The anger lies in the fact that people can call a deer a horse, without distinguishing between right and wrong.
What’s even more annoying is that more people are pretending to be deaf and dumb.
These many memorials were sent by horseback from various provinces.
The chief envoys, inspectors, and even some prefects in those places seemed to have taken notice of the situation.
In order to express their concern for the emperor, one after another came to ask the emperor if the dragon body was in good health.
Of course, this is just a trick to deceive others.
The real intention is hidden in the details.
In the memorials, they also wrote extensively about Zhang Anshi's achievements, saying that it was indeed natural for Zhang Anshi to be granted the title of prince.
The emperor should be dead.
Because as long as Your Majesty still has a little bit of sanity, there will not be such a big dispute in Wenyuan Pavilion. After all...it is really controversial. Your Majesty can resolve these disputes with just one word.
The only possibility... is that His Majesty has reached the point where he cannot speak.
If we contact a Taoist from Lingchi before, then...he must have been infected by erysipelas.
Now that there is a clear signal, the nightmare that has been hanging over everyone has been lifted.
It is Zhu Di who all the officials fear!
Like Emperor Taizu Gao, this emperor relied on his ability to conquer the world immediately. He had a strong temper and would kill ministers whenever he disagreed. He always insisted on his own opinions and was always suspicious of ministers.
But now, once Zhu Di dies, there will really be no one to fear in this world...
These memorials came one after another like a tide.
On the surface it was a memorial to the emperor, but in reality it was for the prince.
I just want the prince and the people of the world to know that all officials in the world respect the emperor's orders. His Royal Highness can take care of the rest.
This is especially true at this juncture when a new king may ascend the throne.
Only Beijing officials have begun to see this general trend. In addition to the die-hard elements who support the New Deal, there are also many people who, although not opposed to the New Deal, covet the fruits of the New Deal.
But now, the fruits are in the hands of those led by Zhang Anshi. If Zhang Anshi is driven away, it means... that the fruits of the New Deal can be taken at will. How much is at stake in this?
These memorials can be described as one-sided.
Yang Rong sighed faintly: "Sure enough, what shouldn't have happened finally happened! Mr. Hu, you only see right and wrong, but what Mr. Jin sees... is the human heart. The situation may be worse than yours
I imagined it would be much worse."
Hu Guang was now like a small stove that was on fire at a moment's notice. He glared angrily at Yang Rong and said, "Don't humiliate me."
Yang Rong said seriously: "This time it's not a humiliation."
After a pause, Yang Rong continued: "It's the truth."
He stretched out his hand, casually clicked on a memorandum, and said: "Can you see the vast people's hearts behind this? There are so many ministers in the world, some are purely opposed to the New Deal, and some... are coveting the fruits of the current New Deal. I
Let me ask you, how much wealth has this New Deal generated? If Zhang Anshi was gone without this wealth, and those people under Zhang Anshi... were not yet qualified enough in the court to succeed Zhang Anshi in the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and other positions,
So...what will happen if these fall into the hands of others?"
"What a feast this is... But people like you and me have become a minority in this temple and in all the provinces in the world. The great thing about Jin Gong is... he spread a message without putting Zhang Anshi aside."
The lies about the place of death have aroused the hatred and greed of many people."
"Human greed is terrible. Once it is aroused by others, the power burst out from it can't be said to destroy the world, but it is enough to teach you and me that once we are enemies, we will be like a mantis blocking a car.
It was crushed to pieces."
Hu Guang raised his eyebrows and said with suspicion: "Is it that serious?"
"It's very serious." Yang Rong said with certainty: "The reason why you and I can become the bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion is not only because of His Majesty's kindness, but also because... we have received the full support of many ministers, but what if we lose these?
?You and I are just trees without roots and duckweeds in the pond.”
"With this edict, Duke Jin has become the heart of the people in the world. Even though he has little qualifications, he is enough to become a great scholar who can truly hold the power of Wenyuan Pavilion. Now he has such huge popularity and relies on the so-called
According to the decree, as long as Zhang Anshi is driven away, then...it is not certain who has the final say in the Ming Dynasty."
