[Ming Dynasty] I seem to know too much

The warm light of winter crept up the window lattice and slipped into the house from the gap in the curtain. The furnishings in the house were extremely elegant, embellished by the master's favorite light color.Most of the scenery is still hidden in the darkness, only faintly hearing something through the huge black shadow by the wall.

Sunshine is curious, it wants to take a peek over there, but even if it stands on tiptoe, it can't cross the black line.All he could hear was the increasingly clear sound of water stains, and the half-lying black shadow in his eyes.

"Itch..." It was a murmur that was forced out of sleep by a person. He tried vaguely to turn over, but his consciousness was still trapped in the dream and could not extricate himself.

The black shadow half lying on his waist chuckled twice, then pecked and kissed somewhere else, forcing the man to groan, and stretched out his hand to push, but was pressed by the black shadow with one hand and pressed on the bed.

At the junction of light and darkness, the sun dangled there boringly, and there were uninterrupted small sounds in my ears, until a certain moment... that person also woke up.

……

Jiao Shizhi went out the window silently.

Zhu Houzhao watched Shizhi's facial expressions after waking up, and laughed so hard that he pounded the bed behind him.That laughter drew Lehua in, and he saw the emperor lying on the bed with his upper body naked, laughing uncontrollably. The bed was a mess, and those who didn't know thought something happened last night.

Le Hua tentatively asked: "Your Majesty, over there, Mr. Jiao..."

Emperor Zhengde propped himself up from the bed, glanced at Lehua lightly, and lay down lazily on his back, "What's wrong with Shizhi? You go and pass on the breakfast, and check if Shizhi is awake by the way, and invite him to come and have dinner together .”

Lehua's heart shuddered, and he went down with his mouth closed.

What to do and what not to do.What to know and what not to know.People in this palace are smarter than monkeys.

Since the emperor thinks that they don't know anything, they have to pretend even if they pretend, even better than the emperor hoped.

After Jiao Shizhi returned to the house, the first thing he did was to ask Xiao Dezi to ask someone to bring hot water. He soaked his whole body in the bucket to let his thoughts go for half an hour, and then crawled out dizzy.

Even after soaking for so long, it seemed that he still had the spices that Emperor Zhengde used to wear on his body, and the cool and delicate smell still lingered around his body, making him really want to jump back and wash.

However, before he could act, Xiao Dezi's cautious voice came from behind the screen, "My lord, Director Music is here, saying that the emperor invited you to come over."

Jiao Shi subconsciously licked the corner of his mouth, and then replied, "I'll be there in a while."

Although he really doesn't want to go to the emperor now.

Xiao Dezi should have turned around and told Lehua. Jiao Shizhi raised his hand and took off a towel to wipe off the water stains on his body. Holding a big towel to wipe Jiao Shizhi's hair.He raised his hand to stop his movement, took it by himself and began to wipe it.

The wet water was sucked away by the thick towel, and Jiao Shizhi wiped it vigorously when there was no more dripping water. However, he was not very careful in wiping his hair, so he planned to put the towel down after half-drying, Before he could move, someone took the towel in his hand, and then raised his hand to wipe it for him.

Feeling the force on the top of his head, Jiao Shizhi took an unnatural step to the right. He didn't need to look up to know who was behind him.Emperor Zhengde smiled and took a step behind him, continued to gently wipe Jiao Shizhi with his hands, and said, "Shizhi, if the hair is only half dry, it is easy to get wind and cold into the body when going out, which is not good."

Jiao Shizhi raised his hand to block Emperor Zhengde's movement, turned around and said, "Your Majesty taught me the lesson, so I'll do it myself."

Zhu Houzhao didn't force it, and obediently asked Jiao Shizhi to take the towel from the palm of his hand. His eyes turned around Jiao Shizhi's body and fell on his untied inner clothes, without reminding, "It's fine today, but Want to go out for a walk?"

As soon as Jiao Shizhi put his hand on his head, he was a little worried when he thought of the crowds outside these days.If something happened when the emperor went out, wouldn't the big festival be covered with haze?But now the emperor seems to be in high spirits, and the palace is really deserted. In the end, Jiao Shizhi was half forced and half obedient to be recruited by Emperor Zhengde.

