[Ming Dynasty] I seem to know too much
Chapter 68
Liu Jin felt a little unlucky recently.
Not recently, but the past two years have been very unlucky.
It is said that after the emperor ascended the throne, as the close servant of Emperor Zhengde, Liu Jin gained a lot of benefits from it.Especially at the very beginning, there were almost no trusted people around the emperor. As the eunuchs who had served the emperor for many years, he, Gao Feng and others rose to heaven in an instant and gained a lot of power.
However, your good deeds don’t last long. Ever since Emperor Zhengde began to show his love for them, Liu Jin and the others were impeached almost every day. At the end of the impeachment, they who were a little scared were completely numb. Anyway, the emperor would not do anything to them .
However, this idea continued until the second year of Zhengde, when Liu Jin was sadly ransacked by the emperor.
In fact, it can't be regarded as ransacking the house, and he was not the only one who was "ransacked".Almost all those who made small moves in secret were "searched" by the emperor this time. As soon as Liu Jin thought of turning back into a penniless self, her heart ached beyond measure.
The emperor's hand really directly poked their hearts.It hurts more than hitting them dozens of big boards!
Later, Liu Jin and Qian Ning worked together to add bricks and tiles to some gossip about Jiao Shizhi and made a lot of contributions.Originally, Liu Jin didn't want to do what Jiao Shizhi did. How could they, who had been serving Zhu Houzhao all the year round, not know how much the emperor valued Jiao Shizhi?
When Naihe was rectifying the Qianqing Palace, he let Liu Jin know the news that he didn't know before.It turns out that Jiao Shizhi often speaks ill of them behind their backs!This made Liu Jin unbearable. He hadn't thought about Jiao Shizhi's action yet, so why did he let someone do it first? !When Liu Jin was thinking this way, he never thought about how many innocent people's blood was stained on the silver that flowed into his purse continuously.
After the extremely angry Liu Jin counterattacked, he leisurely went to inspect his subordinates.Although Jiao Shizhi's Jin Yiwei is indeed good, but the people under him are not fools. All the news has been directed to the Zhang family Hou Ye who also intervened in the inner circle. What else is Liu Jin afraid of?
Liu Jin who thought so was very calm, and then ushered in his ultimate today.
Emperor Zhengde sent someone to give him an imperial decree very seriously, which was still reviewed by the cabinet.Liu Jin was taken aback when he received the news at first. You must know that although he didn't enter the palace every day, he would definitely enter the palace every two or three days to meet the emperor. How big of a deal should he be informed by imperial decree? !
When receiving the imperial decree, Liu Jin was still very meaningless, until the person who issued the decree finished speaking, he froze on the spot, unable to recover for a long time.
The person who came to issue the decree was Lehua from Qianqing Palace. After Liu Jin, he took over Liu Jin's position.After discovering that Liu Jin hadn't moved, Lehua had to cough a few times as a signal, and only then did Liu Jin react.
He accepted the imperial decree with a sad face, "Lehua, why did the emperor suddenly transfer me outside? Did something happen in the palace?"
Lehua didn't dare to be negligent, and replied carefully: "Eunuch Liu, everything in the palace is fine, there is no serious problem. The emperor's decree, even the villain can't figure it out. Eunuch is the emperor's confidant, so he should be more aware than the villain." "Even if the emperor's decree just now seems to be wrong, Lehua has experienced Liu Jin's character, and he must not dare to offend him at this time. I don't know when, this person will turn around!
Liu Jin watched Le Hua leave, and found out the truth of the matter in a few moments.
Well, if the emperor really did this for Jiao Shizhi, then Jiao Shizhi's status in Emperor Zhengde's heart is not as simple as he imagined before... Liu Jin wiped his face fiercely, embarrassed I went back to pack my things and prepared to go to Jiangxi.
Yes, the imperial decree of the emperor was to let Liu Jin go to Jiangxi. Usually, the court would send eunuchs to monitor each vassal's territory. The former one had just died in office, and Liu Jin was then sent by Zhu Houzhao.
If he was an ordinary person, he might be overjoyed by now, but Liu Jin's ambitions were far greater than these people's. How could he bear that he was just an ordinary supervisory eunuch?What a great thing it is to stay in the capital. Although earning oil and water is important, the emperor's favor is the most important thing!
When he came back from Jiangxi, his position had already been taken by someone!
Thinking of this, Liu Jin felt a pain in his heart, every step was wrong, and the place he was going to was Jiangxi...Jiangxi, that was King Ning's place!When Liu Jin thought of the connection she had with King Ning before, she suddenly felt chills behind her back. Didn't the emperor find out? !
Here, Liu Jin's complicated psychology is temporarily ignored. On the other hand, Qian Ning also soon learned of Liu Jin's fate, and suddenly sweated from fright, and sighed inwardly. Fortunately, although he had conspired with Liu Jin before, But in the end, he still didn't intervene. Otherwise, the person who had an accident this time would be on the list.
He wiped his sweat with his hands, and hurriedly entered the palace, hoping to see the emperor to show his loyalty, relying on his waist card, Qian Ning quickly entered the palace smoothly, but in the end, he ran into nothing in the Qianqing palace.Qian Ning also didn't ask the palace servants of Qianqing Palace, after all, if this thing is not done well, it will be a spy on the emperor's trace.
He lined up the places that Emperor Zhengde liked to go to, and headed straight to Xiyuan as soon as he rolled his eyes.
At this time, in the Leopard Room in Xiyuan, Jiao Shizhi was accompanying Emperor Zhengde to watch the two people wrestling. After one of them fell down, Zhu Houzhao clapped his hands and laughed, which made people reward him.But after three or two rounds, he made these people retreat, and the leopard room quickly returned to its previous tranquility.
At this time, the Leopard House is no longer the ordinary house. After Zhu Houzhao's two expansions, the Leopard House is completely different from its original appearance.In addition to Zhu Houzhao's occasional office work, there are also places for fun and frolicking, and there are even beauties and handsome men. Unfortunately, Zhu Houzhao is not interested in this for some reason.
In fact, Zhu Houzhao, as an adult man who is still old and has no experience, has already begun to be suspected by the people in the palace if he is... ahem.
Even the Empress Dowager Zhang, the mother of Emperor Zhengde, would occasionally have such doubts in her heart. Of course, in her opinion, her son is excellent, but she couldn't bear him and didn't respond at all after so many years.She also sent a few beautiful maids there, and even sent them directly to the Qianqing Palace, but judging from the news from various sources, Zhu Houzhao still didn't open!Dirty!
In front of Emperor Zhengde, naturally no one dared to reveal anything in front of the emperor.But in front of Jiao Shizhi, someone vaguely said something.At first, when Jiao Shizhi knew this, he couldn't laugh or cry, and almost wanted to throw the series of handwriting that he had foreseen on their faces.
Abstinence?Do not lift?You must know that the evaluation of Emperor Zhengde by later generations is lustful!
