"Ai Qing, please explain this to me, please?" Emperor Tianqi looked at Zhou Jiamo, who had a strange look on his face. Knowing that the heat was almost done, he said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, I believe that with your Majesty's intelligence, you have understood the meaning of this sentence a long time ago." Zhou Jiamo is not stupid either. After many ups and downs in the officialdom, this person has become much smoother. When he was young, he had to serve the country.

His ambitions have been diminished a lot, but after a conversation with Emperor Tianqi, the revenge in his heart seemed to be ignited again, and the dreams of his youth seemed to have awakened again. Despite this, he still held the person in his arms.

The middle-aged man was reserved and continued to practice Tai Chi with Emperor Tianqi.

Emperor Tianqi could naturally understand the meaning of Zhou Jiamo's words. He was simply telling himself that he had understood what he was saying. If you have anything to say, just say it! Is it interesting to go around like this?

Slowly nodding his head, Emperor Tianqi said in a deep voice: "To borrow a quote from Zhuge Liang, Yizhou is tired and disadvantaged, and this is the autumn of life and death. The Kingdom of Shu is tired, but there are also Zhuge Wuhou who dedicated his life and died. Now our Ming Dynasty can be called

The building is about to collapse and the country is riddled with holes, but at this time, what are these ministers of the Ming Dynasty doing?" At this time, the suppressed anger in Emperor Tianqi's heart seemed to have found a place to vent, and Emperor Tianqi's voice sounded in the empty hall.

The constant reverberation shocked the whole hall, and also shocked Zhou Jiamo's body and mind. His body was trembling slightly. If Huai Cai met the wise Lord, then he would have no regrets in his life.

"They are fighting for power and poaching the Ming Dynasty. Have they ever thought that after the nest is overturned, how can the eggs be intact? Or for them, it is just a change of masters, but where have they read the books of the sages for so many years?

Is it okay? I usually talk a lot about noble words, but no one can do anything less. Just in response to that sentence, there are thousands of words in my pen, but I have no plan in my mind. Before Wen Tianxiang died, he said, what is the meaning of reading the books of sages? "Apocalypse"

The emperor suddenly looked like a madman, his eyes quickly became blood red due to anger, and he reached out and pulled out the sword from his waist.

Emperor Tianqi pointed his sword at Zhou Jiamo, stared at him, and shouted loudly: "Are you an important minister of the Ming Dynasty? Are you willing to revitalize the Ming Dynasty with me? If you don't mean what you say, I will destroy your nine tribes. If you now

Tell me, you can't do it, and I will let you become an official." At this time, Emperor Tianqi had already put the sword on Zhou Jiamo's neck, and he would conduct a test on ministers he was not sure about, and Zhou Jiamo was the first one Emperor Tianqi wanted to test.

People. Emperor Tianqi looks forward to such capable ministers from the bottom of his heart. However, if they are deeply involved in party disputes, let alone doing practical things, it is hard to say whether they can stick to their true intentions.

Zhou Jiamo didn't expect that Emperor Tianqi would do such a thing. He couldn't help but raise his head and look at Emperor Tianqi, but what he saw was Emperor Tianqi's angry eyes. Although it was an angry look, Zhou Jiamo saw a trace of trust, but more of it

Looking forward to it. At this moment, he couldn't help but think of his dream when he was young, and his lofty ambition to rule the country and bring peace to the world, and something suddenly burst out of his chest.

Knocking his head to the ground fiercely, he said with a trembling voice: "Confucius said Cheng Ren, Mencius said Qi Yi. I am willing to serve as your Majesty's vanguard, and I will not regret it even if I die."

Emperor Tianqi put away his sword, slowly helped Zhou Jiamo up, patted his shoulder and said: "If you don't let me down, I will never let you down. If the Ming Dynasty is destroyed in the future, I hope that your beloved can be with me."

around."

"If that time really comes, I will not be by your Majesty's side. Although I can't go into battle with military force, I can't rule the world with my writing. But your Majesty leads me as a national soldier, and I will repay you with a national soldier. When that time comes, I am willing to carry a three-foot green sword.

I will fight to the death for His Majesty." At this time, Zhou Jiamo had already developed in his heart the belief that a scholar would die for his bosom friend. If he could meet such a worthy king in this life, why would he hesitate to die? This may be the integrity of a scholar, the backbone of a scholar.

, the backbone of the literati.

Patting Zhou Jiamo's shoulder vigorously, Emperor Tianqi said vigorously: "If you have any ideas, just let me go and take action, I will make the decision for you."

"Your Majesty, most of the ministers in the DPRK are forming cliques for personal gain. If you want to clarify the administration of officials, the first step is to clarify the court and drive all these people out of the court. Only then can you quickly clarify the administration of officials by appointing talented people."

He threw out his opinions, which were based on his experience as an official for so many years. He had strong confidence in the emperor in front of him, and naturally he no longer had any reservations when he spoke.

"I don't want to eliminate party strife and clarify officialdom in one fell swoop, but it's not easy. The forces in the court are intricately intertwined and can affect the whole body. After Aiqing takes office, you can first select a group of capable and talented officials to use all their abilities.

Write everything down and send it to me. When the time is right, I will resolve the party disputes and clarify the government in one fell swoop." Zhou Jiamo's opinion is naturally good, but it is easier said than done! The Ming Dynasty has been suffering from long-standing malpractices.

It can be said that it is hard to get back. It is naturally impossible to achieve something in one step.

"Yes, I obey the order." Although Emperor Tianqi did not know his own way, Zhou Jiamo felt more at ease because the emperor was experienced in planning the country. At this time, he felt more at ease and more motivated.

.

With full joy and hope for the future, Zhou Jiamo left the Qianqing Palace. At this time, he seemed to see the resurgence of the Ming Dynasty. A powerful dynasty, a wise monarch, and his own generation of wise ministers will surely leave a mark in history.

.

After coming out of the Qianqing Palace, Zhou Jiamo met two people at the gate of the Forbidden City, perhaps two people waiting for him. These two people were Yang Lian and Zuo Guangdou.

"Brother Zhou, I wonder why Your Majesty summoned you?" Zuo Guangdou was impatient and asked impatiently when he saw Zhou Jiamo.

Zhou Jiamo knew that Emperor Tianqi's words were from his heart and should never be told to others, but he could not bear to deceive his good friend, so he could only say: "Your Majesty asked me two questions."

"What's the problem?" Zuo Guangdou asked hurriedly, his eyes full of expectation, but he knew better than to worry about gains and losses.

"The first question is what is meant by reading books from sages? The second question is why do we study?" After saying that, Zhou Jiamo left without looking back, leaving only Yang Lian and Zuo Guangdou who were confused.

After the two looked at each other, Zuo Guangdou's face was still full of confusion, but Yang Lian on the other side had a hint of enlightenment and said thoughtfully: "Yes! What do you mean by reading the book of sages!" After finishing speaking,

Ignoring Zuo Guangdou's questioning, he quickly walked towards Zhou Jiamo.