Turning around, Jiao Shizhi tricked Mou Bin as well.

"Your Majesty, after all, there are too many people outside in the past few days, please ask the Commander to go out together, and ask him to send someone to guard the surrounding area, so it will be safer." Jiao Shizhi sincerely suggested to Zhu Houzhao.

Although Emperor Zhengde didn't like the feeling of being followed, seeing that it was Jiao Shizhi's condition for him to go out with him, he still agreed, and then sent someone to call Mou Bin into the palace.

Mou Bin, who was enjoying family happiness at home, was called in in a daze, thinking that something important had happened. Before he could adjust to the image of a capable commander, Emperor Zhengde's words put a smile on his face. The usual smile broke, "Ai Qing, I want to have fun with the people on this occasion. I'm going out for a stroll in the palace in the afternoon. You send some people to follow, so as not to make mistakes on the way."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Houzhao patted Mou Bin on the shoulder solemnly, and then walked out of the palace gate, thinking from the back that there was something important.However, Jiao Shizhi knew that the emperor was just in a hurry to make a travel plan...cough.

Mou Bin's shocked gaze shifted to Jiao Shizhi, and he said sadly: "Ren Zhi, don't tell me, you have a part too?!" Surprised, Commander Mou even forgot his previous arrogant behavior, and blurted out Jiao Shizhi's expression.

Jiao Shizhi wiped his face calmly, "Think about it, at least the emperor would like us to bring people to follow him. Think about it, if he doesn't want to and sneaks out..." His unfinished words made him Mou Bin couldn't help but had a headache, covered his head and wailed, "My son is still waiting for me to go back."

Today was the first day of junior high school, so he was given such a "surprise" immediately, and Mou Bin suddenly felt that even his teeth were throbbing.

Jiao Shizhi said with a smile: "You don't need to accompany us, but there should be more guards ambushing along the way, and be careful. There are too many people outside now, especially I can't grasp the emperor before the night comes. If you bring it back to the night market, it will be troublesome."

Although Jiao Shizhi said that, he was sure in his heart that the emperor would never come back with him so easily.With the character of the emperor, how could he come back to the palace so easily after such a difficult time?

Mou Bin went back with a toothache on his face, and Jiao Shizhi went back to the Qianqing Palace with his hands behind his back to find Emperor Zhengde. The emperor had already anticipated the possible backlash from Mu Bin, and wisely left Jiao Shizhi to comfort others.

Jiao Shizhi couldn't help shaking his head and laughing as he walked, if those elders knew, they would probably put him on the side of Liu Jin's group.But he really couldn't bear to refuse the emperor's request. He still remembered that the emperor's eyes were as clear as before, shining brightly, as if they were shining.

Really really beautiful glow.

On the first day of the first lunar month in the third year of Zhengde, there was still a little snow in the morning, and in the afternoon the sun quietly emerged from behind the thick clouds, and its warm rays fell on the ground, melting the snow on the ground.The wet ground is not slippery, and it is easy for people to fall inadvertently.

No, at the corner of the street, a handsome young man who looked like a son of a son almost fell down, and the partner beside him grabbed him with quick eyes and hands.The people passing by made a good-natured sneer, and the young man smiled and said something to the partner next to him. The partner frowned and seemed to have said something, and the two began to walk side by side again.

The young man who almost fell was Zhu Houzhao. The snow in the palace was cleaned all the year round, but the snow outside the palace was not treated like this.Just now he almost fell inadvertently, but fortunately he reacted quickly and Jiao Shizhi reached out in time, which saved the embarrassing scene.

Jiao Shizhi was worried about the hearts of the Jinyi guards who followed him, and at the same time worried about Emperor Zhengde's body, "...Are you okay?" He vaguely omitted the address, and asked Emperor Zhengde how he was.

Zhu Houzhao said casually: "What could be the matter? It's not the first time I fell, didn't I fall before when I was a child?"

