Chapter 662: The Emperor Wants to Tour the South
One one. Mouth. Mouth. Mouth.
On the Chinese New Year's Eve of the 41st year of Jiajing, the sound of firecrackers said goodbye to the old year.
In the palace of King Yu, the lanterns were colorful, the ceremonial flowers bloomed, and the palace people were full of laughter, from the big eunuchs like Meng Chong and Feng Bao who usually looked down on each other, to the ordinary eunuchs and palace maids, all with reserved or bright smiles on their faces. In a word, everyone is really happy today.
The people are happy, no wonder because the New Year has issued double the reward silver, and there are three days of vacation, which is a good thing that King Yu has never had in the ten years since he opened the mansion; Meng Chong and Feng Bao have more reasons to be happy, the current situation is very good. As long as the prince can give birth to a son, the throne will not be far from ten; The prince is mighty, and he already has three big-bellied concubines, so I don't believe that there is no one with a handle among the three? When the time comes, they, the eunuchs of the royal palace who are standing aside, can ask for chickens and dogs to ascend to heaven, at least they can be the head of the real power yamen, even if it is not a dream to become a celebrant eunuch.
But in the palace flower hall, it is solemn. Originally, Yuwang invited the teachers to spend the Spring Festival together, and everyone was rarely relaxed, and they were all very interested. But a sudden news brought this joyful atmosphere to an abrupt end, and several masters looked at each other, making King Yu, who was shaking a loose child, feel restrained.
He put down his marrow and asked in a low voice, "Master, what's wrong?" Why didn't you speak all at once? β
A few people looked at each other, and still said from Gao Gong: "Lord, the emperor's southern tour is not trivial."
"Father is just thinking quietly, right? King Yu understood Jiajing very well and said: "Since I can remember, my father has never been out of the capital, and he must be broken." After a pause, he whispered, "Of course." I've never been out of Beijing either
When Gao Gong and the others heard this, they didn't know what the prince was thinking all day, so they had to exclude him from the discussion circle.
"Why is it so good, suddenly going to tour the south?" Chen Yiqin looked puzzled and said: "This matter is so strange, he looked at Shen Mo and said, "Shen Chaoren, what do you say is going on?" Since the Xiangrui Qilin incident, Chen Yiqin has been silent in his heart, but he always habitually carries some provocations in his mouth.
"Too little is known". Shen Mo shook his head and said, "I can't judge for a while, so I looked at Zhang Juzheng and said: "Brother Taiyue, your intuition is the best, why don't you guess it for everyone?"
"I think it has something to do with the emperor's collection of magic books some time ago" Zhang Juzheng said slowly: "I heard that the last Fang Shi named Xiong Xian confused the emperor's heart with rhetoric, and it was this person who made it wrong." "It's good to have a prime minister, and it's good to guess everything.
"Yes, yes," Chen Yiqin said suddenly: "I also heard that the Fang Shi said that he was the reincarnation of Shuxian, and the emperor was the reincarnation of the emperor's camp
"Isn't this nonsense?" Gao Gong frowned and said: "What emperor camp and uncle envy, they are all people who have been dead for thousands of years, and their souls have turned to ashes, and ghosts believe it."
The emperor will definitely believe it, and then he said: "Let everyone say this, I feel that this southern tour is a foregone conclusion."
"What?. Everyone was stunned and said: "The hundred officials haven't advised yet, you made an assertion so early?"
"For us, this is the news that the Internet knows" said silently: "But for the emperor, he has already thought about it for a long time, and he will let it out for us to know." After a pause, he said in a low voice: "Think about it, that's the reputation of one of the five emperors!" Brother Taiyue, from this point alone, that Xiong Xian is better than you. β
"What about Emperor Xue?" Having said that, everyone still used their brains and pondered carefully.
"I see!" Zhang Juzheng, who is still used to writing about horses, reacted quickly and said: "Emperor Yu is the great-grandson of the Yellow Emperor and the nephew of the jaw death, but he inherited the throne of the jaw death."
Let him say this, everyone understands, Chen Yiqin said: "Your Majesty must love this kind of statement."
