Chapter 39: Alone
There are no fools who can stand out and climb the emperor's treasure tree, and IQ and EQ cannot be said to be a win-win situation, at least above the average. What's more, Chongzhen was an illegitimate son who was once unconcerned and few people asked, and then ascended to the throne of the fifth prince, all the way to the throne of the Ming Emperor;
At this time, he should not be too concerned, although the cognitive level of most courtiers cannot catch up with his own footsteps, he still feels that he can stop and wait for a while, so that the ministers can raise their consciousness and catch up with him. In fact, his feeling is only four or nine percent right, if Chairman Li Chixin, who has already turned into an anti-thief, is present at this moment, he will definitely feel the same way, and it is not impossible for two people to cut off the head of a chicken and drink blood wine.
On weekdays, when he was in the court, he often spoke in a majestic tone, but now Chongzhen is unusual, he said softly to everyone in a tone that is almost weak and self-reproachful: "Since I ascended to the pole, there have been internal and external strife, war and disaster, floods and droughts, and disasters and disasters. I have been thinking to myself all night, I am not talented? I can't feel the loyalty of my ministers to the country? I am unwise, I can't distinguish between right and wrong, and I can't be loyal and treacherous, and I am stupid? I can't put down the rebellion as soon as possible, and I can't put down the rebellion as soon as possible, and I can't put the people on the throne! This is all my virtue and ability, I don't know how to do things, I am ashamed of the gods, and I am ashamed of the people, so the emperor is different, and I bow down to the gods!"
It is rare for the officials to hear the emperor say something to reproach him when he was in the court, and many people are moved in their hearts. But everyone also understands that he is like this at this moment, and he will completely change at another time, so only one courtier stood out, and he ignored the viciousness of his peers, resolutely went out of class and knelt down, and said a few words of sycophancy to Chongzhen, but others were following the example of Shi Weng Zhong in front of the mausoleum and was silent.
Chongzhen began to scare people from early in the morning, and said that his mouth was dry in the morning, and he drank a bowl of tea for the first time regardless of his image, and the waiter did not encounter such a scene when he came out, and he couldn't find the teapot for the emperor to refill the cup for a while; Chongzhen was also dissatisfied with the service attitude of the waiters, but the raging flame in his heart at the moment had calmed down a little, so he preached: "The human heart is related to the fortune of the country, so sometimes people are more terrible than the heart of heaven." There are a number of people who are cunning and deceitful, and cannot share the worries of the monarch's father, and who are dedicated to the party and fighting against differences, and who are willing to help the public and private interests; the imperial court has no choice but to carry out a new policy, and they do not think about the difficulties of the country at all, and they obstruct and destroy in every way; like these people, if they talk about the law of their ancestors, how should they deal with it? It seems that this thief is easy to cure, and it is very difficult to get rid of the thief of clothes. In the future, if there are such ones, they should be re-enacted! All the ministers should wash their lungs and intestines, eliminate dissent, cultivate their duties together, praise our prosperity, and enjoy the blessings of peace. ”
All the civil and military officials of the court, under the leadership of the honorable relatives, cabinet assistants, and the six scholars, lost no time in kneeling on the ground and playing in unison: "Obey the edict!"
Chongzhen caught a glimpse of Wang Dehua carrying a delicate Xuande New Year small copper kettle, and trotted over to refill his cup, he was satisfied with the case, briskly called the ministers to get up, and once again warned them, do not be hijacked by Huang Daozhou and Liu Zong, do not be like them, slander the court, obstruct the levy of training, and cause heavy punishment.
At the end of the meeting, Emperor Chongzhen put the teacup in his hand on the desk and asked the honorable relatives, the cabinet ministers, and the six scholars, "What else do you ministers have to say?"
Several cabinet ministers saw that the emperor was in a good mood at this time, and his attitude was cute, so he took the opportunity to kneel down and plead for Liu Zongzhou, saying that he had lived in the northern suburbs of Shaoxing for many years to lecture at the Qishan Academy, and he had been stupid in reading.
Chongzhen also didn't want to go retrograde alone, and when he saw that his original intention had been defeated, he slowed down and said: "Since the Wanli Dynasty, scholars have used lectures to establish party henchmen to confront the imperial court, and it has gradually formed an atmosphere, which is very hateful. This Liu Zongzhou has been lecturing in Qishan for many years, is there also a situation of forming a party?"
A cabinet minister saw that the emperor's face had returned to pale color, and felt that it should be the medicinal power that began to work, so he glanced at everyone, several relatives, cabinet ministers and six Shangshu, all felt that the emperor just now was angry in the morning and did not take drugs, and now the anger is enough, and gradually returned to normal, of course, no one is afraid of him anymore, everyone unanimously played: "Although Liu Zongzhou has lectured in Qishan for many years, scholars all over the world respect him as Mr. Qishan, and he has not heard of his party." ”
Chongzhen thought about it, the evil breath in his chest just now, I don't know if it disappeared along the good tea, and after thinking about it for a long time, he didn't find the * point of anger, so he got off the donkey and said: "I read that he is old and deaf, and I will suspend the discussion of the crime at the request of Mr. Qing." He is in the capital, and he is so rude to his father, he suddenly forgets what he has learned in his life, and he is so good that if he still does not know the crime, he will definitely be punished more heavily, and he will not be tolerant!"
Since he drank tea, it was still good tea, and he felt that it was better not to waste it, so he had to say a few more words about Ye Tingxiu's matter, but as soon as he opened his mouth, a gust of wind carried sparse heavy raindrops and hail, and suddenly smashed into the iron horse at the corner of the Qianqing Palace...... Upstairs with five winds, thunder and lightning are combined.
Before returning home, the god of electric mother dropped a thunderbolt, chiseled off the owl kiss on the gate of the emperor, and shook the doors and windows. This is still the result of the great god Lei Gong pulling her and not wanting her to interfere in politics, otherwise it would not be a matter that the thunder can understand; the throne called Jintai at Chongzhen's feet was violently shaken by the thunder, and at the same time, the wind blew down the Huang Luo umbrella on the throne backwards.
Chongzhen's face changed, and he wanted to stand up quickly.
At this moment, a figure on the roof outside the hall slipped into the main hall like a night owl, and with a hook, the figure went to the caisson well, and then waved his hand and scattered a thin needle like a cow's hair to the golden platform.
"Poof!poof!" A few sounds, several butter wax were extinguished, Chongzhen also felt bad, he wanted to get into the imperial case to dodge, but it was too late, and the thin needles like cow hair came with a golden wind......
The thunder rolled through the dark night-like sky, and the candle flame in the hall was as dark as purgatory.
When the civil and military officials rushed out of the noon gate in a panic, the majestic honor guard that was catching up with it also ran away in the wind, rain, hail, thunder and lightning, and the Forbidden City, which was as silent as a stagnant water for a while, opened the pot, and among the boots and boots that ran away, there was still a woman's embroidered shoes and a few spots of red on a lost python robe......
