When he heard that something was wrong in the palace, Wang Tingxiang rushed over as soon as possible. The pen "Fun" Pavilion looked at www.biquge.info palace people who were kneeling in front of the Qianqing Palace, and he couldn't help but sigh lightly.

This matter has come to this point, in fact, both parties are responsible, and the biggest mistake is that they should not touch the emperor's brow at this time and this point. Wang Tingxiang naturally knew that whenever the emperor took a nap, there would be a "wake-up gas" that made him feel extremely irritable. It's like a powder keg, and if you don't like it, you can blow it up. It can only be said that these people themselves are unlucky to harass the emperor at this time.

"I'll leave it to Lord Yang here, and I'll go to Your Majesty to solve this matter." Yang Ling, director of the Inner Security Bureau on the opposite side of Wang Ting, admonished.

Yang Ling nodded and said, "My lord, please rest assured, everything here is left to me." ”

In fact, for this group of troublesome palace people, not only Wang Tingxiang and the other three chief and deputy directors of the internal affairs office are under great pressure, but he, the director of the internal security bureau, is also under great pressure. As a yamen responsible for the security of the palace, it was inexplicable that so many people came to the Qianqing Palace to make trouble, and he didn't even notice it, which was too dereliction of duty.

"I don't know what the emperor will do with himself." He looked at the back of Wang Tingxiang leaving in a hurry, and his mood became more and more uneasy, quietly waiting for the verdict of fate.

Zheng De, who was walking in the palace garden, calmed down quietly, thinking of the group of people who were still kneeling in front of the Qianqing Palace, he felt that he was too impulsive. He also regretted that he ran away in a fit of rage, and he was very uneasy at the thought of so many people kneeling there.

In the final analysis, he was just an ordinary citizen in his previous life, and he was not really born in a noble royal family like he was in today's life. He really couldn't do things that treated ordinary people like mustards, and he didn't think about doing so. I don't feel that it is a matter of course to punish a person at will, but I feel that I am also a little at fault. You shouldn't have let so many people kneel there because of your own tantrums.

But now that the mistake had been made, he still couldn't put down his son and get them up. can only walk aimlessly in the palace garden, thinking about how this matter should end.

"Wechen see Your Majesty."

A familiar voice sounded in his ears, bringing Zheng Dela, who was deep in thought, back to reality, he looked back and saw Wang Tingxiang standing in front of him, nodding lightly, "Ziheng, you are here." ”

"Your Majesty, this matter is all caused by the minister's unfavorable affairs, and I have come to ask Your Majesty for the guilt." Wang Tingxiang said with a serious face.

Zheng De glanced at him and shook his head, "I don't blame you for this, now let's figure out how to solve this matter." ”

Wang Tingxiang was stunned, he was already ready to bear the emperor's wrath. I didn't expect Zheng De to take his responsibility so lightly, which was really unexpected and slightly moved. However, he still insisted, "As the Minister in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Weichen has made such a big mistake in his affairs, and he should be punished, otherwise it will be difficult to convince the public, and I ask Your Majesty to surrender." ”

Zheng De also felt that what he said made some sense, so he asked, "Then how does Aiqing think it should be punished?" ”

"Your Majesty, is it better for you to ask the person who is being punished how to punish him?" Wang Tingxiang couldn't cry or laugh when he heard this, so he had no choice but to say, "Your Majesty, Weichen is a person who makes mistakes." ”

"I know, what's wrong?" Zheng De looked at him with a puzzled expression, "Don't you know how to punish yourself, then you can wait and think about it later." ”

"Can this be?" Wang Tingxiang had an urge to hit the wall, and after thinking about it, he had to grit his teeth and say, "Then please ask Your Majesty to punish the ministers for half a year and give a hundred rods." ”

"If you give a hundred rods, you will be fined for half a year." Zheng De made the final penalty decision.

In fact, it was not that Zheng De deliberately embarrassed him by letting Wang Tingxiang solve the problem of how to punish himself, but he couldn't think of how to punish him. The Ming Dynasty's "Da Ming Law" stipulates five punishments, such as flogging, rod, imprisonment, flow, and death, but these five punishments are too much to punish Wang Tingxiang, if he accidentally makes a mistake, then who will do things for him?

"It seems that the issuance of edicts or the formulation of regulations needs to be carried out in advance." He had thought about it a long time ago, but unfortunately he hadn't done it until now for various reasons.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your forgiveness." Wang Tingxiang also secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, if he was really punished with a hundred rods, he might not be able to bear it. If the wound worsens by accident, it is estimated that there will be no life. This is not a joke, in the "Great Ceremony" incident in history, a total of 17 ministers were killed because of this. Of course, in this dimension, the "Great Etiquette" thing will not happen again.

"Then now this matter, Ziheng, how do you think it should be solved?"

Hearing Zheng De's somewhat anxious voice, Wang Tingxiang didn't expect that the emperor was still worried about those palace people kneeling in front of the Qianqing Palace. But it also reassured him, obviously the emperor was not really angry, so this matter would be much easier.

He said deliberately, "Since they have collided with the Holy Lord, then send them all out of the palace, what does Your Majesty think?" ”

"Since they came to Qianqing Palace to ask for their lives, there must be something going on, do you really think it's appropriate to act like this?" Zheng De looked at him dissatisfied.

