    Forbidden City, inside the imperial study.

    "Your Majesty, please think twice!" Wang Shouren's face turned red and he clenched his fists. If it weren't for Li Dong's status as emperor, Wang Shouren would have probably pointed at Li Dong's nose and yelled loudly.

    "I have thought about it very clearly, and this matter has been decided!" Li Dong said without doubt.

    "Your Majesty, please issue an order to remove me from my official position!" Wang Shouren replied tit for tat.

    "Sir, are you threatening me?"

    "How dare I, I? As a minister, you know that the king is doing something wrong, but you can't dissuade him. Then what use does your majesty have for your ministers? Please resign!"

    "Sir, please don't force me" Li Dong's anger also rose. He had been trying to persuade Wang Shouren for half a month, but Wang Shouren refused to agree and said nothing would work.

    Wang Shouren stared at Li Dong without showing any signs of weakness.

    Li Dong stood up suddenly and shouted to the door, "Da Niu! Sir, you are tired! Send your husband back to your home to rest!"

    "I retire!" Wang Shouren bowed and saluted, then turned around and left neatly.

    Li Dong shook his head. Wang Shouren usually seemed very courageous, and not at all pedantic as a scholar should be. But why was he so timid when it came to his plan?  He looks forward and backward, and is afraid of the wolf before the tiger. Although the risk of his plan is a bit high, the reward is quite considerable. There is at least a 70% chance of winning. Once the plan is successful, it will not only be able to eliminate those general soldiers with ulterior motives at the border.  , and can also severely damage the Mongols, which can be said to be a good strategy to kill two birds with one stone.

    "Commander" Li Xiang stood nearby and shouted softly.

    Li Dong looked sideways at Li Xiang, "What? Do you want to persuade me too?"

    "Commander" Li Xiang said with a grimace, "Normally, my subordinates will do their best to obey your orders, but this timeCommanderare you thinking about it?"

    Li Dong and Li Xiang were not so polite when talking, and their voices became louder, "What to consider? What is there to consider? This is urgent. I want you to come up with an idea, but you can't come up with it. I can't come up with one and you can't."  Come on, why don't you give me a trick?"

    "Commander With my little skills, I still want to give you some advice? I was taught by you, right?"

    "Stop flattering me and give me a nice word. Will you support me?"

    "Commander, how about we change someone else and I can go?"

    "You go? Are you stupid, Li Xiang? Do you know that those arrogant soldiers are planning to rebel? Who cares about your identity as a royal guard when you are in other people's territory? I will give you a corrective edict then.  The crime was slapped on you, and then you raised the flag of rebellion and led the troops to serve the king!"

    "Wouldn't it be the same if you went?" Li Xiang muttered softly.

    "Same? Am I the same as you? I am the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the most respected person in the Nine-Five Years. I occupy Zhengshuo, I own Dayi, and I have status! Dare you kill me? There will be no need for the court to send troops by then. Their subordinates  We can chop off their heads and send them to the capital."

    "Commander, having said that, if a commander-in-chief who is not afraid of death is imprisoned, aren't you a sheep caught in a tiger's mouth?"

    "That's why I want you Jin Yiwei to do a good job in intelligence work, and investigate the character of each commander-in-chief. The border areas are not monolithic. Find out which generals are not compatible with the commander-in-chief, and make good use of them. There is a lot to be done. Besides,  Not afraid of death? Hehe, it¡¯s not that I look down on them. Those who are not afraid of death would have died on the battlefield. Those who survive are counted as one. There is no one who is not afraid of death. No one can abandon their family and career. After all, rebellion is not  Just kidding, if it really comes down to it, which one will they get for soldiers, horses, food, and military pay?!"

    "Commander, although we have information about the Jin Yiwei, this matter is still too risky. You go to the border to supervise the battle alone. When the time comes, you will lead those soldiers and horses to fight the Mongols. There are no swords and eyes on the battlefield, and those general soldiers  Are you still harboring evil intentions? What if they try to save you on the battlefield and they can shirk their responsibilities afterwards? I feel scared just thinking about it. Marshal, please think about it."

    "Haha, I'm not stupid, can I still rush ahead? I will definitely hide far away by then."

    "Commander, do we have to be in such a hurry? Is it worth taking such a big risk? Can't we just let the Mongols do it once? Let's accumulate strength. When we are all ready, we will go to war with the Mongols. Then, Marshal, you will personally conquer  No matter how you send Wang Ping and the others, my subordinates won¡¯t stop you!¡±

    "Li Xiang, you don't understand. This is an excellent opportunity. It seems risky, but it's not. The most important thing is that the Mongols don't understand the real strength we have. Are you waiting? Haha, Mongolia  People are not fools. They will also send spies into the Central Plains. When the time comes, they willWithout our strength, we are hiding on the grassland and do not come to the Central Plains. We want to fight them decisively. Can you find them?  "

    "Commanderbut I still feel"

    Li Dong waved his hand, "I've said everything that needs to be said. This is just a plan, and I'm still making my own decisions! Do you support me or not?"

