In the north, especially in Shandong, Beizhili, and Jingshi, there is a very famous saying about the eighth day of the lunar month, called 'Laba, Laba is frozen and killed to call flowers', which means that the eighth day of the lunar month is quite cold, and it is precisely because of the cold that Laba porridge is drunk to resist the cold. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

It happened to be Laba today, and the nobles who were supposed to be drinking Laba porridge with their wives and children at home collectively ran to the noon gate and knelt on the cold bluestone bricks.

Although Emperor Wanli had already been prepared for this situation, but at this time, he was also very irritable in his heart, if Tian Yi and Chen Ju, the two minions, could not persuade these nobles to leave, he, the emperor, would have to come forward in person.

Just when Emperor Wanli was entangled in going out of the palace to meet people in person, Tian Yi, Chen Ju and a group of nobles met outside.

As soon as the nobles saw these two people coming out of the small door, it was really like the good man who called Hanako to see the soup kitchen, and all of them surrounded him at once, and before the two could speak, the families of the nobles who died here began to cry.

Tian Yi and Chen Ju are depressed, you don't stop our family from crying, but do you let our family cry after you finish speaking?

Hurriedly looked at the leaders Zhang Yuande and Xu Wenbi for help, these two people also understand and know how to make trouble, but they can't force the emperor to be anxious, otherwise they really don't know what year and month the title on their heads will fall.

Zhang Yuande has a relatively high prestige among the nobles, and while stretching out his hand and pressing down to signal don't make a fuss, he shouted: "Okay, okay, don't cry first, don't make a fuss, the two fathers-in-law have come out, there must be the emperor's will to be transmitted, let's listen to what the emperor says first, I believe the emperor will not let us suffer!" You still don't believe in the emperor's situation! ”

Zhang Yuande is also a good person, as the leader of the nobles, and as a bridge between the emperor and the nobles, he is destined not to be biased towards one end, but he also knows very well in his heart that it is impossible for you not to be biased towards one end, so over the years, he has been biased towards the emperor in front of the emperor, and biased towards the nobles in front of the nobles.

Now he doesn't want to mix this matter, but he can't do it without mixing, as the leader of the nobles, he must be reconciled, and after several ponders, he has the words just now.

These words seem to be partial to one side, but in fact both sides are not biased, for example, these words are heard in the ears of Xungui, which means like this: 'Don't make trouble first, first listen to what benefits the emperor gives us, if this benefit is enough, let's go back to each house to find our own mother, if the benefits given by the emperor are not enough, let's make trouble again!' ’。

On the contrary, these words should be heard in the ears of the emperor, which means, Your Majesty, I stabilized the people for you, you quickly promised some benefits, and if they make trouble again, do you have something to say? Lao Chen also has a reason to speak for you, right? I'm still looking for you, old man!

Xu Wenbi is not as good as Zhang Yuande in this regard, the key to Zhang Yuande's words is the last sentence: 'You still don't believe in the emperor!' After he finished saying this, it was better for others not to answer, because it was not easy to answer.

Because as soon as you answer, the meaning of these words is easy to deviate, either to favor the emperor or to the noble.

Xu Wenbi didn't pay attention, so he answered: "Yes, everyone must believe in the emperor, I believe that the emperor will give everyone an explanation!" ”

The meaning of Xu Wenbi's words is obvious, and he is completely biased towards the emperor's side.

So as soon as the words fell, the nobles made a fuss, and someone shouted in the crowd: "It's not that we don't believe in the emperor, he can't solve this matter, Liu Zheng is now strong and strong, and the imperial army is fighting in North Korea again, let's find Liu Zheng to take revenge, how can the emperor give us justice?" ”

When this person's voice fell, someone immediately agreed: "Yes, yes, now that Liu Zheng is strong and strong, as many people as he goes, when do we have to wait until we want to take revenge?" ”

"That's it, that's it, we want to take revenge, we want to call Li Rusong back to beat Liu Zheng, can the emperor agree?"

"Don't talk nonsense, can Li Rusong beat Liu Zheng, can Li Rusong's soldiers beat Liu Zheng's soldiers?"

"That's it, damn it, we can't avenge it!"

"But it's not, alas, if you don't say it, it's not that we don't believe the emperor, it's that he can't handle this matter! When our Da Ming Xun arrives at our time, how many are left? Eight died at once, this is to cut off the roots of our nobles, this can't kill Liu Zheng, what will Your Majesty use to appease those who have died? ”

At this time, the people who opened their mouths were still some people who were not dead, and the nobles of those who died had not yet spoken, and things were so tricky, if the nobles of those who died opened their mouths again, what would it be?

Xu Wenbi was also furious in his heart, don't look at what he said before was biased towards the emperor's side, but if he had to choose to stand on the side, he would choose to stand on the side of Xungui, why is this so? This is because the status of the old Xu family is too high.

After all, their ancestors are Xu Da, although they are the one who came out of the family, although they failed to inherit Xu Da's title, but after all, they are not surnamed Xu, after all, they are also Xu Da's descendants.

