The emperor's heart is in turmoil!

This is the judgment made by Yang Tinghe.

He can already feel that this moody and temperamental son of heaven has begun to tremble, from the beginning, Jiajing has indeed impressed him, he is scheming at a young age, insightful, and extremely smart. However, Yang Tinghe still didn't take him seriously, because compared to him, the head of the cabinet who had been in the sea for decades, Jiajing was still too tender.

However, Yang Tinghe's temperament wanted to be cautious, his eyes flashed, and he said: "As for that Xu Qian, let people stare at it at any time, this person, according to the old man, it is not simple, his every move must be reciprocated." ”

Mao Ji smiled bitterly: "It's strange here, Xu Qian hasn't moved at all these days, and he only reads at home every day." ”

Yang Tinghe frowned and said slowly: "Just reading? This person has always been easy to cause trouble, and he has to roll up a three-foot wave when there is no wind, but now he obediently stays at home and reads, which is strange, and no one has been in contact with him during this period? There are usually some people in his family. ”

Mao Ji was silent for a moment, and said: "There is a pseudonym He Xinyin, but he has always been at his house, I have investigated, this person's surname is Liang, his original name is Liang Ruyuan, and he is a native of Yongfeng, Ji'an." ”

Yang Tinghe said in surprise: "Yongfeng Liang family? How did Xu Qian have something to do with the Liang family? ”

Mao Jidao: "I have already sent someone to inquire." ”

Yang Tinghe nodded, as if he felt that something was wrong, and asked, "What about Ruyi Fang?" What does Ruyifang do? ”

Mao Ji smiled coldly and said: "I don't see any moves, after this incident started, Ruyifang has been crumbling, and there are very few businessmen who usually patronize it again, these businessmen have always been seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, and I heard that Ruyifang caused trouble." It's gone. ”

Yang Tinghe couldn't help but laugh dumbly, and said: "You can't succeed by relying on businessmen, it's okay, it's good to stare at it, if you want to come for more than half a month, or as little as three or five days, Your Majesty will succumb, and then give Your Majesty a step, you and I are still courtiers after all." ”

Mao Ji nodded. Suddenly remembered something, and said: "Jingzhi has been sick for the past few days, but I don't know what it means?" ”

Yang Tinghe narrowed his eyes and said, "He wants to avoid suspicion, and no one can be offended." ”

Mao Ji smiled even colder. With a bit of disdain, he said: "Where is it so easy to sell well?" No one is allowed to offend, and in the end both ends are offended. ”

Yang Tinghe was not interested in caring about Jiang Mian now, shook his hand and said: "With his temperament, he doesn't dare to wade into this troubled water, so don't pay attention to him, just take care of your own business." ”

When this Mao Ji was gone, Yang Tinghe's eyes flashed, and a trace of doubt couldn't help but pass in his eyes. It is understandable that the emperor is upset, but that Xu Qian, it stands to reason that he is not burdened with a heavy trust? In that case, what does it mean to read at home every day? It's not that I saw that things were irreparable. Simply be a turtle with a shrunken head?

Thinking of this, Yang Tinghe couldn't help but shake his head, no, even if he saw that the general trend had gone. Xu Qianding still has to make some efforts, not because he knows that he can't do it. It's just that he has a heavy trust, so he has to make a show and flutter a few times, so that he can appear loyal to his duty, otherwise what will the palace think of him?

But the problem is that this guy's appearance is not the slightest abnormal, I don't see who he is dealing with, nor do I see what arrangements and plans he has, he just blindly reads, but he doesn't know what kind of pass he is selling.

Yang Tinghe was full of confidence, but most of them were for Mao Ji and these people, but at this time he was faintly worried in his heart, he sat on the Taishi chair in a daze, pondered for a while, but couldn't think of a reason, but he could only smile bitterly and shake his head, and give up for the time being.

In fact, Yang Tinghe can't see through Xu Qian, He Xinyin can't see through this guy, although He Xinyin is urging Xu Chen's homework every day, but there is such a big thing over there in Ruyifang, it is difficult for him to think about it, the old and young masters of the Xu family are very busy, they are all busy characters who don't touch the ground, there are only him, Xu Chen, and Xu Qian in this family, He Xinyin has heard of Xu Qian's name, and naturally knows what kind of character this guy is, so he has always paid attention to Xu Qian. I thought that Xu Qian would pull some people to create momentum, or think hard about how to deal with it. As a result, this guy actually eats when he should eat, sleeps when he should sleep, and sometimes, he also pulls He Xinyin to discuss knowledge.

After a few days, He Xinyin thought that he was just pretending to be low-key at first, but when Xu Qian and he asked each other for advice, He Xinyin found that he spoke clearly and his attitude was very focused, and he didn't seem to be disturbed by the outside world.

It's just that he doesn't want to ask too much, full of questions has been held in his heart, and on the fifth day, news has come out of the outside world, and the matter has finally reached the point of no return, the more indifferent the palace takes, the more powerful the rumors outside the world will spread, and there are more and more rumors about Ruyifang, as for that Wang Feng, it is already said that after entering the edict, he has been tortured day and night, and was beaten to death.

