Li Chi became famous. In just one day and night, his name almost resounded throughout the Ming Dynasty.
The price of being famous is that he is sick and hides at home with the door closed. Why?
Because he was afraid that he would be eaten alive by the Emperor's relatives as soon as he went out. After drinking that day, he became so passionate that he couldn't quite remember what he said, but he remembered the handwriting. It was written by his own hands. An article written by him was probably read by tens of millions of people at this moment, because he was so stubborn that he even used the power of alcohol to post it to the place where obituaries are posted in the Imperial City.
It’s done~! !
The Shangguan sternly ordered him to go home to recuperate, which was considered a kind of protection. Otherwise, those people would probably rush to the Hanlin Academy and tear him apart.
Several people who drank that night were taken to Jinyiwei for investigation. Who were they? Who is spreading rumors, talking about cutting down the vassal, seeking death?
Of course Mou Bin knew who spread the rumor. Zhu Yunwen used this trick to get away with it, and Emperor Chengzu even used this trick to complete his counterattack. Now in this day and age, it seems that he is also interested in cutting down the vassal vassal. It seems that It’s just a sentence, but it’s so easy to cut.
A man silently came to the palace gate, looked at the high red lacquer wall, Mou Bin was silent for a while, and then mustered up the courage to walk in. The Jin Yiwei is only loyal to the emperor and cannot have his own thoughts. That is disloyalty and the price of disloyalty. It means death without a burial place.
Because you don't know who among the Jinyi Guards is the emperor's spy, monitoring your every move. Ji Gang cannot be tolerated by the emperor because he has his own thoughts. Is Ji Gang really capable of rebellion?
Don't be stupid. The Jinyiwei claim to be one hundred thousand, but it doesn't matter if they are distributed all over the world. How many people are there in the capital? One thousand? Or two thousand? So what if it's only three thousand, there are three thousand sergeants for just one Royal Horse Guard on duty in the imperial city, as well as twelve regiments and battalions, the Forbidden Army, the Jinwu Guards, the Shenji Battalion and so on...!
Pulling out any one of them can reduce Jin Yiwei to scum, so why should Ji Gang rebel?
What's more, if you look at Ji Gang's life review, he has so many blood debts that the civil and military ministers wish they could sleep on his skin, eat his flesh, and drink his blood. How could such a domineering and cruel official with no foundation rebel? Will you build one then and take a look?
Besides, why did Emperor Chengzu start a rebellion? He is the ancestor. How can he make you rebel with just Ji Gang?
Therefore, those are just excuses, a justifiable excuse to kill Ji Gang, not because you Ji Gang rebelled against me, but because I need your head to eliminate the discord between me and the ministers. Go to hell, you can play with your rights. That's enough, go with peace of mind, this is Zhu Di's method.
Mou Bin is very sober. Although he is not smart, he knows how to measure himself. Is he domineering? Of course, if the commander of the Jinyiwei is not domineering, he will be trampled to death by the people below and the civil and military ministers. He thought a lot.
Thinking of the late emperor and the current majesty, I finally shook my head secretly. He is just the commander of the royal guards. The sword in your majesty's hand does not require thinking, it only needs to kill people!
"My lord, Mou Bin, commander of the Jinyi Guards, is here to see your majesty, long live our emperor." He was meticulous every time he came, which Zhu Houzhao appreciated very much.
"Mou Qing's family invites you."
"Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty."
Mou Bin's eyes were calm, his words were calm, and he reported the news.
"The courtiers are relatively quiet, but there are only rumors in private that the emperor's relatives... the emperor's relatives are quite critical. Ding Guogong is staying behind closed doors, Cheng Guogong is scolding endlessly, and the ministers have received accurate information, and some people are uniting with the clan to kneel down. I'm crying for help." After saying this, he bowed his head and waited for Zhu Houzhao's decision.
His duty is just that. As for the movements of the court, that is not something he can interfere with.
Zhu Houzhao narrowed his eyes, his face was cloudy and uncertain. He didn't ask who those people were. He knew it was those relatives without thinking. Good guy, when the news of the vassal abolition came out, no news of the vassal king came. These usually carefree people The relatives got into trouble.
"I know."
Mou Bin resigned, and those who should not participate should not participate. This is his way of being an official.
Zhu Houzhao watched Mou Bin's words and deeds and grasped them all, knowing what he was going to advise him, but Mou Bin finally held back. Very good, he was satisfied. The duty of the Jin Yiwei is to be obedient and become the emperor's sword. , how can Dao have his own thoughts, so he likes obedient people.
"The Ming Dynasty has accumulated many shortcomings, and it's time for the vassal king to take action. I really just sincerely want to save you, but why are you so stupid?" Zhu Houzhao said to himself.
Liu Jin was on the side, bowing his head silently. He wanted to tell the emperor that the vassal king could not move, but he was a chamberlain, and the chamberlain was not allowed to interfere in politics. He should do his job well and not interfere with other things. The emperor today is not the one he used to be. The prince.
