.Chapter 767
According to Emperor Shizong Su's last wish, the funeral was changed from day to month, and the folk mourning was twenty-seven months, and the royal family was twenty-seven days, less than one month.
But it was also difficult enough. During this month, the ministers accompanied the new emperor Emperor Longqing, and had to stay in front of Emperor Shizong's spirit every day. They cried and worshiped several times a day. They could not go home, bathe, or shave their faces. They were all dirty and looked like prisoners. It made Chen Si feel a bit ridiculous. What happened to me this year? Why did I leave this prison and go to another person and always get personal freedom? Could it be that I would not have violated Tai Sui?
In fact, he knew very well that Tai Sui, who had caused disasters to him, had already lie quietly in the spiritual frame of the Ganqing Palace. He was the emperor of the Great Street who had been playing with his destiny in his hands, not just himself? Who among the ministers and cabinet officials had not been played with by him for half his life?
The late emperor used power to govern the court for four years, and turned his hands into clouds and turned his hands into rain. The emperor's heart was unpredictable, and rewards and punishments were impermanent, which made the ministers feel scared and afraid, and he was still confused, and did not dare to step beyond the line. Although the country was made into a mess, it was as thick as a lump, but it was always in power and self-centered.
It is said that the fittest will survive. After the baptism of the harsh environment of the Jiajing Dynasty, the officials of the Ming Dynasty had long been trained to have a profound knowledge of Taoism and the wild beasts became ferocious. Sure enough, during the late emperor's serious illness, the ministers fought secretly for the quota of Grand Secretary in the court. The open struggle between Xu Jie and Gao Gong in the cabinet was filled with heavy smoke of gunpowder, and it was more direct and unconcealed than before. It was quite a bit like there was no tiger in the mountains, and monkeys called the king.
Now that the new king has ascended the throne, he wants to subdue these powerful generals and brothers, he can't do it without some immortality. And Emperor Longqing's response is to release him silently and...
It is said that Emperor Shizong passed away on the third day of the lunar month. Early the next morning, Ma Sen and Emperor Longqing... At that time, it was the handwriting of King Yu, so he went to the Pacification Office to release the silence. The Thirteenth Taibao naturally would not stop him, and Huanhuan sent him out of the yamen happily.
After coming out, he asked Masen silently if the late emperor had the will. Because he released himself at this time, he was quite interested in using the power to demote himself first and concentrate on the new king. Therefore, knowing whether the will is is crucial to his next step.
Masen denied it.
In theory, Ma Sen should not answer the question of the palace secret, but he answered without thinking, and answered in detail... In fact, Ma Sen was Ma Quan, who accompanied him in the southern tour. Because of his contribution to protecting the emperor, he was named Sen by Jiajing and promoted to the chief pen of the Silijian. He became the brightest star in the eunuch world and the most popular star in the successor to the Silijian.
Unfortunately, Li Fang, who was a good-for-speaking seal, made his godson Huang Jin take over, and Ma Sen missed the position of the general manager, so he was so incompatible with Huang Jin. Now that Shizong is in great service, the new king has entered the throne, and the eunuchs in Yu Mansion must have been as good as the gods. In fact, he and Huang Jin and other old emperors should have left the throne obediently. Huang Jin thought so, but Ma Sen didn't want to. He was disabled and strong in his will, and he had been struggling for half a lifetime, and he had not yet taken the throne of the boss's throne, and the boss's throne, so how could he give up halfway? He was not going to retreat even if he was not successful.
If you don’t want to retreat, you will have to win the trust of the new king. He believes that he has an advantage in this regard, because he has protected King Yu in the storm of Hai Rui’s book, so he may not have no hope at all. Of course, relying on that little opportunity alone is far from enough, and he needs strong support. He believes that the best candidate is Lord Shen.
After deliberately making friends better than him, Ma Sen naturally did not hide anything and said in a low voice: "Since the late emperor's death, our family has never left the front of the late emperor, but he has not seen him leave any will for the Sijun..." He paused and said: "Later, the Shengjia moved from the Xiyuan to the Ganqing Palace, and the late emperor summoned only Yang Bo. Before he could talk to King Yu, he fainted until he died in the middle of the night and did not wake up again."
