[Ming Dynasty] I seem to know too much

When Jiao Shizhi was taken away by Liu Jian, Zhu Houzhao was in the house asking about the situation of the imperial physician, but there was nothing serious about it.The situation is similar to that of Mr. Liu Ge before. The boss is just a little angry and anxious. Although his expression is tired, he is still grateful when he finds out that the emperor came in person, so that Zhu Houzhao can't see that this is the one who pissed him off a quarter of an hour ago. One of the main force.

Zhu Houzhao said a few words of comfort, and then sent someone to send the minister back.He walked out of the hall in a few steps, and was about to say something to Jiao Shizhi, but he found that Jiao Shizhi, who should have been guarding outside, was nowhere to be seen.His face suddenly darkened, could it be that someone took this time to take him away? !

Fortunately, Le Hua reported in time, "Your Majesty, Mr. Jiao was invited by Mr. Liu Ge to talk, and the two of them should have gone this way." Master Jiao's relationship is quite good.

Zhu Houzhao pursed his lips and led the people in the direction Lehua said without saying a word.

But at this moment Jiao Shizhi is not only facing old Liu Ge.

There are also Xie Qian and Li Dongyang.

Being interrogated by the three elders of the cabinet, Jiao Shizhi pressed the bridge of his nose a little uncomfortable, and said with a light smile: "If it wasn't for Elder Liu's smile, I would have thought that the elders would be interrogated in the third hall. Woolen cloth."

Xie Qian laughed loudly, "If I waited for the three trials, you wouldn't see me waiting in such a sunny day."

Jiao Shizhi didn't have much contact with the other cabinet elders. He only knew that among the cabinet elders, Zhu Houzhao liked Xie Qian the most and Liu Jian the most respected, but the person he trusted the most was the least. Li Dongyang who spoke.

When he sent people to investigate the corruption of disaster relief, Zhu Houzhao mentioned Li Dongyang's name.

At this time Li Dongyang was standing next to Liu Jian, although he was smiling, but he really couldn't see what he was thinking in his heart, he just felt that he was an unusually kind person.

Liu Jian stroked his beard, and said with a smile: "Ren Zhi, what are we looking for you today, you should be clear about it, and don't ask me to press you." After knowing that they were familiar with each other, they became fearless.

He cupped his hands and said to the others: "Why should you be worried, the elders? The emperor will tell you about the affairs of the Wenhua Palace in the afternoon. This is because he respects you and so on. Don't be in a hurry."

Liu Jian blew his beard and stared, "This is why I'm anxious? If it weren't for the fact that the emperor acted quite differently from the late emperor, why should I be so worried every time?!" Jiao Shizhi smiled wryly and didn't speak, it must be in line with Liu Ge's words ?

In fact, Mr. Liu Ge was right. Originally, the cabinet should be the one most trusted by the emperor, but in the hands of the current emperor, he can think of the cabinet before issuing decrees. Handed over to the cabinet.

"The emperor just felt that there are still many corrupt people in the imperial court, and he thinks that these people are nothing more than vegetarian meals in the corpses. What happened last night is also related to this." Jiao Shizhi thought for a long time, and told some of the news to the elders. Afterwards, he said a few words with several elders, and then left in a hurry.

He left his post just now, if the emperor can't find him when he comes out, it will be another troublesome matter.

Liu Jian and others looked at Jiao Shizhi's back, and sighed softly, "In the heart of the emperor, I'm afraid that we, the so-called ministers who take care of orders, may not be able to say a word to him."

Xie Qian said with a smile: "Why is Master Liu so sentimental? There are talented people coming out from generation to generation. I'm just a wave in front of me. I'm just waiting for the younger generation who can do something to catch up. It's just a concession, so why is it so difficult?" He looked It is very open-minded, if only a few of them are supporting the front, it will be the biggest shortcoming.

Liu Jian shook his head helplessly, "I'm not as good as you with your generous mind."

Li Dongyang, who had been silent for a long time, sighed, "Fortunately, this person has a temperament that knows how to advance and retreat. If it were Liu Jin, I don't know how many disasters would be caused." Even Liu Jin now, in their opinion, deserves all the guilt died.

"That's not necessarily true." Liu Jian shook his head, and walked leisurely outside the palace with his hands behind his back.

