Forbidden City, Palace of Heavenly Purity.
Zhu Youxiao put down the tea in his hand, reached out and picked up a piece of candied fruit, and put it directly into his mouth.
This preserves is really sweet and delicious.
Glancing at Chen Hong beside him, Zhu Youxiao said calmly, "I have to prepare for my wedding, so I'm canceling the morning court session starting today. If there's nothing important, tell everyone in and outside the court not to disturb me."
The last court session was enough. There was nothing else for him to deal with at the court. He could just wait and watch the fun and get married.
To be honest, I am really looking forward to it, because I want to marry three women at once.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Chen Hong quickly agreed and turned to leave the palace to deliver the message.
Zhu Youxiao was in an unprecedentedly good mood at this time. Everything was settled and he was just waiting to see the fun.
But this was not the case for others, especially Liu Yijing, the chief minister of the cabinet. His mood could be described as extremely low.
Throughout today's court meeting, he felt like a typical failure.
First, regarding Zhao Nanxing's case, he hadn't been able to take him down in one fell swoop. His Majesty had given Zhao Nanxing the opportunity to investigate on his own. It was still unclear how long this matter would drag on, and it wasn't certain whether he would even see that day.
As for the matter of Han Yu, I can say that I lost more than I gained, and now Han Yu has turned against me. I get furious just thinking about it.
Not only that, the Donglin Party actually had a chance to turn things around. Things had come to this point, and he had actually lost all the opportunities?
It’s so frustrating!
Liu Yijing couldn't help but think of Zhang Yingdao, his good student. He trusted him so much, but he actually dug a hole and buried him?
Zhang Yingdao is a mad man, he must be dealt with! If it weren't for him, why would I be so passive? I dare not say anything in the court!
If it weren't for Zhang Yingdao, he wouldn't have taken such a risky move to win over Han Yu, and ended up being in a difficult position.
Now, Han Yu has jumped out by himself, leaving me alone here to perform the play, and this play is not going to be easy.
As he walked towards the duty room of the cabinet, Han Yu had a gloomy face and was thinking in his heart that he must find Zhang Yingdao to ask him clearly after the court session.
Glancing to the right, Liu Yijing noticed that quite a few people had gathered around Han Yu, and he couldn't help but snort coldly.
Some of these people are fence-sitters. When they see Han Yu gaining power, they come to fawn on him.
Liu Yijing snorted disdainfully.
What a bunch of short-sighted people! Han Yu seems to be on the rise now, but there are dangers lurking behind him. If he wants to get to the top, he has to get through this time!
"Lord!"
At this moment, Liu Yijing heard someone calling him. He breathed a sigh of relief, calmed himself down, made his expression look better, and then turned his head.
After seeing the person coming, the smile on Liu Yijing's face froze a little.
Liu Yijing was a little surprised because he found out that the person who came was the Minister of Rites Sun Shenxing.
Why is Sun Shenxing here? Is he here to take advantage of someone's misfortune?
Thinking of this, Liu Yijing's face darkened like a thick dark cloud. He said with a forced smile, "I wonder why Minister Sun has come here?"
Sun Shenxing didn't take Liu Yijing's attitude seriously. He continued with a smile, "Your Excellency, the Ming Dynasty is so vast, and there are so many things going on. If things are like this today, who knows what they will be like tomorrow? We all take things one step at a time. Sometimes friends become enemies, but sometimes enemies become friends. What do you think, Your Excellency?"
Although he was talking to Liu Yijing, Sun Shenxing's gaze was directed at Han Yu who was surrounded by a crowd not far away.
After listening to Sun Shenxing's words, Liu Yijing confirmed one thing, that is, these people from the Donglin Party did not have good intentions towards Han Yu.
They clearly wanted to use Han Yu to eliminate some people, those who messed things up.
As to whether the Donglin Party wanted to eliminate those people or Sun Shenxing himself wanted to eliminate them, it is unknown.
However, in Liu Yijing's opinion, Sun Shenxing probably wanted to get rid of those who were in the way, so he pushed Han Yu out.
In this way, Han Yu's attempt to reach out to the Donglin Party could be stopped, and at the same time, an explanation could be given within the Donglin Party because it was not done by Sun Shenxing.
In addition, if the bigwigs of the Donglin Party in the court are swept away, Sun Shenxing will become the real leader.
Liu Yijing couldn't help but think of a possibility: was Zhang Yingdao bribed by Sun Shenxing?
If this is true, then it is possible that Sun Shenxing had arranged this matter. In this way, Han Yu has been completely trapped.
Looking at the whole thing, the one who benefited the most in the end was Sun Shenxing. The Donglin Party eliminated some people, cut off Han Yu's power, and expanded their own strength.
If my guess is correct, Sun Shenxing's next step in order to seek entry into the cabinet will be to win over other cabinet ministers.
Or simply win over himself and get Han Yu out.
After thinking about this, Liu Yijing's face became a little uneasy.
Why didn’t I realize before that this old guy Sun Shenxing was so cunning?
Now it seems that I have to be careful, otherwise I might get cheated.
Liu Yijing knew very well in his mind that everyone's ultimate goal was to become the chief minister of the cabinet.
Liu Yijing didn't think that Sun Shenxing would not set his sights on the position of Prime Minister of the Cabinet.
If the plan to let this old guy join the cabinet succeeds, he might not be able to deal with Sun Shenxing.
