Chapter 259: Endure making a false name a floating cloud
It is true that we are born in sorrow and die in peace.
Perhaps all the worries in his heart have been transformed into motivation, so Scholar Xie has a wind at his feet, and when he was nearly sixty years old, when he arrived at the Qianqing Palace, he actually caught up with the young and strong Zhengde.
However, the meaning of the front and rear feet, that is, Scholar Xie was still a step slower, so he didn't get the desired result.
"What? The emperor has already gone out? Xie Qian, who was out of breath, was angry in his heart, and he was puzzled by three points, and if he calculated it himself, the emperor was obviously only one step ahead!
As soon as he left, he had to change his clothes before he could go out, right? Even if you don't consider etiquette, that dragon robe is not suitable for running around, is it? At least...... The dress was too wide for movement, such as jumping around or riding a horse or something...... "Where did you go?" You won't be out of the palace again, will you? When it was said that the unequal treaty was signed, Xie Qian and the others were very happy, but today, he couldn't wait to slap himself a few times, why did he agree to those conditions? What royal movement, what out of the palace to observe the people's feelings? It's all a pit! A big pit in the deep!
"If you go back to the university, the emperor should not go to the west, he should not go out of the palace, probably to go to Xiyuan......" For Xie Qian, the luck in the misfortune is that it is Zhang Yong who guards the door, so the answer he got is more detailed, if Liu Jin and Gu Da are replaced, they are not so easy to speak.
The last time he was shaken, it also had a great impact on Zhang Yong, although Liu Jin's black-like Zhengde did not believe in it, and Zhengde cared about the old feelings, and just punished him for sweeping the stables for a few days, and did not embarrass him much, but his status among the Eight Tigers has plummeted, from a giant who could compete with Liu Jin to a small now.
Liu Jin is also a scheming person, he knows Zhengde's surname, and he won't do anything to Zhang Yong, but he knows that Xie Hong is a person who will be revenged, and his methods are ruthless, and he has no friendship with Zhang Yong, so his black case was also sued to Xie Hong.
Zhang Yong, Xie Hong also had the impression that this person was famous for two famous deeds, one was to conspire with the foreign dynasty and kill Liu Jin together; The second is that he is a rare person among the Eight Tigers who has been able to die well, and the most important thing is that he is the one who has not been liquidated after Zhengde's death, and the evaluation of him in the history books is quite good in the end.
What does this mean? Xie Hong is not a judge, he will not pay attention to any fairness or unfairness, in danger, he is not afraid to speculate on Zhang Yong with the greatest malice, and only judge by the results, Zhang Yong is not only close to the foreign dynasty, and it is even likely to be related to the death of Zhengde.
After all, after Liu Jin's death, Zhang Yong's status among the Eight Tigers was the highest, and as a close minister of the Son of Heaven, he had the ability to cause the tragedy in history; And the records in the history books also represent Wenchen's recognition of him. Xie Hong has every reason to be wary of such a person.
Therefore, although he disagrees with Liu Jin, Xie Hong still attaches great importance to this matter. After all, Zhang Yong had been shaken, and his attitude towards scholars was also very ambiguous, coupled with the information of his previous life, Xie Hong directly divided this person into targets that needed to be guarded against.
Cutting the grass and eradicating the roots is the simplest and most direct way, but since Xie Hong didn't get rid of Liu Jin at the beginning, he now has to take care of Zhengde's feelings, so it is not feasible to kill Zhang Yong.
can't kill, at least it can be prevented, so Zhang Yong withdrew from the core of the Eight Tigers forever, and he could only do some janitorial work. Regarding Xie Hong and Zhengde's plan, let alone participating, even if he wanted to inquire, it was difficult to even look at him with Gu Dayong, who had always been kind, changed, as if he was a thief, he could only accept his fate.
What else could he do? Now, even if you don't consider the holy family, the close ministers around Zhengde are all convinced by Xie Hongxin, you can turn stones into gold, and the means are superb, such a person can't be convinced!
The most important thing is, of course, Zhengde's obedience, since Xie Hong asked Zhengde to alienate unreliable elements, Zhengde also obeyed, and everyone else also regarded this order as a holy decree, Zhang Yong could only sympathize with his partner Gao Feng and cry at night.
However, it is precisely because of this rejection that his desire to get close to foreign dynasties has become more active. Wang Yue is already old, and now he doesn't even have a sharp spirit, and even the emperor is forbidden to enter and leave the palace at will, he doesn't dare to say a word, and now he has attracted the dissatisfaction of the foreign court.
After all, the emperor still misses the old feelings, and when Wang Yue steps down, isn't he, a person who has anything to do with both sides, the best candidate for the celebrant and the commander? At least in that position, the emperor will not be too dissatisfied, and the foreign dynasty must be compatible, isn't this the best result? With such thoughts, Zhang Yong redoubled his welcome to Xie Qian at this time.
"Scholar Xie, now when the Long Live Lord goes to court, the dragon robe on the outside is only covered on his body, and he is wearing a strong suit inside, which means ......" He saw that Xie Qian seemed to be a little puzzled by Zhengde's rapid movements, and he also smiled to relieve the other party's doubts, although he couldn't participate in confidential matters, but this kind of trivial matter can be known as long as he observes carefully.
