Chapter 764: The Monarch's Father and Courtiers (Part II)
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
"I beg the Holy Lord to have mercy...... Wang Ji followed Li Zhen, got up from the futon, knelt down in the dust, and screamed with old tears.
"I beg the Holy Majesty to have mercy on ......," the famous Ru Luo Rufang also knelt down.
Immediately afterwards, Li Wei, Ouyang De and others ...... Xu Wei and all the Tai students also knelt down, and then after a slight pause, the ministers who were ordered to refute Hai Rui also knelt down.
Seeing that the black pressure in the field was pressed to the ground, the remaining few who were sitting slowly knelt down.
I don't know where the strength came from, Jiajing actually stood up strongly, and Ma Sen and Huang Jin hurriedly supported one left and one right.
"At the door." Jiajing's eyes looked straight ahead.
The two eunuchs did not dare to disobey, and carefully carried the emperor forward two steps. Jiajing finally saw through the window lattice the lush and thick Sangong Huai, the thick crown of the tree swayed slightly in the afternoon sun, shining like a jewel, mysterious and magnificent......
Simple standing, for Jiajing at this time, was already an extreme sport, and soon his breath was heavy, and his face turned red, but he still stubbornly held on, his eyes were round, and he stared at the literati who knelt in front of Sangonghuai.
Jiajing was extremely smart and heard Li Zhen's words clearly. That speech, which was very exciting, but what is the difference between it and Hai Rui's "Public Security and Sparseness"? In fact, it is just to tell Hai Jui's recital in a more euphemistic, more convincing, and more acceptable statement. I believe that everyone present understood, but no one stood up and refuted him like a refutation of "Public Security".
Those ministers who were ordered to refute Hai Rui, as well as Wang Shizhen, who tried his best to defend himself, and Ouyang De, Li Wei, and other physicists, why didn't they oppose Li Zhen? Because what they have always opposed is only Hai Jui's behavior of committing the following offenses and violating the norms, but they are not opposing Hai Jui's views. When he felt that Li Zhen's euphemistic and humble statement could be accepted by the emperor, no one objected to it......
There may be some who disagree, but they all understand what people want...... Not only the hearts of the people on this scene, but also the hearts of the people of the world. Why bother to be blamed by a thousand people? Wouldn't it be better to go with the flow?
Jiajing's ears sounded Hai Rui's voice again: "The words 'people in the world are not worth Your Majesty's long-term ......' have been tormenting the emperor for a long time, but this time it sounded no hostility, no provocation, not even a little emotion, just a simple statement of facts:
The people's hearts are turned against each other, and it is clear that right and wrong are right and wrong, and there is no need to argue......
One last glance at Hai Rui, who was kneeling on the podium, Jiajing slowly withdrew his gaze looking out the window, which had never been so dazed, so isolated and helpless...... This result made him uncomfortable, and it was difficult for him to accept it, but he had to accept it.
'I see......,' Jiajing's voice became weaker and weaker, "I see...... People in the world really ......"
"Master......" felt that the strength in his hand was heavier, as if the emperor had lost his strength, Ma Sen looked up and saw that Jiajing's head was already soft and crooked to the side, and saw blood slowly flowing from his nostrils, and then a wisp of blood also flowed from the corner of his mouth.
Huang Jin was also shocked, and hurriedly covered Jiajing's bleeding nostrils with a white scarf. At this time, he couldn't care much more, and screamed loudly: "Someone!" The eunuchs and the Han generals all gathered around, but they were at a loss like headless flies.
"Hurry up and lift the emperor to the public car" Huang Jin was so anxious that he stomped his feet and said: "What are you doing around, don't go to open the road"
Hurriedly came up two eunuchs, and Huang Jin and Huang Jin, carefully put Jiajing flat on the lift, the eunuchs quickly pushed the door open, and the Han generals lifted Jiajing and ran out like a swarm.
As soon as the people outside got up, they heard a panicked scream in the north guard room. Just as he was wondering what was going on, he saw a group of eunuchs and imperial guards, as if fleeing, crowding out of the door with a roof of the house.
"Kneel down, don't look up" Seeing everyone peeping, Eunuch Wu hurriedly ran over with the people from Dongchang and scolded loudly, not allowing anyone to look.