"Is there any secret edict that Yang Bo should be transferred to the new emperor?" Ma Sen denied himself and said, "No, since it is a secret edict, how can I let the ministers pass it?" Chen Si nodded slowly, expressing his agreement.
On the way, Masen told Chen Si that what happened last night was the original one. When he heard that the new king had set his own year name and Longqing, Chen Si couldn't help laughing and said to himself, Longqing Longqing, grand celebration, "Why did he give such a name? He heard Masen talk about the new king's performance at that time, he frowned slightly and understood three points.
The carriage drove onto Chang'an Street, and the two of them silenced. After walking for a while, the car stopped and got off the carriage in silence. Then they saw a huge carriage parked not far away.
The old friend Huang Jin brought a piece of white linen, asked to tie it in silence, and whispered: "The new master is waiting for the chariot."
Silence pointed at him seriously, and stepped on the horse stool and went on the imperial chariot. Sure enough, he saw Zhu Zai'er standing there with an excited expression on his face.
The two looked at each other and felt like they were different.
"Keep your Majesty." Although Zhu Zaixia has not officially ascended the throne, he doesn't mind upgrading his name long ago.
"Mr. Chen..." Zhu Zaiye stepped forward, held him in his arms, and said with emotion: "You have suffered a lot...
"I'm fine,... I smiled silently, "Your Majesty, I've suffered over the years..."
Hearing this, Zhu Zai'er felt a sore nose and choked, "Without you and Master Gao, I can't survive today." As he said that, he burst into tears and said, "Old out of p" "Old out of p" "Old out of p" "Old out of p" "Old out of p" "Old out of p" "Old out of p" "Old out of p" "Old out of p"
A man doesn't cry easily, but he hasn't felt sad. I know that he has been silent over the years, and it's really worth crying that he can survive the crisis and endure the old emperor to death.
He shed tears with the new king and said quietly: "Your Majesty, please let me finish the gift."
Zhu Zaiye shook his head and said, "When there is no one in private, I hope you can do it like you did, not treat me as a prince, nor as a student, but as your friend." The suppressed heart is also particularly sensitive, and he can accurately feel the silence's attitude towards himself.
"It turns out that you are the prince, but now you are the emperor." Chen Shu refused: "The courtesy cannot be abolished."
"Do I still lack people to kowtow?" Zhu Zai'an said angrily: "I don't want to be a lonely man like my father. I hope I can still have friendship!" Without waiting for silent speech, he said anxiously: "Don't say that the emperor cannot have friends. My father's lifelong cultivation proves that the emperor is also a human being, and he also has birth, old age, sickness and death. In this case, why can't he have a normal relationship?"
This argument is so novel. He looked at Zhu Zaiye silently, thinking that this is true. The serf turned over and sang, remembering that it was one after another... But he was still a little moved by the friendship from the future emperor and sighed softly: "I obey the order." He agreed, just to make the emperor happy, but he would definitely not be so shackled... If he didn't treat the emperor as an outsider, well, it would be not far from his death.
"That's great." Zhu Zaiye believed it, and then came out and said, "I'll accompany me to enter the venue later."
After hearing this, he smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, I forgive you for your difficulty in obedience. How can I give you a gift easily?" The so-called "正" means to accompany the king to ride a car with him. In ancient times, the right was the most respected, and the king sat on the right and the driver sat in the middle. In order to maintain balance, someone had to sit on the left, which was called "正". Before the Han Dynasty, the guardian of high force was a powerful guard. After the Han Dynasty, he became only the prime minister and could accompany the emperor to ride a carriage.
What's more, now is the first time that the new king has officially debuted, and its importance is nothing more than the throne ceremony. Silence is not the prime minister, and even the cabinet is incomplete. How can he bear this kindness?
It is important for a person to know himself, so he is determined not to suffer this unreasonable blessing.
"I am going to let the people of the world know... Zhu Zai'er insisted: "I am unfair to you like my father, I want to restore your reputation!"
