Originally, there would be many etiquette procedures to go when the Son of Heaven returned to Beijing, but this time Zhengde returned to Beijing very specially, ordinary etiquette is not used, most of those etiquettes are for celebration, but Zhengde ran out of Beijing secretly. The emperor ran away, not to mention this dynasty, even if he turned over the historical books, he couldn't find a precedent, so what etiquette to use to greet the holy car, the officials of the Ministry of Rites were really worried about this matter for a while.

Sad, there is still a consensus in the court, that is, even if it is rude, it must not be used to celebrate the victory to welcome the holy car!

Everyone knows in their hearts that now the folk have spread the word that Zhengde is how holy it is, and the various legends of inspecting the border passes are also deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Where are the ministers going to be?

Therefore, Xie Hong followed Zhengde's side, and what he saw was such a strange scene, except for worshipping and greeting, there was no other etiquette, no drum music, no eulogy, only silence and all kinds of cold eyes.

The courtiers were led by three old men, dressed in red court clothes and wearing black veils, who should be three scholars. Xie Hong made a brief observation, these three people all looked as usual, and they looked like Yuan Ting, even if they saw their unruly companion next to Liyu, they only frowned slightly, and did not say anything.

Behind the three bachelors, they are also all court officials dressed in the first and second grades, Zeng Jian is among them, and only here is Zeng Jian, Xie Hong can see some kindness, and the others are either as disdainful as scholars, or look at him with cold eyes.

"The emperor has an edict: drive back to the palace."

Is there a etiquette procedure, Zhengde doesn't care very much, he doesn't like these complicated things, and then looking at the courtiers with gloomy faces, Zhengde feels even more bored, so according to the countermeasures discussed with Xie Hong in advance, he ordered to go down and go back to the palace first.

Xie Hong's response is very simple, no matter what the other party's specific plan is, as long as it can disrupt the steps, it is the best response. It's just that things are obviously not so smooth, and a few Han generals have just announced the Zhengde dictation to the public, and something happened.

"Your Majesty, Minister, supervise the death of the Imperial Shi Su and have a book." In the silence, a person flashed out of the queue of hundreds of officials, bowing and saluting, with a respectful attitude, but his voice was so high that even the people watching from a distance could hear it clearly.

Here it comes. Xie Hong's heart tightened, supervising the imperial history is subordinate to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, this Su Shu should be a pioneer, it's just that this person looks like a talent, but this name is a bit strange, Su Shi? How dare you give the name of a great writer?

Zhengde waved his hand and said, "Su Aiqing, you also know that I have just walked a long way and am already very tired, so if I have something, I can't talk about it another day?" ”

Zhengde said that he wanted to go back to the palace, but Su Yu didn't hear it, got up and said loudly: "Ministers: Monarchs, ministers, fathers, sons, ...... This is the principle of heaven, Your Majesty is the respect of all vehicles, is the hope of the world, but does not consult with the ministers, rashly out of Beijing, so that the world is worried, the world is boiling, the ministers ask Your Majesty to issue an edict to punish themselves, in order to thank the people of the world, so that it is the blessing of the country and the luck of the society. ”

This Su Yushi not only has a great name, but also has a big tone, and this remark made Xie Hong stunned. He quoted that allusion, and he could understand it, which was said by Confucius, which roughly means: the monarch should be like the king, the courtier should be like the minister, the father should be like the father, and the son should be like the son.

There is nothing strange for a literati to say such words as natural reasoning and common words, but when it comes to the back, his tone changed, and he actually let Zhengde issue a self-guilty edict, which is too good, right? Anyway, Zhengde is the emperor, you have a seven-grade imperial history, and if you jump out, let the emperor apologize to the people of the world, this is okay? Isn't the feudal dynasty [***], the majesty of the emperor not to be offended?

Xie Hong looked around blankly, but found that he seemed to be the only one who had such thoughts, and the civil and military officials on the opposite side were all unmoved and accustomed to it. Not only that, but even Zhengde, the party, was not angry about this, but patiently explained:

"Su Aiqing, I understand what you mean, but the Tartars have been on the border many times and ravaged the border passes, and the people there are also my people, so I really can't bear it, so I have to go there in person, in order to work together to retreat from the enemy and calm the people."

Zhengde said justifiably, these truths were discussed by Xie Hong and him in advance, and they were consistent with the remarks spread in the capital in the early stage.

"The minister's news: The son of a daughter does not sit in the hall, and the wood that hugs him is not born in the hill of Buqi." Su Yushi was unmoved, and quoted an allusion, "The Tartars are just a small trouble on the border, even if it is the suffering of His Majesty's heart, but send a general to retreat the border army, why do you need to drive in person?" It is necessary to know that Your Majesty is the body of ten thousand times, if there is a bad pool, what will be the life of the world? ”

Chechake's deduction of military salaries was originally inspired by Xie Hong's incident with Jiang Bin, and he acted somewhat casually. However, after a thorough investigation, the large number of people involved made Zhengde, the emperor Yanjing, shocked, not to mention, when the military salary was issued, the loyal support of the military and the people of Xuanfu also moved Zhengde very much.

"There are many things in the border army that deduct military salaries, and the chronic diseases are difficult to treat, how can a general be able to solve them?"

At this time, when he heard Su Yushi's lightness, Zhengde couldn't help but be annoyed, so he ridiculed each other.