Hearing the emperor say this, Wang Tingxiang was both expected and unexpected. Unexpectedly, the emperor was not angry because of this matter, and it was unexpected that the emperor still cared about the plea of this group of people. It also made him understand that the emperor is not a person who really likes to be self-willed, and maybe he will lose his temper because of something. But as long as he calms down, he can still look at things correctly. And from this matter, it seems that this great emperor is obviously a rather benevolent king.

A merciful king?

If Zheng De knew that Wang Tingxiang had labeled himself with such a label, I am afraid that most of them would be crying and laughing, am I so discouraged?

However, why didn't the emperor solve it in person, Wang Tingxiang also guessed it, mostly because of face problems. Thinking of this, he said to Zheng De, "If Your Majesty is willing to give the minister a chance to mend his ways, then leave this matter to the minister to deal with." ”

Zheng De glanced at him with a deep sigh, "It's okay, I'll leave this matter to you to deal with, and I'll hand over the results to me when the time comes." ”

"Obey."

"Ziheng, do you know, in fact, I don't want to be this emperor." Zheng De suddenly said such a sentence to Wang Tingxiang, which made the latter stunned for a while, and he didn't know what to say for a while, and he couldn't say anything, so he could only remain silent.

Zheng De said to himself, "Actually, I am a person who is very content with the status quo, I don't care about things like Zhongxing Daming, and I am happy to be a king." However, I don't think anyone is not unambitious, but for various reasons. In fact, I also want to be a great king, a great emperor like Emperor Qin, Han Wu, Tang Emperor and Song Zu. But I am still self-aware, and I know that I am probably not as capable as theirs. So I need a powerful minister to help myself, just like Qin Xiaogong did to Shang Ying. ”

"Qin Xiaogong is most praised in history not for his ability, but for the fact that he discovered Shang Ying and has been silently supporting his reform behind his back. For more than ten years, until his death, he never changed because of slander, and finally made Qin Yiyue the first power at the end of the Warring States Period, and finally annexed the six countries to unify the world. So I want to be a character like Qin Xiaogong, and you will be my Shang Ying? ”

And will you be my martingale?

Hearing that the emperor was so self-conscious, Wang Tingxiang was shocked, but it was fake not to be moved. Although he knew that the emperor had always valued himself very much, and he had always compared himself with Guan Zhongshang Ying, he always felt that it was just a joke made by the emperor. Unexpectedly, this turned out to be true, which made it difficult for him to calm down.

"Your Majesty......"

He was about to say something, but was interrupted by Zheng De, "I don't need you to give me any answers, and I don't need you to promise me anything, these are all false." What I hope is that you can finally rely on your ability to show me with facts, which is the most real. ”

After saying such sensational words, Zheng De himself couldn't stand it anymore, coughed awkwardly, and waved his hand, "Okay, you go and solve the troublesome matter in front of the Qianqing Palace first." Then in the remaining period of the eighteenth year of Hongzhi, I will think about the current shortcomings of the Ming Dynasty, and then in the first year of Zhengde, I will sort out the answers to the solution to me, and see if I can create a powerful and prosperous Ming Empire like Qin Xiaogong. ”

Create a powerful and prosperous Ming Empire!

After listening to Zheng De's words, Wang Tingxiang was also enthusiastic. As the former said before, no one is not without ambition. Why was he able to get together with Kang Hai, Li Mengyang and others, didn't he have a common goal, hoping to eliminate the pros and cons and pros and rejuvenate the Ming dynasty? Now the emperor has drawn this grand blueprint for him, which can naturally resonate in his heart. However, if you change the old antiques of the three princes and nine kings of the imperial court, it is estimated that it is similar to playing the piano to the cow, and it is the best result if they are not ignored.

Of course, the emperor is also under a lot of pressure to label him as "Shang Ying"!

After all, reform is not just a matter of shouting slogans, and if we do not come up with some advanced and mature systems or policies to implement them, how can we talk about reform?

Although Wang Tingxiang had some vague ideas before, it was still immature. Now that the emperor's words have come to this, if he doesn't go back and think about it carefully, and rethink those thoughts in his heart, won't he live up to the emperor's love?

Thinking of this, his heart had already flown back. Hurriedly bid farewell to Zheng De, and wanted to go back as soon as possible to deal with the matter in front of the Qianqing Palace, and then think about how to eliminate the pros and cons and rejuvenate the Ming Dynasty.

"Although I don't ask for a comparison with Shang Ying, at least I want to let Daming have a new atmosphere."

This is the thought in Wang Tingxiang's mind at the moment, but what he doesn't know is that in someone's mind, there is already something beyond this world for five hundred years, and the little thing he took out is just a small end, and it is estimated that it is a waste of thought to take it out in the end.

"I hope you can grow up as soon as possible, I'm so relaxed and relaxed, I'm really tired of dealing with the old guys in the court like this all day long." Looking at the back of Wang Tingxiang's departure, Zheng De muttered to himself. Then he stretched a long lazy waist, twisted his waist and stretched his arms to kick his legs, feeling too tired to do it.

What he said today was also inspired by his feelings, and he fought wits and courage with the ministers of the imperial court every day, which made him feel too tired to live. If he could let go of everything in the court and live a free life every day, he would naturally be extremely happy. Unfortunately, there is no "what if" in many things around the world.
