I am the carpenter king

() Seeing the eyes of several people looking at him, the old man felt a little certain in his heart, those worries seemed to have disappeared.Sighing softly, the old man said in a deep voice: "You can't find out what happened to Ye Xianggao again. Whether he was murdered or died of illness, it is the most appropriate time for him to die. Kill Ye Xianggao." He didn't want to fight us to the death, but he just wanted to tell us through Ye Xianggao's death that he already knew we were behind it."

Several people looked at each other, and one of them said hesitantly: "Da Ru, if that's the case, why didn't you take advantage of Ye Xianggao's death? As long as you check his death, you can find the murderer. It can also find out the people behind the scenes!"

Shaking his head slowly, the old man said with a smile: "Check Ye Zhigao? How can you check it! It's against the rules for a senior scholar to be involved in government affairs. If we find out about Liaodong, then we really Everyone will be implicated. So the old man said, he died at the right time, and those people don't want to break with us exactly. Killing Ye Xianggao in this way is a balance."

The person sitting under the old man sighed softly, and said in a deep voice: "Men, just like this, the Liaodong line will be broken? Isn't this a big loss?"

Gently shaking his head, the old man sighed deeply, and said in a deep voice: "It's really a pity over there in Liaodong, but it's a good thing that it's broken now. This time, Xiong Tingbi's matter has not been resolved yet, and the court has An unprecedented victory has been achieved in Liaodong. There is no external pressure, and many internal things should be brought up."

The people around nodded their heads half-understood. Seeing their bewildered looks, the old man shook his head with a wry smile, and then continued: "The emperor has been enthroned for half a year now? He is just a 16-year-old young man, But who of you knows this young man's temper? Likes? Personality?"

All the people present shook their heads blankly, and looked at the old man again.

Gently shaking his head, the old man sighed, and then said in a deep voice: "That's why the old man is worried! You see, since the emperor ascended the throne, he seems to have done nothing, but let's take a look at the current court and the past. What's the difference. Let's start with the above, starting from the cabinet. Although Fang Congzhe was the chief assistant of the cabinet back then, we had two great scholars in the cabinet, one was Gu Zhen and the other was Han Kuang. As for Liu Yijing, although he was not our Income, but it is similar to ours. Let’s talk about the six books, we have Li Ruhua, Minister of Officials, Wang Linguang, Minister of Industry, Yao Zongwen, Minister of Military Affairs, and Sun Ruyou, Minister of Rites. Our old opponents, they only hold the Ministry of Punishment. Minister Wu Liangsi."

After taking a look at everyone, the old man continued: "Look at the present, Ye Xianggao wanted to bring down Fang Congzhe, but in the end Fang Congzhe was gone, but Sun Chengzong came out. Then came the case of Xiong Tingbi. We got nothing but lost It can be said that he lost his husband and lost his army. Besides the six ministers, Li Ruhua, minister of the Ministry of officials, retired early in the morning. His name was to replace him with Zhou Jiamo, but in fact, you all know that Zhou Jiamo and us are not on the same page. Online, we can’t get along. Then because of Ye Xianggao, Wang Linguang also resigned, and he was replaced by Yuan Yingtai, the original governor of Liaodong. We all know this guy, he has no party affiliation, let’s take a look now.”

The old man took a sip of his wine, and then said in a deep voice, "We have two cabinet scholars, two six ministers, then Sun Chengzong's side, a cabinet chief assistant scholar, a Zuodu censor from the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and finally our old man. On the opponent's side, there are two six ministers. This is much simpler. It seems that we still occupy the dominant position in the court, but once the two parties join forces, then we are definitely not opponents. In other words, in a short period of time In half a year, we have changed from a position of absolute advantage to what we are now."

Hearing the old man's words, the surrounding people suddenly took a breath of air-conditioning o!It seems that there is no change, but before you know it, the whole court has become a three-legged trend o!It sounds like there is no difference between the three-legged confrontation and the two factions fighting, but the real situation is quite different.If two factions are fighting, as long as you defeat the other side, you can dominate the court. Of course, the wise emperor will not allow anyone to do so.

It's just that balancing the relationship between the two factions is a very advanced knowledge. If you get caught in the struggle between the two factions, it will be difficult for even the emperor to have the energy to take care of other things.But the three parties are different. As long as two of the parties are particularly fierce, one party will definitely take advantage of it.Your two parties are fighting extremely fiercely, and the third party will definitely not ignore it and just send charcoal in the snow, then they will merge into one.

