Chapter five hundred and thirty sixth I want him to retreat
Wanli had to be furious. Li Sancai stole the wood from the Shou Palace, which undoubtedly caused ground to be touched by the emperor.
He was already cowardly in his life. His ministers all rode on his head and pointed at his nose and scolded him. He endured it.
In order to seek peace, he hid in the palace all year round, without seeing or listening, and without being upset.
No matter how I thought about it, I still covered my ears and stolen the bell. It is pure, but who would have thought that the place behind me would not be stable!
"If it weren't for Tian Ergeng, I just asked him Grand Master Li to keep it in my bones. Will Grand Master Li deserve me?" Wanli threw the pen holder in anger. He felt that he was deceived, played with, and was seen as a fool.
Because not long ago, he had just let go of Li Sancai to enter the cabinet. He wanted to rely on the other party as an important official, but the important official treated him like this, and he was useless to swallow his anger and could not swallow his breath.
"I passed my order to Dongchang and Jinyiwei, go to Tongzhou immediately and capture him, Li Sancai, for me! Issuing an edict and a prison sentence!..."
Wanli was furious and scared Concubine Zheng's face to the point of being pale.
The couple has been fighting for the foundation of the country for many years, but they have never seen her husband be so excited.
"Have your majesty calm down!"
The imperial concubine was afraid that her husband would be angry, so she quickly stepped forward to comfort her. She was also surprised. Then Li Sancai was an important official, so how could she dare to steal the trees from the imperial tomb?
Zhang Cheng also advised him. When he got the Nanzhen note handed over to the inscription room, he knew that things would be broken. Although the emperor would be furious, the Donglin Party would also have a big disaster and he would have big trouble.
The outside parties fought for the matter of Li Sancai's entry into the pavilion for more than half a year, until the grandfather Sun appointed the seal to make the emperor relieved. Seeing that the dust was settled, Tian Ergeng, Nanzhen, made such a statement. If the matter was true, with the emperor's emphasis on the Shou Palace, Li Sancai's entry into the pavilion would have been blocked, and there would even be a prison disaster.
Therefore, Zhang Cheng also had a fierce struggle in his heart whether to submit the post to the emperor truthfully. He believed that if the person who was on the rotation of Eunuch Sun today, the post would definitely not be able to be in the hands of the emperor. If it was Eunuch Jin, the other way around.
It is no secret in the palace that Eunuch Sun has a relationship with the Donglin Party, while Eunuch Jin has a relationship with the five parties. And Zhang Cheng has nothing to do with both parties, so his decision is very important. No matter what decision he makes, he will be dragged into the mixed waters of the two parties' struggles.
After getting along, Donglin regarded him as a foul.
If he does not make friends, the five parties will also regard him as a traitor.
In a dilemma, Zhang Cheng finally made a decision. The opening was in his hands and he was on duty today. No matter how heavy the opening was, as the emperor's slave, loyalty is the most important.
He chose to present.
As for the consequences, he doesn't care about it, and there is nothing to be afraid of.
The key is to gain a foothold in this palace.
"Can I swallow my breath?! He, Grandpa Li, is too bullying! Do you think he will not let me die?..." Wanli became more and more unwilling to accept it as he thought about it, and he was extremely angry and sneered.
"Mr. Li is a good man! ... He asked me to stop the mining tax, and he wrote three comments, saying that the self-mining tax is booming, and the people are unemployed, and the plundering orders are as dense as a cow. Today, a certain mine has a lot of silver, and tomorrow a certain official will add a lot of silver, and the upper and lower officials will compete for profit. I feel embarrassed to say that it is really competing for profit with the people and harming the people. So I don't care about him, even if he says the root is in me, it is me greedy for money, as long as I lose this greed, the world will be fine."
Wanli's voice sounded very sad. He was said to be greedy and competing for profit with the people. Can you feel good?
The imperial concubine gently stroked her husband's back and comforted her: "That is the emperor who is generous, the lord and wise, and has a broad mind."
"I'm not broad-minded!"
Wanli's forehead bulged with blue veins and he clenched his fists, "It's not that I don't care about him, but that I can't cure them!... I don't answer him, and he wrote a memorial again. This time I became more and more serious, saying that if I don't listen to him, the country and the country will be corrupt. I will be betray my relatives and leave my relatives, and my people will become my enemies. Even if I have a box of gold and a house full of famous pearls, no one will guard it for me."
"Strange words, those who steal the world and deceive their reputation, what is your Majesty and he have to say?" Concubine Zheng sneered.