I realized the silence now. It seemed that it was indeed not Jiajing's last wish, but the new king's own idea... It is also possible that Jiajing had seen through his son and knew that as soon as he came to power, he would go against him. Therefore, if he had an order, he would do this in one go, so it would be better to say nothing, and the effect would be better.
With silence, the latter is more likely to be.
But no matter how silent he said, Zhu Zai'er didn't let him go, and was stubborn like a child.
The two were competing, and three cannons came from outside, and no one said hello first. The sedan chairmen raised the imperial chariot high. Now they had to jump down if they wanted to leave, and there was still danger of Wei's feet.
Seeing Zhu Zaiye laughing proudly, silently shook his head secretly, and said to himself:, okay, let everyone in the world know that I, Hu Hansan, are back again."
When he walked down from the imperial chariot first, the psychological impact on all officials was absolutely unparalleled. Not only Hu Hansan returned, but even Nan Batian could not compare. In the eyes of many people, this is to declare the rise of the fourth pole force besides Xu Jie, Gao Gong and Yang Bo. Although it is not as strong as the former, it is worse than young and has a solid foundation. It is only a matter of time before it surpasses them.
At first, I was silent and thought that this was the kindness of the new emperor, but after guarding for the last emperor for a few days, I realized that Zhu Zai'an was also planning... The fuse was the "Jiajing Envoy".
On the first seventh day of the late emperor, although the important officials could not leave the Da Nei, they could finally be more relaxed. The new king had long been unable to stand it, so he gave everyone a half day off to let them rest in the palace. It is said that this is not in accordance with the etiquette, but those who can guard the Da Nei are all auxiliary ministers of the cabinet, six ministries and nine ministers. The old masters could not stand it, so they all were happy to accept it, and no one would have been very disgusting.
Everyone came to the east courtyard of the Ganqing Palace, where there was a row of beehive-like pay-off rooms, which was their temporary residence.
During the mourning period, it was not easy to visit at will. I was silent and prepared to go back to my house to rest, but I heard someone calling me and say, "Jiangnan."
When he heard Gao Gong's voice, he quickly turned around and saluted, "Gei Lao."
"Haha, OK." Gao Gong bowed to him and said, "I haven't seen you for a long time. Come and sit in my room."
"It's better to obey your orders than respect." The old boss invited me, and the rules had to be put aside first.
So the two of them came to Gaogong's room at the south end of Kinnan... The one on the north side of Kinzhi was from Xujie. Gaogong should be next to the second one, but he firmly chose the one that was farthest from Xujie, which was indeed a bit unrestrained.
When I entered the room, I saw another cabinet minister, Guo Pu, who was also inside. It was nothing strange. Gao Guo and Guo were both lucky and Meng were lucky, which made people wonder if they had an affair.
However, the silence showed moderate surprise and hurriedly said, "Ge Lao Guo is here too."
Guo Pu politely said to him: "Brother Jiangnan, we don't see much, but in my heart, you and I have been in harmony for a long time." This is going to be friends with his peers... Although he was silent and was considered a second-rank official, he had no need for Guo Pu to be so frank.
As the saying goes, 'If you respect the virtuous and the inferior, you must have something to ask for." Lao Guo is so kind? It is just for Mr. Xu.
The three of them sat down, Gao Gong was in the main seat, and was silent and wanted to accompany the last seat. Guo Pu insisted on not sitting with him, and he was not allowed to sit there.
The two were being humble, but Gao Gong couldn't stand it anymore and said, "How can we be a member of us be confined to the vain rituals and waste great time in vain!" Seeing that the two of us finally stopped to make trouble, Gao Gong opened the conversation and said, "What do Jiangnan thinks about it?" Gao Gong was straightforward and made a move.
"I was with Sijun in the Huangji Palace that day, but I didn't hear it clearly." If you want to advance and retreat, you have to pretend to be confused with your understanding.
"Find one for Jiangnan to read." Du Gong issued an order to Guo Pu.
Guo Pu picked up a copy from the table, handed it to Chen Si, and sighed and said, "Oh, look, I can't bear to read it."
