Chapter 437: Thinking Behind Closed Doors
The emperor now feels that he has been forced into a corner by these ministers, and he doesn't know that this play directed by King Zhongshun now, but the play was not performed well and was smashed on the stage. Now it's about letting him, the emperor, end up for him.
The emperor thought about it for a while, and felt that this matter must not be investigated by the three law divisions. With the measurement of the loyal and obedient king, I am afraid that as long as it is checked, it will be full of flaws.
So the emperor had no choice but to stand up and say in the direction of Jia Ke: "Jia Aiqing, I know that you have been wronged in this matter, and I also ask Jia Aiqing Haihan to understand my difficulties as a brother." The emperor has shed tears when he says this, he is aggrieved by Jia Ke, he now wants to come to the last emperor of the dynasty, and the puppet emperor is probably what he looks like.
Jia Ke saw that the emperor's face was full of tears, so he arched his hand and said to the emperor: "Although what the emperor said is good, but the king of Zhongshun has really done it this time, and the emperor still punishes him slightly, so that he can remember this lesson, and he will not dare to act recklessly in the future." ”
After listening to Jia Ke's words, the emperor understood what he meant. This is to make the emperor punish the king of loyalty to some extent.
The emperor is finally relieved now, as long as Jia Ke can make a condition, this is good, the emperor sat on the throne again and thought about it, and then issued an order: "The loyal and obedient king behaves perversely, and he is deeply disappointed, and from today he will think about it behind closed doors for three months, and demote the prince to the prince of the county." I hope that he will be reformed from now on. ”
When the emperor said this, he glanced at Jia Ke again. Seeing that Jia Ke had no objections, he said to Xia Shouzhong next to him: "You will go to the Zhongshun Palace's decree in a while, let him give me a good study at home, and dare to mess around in the future, don't blame me for being polite." ”
Zhang Chaoxin just finished speaking as soon as the emperor finished speaking, and then went out to play again: "Your Majesty, the imperial history Wang Li is talking nonsense, and the false minister cannot be punished, please Your Majesty will issue a decree to punish severely." ”
When Yushi Wang Li heard Zhang Chaoxin's words, he was already trembling, and he came out of the class tremblingly. He knelt down on the main hall, not saying a word, and kept sobbing.
The emperor looked at him with some pity, this person was just a pawn sent by the king of Zhongshun. It's kind of a service for him, but now I can't help but sacrifice him.
"Yushi Wang Li framed the minister, and not punishing it was not enough to calm the anger of the public. Sent to Hainan, you will never be allowed to return to Beijing, so be it. ”
After the emperor said this, he didn't care anymore, and all the civil and military officers in the main hall left the throne directly, and left the Qianqing Gate from the back and went back to the inner palace.
Seeing the emperor walking away, all the civil and military officers also went to the court and walked outside the palace gate. As they walked, there was a lot of discussion, and they were now beginning to be dissatisfied with the King and the Emperor.
This time, King Zhongshun did a little too much, and even executed the long history of his own mansion because of a trivial matter. What is the difference between this and the tyrannical kings of ancient times?
And the emperor also lost his original wisdom, and even shielded his brothers, ignoring the feelings of his ministers.
Liu Yu walked out, listening to the discussions of the ministers, and felt half cold in his heart.
Originally, the reason why the emperor was able to confront Jia Ke was because of the support of all the civil servants in the court. And now these ministers are already dissatisfied with the emperor, will they still support the emperor in the future? This time, the emperor disappointed both civil and military in dealing with the matter of your long death.
Liu Yu walked out alone in a daze, and happened to run into Sun Yan, the secretary of the Criminal Department, so he hurried a few steps to his side, grabbed the sleeve of his robe and asked, "Brother Sun, what do you mean by this?" Why did you help Jia Ke in the main hall just now? ”
Sun Yan, the secretary of the Criminal Department, looked at Liu Yu and said word by word: "Who does Brother Liu think I am?" ”
Liu Yu didn't understand what he meant, "What does Brother Sun mean?" Of course, you are the minister of the imperial court, the secretary of the criminal department. ”
Sun Yan heard him say this, and then said with a stiff face: "Since Brother Liu knows that I am the secretary of the Criminal Department, he still asks so?" Don't you know that the book of the criminal department is to avenge the blood of the people of the world. ”
Liu Yu was stunned after hearing his words, as if he wanted to get to know Sun Yan again, he looked at him carefully. Then I couldn't help but admire in my heart.
Liu Yu now seems that Sun Yan was not on Jia Ke's side just now, he was completely responsible for re-entering the Criminal Department. Such a talent can really be regarded as above board, and compared with him, his character is much worse. However, such people are more likely to be trusted.
Liu Yu arched his hand ashamedly and said, "Brother Sun, it's the junior brother I misunderstood you, and I apologize to you here." ”
After Liu Yu finished speaking, it was like Sun Yan bowing deeply.
Sun Yan hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, and then said: "As long as I am the secretary of the criminal department for one day, I will be worthy of the court and the people of the world." Although I can deal with Jia Ke this time, I can't let Li Changshi be wronged. ”
"Brother Sun, don't say it, I understand, little brother." Liu Yu then took Sun Yan's hand and shook it heavily, before walking out of the hall.
Sun Yan looked at his back at this time, but a sarcastic smile appeared on his face. This person is indeed an honest gentleman, but it is precisely because he is a gentleman that he can be deceived in a way.
And Jia Ke had just walked out of the palace at this time, and now the more he thought about it, the more he held his breath, just now he was soft-hearted, and he actually sympathized with the emperor, which is simply a ghost.
