little emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 210
"Causes of misfortune are mostly hidden in subtleties, but appear in the unnoticed." This sentence is appropriate enough to describe Shen's consistent mood at the moment. The old fox who has experienced countless storms and waves, did not expect to find himself in a small puddle dug by himself. It is not terrible to fall down, but the terrible thing is that before you get up, there is already a net outside the pit.

Glancing at Shen Yiguan with a sluggish expression, Wanli nodded to Li Sancai in satisfaction: "Very good, you can go down."

A smile finally appeared on Li Sancai's tense face, and when he turned around, he happened to meet Shen Yiguan's eyes.

Li Sancai didn't feel apologetic or uneasy in the eyes of the other party who were almost bursting with anger, except for a little gloom, there was only a sense of relief after a heavy burden.

When passing by Shen Yiguan, Li Sancai glanced at him... If I don't confess you, I won't be able to protect myself.

They are all people who understand, some words don't need to be spoken, a look is a thousand words, Shen Yiguan understood the words in Li Sancai's eyes, and at the same time, he also understood that what he can do now is not to stare at his back He gritted his teeth, because that would not be of any help to solve the immediate crisis. The question now is how to get through this... Shen Yiguan was suddenly very sad, and all signs showed that the road had come to an end.

All the courtiers stared at this almost dramatic scene, seeing a generation of slippery foxes planted in Li Sancai's hands, and there was a word in their hearts: it is easy to rise and retreat, and it is easy to reverse and return to the villain. .So Li Sancai stood on one-third of the ground, and everyone consciously gave up a distance.

Ye Xianggao looked at Li Sancai who passed by him with a complicated expression, his eyes were full of inquiries, and unexpectedly found that Li Sancai was very different from before, when he passed by Ye Xianggao, he didn't even give a glance .For some unknown reason, Ye Xianggao suddenly felt a chill penetrate his bones, and looked around the courtiers with extremely eager eyes...Suddenly, he found that there was no sign of Gu Xiancheng at all!

In this moment, Shen Yiguan's mind turned thousands of times, his position was chaotic, he couldn't even kneel down, and he fell to the ground and collapsed.

"Old Shen Ge, what else do you want to say?" Wanli said coldly, adding a bit of chill to the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

There is nothing to say until now, Shen Yiguan closed his eyes wearily.

One letter is enough to confirm the situation, and one more sentence will only add to the charge of sophistry, and he said sadly: "The old minister was confused for a while, and did something wrong because of a private grievance. Please read it after the old minister has been in the court for many years. For the sake of hard work, I will spare this old minister." After speaking, tears and snot flowed down his nose.

Shen Yiguan's actions are completely embarrassing and pitiful in the eyes of unintentional people, but in the eyes of caring people, it is like a scorpion tiger's last move to survive.

Unmoved at all, Wanli snorted coldly, glanced at the ministers with victorious eyes, and suddenly said with a smile: "Is there anyone who begged for old Shen Ge?"

Today, all the people standing in the Hall of Supreme Harmony are the best of the best. Everyone can see that the emperor is determined to deal with Shen Yiguan this time. Go out to intercede at this time?That is, the old birthday star took poison and felt that he had lived enough... So all the courtiers bowed their heads together, Qian Menggao's face turned pale, just about to make a move, but Zhong Zhaodou shook his head at him with a dark face, Qian Menggao was stunned , The whole person instantly became stiff as a wood.

At this time, those who go out to intercede have only one result, they will definitely be considered by the emperor as Shen Yitong's henchmen, and they will not know their fate.

The holy will is like a mountain and sea, who dares to resist it!

Seeing that the road is coming to an end, and there is no way to return to the sky, in the chilling despair, I suddenly think of a line that fits this scene: Suddenly, it seems like a building is falling, and it is dire and miserable, like a lamp is about to end... Years of ups and downs in the officialdom, for the Shen Yiguan couldn't see clearly the emperor's mind at this moment?In an instant, he was dripping with cold sweat, and while feeling disheartened, his mind was as clear as a bucket of snow water: It seems that the emperor is really going to do something to him this time... Once he forgot this, he fell into a deep depression. Fear, what's next is exile?Court staff or relegation?No matter which kind, for the chief minister of the cabinet, it is a shame that can no longer be washed away in this life, Shen always gritted his teeth fiercely!

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded, like gold and jade colliding, clear and crisp, it was indescribably sweet.

"Father, Emperor Nian Zai Shen Ge, as the chief assistant of the cabinet, has worked so hard, and his merits and demerits will be offset. Let him return to his hometown to retire."

So everyone in the Hall of Supreme Harmony raised their heads and looked at the present prince Zhu Changluo in surprise.

The first sentence that the prince, who has been silent since he went to court today, was actually pleading for Shen Yiguan.

In the eyes of all the officials, the prince who stood silently by the side of the throne was invisible, and beside the tyrannical and tyrannical Wanli, he seemed to be a faint shadow, not attracting attention at all. But once he walked out at this moment, that unstoppable nobleness instantly shone brightly, his long eyebrows raised lightly, and his eyes were sharp, giving people the feeling of being unfathomable, as if facing an abyss.

Compared with the various reactions of the ministers, Li Sancai was a little stunned at this time, his surprised eyes only kept turning between the emperor and the prince; There was a very strange look on his face.

Shen Yiguan was shocked all over, and raised his head in astonishment, the corners of his eyes instantly burst into tears, this time the tears did not have the slightest performance element, they came from the heart.