Jiao Shizhi smirked, but didn't ask any more questions.When he was nine and ten years old, Zhu Houzhao liked to run around the palace the most. Although he restrained himself a lot after Jiao Shizhi came, he still often walked around the whole palace because it was so big.His habit of running around caused him to often go to the snow that has not been cleaned. Every time he stepped on it, the entire calf of the villain would be buried. If he ran fast, he might even fall down. into the snow.

After going back and forth several times like this, Empress Zhang at that time reprimanded the palace servants at the sweeping place angrily, and added a lot of manpower to allow this little ancestor to have fun.

Thinking of the past now, Jiao Shizhi realizes that those memories are still vivid and vivid, as if they are so long-lasting that they cannot be forgotten.

"Shizhi, do you like this?" Jiao Shizhi, who was immersed in his thoughts, was drawn back by Zhu Hou's words, and suddenly saw the little clay figurine in his hand. Zhu Houzhao was holding the little clay figurine Er poked Jiao Shizhi's arm.

Jiao Shizhi took the little one from the emperor, and said with a smile, "You think this looks like you, don't you?"

Emperor Zhengde pretended to be angry, and stretched out his hand to pinch Jiao Shizhi's cheek, "Okay, why are you arranging me like this?" Jiao Shizhi hid with a smile, and said to the little old man at the booth: "Master, please help me!" Give me a lively, majestic piglet next to me."

The little old man was gray-haired and kept moving his hands, as if he was used to it.Listening to Jiao Shizhi's request, he raised his head and said with a smile: "This young master's request is really high, the little old man will make one for you after finishing this."

Jiao Shizhi waited beside him with a smile, while Zhu Houzhao curled his lips and watched from the side.

The little old man moved quickly, and soon a little lady took shape in his hands. He smiled and lowered his head and handed it to a little doll who had been standing beside him, and the little doll pounced on her with bright eyes. , the mother who was guarding her behind quickly stretched out her hand to protect her, then reached out and took out ten Wen coins and put them on the stall.

After finishing that, the little old man squeezed out another small piece of mud, and pinched it quickly with his fingers, and soon the appearance of a piglet was formed.He touched the formed face with his fingers, and pinched out four short legs underneath, and the little pig tail curled up behind him also came out.

Not long after, Jiao Shizhi looked at the little piglet in his palm in surprise. At first glance, it was indeed just an ordinary piggy, but when he looked closely, there was a faint expression on his little face, as if he was losing his temper .Just looking at it, Jiao Shizhi sketched in his mind a little piggy who was about to kick his hooves and hit someone, with an aura that would not be afraid even if there was a tiger in front of him.

Jiao Shizhi's voice was full of admiration, "Master, you did a great job."

The little old man had already started to make it for the next child. He smiled and said, "It's just getting used to it." , they are almost the only adults around the stall.

Jiao Shizhi took out a piece of broken silver from his bosom, and threw it in the little old man's pocket with his fingers, then pulled Zhu Houzhao's arm and came out, ignoring the anxious cry of the little old man behind him, and in a blink of an eye they were together. disappear into the crowd.

Zhu Houzhao asked curiously, "Why are you running so fast?"

Jiao Shizhi replied with a smile: "Your Majesty, the money I gave just now is too much for that uncle, but it is worth it for me. In order not to give way to each other, of course I have to run faster."

Zhu Houzhao found that when Jiao Shizhi said this, his brows and eyes were very soft, to the extent that he wanted to reach out and touch him.However, Zhu Houzhao would not do this in public, no matter how shameless he was, he coughed and changed the subject, "There were so many children around that stall just now, crowding out other shoppers."

Jiao Shizhi said in amazement, "Your Majesty, these stalls are originally for children to visit." Whether it was the sugar figurines last time or the clay figurines just now, they are always the things that children like to play with when they go out. Jiao Shizhi also had a few of them in his hand.

Zhu Houzhao, who was distracted by these gadgets when he came out of the palace twice in a row: ...