Now it's a good situation, and I want to let King Zhongshun finish it completely, but now it's just three months of studying behind closed doors in the palace, which is simply an itch for King Zhongshun.
The more Jia Ke thought about it, the more he wanted to lose his temper, but this was at the gate of the palace, and he had nowhere to vent, and this fire was held in his heart, which made him very uncomfortable.
At this time, Liu Yu was holding Jia Ke's fire dragon horse and had already come to her side.
"Uncle, are we going back home now or what?"
Jia Ke had a gloomy face and did not speak. He stood next to the dragon pony, touching the fluff of the dragon pony with one hand, thinking about how to vent his anger.
"You go to the Ruijian camp, transfer 1,000 men and horses to me, and surround the Zhongshun palace for me."
After Jia Ke finished speaking, he took out a waist card from his arms and threw it into Liu Yu's hand.
Liu Yu took Jia Ke's token, and he was a little worried in his heart, if he was not protecting the king of Zhongshun in the court, his master was going to act privately.
"Master, we are transferring troops privately, will the emperor make any moves?"
Liu Yu is afraid that he will move his whole body, and Jia Ke's transfer of troops here will not make the emperor think that Jia Ke has rebelled, so that the situation will be out of control.
"The emperor has made a decree, the king of Zhongshun has been thinking about it behind closed doors for three months, I think this is just to tickle the king of Zhongshun, and he didn't take me in his eyes at all, you ordered the thousand households with the troops, this time to surround the palace of Zhongshun, only one person needs to enter and exit every day, and the door of the palace must be carefully searched, and nothing unclean must be brought in, I want to let the king of Zhongshun in these three months, and there is no difference between imprisonment."
After listening to Jia Ke's words, Liu Yu felt a little funny in his heart, his master is only like a young man now. In the past, Jia Ke's actions were very old-fashioned, and he was not at all like what he should have at this age.
Now Jia Ke doesn't care about being angry with himself, just like a young man with a reckless temper.
Liu Yu didn't worry anymore after getting an explanation, this time the King of Zhongshun did something wrong, what if Jia Ke took revenge on the emperor?
At this time, the emperor had already returned to the East Warm Pavilion, and as soon as he entered the East Warm Pavilion, he kicked a large vase next to him to pieces.
Then it wasn't fun, and a eunuch was grabbed from the side and fought to the death. And although the eunuch who was beaten had been beaten to the point that his nose was blue and his face was swollen, he didn't dare to say anything.
After a while, the emperor got tired. Only then did he push the eunuch aside and return to the throne on the Dongnuan Pavilion.
And Xia Shouzhong didn't know where to come out at this time, he looked at the little eunuch who had been beaten to the ground by the emperor, and he was afraid for a while.
If he hadn't followed the emperor for so many years and knew the emperor's temper, I'm afraid he would be the one who is being beaten now.
Xia Shouzhong came to the emperor in three steps and two steps, lowered his head and said to the emperor: "Long live the lord, the slave has already sent someone to the palace of Zhongshun to pass the decree." ”
The emperor was even more furious after hearing this, this loyal and obedient king was originally competing with the crown prince for the country, but now how did he become such a villain who is greedy for money and will repay him.
"Don't mention this person to me from now on, don't you think he hasn't given me enough trouble?"
But Xia Shouzhong then said to the emperor: "Long live Lord, when the servants came back after passing the will, a group of soldiers came in from outside the city and surrounded the Zhongshun Palace. In the Chungshun Palace, internal and external transportation has been cut off. ”
After Xia Shouzhong said this, he quietly stepped aside, waiting for the emperor's instructions.
After listening to Xia Shouzhong's words, the emperor's eyebrows jumped. This is Jia Keyin's disobedience, and he wants to be angry with the king of Zhongshun through his own will.
But the emperor couldn't do anything now, so he could only grit his teeth and say with a calm face: "Let him go, King Zhongshun should also learn some lessons, and if King Zhongshun wants to enter the palace after three months, he will be blocked." ”
Xia Shouzhong hurriedly agreed, and now he knew that he was afraid that the emperor had begun to dislike King Zhongshun. But also, this time the King of Zhongshun really made too much trouble, and even made the emperor so embarrassed in front of the public.
The emperor sat there and gasped for a moment, then suddenly asked, "How are the affairs of the three major battalions going?" Is there any progress? ”
Xia Shouzhong knew what the emperor was asking? hurriedly returned the salute and said: "Long live Lord Qiyu, the minions have contacted several major generals in the three major battalions, but as soon as these people heard the name of the minions, they immediately drove the contacts out. ”
"Then you mean that there is no one left, so what use do I want you to have?" The emperor is angry now, and no matter how many years Xia Shouzhong has followed him, he scolds him with his head and face.
Xia Shouzhong stood with his hands down, his head bowed and there to bear the emperor's wrath. Don't dare to complain at all.
The emperor scolded for a while and felt thirsty, picked up the cup and took a sip of water, and then asked, "What about the progress of the infantry commander Yamen and the forbidden army?" ”
Xia Shouzhong heard the emperor ask again, and then he said tremblingly: "Long live Lord, the slaves are really incompetent, and the infantry commander Yamen is well managed by Jia Ke, like an iron bucket." Several of the minions have been trapped. ”
"Waste, what's the use of raising you people? I know how to eat, but I don't know how to work. ”
Xia Shouzhong heard that the emperor was about to scold again, and hurriedly added: "Long live the lord, the minions are developing very well in the forbidden army. Many of the generals in the forbidden army originally followed the emperor, and now they are very willing to obey the emperor's command. ”
