"Because they can still do things for His Majesty, it's that simple!"
"If by then they do something bad and make His Majesty angry, then it will be time for liquidation."
"At that time, it's time for us to take action!"
Zhao Zhenji's words were like a heavy hammer, completely shattering the concepts he had always cultivated.
"But, this..."
Hai Rui hesitated and wanted to open his mouth to argue, but he found that his reasons were so weak and pale, and then he fell into deep thought.
"Yes, as an emperor, you should plan for the people of the world!"
"But how can the emperor alone control such a big place and so many people?"
"Therefore, the emperor needs someone to manage the people and implement and implement the policies he promulgates!"
"For the emperor, as long as his ministers can do their jobs and are loyal to him, that's enough! As for the rest, it's just a head start."
"Therefore, as long as it does not affect the normal implementation of policies and the daily operations of the court, the emperor usually turns a blind eye to this."
"Only when the struggle between the two parties affects the daily operation of the court or the livelihood of the people, the emperor will stand up and act as a referee to regulate the relationship between the two parties."
Hai Rui stood there, meditating for a long time, as if he had figured something out. His whole body suddenly became energetic, and his eyes shone with a different kind of light.
Zhao Zhenji's words inspired Hai Rui a lot, allowing him to put himself in a higher perspective and look at problems.
"Perhaps, Your Majesty deliberately caused the two of them to fight! Because only in this way, Your Majesty can get the news from different channels and avoid being deceived."
"If the fight between the two parties is limited to a controllable range, not only can we broaden the information channels, but we can also take advantage of the situation and use the hands of these officials to promote our own policies!"
"After all, if you don't carry out the emperor's orders, the emperor will let your opponent do it!"
"Both sides are very afraid that the other party will gain more favors from the emperor, thus breaking the balance of power!"
"Therefore, in order not to be thrown away by our opponents, we must spare no effort to implement His Majesty's policies and at the same time please His Majesty."
"If this continues for a long time, it can be regarded as a virtuous cycle! Of course, the premise is that everything is within control."
The more Hai Rui thought about it, the more he thought it was possible. Then he looked at Zhao Zhenji with gratitude and said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty the Imperial Envoy, for clarifying my doubts. What you just said has benefited me a lot!"
"Your Majesty has learned a lesson!"
After Hai Rui finished speaking, he immediately bowed to the ground.
At this moment, Zhao Zhenji was completely confused about Hai Rui's reaction.
In his opinion, he just gave Hai Rui some hints, but Hai Rui's reaction was completely beyond his expectation. He seemed to have learned something from it.
"It doesn't matter. If you can learn something from it, then my efforts are not in vain."
Zhao Zhenji waved his hand and then spoke to Hai Rui.
"The Imperial Envoy is indeed unfathomable. He is worthy of being a man who has been immersed in officialdom for many years! Such a profound truth is contained in a few casual words."
"Hai Rui, Hai Rui, from now on, you have to listen more, see more, and think more!"
"Only in this way can we ensure that we can successfully implement our ambitions in the future."
When Hai Rui thought of this, he looked at Zhao Zhenji with even more reverence!
At this moment, he seemed to regard Zhao Zhenji as his mentor.
"Okay, if that's the case, then go down and get ready! Hand over all the work that needs to be handed over, and don't make any mistakes."
Seeing that the conversation was almost over, Zhao Zhenji said this immediately.
"Yes, Your Majesty the Imperial Envoy, I will resign immediately!"
After Hai Rui finished speaking, he bowed respectfully to Zhao Zhenji and left the Governor's Mansion.
As soon as Hai Rui walked out of the Governor's Mansion, he saw a sedan parked not far from the Governor's Mansion, with bearers waiting anxiously next to it.
At this moment, it was getting late, and the sedan was parked there alone, looking quite eye-catching.
Just when Hai Rui was confused, the bearer saw him coming out and quickly came up to him and said respectfully.
"Sir, my master asked me to wait for you here!"
"Who is your master?"
Hai Rui asked even though he already had some guesses in his heart.
"Replying to your Majesty, I am the Chief Envoy. I have sent a young man to wait for you here!"
After hearing what the bearer said, Hai Rui felt relieved and got on the sedan immediately.
…
Soon, the sedan stopped at the door of the previous restaurant. The bearer opened the sedan curtain and said respectfully.
"Sir, we have arrived."
"Um."
Hai Rui nodded, then walked out of the sedan and walked straight to the restaurant.
Since he had been here once before, Hai Rui was quite familiar with this place.
Therefore, he quickly arrived at the box where Zheng Michang was, opened the door, and entered.
"You're finally here. I've been waiting for you here for a long time. Come on, sit down!"
"Waiter, serve!"
Zheng Michang was very enthusiastic about Hai Rui's arrival and kept greeting him.
Hai Rui did not refuse, and calmly accepted Zheng Michang's enthusiasm and sat down on the seat next to him.
In his opinion, after Zheng Michang learned that he was about to take a post in the Supervisory Council, he made up his mind to settle the past with him.
