Chapter 169: The First Rister of the Ming Dynasty
"I have had, let's exchange my blood for the bright future!" It's not over, it's not over, who's afraid of whom? Zhengde's anger was not finished, and he continued to recall the words of the imperial historians just now.
"Your Majesty has no fault, Your Majesty is the son of the Holy Heaven, how can there be any fault." Scholar Liu began to sweat on his forehead, this master is going to carry out the counterattack to the end.
"I'm not a saint, I can't even understand a case of greed for military salaries...... "It's easy to make these old men soft, and Zhengde decided to chase the poor and completely turn around."
"Since Your Majesty has made a decision, this matter will be subject to Your Majesty's trial." Scholar Liu didn't care about discussing with the Shangshu of the Criminal Department and Dali Siqing, so he should come down directly, and now the most important thing is to appease the emperor, and the procedural rules or something, so he had to put it aside first.
"That patrolman Shen Fei ......" Zhengde looked at the sky with both eyes.
"Shen Fei is a patrol of the imperial history, but he knows the law and violates the law, and he is greedy for military salaries, which is the shame of Shilin, and he deserves death!" Scholar Liu grabbed the ground with his head.
"I didn't inform a few scholars, so I ran to Xuanfu ......" Zhengde shook his head and sighed, repenting.
“…… Your Majesty is worried about the people, and it is a blessing for me to inspect the border passes. Scholar Liu couldn't hold on anymore, and turned his head to signal Xie Qian, so Scholar Xie gritted his teeth and went up, and said these words with a clear conscience.
"I also falsely reported my military exploits, and I didn't give the first rank to the military department...... Zhengde was not even afraid of Xie Qian, who was the most afraid in the past, and continued to introspect with his head shaken his head.
“…… His Majesty will build the head of the Tartars into a Beijing view, which is to raise the prestige of our Ming army, to comfort the heroic souls of the martyrs of the Ming Dynasty, and to soothe the souls of the soldiers and civilians who died. "Xie Qian is worthy of the title of 'You Kankan', and after changing the blunt rhetoric of Scholar Liu, he finally has a coaxing appearance.
"So, the three scholars all said so, it seems that I didn't do anything wrong?" Zhengde nodded, obviously satisfied with Scholar Xie's compliment.
"Your Majesty Shengming...... "Scholar Xie is very weak, he is a righteous man, he really can't say too many words against his will, so he has to use this almighty sentence perfunctory. However, he also breathed a sigh of relief, and said that you are not wrong, you should put down the sword, right?
"Then I can ride a horse in the future?" Of course, it's not over yet...... As a former educator, Scholar Xie is obviously unqualified, he doesn't know his students thoroughly, the result is that he relaxed prematurely, listening to Zhengde's words, he only felt a surge of qi and blood, and wanted to faint, so he had to wave his hand to Li Dongyang and signal for a change.
"If it's not too frequent, it's not that it's not negotiable......" Li Dongyang was much more sleek, and his words were full of ambiguous words.
"Then you can eat as much as you want?" How great the oppression, how strong the rebound is, Zhengde's current behavior is verifying this truth, he is unrelenting, and his indomitable energy is full of indomitable energy.
"If it's not too much, it's not that you can't consider it......" The old slippery head has obviously practiced Tai Chi, and he has practiced a cloud hand to be superb, and he can push it if he can, and he can unload it.
"That I ......"
"If it ......"
…… Zhengde pressed step by step, wanting to turn over completely, but Li Dongyang was tepid, firmly controlled the situation, did not sign any unequal treaties, and even Zhengde's sharpness was worn away by him a lot, and the originally tense situation gradually eased.
"Then I ......" Zhengde wanted to say more, but found that there was nothing to say, everything that should be said was said, and Scholar Li also responded, but he didn't agree to anything, and he was depressed.
"Your Majesty has been away from Beijing for more than a month, the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother are also not thinking about tea and dinner, and they miss you very much, why don't you go back to the palace first? Everything else can be done in the long run. ”
Li Dongyang first consumed Zhengde's sharpness, and then sacrificed the magic weapon of the Queen Mother, seeing that Zhengde began to waver. The hundred officials were amazed in their hearts, Scholar Li was really resourceful, and this unprecedented crisis was actually resolved by him, which was really amazing.
