Zhu Changxun sat in his seat and looked at Ni Wenhuan who was doing it.

These days, he has also figured it out, he must have his own team, and in the court, there must be a wave of people who support him.

This time, he really felt that his imperial power was threatened.

When he was looking for someone, even his personal eunuch didn't dare to go directly to Li Ruhua, who was participating in the Shoufu meeting.

What does this mean? It shows that the eunuch is afraid of Yan Chenhao more than himself.

Is this worth it?

He suddenly realized that it might be a mistake for him to trust his teacher so much a few years ago.

But now, the other party's power is so great, it is impossible for him to attack him directly.

Emperor Wuxing suddenly remembered Emperor Wanli when he was fighting for the country.

He decided to look for a minister who could serve as an arm, just like his father.

After some searching, he set his sights on the left servant of the Tobe.

This is a clever man.

So, when the other party came to report on the allocation of materials for the Northern Expedition, Zhu Changxun left him, and first comforted him with kind words, which flattered him, and then turned to the topic:

"Li Shangshu of the household department, he is old, I see that he has often done some foolish things in recent years, but he is an old minister after all, and I can't bear to dismiss him."

"Aiqing can pay more attention to it at ordinary times, the household court is important, there must be no mistakes, and if there is anything usual, you can report it to me to prevent mistakes...... And you are the left servant of the household department, and it is also a duty to help him share some of the duties of the book...... Li Shangshu Zhishi is afraid that it has been a few years, and I don't want to be stigmatized for making mistakes in his last days. ”

In the emperor's words, there is a meaning.

Ni Wenhuan was stunned, of course he could hear what the emperor meant.

Go undercover and help spread the word...... Isn't that what it means?

Your Majesty is dissatisfied with Li Ruhua, the head of the household department, or is he dissatisfied with ......?

For a moment, his mind was racing.

Yan Ge Lao's power in the court is not ordinary, don't look at his efforts over the years, he seems to be a lenient person, but in fact, there are many people who oppose him, and many people have been punished...... But then again, unless this chief assistant rebels, will he still be able to resist His Majesty? As long as you don't stand out too much, when he dies, you will be able to achieve positive results.

And the payoff will certainly be huge.

Not to mention anything else, the emperor has just almost made it clear that the head of the household is still in the book.

Li Ruhua has been on standby for more than ten years in the position of Hubu Shangshu, and Ni Wenhuan was forced to stand by for seven years after being promoted to Zuo Shilang in the second year of Wuxing!

Now, I finally have the opportunity, and I can even enter the cabinet when the time comes......

The risk is great, but the reward is also huge, or in other words, as long as he doesn't die, then he can soar to the sky!

Under the rapid turn of his mind, he had already made a decision, and as soon as his knees weakened, he fell directly to the ground and kowtowed heavily:

"Your Majesty, the minister will definitely do his best for Your Majesty, and he will live up to His Majesty's trust!"

His eyes flashed with excitement, he had been stuck in the left servant of Tobe for so many years, and he finally saw the hope of rising.

Zhu Changxun, who was on the dragon seat, also smiled.

As for his mother's crying words, they flashed through his mind and disappeared again.

This is a path from which there is no turning back.

Ever since he stepped into the supreme position, he has been alone.

……

To say that Yan Chenhao and the emperor had such a big quarrel, and there was no price, it was impossible.

But in the same way, because of Yan Chenhao's merits and his huge influence in the court, it will definitely not work if he directly follows this and pushes him down.

So in the end, Yan Chenhao was ordered to reflect at home because of the crime of "contradicting the emperor", and he was punished by Yu Lu, and the cabinet assistant temporarily took over his duties.

And he is now unemployed at home, and several months have passed, and it is now February of the tenth year of Wuxing.

"Father, there are already rumors that Your Majesty is dissatisfied with you and wants to do the old things of the first emperor, such rumors."

"It's too much to dare to spread it like this."

"Or ...... I'm going to go to the commander of the Jinyi Guard, turn those guys out, impeach and punish them? ”

His son asked, sitting across from him.

The eldest son, Yan Qiansheng, entered the court a few years ago as the third in the second class, and now serves as Langzhong in the Ministry of Rites.

And with Yan Chenhao being forced offline, some people have seen a little light, and the gossip in the court has flourished.

But Yan Chenhao is only a temporary "introspection" after all, his power in the court is still huge, and the whole person is still relaxed.

Yan Chenhao tasted tea lightly, and did not show any nervousness and fear.

"There's no need." He said.

"It's just some unwilling people who want to regain the freedom and privileges they had in the Wanli years...... Heh, even if I step down, they won't get it, Your Majesty and the first emperor are not the same. ”

"Besides, now Your Majesty's nerves are already very nervous, and if you go to do it like this, be careful and invite disaster...... You, just by my shadow, are too smooth. ”

Yan Qiansheng nodded as if he didn't understand, and then said dissatisfiedly:

"Father, you are dedicated to the country, but you ended up being dissatisfied and suspicious by Your Majesty, it is better to just do your own things honestly, aren't our ancestors like this?"

The corners of Yan Chenhao's mouth hooked up a slight smile:

"You came to teach me, why, do you think you have more ability than me?"

Yan Qiansheng hurriedly shook his head, an embarrassed smile on his face.

And Yan Chenhao said lightly:

"Wise and self-sufficient...... I've been able to get this far, why don't I know this truth? ”

It's just that there are some things to do and some not to do, which has nothing to do with the philosophy of being an official, just the inner perseverance.

He didn't talk too much, but instead asked:

"How's the water conservancy?"

"Your Majesty has approved it, and it has been handed over to the Ministry of Households for appropriation and the Ministry of Industry for implementation, and it has basically been determined...... Li Shangshu also said that although the treasury may be a little empty, it can still be taken out after all, so you don't have to worry. ”

Yan Chenhao nodded, and was about to speak, but suddenly the housekeeper's voice came from outside, and there was a faint joy in his voice.

"Master, master!"

With a "squeak", he pushed open the door to the room.

"Grandpa Guo has returned from the Northern Expedition!"

"What a victory! It is said that the Dzungar tribe suffered more than 20,000 casualties and more than 5,000 prisoners, and was forced to flee westward, and at the same time sent envoys to the Ming Emperor to pay tribute. ”

The butler said with a look of joy on his face.

When Yan Qiansheng heard this, a smile appeared on his face.

But soon, the two of them thought of something in unison, their faces were a little distorted, and they forcibly pressed down the excited appearance, looking like they were smiling but not smiling, looking particularly awkward, and at the same time, they secretly looked at Yan Chenhao on the side.

To say that Chen Guogong has achieved such a record, of course they are happy, after all, from the same source, Chen Guogong's glory is also good for them.

However, his victory seems to be a little bad for Yan Chenhao, who is the first assistant and opposes the sending of troops.

Only Yan Chenhao's face was pale, he had expected all this.

Originally, Yan Shizhao had a good ability to lead troops to fight, but after a large number of fetters and cavalry joined, even the strength had overwhelmed the Dzungar Department, and it was strange that he couldn't win.