It's a pity that Jiao Shizhi is a little more upright and can't do such a thing.He just drilled these few subordinates who were particularly happy to spread the gossip, and tossed them until they cried and cried, and they didn't have the heart to think about other things.
Having said that, Emperor Zhengde is so leisurely today because he skipped work today.
As an emperor who was supposed to go to the early court with trepidation every day, he was undoubtedly unqualified.However, if you drag out his previous personality and savor it carefully, he will undoubtedly do a great job... Anyway, people still have to go to the early court.
As for why he didn't go today, it was because yesterday morning, Zhu Houzhao was chased by several people to marry his concubine, and the minister who gave birth to the heir was so angry that he hadn't been so irritable for a long time, and he got angry directly in the court.
"Since you are all in such a hurry, it is better to be alone than to be happy alone! Since Aiqing cares so much about my harem affairs, if anyone who is qualified to stand in front of Fengtian Gate has not married a wife, it will be a long time before the court. I won't go!" Emperor Zhengde left these words angrily, and left with his sleeves shaken.
The courtiers were left alone, looking at each other in blank dismay.
This, this... Isn't the emperor obviously being dishonest?The appearance of the clothes being played by himself, and the appearance of Lao Tzu not serving him, made these ministers feel absurd and nightmare. However, Zhu Houzhao's good reputation before made these ministers feel more at ease, thinking that this was just an angry talk.
Unexpectedly, Emperor Zhengde never spoke angry words at such a time.
On the second day, that is, this morning, a group of ministers who were waiting for the emperor waited depressedly for nearly an hour in the hall, and finally only waited for Jiao Shizhi with an apologetic expression.
Jiao Shizhi led people to trot in front of several cabinet scholars, and said guiltily to them: "I persuaded the emperor for a long time, but it seemed that I was really angry yesterday. The emperor is unwilling to come to the court no matter what. My lord, don't wait any longer."
Liu Jian and the others looked at each other, and Xie Qian asked, "Where is the emperor at this time?"
"The emperor was still in the Qing Palace before I came here. He should be in the Leopard Room at this time. But the adults should not go there. The emperor has ordered before he came just now that no one should disturb him except to report military secrets and important court affairs. "Although the guards in the palace were under the jurisdiction of Jiao Shizhi, the master was the emperor after all, and under Zhu Houzhao's fury, Jiao Shizhi couldn't do anything.
Hearing Jiao Shizhi's words, the faces of several adults were not very good-looking, including of course the other ministers who were listening nearby.Jiao Shizhi smiled wryly and said: "My lord, you also know the emperor's character. Yesterday...it was indeed too late. The emperor has spoken directly. If I persuade him again, let me go out of the palace and stay for a few days, so as not to be in the palace." An eyesore to him."
Of course, Emperor Zhengde would not say that to Jiao Shizhi, but Jiao Shizhi knew what the elders were thinking. They all knew that Jiao Shizhi's position next to the emperor was unusual. Maybe there was no persuasion from others, but Jiao Shizhi just Not necessarily anymore.However, Jiao Shizhi didn't want to arouse Emperor Zhengde's greater anger in this matter.
The reason why Emperor Zhengde was angry was more or less related to him, but Jiao Shizhi was the most difficult person among them.If he became the main force of persuasion, perhaps the emperor would be even more angry.
……
It is precisely because of this that after Jiao Shizhi comforted several cabinet elders, the remaining ministers could only rely on the cabinet to appease them.Afterwards, he went back to the Leopard Room non-stop, for fear that the emperor would run out of the palace to relax while he was away, if that was the case, he would have lost his leg.
Fortunately, Zhu Houzhao just let people wrestle and play in the leopard room, but after watching a few games, he got tired of it. After driving people away, he looked at the beam on the top and said: "I am much more busy on weekdays, and suddenly I became quiet." It feels awkward."
Jiao Shizhi said: "The emperor is used to being busy, why not leave tomorrow."
Emperor Zhengde raised his eyebrows, crossed his hands behind his head, and said with his legs crossed: "No, such leisure is a serious life. Every day, I know that I am staring at the harem. I'm afraid I didn't leave them an heir. I can’t understand people’s language, so yesterday I was still thinking about death in court, right? I’ll see if anyone else wants to try, let alone enter the palace to persuade them, I’ll make them unable to even enter the palace gate!”
Jiao Shizhi pursed his lips, knowing that he couldn't persuade him anymore.The emperor is just in a fit of anger right now, it would be useless to talk too much, but... thinking about the worries of the ministers, he still said: "Your majesty, the civil and military officials are worried about your harem situation, and it is for your sake. Although they did intervene There are too many, but the emperor has been on the throne for nearly five years this year, and there has never been an emperor at this age who has not married, no wonder they are worried."
Jiao Shizhi spoke very slowly and lightly, for fear that Emperor Zhengde would feel that he was also persecuting him.
Emperor Zhengde was indeed not angry. Instead, he turned over and sat on the edge. Jiao Shizhi was standing near the bed. With this movement, his face was almost leaning against Jiao Shizhi's waist, "Shizhi also wants me to marry a wife." Have a child?"
Jiao Shizhi said: "This should be decided by the emperor, our opinions are irrelevant."
"I just want to know your opinion." Emperor Zhengde said stubbornly, stretched his arms around Jiao Shizhi's waist, pressed his ears against his abdomen, and repeated, "I want to know, how did you Thought."
"I..." Jiao Shizhi just uttered a word, but quickly closed it again.
He looked at the emperor with the brim of his hat leaning on his body, with his strong arms wrapped around his waist, as if he could hear the beating of his heart clearly, "I hope the emperor can do what you like."
"Then stop trying to persuade me."
Zhu Houzhao said softly, his big hand comforted Jiao Shizhi's back for a moment, then returned to his waist, and put his arms around the thin young man, he sighed contentedly in his heart, even if he was given tens of millions of gold, he would not be able to live in such a day. How can you take the initiative to destroy it?
Of course he knew that with his current status and age, even if he didn't want to marry a queen, if there were a few servants around, there wouldn't be such a fierce remonstrance in the court yesterday.
But Emperor Zhengde was unwilling.
His father and emperor were able to be a couple for the rest of their lives, so how could it not work if it fell on him?Isn't it just that the person you like is a bit unique, so what does it matter?
Although Shizhi couldn't say anything, Emperor Zhengde didn't know why. If one day he could soften the layers of ice on the man's outside, it must be a persistent effort.If he stopped and docked on the way, Shi Zhi was afraid that he would only be happy for him, except for a little melancholy.
How does this work?
What he wants is all the emotions.
Jiao Shizhi smiled under Emperor Zhengde's patting again and again. The emperor seemed to be coaxing him like a child. It was really helpless, but very ironic.Even if I know it's not right, I will occasionally rely on it for a short time, even if I desperately think that I need to pull away, I still have the tenderness of nostalgia.
The two people in the house were warming up, when there was noise outside, Jiao Shizhi took a step back and wanted to go out to have a look, but Zhu Houzhao reluctantly brought them back, and muttered, "The crowd outside are not for nothing, What do you want to get out?"
