The sun is shining in the capital, and the entire Forbidden City is bathed in a golden sunshine.

Panasonic asked Tong Sheng, and the teacher went to collect medicine. Only in this mountain, the clouds are deep and do not know where! This court is like this, and so is the inner court, what they are fighting for is nothing more than fame and fortune, and they can't be so indifferent to fame and fortune as the miscellaneous family! ”

Wearing a royal python robe, Huai'en was lying on a bamboo chair in the courtyard basking in the sun, and after a few days of torture by the wind and cold, he already had a new understanding of life, and he sighed with emotion.

It's just that at this time, he is the master of ceremonies, and the disciples and grandchildren of the inner court must have eighty if not a hundred, and now there are little eunuchs and palace maids to serve.

"Ancestor, this is an orange just sent from Huainan, you can taste it! Everyone says that the old ancestor is wiser than Kong Ming, virtuous and virtuous, if you are a young person participating in the imperial examination, you must be the champion! Wei Bin brought the peeled orange to Wynne's mouth, and then flattered him with a flattering expression.

Huai'en's mouth opened slightly, and he tasted a piece of sweet orange and said: "The champion is not sure, but if the miscellaneous family enters the court, he will be able to become a generation of virtuous ministers!" But now it's not too bad, since ancient times, eunuchs were regarded as a cancer by the government and the opposition, but now the Manchu ministers mentioned the miscellaneous family, who doesn't know that the miscellaneous family is a person who can distinguish right from wrong, and he deserves to be the first virtuous eunuch since the Ming Dynasty! ”

"The reputation of the ancestor resounded throughout the government and the opposition, and it can be said that he was the first in the dynasty and a model for my generation!" Wei Bin continued to peel the orange and continued to speak respectfully.

Huaien spit out the orange core in his mouth onto the plate held by the palace maid next to him, and said with great interest: "Take this orange as an example, why does the orange in the south become orange in the north?" This is the principle of 'those who are close to Zhu are red, and those who are close to ink are black'. You juniors have to stay away from Liang Fang and Guo Yongzhi, they don't read much, so they only know how to please Your Majesty. It's just that our inner court has to learn from the outside court, and loyalty is good medicine, Your Majesty doesn't want to advise us, and we have to rely on Qingliu civil officials who are familiar with the books of sages and sages to govern things! ”

"Ancestor, isn't it supposed that Your Majesty should govern the world?" Wei Bin couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then asked cautiously.

Huaien's mind came to mind the indecisive young man who was in trouble, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly and said, "Your Majesty can just hang the arch and rule!" In this world, the affairs of the world should be governed by virtuous ministers, and the likes of Wan'an should be eliminated! ”

"Ancestor, I heard that the emperor does not agree to increase the number of ministers, I am afraid that Wan An will always be used as the first assistant!" Wei Bin brought a piece of orange to Huai'en's mouth and said seriously.

When Wynne ate this piece of sour orange, his whole face suddenly distorted, and he spit it all out. It's just that the palace maid just got distracted, and as a result, the sour orange fell to the ground.

"Father-in-law spares his life!" The palace maid knew that Huai En was a ruthless person, so she hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy.

The two eunuchs behind him glanced at Huai En, who was expressionless, but they knew that Huai En wanted to punish the palace maid who had made a mistake, so they stepped forward and dragged the palace maid away.

Wei Bin has been staying in Huai'en for some time, but he is a reader who knows that this sage book does not leave his mouth, and he is indeed very friendly to the civil officials who hold the historical pen, but he is ruthless to the palace maids and eunuchs under him.

Huai En asked another palace maid to come over and wait, and immediately said confidently: "You can only see what happens on the stage, but what happens off the stage, you people will never know!" Wei Bin, just wait and see, this court will soon change the sky! ”

At this moment, a dark cloud appeared in the eastern sky, which seemed to be imprinting Wynne's words.

A small eunuch happened to come in from outside and summoned Huai En to go to the Qianqing Palace immediately to face the saint.

"Wei Bin, quick, hurry up and help the miscellaneous family to go to the Qianqing Palace!" Wynne knew that his layout had succeeded, and even held out a hand excitedly.

Wei Bin put down the orange and hurriedly stepped forward to help, seeing that His Majesty took the initiative to summon Huai En for the first time, and faintly realized that this matter was indeed a big deal.

In the east warm pavilion of the Qianqing Palace, sandalwood rises up.

Zhu Youji, who was wearing civilian clothes, was handling government affairs, but when he saw the reply letter from the Sixth Ministry and the recital of some officials in the capital, his immature face was closed, and his heart was already burning with anger.

Similar to newlyweds, there is also a honeymoon period between kings and ministers.

It's easy to wake up from a good dream, and now that he is about to take the throne and the moon is about to be full, the problems of both sides are slowly revealed.

