Chapter 765: The Great Limit (Part II)

Chapter 765 (Medium)

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

Xu is the lesson of the former Song Dynasty's forbearance and tiger cultivation is too profound, so this dynasty will never take the initiative to negotiate peace.

But hard gas requires capital, and if you don't have capital, you are blind and hard, which is a swollen face and a fat man.

As a result, the Mongol cavalry often won more with less, establishing a huge psychological advantage, and then completely grasped the initiative on the battlefield. The sad thing is that the old men in Beijing prefer to be this kind of fat man, but the generals at the border can't do it, because it is not only as simple as being slapped in the face, but also killing people......

Sometimes I can't fight anymore and have to take the initiative to make peace. However, the lord of Beijing refused to agree, and had no choice but to negotiate with the Mongols behind their backs, squeeze out money from the military spending, loot the common people, and pay tribute to the Mongols, in order to stop the war against the Ningren.

Putting aside those senseless 'national honor', this is not a bad solution, because the Mongols have long had no ambition and strength to invade the Central Plains, and their war against the Ming Dynasty is more accurate than plundering...... The days of the grassland are too hard, there is a serious shortage of materials, except for cattle, horses and livestock, they lack everything, and it is relatively easy to satisfy, so there is no harm in using money to solve the problem......

This is a well-known secret in the border generals and the imperial court, of course, there is a gentleman who must be kept in the dark, that is, His Majesty the Emperor, otherwise how can everyone lie about his military exploits and get promoted and make a fortune?

Speaking of which, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty is also quite pitiful, so many people have partnered to play him, no wonder he will pull the eunuch to help.

To get back to the point, Yang Bo has been in the Nine Sides for twenty years, so he is naturally a master of this way. What's more, he also has an advantage, he is the officialdom of the Shanxi people, Optimus Prime, and the Jin merchants monopolize all the foreign trade in the nine sides, and almost all the Mongolian nobles are their big customers...... So what others can't talk about when they smash pots and sell iron, he can always do it easily.

Knowing this, and then recalling the sentence 'Yang Wei is about in Liao, Xuan, and the three sides, then the thistle, Liao, and the three sides are safe, and in the military department, the nine sides are safe', you should have a deeper understanding...... It's like last year, with some old goods that have been stored for more than ten years, you can send me away, which is not possible for anyone.

But he never imagined that his purely well-intentioned actions would be shamelessly used by the beneficiaries to bury his cabinet path......

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After six days and five nights in a coma, the emperor finally woke up, but the dragon's body was completely struck, except for the nose panting, only the eyes and mouth could move. Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty, who was invincible in the past, was like a piece of dead wood, quietly waiting there to die.

But don't underestimate this dying body, as long as he is still panting, he is still the most powerful emperor in the Ming Dynasty in a hundred years.

Therefore, when Xu Jie reported the results of the court push, he was still cautious and respectful.

After Xu Jie finished speaking, Jiajing's eyes rolled, his lips moved, and he said vaguely: "Zhang ......" The emperor has just woken up from a coma, and he can't speak well.

Thanks to Xu Jie, who understands people and understands Jiajing's meaning, he said, "You are asking Zhang Juzheng what is going on, right?"

Jiajing blinked, indicating that it was right...... The emperor's reaction was completely unexpected by Xu Jie, because Zhang Ju was his beloved apprentice, which even the emperor knew, and he praised him in front of Jiajing for how smart and skilled he was. So after hearing about Zhang Juzheng's rare encounter, Jiajing must be very curious.

So according to Zhang Juzheng's explanation of the matter, he made it clear.

"What's the use?" Jiajing said a lot of words this time.

"Probably...... ......Xu Jie hurriedly explained to Jiajing: "At that time, the situation was urgent, and he was probably afraid that the imperial court's decision-making would be too slow and delay the business. ”

Jiajing's expression became ugly, and he squeezed out two words from between his teeth and said, "Qiu Luan......"

Xu Jiexin said, it's okay. Jiajing is extremely shrewd and rarely deceived, but because he doesn't understand military affairs, he was deceived by Qiu Luan by this means, and he was named a general. hated Jiajing so much that when everyone died, they had to open the coffin and kill the corpse, and the whole family was exiled.

Jiajing was originally afraid of the unfathomable Shanxi people, but he finally produced a long-tested, loyal and reliable Yang Bo, who can be regarded as the emperor's heart. In order to avoid Xu Jie's family being dominant in the future, he bullied his son. Jiajing was reluctant to make it difficult, and was ready to promote Yang Bo and restrain Xu Jie.

