Ming Dynasty: At the beginning, the house was ransacked and the ancestral temple was burned down.

Chapter 111 The three kings are conferred together! Written in blood! Rehabilitate Zhang Juzheng?

"Why are you so stupid?"

Zhang Chonghui showed no mercy and said this directly to Shen Yiguan.

It was as if he was the 'elder' and the sixty-year-old man in front of him was his 'junior'.

Shen Yiguan blushed and was about to reprimand the other person, "No big deal, no big deal", but Zhang Chonghui beat him to it and said:
  "If you want to solve a problem, you must first put aside the surface of the problem and look at its essence! In the case of the demon book, you only saw the surface of the problem!"

"The essence of the demon book case...?" Shen Guanyi was so confused by Zhang Chonghui that his mind was a little dizzy, but it was not difficult for him at this level. He thought for a while and replied:

"Isn't the essence just to get rid of Shen Shixing and drag your Zhang family into trouble? Finally, there will be another big change in the court, reshuffling the cards and replacing the party in power?"

"Stupid!" Zhang Chonghui shook his head repeatedly and explained: "I'm talking about the essence of 'solving' this problem, not the 'actual' essence of people with ulterior motives stirring up trouble and seeking personal gain."

Being called stupid by a "kid" one after another, Shen Yiguan's old face became more and more embarrassed. Before he had time to think about the "solution essence" and "actual essence", Zhang Chonghui actually took the initiative to tell the answer.

"The essence of the demon book case is indeed that someone wants to use the issue of 'establishing a crown prince' to reshuffle the court situation!"

Zhang Chonghui first 'affirmed' one of the other party's 'views' and then continued:

"But you only saw the surface layer, but it's actually more than that! Do you think the emperor asked Wang Xijue to come back? Is it just to let him solve a demon book case?
  wrong! Big mistake! The emperor wants to borrow Wang Xijue's hand to make his favorite third son the crown prince! "

At this moment, Shen Yiguan seemed to have something to say and wanted to refute, but Zhang Chonghui suppressed the other party forcefully, without giving him any chance to think, and asked several questions in succession, saying:
  "Don't you think about it carefully, how long has it been? There are actually demon books circulating in the capital! Do the yamen of Shuntian Prefecture live on dry food? Do the cool officials of Jinyiwei live on dry food? The fans of Dongchang Are you guys living on a dry diet again?"

At this point, Shen Yiguan's face was full of astonishment, and he asked in disbelief:

"You mean...the mastermind of the demon book case...is really the emperor? Is the emperor really behind all this?"
  Although the ministers in the DPRK and the Central Government have all thought so, it seems... unlikely, right?

After all, Concubine Zheng was involved later... This shouldn't be the case... Could it be that the emperor wanted to risk his life and survive? "

Shen Yiguan asked several questions one after another. However, this time, Zhang Chonghui did not give a 'detailed explanation'. He only said three words with profound meaning:
  "if not?"

Shen Yiguan's eyes became more and more astonished. He didn't expect that Zhang Chonghui could actually see through the layers of 'secrets' behind this 'demon book case'!
  This actually made Shen Yiguan, who was still a little suspicious that Zhang Chonghui was being 'instigated' by others, had to completely change his mind - all this was Zhang Chonghui's own idea!

"So? What does this have to do with me being in the cabinet? What should I do?"

Shen Guangyuan asked eagerly. Unknowingly, he had not noticed that he had been led into the rhythm by the other party.

"Of course it does matter." Zhang Chonghui said naturally:
  "Going back to the beginning, the reason why Wang Xijue was able to join the cabinet was because the emperor needed him, and he could also solve the emperor's urgent needs.

There is an urgent need now, so Mr. Shen, you should understand by now what you need to do to join the ministry and cabinet, right? "

The answer was just a step away, but Zhang Chonghui did not reveal the answer. Instead, he asked Shen Yiguan to answer the question himself.

Some things require a sense of 'participation' in order to feel more involved.

