Chapter 455: The Clus of the Matter

Since October, the work of Wanping County Commander in clearing the land in the Xishan Temples has come to a standstill. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

In this regard, the Wanping County Order was also aggrieved, and he wrote to the Son of Heaven to express his feelings, which had the meaning that if His Majesty did not make the decision for me, I would pick the son and quit.

To everyone's surprise, the Son of Heaven actually suppressed this matter and ignored it completely.

This made the government and the opposition talk and speculate. You must know that since the implementation of the new policy, the Son of Heaven has always fully supported Xiaoge, which can be said to be asking people for money and money.

This Wanping County Order is completely in accordance with the old and new policies of the small pavilion, and to a certain extent, it represents the old small pavilion.

The Son of Heaven has an ambiguous attitude at this time, which makes people wonder if the New Deal has come to an end?

The Son of Heaven was so late that he was so frightened that Wanping County Commander also started to shrink his head.

He ordered all the officials of the Qingzhang land to return to the county government, and they were not allowed to go to the Xishan temples for trouble.

Since he is a pawn, there is no need to rush to sell his life, and it is better to come forward in a clearer form.

The courtiers can wait, the Wanping County Order can wait, and even the Son of Heaven can wait.

But Xie Shen can't wait.

No one knows better than him that the New Deal is being implemented in one breath. If the anger is gone, the New Deal will not be far from its death.

Therefore, he decided to face the saint and openly and honestly express his attitude to the Son of Heaven.

It was very easy for Xie Shen to meet the Son of Heaven. When he came to the outside of the emperor's bedroom, Zhang Yong, the imperial eunuch, was a little surprised.

"Little Pavilion Elder who you are?"

"I want to meet Your Majesty."

Zhang Yong suddenly made a difficulty. He often served by the emperor's side, so he naturally knew that the emperor didn't want to see Xie Shen at this time. But he couldn't tell Xie Shen the details directly, otherwise it would be him revealing the inner palace to the ministers.

"Elder Xiaoge, why is it so urgent?"

Xie Shen said coldly: "Naturally, it's a business matter, and I also ask Gonggong Zhang to do it on my behalf." ”

Zhang Yong was kind enough to persuade him, but he touched his nose and said in his heart, it seems that our family is too talkative, if you want to see the emperor, then go and see it.

"Well said, well said. Xiao Ge is old and wait for a while, and our family will go to report to the emperor. ”

After saying that, he turned and stepped into the temple.

After a short time, Zhang Yong went and returned.

Only this time his expression on his face was a little softened.

"Little Pavilion Elder, Your Majesty has announced your visit."

Xie Shen bowed his head slightly and strode into the hall.

There was incense in the hall, and Xie Shen coughed in a fog shrouded in clouds and mountains, and his body was fluttering.

He said in his heart, no wonder the emperor likes to burn incense, it turns out that this kind of immortal scene will make people think that they have become immortals.

"Sir, here?"

Emperor Zhengde walked out from behind the screen, with a tired face.

Xie Shen bowed his hand and said, "The minister has something important to start Your Majesty." ”

Zhengde hesitated for a moment, but still said: "If it is for the Wanping County Order, Mr. doesn't need to say it." ”

Xie Shen's heart sank.

It was the first time in his memory that the emperor had spoken to him like this.

What happened in the end made Emperor Zhengde's temperament change greatly in a short period of time.

Just when Xie Shen was puzzled, Zhu Houzhao coughed and said, "I have been thinking about the New Deal for a while, and I am indeed in a bit of a hurry. ”

"Your Majesty!"

Xie Shen was a little anxious, and immediately said in a deep voice: "The new deal is like scraping bones to cure poison for Daming, although he is anxious, he is helpless. If you leave it alone, it will do no harm to the Ming Dynasty. ”

Emperor Zhengde's face turned pale, and he raised his hand impatiently and said, "Enough, sir, don't say it anymore." ”

Xie Shen knew that someone must have slandered the Son of Heaven, and the only people who could contact the Son of Heaven in this leopard room were the ministers and the inner eunuchs.

It is unlikely that the cabinet ministers can be trusted, Li Dongyang and Xie Qian. Then there is only the inner prison.

Could it be Zhang Yong?

But he has no grudge against Zhang Yong in the past, and no enmity in the near future, why did Zhang Yong make him a stumbling block? It's not logical.

"Your Majesty, please ask Your Majesty to punish the crime of vain words, but the minister still has to say it."

"Sir, ......"

Zhu Houzhao was speechless. What else could he say? Is he going to order the gentleman to be kicked out?

Emperor Zhengde was like a deflated raft, sat on the soft couch and sighed: "I only listen to this time, Mr. will talk about it later." ”

Xie Shen sorted out his thoughts for a while, and said suddenly: "Wanping County has encountered obstacles in the Qingzhang land of the temples in the western part of the capital, what does Your Majesty think?" ”

"That's what you're here for, sir?" The corners of Zhu Houzhao's mouth flashed with a wry smile: "Could it be that the extra fields of the scholars are not enough, and the gentleman must move the fields of the Buddhist temple?" ”

Xie Shen knew that something was wrong, and it seemed that he was helpless when he heard the emperor's words.

"I don't know what difficulties Your Majesty has encountered, and the minister is willing to share your Majesty's worries."

"Sir, I can't do anything about it this time."

Finally, Zhu Houzhao still sighed and said: "I can't bear the infamy of unfilial piety, so the matter of Qingzhang Buddhist Temple land will end here." ”

Dowager? Xie Shen couldn't help but be stunned.

How could it be her?

In fact, compared with the land under the name of the scholar, the tax-free land occupied by the Buddhist temple is only a drop in the bucket.

The reason why Xie Shen grasped this point and did not put it down was not because of obsessive-compulsive disorder, but because he wanted to show a momentum that was not broken or standing.

If he were treated differently, I am afraid that even those scholars would think that he was making a show to gain fame. What has been achieved before will also be disillusioned with nothingness.

"Your Majesty is saying that the Queen Mother does not want the land of the Buddhist temple to be cleared again?"

Zhu Houzhao nodded and said: "The Queen Mother believes in Buddhism, and she has a Buddhist relationship with the host of Tanzhe Temple. Naturally, her old family did not want to see the land of the temple confiscated. ”

It turns out that the crux of the problem is here!

Xie Shen couldn't help but sigh, this Empress Dowager Zhang is really enough to add to the chaos.

"If Your Majesty is worried about this, you don't have to."

Xie Shen paused and said: "The minister thinks that if the Jingxi Temples really lie about the number of fields given by Qin, then they are bullying the monarch first, and they should be cleared again." This is also a blessing for them. ”

"But the Queen Mother doesn't think so." Emperor Zhengde was very helpless: "Does Mr. want me to be an unfilial son?" ”

"Don't dare!"

Xie Shen hurriedly said: "What the minister means is that since the Queen Mother believes in Buddhism, she should understand that the Buddha is in her heart." These fields are all outside the body, so what does it matter if there is more or less? ”

It is true that monks do not take pleasure in things or feel sorry for themselves.

Can......

Zhu Houzhao only felt upset. What Mr. said is reasonable, but if he really recklessly collects the excess land of the Jingxi Temple, it is really difficult for the Queen Mother to explain.

"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother and the ministers can go and persuade you, but this matter of clearing the land can't stop. The whole court is looking at His Majesty's attitude, and if you stagnate at this time, you will lose all your efforts! ”