But as soon as he thought of the deceitful and unscrupulous Qiu Luan, Jiajing's evaluation of Yang Bo immediately dropped by two notches, and he directly became disloyal, brave and unreliable.

If that's all, it's not enough for the emperor to dispel his thoughts, because without Yang Bo, who will check and balance Xu Jie? At this time, two other names came into view - Gao Gong and Guo Pu. The emperor couldn't help but light up in his eyes, neither of these two was Xu Jie's opponent, but if they were tied together, Xu Jie couldn't help it, not to mention that Gao Gong was still his son's teacher, and in the future, he would have a gold medal for avoiding death, and one person would be enough for Lao Xu to drink a pot.

This is the real purpose of Xu Jie's push of Gao Gong and Guo Pu's entry into the cabinet, that is, to remove the real threat at the same time, so that the emperor can rest assured that he will not be suspicious.

The Sacred Heart has an idea, since there is a duo of Gao Guo, it doesn't matter if Yang Bo enters the cabinet or not.

"What do you think?" Jiajing's speech became smoother and smoother.

"The selection of the cabinet is a matter of great importance, and if your subordinates dare to speak out, please ask Your Majesty to make a judgment." Xu Jie replied in a sincere tone.

"Then let Li Chunfang go up, Yang Bo will wait a little longer......" Jiajing made a decision.

Xu Jie's heart was at ease. Quietly achieved the goal, and he really didn't see the wrong person. However, Jiajing did not pursue Yang Bo and Zhang Juzheng again...... At this point, the emperor has really changed.

Seeing that the emperor closed his eyes and seemed to take a nap, Xu Jie bowed down and retreated, who knew that he had just taken two steps back, and heard the emperor say dreamily: "Is Hai Rui convicted?" ”

"Not yet," Xu Jie hurriedly replied: "The Three Law Divisions are discussing it quickly, and there will be results soon." He waited with his ears on his back for a while, but he didn't hear any movement, and this time the emperor was really asleep......

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Time flies, and a few days have passed in the blink of an eye......

In the solemn and solemn Shengshou Palace, there is a beautiful sound of the piano. The sound of the piano is sometimes like a breeze blowing through the mountains and forests, sometimes like a stream flowing, sometimes like a yellow bird dancing happily, sometimes like moonlight sprinkled all over the earth. No one could hear what kind of music it was, but they all felt immersed in it physically and mentally, and it was indescribably pleasant.

This song should only be heard in heaven, and it should be heard a few times in the world. Jiajing said this from his heart, and then closed his eyes again, but his mind floated out of his rotten wood-like body with the sound of the piano, and floated to the high mountain, among the flowing waters......

It turned out that seeing that the emperor couldn't move, Huang Jin was distressed, so he proposed: "Master, Princess Yu sent everyone who played the piano over, saying that her piano skills have entered the Tao, and listening to it can warm her mind and forget all her troubles" Seeing that Jiajing was silent, he whispered again: "It's always a piece of filial piety for children, even if it's not so godly, it's always okay to relieve boredom............

Jiajing let out a burst of air from his nostrils, which was considered acquiescence.

Huang Jin sent the violinist over, and specially set up a sandalwood platform outside the veil, and asked her to start playing.

The effect of the sound of the piano was unexpectedly good, and the overgrown emperor's heart was combed and ironed by the heavenly sound of the piano. Although he still couldn't move, Jiajing's mind was completely clear, and he had never even been so sober. In the melodious sound of the piano, his memory was surprisingly clear. began to recall his life, from his childhood in Anlu, to the years when he was the emperor, and finally stopped at the debate between the three princes and the Huai, and stopped at Hai Rui's recital. Then I started thinking, desperately thinking...... I figured out all the problems that I couldn't figure out in my life.

You have to wait until you don't need it to give you what you once lacked the most.

Seeing that Jiajing was in a daze, Huang Jin thought that he was tired of listening to the qin, so he said: "Let's change to Kunqu Opera, the team brought out by Wei Liangfu ......"

"Nian ......," Jiajing said.

"Read what?"

"Neglecting ...... security"

"Huh?" Huang Jin was surprised, and said in his heart what are you doing with that thing, does the emperor want to commit suicide in a novel way?

"Nian ......" Jiajing's voice became impatient.

"Okay, read ......" Huang Jin hurriedly went to the table to find it, and it was really there, so he unfolded it, and read softly to the accompaniment of the piano: "Hai Rui, the minister of the Yunnan Qing Dynasty of the Ministry of Households, is respectful: In order to speak bluntly about the first thing in the world, with the righteousness of the monarch and the position of the minister, seek the ...... of peace and security for all generations."

