little emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 223
With the end of the last rain in April, Beijing has officially entered May.The weather is like a stove with a fire on it, and the gurgling heat is like boiling water, steaming up little by little.

It's not just the weather that gets hot, but also the Ming court.Since the former chief assistant Shen Shixing and the second assistant Wang Xijue entered the cabinet again with a high profile, the first thing they did was to accept the order of the prince and discuss the selection of two ministers into the cabinet at today's court meeting.

Prince Zhu Changluo did not participate in this court meeting, but it didn't mean he didn't know what would happen in it.

There is no suspense about the candidate for the third assistant. Originally, Yu Shenxing had the highest voice and the oldest qualifications to join the cabinet. If it hadn’t been for the sudden appearance of the two kings and kings, this time the cabinet’s first assistant was a certainty. give in.

The competition for the remaining Sifu's seat was taken for granted. After some fighting, Li Sancai and Li Tingji emerged as the most popular candidates.The two are supported by each other, and their strengths are comparable. It is not surprising that Li San has strength. After all, he is the governor of Fengyang and the censor of Zuodu.

But I didn't expect Li Tingji to be no more than the official book of the Ministry of Rites, and he was from Nanjing. Compared with Li Sancai, who is in the sky, he is completely an ant against an elephant, but the facts speak louder than words. The courtiers in front of him suddenly sighed: real people don't show their faces, and they don't show their faces...

As Shen Shixing and Wang Xijue who presided over the court discussion, their opinions were completely different.Shen Shixing advocated Li Tingji's position, because Li Tingji was famous for his integrity. In the Ming Dynasty, where the turbidity was the same, black and white were not distinguished, there were not many officials like him.Wang Xijue hesitated a bit, because Li Sancai was his most proud disciple. He also admitted that Li Sancai was indeed inferior to Li Tingji in terms of character. This is an indisputable fact, but Li Sancai was superior to Li Tingji in terms of ability. There are many opportunities, whether it is public or private, the balance in his heart will inevitably lean more towards Li Sancai.

The two parties couldn't stop arguing, and the normally dignified officials were all blushing one by one. When a few of them were angry and choked their arms and necks and were about to let go of the fight, they saw that the Hall of Supreme Harmony had become a vegetable market, and there was a possibility that the vegetable With the trend of the market developing towards the arena, Shen Shihang once again used his expertise in harmony, and immediately decided to present the situation of the two to the Palace of Compassion, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will decide.

Wei Chao, who had been waiting in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, ran to the Ciqing Palace with the wind under his feet, and learned that the crown prince was meeting guests in the South Study Room.

After entering the study, it was discovered that the prince was in the middle of a lively conversation with a very strange black-faced scribe in the study.

Wei Chao only glanced at the expression on the prince's face, and instantly concluded that the relationship between this person and the prince must be unusual, so he couldn't help but glanced intently, but unexpectedly, that person was also looking at him.When the two met, Wei Chao hurriedly lowered his head, but suddenly found that although the expression on the other's face was kind and friendly, his eyes seemed to be separated by a layer of fog, and he couldn't see anything clearly.

Seeing him coming in, Zhu Changluo said indifferently: "But what happened up front?"

Wei Chao held his breath and told him the news that Shen Shixing wanted him to deliver, and then flattered him respectfully: "Your Highness is as clever as a god in the sky."

Seeing him flattering so much, Wang An's eyes almost popped.

Zhu Changluo glanced at him, and said casually: "Go to the Hall of Supreme Harmony and wait. As for the matter of Er Li, we will have a conclusion later."

After sending Wei Chao away, Zhu Changluo smiled at Sun Chengzong who had been staring at Wei Chao's leaving back: "Teacher, what should we do about this?"

Since returning to Beijing with Zhu Changluo, Sun Chengzong, who hadn't seen him for a long time, appeared in Ciqing Palace for the first time.These days, Sun Chengzong has more or less heard of all the things that happened in the harem. Although he is always worried about Zhu Changluo, he has an almost paranoid belief in this young prince. He believes that no matter how difficult he is, he will break through smoothly. out.

Sun Chengzong is a persevering and cautious person, who knows the general situation and the importance. He knows that the only way he can help Zhu Changluo is to completely complete the important task he entrusted to him. He will never forget that Zhu Changluo entrusted himself with the task of reorganizing the three major battalions of the capital. When he took it, the solemn look of expectation made him restless day and night, as if under the pressure of a mountain in his heart, wishing to turn one day into ten, for fear that he could not do well and delay the prince's great plan .

Hard work must pay off, the current three major battalions of the capital are vastly different from before.However, Sun Chengzong came today not to talk about the three camps, but because he was entrusted by others and had to come.

Seeing that Zhu Changluo asked each other, the two of them were in love with each other, and there was no need for politeness.Sun Chengzong thought for a while, and said bluntly: "From a public perspective, Li Sancai is indeed better than Li Tingji in terms of ability, but in terms of character, the two will be judged early." When he said this, there was no sound Pause, but the voice has lowered: "Personally speaking, if I were His Highness, I would not choose!"

Sun Chengzong's speech has always been simple and direct, he never turns corners, knows his confidants, there is no need to play those lies.In the two theories of public and private, the former is magnificent, while the latter is mysterious.

There was an inexplicable smile in Zhu Changluo's eyes, and he suddenly said, "Teacher, if you weren't responsible for the training of the three major battalions of the capital, you would be the No. 1 choice to join the cabinet today."

