Chapter 6: The Emperor's Mind
Looking at Emperor Chongzhen's face, Wang Chengen hurriedly lowered his head, it was really Emperor Chongzhen's gaze that was too sharp: "Suitable, six hundred miles is just right!" The slave will go to the cabinet immediately to deliver the decree! After saying that, he left quickly again. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Emperor Chongzhen breathed a sigh of relief, if he is not happy, he can't do it, many things in this world are just rushing for time.
"Your Majesty, it's time for lunch!" Empress Zhou walked in from the outside, followed by her palace maids, each of whom held a dinner plate with the lunch prepared by Empress Zhou for Emperor Chongzhen.
For her man, Queen Zhou knows her very well, and once she gets busy, she will forget the time.
Today is really the case again, Wang Chengen was so busy by Emperor Chongzhen that his feet did not touch the ground, and no one reminded Emperor Chongzhen about eating. Empress Zhou knew that Emperor Chongzhen himself would definitely not be able to think of eating.
Asked about the fragrance of this meal, Emperor Chongzhen smiled bitterly, he was really hungry, has the time passed in the morning?
No wonder the original Emperor Chongzhen was well-dressed and only slept for two hours a day, so there were too many things to do, and there were so many things to do. A group of ministers couldn't say anything, and they had to spend time fighting wits and courage with them, and they were physically tired and mentally tired.
Emperor Chongzhen looked at Empress Zhou and smiled slightly: "The Empress has a heart, I am very hungry!" ”
After setting the meal, Empress Zhou accompanied Emperor Chongzhen to eat, and the atmosphere was very harmonious. Looking at Empress Zhou's smiling face, Emperor Chongzhen's depression decreased slightly, and his mood improved a lot.
Soon Wang Chengen, who had passed the decree, came back, and was relieved to see Empress Zhou and Emperor Chongzhen eating.
When I ran to the cabinet, I found that the ministers there had already begun to eat, and then Wang Chengen realized the time. I hurried back in a hurry, ready to serve Emperor Chongzhen to eat, and was relieved to see Emperor Chongzhen eat.
Seeing Wang Chengen coming in panting, Emperor Chongzhen beckoned to him: "Take a break, eat something, the queen's craftsmanship is getting better and better." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Wang Chengen hurriedly knelt on the ground to thank him, Queen Zhou's craftsmanship is not something that anyone can taste.
Wiping his mouth and throwing the towel on the table, Emperor Chongzhen stood up, walked straight to Wang Chengen's side, and stretched out his hand to pull him up: "Okay, you used to accompany me to eat in the palace, although there are many rules in the palace, but there are not so many rules between me and you." ”
"Emperor Xie!" Wang Chengen felt the temperature coming from Emperor Chongzhen's hand, and hurriedly said.
After lunch, Emperor Chongzhen met Shi Bangyao, the Taichang Siqing, the martyred minister.
Shi Bangyao didn't expect Emperor Chongzhen to summon him, although Taichang Temple is a yamen in charge of etiquette, but it is really not a big deal, even if it is a Qingshui yamen. Emperor Chongzhen summoned him so urgently, and Shi Bangyao was also uneasy in his heart.
Picking up his robe and kneeling on the ground, Shi Bangyao said loudly: "Minister Shi Bangyao see the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”
Emperor Chongzhen looked at Shi Bangyao, who looked like he was in his forties at this time, and his beard was not very long, but he was very clean. An official uniform is also very decent, although he didn't look up, but Emperor Chongzhen can still feel that this is a shrewd person.
The figure is a little thin, which makes Shi Bangyao more energetic, Emperor Chongzhen just looked at Shi Bangyao and didn't speak, and the atmosphere in the hall was a little dignified.
Shi Bangyao's breathing sound became a lot heavier, many ministers used to joke, seeing that the emperor had nothing more than two results, either to be added to the rank of knight, or to die without a full body, as for the probability, it is difficult to say. For Shi Bangyao, the possibility of becoming an official at this moment is too small.
After a long time, Emperor Chongzhen said lightly: "Get up and talk back, have you had lunch, let the imperial dining room prepare some food for you?" ”
As soon as he heard Emperor Chongzhen's question, Shi Bangyao complained in his heart, no matter how he answered this question, it was not good. Said that he didn't eat, let the emperor wait for him to eat? said that he ate it, but he obviously didn't eat it, that is a bully.
Emperor Chongzhen also deliberately made things difficult for Shi Bangyao, wanting to see his reaction.
"Back to the emperor, the minister brought some dry food when he came, and he had already eaten it when he saw him later." Shi Bangyao bowed and said.
Nodding, Emperor Chongzhen smiled, there is no proof of death, and the counter-proof proves that the food has been eaten in the stomach, and has it all been eaten. Glancing at Shi Bangyao, Emperor Chongzhen handed a copy of the fold to Wang Chengen: "Take it to Shi Aiqing and take a look!" ”
There is nothing special about this recital, but the recital of participating in the impeachment of Wei Zhongxian is still more intense.
Shi Bangyao was stunned for a moment, looking at the twists and turns? Is there anyone who is involved in impeaching himself? But what do I have to impeach, Taichang Temple is a Qingshui Yamen, and he has not been corrupt or bribed, let alone forming a party for personal gain, and he felt a little uneasy for a while.
In this court, Shi Bangyao has seen too many unnecessary things, and Emperor Chongzhen showed himself the twists and turns, so naturally it is impossible to just look at it.
Picking up the fold, Shi Bangyao looked at it carefully, and soon found that this was the excerpt of the impeachment of Wei Zhongxian.