Jiao Shizhi felt that Zhu Houzhao's face was a little strange, combining what he said just now with the emperor's previous actions, he immediately realized the reason why the emperor said so, bowed his head and smiled quietly twice.

After that, no matter what the emperor wanted to go shopping, Jiao Shizhi stopped talking and just walked around.

On the first day of the new year, there are not many people who come out to set up stalls. Most of them go to visit relatives at this time, and it will take a few days for more people to come out.Even so, Zhu Houzhao still had a good time shopping.

Jiao Shizhi was quietly observing the emperor throughout the whole process, and he was relieved when he found that he was in a good mood.Although the emperor didn't say it, judging from the way he was drinking last night, he was still a little depressed, and it would be nice if he could really be happy today.

At sunset, Jiao Shizhi tried to persuade the emperor to return to the palace, but to no avail.After meeting Mu Bin face to face, Jiao Shizhi had no choice but to take the emperor to an inn that Jin Yiwei had stepped on in advance to make sure it was safe.

Zhu Houzhao smiled and listened to Xiao Er's report of the name of the dishes, and casually ordered a few dishes from the list he just reported, completely ignoring the shocked expression on the face of Xiao Er, turned his head and said to Jiao Shizhi: "Look at the environment here. Looks fine."

Jiao Shizhi signaled Xiao Er to go down to order food, and said to Zhu Houzhao: "Yes, it is said that it has just opened in the past few years. Both the environment and the dishes are unique, and it has attracted many literati and refined guests."

Zhu Houzhao's eyes turned around the room, paused for a while on the calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, and then looked at the furnishings in the room, nodded slowly, "It is true that I have found what the literati want most. thing."

Jiao Shizhi held up a teacup to pour tea for the emperor, and then, under Zhu Houzhao's surprised eyes, he took out a pack of silver needles from his sleeve, and then took out one and stuck it in the tea, "This is the needle I got from the Imperial Hospital some time ago. If you want to come, be prepared.”

Emperor Zhengde didn't care, and asked Jiao Shizhi how many needles he wanted, but he didn't know where he hid those needles.Jiao Shizhi just reminded the emperor not to poke himself, and then put away the things.

But Zhu Houzhao remembered something, and Jiao Shizhi said: "Why was that Xiaoer so shocked just now? I just ordered a dish. Is there any other way for the folks?"

Jiao Shizhi couldn't help laughing when he thought of the look on that mistress just now, "No, although the mistress reported a series of dish names, most people just listened to it and couldn't even remember it. Hold on. He just played this trick just to attract customers, but in fact he still has a ready-made list in his hand."

Zhu Houzhao held up the teacup and smiled sullenly, "Since I just want to show off, I can't blame me."

At the beginning of the year, no one came out to walk around, and there was no one in the inn. Not long after they chatted, the dishes came up one after another.

Before Jiao Shizhi could act, Zhu Houzhao poked all the dishes with a silver needle, then calmly threw the oil-soaked silver needle on the ground, and said sincerely to Jiao Shizhi, "It's not poisonous, Let's eat."

Jiao Shizhi: ...

When the two finished most of the dishes, Jiao Shizhi heard Emperor Zhengde ask a very light question, "Shizhi, don't you plan to go back to Gong's house to have a look?"

Jiao Shizhi's whole body paused.

The Gong family...

He seemed to have not heard these two words for a long time.

When the Gong family was still there, Jiao Shizhi had a fairly close relationship with the Gong family.Every ten days and a half months, Mrs. Gong would take Jiao Shizhi back to visit her parents, and sometimes Jiao Shizhi would wave a small wooden sword in a resemblance under the guidance of his grandfather.However, such a warm picture has never been seen again since Gong's death.

Jiao Jun remarried soon, and Yang became pregnant within half a year.Because of this incident, the Gong family and Mr. Jiao had a big fight. They wanted to take Jiao Shizhi away, but Mr. Jiao disagreed.Later, because of Jiao Jun's series of behaviors, he completely broke off with Jiao Jun after being angry, and at most sent someone to send some gifts on Jiao Shizhi's birthday, and there was no other news other than that.

