Chapter 210: I'm the Emperor, Who I'm Afraid of
Chapter 210
"It's not simple, Sister Huang is interested, so I asked Song Nan to teach Sister Pope how to play that golf, but skiing needs winter snow, I also want to play, after the snow falls this winter, let Song Nan teach us is." Zhengde said with a smile.
Song Nan was silent, Zhengde noticed that Song Nan's mood was a little wrong, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Song Nan sighed: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid the minister can't teach the princess and the emperor to ski and play ball." ”
Zhengde said: "Why? ”
Song Nan said: "If the minister is on these things on the pope again, I'm afraid that the cabinet scholars and officials of the six ministries will not spare me, the minister heard that the six ministers of the cabinet want the emperor to kill Liu Jin and others, the reason is to instigate the emperor to play around, there is a lesson from the previous car, how dare the minister go to the pope again." ”
Princess Kang Ning said: "Those games on the Pope of Lord Song are all serious games, and they are also good for physical fitness, how can they attract criticism from the outside court?" ”
Song Nan said: "I'm afraid it's hard to tell." ”
Zhengde's face darkened, and he said hatefully: "These people are really hateful, I am the emperor, and I am controlled everywhere, my behavior is indeed a little inappropriate, but in fact, I am deliberately like this, the more unhappy they are, the more comfortable I feel; So, although I know that there are some things that should not be done, I just have to do them. ”
Song Nan sighed: "The emperor's difficulties are well known, but it is not easy for things to get to this point. ”
Zhengde said: "I am also very embarrassed, I didn't expect them to make such a fuss, and I don't know what to do, maybe it is better to give up Liu Jin and them and let them stop fighting." ”
Song Nan said: "How the emperor decides, Weichen naturally has no right to speak; It's just that the minister has some thoughts in his heart that he wants to tell the emperor, and I don't know if the emperor is willing to listen to it. ”
Zhengde said: "I want to hear your opinion on this matter, but it doesn't hurt for you to say." ”
Song Nan thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, Liu Jin and others can certainly be killed, but the emperor has not thought about it, after killing Liu Jin and others, the emperor will probably be controlled by others from now on." ”
Zhengde frowned and said, "You mean that I will be subject to the outer court?" ”
Song Nan said: "Obviously, the civil officials are not targeting Liu Jin and others, they are just using this to force the emperor to fulfill their wishes." Of course, Liu Jin did instigate the emperor to do a lot of things that should not be done, but forgive the ministers for courage, these things are all favored by the emperor, and they have also been approved by the emperor. In this way, who will take the emperor's words seriously in the future? Who will treat the emperor sincerely? ”
Zhengde frowned and said, "When you say that, it seems to be true." ”
Song Nan said: "I'm afraid that the minister will enter the palace today, and if he is not summoned by the emperor in the future, he will not enter the palace, not that the minister is unwilling to accompany the emperor, but that the minister is afraid of offending the outer court and being classified as a minister." The minister also has a little old mother, and the minister doesn't want to be impeached for being a substitute for the dead, like Liu Jin and them, the death is not clear. ”
Zhengde smacked his lips and said: "You blame me for giving up Liu Jin and them, but these ministers are so troublesome, I can't bear it; After all...... After all, they are all important ministers of the court, and I am a little panicked. ”
Song Nan said softly: "The minister can only say that you are the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and you don't have to be afraid of anyone; The minister believes that if the emperor deliberately frolicks and has fun in the palace because of vomiting with the outer court, it is actually the Jiangshan Sheji of the Ming Dynasty who is hurting; The emperor ignores the government affairs, the government affairs are wasted, the national order is inevitably chaotic, and the common people are damaged by the disaster; The officials of the outer court persecuted the emperor like this, which was also an absurd act of ignoring the people of the world; Of course, the emperor can punish Liu Jin and them, but the outer court should also be punished for ignoring the stability of the society. ”
Zhengde's eyes lit up, and he straightened his chest and said: "Yes, I am the emperor, and the whole world belongs to my Zhu family, why should I be afraid of them?" ”
Song Nan said: "Your Majesty, the ministers said things that should not be said, in fact, there are also ministers who are worried about the country, and the emperor can't completely ignore their feelings; If the emperor wants to control the ministers, he needs to start from himself and convince the officials. ”
Zhengde said: "But I insisted on keeping Liu Jin's life in the early dynasty and sent them to the Nanjing Imperial City on an errand, I felt that it was the best of both worlds, and I also took care of the face of the ministers, but they did not give up." ”
Princess Kangning suddenly said: "The emperor can issue an edict, if they don't follow it, it is their fault, then it is not the emperor's fault, first salute and then soldier, if the emperor's will is not obeyed, these ministers are too disagreeable." ”
Song Nan was inconvenient to speak, and he also hoped that this matter could be resolved peacefully, not too big, if there were acquaintances among the ministers, they should each take a step back and settle the matter, if they didn't know each other, then it would be difficult to say.