Just as Jiao Shizhi was about to speak, the voice outside the house became louder and louder, and they could even hear Lehua's voice, "Empress Dowager, don't worry, the villain will go in and report right now, please take it easy."
"What a joke! Whenever the empress dowager wants to see the emperor, she needs to report through you? Go away, don't get in the way in front of the empress!" Another voice of reprimand rang out, and Zhu Houzhao laughed lazily, "Aunt Mo's The words are still so sharp, after so many years, the voice is still so loud."
Regardless of disrespect, Jiao Shizhi stretched out his hand to break Emperor Zhengde's arm, and said helplessly: "Your Majesty, stop making trouble. If the Empress Dowager comes in, it's not good to see this scene."
"What's wrong with this? Didn't my mother hope that I would marry someone I like soon? Wouldn't it be just right for her to see?" Zhu Houzhao was unwilling to let go. He buried his head in Jiao Shi's waist and rubbed hard a few times, smelling the coke. Appropriate body faint fragrance.Jiao Shizhi was also a pampered son, and the clothes on his body were still scented by Xiao Dezi, but the smell of the spice was not strong, so Zhu Houzhao could smell it only when he was so close An elegant fragrance like the character of Shizuoka.
Jiao Shizhi smiled wryly again and again, and managed to break the emperor's arm away skillfully, and took a few steps back, "Your Majesty, no."
His voice was soft, but with a firmness that couldn't be ignored.
Zhu Houzhao sighed, he didn't use any real force just now, otherwise Jiao Shizhi couldn't have retreated so lightly just now.
"Shizhi, what should I do with you?"
The moment before Empress Dowager Zhang came in, Emperor Zhengde's soft voice floated in the air, followed by Empress Dowager Zhang's voice, mixed with strong anger, "Your Majesty, what's going on today?"
Such a close connection was so close that Jiao Shizhi couldn't react. After seeing Queen Mother Zhang, he knelt down to salute, and then was pulled up by Zhu Houzhao on the way to Queen Mother Zhang, and pushed aside with his backhand.
"Queen Mother, why are you here?" Emperor Zhengde showed a smiling face, and sat down on the couch facing Queen Mother Zhang.As soon as Empress Dowager Zhang saw that there were only Emperor Zhengde and Jiao Shizhi in the room, her ugly face became even more ugly.She slapped the table with one hand and shouted sharply: "Emperor, why have you been messing around with this kind of people all this time? Didn't you listen to all the things I said before?"
Emperor Zhengde said slowly, "My queen, shouldn't Liu Jin and others around me be more incompetent and out of line than Shizhi? How could you be able to tolerate it at that time? Now it's rare to change to someone who is more serious and upright. Are you not happy? Do you really want Liu Jin to be around me?"
Zhu Houzhao's sharp rhetorical question made Queen Mother Zhang pause for a moment, unable to refute.Even how the servants around the prince coaxed the prince to play, at that time, Empress Zhang only had love in her eyes, and she was afraid that she would toss him a little bit.Just like what Zhu Houzhao said, why are you unhappy now that you have changed to a better candidate?
Could it be that she really hoped that the emperor would be surrounded by people like Liu Jin as the emperor said?
Empress Dowager Zhang shivered violently, the anger on her beautiful face gradually faded, and she waved her hands weakly, "Forget it, I was indeed too anxious just now. Empress Dowager, I was just worried about you. If things like that happened, if it wasn’t for your uncle coming in today and telling me that the queen mother didn’t even know that you didn’t go to court today, why didn’t you tell me when you came to see me?”
Zhu Houzhao sat down beside Empress Dowager Zhang and said with a smile: "Mother, don't worry, the matter is not as serious as Hou Ye said. I was just scaring them, and it will be fine after a few days."
"The queen mother knows that you don't like others staring at you all the time, but you are the emperor after all, and you are different from others. If you occasionally have something, let it go." Queen Mother Zhang sighed. I realized that I spoiled the emperor too much at the beginning, but now the emperor's ideas are very righteous, and I may not necessarily get his approval if I want to say something to him.
Zhu Houzhao pursed his lips and smiled, "I know, mother, don't worry."
Empress Dowager Zhang glared at him with beautiful eyes, and said angrily: "How can I not worry? You are 20 years old this year, and at your father's age, at least you married me, but look at yourself, even the one around you No one is staying, do you still want to live alone?"
Queen Mother Zhang didn't really want to force Zhu Houzhao to marry a daughter-in-law, even if it was to find a caring person. If there is someone who likes to iron posts by her side, this person will feel different in her heart.
"I don't force you to marry a very good girl. No matter how high your status is, these are not a problem. You also know my court habits, even if you are a commoner. If you like someone, others may Will stop it, won't Queen Mother help you?" Queen Mother Zhang said earnestly.
Zhu Houzhao shook his head and laughed: "Queen, don't guess. I really don't have any girls I like. Even if you force seven or eight of them to me now, I don't want any of them. Don't worry. There are people Maybe it’s because my own fate hasn’t arrived yet?”
Empress Dowager Zhang didn't notice at all that when Emperor Zhengde said this, his eyes turned slightly to the side and fell on the third person in the room.
"You are the emperor, so you still need to pay attention to fate? I'm afraid the queen mother will piss you off!" Queen Mother Zhang laughed angrily at Zhu Houzhao's words, and shook her head helplessly.
Zhu Houzhao begged for mercy and acted like a baby beside Queen Mother Zhang, and finally fooled Queen Mother Zhang.
After sending the big Buddha away, Emperor Zhengde's face immediately turned gloomy, "As long as someone from the Zhang family enters the palace, the queen mother will definitely come to see me once! It's really annoying. It's appropriate to send someone to notify the palace gate guards, don’t let them enter the palace next month.”
Jiao Shizhi said worriedly: "What if the Zhang family sues the empress dowager?"
It's not impossible either.
Zhu Houzhao snorted coldly, "If they dare to sue, next time I will imprison him for two months, and next time for three months, see who can afford to lose, anyway, it makes no difference to me."
Jiao Shizhi smiled lightly and shook his head, but finally gave orders.
……
It took an unprecedented half a month for Emperor Zhengde to stop the court. During this period, the memorials were still corrected as usual, and the officials and the cabinet were still operating as usual. During this period, the cultural relics officials included several cabinet scholars and six ministers. No one can face the emperor directly, and it is really impossible to even enter the palace gate!
Well, this is the first time they have encountered such a personality emperor.
It's not that there are no official records, the memorials of persuasion and accusation are like snow flakes flying off the desk, but before the master sees the memorials, he will order the director of ceremonies to remove them first, and those memorials that he does not want to read will be removed. It never fell into his hands at all.
The emperor's behavior was outrageous and informal. Indeed, several courtiers were so angry that they told them to return home, and Zhu Houzhao was very happy, and agreed directly with a swipe of a pen.Turning around, a few people were transferred to fill the vacancy, and the speed was unbelievable.
The cabinet is calm.
