That night, Zhu Yicheng didn't sleep well all night, and tossed and turned and felt anger in his heart.

But no matter what, Zhu Yicheng finally decided to stay in Shi Yizhi's memorial, but since things were not a solution, and now his dissatisfaction with Shi Yizhi has almost reached its peak.

If it is simple or simple to deal with this matter, it is just to directly agree to Shi Yizhi. But what about Zhu Yicheng's face? An emperor and a saint of the Ming Dynasty actually chose the Chief Military Affairs Minister by mistake. If this matter is spread, people in the world will not be ridiculed?

Furthermore, if you do this, it will also set a bad start for the court. Once there is a precedent in this kind of thing, it is difficult to guarantee that other ministers will not follow suit. If you do it, you will resign directly? What will this court become? More importantly, Zhu Yicheng can see clearly that Shi Yizhi only gave such a thing, in addition to his inappropriate military aircraft, there are also reasons for internal conflicts between the Military Affairs Office.

Fights between ministers are inevitable in all dynasties. If all ministers are harmonious or united, then the one who is afraid of them will be Zhu Yicheng himself.

To put it bluntly, the technique of balance is the technique of balance. The emperor is the middle point of mastering balance. Once this side is high, the emperor will support the lower side and maintain balance. In this way, as the emperor, he can take advantage of the power to grasp the supreme imperial power.

Therefore, all capable emperors are good at balancing. Zhu Yicheng has long understood this after being an emperor for so many years.

Under such circumstances, once Shi Yizhi was dismissed, the Military Affairs Office lost its balance, which was not a good thing for imperial power.

After thinking about it, Zhu Yicheng finally endured this and decided to temporarily keep Shi Yizhi. Anyway, his term of office is only the last year and a half, so it will not be too late to find him to settle the accounts after this year and a half.

"My memory, Liao Huanzhi pays homage to the emperor..."

Liao Huanzhi had not entered the palace for many days. Since he withdrew from the Military Affairs Office, Liao Huanzhi faded out of the court as Duke of Song and Grand Tutor and lived a leisurely retirement life.

It can be seen that Liao Huanzhi has lived a good life in the past six months, and he is radiant and has even gained a little weight.

"Liao Qing is not someone else, so there is no need to be so polite. Come and sit down." Zhu Yicheng smiled happily, and looked at Liao Huanzhi and said, "Some days I haven't seen Liao Qing, and I look much better than before."

Liao Huanzhi smiled and said, "This is all the kindness of the emperor. After leaving the court, the old minister was having fun with his grandchildren at home, and he was much more leisurely."

Zhu Yicheng waved his hand: "It's good to have fun with grandchildren, but Liao Qing is still an important member of the country. Although he withdrew from the Military Affairs Office, he has to pay attention to this government affairs on weekdays. Although he is not in the Military Affairs Office, he is still my counselor after all."

Liao Huanzhi raised his slightly lowered eyebrows and immediately said yes, while thinking about what Zhu Yicheng said.

Although Zhu Yicheng was right, Liao Huanzhi was no longer the chief military aircraft, he was still the emperor's counselor. But this counselor was not considered a real official position. To put it bluntly, it was a special position set up by Zhu Yicheng for Liao Huanzhi who had retired, which was a consultant in later generations.

Liao Huanzhi, who had retired, was extremely tactful. Since the day he left the Military Affairs Office, he had never asked about any government affairs. Even his former subordinates visited him, Liao Huanzhi avoided talking about government affairs.

In Liao Huanzhi's view, with his identity and status, he has long been in office and ministers. Although Zhu Yicheng is not Zhu Yuanzhang and Liao Huanzhi is not Li Shanchang, no matter what, some of the handles cannot be caught. This is his way of dealing with people and the best way to end up well.

So no counselor can be taken seriously by any counselor. Liao Huanzhi is very clear-headed, and he does this too. Since he retreats, he will retreat thoroughly and never get involved in any political affairs again.

But today Zhu Yicheng suddenly mentioned this, which made Liao Huanzhi feel a little alert. He thought carefully about whether he or his family had done something inappropriate these days? If so, he must confess to the emperor immediately in order to get the emperor's forgiveness.

But after thinking about it, Liao Huanzhi didn't remember anything wrong. Under the trepidation, Zhu Yicheng no longer mentioned the counselor's matter. Instead, he talked to Liao Huanzhi about his daily life after retirement. Liao Huanzhi answered a lot and talked about his current life in the mansion. In addition to playing with his grandchildren, he just read more books, practiced calligraphy, and all kinds of flowers on weekdays.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yicheng seemed very interested and couldn't help asking a few more questions. Liao Huanzhi was also tactful and chose some interesting things in his daily life and said it.

The two of them had been chatting like this for half an hour. In the end, Zhu Yicheng couldn't help but sigh that Liao Huanzhi was still living a comfortable life now. He didn't seem to be arrogant like the emperor, but in fact he was busy every day and couldn't be idle at all. It was not easy to be an emperor.

How did Liao Huanzhi answer these words? He could only smile awkwardly and said by the way that the emperor had great ambitions and cared for the world. How could he be a polite word like a minister who could compare to him?

At this moment, Liao Huanzhi was even more confused. He was basically sure that Zhu Yicheng had something to do with him, but after talking for so long, he had not said what was going on. However, Liao Huanzhi was not easy to ask directly, and he had no choice but to follow the trivial matters that Zhu Yicheng said, and at the same time, he was indirectly striking without any trace.