Hu Guang had a sullen face and immediately retorted: "I don't believe His Highness the Crown Prince can tolerate him."
Yang Rong shook his head and said: "It may not be tolerated at first, but if you continue to issue decrees again and again, you will find that the decrees have left the Forbidden City, and everyone is disobeying them. Everyone is not enthusiastic about it, and does it perfunctorily. Whatever needs to be implemented, it must be done
Do you need Jin Gong to come forward?"
Hu Guang's face became solemn and he said: "The matter should not be so serious..."
Yang Rong said patiently: "Of course it depends on the situation. If it were Emperor Taizu Gao and His Majesty, of course it would not be like this, but His Highness the Crown Prince... As the new king ascends the throne, in order to stabilize people's hearts, he has to make compromises."
Hu Guang pursed his lips, looked straight at Yang Rong and said, "Then what should we do?"
Yang Rong stood up at this time, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and this light seemed to declare his determination, and said: "Send a letter to impeach Jin Youzi for his false edict!"
"Ah..." Hu Guang was stunned and said in surprise: "Didn't Mr. Yang say that he was just a spectator?"
Yang Rongdao: "That was in the past. In the past, I wanted to see what Jin Gong was up to. I wanted him to reveal his family background and determine his intentions based on the development of the matter. But now he has exhausted his plans.
See, the time has come without delay. Someone must kill this trend, take a stand, and unite other people who are unwilling to join in the same trend."
Having said this, Yang Rong frowned and looked at Hu Guangdao with stern eyes: If you and I don't stand up at this time and accuse Jin Gong without resorting to edicts, then the rest of the people who are unwilling to collude with him will be in pieces! Everyone.
At most, we can only watch the development of the situation silently. Only if you and I clearly express our attitudes and assume an irreconcilable and sworn posture with Jin Gong, can we inspire them and teach those... Although they are not angry,
, people who care about the country and the people, unite together, even if they cannot fight back, they can prevent Jin Gong from succeeding so easily..."
Hu Guangda was very excited, his eyes slightly opened, and he said: "I thought Mr. Yang was just a rat, but I didn't expect that he also has such ambitions."
Yang Rong didn't even bother to raise his eyebrows, he just said calmly: "A gentleman must wait for the opportunity to act, but he must also do something and not do something. But..."
Hu Guangdao: "But what..."
Yang Rong solemnly said: "You have to think about it. Once you and I submit a letter, it will be irreversible. Accusing colleagues of false edicts means that they will never stop fighting! By then... people in the world will definitely scold you and me.
National traitors, once you are defeated, you and I will not only be in disgrace for thousands of years, but we may also be labeled as false edicts."
No matter how stupid Hu Guang is, he still knows the consequences of this matter.
Only three people listened to the oral edict, but everyone insisted on their own opinions. In other words, one of the two must have corrected the edict, either Jin Youzi, Yang Rong or Hu Guang.
Hu Guang, however, said without hesitation: "I just want to be clear in my heart and have no regrets!"
Yang Rong nodded, and then took out a memorial from his sleeve: "My memorial is ready. You can write it yourself."
"Ah..." Hu Guang was surprised and couldn't help but said: "Mr. Yang had a premeditated plan?"
"It's not a premeditation." Yang Rong said with a helpless smile, "It's just planning ahead."
Hu Guang: "..."
Di Bao...
Early the next morning, all kinds of news came pouring in.
Hundreds of officials submitted letters insisting that Zhang Anshi be crowned king.
Yang Rong and Hu Guang took the unprecedented step of directly impeaching Jin Youzi.
At the same time, I don’t know whether it was because of Yang Rong and Hu Guang’s infection, or whether these people were the disciples and former officials of Yang Rong and Hu Guang. There were also many memorials the next day, impeaching His Majesty for something fishy in his oral speech, and what Jin Youzi said.
...It is really difficult to win the trust of people all over the world.
So, suddenly, even those who paid the least attention to the temple could smell the bloody atmosphere behind these many memorials.
False edicts, but rebellion, is a serious crime of confiscating the family and exterminating the clan!
Opening this mouth means...from now on, there will always be people on one side of the court who want to die.
