Chapter 169 The First Wanderer of the Ming Dynasty

"I have had it, so I'd better exchange my passion for the bright world of the Ming Dynasty!" It's endless, who is afraid of whom? Zhengde's anger has not been exhausted. He continued to recall the words of the censors just now.

"Your Majesty has no faults. Your Majesty is the Sage Emperor, so why is there any fault?" Grand Secretary Liu began to sweat on his forehead. This man was going to fight back to the end.

"I am not wise, I can't even understand a case of greed for military pay..." After finally letting these old men surrender, Zhengde decided to chase the remaining brave men and fight a complete turnaround.

"Since Your Majesty has made a conclusion, this matter will be based on what Your Majesty examines." Grand Secretary Liu did not care about discussing with the Minister of Justice and the Minister of the Dali Temple, and responded directly. The most important thing now is to appease the emperor, and the procedural rules and other things have to put it aside first.

"That patrolman Chen Fei..." Zhengde looked at the sky with his eyes.

"Chen Fei, as the inspector, knew that the law was violated and greedy for military pay was a shame for the scholars, and he deserved to die!" Grand Secretary Liu robbed the land with his head.

"I didn't inform the Grand Secretary, so I ran to Xuanfu..." Zhengde shook his head and sighed, repenting.

"...Your Majesty is worried about the people, so patrolling the border is a blessing for my Ming Dynasty." Grand Secretary Liu couldn't hold on anymore and turned to signal Xie Qian. So Grand Secretary Xie gritted his teeth and said this against his conscience.

"I have falsely reported my military achievements, and my head has not been able to match the Ministry of War..." Zhengde was not afraid of Xie Qian, who was most afraid of in the past, and continued to reflect on himself.

"...Your Majesty built the head of the Tartars into a Jingguan. This is a move to promote the power of our Ming army, comfort the heroic spirits of the Ming martyrs, and comfort the wronged souls of the dead soldiers and civilians. Besides, the emperor's words are golden, so why should the Ministry of War be able to be united?" Xie Qian is worthy of the title of "You Kankan". After changing Liu's stubborn words, he finally looks like he is coaxing people.

"That's how all three Grand Secretarys said that. It seems that I did nothing wrong?" Zhengde nodded, obviously very satisfied with Grand Secretary Xie's praise.

"Your Majesty is wise..." Grand Secretary Xie was powerless. He was a gentleman and could not say too many words against his will, so he had to use this omnipotent word to perfunctory. However, he also breathed a sigh of relief, saying that you are right, you should put down your sword, right?

"Then can I ride a horse in the future?" Of course, the matter is not over yet...

As a former educator, Grand Secretary Xie was obviously unqualified. He didn't know his students thoroughly. As a result, he relaxed too early. After hearing Zhengde's words, he felt his blood surging and wanted to faint. He had to wave to Li Dongyang with weak energy and signal to change people.

"If it is not too frequent, it is not impossible to discuss..." Li Dongyang became much more sleek, and his words were full of ambiguous words.

"Then you can eat whatever you want?" The greater the oppression, the stronger the rebound. Zhengde's current behavior is verified by this truth. He is unyielding and indomitable, like a censor.

"If there are not too many, it's not impossible to consider..." Lao Shutou has obviously practiced Tai Chi, and he can practice one-style cloud hand with great abilities. He can push if he can push, and if he can remove it.

"Then I..."

"if……"

Zhengde pressed step by step, trying to turn over completely, but Li Dongyang was lukewarm and firmly controlled the situation and did not sign any unequal treaties. Even Zhengde's aura was worn away by him. The originally extremely nervous situation gradually eased.

"Then I..." Zhengde wanted to say something else, but found that there was nothing to say. He said everything he should say, and Grand Secretary Li agreed, but he just didn't agree to anything, so he was depressed.

"Your Majesty has been away from the capital for more than a month. The Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager are also reluctant to eat and miss you. You miss you so much. What should you do if you want to go back to the palace first? You can make plans for other matters in the long run."