With the temperament of the emperor, can he tolerate the truly trustworthy people to stay behind the scenes all the time?

That's the funniest thing in the world of skating!

Jiao Shizhi walked back, but within three or two steps, he saw Zhu Houzhao standing behind the rockery. Obviously he didn't know where he was for how long. Behind him, Lehua and others all lowered their heads, looking strange.

As if not aware of it, Jiao Shizhi slowly walked in front of the emperor, and said with a light smile, "Why is the emperor here? Is that lord okay?"

Zhu Houzhao nodded, with an unpredictable expression, "It's ready, I sent someone to send it back, if it wasn't for Shizhi's vigilance, I'm afraid something will happen today."

Jiao Shizhi smiled lightly and shook his head, indicating to the emperor to look at the sky, "Your Majesty, do you think there is any difference between today's sky and yesterday's?" Zhu Houzhao looked up casually, "It seems that there is no difference."

"That's it. Birth, old age, sickness and death are similar to this weather. When it's time to leave, no one can stop you. But if it's not the time, you can't leave even if you ask. The emperor can relax and don't think too much. "

Hearing Jiao Shizhi's stern words, Zhu Houzhao couldn't laugh or cry, and shook his head helplessly, "You think I'm sad?"

"The emperor was joking." Jiao Shizhi said calmly.

Zhu Houzhao immediately stretched out his hand to pinch Jiao Shizhi's cheek in hatred, "It's a great opportunity for Liu Jian and others to find you just now, why don't you tell them what you thought yesterday, if it's in the afternoon, you're afraid And I don’t want to speak.”

Jiao Shizhi pursed his lips and smiled, "What is the emperor talking about? Naturally, this afternoon is the time for the emperor to discuss with the elders, and there is no room for me to intervene."

The chicken talks with the duck.

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help giving him a blank look, then pulled his sleeves and walked back, "Those ghosts in Liu Jian are very smart, if I don't value you and trust you, those few really don't see rabbits and don't let go." Lord of the eagles, don't be easily fooled by your dealings with them."

"Yes, yes, Your Majesty." Jiao Shizhi's plain words were mixed with a slight smile.

"You're really sharp today. Old man Zhang was smiling at me just now. I've never seen such a bright appearance in front of Fengtian Gate on weekdays. I almost thought someone had disguised him."

"Your Majesty, Mr. Zhang is dedicated to the public, so don't slander behind your back like this."

"Where am I slandering behind my back, such a big sun is here?"

The chattering voices of the two went away, and Lehua behind him drifted away with his master in front of him blankly. Looking at the serious look on the emperor's face just now, he thought that the emperor was dissatisfied with Mr. Jiao's contact with the old cabinet minister. When he thought the emperor was about to reprimand him loudly, who would have thought that the emperor would actually make such a call after Mr. Jiao approached!

Shock!And fucking thinking too much!In the future, let's be honest about Mr. Jiao's affairs, and don't think about anything else.

No one knows how the emperor and the cabinet discussed in the afternoon, but that afternoon the cabinet ordered Dali Temple to hand over [-] cases, including the Lin Xiu corruption case, to the Ministry of Criminal Justice. See you soon!

As the Lin Xiu case began to catch the attention of the court, Jiao Shizhi was gradually re-recognized by civil and military officials.

The original rumors became more and more outrageous, and began to go in a weird direction.

Liu Jin also mentioned this matter to Zhu Houzhao half casually and half spying when entering the palace. The emperor just raised his lips and smiled, as if talking to himself, "I just reopened this case for the sake of convenience. So what? Shouldn't they be more grateful to Shizhi? There's so much nonsense."

Liu Jin's heart shuddered, and he said no more.

He said that he had been with the emperor for so long, when did he see that the emperor would actually pay attention to an ordinary guard who hadn't stayed by his side for two months, even though he had the title of personal bodyguard and did not get the slightest attention from the emperor ?

Although the emperor's words were understated and didn't say anything, it proved from the side that it was because of Jiao Shizhi that the emperor noticed Lin Xiu?

Liu Jin couldn't help being envious in her heart, how much the emperor loved him and others, but he was definitely not as good as Jiao Shi.

The guess that had been hidden in his heart for a long time surfaced again. Could it be that the emperor really focused on Shizhi...