After all, the answers you give are often more convincing to your brain than the answers given by others!
  Sure enough, as if he was afraid that Zhang Chonghui would announce the answer first, Shen Yiguan answered eagerly and excitedly:
  "I know! The emperor's 'urgent need' is not the demon book case at all! 'Establishing a prince' is the 'fundamental' of the most important thing! The establishment of a prince is the whole problem, the most fundamental reason!
  Therefore, I can only solve the issue of establishing a crown prince for the emperor! This is the real solution to the problem! Really solved the emperor's urgent need! "

Faced with Shen Yiguan's quick answer, Zhang Chonghui acknowledged and encouraged calmly: "Well, that's it."

The people who are 'guided' and inspired, whether they are a sixty-year-old man or a six-year-old child, are actually very different in their 'essence'.

Not to mention that this was a sixty-year-old man who had just been scolded as "stupid" twice in a row and was eager to "prove himself."

Many times, human nature is the same, regardless of age or other things. After all, human nature is to like to listen to good things.

"So...how should we solve the issue of establishing a crown prince?"

After a brief period of excitement, Shen Yiguan regained his composure. After all, he was no longer young. Moreover, now there is a new 'problem' bothering him.

"The emperor's intention is to make the third son of the emperor the crown prince, but this goes against the rules of the ancestors, and the ministers in the court will not agree. You can't let me do it with the entire court just to please the holy will, right?"

Shen Guanyi looked at Zhang Chonghui and raised the 'problem' that was bothering him and 'everyone'. At the end, he even added with a deliberate tone:

"I am not your grandfather Zhang Juzheng. I will not be stupid enough to offend the interests of an entire gentry group!"

Shen Yiguan did it on purpose. After realizing that an elder like him was being outdone by a junior like Zhang Chonghui, the old man was not happy and thought that he would have to ridicule the other person to vent his anger.

The most effective way to ridicule the Zhang family is to pull out the "famous" Zhang Juzheng to "whip the corpse."

"How stupid!"

Faced with Shen Yiguan's deliberate ridicule, Zhang Chonghui scored three times and scolded the old man for being stupid again. Then he even said deliberately:

"No wonder you couldn't even pass the second-level exam. It turns out it's because you're too stupid."

At this moment, as the "crane tail" player ranked 136th in the "Top Three", "Ni Lin" was stabbed by Zhang Chonghui, and Shen Yiguan exploded!
  "What's wrong with me, top three! After all, I'm still a disciple of the Emperor! What about you? You're a white boy! You're not even a child! Why are you laughing at me!"

After being retorted so excitedly by Shen Yiguan, Zhang Chonghui became extremely conceited for the first time. He even boasted shamelessly:
  "I'm not bragging. If it weren't for the fact that I am now the 'Queen of Sinners', let alone a mere child, even if I am a scholar, or even a scholar, it would only be a matter of the past few years!"

After hearing this "bullshit", Shen Yiguan suppressed the disdain that made him want to spit, and said softly:
  "Brother Chonghui, I'm not telling you that you think you are your grandfather Zhang Shentong?"

This time, Zhang Chonghui seemed to be stunned by the question and remained silent without answering.

Seeing that Zhang Chonghui was silent, Shen Yiguan thought that the other party was unhappy.

Worried that Zhang Chonghui would become angry and say something to his wife, Shen Yiguan hurriedly changed the subject and asked about the business:

"So, do you have any good way to 'perfectly' solve the issue of establishing a reserve?"

Shen Yiguan wanted to see what "advantages" this "child prodigy" who said he was "stupid" three times in a row could have!

"I can't say it's perfect." Zhang Chonghui waved his hand and said in a conceited tone:

"Considering the current situation, I'm afraid there is no other method in the world that is more 'best of both worlds' than my method."

Shen Yiguan raised his eyebrows and said with a strange smile: "How can we get the best of both worlds? Tell us?"

Zhang Chonghui didn't seem to hear the contempt in the other party's words. He just looked firmly and said four words loudly:

"The three kings are crowned together!"

Shen Yiguan was stunned almost instantly. Although his body in his sixties had begun to grow old, his mind was still moving very fast!

