The eldest son of the red mansion

At this time, Liu Yu, who was standing below, knew it was bad when he heard the emperor say this. If these words reached the ears of the Supreme Emperor, what would the Supreme Emperor think?At that time, even if the emperor had [-] mouths, he would not be able to speak clearly.

That's not counting, what would the scholars think if it was passed on to the folk world?I'm afraid the emperor's reputation among scholars will be completely ruined.So he wanted to stand up and make things right for the emperor.

This time, before Liu Yu could speak, an old Hanlin came out. He knelt tremblingly in the center, and then kowtowed to the emperor, "Your Majesty, I disagree with this statement."

Chapter 321

The ministers took a closer look, and it turned out that it was Meng Ming, the academician in charge of the Hanlin Academy. This man was over 70 years old, and he was a man of the past. He had been a Hanlin Academy for decades, and he never left the Imperial Academy.He has been in this Qingshui yamen all his life.Seeing him speak out against the emperor now, I can't help but worry about this old gentleman. After all, many people present were once under this old gentleman's command, and they still have some sympathy.

Seeing that Jia Ke didn't speak, the emperor jumped out from the side, so he said angrily: "Okay, what a Hanlin scholar, have you read all the books in the dog's stomach? Don't you know the world, the king, the master, and the master? Don't you know?" A law established by a sage? How dare you contradict me face to face."

At this time, Meng Ming, the academician in charge of the Imperial Academy, straightened his old neck, stared at the emperor and said: "I have followed the teachings of Confucius and Mencius when I speak out against the emperor. People like these only know that for their own positions, And dare not speak out to persuade the emperor, where there is still a trace of the character of a saint."

The emperor couldn't bear it any longer, picked up a Ruyi on the imperial case and threw it at Meng Ming desperately. This hit Meng Ming's forehead, and the blood on the old Hanlin Meng Ming's head immediately flowed out.

But the old man didn't back down at all, and he continued to say to the emperor, regardless of the blood on his face: "The son said: "When the father is alive, watch his aspirations; when his father is gone, watch his actions; if he hasn't changed his way for three years. It can be called filial piety. The Supreme Emperor is still respected in the harem, and the emperor will change the Supreme Emperor's will. I am afraid that filial piety will be deficient and the world will laugh at him. That's why I have to remonstrate."

As soon as the old gentleman finished speaking, the hall immediately fell silent. At this time, no one dared to say that this sentence was wrong. As long as they dared to refute it, the scholars who respect Confucius and Mencius in the world would ask for theirs. Life.And from now on, if your reputation becomes bad, I'm afraid there will be no place for you in the world.Compared with the emperor, they are more afraid of the name before and after.

You must know that even if you offend the emperor, you will leave behind your fame through the ages, and you will be able to protect your family for hundreds of years, or even hundreds of years.If it is disrespectful to Confucius and Mencius because of agreeing with the emperor, then it is beneficial for a while, but in the long run, it will also isolate your family from the world. In this way, I am afraid that your family will be drowned in all directions in less than ten years under siege.

At this time, the emperor didn't know what to say after hearing his words. Originally, he was just saying something angry. If everyone didn't take it seriously, it would be like this.Who would have thought that such a serious old man popped up, and nailed the sentence just now, which was simply a demonstration of his unfilial piety.

At this time, Zhao Shu, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, saw that something was wrong, and hurried out of work and knelt in the center of the hall.After Pan Yong was imprisoned, this person was strongly recommended by the Emperor in front of the Supreme Emperor, and the Supreme Emperor did not want to cause too much trouble with the Emperor, so he agreed to serve as Minister of Rites, and this person was the Emperor's ironclad.

At this time, Zhao Shu, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, said to the emperor: "Long live the report, Meng Ming's words are absolutely unbelievable. He is trying to provoke the relationship between the emperor and the Supreme Emperor. He has ulterior motives. According to the law, Lei Ying is also a minister of military affairs, so he is naturally qualified." Play it to the emperor alone. What Jia Ke participated in just now is all groundless talk, which is not enough to be believed."

