Zhengde frowned and was silent, since this period of time, his ears have been stuffed with a lot of dangerous remarks about Song Nan, Empress Dowager Zhang is serious, Yang Ting and analysis are incisive, and everyone analyzes Song Nan's behavior to Zhengde; Raising the matter of Song Nan and the princess to the height of unscrupulous contempt for imperial power, and this qiē really made Zhengde extremely angry and panicked.

Although Zhengde is a so-so emperor, he is also a half-idiot in politics, or if he doesn't have the blood of Emperor Hongzhi in his body, he is actually only suitable to be a son of a rich family and enjoy his life.

But since he is sitting on the dragon throne, since he is in charge of this country, he has certainly done absurd and stubborn things, and he is also happy to do some willful and reckless things, but as an emperor, like all emperors throughout the ages, imperial power is his bottom line, and whoever dares to threaten his throne and who dares to despise his imperial power, he will not hesitate to strangle it.

This is an almost innate instinct, and it is also the result of the indoctrination of the former emperor and the Empress Dowager Zhang, the lecturers of the East Palace, and the divine right of the monarch, he is the son of heaven.

Since Zhengde ascended the throne, there have been a lot of major events, several of which have come to subvert his throne, and Zhengde has been ruthless in dealing with some things; Liu Liu, Liu Qi. After the rebellion, although the imperial court once said that the thieves surrendered themselves in the past, in fact, after tens of thousands of thieves surrendered, nearly 300,000 people and their families were degraded and degraded, and tens of thousands of them were killed on the street. The fact that people's heads are rolling is to tell the people of the world that whoever dares to think will die.

The same is true of King Qing's lineage, almost all the men of King Qing's line who were implicated because of King Anhua were executed, if it weren't for Song Nan's merit, King Qingding, who obviously didn't have any climate, would have lost his little head. The principle is the same, shock and warn the people of the world, and the crooked mind cannot be moved.

Liu Jin's matter, although Zhengde had great doubts on the evidence, he still resolutely dealt with it decisively, killed Liu Jin with a clear attitude, and now there is another Song Nan, although this person is not a rebellion, but his behavior has touched the bottom line, and it is not an exaggeration to call it contempt for imperial power.

However, Zhengde has an extremely complex emotion for Song Nan, Zhengde misses the old, Zhengde values affection, Zhengde is actually a good person, as long as the bottom line is not touched, Zhengde will never consider how to treat Song Nan. For Zhengde, from the day he ascended the throne, he had a special sense of closeness in his heart. As Song Nan dealt with crisis after crisis for Zhengde, this sense of closeness rose to a sense of dependence, as if as long as Song Nan was there, he could sit back and relax.

Because of this, when this incident happened, the anger and panic in Zhengde's heart were also unprecedented, no less than the disappointment in his heart on the day he found out the dragon robe from Liu Jin's mansion. In his heart, he always wanted to know the real purpose of Song Nan's audacity, whether he really despised himself, whether he had other intentions in his heart, or some other hidden secrets. The personal relationship between Kang Ning and Song Nan is actually secondary, and what Zhengde wants to know is whether Song Nan is so presumptuous because of his different ambitions.

If you want to figure out this qiē, it is not a holy decree or an edict that can be solved, and the military power in his hands has become the most worrying thing, and Zhengde never wants to make things worse.

However, tonight Song Nan brought a roast duck into the palace to see him, reminiscing about the past, confessing everything in a light voice, and asking for resignation after taking the blame, Zhengde suddenly felt that his suspicion of Song Nan was too trivial?

Song Nan didn't have half a word of justification from beginning to end, and there was no half a word of shirk about the matter between him and Princess Kangning, he only said frankly that he couldn't help but make a big mistake, thinking of the previous entanglement between Kangning and Song Nan, Zhengde even suspected that Song Nan was entangled by his wayward imperial sister and couldn't get out; Back then, the imperial sister and Song Nan had a discussion about marriage, and then the imperial sister suddenly announced that she was not satisfied with Song Nan, and then she was seriously ill, and she didn't come back to life until Song Nan went to see her, and there must have been an entangled entanglement between the two since then.

And what Zhengde was most worried about was actually the military power in Song Nan's hands, but after Song Nan said that he would hand over all the military power, and even expressed his willingness to kill the whole family, Zhengde immediately became suspicious of the words that the Queen Mother, Yang Ting and their directors had said. They said that Song Nan would definitely not give up his military power, and he wanted to try it slowly so as not to cause Song Nan to be in turmoil, but judging from the current situation, Song Nan was not as they said at all.