Yin Shizhan nodded and said: "Yes, in this way, the emperor inherited the unification of Emperor Xiaozongjing, and it is even more justifiable."
I'm afraid it's more than that, Shen Mo said softly: "This matter may affect the court situation."
"Yes, the emperor's visit is very important." Everyone nodded, "It will indeed bring a lot of changes." β
In fact, none of them understood the meaning of silence, but this matter could not be said in too much detail, and he did not say much.

As soon as the news of the emperor's southern tour was stirred, I don't know how many officials could not eat the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and the ministers played a chapter overnight to express their attitude. Ten of them were resolutely opposed to the emperor's patrol.
No matter what the faction is, what kind of position he stands, in the matter of the emperor's southern tour, the attitude is surprisingly consistent, that is, I will never agree to know that this time is not more than a few hundred years later, from Beijing to Huguang at the fastest time also takes two months, not to mention the emperor's travel, how many miles a day are set rules, plus stop here, look there, visit the great rivers and mountains of Zigong, enjoy the scenic spots in various places, it is good to be able to arrive in five months. It's impossible to come back right away when you get to the place, right? Rest, sightseeing, tea ceremony, at least two more months, so the most state, there is no emperor in the capital, the six directions are now southeast 8 disasters, has not yet subsided; In case of an emergency and turmoil, you are not at home, won't you delay the major events of the country? !
The ministers wrote a letter of exhortation, although the General Administration Department is not working now, and it cannot be sent through official channels, and some of the older and high-ranking officials will put it aside for the first time and wait for the yamen to resume work; However, some young and vigorous young officials who were excited by this year's wide opening could not wait for the end of the New Year, so they came to the gate of Xiyuan and directly delivered the recitals in the Kouge.
The eunuchs did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly went to Wanshou Palace to ask Emperor Jiajing, "The emperor's dormitory that burned down at the beginning of the year, under the supervision of Xu Jie, used the silver copied from Yan Shifan's house. It was finally built before the snow fell without delaying the emperor's stay.
Looking at the palace that was almost exactly the same as before, Jiajing Longyan was happy, and ordered the addition of Xu Jie's young master and young master, and promoted Xu Bo, the director of engineering, to the right attendant of the Ministry of Works, as a sign of praise. And the old name is "Yuxi Palace." The change to "Wanshou Palace" can be seen in its mood and pursuit.
The emperor let out the wind yesterday, just to see what kind of attitude the ministers had towards their southern tour, and I didn't expect that it was only the second day of the Lunar New Year, and those ignorant guys ran to the palace gate to read books, obviously not having a good attitude.
Jiajing impatiently ordered: "Bring in the music and let them get out of here, this husband will celebrate the New Year, can't he let Lian be quiet for two days?" βγ
The eunuchs hurried out to deliver the decree, and after a short time they came back with a few stacks of concertos, and the emperor asked, "Are they all gone?" β
Huang Jin, who was in the lead, shook his head lightly and whispered, "Your Majesty, none of them left."
"Why?" Jiajing pulled down his face at that time and said, "Do they want to resist the decree?" β
"Back to the master". Huang Jin swallowed: "They said
"Say what?" Jiajing said impatiently.
"They said they would wait for your reply," Huang Jin whispered.
"Then wait!" Jiajing had a dark face, and he didn't look at those pieces, so he went to the side hall to practice with Xiong Xian.
After half a day, the emperor turned back to the fine house and looked at Huang Jindao: "Still kneeling?" β
"Yes, the master Huang Jin replied softly. Li Fang, who was on the side, worried: "In this New Year, the water is dripping into ice, and the scholars are weak, but they are all frozen." In case there are three long and two short, it will be too unlucky. β
When these words came to Jiajing's ears, he frowned and scolded: "I keep saying to Jun Yaoshun all day long, is this to Jun Yaoshun?" I think it's to you." But I still sat back on my futon and picked up the piece and read it.
