"Zhang Jieyuan, please speak with caution! Please speak with caution!"
Dai Yi was thinking about why this kid was having trouble, but he was busy reminding him.
Zhu Youtang looked calm, as if giving advice to a junior: "Bingkuan, you're new here, don't be impatient when things happen, and it's not too late to play again later. Sit down."
Zhang Zhou insisted: "I won't be happy if I don't complain."
Hey!
Even Zhu Youtang felt that Zhang Zhou was trying to compete with him. He was a reckless person, but he was Jieyuan of the Ming Dynasty. He had read the article and it was indeed good.
I just said you knew etiquette, but now I feel like you don’t understand etiquette at all.
"Speak!" Zhu Youtang gave Zhang Zhou face.
Zhang Zhou spoke eloquently: "When I entered the palace, I saw the evil spirit shrouding the palace, so I counted with my fingers, and suddenly I was shocked. There will be a disaster in the Qingning Palace at midnight tomorrow night!"
"ah!?"
Dai Yi almost went crazy after hearing this.
He hurriedly walked out from behind the emperor, knelt on the ground with a bang and kowtowed to Zhu Youtang: "Your Majesty, this old slave failed to teach Zhang Jieyuan the court etiquette well, and made him speak so rudely... Please punish me." "
Zhu Youtang frowned and said impatiently: "What does he say have to do with you? Get up!"
Dai Yi stood up. This time he did not stand behind the emperor, but stood aside dejectedly.
It is estimated that there is a crack in the ground now, and he will definitely slip into it.
Zhu Youtang had a somewhat sullen look on his face, but he still said patiently: "Bingkuan, you should know the seriousness of what you said. Let me ask you again, are you talking nonsense? I heard that among the people, There are alchemists who like to make alarmist statements, predicting disasters, and making people prepare for them. In the end, the disaster did not occur, but they pride themselves on their ability to prevent disasters..."
Zhang Zhou said: "Does your Majesty think that I am such a person who talks freely and makes trouble out of nothing?"
"this……"
Zhu Youtang was silent.
Being an emperor also has a strong balance in his heart.
The young man in front of me seemed a little reckless, but two months ago, he dared to come to Nanjing to prevent and treat the princess's illness, and offered medicine from thousands of miles away. In the end, he succeeded.
The little princess got acne entirely because of the epidemic in the capital. It was obvious that Zhang Zhou was not behind it.
After a moment of silence, Zhu Youtang asked coldly: "What kind of disaster?"
"Fire!"
Zhang Zhou said it without thinking.
"On the night of Jiaxu in October, there was a disaster in Qingning Palace."
This is the reason why Zhang Zhou made this prediction.
Historically, in the eleventh year of Hongzhi, Li Guang was also unlucky. He was favored by the emperor, but due to the construction of Yuxiu Pavilion on Long Live Mountain, the little princess died of smallpox, and the Qingning Palace disaster scared Li Guang to commit suicide. But even Li Guang committed suicide. After Guang died, the emperor still believed that Li Guang had a strange book in his hand, and he also saw that the emperor had no intention of killing Li Guang.
Because of Zhang Zhou's appearance, the disaster of the little princess's death has been resolved.
But in the case of the fire in Qingning Palace, Zhang Zhou must make up for it and add insult to injury again.
Originally, Zhang Zhou planned to have another joint memorial with Zhu Feng, but now that he had the opportunity to meet the saint, the trouble was saved, and it was more direct and more shocking to say it in person.
…
By this time, not to mention Dai Yi, even Xiao Jing standing beside him didn't even dare to breathe.
Zhu Youtang said: "Bingkuan, there is a fire in the palace. You should know what it means, right?"
Zhang Zhou cupped his hands and said, "Of course I know that this is an early warning from heaven, or it may involve matters related to the country and the country. I could have pretended not to know. After all, the matter is serious. If it had not happened, I would be guilty of lying about the disaster and warning. But it is not a small crime. But If after it happened, I didn’t mention it and didn’t take any precautions... I would be ashamed to be a human minister."
If he had heard Zhang Zhou say that there would be a disaster in Qingning Palace, Dai Yi felt that Zhang Zhou was talking nonsense. But after he heard Zhang Zhou's impassioned speech, he gradually became more inclined to believe Zhang Zhou's prophecy in his heart.
"Your Majesty," Dai Yigong said seriously, "What Zhang Jieyuan said seems to make some sense."
reason?
Zhu Youtang glared sideways!
If he hadn't said this because he saved my daughter, I would have immediately convicted him and put him in prison for interrogation to see if anyone instigated him to scaremonger here!