"I didn't tell him, but he wanted to tell me... and again, Li Sancai would not give up until he achieved his goal." Wanli turned around and looked at Zhang Cheng with hatred, "Tell the concubine, what did Li Sancai's third stop mining tax write from Chen Shu!"
"Emperor...I..." Zhang Cheng hesitated and did not know whether to say it or not.
Wanli pointed at him angrily and cursed: "You old slave, I will tell you!... Let me tell you to the imperial concubine, so that the imperial concubine can recognize this person's face."
Zhang Chengyi was frightened and said quickly: "Li Sancai said in the third memorial that the emperor must listen to them, otherwise he would not be worthy of being the emperor."
"Yes, why are you saying that? Oh, yes, the people are the lord of the king!" Wanli laughed, smiling very coldly, "He, Grand Master Li, is threatening me!"
"There are many followers of this generation, and you have to be careful when you wave the flag and shout." The imperial concubine didn't want to interfere in politics, but she thought that she was scolded by those people in Donglin over the years and couldn't help but interrupt.
After saying that, he thought a little and said, "Your Majesty, I heard that Li San is capable and can help the world, but may not be able to be able to be good at it alone. He can be able to be greedy, and he will be able to keep upright." After the words came, he looked at Zhang Cheng, "Eunuch Zhang thought what I said was right?"
"this…"
Zhang Cheng pondered slightly, and the imperial concubine asked him for no reason, but he couldn't stand the scheming of the empress.
When he looked up, he saw that the emperor was also staring at him, and he couldn't help but grit his teeth and said, "I think that Li Sancai is good at making up a genius. If others do more and say less, he will say even if he doesn't do it. And he will say it very much. Just this point will not be an important official."
"right!"
Zhang Cheng's words made Wanli feel very similar, "This kind of person is like a traitor, a big cheat, and a big fraud is like a straightforward... There are all such people in the Donglin Party, so is that Gu Xiancheng the same. Don't think that I don't know anything in the palace all day long, I have a clear mind! ... Wherever Gu Xiancheng teaches, there are many servants, and the county magistrate's house offers billions of dollars, and it is not allowed to do two hundred gold coins.
Humph, is he giving lectures, or showing off his pomp and showing off his might, and letting people call him respectful and sect... A commoner, the court will sway, and I will tolerate them, but they will not tolerate me!"
Concubine Zheng seemed to have just remembered it and said, "Your Majesty, I remember what you said. Guotai came back from Jiangnan and told me that Gu Xiancheng often satirized the government affairs and judged people. He was not a good person... By the way, Guotai also said something, and I was so angry when I heard it."
"What's up?"
"Caotai said that Gu Xiancheng and Li Sancai had a good relationship. Li Sancai often feasted on Xiancheng, stopping the three or four colors of vegetables, delicacies on the mountain, Shanghai flavor, monkey brain, bear paws, and squandering."
“There is a general idea…”
Wanli's body moved slightly, and then a ray of light shot on Zhang Cheng's face, and he said coldly: "Give him a prison, I want to see where he is."
However, Zhang Cheng did not dare to obey the order and knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, you must not!"
"Why not?"
Wanli was so angry that the imperial concubine was also unhappy.
"The emperor, Li Sancai is an important minister, and he is also the leader of the Donglin. If the factory guards move, they are afraid of the turmoil of the outside dynasty. Furthermore, if Li Sancai steals the imperial tombs, the report of Tian Ergeng in Nanzhen is still to investigate whether it is true. If the matter is true, it must be held accountable. If it is not true, it will inevitably lead to the trouble." Zhang Cheng did not dare to make the matter too much, so he suggested that the emperor appoint the Censorate to investigate the matter.
Wanli knew what Zhang Cheng said about the shock of the foreign court. He woke up and knew that it would be impossible to directly take Li Sancai into the imperial prison. If it was not done well, the foreign court would probably be paralyzed.
He sat down with a little depressed feeling, calmed down his anger a little, and finally waved his hand to Zhang Cheng: "You go to the cabinet to tell your Fuqing Master, what I mean, check him, Li Sancai. Please tell me a message to Fuqing Master, otherwise, I can only investigate myself."
"Old slave obeys the order!"
Zhang Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, this was the best.
When Zhang Cheng went to the cabinet to pass an order, the imperial concubine couldn't figure it out and said to her husband: "My grandson of Fuqing and Li Sancai were in the same party. If he asked him to send someone to investigate, what would happen?"
"I know." Wanli smiled bitterly.
The imperial concubine was confused: "Since Your Majesty knows, why did you make such arrangements?"
"I want him, Li Sancai, to retreat when he realizes the difficulties."
Wanli shook his head. In fact, he didn't mind the investigation results at all.
