Chapter 339 Let them go to hell
Chapter 339 Let them go to hell
"Eunuch Ma, where is the emperor?"
While the court officials were discussing each other with their own thoughts, Xie Hong returned to the Forbidden City.
He first lost his life in Cining Palace, and then he learned that Zhengde had returned to the Ganqing Palace. When he arrived at the main hall of the Ganqing Palace, there was no one who could see Zhengde. Only Ma Yongcheng was waiting here with a sad look on his face.
Seeing that it was Xie Hong, Ma Yongcheng quickly reached out and wiped his face twice, then pointed to the back hall and said, "Long live in the back hall."
"Eunuch Ma, nothing happened to the emperor, right?" Xie Hong was frightened by his expression.
"There's nothing else..." Ma Yongcheng lowered his voice and said, "Before you brought the imperial guards out of the palace, Master Wansui entered the Cining Palace, and then drove our family and others out. He stayed inside for a long time. When he came out again, he was covered in blood and his expression was not right. When we went in, we saw that Wang Yue was killed by Master Wansui himself and cut many knives..."
As he spoke, Ma Yongcheng's face twitched slightly, obviously he was still scared of the terrifying scene.
Although it is understandable that Zhengde's mood is not too much to avenge his father's revenge, let alone just cut a few more times? But he also saw Zhengde growing up since childhood, and he was really uncomfortable for a while, especially when Zhengde came out, the cold and fierce look on his face made him feel cold from the bottom of his heart. Is this still the long live master who was originally good to meet?
"Well, I understand." Xie Hong nodded slightly. This was actually one of his goals. It seemed a bit cruel to let a young man kill someone, but Xie Hong knew very well that being too soft-hearted was Zhengde's biggest weakness.
Historical books slander Zhengde in every way, but one missing one. No one ever said that he was cruel and ruthless and killed innocent people. Although the emperor did not have to do it himself, when he ran around outside all day, he never saw that he really destroyed anyone's home or his door.
When Xie Hong really came into contact with Zhengde, he soon discovered that if he put aside the unreliable parts of his personality, Zhengde was actually a good person. He was a little naive in his personality. For his acquaintances around him, he always hoped that you and I would be good to everyone.
When Liu Jin reported the news that day, Zhengde was annoyed and just spoofed him outside Juyong Pass; Zhang Yong was shaken when Wang Yue broke into the palace, and Zhengde was only alienated from him under Xie Hong's persuasion; and in the history of his previous life, Liu Jin and Zhang Yong fought in front of the imperial court, and Zhu Houzhao was even more dissatisfied with it. Instead, he took out the style of a gangster and made wine to the two eunuchs and talked about it.
As for Liu Jian and Xie Qian, Zhengde was very nostalgic to his masters. Even if he was scolded by his masters, he did not do anything to these masters. Liu Jian and Xie Qian lived to the Jiajing Dynasty and became an old man again, becoming a dynasty in the four dynasties.
The master Zhengde respected the most, Grand Secretary Yang Tinghe, was not so scheming, but rather because of his scheming, it was because Zhengde trusted and relieved him too much, which led to his ten-year career as a prime minister during the Zhengde period.
When the Jiajing Dynasty arrived, Grand Secretary Yang capsized the ship within a few days. There was no way, he might not have adapted at all. Without the boss' support, he could not resist the counterattack of his political enemies. What's more, his new boss is still a whistle blower, and he is used to being at the same time. Where did he experience this?
In the history of his previous life, it was precisely because Zhengde was too kind to others and was too at ease with those acquaintances that he died.
Now that Xie Hong is present, he does not intend to let the tragedy happen again. At least he must let Zhengde know that if you are not good to others, others will repay them with the same mood.
At the same time, after experiencing this danger, Xie Hong certainly had to settle the liquidation. Even if it was not to vent his anger, he would have to take the situation in the capital completely in order to prevent his armpits from becoming angry. But if Zhengde was still the same as before, it would be unsure that he would be soft-hearted when dealing with some acquaintances, that would be bad.
You know, this time it is to be liquidated and revenge, not the spoofs I used to do. If I don’t die, I will be plotted against if I don’t kill a snake.
So when Liu Jin suddenly broke the news, Xie Hongcai took the initiative and took the banner of avenging Emperor Xiaozong, and then asked Zhengde to face Wang Yue alone. In fact, the old eunuch was also one of the people who grew up watching Zhengde grow up. Xie Hong thought that after killing Wang Yue with his own hands, Zhengde's character should be more mature.
It is also because of this that Xie Hongcai did not rush to attack the court officials, but returned to the Forbidden City first in order to complete Zhengde's psychological counseling work.
In ordinary things, Xie Hong often fools Zhengde, but in political affairs, he always explains the causes and consequences to Zhengde, and then gets the other party's consent and then executes it. In addition to trust, this is also to avoid estrangement between each other and not to give outsiders the opportunity to sow discord.
"Sir Xie, you must persuade Master Long Live. Wang Yue is not a pity for death. Don't be upset and hurt your body." Ma Yongcheng led the way for Xie Hong while muttering. If it weren't for the sharp voice, he would be like an elderly family member.
"Eunuch Ma, don't worry, after tonight, the emperor will cheer up." Xie Hong comforted him. The eunuchs such as Bahu were a little cruel, and the others were all people with no minds. Perhaps they would have a growing ambition when they gained power in the future, but at least now, these people are very similar to Zhengde, and they are a group of people who value friendship.
"That's good, that's good." When Xie Hong entered the back hall, Ma Yongcheng was still muttering himself.
