VIII. The Pivotal Affair (2)
The emperor drank it, everyone in the hall was stunned, Prince Gong's body shook violently, the fold in his hand fell unconsciously, his body was soft, and he fell to the ground, everyone was shocked, and they didn't know what to say for a while, there was a dead silence in the hall, or Hu Linyi was astute, kowtowed again and again, and shouted loudly, "Long live the lord, please be careful!" ”
The emperor blushed and glared at Prince Gong, Wen Xiang was originally weak, and the hall was stuffy, hearing that the lord of a country said such a thing, he wailed, and suddenly fainted, which gave people steps, and Bao Jun didn't care whether he should speak at this time, and called people repeatedly: "Hurry up, carry it out, get cold water!" ”
Chen Shengwen hurriedly handed over the two little eunuchs and helped Wen Xiang up, and the emperor was also taken aback, "Call the imperial doctor quickly." When he was helped up, Wen Xiang had already made a ** sound, and the kings and ministers in the palace were relieved, and finally did not faint. But that's it, it's already a shocking thing, since the founding of the country, in the past two hundred years, the emperor actually said such a thing!
Li Hongzao's eyes were red, and he kowtowed a few times, "Your Majesty, how can such words come out of the emperor's mouth!" ”
Prince Gong was already in a daze for a while, his mind was blank, he was stunned and a little discouraged, and he didn't listen to Li Hongzao's words of advice in his ears, only to hear Li Hongzao's words getting higher and higher, and when he raised his head, the emperor's face became whiter and whiter.
"Duke Wenxiang is loyal to the country, and he is good at obeying the public, as in the situation just now, how can the emperor be indifferent? If you refuse to admonish and disguise wrongdoing, and do not cultivate holy virtues, you are afraid that the country will die! ”
"'All are guilty, and the sin is bowing!' The emperor was a little angry, "I've only been in power for a year and a half, could it be that in just one and a half years, I have made state affairs terrible?" All the blame is on me alone? ”
"The ministers did not dare to shirk responsibility. As long as the emperor is in morality and cultivation, the people's hearts are working hard, although internal and external troubles are alternate, there is always something to be taken afront, and the ministers, big and small, will never dare to perfunctory and selfish. The world, the emperor's world, if the emperor does not pay attention to the community, how can he work diligently? This is a very clear thing. ”
"I don't understand your words!" The emperor said indignantly, "From there, I don't care about the community? ”
"The holy bow is the hope of the four seas, and it is easy to take advantage of public opinion, that is, it is not important to take the community as the priority."
"What else?"
"The sacred study has not been completed. The emperor's first major task now is to study diligently. In the year of the emperor's practice, it was similar to Emperor Shengzuren, who was fourteen years old and worshipped, and in addition to major troubles, at the emperor's age, he had already begun to plan the withdrawal of the domain. The royal gate listens to the government, and the day is full of opportunities, and does not abolish sacred learning, not only often the imperial feast, but also does not have a day not to discuss knowledge with Hanlin in the south study. Your Majesty, please think about it, have you ever been able to study as diligently as the Holy Ancestor? ”
"What else?"
Prince Gong couldn't speak at this time, so he could only continue to say Li Hongzao, "The matter of the Eight Banners is the foundation of the country, and it can't be easily moved," in fact, it was inappropriate for him to say this, but Li Hongzao could only grit his teeth and continue, the emperor has always respected this master, Prince Gong couldn't speak, so he had to come and continue, "Ding Yin is the daily application of the Eight Banners, and it can't be changed at will!" Chongqi and his people, with sinister intentions, use strange things to invite credit, please dismiss the post of the Eight Banners of the Chongqi Rite Department! ”
The emperor just exhaled and stiffened his head and didn't speak, he looked around at everyone, "Is that what everyone meant?" Prince Gong, you say! ”
Prince Gong was silent, "Yes, the ministers all mean this!" ”
"Very good," the emperor suddenly stopped being angry, at least on his face, he couldn't see it, "you stand down, I think about it, and then decide." ”
Prince Gong and the others kowtowed, retreated without a word, the emperor sat on the throne, with a sneer on his mouth, and picked up a blank paper in his hand for transferring officials, on which a column of heads was written, all of which were to be promoted in the near future, the left waiter of the household department Lang Kuiling planned to be promoted to the Ministry of Works, the emperor's memory is very good, this person and Prince Gong's father-in-law, the late Gui Liang is the same clan, "It is said that it is so loyal to the country, it is not blindly nepotistic!" Hmph," the emperor took a picture of the piece of paper and called it Chen Shengwen, "What about that kid Zaicheng?!" ”
"I didn't enter the palace today, I asked someone to inquire, and I heard that I was beaten by the king of Yizheng, and I couldn't move while lying on the bed."
"Hmph, is it a bitter meat trick?" The emperor had a gloomy face, "In the excerpt, Yang Qiu said that I wander all day long, and I don't go to school without permission, and I am even lazy in government affairs, okay, here and outside, before and after, these people outside must be taken care of!" ”
Chen Shengwen didn't dare to answer, just let the emperor vent himself, and after a while, a little eunuch hurriedly came in and kowtowed, "Long live the lord, Cheng Engong was about to enter the palace, but he was surrounded by a group of scoundrels, dismantled the sedan chair, set it on fire, and beat Cheng Engong!" ”
"Okay, good," the emperor originally endured it, but he didn't expect that there would be such a change, and the emperor's eyebrows were upside down, "Okay!" Wake up, call all the ministers in! (To be continued.) )