After Jiao Shizhi broke away from the Jiao family, he had visited the Gong family in private. Only then did he know that the Gong family had only the Gong family as an only daughter. After half a year, Mrs. Gong adopted a child under the persuasion of others, who was only eight or nine years old at that time.

Jiao Shizhi came to the door once or twice, and the awkward atmosphere made him never set foot there again, but he sent someone to deliver gifts during the holidays.

Apart from the information that Emperor Hongzhi secretly collected in Zhu Houzhao's hands, and the things to clear Jiao Shizhi's charges, Zhu Houzhao did not let people pry into Jiao Shizhi's privacy. This is his rare thoughtfulness, otherwise he would not It's silly to think about being cheated by Jiao Shizhi for several years of birthdays.

Thinking of Zhu Houzhao's matter, Jiao Shizhi's originally stiff face relaxed a little, and he was able to smile at the emperor, "After my mother passed away, their family adopted a child, who is now thirteen or fourteen years old, and it is said that he is very cute. , and very filial. I won't make trouble."

Zhu Houzhao slammed his fists on the table and shouted sharply: "How dare they do that!"

Instead, Jiao Shizhi laughed, and reached out to hold Emperor Zhengde's clenched fist, and persuaded in a low voice: "It's already passed, mother is the only daughter of my grandfather and grandmother, mother gave birth to me, and I should be the one to honor you." They are. However, they couldn’t see hope from me in those years, so...it should be. Anyway, they also spoke for me and helped each other. I am very grateful to them.”

Emperor Zhengde kept his mouth tightly shut, suppressing his anger before he could speak, "Why don't you talk about yourself? Going to the Gong's residence alone, but encountering such an embarrassing thing? Others don't feel sorry for me, but I feel so heartbroken to death! "

At that time, Jiao Shizhi probably didn't have a position in the middle school, he was just a guard of the East Palace, not to mention looking for news, it was lucky to be able to go out of the palace occasionally.When he went to Gong's residence full of hope, he was shocked to find that his grandfather and grandmother treated him as an outsider and entertained him with embarrassment and care. How would he feel at that time?

Jiao Shizhi smiled and replied softly: "Yes, I know the emperor will miss me so much, so I am not sad anymore."

Zhu Houzhao's frank appearance made Jiao Shizhi feel calm.He was naturally entangled and sad, but after being sentimental, the days passed. The 15-year-old Jiao Shizhi only survived a few nights in the quilt, and then he also struggled to get over.

Who can rely on whom to live a lifetime?Even if it was relatives, Jiao Shizhi didn't think it was necessary for them, and swallowed blood in his mouth, and he would grow up soon.

Zhu Houzhao had a vague insight into Jiao Shizhi's thoughts. He didn't show it on the surface, but he was so angry inside. Seeing that Jiao Shizhi didn't resent their grandparents, it was impossible for Zhu Houzhao to really do anything with them. His anger was directed at Jiao Jun I went, I just wanted to say that since Shizhi didn't pursue it, that's all.

Now, hehe, dreaming!

If you don't play with him to death, it's hard to understand the hatred in Emperor Zhengde's heart at this time!

Jiao Shizhi didn't know what the emperor was thinking, and the two finished eating in a harmonious atmosphere. Zhu Houzhao went to the night market specially. There were many more people at night than during the day, and Jiao Shizhi occasionally saw a few familiar photos among the crowd. Face, knowing that it was Mu Bin who was worried, made people follow closely.

As long as Jiao Shizhi thinks of the appearance of Mu Bin running for a day in person today, he can't help laughing in his heart. It is really rare to see that calm and playful commander become what he is today.

However, maybe Zhu Houzhao was tired of playing during the day, he didn't seem to be as excited as yesterday, after walking around, he just bought a few things, and then planned to go back.

The emperor's abnormal behavior made Jiao Shizhi suspicious, but at the moment he could only keep his doubts in his heart. It was a good thing that the emperor was willing to go back early. The longer he stayed outside, the more worried he became.