I saw that it was written: "The minister knows that His Majesty is alone, and the sect is relied on, although the wind has heard about the southern tour, it may not be implemented, but the wind is empty, and it shakes from far and near." Kyoshi is uneasy. Therefore, the minister dared to speak and clarify the message, so as to correct the public"
"I thought that the holy driver was fired, and there were more than a thousand horsemen, and there were more than 10,000 servants; After passing through the place, stationed in the premises, the jade silk treasures and shameful things, the cost is more than tens of thousands. The counties are not able to lose the luck of the gods, and they are bound to include the people, calling out, the chickens and dogs are shocked, and the supply is a little funny, and the whipping is painful. Your Majesty is merciful, and you can't bear to see your people suffer hardship, so the southern tour must be a rumor.
"It's not just that, if the court is born, the people will have a lot of disadvantages. Your Majesty drove out of the capital, and the people of Jiang and Xi were trapped first; When His Majesty drove to Jinling, the people of Fujian and Guangzhou were exhausted first. Knowing that the public opinion may not come to this point, there are divisions to use the science faction, and the disciples to do nothing, the officials are greedy, and the officials are deceitful. On the day of Chengping, it is still impossible, but when the thieves and thieves attack and rob Xu, the wells and mounds, the villages are full of embers, from Jinnei, Shandong, Henan, Hanyang, Jiangnan, and Lingbiao, scorched earth everywhere, and crises everywhere. Fortunately, thanks to the gods of the nine temples, the group of murderers was annihilated. However, the material resources are exhausted, the vitality is exhausted, and it is appropriate to bend and caress it, and it is still afraid of the undecided, how can it be diligent to nourish the fear of the people? Therefore, the theory of the southern tour must be a rumor.
The meaning of these two paragraphs is that when the emperor goes out, he will inevitably be dispatched by ten thousand times, and the world will be troubled. Choosing the guards and guards, the officers and soldiers, raising money and food for the husbands and horses, preparing all kinds of royal things, building palaces and palaces, and building roads and bridges, which one must not cost a lot of money? Shall you not drive the servants? Fang Jin's country is a little settled, the people's livelihood is tired, Taicang is lacking, it is the time to tighten your belt to live, are you embarrassed to squander the treasury silver?
"The minister still didn't say it deeply. In the past, the Qin Emperor destroyed the Six Kingdoms, but the Huns, and the shock was desolate, and the Bolang Sha was inevitably hit by the deputy car. Although His Majesty's every move, the gods take care of him, there is no other danger, and the people's hearts are unbearable, the kindness has not been enjoyed, and under the resoluteness of the boats and cars, there is no one who harbors evil intentions? Fang Jin has a bad heart, looks down on the artifact, and serves the end of the court as a happy relative, every time he is not far away, the son of a daughter can't sit in the hall, let alone His Majesty.
It means that the emperor is concerned about the safety of the world, so he should stay in the well-guarded palace honestly, and run so far away, even if he arranges guards for you, it is impossible to not even fly in like in Beijing. There is always a mistake in Baimi, in case there is a villain plotting against him, but it is too dangerous.
Jiajing endured his anger and read it, turned to the cover and saw the name, it was Lu Zhensheng in the Ministry of Rites. They snorted, put the piece aside, and he read a few books in a row, basically the same tone, Huayi fresh, is the imperial doctor Sun Hezhen of the Tai Hospital, a young imperial doctor, ingenious with the way of medicine to admonish the emperor: "Maintain the body, and, still sign the candle, the room is closed!" It is strong, and the storm point is the tears of the six majesty The dragon body is newly healed. Ganzhen will raise, travel far away, brave the cold and heat, wade the river, eat and drink, have no choice for fins, and are not healthy. In addition, the south is green and wet, which is especially prone to disease. Beg for the weight of the temple community, don't do anything to saddle a horse, don't travel far, just the safety of the secret room, and the disaster of the storm. The minister is overwhelmed.
After reading this, Jiajing finally couldn't help but get angry, violently overturned the music in front of him, and said angrily to the eunuchs: "Look at what they said, it seems that Lian is the Emperor of Sui Yan who does not have national strength, and the king of Shang who does not care for the people." As he spoke, an indignant expression appeared on his face and said: "Lian Secluded Living in this deep palace and not leaving the capital for more than 20 years, isn't he afraid of spending too much and disturbing the people?" Now that I am old, I want to take another look at the splendid country of my Ming Dynasty before I can't move, and go to worship the emperor and the emperor again, is this wish too much? .
