Rule the Ming Dynasty Alone

The sun is shining brightly in the capital, and the entire Forbidden City is bathed in golden sunshine.

"Matsushita asked Tongsheng, and the teacher went to collect medicine. Only in this mountain, Yun Shen did not know where to go! This is the case in the court, and it is also the same in the inner court. What they are fighting for is nothing more than fame and fortune. None of them can be as indifferent as the Za family Fame and fortune!”

Wearing a royal python robe, Wynn was lying on a bamboo chair in the courtyard basking in the sun. After a few days of being tortured by the wind and cold, he already had a new understanding of life, and was sighing with emotion.

It's just that at this time, he is the chief minister of etiquette, and the number of disciples and disciples in the inner court must be eighty if not one hundred. Now he is even served by young eunuchs and maids.

"Ancestor, these are the oranges that have just been sent from Huainan. Try them! Everyone says that you are as wise as Kong Ming and as wise as Xie An. If a young man takes part in the imperial examination, he will definitely be the number one scholar!" Wei Bin will peel it. The orange was brought to Wynn's mouth, and then he flattered him with a smooth tongue.

Wynn opened his mouth slightly, then tasted a piece of sweet orange and said: "I can't say for sure the number one scholar, but if a mixed family enters the court, he will definitely become a wise minister! But it's not too bad now. Since ancient times, eunuchs have been The government and the public regard it as a cancer, but now that the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty mention the Zajia, who doesn’t know that the Zajia is a person who can clearly distinguish between right and wrong and deserves to be the most virtuous eunuch since the Ming Dynasty!"

"The reputation of our ancestors is resounding throughout the government and the public. We can say that we are number one in the current government and a role model for our generation!" Wei Bin continued to peel the oranges and continued to speak respectfully.

Wynn spit out the orange core in his mouth onto the plate held by the palace maid next to him, and seemed to be talking in a lively manner: "Take this orange as an example, why do oranges in the south turn into tangerines in the north? This is the term 'near red'. "Red, the one who is close to the ink will be black" principle. You younger generation should stay away from Liang Fang and Guo Yong. They have little education, so they only know how to please Your Majesty. But our inner court has to learn from the outer court. Loyalty will only go against the ears. Good medicine, if your majesty is not right, we have to advise you, and we have to rely on the clear-minded civil servants who are familiar with the books of sages to manage things!"

"Ancestor, isn't it your Majesty's responsibility to govern the world?" Wei Bin couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, then asked cautiously.

Wynn's mind came to mind that young man who was indecisive when faced with trouble, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised as he said, "Your Majesty, just bow down and rule! The affairs of this world should be governed by virtuous ministers, and the likes of Wan'an should be eliminated!"

"Old Ancestor, I heard that Your Majesty does not agree to increase the number of cabinet ministers. I am afraid that Wan An will continue to be the first minister!" Wei Bin said seriously as he put a piece of orange to Wynn's mouth.

When Wynn ate this piece of sour orange, his whole face twisted and he immediately vomited it out. It's just that the palace maid was distracted and the sour orange fell to the ground.

"My father-in-law, have mercy on me!" The palace maid knew that Huai'en was a cruel person, so she hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy.

The two eunuchs behind him glanced at the expressionless Wynn, but they knew that Wynn wanted to punish the maid who had made an error, so they stepped forward and dragged the maid away.

Wei Bin had been staying in Huai'en for some time, but he knew that this sage, a scholar who kept reading from his mouth, was indeed very friendly to the civil servants holding history pens, but he was cruel to the maids and eunuchs under him.

Wynn asked another palace maid to come over to wait on him, and he immediately said confidently: "You can only see what happens on the stage, but you people will never know what happens under the stage! Wei Bin, wait. Just wait and see, things will change in this court soon!"

At this moment, a dark cloud appeared in the eastern sky, which seemed to be imprinting Wynn's words.

A young eunuch happened to come in from outside and summoned Huaien to go to Qianqing Palace to meet the saint immediately.

"Wei Bin, hurry up, help the Za family to the Qianqing Palace!" Wynn knew that his plan was successful, and immediately stretched out a hand and said excitedly.

Wei Bin put down the orange and hurriedly stepped forward to help him. When he saw His Majesty taking the initiative to summon Wynn for the first time, he vaguely realized that there was indeed something serious about this matter.

In the East Nuan Pavilion of Qianqing Palace, sandalwood curls up.

Zhu Youtang, who was wearing casual clothes, was dealing with government affairs. When he saw the reply letter from the Sixth Ministry and the memorials from some officials in the capital, his immature face was suppressed, and his heart was already burning with anger.

Similar to newlyweds, the king and his ministers also have a honeymoon period.

Good dreams are easy to wake up from, and now that he is about to be a full moon after taking the throne, the shortcomings of both parties are slowly revealed.

Because he did not get rid of the flattery party headed by Wan An as Qingliu imagined, and he also insisted on re-employing Du Ming, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, and Li Yu, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. In addition, he has not resumed the Japanese lectures and Sutra banquets so far. As a result, the monarch and his ministers are now The relationship breaks down.

