The brilliance of the sun shines warmly on the Forbidden City. It is already late August. The sky is high and the clouds are clear. The humid and hot south wind has also turned into a refreshing little north wind. However, the north wind at this time is not like that in winter.

The coolness only brings refreshment, driving away the remaining sultry heat of summer, and naturally makes people feel better.

The little eunuchs and maids were infected by the pleasant weather, and their steps became relaxed and joyful while walking. From time to time in the courtyard of the harem, there were strings of laughter like silver bells, and they also

I don't know which concubine it is. Empress Zhang, who controls the harem, does not show the seriousness of her mother's respect for the world. She does not reject this kind of wanton behavior that violates etiquette, and allows them to laugh rarely.

Tianqi originally wanted to do some carpentry work to relax his muscles and relax his mind and body, but for some reason, he became irritable and restless. He knocked two mortise and tenon joints crookedly and broke a bench. His younger brother was also awkward in his cooperation.

Twisted, it doesn’t work as expected anyway.

Carpentry requires a calm mind to make good things. This kind of irritable mood is not suitable for doing such a great thing, so Tianqi specially gave his brother a leave and ordered the little eunuch to give him 0 taels of silver.

He went to the street to relax and walk around.

After Zhu Youjian took the money from his brother, he solemnly said to his brother: "I am not going to the streets to play, but to experience the suffering of the people on my behalf."

Tianqi smiled again and patiently said to his younger brother: "Okay, okay, I know that our King Xin is the most considerate of the people, and I, the emperor, am just a fool. I need you, King Xin, to serve in private."

Make a private visit, hold up a sedan chair to complain about injustice, and make a blue sky."

Zhu Youjian nodded firmly: "If something like this happens, I will never stand idle."

Tianqi was very angry: "My little ancestor, you must not do this. People's grievances everywhere have jurisdiction. If you interfere in the middle, there will be countless censors and officials on my brother's desk."

I will be impeached by the memorial, then you will trick me." Looking at what he said about him, his brother still seemed indifferent, Tianqi had to tell the trusted eunuch around him: "Hurry up and find ten people, follow him, give me

I watched him."

Seeing his younger brother whizzing away with ten eunuchs, Tianqi still shouted loudly from behind: "You guys, remember, don't let my brother be bullied by others. If one of them is wrong, I will kill your whole family.

"

This is the true intention of Tianqi.

Seeing his younger brother whizzing away with a group of so-called evil slaves disguised as slaves, Tianqi's eyes showed not only doting but also envy.

What's the good thing about being this emperor? Every day, I'm troubled by countless inexplicable things. I can't do what I want to do. I'm also being crowded around by all kinds of people. And I can't get out of this imperial city at all. It's like a prison.

, but it’s just a little bigger than a prison.

He sighed and walked away. He originally wanted to relax, but unknowingly he walked to a courtyard door. When he raised his head, he found that he had returned to the imperial study room.

Tianqi sighed, this place was too small, so small that he had melted him into his subconscious. Now he didn't need anyone to guide him at all. He could walk to where he wanted to go with his eyes closed. This was not

A kind of showing off, but a kind of sadness.

Now that we have arrived at the entrance of the Imperial Study Room, there is no need to go anywhere else. We should do something today.

Standing at the door of the royal study, looking at the palace maids and eunuchs kneeling down to greet them, looking at the whirling willow tree in the yard, gently dancing in the autumn wind, I am always in a restless mood today. Why on earth is it? I used to work as a carpenter.

When he was in the house, he kept thinking about this question, but when he arrived at the door of the imperial study room, Emperor Tianqi got the answer.

It turns out that the news I wanted to get today was also the news I was most concerned about, and that was Mao Wenlong's movements.

Since having a private discussion with Ye Xianggao, Tianqi has realized that if he wants to keep his imperial power and maintain the rights he should have, he should do a good job of balancing the forces in the court as Ye Xianggao said.

The most important thing to do is to allow Donglin and the Eunuch Party to check and balance each other. After all, no matter which party collapses, it does not mean that the court will once again become the dominant party. Even those officials who are dealt with will

It greatly damaged the vitality of the entire Ming Dynasty. Now the Ming Dynasty has been hard to recover. The grandfathers have left the country for themselves, and it is already in turmoil. You don’t need to tell others, you understand it, so you can no longer do it.

It’s a matter of bones, and I don’t have the capital.

Therefore, he and Ye Xianggao decided on a method to cultivate a third force in order to balance the forces and restrain each other. It is actually the safest to stand on three legs. So for this third leg, Tianqi and Ye Xianggao agreed

, that is, Mao Wenlong is capable and loyal to the court.

The news has been released. With Mao Wenlong's intelligence, he should also understand. It is really exciting to see whether this smart man did this according to his own wishes or not.

Just as he was waiting anxiously, he saw Wei Zhongxian walking in unhurriedly outside the courtyard gate. A group of young eunuchs bowed and saluted, and Wei Zhongxian even nodded in return. It seemed that Wei Zhongxian was in a good mood.

As soon as he walked to the door and prepared to give gifts and sign up, Tianqi in the study said: "Forget it, come in quickly and talk about business."

Wei Zhongxian came in with his robe in hand: "Long live my Lord, I have been waiting for a long time, the news is here." Then he carefully took out the official document under his arm and handed it to Tianqi.

Tianqi took it, looked at Wei Zhongxian's face and expression, smiled unconsciously, and then opened the plain-faced official document, which was written in regular lowercase letters.

Wei Zhongxian didn't know how to read, and Tianqi's cultural level was not high, so the reports from the Jinyiwei were all written in plain language, without the literati's sophisticated clouds and mist, which Tianqi could understand at a glance.

"Yes, the Guchen Party has a nice name. They are loyal to the emperor, patriotic, and work hard to prosper the country. They can put loyalty to the emperor first. This is also Mao Shuai's nature. It also tells everyone that loyalty to the emperor is the foundation of all things. This hard work will prosper the country."

Bang Geng said it well, but it is much better than some people who always talk without saying anything."

Seeing the emperor's attitude, Wei Zhongxian was originally worried about Mao Wenlong and blatantly formed a clique, which was tabooed by the superiors. He originally thought that Emperor Tianqi would be furious, but Wei Zhongxian accepted it for his own purposes.

Cui Chengxiu suggested that he was going to speak out for Mao Wenlong. At this time, he breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Mao Wenlong's actions were very pleasing to the emperor.

As long as the emperor is happy, I will be happy. As long as Mao Wenlong's so-called Lonely Minister Party can be within the scope of my control, it is also a helper for me. Why not everyone?

So someone on the sidelines joked: "Actually, Mao Shuai's so-called Lonely Minister Party, strictly speaking, should be a joint-stock trading firm."

Tianqi asked with great interest: "How do you say this?"

So Wei Zhongxian told Mao Wenlong without concealing the fact that he had allocated the 0 quotas to everyone in the form of shares, and finally said: "Your Majesty, you must know that the first requirement for joining the Guchen Party is

Even if we take a shareholding, even the shopkeeper in Dong Laishun is from the Guchen Party."

Upon hearing this, Tianqi was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly laughed, and Wei Zhongxian also laughed with him.

Tianqi said reassuringly: "This Marshal Mao is still greedy for money. If a person is greedy for money, everything will be easy to handle and he won't be able to go far. Very good. In this case, let them go through the trouble." (Unfinished)
