"The matter with the eunuch party, it's almost time to break the game, right?" Ye Xianggao had no choice but to take Wang Wenyan, so he simply changed the topic. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

"Difficult." Wang Wenyan's face also showed hesitation on his face, and he frowned and said: "Wei Gelding seems to have no bottom in his heart, and the matter of going to the old mansion of Han Ge to seek peace confirms this, but everything still falls on the emperor, and what matters is to see what the emperor thinks." ”

Ye Xianggao nodded lightly, recently, because of political disputes, many things in the imperial court have to be suspended, only the matter of Liaodong is related to the military affairs and has not been delayed, and most of the other military and political affairs have been stagnant, which is also the reason why he disagrees with Wang Wenyan's design and Yusheng...... How many militaristic events have been piled up in the imperial court, everyone's main energy is spent on the party struggle, this time everyone is in the ring, it must be to fight for a life and death, if the Donglin Party fails, I don't know how many people will not be able to keep the crown and fame, and I don't know how many important people in the court have disappeared from the officialdom, so when life and death are at stake, what do you do with a business whose foundation has been moved to the grassland?

"The old man has no way to figure out the thoughts of the saints." Ye Xianggao shook his head and said, "I can only wait for the Holy Judgment." ”

"You can't wait." Wang Wenyan's face showed anger, and he said: "Do you still remember the old things during the Jiajing period?" ”

"Do you mean the Great Rites Controversy?" Ye Xianggao said unhappily: "Back then, Wenchen was a fiasco. ”

"That's Jiajingye." Wang Wenyan said: "Forgive me for daring to say that I am not going to die, there is no way to compare with Emperor Jiajing back then, the difference is too far." ”

This is also true, Jiajing's temperament is really born yin owl and decisive, and a little "barbaric", twisted up and desperate, and good at grasping people's hearts, in terms of great etiquette, hundreds of civil officials, including the first assistant Yang Tinghe, have no way to take a fifteen-year-old boy Tianzi, because Jiajing knows very well that the eunuch is on his side, and the military power is also in his hands, although Wenchen controls everything, as long as he can't enter the Forbidden City, no matter how powerful he is outside, it will be in vain.

In the great ceremonial dispute, tens of thousands of civil officials in the imperial court joined together, and hundreds of civil officials knocked to death, but Jiajing dared to fight hundreds of people together, killing more than a dozen civil officials at most at a time, and a large number of officials, including Yang Tinghe's son Yang Shen, were exiled by the emperor and spent their lives forever.

Since then, the monarch and the minister have been separated, and Jiajing has not established mutual trust between the monarch and the minister in his life, in fact, with Jiajing's wisdom and ability, he has lived in the deep palace all the year round, reading Qingzi and cultivating the Tao, and the state affairs are also a pity because of the declining rivers.

Jiajing's smartness, rigidity, self-confidence, and gloom have left a deep impression on people, and when today's son is a few years older than Emperor Jiajing at the time of the Great Rite Discussion, but from the impression given in recent years, when today's son is more and more sophisticated in dealing with national affairs, but his nature is open-minded and benevolent, and everything has a little big thing to turn into a small thing, and a small thing to turn into no open-minded energy, if it is not for the civil ministers and officials, the emperor is rarely angry, and the emperor of the Apocalypse is also much kinder than his grandfather. For example, the trust and reliance on Sun Chengzong, the generosity and trust in Dongjiang Town's domestic support, and the support for Yuan Keli, etc.

In the past few years, the emperor is well aware of the principle of grasping the big and letting go of the small, and attaches great importance to the affairs of Liaodong, many measures are very accurate and in place, and the rest of the various things are big and generalized, on the whole, the government has not improved much, and the burden of the people has become very heavy after the second year of the Apocalypse, and the expenditure of Liaodong has become larger and larger, which has formed a huge interest transmission group in western Liaoxi...... But overall, Jin Shang is still a qualified emperor.

As for the appointment of eunuchs, later generations often criticize the Apocalypse with this matter, this is really a pure misunderstanding, the ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty is precisely in addition to the Emperor Gao of Taizu during the Hongwu period, any dynasty is to use the eunuchs to extend the monarchy against the foreign dynasties, in order to restrict the balance, the appointment of Wei Zhongxian by the Apocalypse is not any mistake, the mistake is that since Jiajing, the Ming Dynasty civil officials have prevailed in the party, and the civil officials themselves are divided into the party and fight more than once, and the loser disregards the previous rules and throws himself into the eunuchs, and the party struggle expands and heats up, resulting in the delay of military affairs. It has seriously affected the national strength of the Ming Dynasty, which is a matter on another level, and it is impossible to call Wei Zhongxian to carry the black pot alone.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse is far less than Jiajing's control over the government, during the Jiajing period, Yan Songneng was the dominant family and firmly controlled the power, mainly because of Jiajing's support in the inner court, and although the current emperor supports Wei Eunuch, Wei Zhongxian's party has always been pressed to death by Donglin, and the emperor originally had incense feelings for the Donglin Party, which led to the rapid expansion of the Donglin Party four years before the Apocalypse. has been shouting and shouting and killing, Donglin controls the public opinion of the court and the people, and the eunuch party is indeed not right, and has been smeared by Donglin in the past two years, and even with the Son of Heaven has been criticized by the people, but fortunately, when today's son is generous, the strength of the factory guard is far less than the beginning, otherwise it will be based on the behavior of the gentlemen of Donglin to smear the Son of Heaven, and it will be left in Hongwu, Yongnian, I don't know how many people have lost their heads.