By then, his status as an official of the Inspectorate will also be a major help.
Hai Rui just thought about this direction for a moment and figured out where the joints were.
Soon, the steaming hot dishes were brought out by the waiter and filled the entire table.
After the dishes were served, Zheng Michang poured himself and Hai Rui a glass of wine each, and then a slight apology appeared on his face.
He stood up from his seat, picked up the wine glass, and said to Hai Rui.
"What happened before was because I did something wrong. I was too excited at that time. Just now..."
However, before Zheng Mi Chang finished speaking, he was interrupted by Hai Rui.
"No matter where you are, it's just your duty, sir!"
"What I did at that time was somewhat thoughtless, so you don't have to blame yourself."
After Hai Rui finished speaking, he stood up, picked up the wine glass, touched it with Zheng Michang, and drank it down in one gulp.
"What are you..."
At this moment, Zheng Michang was stunned on the spot, with a look of confusion on his face.
"Who am I, where am I, and what am I doing? Someone tell me, is this person in front of me Hai Rui?"
"What are you still doing, sir?"
Hai Rui looked at the glass of wine in Zheng Michang's hand and said with a half-smile.
"I almost forgot about this matter. I deserve to be punished! I deserve to be punished!"
After Hai Rui's reminder, Zheng Michang suddenly came back to his senses and drank all the wine in his glass.
After one glass of wine, perhaps to express his apology, Zheng Michang drank two more glasses of wine in succession.
"My lord, why did you come to see me this time?"
Although Hai Rui already knew Zheng Michang's purpose, he still asked deliberately.
"This...well, I have come to you this time for something."
Seeing that Hai Rui didn't talk too much and went straight to the topic, Zheng Michang was a little at a loss.
"My lord, just keep your words. After all, you were once kind to your subordinates, right?"
Upon seeing this, Hai Rui immediately gave Zheng Michang a step up.
"Well, I invite you here this time mainly for two things! The first thing is to clear up the misunderstanding between us."
Zheng Mi Chang turned his gaze to Hai Rui and then spoke.
"My lord, I don't care about this matter."
Hai Rui saw the expression on Zheng Michang's face and shook his head, indicating that he didn't care.
"Really? That's great!"
Seeing that Hai Rui said these words himself, Zheng Michang breathed a sigh of relief and said this.
"The second thing is to practice it for you!"
Now, you are about to go to the capital to take up a post, and as my boss, there is nowhere I can help you. "
"You can only express your feelings in this way."
For some reason, Zheng Michang felt that the Hai Rui in front of him seemed to have been completely transformed after entering the Governor's Mansion.
There was a vague aura about Hai Rui, as if everything was under his control! And in front of him, he unknowingly became the weak one.
"Don't worry, sir, I will never forget your help!"
After Hai Rui finished speaking, he picked up the wine bottle on the table and poured himself a glass of wine.
"In this case, I can rest assured."
After hearing what Hai Rui said, Zheng Michang gradually felt relieved.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. Come and have a drink."
"cheers!"
…
"Drive!"
At this moment, the night was already deep, and the sound of rapid horse hooves could be heard on the outskirts of Hangzhou.
Just when the soldiers guarding the city stopped the visitor and wanted to ask him about his identity, they learned a shocking news from the visitor.
"The visitor claims to be a close associate of Jiangxi Governor Cao Shunhe. He came to Zhejiang this time to deliver the letter directly to the emperor through Hu Zongxian's channels."
"The letter records the current situation in Jiangxi Province in detail, and Jiangxi Governor Cao Shunhe has been dismissed and is under surveillance at all times!"
The matter was so serious that these soldiers did not dare to make a rash decision, so they had to report the situation to their superiors layer by layer.
The visitor also exhausted several horses to death on the way from Jiangxi to Zhejiang!
When he arrived in Hangzhou, he was so exhausted that he almost had no energy to speak. When the soldiers guarding the city saw this, they quickly carried him to the bed to rest.
At this moment, in the Governor's Mansion, after reporting at all levels, Hu Zongxian finally learned the news from his subordinates.
"What, the governor of Jiangxi has been ostracized, and not only that, he is also under constant surveillance!"
"Now, where is the messenger?"
After listening to the report of his subordinates, Hu Zongxian asked immediately.
"Reporting to the Governor, the incoming visitor has been stopped outside the city by the soldiers guarding the city!"
Seeing Hu Zongxian asking about this, the subordinates on the side responded quickly.
"Well, I can't hesitate any longer and take me there!"
Hu Zongxian thought for a moment and then ordered.
"Yes, Lord Governor, my subordinates will go and prepare horses for you right now!"
After the subordinate responded, he left quickly.
Naturally, Zhao Zhenji couldn't hide what was going on in the Governor's Mansion. He walked into the room and asked Hu Zongxian.
"What happened?"
Hu Zongxian sighed, and then chose to tell Zhao Zhenji, the imperial envoy, everything.
"What, how dare you be so bold!"
After hearing Hu Zongxian's description, Zhao Zhenji was also shocked, with a look of shock on his face.