The emperor's face softened only at this time. If the old guy proves that he has acted unfilially, I am afraid that the emperor will not need to act. But more than a dozen of his brothers are still staring at this throne, as long as the Supreme Emperor survives for a day, this peeping will not stop.

Now that someone actually came down the steps for him, he hurriedly said: "I was just joking just now, how dare I go against the will of the Supreme Emperor, I don't need to mention this matter in the future."

The emperor took a breath and calmed down. He was not as excited as before, and then he said to Jia Ke who was kneeling on the ground: "Your ginseng has already known, so I stepped aside. The others also went back to work. , I am free to assert this matter.”

At this time, Jia Ke seemed to have a helpless expression on his face, as if he had been greatly wronged. He stood up and did not go back to work immediately, but walked towards the old Hanlin. When passing by Lei Ying, He even flicked his sleeves, as if Lei Ying was so dirty, and looked at him contemptuously, as if looking at a treacherous official who was wreaking havoc on the country.

Jia Ke came to the side of the old Hanlin, helped him up with both hands, and wiped the blood off his face with his official robe.Then he helped him into the class, and finally grabbed his hand and said, "It's easy to go up the mountain to catch a tiger, but it's hard to tell others. Loyal ministers are not afraid of death, and fear of death is not loyal. The old man is really a loyal minister in the court, I admire it. "

After saying this, he returned to his class, and then closed his eyes without saying a word.

At this time, the old Hanlin Mengming was moved by Jia Ke and burst into tears. He has been in the Hanlin for decades. Since no one is rigid, he only knows how to find chapters and excerpts from the Four Books and Five Classics, so his official career is very difficult. The head of the Hanlin Academy, which is already a second rank, actually does not have any real power in its hands, and you can only read for fun in the study every day.

Today, I heard that the emperor wanted to change the order of the Supreme Emperor, and with my loyalty to the two emperors in my heart, I desperately came out to admonish the current emperor, not wanting to be insulted by the current emperor in the hall, but none of the disciples of Confucius and Mencius from the Manchu dynasty came out In the end, it was Jia Ke, a general who had studied poetry and books, who came out to help him.

At this time, the emperor who was sitting on the throne coughed on the top, and began to say to the ministers below: "This matter is over like this, and no one is allowed to mention it again. Lei Ying continues to talk about your business."

At this time, Lei Ying no longer had the vigor he had at the beginning, and when Jia Ke and the old Hanlin got mixed up, all the civil servants in the hall looked at him a little bit differently.It is conceivable that it will soon spread throughout the world that he is the courtier who bewitched the king.But this matter was really wronged, he just wanted to give Jia Ke a surprise attack, and then transfer Prince Teng away so that the emperor could seize military power.Unexpectedly, Jia Ke caught him right away, and finally made himself a disgraced face.

But the emperor asked him to continue talking, and he didn't dare to stop, so he could only continue to play in the hall: "The important town of Nine Borders, all the generals and officials are seriously corrupted, and each of them eats empty salary and drinks the blood of soldiers, so that the elite of Nine Borders fight Your Majesty's strength has dropped seriously, please send a capable person to patrol Nine Sides, and severely punish these generals who embezzled military pay. Then send generals to train, and immediately restore Nine Sides' combat power."

The emperor pretended to be overjoyed after hearing this, and praised Lei Ying: "Aiqing is worthy of being the minister of the Ministry of War, and he knows the shortcomings of the army like the palm of his hand. From now on, I really have to entrust Aiqing to matters in the army."

Lei Ying hurriedly clasped her fists and said: "This minister is doing his best to be loyal to the emperor, how can the emperor say so much. This is because the emperor is wise, so this minister dares to act rashly."

