Chapter Twenty-Four: Sacrificial Wine
Wang Shouren did have such a ridiculous experience, and he had long been reduced to a joke in the officialdom of the capital. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info many officials who have a good relationship with Wang Shouren's father Wang Hua still joke with him about this, laughing and saying that they should hurry up and have a few more sons, otherwise Bo'an will really leave home, and your old Wang family will be cut off from incense.
There was silence in the main hall of the Qianqing Palace, and Emperor Hongzhi even stood up from the dragon chair and looked directly at Yang Tinghe.
After all, Yang Tinghe's statement is too unbelievable, a prisoner with no merit dares to climb the courtyard wall of the prince's mansion, who will believe it?
This story simply doesn't hold water!
Liu Jianrao, who doesn't know the inside story, is old and serious, and his face can't help but change slightly at this time, such a move is completely cocooning himself in his opinion, is this pit not deep enough, and make persistent efforts to bury my Lao Liu is the best?
Yang Tinghe glanced at Li Dongyang without a trace, and found that he nodded slightly, and then made a new decision, and raised his head and said: "Your Majesty, the minister is not a promise, the minister has a witness!" ”
Hongzhi waved his hand impatiently, and immediately there was a waiter Xiao Gonggong beside him who screamed: "Bring a witness!" ”
The Manchu Dynasty Minister was looking forward to it, intending to see what kind of sacredness this human witness was. For a while, there were those who were worried in their hearts, those who didn't think it was a big deal to see the excitement, and even more who were cold-eyed bystanders, all of whom stretched their necks.
In the eyes of hundreds of officials, countless people who have been looking for many days have appeared!
The one who came was Wang Shouren!
Wang Shouren did not show any panic, Shi Shiran walked in, solemnly bowed and bowed.
"Wang Shouren, the prisoner of the country, visited the emperor. The grass people can prove that what Yang Ting and Lord Yang said is true, and there is no fiction! ”
After Wang Shouren said this, the court was in an uproar like a swarm of bees returning to the nest, and the sound of discussion suddenly sounded.
Guozi Priest Liquor stood up and pointed at Wang Shouren and shouted angrily: "Wang Shouren, you have disappointed us too much, how can you be a scholar to climb the wall in order to find red apricots?" ”
After accusing Wang Shouren, the old man said to Emperor Hongzhi again: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this matter must be untrue, and Wang Shouren must be threatened to tell such a big lie and make such perjury, Emperor." ”
Guozijian is completely dissatisfied with the sacrificial wine, it is related to the honor of Guozijian and the face of scholars in the world, and the performance of this old pedant can no longer be described as crying and grabbing the ground.
"Beggar bones!" The old man was disheartened, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, put down his official hat and was about to leave.
"Sir, slow down!" Emperor Hongzhi was really reluctant to leave this wine full of wealth, although he also didn't like this stubborn old man like a stone: "I let the prince come to confront him, if Wang Shouren was really coerced by Zhu Houzhao to do such a thing, I can't tolerate him, I will immediately issue an order to let Wang Shizi come to Beijing to study!" ”
As soon as Emperor Hongzhi finished speaking, His Royal Highness immediately shouted: "Your Majesty, you can't!" This old Taoist learned to go away, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is indeed a piece of jade, and it will become a great tool if you carve it with your heart! ”
It is also strange to say that Zhu Houzhao behaves perversely on weekdays, doing whatever he wants, although his intelligence is also shown from time to time, but it is to make the officials and ministers have mixed reviews, those who love think that they are the masters of Zhongxing, and they can be national weapons, but those who hate them believe that if the Ming Dynasty is handed over to Zhu Houzhao's hands, it will inevitably completely destroy the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains laid by the blood and sweat of the ancestors.
All people are righteous and can hardly be said to be selfish.
Hongji coughed twice and said, "Go ahead, Zhu Houzhao called." ”
Zhu Houzhao, who had been locked up in the prison for three days, finally had a chance to breathe fresh air, and the sun was shining outside the prison, but his heart couldn't be relaxed, and even a little heavy.
The signal sent by the old emperor last night was not so good, he was not very old, maybe after the cheap daddy dragon and Guitian, I couldn't control the ministers, but let some ministers who were not used to their style of work abolish the act, and the end would be miserable.
Zhu Houzhao has read a lot of history books, and it is not uncommon for those who are either strong ministers and weak lords, troubled in the harem after disasters, and even powerful vassal kings usurped the throne under the slogan of appeasement.
For Da Ming, he is an outsider after all.
The mechanism entered the main hall lightly, and Zhu Houzhao immediately felt a thorn-like gaze hit him in the air. Zhu Hou took care of the past, and he recognized this person as the old scholar of Guozijian.
The old man was hating himself with this look that seemed to be eating people, Zhu Houzhao thought about it carefully, but he had never offended this old man, Jimei had urinated at the door of his house, and he had not slept with his granddaughter and did not give money, why was he so bitter and hateful?
It's not good. Zhang Shou sighed slightly, he was most afraid of the kind of person who was stubborn and didn't even want his life, and this old man obviously looked like that.
