Chapter 408: The Great Storm in the Cabinet
readx;
These words, if they came out of the mouths of other emperors, might not be nothing, and it would have been impossible for the monarchs and ministers to be harmonious, but it was the first time that they came out of Zhu Youji's mouth. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Since Zhu Youzhu succeeded to the throne, he has been alienated from eunuchs and close to Wenchen, and he has never said anything excessive, but now that this kind of words come out of his mouth, it is really rare.
In the end, Zhu Youzhang's eyes fell on the last recital, on which was written a few big characters on the scholar Liu Jianjing, Zhu Youzhang's eyes flashed, and his stern face gradually softened.
This person, after all, he has spent hardships with him, and he has shared hardships, Zhu Youzhu is not close to many people, and there are few relatives, as for the ministers who rely on him, they have always been in the cabinet, and he can't help but think of Liu Jian's old and rickety figure, and then picked up the book.
"Although the old minister is only knowledgeable, he is still not abandoned by His Majesty and entrusted with responsibility. With shallowness and knowledge, the minister was frightened, and he felt it in his heart, so he did his best to report the effect, and worked hard all night, not daring to say that he had nothing to lose, but he wanted to have always without regrets. However, now the old minister is old, dying of old age, he does not dare to steal a high position, and make the backward hopeless, and dare not dare to make political affairs lose because the minister is old and can not be a director, and the minister thinks again and again, only to ask the old to return to his hometown, today's imperial court, there are Li Dongyang, Xie Qianren and so ......on."
A very ordinary resignation, with respectful sentences and sincere words, made Zhu Youzhang's eyes moisten.
Once upon a time, I had doubted him, once upon a time, I had a deep friendship with him, but now...... Zhu Youzhu hesitated, do you want to approve this recital?
His whole person became extremely deep, one hand on the case, with his fingers to tap the case, every time he struck, there was a clattering sound, for a long time, he raised his eyes, and said: "Pen and ink ......"
A eunuch brought a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and Zhu Youzhu picked up the pen and wrote in the book: "Liu Qing has contributed to the country, I have a lot of dependence, and my body is old, so I can recuperate my body, why did I leave it?" ā
After writing, he breathed a long sigh of relief and said slowly: "Now someone is pleading with Cai Chang, hmph, this person is named after him, and he has an accident, I must not spare him." Now I'll go and ask, has Cai Changke, the leather worker, ever been out of Beijing, and I don't want him to stay in Beijing anymore. ā
Immediately, a eunuch rushed to ask.
And Zhu Youjiao's choice of disposal method is to warn Liu Jian by beating Cai Chang, after all, Liu Jian is his old minister who has suffered for many years, such a person, how can Zhu Youzhu break up easily, but what Liu Jian did this time is really excessive to the extreme, to put it mildly, he is unscrupulous, and to put it seriously, this is bullying the king.
Knocking Cai Chang and teaching him a lesson is to let him know that it is dangerous to do so, and the emperor will not tolerate him having a next time.
Zhu Youzhu asked someone to put away all the books, Queen Zhang had already held a cup of hot tea to the bottom, and asked Zhu Youzhu to eat it, Zhu Youzhu felt better, lay back on the couch, and said slowly: "I only know now that people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, and some people can't believe it, hey, don't talk about this, what are you and Duo'er talking about?" ā
Empress Zhang said: "Your Majesty, the concubines saw that King Ning was also planning for their children, and they thought in their hearts, this Duo'er is also old, it's time to find a good family, ordinary people still know that it is necessary to marry a daughter as soon as possible, although Duo'er is a princess, but this marriage can not be delayed any longer, I thought, before next year, I have to take care of this matter." ā
Zhu Youzhu couldn't help laughing dumbly, and couldn't help but think in his heart, I was really shocked when I heard that King Ning was going to marry a daughter, and I almost couldn't sleep all night. Thinking of this, Zhu Youzhu also felt a headache, there are really not many people in this world who can be looked down upon by Zhu Youzhang, as for the younger generations, there are even fewer, there are only a handful, he only has such a daughter, naturally he has to find a good son-in-law to entrust, Queen Zhang has said a few candidates, the most favorite is the British prince, although Zhu Youzhu said that it is not bad, but in his heart he is not very fond of the oily face, open students, closed poetry of the British prince, if it is more than ten years ago, he has not yet ascended the throne, You may like such a character, who talks loudly, sings about the wind and the moon, and is extremely chic. But now that I am the emperor, I know that the world is difficult, and the real man does not say it with his mouth but by his hands.
"I have to think about this matter again, put it on hold for the time being, I will pay attention, maybe there will be a good candidate."
Empress Zhang saw that Zhu Youzhu couldn't raise any interest, so she didn't say anything more, and said, "Your Majesty, since you have finished reading the book, it is time to rest." ā
Zhu Youzhu snorted, and was just about to fall asleep, when there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside, but it was the eunuch who had gone back and forth to inquire about Cai Chang's news came back, and the eunuch fell to the ground and said, "Your Majesty ......"
Zhu Youzhu lay on the couch and said lightly: "Well, what's the matter, did you inquire about it?" ā
"Yes, I inquired about it, Cai Chang is going to go out of Beijing today, and he is outside Chaoyang Gate now."
