Unofficial History of Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty

Yang Tinghe insisted on Ding You, and Emperor Zhengde's repeated "retention" was of no avail. Yang Tinghe would leave for his ancestral home in Sichuan in three days.The bachelors, except Yang Yiqing, who stayed out of the matter, all resigned and resigned to comfort Emperor Zhengde.And after those officials who participated in the demonstration who wanted to follow the example of the cabinet handed in their resignations, Emperor Zhengde approved them all with a swipe of his pen, which made the fools who were just trying to make a gesture and continue to be officials instantly dumbfounded.

Emperor Zhengde didn't think it was enough, so he specially sent Dongchang and Jin Yiwei to the door to urge them to send a few donkeys and a tael of silver, and set off immediately.All the property and belongings left in the capital house were confiscated into the small treasury of the Leopard House.

Yan Song naturally handed in his resignation, but he was one of the few officials who really wanted to retire.

When Yan Song left, Jiang Bin watched from a distance.

Yan Song hadn't recovered yet, but he didn't want to accept Emperor Zhengde's kindness, so he lay on the horse and was led by several servants to the city gate.

Although Yan Song is hostile to Jiang Bin, Jiang Bin has no resentment towards Yan Song.After all, Yan Song's hatred for him comes more from his ideal of helping the world and assisting the king. He is a conscientious official who is only a fledgling and needs to be honed.

Jiang Bin believes that one day when he returns, he will be a man who can call the wind and rain.

Yan Song didn't notice Jiang Bin's gaze. While waiting to leave the city, he turned his head frequently, as if he was waiting for someone.Jiang Bin recalled Yan Song's expression on Yang Shen at the Yang family banquet.I always heard that Yan Song admired this mighty young man, but the other party didn't take him seriously.What's more, Yang Tinghe had to leave Beijing to worry, the Yang family is so busy now, how can they have time to take care of Yan Song, an outsider?

Yan Song stared intently for a long time, but seeing no one came, he moved his lips resignedly.

The horse carried him, and gradually went away, the sun was bleak, and the future was uncertain.

Back in the Leopard Room, Emperor Zhengde had already rested, and he seemed to be tired these days, so he went to bed early.

Jiang Bin went to practice archery for a while, then went back to his room to sleep, and when he got up at night, he saw a person sneaking out, and Jiang Bin hurriedly put on his clothes to follow.

The man covered his face with a scarf, and when he reached the door, half of his face was exposed, and the gatekeeper hurriedly opened the door.As if he was afraid of alarming anyone, he walked towards the palace gate on foot without leading the horse.

Jiang Bin followed all the way, without hesitation, he took out the badge of the commander of Jinyiwei and showed it to the guards.

The man came out of Miyagi, stopped, wiped off his sweat, looked up at the crescent moon, and continued walking.

In the end, he stopped in front of Chongwen Gate.Outside Chongwenmen is the wine road, and most of the fine wines enter Beijing to pay the wine tax. The wine tax is collected by the eighteen wineries designated by Chongwenmen. Many small winemaking workshops hang pig urine necks full of wine at night to avoid tax. Sneaking over the city wall, those who "steal wine" will be caught and punished with death, so Chongwenmen is also known as "Gate of Ghosts".

Emperor Zhengde, half covered with moonlight, walked around in front of the "Gate of Hell" for a while, and then sat down on the stone steps in front of a restaurant, with his hair lowered in a daze.

The scarlet jade ring on the thumb was dim under the moonlight.A fake is a fake after all, and it is not the same as the Yusi Nanpei he gave as a gift.

Jiang Bin still remembered the words of Yang Tinghe's "suggestion". He was just a cover-up for Emperor Zhengde to hide his strength and bide his time.

Night, like an invisible ghost, hides unknown desires and desires, and also draws out the deepest fear in the heart.

Just like this, one sat and the other stood until Dongfang revealed a touch of paleness.The whole street gradually came to life as the night was dispersed.The sweet fragrance that has not yet formed in the steamer hooks the gluttons in people's stomachs, and the bright red sun swims slowly wrapped in the morning glow, heralding another sunny day.

Finally, there was a sound of horseshoes from far to near. Jiang Bin watched the carriage stop in front of the city gate, and watched the man get off the carriage calmly and stand in front of Emperor Zhengde.

Emperor Zhengde followed the boots to his face, and the numbness that had been blown by the night wind all night gradually melted into a stiff smile.

