Prince of Chaos

Shen Li knew that this was a critical moment for him, and whether he could join the cabinet was a matter of another blow.

Shen Li took a deep breath and replied: "Your Highness, King Sai is indeed strong, but it is different now. Even if the vassal king becomes bigger, he will not be able to shake the foundation of the court at all."

"After the founding of Liaodong, the imperial court can manage everything in Liaodong logically, and it can also replace the military leaders who have occupied Liaodong for many years. For the country, this is a great good! And the third son of the emperor is still young. There is a custom that a prince will become a vassal when he gets married, but there is no express regulation on the age of a prince when he becomes a vassal."

Shen Li's words are interesting, what he means is to let Zhu Changxun lead the feudal kingdom from afar, and Zhu Changluo will arrange the people who are really in charge of the affairs there.So, after hearing this sentence, Zhu Changluo couldn't help showing a smile.

At this time, Shen Li also finished in the form of a scene.

"Enabling the third son of the emperor to establish a vassal in Liaodong can not only manage the military and government of Liaodong, but also solve the problem of the third son of the emperor's meeting in Beijing, with the affection of the whole emperor and his highness."

Hearing Shen Li's proposal, Zhu Changluo's heart was also moved. He had been thinking about how to solve the Liaodong issue for a long time.

Although he has now moved Nurhachi to North Korea, and sent Hu Huaide, Li Wuyi and others to lurk in Liaodong, and made Li Rusong guard Daxing'an Mountains, but these are far from enough.

Because the ethnic structure in Liaodong is still dominated by Mongols and Jurchens, the influence of the Han people there is really limited.

Even if Zhu Changluo forcibly suppressed Liaodong's chaos throughout his life, but what about after Zhu Changluo died?
It is not uncommon for people to die, and people to take tea to cool down, whether it is in history or in reality.

Therefore, Zhu Changluo also had to think of a long-term solution, resulting in the issue of ethnic composition in Liaodong.

Today, Shen Li's words can be regarded as Zhu Changluo provided an idea.

Zhu Changluo said: "Mr. Shen is so courageous, do you know what kind of fate you will face if the words you just said spread out in the Ciqing Palace?"

Shen Li knelt down and said: "I have a heart for the country, even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire, I will face difficulties."

Looking at Shen Li who "serves the country wholeheartedly and disregards personal honor and disgrace", Zhu Changluo also laments the magic of power.

It turns out that power can really change a person's principles.

Zhu Changluo didn't express his opinion on the spot either, he wanted to think about Shen Li's thoughts again.

Zhu Changluo said: "I understand Mr. Shen's mood. Let's think about the matter of Jianfan Liaodong. You go down first."

Shen Li quietly took a peek at Zhu Changluo, and then said: "I will leave."

Shen Li, who walked out of the Ciqing Palace, felt relieved. He had risked his life and wealth to join the cabinet this time.

He suggested that the crown prince's third son established a feudal domain in Liaodong at great risk, and he just wanted to test the crown prince's attitude towards Liaodong.

Because, although Shen Li has not been in the center these years, he is also paying attention to the government affairs all the time. He can see that the crown prince has worked hard for Liaodong in these years, and he only wants to solve the Liaodong issue.

Now, the reason why he proposed Zhu Changxun to establish the Liaodong vassal is also very simple, that is, to give the crown prince a chance to directly intervene in the actual military affairs of Liaodong.

Now it seems that Li Rusong and other military families are absolutely loyal to the imperial court, but these people have been entrenched in Liaodong for too long.

For their own interests in Liaodong, they are more or less supporting the bandits.

One of the best is Li Chengliang, the current minister of the Ministry of War.

Li Chengliang played a good balance in Liaodong, earned a lot of military merit and strength, and now he has become the Minister of the Ministry of War.

However, in the end, it had little effect on Liaodong. Except for the headquarters of several military towns outside the pass, Liaodong was actually still in the hands of the Jurchens and Mongols.

With such a result, Shen Li guessed that the crown prince must be dissatisfied.

Moreover, people like these will sooner or later become a disaster for Liaodong and a hidden danger for the imperial court.

So, he boldly made this suggestion.

Moreover, she still came behind Shen Zimu's back, the intentions in this should not be too obvious.