"You're right, Song Nan, you go to the cabinet office to spread the word for me, and say that I am determined to do so, look at what Li Dongyang and they say."
Song Nan said: "It's not appropriate for the minister to go. ”
Zhengde said: "Why? ”
Song Nan said: "Don't hide it from the emperor, among the impeachment targets of the civil officials, there is me, a small brocade-clothed guard general." ”
Zhengde said angrily: "Why are you involved? ”
Song Nan smiled bitterly: "Saying that I am Liu Jin's party, it is all because of the last time I handled the case of Fan Heng and Wang Yue, after Wang Yue and Fan Heng were greedy for ink and silver, Liu Jin and they benefited the most, so they came to the conclusion that I intended to let Liu Jin and others take charge of the inner court, isn't it Liu Jin and their party?" ”
Zhengde scolded angrily, walked a few steps on the grass and said: "It's just a bunch of mad dogs, Wang Yue Fan Heng is my great sinner, shouldn't you find out the evidence and bring them down?" I have figured it out, and the people close to me don't like it, and I can't bear it anymore. ”
Song Nan hurriedly said: "The emperor is angry, the minister is not here to ask the emperor to help me support me, I am a small brocade guard four-grade official, and there is no big mistake, the big deal is to lose this official hat, it is better not to make extraneous branches, at present they are staring at Liu Jin and others." ”
Zhengde said: "Don't I understand? After killing Liu Jin and the others, it will be your turn, you don't care, I understand everything, and I will send someone to spread the word; Song Nan, you stay in the palace and see how I clean them up. ”
Zhengde angrily drove out of the garden; On the grass, Song Nan and Princess Kang Ning were left looking at each other.
Princess Kangning sighed and said, "Lord Song, this is the first time that this palace has seen the emperor's appearance, why is the emperor so angry when it comes to the matter involving you?" ”
Song Nan said: "Maybe the emperor thinks I'm wronged." ”
Princess Kangning tilted her head and asked, "Is Lord Song wronged?" ”
Song Nan was stunned for a moment, looked up at her, Princess Kangning looked at herself with a smile, with a hint of ridicule on her delicate and beautiful face.
Song Nan scratched his head and said: "I admit that Xiaguan did help Liu Jin, but today Xiaguan is not only here for his own safety and Liu Jin's safety; The emperor treats me well, I can't bear to see the emperor sink down, and I don't want to see the emperor being forced by some people to be depressed, the emperor is actually a smart person, but the civil officials are too old-fashioned, what the emperor lacks is self-confidence, as a good friend of the emperor, I can't help but say something. In fact, I rarely talk to the emperor about this. ”
Princess Kangning stretched out her hand and pulled off a chrysanthemum on the grass, sniffed it on the tip of her nose, looked at Song Nan with her eyes and smiled: "Even if you confess, the emperor is playful and troublesome, and he really needs to be advised, I hope you can really become his good friend and help him become a good emperor." ”
Song Nan didn't dare to look at Kang Ning's beautiful appearance, and arched his hand: "The minister doesn't have that ability, the minister is just a martial artist." ”
Kang Ning smiled and said: "I don't want to care about the affairs between you men, I just want to ask you, when will you have time to teach me to play that golf?" ”
Song Nan stammered: "Time for official business...... You can come and wait for the princess. ”
Kang Ning stared intently at Song Nan's handsome face and said: "You have to talk and count, you are not allowed to be perfunctory, you must know the way, this palace does not like people to perfunctory me." ”
Song Nan said: "Don't dare." ”
Kang Ning was about to walk, suddenly stopped and looked back and said with a light smile: "The emperor is actually good friends with you, but it's also funny, you actually admit it, you need to know that no one dares to call the emperor friends; Since you can make friends with the emperor, it just so happens that this palace also wants to have a friend, why don't we make friends too? ”
Song Nan said again: "Don't dare." ”
Princess Kangning smiled, walked out of the garden, and whispered in the wind: "It's decided, the name of the palace is Zhu Xiufu, and the palace knows that your name is Song Nan, from today on, we will be friends." ”
Song Nan watched Zhu Xiufu disappear into the rockery surrounded by several palace maids, Zhu Xiufu's bright eyes and smiling face flashed in her heart, and she actually had the intention of relying on her heart, and hurriedly reminded herself secretly: Don't think nonsense, that's the princess, and the name of this princess is really earthy.
