The Ming Dynasty's Spokesperson

The emperor himself was so entangled. When the Shougong incident evolved into a political struggle, the ministers involved became even more troubled. Chief Minister Shen Shixing was the most troubled.

The person selected from Dayushan two years ago was Xu Xuemo, the former Minister of Rites, and Xu Xuemo was the in-laws of Shen Shoufu.

And now Shen Shoufen's biggest political opponents, namely the anti-Zhang Juzheng demon group and the three popular figures of the day, Li Zhi, Jiang Dongzhi, and Yang Keli, have been desperately trying to slander Dayushan and want to take the opportunity to force Shen Shoufeng to step down. .

Shen Shoufu, who followed Emperor Wanli to Tianshou Mountain, was troubled in his heart, but remained calm on the outside and read the memorials from all sides conscientiously.

When I was looking through the memorials today, I saw a chapter by Li Rusong, the prince of Ningyuan Bo and the governor of the patrol, and the theme was also about the longevity palace.

There was no big fluctuation in Shen Shoufu's heart, and the content of Li Rusong's memorial seemed ordinary.

They just use different tricks to say that Dayushan is good, and stand in line to express their support for the Dayushan plan.

In Shen Shoufu's eyes, Li Rusong's memorial seemed more like a deliberate effort to gain a sense of presence.

Fortunately, it also supported the Dayushan plan, which had some use value, so Shen Shixing collected this memorial.

Another thing that confused Shen Shoufu was that Li Rusong's memorial mentioned the name "Lin Tailai, a martial arts examiner from Wu County, Suzhou Prefecture, South Zhili".

Of course Shen Shoufu, who had a great memory, had an impression that Lin Tailai was the most mentioned name in his second son's family letters.

Even Shen Shoufu couldn't figure out why this man named Lin Tailai was with Li Rusong again?

Before Shen Shoufu could figure it out, a eunuch ran past to deliver the message. The emperor summoned the ministers to discuss the plan.

Shen Shixing took a deep breath. This was another close encounter with a political opponent.

The current Emperor Wanli is still a twenty-four-year-old young man, and is at a stage where he can still pretend to be diligent.

After all, the emperor also wanted to save face and show the world that he was no worse than Zhang Juzheng.

According to the course of history, Emperor Wanli could probably pretend for two or three years, and then gradually slacked off, evolving into the image of the money-grubbing, lazy otaku most familiar to later generations.

All the retinue ministers came to the Tianshou Mountain Palace to meet the emperor. Emperor Wanli said to the ministers: "I have a hard time deciding the location of the longevity palace. You will discuss it."

Several ministers went through the process one after another and said: "Dayu Mountain is beautiful and beautiful. It is the best choice for Feng Shui. The survey was completed two years ago.

Now that preparations have begun, His Majesty does not need to make any changes. He can just issue an edict immediately.

If the address of the longevity palace is changed repeatedly, it will inevitably waste people and money, and hinder His Majesty's intention to love the people. "

They don't necessarily support Shen Shoufu very much. The main reason is that everyone doesn't want to make trouble, so they prefer not to change it and still build the Longevity Palace in Dayu Mountain.

At this time, Li Zhi, the young minister of Taipu Temple, jumped out and accused the ministers who had just expressed their stance:

"The emperor has personally read the Feng Shui of the Longevity Palace and has his own opinions. You don't know Feng Shui at all, so how can you come here to advise me?

Without waiting for the emperor's decision, what do you mean by forcing me like this? "

Among the three famous people in the dynasty, Li Zhi was the leader, and Li Zhi was also the representative who spoke out most of the time.

The so-called Three Reds were originally lower-ranking petty officials, but they were the first to liquidate Zhang Juzheng and Feng Bao, so they were favored by Emperor Wanli and were directly promoted several levels.

They are now the vanguard of the opposition to Shen Shixing. They have always regarded Shen Shixing as "a remnant of Zhang Juzheng" and intended to get rid of Shen Shixing and replace him with one of their own in the cabinet.

At this moment, Shen Shixing saw Li Zhi jumping out and said:

"The matter of choosing the location of the Shougong Palace had nothing to do with you, Li Zhisu. When we originally booked Dayu Mountain, you, Li Zhi, didn't say a word.

Now two years have passed and Jidian is flourishing, but you, Li Zhi, have started to slander the Feng Shui of Dayushan Mountain wantonly. This is really a rampant and false accusation. "

Listening to the ministers attacking each other, Emperor Wanli felt his head hurt.

Mainly because Emperor Wanli couldn't tell which side had more professional Feng Shui techniques and more correct views.

Moreover, Feng Shui is a metaphysics, there is no standard answer, and it cannot be verified on the spot.

After arguing for a while, Li Zhi suddenly gave up his direct argument with Shen Shoufu, turned to Emperor Wanli, and said:

"Your Majesty! The reason why Dayu Mountain was chosen to build the Longevity Palace was because of the close relationship between Shen Shixing and Xu Xuemo, so Shen Shixing agreed with Xu Xuemo's wrong plan.

But now, Shen Shixing is already riding a tiger, so he can only persevere to the end! "

Hearing this, Emperor Wanli, who was wavering between left and right, became a little suspicious.

Shen Shixing was speechless. The address of the longevity palace was approved by the emperor himself two years ago. What is he doubting now?

By chance, he touched the memorial in his sleeve, and Shen Shoufu forcibly changed the subject and said:

“Your Majesty clearly understands that Dayu Mountain is not just a private opinion of one of you, it is already widely supported!

Today, Li Rusong, the crown prince of Ningyuan Bo and the governor of Qianshi, came to explain the affairs of the longevity palace. "

Shen Shoufu's move was to divert misfortune to the east, asking the emperor to think about others instead of himself.