Li Dongyang first consumed Zhengde's spirit and sacrificed the empress dowager, and saw Zhengde start to shake. All officials were amazed in their hearts. Grand Secretary Li was indeed resourceful, and this unprecedented crisis was resolved by him. It was indeed amazing.

In fact, it is not that Li Dongyang's wisdom is better than Liu Jian and Xie Qian, but those two people have always regarded Zhengde as the emperor, and they are the emperors they can teach a lesson. The emotions of both sides are naturally opposite. No matter who overwhelms who, the one who is overwhelmed will not feel happy.

Li Dongyang regarded Zhengde as a child. Isn’t the best way to deal with children to deceive and coax them? The reason why he didn’t agree directly was that he didn’t want to leave a message for others, otherwise he would agree as much as possible. So what if he agreed? Looking back, it’s not like the future.

Because Empress Dowager Zhang is more strict, Zhengde actually has a closer relationship with Hongzhi, but this is just a child's fear of strict parents, but it is not considered alienation.

Zhengde is actually a filial child. After hearing Li Dongyang's words, he also had longing for his mother and grandmother, but he was still unwilling to accept it. He even took out all the secret weapons, so he finally gained the upper hand, but he didn't get any results. Isn't this a waste of trouble?

After thinking about it, he decided to get something. The elder brother said that he would have to get rewards for doing things. So Zhengde pointed at Xie Hong and said firmly: "This is Xie Hong and Xie Aiqing, who is very talented, so I decided to use him more! If this is the case, Xie Aiqing is good at craftsmanship, so he can be a minister in the Ministry of Works."

Li Dongyang gasped, and Xie Qian and Liu Jian's hearts that had fallen back into their stomachs were raised again;

The courtiers also looked at Zhengde in disbelief, and then looked at Xie Hong in the direction of his finger, as if they wanted to see what kind of monster Xie Hong was;

Even the censors who were dejected could not help but raise their heads and open their mouths wide. If the sword had not pointed at Zhengde's chest, they would have stood up and roared.

Minister?

Just because he is a scholar who doesn't even have the fame of a Juren? He is also a scholar who doesn't study and goes astray and specializes in fiddling with some strange and lewd skills. Moreover, this man is still a jester who only knows how to please him. How could he be the minister in the court and be at the position of minister? Even if the minister of the Ministry of Works has the lowest status among the six ministries, it is not something that a jester can touch.

The censors had just suffered a heavy blow and did not dare to speak out, but Grand Secretary Liu was anxious and said loudly: "Your Majesty, you must not!"

The other cabinet ministers and the nine ministers also knelt down together and agreed. The Minister of Personnel Ma Wensheng said anxiously: "Emperor, the court has its own laws to be promoted. How can it be so rash? Besides, Xie Hong has no fame and no virtue and qualifications, how can he be promoted to the position of Minister of the State Council? Please think twice and take back the fate."

Zhengde frowned and said, "What if he had fame? If this is the case, wouldn't I give Xie Hong a Jinshi?"

He was not a fantasy, but the emperor had the power to give fame and fortune, but the imperial gifts may not be good. No one can respect such fame and fortune in the sect and court. Not to mention the imperial gifts, even if he participated in the imperial examination, as long as he was not a Jinshi, he would still be a dwarf.

What's more, even if you pass the Jinshi, you will not have the reason to be promoted from Bai Ding to the six ministers at once! Well, it's not Bai Ding, but the Jinyiwei Qianhu, so it's not as good as Bai Ding.

This time, with the Grand Secretary and the Six Ministers taking the lead, the court officials became turbulent again. Although Zhengde still held the sword, the court's constitution was more important. Even if there was a case, it would be Grand Secretary Liu taking the lead, right? Besides, the emperor was thinking about granting officials to the jesters around him. It was obvious that the impulse had passed, so what else should I be afraid of?

The crowd raised objections and each had its own words. Zhang Sheng, the Minister of Rites, even cried loudly, saying that he was ashamed of the late emperor's entrustment. Today, the court etiquette collapsed and the emperor gave him favors. His crying inspired many people. We can't beat the emperor if we commit suicide, but we can cry. Crying alone is nothing, we can cry together.

