It had long been seen that Empress Dowager Li only believed in Zhang Juzheng, and even lacked confidence in other ministers in the court.

Not only targeting Shen Shixing, but anyone who raises this time will be questioned.

From a historical perspective, Shen Shixing is still a person who is good at doing things and is responsible.

At least he was Zhang Juzheng's confidant. At least after Emperor Wanli confiscated Zhang Juzheng's home, he was one of the two ministers who dared to ask the emperor to give Zhang Juzheng's mother an additional favor (the other was Pan Jixun, an expert in river management).

The temporary agent of Shen Shixing should be the most suitable choice at the moment.

In fact, Zhang Ju was dying and was very worried about finding the successor to the Prime Minister.

Judging from the conversation with Zhang Juzheng, he felt like Empress Dowager Li, and was not very satisfied with the other two cabinet ministers in the cabinet.

In fact, he did not hand over the position of Prime Minister to any of the two cabinet ministers.

It was not handed over to Zhang Siwei or Shen Shixing, but wanted to hand it over to Pan Sheng, who had already retired and lived at home. At the same time, it promoted Xu Guo, and two of them, Yu Youding, to the cabinet.

Although history has proved that Zhang Juzheng did not promote Shen Shixing to take over him.

But from the perspective of later generations, Zhu Yiliu believes that Zhang Juzheng's ideas must be different from Empress Dowager Li's ideas.

Empress Dowager Li did not believe in Shen Shixing, but Zhang Juzheng should be considering the current situation.

First of all, Zhang Juzheng definitely does not want to hand over the position of chief minister to Zhang Siwei, otherwise he would not have to go through a lot of trouble and just give it to him.

After all, Zhang Siwei is the most qualified person to take over as the chief minister.

But if you pass the second auxiliary Zhang Siwei and hand it over to Shen Shixing, it will be detrimental to the stability of the cabinet or the current situation. Zhang Siwei is angry and finds fault all day long, it is not a big deal.

Therefore, in order to balance the tension in the cabinet, Zhang Juzheng started a new job.

Obviously, Pan Sheng is not Zhang Juzheng's ideal candidate for the prime minister, so he had to do it.

If Zhang Juzheng was asked to choose one of the six people from Zhang Siwei, Shen Shixing, Xu Guo, Yu Youding, Pan Sheng, and Wang Xijue who later entered the cabinet as the chief minister, without considering the current situation, I believe Zhang Juzheng would choose Shen Shixing.

Of course, history cannot be assumed.

The real history is that on the way to Beijing, Zhang Juzheng died.

As a result, Pan Sheng had no chance, and the position of chief minister naturally fell on Zhang Siwei's head.

Now, Zhu Yiliu is involved in this history and will definitely try his best to prevent Zhang Siwei from coming to power.

Because as soon as Zhang Siwei came to power, he attempted to overthrow Zhang Juzheng's political propositions to consolidate his position as chief minister by denying it.

Not to mention Zhang Siwei's ability, whether he can manage this country well can't let him succeed, just his short-sighted gaze and his approach to attacking others and raising himself.

But at this time, Zhang Siwei, as the secondary assistant, had higher status and qualifications than Shen Shixing, which is an undisputed fact.

Empress Dowager Li did not believe in Shen Shixing, and also considered that Shen Shixing was indeed inferior to Zhang Siwei in the cabinet.

In response to this, Zhu Yiliu did not rush to defend himself, but smiled at Fu Dahai and said, "Eunuch Fu, wait outside first and call you later. I will give you a big surprise."

No, no, no, no... Fu Dahai refused ten thousand times in his heart. What else can Prince Lu’s surprise happen? No matter how big the surprise is, he dare not take it!

The more friendly Zhu Yili smiled, the more guilty Fu Dahai felt.

My body began to tremble.

But in front of Empress Dowager Li, he could only pretend to be a grandson and turn around and go out obediently.

Zhu Yili smiled and reminded again: "Eunuch Fu, don't eavesdrop on me again this time! Eavesdropping on me, I'm too lazy to care about you; but if I eavesdrop on my mother's words, I'll see that I won't deal with you."

"I dare not." Fu Dahai replied, thinking why didn't you care? Prince Lu, just do it hard. He said so beautifully in front of the empress. He kicked me twice, but he still owed ten feet.

Fu Dahai went out.

Zhu Yiliu returned to the topic just now: "Mom, it turns out that there are really people who are given guidance from Guanyin Bodhisattva. I am afraid that I will remember it wrong."