In fact, it's not that Li Dongyang's resourcefulness surpasses Liu Jian and Xie Qian, it's just that those two people have always regarded Zhengde as the emperor, and they are the emperors they can teach a lesson, and the emotions of the two sides are naturally opposite, no matter who overwhelms whom, the overwhelmed side will not be happy in their hearts.
And Li Dongyang treats Zhengde as a child, and the best way to deal with children is not to deceive and coax? The reason why he didn't agree directly was that he didn't want to leave a handle on people, otherwise he could have agreed, and what if he agreed? It's not like it's time to go back.
Because Empress Dowager Zhang is more strict, Zhengde actually has a closer relationship with Hongzhi, but this is just a child's fear of strict parents, but it is not estranged.
Zhengde is actually a filial child, after listening to Li Dongyang's words, his heart also flashed with thoughts of his mother and grandmother, but he was still not very willing, and even took out the secret weapon, so it was easy to gain the upper hand, but he didn't get any results, isn't this a toss in vain?
He thought about it, but decided to get something, the eldest brother said that what he did must be rewarded, so Zhengde pointed at Xie Hong and said categorically: "This is Xie Hong Xie Aiqing, very talented, so, I decided to reuse him!" That's good, Xie Aiqing is good at craftsmanship and ingenuity, so let's go to the Ministry of Industry to be a waiter. ”
Li Dongyang gasped, and the hearts that Xie Qian and Liu Jian had just fallen back into their stomachs were lifted again; The courtiers also looked at Zhengde in disbelief, and looked at Xie Hong in the direction of his finger, as if they wanted to see what kind of monster Xie Hong was; Even the officials who were originally dejected couldn't help but raise their heads and open their mouths wide, if it weren't for the sword still pointing at Zhengde's chest, they would definitely get up and let out all kinds of roars.
Squire?
Just because he is a talent who doesn't even have a reputation? is also a talent who does not read, goes astray, and specializes in fiddling with some strange silver skills; Besides, this person is still a courtier who can only meet and pat horses, how can he be allowed to enter the court as a courtier, and he must be in the position of a squire? Even if the Ministry of Works' squire has the lowest status among the six departments, it is not something that a courtier can touch.
The imperial historians had just suffered a heavy blow and did not dare to speak out, but Scholar Liu was anxious and said loudly: "Your Majesty, by all means!" ”
The rest of the ministers and Jiuqing also knelt down together, echoing in unison, and Ma Wensheng, the secretary of the ministry, said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, the officials are promoted, and the court has its own laws, how can you be so rash?" Besides, Xie Hong has no merit and fame, and he has no virtue and qualifications, how can he be suddenly promoted to the position of a waiter? Please think twice and take back your life. ”
Zhengde frowned and said, "Then what if you have a fame?" That's good, wouldn't I give Xie Hong a fellow jinshi background? ”
He is not whimsical, but the emperor has the power to give a meritorious name, but the imperial gift is not necessarily good, such a meritorious name, whether in the forest or in the court, no one can afford it. Not to mention the imperial gift, even if you participate in the imperial examination, as long as you are not a jinshi and a first, you will still have to be a dwarf.
What's more, even if it is a Jinshi and a first, there is no reason to suddenly rise from a white Ding to a six-part squire! Uh, it's not Bai Ding, it's Jinyi Wei Qianhu, so it's not as good as Bai Ding.
This time, with the scholar and the six scholars to pick the head, the courtiers scratched again, although Zhengde still held the sword, but the system of the court is more important, even if there is a case, it is also the head of the scholar Liu, right? Besides, the emperor is worried about giving the courtiers around him an official, and the obvious impulse has passed, so what should he be afraid of?
The crowd objected, each with their own words, and Zhang Sheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, cried on the ground, claiming to be ashamed of the trust of the first emperor, so that the etiquette of the court collapsed, and the Son of Heaven gave grace and reward Yunyun indiscriminately. His crying inspired many people, we can't get the emperor to commit suicide, but we can cry, crying alone is nothing, we can cry together.
