I am a stubborn stone, but I can mend the sky!

Chapter 123 Breaking the news
Li Sigang appeared at the door of the study, when he heard the people inside discussing himself.

He casually knocked out the guard who was about to shout, then coughed lightly, pushed open the door and walked in.

"You guys go out, I have something to talk to His Majesty."

Li Si was too lazy to deal with a few old officials, so he threw them out of the study with a wave of his hand.

Wanli was startled when he saw Li Si, but then he forcibly stabilized his emotions and said with a smile:

"The national teacher has something to do, just send someone to inform me, why do you need to go there yourself?"

Although Zhu Yijun is not as good as Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di, he is not a weak and ignorant son-in-law. Even if he has some fear and resentment in his heart, he can control his emotions.

Li Si waved his hand and said, "My business is a trivial matter. I just asked His Majesty to ask for some servants. But just now I heard that His Majesty is going to deal with Zhang Juzheng's party members, so I want to dissuade you."

He has nothing to do with Zhang Juzheng, but the talents cultivated by Zhang Juzheng can stabilize the court very well.

And Li Si's plan to mend the sky needs a prosperous and stable Central Plains dynasty to accumulate the power of humanity, so he spoke to dissuade them, wanting to keep these talents.

Wanli was silent for a moment, and then asked in a low voice after a while:

"Does the national teacher also think that Zhang Juzheng has done the right thing in the past ten years?"

Li Si shook his head and said, "Zhang Ju is just like Shang Yang, so it's better not to discuss it lightly, Your Majesty."

"After King Qin Huiwen came to the throne, he quickly tore Shang Yang apart, but he killed his people and used his method. With such courage, he achieved the great cause of the Great Qin."

"And now that Zhang Juzheng is dead, His Majesty doesn't need to kill him to tarnish his reputation."

"Why don't you recruit a group of his party members, exile a group, further deepen his reforms, and let Daming enter a truly prosperous age!"

The ass decides the position. What Li Si needs is a prosperous dynasty, so he naturally supports Zhang Juzheng's reforms, even if he thinks that Lao Zhang is really overstepping.

If others say these things, Wanli will have to kick him to Qiongzhou (Hainan Island) even if he does not kill him.

But when Master Li Daguo spoke, no matter how rebellious Zhu Yijun was, he had to listen carefully.

"Your Majesty, if you really can't get angry, you can use Zhang Juzheng's personal virtues to fire. It doesn't matter even if you smear it a little bit blacker. As long as the reform continues, I will support you!"

Li Si Shenzhou Realm has also been aggrieved, and he can probably understand Wanli's unwillingness, so he pointed out a way for him to vent.

Hearing this, Wanli's complexion improved a lot. He immediately walked to Li Si's side and said solemnly:

"National teacher, don't worry, I will definitely carry out the reform, and it will bring Daming into a truly prosperous age!"

After all, it was a young man in his teens, stroked his hair, and his emotions were quickly mobilized.

Of course, this is also due to strength. Wanli knew that he could not resist Li Si, so he had an outlet and accepted the other party's proposal.

"Well, the officials His Majesty is going to exile, don't rush to throw them out. I have some places to arrange for them later. Once they go there, they will never be able to return to the Central Plains!" Li Si nodded and said.

Wanli asked with some surprise: "Is the national teacher planning to send them out to sea?"

The Ming Dynasty was not the previous dynasties. Since Zheng He's seven voyages to the West during the Yongle period, the emperors of all dynasties have learned a lot about overseas.

"It is sent overseas, but it is very far away."

After thinking about it, Li decided to reveal part of his plan first.

"Your Majesty, the population of Daming is now close to 8000 million, almost reaching the upper limit of the population of the Central Plains. In the next hundred years, natural disasters and man-made disasters will continue. If you are not careful, there will be wars everywhere, and Daming is likely to perish."

As soon as Li Si finished speaking, a female voice came from outside the study: "Is the national teacher a little alarmist?"

Immediately afterwards, Empress Dowager Li pushed the door open and entered, and the three ministers who had been thrown out by Li Si also bit the bullet and followed in.

"Now the Daming government treasury is full, the army is strong and horses are strong, even if there are a few small people around the border, it is just a disease of scabies. How can the country be destroyed within a hundred years?"

Empress Dowager Li is not an ignorant woman. She has been secretly controlling the court these years and knows everything about the Ming dynasty. Naturally, she does not want to believe that this country will be destroyed within a hundred years.

But Li Si didn't have the patience to persuade the other party slowly, and he also knew how stubborn a strong-willed woman was to what she believed, so when the door of the study was closed, he began to explode wildly.

"The 48th year of Wanli, the 16st month of Taichang, the 60th year of Apocalypse, and the [-]th year of Chongzhen, this is the remaining time of the Ming Dynasty. It is only [-] years since Zhu Youjian, the last Ming Sizong, hanged himself on Meishan !"

Li Si's words were like thunder, and the other five people in the study were stunned.

Some of them didn't believe it, some didn't want to believe it, some wanted to faint immediately, pretending they didn't hear anything, and some were thinking about the reason for the fall of Ming Dynasty.

"The 48th year of Wanli... It seems that I can still live!" Zhu Yijun shook his head with a wry smile.

His mood at this moment is definitely the most complicated one.

If Li Si was telling the truth, he would still be emperor for 38 years, making him the longest reigning emperor in the Ming Dynasty.

But if this is the case, doesn't it mean that after more than 20 years of his death, Ming Dynasty will be destroyed?
In this way, how could he, the emperor who has been in power for 48 years, have no responsibility?

"Your Majesty is quite able to live, and almost killed the prince!" Li Si said with a light smile.

Wanli shook his head again, and was about to speak when he was interrupted by Empress Dowager Li:

"Is this the fate of the Ming Dynasty that was divined by the national teacher? But even Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng in the Tang Dynasty could only calculate some vague contents. How could the national teacher understand such details?"

Li Si smiled and said, "It's not that they can't see clearly, but they dare not speak out."

"In the Tang Dynasty, there was still a 'God', and practitioners had scruples about what they said and what they did."

"If such a major event as the fate of the country is clearly stated, there will be a thunder disaster on the spot, and no matter how powerful it is, it will be turned into ashes."

If you want to fool the people of a country, in addition to strong strength, you have to make up the story, otherwise, once a flaw is exposed, it will easily lead to the collapse of the overall credibility.

Li Si didn't want to work hard on building and governing the country, so he had to put more effort into making up stories so as not to accidentally reveal his flaws.

"Then there is no God now?" Queen Mother Li was suspicious, and immediately asked after hearing it.

Li Si shook his head and said: "It's not that there is no 'God', but a major event happened at the end of Tang Dynasty, which caused 'God' to become weaker and weaker, until now, he is almost unconscious."

"Otherwise, like I did last time, breaking into the palace and killing officials, Emperor Wei Ling, the catastrophe should have come down long ago, how can I live until now?"

What he said was undisguised, but anyone who could stand in the study at this moment knew what to listen to and what not to listen to.

Some content that is not suitable for listening will naturally be filtered out by both ears, and the remaining part is information that must be understood.
