Chapter 221: Playing with Monkeys and Being Played by Monkeys


Jiang Chuhan couldn't help but thank Emperor Lao'er for giving him this opportunity, and he could see with his own eyes the scheming Wen Shoufu and the peak duel with Zhou Zhongchen, who took the lead.Although I don't want to say that I am fortunate to have three lives, it is definitely an opportunity to observe and learn.Of course, at the same time, he was also deeply terrified by Emperor Chongzhen's accurate judgment and mastery of his subordinates.He remembered that Emperor Fang Cai said: I will let you watch a monkey show to see if it is fun.Could it be that such a high-level contest is like a monkey show in his eyes?

Not to mention the Jiang people who look up to the mountains, just talk about Zhou Yanru's righteous words when the emperor watched the chapter: "Wen Shoufu's son Wen Zhengtao embezzled a number of public funds, I dare to ask Wen Shoufu, when the treasury is empty, Wen Zhengtao openly embezzled public funds, what is this!"

”Chongzhen listened, closed the music in his hand and said lightly: "Wen Shoufu, Zhou Zhongchen questioned you, answer it." ”Facing Zhou Yanru's sharp sword that was forced to his throat, Wen Tiren seemed unhurried, and he bowed to the emperor: "Lord Zhou is to blame, it is the old minister who has lost his eyes, and it is really difficult to get rid of it!"

The old minister has been thinking about it again and again recently, and he always feels that the crux of the problem lies in the old son, the emperor trusts him, and adds thousands of graces to him. ”After a pause, he said with a sad face: "But in fact, Wen Zhengtao is hard to shirk the responsibility for the emptiness of the treasury now, and there is no room for quibbles!"

”As soon as this remark came out, the whole hall was shocked!

Zhou Yanru was stunned, the emperor, who had been keeping his eyes open, squinted, and Zhou Yanru, who had been squinting, opened his eyes.Even Jiang Chuhan, who was behind the curtain, was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth, what medicine did this old man take wrong?

Do you think you're done too slowly?

Or do you want to pick a pick?

Emperor Chongzhen looked at Wen Tiren, the elder of the Four Dynasties, this old man was too old, although he was an old man when he first saw him, but he was really not so old and terrible, so he couldn't bear to say: "What you see, what should you do?"

”"Investigate it strictly and treat it severely!"

Wen Tiren cut the railway.This makes people inevitably think that the old man is going to lose his pawn and protect the car.Emperor Chongzhen frowned, as if smiling: "Wen Zhengtao is your son, is Shoufu really going to kill his relatives today?"

”Wen Tiren said with a sure face: "In Weichen's heart, only the emperor and Sheji, if they alarm the holy driver and disturb Sheji, even if they are their own sons, they will never show favoritism!"

”Emperor Chongzhen saw Wen Tiren's sonorous words, loud and loud, and had the meaning of sending Wen Zhengtao to the guillotine with his own hands, he couldn't help but be confused, he knew that Wen Zhengtao was Wen Tiren's favorite son, if he folded him, it was not as simple as losing a son, but it meant that a big flag fell, it was easy to cause panic, and then there was a scene of the tree falling down, so Wen Tiren's theory from which angle to consider, will be able to keep Zhengtao warm without loss.But now, does he really want to tear his eyes?

Did I really misunderstand my old chief?

The authorities are fascinated, but Jiang Chuhan, who is hidden behind the curtain, has a rapid heartbeat, and he has to cover his mouth to hold back to cheer for Wen Shoufu!

Combined with Wu Mengming's description of His Majesty Chongzhen's character, Jiang Chuhan dared to play eighty percent of the guarantees, this time Emperor Chongzhen was also played by monkeys at the same time as playing monkeys!

The reason why Emperor Chongzhen can devote his limited life to limited joy is because in the so many years since the departure of the previous prime minister Qian Shisheng, none of the ministers can guess his mind, and no one is his opponent, and they are all played by him.Jiang Chuhan, who knows a little about the life of Emperor Chongzhen, knows very well that the deceased emperor Chongzhen is actually a mighty Ming monarch!

Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen can proudly say: The country is not because of mediocrity, but because of natural disasters.But as Lao Tzu of his belief said: its government is boring, its people are pure, its government is inspected, and its people are lacking, which means that there is a generous boss above, and the people below are more honest; If you are replaced by a smart and strict leader who leaves no room for error, the people below will learn to be smart and cunning.This is actually very understandable, because ministers have to serve the emperor well in order to live a good life, if the emperor is better served, the ministers don't have to bother so much, just work hard.But if it is replaced by an emperor like Chongzhen, who is talented and intelligent, good at cheating, and always makes you unable to find the way, everyone can't help but serve, otherwise who will give them officials.There is a way that three stinkers have beaten Zhuge Liang, and the emperor has only one, and he has not changed people for so many years, but the ministers are like a river, endless, there are always some geniuses, after a long time of experience accumulation, gradually figure out his set, and become a person who can fool the emperor and even use the emperor.At present, there is only one person who can do this, and that is Wen Tiren.But it is conceivable that Zhou Yanru, who has been silently observing them, will also write his name in the near future.and Jiang Chuhan, who is smarter and older than scheming, has also realized this and began to observe carefully.In the long future, I believe that there will be many smart people who will notice this change and join the ranks of not being tricked.In fact, now, the era of people playing monkeys is over, and now everyone is a monkey!

