If it were someone like Emperor Jiajing, even if he was "reminded", he might be upset or rebellious, and he would continue to act according to his own ideas.

But Emperor Wanli did not have such means and strong will. If he was reminded that it might cause trouble, he would probably avoid it and not want to confront the trouble head on.

The next day, Wang Xiangmeng went to work in the Literary and Selection Department. He met Gu Xiancheng, a member of the Communist Party of China. He couldn't help but persuade him: "Gu Jun, please resign yourself. Only in this way can the peace of the court be guaranteed."

Gu Xiancheng, who made up his mind to take a gamble, said proudly: "I have already ignored myself."

Wang Xiangmeng shook his head and said nothing more.

A few days later, Chen Ju, an eunuch with a pen, suddenly came to the Ministry of Personnel to see Gu Xiancheng.

After the screen retreated, Chen Ju showed a secret letter to Gu Xiancheng and said: "The emperor is consulting you with a secret letter. You can answer it here, and then I will take it back to the palace and present it to you."

Gu Xiancheng took the secret letter, opened it and looked at it carefully.

Seeing this, Eunuch Chen shook his head secretly. He didn't know if Gu Xiancheng was a talented person, but he was definitely not as good as Lin Tailai.

Lin Tailai also encountered such a thing two years ago, but Lin Tailai did not choose to open it in person, but asked himself, the messenger angel, to read it out. This was evident in his caution.

If you read something in writing, you need to answer with a pen; if you hear a message, you only need to answer orally.

Gu Xiancheng looked at the secret letter, and it was written in royal writing: "In the past, I consulted Lin Tailai on the basis of the country, and he suggested that the Yuan Dynasty has no legitimate son, and the future is unknown.

Therefore, you can first make all three princes kings. If there is no legitimate son in the future, you can choose the good one and make him the heir apparent.

Now, based on Lin Tailai’s advice, what do you think we should do?”

After reading it, Gu Xiancheng felt bitter in his heart. Why did the emperor use such a big issue to force him to question him?

Shouldn't you give yourself a smile and encourage yourself first?

When I came up and asked him like this, there was no room to move around! I haven't received any benefits yet, so how dare I express my position?

If the emperor treats your ministers like this, then who would dare to sacrifice their lives rashly?

I am not an important minister, so I can’t decide anything in this regard!

Eunuch Chen urged: "It's late today, don't be in a daze, write a memorial and answer it!"

Gu Xiancheng stared at the name "Lin Tailai" on the secret note, and cursed in his heart, Lin Tailai, you have thick eyebrows and big eyes, you turned out to be such a face in private.

Feeling that the pen in his hand was more than a thousand pieces, Gu Xiancheng couldn't help but ask: "Did Lin Tailai write the memorial and answers by hand?"

Eunuch Chen replied: "He answered orally."

Gu Xiancheng was overjoyed and said quickly: "Can I answer it orally?"

If you just express your position verbally and don't leave any handwriting, you will be much more flexible.

Ever since the secrets of the chief minister were leaked at the end of the 19th year of Wanli, no one could trust the emperor's integrity.

But Eunuch Chen simply refused and said: "No! It must be written by hand."

Gu Xiancheng questioned: "Why can Lin Tailai answer orally?"

Eunuch Chen said disdainfully: "What's your level? Can you compare with Lin Tailai?

With Lin Tailai's status and achievements, as long as he does not openly oppose the third son of the emperor, the emperor will have no other demands!

Besides, Lin Tailai has many great uses, and the emperor is not willing to force Lin Tailai to take a stand on national issues!"

By implication, what ability and merit do you have to demand the same transcendent treatment as Lin Tailai?

In the past seven or eight years, although Gu Xiancheng was tortured many times by Lin Tailai, his mentality has always been tight and he is very tolerant.

But today, after hearing these words from Eunuch Chen, my guard finally broke.

How could the emperor be such an emperor? A foolish emperor! A foolish emperor who does not distinguish between loyalty and treachery!

"If there is a direct descendant, there is no direct descendant. It has been established for eternity and cannot be changed!" Gu Xiancheng shouted crazily, as if he was venting some dissatisfaction.

Eunuch Chen: "."

Fortunately, I deliberately tested it, and found out that this person was not made to be a lonely minister at all, and he was not worthy of support at all.