I took it silently and made a careful reading statement. In fact, he could recite the four hundred and fifty-word will instruct him. The biggest feeling was that he looked at Xu Jie with admiration; not just himself? The will he issued it to the world, and I am afraid that everyone in the world will re-recognize this, Licorice Old Man.
I used to think that Xu Jie flattered and was evil about the king, but now I think that he was a false and endured humiliation.
Originally, he thought he would not dare to advise Jun Jiang to abolish the evil politics, but now he thought that Ge Lao Xu was not careless, but the time was not here.
Those who originally thought that he had no achievements and could not save the Ming Dynasty would now ignite hope for him again; especially those officials of all sizes who were restored due to the will will definitely support Xu Jie unconditionally.
It is conceivable that with the implementation step by step, Xu Jie's influence and power will rise step by step. Not only is there no minister who can check and balance him, but even the emperor will obey his advice... This will definitely make Gao Gong restless and find silence to be revealed.
"Have you finished reading?" Seeing that Chen Mo raised his head and stared at him, Gao Gong immediately asked.
Silently nodded, Gao Gong asked, "What does it feel?"
When you see people talking, you will talk nonsense. Of course, you can't say Xu Jie in front of Gao Gong, so you pondered: "The tone is a bit too much... It's a mistake in the right direction and peace."
Gao Gong had a little relief on his face and said to Guo Pu: "How is it? I said Jiangnan is a straight man and will not speak against his conscience, right?"
Qi Pu nodded and said, "Jiangnan and Xu Huating have a teacher-student relationship, and there are some things that are hard to say." As he said, he emphasized, "If you want me to say, the person who drafts this memorial should be killed!"
Why did he shout and kill him when he came up? Chen Si scratched his head and said, "It has been issued and cannot be taken back. At this time, who will pursue his noble responsibilities, which will make the people of the world laugh at the late emperor."
"Yes..." Gao Gong didn't know that silently said the truth, but he still couldn't help but complain to him: "You don't believe it. Xu Huating planned this, but our three people in the cabinet were not aware of it. It was not until the time of the publication that we heard it for the first time." He slapped the table and said, "What did Xu Jie treat the rest of the cabinet as?"
"Ah..." Chen Si said in surprise: "The will cannot be drawn by one person alone, this is an iron rule."
"He is not a solo person," Guo Pu continued, "You can't even guess who you are looking for."
"Who?" asked silently.
"His student, Zhang Juzheng, Minister of the Ministry of Revenue!" Gao Gong said angrily: "Xu Jie instructed him to Zhang Juzheng to write. Why do you think they need to take off their pants and fart? Does Zhang Juzheng dare to disobey his teacher's word?"
"What kind of virtue is Zhang Taiyue?" Guo Pu also said angrily: "Just the most experienced minister, but Xu Jie jumped over the cabinet, skipped the Nine Ministers, and just looked for him, just to act arbitrarily and pull a fig leaf for him!"
"If he made a reasonable plan, we won't say anything." Gao Gong sighed and said, "But look at what he scolded the late emperor? The late emperor was the hero, and he had been in power for forty-five years. Did he do all the bad things? The current emperor is his own son, and he ascended the throne at the age of thirty, and is not a child. Even if those sins are true, Xu Huating tells the world all the way. How do people think of the late emperor and the current two generations of kings?" After a pause, he became more and more excited and said, "Aside from talking about the things about the zhai, did he, Young Master Xu, get involved in those big projects? Those big construction projects are all planned by his father and son. Why didn't the late emperor mention it when he was alive, but instead agreed with him. Now people start to scold when they die. Isn't this sacrifice to the late emperor to protect or even fulfill himself? Is this what the minister did?"
After saying that, he cried with Guo Pu: "I can't bear it..."
Siren sighed for a while, but he disagreed.
I’m so sorry. I sent an invitation yesterday. When I came back, I wanted to write at least one chapter. But I was sleepy and fell asleep as I wrote. When I opened my eyes, I was eight o’clock. I quickly finished writing and sent it out. Write more today and compensate everyone.
Chapter completed!