They were picked up and sent back and forth in a carriage, with the badge of Qianqing Palace, and Jiao Shi, as long as they went out in the name of doing business, the guards guarding the gate would not investigate much. After successfully smuggling people in, Mu Bin stood at the gate of the palace and breathed a sigh of relief.Before the breath was finished, Jiao Shizhi's gentle voice came from behind, "Master Commander, please stay."

Mu Bin looked back at him, raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Why don't you follow the emperor?"

Jiao Shizhi cupped his hands and said: "Please keep today's matter a secret, don't tell others." The guards at the gate are all his people, and he has his own discipline.But it was different with Mu Bin.

Mou Bin turned his head to look at him, "Jiao Shizhi, it's okay to play, don't let me play with myself one day." After speaking, he led the horse away from the gate of the palace, got on the horse and left.

Jiao Shizhi didn't follow up to ask, he knew that Mu Bin had already agreed.

Taking a deep breath, Jiao Shizhi looked up at the bright silver arc in the sky, and stepped back on the moon.

In the first month of the third year of Zhengde, when the atmosphere of the Spring Festival was strong, Emperor Zhengde, who had just returned to court not long ago, enthusiastically rewarded many people, including Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, Xie Qian and others. There is still a name attached to the end - Jiao Shizhi.

Give the house, reward ten thousand taels of gold, ten thousand mu of fertile land, and three thousand pieces of cloth and satin.

They are just ordinary rewards, which are not worth mentioning at all, but the number is a bit huge at one time. Even if they are silently attached to the end, they are still picked out and inspected.

Jiao Shizhi guessed that there would be such a day when he couldn't hold back the emperor's wild horse, but the number of rewards from the emperor was far beyond Jiao Shizhi's expectation. He and other ministers knelt down in front of Fengtian Gate to receive the order. Enduring the pinprick-like gaze from behind, facing the monarch who was smiling recklessly in the hall, his eyes were full of helplessness.

However, there is still a gentle smile on the brow, which is the gentleness that can only be tasted.

……

Zhu Houzhao paid more attention to the mutiny of Qianwei in Hangzhou than he could have imagined. At the beginning, he might just send people to investigate. After the news came back one after another, after the courtiers thought they could make a decision on this matter, the emperor sent more people just after the first month of the lunar year. Going forward, the extremely tough attitude is thought-provoking.

As far as Jiao Shizhi knew, the emperor even sent someone there in private, not to mention Jin Yiwei.Light and dark ambushed two hands, so I got more news after that.

The problems of Zhejiang Dusi were dug deeper and deeper, and all the imperial envoys were sent to dig them out.It's a trivial matter to eat military pay without pay. There are ten to five or six sergeants on the list, and the rest are old, weak, sick and disabled.The collusion of officers and soldiers and the common people are not new, let alone other things.

After Emperor Zhengde received this memorial, he stayed alone in the Qianqing Palace for a long time, and when he came out, he sent someone to find all the cabinet members.He said to Jiao Shizhi while walking towards the Wenhua Palace: "I thought some people were shameless enough, but I didn't expect that there are shameless people everywhere, and there is no distinction between upper and lower classes. There is no difference between criminals and murderers. "

Jiao Shizhi held the hilt of his sword and followed Zhu Houzhao, watched the emperor go to his battlefield, and began to think about what he could do with his body.The case of Zhejiang Dusi cannot be an exception. If the emperor wants to investigate thoroughly, then no matter it is Zhejiang Dusi, the guards all over the country must have the same problem, but the size is different.

Since the emperor called the cabinet, it proved that he did not intend to appease the emperor. However, such a move was too dangerous, and it would affect the whole body. Jiao Shizhi didn't think that the people in the cabinet would agree to the emperor's matter now.

Contemplate and then move.

Jiao Shizhi took a deep breath of the chilly winter breath, listening to the faint quarrels in the house, he had no intention of going in.Originally, he was supposed to be standing inside the door, but Jiao Shizhi went against the emperor's idea this time, and he also faintly agreed with the word "forbearance" in his heart.