Emperor Wanli listened for a long time just now, but he really didn't hear anything new. A group of ministers just repeated the same old tune.

So the emperor was also thinking of changing his taste, so he ordered the eunuch beside him: "Read it!"

The eunuch then read the contents of Li Rusong's memorial according to the script.

"My minister Li Rusong and Lin Tailai, a martial arts examiner from Wu County, Suzhou Prefecture, Nanzhili, happened to hear someone discuss it."

The retinue of cabinet ministers, ministers, ministers, temple ministers, geishizhong, and censors were indifferent, and it was regarded as an intermission.

Most of everyone's thoughts are wondering, now that the opportunity is in front of them, how can they be the one to "persuade" the emperor?

If you can convince the emperor, it will be equivalent to solving a big problem that troubles the emperor. It is equivalent to meritorious service and will definitely be rewarded by the emperor.

And at the same time, it can also attack the political opponents on the opposite side, which is simply killing multiple birds with one stone.

As for the memorial that the eunuch was reading, most people had similar feelings to Shen Shoufu, they just felt that it was mediocre and nothing outstanding.

But before I finished reading the memorial, there was a sudden "bang" from the dragon throne!

The ministers took the risk of looking up at the emperor and took a sneak peek above, only to find that the emperor was slamming the armrest.

Just as the ministers were wondering whether this gaffe was anger or excitement, they heard the emperor say again:

"Okay! Okay! Okay! I didn't expect Li Rusong to be so knowledgeable!"

All the ministers were stunned. This was the first time in several days that the emperor had clearly expressed his appreciation for someone.

They served the emperor in the open for several days, but in the end the fruits were snatched away by a military attaché who was not even there? What kind of martial artist is there?

Everyone turned their heads neatly and subconsciously looked at the first assistant Shen Shixing.

This memorial was produced by Shen Shoufu on the spot. It is like a key player in Go that can solve the overall situation.

Li Rusong's memorial supports the construction of the Longevity Palace in Dayu Mountain. If the emperor admires Li Rusong, wouldn't it be equivalent to agreeing with Shen Shoufu's Dayu Mountain plan?

Ginger is still old and spicy, but I didn't expect Shen Shoufu to still have this skill hidden in him!

It’s just that everyone still doesn’t understand, what is the magic power of Li Rusong’s memorial that made the emperor appreciate it so highly? Can you explain it to everyone when applying for the first assistant?

The spotlighted Shen Shoufu continued to pretend to be calm on the surface, but he was filled with doubts inside and had no idea what he had done.

Although this memorial passed through his hands, he did not know anything more than others.

"The minister is impeaching, and the people in Shangshu colluded with Shen Shixing!" Shen Shoufu's biggest political enemy, Li Zhi, a popular figure, jumped out again at this time.

The main reason is that he can't do it if he doesn't jump. If he doesn't jump out to stop him, the emperor will adopt Dayushan's plan!

If Dayu Mountain is determined to be a good place in the emperor's mind, and he keeps slandering Dayu Mountain himself, I'm afraid it will make the emperor unhappy, and he may be in trouble!

So it’s still the old way of summing everything up to Shen Shixing’s selfishness! The emperor was led to suspect that Shen Shixing was abusing his official position for personal reasons on the sensitive issues of Feng Shui and Longevity Palace!

Then Li Zhi continued to impeach: "Lin, a martial arts examiner from Wu County mentioned in Li Rusong's memorial, is a disciple of Shen Mansion!

Moreover, Lin relied on the power of the Shen government to maim Liu Shiyan, the uncle of sincerity, at Chongwenmen the day before yesterday, and escaped arrest! "

Shen Shixing: "."

How do you, Li Zhi, know about things that I, the chief minister, don’t even know?

When did our Lao Shen family have such vicious guests?

According to the normal procedure, Shen Shixing should step forward to apologize to the emperor at this time and start to defend himself.

But Shen Shoufu was completely in the dark at this time and didn't know what to say.

In the end, he could only say: "I don't know Lin, and I don't know anything about Uncle Cheng Yi."

Li Zhi chased him relentlessly and said: "After Lin committed the murder, he claimed on the street that he was a guest of Shen Mansion, and later went to Shen Mansion to call on the door. How could he be lying?

After Chengyi Bo was a hero of the founding of the People's Republic of China, it was really outrageous that he was maimed in the street! "

Shen Shoufu wanted to continue to defend himself, but it was difficult for a good woman to make a meal without rice, and it was impossible to tell the truth without knowing the truth.

At the moment of embarrassment, Emperor Wanli's voice suddenly came from the throne:

"I can't believe that this old gentleman who has always been kind to others has actually committed murders on the street!

I am deeply moved, the old gentleman finally looks like a chief assistant. "

Everyone was shocked and speechless. They didn't expect the emperor to speak in such a teasing tone.

You know, Emperor Wanli has been very wary of his ministers in the past two years, and he is generally unsmiling in front of others.

He actually took the initiative to tease him just now, which shows that the emperor is in a good mood at this time, and he has no intention of severely punishing Shen Shoufu.

Only Li Zhi, who launched the attack, was a bit depressed. Emperor, please wake up. Why does it suddenly feel like you have been drugged?

Chief Assistant Shen Shixing himself breathed a sigh of relief, as if he was fine again?

As for how he passed the test, Shen Shoufu still didn't understand. He suddenly felt that his decades of politics had been in vain.

But everyone can see that the key point must be that the emperor is suddenly in a good mood!

So everyone immediately thought of Li Rusong's memorial, and the secret must be in the memorial.

What is the connotation of this memorial? Could it be that Shen Shoufu's current rank is so high that everyone can't understand it?

Is this considered a make-up? . Owe more minus one? Do you want a monthly pass to encourage me? It’s the second half of the month, everyone must have monthly tickets again, right?