He, a eunuch in a big red python robe, came to be a security guard in person, isn't this three hundred taels of silver here? You can guess with your feet who the main owner who was carried out was.
Everyone exchanged glances in horror, never expecting that the emperor would come in person, listen to the debate, and finally go out sideways......
When the people in the palace are gone, there is still silence in the field, and today's events have too much impact on them, and they need time to slowly digest and experience.
Xu Wei was the first to stand up, patted the soil under the placket of the official uniform, sighed, and said, "Everyone, there was originally a hospitality, but ......" Originally, he looked at the good road, but suddenly he was in a bad mood.
Everyone understands that who dares to feast openly at this time, it is really an old birthday star who eats arsenic and lives impatiently.

The backyard of the Pacification Division.
Shen Mo was about to be pissed off by this damn debate.
Zhu Shisan didn't lie to him, and the content of the Sangonghuai debate came in a steady stream, and it was two quarters of an hour later than the scene. But after watching it silently, he just wanted to kill. It took me several years to write a critique of the monarch, the power of the monarch, and the principles of the monarch and ministers, but none of them were expressed. Li Zhen changed his lines, and the person who had arranged it in advance did not speak, and as a result, it was a good deafening and deafening movement.
Thinking that all his hard work had been in vain, and I was afraid that there would never be such a good opportunity again, Shen Mo couldn't control his emotions, threw all those transcripts on the table, and walked around the room in a rage. If he wasn't under house arrest, he would have strangled these people to death one by one.
Seeing that the adult's face was red and blue, and his expression was extremely hideous, it was really abnormal. Zhu Shisan cautiously asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”
Although Shen Mo was angry, his mind was still clear, and it was difficult to tell him the truth. But when he was angry, he couldn't think of a rhetoric to prevaricate the past. Then he became a little embarrassed, pulled the manuscript paper with the transcript in his arms, kicked the chair away with his foot, and walked out the door with a slump.
"What are you going to do, sir?" Zhu Shisan hurriedly followed.
"I've got a bad stomach, Izuku." Silence is not good for air.
"I'll get you toilet paper in a minute." Zhu 13 said.
"No need, it's just right to use this," Shen Mo said as he walked out, almost following the person who came to put it on. When I looked closely, it turned out to be the soldier who reported the news, and the latest report had arrived.
I took it over and looked at it angrily, and it was silent as if I was poured down by a basin of cold water, and I lost my anger all of a sudden, and I saw that it was written: 'All the generals will rise, the room on duty is in an uproar, and all the servants and the royal front rush out, and the eunuch Wu Qin drank to make everyone avoid......
Unexpectedly, Jiajing was present to listen, and finally went out sideways, if Li Zhen and they threw out those shocking remarks according to their own design, once the emperor Yan was driving, the consequences would be unimaginable......
Shen Mo couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and stood there stunned.
Zhu Shisan waited for a long time and asked in a low voice, "Isn't the adult going to be complimentary?" ”
"Oh......" silence was relieved of his apprehension, and then turned back to the house.
"My lord, it's the other way around......" Zhu Shisan shouted.

West Garden.
Xu Jie's six departments and nine qing, kneeling in the Taoist temple of Shengshou Palace, prayed for the blessing of the present day before the Sanqing drive.
Everyone was kneeling on the mat with their hands folded, and their expressions were extremely reverent, but in fact, most of them were absent-minded, thinking about their own thoughts.
However, Xu Jie's prayer was sincere. Although he didn't attend the Sangonghuai, he knew everything that happened over there. At first, Xu Jie was shocked by Li Zhen's shocking words, but later he came back and lowered his posture to advise the emperor. Xu Jie finally put his mind at ease, and asked himself to have another 'spring breeze and rain', and the emperor would almost be able to dissipate his anger, and Hai Rui's life was saved.
Xu Ge has been a eunuch for more than 40 years, and he is an old monster who can defeat Yan Song's father and son. The reason why he rescued Hai Rui so willingly, although there may be an element of appreciation in it, it will definitely not be the main reason. In fact, Xu Jie mainly considered two points, one is that, as shown today, the hearts of the people in the world are wanted, if he plays a negative role in Hai Rui, his reputation will be stained. Second, keeping Hai Jui at this time will surely win the praise of Shilin in the future and obtain rich political rewards. To put it bluntly, it was a political speculation, which is why he was so concerned.