It is a good thing that the emperor is full of energy.However, there have been too many recent incidents. Zhengde had just rectified Jinyiwei in the second year, and the Lin Xiu case broke out at the end of the year. The successive incidents shocked the government and the public, and there was no peace for a long time.

Compared with the courtiers who were restless and didn't know the emperor's deep meaning, Jiao Shizhi knew the emperor's thoughts in his heart.Compared with other emperors, Emperor Zhengde is more loose and free. Sometimes he doesn't pay attention to something, maybe it's just that he doesn't like it.

For the emperor's character, Jiao Shizhi also worried for a while, but the emperor has always been smart, so he grasped this speed very well.

But this time, it just stepped on Emperor Zhengde's thunder point.

Jiao Shizhi had foreseen a future that would be even more difficult than the present, and several Ge elders resigned one after another, and finally only Li Ge was left.Liu Jin is in power and controls the government.These so-called futures have disappeared under his efforts, leaving behind the present, which cannot be said to be good, or at least not bad.

But even so, even the emperor, who has a fairly good relationship with civil and military officials, is still very dissatisfied with the oppressive feeling when he first took control of the government.He was only fifteen at that time, and in the eyes of others, he was just a boy. Although the civil and military officials were respectful on the surface, they did a lot of small tricks in private, which made the young emperor always in a state of being deceived. .

Zhu Houzhao especially didn't like that feeling.

Not to mention whether there is a black hand behind the scenes, the incident that broke out in Jiangnan now is not because the people behind it were afraid of being traced by the emperor, abandoned the pawns to save the car, and even intervened in the matter of the guard.This is like a slap on the face of Emperor Zhengde, how can he let it go? !If at the beginning he spent no more than two or three tenths of the effort to make people investigate Linxiu's case, now he is stimulated to use ten percent of it.

The emperor's thoughts are not a bad thing, on the contrary, it is a good thing for an emperor to have such thoughts.However, for the world and the imperial court, stability is the most important thing.You can't become a big fat man with one bite. It's natural to be happy when you wiped out all the officials of Dali Temple in one breath, but you can't do this when you face the local people.

It's too easy to cause turmoil.

Jiao Shizhi thought of the vassal princes that Jin Yiwei was constantly monitoring, and deep worries arose in his heart.If the emperor really can't suppress his temper and shakes his foundation, it may really cause disaster...

Fortunately, the worries in Jiao Shizhi's heart did not take shape. After the emperor came out of the Wenhua Palace, although his face was stinky, it was much better than Jiao Shizhi's preset worst ending.Although the emperor was angry, he was not furious.

He lamented and complained to Jiao Shizhi, "These old ministers are really pedantic, and my head is going to be dizzy by them. Just a few words over and over again, Shi Zhi, I have a headache."

"Cough cough cough..."

An old voice came from behind, and Liu Jian coughed a few times and said: "Your Majesty, if you want to speak ill of the minister, please wait until the minister leaves before you speak, lest I have to face such a distressed situation." The friendly relationship between the monarch and his ministers made Liu Jian not feel too much when he heard the emperor's complaints.

For this emperor, he really has long been used to it.

Zhu Houzhao turned around reluctantly, and smirked, "It turns out that Mr. Liu Ge hasn't left yet."

Liu Jian nodded with a smile, "Yes, the emperor took the lead, and the old minister really couldn't keep up."

Zhu Houzhao pursed his lips, not wanting to fight with him, so he quickly sent them away, and then continued to worry about Jiao Shizhi, "I want to demote them all to become officials outside the capital, and staying in the capital will only poison my ears!"

Jiao Shizhi laughed, "If the emperor doesn't intend to listen to the opinions of the adults, why bother about this matter?"

Emperor Zhengde said calmly: "Could it be possible that I can't think that what they said is nonsense, wasting their current position, and then plan to make them give way in advance?"

Jiao Shizhi pretended to think for a while, and said half-seriously and half-jokingly: "If these adults are driven away, does the emperor want to do that?"

Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "Why, isn't the emperor just eloquent? It's a pity that there is still a judge by my side who sticks to the precepts. To achieve eloquence, we still need to work hard."

