"Although Zhang Jing did not greedy for disaster relief, he collected 15,000 taels of silver from the Hejian Prefect. After that, countless victims of Hejian starved to death and came to Beijing to beg for money. My ministers noticed the matter and then asked someone to investigate and submitted it to the Ministry of Justice."

Shen Shixing said this, click to stop.

Zhang Jing peeked at the emperor's face. The emperor had closed his eyes. Zhang Cheng and Tian Yi both hurried forward and said, "Your Majesty, your Majesty, your Majesty."

The emperor waved his hand, took a deep breath and asked, "What should the prefect in Hejian do with it?"

Shen Shixing did not answer because he had not been in the cabinet in the past few days. Zhang Cheng looked in the pile of memorials for a while, and then reported to the emperor: "The Ministry of Justice is planning to seize the post!"

The emperor didn't even look at the memorial handed over by Zhang Cheng and said, "I wrote that the Ministry of Justice intends to prosecute you!"

When Zhang Jing heard the emperor's words, he was already sweating all over.

"I am obeying the imperial edict." Zhang Cheng replied.

Then the emperor looked at Zhang Jing and said, "What do you think you should do with it?"

Zhang Jing cried and said, "The only one who dies. The emperor's long grace will never be repaid in this life. If you want to repay it again in the next life, the emperor's ministers can no longer serve you."

Lin Yanchao watched coldly, Zhang Jing was also very smart. If he talked about the theory of the in-laws, one hundred Zhang Jing was not Shen Shixing. Lin Yanchao, who stood out among millions of scholars in the world, had only one way to make a defense. So he only had one move, which was to admit all the charges himself, and he would not die.

Because the emperor knew that Zhang Jing took the blame for him, as long as these charges did not damage the emperor's reputation at all, then Zhang Jing would not have any major problems.

After Zhang Jing said this, Lin Yanchao saw that the anger on the emperor's face was obviously halved.

The emperor asked Shen Shixing: "In accordance with the teacher's opinion, how should we deal with this slave?"

Shen Shixing and the emperor and his ministers have been together for many years, but they still don’t know what the emperor means, so they are still unwilling to get Zhang Jing. So they kicked the ball to Shen Shixing and asked him to find a way for the emperor.

Shen Shixing could defeat the emperor or even threaten him with resignation, but he could not go back and forth, as this would mean he was losing his composure.

At this time, Lin Yanchao secretly kicked Sun Long on the ground with his feet.

Sun Long was kneeling on the ground, but was kicked by Lin Yanchao and trembled. He immediately said, "Your Majesty, I have Zhang Jing's crimes here!"

The emperor looked at Sun Long and said with a sharp eye: "Why didn't you say it just now?"

Sun Long gritted his teeth and said, "I am afraid of Zhang Jing, so I dare not say it just now."

The emperor looked cold and said, "Come on."

Sun Long said immediately: "Actually, Zhang Jing knew that the Hejian prefect was greedy for disaster relief silver to bribe him. He also told him that the disaster relief silver was given by the emperor from the inner treasury. For this reason, the emperor ordered the inner treasury to stop the money for the garden. As slaves, how can we see the emperor shelter from the wind and rain? Our family still needs to build this garden for the emperor. This is also the filial piety of you civil officials to the emperor. As for the victims, it is enough for the Ministry of Revenue to have food from the Ministry of Revenue. The silver cannot be eaten, and it is useless to take it."

After Sun Long talked about this, he cited several other things, each of which was Zhang Jing collecting money outside, but then under the banner of the emperor.

What else is more deadly than betrayal?

As soon as this happened, Lin Yanchao understood in his heart that Zhang Jing was in a state of disgrace.

"Take Zhang Jing down!" The emperor finally issued an order.

Sun Long couldn't help but sweat on his forehead, showing a look of horror on his face. Lin Yanchao knew Sun Long's thoughts, and he thought that if Zhang Jing was not defeated, he would be in trouble.

But Lin Yanchao did not have this concern. He also looked at Shen Shixing, Xu Guo and Wang Xijue assured.

Two eunuchs came forward to pull Zhang Jing, but when they saw Zhang Jing, they suddenly said, "We can leave by ourselves!"

Speaking of this, Zhang Jing kowtowed three times to the emperor again, and then said seriously: "Let's bid farewell to the emperor!"

Lin Yanchao saw the corners of the emperor's eyes jump slightly, and then closed his eyes again. Finally, Zhang Jing stood up and didn't look at Shen Shixing. Lin Yanchao took a look and strode down. In the end, he still gave himself a face.

