Chapter 252: Summoning the Cabinet Ministers, the Son of Heaven is painstaking
Wenyuan Pavilion in the southeast of Miyagi, the three ordinary and harmonious pavilion elders were in their own straight rooms at this time, and there was no sound in the four corners, but the busy clerical officials couldn't forget the dispute just now.
Regarding this sudden revelation, the three of them have their own opinions, Liu Jian feels that he is a Kedao official who is not used to the Xu family's nouveau riche, and it should be time to kill the limelight of letting the prince act recklessly; Xie Qian felt that the sin and Xu Xun alone were enough, but it was a disaster for the pond fish to bring Wang Shouren, and those officials in the East Palace were narrow-minded; And Li Dongyang is holding his own opinion, thinking that this matter needs to be resolved quickly, not to make a fuss during the emperor's illness, and there is a reason to close the case to temporarily expose the matter, you must know that Emperor Hongzhi's central decree is much less than that of Emperor Chenghua back then.
As a result, the first assistant Liu Jian lost his temper rarely, and Li Dongyang knew that the left and right were in the source, so the first assistant and the second assistant actually had an awkward quarrel, and no one paid attention to anyone at this time. At this moment of silence, a clerical clerk crept in and carefully placed a letter on Liu Jian's desk.
"Motosuke, this is just transferred."
Liu Jian glanced at the clerk and knew that most of the things that came from his mouth were transferred by the celebrant supervisor, so he took it and opened it to take a look, and his eyes immediately froze. After a while, he stood up, and he was going to order someone to invite Li Dongyang according to his habit, but thinking about the dispute just now, he took his things and went straight out to Xie Qian. As soon as he arrived at the ground and saw Xie Qian getting up to salute, he shook his head angrily and put the music in front of Xie Qian.
"Look at this!"
Please dismiss the eunuch Xiao Jing, the eunuch of the celebrant Bingpen, the eunuch Li Rong, Chen Kuan, Wang Yue...... Only then did he see the first few words, Xie Qian was immediately taken aback, and he didn't have time to see Liu Jian's expression, so he unfolded it and looked at it carefully. After chewing and understanding the meaning, he said with a solemn face, "What do you think of Motosuke?" β
"If the first list of names is removed, who will preside over it! These officials put it simply, the internal officials of the Gunpowder Bureau and the Ordnance Bureau were derelict in their duties, and the celebrant supervisors could not escape the blame, and they must be held responsible. But they don't want to think about it, the emperor can see us a few times a year, but these eunuchs are all said to be in front of the emperor, where can they say that they will be replaced! β
"It's said that it's a replacement, but Xiang Zhuang Wujian is determined to be Pei Gong, there should be only Xiao Jing, right? It seems that people are not only unaccustomed to Xu Xiaozi, but even Xiao Jing is worried about it. Xie Qian narrowed his eyes, but said another sentence, "Yuan Fu thinks that what Jiao Fang was targeted by before was replaced by Xu Xun this time, could it be that there is something discordant between these two people, so they fight with each other?" You must know that the relationship between Jiao Fang and the master of ceremonies is very ambiguous. β
"You reminded the old man, it is indeed possible!"
Liu Jian suddenly remembered this stubble, and immediately thought about it, "Whether it's as you expected or not, let them fight on both sides first!" You and I restrain our protΓ©gΓ©s, don't get involved......"
Before he finished speaking, an eager voice from a scribe came from outside: "Yuan Fu, Xie Ge Lao, the celebrant is here, it's the celebrant Dai's father-in-law!" β
Hearing this, Liu Jian and Xie Qian were stunned at the same time. Fortunately during the Tianshun period, since Chenghua, the emperor rarely summoned the ministers, and even those top celebrant eunuchs rarely came to Wenyuan Pavilion. What is this for today, that Dai Yi, the eunuch of the labor ceremonial eunuch Bingpen, came in person?
The two of them, who had been through the storm for a long time, remembered that the emperor was sick, and at the same time had a bad premonition, and hurriedly walked out after looking at each other. Xie Qianzi was in such a hurry that he even moved the Taishi chair with him, and the harsh voice made him even more upset. When he arrived at the hall in front of him, he saw that Li Dongyang was already waiting there with Dai Yi, and Liu Jian didn't care about the little pretension before, and walked forward quickly.
"Grandpa Dai, ...... you are today"
As soon as he saw Liu Jian Xie move out, Dai Yi couldn't sit still anymore, Huo Ran stood up and hurriedly said: "Shou Kui, Li Ge Lao Xie Ge Lao, the emperor has issued an edict to announce that the three of you will go to Qianqing Palace!" β
See the Qianqing Palace!
Such an unprecedented thing, whether it was the impatient Liu Jian, the stable Li Dongyang, or the free and easy Xie Qian, they were all surprised. Only at this moment, without the slightest hesitation, the three of them immediately agreed, came out first and ordered a few words of those documents, and immediately followed Dai Yi out of Wenyuan Pavilion. Although the distance from Wenyuan Pavilion to Qianqing Palace is not very far, but on a hot day, Xie Qian, the youngest of the three, has already run for six, and when he walked all the way to Qianqing Gate, he was completely sweaty, but fortunately, someone immediately sent a cool towel to serve the three of them to wipe their faces, and it was only after they were cleaned up that Dai Yi introduced Xinuan Pavilion.
Although it was only six or seven days later, when he saw the emperor sitting on the imperial couch, the three elders of the cabinet, who had already made some preparations in their hearts, all sighed in their hearts, and immediately forced themselves to calmly step forward and salute. Although it was a scorching summer, the Xinuan Pavilion had never used ice, and it was even cooler than the ventilation in the Wenyuan Pavilion, but when they saw that the emperor was still hot after taking water to drink, the panic was not to mention.
