Wanli 1592

Chapter 578 The Enemy

Zhao Zhigao is very clear about his position.

"The veteran is naturally far inferior to Zhuge Wuhou."

Zhu Yijun said again: "Then Mr. Zhao Ge thinks I'm better than Liu Chan?"

Zhao Zhigao understood.

Who is Liu Chan?

The emperor who died of Ji Han II, the king of subjugated country, the mediocre person who is happy to miss Shu, the mud that can't be lifted up, the last gravedigger of Liu Han's foundation, and the representative of the shameful emperor who left the city and surrendered.

People who are incompatible with Daming's stubborn nation-building ideology are unlikely to be recognized by Daming.

Is Zhu Yijun the king of subjugation?Or does it mean that Zhao Zhigao thinks Zhu Yijun is the king of subjugation?Or did Zhu Yijun decide to give up resistance and leave the city to surrender in the face of national crisis?
Since Zhao Zhigao is not as good as Zhuge Liang, but Zhu Yijun is worse than Liu Chan, what else can we say?

Zhu Yijun's subtext was very clear.

Lao Zhao, don’t teach me this, just do your job honestly, be your chief assistant, and protect me from the gun. In return, I will give you a peaceful old age, prosperity and wealth, but only one thing , you must not try to teach me, the only person who can be my teacher is the bearded man who made me regret my whole life.

You do not deserve.

Zhao Zhigao was speechless, closed his mouth, his lips trembled slightly, and then bowed down expressionlessly.

"The old minister understands that His Majesty has a clear decision on the affairs of the cabinet. No matter what decision His Majesty makes, the old minister should obey it. Your Majesty, the old minister will resign now."

"Master Ge, go slowly."

Zhu Yijun smiled slightly.

Zhao Zhigao tremblingly left Zhu Yijun's sight, and the smile on Zhu Yijun's face also disappeared.

No one can teach me, the only one who can teach me is that person, that person who was destroyed by you by my own hands, he is my Zhuge Liang, but I... I am not even as good as Liu Chan.

Turning around, Zhu Yijun sighed deeply and closed his eyes.

Turning around, Zhao Zhigao, who was walking slowly, sighed deeply, staring blankly at the ground under his feet.

There is no room for recovery and relaxation, the two sides have become enemies, there is no room for recovery, what I have been trying to do has finally ended in failure, and there is no room for recovery.

In history, has there ever been such a serious antagonism between the emperor and the ministers?They hate each other, one side wants to destroy the other, and the other wants to imprison this side.

Great Ming Dynasty... Great Ming Dynasty...

I don't know what Shen Yiguan will bring to the Ming Dynasty. Is it the hope of rebirth or the harbinger of destruction?
Zhao Zhigao instinctively felt that this was not rebirth, but destruction.

As a result, he was powerless to stop, unable to stop, and impossible to stop.

After Zhao Zhigao returned to the cabinet with a blank face, he closed the door and saw no one. An hour later, the emperor's message came from the palace.

Shen Yiguan was promoted to the second assistant of the cabinet to assist the aging and frail Zhao Zhigao in handling government affairs.

Shen Yiguan's mood can no longer be summed up simply by the word ecstasy, and Shen Li's mood can't be summed up by the simple word lost. It is at this moment that everyone understands that the next cabinet of the Ming Dynasty after Zhao Zhigao Who is the chief assistant?

At a time when the country is in crisis, the candidate for the next Chief Assistant of the Ming Dynasty has been announced.

Shen Yiguan!
However, before Shen Yiguan could be happy for a while, half an hour later, the emperor issued another order to Shen Yiguan, but not to anyone else.

Shen has always been in charge of arranging the disaster relief work for the reconstruction of Datong and Shanxi after the war.

Shen Yiguan was dumbfounded at the time, and Shen Li was also dumbfounded.

It took a while for Shen Yiguan to understand what the emperor meant.

It turned out that this was the certification test for whether he could be promoted from the second assistant to the first assistant to become the ruler of the Ming Empire with one person under one man and over ten thousand people.

If he succeeds in this exam, he can be called the first assistant of Ming Dynasty, but if he fails this exam, if he fails, then he may have to leave, and his life may not be saved.

Moreover, this handbook did not mention any content of internal money, that is to say, internal money is a means of cheating in this exam, which is not allowed by the emperor.

The emperor was determined not to allocate internal funds, and only allowed Shen Yiguan to pass the national treasury to complete the exam.

After half an hour, Shen Yiguan, who locked himself in the guard room, finally understood the emperor's intention.

It's not that he is in the emperor's heart, but the emperor knows that he has a bad relationship with the officials and has enmity with the Yanguan group, so the emperor decides to let himself fight for the control of the treasury with the corrupt officials of the Manchu Dynasty as a death squad, and use it to offend The price of corrupt officials in the Manchu dynasty in exchange for the position on his head.

My lord, you...you are pushing me into the pit of fire...

Shen Yiguan hid in his duty room and smiled wryly.

So it turned out that the reason for not choosing Shen Li was because he knew that Shen Li would not obey his orders, and would use the old tricks to force the emperor to hand over his internal funds to solve the problem, and by the way divide up his internal funds, and Shen Li I've never done this before, and I don't have the guts to do so.

It is so, it is so.

This is to force myself and the officials to completely split, and become the emperor's thugs in exchange for the position of chief assistant, otherwise... the emperor will even not have a chief assistant or certain official positions, so as to threaten the group minister.

The emperor treats his ministers as life and death enemies, not as people who are in the same boat!What is this for, my lord?Don't you want this dynasty?

Throwing this hot potato to someone Shen is killing me!
To compete with those corrupt officials for money, to redefine the distribution of benefits, to do such offending things.

Your Majesty, do you know that no one is willing to spit out what they have eaten, taking money from people is like killing their parents, they will not let it go!Let alone me, even if it is the emperor, they are not too hard to do!Otherwise, would you like to see His Majesty Zhengde?
There is only one Zhang Juzheng, he has the guts, he already has the determination to die, but I don't, I, Shen Yiguan, is a complete bureaucrat, I... I don't have the guts!
There will be no more Zhang Juzheng in Daming, not now, and never in the future, really, believe me, my lord, there will be no more!
Shen Yiguan thought over and over for several days, and finally decided to give up this seemingly easy-to-get wealth, which may cost his entire family's wealth and lives.

He's a bureaucrat, he's a politician, he's not a politician.

He picked up a pen and began to write a memorial. He decided to give up this glory and wealth as a bargaining chip in exchange for his own life and peace in his later years.

I won't do it, I won't do it, this kind of thing is not something I, Shen, can do all the time, Your Majesty, if you want me to get rid of Shen carp, it doesn't matter, I have plenty of ways, but what you want me to get rid of is Shen The interest group represented by Li, I don't have the guts to do so, and I spare my life.

After more than an hour and thousands of words, Shen Yitong finished his resignation report.

I can't stay here any longer, the emperor can't hold back his anger anymore, if he stays here again, he is very likely to be involved in a terrible political vortex, because no one will stand still and wait to die.

Although power is lovely, life is fundamental.

Then... I will...

"Report!!! Urgent military situation! Northern captives broke through Taiyuan, and Taiyuan fell! Governor Wang Shiyang asked himself to be dismissed!!"

When Shen Yiguan had just stepped out of his room, a piece of sudden news suddenly broke his already silent state of mind.
