Forty-five, the storm is evil
Jian Huaizhen heard Zhu Qizhen's ominous tone, and knew that he must be angry in his heart that the children of Ling Xiao Pavilion were buried halfway and wanted to kidnap them.
But today, how can he tolerate such a disorderly and rebellious thing?
However, Zhu Qizhen was not angry, Jian Huaizhen felt in his heart that Zhu Qizhen was worthy of being quite a city, and after experiencing the treacherous and thrilling Luan Jialu Book incident, he could still maintain such a pretentious kung fu, and the demeanor of the Son of Heaven had not changed at all.
Jian Huaizhen secretly thought to himself in his heart: "The children of the Zhu family are all characters, and being able to ascend to the Great Treasure is one of the most powerful characters. However, this time, the disciples in the Lingxiao Pavilion led by the Lingxiao Pavilion to set up an ambush and intercept in the mountains was to clear the grievances of Lord Yu Qian, this kind of heroic act of righteousness is not something that other Jianghu characters can do, it is really admirable, this time it is necessary to try to solve it in front of the emperor and maintain the Lingxiao Pavilion well. ”
"What the emperor said is true, the disciples of Lingxiao Pavilion will be automatically killed, but does the emperor know why the disciples of Lingxiao Pavilion intercepted the emperor's Luan Jialu Book this time?"
Hearing this, Yingzong Zhu Qizhen was slightly stunned, when he was in danger, he hid inside the big horse chariot, and he didn't really hear anything about it outside, as for why the disciples of Lingxiao Pavilion wanted to intercept Luan Jialu, he was even more at a loss.
"I also wonder why so many Jianghu sects have found me, could it be that Yu Qian has colluded with the Jianghu forces to seize my country." Zhu Qizhen shook his head suspiciously and said.
Hearing this, not only was Jian Huaizhen surprised, but even Jiang Shaoheng, who was standing on his side to guard Emperor Zhu Qizhen, was also nervous.
"Saint, Huaizhen and Yu Qian have been friends with adults for many years, and now although Lord Yu has died, he still has not closed the coffin. However, it is certain that Yu Qian is upright and loyal to the court and the emperor, and will never be as conspiracy to usurp the throne as those gossip doctors said. Jian Huaizhen said with a solemn face.
It turned out that Shi Heng and the eunuch in charge of the palace were in cahoots, and after Yu Qian was imprisoned, the government and the opposition were shaken. The people voiced their grievances on behalf of Yu Qian, and Shi Heng, who was on the cusp of the limelight, had to let himself snared the imperial historian to fabricate charges and frame Yu Qian, so as to confuse the public, divert public opinion from the government and the opposition, and calm the people's anger. Of course, the most important point is to provoke Zhu Qizhen's murderous intentions, and through Zhu Qizhen's hands, cut off his biggest political enemy.
The gentleman can't fight the villain, after Zhu Qizhen received many pieces of imperial history, he strengthened his heart to behead Yu Qian, and as expected, he issued a holy decree to ask Yu Qian to behead.
"Is there any evidence for that?" Zhu Qizhen stared at Jian Huaizhen and asked.
Jian Huaizhen gritted his teeth and said: "There is no evidence, but Yu Qian once wrote a poem "Lime Yin", which has been tempered out of the deep mountains, and the fire is only waiting for leisure, and the broken bones are all ignored, and the green and white are left in the world." This poem is very similar to Yu Qian and adults. When Lord Yu was alive, he was an honest and honest official, cleared his wrongs, relieved himself of disasters, and was deeply loved by the people. When Lord Yu was appointed to supervise the imperial history patrol in Jiangxi, he made great efforts to rehabilitate the backlog of hundreds of unjust cases one by one, and the local people regarded him as Bao Qingtian alive and called him "Yu Longtu". Later, Lord Yu was promoted to the right servant of the military department, governor of Henan and Shanxi, and he did it himself, visiting his father and elders in the alleys, caring for the old and the young, helping the poor and helping the poor, building embankments and planting trees, and collecting all the fields that relied on power and private reclamation as official tun, attaching importance to production, subsidizing border funds, and helping the imperial court to guard the border passes. He has been in office for more than 19 years, and his prestige is so high that he is known all over the world. Later, the invasion of Wara, the critical juncture of the survival of the family and the country, Yu was ordered to enter Beijing in danger, and was appointed as the left squire of the military department. Although he was wronged by "rebellion", he did not change his will, and he was brave and loyal, who can do it? When Yu Qian died, the haze was all over, and the world was wronged, couldn't these emperors see it? ”