Sure enough, before Zhu Houzhao could react, the old man of Guozi Priest Wine rushed up with an arrow step, and looked at him up and down with Zhu Houzhao's sleeves.
"Your Majesty, the old minister knows some physiognomy, with all due respect, in terms of the face of His Royal Highness the Prince, the prince is not a long-lived person!"
As soon as the sacrificial wine said this, it was tantamount to a thunderclap on the ground, and it was unbelievable and audacious to slander the prince's short life!
Zhu Houzhao was stunned, is this relying on the cheap daddy's good temper to bully me to death, who is cursing for a short life? If you are an official for thousands of miles, I don't think it's unusual for the whole family to die.
It's sunny early in the morning, and the mood should be so bright, but what should I do if I encounter a troll?
Zhu Hou glanced at Emperor Hongzhi and found that Emperor Hongzhi had not yet relieved himself. At that moment, the tiger roared and scolded angrily: "Old thing, can you speak? On weekdays, I respect you as an elder to give three points, but today you are so unfatherly, then don't blame me for ignoring the courtesy of the monarch and ministers! ”
At that moment, he stepped forward with lightning speed, and slapped the old sacrificial wine in the face with a slap, and then scattered his old teeth, and the yellowed teeth fell all over the house.
The crisp slap resounded in the palace hall of Qianqing, and the red and purple ministers who woke up saw the next extremely murderous scene, a prince who was not more than ten years old jumped up and grabbed an old man in a sixty-year-old crimson official robe.
Zhu Houzhao was really angry this time, he only lived to be in his twenties in the previous life, and in this life, he was occupied by himself before he was ten years old, and he hated others the most to curse his short life. So how can this move be stopped, the resentment against the inexplicable old way in the previous life broke out at this moment: "Do you have any sons, do you have any descendants, so unkept, are you planning to cut off your children and grandchildren!" ”
Smack.
"My father is just such a son as me, and you still can't bear to curse me not to die, is this also the way to be loyal to the king!"
Bang bang bang.
"I don't think I, Zhu Houzhao, have any sin against you, although I act indulgently on weekdays, there is nothing wrong with it, I am the prince of Daming, the only heir
, If you are not arrogant, how can you deal with the strong enemies around me in the future? ”
Zhu Houzhao was also very angry, no matter whether the reason was suitable or not, he jumped out vigorously, until the old priest was full of wine and no old teeth left before he could be helped.
After beating people, Zhu Houzhao knelt down in front of Emperor Hongzhi and cried: "The son has made a big mistake, please ask my father to lock up the son." But the son's morale is not enough, my royal family has now withered to this point, and there are still such people who have no king and no father to maliciously slander, which is really chilling.
Father, you are diligent in managing the government every day, and a person who is less than forty years old is already graying sideburns, what kind of mind does this person have to say such vicious words? Joining the father and the emperor will give the son a chance, even if the son does not sit on the throne of the prince, he will still have to knock out the teeth of this old thing! ”
Emperor Hongzhi was also sad in his heart at this time, he was diligent and diligent all his life, governed the world with benevolence and filial piety, ruled by Qing Ming officials, and enabled talents.
If the son does not teach, the fault of the father, the fault of the father! I was lonely when I was young, and I was worried all day long, and I was not even as good as a son of the people, so can you be happy if my son lived like I did when I was a child? I want to let my children live happily, do whatever they want with their activities, and if there is any fault, I will bear it!
At this time, it is the heart of father and son.
But Zhu Houzhao still committed a taboo, as the saying goes, you don't hit people in the face, let alone hit adults? You must know that most of the internal officials who are slaves are punished in the inner court are punished with rods, and there are rarely slap punishments, let alone serious officials in the outer court.
This wind will not last! This is the unanimous voice of all civil officials, including Liu Jian and Li Dongyang. Principles are principles, right and wrong are right and wrong, but in the face of right and wrong and principles, the style of the literati will never be wrong, I am afraid that Zhu Houzhao's slap will break up the spirit of the literati, so this style can not be long!
Although the beating of the old sacrificial wine was an excessive verbal beating, it made the courtiers of the palace feel a sense of sadness no matter how they stood in line.
Liu Jian was the first to come out of the ranks, and said in a solemn voice: "Your Highness's move is too much!" If it is a crime to sacrifice wine, it should also be ordered by His Majesty in court, and he should be punished with a rod outside the court in brocade clothes; Or it is handed over to the Dali Temple of the Criminal Department to discuss whether the crime is beaten or killed, and the prince himself will punish him. ”
Emperor Hongzhi was indifferent, and this emperor, who had been lenient all his life, was still immersed in the sadness in his heart and could not extricate himself. The immortals of Qin Tianjian had a proverb a long time ago, it is rare to have a prince in his life, but now there is only such a lone seedling, this group of courtiers who seem to be docile on weekdays do not take care of me carefully, but Haihu said such a heart-wrenching word.
The old emperor's heart was even colder than the hearts of dozens of ministers under the stairs at this time.
