Chapter 177 The conspiracy in the courtroom
In the first year of Tianqi, on the eighth day of the third lunar month, it is advisable to offer sacrifices and bathe, and avoid consecrating light to cure diseases.
Slowly withdrawing the power, slowly standing upright, breathing a sigh of relief, Emperor Tianqi smiled calmly. It has been a few days since Luo Sigong sent the happy meditation. In these days, Emperor Tianqi has obviously
My body feels much better, my whole body feels warm, and I rarely sweat at night.
Taking the towel handed over by Chen Hong and wiping the sweat from his forehead, Emperor Tianqi asked calmly: "Have Sun Chengzong left?"
"Back to Your Majesty, he has already left." Chen Hong bent down lower and said with a smile.
Nodding with satisfaction, Emperor Tianqi handed the towel to Chen Hong and said softly: "Okay! Just leave. I hope everything goes well." Turning his head to Chen Hong again, Emperor Tianqi asked with a smile: "
Is there anything going on in the palace recently? What are the concubines in the harem doing?"
"Your Majesty, the ladies don't have anything to do. We get together with the Queen from time to time and get along very harmoniously!" Chen Hong naturally couldn't talk about other things. The Emperor and the concubine's affairs can't be involved if they can't.
It's better for slaves like you to stay away from the master's affairs.
"Have you finished what I asked you to make?" Emperor Tianqi saw a lot of jade in the palace a few days ago. The material was very good. Suddenly he remembered the mahjong played by later generations, so he had someone make one. I don't know.
Did you do it well? Now that I think about it, I ask.
Chen Hong smiled softly and said flatteringly: "It's done, but the effect of jade is not very good. The craftsmen said that it would be much better if they used ivory, so I asked them to make a pair of ivory."
Nodding slowly, Emperor Tianqi understood that there would be ivory mahjong in later generations, but he had never seen it. Emperor Tianqi didn't know whether there was mahjong now, and he didn't want to know, but seeing Queen Zhang and the others stay in the palace, it would be better.
I was bored, so I thought of making it.
After glancing at Chen Hong who was smiling, Emperor Tianqi said with a smile: "Invite the two noble concubines to Kunning Palace, take the mahjong and show them around Kunning Palace."
Emperor Tianqi went to Kunning Palace to teach his concubines how to play mahjong, but little did he know that a storm sweeping the court was about to begin. Just when Emperor Tianqi sent people to Liaodong to investigate the case of collaborating with the enemy, the whole court was also brewing.
A storm.
This is a house located in Xicheng. It is a large house with three entrances and three exits. To be able to live in such a house in this place, the identity of a person is naturally different.
In the backyard of the house, in a very private courtyard, a few people were having a gathering, drinking, and drinking wine in a leisurely and elegant manner. The old man sitting in the main seat was still the same old man, but it was different from that night. The faces of these people today
They all had smiles on their faces. It was obvious that these people were very happy and seemed to have solved some difficult problem.
The old man drank the wine in the cup, then looked at the people around him with a smile, and said with a friendly face: "Wenzhi, that's what happened. The situation in the court is not optimistic now. The traitorous party is in power, and the court is in darkness. Here,
When the country is in crisis and the building is about to collapse, we and other knowledgeable people should stand up. I have always heard that Wen Zhi is a talent. I wonder if you have thought of any good solutions?"
Seeing what the old man said was just and righteous, Wang Wenzhi, who was sitting next to him, smiled calmly. At this time, Wang Wenzhi did not have an official position, he was just a supervisor, studying in Taixue. The old man spoke to him with this attitude, and Wang Wenzhi felt in his heart
He was very happy, but Wang Wenzhi also understood that this was just a certificate of recognition. If he could come up with a good solution, his worth would be a hundred times greater and he would become a successful person. If he didn't have any solution, these people would probably ignore him.
Own.
Slowly turning his wine glass, Wang Wenzhi smiled calmly and said in a deep voice: "There are many copper and iron walls in this world. Maybe we can't open them, but we can let the people inside open the doors. No matter what kind of city it is,
Any alliance will fall apart one day, because this is human nature."
Seeing Wang Wenzhi's calm expression, the old man was secretly happy. Although there were many people on his side, there really was no such person who was good at planning. Maybe with him, his side could really turn defeat into victory.
"Does Wen Zhi have any ideas? If you have an idea, just tell me and I will help you think about it." The old man smiled calmly and said intentionally or unintentionally.
After a rather meaningful conversation, Wang Wenzhi said with a smile: "The old man has been righteous throughout his life, and he has worked hard for the country of the Ming Dynasty. He has worked hard and made great achievements. Now in the cabinet, Sun Chengzong, the first assistant academician, is the governor of Liaodong, and Gu Zhen, the academician
The emperor has rushed home again. The imperial court is in the midst of hiring new people, have you ever considered joining the cabinet to work on matters?"
The old man put down the wine glass in his hand, looked calm, and said in a deep voice: "Nowadays, there are evil in the court. If there is a chance to clarify the situation in the court and show my ambition, I will naturally not let you go."
