Chapter 580: Reaction
There is no impermeable wall in the world, and at the same time as silently returning to Beizhen Fusi, Emperor Jiajing woke up and released the news of colorful things, which also spread to many well-informed people in the capital...... In King Jing's mansion, King Jing, with a hideous face, was pacing anxiously in the house with his hands behind his back, and there were still some broken porcelain pieces on the ground, showing traces of venting. In fact, if it weren't for Yuan Wei's presence, he wouldn't know what to do.
Why is he so angry? Quite simply, hope is shattered...... If Emperor Jiajing didn't survive and collapsed directly, then King Yu would not be able to inherit the throne because he had no queen, and he would ...... Although he has only one son, he is not bald if he has hair, and he will inevitably be a great treasure, and he will be respected by facing the south!
So these days, King Jing has been praying sincerely that his father can finally taste his long-cherished wish and become an immortal this time...... In fact, it was not just him, the whole palace was filled with an atmosphere of excitement, looking forward to the moment when the chicken dog ascended to heaven, and the eunuch who was a good sycophant had prepared a full set of dragon robe crowns to present to King Jing.
King Jing liked this gift very much, although he didn't dare to come out in broad daylight, but in private, in the inner room, he didn't know how many times he tried it...... However, Shen Mo took Li Shizhen into the palace to treat the emperor and save Jiajing from endangerment; Referring to the fact that the two eunuchs were sent down at the same time, it is enough to prove that the emperor has regained his senses, and this ascension failed...... This news was like a basin of cold water poured on his head, which made King Jing's good dreams shattered, angry, and began to mess around at home, if Yuan Wei hadn't arrived in time, he wouldn't have done anything out of the ordinary.
Yuan Wei waved his hand, motioned for all the palace people to withdraw, and comforted: "Lord Wang, you can't do this!" ”
"This old immortal!" King Jing smacked fiercely and said, "It's a pleasure to make Lao Tzu happy!" ”
Yuan Wei changed color when he heard this: "Why do you talk like this? What a problem it would be if people heard it! He sighed and said, "This is not a son's attitude towards his father......"
"What son? Father? King Jing also consciously lost his words, but when he heard Yuan Wei's exclamation, he suddenly became angry and said: "Since I can remember, the number of times I have seen him, I can count it with one hand, and I never ignore or say anything to my children, and I don't name my grandson?" Is there such a father in the world......"
"Silence!" Yuan Wei's face changed, and he said anxiously: "Your Highness, this is not the same as before, you must beware of disasters coming out of your mouth!" As he spoke, he got up and pointed outside: "Originally, Lu Taibao was there, he was a benevolent person, even if there was anything, he was also in the spirit of calming people and not reporting it, so we can speak casually." But now that he is dead, Jinyiwei and Dongchang are hostile in a blink of an eye, and no one knows what they will do in order to compete for favor! ”
"Master is too careful, isn't he?" King Jing was already soft, but he still said stiffly: "In my inner palace, there are all confidants, and no one will betray me!" ”
"Alas, it's ......better to be careful," Yuan Wei said, "Factory guards have been operating the capital for more than 100 years, and no one knows how deep their roots and branches are. He lowered his voice and said, "Don't think that because they have not done well in the past few years, they have forgotten their terrible ...... When Weichen was young, he conspired with several imperial historians in the dark room to impeach the Yan Party. But the next day, when I met Lu Taibao, he greeted me with a smile and asked me, 'Did you drink last night?' Although more than ten years have passed, Yuan Wei still said with a scared face: "I was stunned, nodded blankly, and asked me if there was anyone who was the guest?" Isn't it a dish? The question was not bad in the slightest, and then said goodbye to me. I was so frightened that I canceled the book when I went back, and I didn't dare to participate in any rebellious action......"
King Jing was really frightened by him, and opened his mouth and stammered: "Then that...... I'll pay attention to that later. "The heart told them to get rid of the things that were in the way.