Guo Yong proposed a draft to fill the harem, but this proposal was immediately strongly opposed by officials headed by Zhou Mohong, the Minister of Rites, who mainly blocked the matter on the grounds that the late emperor had not been buried.

Zhu Youtang took the initiative to establish Enke, but was opposed by officials headed by Xu Pu. The reasons this time were "the Ming Dynasty has had redundant officials for a long time, and it is not appropriate to set up Enke again" and "three years is the best, and three hundred will be used to fill the number." ", "The teachings of the great ancestor Enke are still in front of us, and Enke's troubles are not good for the government", etc., they all wrote to block this proposal.

Zhu Youtang has never been a fool, but now that he sees the opinions of these officials gradually becoming consistent, he knows that these officials have begun to unite to deal with the imperial power.

Although imperial power must be above everything else, the official power of all dynasties cannot be underestimated. Otherwise, there would not have been so many cases of failed reforms from ancient times to the present, and there would not even be good examples of real successful reforms.

"Your Majesty, this is the memorial just sent from Huguang!" Guo Yong led two young eunuchs over and put a pile of memorials on the desk and said respectfully.

Zhu Youtang looked at another thick pile of memorials and couldn't help but sigh secretly.

Everyone in the world envies the emperor, but only when you actually sit in this position will you know that the emperor's work is really endless.

"Your Majesty, why did you summon this old slave?" Wynn walked in from outside, his little eyes secretly spying on Zhu Youtang.

Zhu Youtang looked at this old eunuch with a treacherous face with complicated eyes. He was really the same as those other civil servants. He picked up a book next to him and said: "I found Wange Lao dedicated to the late emperor in the study room. A small basket, do you know about this? Do you remember what is in it? "

"This servant has been away from the late emperor for several years and does not know about Wan'an's gift of a small basket. However, Wan'an does have the habit of presenting books to the late emperor. Did you get this book from the small basket?" Huai En felt secretly happy in his heart, but it was disguised. I don’t know.

Zhu Youtang looked at the cover of the book and read out the title, looking very disdainful: "Secrets of the Capital! I can't bear to mention such an unsightly thing. I don't want to look at it more. I don't think Wan An is not a gentleman!".

Huai'en was about to mention knowingly whether it was Fangzhong Shu, but Zhu Youtang took the lead and said: "Huai'en, the ministers in the court are going to impeach Mr. Wange one after another. You are well aware of the situation in the court, but you don't know how to deal with Wange. What do you think of this old man?"

"Wange Lao is in the favor of the late Emperor, so he can be reused! It's just that his talent is not as good as Liu Ji's, and his reputation is not as good as Xu Pu's, so I think Wange's honesty is not good!" Huaien was suddenly asked this question, and he immediately said that he The view said.

In fact, there is no need for him to be more jealous now. After all, this new king has accepted Confucianism since he was a child, and he is a person who highly advocates the style of a gentleman. Now that Wan'an has been framed by him in this way, Wan'an is destined to be kicked out of the court by this new king.

Zhu Youtang nodded gently, as if making a difficult decision and said: "I am not a eloquent king, but the books Wan'an dedicated to the late emperor are not the work of a gentleman! You will send these memorials to impeach Mr. Wange." Go over and read it to him, and at the same time tell him that I already know about the letter presented to the late emperor, and ask him if he dares to keep it in the court once the matter is made public?"

"My slave obeys the order!" Wynn saw that the matter was completely under his control, so he secretly proudly handed over his hand and accepted the order.

Zhu Youtang looked at Huaien's hurried away figure and thought of the small basket that suddenly appeared, and couldn't help but feel a strong uneasiness in his heart.

The sky was still clear just now, but as a group of dark clouds drifted in from the east, the dark clouds seemed to have poured a basin of water on the splendid Forbidden City, and it instantly lost some of its color.

Wenyuan Pavilion is the only building with black glazed tiles in the entire Forbidden City. Its original function as a library attic has been diluted, and now it has become the central institution of the Ming Dynasty.

An old man wearing a python robe was leaning in front of the case. His face was covered with age spots, his snow-white eyebrows were very long, and his eyes had become cloudy.

Whether you are the high-ranking chief minister of the empire or a poor farmer working in the fields, time is destroying everyone fairly, and no one is forgotten.

Facing the memorials from two capitals and thirteen provinces, Wan'an carefully wrote his opinions on a piece of paper, and then stuck the paper on the memorial. This was the work of drafting the cabinet votes.

"Master, do you want to take a rest first?" A servant reminded him cautiously as he brought tea.

"It's not easy to fool the Holy One. If you want to take a rest, you have to wait until you go home to rest!" Wan An didn't even raise his head and continued to vote and clear the way.

Although he has been jokingly called the idiot old man by the world, this is just a way for his political opponents to attack him.

These people also don't want to think about the fact that they are out-and-out poet ministers. They have been involved in cabinet affairs since the fifth year of Chenghua, and have been the chief assistant for ten years.

He may not be a good player in political struggles, but when it comes to handling the government affairs of the Ming Dynasty, no one among the civil servants in the dynasty can be better than him.