So the crying, shouting, and all kinds of exhortations were loud, and the suburbs of Beijing became noisy again.
When Zhengde was making a fuss, Xie Hong had the intention of calming things down, but he just watched coldly from the sidelines. He knew in his heart that it was okay to scare people with Zhengde by getting this trick, but in fact it was not lethal, so he was happy to see that the matter had a chance to be solved.
Who would think that Zhengde is here again, what is the official position of the waiter, Xie Hong doesn't know, he also understands and appreciates Zhengde's intentions, but now is not the time to mention these things, once it makes a big fuss, when the ministers enter the state, maybe the old things will be brought up again or other situations will occur.
Xie Hong didn't care about being noticed, so he hurriedly gave Zhengde another look, wanting to signal him to calm down.
A philosopher once said that fate and tacit understanding are floating clouds, ethereal, and untrue, which philosopher Xie Hong doesn't remember, but he immediately realized the correct surname of this sentence.
Zhengde looked back at Xie Hong firmly, and then said loudly to the hundred officials: "All Aiqing don't respect me at all, and it's not interesting for me to live, alas, let me stay and take care of it!" ”
His words were inexplicable, making people scratch their heads, but his movements were surprising, I saw him raise his arm slightly, and then stabbed down hard, fiercely, and without hesitation! In a flash of cold light, the sword in his hand had pierced into his chest to the end...... Oh my God, the emperor really committed suicide!
Liu Jian's eyes were dark, his body shook, and he fell softly, looking up at the sky, his heart was at a loss...... He is the leader, he has the highest status, and he shouts loudly.
Ma Wensheng had just finished talking about the official system of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, lying on the ground and knocking falsely, and was about to start talking about the Sui and Tang dynasties. As a result, he naturally couldn't speak, and his head slammed on the ground, just hitting a stone, and his forehead immediately swollen, and he didn't feel any pain at all, looking down at the thick soil, and there was only one voice in Ma's heart: It's not my fault...... is also a scholar, but Zhang Sheng is much calmer than his colleagues, he will do whatever he has to do, anyway, he is already crying. It's just that there are more tears now, and the crying is even louder: I cried the emperor to death? It's so unreasonable, it's wrong to cry, when the first emperor was there, the old man often cried and admonished, and it was very effective...... Wang Yushi had already fainted once, just woke up, but as soon as he looked up, he saw such a scene, Wang Yushi didn't say a word, his eyes were closed, and he fainted again, and there was only one last thought in his heart: it turns out that saints can also deceive people, they say that direct advice can leave a good name for the ages, but I have committed it twice, why is this end more miserable than the last.
The initiator Su Yushi's eyes were full of despair, and the knife in his hand had already fallen to the ground, but he wanted to pick up the dagger at this time and cut himself off, but he was trembling all over, and his hands were trembling, but he couldn't use his strength, let alone commit suicide, and he couldn't even pick up the knife.
The original pride and ambition have been scattered with the wind, leaving Su Yushi only full of sorrow...... He looked back sadly, wanting to get something from his teacher, Master Zhang, but everywhere he looked, including his teacher, everyone was in a hurry to avoid him, as if he was a plague god. It was the scholar who made the emperor angry, but it was Su who made the emperor shine his sword, who dared to have anything to do with him? Do you want to have a family name? It's going to die!
The parties have their own sorrows, and the audience also looked at the figure under Huang Luo's umbrella blankly, with regret and sorrow in their hearts, the emperor died? What should the Ming Dynasty do? What is the world going to do?
…… In the future, when onlookers watch, we will no longer coax.
But not everyone was in a daze, Liu Jin, Gu Dayong, these close attendants and the imperial doctors of the Tai Hospital all reacted quickly, and ran to Zhengde with a glimmer of hope, hoping to save the emperor's life.
The more they get to the front, the more hope these people feel, and they have been stabbed in for a long time, and the emperor has not yet fallen, which shows that the emperor's vitality is still very strong, and there is hope.