Daning is just an excuse. He is looking at the entire northern grassland. Only when he wants to make sure that there is no future trouble can he start on the sea. He wants to transform the Ming Dynasty before he can enjoy the Ming Dynasty. The enemy has long-sword cavalry, and I have black technology. If This can't change everything, so it means that everything is really fate. If it is really fate, he can't return to the Ming Dynasty. Since he is here, it means that he can change. For the happiness of the rest of his life, Zhu Houzhao, do it boldly!
"Publish the decree to stop court for one month."
For Zhu Houzhao, it was normal for Zhu Houzhao to go away from court, but it seemed that one month after going to court had passed. In the past, it only lasted for three to five days at most, but this...!
"My slave obeys the order!"
Liu Jin is Liu Jin, and he will resolutely carry out whatever the emperor says.
Zhu Houzhao thought in his heart, this "established emperor" is completely honest. If you obey, I will give you a good death, as long as you don't commit suicide yourself.
Liu Jin probably has no chance to seek death. They say smart people seek death. In fact, the smarter the person, the less likely they are to commit suicide. What is clever is misunderstood by cleverness, so just act stupid. Yang Shen must be smart, but in his previous life, he was a Leng Huo, now he knows how to behave, he is hard-core about flattering the emperor and is heartless. Wang Shouren must be smart, otherwise he would be called the person who should not be messed with in the history of the Ming Dynasty.
But they all have one thing in common, that is, they know how to behave appropriately and will not seek death.
Yan Song is a good example. These days, his desire to survive is very strong. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as walking around here and there, because although this matter was given by the emperor, he took care of it. It's too big to worry about it.
If he had known that Zhu Houzhao was behind all of this and that the dog-headed military advisor Yang Shen had the idea, I wonder if he would still have such a strong desire to survive, maybe it would be even stronger.
"For the excuse of interrupting me, may I ask, Master Zhang, to go to the Yamen?" He bowed and saluted a disciple. When the disciple saw that he was just a green-robed official, he raised his nostrils to the sky.
"I have just been sent to office. What is your position? Why do you want to see my lord?"
Yan Song didn't feel dissatisfied. Often, people who commit great crimes and evil appear to be generous and well-educated on the outside. Only he knows what's going on on the inside!
"I am the editor of Hanlin. Yan Song, who was ranked in the top three last year, could you please help me."
When the disciples heard this, Yan Song! There was a thump in my heart. I remembered that the master had mentioned this person many times. It was over.
He immediately put on a flattering face and said, "It turns out it's Yanbianzhuan. A little dog's eye can't see the truth. Master Yanbianzhuan doesn't remember the faults of villains. Don't care about it. I'm going to report this to my lord, I'll wait for the editing." A proper villain's face.
Naturally, Yan Song would not argue with a disciple, that would be a bit of a loss of status.
After a while, Menzi came out, his attitude was much more cautious.
Yan Song still thanked him before striding in. His magnanimity was really unspeakable. Even Yang Tinghe was a bit inferior in comparison. This man was born with temperament.
"Your Majesty, Yan Song, has the temerity to disturb Mr. Lao. He is really guilty of a crime worthy of death. Please forgive me, Mr. Lao."
Zhang Sheng is an old minister. When it comes to prestige and popularity in the court, except for the three cabinet ministers, even Xu Qiong, who is the Minister of Rites, is not like this. This is a true straight minister. He would rather break than bend. Liu Daxia is given the title of gentleman. It's quite suitable for this person.
But a gentleman is not the way to be an official. A country of gentlemen sounds nice, but if you imagine that everyone is a gentleman, and they are all gentlemen who would rather bend than bend, then the Ming Dynasty is not far from being destroyed.
However, a gentleman has the advantage of being a gentleman, that is, he is straightforward. This is his principle. Because of the case of Prince Ning, he was left idle. If Zhu Houzhao didn't know his character well, it would be inevitable for someone above Xingtai to stab him.
This person had no complaints at all. He just did what he did. Only later did he find out that he had been deceived. He was disheartened. He thought he was selfless, but he almost helped Prince Ning seize the country. After being betrayed, he was still waving flags for others. A gentleman deceives others.
Although Yan Song took the liberty to visit, there is something that needs Zhang Sheng, a gentleman. Mr. Zhang is a gentleman, so you can't just ignore him.
Seeing his courtesy and extraordinary bearing, Zhang Sheng stroked his beard and admired him and said, "I can recognize Wei Zhong's talent and reputation. I am deeply happy that you can come to visit me."
Yan Song pretended to be honored. Being praised was because he thought it was the praise of the respected Zhang Sheng, so he naturally felt ecstatic.
"My lord, I have dedicated myself to serving the country. Who in the whole court would not praise Duke Zhang? I am really ashamed that Song can be praised by my lord." Yan Song was very good at speaking.
Zhang Sheng liked such polite young people even more, especially Yan Song, who was quite talented and well-known, so he was even more happy. Even if Zhang Sheng was a gentleman, he was not immune to vulgarity. His face lit up with words and the atmosphere was harmonious.