According to later official historian records: In April of the 20th year of Wanli, Emperor Wanli denounced Shen Yiguan for forming a party for personal gain and framing ministers, which led to more and more impeachers. Carp battle facts.Wanli was furious, all the officials remained silent, and the prince pleaded for mercy. Since Shen Yiguan took office, he had no credit but hard work. Wanli finally relented and decided to remove Shen Yiguan, a scholar of the Dongge University and the chief assistant of the cabinet. He will never resume his job for life, and he is allowed to return to his hometown for the elderly.

When this decree was struck, it was like a bolt from the sky. Shen Yiguan never dreamed that it would end up like this. After decades of hard work, he was empty-handed in a blink of an eye. He lost the power that he had fought for all his life and regarded as his life. For a while, my whole body was as cold as ice, and I felt that all thoughts were lost. For a while, it seemed that several holes were opened in my whole body, and the air was ventilated everywhere.

In a daze, with a thud, several memorials fell out of his sleeves, waking up the stunned Shen Yiguan.The originally sluggish expression suddenly became agitated, his eyes were already flushed, he looked at Shen Li viciously, knelt down again and said: "Your Majesty and Your Highness have treated the old minister with kindness, and the old minister is grateful, but there is only one thing that the old minister wants to ask your Majesty and Your Highness to give The old minister is in charge!"

Wanli raised his lips slightly, his expression was slightly vigilant, and there was a sneer at the corner of his mouth, which was full of unspeakable sarcasm: "If you have anything to say, just say it, as long as it is not too much, I will allow you."

There was a coldness in his heart, and Shen Yiguan's voice stopped abruptly... The emperor has spoken to this point, and he has said one sentence as ten sentences, not only cutting off the last thought in his heart, but also telling him clearly No room for turning back.The person who can be the chief assistant of the cabinet is naturally not one who can be promoted just by pointing at the gangsters. He has already made up his mind at the moment.

"The old minister knows that he has no place to gain a foothold in the court, so he will naturally obey His Majesty's will and return to his hometown immediately to think about his past." After speaking, he stretched out his hand and pointed at Shen Li, and his voice was extremely loud: "It's just that the old minister wants to go, so he will go too!"

Everyone, His Majesty and His Majesty, were dumbfounded... except the prince Zhu Changluo who was hiding a smile in his eyes.

Wanli was visibly stunned, his surprised eyes swept across Shen Li's face, and then back to Shen Yiguan.

Shen Yiguan, who had already made up his mind to kill the net, had no scruples and said with a sneer: "Your Majesty is impartial and selfless, and all officials have a clear heart; if the old official is guilty, then Shen Li is also guilty. If the old official accepts the punishment, Shen Li should also accept the punishment." Looking at Shen Li, his eyes and brows were full of cruelty, and the meaning was clear and almost explicit: even if I die, I will have to be held back!
Knowing Shen Yiguan's intentions, Wanli's face instantly turned a little dark, but there was nothing to refute Shen Yiguan's words, because Shen Li had already confessed his guilt in front of all the officials in front of the palace just now, and now he is being punished for forming a party After falling in love with Shen Yiguan, he was unprepared that Shen Yiguan insisted on dragging Shen Li to die together. Even if Wanli was the one and only emperor, under the watchful eyes of all the people, he could only remain speechless and had nothing to say.

There was a short silence in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and the ministers saw this dramatic scene again, and they discussed in low voices for a while.

One shook his head and sighed: "Did you see that, the emperor's face is very exciting. This Shen has always been the prince's teacher, and Shen Li is the emperor's teacher. It's really difficult to decide which is more important."

The other immediately retorted: "What's so difficult about it! Shen Li was personally selected by the emperor to be the second assistant to the cabinet, so now he is naturally giving up one thing and the other."

Ye Xianggao glanced at the two, and said with a cold smile, "They both committed the same crime, how can we punish one and let the other go?"

As soon as these words came out, all the ministers remained silent and did not speak out again.

Wanli, who was perched on the throne, frowned, swept across the faces of the officials, and finally landed on Shen Yiguan, and suddenly said, "Shen Li, what do you say?"

Shen Li, who was named, smiled dejectedly, because he already understood what the emperor meant.

There was a tinge of relief in my heart, after all, the emperor was still thinking about his old love. Compared with Shen Yiguan's embarrassing ending, the way he dealt with in front of him had already given him enough face.

"I know that my virtue is deficient, and I am not worthy to help and protect His Majesty in Beijing. I am the leader of the ministers. I beg you to return to your hometown immediately. From then on, you will close your door and think about your mistakes, and you will repent and make amends."

Wanli sighed faintly, speaking from the bottom of his heart, he was not willing to let Shen Li go.But the situation is like this, if Shen Li doesn't leave, Shen has always been dissatisfied, all the officials will talk about it, and there will inevitably be twists and turns.

Turning his head and glanced at Zhu Changluo, he saw that the other party's eyes were shining brightly, calm and calm, whispering to the ministers, each with their own ghosts, reflected in each other, he was happy from the bottom of his heart, suddenly thinking of Song Yizhi's words, his heart felt sad again: "Luo Er , how do you think this matter should be handled?"

Suddenly being called by Wanli, Zhu Changluo didn't panic. He said yes, and stood quietly a step forward. His faint eyes swept across Shen Yiguan's face. The smile lines on the corners of his mouth remained unfading, but the upward arc was full of Shen Yitong, who was cold and stiff, with a crazy face, met his eyes and shuddered immediately.

"A gentleman has the beauty of being an adult. Since the two pavilion elders intend to retire, please ask your father for mercy."

The prince's words were like pouring a ladle of hot water into a hot iron pot, and there was an uncontrollable gasp...

Shen Yiguan's face is getting darker and darker, while Shen Li's face is getting whiter
Frowning slightly, he glanced at Zhu Changluo, and suddenly smiled: "It's up to you."