It took Jiao Shizhi a few breaths to realize that the judge was referring to him, and shook his head amusedly, "Your Majesty..." But he remained silent.

Emperor Zhengde's furious thoughts were blocked because he was indeed persuaded by the cabinet gang. If it doesn't work, then follow the steps and wait and see!

Even if he is afraid that he will follow the steps, they will not be able to bear it.

In February of the third year of Zhengde, taking advantage of the flood in the south, Zhu Houzhao was transferred away from the magistrate along the river and replaced him.In April of the same year, under the name of rectifying the guards, the names of all the people under the name of the guards all over the country were sorted out.In May, imperial envoys and censors were sent out on a tour, and Shang Fang was given a sword, and Dan Shu and iron coupons were rewarded.In July, a large number of guards and thousands of households were abolished.

In August, it was said that the official Shangshu impeached the imperial envoy and censor for wanton and reckless actions, but Emperor Zhengde refused to express it.In September, there were many impeachments, and the emperor was like this.

In October, Minister of the Ministry of Punishments reported that it was an unforgivable crime for imperial envoys to kill officials at will, and Emperor Zhengde silently refused.

In March of the fourth year of Zhengde, the imperial envoy Liu Xi returned to Beijing, accompanied by seven lives, a broken arm, and a car full of criminal evidence. On the grounds of Dan Shu iron coupons, with the head of the item as a guarantee, the emperor asked the emperor to thoroughly investigate Jiangnan's corruption. case!

The Emperor was furious, demoted Liu Xi to jail, and ordered the Ministry of Punishment to sort out the evidence. After discovering that all the evidence was true, the Jinyiwei, who had already been fully equipped, rushed to various places like wolves, and cooperated with the Ministry of Punishment to escort the officials involved in the case back to Beijing.

In May of the fourth year of Zhengde, the Ministry of Criminal Justice cracked down on the case. Emperor Zhengde issued eight edicts in succession, and none of the officials involved in the case will be left behind.Liu Xi was released without charge.

For a while, blood flowed into a river outside the Meridian Gate.

Yes, Zhengde Di Tete ordered that all punishments be carried out at Meridian Gate.When the first batch of the most serious people were executed, it was ordered that Beijing officials must attend.

There was an official who once played angrily, repeatedly denouncing Emperor Zhengde for being illegal.

At the court meeting on the second day, Zhu Houzhao threw the evidence of accepting bribes to His Royal Highness in front of civil and military officials, waved this person into prison, and said casually, "If you don't want to go, you can. Those who are innocent and are not afraid of verification, of course they will not go."

"I promise you not to go."

On the day of the execution, Jiao Shizhi also went, and he followed the emperor.Standing on the city wall, Zhu Houzhao looked gloomyly at the prisoners who were crying, howling, or silent. He was holding the city wall so hard that he almost smashed into the earth and rocks.

Jiao Shizhi's eyes slowly moved from below to the emperor in front of him, knowing how much pressure he was under this year.Although Jiao Shizhi didn't fully agree with the sudden behavior of the young emperor, he didn't think it was a bad thing.

"As much as I eat, I not only want them to spit it out, but I also want them to pay back ten times!" This was what the emperor said at the court meeting.Why there is corruption inside the guard, the reasons for the collusion of officials, the embezzled military fields... He can see everything in his eyes.

Even though there will be a lot of court discussions in the future, compared with the emperor's initial thoughts, the current thinking is much more mature.Compared with the unidentified behind-the-scenes mastermind, in the end Emperor Zhengde chose the more important thing at present.Of course, private investigations are still going on, and if an emperor wants to find out something, the evidence will be presented to him almost blatantly.

The difficult thing is how to pull out the cancer without shaking the foundation of Jiangnan.

In the end, Emperor Zhengde did it.

He still did it.

The author has something to say:

The collapse of the guard system is really a gradual and difficult process. After all, it is dominated by military fields. However, land annexation is something that happens in every dynasty... At most, there will be a few such ruthless people as Taizu and Wuzong on the way. Some people saved decades a little, and then ran into a mess.