They have dealt with the emperor a lot, and they will not be as blind as they were in the early years of Zhengde.Based on their understanding of the emperor in the past few years, he must have stepped on his thunder point for resisting so much.Regarding his own affairs, Emperor Zhengde always argued with reason and did not allow others to intervene.
But the matter of Lihou is indeed imminent in their view.
The emperor is already 20 years old, not to mention having a son under his knees, but he doesn't even have the prerequisites for having a son!One must know that Emperor Hongzhi not only lived for a short period of thirty years, but they were also well prepared for fear of causing any disaster.
However, this kind of psychology really cannot be put on the bright side, it can only be reflected in the sidelines through persuasion and remonstrance.It's just that this master has a stubborn temper and is not very willing to be reminded.
In fact, if Jiao Shizhi hadn't hurriedly chased them out on the day when Emperor Zhengde started to stop, he had a few words with them, and they would have been among the people who asked to retire and return to their hometowns during this period of time.
Jiao Shizhi had something to say, which made them listen to it.
"The adults also know that the emperor's character is like this, but he is actually kind-hearted. But if we angered the emperor even more in this anger, wouldn't it make the ending worse? If the emperor made some impulsive decisions, Because the majesty of the emperor cannot be changed, wouldn’t it mean that many good ministers have been missed? Your lords should also know how important they are to the court, the country, and the emperor, so don’t do anything?”
I still remember that Li Dongyang said at that time: "Your Majesty, what can make him angry? If I hand over the booklet, I will only be like a pebble falling into the water, and I will not even see a shadow." This sentence is in the middle of a sentence. The emperor's preferences were all said.
Jiao Shizhi said with a smile: "You are wrong. At least the supervisor will not dare to stop your papers, and the emperor wants to see it. Since the emperor is unwilling to go to the court, he blocked his In connection with the ministers, you are the ones who can build a bridge between the emperor and the officials at this time. Please don't underestimate the importance of yourself and underestimate the importance of yourself in the eyes of the emperor. position in the
It was also because of Jiao Shizhi's words that they endured it for a while.Then I witnessed Emperor Zhengde's nonsense in anger.
... Well, sometimes it is good to listen more to the young juniors. At least during this period of time, the emperor had a good tone when answering their memorials, and he even cared about Elder Liu Ge's health.
But half a month is the limit, even if what Jiao Shizhi said makes sense.
After all, they are the cabinet and the elders of the cabinet. It is impossible to sit back and watch the emperor continue like this.
On July 23, when the cabinet had just drafted a memorial to be sent to the palace, there was an incident in the palace, which was temporarily covered up.
The reason is because of this half-month strike.
The distribution of memorials from the emperor needs to be approved, and not all the memorials will be read by the emperor, so the right to approve this part falls into the hands of the supervisor of ceremonies.With the development of the past dynasties, until now, since the early years of Zhengde, all the memorials will reach the hands of the emperor after passing through the supervisor of ceremonies. This is ordered by Emperor Zhengde himself.And in this process, if the emperor had a special order, the memorials about those people or things would not be delivered to them.In addition to important matters, some side matters are occasionally handed over to the supervisor of ceremonies.
The power of the supervisor of ceremonies has become stronger and stronger.
During the more than half a month's strike, a large number of memorials poured into the palace, and only a small part of them will fall on the desk of Emperor Zhengde, and it is hard to say about the rest.
Originally, the people in charge of the Ritual Supervisor were very familiar with this matter. Standing in this key central area, it was easy for them to do something small, and they never had any major incidents.
The thing happened to Jiao Shizhi.
Or that's not the case, the source is still in Emperor Zhengde.Since Liu Jin was demoted to Jiangxi by him, Jiao Shizhi replaced him and sent someone to supervise the Supervisor of Rites.His supervision is different from Liu Jin's. Liu Jin checks internally, and Jiao Shizhi externally. According to common sense, it should be impossible to understand this better than Jiao Shizhi.
However, Liu Jin is not only a supervisor, he is also a participant.For the supervisor of ceremonies, he is an "associate".
Since the "Xiuchun Disaster", Jinyiwei's people's congress has been cleaned up, and those who can stay are capable people. Since Jiao Shizhi sent someone to take charge of this matter, they will carry it out with trepidation?
What?Jin Yiwei can't go in and search the Rites at will?Who said that they need to go in and search, they just need to stay for a while during the daily patrol, quietly, someone sneaks out, how can these internal servants who don't know martial arts find out?
Who would doubt the most ubiquitous guard in the palace?
Even the servants who are also everywhere can't think of them.
As a result, certain things that have been concealed and concealed have become almost everywhere. They were exposed to the eyes of the investigators, and they were naturally known to Jiao Shizhi. The last Emperor Zhengde who knew it calmly smashed the table, and then He took people directly to the supervisor of ceremonies.
A group of people went straight to the Prison of Rituals. The speed of such a fast startled the servants who had not received the news. They had never seen the emperor come here on weekdays.
At that time, the eunuch Zhang Ying, the supervisor of ceremonies, was Li Rong.
Li Rong is also an old man who served Zhu Houzhao when he was a child, earlier than Liu Jin.But when he was eight years old, he was transferred to the Supervisor of Rituals. When he climbed to the eunuch of Bingbi, Zhu Houzhao also succeeded him. Later, he also selected Li Rong from among the eunuchs of Bingbi to become the eunuch of Zhangyin.
Later, Gao Feng and Liu Jin also came in one after another, but they were just eunuchs holding pens.
Li Rong is trusted by Zhu Houzhao, which is different from Liu Jin's trust and closer to that of a minister.If it is verified to be true this time, Emperor Zhengde will definitely not let it go easily.
Seeing the emperor coming, the people outside the supervisor of ceremonies all knelt down to salute, and trot cleverly, intending to run in to report, but Jiao Shizhi stepped forward and pulled him to castrate.
What the emperor wants to see now is naturally the most common thing.
They walked along the gallery, and before they entered, they heard a violent shouting sound from the main room. The sound was unfamiliar to Jiao Shizhi, but familiar to Emperor Zhengde.
That was Li Rong's voice.
"Are you guys blinded by dog shit? You dare not even report this kind of report. It's because you think your head is too heavy and want to change its position quickly? You want to change your position, you can't Don't fucking implicate me! If you want to die, you can die alone, why, you still want to drag someone to support you!"
Someone in the room refuted a few words in a low voice and couldn't hear clearly, then Li Rong roared again, "You're so idle! Oh no, I forgot that you don't even have eggs like me! You've given me a lot of patience, You can even say the words of collecting money and not doing things. Who told you to collect money?! Everyone does this, but I don’t see me being angry every day. Why don’t you have a long memory and commit crimes against the wind? ah!"
"Don't think I'm talking only about him, you two are the same, don't think Liu Jin can protect you when he's around, and I'll play with you to death when he's around, now that he's gone, don't fucking court death. These pressures I will sort out all the notes that come down, and then send them to the emperor, and then play tricks on me, I will give you two fucking mouths first, and then I will give you fifty sticks for nothing!"
The corners of Jiao Shizhi's eyes twitched when he heard it outside, this palm print eunuch is quite... straight and forthright.