In fact, he knew that the reason why His Majesty did not remove him was because he needed to be in balance with other forces in the court because of his experience and ability in handling local government affairs.

The servant was about to leave, but when he saw Wynn coming in, he greeted him warmly: "Eunuch Huai, why are you here?"

"Your Majesty's command!" Wynn said arrogantly without even looking at Wan'an's servant.

Wan An suddenly became excited, stood up tremblingly, and hurriedly saluted Huai En and said: "Blessings!"

"Holy Holy Gong! Your Majesty knows that you presented a letter to the late Emperor. If this matter is made public, will you dare to stay in the court?" The corners of Wynn's mouth slightly raised, and he directly conveyed the decree.

Wan An couldn't help but frown, and thought to himself: Why don't you dare? At the same time, he nodded slowly and said: "I have presented letters to the late emperor several times. I don't know which time I am referring to?"

"Old Wange, this is naturally the most unbearable time. Do you really want to challenge me?" Wynn knew that this courtier had a lot of dark history, so he asked with a smile.

Wan An couldn't help but feel guilty. After all, the contents of some books should not be made public. Dang Ji took the initiative to admit his mistake and said: "I know I was wrong. Please forgive me!"

Wynn's brows couldn't help but frown slightly, and he realized that this old guy's face was thicker than the city wall, but fortunately, things were already confusing.

Wei Bin followed Huaien over, and immediately took out an impeachment memorial with understanding and read: "The officials and officials all wrote this to Song Cong who was involved in the matter: In order to express gratitude to God, I beg for the Holy Judgment to kill the traitors, crafty and tyrannical officials, and the authoritative thieves in the Qing Dynasty." , to eliminate the troubles caused by greed..."

"I know I was wrong, please forgive me!" Wan An didn't expect that Xu Pu's men would stab him, so he said in fear.

Wynn realized that this man was not planning to resign and leave, so he gritted his teeth and ordered: "Read again!"

Wei Bin took out another memorial and read it: "I would like to report to Zhang Shanji from the Ministry of Military Affairs: I believe that the great scholar Wan An stole power and disrupted the government, causing harm to the country and the people, and this is the first disaster of the new dynasty... …”

"I know I was wrong, please forgive me!" Wan An didn't expect that Liu Ji's people would stab him, so he secretly expressed his position through gritted teeth.

The sky outside is getting darker and darker, and it seems like it will rain at any time.

In the first assistant's room of Wenyuan Pavilion, the sound of reciting memorials could be heard constantly.

The second assistant, Liu Ji, also stayed in his own room to deal with the ticket preparation work, but after hearing that there was no result from the next door, he finally couldn't help but walked out of his own room and squatted in the corner next door.

If everything goes as planned, today will be the day Wan An leaves the court, and the throne of chief minister that he has been waiting for for ten years will be right in front of him.

But, are things really what you want?

"I know I was wrong, please forgive me!" Wan An found that these people's impeachment was becoming less and less innovative, so he still chose to admit his mistake.

Wynn saw that things were gradually getting out of his control. He never expected that these scholars who read sages' books were so thick-skinned, so he squeezed out two words from between his teeth: "Read again."

"No more!" Wei Bin spread his hands and said in a hoarse voice.

Wynn knew that no matter how many impeachment memorials there were, they would be useless, so he stepped forward and asked, "You presented the book of Fangzhongshu to the late emperor. What did this minister do?"

Wan An's expression changed slightly, but he looked at Wynn in shock.

Wynn couldn't stand the old chief assistant who refused to resign anymore. When he saw the tooth tag on his waist, he immediately pulled it off and said, "It's time to get out!"

"Please!" When the two young eunuchs behind him saw that Wan'an's tooth tag had been taken away, they stepped forward and prepared to drive away from Wan'an Road.

Wan An couldn't help but let out a long sigh, glanced at Wynn with complicated eyes, picked up the jade pieces placed on the table and left, leaving the place where he had stayed for more than ten years.

"Ancestor, doesn't it seem bad to do this?" Wei Bin couldn't help but worry when he saw Huaien snatching Wan'an's dental plaque and forcing him to leave.

Huaien watched Zhu Youtang grow up and said very confidently: "Your Majesty's intention is very obvious. What you want is for this old guy to leave. The Za family has now become a villain for your Majesty. It's not too late for your Majesty to be grateful!"

While we were talking, an autumn rain began to fall outside. The rain with the sound of wind sounded like the wail of autumn. This majestic city of Beijing seemed to have had a premonition of the coming blood disaster.

I have been negatively affected by some comments and my mentality has been ruined, so I may not have time to reply to messages from real readers in the future. Please forgive me! But there is good news. Since Lao Wang expired and was removed from the list, "Only Ruling the Ming Dynasty" has been promoted to the second place on the historical new book list. But the bad news is that the first place is Master Sanjie, so "Only Ruling the Ming Dynasty" "Da Ming" is really not destined to be number one on the new book list. Next, the protagonist finally waits for the opportunity to kill someone. I will write this story well and hope that readers who like this book will continue to support it!