Liu Jin shook his head suddenly, even he didn't dare to cross the line and think of other things easily, after all, if it was true, the consequences would be extremely tragic.

On the other hand, Jiao Shizhi has been sending people to secretly collect the sources of these rumors, but rumors are the most mixed news in the market, and what others say casually may be just a rumor, and the progress is slow due to the confusion.Jiao Shizhi had vaguely had several guesses in his mind, but he didn't know which one was the last one.

Putting this matter aside, Jiao Shizhi's focus was on Lin Xiu's case. Because of the pressure exerted by the emperor and the cabinet, the Ministry of Punishment was much more capable than Dali Temple, and the case made many breakthroughs. It's just that the most critical evidence is still missing, but even so, Lin Xiu's grievances have been washed away a lot.

Speaking of Lin Xiu, Jiao Shizhi's guess was not wrong.During the process of being handed over from Dali Temple to the Criminal Ministry, he almost died several times. Because of the cabinet's signal, the Criminal Ministry sent doctors with excellent medical skills to follow him all the way. The first thing he did when he arrived at the prison of the Criminal Ministry was Shi In the middle of the night, he robbed people with Hades, and finally saved a life with great difficulty.

After she came out, she learned the doctor's diagnosis. Lin Xiu's body had already been poisoned to the point of death. If she hadn't been handed over from Dali Temple in time, if the doctor hadn't rescued her in time, she would be a dead body now.

The poison Lin Xiu suffered was not obvious at first, but the more he went to the back, the more he couldn't move, his limbs became stiff, his tongue was sore and stiff, he couldn't move, and he couldn't talk to others. the day of the day.Even if the doctor used acupuncture and moxibustion to save his life first, he kept going back and forth for the remaining half a month, and even the emperor secretly sent the imperial doctor to treat him in order to save his life, so let's not talk about it.

Because of Lin Xiu's appearance, Zhu Houzhao was furious, and severely reprimanded Dali Temple. If it hadn't been discovered in time, wouldn't these unconvicted suspects all die violently in prison one by one?This is the so-called justice of Dali Temple?

Everyone in Dali Temple was beaten up from top to bottom, and even the head of the cell was completely changed.

Zhu Houzhao's actions were straightforward and rough. Although it was shocking, one had to admire his means.So what if you can't find out, what happened in Dali Temple, even if the superior is innocent, but he still shoulders the responsibility of lax censorship, he simply replaces all of them, and then secretly sends someone to investigate carefully, he doesn't believe that he can't find out Why come here!

There is nothing in this world that can be hidden without a trace, unless it never happened!

Lin Xiu's fate was saved, and Jiao Shizhi was greatly relieved when he learned about it. He had guessed this possibility at the beginning, but he couldn't break into the prison of Dali Temple privately. It was too sensitive to go in as him. It took another two days abruptly, which made him feel very guilty.

He knows his character well, he is cautious when he can be cautious, and he never makes mistakes.But what happened with Lin Xiu this time sounded the alarm for him. If he was so hesitant every time he encountered a problem, it might be a bad thing.If Lin Xiu died because of him today, he would definitely feel guilty forever in his heart.

When the heavy snow fell, Jiao Shizhi also learned the latest progress of Lin Xiu's case. With the escort of the emperor and the assistance of Jin Yiwei, the Ministry of Criminal Investigation deepened its investigation, and finally had to hold a joint trial of the three divisions.

As soon as the interrogation by the three divisions started, many things that were originally hidden under the surface surfaced.

Especially the corruption of court officials.

After Ming Taizu, the efforts to kill corrupt officials became smaller and smaller, and he no longer had the prestige of Taizu back then.This is actually related to Taizu's decision-making back then.Perhaps it was because Zhu Yuanzhang was used to suffering since he was a child, or because of his hatred of officials inherited from his blood, he set up an extremely meager salary from the beginning.

There are advantages and disadvantages.

The system, which was useful at the beginning, gradually became sour in the later stage. For officials, this amount of silver was not as much as the money that merchants could get from selling, and the behavior of replacing salaries with precious banknotes made officials almost unsustainable. is the direct cause of massive corruption.Until the current dynasty, the treasure banknotes were almost abolished.

The account book was sent over by the emperor when the Ministry of Criminal Justice found Liu Dachun, and it was accompanied by the small seal of the supervising army. How could the Ministry of Criminal Justice not know what the emperor meant by this time.

