Chen Ju's heart skipped a beat. Based on his understanding of Emperor Wanli, he knew that Emperor Wanli had really committed murderous intentions towards Guo Zhiyuan, but he could no longer protect Guo Zhiyuan. Chen Yiguan's accusation against Guo Zhiyuan was indeed too serious. If he protects Guo Zhiyuan again, it would affect Emperor Wanli's trust in him. So he said nothing and bowed respectfully to Emperor Wanli and said: "I obey the order!"

The efficiency of the East Factory is indeed very high. Chen Ju came back to report after an hour. Guo Zhiyuan had left the capital, so Chen Ju naturally could not bring him back. When Emperor Wanli saw Chen Ju come back alone to report, his eyes became even colder, and he said in a cold voice: "Carantor, where is Guo Zhiyuan?!"

Chen Ju could only tell the truth and said with a thorny blow: "When the old slave brought people to Guo's mansion, Guo Zhiyuan had already left the capital and returned to Dongfan to take office!..."

Chen Yiguan immediately shouted excitedly, "Master, the old minister is right! Guo Zhiyuan is obviously guilty, so he left the capital so anxiously! The old minister asked the emperor to send the Jinyiwei to chase him immediately, and he must capture Guo Zhiyuan back!"

Emperor Wanli had already had murderous intent to Guo Zhiyuan. After saying this to Chen Yiguan, the murderous intent became even stronger. He raised his hand and was about to issue an order to arrest Guo Zhiyuan, but Chen Ju suddenly said: "Guo Zhiyuan seems to know that the emperor will summon him. Before leaving, he left a letter for the old slave to submit it to the emperor. Do the emperor want to read it in person?..." As he said that, he took out a written letter from his sleeve and prepared to submit it to Emperor Wanli.

"No! Is he showing me that he is looking forward to something like a god? Since he dares not come to see me, he is a thief and has ill-behaved!..." Emperor Wanli waved his hand in anger and said in anger.

Chen Ju was deeply favored by Emperor Wanli because he knew to give Emperor Wanli some advice at the right time to avoid Emperor Wanli making a wrong decision. In addition, he had a good impression of Guo Zhiyuan and did not mind helping Guo Zhiyuan speak without affecting Emperor Wanli's trust in him. Then he said carefully: "Master, Guo Zhiyuan has made contributions to the state, and the court is the time to employ people. The Master might as well give him another chance to hear what he said. Maybe he has a last resort?..."

Emperor Wanli glanced at Chen Ju. As his most trusted eunuch, Chen Ju still had a certain weight in his heart. He waved his hand casually and said, "Then you read it directly, I see what else can he say?!"

"I obey the order!" Chen Ju bowed respectfully to Wanli, and then opened the letter written by Guo Zhiyuan and began to believe: "The emperor said that when I attacked Dongba, the remaining rebels could not stand, and the soldiers who attacked the city suffered heavy casualties. I thought, it would be great if the soldiers under my command could fly over the city wall. At this time, I suddenly had a whim. Thinking of the Kongming lantern that I played when I was young, I thought that if I could invent a Kongming lantern that could carry people to fly, it would be equivalent to inventing a Kongming lantern that could be used by people. Are you a powerful weapon to siege? After many experiments, I finally invented this object. I am very excited. If I have this powerful weapon, my Ming Dynasty is invincible in the world. Is there no city that can stop my Ming Dynasty? I am ready to present this object to the saint, but there are still some imperfections in this object that must be used through practice. I thought of using this time to practice it personally, and then present this object to the saint!…”

"It was through this practice that I realized that I was too whimsical. I found that the Kongming lantern that I invented, which can carry manned flight, was fatal to death, but the speed was too slow. If we attacked the city, the enemy only needed tens of thousands of arrows to shoot at the same time, and the soldiers on it would be a living target for the enemy. This thing would be a bit useless. If it was just a toy, it might be quite novel, but if it was used for military purposes, it would be a disaster for the country!..."

"I know that I am too arrogant last night, and I will be criticized and impeached. I say that I am unspeakable, but I am not worried. I have already explained my thoughts to the priest, and with the priest's wiseness, I will not believe in slander! Through this incident, I am deeply reflecting on myself. I have always been obsessed with strange tricks and tricks, so I have abandoned my job. This incident made me see my own shortcomings, and at the same time, I am also scared. If I am just to invite favors and present this thing to the priest without practice, wouldn't I become a criminal who misleads the country?! I am therefore also came up with a truth that loyalty to the priest is not a verbal one's words, but a proven by actions. Therefore, I am decided to return to Dongfan immediately, develop Dongfan as soon as possible, and share the worries of the priest and the court..."

Emperor Wanli's face was gloomy after hearing Chen Ju read Guo Zhiyuan's letter. It should be said that Guo Zhiyuan's letter had somewhat dispelled some of his concerns. At least the reasons for Shen Yiguan's attack on Guo Zhiyuan just now were not valid. However, Guo Zhiyuan's separation was somewhat aggravated his suspicion of Guo Zhiyuan, so it was difficult for a moment to decide whether to believe Guo Zhiyuan.

Shen Yiguan finally got such an opportunity to kill Guo Zhiyuan, so he naturally did not want to let him go. He immediately said anxiously: "Your Majesty should not listen to Guo Zhiyuan's quibbling. He has always been clever and sarcastic, but it cannot cover up his wolf ambitions. If the Your Mother Majesty let him go, he would let the tiger return to the mountain and the dragon return to the sea, and there would be endless troubles!"

Chen Ju and Shen Yiguan are one of the eunuchs in the Silijian and the other are the chief ministers. They are both at the top of the pyramid of power. There are inevitably conflicts and conflicts. However, Chen Ju doesn't like to take over power, so he can still maintain the surface harmony. At this time, he felt a little uncomfortable when he saw Shen Yiguan grab Guo Zhiyuan and refused to let go. Suddenly, he interrupted coldly: "Shen Xiang's words are a bit inappropriate. Only the priest is the true dragon emperor in this world. Guo Zhiyuan is just a fifth-rank prefect, but Shen Xiang used "Dragon Return to the Sea" to describe him. Is it rare that Shen Xiang thinks that Guo Zhiyuan can be compared with the priest?"

Shen Yiguan was indeed too anxious to kill Guo Zhiyuan, and he was a little verbal. Now that Chen Ju caught his grammatical disease, he suddenly felt scared and sweated. He didn't care about attacking Guo Zhiyuan. He quickly knelt down on the ground and apologized in a panic: "The old minister said nothing, please forgive me!"

Emperor Wanli was actually not very satisfied with the chief assistant Shen Yiguan, but there was no one available at hand, so Shen Yiguan was the chief assistant. Seeing Shen Yiguan’s embarrassing look, he became more and more displeased. In contrast, he felt that Guo Zhiyuan’s talent was indeed rare, so he became polite and did not want to delve into it further. He waved his hand and said, “There is a saying in Guo Zhiyuan’s letter that is right. Loyalty to the emperor and patriotism is not something that is verbal, but proved by actions. Then I will take a look at who is truly loyal to me!…”
