Borrow the day to change the day

() Zhong Jinwei returned to the Earl's Mansion on the other side of Dingfu Street, and immediately ordered Yu Haining to arrange for someone to bring food to support the surveillance fan.

Yu Haining didn't ask why, and immediately set the kitchen on fire to cook.Because he didn't expect Zhong Jinwei to come back, and he didn't eat any food, so there was no ready-made cooked food.

Zhong Jinwei sat in the upper seat of the lobby, and asked several other servants to sit separately, and then said: "Everyone, what do you think about today's matter?"

The four servants looked at each other, and the servant who was close to Zhong Jinwei said first, "Uncle Zhongxing, I thought that even if you got it wrong, there must be something wrong with the Baoding Hou Mansion."

"Oh, tell me." Zhong Jinwei was still sure if he heard it wrong.Just listening to what Fan Yan said, assuming that I got it wrong, there are problems in the Baoding Marquis Mansion, so I couldn't help being a little curious, so I asked.

"If Marquis Baoding hadn't done anything wrong, judging from the status of both parties, even if Uncle Zhongxing was a celebrity in front of the emperor, he wouldn't let us leave so easily. What's more, Marquis Baoding was also in charge of the capital. People, would they be so easy to get along with each other?" Fan Yan asserted.

"Okay, tomorrow morning I will ask the emperor to ask you Dongchang to come forward. I don't believe that the emperor will not give me this face." Zhong Jinwei said while nodding.

"Uncle Zhongxing, I will wait for four people to stand by your side tonight, in case they jump over the wall in a hurry." Another fan followed up and talked about their plan.

"Okay, I'm so thankful for everyone." Zhong Jinwei sat there and thanked him.

After dinner, Zhong Jinwei came to the study, took out the preserved "Popular Romance of the Three Kingdoms", touched a hole in it, picked up the arrow again, and read it against the light.

He seemed to have seen the scene of that day again, first the ambush of the ruined shed, and then the chasing and interception.If it weren't for Gu Baichuan's awakening, Archie's tenderness, Wang Peng's self-sacrificing interception, Yan Yingyuan's ability to kill the enemy, and the coincident appearance of Hu Hao's night-and-night squad, let alone saving Daming, he would be dead now .

The person who assassinated must be found out, and the person in charge must also be found out.Since you want me to die, I will not be soft.Zhong Jinwei said to himself secretly in his heart.

For Zhong Jinwei, nothing happened overnight.On the fourth morning of the third year of Chongzhen, Zhong Jinwei got up early, and after a simple breakfast, he rushed to the Forbidden City to see Emperor Chongzhen.

Emperor Chongzhen had summoned the cabinet and various ministers to discuss matters in the Wenhua Palace. Hearing that Zhong Jinwei asked for an audience, he wondered why Zhong Jinwei came to ask for an audience so early in the morning. If there is any good news, he summoned him quickly.

Zhong Jinwei entered the hall and saw why there were so many people present, so he hesitated whether to speak in front of these people.After all, these people don't know themselves as well as Emperor Chongzhen. If I say it in front of them, I'm afraid they will blame themselves first.

Before he could think clearly, Emperor Chongzhen said with a smile: "Master Zhong, you came just in time. Wen Qing has a book to play, so you just listen to it."

Zhong Jinwei was surprised that Wen Tiren had something to say about his own business, oh, could it really be his own business.Thinking about it, she looked at Wen Tiren.

Wen Tiren, who had already left his shift, listened to Emperor Chongzhen's words, and said, "Your Majesty, I think that the court's deliberations have not yet reached a conclusion, but it has been passed on to everyone. Ordinary things are fine, but the same is true for some military affairs and basic national policies. , I thought it was necessary to strictly rectify it.”

After Wen Tiren finished briefly the main content, he took out a memorial from his sleeve and said: "Your Majesty, this is my minister's proposal on this matter. Please read it over."

The Zhongguan who was accompanying him hurried over to show the memorial to Emperor Chongzhen.Emperor Chongzhen glanced at it for a while, and then asked his servants to take it down and pass it on to other cabinet ministers and six ministers.

Several cabinet ministers were a little dissatisfied when they saw that Wen Tiren handed over the paper directly to Emperor Chongzhen without first discussing it with them in the cabinet.After taking it over and looking at it, I have even more opinions.

Emperor Chongzhen saw that the officials below had seen it almost, and asked: "All the officials, what do you think of this matter?"

As soon as Zhong Jinwei heard what Wen Tiren said, he knew what it was. He had agreed with Wen Tiren before, no wonder Emperor Chongzhen let him listen to it.

