Xiangye

Chapter 207 Zhu Qiyu ([-])
Although the two eunuchs were respectful, but judging by their posture, they refused to let Wu Yin in.

Wu Yin was immediately annoyed, and said with a sneer, "There is no war or rebellion in Shaanxi, if there is something important, get out of the way!"

Both of them cupped their hands and begged at the same time: "Eunuch Wu, I'm really sorry, Eunuch Shen said that no one can enter without a will."

It's good for them not to look down on Shen Gui, but it's even more furious when Wu Yin is mentioned.Shen Gui is the old man of the emperor, and he is the newly promoted brand of office.On weekdays, Shen Gui was fine, and none of his subordinates took Wu Yin seriously.

He was vaguely on guard, after all, Wu Yin was already the Chief Bingbi, the second person in the palace, he had already blocked the way for Shen Gui's subordinates to advance.

He giggled and said, "You are afraid of Eunuch Shen, aren't you afraid of our family?"

The complexions of the two eunuchs changed at the same time, turning pale.

At this moment, the door of the main hall opened, and a gray-haired eunuch came out, shouting: "What are you doing, what's wrong with you, and you don't even look at where this is?"

The person who came out was the eunuch Shen Gui, who was in charge of the chief inspector of ceremonies, and when he saw Wu Yin, he immediately calmed down: "So it's you, what's the matter?"

Wu Yin: "I met Eunuch Shen, so..."

Not only did he finish speaking, but Shen Gui waved his hand: "Since you're here, let's go into the hall and talk. Lord Long Live just heard you and told me to come out and have a look."

"Yes, Eunuch Shen." Wu Yin was overjoyed, and hurriedly followed in.

The door of the main hall was closed, it was dark inside, and there were no lights.

Suddenly, there was a heat wave, and a layer of hairy sweat appeared on his body.

Emperor Jingtai was weak and couldn't see the wind. On a hot day, the doors and windows were closed.Tall trees cannot be planted in the Forbidden City. After being exposed to the sun for a day, at night, the heat radiated out, and the entire hall was as hot as a steamer, even though the space here is huge.

Wu Yin stood next to Shen Gui, looked up, and saw a huge Xu Maitreya seat in the center of the house, and the cranes under the seat were exhaling thin smoke from their beaks, with a strange fragrance.

Behind the Xumizuo is a huge screen with hundreds of characters written in thin gold script, "The way of the university lies in Ming Mingde, in being close to the people, in stopping at the ultimate good. Knowing the end and then having steadfastness, and then being able to Be quiet, be quiet and then be at ease, be at ease and then be able to worry, and then be able to gain after worrying..."

It is a piece of "University", the meaning of the opening paragraph is that the purpose of the university is to promote the moral character of being upright and upright, and to make the people abandon the old and embrace the new.

Wu Yin had also been here before, but he didn't pay attention during the day.At this moment, when I saw the words on the screen, my heart suddenly moved slightly.

That's right, our Long Live Lord has a bad country, and he attaches the most importance to the character and morality of his ministers and workers, which is why we have the words "Mingmingde".I am afraid that the most important point of this passage is to make the people abandon the old and look for the new, right?

Thinking of this, Wu Yin was suddenly startled: it is disrespectful for a minister to try to figure out the holy will!

In the groggy darkness, Wu Yin saw a young man with a pale face sitting on the Sumeru Throne.He was born with a huge skeleton, and his brows are full of majesty.This person is the current head of the Ming Dynasty, Jingtai Emperor Zhu Qiyu.

I remember that the last time I saw the emperor was ten days ago, at that time he seemed very energetic.It's only been a ten-year absence, and the emperor is already so outstanding, he has lost a lot of weight, and his eyes are sunken.

It was a hot day, and the emperor was still wearing a thick cotton robe, his face was covered with sweat, and there was a pillow on his stomach.

Seeing this situation, Wu Yin knew that the emperor suffered from diarrhea again.

Jingtai Emperor Zhu Qiyu's illness is also strange, his stomach is simply very weak.If you eat raw or cold food, you will have diarrhea, if you eat too much greasy food, you will have diarrhea, and if you are exposed to cold, you will also have diarrhea.Later, he became even more angry and anxious, and also had diarrhea.

The imperial doctor took the pulse and said that His Majesty has no illnesses, but his body is weak and he can only recuperate slowly, and there is no need to take medicine, just pay attention to daily life.

Therefore, his diet is extremely light, and he dare not touch seasonal melons and fruits. He always puts a small pillow on his stomach on weekdays, and the doors and windows are also tightly blocked.

Today, Emperor Jingtai's complexion is so bad, and he doesn't know whether it's because he ate something wrong, or because he's depressed. I think the latter has more to do with it.

This can be seen from the expression of Yu Qianyu Shangshu standing in the temple.

Different from the emperor's rudeness, Yu Qian seemed very energetic. When he spoke, his voice aroused echoes: "The autumn grain will be put into the warehouse soon, and the taxes of all provinces should also be paid into the national treasury. It has already been reported, and Chen Gelao, Wanggelao and others in the cabinet have also notified the ministers. The ministers are not members of the cabinet, and it is not easy to enter the cabinet for verification. However, the Chinese New Year will be a few months away. Years ago, all ministries must Report the expenses for next year. I don’t know much about the affairs of other ministries. As far as the Ministry of War is concerned, the shortage is huge, and the Ministry of Households has no way to calculate it. Even if the comprehensive calculation is submitted and submitted, the cabinet will not be able to draft a vote. Even if the ticket is drafted, it is difficult for His Majesty to cook without rice, so how can he approve it?"