The Forbidden City was overturned this night, and it was hard to guarantee whether there would be people with ulterior motives coming in, or the defeated soldiers were hiding in the corner, waiting for opportunities to make mistakes. Therefore, the halls and pavilions in the Forbidden City were still brightly lit, and there were also teams of guards outside holding torches and patrolling the palaces.
But the Qianqing Palace is different. The outer hall is still lighted, but the back hall is pitch black. With Xie Hong's eyesight, he can't see anything at all.
"Is it my brother?" Zhengde's voice came from the darkness. Unlike the past, his voice was filled with sadness and loneliness.
"It's me, second brother, are you okay?" The light outside could still penetrate slightly. After adapting to it for a while, and with Zhengde's voice, Xie Hong finally found Zhengde's position and walked to him.
"How come someone who is so good at Father, why would anyone still murder him?" Zhengde sat in the corner. It was not until Xie Hong walked in front of him that he raised his head and sighed faintly, as if he was asking questions to Xie Hong and talking to himself.
"Power and interests!" Xie Hong's words were very short, but they were loud and loud.
"Right?" Zhengde was slightly stunned, as if he was awakened by Xie Hong's voice.
"No," Xie Hong nodded. After being together for so long, he has become quite familiar with Zhengde.
The most common appearances on this familiar face are hippies and heartless expressions. Whether it is when you spoof the court officials or playful, even when you are besieged by the court officials and scolded him endlessly, he still has that expression, as if nothing in the world can stop his happiness.
On a few occasions, he would be impatient and even get angry. Even the few times he got angry were mostly not for himself, but because of Xie Hong. He always adhered to the oath of taking on difficulties and sharing blessings. Therefore, he could tolerate the disrespect of the courtiers to him, but he could not bear to see Xie Hong being besieged.
However, this was the first time Xie Hong saw this sad and lonely expression on Zhengde's face.
Xie Hong didn't know what his face looked like when Zhengde was betrayed by his most respected master and his closest minister in his previous life, but he was sure that even if Zhengde felt sad at that time, he would not be as sad as he is now.
At that time, he was already an adult after all. Whether it was Yang Tinghe's Piri Yangqiu or Zhang Yong's Yin Fengyangyi, he could detect some of it, but he was too lazy to think about it. Those dark things were completely incompatible with his temperament, and conspiracy was indeed not the specialty of this sunny boy.
"Second brother, do you still remember when you were in Xuanfu?" Xie Hong sat down next to Zhengde and suddenly raised a topic that seemed irrelevant.
"Well, Xuanfu is a good place..." Zhengde nodded, his expression on his face was a little loose, obviously thinking of those happy times in Xuanfu.
"You said at that time that Emperor Xiaozong gave you the opportunity to leave the palace to see, see the great mountains and rivers of the Ming Dynasty, and see if the people live and work in peace and contentment. Your father is a good emperor. He always thought about making the Ming Dynasty rich and strong. Even if he couldn't accomplish it himself, he would let you know this principle..."
"Yes!" Zhengde nodded heavily, tears flashing in his eyes.
"But some people don't like the Ming Dynasty's country and the people are strong, because the people are rich will delay their own wealth! The country is strong, more talents will appear and make it difficult for them to be promoted! They always say that they can study, but they set obstacles everywhere because they don't like the people's wisdom, and are afraid that after they have wisdom, they will see through the tricks they have done!"
Xie Hong's tone gradually became excited, "These people are all tigers and wolves! They always say benevolence, righteousness and morality, but behind their backs they are all thieves and prostitutes. Emperor Xiaozong wanted to make the country strong and restrict them from corruption and dereliction of duty. Therefore, they took the lead and killed Emperor Xiaozong. Today, they have the same thoughts on you again. They are those despicable and shameless bureaucrats!"
"Bureaut?" Zhengde was stunned.
"Oh, they are the scholars and officials in the court." Xie Hong said smoothly, forgot that there was no such name in this era. He explained and said, "Second brother, we must avenge your father!"
"I have already taken Wang Yue..." Zhengde's voice was a little low. I don't know if it was because of the panic of the first murder, or because he remembered Hongzhi, or was a little uncomfortable with a familiar person.
"Your father's grudge is very deep. It cannot be solved by killing a Wang Yue, or even by killing someone!" Xie Hong said firmly: "You must fulfill your father's wishes, let the Ming Dynasty be prosperous and strong, and dominate the world, so that your father's spirit in heaven can be relieved."
"Brother, keep talking." After hearing Xie Hong's words, the sadness on Zhengde's face slowly disappeared and his glory regained.
"We want to promote current comments so that everyone in the world knows what happened in the Ming Dynasty; we want to unleash the maritime ban, form a large fleet, and let the power of the Ming Dynasty conquer the world; we want to open academies all over the world, so that people in the world can read books from hundreds of schools, and from a hundred industries, everyone is like a dragon, for thousands of generations, and they are proud of their status as the people of the Ming Dynasty!"
Xie Hong stood up unknowingly and whispered: "We must kick those decadent bureaucrats into the garbage dump, so that we will no longer let today's affairs, Emperor Xiaozong's affairs, and the tragic incident of Tumu Fort repeat themselves, so that those bureaucrats who only care about their own interests can go to hell!"
"Yes, let them go to hell." Zhengde was also excited. He jumped up suddenly, clenched his fists and roared hard.
The voices of the two echoed in the back hall and spread from afar, even Ma Yongcheng in the front hall could hear it clearly.
Ma Yongcheng didn't know what they were yelling, but when he heard Zhengde's loud shouting, he was relieved: As long as the Lord Longsheng was happy, as for whom he was sent to the ghost, he deserved the unlucky man. Who made him provoke Lord Longsheng and provoke Xie Plague God?
It deserves it! Ma Yongcheng spat a saliva with hatred.
