Chapter 542 Sold cleanly(2/2)
Those who dared to confront the emperor have left their names in history, such as Cao Cao and his son, Sima Zhao and his son, Wei Zheng, and Bao Zheng.
For the first time since time travel, Lin Tailai felt a powerless sense of humiliation, but he could only bury this feeling of humiliation in his heart.
At this moment, Lin Tailai understood firsthand what absolute monarchy meant.
In the past two years, Lin Tailai had become accustomed to tyrannizing others, and suddenly encountered the feeling of being tyrannized. It was really annoying from the bottom of his heart.
Facing the emperor's anger, the academicians did not dare to speak easily and quickly switched to the mode of "it is better to be silent than to speak a thousand words".
Anyway, it was Lin Tailai who the emperor was angry with, not them.
But the emperor would ask questions by name, and said to Wang Jiaping:
"Mr. Wang! You just asked why I summoned you? I will tell you clearly now!
My original intention is to agree with you on the time for the appointment of the eldest brother as the prince, tentatively scheduled for next winter.
In addition, there have been many discussions among the court officials recently, asking the eldest brother to come out to study, and he has long been educated by Yu!
I then thought that there is no better person in the court than Lin Tailai who is both civilized and military-minded, and I would like to invite Lin Tailai to teach Brother Xi!"
Several academicians looked at each other in shock. They couldn't believe a word of what the emperor just said.
The original intention was to discuss the date for the appointment of the crown prince, and the original intention was to invite Lin Tai to teach the eldest son of Emperor Xi.
The emperor could make up random things that didn't happen, and no one else could refute it anyway.
At the same time, Shen Shixing also had a premonition that some situations were going to get out of control.
As the chief minister, the biggest doubt I felt was why the emperor spoke to Wang Jiaping?
Under normal circumstances, if the emperor wants to express his position, he should say it to his chief minister!
And Wang Jiaping is only the fourth-ranked bachelor, and there are three more in front of him!
"You all know what I mean!" the emperor continued to say to Wang Jiaping: "But Lin Tailai has committed such a heinous crime. How can you teach me how to use him?"
Among all the bachelors, Wang Jiaping, who had the deepest connections with the Qingliu forces, was the one who was most motivated to participate in the struggle for the foundation of the country.
Because only when there is turmoil can he, the fourth child, have a chance to make progress. If the situation is stable, he will always be at the bottom.
It's not that Wang Si is so obsessed with power, but that he really can't stand the three corpses in front of him!
After hearing the emperor's question, Mr. Wang Sige felt that his opportunity had come.
It doesn’t matter whether the emperor’s words are true or false, and you don’t need to tell the truth or falsehood to engage in politics, as long as you can see opportunities!
Then Wang Jiaping said to him: "Lin Tailai's crime is extremely serious, and your majesty will not punish him too much!
But you must not stop eating because of choking, or give up your original intention just because of Lin Tailai's sin.
The matter of enthroning the East Palace is a national ceremony, how can we give up because of Lin Tailai's sin?"
Damn it! Everyone was shocked. Wang Jiaping's words were like selling Lin Tailai directly, and sold them cleanly!
What Wang Jiaping meant was that as long as the emperor made progress on national issues, it didn't matter how he killed Lin Tailai.
Lin Tailai, who was good at guessing people's hearts, was also very confused at this moment. What did the emperor want to do?
He is just a minor conflict, not at the focus of the country's problems, and his political status is far worse than that of a bachelor. Why does the emperor always bring the topic to himself?
It seems that he will not give up until he kills himself. Could it be that his aura of nine-yuan auspiciousness, like love, will also deteriorate and expire?
Or is it that Concubine Zheng is a vixen and the emperor was fascinated by the vixen?
But judging from historical data, although Emperor Wanli doted on Concubine Zheng, he was still not the kind of faint-hearted emperor who had no principles and no bottom line in front of women.
For example, once Concubine Zheng tried to go to Emperor Wanli, or the Chief of Ceremonies installed two trusted eunuchs, but the two eunuchs were directly killed by Emperor Wanli with a stick.
Emperor Wanli was very satisfied, and Wang Jiaping's answer was completely expected.
After all, Lin Tailai has never been merciless in killing people from the Qingliu forces. If there was a chance, the Qingliu forces would definitely not be merciful to Lin Tailai either!
As expected, Wang Jiaping had no intention of safeguarding the overall interests of the civil servant class towards Lin Tailai, who was extremely hostile to him.
What's more, there is a more meaningful interface, after all, it is for the sake of the country!
Emperor Wanli sighed: "Eldest brother is young and weak. I want to observe him for another year and register him again at the winter solstice next year.
But in the inner palace, Lin Tai must be used to calm Concubine Zheng's anger and make me feel better.
Mr. Xu and Mr. Wang, what do you think?"
This time the emperor asked about the second assistant Xu Guo and the third assistant Wang Xijue, but still did not ask about Shen Da.
After Xu Er and Wang San thought for a while, they also replied: "I believe that Lin Tailai's serious crime should not affect the country's grand ceremony."
Zhang Cheng, the eunuch in charge of the ceremony, curled his lips. This group of civil servants was not as united as the eunuch who was the chief of the ceremony.
Shen Shoufu felt helpless. After all, Lin Tailai was so popular.
