Chapter 115: The golden cicada escapes its shell, and righteousness is in action

New Year and new atmosphere. On the first day of the first lunar month of the first year of Zhengde, the capital was filled with joy and a prosperous scene.

The people were sad after seeing off the Hongzhi reign title and the generous and kind Emperor Xiaozong, but today, everyone forgot all the sad things and devoted themselves to this festive atmosphere.

Moreover, although the new emperor was young and a little naughty, there were rumors in the capital that over the past two months, with the support and advice of several great scholars, the emperor had shown his style of a wise ruler.

In the past two months, the emperor not only followed the advice of several respected great scholars in the court, but even acted in accordance with the rules. What's more, the emperor also restrained the royal relatives and then rewarded the civil officials. It was really what the ancient saint king did!

You should know that the money given by the emperor was taken out of the inner treasury. Such a generous emperor would probably be able to catch up with the Three Emperors and Five Emperors. There are also rumors that several people asked to close the imperial farm in college, and the emperor wanted to allow it. It was really amazing.

What is the imperial village? It is the emperor's own property, and it is all used to provide relief to the border people. Today's emperor is really extremely wise and wise. The Censor said well, "There is no greater filial piety than to win the joy of the world." The emperor is so wise, he will definitely move the world and bless the Ming Dynasty with good weather and peace for thousands of years.

Therefore, the first month of the capital this year is more lively than in previous years, and this atmosphere even infected the ministers in the court.

When I was offering sacrifices to heaven, I should have been solemn and solemn, but when I heard Qingping Zhizhang, all the adults couldn't stop smiling. I couldn't be unhappy. I was a little erratic today, and everyone was worried. Who would have thought that he would understand the truth so quickly? It was really gratifying.

The drums and music changed again, and when the Youping Chapter was about to end, the court officials were all looking at the three people in the front. Some were full of envy, some were expecting, and some were covered with jealousy. Everyone understood that these three people would soon become the most powerful people in the world.

The three great scholars were the ministers who were entrusted with orphans, and the elders of the founder of the emperor in a few months. A naughty boy actually had the atmosphere of a saint's rule. In this way, how could anyone shake the status of several great scholars?

"Go back to the palace!" The Han general shouted in unison. Among the neat ceremonial guards, Huang Luo Huagai seemed to be in a strict atmosphere, with a royal atmosphere.

"Zi Qiao, your Majesty has the style of today, thanks to your sincere advice." After the sacrifice to heaven, the three great scholars also started talking to each other. The person who spoke was an old man over 70 years old. His hair was white, but his eyes were not turbid at all, and he looked quite sharp.

"Haha, Brother Xixian is too good. Assisting the Holy Emperor is a matter of my generation, so how can we talk about any contribution? Besides, this matter was also done by the three of us, so how could it be Xie Qian alone?" Xie Qian's face was red. I don't know if he was so excited or was excited, but his words were introverted.

"Haha, Ziqiao doesn't have to be too humble. When you come to the palace to report things recently, whenever Your Majesty hesitates, as long as you mention Ziqiao's name, Your Majesty will agree. If it's not your success in guiding you, who else can you?" Xixian is the name of Grand Secretary Liu Jian. Liu Jian is now full of complacent and smiles happily.

"Zi Qiao, Binzhi, it's still early, how about going to a humble house for a drink? I have to cancel the matter of the imperial village and I have to take a closer look with you." Seeing the ceremonial war entered the palace city, Liu Jian spoke out and invited.

"I heard that Brother Xixian got a good wine and another masterpiece of the Right Army, so I happened to disturb him." The three of them were very familiar with each other, and Xie Qian was not polite and agreed immediately. Without seeing Li Dongyang agree, he was a little surprised. When he turned to look, he saw Li Dongyang frowning slightly, not knowing what he was thinking about, but he didn't seem to have heard what he had just talked about.

"Binzhi, what's the matter? You're so frowning?" Xie Qian said in surprise.

"Brother Xixian, Ziqiao, don't you think Your Majesty is a little weird recently?" Li Dongyang's face turned pale and he had a great Confucian style.

"Strange?" Xie Qian recalled and said, "Nothing is strange? Isn't it great for Your Majesty to do this now?"

Li Dongyang shook his head, "When Your Majesty was still the crown prince, he was not calm due to the pampering of the late emperor. Although we taught him carefully, Your Majesty still did his own thing. It has been like this for many years, even a few months after Your Majesty ascended the throne. And last time he suddenly wanted to leave the capital and was blocked by us, his temperament changed drastically... I always feel a little strange."

