Chapter 645: Rehabilitation
Jiajing moved and immediately got into the carriage and headed towards the Great Gaoxuan Hall.!
His heart was filled with anger.
I originally thought that Xu Qian was on his side and would definitely understand his feelings and would join him in spurning Liang Teng.
Who would have thought that this guy turned his arm outward and actually ran to Liang's house.
His mood fell to the bottom. Huang Jin, who was following him, naturally did not dare to provoke him and followed him step by step, feeling very anxious.
What should I do now? This Xu Qian is really careless. How could he not know the seriousness of such a thing? Isn't this deliberately adding salt to His Majesty's wound? Isn't this openly seeking death?
The more Huang Jin thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, and he felt uneasy.
Jiajing suddenly said: "Stop."
As soon as Luan Jia stopped, the eunuchs and guards behind him stopped one after another.
Jiajing, who was sitting on the armchair, said slowly: "Huang Banban..."
Huang Jin felt a chill at the back of his head and hurriedly ran forward and said, "My servant is here."
Jiajing said: "Tell me, what does Xu Qian mean?"
He asked the question suddenly, seemingly confused, and also seemed to be seeking psychological comfort.
Huang Jin did not dare to hesitate and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, I think that Mr. Xu is aboveboard. His doing so proves his loyalty to Your Majesty. If he is an opportunistic person, how can he dare to do such a thing? Only in his heart
Only a sincere person is willing to..."
The more Huang Jin said, the more outrageous he felt, but he couldn't do it without saying good things. He and Xu Qian were in the same boat. If Xu Qian's boat capsized, he, Huang Jin, would also be ruined. Huang Jin was not a fool. Adding insult to injury at this time would only
It was over, so I gritted my teeth and defended Xu Qian.
This explanation is indeed outrageous. The more you do something that His Majesty doesn't like, the more sincerity you show. In this way, those envoys are really unjust. What they do every day are things that the Emperor doesn't like very much. But
In Jiajing's view, these people were all a group of bastards who could kill thousands of people. If it hadn't been against the court's rule not to kill officials, Jiajing would have confiscated their homes and exterminated their clans.
But at this time, Jiajing's expression actually softened a bit.
Huang Jin felt strange that his crooked reasoning could actually persuade the emperor?
In fact, the human heart is like this. The same words may be said by others, and the person concerned may become angry, but the same words may have a different meaning if said by someone close to them. The so-called wise man is suspicious of his neighbor. In fact, the same words are said by someone close to him.
That's what it means.
Jiajing still frowned, but said: "Come on, go back. I just want to hear how Xu Qian explains this."
As a result, everyone had to go back to Nuan Pavilion again.
At this time, Xu Qian finally arrived at the Meridian Gate and went all the way to Nuan Pavilion. When he saw Jiajing, he saluted and said: "Xu Qian, a humble minister, has met your majesty. Long live my emperor."
Jiajing's expression could not be said to be good or bad, and he remained silent for a moment.
But Huang Jin was facing Xu Qian, with his back to Jiajing, and kept winking at Xu Qian.
Xu Qian said again: "I have seen your Majesty."
Jiajing then said slowly: "Isn't the Liang Mansion more comfortable than my Nuange?"
Saying this with irony is also a kind of temptation.
Jiajing was deliberately thorny in his words many times, but the emperor's words were thorny and there was nothing anyone could do about it.
Xu Qian said seriously: "Your Majesty, I did go to the Liang Mansion, but I went to the Liang Mansion because I wanted to pay homage to my old friend."
Jiajing's face was numb and he said calmly: "Then do you know that your old friend is a sinner in my eyes?"
Xu Qian fell silent.
There was no sound in the Nuan Pavilion, and you could hear a needle drop.
Jiajing seemed a little impatient and couldn't help but ask: "Why didn't you speak? Why, you feel guilty now, or maybe you knew it and you don't know how to end it?"
Xu Qian was silent for a moment, and then said: "Your Majesty, I am thinking about something. What crime did Liang Teng commit?"
Jiajing's face suddenly changed and he said angrily: "I'm spying on the palace for evil purposes!"
Xu Qian sighed and said: "Wei Chen thinks that Liang Teng is not guilty. The reason why Liang Teng is guilty is because he is confused. He is wrong, but not guilty. His fault is that he does not understand your majesty, just as many people do not understand Wei Chen."
Similarly, when Wei Chen was in Zhejiang and implemented the New Deal, many people did not understand it.
They were also confused. They didn’t know why Wei Chen wanted to implement the New Deal, so they slandered, criticized, and even uttered slanderous words, but Wei Chen ignored him because they didn’t understand Wei Chen. In Wei Chen’s eyes, they were just ordinary people, a bunch of people.
Ordinary people, why should I care about them?"
"The same is true for Your Majesty. Your Majesty seeks immortality in the palace, just hoping for immortality. This idea has existed since ancient times. Even Emperors of the Tang Dynasty and Han Dynasty cannot avoid it. I don't dare to comment on Your Majesty's idea. I just know that even though Your Majesty is here,
I searched for immortals and medicine in the palace, but nothing happened.