No matter how great the resistance below is, the Secretary of the Ministry of Justice can only continue to investigate under pressure.Fortunately, by this time, he had already dragged Dali Temple and the Metropolitan Procuratorate into the water. Even if he knew that there were people behind him who were scolding and jumping, he could continue to investigate with peace of mind.

Die and die together!

However, just before a major breakthrough was about to be made, a sudden change occurred!

On November [-]th of the second year of Zhengde, Qianwei in Hangzhou, south of the Yangtze River, mutinied. At that time, Liu Dachun, the eunuch who supervised the army, was staying here, and was hacked and killed by soldiers during the half-day turmoil.Shocked to hear about this, the governor of Zhejiang and the prefect of Hangzhou rushed to report to the imperial court immediately after suppressing the mutiny, and half a day before that, the memorial of Jin Yiwei had already been lying on the emperor's desk.

The mutiny of the Weisuo was a major event that shocked the court. The cabinet meeting and the Wenhua Palace were discussed. Zhu Houzhao summoned important officials and held court meetings all day long.When the emperor clapped his hands in front of Jiao Shizhi and snorted coldly, Jiao Shizhi knew that this matter would definitely cause a bloodbath!

The investigation clues of the Ministry of Criminal Justice broke down.

In the early morning of the next day, Zhu Houzhao stood tall in front of the Fengtian Gate, with a stern face, "Since the Qianwei in Hangzhou can mutiny and kill the supervising army, the rest of the guards will not be much better. If the order continues, all guards in the capital of Zhejiang will be rotated." !"

"Remove the official position of the prefect of Hangzhou, all the people in the Hangzhou government will be thrown into prison, and will be released in the autumn! Re-select according to the list, and put the new foundation on the shelf within three days!"

"Liu Dachun is dead, but the evidence of the crime is solid. Lin Xiu is not guilty. He will be rewarded with a thousand taels of gold and enter a thousand households! Liuquan, the imperial censor, has made meritorious service. He will also be rewarded and transferred to the left servant of the Ministry of Punishment."

"Ministry of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs listened to the order - the Jiangnan corruption case, continue to thoroughly investigate! The Ministry of Prisons can second the troops of Beizhen Fusi at will on this matter, but if there is the slightest suspicion, don't miss it!"

"I will send a special person to investigate and give Shang Fang a sword. In case of trouble, he can beheaded first and then played. If anyone dares to resist, he will be killed on the spot!"

Several successive decrees were thrown out by the emperor one after another, causing no response from the ministers. Liu Jian, the chief minister of the cabinet, took the lead in standing up and shouted long live, and strongly agreed.Under the acquiescence of the cabinet, the rest of the civil and military officials either showed admiration, or had to follow the crowd, but anyone with eyes knew that the emperor was completely furious, and they didn't dare to fool around.

Pressed down by the emperor's heavy burden, the Ministry of Punishment suddenly had a bitter face, and was able to hack and kill Liu Dachun through the mutiny, which proved that this matter was more powerful and not so easy.Fortunately, the emperor gave them another good card, no matter how much pressure there is, they have to face the difficulties.

The king on the high station hall had cold eyes, and his voice was even more ruthless.

"I kindly told some people, don't think that you can abandon the pawns and save the car to avoid the limelight. What I want is that you all lose everything!"

"I want to see who can beat who!"

After the imperial court, Jiao Shizhi hurriedly followed the emperor all the way back to the palace. As soon as he stepped into the palace, everyone was kicked out by Zhu Houzhao. Because the matter was urgent, the emperor summoned the cabinet to enter the palace to discuss government affairs since he received the news from Jin Yiwei. It was promulgated until this morning.Until this time, Zhu Houzhao could relax for a while after returning to the hall.

"Did the people in the Jiangnan officialdom think I was a fool? They thought that if Liu Dachun's head was sent to me, I would pretend that the previous incident had never happened?! And even engaged in a so-called mutiny? Do you really think this can fool you?! Even Even an idiot can smell something wrong, how dare they think that I won't notice it?!" Zhu Houzhao complained to Jiao Shizhi madly, and almost rolled up his sleeves to do it.

