God and mystery

Chapter 48 Angry at my teammates
Ji Xiang quoted this poem. In fact, this poem is not a poem of praise and exhortation. This is a poem for inviting the gods. It was originally written by Mr. Gong at the invitation of a Taoist priest. Thunder and rain break the lifeless social situation, I hope the gods can reopen their eyes and let this world emerge with a large number of extraordinary talents.

However, each person has a different way of understanding poetry. Ji Xiang wrote this poem in four steps, using ten thousand horses as a metaphor for the princes, and the heaven as a metaphor for the emperor. In fact, there is no problem.

The sound in front of Fengtianmen reached the four directions, and the morning breeze was drumming. After a short silence, the courtiers made a noisy discussion.

The little old man Liu Yingqiu had nothing to say, because at this time, as soon as the poem came out, he even wanted to praise Ji Xiang.

Emperor Wanli looked at the ministers and asked, "What do you think of this poem?"

He himself was very satisfied with the literary grace of this poem, and felt that Ji Xiang still had a lot of big stuff in his stomach.

In the first two sentences, he still frowned and heard the irony inside, but the latter two sentences can be regarded as praises for the time being. First of all, the word Tiangong makes Emperor Wanli very happy, and then the last two sentences are connected together. Combined with the fact that he suddenly went to court this morning, it was indeed very fitting.

He really thought so, if he didn't have the intention of being swayed, how would he go to court today, is it for a story meeting? It's better to go and publish a book, anyway, the emperors of the Ming Dynasty did a lot of side jobs. , the book might even sell well.
This poem scolded the ministers, but did not scold them too much, and at the same time gave a subtle exhortation and praised the emperor.

Emperor Wanli narrowed his eyes: "I think it's okay."

I think it's okay, Lao Liu, do you think the punishment is not punishable?

The little old man didn't say anything weird at this time, and he had a special way to respond:
"This son wrote this poem, the minister has nothing to say, it really fits the situation, this poem is very good!"

The little old man first praised, then nodded frequently, and then his eyes flashed:
"Your Majesty, after listening to this poem, I suddenly felt like a slap in the face.

"Nowadays, the style of criticism is prevalent in the court. We don't talk about political affairs. Instead, we are busy attacking other people's privacy and shortcomings. We speak for the sake of criticism, not for the purpose of rectifying the court.

"Kyushu's anger has become dead, and the wind and thunder are not heard, and the sound of horses and horses is wrong. It is today that His Majesty is returning to the court. We should vigorously rectify the princes, so that the wind of Qingming will wash away the court and the opposition, and the heavenly prince will make thunder, and those who are capable should be promoted more and more. stand up!"

"May Your Majesty live forever, and may I be as bright as the sun! Clear the world and make the sun, moon, mountains and rivers forever!"

The little old man Liu Yingqiu first said that what Ji Xiang said was fine and that the old man liked his poems very much, and then the conversation turned abruptly and stabbed his butt with a knife, opening the eyes of the Yanguan Group.

The official group was stunned.

Good you little old man!

Slash your teammates with a slash, borrow flowers to offer Buddha, show your presence in front of the emperor, and turn your back on the battlefield, let alone 20 years of kung fu!
But what Lao Liu thought was very simple and direct!I will fight whoever the emperor wants to fight, and I will listen to whatever the emperor says. His Majesty returns to the court, how can I level up as a fifth-rank official, flatter me!

A good opportunity for promotion is coming!
"Well, that's right, Liu Yingqiu, it seems that you were chosen by the elders on your own merits for your position in the Imperial Court."

Wanli Emperor Liu Yingqiu was very happy with this backhand knife, saying that you are still very aware of current affairs, Lao Liu.

Ji Xiang was numb. If he was talking about fighting skills, he would not lose to others, but others took their own pretense and slapped another big gang in front of the emperor. This wave of manipulations really showed him numb.

"This has been decided from the fourth-rank Siye, and one more person will be added. Two days later, he will receive the official robe and all the things."

Emperor Wanli set a position. In fact, this position is also an idle position. Anyway, it was an addition. The three pavilions discussed why Ji Xiang was not allowed to go to other departments related to sacrifice. First of all, officials in Qin Tianjian were not allowed to change other officials. If there are any vacancies, the supervisor will fill them up level by level.

There is only one place for Wudang Mountain in the Daolu Division. Taihe Mountain has a point. This cannot be supplemented by Ji Xiang, and it needs Lao Zhang to seal it. Lao Zhang has not come yet.

What's more, the emperor has the final say on such things as rewards. Tao Zhongwen, the great demon Taoist, was a minister of the Ministry of Rites, and the contemporary Lao Zhang even served as a straight house outside the Meridian Gate from five to 18 years in Wanli (Forbidden City see Uncle Men), it doesn't matter what kind of position this kind of reward is given.

"I have one more thing to tell you next."

Ji Xiang accepted the emperor's praise, but when he heard the next three words, he suddenly understood that the next thing was about Zhu Changluo, and at this time, he had to act stupid.

So Ji Xiang stepped back, without saying a word, silence is golden, and stood back to the three patriarchs.The three patriarchs also knew what the emperor was going to say, and now they squinted their eyes. As long as the emperor did not name him, he would be in a state of dementia.

What are you discussing, the three of us are getting old, and I can't hear clearly, what kind of battle between countries, what kind of country?

The Wanli Emperor spoke up and said that Zhu Changluo had been arrested, and that he colluded with Huojun, usurped the rebellion, and set fire to the Forbidden City.

The ministers were stunned.

It turned out that the Wanli Emperor had suppressed that "someone" and did not reveal his identity, but this one was actually the eldest prince!
For a while, no one dared to speak, but everyone knew that when Emperor Wanli made this matter public, he told all the ministers that the battle for the state capital was over!

This time, old and young are in order!Because the eldest was going to be exiled to Fengyang, then because the second child died early, the third child, Zhu Changxun, took over directly!

"Someone opposes me, do you want to intercede for the eldest prince?"

Emperor Wanli once again raised the question, but this time it was to the courtiers of the Manchu dynasty.

"Report to Your Majesty, the eldest prince colluded with the Heretic God and set fire to the Forbidden City. There may be hidden feelings about this matter."

"Hidden feelings? I didn't say it, he admitted all this, and the three patriarchs heard it."

Emperor Wanli pulled the three old men to his camp this time. The three elders really heard it clearly. This time, there was really no secret, and the eldest prince really wanted to take the initiative to rebel.

It's just that he didn't succeed and changed from the "mastermind" of the case to "Zhu".

"This time, the first prince colluded with the evil gods, disturbed the Forbidden City, and set fire to the nine palaces and three palaces. Among them, more than [-] people died, including charred corpses, all of which were not false. What His Majesty said is true. Take it sooner."

At this time, all the ministers suddenly remembered that when the old man went out and announced that the minister would enter, the people from Beizhenfu surrounded a man covered with a black cloth and left, but he didn't expect it to be the eldest prince!
"I know what you're thinking, but I won't discuss the matter of the prince today! I haven't closed my eyes overnight, and I'm very tired now. If you have anything, I'll talk about it every other day."

"Disperse!"
