108 Tan Qian
On the second day after Han Fu's death, Zhong Shaoyun also died of stick sores that did not heal. As soon as this news came out, it was really like a sharp blade, piercing the last window paper in an instant. Tan Qian jumped out first, and Shangshu scolded the emperor of the current dynasty for ignoring the ancestral system, scolding the official, and asking the emperor to issue an edict for self-examination, in order to thank the world and reassure the ministers.
Tan Qian is a talented man, a young man, who has been in three dynasties, and is now over half a hundred years old, but he is a very assertive person. However, Tan Qian has always been known for his loyalty and uprightness, and he treats the affairs of his family and country out of public intentions, and he is extremely respectable in his daily life, so he is supported by most of the courtiers in the court. Emperor Jing was outnumbered, so he had to be released from the prison and reinstated. Later, when things subsided, Emperor Jing introspected and found that what Tan Qian said was not wrong, so he became close to him day by day, and praised him personally: "I have Tan Qian, it is really like Tang Taizong has Wei Zhengye." β
Tan Qian has since become famous. This matter is like a gold medal for avoiding death, even if he later annoyed the first emperor several times because of his direct admonitions, the first emperor did not dare to punish him slightly. But Zhu Shiyang didn't eat this set, and immediately became furious, and sent Tan Qian to Dongchang Prison. In this way, it really stabbed the hornet's nest, and the imperial historians who had endured it for a long time came forward one after another, asking the emperor to release Tan Qian. When the court and the central government were in turmoil, some ministers spontaneously knelt outside the Fengtian Hall in protest.
A few days passed in the blink of an eye, although Zhu Shiyang had a tough attitude, he finally couldn't resist the public opinion that hit like a tidal wave, and the bullets flew like snowflakes, and he gradually became a little depressed and depressed, and even his face became haggard.
On this day, it was the time of unitary, because it was nearly the second watch, and the palace doors everywhere had already been locked, and there was silence in all directions. After Shuangxi finished dinner, he came to the Qianqing Palace to take Guixi's class and keep vigil for the emperor.
Zhu Shiyang has not yet rested, and is watching the music in the hall. In the past few days, many ministers have knelt outside the Fengtian Hall to plead for Tan Qian, delaying the official affairs in their hands, and the decrees in the court are not working, so Zhu Shiyang has to suffer a little, and he has to personally inquire about everything, and often he can't rest after the second watch.
The same is true on this day. Shuangxi stood aside and waited for a while, and when he saw Zhu Shiyang concentrating, he quietly picked up the teacup and went out to change the tea, and instructed the palace people waiting outside the warm pavilion to prepare hot soup and hand towels, so that they could serve the emperor to freshen up.
Shuangxi went to change the hot tea and came back, and then took a tin to dial a few charcoal braziers in the warm pavilion, and suddenly heard Zhu Shiyang ask: "Where did you clean up for me when General Dingyuan asked for food?"
Shuangxi hurriedly said: "A few days ago, it was sent to the household department according to the cabinet's vote, but there were several directors of the household department and Lang Zhong kneeling outside the Fengtian Hall and refused to do things, so that the official affairs of the ministry were chaotic, so there has been no reply so far. The head of the household department has already introspected and asked for a few days of relief. β
Shuangxi was extremely careful in his tone when he talked about the official's kneeling, for fear of provoking the emperor's displeasure. Zhu Shiyang was not angry, but sighed and said, "Bring that piece to me." β
Shuangxi went to get it, Zhu Shiyang took it and flipped it over, Xu is household department Shangshu also wrote the number of General Dingyuan's grain requests in the chapter, and Zhu Shiyang instructed Shuangxi again: "Bring my abacus." β
Double Happiness hurriedly went to get the abacus. The royal abacus is extremely luxurious, the border of sandalwood, red gold is bone, and jasper abacus beads are crisp and crisp. Zhu Shiyang was already tired at this time, holding the corner of his forehead with one hand and the abacus with the other, he was very serious, and stopped from time to time to take a few notes. In this way, more than half an hour passed, and the drums on the bell and drum tower had been struck twice. Shuangxi couldn't help but said softly: "Your Majesty, this is the second watch, rest early, there will be an early dynasty tomorrow." β
Zhu Shiyang said "hmm", but his posture remained the same, and Shuangxi didn't dare to urge again, so he had to be secretly anxious. After about half an hour, I saw Zhu Shiyang push the abacus and stand up. Shuangxi hurriedly instructed the palace people to bring in hot water, waited for Zhu Shiyang to freshen up and clean his face, and slept in the study that night.