Not recently, but the past two years have been very unlucky.
It is said that after the emperor ascended the throne, as the close servant of Emperor Zhengde, Liu Jin gained a lot of benefits from it.Especially at the very beginning, there were almost no trusted people around the emperor. As the eunuchs who had served the emperor for many years, he, Gao Feng and others rose to heaven in an instant and gained a lot of power.
However, your good deeds don’t last long. Ever since Emperor Zhengde began to show his love for them, Liu Jin and the others were impeached almost every day. At the end of the impeachment, they who were a little scared were completely numb. Anyway, the emperor would not do anything to them .
However, this idea continued until the second year of Zhengde, when Liu Jin was sadly ransacked by the emperor.
In fact, it can't be regarded as ransacking the house, and he was not the only one who was "ransacked".Almost all those who made small moves in secret were "searched" by the emperor this time. As soon as Liu Jin thought of turning back into a penniless self, her heart ached beyond measure.
The emperor's hand really directly poked their hearts.It hurts more than hitting them dozens of big boards!
Later, Liu Jin and Qian Ning worked together to add bricks and tiles to some gossip about Jiao Shizhi and made a lot of contributions.Originally, Liu Jin didn't want to do what Jiao Shizhi did. How could they, who had been serving Zhu Houzhao all the year round, not know how much the emperor valued Jiao Shizhi?
When Naihe was rectifying the Qianqing Palace, he let Liu Jin know the news that he didn't know before.It turns out that Jiao Shizhi often speaks ill of them behind their backs!This made Liu Jin unbearable. He hadn't thought about Jiao Shizhi's action yet, so why did he let someone do it first? !When Liu Jin was thinking this way, he never thought about how many innocent people's blood was stained on the silver that flowed into his purse continuously.
After the extremely angry Liu Jin counterattacked, he leisurely went to inspect his subordinates.Although Jiao Shizhi's Jin Yiwei is indeed good, but the people under him are not fools. All the news has been directed to the Zhang family Hou Ye who also intervened in the inner circle. What else is Liu Jin afraid of?
Liu Jin who thought so was very calm, and then ushered in his ultimate today.
Emperor Zhengde sent someone to give him an imperial decree very seriously, which was still reviewed by the cabinet.Liu Jin was taken aback when he received the news at first. You must know that although he didn't enter the palace every day, he would definitely enter the palace every two or three days to meet the emperor. How big of a deal should he be informed by imperial decree? !
When receiving the imperial decree, Liu Jin was still very meaningless, until the person who issued the decree finished speaking, he froze on the spot, unable to recover for a long time.
The person who came to issue the decree was Lehua from Qianqing Palace. After Liu Jin, he took over Liu Jin's position.After discovering that Liu Jin hadn't moved, Lehua had to cough a few times as a signal, and only then did Liu Jin react.
He accepted the imperial decree with a sad face, "Lehua, why did the emperor suddenly transfer me outside? Did something happen in the palace?"
Lehua didn't dare to be negligent, and replied carefully: "Eunuch Liu, everything in the palace is fine, there is no serious problem. The emperor's decree, even the villain can't figure it out. Eunuch is the emperor's confidant, so he should be more aware than the villain." "Even if the emperor's decree just now seems to be wrong, Lehua has experienced Liu Jin's character, and he must not dare to offend him at this time. I don't know when, this person will turn around!
Liu Jin watched Le Hua leave, and found out the truth of the matter in a few moments.
Well, if the emperor really did this for Jiao Shizhi, then Jiao Shizhi's status in Emperor Zhengde's heart is not as simple as he imagined before... Liu Jin wiped his face fiercely, embarrassed I went back to pack my things and prepared to go to Jiangxi.
Yes, the imperial decree of the emperor was to let Liu Jin go to Jiangxi. Usually, the court would send eunuchs to monitor each vassal's territory. The former one had just died in office, and Liu Jin was then sent by Zhu Houzhao.
If he was an ordinary person, he might be overjoyed by now, but Liu Jin's ambitions were far greater than these people's. How could he bear that he was just an ordinary supervisory eunuch?What a great thing it is to stay in the capital. Although earning oil and water is important, the emperor's favor is the most important thing!
When he came back from Jiangxi, his position had already been taken by someone!
Thinking of this, Liu Jin felt a pain in his heart, every step was wrong, and the place he was going to was Jiangxi...Jiangxi, that was King Ning's place!When Liu Jin thought of the connection she had with King Ning before, she suddenly felt chills behind her back. Didn't the emperor find out? !
Here, Liu Jin's complicated psychology is temporarily ignored. On the other hand, Qian Ning also soon learned of Liu Jin's fate, and suddenly sweated from fright, and sighed inwardly. Fortunately, although he had conspired with Liu Jin before, But in the end, he still didn't intervene. Otherwise, the person who had an accident this time would be on the list.
He wiped his sweat with his hands, and hurriedly entered the palace, hoping to see the emperor to show his loyalty, relying on his waist card, Qian Ning quickly entered the palace smoothly, but in the end, he ran into nothing in the Qianqing palace.Qian Ning also didn't ask the palace servants of Qianqing Palace, after all, if this thing is not done well, it will be a spy on the emperor's trace.
He lined up the places that Emperor Zhengde liked to go to, and headed straight to Xiyuan as soon as he rolled his eyes.
At this time, in the Leopard Room in Xiyuan, Jiao Shizhi was accompanying Emperor Zhengde to watch the two people wrestling. After one of them fell down, Zhu Houzhao clapped his hands and laughed, which made people reward him.But after three or two rounds, he made these people retreat, and the leopard room quickly returned to its previous tranquility.
At this time, the Leopard House is no longer the ordinary house. After Zhu Houzhao's two expansions, the Leopard House is completely different from its original appearance.In addition to Zhu Houzhao's occasional office work, there are also places for fun and frolicking, and there are even beauties and handsome men. Unfortunately, Zhu Houzhao is not interested in this for some reason.
In fact, Zhu Houzhao, as an adult man who is still old and has no experience, has already begun to be suspected by the people in the palace if he is... ahem.
Even the Empress Dowager Zhang, the mother of Emperor Zhengde, would occasionally have such doubts in her heart. Of course, in her opinion, her son is excellent, but she couldn't bear him and didn't respond at all after so many years.She also sent a few beautiful maids there, and even sent them directly to the Qianqing Palace, but judging from the news from various sources, Zhu Houzhao still didn't open!Dirty!
In front of Emperor Zhengde, naturally no one dared to reveal anything in front of the emperor.But in front of Jiao Shizhi, someone vaguely said something.At first, when Jiao Shizhi knew this, he couldn't laugh or cry, and almost wanted to throw the series of handwriting that he had foreseen on their faces.
Abstinence?Do not lift?You must know that the evaluation of Emperor Zhengde by later generations is lustful!
It's a pity that Jiao Shizhi is a little more upright and can't do such a thing.He just drilled these few subordinates who were particularly happy to spread the gossip, and tossed them until they cried and cried, and they didn't have the heart to think about other things.
