Feng Bao stopped.

King Yu was surprised: "Why did Shizhen say this." ”

Feng Bao also exclaimed, and couldn't help but ask, "Lord Wu, this and this...... The government and the opposition have said that Hai Rui's writing is a complete repudiation of my great tomorrow in the past 40 years, and it is a concerted effort to force the palace with internal and external collusion, and the spearhead is intentionally or unintentionally pointed at our palace. It was too late for the prince to avoid suspicion, but this time he took the initiative to go to Xiyuan. In the eyes of those who have a heart, wouldn't it be true that this break into the palace was instructed by the prince? ”

King Yu was also shocked: "Yes, Feng Bao is right. ”

Feng Bao pointed out the key point of this matter in just a few words, and Wu Jie admired it in his heart. I can't help but think, it seems that there are really talents among the eunuchs! The eunuchs with positions who came out of the inner study hall are not inferior to ordinary jinshi when it comes to real talent and learning. And after many years of experience in the intrigue of the palace, the human accident is much better than the officials who read the dead book.

No wonder at the end of the Ming Dynasty, civil officials were so badly defeated in the struggle with eunuchs,

You are right, but it's all common sense. Now is an extraordinary time, and extraordinary times should be used by extraordinary means. For example, if the hundred officials forced the palace this time to be instructed by the prince, they should have hid behind the scenes and watched the changes, how could they be sent to the door. Could it be that the prince can get rid of the suspicion by staying in the palace and doing nothing? ”

King Yu fell into deep thought.

Wu Jie continued: "The matter for today is to put this incident down as soon as possible, and the prince can go there to persuade him personally." As long as the prince can persuade the officials to disperse, doesn't it just show that the prince is open-minded and has nothing to do with this matter? The state affairs have been eroded to this point, and the prince can't hide and can't hide. Otherwise, if the situation is allowed to develop, it will be out of control. ”

"Therefore, Wu Jie thinks that the prince should go over and persuade the hundred officials to retreat, and it is best to be able to take a break from the guilt."

"But ......" King Yu still hesitated: "Lonely is just a mustard vassal king, according to the rules of the Ming Dynasty, the vassal king is not allowed to intervene in political affairs, so ...... Isn't that right? ”

This King Yu is really a wilting character, Wu Jie was also anxious, and couldn't help laughing.

King Yu looked at Wu Jie in amazement: "Why is Shizhen laughing?" ”

It seems that relying on conventional ways will not be able to convince King Yu, Wu Jie also let go, put away his smile, and said with a straight face: "Lord Wang, you are wrong and wrong. Although our dynasty does not set up a prince, it is because there is a proverb that the two dragons do not meet. But in the minds of His Majesty and hundreds of officials, the prince has long been regarded as the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty. The heavenly family is a reserve, and what is important is morality. Virtue is morality, and the quality of the prince is like gold and jade; To do is the ability to do things; Sex, absolutely, Mount Tai collapsed in the former steel unconquerable spirit. ”

"The quality of the prince is high and clean, and the government and the opposition praise it. But because he has not dealt with a specific government affairs, the word "line and sex" is not known. I'm afraid, even His Majesty has some hesitation in his heart. ”

"This matter is related to the great changes in the government and politics, and it is the time for the prince to show his deeds and sexuality. If it is dealt with, it will have a different weight in His Majesty's mind. ”

Wu Jie touched the beard on his lips and stood up, and gave a long stroke: "Lord, Wu Jie is a close minister of the Son of Heaven, these words should not be said, please punish the prince!" ”

"You...... What a guts! Yuwang slapped the coffee table vigorously, and the teacups on the table clanged.

Feng Bao next to him was also shocked.

Wu Jie's words are already in the category of imperial art, and it is a capital crime to speculate on the emperor's mind in vain.

There are some things that we can't do with each other. But he didn't want Wu Jie to be so bold and say it completely.

How can King Yu not be surprised, he suddenly subconsciously scolded.

..., Wu Jie raised his head and looked at King Yu without fear: "State affairs are like this, Sheji is like this, Wu Jie can't take care of the good and bad fortune, please make a decision." ”

Yuwang wanted to say something more, but the hand raised in the air fell softly.

After a long time, he helped Wu Jie up and sighed: "Shizhen, Shizhen...... This king's heart is already in turmoil...... This time I went to see the hundred officials of the forced palace...... Those officials are all clear, but they are not easy to convince, and there are more truths than anyone else! ”

When Wu Jie heard this, he breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart, and felt a slight sweat in his vest.

One inhaled: "Lord Wang, tell me how you plan to face the hundred officials?" ”

They did not sit down, but stood in the middle of the room and spoke.

King Yu thought for a while before he said: "This time, the hundred officials forced the palace, to put it bluntly, it is not to ask for the arrears. It's really not good, break the family for the country, take hundreds of thousands of taels of silver out, and make up for the shortfall. ”

Wu Jie smiled and shook his head: "The prince is wrong again, there is a saying that says: the food of the king, the matter of loyalty to the king." The prince is not a king, how can he go beyond the line to give money to the officials, and what is the intention of the prince? ”

These Yuwang's faces turned completely pale, and they gave up their hands again and again: "Shizhen teach me." ”

Wu Jie: "In a word, cry!" ”

Wu Jie had been thinking about this method for a long time just now, and in his opinion, King Yu was very poor in both ability and wisdom, but he was generous and had a strong personality.