In any case, the current emperor's control over the court is still insufficient, not only far less than the founding Emperor Taizu Gao and Emperor Taizongwen, but also far less than the Jiajing period, but it is in the same vein as his grandfather, and there is a mess inside and outside the court, and the government is extremely chaotic.

"I see what you mean." Ye Xianggao groaned: "But if it's not a critical moment, don't make too decisive and eager moves." ”

Wang Wenyan obviously wanted to learn from Jiajing and Wanli in the early years, instigating the monarchs and ministers to go around the palace gate to knock on the palace gate to make trouble, and the emperor would either learn from Jiajing and overthrow hundreds of civil officials in one battle, or he would have to bow his head and submit to the will of the ministers.

"After all, it's a risk." Ye Xianggao sighed: "The holy will is becoming more and more unpredictable, not as good as it was at the beginning. Recently, even the old man has rarely been summoned to the Wenhua Hall to play correctly. ”

Apocalypse's attitude is indeed becoming more and more ambiguous, although there has been a warning to the imperial history not to fight for state affairs with the party, and even dealt with a few imperial histories who do not know whether to advance or retreat, but generally speaking, the apocalypse still has some affection for the Donglin Party, after all, the Donglin Party did make great contributions when it seized the door and moved the palace, but this little incense became more and more faint, and the emperor's mind was unpredictable, even if it was as high as Ye Xianggao, he was also uneasy.

"I still have a back hand in the bottom." Wang Wenyan didn't care, he said: "You don't have to worry about temporary gains and losses, please rest assured." ”

……

At dusk, Wang Wenyan and Ye Xianggao wrote out all the abridgements that were in charge of the first assistant in the cabinet, and then took them away by the celebrant supervisors, and the rest of the cabinet elders, including Han Yi and Zhu Guozhen, Gu Bingqian and others, although there was a government affairs allocation, but the power to paste yellow with a pivotal pen was only in the hands of Ye Xianggao.

In addition to the staff on duty, the cabinet people have to leave before the palace money and food, Wang Wenyan is the most eye-catching one in addition to a few cabinet elders, everyone knows that he is one of the masterminds of the Donglin Party, many things can be decided in a word, and even the power is above many Donglin Party bosses, when Wang Wenyan went out, many officials of the six departments and the temples on the Tianjie were on foot, followed by the attaché with a bag, everyone saw Wang Wenyan walking in the direction of the left gate of Chang'an, not to be surprised, some people hurriedly came up and bowed their hands, Wang Wenyan's face was faint, and he didn't pay much attention to it, and people always knew that he was arrogant, so they all retreated after giving it up.

Outside the imperial city, his own family brought a sedan chair carried by four people, which was originally a treatment only for high-ranking officials above the four-rank Jingtang, but Wang Wenyan used it calmly, of course, no one would dare to come out to pick him this gift.

Stamping his feet in the sedan chair, Wang Wenyan said: "Go to the palace." ”

The palace of the king of the letter is within the scope of the original ten princes' palace, sent people to clean and repair by the palace, and built a large building complex for the princes in the Yongle years, which was originally the residence of the prince of the prince of the country where the king of Beijing has not yet been feuded, and it is also convenient for the kings to regularly enter the Beijing pilgrimage, after arriving at Yingzong, except for the king of Xiang who had entered the Beijing pilgrimage, the rest of the kings no longer entered Beijing, until the apocalypse, there was no pro-vassal into Beijing for more than 200 years, and a royal palace area of Nuoda was deserted, only young princes such as King Xin, The age has reached the point where he can't live in the palace, and because of various reasons, he can't go to the country, so he can only temporarily live in the temporary palace of the capital and live on it.

Wang Wenyan's entourage was very alert, and it was a great taboo for them to see their relatives as foreign ministers, and their masters could not care about the details, but the attachés were extremely careful, and went around in a large circle in the market, until after dark, the sedan chair landed at the door of the Xinwang Mansion, and was reported from the side door.

"Mr. Wang is really a distinguished guest." Cao Huachun, the eunuch of the palace, hurried out to greet him, and greeted Wang Wenyan with his crossed hands.

"Don't dare." Wang Wenyan, who was walking sideways in the cabinet, was very polite to the people in the palace, and after returning the salute for a long time, he said calmly: "The foreign minister came in a hurry, I don't know if His Royal Highness is free to receive him?" ”

"I don't know, what is the important matter of Mr. Wang's here?" In order to avoid suspicion, King Xin did not decide to meet him at the first time, and Cao Huachun came out, of course, to inquire about Wang Wenyan's intentions.

"It's because of the matter with Yusheng...... Wang Wenyan explained a few words briefly, he believed that Cao Huachun would understand what he meant.

"I see." Cao Huachun immediately said: "Please Mr. go inside and wait for a while, and our family will go back to His Royal Highness the King of the Letter to know." ”

Wang Wenyan smiled and nodded in response.

King Xin is too young and naïve.

It is already a well-known fact that King Shin sympathizes with and leans towards Donglin because he often shows some obvious tendencies in front of people. And the bad feeling for He Yusheng is also something that many people know.

Although he didn't know what the cause of the incident was, Wang Wenyan knew that the attitude of King Xin was enough.
