In the past, this was really not something Zhang Siwei could do.

Zhu Yijun suppressed his thoughts and said slowly: "It is a good thing that Qilin'er can aspire to take the imperial examination. However, Zhang Qing has many children, so he may not be able to take good care of them all."

"For more than a year now, you have been compiling the actual records of my emperor's examination. You have been working hard and will succeed as soon as you see it."

"I will use this merit to make Zhang Qing's son the Minister of Shangbao Temple."

Zhang Siwei did not hesitate and immediately bowed down: "Thank you for your grace!"

"Your Majesty treats me like your heart, which makes me extremely ashamed!"

"This time my father violated the national law and was involved in a wide range of things. The iron smelting plant run by my father in Yangcheng County has an annual output of nearly 100,000 kilograms, and the amount of its output flows into the hands of Tatars."

"I request that this iron smelting site be handed over to the Governor-General's Office in Xuanda for a thorough inventory by Governor Tan to avoid missing out on the enemy's situation!"

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Yijun sat up straight and leaned forward subconsciously.

This is not turning over to Tan Lun, this is bribing the court!

What is the concept of annual output of nearly 100,000 kilograms?

The state and the dynasty run the railway, and Shanxi has a quota of 1,146,917 kilograms.

This means that Zhang Siwei’s iron smelting plant alone is worth 10% of Shanxi’s official iron production!

As expected of a private iron smelting plant, it is indeed prosperous.

Zhang Siwei, Zhang Siwei, if you are so sensible, how come you have so many troubles?

After Zhang Siwei finished speaking, he buried his head and waited for the emperor's reply.

His face was calm, but his heart was uneasy.

When the emperor asked just now, he really felt the murderous intent!

Today's performance in the palace is correct. If you make a single mistake in one step, you may be doomed.

In order to show that he had no resentment, he sincerely advised and analyzed himself.

He even stood in the emperor's perspective and looked at himself for several days beforehand, and at this moment he could say something against his will, such as Zhang, "he is obsessed with the views of the family, and is separated by the village and the party."

In order to respond to outside rumors and appease the emperor's murderous intention, he even left his wife and children in the capital, under the emperor's nose.

Even if the emperor wanted to keep another son because of his kindness, he pretended to be ignorant and quickly agreed without hesitation.

In order to express his submission to the emperor, he almost begged to give it to the emperor with an iron factory with an annual output of 100,000 kilograms.

A little extravagant wealth is a drop in the bucket to him, but at this time, it cannot be said that it can save his life!

He has made it this far.

If the emperor still insists on going his own way and killing for no reason, then the price will definitely be high!

He believed that the emperor would not do this, and this was what he had realized recently when he looked at everything from the emperor's perspective - as long as the cost of breaking up was greater than the cost of maintaining stability, then no one in power would choose the latter.

As expected.

After a brief silence in the hall.

The little emperor finally spoke: "Your Majesty, please tell me again and again. I have been sincerely informed. Later, I will go to the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Shanxi Road Censor to accompany you back to Shanxi to take stock of the iron smelting institute's assets."

Zhang Siwei's hanging heart finally relaxed slowly.

He took a deep breath, maintained his final composure, and performed the final drama: "Your Majesty is able to allow me to atone for my father's sins. It is a sign of God's great grace. I am grateful to you!"

This time, the emperor said nothing.

He just waved his hand to indicate the end of today's conversation.

Zhang Siwei thanked him and said goodbye, bent down to face the emperor, slowly backed away, and left the palace.

When he reached the entrance of the palace, he straightened up, turned around and left the Longevity Palace.

It wasn't until dozens of steps outside the Wanshou Palace that I heard the sound of a copper chime coming from the palace. It was distant and crisp, and its meaning was unclear.

Zhang Siwei stopped and listened for a moment, but there was no such thing as "stopping".

He finally closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

Today, he took the most difficult step and was finally able to return to Sanjin safely!

At this moment, it just feels like a new life!

If the emperor's village is in the center, then Zhang Siwei's village is in Xuanda!

