......"

The piece written by Huang Liji above can be said to be nonsense, and it has no meaning at all.

It is nothing more than Huang Liji explaining to Zhu Youxiao that he is still a staunch eunuch party member, loyal to Zhu Youxiao, and does not share the sky with the Donglin Party.

In other words, in fact, what Huang Liji is writing now is a letter of nomination to Zhu Youxiao.

He figured it out after all.

If such a thing falls into the hands of the Donglin Party members in the future, Huang Liji will definitely not be able to be used by the Donglin Party members, and he will not even die well.

But if Huang Liji is just a letter of nomination, then he will definitely not be able to satisfy Zhu Youxiao.

As the so-called Huang Liji said, no matter how good it sounds, Zhu Youxiao still has to look at his behavior.

Huang Liji didn't understand such a truth.

He sighed and moved his stiff fingers, it was difficult to write in this winter.

But because of such weather, Huang Liji's back was already covered with cold sweat.

At this time, he only hoped that Zhu Youxiao would live a long life, and only hoped that the eunuch party could be carried forward, otherwise he would have no place to die.

Sure enough, I saw him then write in the back: "Now Your Majesty has set up the official office that controls the newspaper under the Ministry of Rites, and appointed Sun Zhiqi as the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites to take charge of the official office that controls the newspaper. ”

"But after all, this method wants to achieve the goal by blocking the Donglin people to run the newspaper, and it can't completely relieve Your Majesty's worries after all."

"Your Majesty can ask Sun Zhiqi to allow the Donglin Party to run a newspaper, and according to Weichen's calculations, the huge cost of running a newspaper is not something that Donglin and others can maintain."

"In this way, the Donglin Party members will inevitably take advantage of foreign financial resources, so that they can find out who is behind the Donglin Party members, and then His Majesty can wipe them all out and cut down the grass and eradicate the roots."

When the last word fell on the song, Huang Liji seemed to be drained of all the strength of his body and fell on the chair.

He laughed self-deprecatingly, walked slowly to the window, and opened it.

Although the sun had risen slightly at this time, the biting cold wind still roared in from the window, making his old face ache.

When he is a hundred years later, how should the people of the world comment on him?

Loyalists?

Traitor?

Eunuchs?

Fence-sitter?

Huang Liji didn't know either.

He only knew that if he didn't do it today, then he would probably not be able to live long.

Even so, there are countless eunuch ministers behind him who want to take his place.

In particular, the new eunuchs promoted by Zhu Youxiao through the Xishan Incident had already seen that these old eunuchs were not going well.

But if they had the slightest chance, they would immediately climb up the pole and replace them old fellows.

Today's majesty wants to promote a new official, but not on the other side's qualifications, nor on the other party's age, but only on the other party's talent.

As for the age of Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Yuanhua, and Sun Zhiqi, they are a lot different from the other ministers.

But even so, His Majesty directly promoted them to the squires of the various ministries.

When he went to court the next day, Huang Liji saw several other cabinet scholars, except for Sun Chengzong and Xu Guangqi, who still had unchanged faces, and the faces of the other eunuch scholars were a little gray.

The reason why they can appear here only means that they have also made the same choice as Huang Liji.

But Huang Liji also found that there were still a few eunuch ministers in the court, and they made a different choice from them.

They actually gave Zhu Youxiao a lesson and wanted to resign and go into hiding.

After Huang Liji knew the news, he didn't pay too much attention to it on the surface, or he also had a wait-and-see attitude.

He wanted to know what happened to these eunuch ministers after they made a different choice from them.

If His Majesty can smoothly let those eunuch ministers go home to farm, then Huang Liji and they can also use this method as a retreat in the future.

But Huang Liji thought about it again, looked at his old body, and finally shook his head.

It's a little bit beautiful for him.

He is now a handful of years, but Zhu Youxiao is still very young.

Even if these eunuch ministers resign and go into hiding, when they want to make a comeback in the future, it will be at least possible after Zhu Youxiao dies.