Xu Qian's old man is Jinyiwei, he knows a little about the things in the edict prison, most of the people in the edict prison are court officials, and there are rumors about how dark the edict prison is, and how he was tortured after entering, in fact, there are many untrues.

Because there are two kinds of people to be taken in the palace, one is to beat someone, this kind of ministers and officials, no one can guarantee whether they will recover, therefore, if there is no exact news in the palace, the general Jinyi Wei will not be tortured at will, to put it simply, Jinyi Wei is just a pro-army, and one of their duties is to serve the palace, and there is no clear information in the palace, who dares to be lightly punished?

This kind of rumor that Wang Feng has used torture and has been beaten to death is obviously fueled by someone, but on the contrary, most people are convinced, after all, the impression of the edict is too terrifying, and many people do not want things to be as big as possible in their hearts.

The Qing Dynasty was in an uproar, and the imperial court also exploded.

At this point, there is a faint situation of endless death, and even in the yamen of various ministries and halls, some people talk in front of all the officials that there will be demons in the country, and the emperor has been bewitched by evil demons, and the society will be overturned, and it is just around the corner.

When people speak, they are inevitably exaggerated, but this is the case, and instead of stopping them, the officials of various ministries and halls applauded them.

It stands to reason that according to the ancestral system stipulated by Taizu that students are not allowed to make suggestions on state affairs, Guozi Jian students do not have the right to make suggestions, but the six ministries of the cabinet do not care, and the officials of Guozijian deliberately let it go, but no one can control it.

On the cabinet side, there has been a backlog of too many things, nine of the ten recitals are to criticize the palace and slander Ruyifang, as for the other recitals, no one cares about it, and the disaster situation in Henan has obviously become more and more strict.

Jiajing couldn't sit still anymore, in front of him, there were more than a dozen pieces sent from Henan, including the prefect of Luoyang and the prefect of Kaifeng, the disaster situation in these two places was the most strict, and the prefects of the two places felt that the lid could not be covered, so they had to play according to the facts, but there was a lot of information in it, but it was appalling.

The three elders of the cabinet had already invited Dongnuan Pavilion, Jiajing's face was gloomy, and he said slowly: "Didn't the new governor Jiang Zheng just take office, why is the disaster situation getting more and more severe, and there are more and more displaced people?" ”

Jiajing obviously asked Yang Tinghe, but Yang Tinghe sat down like an old monk and didn't say a word.

Jiang Mian, who came with an 'illness', couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty, the new governor has just arrived, and many decrees have not yet been implemented......"

Jiajing's face was even colder: "But you see, the people are cannibalistic, and the number of displaced people has accumulated to 100,000, and if it continues like this, if there is a civil change, it will be a great thing." Since Zhu Qing is Zaifu, why is there nothing to do about the disaster in Henan, just to remove the governor and allocate some more money and food, but the far water can't save the near fire, so there is no emergency plan at all? ”

The corners of Yang Tinghe's mouth moved slightly, and he was about to say something, but Mao Ji suddenly said: "Your Majesty, Weichen is outside, I heard some rumors, I don't know whether to say it or not." ”

Jiajing said slowly: "You can say it." ”

Mao Ji nodded and said: "Some people outside say that it is now a cold winter, why is Henan flooded continuously, this is really contrary to the geography of the heavens, so some people rumored that this is the country out of the demons, His Majesty Xià governance is lacking, and ......"

Jiajing interrupted him coldly: "In my opinion, this is not what people outside want to say, it is what you want to say, right?" Could it be that you want to make an edict before you can take a break? ”

Mao Ji hurriedly shook his head and said: "Weichen didn't mean this, Weichen meant that something must have angered God to cause this." ”

In fact, this kind of remarks are not superstitious in this era, often disasters, ministers always like to contact God unhappy, in fact, ministers may not believe this, just take this out, through God, say what they want to say.

Jiajing caressed the imperial case, his eyes became more and more severe, and said: "Zi Bu is strange and confused, now that Henan is in a disaster, you don't think about relief, but listen to the rumors in the streets, and talk nonsense in front of the palace, what, you say that there are demons, who are demons?" ”

Yang Tinghe's eyelids were raised, and he finally spoke: "The one who covers the calamity, the ring of heaven and earth." His Majesty inherited the Hongye, Fengzong Temple, entrusted to the people, failed to live with the masses, yin and yang imbalance, should be taken as a warning, far from the evil and the pro-gentleman, the minister does not believe in the demon theory, but the evil villain is the demon, and the profit-seeking businessman is also the demon, His Majesty saw the demons dancing wildly, not only did not suppress it, but encouraged it for the sake of the small profits in the palace, why is this? ”

A rhetorical question is already very polite.

Jiajing's arm trembled, but he had nothing to say, he was alone, he couldn't say two people, obviously he couldn't say anything about the hundreds of officials in the world, and the people who read all over the world, his eyes flashed, and he said coldly: "Then what about me?" ”
