Transmigrated to the Great Ming Dynasty, I became Emperor Zhu Youxiao, the Carpenter Emperor. Well then, I'll hide behind the scenes; I'll take the blame, and you all go die.
"The matter is very simple. Liu Yijing doesn't have many choices now. Han Yu is obviously eyeing his position. If Liu Yijing wants to keep his position, he needs our support." Sun Shenxing said with a smile.
"So I think we have something to discuss. We can support Liu Yijing in exchange for my entry into the cabinet, killing two birds with one stone. This way, we will have a position in the cabinet and no longer have to rely on anyone." Sun Shenxing said confidently, "Then many things will be easier to handle."
Zhao Nanxing looked troubled and said hesitantly, "Will he agree?"
"It's nothing more than coercion and inducement. Tell him that if he doesn't agree, we will switch our support to Han Yu. If he agrees, we can promise him that I won't take his position as Prime Minister." Sun Shenxing continued, "In this dilemma, he has no choice but to choose us."
Looking at Sun Shenxing, Zhao Nanxing hesitated. He felt as if Sun Shenxing had tricked him.
Why does it feel like Sun Shenxing is the only one who benefits the most?
Sun Shenxing not only suffered no losses, but also successfully entered the cabinet. In the final analysis, he benefited the most, while he had to fight desperately for his own side.
But now was not the time to think about these things. Zhao Nanxing asked again, "Then you really won't be the Prime Minister of the Cabinet?"
Sun Shenxing sighed helplessly and said, "Things have come to this point. This is the best solution. I'm not that important, so I can tolerate this sacrifice."
Sun Shenxing's face showed no reluctance. "We are doing this for the Ming Dynasty and for His Majesty. As a subject, I should have this kind of consideration."
"Your Excellency is loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and is truly a role model for his subjects. If all the officials in the court have your breadth of mind and heart, why worry about the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty?" Zhao Nanxing said with some emotion, his tone full of admiration.
Sun Shenxing waved his hand and said, "It's getting late. You should go back first. I'll talk to Liu Yijing first and then we'll talk."
Zhao Nanxing nodded, said goodbye and left.
Sun Shenxing watched Zhao Nanxing leave, then gently picked up the tea and took a sip.
Although the tea was a little cold, Sun Shenxing enjoyed it very much. Moreover, the slightly cool tea made him feel refreshed when it entered his stomach.
Sun Shenxing didn't care at all about what he had just said.
Who can explain clearly what is happening in this world?
Who knows what will happen tomorrow?
Today, I have indeed promised not to compete for the position of Prime Minister of the Cabinet. But what if Liu Yijing dies one day in the future? Will I not be able to take over? There is no such thing.
Or maybe Liu Yijing had done something wrong and was directly disliked by His Majesty. Then could he not take over? There was no such statement.
At that time, I will be the one taking on the responsibility.
In fact, what does it matter what I said today? By that time, I will be given high hopes, and all these trivial matters will be abandoned.
So what does it matter if we talk about it?
Moreover, after this matter gets out, he will get more support from people, especially other members of the Donglin Party.
The case was handed over to Han Yu, and he didn't get involved. In the end, whether it was good or bad, it was Han Yu's problem.
In the eyes of the Donglin Party, I, Old Sun, am a man of high moral character, dedicated to the country, the people and the king, and willing to sacrifice myself.
Such sentiments and actions, don't they reflect one's noble character?
With such a noble character, why can't he become the chief minister of the cabinet?
After leaving the Sun family’s gate, Zhao Nanxing got directly into the carriage.
After getting into the carriage, the expression on Zhao Nanxing's face suddenly became ugly, and his smile disappeared.
He felt that something was wrong this time.
Sun Shenxing wants to ally with Liu Yijing, but the question is, will he join him? Liu Yijing is not stupid, so why should he believe your promise?
For Liu Yijing, this matter was not a big deal. But for him, it was a big deal, a matter of great importance!
In particular, Zhao Nanxing felt that Sun Shenxing had overlooked one person, and that person was His Majesty.
With such a plan, where do you put His Majesty?
Will His Majesty just let you guys do whatever you want?
Zhao Nanxing looked at the Forbidden City in the distance. The huge Forbidden City was like a huge monster lying there, ready to jump out and devour anyone at any time.
What has caused things to come to this point?
In Zhao Nanxing's opinion, the reason was very simple, that is, His Majesty was angry.
When the Liaodong case came out, it was nothing big. It was just Wei Zhongxian's revenge on Yao Zongwen and others.
However, Gao Panlong and Zou Yuanbiao's actions directly made His Majesty angry, and he was determined to deal with them.
This is how cliques and factions come into being. How can Your Majesty not be angry when officials protect each other like this?
Judging from all aspects of the matter, His Majesty is forcing these people to take action, and to take ruthless action.
If you don't take action, someone else will take action against you. There will be absolutely no surprises because things are already connected.
Thinking of this, Zhao Nanxing's eyes flickered.