Zhengde was silent for a long time, he didn't know what kind of decision he should make that was the most appropriate, he didn't want Song Nan to be another intimate person who left him, so that there would be no one around him who could tell the truth; But he can't help but make a decision in this matter, and Song Nan can't help but punish him, and his behavior is not wronged.

Song Nan slowly took off his hat, slowly took off his official uniform, and took off all the symbols of power and status on his body, and put them on the case together with the seals of the three officials, and said in a low voice: "The emperor doesn't have to be embarrassed, the emperor will never forget the kindness of the minister, but this time the minister did make a big mistake, and the minister is willing to accept all the punishments." The minister still said the same thing, after punishing the minister, the matter was stopped, and the princess's reputation was ruined. ”

Zhengde was still silent, squinting at the things on the case.

"The emperor will give the ministers a good time, the ministers know that it is difficult for the emperor to make a decision when he thinks of the old feelings, but the emperor thinks about the overall situation, if the emperor does not punish the ministers, I am afraid that some people will refuse to take a break."

This sentence said to Zhengde's heart, just now Yang Tinghe came to see the driver, and he was talking about this matter, and almost every day the Queen Mother has to tell herself about it, it is impossible not to punish Song Nan, but it is even more impossible to kill Song Nan, once Zhengde determines that Song Nan does not have any so-called dissent, it is not that he despises himself, but ' I can't help but 'make a mistake, I can't have murderous intent towards Song Nan, this person in front of me is a person who has helped him many times, and he is also a person he privately calls a friend, he is now standing in front of him, handing over all his power to ask for his own punishment, and the anger and worry in Zhengde's heart are disappearing little by little.

"Song Nan, no matter what, you made a big mistake this time, of course I will punish you heavily. I ask you, how do you plan to deal with your relationship with the imperial sister? Is it to divorce the lord of Shuyi to marry the imperial sister, or what are you going to do? ”

Song Nan said in a low voice: "The lord of Shuyi is not at fault, and the minister can't do this." ”

"Okay, from today onwards, you are not allowed to meet with the imperial sister again, I will immediately find a candidate for the imperial sister to choose a concubine, and you must not interfere with it. If you dare to do it again, I will kill your whole family. Zhengde Senran said.

Song Nan was speechless, so he could only nod his head.

"You have meritorious service to the court, and I remember those things, but I can't condone you nonsense; You are the commander of the second army, the position of the commander of the Shenshu battalion will be dismissed, and you will be retained as the commander of the Jinyi Guard, do you understand what I mean? ”

"Thank you Emperor Longen, the minister understands." Of course, Song Nan understood what Zhengde meant, and retaining the position of the commander of the Jinyi Guard was to show that Zhengde still trusted him, and to remove him from the post of commander of the Second Foreign Army and the commander of the Shenshu Battalion, it was not only to alleviate the worries in Zhengde's heart, but also to gag the mouths of others, and only by making huge concessions could they calm down.

"This matter can't be publicized too much, the reason for your dismissal ......"

"The minister will play the court tomorrow morning, saying that he is sick and cannot take care of the military affairs of the Second Foreign Army and the Shenshu Battalion, so he will resign." Song Nan said busily.

Zhengde nodded slowly: "Okay, let's do it." Serve me a bowl of duck soup, I'm a little thirsty. ”

Song Nan came forward and brought a bowl of duck rack soup that had been boiled into milky white slowly, and Zhengde lay on the desk, and Xili, who didn't raise his head, snorted.

Song Nan stood aside, cold sweat was dripping on the spine behind him, he knew that today's strategy of retreating was a success, but the price paid was also huge, almost returned to before the liberation, and the two major barracks in his hands were all lost.

But Song Nan was glad that this incident did not affect Zhengde's trust in himself after all, judging from Zhengde's appearance, if it weren't for blocking someone's tongue, he wouldn't have punished himself so harshly. And this qiē is the result of someone piercing the matter between himself and Corning. This time, it was the Queen Mother and Yang Tinghe who teamed up to attack themselves, and it was already a good ending to survive.

Song Nan secretly decided that after this incident, he needed to keep Taoguang in obscurity for a while, and he was not afraid of anything, and these people who dealt with him would not be able to let go in the future.