Early the next morning, Shuangxi had always slept lightly because of the night, and woke up before dawn. The hall was quiet, only a few red candles were lit on the imitation of the Eastern Han Dynasty dragon pattern lampstand at the head of the bed, and the candles had already been tired of tears. The curtain of the imperial couch is lightly covered, and it is impossible to see the situation inside, only to hear the emperor's breathing is long, and it is obvious that he is sleeping deeply.
Shuangxi got up quietly, slowly cleaned up his bed, and when he looked up again, it was already the right time, and the bell and drum tower came to the sound of hitting the bell. The early dynasty was set at two o'clock in Yin, because of the dragon robe and crown and other accessories, the emperor often had to get up and prepare. Shuangxi came to the front of the bed with his hands and feet, lifted the corner of the curtain and took a look, and saw that the emperor was sleeping soundly, but he was not very stable, the brocade quilt was only covered to his chest, but his forehead was full of fine beads of sweat, and his brows were wrinkled, as if he was very tired.
Shuangxi remembered that the emperor had slept late last night, and because he was worried about the affairs of the previous dynasty, he kept tossing and turning, and he didn't fall asleep until the third watch passed, so he couldn't bear to wake up the emperor, and went outside to watch the palace people prepare to freshen up.
After about a quarter of an hour, everything was ready, and Shuangxi turned into the warm pavilion again, but saw that the emperor had woken up, Xu was too hot, and unbuttoned a few buttons on the collar of Bai Aya's bed, his black hair was scattered, and he stepped on his casual boots with bare feet, and was sitting on the edge of the couch in a daze. Shuangxi hurriedly said: "Is the emperor awake?" stepped forward to serve him to put on his shoes, and raised his voice to order the palace people waiting outside the warm pavilion to come in and freshen up for him.
Zhu Shiyang obviously didn't sleep well, he was dazed with a deep halo right now, and his voice was also very tired, so he asked Shuangxi, "When is it?"
Shuangxi said: "Back to the emperor, it's already time to pass." β
While the two were talking, the palace people came forward to serve Zhu Shiyang to freshen up. Zhu Shiyang rinsed his mouth with green salt, and someone from the palace brought a cup of hot tea up, Zhu Shiyang shook his head, saying that he would not eat it, but only talked to Shuangxi, and said, "Why don't you call me me." β
Shuangxi said: "The emperor is sleeping soundly, and the slave wants the emperor to sleep a little longer, so he went out first to watch the palace people prepare hot water." I was going to come back and call the emperor again, but who knew that the emperor would wake up by himself. β
Zhu Shiyang smiled and said, "Prepare a hot water job, how long can I sleep?"
Shuangxi said: "The emperor hasn't slept well in the past few days, and it's good to sleep for a while and a half." β
Zhu Shiyang smiled gently and said, "It's hard for you to have a heart." β
Shuangxi saw that he praised himself, so he was so unhappy that he served more and more diligently. After the dragon robe and accessories were properly dressed, it was past two o'clock, Shuangxi instructed the eunuch of Shangshan Jian to come in, put porridge and side dishes and pastries on the table, and ask the emperor to use some to go to the early court. Zhu Shiyang looked at it, had no appetite, and only instructed Shuangxi: "I have a headache, you come and rub me." Otherwise, it will hurt even more after those officials make noise. β
Shuangxi hurriedly waved his hand to let those palace people go out, cleaned his hands in the copper basin, and stepped forward to rub Zhu Shiyang's temples. Zhu Shiyang just leaned his head on the back of the chair, frowned slightly, and closed his eyes. From the perspective of double happiness, you can see the green halo under his eyes, because he is afraid of dazzling eyes when he gets up early, only a few thin candles are burned in the hall, which is dark and dark, and it seems that the blue halo is deep. Shuangxi thought about it, but couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty, or you will follow that class of officials and let Master Tan go." Tan Qian's life is small, but you don't have a good rest every day for this, but it's not worth it. β
Zhu Shiyang still closed his eyes, only frowned, and said, "Have you forgotten that the ministers are not allowed to interfere in politics?" Do you want to punish you for kneeling outside the Qianqing Gate for a few hours?"
Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor of this dynasty, was very strict, and once sighed when reading history: "For politics, we must first guard against internal and external defenses, and the previous generations of people and kings did not consider this, and they all suffered from it, and the affairs of the Han and Tang dynasties were still lamentable." Then in the five years of Hongwu, a three-foot iron plaque was erected outside the Qianqing Gate, and the text was cast on it: "The ministers shall not interfere in political affairs, and the offender will be beheaded." "To warn the officials who pass by.