He just wanted the crown prince to see that he was also a courtier with an overall view.

Wouldn't it be a loss to the court for a courtier like this who has a big picture but doesn't join the cabinet?

Moreover, he suggested that Zhu Changxun's establishment of the Liaodong feudal vassal can be regarded as a nomination certificate. He wants to divide with some civil servants and officials, so that the crown prince believes that he is a lonely minister who is dedicated to the country.

The reason why Shen Li did this was because he knew that the times had changed, and although Emperor Wanli was still negligent, there were still people in charge of state affairs.Since someone is in charge, then naturally there are likes and dislikes.

At present, Shen Li judges that Shen Shixing and Wang Xijue have been able to stand firm in the cabinet. The reason is that they have their own weaknesses. Then inferring from this, Shen Li feels that it is time for him to break his moral body and give himself a weakness. Let the crown prince see his big picture at the same time.

After Shen Li left, Zhu Changluo also thought about it for a long time, and he was also wondering what kind of intentions Shen Li had.

When they came to Ciqing Palace, they didn't mention anything about the cabinet, but only mentioned about Zhu Changxun's fiefdom.

What does he mean?
Zhu Changluo's fingers were inadvertently tapping on the desk in front of him. He knew that a person like Shen Li who was regarded as a genius by an official was definitely not aimless.

He must have his own thoughts, and he wants to say something but can't speak it outright, just going around in a big circle coyly.But what exactly is he trying to say?

Combined with the current situation, there is Shen Li's abnormal behavior.

Zhu Changluo couldn't help but guide Shen Li's thoughts to the cabinet again.

Originally, Shen Li came to join the cabinet from Nanjing with great hopes.

As a result, Emperor Wanli didn't see him, and Zhu Changluo directly arranged for him to be transferred to the clan's mansion, which was thankless.

Although the current patriarchal mansion is no longer under the Ministry of Rites, it is the yamen directly led by the crown prince.

However, even so, in the depths of Shen Li's heart, the clan's mansion was still inferior to the cabinet.

The cabinet is the highest ideal of civil servants, only in the cabinet can they show their talents in governing the country and the world.

So, after thinking through all this, Zhu Changluo understood Shen Li's thoughts.

Shen Li just wanted to show his loyalty to him, and he can also be a lonely minister who is dedicated to the country.

After Zhu Changluo figured it out, he sighed and shook his head, "These people have too many minds."

However, after this incident, Zhu Changluo also grasped a weakness of Shen Li.

Shen Li's weakness is that he is obsessed with joining the cabinet. In order to join the cabinet, he can change his attitude, from a moral model to a person with moral flaws.

And this moral flaw is to talk about the crown prince, the king of Jianfan!

The flaw of Jianfan Saiwang is not a small moral flaw.

In the eyes of ordinary civil servants and officials, this is almost treasonous advice.But it was this flaw that gave Shen Li a chance.

If he still wants to be a morally pure minister, then he will never even think about joining the cabinet in this life.

After Zhu Changluo figured this out, he told Wei Zhongxian: "You go and tell Shen Li yourself, and ask him to write a detailed memorial and submit it. You can only make a decision after reading it."

After Wei Zhongxian got Zhu Changluo's order, he immediately went to Shen Li's place.

After arriving on the ground where Shen Li worked, Wei Zhongxian looked at Shen Li and said, "Master Shen, the Crown Prince has an order."

After Shen Li heard this purposeful sentence, his heart beat a few more times excitedly.

Shen Zimu looked suspiciously, and finally he followed Shen Li to greet the order.

Wei Zhongxian said: "The crown prince has an order: Write a detailed memorial and submit it. You must read it before making a decision."

Shen Li immediately bowed and said, "I accept the decree."

Shen Zimu also kowtowed inexplicably.

After Wei Zhongxian left, Shen Zimu came out and asked, "Mr. Shen, what memorial did His Highness ask you to write?"

Shen Li said softly and slowly: "It's about the emperor's third son's establishment of a feudal domain."

Shen Zimu snorted, then didn't ask any more questions, and went to sort out Chu Fan's files again.

Seeing that the witnesses of the Chu Fan case are about to enter the capital, all kinds of materials about the Chu Fan case are now gathered in the capital, and Shen Zimu is also working overtime to clean up.