At this time, Xu Guo reported: "Report to Your Majesty, the reason why Zhang Jing's incident caused an uproar is that Your Majesty did not pay tribute to all officials, and even the internal and external isolation is that the Eastern Palace has not been established, so people are panicked. Please ask Your Majesty to take a look at these two matters."

Wang Xijue also replied: "I will discuss it!"

The emperor waved his hand and said, "I already know this."

At this time, Shen Shixing said: "Your Majesty, these two matters are not decided, and there may be more memorials like Luo Yuren."

The emperor said: "My minister is arrogant and takes righteousness as evil, and takes evil as righteousness. In the future, I would like to ask the sir to make more suggestions for me."

The emperor once again shamelessly asked Shen Shixing to return to the cabinet.

Shen Shixing said: "Because I have followed the mistakes of my predecessors, I have reported to the emperor's arbitrary decisions, and the lower I have submitted to the public opinion of the foreign court, so I dare not make arbitrary claims."

As we all know, this predecessor refers to Zhang Juzheng.

The emperor thought for a while and said, "I am the heart, and the gentleman and others are the hearts. How can the hearts move without the hearts? Since I have appointed the gentleman to deal with state affairs, what should I avoid? Gentlemen should still argue for me, work hard and not shirk responsibility."

The emperor said this, which was a concession.

Shen Shixing immediately knelt down and kowtowed, "I treated my ministers with my heart with my heart, and I still know how to repay the master. Moreover, I have received the emperor's kindness from the emperor, but I dare not repay me without my heart. I have to work hard and complain. I am the right person in the book and I will obey it day and night."

Shen Shixing spoke, and Wang Xijue also thanked him. The emperor nodded with satisfaction.

This situation was a joy. The cabinet strike was resolved, and the emperor also agreed to delegate more power to the cabinet.

Lin Yanchao sincerely admired him. If an ordinary person does not have a solid temper like Shen Shixing, he would either start arguing with the emperor early and everyone would part with each other, or he would be bullied by the emperor.

Shen Shixing replied to the emperor's request to return to the cabinet and said the first sentence was: "I am the emperor who enthroned the Eastern Palace, which is a major plan for the clan society. I hope the emperor will give a ruling early."

Lin Yanchao's expression was also very wonderful when he saw the emperor. When he encountered Shen Shixing's water grinding skills, the emperor had no choice.

The emperor thought for a long time before saying, "I understand. But the queen has no legitimate son, and the elders and young people will be determined. Concubine Zheng also repeatedly asked me to establish the emperor's son, for fear that the ministers outside would have doubts. But after thinking about it, the eldest son is still weak, and I want to wait until he can go out to his strength and go out before he can rest assured."

Shen Shixing said again: "The emperor is wise and wise. The eldest son of the emperor is eight years old and is in the sect of Yu. Today, it is advisable to leave the cabinet to study."

Lin Yanchao knew that this had returned to the old routine, so the minister asked the emperor to enthrone the Eastern Palace. The emperor said no, no, the queen had not yet been born, so I will talk about it when the queen was born.

The minister asked to enthrone the Eastern Palace again, but the emperor said no, no, the crown prince was too young.

The minister said that Huang Yuanzi was eight years old and not young anymore. Even if he was not appointed as the crown prince, he should have left the cabinet and studied.

As we all know, when a prince goes out to study, he must choose Hanlin as his teacher and is under the responsibility of the Zhan Shi Mansion. This means that the prince will have a team from now on. At that time, the emperor wanted to change the crown prince, and the first person he did not agree to was the crown prince teacher in the Zhan Shi Mansion.

At that time, the cost of re-establishing the crown prince was too high.

The emperor is not a fool. This matter has been discussed several times. The emperor immediately said, "The human nature is different, either born to know, or learned, or confused. If you are born to be naturally smart, how can you teach one by one?"

Lin Yanchao complained in his heart that the emperor was too shameless, and he even brought out the words of Saint Confucius. Confucius said that those who were born to know it are the best; those who were learned to know it are the next; those who were confused and learned it are the next; those who were confused and did not learn it are the next; those who were trapped and learned it are the next; those who were trapped but did not learn it are the people who were the best.

Then I said that my eldest son was born smart, that is, he could learn by himself without teaching. Do you dare to deny this? Do you dare to say that my son is not smart? What do you mean is that my son is stupid as a pig, and you have to teach your ministers?