"Louder......" Jiajing said unhappily: "Fall asleep......"

"The monarch, the lord of all things among the subjects of the world. However, he is the lord of all things in the world, and the responsibility is heavy, and the livelihood of the people is beneficial, and he will not know anything and act without knowing it, and he will not be able to do it...... "Huang Jin had to read it out loud: "The minister is favored by the country, please adhere to the righteousness of committing no hidden crime." Beauty is beautiful, not a little false beauty; It has been said that it has not been violated in the slightest. It's not pleased, but it's not calculated, and it's ...... for Your Majesty."

Jiajing listened very seriously, this was the first time he unloaded the pride and arrogance of the emperor, and really listened to the words of a loyal minister, so he felt so reasonable, so he listened to it over and over again, the more he listened, the more he didn't feel harsh, and the more he listened, the more he felt it, all of which were sincere words from the heart and lungs

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Xu Jie came to the outside of the dormitory and heard Huang Jin inside read aloud the fateful recital. I couldn't help but chuckle in my heart, secretly saying What's wrong? Could it be that such a big resentment is paralyzed and can't let go?

I hurriedly walked in...... Because he was moved by his undressed service these days, Jiajing authorized Xu Jie to enter the palace at any time without notifying. Of course, the beaded curtain that once stood between the monarch and the minister was no longer an obstacle for him.

After entering the dormitory, the palace people whispered: "Old Xu Ge is here......

"The monarch is not right, the position of the minister is unknown, and the first thing in the world is also. Nothing more, nothing more!" Without the emperor's instructions, Huang Jin had no choice but to continue reading, but he sped up and inadvertently became sonorous: "The minister holds the Lu and the outside is the fool, the minister is afraid of the crime and the face is obedient, Your Majesty is sincere to change the behavior without knowing it, and the minister hates it." It is to die and exhaust for His Majesty in a word. One is easy to turn around, and the rule of the world and the rule of the world, the peace and unrest of the people and things, are decisive. Your Majesty Fu Wei is careful, the sect is very fortunate, and the world is very fortunate......"

Jiajing still looked at the top of the hall with his eyes, in a daze. Xu Jie waited for a long time before he heard the emperor sigh faintly and said: "This person's loyalty is comparable to that of a cadre, and my mediocrity is also comparable to that of the king of Xu."

Xu Jie was stunned, he never thought that the emperor could say such a thing, so he was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly replied: "The Ming Dynasty has no better than Gan, let alone the king, the emperor is sick, so he will feel sorry for himself." ”

"Pavilion ......" Jiajing was silent for a long time, and this voice was very sad.

"The minister is here." Xu Jie hurriedly stepped forward, and in order not to let the emperor look up to him, he knelt at Jiajing's feet, just at eye level with Jiajing.

Jiajing looked at him, his eyes were completely devoid of the gloomy and unfathomable of the past, and only a piece of desolation and sadness remained: "On the day of Sangonghuai, I knew that Hai Rui was right, everyone in the world has been disgusted with me for a long time, and I, the emperor, have indeed done a very bad job." After a short pause, Fang continued: "Alas, I have made so many mistakes, why has no one been as outspoken as Hai Rui for so many years?" But I don't want to think about it, Hai Rui is the best product that has only been produced in hundreds of years.

Although he was full of power and scheming, at this moment, Xu Jie could clearly feel that this was the true words of the monarch's father, and he really wanted to say what was in his heart, but he didn't know if the emperor would turn his face afterwards, so when the words came to his mouth, he still left seven points: "The political affairs of a country are complicated, and the saint cannot help but make mistakes, and besides, the emperor takes care of Kyushu and Wanfang, and has his own emperor's difficulties." Besides, it is more that the ministers have not fulfilled their responsibilities, how can they blame the king? ”

Jiajing looked at Xu Jie with a complicated expression, and then said softly: "I'm sorry for you." ”

Even though a heart has long been insensitive in decades of struggle, Xu Jie was still hit by the emperor's simple four words, hitting the most aggrieved place in his heart, tears wet his eyes, and he heard the emperor say: "You are not easy than Yan Song, I know that I am a difficult lord to serve, as long as he serves me well, you still have to take care of the officials and the people of my country......"

Hearing the emperor's praise for himself, Xu Jie's tears finally couldn't help but gush out, and he took a deep breath and said: "Weichen only knows the words 'sincerity' and 'respect', but he just does it with these two words." ”

Jiajing nodded with satisfaction and asked, "That Hai Rui, is the three law divisions guilty?" ”

"It's over." Xu Jie hurriedly wiped away his tears, and his heart, which was confused by the emperor, also calmed down and said: "I was about to report to the emperor, and the three law divisions were finally hanged." ”

"What charges?" Jiajing asked again.