The two of them were flattering each other there, when they heard someone from below say: "Long live Qi Qi, my minister Jia Ke has a book."

When the emperor heard Jia Ke's voice, his face turned ashen. If it was possible, he really wanted to order someone to drag Jia Ke out and behead him for public display.

Just when the emperor was in a dilemma about whether to let Jia Ke speak, Zhao Shu, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, stepped forward and said to Jia Ke: "Jia Ke, you are too rude. In this hall, the emperor Before I let you speak, you interrupted the emperor several times. Do you still have the emperor in your eyes? Is there any law?"

Jia Ke didn't back down, but looked at Zhao Shu, Minister of Rites, and said, "Master Zhao, is he not allowing others to make admonitions, is he trying to block the court's way of speaking?"

Zhao Shu was accused by Jia Ke of blocking the way of speech, and he was in a dilemma for a while.Indeed, although Jia Ke's performance was inappropriate at this time, there was no problem of principle, and it was his duty to be a minister to speak directly to the emperor in court, and he had no reason to stop it.

What's more, Jia Ke is not someone else, but the chief minister of the Military Aircraft Department, strictly speaking, he is still his superior. His words of directly interrupting Jia Ke are even more serious than Jia Ke.

Jia Ke looked at Zhao Shu, and said with a murderous look on his face, "What are you? The emperor and I started playing, and you stopped him again and again. Could it be that you think that the Supreme Emperor and me, the chief minister of the military aircraft, are just a show?"

After hearing what he said, Zhao Shu was also furious, since he is also a minister of the Ministry of Rites.Even if your official position is higher than mine, Jia Ke, you can't insult me ​​like this.

"Jia Ke, although you are the Minister of Military Affairs, but in the court, everything is decided by the emperor. You are so unscrupulous, do you still have the emperor in your heart?" Zhao Shu retorted angrily.

Jia Ke took a look at him, then ignored him, and cupped his fists to the emperor and said: "I am the emperor today, what I have done is the right given to me by the emperor, and I have the right to refute the imperial edict of the emperor. Lei Ying didn't pass by just now." With the permission of the Military Aircraft Department, he privately reported to the emperor, which has already violated the emperor's will. If the emperor does not punish severely, I am afraid that the minister will use his power to refute the emperor's will."

The emperor couldn't control his anger after hearing this. He thought that although there were some hindrances today, he didn't expect that Jia Ke was the stone in the hut—it was smelly and hard.

"Okay, what a loyal minister, there are few loyal ministers like you who contradict me in court and don't take me seriously?" the emperor was trembling with anger now, pointing his finger at Jia Ke and said angrily.

At this time, Zhao Shu hurriedly knelt forward a few steps, "Long live, Jia Ke has no eyes on the emperor, and if he deceives the emperor, Anlu will destroy the nine clans. Please issue an order immediately to kill Jia Ke as a common complaint."

But Jia Ke looked at this Zhao Shu at this time and laughed: "You are really perfunctory, but you don't know how to judge the situation. You don't even look at officials who are above the third rank in the imperial scriptures, the emperor has no right to deal with them. What's more, I am the head minister of the first-rank military aircraft department, and I don't have the emperor's order. Anyone who wants to deal with me, I will not obey the order."

After hearing Jia Ke's words, the emperor couldn't bear it anymore, and shouted to the outside: "Where is the warrior in front of the palace? Take this traitor down to me."

As soon as the emperor finished shouting, more than a dozen warriors with helmets and crowns came in from outside.As soon as these people came in, when they saw Jia Ke, they rushed forward to take Jia Ke, but Jia Ke shouted, "I am in charge of the Military Aircraft Department under the order of the Supreme Emperor. Is the current behavior of the emperor trying to plot something wrong? If so, the emperor will not It's my fault for being rude."

After Jia Ke finished speaking, he shook his arms, and the dozen or so warriors rolled out more than ten meters after being shaken by Jia Ke.