Now the iron card is long gone, but Shuangxi knows about it, and hurriedly knelt down. Zhu Shiyang was not too angry, and only said lightly: "Let's drive, I want to go to court." β
In the early days, Zhu Shiyang was really condemned by all sides, and the imperial historians rushed to come out, enumerating Zhu Shiyang's crimes, and even turning over his absurd past to intercede for Tan Qian. Zhu Shiyang was physically and mentally exhausted, so he just kept silent, and finally suffered from retreating, and the ministers were still indignant.
Zhu Shiyang took Guixi, Shuangxi and two guards out of the Fengtian Palace from the back door, but did not return to the palace, but quietly went around the corridor to the eaves of the main hall, and watched the situation in front of the Fengtian Hall by the cover of the corridor pillars and the guards.
I saw that the ministers who came to the court were exiting the palace gate in turn, and they went down the white marble steps, and some of them stood still and did not leave. There are also some who do not go to the early court because they have nothing to do, but they have hurried from outside the palace at this time. These people cooperated in a bunch of things, pointing fingers and talking about it, although Zhu Shiyang couldn't hear it clearly from a distance, he also knew that it was for Tan Qian's imprisonment. After a while, they knelt down facing the main hall one by one, and some of them were elderly, their legs and feet were inconvenient, and they needed to be supported by others between kneeling.
Zhu Shiyang saw that the official uniforms of those people were colorful, including crimson, sea blue, and dark green, and the number of people seemed to be more than when he saw them yesterday, he was very helpless in his heart, sighed, and turned around to lead Guixi and Shuangxi back to the palace.
Lu Wenyuan and Fu Qian dispersed, walked outside the Fengtian Gate, and also found a secluded place to stand on their feet, looking at the ministers kneeling in front of the hall from behind. At this time, it was the middle of winter, the sky was cloudy and cold, and the dripping water turned into ice. Fu Qian was so cold that he sleeved his hands and said: "These people are really twisted, a kneeling in the cold winter is a day, and yesterday when the Hubu Shangshu was chatting, he told me that several old people have fallen ill." β
When Lu Wenyuan heard this, his face was full of sadness and he didn't say a word. Fu Qian sighed, and said: "The emperor has also consumed it with them, so it can be seen that this time it is angry." If you fight for each other, you can't take care of you anymore, and this is the only good thing. As he spoke, he gently touched Lu Wenyuan and said, "Have you been impeached less in the past few days?"
Lu Wenyuan didn't care what he said, but he occasionally heard this sentence, but his heart moved, and after thinking about it carefully, he understood everything. Fu Qian didn't notice what he meant, just blindly urged him: "Don't look at it, let's go." β
Unexpectedly, Lu Wenyuan turned his head and said, "You go back first, I want to enter the palace to see the emperor." β
Fu Qian was a little surprised, but then he was helpless, and said: "What else do you see, you drafted an edict for him yesterday, and he refused to see you, how can you be willing today? It is better to go back to the cabinet to rectify the official business, it is better to do these useless work." β
Lu Wenyuan said: "I have a way to let him see me." β
Fu Qian saw that he was stubborn, so he had no choice but to let him go.
Zhu Shiyang returned to the dormitory, first changed the court clothes, and then had some breakfast, because he was in a bad mood and had no intention of political affairs, he sat behind the imperial case under the window and read a book. The charcoal fire in the hall burned very vigorously, the warmth was smoky, and a few pots of Yao Huang peony were newly replaced on the flower stand, which was blooming to the extreme, and the breath was rich and calming, and Zhu Shiyang gradually fell asleep. Just as he was about to fall asleep, he heard Gui Xi open the cotton curtain and walked in, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, Lord Lu asks to see you." β
Zhu Shiyang was agitated, sobered up, but was inexplicably a little anxious, frowned, and said, "I don't see him, let him go." As he spoke, he dragged out a soft pillow from behind his waist and placed it on the imperial case, probably wanting to take a nap. This is a habit developed after asking about politics, just because I am afraid that I will sleep too comfortably on the couch and not wake up on time.
Gui Xi was a little embarrassed, and hesitated: "But Lord Lu said...... Seeing that there were many people waiting in the hall, he leaned over to Zhu Shiyang and whispered a few words.
Zhu Shiyang raised his eyes when he heard this, as if he was touched, thought about it, and finally said, "Announce him in." β
When Lu Wenyuan entered the hall, Zhu Shiyang had already stood up from behind the imperial case, standing in front of the window with his hands upright, wearing an autumn-colored Ruyi cloud pattern brocade robe and a jade crown on his head. Since Zhu Shiyang scolded the speaker in the morning, the two have not met in private for half a month, and Lu Wenyuan is now looking at him from behind, only to feel that he has lost a lot of weight, and he is more slender than before, but he is more lonely.