This is a bit like Liu Bei in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

Wu Jie said in a low voice: "Lord Wang, when you see the hundred officials, you just need to cry, and when the time comes, the Qingliu people will naturally be moved by the prince's character and disperse." ”

After that, I will explain what I should do later, and explain it one by one.

Only then did he hurriedly say goodbye, and made a sedan chair to rush back to Xiyuan.

When I arrived at the gate of Xiyuan, I saw that the officials were still kneeling on the snow outside the gate.

And Xu Jie, Gao Gong, and Zhang Juzheng all sat on a horse tie, looking at everyone deadly, with regret and sadness on their faces.

All of them were so cold that their mouths were blue and their faces were black, and they were shivering.

On the contrary, Chen Hong stood at the gate with a sneer on the corner of his mouth, with a fierce face.

Wu Jie walked to Xu Jie's side and asked in a low voice, "Elder Ge, has Your Majesty woken up?" ”

Xu Jie nodded bitterly: "Long live has been woken up, it's just ...... Didn't come out ......."

At this time, the Qingliu began to cast lots: "We want to see Your Majesty." ”

"Faint king, faint king!"

Some people really can't stand the cold, and they get up impatiently, and they want to rush inside.

Wu Jie hurriedly opened his hands: "Everyone calm down, everyone calm down." ”

Everyone looked back, but saw several sedan chairs parked behind everyone.

King Yu got down from the sedan chair, walked quickly to the supervising envoy and helped him up, and said, "I came to see you on the order of the emperor, and the emperor also remembers you." ”

When he had finished speaking, he began to cry aloud.

It didn't matter if he cried, the officials who had been kneeling on the snow for three or four hours couldn't help but cry loudly.

For a time, the sky was full of trumpets.

Wu Jie kept a careful look, and looked carefully at the people below, and found that a few people did not shed tears, but on the contrary, they had a disgraced face.

glanced back at Chen Hong again, and Chen Hong's face was extremely white.

These people Wu Jie also knew were members of the Yan Party, and it seemed that this farce had nothing to do with them.

Xu Jie, who was beside Wu Jie, let out a long sigh of relief: "It's good that King Yu is here, and it didn't disappoint." ”

And Zhang Juzheng and Gao Gong both glanced at each other, and then the joy on their faces flashed. …,

There is no way to cry like this, Wu Jie took a step forward and quietly pushed King Yu behind his back.

King Yu came to his senses at this time, stretched out his hand to wipe a handful of tears, took a breath, and said, "I want to say a word, I hope you will listen quietly." ”

He glanced at everyone, as if he hadn't missed a bit.

By now, it was four o'clock Beijing time in the afternoon, and the sky was even darker. It gets dark very early in Beijing, and red lanterns have been lit on the towers behind it.

The snowflakes were still falling unhurriedly, as if they would never stop.

Patches of white snow were also printed red by the light, flickering in the air and then blown away by the cold wind.

Several of the ministers behind King Yu tightened up and stood up, and after sitting for a long time, they also stiffened.

King Yu spoke unpleasantly, word by word, but it was extremely clear: "Sage Yun, the parents who are all in the world." By inference, there are no more monarchs in the world. When Emperor Taizu Gao taught hundreds of officials to judge lawsuits, he also said that when the father sued, the song was in the son and not in the father; Brother lawsuit, Qu is in the brother but not in the brother. It is also the same reason that there is only one monarch father for the Ming Dynasty to protect the hundred trillion subjects, and there is only one monarch father for the hundred trillion ministers. With the four seas of the world to build a place for the monarch to live and cultivate, you should not make trouble at this time. ”

This passage talks about Jiajing's embezzlement of the money in the treasury to repair the palace, which is a big truth and irrefutable. These more than 100 Qingliu officials are accustomed to the words of saints on weekdays, and they are used to giving people buttons, but today I heard the prince say this truth, but I can only admit it.

King Yu continued: "As for the emptiness of the treasury and the hunger and cold of the people, this fault is first of all my fault, the fault of the cabinet, and the fault of the officials of the six ministries and nine kings. It is not the fault of the monarch. Today, in front of the Cabinet members, I would like to confess my mistakes to all of you and to the subjects of the world. ”

After saying that, he bowed deeply to the people.

Tears trickled down his face and fell onto the snow, dripping a few dots on the ground.

Xu Jie, Zhang Juzheng and others also bowed down, and Wu Jie naturally had to go with the flow.

At this moment, the officials who had just put away their grief began to cry and knelt on the ground.

The imperial envoy of the Supervision Yuan trembled with excitement: "No, no, no, it's not the prince's fault, it's my fault." Lao Chen...... The old minister will go home and write an excerpt to ask His Majesty for his guilt! ”

"I'm willing to ask Your Majesty for guilt!"

Everyone stood up and turned to leave.

Zhang Juzheng whispered in Wu Jie's ear: "Lord Wu has done a good job!" ”

Wu Jie was proud in his heart, indeed, the passage that King Yu just said was taught to him by himself, and he didn't expect the effect to be so good.

was about to say a word of modesty, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw a Taoist robe flashing on the city tower over there.

Wu Jie was shocked: "It's Emperor Jiajing." ”。 ）
