Chapter Thirty-Ninth Embarrassment

Wang Duo saw the emperor say this, and knew that this was an opportunity to show his position. "The emperor, I have been an official for many years, and I have experienced ups and downs in the officialdom. Last night, I realized the way of being an official. The minister is the envoy of the king. The king is the lord of the minister. The minister cannot be the lord. This is called a rebellion. Since Wanli, the court has been spent on internal strife and party struggles, which is caused by the fact that the ministers cannot plan their own politics. Therefore, the rebellion cases have been repeatedly filed. Since ancient times, powerful ministers have formed gangs and private affairs have become a law. Since the founding of the country, the powerful ministers have frequently occurred. Hu Weiyong and Lan Yu were the beginning, and Ma Shiying and Ruan Dacheng were the end, which made our Ming Dynasty devastated. Now Your Majesty made a quick decision, put down the traitors, put aside the traitors, and gave up military talismans. This is a great blessing for the Ming Dynasty. The people in the world are very lucky. I am not talented. Although I cannot imitate the deeds of Wuhou, I am willing to be heartbroken to fulfill the emperor's grace."

I was quite moved when I heard Wang Duo's bold words. Since I opened my door and left, there was no one around me who could discuss major issues. The huge stall was really hard for me to start. Only then did I understand how difficult it is for the leaders of the country in the future. Not everyone can manage the country well. The information I received and processed every day made people feel unrelaxed.

Seeing that the emperor had no words, Wang Duo didn't know what the emperor was thinking, and believed that he did not believe in his loyalty? "The emperor, the prince appeared in Suzhou and the minister had already made a fuss about the rumor that the prince appeared in Suzhou, and he begged the emperor to hand over the case to the minister."

I was considering whether to trust Wang Duo at this time. I had no idea about him. If Shi Kefa said these words to me just now, I would agree without hesitation, because Shi Kefa's Zhongbing had already undergone the test of history. But what about Wang Duo? Why did he do this, for power, for wealth, or for showing himself? "Wang Aiqing, I will discuss the matter of the crown prince again. I want to ask you a few words. What do you think Wang Aiqing thinks since I ascended the throne?" If Wang Duo was saying flattery, then I can only laugh at his loyalty. If he was just saying just right, then I will treat him with Liu Zongzhou. What I most hope is that he will discuss things on the matter and start from my standpoint, because what I need is a confidant. To put it bluntly, I need someone who is "colluding with me".

Wang Duo was stunned, "Return to the emperor, since I went south, I was not optimistic about the emperor at first. When the emperor was in Luoyang, he was very famous. After the governor of Nanjing, he tried his best to favor Ma Shiying and others, which caused the court to be in a state of decline and all officials were resentful. However, I misunderstood the emperor. I guess the emperor did this to paralyze everyone and be able to sit in the dragon court. The emperor's plan was very successful. Not only did Ma Shiying and others support the emperor in order to avenge power in the future, but the people in the Donglin Party in Jiangnan also surrendered because of Ma Shiying and others, and forgive me for being disrespectful. At that time, I also thought that the emperor was a puppet, but the progress in the past month made me suddenly enlightened. The emperor first removed Liu Zeqing and seized military power, and then put down Ma Shiying's party in house, undermining the Donglin Party and Jiangnan scholars. A series of measures allowed the emperor to personally gain real power. From then on, I realized that the emperor was a wise and wise ruler."

Wang Duo said while watching Emperor Hongguang's expression. He had been an official for so many years. After saying the praise, Wang Duo changed his tone, "Emperor, the so-called bystanders are clear. Although the emperor quickly controlled the situation near Nanjing, I think the emperor was too hasty and some mistakes could not be made up. For example, the emperor sent off the palace servants and the maids, but Concubine Bin could not release him from the palace! It was a great damage to the royal family's face, although those Concubine Bin had not passed the book.

The conferred emperor casually included women in the palace, but it was reported that three of them became tigers, which made those scholars gossip; there was another thing that the emperor neglected, how could the Jinyiwei disband? The one who had the most effective founding of the country was not the civil and military officials of the court, but the Jinyiwei! I know that the emperor wanted to give the new dynasty a new atmosphere, but the corresponding responsibilities should be rebuilt inside. I believe that the emperor did not set up a statute equivalent to the Jinyiwei, so the emperor's eyes and ears were blinded, which was extremely unfavorable to the emperor...!"

The words Wang Duo said were extremely sharp in praise and criticism. There was only one purpose, which was to let the emperor know that he wanted to be the emperor's confidant and promise not to form cliques for personal gain, because what he wanted was a staff-like private minister, a person who only served the emperor. After Wang Duo finished speaking, he knelt down, "Your Majesty, I have committed the crime of ten evil disrespect for my words, but I have the heart to the emperor. The heaven can be seen by the sun and the moon, the emperor!" Wang Duo was inspired by his wife Hu last night, and suddenly understood how he became an official. He knew that the emperor would believe in himself and would definitely follow him as his confidant. These were all thanks to the wife! I originally thought of taking another concubine recently, but now I have lost this idea. I have time to spend more time with my original wife.

I felt it very useful when I listened to Wang Duo's words. Although Wang Duo was more or less suspicious of flattery, and he called my surprise as Zhu Yousong's scheming, which made me laugh and I couldn't help but admire his imagination, but his mood had already made me understand. I walked up to him and helped him up. "I am very happy today. Zhou Dejiang Shang and Qi Deguan Zhong are just in this mood. Come and see Wang Aiqing." I would also like to say that it sounds nice.

Although Wang Duo concluded that the emperor would have such a decision, the big stone hanging in his heart actually landed on the ground at this time. He sat on the chair brought by the eunuch and felt happy. "Emperor, the rumors should be decided immediately. To eliminate the mouths of everyone, I found someone, Li Zhan, the doctor of the Ministry of Justice. This person has a little personal relationship with the weak minister, but he has been closely related to Ma Shiying and others on weekdays and has been under house arrest by the emperor. I recommend him to handle the case with me, and I hope the emperor will be grateful."

I nodded, "Absolutely, I will appoint him as the deputy Zuodu Censor of the Inspectorate, the third rank, Wang Aiqing, and the late emperor and the crown prince are related to the foundation of this dynasty. I hope you can handle it appropriately."

"Don't worry, my uncle will definitely satisfy the emperor and make no complaints in the world." Wang Duo was extremely excited now. He is not only a Grand Secretary of the Dongge, but also the emperor's most confidant confidant, which makes him feel light and brisk in his work.

I looked at Wang Duo, "Wang Aiqing, I will give you a word before you leave here. You said just now that the king is the king, and the minister is the minister. If the minister is not like the minister, then don't blame me for turning against him for being ruthless." I was not frightened by flattery, and I must tell Wang Duo these things that should be said. He said it nicely, but I don't want to cultivate a powerful minister who is more difficult to deal with than Ma Shiying.