Having said that, Emperor Zhengde is so leisurely today because he skipped work today.
As an emperor who was supposed to go to the early court with trepidation every day, he was undoubtedly unqualified.However, if you drag out his previous personality and savor it carefully, he will undoubtedly do a great job... Anyway, people still have to go to the early court.
As for why he didn't go today, it was because yesterday morning, Zhu Houzhao was chased by several people to marry his concubine, and the minister who gave birth to the heir was so angry that he hadn't been so irritable for a long time, and he got angry directly in the court.
"Since you are all in such a hurry, it is better to be alone than to be happy alone! Since Aiqing cares so much about my harem affairs, if anyone who is qualified to stand in front of Fengtian Gate has not married a wife, it will be a long time before the court. I won't go!" Emperor Zhengde left these words angrily, and left with his sleeves shaken.
The courtiers were left alone, looking at each other in blank dismay.
This, this... Isn't the emperor obviously being dishonest?The appearance of the clothes being played by himself, and the appearance of Lao Tzu not serving him, made these ministers feel absurd and nightmare. However, Zhu Houzhao's good reputation before made these ministers feel more at ease, thinking that this was just an angry talk.
Unexpectedly, Emperor Zhengde never spoke angry words at such a time.
On the second day, that is, this morning, a group of ministers who were waiting for the emperor waited depressedly for nearly an hour in the hall, and finally only waited for Jiao Shizhi with an apologetic expression.
Jiao Shizhi led people to trot in front of several cabinet scholars, and said guiltily to them: "I persuaded the emperor for a long time, but it seemed that I was really angry yesterday. The emperor is unwilling to come to the court no matter what. My lord, don't wait any longer."
Liu Jian and the others looked at each other, and Xie Qian asked, "Where is the emperor at this time?"
"The emperor was still in the Qing Palace before I came here. He should be in the Leopard Room at this time. But the adults should not go there. The emperor has ordered before he came just now that no one should disturb him except to report military secrets and important court affairs. "Although the guards in the palace were under the jurisdiction of Jiao Shizhi, the master was the emperor after all, and under Zhu Houzhao's fury, Jiao Shizhi couldn't do anything.
Hearing Jiao Shizhi's words, the faces of several adults were not very good-looking, including of course the other ministers who were listening nearby.Jiao Shizhi smiled wryly and said: "My lord, you also know the emperor's character. Yesterday...it was indeed too late. The emperor has spoken directly. If I persuade him again, let me go out of the palace and stay for a few days, so as not to be in the palace." An eyesore to him."
Of course, Emperor Zhengde would not say that to Jiao Shizhi, but Jiao Shizhi knew what the elders were thinking. They all knew that Jiao Shizhi's position next to the emperor was unusual. Maybe there was no persuasion from others, but Jiao Shizhi just Not necessarily anymore.However, Jiao Shizhi didn't want to arouse Emperor Zhengde's greater anger in this matter.
The reason why Emperor Zhengde was angry was more or less related to him, but Jiao Shizhi was the most difficult person among them.If he became the main force of persuasion, perhaps the emperor would be even more angry.
……
It is precisely because of this that after Jiao Shizhi comforted several cabinet elders, the remaining ministers could only rely on the cabinet to appease them.Afterwards, he went back to the Leopard Room non-stop, for fear that the emperor would run out of the palace to relax while he was away, if that was the case, he would have lost his leg.
Fortunately, Zhu Houzhao just let people wrestle and play in the leopard room, but after watching a few games, he got tired of it. After driving people away, he looked at the beam on the top and said: "I am much more busy on weekdays, and suddenly I became quiet." It feels awkward."
Jiao Shizhi said: "The emperor is used to being busy, why not leave tomorrow."
Emperor Zhengde raised his eyebrows, crossed his hands behind his head, and said with his legs crossed: "No, such leisure is a serious life. Every day, I know that I am staring at the harem. I'm afraid I didn't leave them an heir. I can’t understand people’s language, so yesterday I was still thinking about death in court, right? I’ll see if anyone else wants to try, let alone enter the palace to persuade them, I’ll make them unable to even enter the palace gate!”
Jiao Shizhi pursed his lips, knowing that he couldn't persuade him anymore.The emperor is just in a fit of anger right now, it would be useless to talk too much, but... thinking about the worries of the ministers, he still said: "Your majesty, the civil and military officials are worried about your harem situation, and it is for your sake. Although they did intervene There are too many, but the emperor has been on the throne for nearly five years this year, and there has never been an emperor at this age who has not married, no wonder they are worried."
Jiao Shizhi spoke very slowly and lightly, for fear that Emperor Zhengde would feel that he was also persecuting him.
Emperor Zhengde was indeed not angry. Instead, he turned over and sat on the edge. Jiao Shizhi was standing near the bed. With this movement, his face was almost leaning against Jiao Shizhi's waist, "Shizhi also wants me to marry a wife." Have a child?"
Jiao Shizhi said: "This should be decided by the emperor, our opinions are irrelevant."
"I just want to know your opinion." Emperor Zhengde said stubbornly, stretched his arms around Jiao Shizhi's waist, pressed his ears against his abdomen, and repeated, "I want to know, how did you Thought."
"I..." Jiao Shizhi just uttered a word, but quickly closed it again.
He looked at the emperor with the brim of his hat leaning on his body, with his strong arms wrapped around his waist, as if he could hear the beating of his heart clearly, "I hope the emperor can do what you like."
"Then stop trying to persuade me."
Zhu Houzhao said softly, his big hand comforted Jiao Shizhi's back for a moment, then returned to his waist, and put his arms around the thin young man, he sighed contentedly in his heart, even if he was given tens of millions of gold, he would not be able to live in such a day. How can you take the initiative to destroy it?
Of course he knew that with his current status and age, even if he didn't want to marry a queen, if there were a few servants around, there wouldn't be such a fierce remonstrance in the court yesterday.
But Emperor Zhengde was unwilling.
His father and emperor were able to be a couple for the rest of their lives, so how could it not work if it fell on him?Isn't it just that the person you like is a bit unique, so what does it matter?
Although Shizhi couldn't say anything, Emperor Zhengde didn't know why. If one day he could soften the layers of ice on the man's outside, it must be a persistent effort.If he stopped and docked on the way, Shi Zhi was afraid that he would only be happy for him, except for a little melancholy.
How does this work?
What he wants is all the emotions.
Jiao Shizhi smiled under Emperor Zhengde's patting again and again. The emperor seemed to be coaxing him like a child. It was really helpless, but very ironic.Even if I know it's not right, I will occasionally rely on it for a short time, even if I desperately think that I need to pull away, I still have the tenderness of nostalgia.
The two people in the house were warming up, when there was noise outside, Jiao Shizhi took a step back and wanted to go out to have a look, but Zhu Houzhao reluctantly brought them back, and muttered, "The crowd outside are not for nothing, What do you want to get out?"