Jiao Shizhi carefully looked at Zhu Houzhao's face, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, maybe they just want to abandon the pawns to save the car as you said. Although the behavior of these people is really annoying, it should make the minister Let's do it, don't even think about going there by yourself." From yesterday to now, he was afraid that the emperor would suddenly think of going out of the palace.

In fact, it is not impossible, but when you think of the court war that will be triggered in the future, then...

Zhu Houzhao stretched out his hand to stroke his hair, and frowned, "I want to go, the cabinet group probably dare to kneel and die in front of me. Hmph, the Jiangnan officials think Liu Dachun is dead, so I don't care about it for this sake? Dreaming , I will definitely dig deeper, even Liu Jian standing behind is no exception!"

Jiao Shizhi said silently in his heart, if it was really Mr. Liu Ge, he wouldn't make such reckless moves.

When the news about Hangzhou Qianwei spread to Yuqian, Jiao Shizhi knew that the Ministry of Criminal Justice's pressing force had made some people lose their pace. The Ministry of Criminal Justice did not seem to have the prestige of Dali Temple in recent years, but this is one of the six departments. Easily fooled?With the lessons learned from Dali Temple, the Ministry of Punishment is also working hard.

And this incident may appear to be the same on the surface, Hangzhou Qianwei's mutiny may have killed Liu Dachun by chance, but is there such a coincidence in the world?

Jiao Shizhi didn't believe it.

The Ministry of Criminal Justice had just found out about Liu Dachun with the evidence given by the emperor. Just as he was about to follow him, he suddenly died like this, and it also caused such a major event as Hangzhou Qianwei's mutiny. Even if the emperor had to focus on On this point, people were sent to suppress it, but the anger was also aroused by the audacity of this group of people.

As an emperor, Zhu Houzhao was well aware of such things. The salary of officials was too low, the internal corruption and circulation, and the vagaries of people's hearts were the direct causes of these things, but it was not the reason for wanton indulgence!Perhaps it was because the former emperor's father was too soft-hearted, he actually raised such pests alive!

"I don't care about the sophistication of the world and the collusion of interests! No matter who is involved in this matter, even the royal family, even the aristocratic family, those who dare to participate in it will show no mercy!" When Zhu Houzhao blurted out in front of the cabinet yesterday, Zhu Houzhao stood tall and turned his back Looking at the sun, the brows are full of evil spirits.

Jiao Shizhi, who was standing behind at that time, looked at the back of the person in front of him, and silently agreed in his heart.

In any case, such a hazard can no longer be let go.

Recently, two major incidents broke out in succession between the DPRK and China. The Lin Xiu corruption case was transferred to the Jiangnan officialdom. This caused the emperor to discuss with the cabinet several times during this period.This really enhances the "emotional exchange" between each other.

Jiao Shizhi silently ignored the gloomy look every time the emperor came back. After the emperor went to the Wenhua Palace again, he took this time to lead people to patrol the palace, and just returned to the Qianqing Palace after the end. A lot of things.Holding the ancient books in his hands, he hurried to Xiyuan. After entering the Leopard Room, Jiao Shizhi carefully wiped every ancient book in his hand, and then gently put them back in place.

After finishing all this, he squinted his eyes to look at the bookshelves in the room, and then strolled in the bookstore. He only read one-tenth of the bookshelves, and there were so many books that he hadn't appreciated yet. Inexplicably happy.

Even the eyebrows and eyes are curved.

The eunuch guarding Xiyuan poked his head out carefully, and said cautiously: "Master Jiao, the emperor ordered someone to send a box of books, do you want to go and have a look?" Every time a book is delivered, if the emperor and When Lord Jiao was not around, they made their own choices, but now that Lord Jiao was here, the bookstore was specially built by the emperor as a gift to him, so the eunuch who sorted out the books was naturally not self-professional.

Jiao Shizhi nodded when he heard the words, but he was very interested. When he walked to the yard, he realized that the so-called box was really a box. The big box half as tall as a person made Jiao Shizhi silent for a moment, and then asked : "I remember that the bookshelves in the house are almost full, where are these books going?"

The fat waiter said with a smile: "Part of it is still archived here, and the other part was collected by someone appointed by the emperor, and is going to be sent to Mr. Jiao's residence."

Isn't his residence the Qianqing Palace?