    "Commander" Li Xiang looked embarrassed. He thought for a while, gritted his teeth, stamped his feet, and shook his head.  "Commander, I stand with you in this matter!"

    "Get out!" Li Dong was so angry that he talked to himself for a long time, even his closest subordinates couldn't explain it

    "Grandpa, there was a big fire in the imperial study room today!" A rather capable little eunuch reported to Liu Jin in a low voice. He looked around as he spoke, as if he was afraid of being heard by others. This man's name was Guo Da.  , was the eunuch who was responsible for making tea and water for Li Dong. When he saw Liu Jin gaining power, he recognized Liu Jin as his godfather and changed his name to Liu Da.  It just so happened that Liu Jin also needed an eyeliner by Li Dong's side, so as soon as Liu Day expressed his willingness to join him, Liu Jin readily agreed.

    "For what? With whom?" Liu Jin was very concerned about Li Dong's news. All his prosperity and wealth depended on Li Dong.

    "Because my grandson didn't know what happened, Master Long live didn't let anyone get close to him when he was talking about things. This time, it was because Master Long live's voice was a little loud, so I knew that Master Long live got angry and it was with Wang Shouren and Li Xiang.  .¡±

    "Oh?" A smile suddenly appeared on Liu Jin's face. This was great news. He had been coveting Li Xiang's rights for a long time. Li Xiang was in charge of the Jin Yiwei, which was a power hanging over the heads of all civil and military officials.  Whoever masters a sharp sword can truly be considered to be inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people. Moreover, being in charge of Jinyiwei can also provide him with great convenience in making money.

    But his hatred for Wang Shouren was because of one thing. Once he listened to his informant and reported to him, Wang Shouren warned Li Dong while giving a lecture to Li Dong.

    "The emperor should stay away from villains and stay close to virtuous ministers, so that the country can prosper."

    Liu Jin is very self-aware. Isn¡¯t the villain the villain in our family, and the virtuous minister is you?  This is the logic behind Mr. Liu Jin¡¯s decision.

    Because of these two reasons, he has long wanted to touch Li Xiang and Wang Shouren, but these two are Li Dong's closest subordinates. He has not dared to do it for a long time. Now he finally has this opportunity. Haha, God help me.  also!

    However, Liu Jin was not dizzy with joy at this time. He did not dare to move together. He moved first to test the depth of the water and see what Li Dong's reaction was. Liu Jin thought about it and felt that the persimmon was still soft.  Well, let¡¯s start with Wang Shouren.

    On that day, Liu Jin hinted to Liu Yu, the censor of the right capital, to impeach Wang Shouren for neglecting his duties and being arrogant. Liu Jin wrote a transfer order overnight. However, considering Wang Shouren's status as the emperor's advisor, the court did not punish him severely and transferred Wang Shouren to Nanjing.  According to Wang Shouren's current official position, he has been promoted from doctor to minister. However, the Nanjing Ministry of War has nothing to do. It just sits around and drinks tea all day long. This promotion is actually a disguised form of dismissal and blow.  revenge.

    This transfer order was directly sealed by the Chief Ceremony Officer and then forwarded to the cabinet. Liu Jin was worried about this for a long time, fearing that the cabinet would return the transfer order. However, what is strange is that the three bachelors in the cabinet did not know whether they did not pay attention or did it intentionally.  For this reason, he adopted a silent attitude towards Liu Jin's actions.

    The next morning, as soon as Wang Shouren went to the office, a eunuch came to the Ministry of War to announce the decree.

    Wang Shouren stood there stunned, unable to hear the specific content of the imperial edict clearly. He really couldn't believe that Li Dong actually told him to pack up and get out?

    "I accept the decree!" Wang Shouren took the imperial decree from the eunuch's hand with a dull look, lowered his head and looked at the contents of the imperial decree in silence. Halfway through, he frowned first, and then raised the corners of his mouth.

    After hearing the imperial edict, other officials of the Ministry of War were gloating about the misfortune, especially the ministers Lu Guanying and Liu Yu. Wang Shouren was in the Ministry of War for one day, and the position of Minister was reserved for him.  The fate of his official position is also unknown. Who knows whether Wang Shouren's next official position will be Minister of War?

    The sudden imperial edict really made these two people overjoyed. Wang Shouren didn't know how to cherish it, so why did he hate Long Live Lord?  There is no shortage of rivalry among colleagues in the officialdom. There are few who offer help in times of trouble and many who add insult to injury.  Lu Guanying came to Wang Shouren with a smile, and congratulated him hypocritically, "Congratulations to Mr. Wang on your promotion? Nanjing is a good place, the land of smoke and powder, it is really desirable"

    Wang Shouren smiled and replied, "What Mr. Lu said is that Nanjing is indeed a good place. I also intend to go to Nanjing for a while, but I don't know how far I can go on this publicly funded trip!"

