Sunset, moonrise.

Master Li walked out of the mansion, and a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy immediately greeted him, Master Li touched the young man's head, and the two walked side by side.

"Dad, do you have any money?"

"Do what?"

"Buy watermelon and buy moon cakes, I bought a watermelon for four or five moon cakes when I was fifteen, and I finished eating it early. ”

Master Li took out a string of copper coins, the young man took it, flattened his mouth and said, "Pick the door, it's only a few dollars, what is enough to buy?"

"Eat less sweets for kids. ”

"Who is the child? In a few years I will be able to marry a daughter-in-law. ”

"I'll talk about it when you marry your daughter-in-law. ”

"Have you had fifteen mooncakes?"

"Nope. ”

"Stingy. ”

The father and son talked and walked, and gradually went away.

"Dad, I heard that the former emperor died, didn't you?"

"That's called death. ”

"Oh, does the new emperor have a good relationship with your boss?"

"It's okay. ”

"It's okay? That's not good. ”

"Stinky boy, what do you know?"

"Don't underestimate whether I'm good or not, I will be the first master in the world in the future, and I will definitely be better than you. ”

"Aren't you kid going to take the imperial examination?"

"What's so good about taking the imperial examination? The monkey is tired and tired, and only after being admitted to the top prize is he given a sesame mung bean big official, and he is bullied every day. How good it is to be a master, no matter how big an official is, he has to listen to you, and there are many benefits. ”

"The kid has a lot of tone, do you think the master is so good?"

"What's so difficult? After receiving the reward, I patted my ass and left, whoever likes to clean up the mess will clean up, it's my business. ”

"Then who will dare to invite you in the future?"

"That's not necessarily, I'm amazing, I can handle things like your boss. ”

Master Li looked left and right at no one, and said with a smile: "Then tell me how to solve it?"

"That's not simple? The relationship is not good, isn't it okay to send some good things? As long as the emperor is happy, why can't you?"

"Well, it's a bit of a playhouse. What if the emperor is still not happy?"

"Well~~~~~ then give all the good things to his subordinates, pull all his people away, no one to play with him, he can't do anything alone. ”

"That's how you dealt with your third uncle's brother?"

"Well, he called people to bully me, so I bought them sugar and pastries to eat every day, and everyone avoided him for less than a month, no matter what he asked, everyone lied to him, and in the end, he was not obedient to me as a subordinate. How's that, awesome?"

"It's okay, it's not rough. The child, the beggar emperor, there is no difference in nature, how long have you thought about this method?"

"Do you still need to think about this?" the young man flattened his mouth triumphantly.

Master Li smiled, touched his head and said, "Boy, Dad taught you a trick today, and you memorized it for me." Remember, most of the time the first thing you think of is not the best solution, because there are a lot of people who think of it too. If you meet a master, you will suffer. ”

The young man changed his naughty attitude and said, "Yes, the child wrote it down." What is Daddy going to give your boss?"

"It's the same as yours. ”

The boy was surprised, "Didn't you say that this is not the best idea?"

"It's not the best idea. ”

"Then why use it?"

Master Li smiled again and said, "Dad will teach you another trick, this trick is more important than the previous one." ”

"Daddy, please. ”

"To be a person who eats with his head, before making a plan, you must first know what is good for us and what is bad for us. ”

The boy fell into thought.

"Let's test you, if he becomes the emperor, will it be good or bad for us?"

"Of course it's a good thing, he ...... , No, Daddy said that it would be useless for him to be the emperor and ask for Daddy, Daddy knows so much about him, and he can help him become the emperor, in case Daddy is bribed by others to oppose him, he is very dangerous, so he will probably kill Daddy in order to avoid hidden dangers. ”

"Well, yes, what if he loses ground?"

"Well~~~, Daddy doesn't seem to be bad for us except for losing his job, as the master came up with an idea, they did everything, and it has nothing to do with us. He's down, and we can still be someone else's master. ”

Master Li smiled and said: "It's not that simple, maybe it's okay, maybe it's okay, it all depends on the situation, but it's better than the former." ”

"Hehe, it's better now, he has the emperor to suppress him, and there are hundreds of officials to deal with, and there are many places inside and outside that rely on his father to make ideas. ”

Master Li nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "I'll buy you a big watermelon and a big moon cake for your kid, and it's all yours after paying tribute to Lord Yue'er tomorrow night." ”

......

It was late at night, and the heavy troops were surrounded by 'Qiuchi Mountain', and the sentry posts on the mountain were distinct.