I looked at the payment, it was a royal history, although I had seen it, and I was an official in the same dynasty, but I was not familiar with it. But what does the emperor do to show himself such a twist? Shi Bangyao was a little puzzled, and slowly folded the piece together, Shi Bangyao stood aside, waiting for Emperor Chongzhen to ask.
"Shi Aiqing, what do you think of this setback?" Emperor Chongzhen looked at Shi Bangyao expressionlessly and asked in a deep voice.
Ask yourself? Shi Bangyao's brain was spinning rapidly, Emperor Chongzhen's question was definitely not so simple, but he hadn't grasped the point so far. After thinking about it, Shi Bangyao still said: "This is the impeachment of the master of ceremonies and the official Wei Gonggong. ”
Seeing that Shi Bangyao stopped, Emperor Chongzhen frowned, but he didn't speak, just stared at Shi Bangyao.
"Wechen feels that this performance represents the thoughts of most officials in the imperial court." Saying this, Shi Bangyao breathed a sigh of relief, and this is what happened horizontally and vertically.
"Then what does Shi Aiqing think of Wei Zhongxian?" Emperor Chongzhen looked at Shi Bangyao and said lightly: "Eunuch of the country, or a hero of the Ming Dynasty?" ”
Shi Bangyao's forehead was already oozing fine beads of sweat, and he was bitter in his heart, who would have thought that the emperor would call him to ask Wei Zhongxian about it, this is simply a disaster, he didn't even play the fold, how could he find himself.
"Weichen, Weichen thinks that Wei Zhongxian has it, but there is also it." After saying this, Shi Bangyao looked at Emperor Chongzhen, wanting to see Emperor Chongzhen's expression, but he didn't see anything. From beginning to end, Emperor Chongzhen had that expression.
This kind of joy and anger is invisible, and he can't guess the emperor's mind at all, Shi Bangyao feels that it is the most difficult to do.
Whether you like it or not, as long as the emperor has emotions, it is the best, and once there is no emotion, it will be really bad.
The Jiajing Emperor in history has always been known for his moodiness, and if the ministers want to guess this person's mind, it is impossible. But no minister dared to underestimate Emperor Jiajing, and this emperor fought with the ministers all his life.
"There is also merit, and there is also a pass?" Emperor Chongzhen repeated Shi Bangyao's words, and he could be said to be extremely disappointed in his heart, and smiled slightly: "Then what do you think of me?" The court and the court have participated in the impeachment of Wei Zhongxian again, what should I do with him? Killed? Or is it guaranteed? ”
Shi Bangyao's eyes lit up, and he was relieved in his heart, although he didn't know why Emperor Chongzhen found him, but he finally understood what Emperor Chongzhen meant.
"The minister thinks that the ministers are participating in the eunuch party and Wei Zhongxian, and it is not enough to clarify the discipline and discipline if they don't investigate, and it is not enough to reassure the people." Shi Bangyao gritted his teeth and said loudly: "What is Wei Zhongxian, just check it out, without these things mentioned in the fold, you can also return Grandpa Wei's innocence." ”
Emperor Chongzhen looked at Shi Bangyao and didn't speak for a long time, and finally waved his hand and signaled Shi Bangyao to retreat.
Seeing Emperor Chongzhen's attitude, how could Shi Bangyao not understand that Emperor Chongzhen was not satisfied with his answer. Shi Bangyao felt bitter in his heart, but he didn't know what to do, this matter was too big, so big that he couldn't power it at all.
Looking at Shi Bangyao's back, Emperor Chongzhen sat on the dragon chair with a wry smile.
I thought that the minister who was martyred for the Ming Dynasty was at least loyal and dared to say something that others did not dare to say, but Emperor Chongzhen knew that he was wrong. You can ask questions, but there are no solutions, and there are no good ideas to solve them.
The words that Shi Bangyao said before his martyrdom, Emperor Chongzhen had a deeper understanding at this time.
"It's hard to be ashamed, only lonely and loyal to repay the country!"
Maybe as a good person in the imperial history, he can impeach others and govern the place, and rise to the level of national policy, Shi Bangyao is not such a talent.
Emperor Chongzhen picked up the pen again and wrote four words on the paper again: know people and be good at their duties!
Glancing at Wang Chengen, Emperor Chongzhen leaned on the dragon chair, smiled slightly, and found a material for Shuntian Mansion Yin. It's just that you need to think about it to see if Shi Bangyao has the determination to offend people, if he is a good person, he doesn't have to do it.
"Spread the decree and promote Shi Bangyao to the right deputy capital envoy." Emperor Chongzhen put down the pen and said with a smile: "Look at your performance!" ”
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Wang Chengen could see that Emperor Chongzhen was dissatisfied with Shi Bangyao's answer, but Emperor Chongzhen also promoted Shi Bangyao, why is this?
Emperor's mental technique, Wang Chengen boiled down to these four words, he used to know Emperor Chongzhen very well, but now he can't understand it, the emperor's approach in front of him is incomprehensible, and I believe that many ministers can't understand it.
Emperor Chongzhen didn't care whether others could see it or not, and he had already made a decision in his heart, that is, to drag it first. Wait and see, anyway, Wei Zhongxian is already under his control, so he will not move for the time being, and wait and see what happens.
Breathing a sigh of relief, Emperor Chongzhen felt that the most important thing was to take down Dongchang and Jinyiwei, and he couldn't be blind!
Just listening to the minister, it is no different from the blind and deaf, Emperor Chongzhen doesn't want to be defeated outside, and he is still kept in the dark by the minister.
