Chapter 319: The King's Will
Under the leadership of Zhong Menfang, Jiajing and Wu Jie walked the winding road again and left the Lu Mansion.
The night was already very deep, and Jiajing was still walking with his big sleeves fluttering in front of him, singing and chanting, and crying for a long song.
The spring breeze blowing from the other side of the river carries a strong moisture, enveloping everything in this slightly moist atmosphere.
The stars in the sky were still shining, twinkling in the northern sky of this plane.
The vastness is infinite, the sun and the moon are multiplied, and the yin and yang are the chariots.
But the breath of spring is everywhere, and the willows on the riverside have sprouted, making it fresh and elegant at night.
This piece of terrain is open, no matter how Jiajing howls and groans, no one asks.
"Woohoo, woohoo!"
Wu Jie suddenly felt an indescribable loneliness in his heart.
Jiajing, who has always been strong and gloomy, is like a madman today, like a drunken person.
Maybe this is another side of him that he doesn't know about, right?
"Woohoo, woohoo!"
Still howling loudly, and then crying loudly.
The ancients paid attention to happiness but not lewdness, sorrow but not sadness, and for a king, this is even more so. It seems that only joy and anger are not in line with people's wishes
Such great sorrow and grief as Jiajing is no longer in line with the royal etiquette.
After a long time, Jiajing stood still, looking at the river in front of him.
"Your Majesty."
Jiajing turned around slowly, with tears in his eyes, and his eyes fell on the Ruyi in Wu Jie's hand: "This Ruyi was made by Wenfu himself when he entered Beijing to inherit the throne. Back then, Wenfu said that when the daughter-in-law was in Anlu, you and I were brothers, and I thought that I would be brothers for the rest of my life. But as soon as you enter Zhengyangmen, you and I are monarchs. I'll give you this wishful thinking,. , Lian knew that he was wishing Lian all the best. ”
"All the best, all the best, hehe." Jiajing casually sat on a bolted horse pillar by the river and chuckled: "How can things be as good as the world can be as good as it should be Since becoming the emperor, I have fought with Yang Ting and father and son, fought with Xia Yan and the civil officials of the Manchu Dynasty, fought with Yan Song, and now fought with Wenfu." This emperor is so tired that he can't stop for a moment! ”
"Humanity and feelings, for an emperor, it is so unnecessary and so extravagant, I knew how, I should have stayed in Hubei back then, and it is not bad to be a prince of peace!"
He raised his head and looked at the starry sky above his head, with a smile on his face, as if he was reminiscing, and as if muttering to himself: "Back then, when I was a child, I was locked up in the palace and couldn't leave the palace without fear, always thinking about what the outside world was like and how wonderful it was...... Once, Wenfu and Lian secretly ran out of the palace and walked outside for two days. I was so hungry that I couldn't stand it, and I went to the farmhouse to steal chickens, but I was sent to ...... Lian was punched and swollen in the face...... Lu Bing ran away very unjustly, this birdman ......"
Jiajing said this passage intermittently and without a point. Wu Jie could only listen, but he didn't dare to interject.
Jiajing: "Later, Lian and Lu Bing were arrested and returned to the palace, Lian is a royal family after all, but poor Lu Bing was beaten to the core. After that time, the palace couplet was watched closely, and there was no chance to slip out. Later, Lian became the emperor, and he never had the opportunity to travel far. Looking back now, the few days when he ran away with Lu Bing were the only world he had ever seen in his life. Because he has been starving, cold, and beaten, Lian is no longer weak and never flinchs when encountering problems. ”
"That time there was a fire in the palace, and Lian was trapped in the fire, and Lu Bing ran out with Lian on his back. Guess what the Union said? ”
Wu Jie did not answer.
Jiajing: "Lian said, Lu Bing, what are you doing here, Lian is a real dragon, the destiny is in the body, how can such a fire get close." ”
Lu Bing shed tears at that time, Your Majesty, Your Majesty had escaped once in Hubei before, this time, if you don't escape, you will give me this opportunity...... "......"..., as he was talking, suddenly, the lights of the Lu Mansion in the distance were brightly lit, and then a low noise came like a tide, because it was far away, and it was not really heard.
Jiajing seemed to realize something, and straightened his waist suddenly.
Wu Jie's heart was also tight, and he said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Lu Scandium...... Let's go. "I didn't feel a slight sourness in my heart.
The two of them stayed by the river, letting the dew wet their hair and clothes.
I don't know how long it took, in the dark, Chen Hong walked over quickly, and bowed his body: "Long live the lord, it's confirmed, Lu Bing has passed away." ”
"Got it." Jiajing nodded, closed his eyes, and two lines of tears flowed down.
After a while, he opened his eyes: "The case of embezzlement of ink in the maintenance project of Yuxi Palace, can the cabinet and the celebrant have a final decision?" ”
Wu Jie's heart was shocked, and he suddenly remembered the scene he saw the last time he went to the celebrant duty room. If there is no mistake, this matter must be the collusion between Yan Shifan and the Li family's father and son.
If Yan Shifan was punished by the emperor for corruption, Wu Jie would naturally be happy to see it. But the father and son of the Li family are the closest relatives of Concubine Li, and I am afraid that this case will involve King Yu, and it will inevitably make King Jing profit from it at that time.
First of all, this matter has nothing to do with Wu Jie, and secondly, Wu Jie has a relationship with Yuwangfu, and he doesn't bother to ask.
didn't expect that today he would be turned out by Jiajing in such a situation.
Chen Hong replied: "Your Majesty, this matter has been clearly investigated in the East Factory, and after reporting to the cabinet and the celebrant for discussion, it has been concluded that the maintenance project of Yuxi Palace has a total of 930,000 taels of silver, and all of them have been greedy by Lu Xuan, the deputy of the Ministry of Industry. ”
"Ahh Wu Jie couldn't help but scream, how could it be, this matter was clearly done by Yan Shifan and Li Wei's father and son, but now it was framed on Lu Xuan's head.
Lu Xuan is already a nerd, he can't say a word, he is just a decoration in the camp, saying that he is corrupt, and the ghosts don't believe it.
Jiajing slowly turned his head and looked at Wu Jie, his gaze as if he was about to see through him.
Wu Jie immediately woke up to the fact that he was looking for a scapegoat.
As a father, Jiajing naturally understands the battle for the throne between King Jing and King Yu, and he doesn't want to see his sons fight over this matter. He is old, and he just wants to see his sons in peace, surrounded by him in peace, and enjoy the joy of family life.
If this case is really investigated, the Yan Party will certainly not be able to get rid of the relationship, but the wealthy palace will also be implicated. At that time, King Jing took this opportunity to provoke the future prince, and the political situation in the DPRK and China was turbulent again.
It's better to go downhill, then Lu Xuan will take the cylinder, and eradicate the Lu family's power in the court in one fell swoop.
With a sigh in his heart, Wu Jie lowered his head.
Jiajing said slowly: "Lu Xuan is just an eight-grade official, will he have such courage, he must dig deeper, and all the silver must be recovered." ”
Chen Hong: "Long live is right, these 930,000 taels of silver fell into the hands of Lu Yi and Lu Wei. The minister has conclusive evidence, and I ask Your Majesty to make it clear. ”
Jiajing stood up abruptly and waved his sleeves: "Raid the Lu Mansion, arrest a cadre, and recover the stolen goods." ”
On his face, he was full of murderous ...... )