Seeing his repentant face, Yuan Wei thought that his persuasion had worked, so he was relieved: "The prince can be as good as a stream, and he will definitely be able to achieve great things in the future." "If you let him know that King Jing even wore a dragon robe in private, I don't know if he would be angry directly.
"So what now?" King Jing said: "My father is sick and can't visit, but now that he is cured, he can't pretend not to know." ”
"The prince is high," seeing that King Jing rarely said a human word, Yuan Wei was very pleased: "Please prepare a tonic, whether it is expensive or not is secondary, the key is that the heart is there, and then I will write a congratulatory note for you and submit it, and the emperor will be very happy to see it." ”
"The master wants to do it himself, that's great!" King Jing said happily when he heard this...... Many people who don't know the inside story think that Yan Song is the first sycophant master of the Ming Dynasty, but they don't know that the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and the front waves die on the beach.
Yuan Butang's fame is by no means wasted, to give a recent example, in February this year, Qintian reported an eclipse, because the emperor is the Son of Heaven, so all kinds of natural disasters are considered to be God's warning to the Son of Heaven, among which the eclipse of the moon is especially bad. It is believed that if the Son of Heaven is immoral, he will be eclipsed, and if the criminal law is chaotic, he will be eclipsed; In response to the changes in the sky, the imperial court should implement the 'rite of salvation', that is, the so-called 'cultivation of virtue by eclipse, and cultivation of punishment by lunar eclipse'.
Therefore, when the eclipse occurs, it is considered that the emperor is immoral, and he has to hold a solemn ceremony, beat the drum and salute, and correct the wrong behavior, that is, the emperor has to examine himself, and then he has to write an examination and admit his mistake to God. So this is a situation that no emperor wants to encounter, let alone an emperor like Jiajing who has a good face and is afraid of trouble.
It happened that it was a partial eclipse, and the time was relatively short, and the ministers debated whether to save the food according to the routine. At that time, Yuan Wei, who was washing horses in the Zhan Mansion, obeyed the emperor's will and said: "Your Majesty is a father who is a god, and a brother is a brother. It is to use the sun to shine, the atmosphere is shining, and the food is stopped, and it is the same as not eating. The minister was overjoyed...... to the effect that there should have been an eclipse today, but what made us happy was that because the emperor was so good, he only ate one-tenth of it, which is equivalent to no eclipse, so there is no need for rescue...... Emperor Jiajing, who was originally very annoying, saw this Shulong Yan Dayue, and his whole body was comfortable, and he shouted "great kindness" three times in a row, so he agreed to Yuan Wei's invitation. Soon, Yuan Wei was promoted to the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites; Soon, he was promoted to the left waiter, and finally at the end of the year, he was promoted to the secretary of the Ministry of Rites. In less than ten months, he was promoted from the fifth grade to the second grade, and was promoted to six levels in a row, which can be called the most in recent years. People say that in addition to coincidence, it is directly related to the good writing of Lord Yuan's green words and the good sycophants.
Now Yuan Wei, the sycophant saint, wants to catch the knife himself, so how can King Jing not be happy?
There is anyone happier here than King Jing, when he heard that Emperor Jiajing turned the corner, Prince Yu, who was relieved, shed tears of happiness. It is said that since Jiajing began to fall into a coma, he left his beloved Li family and went to the Buddhist hall of the concubine Chen Niangniang, and recited the Buddha with her all day, praying that his father could turn evil into good fortune and turn danger into safety...... Chen Niangniang, whose surname is benevolent, was greatly moved and said: "The prince is really a filial son! ”
King Yu smiled at the praise of Concubine Zheng, but said with a wry smile in his heart: "It's a shame to accept it!" If it weren't for myself, I wouldn't have this filial piety...... 'He didn't think about getting Li Shizhen into the palace to show the emperor about his illness, but he felt that it was difficult to ascend to the sky when he thought about it, so he dispelled this idea. Who knew that I heard later that Shen Mo took Li Shizhen and took the jade Ruyi straight to the interior, broke through Chen Hong's obstruction, met Emperor Jiajing, and cured the emperor smoothly!
"Jiangnan, ride the savior alone!" This is the first thing Gao Gong said when he saw Queen Yu!
