Sun Chengzong actually understood what he meant very well, just to tell Zhu Youxiao that you used the eunuch party because the eunuch party was obedient. The old ministers understood, but you can't just use the eunuch party. After all, most of the officials who were willing to surrender to eunuchs were villains who were tempted by the storm.

Moreover, Wei Zhongxian, the leader of the eunuch party, has offended many people for you, and it is time for you to give up on this dog.

The cunning rabbit dies and the lackeys cook. This is just a common imperial technique, so why can't Your Majesty use it?

Zhu Youxiao naturally knew what Sun Chengzong meant. For the nine thousand-year-old Wei Zhongxian, he also knew that this eunuch who had transferred a lot of conflicts for him would not have a good ending. Just like Liu Jin, their last use value was to be executed by the emperor and then regain the hearts of his ministers.

But Zhu Youxiao did not think that Wei Zhongxian's path would be toward death. He still needed him and continued to do things for himself.

However, in order to paralyze most of the moderate Donglin Party, he had to take some measures against Wei Zhongxian, at least not allow him to continue to stay in the Sili Supervisory Office.

"Li Mingrui is your disciple, right?"

Zhu Youxiao asked, and the Li Mingrui he mentioned was the official in later generations who suggested that Emperor Chongzhen move south on the eve of Li Zicheng's breaking city. He was considered a relatively pragmatic official.

Li Mingrui was indeed a disciple of Sun Chengzong, but Sun Chengzong did not understand why Li Mingrui was valued by His Majesty, but now he didn't ask much, so he nodded.

"You instruct him to impeach Wei Zhongxian, but remember that I don't want Wei Zhongxian to die now, so that he can grasp the right position himself. If I don't feel satisfied, I will not only not dismiss Wei Zhongxian, but also kill him!"

Being with the king is like a tiger. Sun Chengzong knew this naturally, but he was more excited at this moment.

Because this shows that His Majesty the Emperor already had the intention to give up Wei Zhongxian, and let his disciples impeach Wei Zhongxian, it was obvious that he would increase his prestige, the new Grand Secretary.

His disciple impeached the most prominent figure in the court. Who dares to say that there is no intention of it? In the eyes of outsiders, he is more favored by the emperor than Wei Zhongxian.

In this way, whether it is the eunuch party or the Donglin party, I am afraid that they will have to give themselves face.

The eunuch party naturally had to flatter him because he was more favored than Wei Zhongxian, and the Donglin party was naturally willing to follow him because his disciples could impeach Wei Zhongxian.

It is August now, and it is the time when the autumn rain is lingering and the cold wind blows, Li Mingrui, who has been waiting outside the palace gate, can't help but stomp his feet.

From the day he learned that his mentor Sun Chengzong had been restored by Emperor Zhu Youxiao, he had been excited for several days and had not had a good sleep. Today, he learned that his mentor had entered the capital and was in the palace.

He couldn't bear to wait outside the palace gate.

Like a dense curtain of drizzle threading needles, the figure of his mentor Sun Chengzong gradually became clear from blur. Li Mingrui, who had turned from a heroic young man to a middle-aged and half-old man, quickly patted the raindrops on his body, and ran to Sun Chengzong and bowed a long time:

"My teacher is here, please accept a greeting from the students!"

"Get up. I haven't seen you for a few years, and you have also gained a lot of white hair."

Sun Chengzong couldn't help but sigh, remembering the scene of his comments on the world in the Gongyuan and slaying troops to kill the enemy in Liaodong.

"Since I learned that my teacher was dismissed from work and returned to my hometown, the students have been restless. Now that my teacher returns to the court, the white hair of the student will naturally turn green." Li Mingrui smiled fiercely.

Sun Chengzong didn't say much, letting Li Mingrui help him and sighed, "You have been in the Hanlin Academy for five years."

"The student was a Jinshi in the second year of the Tianqi period, and it has been five years and five months."

Li Mingrui replied with a wry smile.

Although the official position of the Hanlin Academy is a pure and simple official, he is also a poor official. His family is not as reliable as that of an official from a gentry family for many days. In the years of being an official, Li Mingrui has never bought a piece of winter clothes. However, because his teacher Sun Chengzong was dismissed, he did not want to join the Donglin or the eunuch party. This has caused the current official position and the family is becoming more and more embarrassed.

These are nothing. Li Mingrui, who has long regarded himself as Liu Yuxi of the Ming Dynasty, felt even more frustrated that his lifelong ambitions could not be displayed. However, his immediate boss was also a treacherous villain Sun Zhixie, and he didn't even have the chance to listen to the sky.

Li Mingrui did not tell Sun Chengzong about his suffering, but Sun Chengzong also saw the current dilemma of his student from his patched ring-collar liyi.

"In recent years, because the mentor is either in Liaodong or staying at home, I have not had time to support you, and you are unwilling to go to other relationships. Fortunately, Your Majesty remembers you, and from today on, you will change to the emperor's sect."

Sun Chengzong said.

Li Mingrui didn't understand what his teacher meant, but heard Sun Chengzong say again: "Who is the most powerful person in the court now? Do you know?"

"Naturally, Wei Zhongxian, known as the nine thousand years old," Li Mingrui replied.

Sun Chengzong nodded: "You write a memorandum to impeach him."

Li Mingrui was shocked and wondered why his teacher had impeached Wei Zhongxian, the most powerful person in the court, just after he was reinstated.

You should know that neither the Donglin Party nor the King of Xin Zhu Youjian did not overthrow Wei Zhongxian, and even led to the King of Xin expelling the capital. The Donglin Party also impeached Wei Zhongxian and countless people were sent to the Jinyiwei Prison.

I am just a small Hanlin Academy reviewer, and I am not a sixth department chief or a censor. If I annoy Your Majesty because of this, Your Majesty can kill me directly.

Before Li Mingrui asked, Sun Chengzong sighed: "Your Majesty is not a foolish monarch. He has already seen the great affairs of the world!"

As he said that, Sun Chengzong glanced at Li Mingrui again: "When impeachment, be careful of the right person. Don't want to commit Wei Zhongxian as a Donglin Party, and don't scratch the surface. You can grasp the right person by yourself. In addition, this is what Your Majesty mean."

"What does your majesty mean?"

Li Mingrui was confused. You should know that it was because of the officials who impeached Li Jinzhong and threatened His Majesty to severely punish Wei Zhongxian that His Majesty was furious and directly issued a central order to grant Wei Zhongxian "Nine Thousand Years".

In just less than two years, Your Majesty began to hate Wei Zhongxian?

But through His Majesty's recent performance, there is no sign of this.

Sun Chengzong nodded.

Li Mingrui had to believe this and was also a little excited. If he had participated in Wei Zhongxian, he would be destined to make great contributions and leave a name in history. This was a great thing for him.

While happy, Li Mingrui couldn't help but ask: "Sir, why did Your Majesty instruct the students?"

"Because you are neither the Donglin Party nor the eunuch Party."

Sun Chengzong said something and entered the sedan chair. Only Li Mingrui was still standing there. It was not until a gust of wind whistled past that he helped the black veil on his head and walked back.
