Wanli can't help but be furious, Li Sancai stole the wood of Shougong, undoubtedly breaking ground on his head as a son of heaven.

He has enough money in his life, and the courtiers all rode on his head one by one, pointing their noses and scolding him, and he endured them.

In order to seek quiet, he hid in the palace all the year round, out of sight, out of ear, and not upset.

How do you think, you still cover your ears and steal the bell, pure is pure, but who would have thought that the place behind you will not be stable!

"If it weren't for Tian Ergeng, I would only call him Li Daxianggong in his bones, would he Li Daxianggong be worthy of me!" Wanli threw the pen holder in anger, he felt that he had been deceived, tricked, and looked at as a fool.

Because not long ago, he had just relented and allowed Li San to enter the cabinet. This is to rely on the other party as an important minister, but the important minister treats him like this, in vain, no matter how used he is to swallowing his anger, he can't swallow this breath.

"Spread my will, I want Dongchang, I want Jinyiwei, immediately, immediately go to Tongzhou, and arrest him Li Sancai! Prison, prison! …”

Wanli jumped like thunder, so frightened that Zheng Guifei's face turned white.

The husband and wife have been fighting for the country for many years, and they have never seen their husbands so emotional.

"Your Majesty is angry!"

The concubine was afraid that her husband would be angry, so she hurriedly stepped forward to appease her. I was also surprised in my heart, then Li Sancai was an important minister, how could he dare to steal the wood of the imperial tomb.

Zhang Cheng also persuaded him, and when he got the Nanzhen poster handed over by the clerical office, he knew that things were going to be bad. Of course, the emperor will be furious, and the Donglin Party will also have a big disaster, and he will also be in big trouble.

Li Sancai entered the cabinet, and all parties in the foreign dynasty fought for more than half a year, until Gonggong Sun was appointed as the palm of the seal, which relieved the emperor. Seeing that the dust has settled, Nanzhen Tian Ergeng has such a post, if the matter is true, with the emperor's importance to the Shou Palace, Li Sancai's road to the cabinet will definitely be blocked, and there will even be imprisonment.

Therefore, Zhang Cheng also had a fierce struggle in his heart about whether to truthfully hand over this disclosure to the emperor. He believes that if it is Gonggong Sun who is on duty today, this revelation will definitely not reach the hands of the emperor. If it is Jin Gonggong, then it is the opposite.

It is not a secret in the palace that Sun Gonggong has a relationship with the Donglin Party, and Jin Gonggong has a relationship with the Five Parties. And he, Zhang Cheng, has nothing to do with either party, so his decision is very important. Whatever he decides, he will be dragged into the muddy waters of bipartisan rivalry.

handed over, Donglin regarded him Zhang Cheng as evil.

If he doesn't pay it, the five parties will also regard him as a traitor.

Dilemma, in the end, Zhang Cheng gritted his teeth and made a decision, this exposé fell into his hands, and today he is on duty, no matter how heavy this exposé is, as the emperor's slave, loyalty is the most important.

He chose to submit.

As for what the consequences are, he doesn't care, and there is nothing to be afraid of.

To gain a foothold in this palace, the emperor's trust is the key.

"Can I swallow this breath?! He Li Daxiang deceived people too much! Do you think he won't even let me die? The more Wanli thought about it, the more unwilling he became, and he was so angry that he sneered.

"Prime Minister Li is a good man! … He asked me to stop the mining tax, and even went on three times, saying that since the mining tax is prosperous, the people are unemployed, and the looting instructions are as dense as a cow's hair, and a certain mine will get a certain amount of silver today, and a certain official will add a certain amount of silver tomorrow, and the upper and lower levels are competing for profit. I feel embarrassed to say it, it's really competing with the people for profit and harming the people. Therefore, I don't care about him, even if he says that the root is in me, it is because I am greedy for money, as long as I get rid of this greed, the world will be fine. ”

Wanli's voice sounded very sad, and he was said by the courtiers to be greedy and compete with the people for profit, can he feel good in his heart.

The concubine stroked her husband's back and said with relief: "That's the emperor's magnanimity, the Holy Lord Mingjun, and his broad-mindedness. ”

"I'm not broad-minded!"

Wanli's forehead was bruised, and he clenched his fists, "It's not that I don't care about him, but I can't cure them!" … I didn't answer him, and he went up again, and this time he intensified, saying that if I didn't listen to him, the society would be ruined. I will betray my relatives, and my people will become my enemies, and even if I have a chest full of gold and a house full of pearls, no one will defend me. ”

"Alarmist, thief of fame, what does Your Majesty have to say to him." Concubine Zheng sneered.

