Chapter 568: Rage
With the pervasive brocade guard, Jiajing is very clear about the courtiers' every move, Tang Yi has a "Qingming Riverside Map" in his hand, Jiajing heard about it a few months ago. As the Son of Heaven of the Ming Dynasty, of course, he can't be like the Qing Dynasty, running around staking and staking what he sees, and what he wants, that is a hooligan, not the master of the empire.
From the bottom of his heart, Jiajing still hoped that Tang Yi could be interested and obediently send the baby over, which was the best, so he muttered two sentences when he summoned Xu Wei.
Sure enough, Tang Yi obediently sent the baby, Jiajing was still overjoyed, but he said: "A gentleman doesn't take away the beauty of people, and I don't want your things for nothing, so let's take a look at the Yuxi Palace, what things are good, except for my jade seal, whatever you want, just take the same, count me and you in exchange." ”
Jiajing is generous enough, Tang Yi hesitated for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Rong Chen will bring the painting first, there are some small problems, you will know if you have seen it." ”
Tang Yi waved his hand at the door of the palace, and a little eunuch ran over with a wooden box, delivered it to Tang Yi, turned around and retreated.
Of course, the wooden box was not the original big guy, but it was more than two feet long, Tang Yi gently opened it, took out a scroll painting from it, put it on the table, and gently unfolded a corner.
Jiajing hurriedly flashed his eyes, five thin gold characters "Qingming Shanghe Tu", there is a double dragon small seal below, it is the book of Song Huizong, Jiajing's eyes lit up, and then look down, it is the inscription of Zhang's book: Hanlin Zhang Zeduan word is right, Dongwu people also, young study, travel to study in Beijing, and then learn to paint......
Jiajing squinted his eyes, more and more carefully, and the dense seals were all from the famous collectors of the past dynasties, and then look at the handwriting. paper, without the slightest problem.
The unparalleled treasure in front of him, Jiajing couldn't hold back his excitement, stretched out his hand, snatched the scroll from Tang Yi's hand, and couldn't wait to unfold it. I want to see the whole picture.
But of course, after unfolding less than a foot, he was dumbfounded, a few clear knife marks, the picture scroll was brutally split, and then looked down, the more and more serious the damage, to the middle, scattered, has been broken into a pile. I'm afraid I won't even be able to fix it!
"Tang Yi!"
Jiajing roared angrily, "What the hell is going on, why is a good painting broken?" ”
The rare treasure was destroyed in one fell swoop, not to mention how strong Jiajing's anger was, that is, Tang Yi, if someone else, he would directly push it out and cut it down.
"Your Majesty. This picture is still good this morning, and the minister is carefully framed. Ready to give it to Your Majesty, who knows, who knows......"
"Don't spit it out, I can't say why, I've peeled your skin!"
"Yes, yes, the minister is preparing to send it to His Majesty with Xu Hanlin. As a result, Yan Shifan took a group of people with a holy decree, saying that he was going to the minister's mansion to search for some prisoners. The minister didn't agree, but he was worried that someone would chew his tongue, so the minister let Yan Shifan in. The minister specially instructed him not to destroy things. Who knows, he actually instigated his subordinates to destroy the national treasure......"
Speaking of this, Tang Yi's face was full of tears, and he couldn't cry, "Your Majesty, the minister is guilty, please punish Your Majesty!" ”
Jiajing looked at Tang Yi and then at the picture scroll on the table.
What a good thing, it has been passed down for hundreds of years, the treasures of art, the treasures that countless people have been eager for, have been destroyed!
"You're a rice bucket! Rubbish! Yan Shifan is your father, how to drop? If he wants to go, you let him go! ”
Tang Yi said aggrievedly: "Your Majesty, he is holding the holy decree." ”
"The Divine Decree, who gave it to him?"
Jiajing's voice raised an octave, his anger was irrepressible, and when he saw Yuan Heng at a glance, the big eunuch trembled.
"Do you know when I gave Yan Shifan a holy decree to search Tang Yi's mansion?"
"Go back, go back to the emperor, the slave doesn't know!" Yuan Heng's tone trembled.
"And what do you know?"