As long as he sits in Xuanda, relying on the chamber of commerce that covers the three Jin Dynasties, and relying on the relationship between Wang Chonggu in the Cabinet and Shi Maohua in the Ministry of War, it will only be a matter of time before Tan Lun, the governor, is driven out or sidelined!

Little by little, just like Wang Chonggu did at the beginning, he turned Anda Khan into his own use and offered help.

Even feeding the dead.

They even recruited and trained Jurchens.

They even organized a Literary League Poetry Club and secretly formed a party...

Doing business, forming associations, hunting bandits, and raising tigers are all indispensable!

By then.

No matter whether the little emperor fell into the water or he made a comeback - he didn't believe that the emperor could hide in Xiyuan for the rest of his life.

It's better to be an uncrowned king in Shanxi and wait for the right time - the dynasty lasted for more than 200 years, and the reign of Zuo was only a few decades.

Zhang Siwei will no longer have his life and death in the hands of others!

He can also sit on the chessboard!

Zhang Siwei looked back and took a deep look at Wanshou Palace.

Waving his sleeves, taking long strides, he turned around and left.

At this moment, it is like a fettered bird returning to the forest, no longer trapped by the net and cage!

…

Wait until Zhang Siwei leaves.

Zhu Yijun looked at the direction Zhang Siwei was leaving, stood up slowly, and waved away the ministers and Zhongshu Sheren.

He paced gently, walked in the center of the hall, stood where Zhang Siwei was standing just now, and said softly: "Zhang Siwei's character and behavior in just a short period of time really impressed me. It's like he has been reborn!"

The little emperor stood in the empty palace, standing with his hands behind his hands, seeming to be talking to himself.

But apparently not.

Suddenly, an old voice sounded from behind the little emperor: "Did your Majesty believe Zhang Siwei's hypocrisy?"

Xu Jie slowly walked out from behind the screen, stood behind the emperor, and gave a reminder.

Zhu Yijun didn't look back and shook his head: "That's not true, it's just a sigh of relief."

"I didn't capture the person directly. It's really not good to kill an important minister for no reason, otherwise I wouldn't have started with his father."

After hearing the emperor's words, Xu Jie's face showed a hint of sadness, as if he was thinking of his second son.

The little emperor is really cruel and ruthless.

Fortunately, he had a good disciple, otherwise he would probably end up like Zhang Siwei.

Xu Jie thought wildly for a while, then calmly said: "It's true that Zhang Siwei went to Wang Chonggu to plead guilty in the past few days, and also dissipated all his wealth. He visited all the houses, obviously to prevent His Majesty from turning against him."

Zhu Yijun sighed: "The main thing is Wang Chonggu."

"He was indifferent to Tan Lun killing Zhang Yunling, but he certainly couldn't accept that I killed Zhang Siwei."

"With this sword strike, I will be relieved, but the three Jin Dynasties will really be in chaos."

The Jin Party is connected by interests, and these things are all considered clear.

There is a balance in your mind about what is beneficial to compromise and what is detrimental to long-term interests if compromised.

Otherwise, outsiders really think that Wang Chonggu is honest and cannot see Zhang Siwei's little thoughts, so they still honestly let him sleep in peace and contentment?

Make it for the emperor to see!

Not only Wang Chonggu, but also once he did something that did not follow political rules such as killing a minister without permission.

Shi Maohua, the Minister of the Ministry of War, Ma Ziqiang, the Minister of Rites, and Huo Ji, the censor of the right capital. These people would fall out with him immediately.

Even the other Southern Zhili Township Party and the Qin Party are in a mess, and they all have different intentions.

It took a lot of effort to create a situation where we can tolerate each other for the sake of the country, but in an instant, we will be separated from each other.

The situations are intertwined, and one move affects the whole body.

Xu Jie naturally understood this truth, but he could not help but feel it was a pity: "With his departure, the rights and wrongs of the Three Jin Lands will probably be inevitable."

Zhu Yijun chuckled: "I don't know what he is thinking."

"It's just asking for death."

Just kidding, you, Zhang Siwei, are still growing up while playing with me, who cares?

Zhu Yijun didn't mind temporarily appeasing Zhang Siwei and promoting him to the party in order to buy time for the cook to relieve himself.