Time passed quickly, and Zhang Sheng's conversation with Yan Song was pleasing to the eye and he valued it more and more.
Yan Song felt that the time had come, and his face turned into a sad one, and he finally got to the point. Zhang Sheng could be said to be one of the few ministers recognized by the Qingliu people. This time things got big, and the Qingliu people had some intention of unsheathing their swords, and rebelled. I don't dare, but I want to use the east wind to fight for fame. What is the best way to gain fame? It is not to catch the evil officials, nor to redress the injustice of the people, but to criticize the dragon scales. Although the risk is very high, it is worth the risk.
Zhang Sheng was startled and hurriedly asked, "Weizhong, why are you... in such a sad state?"
"The Hanlin Academy, the Inspectorate, the Imperial Academy, and many officials are preparing to jointly submit a memorial. Sir, do you know how serious this matter is? Every time I think about it, I feel extremely sad. This is forcing the palace. A hundred years after the founding of the country, the late emperor and You have created the prosperous era of Zhongxing, but this prosperous era of Zhongxing is about to end. I don’t feel sad for myself, nor for them, but for you and the late emperor. What happened to these people? What on earth are they doing? What's the matter, isn't Daming bad? Why...why do they do this~!, why!"
The more Yan Song talked, the more excited he became, and finally he started to scream in a low voice. The role of Nima was also performed very well. No matter his expression or body behavior, there was a sense of sincerity and sorrow, which could easily affect people. If Zhu Houzhao watched it, If you arrive, you will definitely give it a thumbs up, the movie king.
Although Zhang Sheng is unemployed, he still has a source of information. Although he is not very clear about the specifics, he still knows what is happening in the outside world. Did he not expect that it has reached such a serious stage?
It's not like Wang Qiong has never done anything to force a woman into the palace, what's the result?
"Mr. Zhang, I was so emotional just now. I'm really embarrassed. I'd like to ask Haihan, but I'm going to leave." Yan Song stood up to say goodbye, feeling affectionate and gloomy, looking at his back with a very bleak look.
In fact, he was waiting for Zhang Sheng to call him, because he bet that Zhang Sheng would definitely call him, so he turned around quickly, but unhappily, before he could leave the hall, he was startled by a "pop" behind him. .
His body paused, and Zhang Sheng became angry. Who wants to ruin the prosperous Zhongxing era that we and the late emperor created? Who?
"Stay in the middle."
Yan Song smiled, laughing in his heart, a gentleman would bully him.
Outside the palace gate.
It's still the same place, but there is a different group of people. No matter the number or size, they are not comparable to the little Wang Qiong. That guy, this time it is really dark and it looks like it is full of people.
Zhu Houzhao said that the Ming Dynasty had the largest number of people. No, there were more of his relatives in the capital. They all came and cried for the late emperor.
In the end, Li Chi didn't escape the clutches of the devil, and was beaten to death. But he didn't dare to kill him, otherwise it would be easy to kill him, but he really fell out with the emperor. Who knows if Li Chi was the person arranged by the emperor to beat him? Yes, but no one dared to kill him, even though they wanted to do it so much that they even cut Li Chi into pieces with a thousand cuts.
Yan Song's sin was so great, but who told Yan Song to read the carvings on Li Chi's head again? If not, who would you cheat?
"Your Majesty, in addition to Duke Cheng and Duke Ding, they are all here."
Mou Bin bowed to report, but he still didn't dare to speak. Forget it, let's just do things honestly, which completely shattered his thoughts of speaking for those people.
Zhu Houzhao nodded with a faint smile, and then issued an oral instruction.
"My relatives don't know the truth, they only listen to one's beliefs, they cry endlessly without verifying the truth, and they ignore the dignity of the court and the majesty of the royal family. They are extremely stupid and ridiculous. Everyone is fined for one year. Since you like to kneel, then all of you will be punished by kneeling. For three days, anyone who dares to get up and run away in the middle of the journey, who continues to wail and cry, or who incites trouble will be handed over to the clan's mansion with a stick."
Wow~!
After Liu Jin read the oral edict with a sneer, the outside of the palace gate became quiet. The emperor was so cruel. If he fined them a year's salary, they would be forced to rest on their laurels. The royal family is raised by the royal family. It is shameful to do business. I am a royal family member. Do you need to start a business to support yourself?
A year's salary is not a small amount of money.
A few were unwilling to do so and started howling immediately.
"Late Emperor...ahhhh!"
I only had time to call out to the late emperor, and the people behind him were basically scared out. Several tiger-wolf-like Imperial Guards swooped over and captured him. They pinned him to the ground and beat him. Damn, he was beaten by the imperial staff. Ahhhh...!
This is the fate of those who stand out.
It was as silent as cicadas, and there was no sound outside the Meridian Gate.
The bizarre scene reappears, just like the scene when Wang Qiong and others cried in the palace, only more spectacular and ridiculous.