"Since you have arrived at Chaoyangmen, why don't you leave?" Zhu Youzhu looked a little disgusted, he originally thought that if this Cai Chang died and didn't leave, he would have to tear his face and drive people away.
"Back to Your Majesty, the reason why Cai Chang can't stay is because ...... It's because there are so many people who send ......"
Zhu Youzhu suddenly became vigilant, a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes, and said, "Oh? You said. ā
"Chaoyangmen has exploded over there, many people spontaneously went to see each other, there are officials of the imperial court, there are also scholars who are rushing to take the exam in Beijing, there are hundreds of people, all say that this Cai Xianggong has a backbone, is a model for scholars, many people in order to see his demeanor, some from the inner city more than ten miles away."
Zhu Youzhu was shocked.
A person whose surname he named the evil villain was actually praised by the stars, and a dismissed leatherman became a hero in the eyes of the scholars, and they ...... What is this trying to do?
At this moment, Zhu Youzhu felt his chest tightened, panting heavily, and Empress Zhang on the side was startled, and hurriedly said: "Imperial doctor, imperial doctor......"
Zhu Youzhu grabbed the brocade quilt tightly, breathed rapidly, and said with all his strength: "Message: Cai Changgu is famous and famous, he seems to be loyal but has a ghost in his heart, so he ordered the brocade guard to take it quickly and torture him carefully." In addition, Liu Jian said in the book that he was old and dizzy, and he could no longer support Sheji, and I remembered his hard work and achievements, and allowed him to go home to rest for a while. ā
Zhu Youzhang's holy decree startled the eunuch, what kind of person is Liu Jian, this is Daming's God, not to mention anything else, the eunuch of the ceremonial supervisor Bingbi, and the grandfather of the Dongchang factory Xiao Gonggong are amazing, but when Gonggong Xiao saw Liu Jian, he had to avoid his edge, and he did not dare to neglect him in the slightest, but now, Liu Jian said that he will retire for the elderly, although the position of a cabinet scholar is still retained, but a word of recuperation is equivalent to completely squeezing him out of the decision-making circle.
Liu Jian is finished, and the entire court still doesn't want to turn the sky upside down?
But the holy decree has been issued, where did he dare to say anything, and immediately went to the celebrant to convey the emperor's meaning, this time Xiao Jing happened to be on duty in the ceremonial eunuch, listened to the words of the little eunuch, thought that he had heard it wrong, and after a long time, he exhaled and said lightly: "King Ning, this person, is really not to be underestimated." But then again, this matter has nothing to do with us, the power of the cabinet is too great, and people are overwhelmed. He asked someone to take pen and ink, immediately drafted an edict, and then asked someone to send it back to Kunning Palace to ask the emperor to take a look, and when the holy decree was sent from Kunning Palace, it had been stamped with the emperor's treasure seal.
Xiao Jing didn't dare to be ambiguous, of course he couldn't come forward with this kind of will, so he exchanged for a eunuch and ordered him to go directly to the cabinet.
And in the cabinet, I heard that there was a will, and the three major scholars in the cabinet were like frightened birds, they didn't expect that the will would come so quickly, and this Liu Jian's recital had just been handed over, but I don't know what His Majesty was thinking, but Li Dongyang had a bad premonition, because things were too abnormal.
After the eunuch read out the holy decree, the hearts of the three of them completely sank to the bottom, Liu Jian, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly aged ten years old, and his hands and feet were a little incessant, he was not in love with this position, for so many years, when it came to the first assistant of the cabinet, Liu Jian was the hardest, as he said in his resignation, "So he did his best, tried to report the effect, worked hard all night, and did not dare to say that there was nothing to lose", which really consumed all his efforts. But let him end up like this, is a fatal blow to him, a word of recuperation, it seems that there is still a scholar, in fact, it is only a matter of time before the name of the scholar is removed, from now on, he no longer has to enter the palace, no longer have to come to this cabinet duty, no longer have the qualifications to participate in government affairs, everything ...... It's all gone...... He knelt on the ground, did not move, and after a long time, he said with difficulty: "Old minister, thank you, Your Majesty is kind, old minister...... The old minister ......" The voice was a little choked, the love of the monarch and the minister reached this point, and I didn't expect such an ending.
Xie Qian knelt on the ground and said sharply: "Your Majesty, what does this mean, the cabinet can't do without Master Liu, this will must be passed on wrongly, I want to meet the emperor ......"
Li Dongyang didn't say anything, at this time he didn't have much joy in his heart, but felt even more worried, King Ning wanted to get rid of Liu Jian, it can be said that he tried his best, so in King Ning's plan, it would never be as simple as hitting Liu Jian, so what is the next step? It seems that this storm is really coming!
The eunuch replied to Xie Qian: "Master Xie, Your Majesty is already seriously ill, and you have already said that no one will see you." Now the imperial doctor is examining ......"
Liu Jian suddenly became excited, and said with a trembling mouth: "Your Majesty is seriously ill...... What is ...... disease?"
The eunuch said: "I have already fainted once, and the imperial doctors have not yet found out the cause. ā