      After hearing Wang Shouren¡¯s incomprehensible words, Lu Guanying thought to himself that Wang Shouren must be insane, why are he talking nonsense?

    Wang Shouren laughed, turned around and went back to the house without looking at the disgusting faces of other people in the Ministry of War.

    Back at the house, Wang Hua, who also learned the news, also rushed back.

    "Bo'an, is that true?" Wang Hua couldn't believe it since he heard the news. Li Dong had always admired Wang Shouren so much, so how could he transfer Wang Shouren to Nanjing so well?

    "Father, don't worry, this is the imperial edict Hey, father, please take a look!" Wang Shouren smiled and handed the imperial edict to Wang Hua.

    Wang Hua accepted the imperial edict without knowing what was going on, and looked down for a while, "This"

    "This imperial decree says that my son has neglected his duties Haha, how long has my son been a doctor? How can he talk about neglecting his duties? I guess this imperial decree must be done by Liu Jin!"

    "So, His Majesty still doesn't know about it?"

    Wang Shouren nodded, shook his head with a wry smile, "Although Your Majesty doesn't know yet, my son will probably have to go through a hard time. The imperial edict said that he will leave Beijing today, but I guess he won't be able to walk far. There is no need to bring the clothes with him when he goes out.  Just a follower, I don¡¯t know if my son can walk through Daxing, haha"

    Wang Hua has been an official all his life. After thinking about it carefully, he naturally understood all the links. But he didn't understand such an imperial edict. How could the cabinet agree to it?  Could it be that Liu Jian and others were also afraid that Wang Shouren would rise too quickly?

    When Li Xiang told Li Dong the news, Li Dong was watching the General Football match in the military camp.

    "What? Sir was driven to Nanjing?" Li Dong was stunned for a moment, then laughed.

    "Commander, this Liu Jin is getting more and more excessive. He actually dares to touch the commander's husband. I guess the next one will be me!" Li Xiang has always disliked Liu Jin, a dead eunuch.

    Li Dong laughed for a long time before catching his breath. This Wang Shouren was so smart that he finally capsized in the gutter. It was Wang Shouren's idea that Liu Jin came to power. In the end, he shot himself in the foot, hahaha.  .  .

    "Go and call sir back" Li Dong paused, and an idea flashed in his mind, "When did sir leave?"

    "Commander, he left this morning."

    Li Dong nodded and clapped his hands, "It's okay, continue watching the game!" Then he concentrated on watching the game off the court.

    "Commander" Li Xiang looked at Li Dong blankly.

    Li Dong waved to Piao Astronomy Network, I will handle this matter.  "

    "oh."

    Two days later, Wang Shouren had almost reached Wuqing County. He didn't see any officials chasing him on the official road. He had already begun to doubt his original idea. Could it be that the imperial edict was really written by Li Dong?

    At the same time, inside the palace.

    When Li Dong left the court, he suddenly asked Liu Jin, "Why haven't you seen your husband in the past two days? Is he sick?"

    Liu Jin was stunned. He was still happy with his risky move two days ago, so he quickly answered.

    "Master Wang went to Nanjing to serve as a minister at the Ministry of War!"

    Li Dong became angry when he heard this: "I want him to be the Minister of the Ministry of War. Why did he go to Nanjing to be the Minister? Call him back to me quickly!"

    "Yes, Your Majesty!" Liu Jin suddenly broke out in sweat on his forehead. He really kicked the steel plate

    That night, Li Dong tried hard to control his slightly trembling hands. He was rarely so nervous, because soon, he would do something extremely risky and exciting, and everyone would be kept in the dark by him, including Wang Shouren and  His close associates.

    "Sun Xiaoliu, are everyone ready?"

    "Commander, the five hundred people in the guard camp are ready, with all the armor, guns and ammunition, and horses But, Marshal, are you really not going to inform Li Xiang and the others?" Sun Xiaoliu thought.  My mouth feels bitter, very bitter.

    Li Dong chuckled, "We can't notify them, otherwise we won't be able to leave!"

    "Have you brought all my seals and gold medal arrows?!" Li Dong asked Du Shaohua, the young eunuch next to him.

    "Long live the Lord, bringall of them!" Du Shaohua's voice was trembling.

    "Tomorrow morning, ask someone to bring my letter to Li Xiang. The military affairs of the Guards are all at your discretion!"

    "Yes, long live the Lord!"

    "Yahoo," Li Dong shouted, and in the night, he galloped out of Desheng Gate.

    A great adventure is about to happenFrom now on, no one can stop me anymore!
