Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 565 Xu Yuanyu, will become a great weapon!

The silver moon hangs high in the sky, and the palace of Qianqing is as warm as spring.

Shu Liang stepped on the snow, walked quickly to the gate of the palace, then stood in the outer hall for a while, to let go of the cold, and then sent the little servant inside to report.

With the return of the Supreme Emperor, the Empress Empress also gave birth to a little princess, and Shu Liang had no job in the harem.

Therefore, the emperor made a decree, and this big peng returned to Dongchang in a low-key manner, and regained the position of governor.

Naturally, the DPRK and China also criticized this matter, but under the mediation of the senior officials in the cabinet, there was no disturbance in the end.

Of course, the biggest reason for this is because Shu Liang pulled Liu Yongcheng out to block the gun at the court meeting.

Although it is absurd to say that the guarding eunuch 'hijacked' the Supreme Emperor, compared to the claim that the Supreme Emperor privately ordered to dispatch the guarding eunuch with heavy troops, the elders are obviously more accepting of the former.

The more absurd the explanation for the court affairs, the more absurd the explanation, it can only show that the things involved behind the scenes should not be mentioned.

Therefore, without detailed charges, Shu Liang avoided the limelight for a while in the harem, and even if he made a low-key comeback, the courtiers could only turn a blind eye.

"Eunuch Shu, Your Majesty has summoned you."

No matter what time it is, as long as he is in front of the imperial court, Shu Liang will always be considerate and respectful.

After receiving the summons, Shu Liang straightened his clothes and walked forward.

From the moment he stepped into the gate of the palace, he bowed his head deeply, bowed his body slightly, walked quickly but silently into the palace, bowed his head and kowtowed.

"Slaves send greetings to the emperor."

Zhu Qiyu put down the memorial in his hand, raised his head and said casually.

"Get up, come here so late, what's the matter?"

Shu Liang stood up respectfully, then raised his head to look around the hall, and found that besides Wynn, there was another person in the hall, Cheng Jing.

You know, as the eunuch who is the supervisor of ceremonies and seals, especially when Shu Liang, the eunuch holding the pen, is still in name, this Eunuch Cheng is very busy, and he has not been with the emperor on a daily basis for a long time.

Unexpectedly, this time, at such a late hour, he is still in the Qianqing Palace. Could it be that he has some important government affairs?

Thoughts turned in his mind, but Shu Liang didn't ask any more questions. The greatest advantage of him is knowing how to measure. The emperor should let him know, so he will naturally say it.

Taking a few steps forward, Shu Liang said with a smile on his face.

"Return to the emperor, the person I mentioned to you last time, the news just came that the matter has been completed, and Li Shilang promised to introduce him before leaving Beijing."

What he said was vague, but it was also Shu Liang's cautious performance.

Although he and Cheng Jing belonged to the emperor's confidant Da Dang, just like he would not intervene in the government affairs of the Supervisor of Rites, he would never tell Cheng Jing about the East Factory.

This is not a question of trust or not, but a duty that should be kept as a servant of the emperor.

Don't inquire about what should not be inquired about. Similarly, you should never talk about what should not be said indiscriminately. Except for the emperor, it is the same to everyone!
It should be said that there are many eunuchs in the harem, but the biggest reason why Shu Liang was able to come from behind and surpass Xing'an, Zhang Yong, Wang Cheng and others to become the second only to Cheng Jing was that he could keep his duty .

Zhu Qiyu has always been very satisfied with Shu Liang's carefulness, but when he thinks of the person Shu Liang mentioned, he still can't help feeling a little disgusted.

As for the mastermind who participated in the change of seizing the door in the previous life, Zhu Qiyu has actually dealt with most of them one after another.

Shi Heng, Zhang Fu, Cao Jixiang, and Wang Ji, who is still in prison, either died in battle, were convicted, or were killed.

When it was time to be ruthless, Zhu Qiyu never hesitated.

It is true that they have not done anything in this life, but as generals, it is enough to have the heart of disobedience and the courage to do something.

It doesn't matter whether you do it or not, the important thing is that if you have this thought and courage, you should die!

However, for Xu Youzhen, Zhu Qiyu was not too anxious to move him.

There is no other reason, but because he is a civil servant with no power to restrain a chicken.

There are thousands of strategies, and it is difficult to be a pawn.

Xu Youzhen was different from those generals, even if he had delusions, he couldn't go to battle in person, and after more than a year, the court was so busy, Zhu Qiyu never had time to spare, so he never had time to deal with him.