There is no delay in political affairs. Your Majesty has read the memorials of the imperial court, which is enough. However, your Majesty and the officials may not understand you. They have their own ideas, and sometimes they even speak too harshly, but that is just from their heart, for the sake of
Your Majesty, this is just for the good of the country.
Especially Mr. Liang, Mr. Liang has been working conscientiously in the Ministry of Household Affairs and has never neglected his job over the years. This time, he was indeed in a hurry. He just hoped that His Majesty could be a good emperor in his mind, so Wei Chen thought that Mr. Liang had nothing to do.
crime."
These words made Jiajing's expression suddenly soften.
Xu Qian did not criticize Jiajing directly, but took a conciliatory approach, excusing Liang Teng while showing Jiajing's differences.
It means that Your Majesty, you are unique, how can others understand your thoughts, but you are the emperor, how can you incriminate your ministers because of this?
Jiajing said calmly: "That's all, this matter is in the past."
He was obviously psychologically satisfied, so he didn't want to pursue the matter further.
Xu Qian smiled slightly and said: "Your Majesty, since Liang Teng is not guilty, why can't Your Majesty show generosity? Your Majesty, have you ever thought that there are many criticisms in the world now. Your Majesty is compared to Zhengde, and some people compare Weichen to Liu Jin.
Wei Chen
The purpose of worshiping Liang Teng is, on the one hand, for Wei Chen, and on the other hand, for Your Majesty. In this way, the people of the world can be silenced. Wei Chen heard that there is a group of people in the court who have secretly killed Liang Teng.
Compared to Jiang Qin."
Jiang Qin was a minister during the Zhengde period. He was executed at the Meridian Gate with a cane for impeaching Liu Jin.
Xu Qian added: "Wei Chen has been thinking that if His Majesty is Zhengde, and Wei Chen is someone like Jiang Bin or Liu Jin, then... there will be something strange when Emperor Zhengde died...
·”
Hearing this, Jiajing suddenly became nervous. Zhengde's death has always been weird. Everyone believed that Jiang Bin wanted to regicide and usurp the throne. However, Jiang Bin was such a smart person. He could be appreciated by Zhengde and could
Anyone who has the power of the imperial court and can become the commander of the Royal Guards, how can he possibly commit regicide? Anyone with a brain knows this.
Jiang Bin said that without Zhengde, he would definitely die. But on the other hand, some people said that Zhengde fell into the water and fell ill and died suddenly. This reason seems very unreasonable. Emperor Zhengde was in his prime, exercised all the year round, and admired the military.
Wu, his body is much stronger than most people, but it is even more strange that he fell ill just because he fell into the water.
It's just a matter in the palace, and many truths will never be revealed.
Jiajing, who had been frightened because the palace maid almost strangled him to death, now thought of Zhengde and immediately became solemn. He actually felt the same and said seriously: "You continue to talk."
Xu Qian said: "So I think that Your Majesty should vindicate Liang Teng. In this matter, Your Majesty can only stand up personally. In this way, those sycophants who secretly slander Your Majesty will be unpopular."
Jiajing said calmly: "Since people are dead, there is no need to be like this."
Xu Qian shook his head: "Wei Chen, there is a suicide note from Liang Teng. Please read it."
After sending the suicide note to his Majesty, Jiajing took a few glances at it and said angrily: "What do I do, and I still need him to point me out? If I do this, the country will collapse, what does he mean?
"
Xu Qian said: "Your Majesty, he has his own opinions. Perhaps Mr. Liang cannot guess His Majesty's thoughts, but his heart is sincere. I believe that Your Majesty should issue an edict to vindicate him."
Jiajing seemed to be pondering. What Xu Qian said made him remember it deeply. On the one hand, Xu Qian gave him a step up and said that he was an extraordinary person. There are two meanings of "extraordinary person". The former means whether he is a normal person or not.
Crazy. The latter means a remarkable person who stands out from the crowd, while others become summer insects. The so-called summer insects cannot be described as ice. Jiajing certainly believes that he is the latter.
On the other hand, Xu Qian talked about Emperor Wuzong Zhengde, which made Jiajing feel a little anxious. In a sense, Jiajing had never been willing to be Zhengde. It was precisely because of Jiajing's mentality that he told Emperor Jiajing
, If His Majesty does not redress, then Your Majesty will be righteous in the eyes of others, and it is even possible that he will be taken advantage of by someone with ulterior motives, and end up with a righteous end.
Jiajing immediately laughed and said: "Actually, you don't have to talk so much nonsense. As long as you persist, I will issue an edict."
His attitude changed too quickly, and Xu Qian hurriedly said: "Your Majesty's kindness is mighty."
Jiajing raised his eyebrows and said, "Do you know why this is?"
Xu Qian said: "Your Majesty, please give me instructions."
Jiajing took a deep breath and said with a bitter look on his face: "Because I have seen too many betrayals and deceptions. In this world, I no longer trust anyone. The only one who can make me feel trustworthy is Xu."
It's just Qing. If Xu Qing can't be trusted, then I will have no one to entrust to me. Since you say so, then I will order Huang Banban to issue the imperial edict. However, I don't want to hear about Liang Teng again.
"
When Jiajing spoke, a trace of bitterness flashed across his eyes.