This was discussing the financial budget of the imperial court next year, Wu Yin felt strange: Didn't the two eunuchs outside say something happened in Shaanxi, how did it involve the imperial court's expenses next year?Moreover, this matter was supposed to be discussed by the cabinet. Why did Long Live Lord only wear Yu Shangshu... By the way, His Majesty only trusts Yu Qiang, and he is inevitably somewhat wary of other ministers.This Yu Shangshu is really Jane in the heart of the emperor. Not only did he lead the military department, but he also had a hand in the entire government.It's really enviable for Renchen to do this!

Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu held a memorial in his hand, frowning and looking at it repeatedly, but did not speak.

"Yu Shangshu's words are wrong. During the battle of the civil fort and the battle of guarding the capital, the court was so difficult. Relying on the heavenly virtue of the Long Live God and the honesty of the ministers, we went to the national calamity together. The most difficult days have passed." Seeing that the emperor was silent, Shen Gui took a step forward and said unhurriedly: "At the beginning, the Supreme Emperor was imprisoned, the capital was besieged, the court was in chaos, and the people were shocked three times a day. To be honest, I don't know how I got here. Your majesty has enough food and clothes, and everyone should die to repay the favor of the king. Now, the state affairs are finally on the right track, and the people's minds are settled. The so-called movement is better than silence. At this time, I am afraid that someone will attack you with ulterior motives. The imperial court. Some things are years of bad governance. It’s not impossible to change, it’s not impossible to ask. But how to change and how to pursue responsibility needs to be carefully considered. Yu Butang is an upright gentleman, but he can’t help doing things. We can take advantage of this opportunity. As courtiers, we need to be considerate of Long Live, as long as we wait and act with sincerity, our Ming Dynasty will still be in full swing!"

Listening to the meaning of his words, it seemed that he was setting the tone for this confrontation and discussion between the monarch and his ministers, and the words were extremely serious.

Immediately, Wu Yin's heart trembled, and he listened attentively.

Suddenly, Yu Qian burst out laughing: "It's a joke, shameful!"

Shen Gui shook his head: "Yu Butang, please don't be rude before your Majesty drives. It doesn't matter if you scold me, and don't target Long Live Lord."

Yu Qian shouted: "You put it simply, the horse administration in Shaanxi is corrupt, no, the horse administration in the entire Ming Dynasty has completely become a means for greedy people to enrich their own pockets. In the past ten years, not only officials large and small in Shaanxi, but also several officials in the north No one can tell how much money the imperial government subsidized in the horse-producing land. Not only Shaanxi officials, but also officials in Shanxi and Northern Zhili are involved, and Taipu Temple is also involved. It's a joke to ask the old man to stay still rather than move. I don't know what your position is, and why do you want to speak for those thieves?"

"Isn't it just that you are not afraid that the involvement is too great, and if you really investigate thoroughly, you are afraid that the court situation will be chaotic?" Yu Qian sneered: "To be honest, the chaotic ones are thieves, and the chaotic ones are treacherous villains. Why should we be afraid of them? Letting it go lightly, how can the people of the world be convinced?"

Shen Gui still had the same calm expression: "Yu Butang, Your Majesty has been on the throne for less than a year. The country cannot be in chaos, and the court cannot be in chaos! In my opinion, it is enough to pursue Gao Linghan alone. If we continue to investigate, when will it be the end. You don’t know the ministerial hall, when the people below start to do things, once the court has orders to go on, they dare to expand to the sky for bigger things. Then they threaten the court and delay the court’s important affairs, do you know that this is What consequences?"

Yu Qian has always been upright, and his voice is even louder.But he didn't retreat one step: "What is the consequence? It's nothing more than dismissal. Otherwise, you can't just watch those thieves ruin the court atmosphere. If the central government is full of such greedy people, what will be the consequences in the end? The old man agrees. Shame on such thieves to be officials in the same dynasty! We must deal with it strictly and investigate thoroughly!"

Shen Gui was finally irritated by Yu Qian: "You..."

Just as he was about to say something, Emperor Jingtai on the Xumi seat suddenly groaned in a low voice, covered his lower abdomen with his hands, and bent over.But seeing that his face has been twisted into a ball, and his lips have turned white, it is obvious that he is in severe pain.

How can this opportunity to serve the emperor be missed? Wu Yin hurriedly walked up, twisted a towel from the washbasin next to him, and carefully wiped the sweat on his forehead: "Long live Lord, don't be angry, take care The body of the dragon is important. If there is something wrong with you, tell the slaves to wait... how can you bear it in your heart..." As he spoke, he even choked with sobs.

Seeing that the emperor's dragon body was unstable, Yu Qian and Shen Gui shut up.

"I...it's fine, it doesn't matter." Emperor Jingtai looked at the two people below, "Why stop, continue, today I want to hear your arguments clearly. In the world, I am afraid of the word "truth."

Wu Yin wiped away his tears, and asked in a low voice: "Long live Lord, please go and make it easier. All the affairs of the world are in your heart. The so-called sacred candlelight, I think the emperor has already decided in his heart."

"No need, I've recovered." Emperor Jingtai let out a long sigh and shook his head: "I put everything in my heart, but I'm deceiving. Such a big incident happened in Shaanxi, and I really don't like it." Never thought of that." Then he pointed to the paperwork on the imperial case and motioned Wu Yin to read it.