The eunuchs all walked towards the emperor, and when they heard this, they naturally shook their heads again and again: "It's not too much, of course, it's not too much, Chen Hong, who rushed to hear the news, said: "The world is the master, and besides, you don't go out often, and occasionally visit Kyushu, and the people have to see the sky, and it's too late to be happy." After a pause, he said: "This is like ordinary people entertaining guests, if you set up a banquet all day long, you will naturally be unbearable, but you only come once during the New Year's Festival, and no one will smash the pot and sell iron."
Jiajing snorted thoughtfully, and Chen Hong added fuel and vinegar when he saw this: "These nerds can't figure out the situation and advise indiscriminately, not for the common people at all, but just to get a straight name for themselves!" β
Hearing the four words, the green tendons on Jiajing's forehead jumped a few times, obviously evoked unpleasant memories, and shouted to Chen Hong: "You go outside the palace gate now, give those people who sell their fame and reputation an ultimatum, let them disappear, and after half an hour, whoever dares to stay and not leave, will be arrested by Lianlian!" Jiajing has experience in this area, and added: "Write down their names first."
Chen Hong received the holy oracle, and with more than 200 Dongchang fans, he came to the palace gate with great momentum.
When the ministers saw that the palace door was easy to open, but it was people from Dongchang who came out, they couldn't help but feel a little uneasy; Seeing that Chen Hong began to roll out one by one, he was even more panicked, and many people ate it, which made Chen Hong secretly disdainful, and said in his heart: "If you don't have the iron courage of those people in Yang Sheng'an, don't learn from others to block the door."
After writing down everyone's names, Chen Hongxin said, I will work harder to completely get them down, so he cleared his throat and said, "Wait for you!" Saint! Instruct! β
Everyone's bodies were already numb, and when they heard this, they knelt down with little confidence: "The ministers respectfully ask for Saint An."
"Holy bow" Chen Hong said coldly: "The emperor said to Chen Hong: "You go to the palace gate now, give an ultimatum to those who sell their fame and reputation, and let them disappear in a hurry. After speaking, he looked at the faces of more than 100 people, and sure enough, all of them were pale, obviously frightened. He sneered and said, "If you don't want to live the rest of your life and not be able to take care of yourself, just hurry up, the emperor's patience is limited."
He felt that after Mao finished speaking. He should have been scared off half, but the truth shocked him, and more than a hundred people didn't leave.
Chen Hong couldn't help but wonder: "What are you still doing stiffly?" Why can't you afford to eat at home, and you want to go to the edict to eat for free?. After a few more questions, the officials were silent, apparently refusing to communicate with him.
He is not a man, nor is he human, and he can never understand that for men, face is the most important, and for scholars, dignity is higher than the sky. His arrogant remarks made these young officials angry in their hearts, and they could not get off the stage: "If they just slip away like this, they will be able to sit down on the original act of the "fame and reputation seekers" to serve the country today, and it will become a funny and ugly drama, which is absolutely unacceptable to them.
"Light the incense!" Chen Hong's face couldn't hold back. Gritted his teeth and said: "A stick stick burns out, if you don't leave, don't blame our family for being ruthless!" "The more he pressed, the more rebellious the young officials became, looking at the majestic vermilion palace gate in front of them, they remembered the ancestors of the righteous death festival in the past, and the name is still recited today, what a glorious roar it is."
"Kong said to be benevolent, Meng said to take righteousness, righteousness and death, just today" The young officials secretly cheered themselves up, a kind of thing called integrity that maintained the immortality of China for thousands of years, and it was reborn in the hearts of many people, this is a scene that will never appear when Yan Song was in power.
Of course, there are also those who want to sneak away, but they are pulled by the people on the side, and they say viciously: "Whoever dares to escape from the battle, everyone in the world will spurn it!" Even more violent, viciously threatened: "Whoever dares to go and kill him." Those cowards had no choice but to dispel the idea of escaping, and accompanied everyone to kneel in front of the gate of the West Garden, waiting for the incense to burn out.
The plot is unfolding rapidly.,,Last month's debt,I haven't forgotten.,This month's work hard to pay it back.γ It's too much to do."