I thought that Hai Rui was back to life, who knew that the sky was not as good as people, the emperor was so angry that he was dying, if he really collapsed in this scene, Da Luo Zhenxian would not be able to save Hai Rui, and the first thing King Yu did when he ascended the throne was to kill him and sue Jiajing...... Not only Hai Rui, but also Li Zhen can't live. Even Shen Mo, who was in the edict prison, although he had feelings for King Yu, could not avoid the fate of wandering for 3,000 miles and never being used.
Xu Jie didn't want to see this kind of consequence, so he ordered someone to invite Li Shizhen, no matter what, he had to save the emperor, and he definitely couldn't let Jiajing die in this scene. But Li Shizhen told him that no matter how high his medical skills were, he couldn't kill him, and if the emperor's longevity was over, no one could save him.
Xu Jie's begging for the gods and Buddhas of the heavens, just asking God to have eyes, don't take his son back first.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Behind Xu Jie, the first one on the left, kneeling was a dignified-looking and burly old man, he was Yang Bo, the title of Shangshu and Prince Taibao of the Ministry of War. Because his grade is higher than that of the rest of the ministries, he is still in front of Guo Pu, the secretary of the ministry. Yang Bo is only about the word, he is a Jinshi in Jiajing for eight years, and he is also the oldest in the ministry, and he became famous thirty years ago, which is beyond everyone's reach. In terms of merit, ability, and power, he is the top member of the court, and even Xu Jie respects him for three points.
Yang Bo returned to Beijing this time, it can be said that he was full of ambition, he was a secretary of the military department more than ten years ago, these years of hard work in the border area, and now he is called to return to the court, if he is still a secretary of the military department, it is really succumbed to his hometown in Shanxi. Only a member of the Cabinet can be commensurate with his merits and abilities, although he is not a Cabinet scholar, and it is customary not to be in the Cabinet, but there are many exceptions in history...... Not to mention far away, there are Zhang Xuan and Xia Yan in this dynasty, who entered the cabinet with great merit. The latter, in particular, became a university scholar through Tingtui. Yang Bo is far more than Xia Yan at the beginning, no matter what he does. And when he faced the saint, Jiajing also revealed that he was ready to make an exception to let him enter the cabinet, so he felt very sure, and when he came back recently, he has been in full swing with his old friends, and strive to complete the breakthrough in one fell swoop.
Seeing that the court was about to push this month, the emperor was critically ill at this time, which was very bad for Yang Bo. If you don't enter the court before the new monarch ascends the throne, you will be crowded with those people in King Yu's palace, and then the hope will be much smaller.
He didn't move his head at all, only looked at Guo Pu and Gao Gong on the right side with his peripheral vision, and he sighed secretly: "It seems that I have to have a good talk with these two." But he was ready for the emperor's drive.
And although Guo Pu and Gao Gong had a straight face, they looked much calmer. Although Guo Pu has an upright temperament, but he can be a scholar, which one is not bright-eyed and right-minded? So as soon as Gao Gong stretched out his hand, he held it tightly, became an ally with this fellow countryman, and boarded Yuwang's new ship. Seeing that the old ship is about to sink and the new ship is about to sail into the sea, what reason does he have to be unhappy?
Gao Gong's mind is much more complicated, a few days ago, Xu Jie talked to him, saying that he hoped to recommend him to the cabinet, of course it is a good thing to be able to enter the cabinet, but the rules in the officialdom are that you don't owe favors, and you must pay back if you owe. Last year's exam, when I was the main exam, I was almost driven back to my hometown by Jiajing because of the emperor's mistake in the exam. However, he is not grateful to Xu Jie, because it is not a big deal, it is a big deal to go home and rest for a few days, and after King Yu ascends the throne, he will not come back?
But others don't look at it this way, and they all think that he Gao Xinzheng owes him Xu Huating's favor.
