Chapter 734 Does the Old Shoufu Think Shen Yiguan Really Can't Be the Shoufu?
Looking at Zhao Zhigao's trembling body, Zhu Yijun frowned.

"The old chief assistant, please stand up. The old chief assistant is not at fault in any way. Zhang Cheng, help the first assistant up."

Zhu Yijun was very annoyed, but he also knew that this matter had nothing to do with Zhao Zhigao. Zhao Zhigao was innocent, and he could tell right from wrong. Facing the 70-year-old man, he couldn't bear to sit still no matter what.

Zhang Cheng quickly stepped forward to help the trembling Zhao Zhigao up, and asked him to sit down again.

Then Zhu Yijun looked at Shen Yiguan.

"Xiao Qing made meritorious service for the country and killed 30 captives for the country. Since Hongwu, there has never been such a great achievement. I want to be named a general of the Ming Dynasty, I! I want to reward the heroes of the Ming Dynasty! I want to reward my loyal ministers! Not your loyal ministers! Is the emperor or you are the emperor?! What is I going to do! I still need the consent of each of you to make it happen?!"

With a flick of his hand, Zhu Yijun threw a teacup onto the pillar on the right, smashing it to pieces.

"Who gave you the title? Who gave you the power? Who gave you the salary? Could it be that I have raised a group of Tai Sui who want to ride on my head and be domineering?! Is there such a reason in this world?!"

Under Zhu Yijun's thunderous anger, Zhao Zhigao knelt down to plead guilty again, and Shen Yiguan's kneeling body also began to tremble slightly.

After all, it is the emperor, even if he loses most of the imperial power, the power of anger can still shock the courtiers.

"Attack the cabinet, attack the palace, and ask me for an explanation! I'm afraid they have forgotten who is the emperor and who is the ruler of Ming! The subordinates have committed crimes, have no king, and act recklessly! Zhang Cheng, give me Shen Li. Ji Deng called, and Xu Zuo Wen Chun, call them together!"

"Old slave obeys!"

Zhang Cheng ran out quickly.

"and many more!"

Zhu Yijun spoke suddenly.

Zhang Cheng quickly stopped and turned around.

"Help the old Shoufu up, old Shoufu, stop kneeling, you are not wrong, it has nothing to do with this matter, just sit down."

After all, Zhu Yijun still sympathized with Zhao Zhigao.

Zhang Cheng hurried over and helped Zhao Zhigao up.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compassion."

Zhao Zhigao was moved and wiped his red eyes twice, which made Zhu Yijun feel sad, and at the same time, his hatred for Shen Li deepened.

Although Shen consistently mentioned three people, Zhu Yijun knew very well that Shen Li definitely played the main role in this matter.

Shen Li is an assistant minister of the cabinet, with a great reputation in hand, first of all, he can use his own name to lift the cabinet's self-defense, and easily approach Shen Yiguan to achieve his own goals.

He was loathed by himself, lost his power, and was thinking about how to regain power. The goal was naturally Shen Yiguan. Zhao Zhigao, who doesn't ask about government affairs, was implicated.

Zhu Yijun once thought that Shen Li, who was his teacher, would be of one mind with him. At the beginning, he also admired the upright Shen Li, and cared for him. After taking office, he also tried every means to let Shen Li join the cabinet. Create a new situation together.

However, Shen Li disappointed Zhu Yijun too much.

Does he still have a trace of teacher-student friendship in his heart?Can you still remember the great principles he taught me when I was ignorant?Did he himself keep what he had said?
Upright and upright, honest and honest, but are they all false principles?Could he do it himself?
When Zhu Yijun trusted Shen Li, he trusted him completely. For this reason, in the early days of his pro-government, he required himself to meet the requirements of Shen Li in everything, but then he discovered that these requirements seemed to have never been fulfilled by Shen Li himself. , and right now, even more so.

With deep love and deep hatred, Zhu Yijun, who is in urgent need of an ally, placed great expectations on Shen Li, but in the end he found that this former teacher didn't seem to care about this teacher-student relationship, but cared more about his own reputation and power.

That being the case, what else is there to say?
Zhao Zhigao was probably thirsty, he was so frightened that he was overwhelmed and didn't care. Now that he came back to his senses, he felt his mouth was dry, and he started drinking tea with a teacup. After drinking a bowl of tea, it was still a bit Unfinished look.

Looking at Zhao Zhigao's aging appearance, Zhu Yijun couldn't help feeling pity in his heart, took a few deep breaths to calm himself down, took a hot water bottle, and poured a bowl of tea for Zhao Zhigao himself.

"Your Majesty...Old Minister...Old Minister, thank you Your Majesty..."

Zhao Zhigao habitually knelt down to thank him, Zhu Yijun stretched out his hand to support Zhao Zhigao.

"I, it's hard for the old Chief Assistant..."

In a word, when it came to Zhao Zhigao's heart, Zhao Zhigao immediately felt his nose sore and his eyes blurred. Zhu Yijun helped Zhao Zhigao to sit back in his original position, seeing Zhao Zhigao's tearful and aggrieved appearance, he felt even more uncomfortable.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty is sympathetic to the old minister... The old minister is content."

Zhao Zhigao raised his sleeves and wiped his eyes, then sighed: "If the old minister makes things a little more difficult and makes the world more peaceful, the old minister is also willing, but the old minister... the old minister is incompetent, and the veteran cannot do it..."

Zhu Yijun raised his head and exhaled a foul breath.

"Why don't I want to be the emperor of Taiping, why don't I want the world to be peaceful, and the palace will be safe and sound without any disturbances, but... I only have a handful of courtiers like the old Shoufu... On the other hand Those bastards are getting more bastard than one!"

Shaking his head, Zhu Yijun patted Zhao Zhigao's shoulder, looked back at Shen Yiguan who was kneeling on the ground and didn't dare to get up, thought for a while, then leaned down and whispered in Zhao Zhigao's ear: "Old Shoufu thought Shen Yiguan Is it true that you can't always be the chief assistant?"

Zhao Zhigao was stunned for a while, looking at Shen Yiguan who was kneeling on the ground with old eyes, not daring to move, and realized something very important.

He finally understood that he was just an incompetent old man who really couldn't do anything, until the last moment, he still couldn't do anything.

He took a deep breath.

"Shen always seems to be feminine, but in fact he is ruthless. He loves power and power. If he takes power, he will inevitably install cronies in the court, causing opposition and division among the courtiers, and causing serious party disputes. The more fierce the party disputes, the more divided the officials It cannot be bridged, and the balance of the court is important, but if the party struggle becomes a battle of sentiments instead of a dispute between right and wrong, then something bad will happen. There are precedents in history, and the veterans have said it all."

Zhu Yijun straightened up silently, and looked at the aged and frail Zhao Zhigao.

Zhao Zhigao is good in every way, but he can't do things. Shen Guan has all kinds of bad things, but he can do things.

What the emperor needs is someone who can do things, not a nice gentleman.

Not to mention a "teacher" who broke his heart.

This was a decision that should have been made a long time ago, but Zhu Yijun didn't know whether he could make good use of this double-edged sword.

His Grandpa Jiajing mastered Yan Song's double-edged sword with great proficiency and disgusted the officials for 20 years. In the end, the double-edged sword became blunt, and he himself was caught without a fight. However, his self-awareness is not as good as Grandpa Jiajing's, and he can still support a man surnamed Shen. Yan Song?