Seeing that everyone's expressions became serious, the old man said slowly: "Now we are like Cao Wei in the Three Kingdoms period. Although we are the most powerful, we are no match for those two parties. Although Liu Bei and Sun Quan have conflicts, they will definitely be very consistent when dealing with us." Sighing deeply, the old man said helplessly: "In just half a year, the court has become like this, Although the local power is still weaker than Sun Chengzong's side, but next year will be Liwei, and as long as he presides over a big exam, all the students and old officials will come.

You drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, and said angrily, "How could this happen? Why did this happen?"

The old man smiled indifferently, and then said: "Actually, the old man didn't want to understand it at first, but this time when the Liaodong incident happened, the old man realized it. Behind everything, there seems to be someone pushing him. Never showing up, never coming out straight up. Always taking advantage of someone from behind, taking advantage of the situation, so we've been ignoring him."

All the people held their breath and looked at the old man urgently, only one person had a serious and terrible face, and the hand holding the wine glass was constantly trembling.After drinking the half-sprinkled wine, the man stretched out his hand and pointed upwards, and said in disbelief, "Could it be him you're talking about?"

The old man nodded slowly, shook his head with a wry smile, and then said dejectedly: "We didn't pay attention to him, and we all thought that a young man who had never read a book understood something, but it was this young man who only spent half a year Time will ruin our painstaking efforts for so many years."

The man shook his head with a wry smile, and said sadly: "If it's really him, then this time things will be troublesome."

The old man took a sip of his wine and said slowly: "If it is really him, then the great victory in Liaodong this time will bring more than just a great victory. When the external pressure is gone, it is time to deal with the internal. Sun Chengzong can be appointed to fight Such a big victory can change the appearance of the court unconsciously in half a year, what else can we do?"

Seeing that the old man was a little depressed, the people below looked at each other in blank dismay, and some people tentatively asked: "Could we have made a mistake? The emperor has just ascended the throne for half a year, and he is only 16 years old this year. How can he have such a mind?"

Shaking his head slowly, the old man said with a wry smile: "I also hope that my thoughts are wrong, but after many deliberations, I know that there is nothing wrong. These are all written by the emperor."

Everyone looked at each other, then looked at the old man nervously, and asked in a deep voice: "Then what will the emperor do next?"

The old man pondered for a moment, and said hesitantly: "The emperor didn't do anything before. Firstly, it was because he had just ascended the throne, and secondly, because foreign enemies were eyeing him. After this incident, within a few years, the slaves in Liaodong had no Come to attack our strength. And through this matter, the emperor's prestige is also the same for a while, and there is no such thing as lack of qualifications."

"Then we can use the old method! If it doesn't work, we'll hear about it and write a letter to force the palace." A strange light flashed in his eyes, and he said resolutely.

"The current emperor grew up in a very complicated environment. He has lived a precarious life since he was a child. Wandering between the two women, Concubine Zheng and Li Xuan, not only survived successfully, but also won the favor of Lord Wanli. Without canonization When the crown prince was crown prince, the emperor’s grandson was already registered first. We all underestimated him before, this emperor is not easy. The old man recently got the news that half a year ago, on the night of the emperor’s ascension to the throne, he was killed in the Forbidden City. Thousands of palace maids and eunuchs are not lenient in their actions." The old man's face was very ugly, and he continued with a deep expression: "Don't forget, what did Emperor Hongwu do when he drove? Now The emperor didn't do that, not necessarily because he didn't have that idea, but because he didn't have that ability."

The person who was the first to guess the identity of Emperor Yaoqi just now also shook his head with a wry smile, and said in a deep voice: "Now that the emperor has this prestige and this idea, then he will definitely do it next. One thing I'm afraid is cleaning the court."

The old man nodded approvingly, and then said with a stern face: "Yes, this is probably the emperor's next plan. But this is not what the old man is worried about. If the emperor insists, we have our own way. Just."

The entrance on one side said: "It's just that the emperor won't do this. He was able to change the situation in the court through the promotion of several people without us noticing. Such an emperor would never come here clearly. That would make him lose the hearts of the people and the hearts of scholars."

The old man smiled wryly and said: "This is where the incident happened. The emperor will not force it. He must have made the best use of the situation. If this is the case, we will be in real trouble."

"Are we just waiting to die like this? Find a way!" A man stood up abruptly, and said with some urgency.