"I will not speak to him, but he will speak to me... Again and again, again and again, he Li San will not give up until he reaches his goal. Wanli turned to look at Zhang Cheng hatefully, "You tell the concubine, what is written on Chen Shu for Li Sancai's third suspension of mining tax!" ”

"The Emperor... Slave..."Zhang Cheng hesitated, not knowing whether to say or not to say.

Wan Li pointed at him angrily and scolded: "You old slave, I will let you say it!" … Tell the concubine to listen, so that the concubine can recognize this person's face. ”

Zhang Cheng was frightened and hurriedly said: "Li Sancai said in the third sparse that the emperor must listen to them, otherwise, he is not worthy of being the emperor." ”

"Yes, how do you say that, oh, yes, the lord of the people and the king!" Wanli laughed, and his smile was very cold, "He, Prime Minister Li, is a threat to me!" ”

"There are many henchmen in this generation, waving flags and shouting, Your Majesty has to be on guard." The concubine didn't want to be in politics, but thinking of being scolded by those people in Donglin over the years, she couldn't help but interject.

After speaking, he thought for a while, and said: "Your Majesty, the concubine heard that this Li San has the ability, and those who can help the world may not be able to do it alone." Capable can also be greedy, and upright will also mix. The voice fell, and he looked at Zhang Cheng, "Does Grandpa Zhang think what Bengong said is right?" ”

"This..."

Zhang Cheng groaned slightly, and the concubine asked him for no reason, he couldn't bear the scheming of the mother.

When he looked up and saw that the emperor was also staring at him, he couldn't help but stubbornly say: "The slave thinks that this Li Sancai is good at science, others do more and say less, but he has to say it if he doesn't do it, and he has to say it big, and he should say it big, just this point, he shouldn't be an important minister." ”

"Yes!"

Zhang Cheng's words made Wanli feel the same way, "This kind of person is treacherous and loyal, and deceitful is like straight... The Donglin Party is such a group of people, isn't that Gu Xiancheng also like this. Don't think that I don't know anything when I stay in the palace all day, I know it! … That Gu Xiancheng lectured, the servants were like clouds, and the county order pavilion was for 100 million, and it was not 200 gold.

Hmph, is he lecturing, or is he pompous, putting on a prestige, and making people call him a respected sect...... A session of cloth clothes, stomping the feet of the court will shake it, I tolerate them, but they will not allow me! ”

Concubine Zheng Guifei seemed to have just remembered it, and said: "Your Majesty, I remember what you said, Guotai also said to his concubines when he came back from Jiangnan that Gu Xiancheng often satirized the government and judged the characters when he was not a good person. … By the way, Cathay also said something, and the concubine was angry when she heard it. ”

"What's the matter?"

"Cathay said that Gu Xiancheng and Li Sancai are good friends, Li Sancai often feasts on Xiancheng, stops vegetables in three or four colors, goes to the mountain, Shanghai flavor, monkey brain, bear's paw, and squanders a big strategy."

"There's a rough idea..."

Wanli's body moved slightly, and then a fine light shot on Zhang Cheng's face, and he spit out coldly: "Take him to prison, I want to see where he is." ”

Zhang Cheng didn't dare to obey the order, so he knelt down and said, "Emperor, don't do it!" ”

"Why not?"

Wanli is not angry, and the concubine is also displeased.

"Emperor, Li Sancai is an important minister, and he is the leader of Donglin, if he moves the factory guard, he is only afraid of turmoil in the foreign dynasty. In addition, Li Sancai's theft of the imperial tomb wood was reported by Tian Ergeng in Nanzhen, and whether it was true still needs to be investigated. If it is true, you will be held accountable. If it is not true, it will inevitably fall into the hands of others. Zhang Cheng did not dare to make too much of a fuss, so he suggested that the emperor appoint the Imperial Court to investigate the matter.

Wanli knew what Zhang Cheng meant by the shock of the outer dynasty, he came to his senses and knew that it was not possible to directly take Li Sancai to prison, if it was not done well, the outer dynasty would probably be paralyzed.

Somewhat depressed sat down, his anger calmed down little by little, and finally waved his hand and ordered Zhang Cheng: "You go to the cabinet and tell the Fuqing minister, what I mean, check him Li Sancai." Please give me an explanation, otherwise, I will have to check it myself. ”

"The old slave obeys!"

Zhang Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, this is the best.

When Zhang Cheng went to the cabinet to preach the message, the concubine was a little puzzled and said to her husband: "Fuqing Xianggong and Li Sancai are one party, ask him to send someone to investigate, what results can be." ”

"I know." Wanli smiled bitterly.

The concubine was puzzled: "Your Majesty knows, why is it still arranged?" ”

"I want him Li San to retreat."

Wanli shook his head, in fact, he didn't mind the results of the investigation at all.

Because, he already has the result, it's just that he needs an excuse to do it.