"There is no need to worry about Binzhi. As long as I do my best, Your Majesty will understand one day. Let's disperse today. We will not move here. My colleagues can also eat the cold wind, haha." Liu Jian laughed.

Li and Xie nodded when they heard this and waited to leave together. At this moment, a small eunuch suddenly ran out of the imperial city and rushed straight to the three of them. The man ran very fast and looked anxious. The three of them were shocked when they saw it from afar and couldn't help but stop.

"Three sirs, our family came to ask questions by the Queen Mother's order." The little eunuch asked in a low voice until he approached, "The Queen Mother asked, where is Your Majesty?"

This question was really unexpected. The three great scholars looked at each other, and finally Xie Qian said, "Didn't your Majesty just return to the palace?"

"The only one who returned to the palace was the ceremonial guard, but His Majesty was not here. Didn't the three lords go to sacrifice to heaven with His Majesty and come back together? Why didn't you see His Majesty?" The little eunuch knew the severity of the matter, and although he was anxious, his voice was always low.

"Your Majesty hasn't returned to the palace? How is this possible? Not only are I and three others, but all the officials are also with you. How could you disappear? You are still there when you worship the sky." Xie Qian was cold all over and tried to recall the scene when he worshiped the sky. It was obviously true. When the people were worshiping the sky, they were still there. How could there be no one when they followed so many people?

"Is there anyone missing? Are the ones who often serve His Majesty still there?" Li Dongyang Su is known for his cleverness. After being shocked, he immediately calmed down and asked in a deep voice.

"Qian Ning, Gu Dayong, and Liu Jin's those who followed His Majesty to sacrifice to the sky have not come back, and the others who didn't go out are still there." The little eunuch replied without thinking. The palace was already in chaos, how could these people be missed?

"Oh no!" Li Dongyang thought of it and pondered: "Your Majesty brought a lot of Jinyiwei to worship the sky today. The old minister was a little strange. Could it be that Your Majesty..."

Before Li Dongyang finished speaking, another eunuch ran out of the palace city. This man was obviously not as calm as the one who came out first. He shouted from afar: "Three lords, the queen mother found this letter in the emperor's bedroom and asked me to show it to the three lords."

The first person who reported the news had already aroused the doubts of all officials. When the second person came out and shouted, there was a stir in the crowd and everyone was already talking. However, everyone's attention was focused on the third Grand Secretary, and no one noticed that a mysterious smile appeared on the corner of the mouth of the Minister of Works, Lord Zeng.

"Take it to me!" Liu Jian took the letter from the eunuch with a cold face, opened it and saw only a few words on it: "I have gone to inspect the border, please ask the grandmasters to take good care of their homes." That's right, it was the tone of His Majesty, but this content...

Even though Grand Secretary Liu was old and had experienced many storms, he was frightened and frightened. At this moment, he was still staring and his chest was stuffy. After a while, he calmed down and said slowly: "Your Majesty ran away..."

Xie Qian's city was not as good as Liu Jian. After hearing Liu Jian's words, he felt that the eyes were dark and he fell to the sky. Fortunately, Li Dongyang reacted quickly and helped him in time.

Xie Qian was so energetic that he was worshiping the sky. He leaned softly on Li Dongyang and cried, "The emperor has never been to steal the situation. If Your Majesty had a chance, what would the country and country of the Ming Dynasty be? How could we have the face to meet the late emperor in the nine straits? The old minister would feel ashamed..."

Li Dongyang shouted coldly, "Zi Qiao, now is not the time to say this. All officials are still there. Don't lose your manners, let alone let the news spread, otherwise..." Xie Qian calmed down when he shouted, and although he was still anxious, he stopped crying.

Li Gongshu and Liu Gongshu said that Liu Jian was very quick to see things, and he ignored Xie Qian, who cried and said decisively: "Sacrificing to the sky is in the southern suburbs. Your Majesty must have left the capital now. This news cannot be leaked. You can only teach the passes to strengthen the garrison and send people to search everywhere."

Li Dongyang nodded and said, "What Brother Xixian said is very true. Last time, Your Majesty said he was going to Xuanfu. This time he said that he would go west to inspect the border. He must have gone west. You should quickly send him to Juyongguan. The inspector Wang Xinliang was ordered to inspect the pass at Juyongguan. This person is my younger brother's disciple. He has always been upright. As long as he gets the news, he will be able to block Your Majesty under Juyongguan."