Simply, they left him in the Hanlin Academy to fend for themselves by means of the original 'suggestion of moving to the south'. Of course, ordering Shu Liang to monitor him closely was indispensable.

However, Zhu Qiyu left him alone, he couldn't stand this Mr. Xu being too aggressive and trying to find a way around.

First, he went to ask Chen Xun, hoping to accumulate credit for himself through the construction of the canal by the Ministry of Industry, and apply for an official position. In the end, the canal was built.

However, he is not the host after all, he is an assistant, the credit can be great or small, how to reward it depends on the emperor's will.

So, a little money, gold and silver were rewarded, and he was sent away.

Regarding this matter, Xu Youzhen once asked Chen Xun, but this Chen Shangshu was helpless.

He had already taken a great risk to bring Xu Youzhen to participate in the construction of the canal. Now that he has returned to Beijing, it is even more impossible for him to commit another crime for such a mere imperial servant.

It should be said that in this situation, for most people, they should feel disheartened and rest in the Imperial Academy with their copybooks as companions.

However, this Mr. Xu is a person who is unwilling to be ordinary, and what he is thinking about is to make a difference in his official career.

So, he went around looking for people to clear it up, and wanted to let it out.

However, there is Wang Wen in the Ministry of Officials, no matter how hard the relationship he seeks, he will be directly stuck to death when he comes to this Heavenly Official.

Wang Wen did not know the specific situation of Xu Youzhen, but as long as he knew that this person had mentioned moving south, the emperor had a bad impression of him and obviously did not intend to use him, that was enough.

In the end, Xu Youzhen tragically discovered a fact, that is, if the emperor's impression of him cannot be changed, then no matter how hard he struggles, it is impossible for him to escape from the current quagmire.

Mr. Xu is not a gentleman of Taoism, on the contrary, he is good at making money, as long as he can achieve his goal, he doesn't care what means he uses.

At this moment, all kinds of incidents related to the Supreme Emperor began to occur in the court.

So Master Xu keenly sensed the opportunity.

Nowadays, most of the emperor is surrounded by ministers, direct ministers, and admonishing ministers, such as Yu Qian, Wang Wen, and Chen Yi. Although these people are close to the emperor, and some are even trusted as confidantes, they all have one characteristic in common. It is to have your own persistence and principles.

In many court affairs, they will make compromises and protect the interests of the emperor, but in some matters, they cannot deceive their own hearts.

In terms of government, there is no doubt that the emperor is sage and wise, and he can always put the country first, so the monarch and his ministers win each other, and even if there are disputes, they can eventually calm down and compromise with each other.

However, in the matter of the Supreme Emperor, there are some things that are difficult to solve.

Or in other words, when it comes to the issue of the Supreme Emperor, the interests of the emperor and the interests of the country are often in conflict.

What really made Xu Youzhen realize this was the impeachment of Shu Liang by the court some time ago!

Don't those Ke Dao Fengxian know that this Eunuch Shu is the emperor's number one lackey?Don't they know that what Shu Liang did was actually ordered by the emperor behind it?
of course not!
However, they still want to make trouble, and still want to impeach, and, upholding the so-called etiquette and righteousness, no one in the court dares to speak for Shu Liang blatantly.

Even the people in the cabinet can only try their best to mediate, trying to make the matter smaller, but no one dares to defend Shu Liang directly.

Although in the end, Shu Liang was safe and sound, he just quit his job in the East Factory and retreated to the harem.

However, in Xu Youzhen's view, this is undoubtedly an opportunity.

Around the emperor, apart from eunuchs like Shu Liang, among the courtiers, there was not a single lackey who really pointed and beat him!
Wang Wen, the heavenly official of the Ministry of Officials, seemed to follow the steps of the emperor, but he still didn't say a word on this kind of matter.

Because he can't go against his own heart, even if he knows that the emperor is behind Shu Liang, he can't defend Shu Liang regardless of right and wrong.

It goes against what he's learned over the years, and he can't do it.

However, Xu Youzhen can!

Although it is said that he also read the books of sages and sages and was born in the imperial examination, in fact, Xu Youzhen's mind was not on learning. The reason why he tried his best to study the scriptures was just to use them as a tool to enter the official career.

He even didn't care about the so-called posthumous fame that most scholars pursue.

For him, the development of his official career is the most important thing. One day when he can occupy a high position, it will naturally make people forget everything he has done.

