Shen's consistent idea was to use as polite a tone as possible to make the emperor feel his sincerity, so as not to be greatly annoyed by this and lower his impression score, after all, if he wanted to become the first assistant, he had to be appointed by the emperor.

If you make the emperor unhappy, the emperor will be able to make you not to be the first assistant and disgust you.

Shen has always been reluctant.

But there are also countless supporters under him who hope that he will be tough on the emperor head-on, they are the basic team of his governance after he became the first assistant, and they can ensure that Shen's consistent decrees are successful, and will not fall to the point of Zhao Zhigao.

The cabinet assistant is such an extremely embarrassing existence.

I want to please both sides, but I can't.

Zhao Zhigao doesn't care, he himself is pulled out to make up the numbers, because there are no people below to support him, there is no mature ruling team, Zhao Zhigao's cabinet is an empty shelf, which makes him have no extra ties, and he can directly fall to the emperor and help the emperor withstand the shells of many courtiers.

Although it can't be done, a qualified gas bag saved Zhu Yijun from being bombarded by more tragic spiritual pollution, which is Zhao Zhigao's greatest contribution.

However, this is an insult to Shen Yi, he has ambitions and goals, and he can't allow himself to fall into such a situation, but he has to use the emperor's Chrysostom to get the position of the first assistant of the cabinet, and maintain a certain relationship with the emperor.

It is difficult to be a person, it is even more difficult to be an official, and it is even more difficult to be an official of the cabinet......

At this moment, Shen has always had such feelings.

Not to mention that there is an emperor who is sharpening his sword Huo Huo to the ministers, and there is also a military general who is sharpening his sword Huo Huo to the ministers, at this moment, it is a real eventful autumn, but at this time, the emperor still thinks that the matter is not big enough, and he wants to make things bigger and make the water more confused, Shen has always roughly guessed what the emperor thinks, but he has to take the call, and he has to follow the emperor's train of thought.

Eventful, eventful!

Shen Cheng even looked at the big Buddha surnamed Zhao who was pretending to be asleep with envy.

He......

Is it really sleeping or fake sleeping? Is it comfortable?

Shen has always taken the lead, and this watch was quickly delivered to Zhu Yijun's hands, Zhu Yijun flipped it slightly, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a smug smile.

"This old guy, thinking about the left and right, doesn't dare to offend me, for fear that I won't give him the title of the head of the cabinet, but I don't dare to offend the ministers, for fear that he will not be able to govern smoothly in the future, and the foundation is unstable, and now he is in a dilemma, ridiculous, ridiculous!"

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

"Isn't that what the master wants? Let the cabinet and ministers get into chaos so that General Xiao and them can build momentum. ”

Zhu Yijun took a deep breath and slowly exhaled.

"Yes, build momentum, if you don't build momentum, you can't do it, such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, if you don't take this opportunity to make a big deal and make the whole city know about it, maybe when you will let those bastards be pushed down, 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 the old slave doesn't know whether to say or not. ”

Zhu Yijun squinted at Zhang Cheng.

"Say it."

"Yes."

Zhang Cheng said softly: "For this big event, it's nothing for the master to reward General Xiao, but this is really too thick, the title of Duke of Qin, according to the rules of the Ming Dynasty, should indeed not be awarded to courtiers with foreign surnames, in this way, if the big thing is done, isn't General Xiao's situation very embarrassing?" How can you deal with yourself after that? ”

"Even if you think like that, you can imagine how worried the old guys outside are."

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

"Does the master really plan to give General Xiao this title?"

Zhu Yijun nodded: "If you can make Xiao Qing more loyal to me, the title is not in my eyes, if he doesn't have it, he will be named his parents, his brother, his wife, and his son, there is always a way to be rewarded, so there is no reward in the world, but the suspicion is indelible, find a reason, there is no need." ”

"Master...... What 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 is happening in the places where I can't see, and let me know how much of this tomorrow still belongs to me, and how much has been returned to others.

I named Xiao Qing as the Duke of Qin, and the Duke of Qin is just a celebrity, but what those rats want is my real foundation, what they are hollowing out is what really matters to the Ming Dynasty, compared to those things, what is a Duke of Qin? ”

Zhang Cheng hurriedly bowed: "Your Majesty is far-sighted, the old slave admires!" ”

"Don't talk about this, this time, Xiao Qing gave me a big surprise, such a good opportunity, if I don't grasp it, it would be a pity, sealing Xiao Qing as the Duke of Qin is to make Wenchen frightened, so, Zhang Cheng, this performance is for me to call back, no, it must be the Duke of Qin! Let Shen always weigh it up and do it himself! ”

Zhang Cheng immediately said: "The old slave obeys the order!" ”

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

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

No, it's not so much firmness as stubbornness, the kind of stubbornness that is stubborn to the extreme.

Shen has always been clear that he can confront the ministers from the fifteenth year of Wanli to the twenty-sixth year of Wanli, and the emperor will not change his will for ten years, whether it is the establishment of a prince, a war, or the money for mining taxes, the emperor always has his own ideas, and he does not compromise with the ministers.

This situation itself reflects what a stubborn person their Wanli Majesty is, and Shen has always been unsure that he can handle things that several first assistants can't handle, but at this time, the emperor's stubbornness is committed, and it is a very fatal thing for Shen Zheng.

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