So cries, shouts, and all kinds of persuasions rose loudly, and the suburbs of Beijing became noisy again.

When Zhengde was making trouble, Xie Hong wanted to calm down the situation and just watched coldly. He knew in his heart that it was okay to scare people with Zhengde, but in fact it was not lethal. So when he saw that the situation had an opportunity to resolve it, he was happy to see it happen.

Who would have thought that Zhengde had made trouble again? Xie Hong didn't know what the minister's position was. He also understood and was grateful to Zhengde for his intentions. But now is not the time to mention these things. Once it gets a big deal, when the civil servants get into the state, they might re-report the old things or other situations.

Xie Hong didn't care about being noticed, so he hurriedly gave Zhengde another wink, trying to signal him to settle things.

A philosopher once said that fate and tacit understanding are all over the world, illusory and cannot be true. It is a philosopher Xie Hong who doesn't remember it, but he immediately realized the correctness of this sentence.

Zhengde looked back at Xie Hong with great determination, and then said to the officials loudly: "You all don't respect me at all. It's meaningless to live. Alas, let me keep my loyalty and shine in history!"

His words were inexplicably said, making people unable to touch their minds, but his actions were shocking. He raised his arm slightly, then stabbed down hard without hesitation! A flash of cold light, and the sword in his hand had pierced into his chest until the last handle...

Oh my God, the emperor really committed suicide!

Liu Jian's eyes turned dark, his body shook, and he fell softly. He looked up at the sky, feeling confused... He was the leader, had the highest status, and shouted loudly.

Ma Wensheng had just finished talking about the official system of the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and was lying on the ground and knocking, just about to talk about the Sui and Tang Dynasties. As a result, he naturally couldn't say anything, and his head was knocked heavily on the ground, hitting a stone, and his forehead immediately swollen. He felt no pain at all, looking down at the thick soil, and only one voice in his heart: It's not my fault...

As the Secretary of State, Zhang Sheng was much more calm than his colleagues. He did whatever he should do. Anyway, he was crying. But now he was crying more and more loudly: I cried to death by the emperor? It was too unreasonable, and there was something wrong with crying. When the late emperor was there, I often cried and advised him, which was once very effective...

Wang Yushi had fainted once, and was just awakened, but when he looked up, he saw such a scene. Wang Yushi did not say anything, closed his eyes and fainted again, with only the last thought in his mind: It turns out that saints can also lie. They said that speaking out can leave a reputation for eternity, but I have committed it twice, why is the fate of this more miserable time?

The initiator Su Yushi's eyes were full of despair. The knife in his hand had already fallen to the ground. However, he wanted to pick up the dagger and break himself, but his whole body was trembling, and his hands were trembling but he couldn't use his strength. Not to mention committing suicide, he couldn't even pick up the knife.

All the original ambitions have dissipated with the wind, and only the only thing that has left Su Jingshi is full of sadness...

He looked back sadly, wanting to get something from his teacher, Lord Zhang, but wherever he looked, including his teacher, everyone was in a hurry to avoid it, as if he was a plague god. The one who made the emperor angry was the Grand Secretary, but the one who made the emperor show his sword was Su. Who dared to have any connection with him? Do you want your life? It will kill people!

The parties involved have their own sorrows. The onlookers also stared at the figure under Huang Luo's umbrella, feeling regretful and sad. The emperor passed away? What should I do in the Ming Dynasty? What should I do in the world? When I watch in the future, we will never make a fuss again.

But not everyone was dazed. Liu Jin, Gu Dayong and other close servants and imperial doctors in the Imperial Hospital all reacted quickly and ran towards Zhengde with the hope of winning back the emperor's life.

The more they got ahead, the greater the hope. They stabbed in for a long time and the emperor had not yet fallen, which means that the emperor's vitality is still very strong and there is hope.

