Chapter 250: Myths in Prison, Imperial Gifts

Although in the Ming Dynasty, civil officials and ministers were quite proud to have received the imperial staff and entered the imperial prison, Xu Xun never claimed to be a loyal minister, so this trip suddenly and inexplicably entered the prison, which was really an experience of flying down 3,000 feet for him. Even more inexplicable than him was Zhang Yong, as soon as the person who beat Fusi from Beizhen appeared, he thought it was a joke, and now sitting in the prison, he was standing in front of the wooden fence and pacing back and forth irritably, and finally suddenly turned his head to look at Xu Xun.

"I said Brother Xu, who do you say is manipulating us? Although what we did was unreasonable, there were many things that the emperor approved of in the six ministries that did not obey the edict, but there was only one in a hundred who openly made such a big fuss. The emperor is Renjun, but Renjun can't allow them to pour dirty water on people for no reason like this! ”

"Father-in-law Zhang, it's useless to talk about this now, you better sit down." Xu Xun saw that Zhang Yong was stunned for a moment, so he turned around and sat down opposite, and then he said, "Since you said it before, then I want to ask, if there was such a thing in the past, what would the result generally be?" ”

"Of course, ministers are more important than officials, and officials are more important than foreign officials, and middle officials are ...... Hey, it's not me boasting, it's Li Guang, who was insatiable at the beginning, and he was not thrown down by the court officials, but he committed suicide by doing things by himself. It's like Liu Xiong, a lieutenant in the palace, who is over Yixiong, and Xu Huai, the magistrate of the county, has to pretend to be a decent gentleman, and he doesn't give any supplies that should be there, Liu Xiong was annoyed, and left Guan Wen and went straight to see the Nanjing garrison Fu Gonggong, but as soon as Fu Gonggong played, Xu Huai transferred the nine sides and wanted to return to the dynasty in this life. The master of ceremonies, Gonggong Xiao, counted last year, and participated in the shouting and killing of people several times, but he was still not stable? ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Yong suddenly remembered that Xu Xun was not a eunuch, and hurriedly said: "As for you, Brother Xu, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is obedient to you, and the emperor also trusts you a lot, where is there any reason to blame you for this trivial matter!" ”

If you don't blame it, you're already in prison, if you blame it, wouldn't it be a demotion to an official, exile, beheading, and so on?

Xu Xun flashed such a thought in his heart, and immediately looked at Zhang Yongdao with a moved heart: "Since Gonggong Zhang is not worried about his situation, then this impatience just now is ......"

"I'm afraid that the emperor is sick now, and he suddenly comes to this experience, will something happen in the palace." Zhang Yong saw that Xu Xun's face changed greatly, and hurriedly lowered his voice and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that he was persuaded by you before, but His Royal Highness's temper has always been the most stubborn. If that's the case, we can't even think of a way in this prison, and then it will really be called heaven and earth! ”

Xu Xun was about to answer, but his eyes suddenly caught a glimpse of several figures coming in outside, so he changed his tone and smiled: "That's not necessarily!" ”

Zhang Yong was stunned when he heard this, turned his head and saw that he recognized the person who hit the head, and he suddenly realized. I have heard that Xu Xun has a relationship with Jinyiwei, and it seems that it can come in handy at this critical time! Sure enough, in his expectant gaze, Li Yifeng, who was at the head, waved his hand, and the first few Jinyi guard captains immediately stepped back, while Li Yifeng stepped forward with a smile.

"Lord Shizi, Gonggong Zhang, the holy order is difficult to disobey, this time I have to let you be wronged in the edict. The adults have said, "The food and drink for you will not be shortened even if you open your mouth." It's just that in the past two or three days, the emperor has been exempted from the court one after another, and the rumors outside are very bad, especially a few East Palace speakers have made the biggest noise, saying that they can't allow Annihilation to be on the side of the prince, and they will expel you from Beijing if it is not good. Even Wang Shouren, who took care of his father at home, also suffered from the pond fish, and someone impeached him for being in the company of Annihilation, and the two of you secretly mixed gunpowder, and he would definitely not be unaware. ”

The loudest noise was made by the speakers of the East Palace, not those who were the officials of the Daoist Language, Xu Xun was a little surprised at first, but then he figured it out. In the three months that the 500 avant-garde of the government army were in Xiyuan, Wang Shouren of course not only taught the prince archery, but also talked about the geography and foreign customs of mountains and rivers. And Emperor Hongzhi praised him and Wang Shouren generously, of course, not only for military training, but also because Zhu Houzhao drew inferences from other ways to bypass, which was very different from the situation of Pingshuo who regarded reading as a daunting path.

But after all, this is robbing the jobs of those lecturers in the East Palace, and I don't think those people will not be unaware!

"Master Li, thank you!"

Seeing Xu Xun standing up and making a gesture to himself, Li Yifeng smiled and said, "What is there to thank for this, it's rare to have the opportunity to repay you a favor, my lord and I are relieved." The adult has been in charge of the North Town Fusi for so many years, and he has always only given favors to others, and he has never owed anyone. If you have anything to do, you will tell your guards, and they will not dare to neglect it in the slightest. It's just that there are a lot of people who know the relationship between you and our Beizhen Fusi, and if you want someone to instigate this post, you will definitely not let you pass this level lightly and skillfully, and most of them will add the Dali Temple of the Criminal Department. After all, with the addition of our brocade guards, that is the Three Law Divisions. ”

Zhang Yong saw Li Yifeng and Xu Xun talking informally, and knew that this Qianhu in charge of the Beizhen Fu Division was indeed a close friend of Xu Xun, so he hurriedly interjected and said, "Li Qianhu, can you try to send a letter to His Royal Highness the Prince?" If the palace is forbidden and difficult to enter, you can go to Lingji Hutong to send a letter to the other side. Just say that everything is fine with us, please don't think of us and others, and don't fight with the emperor. ”

Li Yifeng originally thought that Zhang Yong was going to send a letter to ask the prince for help, but he laughed when he heard the end: "This matter is simple, Father-in-law Zhang just rest assured." You know the temper of His Royal Highness the Prince, I don't dare to pack a ticket if it can be done, and I will do my best. ”

"No matter what, please Li Qianhu!"