Hearing Jian Huaizhen's words, Zhu Qizhen's face changed greatly, and he knew in his heart that Yu Qian's death was not done by himself, but in the end, it should be his own, and the people of the world respect and love Yu Qian, but they are afraid that they will be better than his own son. Not to mention anything else, even these heroes of the rivers and lakes who are not afraid of death and the heroes of the green forest actually dare to do such a thing as a crime after hearing the news of Yu Qian's death, speaking of which Yu Qian is really the number one person in the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Qizhen felt a little bitter in his heart, and his mouth was even more astringent, he shook his lips and said: "These are not enough proof, if Yu Qian does not have the intention of seeking to usurp the throne, why should these people in the rivers and lakes who can't be beaten by eight bars behave like this." ”
At this time, standing in the corner of the house without speaking, Fang Xiao suddenly said: "Xiaomin guarantees that the adult will never have the heart of rebellion, when the court officials confiscated Yu Qian's house, Fang Yu was also present, and there is nothing of value in the adult's house, only the main room is very secure." After the officials opened it, they went inside to take a look, and there was nothing in it except for the reckless clothes, jade belts, and swords given by the first emperor. If Yu Daguo had the heart of rebellion, he would not be poor to this extent. ”
Hearing this, Zhu Qizhen couldn't help lowering his head slightly, he had also seen the recital in Yu Qian's house, and he didn't expect Yu Qian to be poor like that. Thinking about it in my heart, as I said, Yu Qian had no intention of usurping the throne, and the people in the rivers and lakes were afraid that they really admired Yu Qian before committing the crime.
Zhu Qizhen couldn't help but think of Yu Qian, this person is handsome, very good at talking, coupled with a loud voice and high spirits, he has the ambition of the world. Zhu Qizhen was a little envious of him, every time he played the right thing before, Yu Qian was very organized, seeking truth from facts, and the chapters on it were all about the rise and fall of ancient and modern chaos, which was clearly organized, and the words must be in the middle, and the articles were also a good hand. It's just that sometimes he is outspoken and says something hurtful, which makes Yingzong love and fear.
At that time, Zhu Qizhen definitely felt that Yu Qian had a strong personality, his talent was smooth and quick, and his thinking was meticulous and thoughtful, and no one in the court dared to catch up with him. In addition, he is simple and loyal, forgetting to worry about the country, so Yingzong also values him very much, and a meeting between monarchs and ministers back then is also a good story.
Zhu Qizhen was slightly dissatisfied with the fact that Yu Qian was too upright and lacked shortcomings. Yu Qian looked down on those cowardly and incompetent mediocre people in the court, so he made enemies in the court
Many, those princes and ministers felt that this person was too sharp and jealous. It was also a loss for him to serve as the secretary of the military department, when the Ming Dynasty was in internal and external difficulties, Yu Qian took the correct policy and gave strict orders, and finally resolved the crisis.
"I all know that Lord Yu is indeed a loyal minister." Zhu Qizhen finally changed his tone.
After a few words returned to the sky, Jian Huaizhen, Fang Xiao, and Jiang Shaoheng glanced at each other, and they all felt in their hearts that the clouds were open and the moon was bright, and Zhu Qizhen finally changed his mind.
I only heard Zhu Qizhen speak: "Lord Yu, the Jiangshan Sheji, and the people in the temple are all very meritorious, and I am not blind at this point, and I can see it." It's just that these days, there have always been people in the rivers and lakes who want to be unfavorable to me under the banner of revenge for Yu Qian, and I absolutely cannot tolerate such things. ”
Seeing that Zhu Qizhen's suspicion that Yu Qian and the people in the rivers and lakes colluded with the intention of usurping the throne had dissipated, Jian Huaizhen said: "Over the past few days, I have waited for the emperor to come here, and I have encountered a lot of dangers on the way. After dealing with these high-rollers, I learned that the disciples of Lingxiao Pavilion wanted to kidnap the emperor this time, but they just wanted the emperor to rehabilitate Lord Yu Qian, who had been wronged. ”
Hearing Jian Huaizhen's words, Zhu Qizhen had to speak: "I naturally understand that Lord Yu Qian will not rebel, and I also valued him very much during his lifetime, but the current situation in the court, I don't have much to do, Gonggong Xu is quite powerful, General Shi Heng is also cultivating wings, and now these two forces have become a big tail, if I rehabilitate Yu Qian at this juncture, I am afraid that the civil officials of the court will not be able to get through, so not only will it not help, maybe someone will take this opportunity, Take the opportunity to become bigger and cut off strong enemies. If the court is out of control, I am afraid that it will not benefit anyone. ”
After Zhu Qizhen finished saying these words, he also shook his head, and then lowered his head and said nothing.
