Wanli 1592

Chapter 720 Eventful Autumn
Shen's consistent idea is to use a polite tone as much as possible so that the emperor can feel his sincerity, so as not to be greatly annoyed by this and reduce his impression points. After all, if he wants to become the chief assistant, he must be appointed by the emperor. only then.

If the emperor is upset, the emperor will let you not be the chief assistant, and you will be disgusted to death.

Shen has always been unwilling.

However, there are also countless supporters under him who hope that he will confront the emperor head-on. They are the basic team for his administration after he becomes the chief assistant.

The cabinet minister is such an extremely embarrassing existence.

Want to please both sides, but just can't do it.

Zhao Zhigao didn't care anymore, he was pulled out to make up the numbers, because he didn't have anyone below to support him, and he didn't have a mature ruling team. Zhao Zhigao's cabinet was empty, which made him have no extra entanglements, and he could directly fall to the emperor and help the emperor stand Many courtiers shelled.

Although he couldn't do anything, but a qualified doormat saved Zhu Yijun from being bombarded with more tragic mental pollution. This is Zhao Zhigao's greatest contribution.

However, this is an insult to Shen Yiguan. He has ambitions and goals, and cannot allow himself to fall into such a situation, but he has to use the emperor's golden mouth to obtain the position of the chief assistant of the cabinet, and maintain a certain relationship with the emperor. .

It is difficult to be a human being, it is even more difficult to be an official, and it is even more difficult to be an official in the cabinet...

At this moment, Shen Yiguan inevitably felt the same way.

Not to mention that there is an emperor who is sharpening his sword and swearing at the officials, and there is another general who is sharpening his knife and swearing at the officials. At this moment, it is really troublesome, but at this time the emperor still thinks that the matter is not big enough. To make matters worse and muddy the water even more, Shen Yiguan roughly guessed what the emperor was thinking, but he had no choice but to follow the emperor's thinking.

Eventful autumn, eventful autumn!

Shen Yiguan even looked enviously at the giant Buddha surnamed Zhao who was pretending to be asleep.

he……

Is it really sleeping or fake sleeping?Comfortable?
Shen Yiguan took the lead in presenting the watch, and the play was soon delivered to Zhu Yijun. Zhu Yijun flipped it over a little, and a smug smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"This old guy, thinking of getting the best of both worlds, didn't dare to offend me. He was afraid that I wouldn't give him the title of chief minister of the cabinet, but he didn't dare to offend the ministers. He was afraid that he would not be able to govern smoothly in the future and his foundation would be unstable. Now he is in a dilemma. , Ridiculous, ridiculous!"

Zhang Cheng stood beside Zhu Yijun and poured tea for Zhu Yijun.

"Isn't this the master's request? Make the cabinet and the officials mess up, so as to create momentum for General Xiao and the others."

Zhu Yijun took a deep breath and let it out slowly.

"Yeah, build momentum, it's impossible not to create momentum, such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, if you don't take advantage of this opportunity to make things big, and make the city full of storms and everyone knows about it, it's uncertain when those bastards will suppress it , how can Xiao Qing get up?"

Zhang Cheng brought the tea to Zhu Yijun's hand, and said softly: "Master, there are some things that this old slave should say or not."

Zhu Yijun squinted at Zhang Cheng.

"Go ahead."

"Yes."

Zhang Cheng said softly: "For this important event, it is nothing for the master to reward General Xiao, but it is too thick. According to the rules of the Ming Dynasty, the title of Lord Qin should not be awarded to ministers with foreign surnames. Now that the big event is over, isn’t General Xiao’s situation very embarrassing? How can he deal with himself afterwards?”

"Even if you think like this, you can imagine how worried and anxious those old guys outside are all day long."

Zhu Yijun shook his head slightly: "This is my purpose, just fishing in troubled waters. As for the title of Lord Qin, to be honest, I don't care. Tang Taizong did receive this title, but that happened hundreds of years ago. The world has revenge for three generations. , how many generations have passed, why should you care so much about a mere "Qin"?"

"Master really intends to give General Xiao this title?"

Zhu Yijun nodded: "If Xiao Qing can be made more loyal to me, mere titles are not in my eyes. If he has nothing to do, I will make his parents, his brothers, his wife, and his wife Son, there is always a way to repay, so there is no such thing as a reward or no reward in the world, but the jealousy is indelible together, and there is no need to find a reason."

"Master...you really have a big heart!"

Zhu Yijun was silent for a while, then shook his head with a wry smile.

"Minister of Civil and Military Affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, Xiao Qing is the only one who is willing to tell me the truth, so that I can know what happened in places I can't see, and let me know how much of this great tomorrow belongs to me, how much Has belonged to someone else.

I named Xiao Qing the Duke of Qin, and Duke Qin is nothing more than a famous title, but what those big rats want is my real foundation. What they are digging out is what is really important to Ming Dynasty. Compared with those things, a Duke of Qin , so what? "

Zhang Cheng hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is far-sighted, I admire you!"

"Don't talk about it. This time, Xiao Qing gave me a big surprise. If I don't grasp such a good opportunity, it will be a pity. The purpose of making Xiao Qing the Duke of Qin is to shock the civil officials. , So, Zhang Cheng, send me this memorandum, no, it must be the Duke of Qin! Let Shen Yiguan handle it by himself!"

Zhang Cheng immediately said: "Old slave obeys the order!"

Zhu Yijun's determination was quickly conveyed back to the cabinet through the rejection of the memorial. Shen Yiguan looked at the rejected memorial with a headache, and echoed in his ears the emperor's meaning conveyed by Zhang Cheng - it must be Duke Qin.

The emperor's will has always been relatively firm...

No, rather than firmness, it is more stubborn, the kind of stubbornness that is extremely stubborn.

Shen has always been clear that he has been able to confront his officials from the 15th year of Wanli to the 26th year of Wanli. The emperor has not changed his will for ten years. He always has his own opinions, which he does not compromise with his officials.

This situation itself shows how stubborn their Majesty Wanli is. Shen has always been unsure that he can handle things that several capital assistants can't handle, but at this moment, the emperor's stubbornness has violated , For Shen Yiguan, it was a terrible thing.

Looking at the weird eyes of his colleagues, Shen always knew that the choice that had been placed in front of Shen Shixing, Wang Xijue, Zhao Zhigao and others countless times was once again placed in front of him.