"Then you ...... the prince"

"Can Li Qianhu go to my house? At the beginning, Lord Nanjian Jiuzhang gave me a lot of books, but I haven't had time to read much, but now that I have time to spare, please make it convenient for me to watch and meditate. ”

"Okay, it's easy!"

Zhu Houzhao went to Wenhua Hall in the morning to listen to the lectures, came back in the afternoon and served in front of the emperor in the evening, clumsily and personally fed the medicine, not to mention, and even changed his way to make his father happy, without the slightest posture of stubbornly admitting death. Empress Zhang was happy in her eyes, and when her son was not there in the morning, she had to nag and blame Emperor Hongzhi, saying that she should not be so strict with Zhu Houzhao before, and Emperor Hongzhi would not fight with his wife, but just laughed.

This time he suddenly fell ill, which was a little bit of a little wind and cold that was not in the way, but Liu Wentai said that he stayed in front of the emperor, and cautiously said that he might as well use this to add some burden to the prince, and he was immediately tempted, and then he deliberately angered the Tai Hospital because of Zhu Houzhao's unbelievable "illness" before, and did not let the rest of the people diagnose the pulse, and called Zhu Houzhao back on the grounds of illness, and then issued an order to avoid the court. Sure enough, the courtiers wrote to say hello, and Zhu Houzhao also regretted a little, and the next thing was to really let his son know what the Son of Heaven was.

The people say that it is difficult to be a lonely minister, and as an emperor, a single husband is also impossible!

So, after reading the revelation post, the thunder was furious and fell on Xu Xun and Zhang Yong on the evening, Emperor Hongzhi suddenly had a nosebleed, and the bright red color made the Qianqing Palace up and down startled. However, facing the emperor with red cheeks and obviously not subsided, several people said something painless after kowtowing because the emperor did not give a pulse diagnosis.

At this time, a few imperial doctors went down to consider the prescription, and Emperor Hongzhi reclined on the couch with Sun Hong's support, and his ears were full of the sound of Xiao Jingyu's report on today's excerpts and the previous cabinet's vote. Listening to it, he only felt that the whole person was extremely tired, and he closed his eyes unconsciously.

"Because the emperor was exempted from the court due to illness and the Dragon Boat Festival was exempted from banquets, Yuanfu Liu Ge led his ministers to insert dogwood in various yamen...... The Tartars plundered into the monolithic fort and other places, and the patrol commanded the garrison to command Ma Jing to guard the left staff general Yang Yingzuo and Tang Lu to ask for the guilt...... Taichang Temple, now there are shops from the household of the collar, there is a market is not popular Hongwu Tongbao ......"

"Stay! I remember that I had long been instructed to go down and cast Hongzhi Tongbao, why do you still use Hongwu Tongbao? Tell the household, go and find out what's going on! ”

"Yes, slave and maid!"

Although Xiao Jing wanted to persuade the emperor to recuperate with peace of mind and put aside these things for the time being, but looking at the emperor's abnormally bright red face, he still had to press this advice, and then picked a few irrelevant thoughts. In the end, he was about to lead the others to retreat, but unexpectedly, Wang Yue was suddenly stopped. He couldn't help but look up at the emperor and saw that he didn't leave his intentions, so he withdrew from the hall in disappointment.

Seeing Xiao Jing and the others quietly retreating, Wang Yue only took a few steps forward, but knelt down on the pedal in front of the dragon bed, and asked respectfully, "Does the emperor still have orders?" ”

"You go to Jinyi Wei Prison to see what happened to Xu Xun and Zhang Yong, and then ask them to ask for a crime."

Although he instructed Wang Yue to send people to carefully investigate the matter of revealing the post to see whose handwriting it was, the reaction of the ministers of the DPRK and China should also be taken into account, so even if he made an order, after all, he bypassed the cabinet, and he had to make a gesture first!

When Emperor Hongzhi said this, he instructed Sun Hong, who was standing next to him, to get cold water, and after raising his head and drinking it all, he continued to say to Wang Yue: "This firearm and gunpowder are not good enough to distribute it, and now this revelation is suspicious, if things continue like this, Zhang Yong will be fine, Xu Xun is a foreign minister, but the target of the public is uncomfortable!" After he wrote to him to plead guilty, I could release him as a foreign official, and no one would remember it again in a year or two. ”

"Yes, the emperor has a heart for preservation, and the slave must tell him to know."

"Go ahead."

Emperor Hongzhi waved his hand tiredly, and when Wang Yue went out, he suddenly opened his mouth and called again: "Sun Hong! ”

"The emperor still has orders?"

"Go and get the Four Treasures of the Study."

Although Sun Hong was willing to dissuade him, he could see the emperor's undoubted situation, so he had to go to Zhang Luo in person, and finally moved a small table to set up on the bed. When he rolled up his sleeves and polished the ink, he dizzed the wolf away, dipped it in thick ink and handed it over, and then unfolded a piece of rice paper, and used the paperweight to calm the two ends, and then helped the emperor to sit up straight. However, seeing that the emperor reluctantly lifted the pen and wrote two words, he couldn't help but be very suspicious.

"Se-jeong...... Your Majesty, you are ......"

"You tell him that I remember that he doesn't have a table yet, and these two words are given to him, so that he can go and ponder by himself!"