A slightly thin figure came out of the house, looked left and right and walked against the wall, cleverly avoiding the sentry post under the cover of the house, and a few ups and downs reached the cliff behind the house, the figure jumped down without hesitation, pressed the palm of his hand on the cliff wall a few times, and landed steadily. A section of cliff several feet high did not affect the figure at all. The figure ran down the hillside like a leaf.

Inside the Royal Palace.

The boy flipped through a stack of papers.

In May, on the day of Renshen, Huang Baiqing asked the courtiers of the shrine 'Neidu Fu' to attach themselves to the 'Flying Dragon City'; Ding Chou, the Beichuan battle, the 'Xiaoice City' was dangerously broken, and the 'golden horse' returned to resist for several days, and went to Linzhen to rob hundreds of cattle and horses, and more than ten women; Jiashen, the rich merchant Weng Yuan of 'Gumengzhou', and 17 other people jointly signed a joint name to praise the merits of martial arts, and asked the shrine to 'Mijindu', and the shrine name was 'Xiande'; on the same day, 'Zhongzhou Marquis' praised the merits of the inner ministers, and gave the shrine 'Hongde', and 'Ezhou' Tianmen Guan Eunuch Tao Wen asked the shrine to be 'Guang'en'; Bingxu, the Beichuan War, and the soldiers were trapped Xiaoice City'; Ji Qiu, 'Mengzhou Hou' Guo Dajun invited the shrine and gave it the name 'Defang'; Kwai Wei, 'General Breaker' Fang Bing went to battle, the 'Golden Cavalry' retreated to Dongshan, and the siege of 'Xiaoice City began to be resolved; Yiwei, the 'Golden Cavalry' re-encircled 'Xiaoice City', it was the heavy rain of 'Gumengzhou' in the month, the river swelled, flooding thousands of acres of fields, and in the second half of the year, the 'Bajin Crossing' flood, 32 people died, flooding the fields and houses, the treasury was empty, and the money was distributed to help them, but it was still unsolved.

He couldn't imagine that in this situation, there were still people who continued to ask for the construction of a shrine for Wu Jingguo, and Wu Gelding monopolized the power, and the courtiers tended to be inflammatory. The young man was a little disappointed in the courtiers, and his dislike for Wu Jingguo was even more significant.

In June, on the day of Jihai, Zhu Tong was promoted to the position of 'Golden Guard' in 1,000 households; Gengzi, the 'Golden Cavalry' destroyed the city wall of the 'Xiaoice City', and the 'Jingbian General' Fang Bing joined hands with Tetu to defend it and fell into a bitter battle; Xin Chou, the eunuch Li Xianshi asked for the shrine, Li Zhe asked for the shrine, and gave him 'Honghui'; Kwai Mao, Fang Bing reported the victory, and the eunuch Hu Liangchen asked for an increase in the annual salary of 600,000 yuan, and the 400,000 yuan.....

'Whew~~~~~~. The young man exhaled heavily, five ancestral halls in May, and eleven ancestral halls were built in only one month in June, Wu Jingguo's power was far greater than he imagined, and the courtiers' knots were even more bottomless, and they did everything they could. The young man was even more chilled, where were the courtiers who would rather be beaten up than speak out? Where was the arrogance of those scholars? Why were they all stammering and patting on the back, and in the paper scroll he did not see any courtiers refuting Wu Jingguo, let alone anyone who impeached Wu Jingguo, even one person.

"Master, it's not too early, let's rest. The eunuch looked at the young man with a worried face and persuaded him.

"Not at this moment, let's rest after watching it. The boy said.

The eunuch spoke no more.

The young man stabilized his mood a little, and continued to read, by July, the number of people who invited the shrine gradually decreased, and the number of people who were promoted gradually increased, and Fang Bing had also resigned and returned to his hometown, the young man frowned, and then found that there were more and more hereditary people who were added to the official rank, and by August, they had appeared in batches.

In August, on the first day of the first day, the eunuch Liang Dong supervised the weaving of 'Wei Meng' Erzhou; Yiwei, the 'Marquis of Xianzhou' Li Chengquan asked the minister Wu Feng Duke, hereditary (eunuchs can also be hereditary), waiting, serving Xu Shi, Sun Xian, supervising the imperial examination...... , there are 698 people inside and outside, and they are very sick, and they are eager to be noble.