"Yes," King Yu said excitedly: "God treats Lonely, give me Master Gao and Master Shen, you are Lonely's right-hand man!" ”
Hearing King Yu mention Shen Mo to the same height as himself, Gao Gong was a little uncomfortable, but he was quickly covered by excitement, and said with a smile: "Shen Jiangnan is indeed brave and loyal, wise and brave, remembering that I had questioned him before, I felt very guilty......
Hearing this, King Yu empathized and said: "Yes, how can Lone not misunderstand Master Shen, but he has no complaints, and only proves ...... with practical actions."
The two of them praised the silence of their miraculous achievements for a while, but of course it was just a compliment...... With the current status of the two of them, they can't reward him at all, which makes King Yu and Gao Gong, who are generous and generous, feel very guilty, and can only hope for each other: "Wait for the future, wait for the future......
Only then did he get to the point, and he arched highly: "Although we have relieved this breath, we can't relax at all, Yuan Wei on King Jing's side is a sycophant master who uses the topic to play, and with the happy event of the emperor's recovery, he may not be able to make any tricks and articles to make the emperor happy......
When King Yu heard this, he hurriedly said: "If we don't say anything, we can't be on par with him, then it's not good......
Gao arched his head and said: "What the prince said is very true," said with a slight frown: "Especially after this misfortune, Your Majesty may loosen the matter of establishing the prince......"
King Yu tightened his grip now, grabbed the sleeve of his high-arched shirt and said, "How can that be good, I don't have a son yet!" ”
Gao Gong asked softly, "Still not getting better?" "Of course, it's Yuwang's body that is asked.
"Doctor Li said that it will be next summer at the earliest." King Yu said with a gloomy expression: "I was too careless a few years ago, and I can't adjust it for a while." ”
Gao Gong sighed and crossed this annoying topic and said, "Time is very important to us, so that Your Majesty can see the good of the prince and think that you are more suitable than King Jing, so that we will be given time." ”
"But it's not like you don't know." King Yu said in frustration: "It's not easy to see my father alone, how can you see my good?" ”
"So take advantage of every opportunity available!" Gao Gong said in a deep voice: "For example, this time, if we rightfully congratulate the Holy Bow on his health, we have to win against them!" Saying that, he said with a little weakness: "At least you can't lose......"
"Then ......" King Yu scratched his head and said, "Please write a eulogy for each of the masters, and let's find the best one to send it." ”
"It's not right, it's not right." Gao Gong shook his head and said: "That is also talented, don't look at Shen Mo, Zhang Juzheng, Yin Shizhan, and Chen Yiqin are all well-educated people, but when it comes to singing praises and writing green words, tying a piece is not comparable to Yuan Wei." ”
"What then?" King Yu couldn't help but say in frustration.
"So we'll have to rely on other ways to win." Gao Gong groaned as he spoke, but he was good at decisiveness and a little less scheming, and he didn't come up with a reason after thinking about it for a long time, so he had to say: "Let the minister go back and think about it, and the prince will also ask a few masters to see if they have any good ideas." ”
"Just ask Mr. Shen." Yuwang slapped his thigh and said, "He must have an idea!" ”
"It's not proper," I don't know what psychology it is, Gao Gong refused without thinking about it: "Jiang Nan is investigating the case now, that's also very important, don't let him be distracted by this matter." ”
"Okay...... "King Yu nodded obediently and said, "Then ask the other masters another day." ”
Sending away the high arch that could not stay for a long time, King Yu returned to the back house sullenly, and when he heard the familiar sound of the wooden fish, he was accustomed to the surname and walked to the Buddhist hall. Feng Bao, who was following closely behind, looked around at no one, and asked casually, "Lord Wang, are you still going to the Buddha Hall?" ”
The slight impatience in his tone reminded the absent-minded Prince Yu, and suddenly said: "Yes, my father has recovered, what am I going to do?" With that, he turned around and left, and went straight to Li's cross-courtyard.