So, he felt that he had found an opportunity.

The Son of Heaven needs a minister who can unconditionally protect the interests of the Son of Heaven. He needs a minister who, at any time, dares to risk being poked in the back by the ministers, and still says without changing his expression, "Eunuch Shu's actions are reasonable and legal, and there is nothing wrong with it." people.

So Xu Youzhen approached Shu Liang.

Again, Mr. Xu is a pragmatist, he is willing to make friends with people who are beneficial to his official career, and he is willing to do anything that is beneficial to his official career.

For Mr. Xu, there is no psychological pressure at all to make friends with eunuchs.

The only reason why he didn't take this path before was, of course...

It didn't work out!
Xu Youzhen had tried to take the eunuch route long after she was sidelined for proposing to move to the south, but at that time he was looking for the most popular Da Dang, Cheng Jingcheng's father-in-law.

As a result, of course, it was a mess.

When he arrived at Cheng Gonggong's mansion, he didn't even enter the door, but was blocked back by the sentence 'inner eunuchs are not allowed to make friends with courtiers in private'.

Later, after Shu Liang rose to prominence, he immediately moved his mansion to Dongcheng, just two streets away from Shu Liang's mansion.

But it's a pity that this Eunuch Shu's smiling face every day made Xu Youzhen hesitate again and again, not daring to act rashly.

Until this court meeting, when Shu Liang was dismissed as the admiral of the East Factory, Xu Youzhen saw clearly the real situation in the court, so she finally made a decision and boarded the gate of Shu Mansion.

It should be said that this trip to the Shu Mansion made Xu Youzhen feel like she was sitting on pins and needles.

From the beginning to the end, this Eunuch Shu was very enthusiastic towards him, but he always had the urge to turn around and leave for no other reason. public time.

He had an inexplicable feeling, as if he didn't have the slightest secret in him, and all his thoughts, whether visible or shady, were like snow exposed to the sun in front of the former.

This feeling was very uncomfortable. Xu Youzhen didn't know why it happened, but his intuition told him so.

Because of this, Xu Youzhen suppressed the uneasiness in her heart, and managed to maintain the superficial enjoyment of the guests and hosts.

In the end, of course, immediate results are impossible.

Because what Xu Youzhen really wanted to find was the person behind Shu Liang, so waiting was a must.

And Shu Liang did not live up to his expectations, and immediately entered the palace to report Xu Youzhen's performance to the emperor in every detail. A detailed record for a row.

After Zhu Qiyu finished reading it, he was quite surprised.

Xu Youzhen's performance reminded him of someone.

Zhang Cong of the Jiajing Dynasty.

Those who dare to sing against everyone in the imperial court, or even speak nonsense with their eyes open, and who can speak clearly and without guilt, will become great weapons.

Zhang Cong is like this, Xu Youzhen... also has this potential.

This road is a typical gamble on fame after death in exchange for glory and wealth in life.

Zhu Qiyu thought about it seriously and had to admit it.

Xu Youzhen, a speculator, quickly grasped the path that was most beneficial to her after shedding her initial innocence.

For this reason, Zhu Qiyu, for the first time, put aside his personal grievances, and looked at Xu Youzhen objectively.

In terms of talent and learning, he has it, in terms of ability, he also has it, and in terms of courage, he also has it.

Apart from being obsessed with official career and doing whatever it takes to achieve prosperity and wealth, this person has almost no shortcomings.

However, his shortcoming is a shortcoming among civil servants and scholars, but it is undoubtedly a great advantage in front of the emperor.

Which emperor doesn't like his own lackeys who can pounce on and bite them with a few fingers?

So, he was indeed a little moved.

However, in the end, he still felt that it was cheaper for Xu Youzhen to do so.

Zhu Qiyu is not a saint.

Xu Youzhen is no better than Shi Heng and others in leading the army, and he is a direct threat to him, so there is no need to rush to deal with him, but it is impossible to let him go so lightly.

However, Mr. Xu has come to this point, it can be said that he is at the end of the mountain, if Zhu Qiyu still pushes him out, then he is really going to force him to take the most dangerous path.

If that's the case, it's better to just clean him up.

Therefore, out of cherishing talents, the benevolent emperor decided to give Mr. Xu a chance.

So, there is today's scene.

In Li Xian's mansion, it is impossible to say that Xu Youzhen was not persuaded, after all, Li Xian almost punctured all the window paper.

However, what Li Xian didn't know was that his brother Xu Xian had no way out before he found him...