Plopped, Yuan Heng knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "Emperor, the slave maid thinks it's better to call Yan Butang and confront him carefully!" ”
"Okay, you go to Xuanyan Shifan immediately, I want to see what he has to say!"
Yuan Heng ran down, and after a while, Yan Shifan was taken into Yuxi Palace, at this time, Yan Shifan was angry, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, he had never been so angry in his life, seeing Tang Yi kneeling there, he gritted his teeth, he really wanted to rush up and tear him apart.
However, Jiajing was still there, Yan Shifan could only kneel down honestly and kowtow to Jiajing. To Yan Shifan's surprise, Jiajing didn't say anything about flattening, just let him pout, not to mention how uncomfortable it was, and after a while, the old face was flushed, and he didn't dare to make a sound. But I scolded in my heart, what happened to Lao Tzu today, I went out and rushed to Tai Sui, and unlucky things happened together!
Yan Shifan lay on the ground, unable to see Jiajing's blue and black face, and an indescribable anger brewed from Jiajing's body.
A painting may not be nothing, but "Qingming Riverside Picture" is not ordinary, it depicts the magnificent scenery of Bianjing, and the people are abundant, just like the Ming Dynasty under his rule, ending the chaos of the Zhengde Dynasty and re-moving towards Zhongxing...... Whether others believe it or not, anyway, Jiajing has always thought that the world under his rule is much more prosperous and powerful than the Song Dynasty, but in recent years, there have been Japanese robbers in the southeast, Tatars in the northwest, barbarians in the northeast, and Tusi in the southwest have also rebelled.
Jiajing asked himself, he didn't do anything wrong, but why didn't God bless him?
Seeing the broken picture, Jiajing suddenly had a guess, Yan Shifan broke the "Qingming Riverside Map", could it be that God is hinting at something, and the Ming Dynasty is also messed up because of this person?
Thinking about it this way, Jiajing still feels that it really makes sense, in the past ten years, especially since Yan Shifan entered the cabinet to serve his father Yan Song, most of the government affairs of the imperial court came from Yan Shifan's hands, and the handling of problems was rough and frizzy, and there were more and more mistakes.
Rao is Tianjin Port, the city of the city increases millions of taels of silver every year, the state is still difficult, or unable to make ends meet, the people are even more anxious to be fed, where is the money gone?
The last time I checked Zhao Wenhua's home, I got millions of silver, and I copied Yan Maoqing's house, and it was several million taels. The Ming Dynasty is not without money, but they are all greedy by a bunch of rats......
To say that Jiajing is smart, he is indeed smart, he can play with the ministers in applause. If you want to say that he is ignorant, he is really stupid enough to be able to bring together irrelevant things.
In any case, Jiajing was extremely disgusted with Yan Shifan.
"Raise your head!"
Yan Shifan hurriedly raised his head to catch his breath as if he had been granted amnesty.
The moment he looked up, Jiajing suddenly noticed. Yan Shifan's forehead is very wide and full, correspondingly, and the chin is pointed and long. In the past, because he was fat, Jiajing didn't pay attention to it, but when he paid attention today, it was very obvious.
Jiajing is familiar with photographic books, and pays attention to the fact that northerners look at the heavenly court, southerners look at the earthly pavilion, and the wider and fuller the northerners' brains, the better. As for the southerners, the bigger the chin, the better, Yan Shifan's guy has grown upside down, and the world is upside down, isn't it a good sign......
If Tang Yi knew Jiajing's thoughts and guaranteed to die of laughter, he would purely act psychologically, and see who was not pleasing to the eye. It's not good anywhere, how many people in later generations have tried their best to cut their chins. It looked like an awl, and it didn't see anything, but it became more and more popular.
Of course, Tang Yi didn't have the heart to popularize plastic surgery knowledge for Jiajing, he just wanted to watch Yan Shifan's good show.
"Yan Shifan, when did I let you investigate the case?"
