Ming Dynasty: At the beginning, the house was ransacked and the ancestral temple was burned down.

Chapter 60 Mother-in-law and mother-in-law’s emperor!
  Zhu Yijun collapsed more and more. He accused Zhang Juzheng hysterically, just like a rebellious teenager venting his painful youth.

Zheng Mengjing didn't speak. She just patted Zhu Yijun's back gently to comfort her, as if she were soothing a cat that had exploded.

Zheng Mengjing knew very well that Zhu Yijun, the arrogant and arrogant emperor in the eyes of the world, was actually an ordinary person.

Like ordinary people, he has flesh and blood, cries and laughs; has small advantages and big shortcomings; sometimes he is hesitant and indecisive, and sometimes he is passionate and desperate.

In Zheng Mengjing's eyes, Zhu Yijun was just an ordinary person who couldn't be more ordinary, but it happened that this ordinary man was born in such an unattainable position as 'Emperor'.

Everyone is telling this 'ordinary emperor' to become a saint-like monarch.

Including Zhu Yijun himself, he also set a goal of becoming a saint, just like his teacher Zhang Juzheng.

Zhu Yijun wanted to do something big, but he didn't have Zhang Juzheng's ability, let alone Zhang Juzheng's willingness to risk everything.

Zheng Mengjing knew that Zhu Yijun had a heart for becoming a saint, but ordinary people could not become saints.

Zheng Mengjing also knew that Zhu Yijun wanted both "both" and "also", but how could there be such a good thing in the world?

This woman who knew everything ended up saying nothing to Zhu Yijun. Because she knew that comfort and persuasion from outsiders were useless. Only when Zhu Yijun is truly relieved can he be truly useful.

Seeing Zhu Yijun's hysterical appearance, Zheng Mengjing couldn't help but touch his belly, thinking that after the child in his belly was born, he must not be like his father.

She didn't want her son to be an indecisive emperor who was a mother-in-law and a mother-in-law.

……

Wenyuan Pavilion.

"Rumo, why are you still in the mood to fish for trouble! Aren't you afraid that the emperor will be furious after reading the incriminating memorial you intend to send to the Zhang family, and take his anger out on you?"

Xu Guo looked very worried about Shen Shixing, looking sad but not resentful and angry.

However, Shen Shixing squatted beside the small tank that the emperor rewarded him with an indifferent expression, touching the carp inside that the emperor rewarded him.

The fish turned over and over to avoid Shen Shixing's hand. Even though Shen Shixing's touch was very gentle, it was still trying its best to get away.

Facing Yu'er's resistance, Shen Shixing showed no trace of impatience on his face. He was like training a disobedient puppy, slowly getting the other party to compromise until he became obedient.

"Not afraid." Shen Shixing replied calmly to Xu Guo, then smiled back and said:

"By the way, Wei Zhen, didn't you say that Wang Yuanyu was coming back? It's a coincidence. If Yu Bingzhong was still in the cabinet at this moment, then the top three people in the first class of the year when I was selected would all be together. It’s the cabinet, hahahaha.”

The Yu Bingzhong mentioned by Shen Shixing was Yu Youding, a first-class Jinshi who was ranked at the same time as him.

In the imperial examination in the 41st year of Jiajing reign, Yu Youding ranked third in the first class, Wang Xijue ranked second in the first class, and Shen Shixing ranked first in the first class.

Yu Youding actually joined the cabinet as early as last year. Later, because His Majesty the Emperor ordered him to be responsible for the construction of the Longevity Palace, his official position was changed to Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

Although Yu Youding still carries the title of 'Grand Scholar' today, he has actually been 'kicked' out of the cabinet by Emperor Wanli in disguise.

It is worth mentioning that when Zhang Juzheng was seriously ill, he recommended Yu Youding to Emperor Wanli.

It was also the day before Zhang Juzheng's death that the imperial court appointed Yu Youding as Minister of Rites and Bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion. Shen Shixing's words were profound. He inexplicably took the initiative to mention Wang Xijue, and also mentioned Yu Youding.

Xu Guo knew what Shen Shixing meant as soon as he heard this. The other party wanted to bring Yu Youding back to the cabinet to deal with Wang Xijue together!
  Although Xu Guo really wanted someone to come to the cabinet, apart from not wanting Wang Xijue to come, he was also a little dissatisfied with Yu Youding.

After all, everyone knows that Yu Youding, like Shen Shixing, was promoted by Zhang Juzheng.

Once Yu Youding enters the cabinet, he will definitely be attached to Shen Shixing. If Shen Shi leaves, Yu Youding will not only not help Xu Guo, but more likely to squeeze Xu Guo out, and then become the sole leader.

The 'newcomers' in the cabinet that Xu Guo wants are those who are beneficial to him and whose qualifications are not as good as his own, and it is best to be willing to rely on him. Rather than someone like Yu Youding who has higher qualifications than him and is even less willing to rely on him.

After receiving such an unwanted answer, Xu Guodou didn't want to talk to Shen Shixing anymore. However, the other person was his immediate boss, so he could only say a few words: "Hahaha, yes."

Xu Guo's perfunctory words made it clear that he didn't want to accept Shen Shixing's words, but Shen Shixing didn't seem to notice and said directly:

"Weizhen, I have offended the emperor just now, and it is really not suitable for me to continue to appeal. Regarding the matter of letting Yu Bingzhong return to the cabinet, I would like to trouble you to write a recommendation letter to the emperor for me."

Shen Shixing's straight ball could be said to have hit Xu Guo's face directly, catching the opponent off guard.

Xu Guo was stunned. He could hardly believe that a person like Shen Shixing, who liked to beat around the bush and pretend to be generous, could actually come straight! Now, he couldn't refuse even if he wanted to...

When he was in trouble, someone came, the eunuch Zhang Jing.

"The Holy Spirit orally."

Zhang Jing said these four words, which meant that what he said next was relayed by the emperor himself.

After hearing this, Shen Shixing and Xu Guo hurriedly knelt down, listened attentively, and waited for the holy edict.

Zhang Jing said: "I read the memorial and saw that the imperial censor Ding Jilu Shangshu revealed that Gao Qiyu, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, had written a title "Shun also ordered Yu" during the rural examination in Nanzhili. Ding Jilu thought that this was actually Gao Qiyu is flattering and flattering Zhang Juzheng, and even more so, he is trying to persuade Zhang Juzheng to become emperor! What do you think of this impeachment, Mr. Shenge?"

The question was directed at Shen Shixing. Xu Guo breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself: "If you are so desperate to convict the Zhang family, the emperor will come to trouble you, right?"

Shen Shixing was not panicked at all. He quickly replied:

"I think Ding Jilu is stirring up trouble! He uses such baseless inferences to conceive unfounded charges. This is a frame-up!

This person is so treacherous and insidious. If you listen to his slander and let him succeed, I am afraid there will be more incidents that are fabricated out of thin air in the future! This is not what should happen in a court with a clean government! "

Shen Shixing's answer was sonorous and powerful, and he seemed to be very determined.

Zhang Jing was also stunned. He suddenly couldn't understand Shen Shixing.

Why did this good old Ge Lao suddenly become so top-notch? Don’t you even want to pretend anymore?

"Mr. Shen Ge, are you sure you want to return to the Holy Emperor like this?" Zhang Jing's words contained a warning, and he also deliberately reminded:

"Do you still remember those four words the emperor gave you?"