Because he did not get rid of the Mei Party headed by Wan An as Qingliu imagined, and insisted on reusing Du Ming, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and Li Yu, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, and he has not resumed the daily lectures and scriptures and feasts, the relationship between the monarch and the minister is now broken.

Guo Yong proposed to fill the harem with a draft, but this proposal was immediately strongly opposed by officials led by Zhou Mohong, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, mainly on the grounds that the first emperor was not buried.

Zhu Youzhi took the initiative to open Enke, but it was also opposed by the officials headed by Xu Pu, and the reasons for this time were "the Ming Dynasty has been redundant for a long time, and it is not appropriate to set up Enke again", "three years is preferred, and three hundred will be selected to fill the number", "the training of the great ancestor Enke is still in front of us, and Enke is not conducive to the DPRK", and so on.

Zhu Youzhu has never been a stupid person, but now that he sees that the arguments of these officials are gradually becoming consistent, he knows that these officials have begun to join forces to deal with the imperial power.

Although the imperial power is above everything, the official power of all dynasties should not be underestimated, otherwise there would not have been so many cases of failed reform from ancient times to the present, and there would not even be a good example of the success of real reform.

"Your Majesty, this is the song that was just sent from Huguang!" Guo Yong led the two little eunuchs over, and put a stack of music on the desk and said respectfully.

Zhu Youzhu looked at another thick stack of notes, and couldn't help but sigh secretly.

The world envies the emperor for being good, but only when you really sit in this position, you will know that the emperor's work is really endless.

"Your Majesty, I don't know why the old slave was summoned?" Wynne walked in from outside, and those small eyes were secretly spying on Zhu Youji's tunnel.

Zhu Youji's eyes looked at this old eunuch with a treacherous face complicatedly, and then the group of civil officials was really a raccoon dog, so he picked up a book next to him and said, "I found a small basket dedicated to the first emperor by the elder of the Ten Thousand Pavilion in the study, do you know about this?" Do you remember what's inside? ”

"The slave maid has been away from the emperor for several years, and I don't know about Wan An's gift of a small basket, but Wan An does have the habit of offering books to the emperor, and this book is obtained from the small basket?" Wynne's heart was secretly happy, but he didn't know what to do.

Zhu Youzhu looked at the cover of the book and read out the title of the book, and said with great disdain: "The secret of the capital!" I can't bear to mention such an unsightly thing, I don't want to look at it more, I don't want Wan'an to be a gentleman! ”。

Huai En was about to knowingly mention whether it was a room in the middle of the house, but Zhu Youzhu took the lead in speaking: "Huai En, now the courtiers have gone up to impeach Wan Ge Lao, you know the situation in the court very well, but you don't know what to think of Wan Ge Lao?" ”

"The old man of Wange voted for the favor of the first emperor, so he had to be reused! It's just that his talent is not as good as Liu Ji, and his virtuous name is not enough for Xu Pu Eleven, so the slave maid thinks that Wan Ge is honest and not good! Wynne was suddenly asked, and immediately said his opinion.

In fact, there is no need for him to add more oil and vinegar now, this new monarch has accepted Confucianism since he was a child, and he is a person who greatly admires the style of a gentleman. Now that Wan An has been so framed by himself, Wan An is destined to be kicked out of the court by this new monarch.

Zhu Youzhu nodded lightly, as if making a difficult decision: "I am not a gentleman who can speak well, but the book that Wan'an dedicated to the first emperor is not a gentleman!" You sent these impeachment notes to read to him, and at the same time told him that I knew about the dedication to the emperor, and asked him if he would dare to stay in the court once the matter was made public? ”

"Slave obeys!" Seeing that the matter was completely under his control, Wynne secretly proudly surrendered his command.

Zhu Youzhu looked at the back of Huai En leaving in a hurry, and thought of the small basket that suddenly appeared, and couldn't help but feel a strong uneasiness in his heart.

The sky was clear just now, but as a dark cloud drifted in from the east, this dark cloud seemed to pour a basin of water on the golden Forbidden City, and it lost some color in an instant.

Wenyuan Pavilion, the only building in the entire Forbidden City with black glazed tiles, has been diluted as a library attic, and now it has resolutely become the central institution of the Ming Dynasty.

An old man in a python robe was crouching in front of the desk, his face was full of age spots, his snow-white eyebrows were long, and his eyes were cloudy.

Whether you are the head of the empire or the poor peasant working in the fields, the years have been destroying everyone fairly, and no one has been forgotten.

Wan An faced the concert from the two capitals and thirteen provinces, and it was precisely the note that seriously wrote his opinions on a note, and then glued the note to the note, which is the cabinet's voting work.

"Master, do you want to rest for a while?" A servant brought tea and reminded him cautiously.

"It's not easy to fool the saints today, if you want to rest, you have to wait for the lower government to go home to rest!" Wan An didn't even raise his head, so he continued to play the trick.

Although he has always been nicknamed the old man of the straw bag pavilion by the world, this is just a means for political opponents to attack him.