The emperor was also surprised when he saw this. He only knew that Jia Ke was a unparalleled general, but in his opinion, he was just a person, only stronger than ordinary generals. How could he know that now when Jia Ke showed his strength, he would immediately kill him? All the dozen or so warriors in front of the hall were placed.If this Jia Ke rushed to the hall regardless, he might lose his life.

Chapter 322 Breaking

And Zhao Shu also realized at this time, he immediately shouted to Jia Ke: "Jia Ke, what are you doing? Could it be that you want to assassinate the king?"

Jia Keli ignored Zhao Shu, and just said to the emperor: "The minister is alone in the court today. Except for an old Meng Ming, no one speaks for the minister. But the loyalty of the minister can be learned from the sun, and the emperor can also see it." .The body of the minister is promised to the Supreme Emperor, except for the Supreme Emperor, no one can make the minister wait for death."

Jia Ke was ready to go all out now, anyway, he knew that the emperor's murderous intentions towards him were no longer a day or two.Even if he offends the emperor to death now, it will only make the emperor hate him a little more, but he can get the reuse of the emperor. After the emperor takes action for a while, he can also take the opportunity to reap some benefits.Only when there is a complete break with the emperor, can the Supreme Emperor use himself boldly.

And the emperor is helpless now, because he can only use the warriors in front of the palace. If he wants to mobilize the forbidden army without the emperor's warrant, he can't mobilize a single soldier.

So the emperor could only look at Jia Ke swallowing his anger, and thought of a way to step down.

The emperor seemed very angry, and said, "Zhao Aiqing, let him talk, I want to see what he can say."

After the emperor finished speaking, he waved to the warriors below, and these people quickly got up from the ground, bowed their bodies and exited the hall.

Zhao Shu also hurriedly took the opportunity to return to the class. Only then did he experience Jia Ke's power. It seemed that he had some ability to be the chief minister of military aircraft, and he could not get it just by flattering the emperor.If he really gets tough, even the emperor can't do anything about him. It seems that only the Supreme Emperor can surrender this fierce general.

Seeing that Zhao Shu had already stepped back, Jia Ke continued to kneel there and said to the emperor: "Report to Long Live, when Long Live ascended the throne, the Supreme Emperor made it clear that all matters related to the army will be handled by the Supreme Emperor himself, Your Majesty I have no right to mobilize a single soldier. Today, His Majesty wants to rectify the nine sides and adjust the positions of the generals. I am afraid that it will violate the will of the Supreme Emperor. I implore the Emperor to take back the order and make a decision after the Supreme Emperor is announced."

Jia Ke's words woke up all the civil and military officials in the court. The Supreme Emperor made it clear when the emperor ascended the throne that the emperor could not mobilize a single soldier. What should the emperor do now?It has obviously violated the taboo of the Supreme Emperor.Let the Supreme Emperor know about this, it's worth it.

For today's matter, the emperor almost mobilized all his power in the court. How could Jia Ke give up this opportunity with such a light word.

When the emperor was about to reprimand Jia Ke, a young man stood up from the front of the class and came to the center of the hall.Kneeling down on the ground and cupping his fists, he said to the emperor, "Your minister, Shui Rong, has your roots."

The emperor saw Shui Rong kneeling in the middle of the hall, and thought he wanted to support Jia Ke. After all, the previous generation of Beijing Kings had a family relationship with the Jia family, and cared for Jia Ke very much, and their family of Beijing Kings were even more confidantes of the Supreme Emperor. He has always been in charge of the Imperial Guard for the Supreme Emperor, but now, the King of Beijing Jing was young and had no military career, so the Supreme Emperor did not hand over the Imperial Guard to him.Therefore, he deliberately did not let him speak, but the identity of the king of Beijing Jing is not trivial.She must not steal his face on the spot.

So the emperor said helplessly to Shui Rong: "Aiqing, if you have anything to say, just say it."