As soon as he thought of this, Gao Gong was tired from the bottom of his heart, and he owed others affection, but why was it Xu Jie's? In fact, he and Xu Jie have no personal enmity, but there is a world of difference in political opinions, which is amazing. Gao Gong couldn't get used to Xu Jie's position, but he was cautious and did nothing. If it was a peaceful and prosperous era, it would have been fine, but now the country is in danger and terminally ill. Only drastic reforms can bring a glimmer of life. Xu Jie's corpse is vegetarian and inactive, which is the biggest misunderstanding of the country. Therefore, Gao Gong was very dissatisfied with Xu Jie, and often said in private that sooner or later he would replace the old and decrepit, and let him see what the first assistant should do.
Now, Xu Jie said that he would recommend him to the cabinet, for others, what he couldn't ask for, Gao Gong was unwilling to agree, because he was the teacher of the future Son of Heaven, and the day when King Yu ascended the throne would not be too far away, and the first assistant of the cabinet would not be able to run away, so why rush at this time. Besides, he is insignificant in Jiajing's eyes, and now that he has gone to the cabinet, he has not become Xu Jie's servant? You can't do anything, but you have to be angry with birds, and it's not cost-effective to think about it.
But in the world, you can't just make money and not lose money, sometimes you know that it's a fire pit, and you have to jump into it, who makes yourself owe? Xu Jie's words have been spoken, if he doesn't agree, in the eyes of others, he will not pay it back, and he will not be in the world, so how will he mix it up in the future? But what if you say yes? I owe him a favor again, how can I turn over and be the master in this life? It's really distressingly tight.
Now Jiajing seems to be dying, and he is most looking forward to this moment, because as long as Jiajing dies, the new monarch ascends the throne, and it is logical for him to enter the cabinet, I am afraid that Xu Jie is embarrassed to think that he owes others favors, right?
So he was eagerly looking forward to Jiajing's burp, worshipping all the gods and Buddhas in his heart, and asking God to pick up his son to reunite.
As for the other ministers, except for the followers of Shangshu and a few people, they are purely playing soy sauce, although they are also anxious and afraid, but they are not as serious as them. Li Chunfang is an exception, although it is rumored that he may also enter the cabinet, but whether he enters or not, it can't change his embarrassing position of accompanying the prince to study, so he is not as concerned as Yang Bo and them, the reason why he doesn't want Jiajing to die is very simple, he just doesn't want to leave a stain on his perfect life - if later generations say that because Li Chunfang has not argued with others, the emperor will be angry to death, it will be too shameless......
If Jiajing knew what his ministers were thinking at the moment, he would definitely be able to wake up directly from anger and then strangle them to death one by one......
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Coming out of the Sanqing Palace, Xu Jie, and the others waited in the duty room outside the dormitory. waited from the afternoon to the middle of the moon, and it was long untenable...... More than a dozen people sat in a small room, with a sore back and dizzy eyes from hunger, but the emperor's life and death were uncertain, how could he be in the mood to eat as a courtier...... Although many people may not be in the mood, as a minister, everything must be as good as possible, not only can not be a grain of rice, but even water cannot be drunk.
Xu was dizzy from hunger, and Gao Gong suddenly asked if he invited King Yu into the palace...... immediately attracted a strange gaze, and said in his heart that he had not robbed him, why did he commit such a big taboo?
Gao Gong knew that he was speechless, but he didn't want to lose face, so he remedied: "I think that I have a son to serve the sick, and I can feel better as a father." "It's still on the pitch. Xu Jie nodded slightly and said, "That's right...... But please will. ”
Gao Gongxin said, isn't this the same as not saying it? But he also knew that at the sensitive moment, he said a lot of mistakes, so he simply never mentioned it.
The atmosphere was strange for a long time, and on the third watch, Li Shizhen's tired figure finally appeared, and all the ministers got up and walked forward in unison, and walked a few steps before remembering the humility, and hurriedly slowed down and let Xu Ge Lao walk in front.
"How?" Xu Jie stepped forward quickly and grabbed Li Shizhen's hands.
"I tried my best...... Li Shizhen sighed deeply, "but the emperor still hasn't woken up......"
Suddenly, all kinds of expressions appeared on everyone's faces, such as mourning, relieved, falling into the abyss, being amnesty, and being an ordinary man......