The assistant minister Cheng Ji ordered to go out to return to Emperor Chongzhen and said: "Your Majesty, I think it is inappropriate. There is nothing that cannot be said to the people about the affairs of the country. It is even more absurd to divide things into three, six, and nine grades as mentioned in the memorial. The matters discussed by the imperial court are all related to the lives of the billions of people in the Ming Dynasty, and each matter is piled up, and that is not a big matter."

Speaking of this, he glanced at Wen Tiren, and said again: "If the matter discussed by the imperial court is kept secret and the people don't know it, wouldn't they be afraid?"

Wen Tiren was originally facing Emperor Chongzhen. Hearing Cheng Jiming's crooked words, he turned around and said to him: "Could it be that you are standing above the court, not discussing matters for the people, but seeking personal gain for yourself, so you must not People trust?"

"You...you spitting blood!" Cheng Jiming became excited when he heard it.

Zhong Jinwei listened on the sidelines and secretly thought Wen Tiren was good, this is not Ah San's country, where everyone participates and wrangles every day.

Wen Tiren ignored Cheng Jiming, turned around and said to Emperor Chongzhen: "Of course, I have also considered the officials, gentry, and common people's right to know in various parts of the Ming Dynasty. It has to be kept secret, like a military matter..."

Wen Tiren didn't finish his sentence, but was interrupted again. This time it was Li Biao, the chief assistant: "So what about military and state affairs, the common people have no way of knowing, and the court didn't inform them, so why should we keep them in the dark?"

Wen Tiren sighed slightly, it's really difficult to accomplish something.Then he turned to Li Biao and said: "If the important military affairs discussed by the imperial court are not kept secret and spread out, what should we do if there are enemies who secretly work on them?"

Li Biao raised his eyebrows, and said disdainfully: "It's okay to know, Da Ming is the country of China, you should treat it as a gentleman, and defeat it with an upright teacher, so that the enemy can be convinced and never become an enemy of Da Ming."

Upon hearing this, Wen Tiren asked back: "An upright teacher? Just like the guilty minister Yang Gao who sent out his troops before sending out a letter of war?"

"That's just Yang Gao's incompetence!"

"Damn, your brain was kicked by a donkey, so you can say that." Zhong Jinwei was not in a good mood. Hearing that Li Biao still wanted to learn from Song Xianggong, he couldn't help but curse.

Everyone in Wenhua Hall was stunned for a moment, they didn't expect Uncle Zhongxing to speak, and he was so rude.

Li Biao was scolded by a young man, his old face turned red, even the emperor dared not speak to him like this.

Li Biao was so angry that he pointed at Zhong Jinwei with a trembling hand and said, "You, you..."

Zhong Jinwei scolded and scolded, he couldn't just bow his head and plead guilty now.Besides, what he said was really annoying, but fortunately he was still the leader of Ming Dynasty.

"You, what, you, have you ever heard that you speak without thinking through your brain, and you never tire of cheating? The reason why Daming has been defeated repeatedly is because of you, a rotten scholar who only knows how to talk. It's so funny to be upright!"

"You, you..." Li Biao was so angry that his beard trembled.

"I, what's wrong with me, if I didn't see how old you are, I really want to beat you up. Do you know how many tragedies will happen in Daming if you move your lips up and down? Do you know how much more food the court will spend? "

Li Biao moved his mouth, but he couldn't talk as much as Zhong Jinwei; when he stepped forward to fight, one hand was enough.I had no choice but to turn to Emperor Chongzhen, trying to calm down the heavy panting and said: "Your Majesty, you must be the master of the old minister. Otherwise, the old minister will have to retire and return home."

Emperor Chongzhen has been listening to the arguments of his courtiers.Regarding the matter of secrecy, he had agreed to Wen Tiren's proposal before, and then asked Wen Tiren to draft a memorial.

He was very unhappy when he saw that these veteran ministers were using the common people as an example, and there was a report from the East Factory that the fastest sellers of news were these elders' domestic servants.

Now Zhong Jinwei came forward to refute them. Although his language was a bit rude, Emperor Chongzhen was secretly happy.

Seeing that Li Biao said he couldn't beat Zhong Jinwei, he came to ask himself for help, and said to Zhong Jinwei: "Master Zhong, don't be rude to Li Shoufu. Respecting the old and loving the young is the basic etiquette advocated by my Ming Dynasty. You must remember it."

Zhong Jinwei listened to Emperor Chongzhen talking about himself, but he didn't mean to blame himself at all in his tone. He understood Emperor Chongzhen's state of mind, and because of such venting, his mood improved a lot, so he replied cooperatively: "I know I was wrong. You must respect the old and love the young.”

Emperor Chongzhen saw that Zhong Jinwei was very good, he smiled secretly, then turned to Li Biao and said, "I have already told Master Zhong, and Mr. Li Ge calmed down. But regarding this matter, I think what Master Zhong said is reasonable."
