Ming Dynasty 1566

Chapter 152

In front of their faces, one sentence contradicted the meaning of the grandparents and grandchildren, and this sentence was so dignified that it could not be refuted.

It was King Yu who was secretly anxious. In order not to anger Jiajing, he immediately answered: "Hai Rui! You are still so self-righteous at this time! You are talking about the country of Ming Dynasty, and saying that the emperor and us are just a word 'mountain', then' Who is Jiang'? Can Jiang and Shan be separated? If you can't read well, what's the use of just using the word 'straight'!"

Hai Rui lowered his head, but still persisted and said: "Back to the lord, what I said is bluntly, the emperor, lord and son are the 'mountain' of my Daming country, and the officials and people are the 'jiang' of my Daming country. "

All his life, Jiajing liked to play games with his officials, but the answer was always in his hands. For decades, there was never a subject who did not wander around the room in the answer he set, and there was never a subject who did not follow his answer. Heart, he himself has always been able to do a job with ease in the answers he set, and he has a lot of fun.He made up his mind to enclose this Hai Rui in the answer as soon as he came today, so as to complete the last mystery that he needs to solve in his life.At this time, seeing that Hai Rui had made a good move with him, and the Qian Gua formed by "doing up and down" was just today, his heart was even more vigorous, and he was not in a hurry to refute him, but slowly looked at his son and grandson again. : "Do you think he is right?"

Of course King Yu thought he was right, but at this moment he could only lower his head slightly: "My son is stupid, so I can only ask my father to teach me."

Jiajing stopped looking at him, and only looked at Shizi: "Zhu Yijun, do you think he is right? Answer the truth."

The prince looked at Jiajing: "Grandfather, I feel that what he said seems to make sense."

"Plausible!" Jiajing immediately asserted, "Liu Yuxi has a poem that says: 'The mountain is full of red flowers, and the spring water of the Shu River beats the mountain stream. The easy decline of the bonus is the desire of the man, and the infinite flow is the worry of Nong.' You say Zhen and King Yu, The prince is the 'mountain' of the Ming Dynasty, the officials and the people are the 'river' of the Ming Dynasty, the river rushes towards the mountains, what is the relationship between the 'river' and the 'mountain'?"

Hai Rui was stunned, and after thinking for a while, he replied, "Yes. The minister's analogy is not very appropriate."

Seeing Hai Rui's answer like this, King Yu felt relieved.

Seeing what the grandpa said, the prince stopped Hai Rui and became excited, looking at Jiajing with admiration.

Jiajing: "'There are so many things in the rise and fall of the world. The endless flow of the Yangtze River.' It's up to you, after reading some high-level lectures and learning some Neo-Confucianism lectures from Qiu Jun, a native of your hometown, to talk about the world's major events and give pointers to the country. Sheji! Not only is this analogy inappropriate, but you talk about Yao, Shun, and Yutang in your memorials, Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, and Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, and you also talk about Tang Taizong, Tang Xianzong, Song Renzong, and Yuan Shizu. I ask you, Since the king is a 'mountain', among the sage kings and sages you mentioned, which mountain is still there?"

Hai Rui: "Go back to Your Majesty, here we are."

Jiajing: "Where is it?"

Hai Rui: "In the annals of history, in people's hearts."

King Yu and Shizi were shocked and held their breath.

Jiajing was not angry at all this time, and said unexpectedly: "Zhu Zaihou, Zhu Yijun, remember this sentence."

"Yes." King Yu and Shizi replied at the same time.

"The so-called Jiangshan is the name of Jiangshan, not the real Jiangshan. This is the reason why I want you to remember this sentence." Jiajing knew that the vitality supported by his medicine was being drained away bit by bit, so he seized the time , with a calm tone, "The king is not a 'mountain', and his subjects are not a 'river'. The ancients called the Yangtze River a river, the Yellow River a river, the Yangtze River is clear, the Yellow River is turbid, the Yangtze River is flowing, and the Yellow River is also flowing. The ancient proverb says' When the sage comes out, the Yellow River is clear'. But when will the Yellow River clear? The water of the Yangtze River irrigates the fields of several provinces on both sides of the river, and the water of the Yellow River also irrigates the fields of several provinces on both sides of the river. It has been muddy and obsolete, and it has been the same since ancient times. This Hai Rui didn't understand this truth. In the memorial, he asked me to use only the Yangtze River and abolish the Yellow River. Is it possible? On the contrary, once the Yellow River overflows, it needs to be treated. That's why I dismissed Yan Song, The reason for killing Yan Shifan and others. On the contrary, once the Yangtze River floods, I will also control it, which is why I depose Yang Ting and Xia Yan, and kill Yang Jisheng, Shen Lian and others."

Not only King Yu and Shizi were dumbfounded when they heard this shocking truth, Hai Rui also opened his eyes wide and fell into deep thought.

"For example, this Hai Rui." Jiajing fell to the ground, "I thought it was a clear stream, and compared Junfu to a mountain, but the water submerged the mountain. This is flooding! I know, you just want me to kill you, and then you put yourself His name is left in the annals of history and in people's hearts, but I am charged with killing Qingliu. Qingliu like this has to be killed."

King Yu and Shizi's hearts were in their throats.

Jiajing: "This dynasty rules the world with filial piety. If I don't kill you, my son will surely kill you when he succeeds. If you don't kill me, you are not filial. In order not to embarrass my son, I will let you live through this year."

King Yu's expression changed immediately, and Shizi was also shocked.