As long as Xu Wenbi does not rebel openly, even if Xu Wenbi breaks with the emperor, the emperor will not dare to erase their family's title, and sooner or later he will have to give the title to his son.

Another reason for choosing Xungui's side is that Xu Wenbi thinks that if you have a falling out with the emperor, the emperor will at most buckle your knighthood hat and not give it to you, and if you have a falling out with the entire Xungui group, then you will be isolated, and the consequence of being isolated is that people will not take you with anything, and if you don't take you, you will have no money in this family, and then you will have to be ready to eat your old book for a lifetime.

Now Xu Wenbi has a kind of time when he has to choose a side, and after a little hesitation, he shouted again: "Okay, okay, let's not make a fuss first, listen to me, I am here to make a statement for everyone, if His Majesty's explanation to everyone cannot satisfy everyone, then I will fight for this Dingguo Gong, and I will also ask for an explanation for everyone!" ”

Such clear-cut and sonorous words won the favor of the nobles at once, and even those nobles who wanted to take the opportunity to make trouble and the dead in their families temporarily suppressed the thoughts of making trouble.

All the nobles cheered at once, shouting for the righteousness of the country and the benevolence of the country.

Xu Wenbi suddenly felt that there was light on his face, he did have light, but Zhang Yuande, Tian Yi and Chen Ju who were present had dark faces.

Tian Yi and Chen Ju thought in their hearts, you said you, aren't you sincere in adding to the chaos? It's not big enough, what's wrong? You sincerely want to block the emperor!

Although Xu Wenbi also thought the same, but he thought more deeply than Tian Yi and Chen Ju, he still thought in his heart, you do this, in case the emperor is angry, and the emperor drags this matter down by getting sick, does Zhang Yuande still want to go out? Those anxious nobles didn't tear the old man alive? The old man's previous words were explained by your previous sentence and said that the emperor will definitely give everyone an explanation, but the emperor will not give an explanation, what should the old man do? Hiding from people all your life?

Although I Zhang Yuande is also a national prince, although my ancestor Zhang Yu is the third hero of Jingnan, but no matter how awesome you are, you don't have your ancestor Xu Da, and there is no one in the Ming Dynasty who can catch up with your old Xu family, your old Xu family is your own family in the eyes of the emperors of the Ming Dynasty, but no matter how awesome our old Zhang family is, they are all outsiders in the eyes of the emperors of the Ming Dynasty.

Without the support of the emperor, my family will have to decay, and without the support of the emperor, to put it mildly, it will not decay until the fall of the Ming Dynasty.

The face is black and the face is black, and the heart is angry, but the matter has to be solved, right?

Zhang Yuande stretched out his hand and pressed down and said: "Okay, okay, let's be quiet first, be quiet, it's a cold day, everyone is freezing here and panicking, and now this Father-in-law Tian and Father-in-law Chen have come out, which shows that the emperor attaches great importance to all of us, let's listen to what the emperor has to say to us!" ”

When everyone heard this, they also felt that it was such a reason, and they all quieted down, waiting for Tian Yi and Chen Ju to pass on the emperor's words.

Tian Yi and Chen Ju glanced at Zhang Yuande gratefully, and the two looked at each other again, and then Tian Yi stood up and passed on the words of Emperor Wanli.

"All the princes are the cornerstone of our Ming Dynasty, they are all the pillars of our Ming Dynasty, if such a big thing happens, no one can lose the lord if the emperor loses, right?"

"Okay, our family is going to pass on the emperor's message!"

"Wait for the order!"

"Princes ......"

Tian Yi said a lot, Wanli wants to say to the nobles, to sum up, you are all the most trusted people of me, and it will always be you who can stand with me at the critical moment, and if something like this happens, I am also very heartbroken as the emperor, you can rest assured, I will definitely give you an explanation for this matter, and I will definitely not lose you. In the winter, you don't want to freeze there, if you freeze out, I will also feel distressed, okay, let's go home.

Wanli said a lot of things, if the nobles are really dispersed, after all, the emperor has expressed his attitude, and he will definitely give them an explanation, but it won't work at this time, usually the nobles have something to do, all they lose are money, this time the losses are all people, and even the head of the family is dead, just by the word 'confession' can never let these people retreat, this time they have made up their minds to pay attention, they will never move their nests if they don't see real things, even if they really want to freeze here overnight tonight.

Anyway, it's going to make a joke, it's not their honorable who is embarrassed, it's only him Wanli who is embarrassed, if someone really freezes to death here, then it's applauded, and then it's going to be a big fuss, and then it's not a matter of how fast or slow the lord is.

Tian Yi thought that after passing the emperor's words, these people would retreat, but he found that after his words were transmitted, not only did none of these people move, but they all stared at him with their eyes, as if they were going to tear him apart Tian Yisheng.

The sweat on Tian Yi's forehead came out all of a sudden, it's broken, something fucking is going to happen!