"This, this...... Alas! "What else can I say? Zhengde's move is obviously to hurry up and avoid himself! Xie Qian couldn't cry or laugh for a while, and he didn't know whether he should be disappointed or proud, after all, he forced the emperor to abandon his robe, if it wasn't for Zhengde's young age, maybe he would have cut his beard...... "In addition, ......" Zhang Yong looked left and right with his eyebrows, and then the thief whispered: "That Xie Hong also entered the palace today, and he was in Xiyuan, saying that he was going to build the residence of the Long Live Lord." In addition, he seems to have brought some new tricks to the Long Live Lord, which is why the Long Live Lord is so excited......"
"What?" Xie Qian was taken aback, and then said hatefully: "Sure enough, it's this annihilator!" The old man knew that the emperor was originally good, but he was bewitched by his use of these strange silver skills, and he did not want to make progress and acted perversely...... No, the old man has to advise! ”
He turned his head and left, but after taking two steps, he remembered something, turned around again, and said softly: "Father-in-law Zhang, you are very good, if the close ministers around the emperor are all the same as the father-in-law, always admonishing, how can the emperor be as foolish as today?" That annihilator will not have a chance to take advantage of it. As long as Gonggong Zhang reads more scriptures and righteousness and supports the right path, he said that there will be a day when he will not be famous in history. ”
Xie Qian's earnest words moved Zhang Yong very much. What is the history of the name? But anyone who has read the books of the sages regards this as the highest ideal! What's more, it was Scholar Xie who spoke, one of the top three people in the Ming Dynasty, and when he heard the last sentence, Zhang Yong was already in tears.
"Learn ......" choked up, Zhang Yong was still looking at his face in vain, seeing Xie Qian's encouragement with a smile and nodding, he finished saying his claim, "Students must remember Xie Ge Lao's teachings." ”
"When you specialize in the scriptures, if you don't understand anything, you can ask the old man, if you can't do it, you can also let people pass on the letter to the old man, don't be bored alone, remember, remember." Xie Qian told again.
On the way to Xiyuan, Xie Qian sighed in his heart: The old man also endured making his false name a floating cloud, for the sake of the Ming Dynasty's Jiangshan Sheji! I hope that I can get rid of the annihilation as soon as possible, and it will not be in vain for the old man to bear the burden of humiliation today.
If in the past, as a scholar of Xie University, how could a eunuch call himself a student in person? Is it also worthy of eunuchs? But this time is different from the past, Xie Hong is fierce, Wang Yue is too old, obviously he is powerless, Scholar Xie weighed it, and had to choose the lesser of two evils, thinking that it would be good to keep an undercover agent by the emperor's side.
Moreover, although Zhang Yong is a eunuch, he still understands some righteousness, Xie Qian comforted himself, when he turned around, he also heard the sound of Zhang Yong kneeling and kowtowing, and the whimper was even more long, and his previous reputation was good, and there was no evil deeds, and it was not too much to tarnish his own name.
The West Garden is actually a general name, which includes all the gardens including Daming Lake, the horse farm and the former zoo, and the total area accounts for more than half of the entire Forbidden City.
In history, Zhengde's leopard house was built here, and when Xie Hong mentioned the strategy of the court before, Zhengde's first thought was also this place, and his picture was that the place here was big and the scenery was good.
Xie Qian's good mood didn't last long, as soon as he left Xihua Gate, he heard a commotion not far away, and after listening carefully, he was immediately furious.
"It's worthy of being a long live master, and his skills are too athletic." The person who slapped the sycophant had the loudest voice, and Xie Qian knew that it was Liu Jin's scourge as soon as he heard it. Unlike Zhang Yong, Liu Jin is second only to Xie Hong on Wenchen's must-kill list.
is not only the biggest problem of his power in the past, but the most important thing is that if it weren't for the solicitation order that Liu Jin made at the time, maybe he wouldn't have led to the demon Xie Hong, which is the biggest sin. Of course, Liu Jin himself regrets it, but who will pay attention to him? You know, eunuchs don't ******.
"Long live Lord, you slow down, don't be too fast, be careful of falling." Gu Fatzi's voice was still very honest, but Xie Qian was even more angry after hearing it, a bad person like Liu Jin is not terrible, the most terrifying thing is this kind of seemingly loyal, but in fact deceitful. If it weren't for the instigation of this fat man, how could the emperor go to Xuanfu? How could he bring back Xie Hong's demon?
And...... The emperor came to ride a horse again, it was really too much, he had obviously advised him so many times, but the emperor still didn't listen, in fact, he didn't take himself as a scholar seriously!
Xie Qian followed the movement and walked over quickly, although he was furious, he also noticed something unusual. It is said that Zhengde galloped on the horse, and there should be some sound of horses' hooves, but after he approached, he didn't hear the sound of horses' hooves at all, but heard a sharp "snort" sound.
The sound seemed to be the sound of something crushing the ground, and there would be some changes from time to time, Xie Qian only felt confused, and he couldn't figure it out at all.
Puzzled in his heart, the pace under his feet did not slow down, no matter what this strange sound was, judging from the two eunuch shouts, the emperor must be riding a horse, probably to wrap the horse's hooves in secret, right?
