Chapter 8 Commoner Prime Minister Wang Wenyan

If ** Xing is the leader of the Donglin Party in an open manner, then Wang Wenyan can definitely be regarded as the big hands behind the Donglin Party. He started his career as a prisoner and joined the Donglin Party through Wang An's recommendation. He then won over the Chu Party official Ying Zhen, defeated the Zhejiang Party and the Party, and then kicked the Chu Party away. From then on, the Donglin Party had the absolute right to speak in the court. Therefore, even ** Xing obeyed Wang Wenyan. Wang Wenyan was able to "manage the world with a commoner."

Wang Wenyan said: "Now that Ruan Dacheng dared to impeach the two adults, he must have joined the eunuch party. Wei Zhongxian's time in the court was still short, so he didn't have to take this impeachment seriously. However, since the death of the father-in-law Wang An, we have cut off contact with the Silijian, because we are afraid that the emperor and the eunuch party will be together day and night. If this continues, we will suffer the chaos."

But we are naturally just talking in the court, but there are really no ones who can speak in the palace! It is difficult to find a useful one in the palace." Huang Zunsu sighed.

"Haha, Brother Zunsu's words are reasonable. But I do have one person to recommend it." Wang Wenyan smiled.

"Oh? There are chess pieces in the palace in Wenyan? I wonder who it is?" **xing thought about it but no one was allowed. Seeing that Wang Wenyan was so confident, he couldn't help but ask.

Seeing **xing’s question, Wang Wenyan bowed and said, “In my opinion, if we want to truly defeat Wei Yan, we only need the queen to stand on our side and have an 80% chance of winning. I think the queen has always been dissatisfied with Keshi, and Keshi also makes things difficult for the queen’s father. If we unite with the current father-in-law, the queen will definitely stand on our side. With our joint efforts inside and outside, why worry about the big thing not being done!”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but laugh. Wang Wenyan was indeed extremely talented. Since the tone was set, everyone's morale had stabilized and they were chatting and laughing for a while. **xing ordered the mansion to prepare wine, dishes, singing and dancing. Everyone had no worries in their hearts. However, they did not notice that although Wang Wenyan had a smiling face, a touch of sorrow between her eyebrows had not dissipated for a long time.

Zhu Youjian had no way to share the joy of these people. After breakfast in the morning, he planned to make up for another sleep. He reported to him that the professor Wen Zhenmeng, the royal family, had arrived at the mansion. After calculating the time, his school life was about to start again. When he came to the study, the gentleman had already sat in the upper head. Wen Zhenmeng was the top scholar in the second year of Tianqi, but he offended Wei Zhongxian, so he was demoted from a Hanlin bachelor to the royal family as a professor.

Since his career has been cut off, Master Wen no longer has the luxury of being a marquis and a prime minister. In addition, Zhu Youjian is just an idle prince, so he can live like this. Fortunately, this little prince is talented and respects him, but it’s a pity that he is full of knowledge and passion!

Seeing Zhu Youxiao come in, Wen Zhenmeng said: "A few days ago, I heard that the prince was injured and was bedridden, so I stopped classes for a few days. I hope the prince will not slack off and continue to work hard. However, as a noble man in heaven, the prince should know that a gentleman should not stand under a dangerous wall. He should abide by etiquette and law in every move, so that he can live up to the blood of the Emperor."

Although Zhu Youxiao’s teacher looked old-fashioned and serious, his concern from the bottom of his heart could not be hidden. He replied respectfully: “If the student knows his mistake, he will definitely not let down the teacher’s teachings in the future.” Master Wen saw that the prince admitted his mistake on his own initiative, he stopped pursuing it. He picked up the book on the table and said: “Your Majesty, let’s talk about historical records today, and I don’t know which section the prince wants to learn first.”

Thinking of Emperor Wu of Han’s internal and external dynasty, Zhu Youxiao blurted out: “Today’s students want to learn this part of Emperor Xiaowu.”

"Oh?" Wen Zhenmeng was a little surprised. He was a student who looked at him on weekdays. Although King Xin was talented, he was a little petty. Moreover, King Xin was not favored by the emperor since he was a child and lost his mother early, so he had a hint of dusk at such a young age. Today, he talked about history, and originally prepared the ancient and spring and autumn parts, but he didn't expect that the little prince would actually listen to the fragments of Emperor Wu of Han.

However, as the top scholar in the second year of the Apocalypse, Master Wen has been immersed in history books for many years and has long been able to get it casually, so he is calm.

"I don't know which part the prince wants to learn first." Wen Zhenmeng asked.

"Sir, students want to hear how Emperor Wu established an internal and external dynasty at the beginning of his ascension to the throne and wrestled with Empress Dowager Dou." Zhu Youxiaodao. Wen Zhenmeng couldn't help but look at this little prince with a different look. It should be noted that although Emperor Wu of Han was well-known to the achievements of the Huns in hundreds of battles, Emperor Wu's internal affairs were also a model for emperors of all dynasties. He appointed the internal and external dynasties and despised Empress Dowager Dou, recommended the orders of grace and despised the princes, and cast copper coins to despise the rich in the world. It was the implementation of basic national policies that ensured the stability of the rear of the war. Without these internal affairs, Wei Qing and Huo Qubing would probably be difficult to seal the wolf's servants.

But why did this little prince listen to these today? Did he have other thoughts? Wen Zhenmeng was both happy and worried. Today, the emperor is strong and strong, and it is the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period. Although he is like a foolish monarch, his great cause may not be achieved. What he is happy is that if this little prince really has the intention to fight, his passion will have room to exert.

Thinking of this, Wen Zhenmeng said: "Your Majesty can tell why Emperor Wu can rule the outer court with the inner court. The reason is that the inner court is in charge of the military and the outer court is in charge of officials. Most of the recent attendants of Emperor Wu of Han are proficient in military techniques and martial arts, and the few literati selected are all from poor backgrounds and are born enemies with those aristocratic families. Therefore, if you have the power of military power and officials in your hands, why worry about not being convinced in the world? Therefore, if you really want to achieve a career, the power of the military must be in your hands. You are useless as a scholar!"

Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but lit up. Yes, he was still having a headache about the disputes in the court, and his own people could not interfere with the court at all. However, the Ming Dynasty was noble and noble in literature and martial arts. If he could start from the side, he would get an elite force, as long as he could come in handy at critical moments, he could ascend the throne smoothly. With his own eyes and the names of those fierce people in the history of the Ming Dynasty, talents would be at their fingertips.

Wen Zhenmeng's words can be said to have made Zhu Youxiao completely find the direction of his struggle. Zhu Youxiao stood up and thanked, "Thank you for your advice, and you will have to worry about it in the future." Wen Zhenmeng stood up and said, "I am the only job of assisting the prince. Since the prince has great ambitions, I am willing to advance and retreat with the prince. I only want to help the prince achieve great achievements." This is loyalty. It seems that his teacher is also a person who is unwilling to be lonely.

Zhu Youxiao said: "Sir, Gao Yi, if Xiao Wang really accomplishes great things, he will send him off with the golden platform!" The two looked at each other and laughed, and talked about history for a while. Today's course was over. Wen Zhenmeng stood up and said goodbye, promising to come again tomorrow. Zhu Youxiao sent Master Wen to the gate, watched Master Wen go away before returning to the palace as he returned to the palace.

I finally took this first step today. Everything was difficult at the beginning. Zhu Youjian believed that since fate chose him, this life would not be wasted.