You actually say that this nonsense makes sense? He doesn't know the rules in his mind, don't you have the brains too?
Zhang Zhou looked at Dai Yi coldly. He did not expect that Dai Yi would actually speak for him at this time.
Zhang Zhou already knew the process of donating medicine and Dai Yi's role in it from Zhu Feng's reply.
It seems that this old eunuch has tasted the benefits of helping to speak when he offered medicine before, and he wants to make a profit this time.
What’s more, Li Guang destroyed the balance of power ecology in the palace.
I'm not the only one who wants him dead.
And it’s not me who wants him dead the most.
Zhu Youtang said: "Bingkuan, you reported earlier that an alchemist gave you advice and asked you to donate medicine to the princess. Tell the truth, was it your own doing, or was it someone else's advice?"
Zhang Zhoudao: "The previous donation of medicine was indeed guided by an expert behind the scenes, but the fire in the palace was what I saw after I arrived at the palace. Therefore, I am willing to bear the consequences of falsely reporting the disaster."
"What did you see?"
Zhu Youtang seemed to believe in this stuff. He would rather believe it than believe it and wanted to ask a few more questions.
Zhang Zhou talked eloquently again: "After I entered the palace, I first found that the purple dragon energy in the palace was suppressed, and there seemed to be a haze above the imperial palace. When I passed by the Jinluan Hall and the Fengtian Hall, the haze became even stronger. Fire. It suppresses gold, so I had a premonition that there was a fire, but the haze tilted towards the west side of Jinluan Palace. I knew that that side is where Qingning Palace is, so I made this prophecy. If there is any offense or disrespect, please I hope your Majesty will forgive me."
"Ahem!"
Zhu Youtang coughed again.
When he was anxious, he would cough, which made Zhang Zhou feel that the emperor was really weak.
Originally, your health was okay, but it's all your fault for taking so many elixirs with excessive amounts of heavy metals in the past few years. You sought hardness rather than quality, treating the symptoms but not the root cause. Otherwise, you might have had a few more children.
Xiao Jing quickly stroked Zhu Youtang's back.
At this time, Dai Yi obviously wanted to go up, but he didn't dare.
Zhu Youtang asked Xiao Jing: "Is there any debris placed in Qingning Palace recently, or is there a risk of fire?"
From this sentence, Zhang Zhou felt that the emperor was a very cautious person.
Xiao Jing was speechless for a moment.
He thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "Not really."
Who cares about the Qingning Palace where the Empress Dowager Zhou lives? That was the palace where the emperor's grandmother lived. As we all know, the emperor had no mother since he was a child. He grew up in the shadow of Concubine Wan Gui. He relied entirely on his grandmother's protection and cultivation. The title of Xiaozong's temple was not given in vain. Zhu Youtang always cared about this grandmother. It is extremely filial.
Historically, after the Qingning Palace disaster, although the Empress Dowager Zhou was only frightened and not injured, Zhu Youtang still blamed himself and even issued an edict to blame himself. "Records of Xiaozong" also records that after this incident, the court also This caused a stir, and the court officials headed by Liu Jian also accepted the blame and resigned.
Fortunately, Li Guang had committed suicide, and his corruption and perversion of justice were discovered by the emperor. In the end, the emperor did not really take his anger out on others.
"Then send someone to Qingning Palace to do an inspection to see if there is still a fire hazard! Ahem!" Zhu Youtang was obviously hurt when he said this, and he coughed again.
"Yes." Xiao Jing also accepted the order.
While accepting the order, he did not forget to glance over at Zhang Zhou.
The look in his eyes probably said something.
You kid can do it, don’t think you don’t know who you are targeting, you are also a stubborn person, even we dare not offend Li Guang, but you say it so seriously, what kind of suppression of purple energy...
Do you really think that neither Your Majesty nor we can hear what you are saying?
Zhang Zhou said: "Your Majesty, I have finished saying what I want to say. I plan to go back and wait to receive my punishment. I have no intention of disturbing the peace of the palace. I will leave!"
"you……"
Zhu Youtang originally wanted to say, don't leave in a hurry, I have other things to talk to you about.
But now, Zhu Youtang feels like he has nothing to say.
If the fire had not occurred, Zhang Zhou would have been convicted of alarmism. Although the blame would not be too great, since the merits and demerits were equal to each other, there was no need to treat Zhang Zhou as a person at that time, just as an ordinary person. If you take the exam, you will be given some benefits in the future.
But if Zhang Zhou is really right...
That's a big deal.
Even Zhu Youtang felt that it would be more appropriate to wait two days to see if something happened before deciding what to talk about with Zhang Zhou.