Zhu Shiyang heard him come in, so he dismissed the idle people waiting in the palace. Lu Wenyuan saw that his face was haggard, and the blue halo under his eyes could be seen clearly even if he was a foot away, and he couldn't help but feel a little sad in his heart, but he lowered his head and refused to show it.
Zhu Shiyang said: "What did you just say you know?"
Lu Wenyuan was sure and said, "The minister knows why the emperor insists on refusing to let Tan Qian go. β
Zhu Shiyang snorted coldly and didn't answer his words. Lu Wenyuan knelt down with his upright coat and said, "I beg the emperor to let Tan Qian go, the minister is not worthy of the emperor as a minister." β
Zhu Shiyang glanced at him and sneered: "What are you talking about?" I refused to let him go because he pointed at my nose and scolded me for being a tyrant. β
Lu Wenyuan said lightly: "But the emperor violated the ancestral system and scolded the official to death, and it is reasonable to be blamed for this." β
Zhu Shiyang's temperament was impatient, and he was provoked, so he couldn't hold his breath anymore, and said unhappily: "You don't want to be a saint in front of me! I haven't seen that you have been wronged and want to vent for you!"
Lu Wenyuan raised his head and said: "But in order to prevent the ministers from being impeached, the emperor will lead public opinion to himself, which is too naΓ―ve." The emperor is not a child anymore, how can he not even understand this truth? Originally, you and I only need to keep a low profile, and things will gradually subside. Although the official said that he had heard about it, he had no real handle, and how many of them could make trouble? Why can't the emperor put up with it?"
Zhu Shiyang said disdainfully: "I am the emperor, why should I endure it?"
Lu Wenyuan said: "Just because the emperor is the Son of Heaven, he has to endure what others can't bear." The emperor should have the temperament of joy and anger, the emperor is moody and reckless, and he can't even control his emotions, how can he control the world?"
Zhu Shiyang heard his sharp words, and said angrily: "Lu Wenyuan, you are presumptuous! Now that you have a clear relationship with me, don't think that you can still talk to me like before!"
Zhu Shiyang was furious, his voice was violent, and the hall was quiet for a while, only his sharp tail reverberated between the eaves beams, and gradually disappeared into silence. In the gilded dragon-patterned low furnace placed around, the burning hot coals occasionally burst out a few sparks, crackling, and causing people to be frightened.
Lu Wenyuan only knelt on the ground with his head down. After a while, I heard Zhu Shiyang's direction squirming, and in a trance, the autumn fragrant clothes embroidered with gold thread and moire had arrived in front of me. Zhu Shiyang leaned over and picked him up, and said, "Fang is my gaffe." But I'm like this because I care about you......" Zhu Shiyang said here, a little hesitant, perhaps because as an emperor, he didn't want to express his emotions easily, but he still continued: "What I care about most is you, and I don't want anything else." Now I only ask you, Lu Wenyuan, what do you care about the most?"
Lu Wenyuan raised his head and saw that his face like a clear breeze and moon was close at hand, and the two of them almost breathed each other. In the depths of his deep eyes, there seemed to be something surging, as if he was looking forward to something. Lu Wenyuan didn't dare to look at him, so he finally lowered his head and said slowly: "The minister only wishes that the country and the people will be safe, and the monarch and the minister will be harmonious." β
Zhu Shiyang listened and was silent for a long time. Lu Wenyuan didn't dare to look up at him, only felt that the hand that he had originally grabbed his forearm gradually lost its strength, and finally fell down, and after a while, he turned back and slowly paced back to the window, and said gloomily: "I'm tired, you retreat." β
Lu Wenyuan said: "The minister retired." He bowed and exited the warm pavilion.
Zhu Shiyang stood in front of the window, heard him leave, and didn't look back, just stared at the window paper in front of him. The window paper is made of cotton and linen, because it is used by the queen, it is made extraordinarily fine, the paper is snow-white, reflecting the vermilion window frame, which is particularly eye-catching, but after staring at it for a long time, it gradually becomes a little blurred. Gui Xi had already lifted the curtain at this time and came in to serve, because he had just heard the two arguing outside, he didn't dare to speak easily, and only stood quietly with his hands down. Zhu Shiyang instructed him: "You follow him and release Tan Qian." Gui was taken aback, hurriedly agreed "yes", turned around and chased out.
