Xian Sun of the Ning Mansion of the Red Chamber

Chapter 36 The Emperor's Decent

Emperor Jiade, who had just finished the morning court, seemed to be in a good mood, and at the end of the court meeting, he actually showed a rare smile.When he was satisfied for a while, it was inevitable that he would get carried away, and actually asked Fu Donglai to stay when all the officials hadn't retired from duty.

Although it has long been an open secret that the monarch and his ministers must have a meeting after the daily court meeting, it is just that in the past Emperor Jiade would take into account the face of the two cabinet ministers. You didn't keep the chief assistant and the second assistant, but you only left a new cabinet minister, what do you mean?
It wasn't until Fu Donglai secretly gave Jiade a wink that Jiade realized that he had just lost his composure, but the holy words, should he take it back?

He snorted coldly in his heart and said: "Hmph, I have been in Yuji for four years, and I have to worry about who is left to talk. It's time for them to wake up. Do you really think that I can't be bullied because of my weakness?"

Emperor Jiade wanted to show off his might, but Fu Donglai was tired.

Originally, he didn't want to go to war with the two cabinet assistants so soon. His suggestion to Jiade was to continue to endure for a year or two. The grandson of more than 30 years has pretended to be, and he doesn't care about the time of one or two years.

Jia De was able to break out of the siege among the many princes of the former emperor, and he should have such a state of mind.

If he hadn't been able to, he didn't want to leave a reputation as a lucky minister and a sycophantic minister in the history!

It's just that Fu Donglai didn't expect how terrible power can change a person.

Emperor Jiade doesn't want to wait any longer!
His father's lifespan was too long, he killed his elder brother, his second brother, and his father.
When it was his turn, he was both happy and scared. The happy thing was that he never dared to think that this seat would be his turn. Even if he had thought about it, he stifled it.What I'm afraid of is whether he will follow in his footsteps.

Thus, the once high-spirited and jealous Emperor Baye began to change, became timid, submissive, and could not even be trusted by his pillow!
From the age of 30 to now he is in his forties, for a full 14 years, he has been pretending for 14 years.
How many 14 years can there be in life!He doesn't want to wait any longer!
He was glad that he didn't choose the wrong person, and he also admired his father's vision. Feng Hengshi is indeed a hard rock, and the Huguang officialdom that cannot be splashed by water just made him tear a hole, and he continued Feng Hengshi's memorial. At that moment, he felt that the opportunity had come.

So he called Fu Donglai into the palace overnight to discuss, but what he didn't expect was that this confidant minister who he regarded as the person who carried out the reform of the New Deal was the first to jump out to oppose him. He had some feelings for Fu Donglai. Disappointed.

But Fu Donglai's objection can't change his mind, he is the emperor, the lord of ten thousand chariots!
So Emperor Jiade showed his sharp dragon claws for the first time this morning, and the iron-like facts were in front of them. I can plead guilty in fear!

This is the first time for Jiade to really feel the power in his hands, and the treatment that everyone is shocked by.

The court was gone, and he couldn't wait to leave Fu Donglai's business affairs behind. Of course, he also wanted to save the face of this Duke Donglai, and beat him so that he wouldn't think that he couldn't do anything except rely on him. up!
Feng Hengshi is no worse than him!
After the officials left, Jiade and Fu Donglai also transferred from Fengtian Hall to the Imperial Study.

I don't know when, Emperor Jiade no longer allowed other eunuchs and maids in the palace to enter and leave the imperial study room, except for him who usually received courtiers here, only his companion Dai Quan and a master attendant could enter and leave at will.

In the imperial study room, in the inner wing room, Jia De sat down on the low stool on the slump, Fu Donglai stood by and bowed to the side, and Dai Quan, the inner minister, waited with the imperial attendant in the outer hall.

"Fuchen, what do you think of today's court meeting?"

Fu Donglai slightly raised his head to look at Jia De who was full of joy, but he guessed why he left him behind, and couldn't help but sigh.