Just as Jiao Shizhi was about to speak, the voice outside the house became louder and louder, and they could even hear Lehua's voice, "Empress Dowager, don't worry, the villain will go in and report right now, please take it easy."
"What a joke! Whenever the empress dowager wants to see the emperor, she needs to report through you? Go away, don't get in the way in front of the empress!" Another voice of reprimand rang out, and Zhu Houzhao laughed lazily, "Aunt Mo's The words are still so sharp, after so many years, the voice is still so loud."
Regardless of disrespect, Jiao Shizhi stretched out his hand to break Emperor Zhengde's arm, and said helplessly: "Your Majesty, stop making trouble. If the Empress Dowager comes in, it's not good to see this scene."
"What's wrong with this? Didn't my mother hope that I would marry someone I like soon? Wouldn't it be just right for her to see?" Zhu Houzhao was unwilling to let go. He buried his head in Jiao Shi's waist and rubbed hard a few times, smelling the coke. Appropriate body faint fragrance.Jiao Shizhi was also a pampered son, and the clothes on his body were still scented by Xiao Dezi, but the smell of the spice was not strong, so Zhu Houzhao could smell it only when he was so close An elegant fragrance like the character of Shizuoka.
Jiao Shizhi smiled wryly again and again, and managed to break the emperor's arm away skillfully, and took a few steps back, "Your Majesty, no."
His voice was soft, but with a firmness that couldn't be ignored.
Zhu Houzhao sighed, he didn't use any real force just now, otherwise Jiao Shizhi couldn't have retreated so lightly just now.
"Shizhi, what should I do with you?"
The moment before Empress Dowager Zhang came in, Emperor Zhengde's soft voice floated in the air, followed by Empress Dowager Zhang's voice, mixed with strong anger, "Your Majesty, what's going on today?"
Such a close connection was so close that Jiao Shizhi couldn't react. After seeing Queen Mother Zhang, he knelt down to salute, and then was pulled up by Zhu Houzhao on the way to Queen Mother Zhang, and pushed aside with his backhand.
"Queen Mother, why are you here?" Emperor Zhengde showed a smiling face, and sat down on the couch facing Queen Mother Zhang.As soon as Empress Dowager Zhang saw that there were only Emperor Zhengde and Jiao Shizhi in the room, her ugly face became even more ugly.She slapped the table with one hand and shouted sharply: "Emperor, why have you been messing around with this kind of people all this time? Didn't you listen to all the things I said before?"
Emperor Zhengde said slowly, "My queen, shouldn't Liu Jin and others around me be more incompetent and out of line than Shizhi? How could you be able to tolerate it at that time? Now it's rare to change to someone who is more serious and upright. Are you not happy? Do you really want Liu Jin to be around me?"
Zhu Houzhao's sharp rhetorical question made Queen Mother Zhang pause for a moment, unable to refute.Even how the servants around the prince coaxed the prince to play, at that time, Empress Zhang only had love in her eyes, and she was afraid that she would toss him a little bit.Just like what Zhu Houzhao said, why are you unhappy now that you have changed to a better candidate?
Could it be that she really hoped that the emperor would be surrounded by people like Liu Jin as the emperor said?
Empress Dowager Zhang shivered violently, the anger on her beautiful face gradually faded, and she waved her hands weakly, "Forget it, I was indeed too anxious just now. Empress Dowager, I was just worried about you. If things like that happened, if it wasn’t for your uncle coming in today and telling me that the queen mother didn’t even know that you didn’t go to court today, why didn’t you tell me when you came to see me?”
Zhu Houzhao sat down beside Empress Dowager Zhang and said with a smile: "Mother, don't worry, the matter is not as serious as Hou Ye said. I was just scaring them, and it will be fine after a few days."
"The queen mother knows that you don't like others staring at you all the time, but you are the emperor after all, and you are different from others. If you occasionally have something, let it go." Queen Mother Zhang sighed. I realized that I spoiled the emperor too much at the beginning, but now the emperor's ideas are very righteous, and I may not necessarily get his approval if I want to say something to him.
Zhu Houzhao pursed his lips and smiled, "I know, mother, don't worry."
Empress Dowager Zhang glared at him with beautiful eyes, and said angrily: "How can I not worry? You are 20 years old this year, and at your father's age, at least you married me, but look at yourself, even the one around you No one is staying, do you still want to live alone?"
Queen Mother Zhang didn't really want to force Zhu Houzhao to marry a daughter-in-law, even if it was to find a caring person. If there is someone who likes to iron posts by her side, this person will feel different in her heart.
"I don't force you to marry a very good girl. No matter how high your status is, these are not a problem. You also know my court habits, even if you are a commoner. If you like someone, others may Will stop it, won't Queen Mother help you?" Queen Mother Zhang said earnestly.
Zhu Houzhao shook his head and laughed: "Queen, don't guess. I really don't have any girls I like. Even if you force seven or eight of them to me now, I don't want any of them. Don't worry. There are people Maybe it’s because my own fate hasn’t arrived yet?”
Empress Dowager Zhang didn't notice at all that when Emperor Zhengde said this, his eyes turned slightly to the side and fell on the third person in the room.
"You are the emperor, so you still need to pay attention to fate? I'm afraid the queen mother will piss you off!" Queen Mother Zhang laughed angrily at Zhu Houzhao's words, and shook her head helplessly.
Zhu Houzhao begged for mercy and acted like a baby beside Queen Mother Zhang, and finally fooled Queen Mother Zhang.
After sending the big Buddha away, Emperor Zhengde's face immediately turned gloomy, "As long as someone from the Zhang family enters the palace, the queen mother will definitely come to see me once! It's really annoying. It's appropriate to send someone to notify the palace gate guards, don’t let them enter the palace next month.”
Jiao Shizhi said worriedly: "What if the Zhang family sues the empress dowager?"
It's not impossible either.
Zhu Houzhao snorted coldly, "If they dare to sue, next time I will imprison him for two months, and next time for three months, see who can afford to lose, anyway, it makes no difference to me."
Jiao Shizhi smiled lightly and shook his head, but finally gave orders.
……
It took an unprecedented half a month for Emperor Zhengde to stop the court. During this period, the memorials were still corrected as usual, and the officials and the cabinet were still operating as usual. During this period, the cultural relics officials included several cabinet scholars and six ministers. No one can face the emperor directly, and it is really impossible to even enter the palace gate!
Well, this is the first time they have encountered such a personality emperor.
It's not that there are no official records, the memorials of persuasion and accusation are like snow flakes flying off the desk, but before the master sees the memorials, he will order the director of ceremonies to remove them first, and those memorials that he does not want to read will be removed. It never fell into his hands at all.
The emperor's behavior was outrageous and informal. Indeed, several courtiers were so angry that they told them to return home, and Zhu Houzhao was very happy, and agreed directly with a swipe of a pen.Turning around, a few people were transferred to fill the vacancy, and the speed was unbelievable.
The cabinet is calm.
They have dealt with the emperor a lot, and they will not be as blind as they were in the early years of Zhengde.Based on their understanding of the emperor in the past few years, he must have stepped on his thunder point for resisting so much.Regarding his own affairs, Emperor Zhengde always argued with reason and did not allow others to intervene.