Jiao Shizhi suddenly felt curious, stood by and watched the fat waiter busily opening the box with someone. After opening, the fat waiter naturally pushed away a step, waiting for Jiao Shi to check, but when Jiao Shizhi's eyes touched After looking at the books in the box, he showed surprise, paused for a few breaths and immediately looked away, gritted his teeth and said, "Are you sure that all these were sent by the emperor?"

The fat waiter said suspiciously: "Yes, Mr. Jiao, is there something wrong?"

After Jiao Shi, the tooth socket was rubbed twice, something was wrong, of course something was wrong!These are all market novels!And they're all masculine! ! !

The big lingering pictures in the album made Jiao Shizhi feel like he was going to lose his eyesight!

Grinding his teeth, Jiao Shizhi closed the box vigorously, and then said to the fat servant: "No one is allowed to touch this box until I come back, do you understand?!"

The fat waiter didn't understand, so he nodded quickly, and watched the clear and bright Mr. Jiao go out of the courtyard angrily.His eyes fell on the box, and he was extremely curious. He just opened it and stepped back. He really didn't see what was inside, which was a bit embarrassing.

Jiao Shizhi went all the way back to Qianqing Palace, Lehua at the door rushed over as if seeing a savior, and said anxiously: "Lord Jiao, the empress dowager sent two girls here just now, and the emperor directly put them in the air." Kneeling outside for almost an hour."

Jiao Shizhi was slightly startled, and then said, "Has the news leaked out?"

Lehua shook his head, since he was promoted to the emperor's personal servant, he has been the chief eunuch of Qianqing Palace, and he also abides by the rules in the palace. "The guards in Qianqing Palace all know their numbers, not even a mosquito can fly in, and now only the people in Qianqing Palace know."

Jiao Shizhi nodded, and said to Lehua: "You go over there and watch first. If they show signs of being unable to hold on, at least watch them, after all, they were sent by the empress dowager." Lehua nodded politely.

Jiao Shizhi wiped his face with his hand, and went in tenaciously. As a person who knew the heart of a certain emperor, Jiao Shizhi really didn't want to go in to face the emperor's anger, if he didn't put himself in again ?

After entering the hall, Jiao Shizhi couldn't find anyone in the study, he hesitated for a while and walked to the bedroom, and as expected, he saw a figure lying on the couch.Jiao Shizhi originally thought that the emperor had fallen asleep in anger, but he crossed his legs and looked like he was reading a book in a dawdly manner. He read it with great interest, and he didn't notice Jiao Shizhi who was just a step away from him.

Jiao Shizhi noticed that the emperor was so engrossed, so he naturally wondered how precious the books in the emperor's hands could be so fascinating. When his eyes fell on the cover of the book, Jiao Shizhi's whole body froze.

"emperor!"

Jiao Shizhi's angry reprimand rang in Zhu Houzhao's ears, and he sat up straight in fright. He looked to the left only to find that Shizhi was standing beside him, looking at him with an angry face.

Eh, with an angry face?

Zhu Houzhao looked down at the book that was falling on his knees, the pages were opened wide open, the content inside was very hot, and Jiao Shizhi could still see the vivid illustrations on it.

Eyes, eyes are going to go blind!

Jiao Shizhi was very powerless in his heart, turned his head away and said: "When did the emperor have such a hobby, and also like to give such books to others? I advise the emperor to wake up quickly and don't sink into fantasy. "If he hadn't seen this in the emperor's hand, Jiao Shizhi would have almost forgotten why he rushed back to Qianqing Palace just now.

Zhu Houzhao raised his hand and threw the book in his hand under the bed, and said with a sneer: "Don't be angry, Shizhi, how could such a thing be given to others as a gift, I'm not just looking for something to do." It was over, Shizhi was angry.

Jiao Shi's eyes fluttered, and he looked at Zhu Houzhao with a half-smile, "Did the emperor forget? Rong Chen reminded me, Leopard Room."

Zhu Houzhao blinked slowly, as if he was thinking about something, and looked at Jiao Shizhi seriously after a long time, "Shizhi, believe me, those I plan to keep for myself, the person in charge must be I heard you wrong." His attitude was very sincere, if it wasn't for the incredible content of their conversation, Jiao Shi would almost believe him.