Yan Shifan hurriedly said, "Your Majesty." Some time ago, Wu Peng, the secretary of the ministry, died violently, and the minister asked for an investigation, did anyone assassinate him? Your Majesty...... Forgot? ”
Jiajing was noncommittal and paused. said: "How's the check?" ”
"There's a clue." Yan Shifan glanced at Tang Yi next to him, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, according to the minister's investigation, someone looked for him before Lord Wu died, and the minister thought that this person was the key to killing Lord Wu. And this man ...... It is He Xinyin, who is known as the Jiangnan hero. ”
Jiajing chuckled and said, "Who is He Xinyin?" ”
"Your Majesty, He Xinyin is a person from the rivers and lakes, this person has hands and eyes to the sky, and his magical powers are vast, when he was in the southeast, he had many contacts with Lord Tang, and he had a very close relationship, and the minister thought that it was Lord Tang who instigated He Xinyin to kill Lord Wu and want to seize the power of the Ministry of Officials."
The more Yan Shifan spoke, the louder he became, but when he peeked, he found that Jiajing's face was getting darker and darker, and his big hand was clutching the robe, revealing the white bones, and anger erupted from his eyes, as if he was going to burn Yan Shifan.
What's going on? Yan Shifan became more and more confused, Jiajing used to be obedient to him, but what happened today.
Before he could react, Jiajing split his head and covered his face, scolded him mercilessly.
"Yan Shifan, are you a three-year-old child? A Jianghu person, when he meets him, can kill my minister? Is he a demon or a ghost? Or are you Yan Shifan talking nonsense? ”
"Minister, minister no!" Yan Shifan raised his head and argued.
"I still said no, I handed over the Jiangshan Sheji to your father and son to take care of, look at what you have done and who you have used over the years? Zhao Wenhua searched the land, and even the money for repairing the palace was greedy, Yan Maoqing didn't know what to do, changed the salt administration, and almost caused the people to change, and then look at the others, who can take charge of it alone and share the worries for me? No, not a single one! ”
The more Jiajing spoke, the more angry he became, he stood up and walked around irritably.
"A celestial official of the Ministry of Officials, in charge of the election, how important it is, he is actually mixed with the demons of the Jiuyang Society, this alone, I can dismiss his official! was killed by the people of the rivers and lakes, you can say it! How did your father and son recommend Wu Peng back then, saying that he was old and serious, a talent for seeking the country, and in charge of the ministry, he would definitely rule the world and the country and the people. The words are still in my ears, Yan Shifan, you tell me, did your father and son be deceived by him, or did you join forces to deceive me? ”
Jiajing is like an angry lion, with a wind and a frost sword, merciless, Yan Shifan is stupid, he can't imagine that things will go the wrong way.
Didn't we talk about "Qingming Riverside Map", why did it go so far? Sweat ran down his sideburns, and Yan Shifan's body kept trembling.
The bystanders are clear, Tang Yi finally understands that his actions over the years have not been in vain, and Jiajing's actions against the Yan Party are clear.
In the past, he was reluctant to cause changes in the court situation, so he has always been forbearing, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't mind.
In this dispute between the officials and the secretary, although Yan Song relied on a secret letter, he forced Jiajing to bow his head and helped Ouyang Bijin up.
But the troubles also came out, Jiajing likes the strict party, the main reason is that they are obedient, unlike Qingliu, who don't like anything, and they hold back every day to teach the emperor and cause trouble to Jiajing.
The ups and downs of the ministers depend on two things, one is the appeal of the court, and the other is the emperor's holy family.
Take Zhang Cong, the first assistant who rose by virtue of the Great Rites Conference, he is unparalleled, but it only took him six years to change from a third-class jinshi to the first assistant of the empire.
No matter what, the civil official group could not accept him, and in the years that followed, Zhang Cong had ups and downs, and finally Jiajing was also annoyed, and Zhang Cong could only end gloomily.
As for Yan Song, his foundation is much deeper than Zhang Cong, whether it is the court or the holy family, he is incomparable, so he has successfully been in charge of the cabinet for 20 years.
Maybe it's because they've been on the top for too long, they think that Jiajing is weak and can be bullied, as long as they grasp the court, Jiajing will compromise with them.
Arrogance will taste retribution, unfortunately, the retribution of the strict party has come, and the matter of "Qingming Riverside Map" is just a tipping point.
Yan Shifan was speechless when asked by Jiajing, and at this moment, Huang Jin trotted in front of Jiajing and whispered, "Emperor, Yan Ge Lao asks to see." (To be continued.) )