It's just that there are some words, as a courtier, what should be said or what should be said!
Fu Donglai's complexion was calm, and he said quietly: "I don't know what His Majesty is referring to?"

Seeing Fu Donglai pretending to be confused, Jiade smiled coldly in his heart, and said, "Didn't Aiqing see that Li Endi and Xu Zhemu finally bowed their heads to me and admitted their mistake at the court meeting today?"

Fu Donglai replied: "I saw it, I saw it clearly, I congratulate Your Majesty!"

"Then Aiqing has nothing to say?" Emperor Jiade waited impatiently.

Fu Donglai smiled bitterly and said, "What do you want your majesty to say? You said that when your majesty was shocked, Li and Xu bowed their heads? Then they still occupy the position of cabinet assistant? Or does it mean that your majesty has already thought of a countermeasure and can you?" Let them stop obstructing the New Deal?"

Speaking of this, Fu Donglai was a little emotional, and said: "What I saw was only the situation that Feng Hengshi worked hard in Huguang to open up, and now it's just in exchange for your majesty's dignity! With these alone, I can't ask the two ministers about it." Auxiliary crimes, compared with the New Deal, there is no substantive progress!"

Fu Donglai only used the word "decent", which was already taking care of Emperor Jiade's face. To put it bluntly, it was just vanity.

Not only did Jiade not get the compliment he wanted, but he was also reprimanded by his courtiers, his face turned pale for a while, as if his anger could no longer be contained.

Pointing at Fu Donglai with a trembling finger, he shouted, "Presumptuous! You, Fu Shi."

Fu Donglai raised his head and looked up, without any fear!

"If Your Majesty wants to punish the crime of the minister, the minister will accept the crime!"

"Dai Quan!" Jiade no longer looked at Fu Donglai, but shouted out of the hall.

Dai Quan bowed his body and walked in quickly, but he didn't make the slightest sound of footsteps on the ground.

"Your Majesty! Calm down, Your Majesty! Don't let the dragon's body get mad!" Dai Quan went straight to Jia De's side to push him back.

Jiade, who was in a rage, pointed at Fu Donglai, but for a long time he didn't say the sentence of punishing him. He sighed and said to Dai Quan: "Go down and come for the concubine Yuan!"

Dai Quan complained in his heart, but he didn't show it. When he got out of the inner room, he only whispered to Yuan Chunjiao: "Well, come in and serve me, don't talk too much!"

Yuan Chunfu bowed respectfully and said, "Thank you, Eunuch, for your suggestion!"

Dai Quan nodded with a smile and said: "You are good, and our family is willing to say a few more words with you. Everything is to serve His Majesty well. Go!"

Yuan Chun entered the inner room, stood beside Jia De without looking sideways at Wen Jing, and beat his back and shoulders for him.

Jiade's mood gradually calmed down, and he began to reflect on today's gains and losses. Only then did he realize that he had acted too hastily, as Fu Donglai said, but he didn't get any benefits from a big hole card. He regretted in his heart, but he couldn't admit his mistake.

He just said coldly: "Since you expected this to happen, why didn't you remind me last night, just let them see my jokes! Hmph!"

Fu Donglai felt bitter in his heart, didn't he say little last night?Can it change your resolve?

Fu Donglai could only bow his head in silence, allowing Jiade to vent his anger.

But at this time, only hearing someone's announcement from outside the hall, Dai Quan stepped away for a while, and then came back to report: "Your Majesty, the guard of Chongwen Gate has entered the palace to seek an audience!"

"Let him wait, I don't have time right now!" Jia De was impatient, what a big deal a gatekeeper could have.

Dai Quan hesitated and said, "Your Majesty, it's about King Suzhong!"

Hearing that it was his own nephew, Jia De asked, "What is he making a fuss about? He can't live in peace for a few days! Tell me!"

Dai Quan said: "It is said that the king of Suzhong County and a Yunnan scholar had an appointment for martial arts at the Chongwenmen school grounds, and he also went to many scholars from various places, among which the Yunnan scholar and the Jiangxi scholar even had a conflict! "