From the beginning of July to the death of the former emperor, in less than two months, 698 people were promoted and sealed, almost all of whom were Wu Jingguo's people, and many of them were nepotism. Among them, the three marquis of 'Xiezhou', 'Zhongzhou', and 'Mengzhou' were all awarded the title of Taishi, and they were promoted from the second product to the first product, and the military department Ren Siyi was crowned from the rank of young master of the first product, and the vast majority of the ministers who asked for the temple were promoted, and the inner dynasty, the outer dynasty, the Beijing official, the local official, the civilian, the military position, and the martial arts were all in the bag, and even the military affairs of Beichuan Wu Jingguo did not let go, and the ability was not known, and the people who used it were all their cronies, but fortunately, there was no news of the defeat of the city for the time being.

Looking at these things one by one, the young man was flustered, powerless, and even had no strength to do so.

"Nian'en, what is written above is true?"

"Master, the ministers in the court know all these things, and most of them can't be faked. ”

"You weren't found when you copied it, were you?"

"Please rest assured, no one has found out. ”

"Don't talk to anyone. ”

"Yes. ”

"Master, do you want to secretly put a few guards in?"

"No, there are people from Wu Jingguo inside and outside, we can't insert it, not to mention that if he wants to move me, we can't stop it with a few guards, and it's safest not to guard against it now. ”

"Yes. The eunuch said. "Master, there is one thing I don't know whether to say or not. ”

"Tell me, what's the bad news?"

"Some time ago, it rained and the 'Feilong River' flooded more than 2,000 hectares of fields along the river. ”

"More than 2,000 dumps? Isn't the water level of this year's 'Feilong River' not as high as last year's, how could a heavy rain flood so many fields?" the young man couldn't believe it.

The eunuch said: "I heard that after a loud noise that day, a huge wave suddenly soared into the sky on the 'Feilong River', flooding countless fields and killing many people. ”

The young man sighed: "More than two thousand hectares, and a lot of silver. ”

The boy left his seat and walked out, the moonlight was shining, cold and quiet.

He was at a loss, he was worried, a pressure that had never been felt before weighed heavily on his thin shoulders, he didn't know how long he could sit in this position, let alone how to change his situation, he was the emperor, but there was no one around him, the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty He didn't know who to believe, who to believe, all this can only be guessed, guessed wrong, maybe his throne and his own life will end here, so he can only wait, wait for a change, wait for a counteroffensive opportunity.

In the distance, several 'dragon guards' patrolled the night, led by a drunken impermanence dressed in white, followed by Zhao Yi and others. Everyone saw the young man bow in unison.

"The emperor is so interested, he doesn't sleep in the middle of the night and goes out for a walk. "Impermanence came lazily and just hugged his fists.

The young man frowned, he was very disgusted with this person, and his scalp was numb when he saw this person, although he knew that all the 'Dragon Guards' had no respect for him in his heart, but the kung fu on face still had to be in place, and he was as proud as Zhao Ji still had a good etiquette and rules, only this impermanence was unreasonable. No matter what he says, he is also the current emperor, and it is inevitable to be angry when he is treated like this, but he knows that he can't afford to offend this sesame mung bean-like petty official now, he is still very dangerous in the palace now, he needs to be forbearant and show weakness.

"Fourth, pay attention to your identity. Zhao Ji was quite angry. It's not that he is afraid that he will be cut off by the emperor because of his impermanence.

The young man suppressed the anger in his heart, and said with a smile indifferently: "It's okay, you martial arts practitioners are straightforward, and there are no outsiders here who don't have to stick to etiquette. ”

"Okay, it's rare that the emperor is interested. But martial arts training is hard work, can the emperor afford it?"

The young man smiled faintly and said, "Reading is also hard work, and Lord Yu can't help but look too squeamish." ”

"Hehe, that's good, the emperor wants to learn, and the ministers are waiting for him at any time. But you need some compensation, and the emperor can't be reluctant to do so at that time. ”

"Of course. ”

The young man smiled, turned around and walked away, and the eunuch Xu Nianen followed.

The young man's clenched fists hung down in his sleeves, his body trembled a little, and his steps were as fast as one step, and the eunuch couldn't keep up.

"Master, slow down, be careful of falling. ”

The boy didn't seem to hear it. An incomparably firm belief surged up in my heart: "Power! I want power, I want to solve Wu Jingguo, I can't wait for a day, an hour, or a moment." ”

The eunuch Xu Nianen sighed secretly. The ministers are not like the ministers, the ministers are not like the ministers, and the officials are even more spineless, and now even a guard dares to be so arrogant, and the way of the monarch and the minister is gone. What kind of world is this?
