Recently, Wang Xijue has been very troubled. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Since returning to the imperial court fifteen days ago, he has never been relieved, and returning to the imperial court as the chief assistant of the cabinet is the highest honor of the Ming civil official, but at this moment, this honor does not make Wang Xijue feel very happy, on the contrary, Wang Xijue only feels a strong worry, this strong worry has become more and more intense with the passage of time, almost disturbing him all night and night.

is obviously the first assistant of the cabinet, but he has such a strong worry, no matter how you look at it, it is not normal.

That's right, the first assistant of the cabinet at this moment, the Ming Dynasty at this moment is extremely abnormal inside and outside.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Wang Xijue retreated when the battle for the country was at its most intense, using his mother's illness as a cover, and then delayed returning to the court, to put it bluntly, this old guy is reluctant to give up his official position, knowing that the emperor will never compromise easily, at that time, taking the lead in the charge will only make him resign and return to his hometown and never use it, but his reputation is there, but the power is gone, and the real interests of the animals will not bird him.

As a political animal, Wang Xijue has long had the determination to give up part of his reputation to seize power, and this determination has become more and more decisive over time, when he watched the reality of Shen Shixing and Xu Guo, these bigwigs continue to lose their official positions because of various problems, he understands more that the Wanli Emperor is now regarded this national capital dispute as the great gift of Emperor Jiajing, and he will not give up.

Emperor Jiajing's wrist and IQ can be regarded as the best choice in the Ming Emperor, so he has played with the courtiers in the palm of his hand for decades, but in the later period, his wrist has been seen through, and the ministers have also been upgraded, and the Wanli Emperor has also seen this clearly, so he is not as harsh as his grandfather treats the ministers, but to make him compromise, it is obviously impossible.

He doesn't have the wrist and guts of his grandfather, but he has enough patience and time, he's only thirty years old, what's the hurry? What he has is time, some energy and ministers to consume, it is not he Zhu Yijun who can't afford it, but the rest of the ministers in their seventies and eighties, of course, the ministers are not without advantages, there are many people who go forward and succeed, it is their advantage, and the cabinet elders have played an exemplary role, one fell and one rushed up, leading the ministers to attack repeatedly, almost forcing the palace.

However, people are different, and political animals are also very different, there are politicians in the top civil officials of the Ming Dynasty, and there are also politicians, politicians know how to solve problems, and politicians only know how to create problems and profit from them, Wang Xijue is not a politician, but he is not a qualified politician, qualified politicians dare to face ups and downs, and although Wang Xijue has the heart to solve problems, he does not have the courage to face the wind and rain.

In response to the old saying - people in the rivers and lakes, the more mixed the old, the more courageous, the smaller the more mixed, Wang Xijue is obviously a representative figure, the courage is the more mixed and smaller, coming, seeing the fate of the previous elders, he decided not to face the emperor head-on, the little shrimp emperor is embarrassed to start, but he is a big fish, the emperor is not ambiguous.

However, this violates a politically correct problem, there is a common red line between the ministers and the emperor, that is, the position of the struggle for the country, this is a life-and-death political struggle, it is a game of power and prestige between the emperor and the ministers, in the political struggle of life and death, a big man like Wang Xijue has no chance at both ends of the snake and mouse, he must stand in line, he must stand in line, he must stand in line, otherwise he will be attacked by both sides.

Therefore, the choice is very clear, he can't be tough with the emperor, he can't be a snake and a mouse, the two conditions are combined, he can only choose to compromise with the emperor, otherwise what else can he do? He must choose to stand in line, although he has a reputation for choosing to stand with his ministers, but the end is to become a scapegoat for his ministers, and if he chooses to stand with the emperor, he can at least keep his position, and then try his best to reconcile the contradictions between the emperor and the ministers.

So Wang Xijue was very troubled, very depressed, after he returned to Beijing to take up his post, basically every day a large number of civil officials came to visit him, asked him about his views on state affairs, asked him how to deal with the current situation, some simply encouraged him to immediately write to the emperor to ask for the establishment of the crown prince, these guys one after another, the central meaning is to ask him to immediately carry the banner of the struggle for the country, and the emperor to contend with each other.

They said that Zhao Zhigao's old guy was a vegetarian meal and didn't do anything, if it wasn't for the war, they really wanted to drive Zhao Zhigao away, and now they heard that the war was about to end, and the emperor had no reason to continue to delay time, so considering everyone's struggle, they looked forward to Wang Xijue standing up and presiding over the overall situation and being the head of everyone.

One after another, without stopping, it blew Wang Xijue's head into a mess like a serial bomb.

As an old fritter in the officialdom, Wang Xijue also gradually noticed the problem of the current situation in the imperial court, the key point is the end of the Korean campaign, I heard that the Korean battle is very good, and when the Korean battle is really over, the national capital battle that has been suppressed for a while will inevitably be reopened, and the momentum will be more fierce, this time, it is estimated that it will really be a winner, whether the emperor wins, or the ministers win, everything will be clear.

Wang Xijue, who was unwilling to become a big cannon fodder, also took steps to save himself, he came up with a brilliant trick, on the night when Xiao Ruxun's battle report arrived in the capital, Wang Xijue came up with this excellent idea, he decided to find an opportunity to play the emperor secretly the next day, surrender to the emperor, and express his sincerity.

Wang Xijue knew very well that this was his only chance, so he even refused Li Chengliang's request to see, and wrote this letter attentively, and the next afternoon, Wang Xijue quietly came to the imperial city alone, and asked people to help him convey the meaning of the request to the emperor.

Zhu Yijun was still immersed in the huge results of the Korean battle and did not get rid of it, but when he heard Wang Xijue ask to see him, he instinctively felt disgusted, the only difference between these old ministers and the officials below was that their words were more gentle, and the officials were more intense, but the core was the same, the same hateful.

"Nope!"

Zhu Yijun is on the rise, he doesn't want to let things about the dispute over the country disturb his interest, in his opinion, the only reason for Wang Xijue to see him is the dispute over the country, he just returned to the dynasty, the way to stand firm is to stand in line, obviously, Wang Xijue has already chosen the queue, and now he is here to show his attitude, and he Zhu Yijun has not been happy for so many years, and now he has to be happy and happy, so he is gone.

In order to express his desire to reconcile to the courtiers before, he made an exception to announce the minister, but these ministers not only did not know the proportion, but also had to inch in, which made Zhu Yijun very annoyed, and he was angry and did not announce the minister for a long time, and the minister asked to see him.

It seems that this is another Shen Shixing and another Xu Guo!