Rao Sun Chengzong has always been cheerful and free-spirited, and rarely loses his composure, so it is inevitable that he will blush at this moment.

Anyone who studies hard for ten years is only to be able to jump into the dragon gate and enter the court; and the goal of the ministers who enter the court is to fight for it all their lives, naturally to be able to save themselves in Wenyuan Pavilion and have valuable possessions in it. a seat.Because as long as you enter the Wenyuan Pavilion, it means that your status in the Ming Dynasty is already at the peak. It is not too much to describe it as being under one person and looking down on all living beings.This is the highest ideal that all scholars dream of. Sun Chengzong is also a scholar, so naturally he cannot be exempt.

Suddenly out of the corner of his eyes, he caught a glimpse of the smile at the corner of Zhu Changluo's mouth holding up the teacup. The heat in his heart just now was like pouring a bucket of snow water: "Your Highness, you are teasing this humble minister again."

Zhu Changluo, who put down his teacup, said seriously: "The teacher is open-minded and wise. He can see what others have never seen and think what others have never thought. However, in front of such a powerful person, he still can't avoid the vulgarity. This is human nature; but Chang Luo knows that the teacher's heart In the world, the great wish in life is only for the fulfillment of one's life ambitions, but not for power or selfish desire."

Despite being calm in the center, Sun Chengzong still had a fever on his face, and quickly changed the topic: "The two Lis are equal, what is your Highness going to do?"

"It's just an obvious thing...you can do what you don't want by showing that you can't."

Sure enough, he was a bosom friend, and Zhu Changluo's words immediately resonated with Sun Chengzong: "Soldiers are deceitful, and the situation of the court depends on the situation of the battle, Your Highness is a great talent!"

Zhu Changluo smiled slyly, "Didn't the teacher already say it just now? I won't choose." He casually told Wang An: "Go to Qianqing Palace to find your master, and see if Father Huang has gotten up at this moment. If he gets up, just say I want to see you." drive."

Wang An quickly agreed, turned around with a happy smile and walked away. When he reached the door, he suddenly turned around and saluted Sun Chengzong, and then ran out in a hurry.Seeing Wang An's furious look, Sun Chengzong was a little amused after being stunned: "The two father-in-laws beside His Highness are more elves than the other, but the former one..."

He stopped before he finished speaking, but the meaning was very clear. Zhu Changluo nodded, his eyes fluctuating from deep to shallow: "Let's just watch, it's still too early to make a conclusion." Sun Chengzong admired him in his heart, this is People who do big things don’t stick to small details, but the prince’s heart is as open as a big river, full of mud and sand. In contrast, he has obviously fallen behind, and he secretly warns himself. Sure enough, if he doesn’t study for a day, he will fall behind, and he has to go back. Work hard.

Sun Chengzong was convinced, and flattered him from the bottom of his heart: "Your Highness is wise."

"Teacher entered the palace this time, but what do you want to say?"

Ever since entering the palace, Zhu Changluo has never asked about the training situation of the three major camps in the capital. Sun Chengzong knew that this was the other party's wholehearted trust. This discovery made him feel moved again. When the prince asked, he dared not hesitate: "I entered the palace this time for Mo Jiangcheng."

As soon as Sun Chengzong's words fell, Zhu Changluo, who heard the news of Mo Jiangcheng again, stood up suddenly: "Really?"

There was an undisguised surprise in his tone, and his face was full of joy.

Apparently he didn't expect this news to bring such a big shock to the prince, Sun Chengzong expressed a little dizzy: "Jiangcheng asked me to inform His Highness that he has been with the captain from Frangji, what's his name... Rodia... Come to Beijing."

It is rare to see Zhu Changluo being so overjoyed, which inevitably makes Sun Chengzong very curious, and at the same time, he is also full of deep curiosity about Captain Franji.

"Great, it's just in time. Teacher, please tell Jiang Cheng to treat him well. I will see him in three days at the earliest, five days at the latest."

The Hall of Supreme Harmony was full of swords and swords, and when the imperial decree came in, this was what I saw.

The result of the imperial decree was both expected and unexpected. The emperor hand-picked Li Tingji as the fourth assistant of the cabinet under prudent action; As far as Ting Ji is concerned, the scenery of this fourth assistant far exceeds that of the third assistant Yu Shenxing. After all, his fourth assistant can be regarded as hand-picked by the imperial pen; Li Sancai with a livid face.

The letter was naturally from Prince Zhu Changluo, the meaning was very simple, ordering Ye Xianggao to enter the cabinet immediately, as the fifth assistant at the end of the group.

Needless to say anything... There was an uproar in the Hall of Supreme Harmony!Li Tingji became the fourth assistant, although many people are jealous, but there will not be too many people who will not accept it.After all, compared with Li Sancai, Li Tingji is not much weaker than Li Sancai in terms of seniority or official position.But Ye Xianggao couldn't do it anymore, and at the beginning of the court discussion, he clearly stated that only the positions of the third assistant and the fourth assistant were discussed. Then the fifth assistant who fell from the sky was sealed by the prince's hand, and the tricks in it are naturally OK. Let many officials think about it.

... Li Sancai's eyes were about to burst into flames, Li Tingji was fine, but now even Ye Xianggao stepped on his head?
Not to mention Li Sancai, even Shen Shixing and Wang Xijue looked at each other, and the surprise in their eyes was self-evident.

If an imperial decree issued by Wanli just now turned the Hall of Supreme Harmony into a hidden powder keg, then the subsequent edict from the prince became the fuse to ignite the powder keg.
