Shi Xing is very busy.

The emperor issued an edict to ask Lin Yanchao and Song Yingchang to return to Beijing to be impeached, so he must recommend the Japanese governor and replace him.

Therefore, in order to promote Gu Yangqian and Sun Mong and the others to go up, Shi Xing had to make some plans to ensure that the court's agreement could pass the two.

Therefore, after Xinmin Newspaper was published for a long time, he had just met several important people.

After Shi Xing met an extremely important official, he left the mansion and returned to his house.

Shi Xing's sedan chair slowly walked on the road of Chess and Pan Street.

He closed his eyes and rested in the sedan chair. He finally won a great victory in this battle between him and the governor Lin Yanchao against North Korea.

After all, he has a greater say in the Minister of War than the Minister of Rites, and the emperor and Wang Xijue trust and value him more. How could Shi Xing not defeat him?

But he had no intention of being proud.

In his words, Sima and Lin Dazongbo have no disagreements in public, but I admire Dazongbo in private.

Such words came out, and all the civil and military officials in the court praised Shi Xing as public and private, and clearly distinguishing between public and private, and being a true gentleman.

It has attracted the reputation of the whole court, but it is not Shi Xing's original wish. Even if Shi Xing praises this, it is a surprise.

However, Shi Xing did not expect that he would receive such praise because all the officials were afraid of his power. After this incident, no official in the court knew that Shi Xing had the emperor and the cabinet was highly valued. Now even Lin Yanchao and Song Yingchang were defeated by him. So the officials went up to the mountains and sang songs, and changing according to the wind was due to human nature.

In fact, many officials disagree with Shi Xing's methods of dealing with Lin Yanchao this time. Although Wang Xijue, the one who asked Lin Yanchao to come out at the beginning, was clearly what Shi Xing begged Lin Yanchao to do.

Now that the crisis in the Eastern Expedition Army has eased, you, Shi Xing, turn your back on others, this is a taboo in the officialdom. Because Shi Xing, you, has destroyed a set of unspoken rules in the officialdom.

Shi Xing wouldn't think so much, he just enjoyed the feeling of being in his hands.

Just as his sedan chair was moving forward, he found that the sedan chair had slowed down a lot.

Because there are many people on Qipan Street, it is understandable that the sedan chair used to be slower. But Shi Xing did not expect that the sedan chair would be slower and slower.

Shi Xing felt something was different, and he thought he had encountered a sedan chair of a cabinet minister or Otsutoku. He lifted the curtain and looked at the street, but saw countless people standing next to the street.

In the past, when Shi Xing was an official in Beijing, the servants who drove the road in front of the sedan chair scolded him and the people dispersed. Now, after being the Minister of War, there are feather cavalry leading the way in front of him, why don’t the people avoid giving in?

Shi Xing secretly ignored it, so he looked at the people next to the street and felt that the atmosphere was not right.

At this time, he saw a commoner on the street making a lip shape like a "dog official".

Shi Xing didn't know if he was wrong, and at this time he didn't know what was flying towards him.

"Be careful, sir!"

Shi Xing's servant exclaimed just now, but Shi Xing had already avoided it.

A click!

Shi Xing wiped his right face, and his hands were filled with egg liquid... The people on the side also became excited...

Shi Mansion!

The concubine and maid hurriedly presented Shi Xing with hot towels.

Everyone held their breath and calmed down. They were afraid that Shi Xing would get angry and would get angry. If they were angry, what should they do if they were angry.

After Shi Xing wiped his face, he sat there silently without saying a word.

Until the housekeeper presented Shi Xing with a new journal, Shi Xing said after reading it, "You guys retreat first!"

"Yes." The servants were as if they were granted a general amnesty and left quickly.

Only the Shixing left in the room, he then said: "Those who win the hearts of the people will win the world!"

After saying that, he threw Xinmin Daily into the brazier, his eyes were confused.

In the Forbidden City.

The emperor was in Zhang Cheng and Chen Ju was helping him visiting the Imperial Garden.

It was the end of November, and the imperial garden was filled with a scene of solemn flowers.

After leaving less than half of the garden, the emperor was already panting and exhausted.

Zhang Cheng and Chen Ju were busy helping him sit down.

The emperor sat on the leather bench and said, "The more I go around this garden, I feel less interested. Then I remember that the year is about to end. The winter is coming and spring is coming, and ancient times cannot be changed! I am old, and you are old too."

Zhang Cheng smiled and said, "The Emperor is in full swing in spring and autumn, how can he speak of old age? Even the old minister wants to follow His Majesty to serve him for another hundred years. I am afraid that His Majesty will think that the old minister is dizzy and cannot bear to use it."

The emperor smiled and said, "Time flies, and next year will be the twenty-two years for me to ascend the throne. I think of the days when I win the treasure at the age of ten, it seems that I am still in front of me. Zhang Juzheng, Feng Bao and Zhang Hong are no longer there, and the two empress dowagers are also old, and I, the emperor, are... really tired."

Speaking of this, the emperor suddenly asked, "Panpa Zhang, Panpa Chen, are you talking about the greater will of heaven? Or is the greater public opinion?"

Zhang Cheng and Chen Ju looked at each other and felt that this was really hard to answer.

"I forgive you for being innocent, just say it out loud!"

Zhang Cheng said: "Report to Your Majesty, God's will is the will of the people, and the will of the people is the will of the people of the world. Therefore, God's will is the will of the people."