"I am now thirty-six, and it has been eighteen years since I became the heir, but I didn't expect that this disease is almost unaffordable, so I summoned three gentlemen to entrust me with a big event."
Although it was entrusted to the big event rather than the future, Liu Jian, who was the leader, was still frightened. But looking at Emperor Hongzhi's calm appearance, he only felt that his eyes were sore, and he didn't dare to raise his hand to wipe it, so he could only force himself to calm down and kowtow, and then said: "The emperor is just a dragon body violation, as long as he slowly regulates with medicine, he can naturally be cured, how can he say that he can't afford to be sick?" β
Li Dongyang also said in a deep voice: "What Yuan Fu said is extremely true, the ministers look good on the emperor's complexion, and Wanwang does not think of this small illness, which is the blessing of all the people in the world." β
Xie Qian, who followed closely, was even more simply: "The Holy Lord has his own heavenly blessing, and I hope that the emperor will not make such ominous words!" β
Emperor Hongzhi looked at the three major ministers in front of him, and saw that they were all dewy in his eyes, and tried his best to hold back the panic that was caught off guard, so he laughed and said: "No one has died, although I am the son of heaven, but I can't escape this level." In the past, I was born with nine deaths, but fortunately, the queen mother hid me, and there was a righteous eunuch to help, so that I was able to meet Xianmiao many years later. Later, I was registered as the crown prince and inherited the unification, which is still vivid in my mind today. β
Speaking of this, he looked at the eunuchs who were standing on the side and said, "Serve the pen and ink!" β
Although everyone from the cabinet ministers to the eunuchs wanted to persuade the emperor not to move lightly, in the face of the emperor's unquestionable eyes, Liu Jian and the three couldn't help but be silent. And Dai Yi bowed slightly at Fu'an Li Zhang, and saw that one of the two went to get the paper and the other took the inkstone, so he went to get the red pen and the red ink, and it was already ready in front of the bed. The emperor took the red pen in his hand, and after a little thought, he was about to write, but Xiao Jing, who was kneeling in front of the bed, suddenly said: "The emperor is sick and can't be tired, or the emperor dictates and asks Dai Yi to write on his behalf." β
"What Father-in-law Xiao said is very true, please ask the emperor to let Father-in-law Dai write on his behalf!"
Liu Jian hurriedly agreed, and when he saw that the emperor handed the pen to Dai Yi with a little hesitation, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. However, seeing that Emperor Hongzhi leaned on the thick pillow, from the sorrow of hiding in the cold palace back then, to the caution after being registered as the crown prince, and then not daring to slack off after ascending the throne, he has been talking slowly, as benevolent and tolerant as he was in the court...... Originally, he was just red in his eyes, and he was already in tears unconsciously, and his hands involuntarily supported the ground, and he didn't dare to make a sound. Not only him, but Li Dongyang and Xie Qian around him were also unable to help themselves.
When Dai Yi was densely written on a piece of paper, Emperor Hongzhi said almost, then he nodded and motioned for Liu Jian and the three of them to step forward, but he took Liu Jian's hand and said: "The three gentlemen have been in the cabinet for many years, and they have always worked hard, and I understand this. You have been unallowed many times before, but it is really because the court is inseparable from the three of them. Donggong has always been smart, but he is young, and the three gentlemen of Wanwang teach and assist him diligently, so that he can be a good person. β
Be a good person instead of being a good emperor, where will the three of them not be able to hear it, they were all choked up for a while, and it was difficult to make a sound, after a long time, Liu Jian came to his senses, but said in an astringent voice: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is smart and natural, and now he is gradually diligent in learning, and the ministers dare not do their best?" Emperor Wanwang slowly recuperates, don't worry about this minor illness, you will be well-buried, Antai ......"
After these words, Emperor Hongzhi was still not enough, and actually pulled the three of them to babble and talk for a long time, until all three of them wept and kowtowed and retreated, and he withdrew a few eunuchs, and then he lay down and took a long breath.
With this reason, when Ming said that he would let Zhu Houzhao, the crown prince, supervise the country for a period of time, there should be no problem. That child's filial piety is filial piety, but he has never been tempered, and only when he goes home can he know that ruling the world is not just talking! Empress Zhang's little son is here as usual this time, it seems that he is destined to have only such a son, if he doesn't teach people well now, how can he rest assured in the future?
"Your Majesty, it's time to drink medicine."
"Put it down!"
Hearing this voice outside, Emperor Hongzhi gave a faint order, and when a bowl of medicinal soup was placed on the small table in front of the bed, he glanced at it and didn't pay attention to it. These days, he didn't let any of the imperial doctors check the pulse at all, and only casually glanced at the prescriptions they entered. He naturally knew that this recipe was full of nourishing things, and every time he combined the medicine, the eunuch and the imperial doctor walked together, and he only entered it after tasting it, so he naturally felt at ease to take it every day.
"I think when Renmiao was the prince, he had been in charge of the government in Nanjing for several years, if it weren't for the sudden death of Renmiao, and the untimely death of Xuanmiao, Renxuan's prosperity would have lasted longer...... This time it is to let the prison country take care of it for a month...... Or is it longer? He doesn't have a long surname, so he must put more pressure on him, let him know that it is difficult to govern the country, and let him know that he can't do without those bosses in the court......"
Muttering to himself in an inaudible voice for I don't know how long, Emperor Hongzhi suddenly caught a glimpse of the medicine bowl, reached over and tested the temperature, and found that it was already cold, so he took it and drank it all, and then put it aside.