Hai Rui crouched down: "I am willing to be punished for the sake of complete holiness."

Jiajing: "Come here."

At this time, Huang Jin didn't know whether it was because he had been squatting by the stove or he had heard the thrilling conversation between the four monarchs and ministers inside. He was still sweating when he heard the summons and stood up, and opened the medicine on the stove first. The pot was placed on the ground, and the stove was covered with the stove lid, and he limped in with difficulty.

Huang Jin: "The servant is here."

Jiajing: "Ask Chen Hong, Zhu Qi, and Qi Dazhu to take this man back to imperial prison."

"Yes." Huang Jin answered with a heavy voice, turned around and walked out of the abode with a limp.

At this moment, Shizi's eyes filled with tears, and he stared blankly at Jiajing.

Jiajing was already looking at him deeply: "Zhu Yijun, do you want to say that Grandpa Huang's words don't count?"

The prince quickly wiped away his tears: "I dare not."

Jiajing: "It's good to know if you don't dare. Let me tell you, what anyone promises to you doesn't count, only what you can decide for yourself counts. Do you understand?"

At this time, how could the son understand the profound meaning of the emperor's grandfather's words, he felt wronged in his heart, and had to answer: "Respond to the emperor's grandfather's words, I understand."

"Sir, my servant Chen Hong is waiting for the decree." Chen Hong's voice came from outside the door of the Jingshe.

Jiajing: "Take me back."

"Yes." Chen Hong replied immediately, and said to Zhu Qi and Qi Dazhu who were standing beside him, "Sneak out!"

Zhu Qi and Qi Dazhu walked into the Abode slowly, looking at the ground, they took Hai Rui one by one, and walked out slowly.

At this moment, Jiajing felt that he could not hold on any longer, so he insisted: "Huang Jin, take the son to the imperial prison, and reward him with whatever he likes."

The prince had already slid down from the embroidered pier, and knelt in front of Jiajing: "Returning to the emperor's grandfather, I dare not accept the reward."

King Yu immediately answered: "Nonsense! How dare you not accept the emperor's reward. Go immediately!"

Huang Jin had already bent down and pulled up the prince: "My lord's words are true, lord, let's go." Then he turned his back and picked up the prince, and then looked at King Yu: "My lord, the master's medicine is ready. , right in the passage."

King Yu nodded.

Huang Jin then limped out of the abode with his son on his back.

Jiajing's eyes suddenly dimmed, and he looked straight at the figure of the son on Huang Jin's back, his eyes clearly showed the look of longing for the son to turn around and look at him again.

However, the prince never looked back, even when Huang Jin stepped over the threshold of the abode and turned his body sideways, he deliberately turned his head to the side outside the window.

"My grandson doesn't recognize me anymore." The words Jiajing said to himself were so bleak.

King Yu looked up in shock, but saw that Jiajing's face was already very gray, and his body that was upright just now had softened, and he was about to slide down.

King Yu stepped forward and hugged his father: "Father! Father!"

Jiajing also tightly grasped his son's back with one hand, trying not to let himself fall down: "Back, carry me on the bed... Can you carry it?"

King Yu had been weak and sickly since he was a child. At this time, his filial piety rejuvenated his strength. He supported his father's back with one hand and took his father's leg with the other to hug Jiajing. He walked to the bedside step by step, and slowly bent down. Slowly put the father down flat.

King Yu's eyes and face were filled with sweat and tears: "I will pass on Li Shizhen immediately..."

Jiajing grabbed King Yu's arm: "Don't go..."

King Yu had no choice but to stand still, seeing his father staring at him blankly, knowing that he must not leave at this time, so he first pulled out the jade hairpin on his father's crown, carefully took off his imperial hat, and then replaced him He took off his boots and pulled the thin quilt to cover him.

After Jiajing lay down, he regained his composure and looked at his son: "Kneel down."

King Yu knelt down next to the step stool next to the bed, looking closely at his father.

Jiajing: "Under the pillow, take it out."

King Yu put his hand under Jiajing's pillow, and immediately felt that it was a stack of orders wrapped in a silk cloth, and slowly took it out.

Jiajing: "Uncover it, let's look at the first one first."

With tears in his eyes, King Yu uncovered the silk cloth, and immediately revealed the first will.

——On the cover, it directly reads "Designate Chu King Zhuangtian to the common people"!
King Yu's eyes lit up.

Jiajing: "The king of Chu is dead and has no heirs. Many vassals around Hubei want his farmland. Our Zhu family really owes the people too much. I will not give them the land of the king of Chu, a total of 140 Seven thousand, 320 and six acres, all of which will be given back to the people who used to farm for the king of Chu. Tomorrow, I will ask the Ministry of Households to send people to do this, and it will be regarded as the last time I have done the master for the people.”

"Father Huang Shengming." Yu Wang cried.

Jiajing: "The second way."

King Yu wiped away his tears, took away the first decree, and revealed the second decree, and immediately burst into tears again.

——On the cover of the decree, it was impressively written "Absolution of the head of the household department, Hai Ruizhao"!
Jiajing: "Zhang Juzheng said that Hai Rui is a 'sharp weapon of the country', which is commonplace. This Hai Rui is a magic sword of my Ming Dynasty, and only the virtuous can wield it. Here it is. In the future, we will deal with those corrupt ministers and officials, or implement a new system, but this person will be invincible and invincible.”

King Yu was already crying at this time, sobbing endlessly.

Jiajing: "Don't cry, listen to me."

King Yu tried his best to keep his voice down, looking at his father tearfully.