No matter which side they belong to, they are all extremely respected ministers, and are world-famous figures.
Such a murderous aura was very rare even at the time of Emperor Taizu Gao.
So in the market, people talked a lot.
The soldiers and civilians were suspicious and fearful.
Zhang Anshi, who was at the center of the storm, stayed peacefully in the palace to take care of His Majesty every day.
The prince's behavior was also very appropriate.
His Majesty is seriously ill. As a son, the prince should serve the emperor day and night without any clothes on, and temporarily ignore the affairs of state.
This also gave Prince Zhu Gaochi some room for change, because at this time, it was indeed not the time to make a hasty decision. No matter which decision it was, it would be resented by the other half of the people.
After all, he is not Emperor Taizu Gao, nor is he Zhu Di.
At this time, Zhu Gaochi's prestige was still too low to decide these matters.
In his grief, Zhu Gaochi began to secretly meet with all the princes and princes, especially the governors of the Five Army Commandery Mansion, one by one.
But he turned a deaf ear to the affairs of the government.
Obviously Zhu Gaochi knows better than anyone else that no matter how much trouble the officials make, there is a limit after all!
What needs to be done now is to stabilize the army and prevent its morale from becoming chaotic, so as to ensure that the world will fall into turmoil in the future.
But...the only thing that worried him was the provinces and state capitals.
The chief envoys and inspectors almost unanimously supported Jin Youzi. If they were disloyal at this time, and if Zhu Di was alive, there is no need to worry. But now Zhu Di is on his deathbed, and I don’t know when he will pass away.
If something happens at the critical moment when the new king ascends the throne, the world will be in danger of falling apart.
Zhang Anshi, on the other hand, felt a lot less worried.
He was currently sitting in his bedroom, occasionally picking up the tea cup and taking a sip of tea.
Zhu Di was looking at the memorials one after another with a cold face.
He was almost in a hurry, worried and angry.
For a long time, he put down the memorial.
"The situation is much more serious than I thought." Zhu Di said with a bit of sarcasm: "I thought that the New Deal has opened up the trend, and after several blows, the world's situation will not be one-sided.
"
Zhang Anshi said: "Could it be that...someone is just having fun?"
Zhu Di glared at Zhang Anshi.
Zhang Anshi had no choice but to keep silent.
Zhu Di said: "I didn't expect Yang Rong to have a strong side."
Zhang Anshi couldn't help but said: "Hu Gong also submitted a memorial."
"With his temperament, isn't it natural for him to submit a petition?" Zhu Di said, "It's strange that he didn't submit a petition."
Zhang Anshi said: "That's what your Majesty said."
But Zhu Di's face showed a bit of loneliness again, and he sighed: "With me gone, many people have become fearless... Hey..."
Zhang Anshi didn't know what to say to comfort him, so he changed the topic and said: "Your Majesty... what should we do next?"
Zhu Di put away his depressed mood, thought for a while, and said slowly: "Wait a moment."
"Still waiting?" Zhang Anshi said: "I am a little worried..."
Zhu Di shook his head and said: "Now, there is nothing to worry about..."
Zhang Anshi said: "Your Majesty, I have not left the palace for many days, and I have not seen my wife and children for a long time."
Zhu Di glared at him speechlessly, and then said: "Isn't immortality in Da Nei?"
Zhang Anshi shook his head: "This is different... what I said is..."
Zhu Di waved his hand: "Wait for two more days..."
Zhang Anshi could only say: "I obey the order."
Zhu Di said: "It only lasts these two days. In another two days, the secret will almost be exposed. I can't see that I am going to die, but I always don't see him. This doesn't make sense."
Zhang Anshi said: "Your Majesty can live a long life."
Zhu Di frowned and thought for a while and said: "You should go out of the palace, there are some things... you have to do... you need to explain to the Jin Yiwei... and..."
Zhu Di considered it and said: "The Jin Yiwei should be enough... teach them to wait for orders... wait for the decree!"
Zhang Anshi said: "Here."
…………
Jin Youzi returned to the mansion with a tired look on his face.
