"Your dear, please explain this to me?" Emperor Tianqi looked at Zhou Jiamo with a weird face, and knew that the temperature was almost the same, and said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, I believe that with Your Majesty's intelligence, I have understood the meaning of this passage a long time ago." Zhou Jiamo was not stupid either. After many hardships, this person was already much more slippery. His ambition to serve the country when he was young had been eroded a lot, but after talking to Emperor Tianqi, the revenge in his heart seemed to be ignited again, and his dream when he was young seemed to wake up again. Although this was the case, he still held the reserve of middle-aged people and continued to practice Tai Chi with Emperor Tianqi.

The meaning of Zhou Jiamo's words is naturally understood by Emperor Tianqi. He just told himself that he had already understood his words. Just say whatever he had! Is it interesting to go around like this?

He nodded slowly, and Emperor Tianqi said in a deep voice: "To borrow a sentence from Zhuge Liang, Yizhou is exhausted, and this is the true autumn of survival. Shu Kingdom is exhausted, but Zhuge Wuhou devoted himself to his work until his death. Now our Ming Dynasty is about to collapse, and the country is full of holes. But at this time, what are these ministers of the Ming Dynasty doing?" At this time, the anger suppressed in Emperor Tianqi's heart seemed to have found a place to vent. Emperor Tianqi's voice kept echoing in the empty hall. Shocking this hall also shocked Zhou Jiamo's body and mind, and his body was trembling slightly. If you meet a wise master, you can have no regrets in your life.

"They are fighting for power and profit, and digging the corners of the Ming Dynasty. Have they ever thought that when the nest is destroyed, how can they have a complete egg? Or for them, it is just a change of master, but where have you read the books of sages for so many years? The words that are full of aloof words on the lips are not enough. It is in line with that sentence, there are thousands of words in the pen, but there is no plan in your heart. Wen Tianxiang said before his death, what is the so-called reading of sages?" Emperor Tianqi suddenly looked like a madman, his eyes quickly became bloody due to anger, and he reached out to pull out the sword on his waist.

Emperor Tianqi pointed his sword at Zhou Jiamo, stared at him, and shouted loudly: "Are you an important minister of the Ming Dynasty? Would you like to revive the Ming Dynasty with me? If you are not sincere, I will destroy your nine clans. If you tell me at this time, you cannot, I will let you retire." At this time, Emperor Tianqi had already put the sword on Zhou Jiamo's neck, and had to conduct a test for ministers whom he could not be sure of. Zhou Jiamo was the first person to be tested by Emperor Tianqi. For such capable ministers, Emperor Tianqi was looking forward to it from the bottom of his heart, but if they were deeply involved in party struggles, they would not say anything practical, even if they could stick to their true hearts, it would be hard to say.

Zhou Jiamo did not expect that Emperor Tianqi would do such a thing. He couldn't help but look up at Emperor Tianqi, but what he saw was the angry eyes of Emperor Tianqi. Although it was an angry eyes, Zhou Jiamo saw a trace of trust and more hope. At this moment, he couldn't help but think of his dream of youth, and his bold words and ambitions to govern the country and pacify the world. Something was about to gush out of his heart.

He kowtowed his head to the ground with a trembling voice: "Kong said Chengren, Meng said he was righteous. I would like to be the front guard of Your Majesty, and I will never regret it even if I die."

Emperor Tianqi put away his sword, slowly helped Zhou Jiamo up, patted his shoulder and said, "You will not let me down, I will not let you down. If the Ming Dynasty falls to its country in the future, I hope you will be by my side."

"If that time comes, I will not be by Your Majesty's side. Although I cannot fight martial arts and literature cannot determine the world. But Your Majesty will lead me with the national soldiers, I will repay him with the national soldiers. At that time, I am willing to raise a three-foot green edge to kill you in the battle." Zhou Jiamo had already developed a belief in his heart that a scholar would die for his confidant. If he could meet such a king worthy of service in this life, why should he be willing to die? This may be the integrity of a literati, the backbone of a literati, and the backbone of a literati.

He patted Zhou Jiamo's shoulder vigorously, and Emperor Tianqi said hard: "If you have any ideas, let the officials do it, I will make the decision for you."

"Your Majesty, most of the ministers in the court have formed cliques for personal gain. If you want to clarify the administration of the government, the first step is to clarify the court and drive all these cliques for personal gain out of the court. Then select the virtuous and appoint the capable people to quickly clarify the administration of the government." Zhou Jiamo threw out his opinions. This was his experience of being an official for so many years. He had strong confidence in the emperor in front of him, and naturally he no longer had any reservations when speaking.

"I don't want to eliminate party disputes and clarify the administration of officials in one fell swoop, but it's not easy. The forces in the court are mixed and touching the whole body. After taking office, I can first select a group of capable and talented officials. Record all their abilities and send them to me. When the time is ripe, I will resolve party disputes and clarify the administration of officials in one fell swoop." Zhou Jiamo's opinion is naturally good, but it is easy to say but difficult to do! The Ming Dynasty has accumulated a long time of malpractice, and it is difficult to make a comeback. It is naturally impossible to achieve success in one step.

"Yes, I obey the order." Although Emperor Tianqi did not have his own way, Zhou Jiamo felt more at ease, because the emperor was a successful country. At this time, he felt more at ease and more motivated.

With joy and hope for the future, Zhou Jiamo left the Qianqing Palace. At this time, he seemed to have seen the revival of the Ming Dynasty. A powerful dynasty, a wise monarch, and his own generation of wise ministers will surely be famous in history.

After coming out of the Qianqing Palace, Zhou Jiamo met two people at the gate of the Forbidden City. Perhaps the two people were waiting for him, these two people were Yang Lian and Zuo Guangdou.

"Brother Zhou, I wonder what happened to Your Majesty summoning me?" Zuo Guangdou was quite impatient and asked impatiently when he saw Zhou Jiamo.

Zhou Jiamo knew that Emperor Tianqi's words were all confidant words and could not tell them to others, but he couldn't bear to deceive his friends, so he had to say, "Your Majesty asked me two questions."

"What's the problem?" Zuo Guangdou asked quickly, his eyes full of expectations, but he understood it better but was worried about gains and losses.

"The first question is what is the so-called reading of sages? The second question is what we are reading for?" After saying that, Zhou Jiamo left without looking back, leaving only Yang Lian and Zuo Guangdou, who were unknown.

After the two looked at each other, Zuo Guangdou's face was still full of mist. Yang Lian on the side had a hint of enlightenment and said thoughtfully: "Yes! Reading the books of sages, what's the matter?" After saying that, he ignored Zuo Guangdou's questioning and quickly walked towards Zhou Jiamo's footsteps.
