The underlying meaning of Zhu Jianshen's words is that I can let you rest for a few days, or I can let you rest forever. Don't think that the court has no generals to use, and pay more attention to what you say and do in the future.
The meaning was not profound, but Shi Heng still didn't understand it.
Seeing Shi Heng not answering, Zhu Jianshen was somewhat helpless.
He originally wanted to beat him secretly, but Shi Heng didn't understand. Alas, those words spoken clearly would affect the relationship between the king and his ministers.
However, Zhu Jianshen knew in his heart that even if it affected the relationship between monarch and minister, he still had to say something, otherwise Shi Heng's tail would be raised to the sky, and there would be a dead end behind him. The most important thing was that he still had Shi Biao behind him.
If Shi Heng was killed by the court, even if Shi Biao was not punished, it would be difficult for him to be a political god in the future.
If a general whose elders in the family were killed for violating national laws, the court would not entrust him with important responsibilities.
Zhu Jianshen glanced at the dozen Han generals beside him, then looked at Shi Heng, and said softly: "Marquis Wuyang, don't get on your horse in a hurry. I want to ask you something. You can think about it before you answer."
After hearing Zhu Jianshen's words, Shi Heng felt a little bad, but he still hurriedly said: "Yes, Your Majesty."
"You stayed in Shanhaiguan for three days. What did you say and do?"
"I met an old friend and had a few drinks. As for what I said, I'm not sure."
"You said that you have a high prestige in Liaodong. My imperial edict and the imperial court's official and military regulations are of no use to Liaodong. Only you can make the decision."
After hearing Zhu Jianshen's words, Shi Heng panicked, and immediately explained: "Your Majesty, I, I did say that I am guilty."
Saying this, Shi Heng hurriedly knelt down.
Zhu Jianshen waved his hand and said: "Wu Yanghou, please get up quickly. I still want to ask some questions. I have been kneeling for a long time, and it is not easy to stand up."
After listening to Zhu Jianshen's words, Shi Heng slowly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the words I said were all said when I was drunk and should not be counted."
After Zhu Jianshen listened, he just nodded.
"You have been in Liaodong for many years. I think you did the right thing about marching and fighting, but I think you did the wrong thing about being arrogant and arrogant." After Zhu Jianshen finished speaking, he glanced at Zhang Bao, and Zhang Baoye hurriedly greeted Two young eunuchs carried a box to Shi Heng's side.
When the box was opened, it was all inscriptions and memorials.
When Shi Heng was confused, Zhu Jianshen said: "In these years, I have ignored the impeachment of officials against you, because I know that some of it is right and some of it is wrong. It doesn't matter whether it is right or wrong." , you are all my heroes, I will not hold you accountable, but you should pay more attention."
"I still have two boxes like this, specially prepared for Marquis Wu Yang. If all three boxes are filled with impeachments against Marquis Wu Yang, then I will still have a good chat with Marquis Wu Yang. .”
After listening to His Majesty the Emperor's words, Shi Heng was confused.
So many memorials are meant to impeach myself.
I have not always been the most valued general by His Majesty the Emperor.
The rising star of the Ming Dynasty.
In the blink of an eye, he had already committed countless sins.
Moreover, His Majesty also kept three boxes for himself. Even if he didn't understand these twists and turns, he still knew that the day when these three boxes were full was the day His Majesty the Emperor took action against him.
Of course, these three boxes do not exist. This is a warning line marked by Zhu Jianshen to Shi Heng.
Let him remind himself at all times that his status is here, what should be said, what cannot be said, what can be done, and what cannot be done to death.
Of course, there are many things in this that Shi Heng needs to think about.
The impeachment memorial is meaningless to the emperor. The civil officials feel that you have done something wrong and pose a threat to the court. It is not a big deal. But if the emperor feels that you pose a threat to him, even if there is no evidence, Your life is at risk.
These things, depending on Shi Heng's character, would take a long time to realize.
In Zhu Jianshen's view, Shi Heng was a master who would take the hard and not the soft. And although he was good at fighting, he had some shortcomings in getting along with others, especially in dealing with the relationship between monarch and ministers.
According to Zhu Jianshen, Shi Heng is just someone who says he doesn’t listen, listens but doesn’t understand, understands but doesn’t change, corrects but doesn’t change, denies when wrong, admits but doesn’t change, and doesn’t accept the change. , if he is not convinced, he will also say, such a person.
A general with this kind of character would be a headache for any emperor to encounter.
Under normal circumstances, Zhu Jianshen could have treated him coldly and given him the position of governor and stayed in the capital. However, Zhu Jianshen felt that if such a cruel and bloodthirsty general did not go to meet the rioters in Annan, the puppet court would , it’s my fault again.
Shi Heng's heart was in turmoil at this time.
He returned to the capital, which he missed day and night, and met His Majesty, whom he missed day and night, but the capital was no longer the capital he was familiar with, and His Majesty was no longer the one he was familiar with.
Shi Heng was stunned, not knowing what to say, which made Zhu Jianshen sigh in his heart. At this time, how could he not continue to express his loyalty and change the subject.
Seeing that Shi Heng could not react, Zhu Jianshen was the only one who guided him. He paused for a moment and said, "Marquis Wu Yang, I know in my heart that you are loyal to me and to the Ming Dynasty."
After hearing His Majesty the Emperor's words, Shi Heng suddenly woke up and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the loyalty of humble ministers to Your Majesty and to the Ming Dynasty can be learned from the sun and the moon, Your Majesty."
After hearing Shi Heng's words, Zhu Jianshen nodded with satisfaction.
"I know, I know everything, but Marquis Wuyang, when you act on weekdays, you still have to think about me. An emperor who often misses the mark will not have a good reputation. Those emperors The historians are watching you every day, wishing you would make mistakes, be imprisoned, and be killed. They have a reputation of not fearing power, but I want to have an infamy of killing loyal ministers and heroes." BIquGe.biz
"You went to Liaodong. I asked you to go. You not only represent Wu Xun, but also me. You have committed something, and it will bring disgrace to my face if others say it."
After the beating was completed, Zhu Jianshen now turned on the blame-shifting mode.
It's not that I'm keeping an eye on you, it's those civil servants and censors who are keeping an eye on you. It's also because of them that I beat you.
You should fight against them in the future, and don't have any dissatisfaction with me. Otherwise, it will show a little bit. At that time, I won't care whether you are drunk or not.
After listening to Zhu Jianshen's words, Shi Heng was scared and moved.
What I was afraid of was that the emperor was ruthless. Shi Biao was right. His Majesty the Emperor really dared to kill him.
What was touching was that His Majesty the Emperor regarded himself as one of his own family members and did not hesitate to criticize directly after speaking. Which of his ministers would be treated like this?
It turns out that His Majesty the Emperor has not changed, he is just a little disappointed with himself. He has returned to the capital, and it will not take long for him to regain his favor.
"Your Majesty, I know that I will be strict with myself in the future and will not dare to cause any more trouble to Your Majesty."
After hearing Shi Heng's words, Zhu Jianshen nodded with satisfaction, and then smiled lightly.
Seeing that His Majesty the Emperor's mood had changed a bit, Shi Heng also calmed down a little. What he thought was indeed right...