The emperor's little tricks were not in Shen Shixing's eyes. Shen Shixing casually resolved it: "Report to Your Majesty, human talents are from heaven and knowledge are achieved by others. Although Huang Yuanzi has the resources of wisdom and wise men, there has never been anyone who can achieve success without teaching since ancient times."

"As the saying goes, "Even if you have a little success, you will be as good as nature, and your son of Huangyuan must teach in time to achieve virtue."

When the emperor heard this, he knelt on the spot, and finally he could only act like a scoundrel and said, "I already know it. After the gentlemen go back, I will send an order to give each gentleman a table of wine and meals and burn a cent."

Finally, the emperor glanced at Lin Yanchao. Lin Yanchao also knew that the emperor was a little dissatisfied with his defeat of Zhang Jing, so he stopped talking about rewards.

The three prime ministers and Lin Yanchao could only thank them and then left the Qianqing Palace.

It was different when he left and when he came. Lin Yanchao fell behind, and three prime ministers walked in front.

After leaving the palace gate, the three prime ministers spoke, Xu Guodao: "Yuanfu and Luo Yuren were still kneeling outside the Meridian Gate, wanting to ask the emperor for death."

Shen Shixing pondered and said, "Luo Yuren has aroused the emperor's anger, and we cannot protect us even if we are anxious. Besides, he is going to kneel at the Meridian Gate, so he can only ask the emperor to issue an order to pardon him for not guilty, but this guilt is confirmed to be guilty."

Wang Xijue said: "If this person is not saved, the censor may be in trouble again."

Several people talked and talked, Lin Yanchao followed carefully, and the big guys spoke, but he was still less qualified to interrupt now.

At this moment, I heard footsteps. Lin Yanchao turned his head and saw an eunuch running hurriedly from the palace gate. This person was either someone else or the eunuch Chen Ju, the eunuch of the Sili Prison.

But seeing that Chen Ju was not angry, he still saluted Shen Shi and said, "Your Majesty, please stay and move to Yude Palace."

The three priests looked at each other, wondering what the emperor's actions meant. Should the emperor pronounce the verdict on Zhang Jing or to retaliate against Luo Yuren?

Lin Yanchao hesitated slightly, Chen Ju smiled at Lin Yanchao and said, "Mr. Lin, come together!"

Lin Yanchao nodded.

This Yude Palace is one of the six western palaces, very close to Empress Dowager Li’s Cining Palace and Qianqing Palace. The emperor sometimes sleeps here at night.

So three cabinet ministers followed Chen Ju to Yude Palace.

But at this moment, there were countless palace maids, nannies, and eunuchs standing around Yude Palace.

This scene was a little strange, Lin Yanchao thought to himself, are there any concubines included?

Shen Shixing and the other two waited in front of the palace for a while, then Tian Yi, the eunuch of the Sili Prison, left the palace gate: "The emperor invited the three cabinet masters and Minister Lin to enter the west room of the palace."

Three Grand Secretary of the Cabinet and Lin Yanchao entered Yude Palace together. When they arrived at the western room of the palace, they saw the emperor sitting on the Yukong. On the right side of the Yukong, there was a seven or eight-year-old boy standing. The emperor stretched out his hand and held the boy's hand.

The boy was wearing a wide robe and was a little thin. When he saw a few strangers, he looked a little disgusted and he hid his eyes back.

A wet nurse was half hugging a child about three years old, but the other party was not afraid of strangers. She stared at Shen Shixing, Lin Yanchao and the other two with her eyes openly.

At this moment, Shen Shixing, Wang Xijue's uncontrollable body trembled, and he knelt down and bowed to the boy beside the emperor first to bow to the great ceremony.

Then he saluted the third son of the emperor.

Lin Yanchao also felt the indescribable emotions and the inexplicable excitement in Shen Shixing's heart, and he followed the ceremony.

The emperor on the collapsed collapse smiled and said, "I am pleased to call the eldest brother to meet the Qing family?"

Shen Shixing had tears in his eyes and said tremblingly: "When I see the wise face of Emperor Yuanzi, I feel like I am glad to see the stars and celebrating the clouds."

The emperor nodded when he heard this. At this moment, his emperor's aura was gone and he was not as alert as before in the hall. He thought that he was now an ordinary father.

He held Huang Yuanzi's hand and asked him to stand in front of him, and then introduced one by one: "Chang Luo, this is Mr. Shen, Mr. Xu, and Mr. Wang. They are all the ministers of the father and the pillars of the country and the country."

Shen Shixing and the three of them greeted each other and said again: "My minister Shen Shixing (Xu Guo, Wang Xijue) bowed to His Highness."