But the matter of Lihou is indeed imminent in their view.
The emperor is already 20 years old, not to mention having a son under his knees, but he doesn't even have the prerequisites for having a son!One must know that Emperor Hongzhi not only lived for a short period of thirty years, but they were also well prepared for fear of causing any disaster.
However, this kind of psychology really cannot be put on the bright side, it can only be reflected in the sidelines through persuasion and remonstrance.It's just that this master has a stubborn temper and is not very willing to be reminded.
In fact, if Jiao Shizhi hadn't hurriedly chased them out on the day when Emperor Zhengde started to stop, he had a few words with them, and they would have been among the people who asked to retire and return to their hometowns during this period of time.
Jiao Shizhi had something to say, which made them listen to it.
"The adults also know that the emperor's character is like this, but he is actually kind-hearted. But if we angered the emperor even more in this anger, wouldn't it make the ending worse? If the emperor made some impulsive decisions, Because the majesty of the emperor cannot be changed, wouldn’t it mean that many good ministers have been missed? Your lords should also know how important they are to the court, the country, and the emperor, so don’t do anything?”
I still remember that Li Dongyang said at that time: "Your Majesty, what can make him angry? If I hand over the booklet, I will only be like a pebble falling into the water, and I will not even see a shadow." This sentence is in the middle of a sentence. The emperor's preferences were all said.
Jiao Shizhi said with a smile: "You are wrong. At least the supervisor will not dare to stop your papers, and the emperor wants to see it. Since the emperor is unwilling to go to the court, he blocked his In connection with the ministers, you are the ones who can build a bridge between the emperor and the officials at this time. Please don't underestimate the importance of yourself and underestimate the importance of yourself in the eyes of the emperor. position in the
It was also because of Jiao Shizhi's words that they endured it for a while.Then I witnessed Emperor Zhengde's nonsense in anger.
... Well, sometimes it is good to listen more to the young juniors. At least during this period of time, the emperor had a good tone when answering their memorials, and he even cared about Elder Liu Ge's health.
But half a month is the limit, even if what Jiao Shizhi said makes sense.
After all, they are the cabinet and the elders of the cabinet. It is impossible to sit back and watch the emperor continue like this.
On July 23, when the cabinet had just drafted a memorial to be sent to the palace, there was an incident in the palace, which was temporarily covered up.
The reason is because of this half-month strike.
The distribution of memorials from the emperor needs to be approved, and not all the memorials will be read by the emperor, so the right to approve this part falls into the hands of the supervisor of ceremonies.With the development of the past dynasties, until now, since the early years of Zhengde, all the memorials will reach the hands of the emperor after passing through the supervisor of ceremonies. This is ordered by Emperor Zhengde himself.And in this process, if the emperor had a special order, the memorials about those people or things would not be delivered to them.In addition to important matters, some side matters are occasionally handed over to the supervisor of ceremonies.
The power of the supervisor of ceremonies has become stronger and stronger.
During the more than half a month's strike, a large number of memorials poured into the palace, and only a small part of them will fall on the desk of Emperor Zhengde, and it is hard to say about the rest.
Originally, the people in charge of the Ritual Supervisor were very familiar with this matter. Standing in this key central area, it was easy for them to do something small, and they never had any major incidents.
The thing happened to Jiao Shizhi.
Or that's not the case, the source is still in Emperor Zhengde.Since Liu Jin was demoted to Jiangxi by him, Jiao Shizhi replaced him and sent someone to supervise the Supervisor of Rites.His supervision is different from Liu Jin's. Liu Jin checks internally, and Jiao Shizhi externally. According to common sense, it should be impossible to understand this better than Jiao Shizhi.
However, Liu Jin is not only a supervisor, he is also a participant.For the supervisor of ceremonies, he is an "associate".
Since the "Xiuchun Disaster", Jinyiwei's people's congress has been cleaned up, and those who can stay are capable people. Since Jiao Shizhi sent someone to take charge of this matter, they will carry it out with trepidation?
What?Jin Yiwei can't go in and search the Rites at will?Who said that they need to go in and search, they just need to stay for a while during the daily patrol, quietly, someone sneaks out, how can these internal servants who don't know martial arts find out?
Who would doubt the most ubiquitous guard in the palace?
Even the servants who are also everywhere can't think of them.
As a result, certain things that have been concealed and concealed have become almost everywhere. They were exposed to the eyes of the investigators, and they were naturally known to Jiao Shizhi. The last Emperor Zhengde who knew it calmly smashed the table, and then He took people directly to the supervisor of ceremonies.
A group of people went straight to the Prison of Rituals. The speed of such a fast startled the servants who had not received the news. They had never seen the emperor come here on weekdays.
At that time, the eunuch Zhang Ying, the supervisor of ceremonies, was Li Rong.
Li Rong is also an old man who served Zhu Houzhao when he was a child, earlier than Liu Jin.But when he was eight years old, he was transferred to the Supervisor of Rituals. When he climbed to the eunuch of Bingbi, Zhu Houzhao also succeeded him. Later, he also selected Li Rong from among the eunuchs of Bingbi to become the eunuch of Zhangyin.
Later, Gao Feng and Liu Jin also came in one after another, but they were just eunuchs holding pens.
Li Rong is trusted by Zhu Houzhao, which is different from Liu Jin's trust and closer to that of a minister.If it is verified to be true this time, Emperor Zhengde will definitely not let it go easily.
Seeing the emperor coming, the people outside the supervisor of ceremonies all knelt down to salute, and trot cleverly, intending to run in to report, but Jiao Shizhi stepped forward and pulled him to castrate.
What the emperor wants to see now is naturally the most common thing.
They walked along the gallery, and before they entered, they heard a violent shouting sound from the main room. The sound was unfamiliar to Jiao Shizhi, but familiar to Emperor Zhengde.
That was Li Rong's voice.
"Are you guys blinded by dog shit? You dare not even report this kind of report. It's because you think your head is too heavy and want to change its position quickly? You want to change your position, you can't Don't fucking implicate me! If you want to die, you can die alone, why, you still want to drag someone to support you!"
Someone in the room refuted a few words in a low voice and couldn't hear clearly, then Li Rong roared again, "You're so idle! Oh no, I forgot that you don't even have eggs like me! You've given me a lot of patience, You can even say the words of collecting money and not doing things. Who told you to collect money?! Everyone does this, but I don’t see me being angry every day. Why don’t you have a long memory and commit crimes against the wind? ah!"
"Don't think I'm talking only about him, you two are the same, don't think Liu Jin can protect you when he's around, and I'll play with you to death when he's around, now that he's gone, don't fucking court death. These pressures I will sort out all the notes that come down, and then send them to the emperor, and then play tricks on me, I will give you two fucking mouths first, and then I will give you fifty sticks for nothing!"
The corners of Jiao Shizhi's eyes twitched when he heard it outside, this palm print eunuch is quite... straight and forthright.