After a short period of rapid thinking, Shen Yiguan quickly understood what Zhang Chonghui's plan of 'three kings combined' was! "You mean to ask the emperor to make the eldest son, the third prince, and the newly born fifth prince a vassal king together, in order to delay the establishment of the crown prince?" Shen Yiguan asked with his eyes widened.

"Yes!" Zhang Chonghui nodded affirmatively. The next moment, he asked inexplicably: "Do you have paper and pen?"

"Ah... ah? Yes, yes." Shen Yiguan was a little curious as to why the other party wanted paper and pen, but he had the habit of carrying paper and pen with him.

"Take it out!" Zhang Chonghui said.

"I have paper and pen, but I don't have any ink." As Shen Guanyi spoke, he took out the brush and rice paper he carried with him from his sleeve.

Just when Shen Guanyi was about to ask the brothel waiter for an ink stick to grind, Zhang Chonghui's next move shocked him!

Zhang Chonghui suddenly grabbed Shen Yiguan's right hand with lightning speed!

"Hey! What are you doing? Let me go, kid! Help! Ah!!" Shen Yigui struggled and screamed!

However, an old man who is over 60 years old is really unable to withstand the 'strong force' of a strong young man!
  Even though Shen Yiguan was struggling in every possible way, Zhang Chonghui still scratched the palm of his hand with a small sharp blade he didn't know where to pull out!
  "Tick! Tick!"

Hot red blood dripped on the table. Zhang Chonghui grabbed Shen Yiguan's palm with one hand to bleed. He picked up the brush with the other hand and dipped it in the blood!
  "Are you crazy?" Shen Yiguan was so confused that he forgot to withdraw his injured palm. He just stared at Zhang Chonghui dumbfounded and asked, "You... you want to... write a blood book?"

"Yeah." Zhang Chonghui didn't explain too much. Seeing that the blood was almost drained, he finally squeezed hard!
  "Ah! Then you cut yourself! Why are you cutting me? It hurts!"

Accompanied by Shen's usual painful howl, Zhang Chonghui spread out the rice paper.

Before the blood solidified, the tip of the pen was soaked with warm blood and he quickly put pen to paper. "From left to right" he quickly wrote:

"Sage, it is said in Taizu's "Huang Ming Ancestor Instructions" that those who inherit the country are those who have direct descendants and those who have no direct descendants.

Nowadays, the queen of the middle palace has not given birth to a legitimate son. According to the ancestral etiquette, the eldest son of the emperor should be appointed as the crown prince.

However, the queen is still young and will give birth to a legitimate son one day. If the crown prince has been appointed by then, where will the legitimate son be placed?
  Therefore, I hope that the saint will first establish the three princes as kings, and then appoint the crown prince when the middle palace has nothing to do!

It is for the Holy Spirit that this spring and Autumn period will be prosperous, and the country will be peaceful and the people will be safe! This is because since ancient times, there have been differences between direct descendants and concubines, and it is the ancestral precepts to establish the direct descendants first! "

At this point, the blood has solidified into pulp and the 'blood book' has been written.

Zhang Chonghui put down his brush, blew the 'Blood Book' twice, turned to the stunned Shen Yiguan and said:
  "Submit this blood letter to the Holy One, and I, Zhang, guarantee that you will be able to 'advanced in the six divisions' within three days of shouldering me!"

Hearing such 'big talk', Shen Yiguan, who was already shocked, was even more shocked!
  Shen Yiguan had to admit that Zhang Chonghui's proposal of 'Three Kings to Confer Together' really surprised him!

Because the method of "simultaneously sealing three kings" not only fulfills the wish of His Majesty the Emperor, but also takes into account the ancestral etiquette. As a result, even if the ministers of the previous dynasty wanted to find fault, they probably wouldn't be able to.

Such a method is indeed 'unique' at present and offers the 'best of both worlds'. But if you think about it carefully, you will find that there are still some things that don't work.

"This...I always feel it's not appropriate..." Shen Yiguan began to get entangled.

Zhang Chonghui, on the other hand, looked confident and asked with a calm expression, ready to answer the other's questions: "What's not right?"

