Chapter One Hundred and Two

In the Yunge Inn, a thin man sat by the window with a copy of "Xunzi" in his hand, reading it very seriously. Occasionally, when he looked at something he didn't understand, he would tilt his head sideways and think about it for a while, and then continue to look down after he had figured it out.

The door of ......the room was pushed open, and an old man came in.

The old man closed the door with his backhand, and then said, "Lord Wang, he went to He's mansion and said something to Mrs. He." ”

"Oh?" The thin man turned the book over the page, without raising his head, and asked, "What did you say?" “

The Yunge Inn is not very big in Beijing, and there are not many dignitaries and nobles living in it, and there is only one prince. Then offer the king, Zhu Youqi. Since the thin man is Zhu Youqi, the old man standing opposite him is naturally Fu Bo.

Fu Bo said: "Jiang Xia said to Mrs. He......"

If Jiang Xia was here, he would definitely be very surprised, because Fu Bo had almost repeated what he had said to Madame He word for word, as if he had been there at the time.

After listening to Fu Bo's retelling of Jiang Xia's words, Zhu Youqi smiled faintly, and he nodded: "This is an extremely smart person, and he can see the key to breaking the game at a glance." ”

"Maybe it's not him who sees it, but maybe there's a tall finger behind his back." Fauber said.

"Master?" Zhu Youqi closed the book, he raised his head and said, "You said Li Dongyang?" ”

"It is also possible that Li Dongyang has gone through Yingzong, Xianzong, Xiaozong and the current four dynasties, and can be regarded as a powerful figure. However, the older he gets, the more famous he becomes, and the more he does things, the more tied he becomes, I guess he won't guide Jiang Xia to go to He Mansion to find Mrs. He at this cusp, so it is undeniable that this Jiang Xia is also an interesting character. ”

"So what now? He had already found Li Yun, if she was moved by Jiang Xia's words, then ......" Fu Bo said worriedly.

"She can't be moved by Jiang Xia's words." Zhu Youqi picked up the book of "Xunzi" again, and said while flipping through the book: "How can a dead person be moved by a living person? ”

"The slave and maid understand." With that, Fauber left the inn.

Zhu Youqi continued to look at the book in his hand, and then the sunlight outside the window could be seen clearly, he was reading the sexual evil chapter of "Xunzi", and the first sentence at the beginning of it was "Human nature is evil, and its good ones are hypocritical." ”

The meaning of this statement is that human nature is actually evil, and those good deeds are just deliberate human behavior. And this sentence seems to be more applicable to Zhu Youqi.

Jiang Xia had speculated that the rumors in the market would soon be known to the Chinese military officials, and then the civil and military officials would put pressure on Zhu Houzhao. This guess is correct, but it is also wrong.

Yes, the civil and military officials will naturally know it quickly, and they will naturally not tolerate the current situation getting worse and worse. But what is wrong is that the civil and military officials will not go together to put pressure on Zhu Houzhao, and they dare not and will not do so. This kind of thing touching a tiger's ass is obviously something that only big men can do.

Who are the big guys? Obviously, the seven ministers in the cabinet are big men, but after Li Dongyang became a minister, there were only six ministers left in the cabinet for the time being. In order to make up the number of seven, the six ministers of the cabinet also brought Mao Wenju together.

Some people may ask why you must make up the number seven. In fact, it is very simple, if everyone can't decide at the end of the day, when you need to vote, seven is an odd number to facilitate the result.

The seven ministers went to the Qianqing Palace to see Zhu Houzhao, and Zhu Houzhao naturally knew the purpose of their visit, so at first they all let Zhang Yong say that he was resting and did not meet with the seven ministers.

However, the seven ministers were obviously determined to see Zhu Houzhao, so they waited outside the Qianqing Palace for more than two hours. Zhu Houzhao couldn't shirk it, and finally met with seven ministers.

After entering the Qianqing Palace, Yang Yiqing, a scholar of Wuyingdian University, first told Zhu Houzhao about the rumors in the market, although his words had been as tactful as possible, but Zhu Houzhao was still furious.

"Bang!" Zhu Houzhao kicked the long case in front of him and flew out, and he roared: "What can I do to arrange those Diao people? Zhang Yong! “

Zhang Yong, who was guarding outside the Qianqing Palace, immediately entered the palace and knelt on the ground: "The slave is here!" “

"It is rumored that the commander of the Jinyi Guard entered the palace to see the driver, and I want to ask him, what is he doing with this Jinyi Guard commander? If you are incompetent, then go home and farm immediately, and don't stand in the way of capable people doing errands for me. “

"Yes!" Zhang Yong replied and immediately retreated.

Zhu Houzhao glanced at the seven ministers, and he asked coldly, "How?" Why did you come here today to see me? Do you want to ask me if I'm a good man, and if I have a habit of breaking my sleeves and splitting peaches? “

Zhu Houzhao's words were full of murderous aura, it is conceivable that if anyone says the word "yes" at this time, I am afraid that the next result will be the fall of the head.