Feng Bao also followed closely behind him, lest he let Chen Niangniang know that he had abducted her man. After following King Yu for a long distance, he dared to look back at the Buddha Hall, and secretly said in his heart: "Who let you keep looking at Meng Chong, I can only find another backer." 'He was born as a eunuch with the eunuch of the ceremonial eunuch, literate and knowledgeable, and it is said that he has a great future, but for some reason, he was assigned to this Yuwang Mansion by Li Fang; At first, because he was sent down from above, the head of the palace, Gonggong Meng, was also polite to him.
But after a long time, as he became more and more favored by the prince, Meng Chong became more and more unfriendly to him, but he didn't dare to touch him for a while because of the face of the old ancestor. But now that the old ancestor has been sent to repair the emperor's tomb, and the big backer has been exiled, Feng Bao knows that Meng Chong is not far from his own face, so he has to find a big tree to lean again. It is said that the princess Niangniang is the best candidate, but Chen Niangniang has been served by Meng Chong for seven or eight years, and she is very satisfied with him, and she has no chance to camp by herself.
In the end, his gaze crossed the two side concubines and fell on the newly promoted Li Niangniang, although she is not famous or famous, just a maid, but through long-term observation, Feng Bao found that this woman is not simple, she has scheming and skill, and she is also very pleasing to King Yu. And most importantly, she is also isolated at the moment, if she forms an alliance with her, it will be a charcoal in the snow, and once she succeeds in the future, the rewards will be rich.
After thinking about it repeatedly, he decided to do this hammer to help Concubine Li consolidate her favor and help her improve her status, and at the same time achieve himself in the process...... Of course, King Yu didn't know the cranky thoughts of the eunuch behind him, he was worried for many days, and once his mood was relaxed at this moment, his mind was full of Li's graceful body. He couldn't help but feel hot in his heart, took three steps and made two steps, rushed into the courtyard where Li lived, and without waiting for the pass, he pushed the door straight into the noon, only to hear a coquettish cry of 'oops', and saw a red plum bloom on Li's fingers...... King Yu looked at it and saw a pure black Songjiang cotton robe spread out on Li's lap, and he was holding a needle and thread embroidering something on it.
Li also came back to his senses, and when he saw that it was the prince who broke in, he ignored the pierced fingers, and hurriedly got up and greeted: "The concubine has lost her welcome, and the prince forgives ...... sin."
King Yu smiled apologetically: "It's lonely, isn't it......" said and walked over and took Li's hand and said, "Does it hurt?" ”
Li shook his head and said with a red face: "It doesn't hurt." Then he withdrew his hand, put the broken finger on the sandalwood mouth and sucked it a few times, and then showed it to King Yu: "You can't see anything, can you?" ”
She didn't know how sultry her light jade finger sucking action was, which made Yu Wangye excited all of a sudden, and pulled her to the room.
From King Yu's heavy breathing and rude movements, Li already knew his intentions, but instead of following him, he whispered, "Lord Wang, can you break the vow?" ”
As soon as he heard her words, Yuwang was like a deflated ball, lost his passion, shook off her hand, and said sullenly: "Not yet...... said and walked back, without looking, and sat down on the embroidery pier by the table.
Li Shi was too late to stop it, and as soon as he spit out the word 'don't', he heard King Yu's snort, jumped up from the embroidery pier with his buttocks, and shouted: "Something pierced my ass!" When he looked back, it turned out to be a sewing box with an open lid, and he couldn't help but be angry: "You are not the daughter of a small family now, and you are still doing ghost needlework!" ”
Li Shi glanced at him in fear, lowered his head and whispered, "I heard that the emperor is sick, and the concubine has nothing to do, so I embroidered this robe and prayed for the blessing of the Lord Banzai." ”
"Oh?" King Yu glanced at the Taoist robe that Li was resting on the table, forgot the eye of the needle on his buttocks at a glance, and said excitedly: "It's really hard for you, I can think of this for King Gu!" As he spoke, he picked up the robe and looked at it again, and laughed and said, "The congratulatory gift is here!" There is a congratulatory gift! ”