The phoenix eyes turned all sentient beings upside down, and the indifference in their eyes seemed to strangle Zhengde's neck fiercely.Emperor Zhengde was a little out of breath, but still smiled, tugged at his collar and said, "Master came early..."

Yang Tinghe looked down at the haggard Emperor Zhengde, and said lightly: "The road is long and the sun is sunset."

The road is long and the sun is setting, and you have no intention of official career?

Emperor Zhengde let out a "grunt" in his throat, with a smile that was not a smile: "Master said in the past that King Gu was indecisive. Now, it is really teaching by example..."

Yang Tinghe showed a faint smile: "The emperor is blue, and the chess is superior, and the humble minister is very pleased."

A decree is a very popular minister, but it forces him to return home when the sword is on the verge of breaking out.But if those old accounts are brought out, they will be torn apart, and they will definitely not be able to please.

The two stood in silence for a while, until the sweet aroma of black rice lotus seed cake from the opposite street wafted in the wind.

"When I was a child, I only knew that lotus seeds were sweet. I picked the lotus pod and peeled off the green clothes, but it was hard to swallow." A gust of wind lifted a corner of his wide sleeve, "It turns out that the lotus seed also has a core, so I have to cut it open and leave it. suffered from this."

Emperor Zhengde stared blankly at the face that was close at hand, suddenly grabbed his sleeve and said viciously: "What the chief minister said is absolutely true! I was the one who insisted on swallowing the whole thing in my stomach to eat the bitter fruit! The chief minister is high-spirited, who can do that?" Get involved?"

When he was ten years old, recovering from a serious illness, Yang Tinghe personally fed him a piece of lotus seed cake, but he was maliciously sucked in his finger and refused to let go.Yang Tinghe, who was always indifferent, suddenly smiled, that smile was like the spring light reflected on the lake.I was so fascinated by it, the pastry in my mouth gradually turned into a slightly bitter sweetness, and it still stays on the tip of my tongue, craving...

This will take three years.

Hate him for letting him down, for making every step of the way, trying to figure out all the tricks, and also hating his own obsession for not getting what he asks for, but never turning back...

The crazily growing poisonous vines will be uprooted overnight, but the heart is riddled with holes, but blood oozes non-stop...

Between the five fingers, the folds of the clothes are gathered like frowning eyebrows.The slightly panting gaffe, in his eyes, was still calm.

The gate of the city slowly opened, but the two doors above my heart drew together with a dull sound, until the last gleam of light from the gap disappeared into the gradually closing despair... I lowered my hand, watching his back from the thick From light to light, from agile to solidified.

At the beginning, how did you not know the pain?

What I want to force is not consummation, but the injustice of being buried in one place even if everything is burned...

Jiang Bin went back to the leopard room alone, lying on the couch, Ren Wangwei licked his palms to ask for trouble.After a while, there was a shadow in front of me, and when I opened my eyes, I saw the courtier waiting in a proper manner: "The governor ordered me to tell Mr. Jiang that six years ago, the imperial doctor Wu had treated the spleen and stomach for Yang Chun, the father of the chief assistant. Shen fell into the water and burned the root of the disease, lingering on the bed, and died recently..."

Jiang Bin stood up wearily, and greeted Lu Qing to take the silver and the officer: "Thank the factory master for me."

Zhang Rui's news came just in time, but it's a pity that hearing it at this time is tantamount to adding insult to injury.He had also guessed that this was no coincidence.Knowing the whole story, I am even more upset.Physician Wu is a good method, and the timing is just right.

Emperor Zhengde came back at noon, as always, with a bit of a ruffian looking for flowers and willows.The next day, Yang Yiqing was ordered to serve as the chief assistant of the cabinet. Yang Yiqing immediately pleaded for leave and returned to his hometown on the grounds that he was ill.The remaining members of the cabinet were still "deserving crimes and making meritorious service". Emperor Zhengde issued two decrees in succession, ordering Sun Zhen to be the commander of the Datong Central Guard, and Zhang Xing to be the commander of the Datong Guard. The cabinet did not dare to speak out.

When the court was in an uproar, Wang Qiong, Minister of the Ministry of War, wrote again to ask for the rectification of the nine sides.The attitude of the cabinet votes was ambiguous, and Emperor Zhengde swiped his Zhubi—accurate.

After thinking for a while, I added another one-named "Zhu Shou" as the governor-general of military affairs, the mighty general, and the commander-in-chief of the army, and he was named "Zhen Guogong".