Where did the seven ministers dare to stand in place, they all knelt down together and said in unison: "Wechen has no such intention, Wechen is afraid, and the emperor is angry." “

Zhu Houzhao looked at the seven ministers coldly, he sat on the dragon chair with a golden sword, and asked by name: "Yang Yiqing, you told me, what do you mean by coming today?" “

Yang Yiqing took a deep breath, and after a moment of silence, he said: "The people in the market are ignorant and ignorant, and they only know that people are like clouds. But the three of them became tigers, and everyone was golden. It is better to be sparse than to be blocked. Inevitably, the wisdom of the saint was damaged, and the ministers thought that Jiangxia could be openly judged, with the canon of the law of the Ming Dynasty, and the prestige of the sage under His Majesty of the Ming Dynasty. “

Yang Yiqing's words were very skillful, and what he probably meant was that "those ordinary people are ignorant and ignorant, and some things that are not there may be taken seriously if they are passed on." In order not to make this matter more and more intense, simply get Jiang Xia out for public interrogation, which also shows that the law of the Ming Dynasty is fair, and the emperor's wise name will not be damaged. ”

This remark is basically in line with Zhu Houzhao, he first said that the people are ignorant, which shows that he firmly believes that this thing is false. Then from Zhu Houzhao's point of view, he came up with such an idea for Zhu Houzhao.

But Yang Yiqing didn't know what to say, and his sentence of "blatant trial" happened to hit Zhu Houzhao's heart. If he is willing to get Jiang Xia out for public trial, then where is there so much to do now.

Zhu Houzhao yelled: "Bastard! ”

Yang Yiqing suddenly froze, and his neck shrank.

Zhu Houzhao said angrily: "I am the king of a country, not the angry little daughter-in-law of an ordinary family. Do I still need to make a gesture to prove my prestige? My prestige is to make them understand that the wrath of the Son of Heaven will ambush millions of corpses and shed thousands of miles of blood! ”

"Your Majesty, think twice. As the saying goes, 'The king is like a boat, the people are like water, whoever can carry the boat can also cover the ......" Fei Hong opened his mouth in a hurry and said Tang Taizong's famous words for the king.

But he did not understand that such things could only be said by the king himself, and not by his courtiers. When Zhu Houzhao heard this, his eyes almost burst into flames, and he stood up and kicked Fei Hong to the ground without saying a word.

Zhu Houzhao squatted down and looked at Fei Hong and said, "What do you mean by this?" You mean to tell me that if I don't prove it to them, they will dare to rebel against me? Are you threatening me? ”

"The emperor is angry, the emperor is angry. Wei Chen had no such intention, no such intention......" Fei Hong exclaimed in panic.

Zhu Houzhao snorted coldly, then stood up, he waved his hand and said, "Get out, I don't want to see you." ”

"Emperor..."Liu Zhong opened his mouth to say something, but Zhu Houzhao suddenly shouted: "Get out!" ”

"Wechen retired." After saying that, the seven ministers left one after another.

Out of the Qianqing Palace, Cao Yuan couldn't help but say: "The emperor has his own thoughts, my emperor Shengming, why do you have to let the emperor put the Jiangxia on trial, anger Longwei, how worthless." ”

"Yes. Don't pull me on this kind of thing in the future. Liang Chu also said.

Fei Hong, who had just been scared half to death, as if he had just come back after a circle in the ghost gate, did not speak. But Yang Yiqing couldn't help but say, "What? You are waiting to enjoy the vast imperial grace, but now you want to watch the emperor being slandered by the world? ”

"Those who are clear are self-purifying, and those who are turbid are self-turbid. In the final analysis, this matter is also the emperor's own business, and we really need to say more. Jin Gui said lightly, and then left.

Mao Wenju glanced at the six of them, sneered and left.

It's just that his sneer made Yang Yiqing and the six of them blush, after all, the six of them belonged to the representatives of civilian officials, and at this moment, they were arguing endlessly in front of Mao Wenju, a military attache representative, as if there was a feeling of infighting.

And at this moment, outside the right door of the palace, Jiang Xia was standing there entangled with the palace guards.

Jiang Xia first took a large amount of treasure money out to bribe the guards, indicating that he wanted to see the emperor and begged for a message. The guards did not agree, nor did they dare to collect the treasure money.

Then Jiang Xia then took out the Dongchang secret agent token that Liu Jin gave him and showed it to the guards, although the guards were startled, they still didn't let Jiang Xia in.

After the last moment, Jiang Xia suddenly remembered, and he took out a token from the money bag again and showed it to the guards.

It was also a copper token with the words "Leopard Fang Tianzi No. 1" written on it.

Seeing this token, the guards immediately knelt down on one knee and saluted, "See the emperor." ”

"Huh?" Jiang Xia was slightly stunned: "It turns out that this token belongs to the second child." ”

But when he thought about it, Jiang Xia was relieved, he heard Zhang Yong say that Zhu Houzhao liked the leopard room more than the palace. He often said that the leopard room was his home, and the person who could use the "Tianzi No. 1" as a token in the leopard room was naturally Zhu Houzhao.

Jiang Xia immediately said: "Okay, since you have seen this token, then you will know that I know the emperor, take me to see the emperor quickly, I have something important to discuss with the emperor." ”

"Yes, my subordinates obey." After one of the guards answered, he immediately got up and led Jiang Xia towards the palace.

PS: Thank you for knowing the big monthly pass support you know, it's 2:30 in the morning at the moment, and the tiger updates a chapter before going to bed. With such hard work, can anyone applaud and support it? Or are there warriors willing to collect and red tickets to show their support?