The first thing to find the problem was Gu Dayong and Liu Jin. They were closest to each other, and they rushed to Li Ji. While supporting Zhengde, they looked at the wound, but were shocked to find that there was no blood around the wound. Moreover, the sword that was originally very long was pierced without a handle, but from behind the emperor, they could not see the tip of the sword...

They were stunned and the imperial doctor came up. The professionals' eyes were even older. They could tell at a glance that the wound was not bloodless. There was no wound at all. Is there no wound healing? Not to mention the wound, it was obviously not even torn clothes, it was fake!

"Hahaha……"

Li and the superior were inexplicably surprised, Li and the subordinates were full of sorrow. At this moment, Zhengde, who should have died, burst into laughter.

So, Li and the people below began to be surprised, Li and the people above were even more surprised. Zhengde then said proudly: "Thank you all for your hard work. I am afraid that everyone will work too hard, so I will make a joke with you, isn't it fun? Next time I think of something more interesting, let's come again. Today I'm tired, so I'll come here. Well, I'll go back to the palace."

While talking, he was fiddling with the sword in his hand, constantly changing from short to long, from long to short, stretching and shrinking, and changing a lot.

"Shh..."

Except for those who had fainted, 100,000 people let out a long breath at the same time. In addition to the relief, everyone cursed in their hearts: "Is there anyone like this joking? It's interesting, it's not interesting at all, okay? Who wants to come with you again? Please spare us! Who did the evil? He made such a sword like it was really the same and returned to the emperor. This person is so bad, so bad that he is so bad."

People who are so bad that they are actually very depressed. Xie Hong felt that his eyes were obviously asking Zhengde to enter the city as soon as possible, so why did this happen in this situation? The thing about Taki is indeed unreliable.

"Your Majesty, what I meant just now was that we should avoid trouble and enter the city quickly, why are you..." Xie Hong couldn't help asking.

"Yes, isn't this very fast?" Zhengde pointed ahead innocently.

"Uh..." As a result, Zhengde was frightened by this, and the court officials were all shocked. Zhengde ordered the order to return to the palace, but no one continued to stop him.

"Besides, this is what you taught me by Brother," Zhengde continued.

"How could I teach you this?" Xie Hong widened his eyes. He clearly wanted to be low-key and quietly entered the city. He didn't want to be promoted. He is a good person.

"Why did you say it when you gave me the sword?" Zhengde flashed his big eyes and looked reminiscent.

Xie Hong was a little confused, “Ah?”

"Brother, didn't you say that this sword is used to scare people? And the key to military tactics is to surprise..."

Xie Hong burst into tears. He said this, "But the problem is, these two sentences were not said together, right?" Is anyone more unfair than me?

"Well..." Zhengde's eyes turned, "That's what it means anyway." Then he gestured with the sword twice, and said complacently: "I scared so many people at one time, so this is enough to make the best use of things, haha."

Xie Hong was speechless.

While the emperor was driving into the city, the court officials still maintained their original posture, just like wood carvings.

Suddenly, a man suddenly stood up and shouted: "By the way, it's him, it's him!"

The confused eyes slowly moved over and focused on this person. They found that it was Censor Su. Everyone sighed. It seemed that this young and promising censor was really crazy. No wonder it was too exciting.

Feeling the distrust of everyone, Su Jingshi was angry and used all his strength to shout loudly: "It's that Xie Hong! He is good at strange and lustful skills. He must have made the sword, and he instigated the emperor to draw the sword, and finally he implied that the emperor raised the sword and stabbed him!"

When Su Jingshi advised him, he was close to him. He saw Xie Hong look back several times. It was a critical moment, but he didn't pay attention, but after his mood was ups and downs, he suddenly remembered it.

With the goal of hatred, everyone's eyes gradually lit up.

"Jinger! The number one jester in the Ming Dynasty is Xie Hong. It is because of him that he led the emperor!" Su Jingshi's shout began to echo.

"Cleaning the king's side starts with the jester Xie Hong!" The crowd was excited. It turned out that this person was the culprit. Such a bad person was indeed the number one jester of the Ming Dynasty!