You feel that you are watching a monkey, but in fact, you don't know that you are also being played by a monkey, although the reason is a bit twisted, but this is what it means.Zhou Zhongchen wanted to seize power and fight Wen Tiren for the Jinyiwei party, Wen Shoufu naturally would not sit still, so with a wave of the flag, he set up a lot of eyeliner in Zhou Zhongchen's private residence, watching his daily actions day and night, and knew his every move well.Having known about today's deliberations for a long time, the opponent will start with Wen Zhengtao and launch an all-out offensive against his own side.Wen Tiren knows very well that the Manchu Dynasty is waiting to see Wen Zhengtao's jokes, he is now like a big banner of the Dongchang party, if he is cut down, the hearts of the Dongchang party will be scattered, and it will be difficult to resist the other party's offensive.This is simply an impossible task for others, you know, the emperor hates this crime of bullying the king the most.But Zhou Yanru's methods of harming people, after all, are not as good as Wen Tiren's perfection, he is too anxious, if he doesn't involve Wen Zhengtao first, but just pulls out the fact that the treasury money is torn out, then the extremely smart Emperor Chongzhen will naturally think of this big joke.In that case, Emperor Chongzhen would hate Wen Zhengtao, who made him lose face in front of his ancestors, and after a while, he would withdraw him for a reason, and if he didn't attack Wen Zhengtao directly, even Wen Tiren would defend himself, and he could only watch this flag being pulled out, so this was the safest way.But now that Zhou Yanru has involved Wen Zhengtao, especially the embezzlement of silver, things have changed for the better, and it has become a party struggle between factories and guards!

In fact, his methods are very simple, the emperor is hesitating, then I will first follow the emperor's will to slander Wen Zhengtao, and the body that scolds him seems to be not a thousand knives to punish the nine clans can not vent their hatred, if the method is used on the general boss, then Wen Zhengtao will definitely die.But our Emperor Chongzhen is not an ordinary person, his melancholy temperament attacks, when he is the first rat at both ends, he likes to wring dry with people, you say to the west, I want to go east, you say to drive chickens, I want to drive ducks this temper.This is also caused by the melancholy spirit that Emperor Chongzhen himself did not perceive.It was this melancholy temperament that led to the fact that in history, he killed his children, wives and concubines with his own hands before hanging himself in the country.On the contrary, if Wen Tiren wanted to attack a person, he would not first slander him according to the emperor's wishes as he is now, and it seems that he would not be able to relieve the emperor's hatred without inflicting capital punishment.When the emperor thought it was too much and gave birth to an unbearable heart, his tone changed and he spoke flatteringly, so that Emperor Chongzhen listened to it comfortably, and suddenly turned big things into small things and small things.This is one of Wen Tiren's secret weapons against Chongzhen, and sure enough, Emperor Chongzhen unknowingly fell into the trap.Having made up his mind, Emperor Chongzhen slowly got up, walked down the imperial steps, sat on Wen Tiren's brocade pier, looked at Wen Tiren who was kneeling on the ground and said, "Old Shoufu is a little unkind, right?"

Although Wen Zhengtao has some sins, he has also made a lot of contributions in the past two years, if he kills him, it will make the people of the world chill, and there is no one who is willing to die for me?

”Wen Tiren couldn't help but be secretly happy when he saw the emperor in his set, but he didn't dare to show a little, and sighed with a face: "The emperor is as broad-minded as the sea."

It is really a benevolent emperor who has never been seen in the past, and the courtiers can serve His Majesty, which is really a blessing from the cultivation of three lives. ”He first sent out a high hat, and his expression turned to shame just right, and he examined himself: "That Wen Zhengtao is not completely embezzling the treasury silver taels, but a few days ago, in order to repair food and expand the palace, he embezzled a little, who knew that the world was shaken, and the treasury could not allocate silver taels, so he felt deeply remorseful, and wanted to ask to see His Majesty to ask for guilt, but he didn't dare to disturb the saint, so he went to Weichen to forgive his sins." ”Saying that, he squeezed out a few tears, with the wrinkled old face, quite a sense of sadness with old tears, and listened to him choked up: "Weichen is not as good as Your Majesty, not only did he not think of the merits he had made, but also blindly blamed him, and even angrily spoke to each other, completely ignoring the relationship between father and son. ”Do a full set of plays, and after scolding, you have to cry and ask for punishment.After all, it's an old man, even a dog has feelings, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't bear to say: "Don't you help Shoufu up?"

”Wang Chengen and Yao Minggong hurriedly stepped forward and helped Wen Shoufu, who was crying miserably, to help him up, Emperor Chongzhen got up and pointed to the brocade stool, and the two helped Wen Shoufu to sit down.