As expected, when Zhu Yicheng was moved, he mentioned the days when Liao Huanzhi was the chief military minister and said something that Liao Qing was worried about when he was doing military affairs.

When this sentence was said, Liao Huanzhi finally understood that there was some conflict within the Military Affairs Office, which made Zhu Yicheng find him, an idle person.

Liao Huanzhi was an extremely smart person. Zhu Yicheng saw that he had an enlightened expression, so he immediately clicked and mentioned Shi Yizhi in a very calm and seemingly indifferent tone. When he heard this, Liao Huanzhi completely understood the causes and consequences, and suddenly realized it in his heart.

"After I left the Military Affairs Office, although I lived a leisurely life, sometimes this person is also a shameful person."

"Oh, how do you say this?" Zhu Yicheng asked interested.

Liao Huanzhi smiled embarrassedly: "I'm not hiding it from the emperor. This person always hopes to rest when he is busy on weekdays, but once this person rests again, he feels that being busy before is not a bad thing. What do you think is this not a cheap person?"

"Hahaha, Liao Qing's metaphor is amazing, but it makes sense to think about it carefully." Zhu Yicheng laughed immediately after hearing this.

Liao Huanzhi smiled and said, "But I have already retired, and these are just thinking about it when I am bored."

"It's okay, Liao Qing's words are true. Being able to say this to me proves that Liao Qing is open-minded and I know that it's easy."

Zhu Yicheng comforted him and then said, "Actually, Liao Qing is really bored, so he can go to the Military Affairs Office for a walk. After all, Liao Qing is an old minister of the Military Affairs Office, and now he is my counselor, so it is natural to help me see it."

"This... is inappropriate." Liao Huanzhi shook his head and said, "The Military Affairs Department is a key military affairs area. Since I have left, I will not be able to go again."

"What did you say? Others may be like this, but Liao Qing takes it for granted. Besides, this is what I asked you to go. It's still early today, so why should Liao Qing go to the Military Affairs Office for me? First, he made up his wish, and second, he also helped me do something. Third, he would like to give advice to the juniors of the Military Affairs Office, how about it?"

Liao Huanzhi knew in his heart that the most critical thing in Zhu Yicheng's words was actually the last sentence, which is the so-called guidance to the juniors of the Military Affairs Office.

Immediately, Liao Huanzhi showed a look of embarrassment on his face. After hesitating for a long time, he told Zhu Yicheng that this was just an exception and would not be an example. He also thanked Zhu Yicheng.

Then, in Zhu Yicheng's satisfied expression, Liao Huanzhi stood up and left. Before he left, Zhu Yicheng specially called Xiao Jiangzi and asked Xiao Jiangzi to take Liao Huanzhi to the Military Affairs Office for a walk, saying that it was the emperor's intention.

In this way, after leaving the side hall, Xiao Jiangzi accompanied Liao Huanzhi towards the direction of the Military Affairs Office, and soon arrived at the Military Affairs Office.

Liao Huanzhi suddenly came to the Military Affairs Office, which surprised the military officials of the Military Affairs Office. You should know that Liao Huanzhi is the leader of civil officials and the former chief military officer.

Although Liao Huanzhi has now withdrawn from the military plane and is basically retired, after all, Liao Huanzhi is the Duke of Song, the first among the founding dukes, and has also been awarded the title of Grand Tutor. In terms of his status, he can be said to be less than one person and more than ten thousand people.

Now, Xiao Jiangzi, who was beside the emperor, suddenly came to the Military Affairs Office with Liao Huanzhi. Everyone was surprised, and at the same time they were thinking about Liao Huan's intentions before.

However, after arriving at the Military Affairs Office, Liao Huanzhi seemed very kind and said that he was summoned by the emperor today. When talking about the matter, he talked about the military affairs office. The emperor's kindness was remembered that Liao Huanzhi had been in the Military Affairs Office for many years and issued a special order to let him revisit his hometown and meet his old colleagues.

Hearing this, many people suddenly realized. But some of them were somewhat suspicious of Liao Huan's purpose before. One of them was naturally Shi Yizhi, the current chief military minister, and the other was Liao Huanzhi's friend Jiang Jin.

However, after Liao Huanzhi arrived at the Military Affairs Office, he was indeed like a revisiting place. He did not ask about the current political affairs, nor did he inquire about other affairs of the Military Affairs Office. He just met you and said some ordinary family matters, with encouragement and expectations for everyone.

To put it bluntly, Liao Huanzhi is about the same as the retired cadres of later generations who come to see the comrades in power, and he does not mean to intervene in the Military Affairs Office.

However, when Liao Huanzhi and Shi Yizhi sat alone and spoke, Liao Huanzhi said a few words without a trace. Because they said this sentence lightly, others were far away from each other, but Shi Yizhi's expression seemed extremely ugly on the spot, but soon his expression calmed down, and he nodded slightly and never said anything again.

In the Military Affairs Office, Liao Huanzhi didn't stay for a long time, and he had only been away for less than an hour. Then, he said that he was old and his spirit was not as good as before, so he stood up and said goodbye.

Everyone sent Liao Huanzhi out of the Military Affairs Office. When Liao Huanzhi bowed to Jiang Jin, he said in a voice that they could only hear, "too much is not enough", then smiled faintly and turned away.