"Your Majesty, the matter of the border town's greed for ink is still undecided." Su Yushi was still neither humble nor arrogant, and said proudly: "The imperial court has its own laws, if there is anything greedy for ink, the patrol will report to the imperial court according to the imperial history, and the criminal department will thoroughly investigate and sentence." Your Majesty is privately interrogating and sentencing in the Xuan Mansion, where will you put our imperial history? Where will the court be placed? Please also think twice, Your Majesty. ”

"Hmph, patrol the imperial history?" Zhengde said coldly: "Xuanfu Patrol is called Shen Fei, right?" The Xuanfu embezzlement case was the most silver that this person embezzled, and then it failed, and it made people want to set fire to me in the palace, Su Aiqing, do you want me to count on such a person to maintain the law and order of the court? ”

Xie Hong's thorough investigation of the embezzlement of military salaries was after Jiang Bin killed people, but in the rumors he made, he used the routine in the TV series of later generations, that is, the emperor investigated and secretly visited, and then was discovered by the corrupt officials, so he took risks and tried to rebel.

Zhengde also liked this story very much, and finally unified this statement, anyway, his whereabouts after leaving Juyong Pass, only these people around him know, and it will definitely not be leaked.

On the night of the Lantern Festival, there were many witnesses to the arson of the palace, and Shen Fei, the party in another story, had been verified for his greed for military salaries, and there were all human and material evidence; Second, this person has already hung up, and there is no evidence of his death, and no one can argue the true surname of this story.

"Your Majesty, what is the matter of Shen Xun's greed for ink, the court has not yet made a public opinion. However, it is a fact that Lord Shen was unyielding in the face of the Tartars' silver might, and he died heroically. Su Yushi looked sad and angry, and said impassionedly:

Mencius said: The rich cannot be silver, the poor and the lowly cannot be moved, and the mighty cannot be bent, which is called a great husband. Lord Shen did not give in to the butcher's knife of the Tartars, it can be said that the great husband is also, and the minister thought that such a person would not be restless with poverty, but greedy for wealth and wealth with a conscience. ”

High, really high, Xie Hong couldn't be surprised, he was full of admiration, this Su Yushi's ability to reverse black and white is simply too high, how can those so-called gold medal lawyers in later generations compare!

Let's not talk about that Shen Fei died at the hands of Jiang Bin, just as he really died at the hands of the Tartars as the Xuanfu report said, it was just because he brought too much property and was murdered and robbed, where can he talk about what might not be bent? Besides, even if he is really unyielding, it doesn't mean that he is not greedy for money, maybe he will be killed by the Tartars because he is greedy for money and refuses to escape.

Xie Hong didn't think so, but the hundred officials opposite him all nodded their heads, and even the faces of the three scholars were slightly loosened, obviously agreeing with Su Yushi's statement. Xie Hong clearly saw that an old man beside Zeng Jian had been staring at him with a frosty face, but at this time, he was also smiling.

It's just a hundred officials, after all, there is a saying that officials protect each other, and Xie Hong can understand it, but in the crowd in the distance, there were bursts of admiration, which made Xie Hong understand.

"This Master Su is worthy of being a royal history, he is really righteous and awe-inspiring, and his iron bones are strong."

"That's natural, you don't know, this Su Yushi is a self-proclaimed Moon Scar Layman, the palace test was the list appointed by Emperor Xiaozong, and he was born in Hanlin, and sooner or later he will enter the cabinet, which is naturally extraordinary."

"What do you know? Which of these adults is not from a Jinshi background? The most powerful thing about Su Yushi is that he is the protégé of Lord Zhang of the Imperial History of the Left Capital, Lord Zhang is the leader of the imperial history of the Imperial Inspectorate, so there is no need to mention the heroic righteousness, not to mention today, even if it is the first emperor, Lord Zhang has also refuted it. Since Su Yushi studied under Master Zhang, how could he be bad. ”

There are those who praise the history of Su Yushi, and there are also people who sympathize with Shen Xun.

"Tartar has created evil, it's a pity that Lord Shen has this backbone, what Su Yushi said is really right, how can a person who can sacrifice his life for righteousness be greedy for ink?"

Someone said this according to Su Yushi's words, and the people next to him also echoed it, nodding yes with a sigh on their faces.

Xie Hong is really speechless, the people of this era are really simple, even if what Su Yushi said is true, then it can't be concluded that a person will not do bad things just because he has a certain quality? Haven't you heard the word hypocrite?

Xie Hong was speechless, and Zhengde was also very aggrieved, but he couldn't think of a rebuttal for a while. Most of his lines were prepared in advance, and Xie Hong and he had no estimate of the current situation, so it was naturally impossible to deal with it in advance.

This is the other, Zhengde's side is dumb, but Yushi's side is surging.

The Imperial History is also the Imperial History, subordinate to the Imperial Procuratorate, and is one of the officials, it doesn't matter if he is questioned alone, but since he is questioned in the position of the Imperial History, everyone can't sit idly by. Not to mention that the matter has not been clarified, even if it is really to be convicted, it can only be self-examined by the Metropolitan Procuratorate, which can convict the inspector of the imperial history.

Otherwise, if everyone can question the imperial history, then why should the imperial history? What is the reputation of the Imperial History? How can the sins of the scholars and doctors be condemned by the martial artists and the villains? Jinyiwei was set up by Emperor Chengzu to picket and plot against the big case, how could he be an interrogator? It's just that the former eunuch was in power, so he used these minions to persecute the scholars, which is a big fallacy.

The ancestors did not correct this mistake, so let's do it; Just today; Correct this mistake as well!