"What Bin said is the most true, so follow Bin."

The culprit who made the capital messy is now happy.

Mixed among a group of Jinyiwei, Zhu Houzhao was wearing a flying fish suit. On the left was Liu Jin with a confused face, on the right was Gu Dayong, with a dead face, and Qian Ning with his eyes straightened, following behind, only he looked around happily.

"Wow, that tree is so big and lush, is it a pine tree?"

Where did the big trees come from in the winter? Qian Ning subconsciously looked up and looked at the dead tree branches with laughter and cry, and replied weakly: "Your Majesty, that's a poplar tree..."

"Oh, I said Lao Liu, it's great. It's so easy to come out. Why are you two so listless? You have to cheer up. Look at the scenery is picturesque and beautiful." Zhengde was too happy and even forgot about the question of title.

It was the first day of the Lunar New Year, and it was the coldest time of winter. The Hebei Plain was bleak. At first glance, there was no green at all. Liu Jin and Gu Dayong looked up at the sound, looking at the barren mountains and dead trees around him, but they felt even more confused. This is also called the scenery is picturesque. Long live, don’t you be happy or confused?

Seeing Zhengde happy, Liu Jin plucked up the courage to ask, "Long live, where are we going?"

He really didn't know anything, and was inexplicably pulled up by a group of Jinyiwei. He thought that Wang Yue was going to kill him secretly. When he found out that it was okay and came back to his senses, he found that he was following Zhengde and had already left the capital.

"Go to inspect the border." Zhengde said in a natural tone, and then asked in surprise: "Didn't I notify you?"

"This is really not..." Liu Jin burst into tears. It turns out that in Long Sui Ye, you still have us in your heart? You can remember to notify the old slave.

"Dayong, you are really good. Haven't I discussed it with you and Qian Ning? You both didn't tell Lao Liu, you saw that those who surprised him and they all cried." Zhengde complained to Gu Dayong.

"So you are discussing with the old slave?" Gu Dayong also cried. Long lively, what's the matter?

Last night, Zhengde was supposed to be in a fasting bath, but Gu Dayong inexplicably found that Zhengde appeared in his room, and then proudly ordered himself to cooperate tomorrow. If this is also called negotiation, then what is the order?

"Hmm? Then we've discussed it now. Dayi, Lao Liu, what do you think we'll go to inspect the border together? Hey, what's your eyes? If you don't like it, you can go back to the capital first. I don't like to force others the most." Zhu Houzhao has always been kind.

"It's better to listen to you..." Gu Dayong and Liu Jin said in unison. There may be a way to survive with you. If you were just like this, you wouldn't be eaten raw by Wang Yue and those civil servants? The fool would have gone back.

"Qian Ning, there are still many shortcomings in this action. After you go back, you must summarize the experience and lessons. It will be easier when we come back next time." His opinion was sincerely supported by his subordinates. Zhu Houzhao nodded with satisfaction, then started criticism and self-criticism, and looked forward to the future.

"There's another time..." Qian Ning couldn't help but cry. I don't know if he's alive when he's back this time, but next time? Oh my god!

"Okay, it seems that you can't wait, let's speed up." Zhengde waved his hand with a high spirit.

"Long live, you said you were patrolling the border...we are we going?" Liu Jin asked hesitantly.

"Go to Xuanfu." Zhengde's eyes rolled and found a reason, "Didn't Miao Kui say that the Tartars are rampant and the border is in urgent need? I'll go to meet the Tartars in person."

Liu Jin and Gu Dayong rolled their eyes together. It was all about half a year ago. Is it good? It would be strange if you can see the Tartars now.

Liu Jin was more familiar with political affairs, and remembered another thing, saying, "Long lively, Li Dongyang's disciple Wang Xinliang is in Juyongguan. That person is also a stubborn man. I'm afraid he may not be willing to turn on and let us go, right?"

Seeing that Zhengde was in high spirits, Liu Jin didn't expect to persuade him to go back, so he simply said something troublesome, trying to dispel Zhengde's idea of ​​going to Xuanfu.

"That Censor..." Zhengde scratched the back of his head, and was also a little distressed, but he had been enduring it for two months to go to Xuanfu, so he would not retreat because of this little difficulty. He thought for a while, then clapped his hands and smiled, "It doesn't matter, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and I will have a solution."

Your method? Several followers looked at each other and had an ominous premonition. What is the unreliable method?