"I want to hear it from the bottom of my heart, what about you, Mr. Chen?"

Chen Ju thought for a while and said, "The old minister thought that the will of heaven is different from the will of the people. The will of heaven is the way of heaven, and the will of the people is the heart of the people. The way of heaven is ruthless, but the heart of man has feelings. Therefore, Zhu Zi has words, although he is wise, he cannot be without the heart of man, so even though he is stupid, he cannot be without the heart of the people. Therefore, the sages ruled in the first place to understand the heart of the people!"

When the emperor heard this, he sighed: "It's still my words that I have won my heart! Yes, are you still filial to the elder brother these days?"

Zhang Cheng and Chen Ju both bowed and replied: "The eldest son of the emperor wishes His Majesty at Ciqing Palace every day, the Queen Mother of the Holy Mother, and respects the lecturers when studying!"

The emperor was silent for a long time after hearing this, and finally said, "I hope one day, Brother Chang will understand my painstaking efforts! I will continue to pass the imperial edict and prepare for the emperor's eldest son Mingchun's study! "

"Yes!" Zhang Cheng and Chen Ju agreed together.

They were very determined in their hearts, and the things that had not been decided for many years were finally decided.

But it can also be seen that the emperor is still suspicious. If the eldest son enters Ciqing Palace and makes a little disrespectful word to the emperor, he may have to break his promise to all officials if he goes out of the cabinet and study next year.

After 10% of the reading ceremony after leaving the house, the eldest son of the emperor was the prince who was accused of by all the civil and military officials of the court.

During the process of the emperor giving up power to the eldest son, although he took every step very slowly and sometimes repeated, it has to be said that in this process, he always held the rhythm in his own hands.

As for the fact that many officials were dismissed for supporting the eldest son of the emperor, many of them were even loyal ministers of the court, but it was nothing for the emperor. In the future, the eldest son of the emperor ascended the throne, as long as a decree, these officials could be activated and they were even more loyal to the eldest son.

This method can be referred to the Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty demoted Li Ji. This kind of emperor's mind has been used since ancient times and the present.

When Zhang Cheng and Chen Ju exited from the palace, the two walked and chatted.

"Your Majesty, just now, why didn't you ask about the official Lin Hou, but instead mentioned the enthronement of the emperor's eldest son? Does Mr. Chen know?"

"Zengzhu Lao asked, maybe the emperor saw from Xinmin News that Mr. Lin won the hearts of the people! He returned to the court immediately not only without any mistakes but also had a merit. At that time, he would definitely ask why the eldest son was not enthroned? Instead of doing this, the emperor might as well enthrone the crown prince first. I will just let the sect leader laugh? "

Zhang Cheng nodded with a smile and said, "Maybe that's the case! I remember that the emperor was very pleased and moved at first, but later he calmed down. I have become increasingly unpredictable about what the emperor thinks recently, so if you have any problems in the inner court in the future, please teach me more!"

Chen Ju said: "Meng Sect Master is very important, but then again, although the eldest son of the emperor has gone out of the cabinet and even becomes the crown prince in the future, his lecturers, the master of the sect Master, must let the Dongchang and Jinyiwei watch it carefully. The emperor will definitely ask one day, and you must beat the emperor at this time!"

Zhang Cheng narrowed his eyes and said, "You are right. Once the eldest son of the emperor has clarified the position of the crown prince, then the one who fears the most is not the eldest son himself, but the one surrounding the eldest son. So you want us to stare at them?"

Chen Ju nodded and said, "That's right. When Liu Bang wanted to change the prince, Empress Lu invited the four elders of Shangshan to be the prince's teacher. Even Liu Bang sighed when he saw it. The prince could not touch him with these people."

"So why did the emperor intend to ask Mr. Lin to assist the prince at the beginning, but later he changed his mind. But when Lin Yanchao returned to the court, Sun Chengzong would be worried."

Zhang Cheng said: "That's true, it's really not easy for the Prince's teacher. How can outsiders look at the scenery but the warmth? I know the best in my heart. Shang Yang's reforms, and the Prince Qin opposed it. What if Shang Yang couldn't treat Prince Qin? One of the prince's teachers stabbed the face and the other cut the nose."

"The same is true for the eldest son of the emperor. If there is a conflict with the eldest son of the emperor in the future, it is still the bloodline of the Tian family. The father and son are inseparable from each other. However, these lecturers are difficult, and they are inevitably subject to the prince. If they are beaten, they will lose their lives if they are beaten!"

Chen Ju said: "Sect Master, I admire you when I see things thoroughly!"

Zhang Cheng smiled and said, "Where do you want to give me more advice! Recently, officials from all over the government and the country said that I was good at doing good fortune, and the wind was spread to the emperor for some reason? In fact, after so many years, I have saved up all the money I have saved for ten lifetimes. Now I want to enjoy my old age! If you are interested, tell me, I will give you this position!"

Chen Ju was surprised when he heard this and said, "Sect Master, I have never had any intention of you. These words were definitely not what I said."

Zhang Cheng smiled and said, "Hey, don't be afraid, don't worry [Zerolingshu.com] uneasy, I sincerely say these words to you, without any intention of temptation, but if you don't want to, our family will not force you. The same thing, if you have the will, you can say it to our family at any time."

Chen Ju looked panicked, and sweat oozed out from her forehead.

Seeing the other party's expression, Zhang Cheng nodded and left with his hands behind his back.