These people don't want to think about it, they are from an authentic minister, and they began to contact the cabinet in the fifth year of Chenghua, and they have been the first assistant for ten years.

He may not be a good hand at political struggle, but when it comes to handling the government affairs of the Ming Dynasty, no one in the Manchu Dynasty can be above him.

In fact, he knew that the reason why the emperor did not remove him was that in addition to the need for him to be in a state of balance with other forces in the court, it was precisely because of his experience and ability to deal with local government affairs.

The servant was about to leave, but when he saw Huai En coming in, he greeted him warmly and said, "Grandpa Huai, why are you here?" ”

"The emperor's message!" Wynne didn't look at Wan An's servant at all, and looked arrogant.

Wan An suddenly felt excited, then stood up tremblingly, and hurriedly saluted Huai'en: "Respectfully Saint Ann! ”

"St. Ann! Your Majesty knows about your dedication to the first emperor, if this matter is made public, will you dare to stay in the court? The corners of Wynne's mouth rose slightly, and he directly conveyed his will.

Wan An's brows couldn't help frowning, and he said in his heart: Why don't you dare, and at the same time nodded slowly: "The minister has presented a book to the first emperor several times, I don't know which time?" ”

"Wan Ge Lao, naturally the most unbearable time, do you really want to break it?" Wynne knew that this courtier had a lot of black history, so he asked with a smile.

Wan An couldn't help but feel weak for a while, after all, the content of some books is really not suitable for disclosure, when he took the initiative to admit his mistake and said: "The minister knows his mistake, please forgive Your Majesty!" ”

Wynne's brows couldn't help frowning slightly, and he found that this old guy's skin was thicker than the city wall, but fortunately, things were already confused.

Wei Bin followed Huai'en over, and immediately took out a copy of the impeachment note and said: "The officials and departments have given Song Cong a careful performance in the matter: In order to thank heaven, begging for the holy judgment and early punishment of treacherous and dangerous and ingenious, and the authoritarian thieves and ministers to govern the Qing Dynasty, so as to eliminate the ......troubles of greed and redemption."

"The minister knows that he is wrong, please forgive His Majesty!" Wan An didn't expect Xu Pu's people to stab him with a knife, so he said in fear.

Wynne found that this man was not going to resign and leave, so he gritted his teeth and ordered: "Read again!" ”

Wei Bin took out another note, and read it: "Zhang Shanji is in the middle of the matter: Wan'an, a scholar of Chenguan University, steals power and disrupts the government, misleading the country and the people, and is the first scourge ......of the new dynasty."

"The minister knows that he is wrong, please forgive His Majesty!" Wan An didn't expect Liu Ji's people to stab him, so he secretly gritted his teeth and said.

The sky outside was getting darker and darker, and it seemed like rain was going to rain at any moment.

In the first auxiliary duty room of Wenyuan Pavilion, the sound of recitation has been constantly heard.

The second assistant Liu Ji also stayed in his own duty room to deal with the ticket work, but listened to the delay next door and no results, and finally couldn't help but walk out of his duty room and squat in the corner next door.

If it goes as planned, today is the day Wan'an leaves the court, and the throne of Shousuke, which he has been waiting for for ten years, is in front of him.

It's just that things are really going the way you want them to?

"The minister knows that he is wrong, please forgive His Majesty!" Wan An found that the impeachment of these people was becoming less and less innovative, so he still chose to admit his mistake.

Seeing that things were gradually out of his grasp, Wynne never expected that these readers who read the books of sages were so thick-skinned, and squeezed out two words from between his teeth and said: "Read again."

"It's gone!" Wei Bin's hands were spread, and his voice was hoarse.

Huaien knew that no matter how much impeachment was played, it might be useless, so he stepped forward and asked, "You presented the book of the house to the emperor, what did this minister do?" ”

Wan An's face changed slightly, but he looked at Wynne in shock.

Huaien couldn't bear this old Shoufu who refused to resign, and when he saw the tooth tag on his waist, he ripped it off and said, "It's okay!" ”

"Please!" The two little eunuchs behind him saw that Wan An's tooth card was taken away, and they also stepped forward to prepare to drive Wan An Dao away.

Wan An couldn't help but sigh, glanced at Huai En with complicated eyes, and picked up the jade piece on the table and left, leaving this place where he had stayed for more than ten years.

"Ancestor, do this...... Doesn't seem like it's okay? Wei Bin couldn't help but be worried when he saw Huaien snatching Wan An's tooth card and forcing him to leave.

Huai En watched Zhu Youzhi grow up, and said very confidently: "Your Majesty's meaning is already obvious, what you want is for this old guy to leave, the miscellaneous family has now become a wicked person for Your Majesty, and it is too late for Your Majesty to be grateful!" ”

As he spoke, an autumn rain fell outside, and the rain with the sound of the wind was like the sorrow of autumn, and the majestic city of Beijing seemed to have a premonition of the coming of the bloody disaster.
