    After Wang Xijue learned the painful lesson of being "besieged" by the ministers yesterday, and after listening to Zhang Yongnian's words, he stayed up almost all night.  After considering the matter carefully and thoroughly, I suddenly realized that if I wanted to continue to serve as the chief assistant, I had no other choice but to do what Zhang Yongnian, a fellow from Taicang, said.  .

    Now that he had made the decision, Wang Xijue put aside all his worries, so no matter what Zhu Yijun said, whether soft or hard, he would not let go - anyway, there was no place for me to stand in the court, and his reputation was rapidly changing.  It turns out that if the emperor does not take back the imperial edict of "the three kings are conferred together", I will hang up my crown and leave, making you, the emperor, lose face too.

    Zhu Yijun was also furious. No matter whether he was speaking harshly or speaking sincerely, whether he was slapping the table or pouring out his bitter words, the old guy was like a bastard eating a weight, determined not to let go.

    In the end, he talked a lot and spit a lot. Zhu Yijun finally thought about it helplessly. It was expected that this matter would not be accomplished. After all, his goal was achieved. It didn't matter if the imperial edict was withdrawn one day early and one day later.  Okay, just think of it as giving the old guy face.

    "Okay, you get up. I promise you that I will restore the previous decree of 'three kings being sealed together'." Zhu Yijun sat on the dragon chair, waved his hands tiredly, and said feebly.

    "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!" Wang Xijue kowtowed respectfully: "Please Your Majesty, please draw up an edict immediately."

    "you¡­¡­"

    Zhu Yijun wanted to reprimand him, but he was tired of talking to this stubborn old man. Anyway, he agreed, so let¡¯s draft the decree.

    "You should consider drafting it." Zhu Yijun was very annoyed. He really didn't want to see this old man again today. After drafting the decree, he went back to your cabinet office.

    Wang Xijue stood up from the ground with a start. Probably because he was old and had been kneeling for a long time, he felt dizzy and was about to fall when he staggered.  If Xu Fu hadn't been quick to help him with his quick eyes and hands, the chief assistant, who had just entered his sixtieth year and turned sixty, would have fallen out of nowhere.

    Zhu Yijun felt relieved when he raised his voice and gave Xu Fu an appreciative look.  If something happened to Wang Xijue in the main hall, not to mention the friendship between monarch and ministers, teachers and students, the ministers who did not know the inside story might spread the word that this old guy was going to die!  Wouldn¡¯t he become a foolish king?

    "Sir, are you okay?" Zhu Yijun asked with concern. Seeing the old-looking Wang Xijue, he couldn't help but sigh, and most of his anger was gone.

    Wang Xijue smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I am fine. Time is not forgiving. In the blink of an eye, I have entered my sixtieth year, and I am already an old man."

    "Xu Fu, help Mr. go over and help him grind the ink." Zhu Yijun originally wanted to ask Wang Xijue to go back and rest, but based on his understanding of Wang Xijue, he knew that the old guy would not leave before an imperial edict was formulated.

    Xu Fu helped Wang Xijue to a desk not far from the bottom of the dragon case, skillfully dripped an appropriate amount of water into the surface of the inkstone, pushed the ground ink into the inkstone pool, and grinded it repeatedly.

    Wang Xijue respectfully picked up a blank imperial edict and spread it out. After thinking for a moment, he picked up the selected brush, dipped some ink on it and swiped it on the imperial edict. Then he held it up with both hands and blew on it before handing it to Xu Fu.  .

    Zhu Yijun took the imperial edict drafted by Wang Xijue from Xu Fu, and after reading it, he was quite satisfied.  Wang Xijue came from second place in the college entrance examination. Needless to say, his handwriting and writing style, as well as the connotation, put almost all the responsibility on himself.

    Since there was no problem, Zhu Yijun took out the jade seal and covered it without hesitation. Since it was like this, there was nothing to hesitate about.

    "Xu Fu!"

    "My servant is here."

    "Go to the Ministry of Rites to announce the decree." Zhu Yijun was straightforward and asked Xu Fu to deliver the decree.

    "Thank you, Your Majesty!" Wang Xijue knelt down again.

    "Okay, okay, no need to be too polite. I don't have the skills to give blessings. Sir, you'd better get up quickly." Zhu Yijun waved his hand to entertain Wang Xijue.

    Wang Xijue did not get up. Instead, he cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I have one more thing to ask for. Please grant me your permission."

    Zhu Yijun frowned: "What else can you do, sir?"

