Chapter 488 The sorrow of the lonely minister
Faced with Mao Wenlong's repeated cross-examinations full of anger, a small official suddenly, with his conscience still intact, hid his face and ran away crying.
So, taking this opportunity, all the civil and military personnel hid their faces and left together.
As a result, what was originally a grand court gathering suddenly and unexpectedly broke up, leaving only the aloof emperor, Wei Zhongxian beside him, and the lonely Mao Wenlong.
Gao Panlong also hid his face and walked away. He couldn't do it without leaving. Mao Wenlong was so powerful. Every word he said was full of justice and truth. It was all about the heart, making people speechless and shameless.
right.
When a group of civil and military officials fled in embarrassment, Zhao Nanxing suddenly remembered, no, what is the purpose of all of us today? It is to defeat Mao Wenlong. How come Mao Wenlong was not defeated in this battle, but instead damaged the Donglin flag?
I lost several official positions in Donglin, but I haven't talked about the serious matter yet.
But looking at Mao Wenlong's tall and majestic figure standing on the high steps of the main hall, Zhao Nanxing couldn't help but tremble. Looking at his fellow party members who rushed out of the Meridian Gate in embarrassment, Zhao Nanxing finally gave up. He could only
He could only flick his sleeves and walk away with high spirits, showing his unwillingness to admit defeat to Mao Wenlong.
The emperor left, the courtiers left, the nobles also left without hesitation, and even his uncle left. On the huge square in front of Jianji Palace, facing the Jinshui Bridge, I was left alone.
Now Mao Wenlong felt that he was a savage beast in the eyes of his enemy Dong Lin, and a lonely man in the eyes of the timid Xungui. Everyone involuntarily avoided him and abandoned him.
Behind him are the ruins of the three main halls, on which countless ant-like workers are cleaning up the ashes of the fire. In the near future, the three main halls symbolizing the majestic imperial power will once again stand there, once again demonstrating the supremacy of imperial power to the world.
And in this huge palace square, I am alone and alone.
When he walked out, he saw Xungui hurried away, saw Donglin slowly gathering together, saw them whispering to each other, and looking at him from time to time. They must be discussing today's situation in the court.
He must be thinking about how to deal with himself again.
He raised his head and looked at the white clouds and dogs in the sky.
The sky of the Ming Dynasty is so high that it is shocking, so shocking that you feel helpless at all. There are white clouds floating on it, driven by a chaotic wind, changing inexplicable and wonderful shapes, and you will look old for a while.
The old man may be a naive boy at one time, but more likely he may be a wolf, tiger or leopard at one time, or a hound or ghost at another time. They may collide and bite at one time, or gather in groups at another time, but under the huge sunshine,
But it suddenly disappeared without a trace.
Mao Wenlong had a ridiculous feeling that the various beasts, tigers and wolves transformed by the white clouds were actually under the control of the supreme red sun. During the transformation of the white clouds, the red sun was watching you play from above. Once he thought,
Or you are simply tired. It's just a breeze or a little warmth, and you will be wiped out in the blink of an eye.
I lowered my head and no longer wanted to look at the white clouds that I thought were changing. What I saw was the long figure drawn out by the sun under the big sun.
A person, a figure, nothing else, looking so lonely and lonely.
The ministers' footsteps were far away, and he was left alone, with a lonely shadow accompanying him. At this time, Mao Wenlong truly felt how sad he was, sad that he couldn't help himself, and sad that he was insignificant.
I also began to regret that I had no reason to return to the court. I was on Phi Island, that is, the king of Phi Island. All matters were decided by myself without anyone's interference.
But he came back to this court with full expectations. The fundamental purpose was to get the support of the emperor who was fairly fair, and to get as much support as possible from Wei Zhongxian, who was still doing something for the Ming Dynasty.
The result? I didn’t find support, but what I got was being used as a gun by those two people.
In fact, I subconsciously recognized that I was being used as a gun. After all, I lived in the system, in this evil feudal society, in a damn feudal society dominated by Donglin scholar-bureaucrats and controlled by the imperial power. In order to
To achieve one's own goal, it's okay to be used as a gun by others. It's okay to say that you can't help yourself. But today, my gun performed well, but what did I get?
There was not even a word of reluctance after the meeting.
Looking at the square at the end, I was alone, and the emperor and Wei Zhongxian seemed to have disappeared from this world out of thin air.
Looking at his lonely shadow, stretching out his hands and looking at his empty palms, Mao Wenlong was confused. Could it be that his destiny, no matter how hard he struggled, was still empty in his hands? Could it be that he had been suffering all this time?
Is the struggling desire to control one's own destiny still empty?
Forget it, we have come this far. In this feudal era, the parties are as big as the sky, and the imperial power is as big as the sky. No matter how the emperor plays with himself, he has to stand up for it. You have to be grateful and thank the Lord for his kindness. "I
I hate this feudal society so much." Mao Wenlong gritted his teeth at this time and secretly thought. The joy and excitement he felt when he first traveled through time had long since disappeared. The joy and excitement of finally being able to change a person's fate and thereby change the fate of a nation. Now all that is left is
There is only depression after depression.
"Since you think you are smart and have embarked on the road of breaking up with Donglin, since things are like this, then, let's be a lonely minister, a lonely minister who hugs the emperor's thigh." After Mao Wenlong complained about himself, he suddenly
Some understanding: "Even if the fate of the lonely minister is very tragic, now that we have reached this point, it is too late to regret it. In fact, after the emperor hinted and Wei Zhongxian made it clear that he did not want to be a lonely minister, he still wanted to be with Dong
Lin Yituan can't be harmonious anymore. If that's the case, it's not that he is thankless for his hard work. It's not that he is a bad person inside and outside, but both sides are definitely attacking him together and leaving him without a place to die." Thinking of this, Mao Wenlong had an idea.
A feeling of relief. Whether it is voluntary or forced to this point step by step, regret is of no use, so just face it head on. As long as you insist on it, as long as you use it properly, Donglin is not monolithic, and the eunuchs are not monolithic.
It's not just a trick, the emperor is still young, so let yourself fight your way through this weird court situation. In the end, it depends on whether you use me as a gun or I use you as a gun.