Jian Huaizhen thought about it in his heart, and felt that Zhu Qizhen's words were not unreasonable, at present, the power of the imperial court is controlled by Shi Heng, and there is Gonggong Xu in the palace to control the fishing and hunting, and Yingzong's restoration is also thanks to the support of these two people, and now Zhu Qizhen still has some affection for these two people, and now he wants to redress Lord Yu Qianyu, which is really not the right time.
"The emperor is extremely worried, these people don't know the difficulties of the imperial court, so they will have such a reluctant request, if they can understand and understand the emperor's hardships, naturally they will not make such a request to the emperor." Jian Huaizhen smiled and said.
Hearing that Jian Huaizhen supported him so much, Zhu Qizhen, who was hanging his head silently, couldn't help but raise his head and said to Jian Huaizhen: "Our people from the Zhu family are really of one heart. There is no one who knows me more than Aiqing. ”
"Your Majesty, then again, now that the situation is forbidden, the emperor is forced by the resistance of the left and right, and there is no way to redress the grievances of Lord Yu Qian, I only hope that the emperor can remember that there are two groups of people in the rivers and lakes who are impacting Luan Jia today, and want to ask for the people's lives, so that the emperor can rehabilitate Lord Yu Qian." Jian Huaizhen said solemnly.
"This point I will naturally not forget, these days, I am also regretting in my heart, at that time I mistakenly believed in the traitor, and actually beheaded my Ming barrier, the pillar of the imperial court Yu Qian, speaking of which I am really confused, if I could have seen this in the past, Lord Yu would not have died." Zhu Qizhen's face was a little sad.
These words also have a history, Yu Qian for a while, there was a police on the northwest border, and when Waiyi saw that Lord Yu Qian died, there was no one who was good at using soldiers in the Ming court, so he was impatient to cross the border and plunder.
In such a situation, the princes in the court actually had nothing to do, and they were helpless, and there was no other way.
When the imperial expedition was right, Zhu Qizhen stood high on the top of the main hall, and consulted the court dignitaries below for the method of resistance, and those ministers and generals discussed it for a long time, and they did not discuss any strategies and methods.
Later, Zhu Qizhen was a little anxious, so he drank: "Who is willing to lead the army to fight." ”
No one answered.
Seeing this situation, Zhu Qizhen retreated to the second: "Who has a war strategy to retreat from the enemy." ”
As a result, they asked three times in a row, but there was still not a single squeak from the princes who knelt under the throne.
Zhu Qizhen asked his eunuchs to question on his behalf, but he didn't know who said: "If Lord Yu Qian is still alive, why is Kou Qiu here." ”
Hearing this, Zhu Qizhen was very angry in his heart, when Yu Qian was imprisoned, some people jumped and said that they could be killed.
But as soon as Yu Qian died, now the situation has changed, the foreign invaders, and there is no one in the Manchu Dynasty who can share his worries, so to speak, he has pulled out Yu Qian, who has died.
At that time, Zhu Qizhen scolded the civil and military officers of the Manchu Dynasty who lived in the class were all wine bags and rice bags, and they were very happy to scold the dogs who were scolded by the civil officials and military generals.
Of course, no one replied, Zhu Qizhen scolded for a while, and went back to the palace with a belly full of anger.
After returning to the palace, he thought about it carefully and understood the benefits of Yu Qian. Just as I don't know what the minister said, as soon as Yu Qian left, the border defense that he had rectified in the past fell into the hands of his successor Shangshu of the Ministry of War. Only by letting the other party drive straight in, speaking of these things is the benefit of Yu Qian, but why didn't he feel good when Yu Qian was there, and now that Yu Qian died, Zhu Qizhen knew that Yu Qian was really the barrier of the Ming Dynasty, the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty.
Now that the Si people are gone, they have to think of another way to resist foreign enemies.
Therefore, Yingzong felt guilty about Yu Qian's death in his heart, but even so, he still had a good face, and he was unwilling to admit his mistake in front of the subjects of the world, saying that he had killed Yu Qian wrong.
Of course, there is another reason, Gonggong Xu and Shi Hengxin are in collusion, embarrassed, and have cultivated great power in the palace and the court, and even the emperor must not carefully consider whether it will bring accidents to himself if he is rehabilitated by Yu Qian.
After all, their throne was won by these two people, and if they joined forces to make another change to seize the door, the emperor would not have enough power in his hands.