Shen Yiguan was shocked again when he saw this. He stopped hiding it and said directly:

"The emperor's original intention is to establish the third son of the emperor as the crown prince. Your method of 'conferring the title of three kings at the same time' is indeed effective, but it can only delay the opportunity to appoint the crown prince..."

What if... the queen really gives birth to a legitimate son in the future? Will there be another bloody storm between the DPRK and China?
  By then, I will not only offend the current eldest son of the emperor! It offended the emperor even more! "

"Stupid!" Zhang Chonghui cursed again.

Shen Yiguan had already scored four goals and was scolded as "stupid". He was already a little numb, and he was too lazy to argue.

Now, Shen Yiguan just wanted to know what other methods Zhang Chonghui had that he had not yet revealed. He urgently pressed:
  "What do you have to say? Come on, tell me!"

"I can't say Gao Jian, I just think you are too stupid." Zhang Chonghui shook his head repeatedly. He did not answer directly, but asked a question:

"Master Shen, do you really think that the queen can give birth to a legitimate son?"

"What do you mean...?" Shen Yiguan seemed to understand.

"Let me ask you, since the birth of Princess Rongchang, how many times has the emperor been to the Queen's Palace?" Zhang Chonghui asked.

Shen Yiguan was embarrassed: "I'm not the eunuch who waits for the emperor to turn over his cards...how do I know..."

"That's not the key to the problem!" Zhang Chonghui suddenly became serious and said:

"Let me tell you this, it is absolutely impossible for the Queen to have another legitimate son! The Emperor will never let the Queen give birth to a legitimate son!
  And what do you think is behind this 'three kings sealing together' method? Do you think it is to delay the queen until she is too old to have children?
  wrong! Big mistake! 'Three Kings Conferring Confessions' ultimately drags down not the queen's inability to give birth! But to drag it until the queen dies! "

"What did you say?" Shen Yiguan was stunned again and hurriedly lowered his voice to warn: "How can you curse the queen like this! You don't want your life!"

Of course, there was another sentence: "Don't drag me into the water if you want to die." Shen Yiguan didn't say it. After all, the crime of 'cursing' the mother of a country was enough to make Shen Yiguan, the 'auditor', very unlucky!
  Zhang Chonghui ignored Shen Yiguan's fear and continued:
  "I heard that the Queen has been seriously ill for a long time, and I'm afraid her time is running out. The ultimate goal of this 'Three Kings' Conferment' has only one goal, and that is to delay the Queen's illness until she dies!
  Once the queen dies, the emperor will be able to make Concubine Zheng the queen! By then, the third prince will be his legitimate legitimate son!
  Being so fair and aboveboard not only satisfies the emperor's desire to appoint the third prince as the crown prince, it completely solves the emperor's urgent need, and it also makes it impossible for the civil servants of the dynasty to find fault!
  So I’ve said it a long time ago, it’s not difficult to get into the club! After the blood letter is submitted, it's time for you to 'join the ministry'! The day when the 'three kings are sealed' will be the day when you join the cabinet! right? Shen Yuanfu! "

At this point, Shen Yiguan understood everything. Zhang Chonghui's last sentence "Shen Yuanfu" ignited his blood!

Enter the club!

Enter the cabinet!

The chief minister of the cabinet!

With his blood boiling, Shen Yiguan seemed to have seen the scene of the 'Zhejiang Party' standing in the court! By then, there will be two capitals and thirteen provinces in the Ming Dynasty! It will all be controlled by them Zhejiang people!
  "So, why do you want to help me?" Shen Guangyuan was excited, but he calmed down and asked the key point.

He is as steady as an old dog and doesn't believe that Zhang Chonghui helped him "enter the ministry and the cabinet" because of some bullshit "skeletal surprise". There is definitely a conspiracy in this!

Faced with Shen Yiguan's sudden calmness of suspicion, Zhang Chonghui was not prepared to hide it. He directly stated his purpose.

"Master Shen, when I help you enter the ministry, I really want you to help me with something."

"what's up?"

"I want you to help rehabilitate my grandfather."

As soon as these words fell, they sounded like silent thunder!

Silent, but also deafening!