Jiao Shizhi looked at Zhu Houzhao's honest face and couldn't help but gritted his teeth and said, "Even if you keep it for yourself! Please allow me to clean them up."

Zhu Houzhao looked at Jiao Shizhi aggrievedly, "Aren't you burning books and burying scholars?"

At this moment, Jiao Shizhi finally understood the feelings of the elders in the usual days, he stretched out his hand to rub his forehead, sighed and said: "No, Your Majesty, let's stop haggling, all the ministers will be burned when they go back. "

Zhu Houzhao went back and lamented: "I ordered people to collect it quietly for so long, but Shizhi was so cruel that he didn't even leave a copy for me to appreciate first, and then I said it was out of print."

Jiao Shizhi: Hehe, hehe.

He didn't want to talk about this matter again, so he quickly changed the subject, "Your Majesty, what are you planning to do with the two women outside the house, after all, they were sent by the empress dowager."

The emperor is approaching now, but there is not even a waiter around him, no wonder Empress Dowager Zhang is so anxious.

Zhu Houzhao leaned against the head of the bed and sat halfway. He raised his eyebrows and looked at Jiao Shizhi. .

Jiao Shizhi suddenly felt a chill all over his body, and said with a serious face: "This is the emperor's decision, and it has nothing to do with the minister."

Zhu Houzhao chuckled lightly and said, "Shizhi played a good hand of cards, playing a thousand catties four or two times. But I won't accept it, just go back and forth from wherever."

Jiao Shizhi was surprised, "Since that's the case, why did the emperor let them kneel down?"

"When did I ask them to kneel outside?" Zhu Houzhao said, "I just told them not to step into the Qianqing Palace, and leave early." He said it calmly, but Jiao Shizhi stopped The child is clear in the chest.Presumably the Empress Dowager gave them some instructions before coming here, but now the emperor does not accept them, they are afraid that they will be punished if they go back, so they refuse to leave desperately.

A little pity rose in Jiao Shizhi's heart, but he knew that this was not the time to be soft-hearted.If the emperor didn't like it, he wouldn't force him to persuade him.

Just thinking about the reason why the emperor refused, Jiao Shizhi felt inexplicably guilty.

Zhu Houzhao's voice sounded faintly, with a little bit of seriousness and coldness that is rare, "Shizhi, when I make decisions, I never look at other people's faces. You are the only exception."

"But because of this, I will not change my decision. I just follow my heart. I am the emperor now. Apart from government affairs, don't I have the right to be free in other matters?"

Jiao Shizhi stood there for a while, suddenly felt his throat sore, "But your majesty, there is nothing small about the royal family, you"

"Yes, there are no small matters in the royal family. However, all affairs in the world are royal affairs, and royal affairs can also be private affairs. It is appropriate that people are selfish, and I am no exception." Zhu Houzhao said with a light smile, but with no hesitation room.

Jiao Shizhi kept silent and didn't ask any more questions.

After he returned from destroying the books in the leopard room in the afternoon, as far as Lehua knew, the two girls had been sent away, and she didn't even know where they were sent.The Compassionate Palace did not know what the reaction was, but every day when Jiao Shizhi escorted the emperor to the Compassionate Palace, nothing unusual was found.

Jiao Shizhi stood at the door for a long while, his head was empty, and he didn't know what he was thinking.He hoped that the emperor would accept the gift from Queen Mother Zhang and walk happily on the right path?Or did he simply refuse like today, asking him not to think too much?

He took a deep, deep breath, and there was a secret pain in his heart.

Speaking of which, it has been a long time.

Since Emperor Zhengde finally couldn't bear the showdown with him, it has never disappeared.

Sometimes Jiao Shizhi would think that it would be better if he didn't have the character he has now.What a wonderful life for wanton and unrestrained people, both carefree and at ease.With his temperament, he can only live cautiously and cautiously.Jiao Shizhi saw the emperor's unremitting teasing and implied firmness.

He could neither persuade nor try his best to refuse.

Occasionally, a thought quietly arises in my heart, perhaps leaving the emperor's side is the best way.However, Jiao Shizhi had watched the emperor suffer enough from "I'm for your own good" in the past few years from the crown prince to his ascension to the throne, so he let it go after thinking about it.Isn't his thinking like another kind of so-called "I'm doing it for you" idea?