Based on this consideration, Zhu Qizhen felt that it was okay to rehabilitate Yu Qian, but it was really not a good time now. After all, for the emperor, he also has to consider the stability of the court and the calm of the situation, if it is for Yu Qian's business, it may not be a good thing to make too much movement.
"If the emperor really has this heart, Lord Yu Qian can also be blind under the nine springs, no matter what the situation is, as long as this thought remains in his heart, he can give it to Lord Yu Qian one day
Settle the snow grievances. Jian Huaizhen said to the emperor.
"I also have this intention in my heart, Lord Yu Qian is dead, and I am also extremely sad, but the big mistake has been made, and now it is too late to regret it, for me Gong, like all Aiqing, I want to return Lord Yu Qian to justice, but this matter cannot be rushed for a while, and we need to wait for the opportunity." Zhu Qizhen said to Jian Huaizhen.
When Jiang Shaoheng heard this, he also nodded from the side and responded: "What the emperor said is very true. When the country was in danger, Lord Yu Qian was able to defend the society from overthrowing, and he was able to stand up for public opinion and uphold the right path alone, so that he was envied by the traitorous ministers, and after his death, the emperor now knows Yu Qian's grievances and pities his loyalty, and he is a saint. The current situation is like this, and we can't make it too difficult for the emperor. ”
Hearing Jiang Shaoheng's words, Zhu Qizhen's face was pleased: "What Jiang Aiqing said is not bad, if you want to clear your grievances for Lord Yu Qian, you have to judge the situation and not do it overnight." Nowadays, the imperial court forces are complex, and some of them are even more intertwined, and I am a little helpless against these forces. rashly proposed to rehabilitate Lord Yu Qian, if they oppose it, they are afraid that it will cause political turmoil. However, if I really have such an opportunity in the future, I will definitely give Yu Qian a good nickname, give him a piece of feng shui treasure, and let the local officials worship every year. ”
Referring to the emperor's words, Jian Huaizhen was also extremely moved, she knew in her heart that the emperor's suspicion of Yu Qian had already dissipated, as long as nothing went wrong in the future, Yu Qian's family and descendants could be preserved.
"The saint is wise, if Lord Yu Qian is still in the world, listening to the saint's remarks, it is enough to comfort. As long as the saint can remember Lord Yu who has the people in his heart, everything will be several times better. Jian Huaizhen spoke.
Hearing this, Zhu Qizhen also said with a straight face: "Aiqing, rest assured, I also want to be a good emperor who loves the people." ”
Jiang Shaoheng and Jian Huaizhen also looked happy when they heard Zhu Qizhen's words. Only Fang Xiao was still silent.
Jian Huaizhen glanced at Fang Liao, and knew in his heart that the feud between Fang Xiao and the Zhu family was too deep and too big, and it was already an unprecedented event to be able to ask him to go out to protect the emperor this time, and if he wanted to reconcile with the royal family, he was afraid that it would not be possible for a while.
With this thought in his heart, Jian Huaizhen said to Zhu Qizhen: "It's not too early, please rest in peace." I'm going to be on my way tomorrow. ”
When the emperor heard this, he bowed his head slightly and agreed.
Jian Huaizhen took Fang Xiao and Jiang Shaoheng to bid farewell to the emperor and left the house together.
After leaving the house, Jian Huaizhen arranged for the disciples of the confession gate and the candle shadow to guard the periphery of the post station, so that they would come to know whenever there was any trouble.
Hearing Jian Huaizhen's command, those disciples naturally did not dare to slack off, and each set up a secret post.
As soon as he finished ordering such matters, the saber minister also rushed to ask for instructions, and after the two discussed and arranged a proper escort, Jian Huaizhen went back to his room to rest.
After nightfall, Jian Huaizhen didn't dare to sleep peacefully.
She knew in her heart that although the two major sects of Lingxiao Pavilion and Heaven and Sect had dealt with the past, there was still a wave of people who had not appeared, and this wave of people had not yet appeared.
After blowing out the candles, Jian Huaizhen lay down with a sword and clothes, and listened to the movement outside.
In the middle of the night, he suddenly heard the sound of swords striking outside, Jian Huaizhen hurriedly picked up his sword and went out to take a look, only to see that Fang Xiao and Jiang Shaoheng had already fought with two black-clothed masked men.
The enemy Fang Xiao was facing was slim, seemed to be a woman, and his attack was indeed fast and ruthless, and Jian Huaizhen had a sense of déjà vu.
The masked man Jiang Shaoheng fought had excellent martial arts, and the two fought without a win.
