Ding Baiying lay in his arms and whispered to him.
"How's your plan going?"
"It's not bad. His Majesty summoned King Xin tonight. It should be somewhat effective."
"That's good, I can't help you much in this regard. Let Ding Xiu and the others do more. Also, you should be optimistic about the one under your command named Ling Yunkai. Recently, Ding Xiu has been following him and going to Chunfeng Tower to teach every day.
Sifang, all the disciples I trained with so much effort have been led astray by your people."
Lu Xiao: "...I'll try my best."
"As much as possible?"
"...I will strictly prohibit it. Ding Xiu can't go to that kind of place again."
Ding Baiying rolled her eyes at him and lay back in his arms.
"Those people under your command, except senior brother, the one named Shen Lian is also a frequent visitor to the Jiaoshi Square. I really can't tell. Unfortunately, I thought he was a gentleman. I want to reconcile him and Ding Chong.
It turned out to be this kind of person. Are all you men like this?"
"No, won't I just go?"
"real?"
"Really, when have you ever seen me go to a place like that?"
"Does that mean I've been there before I've seen it?"
Lu Xiao: "...You said Shen Lian, he actually has his own reasons. He didn't go to Jiaoshifang just to see the girl...well, actually it's almost the same. That is, one of them is him.
acquaintance."
"Tell me about it."
Ding Baiying became interested instantly. It seemed that women were always interested in this kind of thing.
"The girl's name is Zhou Miaotong. In the early years, Shen Lian personally captured his whole family and sent her to the priest's office. Shen Lian has always blamed himself for this. He was secretly looking after her. I heard that Shen Lian went to her room
, do nothing, just sit on the chair. Sitting there lasts all night.”
"It seems that Shen Lian is not bad, at least he is kind and righteous."
"You don't blame him for hurting that girl?"
"That's not his fault, it's the court, the emperor, and the world that are wrong. And, aren't you changing all of this?"
Just when Lu Xiao and Ding Baiying were talking quietly to each other, King Xin was reading the file, kneeling on the ground.
He didn't know how long he had been kneeling. He only knew that his legs had long been numb. But King Xin didn't care about this. In fact, he didn't feel any physical discomfort at all now. All his energy,
They were all put in those files.
At this time, King Xin's eyes were red, his face was pale, and his whole person looked like his faith had collapsed. He mechanically put down the file in his hands with both hands, and picked up another one numbly. Then the luster in his eyes dimmed again.
When Lu Xiao said to Tianqi, he meant to drug everyone in the court to create conditions for subsequent changes. However, Lu Xiao still ignored that the thinking of an emperor was different from that of normal people. Tianqi did not choose to do anything to him.
The court administered a powerful drug, but he piled all this directly on King Xin's head. He chose to give King Xin a powerful drug!!
Lu Xiao understands Tianqi's operation, and he does not want to cause this great purge while he is in office. Because that will undoubtedly destroy his reputation. Although in Lu Xiao's view, that kind of reputation after death does not matter at all.
But again, the emperor's thinking is completely different from that of ordinary people.
But fortunately, Tianqi also didn't want the old Zhu family's dynasty to be destroyed. Therefore, he planned to let King Xin, the future Chongzhen, do this.
Lu Xiao didn't have any opinion on this. The only opinion he had was whether it was a bit too hard!
At ten o'clock in the morning, Tianqi returned to his study room after a restful sleep. Then he saw King Xin Zhu Youjian still kneeling where he was.
Tianqi didn't let him get up, but walked straight over and sat on the chair. He picked up a bowl of porridge and asked while drinking.
"How's it going? Have you finished reading?"
Only then did Zhu Youjian notice that the emperor was coming. He saluted quickly, his movements stiff as a walking zombie.
Seeing this, Tianqi asked again.
"Let me ask you, have you finished reading?"
"Oh...I've finished reading. I've finished reading. Return to Your Majesty. I've finished reading."
"After reading it, let's talk about it. What do you think?"
Zhu Youjian was silent again. He glanced at the files at a loss, and then asked in a trembling tone.
"May I ask Your Majesty, are all these true?"
"More or less, these things were collected by Luo Yangxing of the Jinyiwei command room over the years. In order to blackmail the ministers and ensure his own position, he probably also wants to become the second Wei Zhongxian."
"...How is it possible? How is it possible? There is no one available for civil and military affairs in the entire dynasty? This is impossible. How could there be such a group of people in the court of the Ming Dynasty?"
"Is that all? After seeing so much, this is what you thought of?"
"No, no, Your Majesty. These people should be killed, they should be killed! Your Majesty, please issue an order to purge the court! I will personally cut these disloyal and unjust people into pieces!!"
At this time, King Xin had disheveled hair and looked like a ghost. He was muttering filial curses on those courtiers.
Tianqi believed that he was sincere at this time. Looking at history, we can also know that although Chongzhen was a fool, he really loved the Ming Dynasty and was willing to die for this dynasty. But those ministers...
Historically, he had never received an imperial education, and was deceived by a group of ministers into nowhere. He even dared to believe Yuan Chonghuan's five-year Ping Liao campaign.
To be honest, according to the situation of the Ming Dynasty at that time, even if Bai Qi, Li Jing, Wei Qing, and Huo Qubing were brought in, they might not be able to achieve peace in five years. Because of the situation in Liaodong, it was not possible to send just one or two senior officials.
It can be reversed. If the root is rotten, no matter who you send, it will be in vain.
"Killing must be done. But after killing, who will handle the government affairs? There is a severe drought in the north and refugees are everywhere. Who will provide relief and who will put down the rebellion? The situation in Liaodong is getting worse day by day. Who will stabilize Liaodong?"
Zhu Youjian was stunned by a series of questions. When had he thought about these questions? He thought that as long as he became the emperor, everything would be a matter of one sentence. But he hasn't become the emperor yet.
I started to feel the pressure.
The country is suffering from internal and external troubles. All the ministers in the DPRK and China have second thoughts. The situation is so complicated that Zhu Youjian just thought about it for a moment and felt that the future is dark. There are no effective ideas at all.
"Look, you don't understand anything. How dare I leave the country in your hands?"
Zhu Youjian trembled all over and looked at Tianqi in disbelief. But Tianqi just waved his hand and asked him to stand up.