Empress Dowager Li frowned: "But this matter is difficult to operate!"

Zhu Yiliu encouraged: "Mom, Mr. Zhang is still here, what's the problem? Just say one thing about Mom or the emperor. Shen Shixing Pavilion Master acted as the chief assistant for the time being, Mr. Zhang is still the chief assistant, and Zhang Siwei Pavilion Master is the second assistant."

"I don't know what your prince means..."

"Mom, the emperor must have no objection." Zhu Yiliu was so confident that his brother was eager to replace Zhang Juzheng at this time.

Although Zhang Juzheng and Shen Shixing were both teachers of Emperor Wanli, Zhang Juzheng has always been too strict, while Shen Shixing is gentle and elegant.

Just talking about the spiritual distance, Emperor Wanli is undoubtedly closer to Shen Shixing.

This can be seen from Shen Shixing's subsequent eight-year career as the prime minister.

Empress Dowager Li pondered: "It's important. Rong Niang thinks about it again, think about it again..."

"Mom, you have to make a decision as soon as possible. It's only a day to delay it. Mr. Zhang's illness cannot be delayed."

"Why is Li suddenly so keen?" Empress Dowager Li asked suddenly.

Zhu Yiliu did not think: "Mom, first, I am inspired by Guanyin Bodhisattva, but I dare not neglect it. Second, I feel sorry for Mr. Zhang. Besides, Mr. Zhang is sick and I am so worried. Of course, I have to give advice to my mother, right?"

Empress Dowager Li nodded, still with a tangled look, and then murmured: "I wonder what Mr. Zhang means?"

"Mom, Mr. Zhang is so sick now. Nothing is useful to think about it! The body is the capital of the revolution, and the most urgent task is to reduce stress and recuperate."

Zhu Yiliu continued with his three-inch tongue:

"Besides, mom, you might as well imagine, if Mr. Zhang chose a temporary acting chief minister from the cabinet minister, who would he choose?"

Seeing that Empress Dowager Li was still pondering, Zhu Yili reminded again: "Mom, you were worried that Master Shen was too gentle and humble just now, but isn't that exactly what Mr. Zhang needs?"

"Mr. Zhang is seriously ill. If you find a powerful minister to temporarily take over the position of chief minister at this time, Mr. Zhang may be worried! Do you still remember why Mr. Zhang promoted Zhang Han, a peacemaker, to serve as the Minister of Personnel?"

Empress Dowager Li never knew? The Minister of Personnel was the head of the six ministries and was called "Heavenly Official". Zhang Juzheng promoted Zhang Han in an extraordinary way just to be able to control it.

The people she and Zhang Juzheng have experienced along the way, of course, understand Zhang Juzheng's intentions.

If we look at it from this perspective, it is still appropriate to let Shen Shixing temporarily act as the chief assistant.

Zhang Juzheng needs someone who is "obedient".

As the behind-the-scenes driver of Zhang Juzheng, she also needs such a person. At present, she needs first and ability second.

Although Empress Dowager Li's expression seemed to be eased, she was still hesitating. Zhu Yili felt that she could not force her too quickly.

He smiled and said, "Mom, why don't you relax for a while and give Fu Dahai to your child?"

Empress Dowager Li said "yes".

Zhu Yiliu excitedly opened the door of the study and greeted enthusiastically: "Eunuch Fu, I want to give you a big surprise, you can come in."

Fu Dahai, who was waiting across the study, saw Zhu Yili's head sticking out and waved to him, and was shocked. Mom!

His heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and he felt like he was about to jump away from his body at any time. His feet were also like lead injections, and he struggled.

When Fu Dahai walked to the door, Zhu Yili smiled and said, "Happy, I said I would give you a big surprise. Could it be that I will lie to you?"

Fu Dahai smiled even worse than crying.

After entering the house, Zhu Yiliu said, "Mom, say it."

Empress Dowager Li didn't turn around and said bluntly: "Eunuch Fu, from now on, you will follow King Lu."

Fu Dahai's face changed drastically, and he asked in a trembling voice: "Mom, Empress, what do you mean?"

Zhu Yiliu snatched: "How do you take this business manager? Why can't you understand? That is to say, from now on, you Fu Dahai is my Lu Wang. Do you understand wherever I go?"

Fu Dahai's legs suddenly became weak, and his eyes became dark. With a thud, he fell to the ground and fainted.