"In this case, Wenzhi might as well make some plans for the old man, but it may take some time." Wang Wenzhi's eyes kept shining with a strange light, as if he was thinking about some pressing issue.
Looking at Wang Wenzhi with some worry, the old man said with some concern: "I wonder what Wenzhi wants to do?"
After drinking the wine in the glass, Wang Wenzhi said with a smile: "Since the court is divided into three parties, and we are the strongest, we are just worried that the other two traitorous parties will join in the conspiracy, so we will once again turn the court into
Two parties!”
"If the two parties are allowed to unite, even though there are only two sides left in the court, the traitor party will be more powerful than us, and the gains will outweigh the losses!" The old man was still worried, obviously not understanding what Wang Wenzhi wanted to do.
Pouring himself a glass of wine again, and gently turning the glass, Wang Wen smiled and said: "Then don't let them unite!"
The old man smiled bitterly and shook his head. He didn't ask any more questions. He knew that Wang Wen didn't want to say anything. In that case, let's wait and see!
In the first year of the Apocalypse, on the ninth day of the third month, it is appropriate to bathe and move, that is, weddings and funerals.
Slowly opening his eyes, he subconsciously touched the bed, only to find that the person beside him was no longer there. Slowly sitting up, Emperor Tianqi said loudly: "Here comes someone! Please change my clothes!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Empress Zhang walked in from the outside holding a dinner plate and said with a sweet smile.
Looking at the steaming rice porridge on the table, Emperor Tianqi said with some annoyance: "Let the imperial kitchen do such things from now on! Baozhu, don't get up so early, don't be tired."
"Your Majesty likes to eat food made by me, and I should work a little harder. Besides, Your Majesty has an early court today! Let me wait on Your Majesty to get up and eat some porridge made by me, and then Your Majesty can go to court!
"Empress Zhang came over to serve Emperor Tianqi and said with a smile.
As usual, Emperor Tianqi walked to Huangji Hall accompanied by Chen Hong, yawning as he walked. Emperor Tianqi couldn't help but regret it. Yesterday, he played a few more laps on a whim, and now he was very sleepy.
Listening to the sound of bells and drums outside, Emperor Tianqi slowly walked into the hall. After Emperor Tianqi made everyone stand up, he winked at Chen Hong.
"If you have the foundation to play early, you will retreat without the foundation!" Chen Hong naturally understood the meaning of Emperor Tianqi, waved the fly whisk in his hand, and shouted loudly.
However, God is obviously not on the side of Emperor Tianqi, because as soon as Chen Hong finished speaking, someone stood up and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I have this report!"
After taking a look at the person who stood up, Emperor Tianqi frowned slightly. He was a censor. Emperor Tianqi had a headache when he saw the censor. He waved his hand feebly, and Emperor Tianqi said to this censor he didn't know:
"What's the matter with my beloved? Tell me!"
"Your Majesty, the battle in Liaodong has greatly promoted the power of our Ming army. It is actually God's blessing. The soldiers sacrificed their lives and stained the battlefield with blood. At this time, I feel extremely guilty in my heart. I can't stabilize the country with my words, and I can't rule the country with force.
I have the ambition to serve my country, but I can only watch the soldiers bathing here.
Blood, I am really ashamed. I have learned from this pain and thought about my duties. As a royal censor, I should be aware of the news and inform my Majesty about the affairs of the world. Although I cannot kill thieves to serve the country, I can still be regarded as loyal to the country." The man said to
After Emperor Tianqi saluted, he began to speak eloquently.
He patted his forehead feebly. Emperor Tianqi really wanted to run down there, fly at this person, and then kick him violently. While kicking him, he cursed loudly: "I told you,
Let me tell you! Eat shit!"
But I can only think about it. Listening to this man's words, Emperor Tianqi kept shaking, obviously about to fall asleep.
However, the man didn't care at all and kept saying: "The sages of ancient times were all proud of serving the country. Although I dare not compare myself to the sages of ancient times, I still have the heart to serve the country. That's what I said."
"Okay, that's enough!" Emperor Tianqi slammed the table and shouted loudly, which shocked everyone in the hall. He rubbed his face, took a sip of tea, and said weakly
: "My dear, I know that you are loyal to the king and patriotic, so if you have anything to say, just tell me! I feel a little tired when I see all my dears standing like this!"
After hearing Emperor Tianqi's words, many ministers nodded in agreement, and then glared at the censor.
He smiled sarcastically, and the censor seemed to realize that something was wrong, and quickly said with a serious face: "Your Majesty, in the Liaodong War, countless soldiers died in the battle. At this time, the soldiers should be rewarded and punished.
Traitor. I am older
Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the biggest traitor has to be Zhang Juzheng. This thief deceived the emperor and ignored his superiors. This is a crime that should not be pardoned. At this time, I would like to dig up his grave and whip his corpse to show your majesty's determination to severely punish the traitor.
It serves the purpose of deterring young children.”