The first to find the problem was Gu Dayong and Liu Jin, the two of them were the closest, and they hurriedly climbed up to Lihe, while supporting Zhengde, while checking the wound, but they were stunned to find that there was no blood around the wound. And the originally long sword was pierced to the brim, but from the back of the emperor, the tip of the sword could not be seen...... The two of them were stunned, and the imperial doctor also came up, and the professional's vision was even older, and they could see it at a glance, which is that there is no blood in the wound, and there is no wound at all, okay? Not to mention the wound, obviously not even the clothes are torn, fake!
"Hahaha......"
Lihe was inexplicably surprised, Lihe was mourning all over the place, and at this moment, Zhengde, who should have died, let out a burst of laughter.
So, the people below Li and the people below also began to be surprised, and the people above Li and the people above were even more surprised, and Zhengde said triumphantly: "Everyone Aiqing has worked hard, I'm afraid that everyone is too hard, so make a little joke with you, interesting, right?" Next time I think it's more interesting, let's come again, I'm tired today, so I'll stop here. Well, drive back to the palace. ”
As he spoke, he fiddled with the sword in his hand, constantly changing from short to long, and then from long to short, expanding and contracting, and changing in a myriad of ways.
"Shh......h
Except for those who had already fainted, 100,000 people breathed a long sigh of relief at the same time, and everyone scolded in their hearts: "Is there such a joke? Where is it interesting, it's not interesting at all, okay, who wants to come with you again, you spare us! Who did the sin that made such a sword the same as the real one, and returned it to the emperor, this person is really bad, bad to the bone. ”
People who are so bad to the bone are actually very depressed, Xie Hong felt that his eyes were obviously telling Zhengde to enter the city quickly, why did it become the current situation? Tacit understanding is really unreliable.
"Your Majesty, what I just meant was to say, let's make less trouble, hurry up and enter the city, how can you ......" Xie Hong couldn't help but ask.
"yes, isn't that fast?" Zhengde pointed innocently ahead.
"Uh......" is also true, when Zhengde made such a play, the courtiers were all shocked, Zhengde ordered to drive back to the palace, and no one continued to stop him.
"Besides, this is what you taught me, big brother." Zhengde continued.
"How can I teach you this?" Xie Hong's eyes widened, my brother obviously wanted to keep a low profile, quietly enter the city, don't be promoted, my brother is a good person.
"What did you say when you gave me the sword?" Zhengde's eyes flashed wide, and he looked reminiscing.
Xie Hong was a little confused, "Huh? ”
"Big brother, didn't you say that this sword is just used to scare people? And the essence of the art of war is to take it by surprise......"
Xie Hong burst into tears, this was really what he said, "But the question is, didn't I say these two sentences together?" "Is there anyone more wronged than me?
"Well...... Zhengde rolled his eyes, "that's what it means anyway." Then he took the sword and gestured twice, and said complacently: "I scared so many people at once, and this can be regarded as making the best use of things, haha." ”
Xie Hong was speechless.
While the Son of Heaven drove into the city, the courtiers still maintained their original posture, like wood carvings.
Suddenly, one of them suddenly stood up and shouted: "By the way, it's him, it's him!" ”
The blank eyes slowly moved over, focusing on this person, and found that it was Su Yushi, everyone sighed, it seems that this young and promising Yushi is really crazy, no wonder, the stimulation is too great.
Feeling the distrust of everyone, Su Yushi was furious, used all his strength, and shouted loudly: "It's that Xie Hong!" He is good at strange silver skills, the sword must have been made by him, and it was he who instigated the emperor to draw the sword, and finally hinted that it was he who raised the sword and stabbed himself! ”
Su Yushi was relatively close when he admonished, and when he saw Xie Hong turn his head a few times, it was a critical moment, and he didn't pay attention to it, but after his mood fluctuated, he suddenly remembered it.
With the goal of hatred, everyone's eyes gradually lit up.
"Rigoletto! The number one courtier of the Ming Dynasty is Xie Hong, and it is because of him that he has brought the emperor badly! Su Yushi's shout began to be echoed.
"On the side of Qingjun, start with Rigoslav Xie Hong!" The crowd is excited, it turns out that this person is the culprit, such a bad person, it is really the first courtier of the Ming Dynasty!