Fang Fang stopped in front of the gate, and his eldest son Jin Zhaobo, who seemed to have been waiting for a long time, hurriedly greeted him.
Jin Zhaobo is a candidate for imperial examination, and if nothing unexpected happens, in the spring of two years, there is a great hope of becoming a Jinshi.
His father is a bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion, and his son is also very competitive, so he is naturally enviable.
But recently, Jin Zhaobo has no intention of studying.
What is the use of reading?
Even if you enter the Imperial Academy, you may have to be exiled to serve as an official in a feudal town overseas. This is no different from exile. What's more, it's thousands of miles away. How can an ordinary scholar's body bear it?
I heard that many Hanlin officials are struggling with their health now. There is nothing you can do. As long as you still have the slightest ambition and want to have a place in the temple in the future, you have to go overseas. But without a good body, it is impossible.
In order to strengthen their health, many people do not sit in sedan chairs when they go to the Hanlin Academy, but walk entirely. When they arrive at the Hanlin Academy, they can't help but sweat profusely.
There were also people in the Hanlin Academy, especially the young editors and editors, as well as the shujishi, who were dancing with knives and breaking stones in their own rooms. It was so lively and the atmosphere changed.
So many people shook their heads, what a sin, the Hanlin Academy is the place where the world's cultural heritage is, and now it has become a sideshow stall.
This is really a last resort. If you are ambitious, you have to plan ahead. Now everyone is asking about going to sea. If you go overseas and make a round trip, you have to travel thousands of miles by boat. The boat is bumpy and the waves are rolling. For those who are weak,
Not having a good body is unbearable.
Especially if you get sick along the way, it can really cost someone's life. Even if you get to a place, there will be many symptoms such as acclimatization. In addition, you may be unlucky and encounter natives. Your legs and feet are not good.
Or if you are physically weak, your body may be exposed in the wilderness.
When Jin Zhaobo heard this, he was really heartbroken. After ten years of hard work, he finally managed to fight his way out of thousands of troops with his own efforts, and was named on the gold medal list. As a result... he had to suffer twice, and suffered twice.
, and it’s still getting harder and harder every time. Isn’t this a joke?
"Father……"
Jin Zhaobo hurriedly helped Jin Youzi who got off the carriage.
Jin Youzi exhaled and said lightly: "How is your class work?"
Jin Zhaobo couldn't help but look a little sad, and sighed: "My son has no intention..."
Jin Youzi did not blame him, but said: "You still have to read books. Without reading, it is not enough to establish a career."
Jin Zhaobo said: "My son heard that even the Hanlin no longer studies, and they are all playing tricks..."
Jin Youzi said: "Don't spread lies. They are just lifting stone locks, not using big swords."
Jin Zhaobo said: "Father..."
While supporting Jin Youzi, he said: "Many people from the house... came to see him, and they all handed over door stickers, eager to see his father... The son thought it was too ostentatious, so... they all stood in the way."
Jin Youzi glanced at Jin Zhaobo and said: "Well... I am not in good health, and many people... are indeed inconvenient to see. But even if you turn people away, you must be polite and don't lose your etiquette."
Jin Zhaobo nodded and said: "My son understands the importance. But...my uncle is here..."
After Jin Youzi heard this, he didn't say much, he just asked: "Where?"
Jin Zhaobo said: "Inner hall."
Jin Zhaobo's maternal uncle was actually the brother of Jin Youzi's first wife, the Liu family. The Liu family was also from a wealthy family and had the reputation of being a civil servant. She had no interest in being an official, but she would often travel to and from the capital.
But when I came here at this time, it was obvious that... I had ulterior motives.
But others can't see him, but his brother-in-law... can't help but see him.
Immediately, Jin Youzi hurriedly walked into the inner hall.
Immediately, someone came to greet me with a smile.
"I've been waiting for a long time, brother-in-law... People are panicking outside now... It's so lively."
"You... don't come to the house on weekdays..." Jin Youzi shook his head and said, "Now you just happened to be here."
"Brother-in-law, I also got the news, so I hurriedly came to Beijing...I'll tell you the truth...Now...it's really boiling down, and I don't know how many people...are following your lead, brother-in-law..."