    "If the emperor is still considerate of my veteran, I would like to ask the emperor to grant my request for becoming an official. I will definitely feel deeply about it."

    "Wang Xijue, what else are you thinking about? I have already promised you to take back the decree of 'Three Kings Confering Together'. The imperial edict has been drawn up and I have approved it. Xu Fu has also gone to deliver the edict. What else do you want to do?"  It's not over yet!" Zhu Yijun immediately became a little impatient. Has the old guy already decided to leave?

    Wang Xijue kowtowed and said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, not Mr.He doesn't know how to advance or retreat. Does the emperor understand the old minister's difficulties?  Ever since the old minister drafted the imperial edict of "Three Kings Confessed Together" yesterday, the chief minister, the minister, has been isolated from the court. What prestige does he still have?  Does the emperor think there is still a place for veterans in this court?  What else can the old minister do now besides becoming an official?  "

    Zhu Yijun originally wanted to get angry, but seeing Wang Xijue's pitiful look, he finally waved his hand weakly: "I don't allow it! You go back first, and I will find a way to make the ministers cooperate with you."

    "Your Majesty!" Wang Xijue kowtowed again, his voice rising a little: "If the Emperor is still considerate of the old minister, please let the eldest son of the emperor go out to study! The old minister is not willing to deceive the emperor. As long as the emperor can issue an order to let the eldest son of the emperor go out to study, veteran minister  Maybe I can continue in the position of chief assistant and continue to solve the emperor's problems."

    Zhu Yijun was stunned. He didn't expect Wang Xijue to speak so straightforwardly.  He frowned and thought about it for a while, then he understood that as long as Wang Xijue could allow the eldest son of the emperor to leave the cabinet to study, then it would be considered as a solution to the problem of the ministers. At least many ministers would change their views on him.

    Zhu Yijun is also surprised. Whether it is Wang Jiaping, Wang Xijue, or the other two academicians in the current cabinet, Zhao Zhigao and Zhang Wei, they were all very responsible people in the past, and they all dared to contradict and disobey the powerful Zhang Juzheng at that time!  Why is it that after entering the cabinet, everyone has lost their responsibility and no one dares to confront the ministers?  Do you want to find a more courageous minister to serve as the first assistant?

    "Okay, you go back to the cabinet, I will consider this matter." Zhu Yijun waved his hand, and without waiting for Wang Xijue to speak, he walked down from the dragon chair and walked to the side door not far away. He didn't do anything today either.  If I am not in the mood to review the memorial, I might as well go back to the palace.

    In the next few days, since the ministers knew that the decree of "three kings conferring titles" had been withdrawn, they stopped making noises in Shangshu.  However, Zhu Yijun was not relieved because of this. The old man Wang Xijue did not go to the cabinet office these days. He went to the Wenhua Hall every day after entering the palace. Most likely, the emperor would either approve his request to become an official or let the emperor's eldest son go out to study.  Otherwise, he would just keep making trouble like this.

    Zhu Yijun is really annoyed.

    However, it is not only Zhu Yijun who is troubled, but Concubine Zheng in Qixiang Palace is also troubled.

    "Gao Huai, are you telling the truth? Is this really what is said in the palace?" Concubine Zheng's face was full of frost. Anyone who heard her son being said to be uncultured and vulgar would not do well.  face.

    Gao Huai shrank his neck and said, "Your Majesty, how dare I arrange this matter randomly? Many people in the palace are spreading rumors like this.

    Concubine Zheng thought for a moment and asked, "Does the Emperor know about this?"

    "Your Majesty, the Emperor has been very irritated by Wang Xijue in the past few days. He lost his temper several times. Some people in the Qianqing Palace were unlucky because of this, and were beaten up by the Emperor in anger It is estimated that no one can do this.  Dare to mention it to the emperor." Gao Huai bowed and explained.

    Concubine Zheng frowned: "Have you found out who started the rumor?"

    "My Lady, this matter is not easy to investigate. After all, it involves so many maids and attendants in the palace, and it will not be possible to find out in a short time." Gao Huai said softly.

    ????????? Actually, Gao Huai still had something left unsaid in his heart. After all, this is not a big deal. Even if the emperor knew about it, he might not investigate it seriously. At most, he would just ban it.

    However, Concubine Zheng obviously didn¡¯t think it was a small matter for her son to leave such a bad impression on others, and she couldn¡¯t help but feel more urgent about letting her son go out to study.