"The son scolded the father." Xu Jie said softly. This crime was decided by him after careful consideration. has come to this point, Hai Rui has to be indispensable. But it can't be blatantly guaranteed. He knows Jiajing's mind too well, one thing, the emperor can do, but he must not give people the impression that he is forced to do it by his subordinates. That will definitely arouse Jiajing's rebellious mentality.

Therefore, if there are many intercessors for Hai Rui, Hai Rui will definitely die. But if everyone in the world thinks that Hai Jui deserves to die, and the three law divisions are also condemned to death, and the favor comes from above, the emperor is likely not to kill Hai Jui.

To die is to die, and to die is not to die. Xu Jie is very clear, but he can't help but express the attitude of his subordinates, otherwise Jiajing will think that the ministers are duplicitous and hypocritical, maybe they will be angry and hook Hai Rui. Anger is unpredictable and fickle, this is the first difficult to serve the master of the Ming Dynasty, and the most difficult place to serve.

Fortunately, Xu Jie had already touched the emperor too thoroughly, so he came up with a brilliant trick - to sentence his son to death by hanging on the charge of insulting his father. Whether to kill the son or not is just a word from the father.

This not only allowed Jiajing to advance and retreat freely, but also expressed the thoughts of the ministers, which was really well-intentioned.

Knowing that this was Xu Jie's attitude, Jiajing asked again, "What do you think?" ”

Xu Jie was going to say: 'Minister, this is also the view', but the plan is not as fast as the change, he saw the change in Jiajing, of course the plan will also change, and sighed lightly: "The minister originally had this view, but today I talked to the emperor, and suddenly thought that if Hai Rui is really killed, the minister is afraid that future generations will not know the truth, and there will be misunderstandings......"

Hearing that he didn't say empty words, Jiajing nodded, and listened to Xu Jie's continuation: "Guanhai Ruiqi is a person, born in a barbaric place, he doesn't understand etiquette, his mouth stinks very much, and he writes articles even more, but his heart is still sincere. Of course, this kind of person can be killed, but it is not ......"

"Is that killing or not killing?" Jiajing looked at him fixedly and said, "You have the final say." ”

"There is a saying: 'The Lord is upright.' Out of the direct minister, it means that the emperor is a saint. Xu Jieyi gritted his teeth and kowtowed: "Your Majesty's holiness is like heaven and earth, heaven does not tolerate it, and the sacred heart can tolerate it; Allow heaven to tolerate, and then see the greatness of the Sacred Heart"

"Hehehe......" Jiajing laughed, his smile was full of relief: "Finally tell the truth, it's not easy for the elder of the pavilion......" The emperor smiled weakly: "How good it is to tell the truth, let me know the true opinion of the subjects of the world, how can I be wrong to the end?" He smiled helplessly: "Now I know, but I am terminally ill and can't do anything about it......"

Xu Jie was surprised and moved again - if he was still worried about whether the emperor was tempting, now he really knows that the emperor has really repented. Choked up and said, "Your Majesty, you can recuperate with peace of mind, and wait for the Holy Bow to recover." Cheer up again, you can make soup for Yao Shunyu......" said that he couldn't cry silently, God, it turns out that the stubborn stone also has a day of repentance, but why did it come so late?

"There's no time, how do you cheer up?" Jiajing blinked weakly and said: "My time has come, I may go down at any time, if you want to cheer up, you can only rely on my son......"

"Your Majesty ......" Xu Jie raised his head, and was about to speak, but he heard Jiajing say: "Don't worry, I won't say Zen anymore, it's only a few days away, so don't let him bear the burden." "Today may be the most sensible day in Jiajing's life.

"Your Majesty ......" Xu Jie, who was completely moved, now really wanted the emperor to enjoy the last family happiness, so he said: "The minister begs for permission and orders King Yu to bring his son into the palace to serve the sick." "I definitely want to have my children and grandchildren by my side to spend my last days.

A burst of longing appeared on Jiajing's face, that kind of loneliness deep in his heart, far beyond ordinary people, how much he needed his relatives to comfort him Just when Xu Jieman thought he would agree, he saw the emperor slowly close his eyes and said, "No......"

"Why?" Xu Jie was shocked and was rude.

"The two dragons don't see each other." Jiajing said in a weak voice: "This is my life, I can't let them risk it......"

Xu Jiedeng was stunned on the spot-

Partition -

Send an extra 400 words.

Another ten thousand. It's so late again, it's hard to fight this month, and I need encouragement from a monthly pass
