little emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 62
It snowed all night in March, and it didn't hurt Wuhua.Only because the spring is about to end, I keep the pear blossoms.

When a gust of wind blows, the flowers fall like snow, accompanied by a dark fragrance, which is refreshing.Emperor Wanli leaned on the white jade railing and took a deep breath. He had been coming to the Pear Fragrance Hall for a long time. He remembered that when he came here for the first time, he had accompanied the emperor’s grandfather to come here. Now that he has snapped his fingers for decades, the fragrance of pears is still the same, and things are different. It seems like a lifetime away.

Wanli enjoys the spring scenery, turning a blind eye to Shen Yiguan who has been kneeling aside for a long time.Shen Yiguan, who was always slippery, didn't dare to move at all, while Huang Jin watched his nose and heart from the side, like a clay sculpture.

Time seemed to stand still, until Shen Yiguan's body was covered with a thick layer of falling flowers, which looked like a layer of snow from a distance, and beads of sweat the size of soybeans dripped down one by one on his forehead, Wanli just snorted softly, Shen Yiguan heard Lei Zhen trembled, and quickly lowered his head a little, almost touching the ground.

"Get up, you have to remember that you are the one chosen by me, you know what's going on in this scientific exam cheating, and so do I!" Shen Yiguan's face was whiter than the pear blossoms that fell on the ground.

"Before I make a decision, you go back and listen to the order. Remember, be your job well, and I will keep you accountable for this matter!"

When Shen Yiguan got up, he almost fell down. He knelt for too long, and his blood vessels were blocked, which made his feet feel as uncomfortable as needles. He could hardly walk.

Huang Jin watched the whole process calmly. In his opinion, this Lord Shen is completely self-inflicted. For more than ten years, the emperor Yuji has been covered with labels such as cruelty, tyranny, lust, and disobedience. Who would think that the current emperor If he is fatuous and incompetent, and can be manipulated by others, then he is blind!

"Are you wondering why I treat Shen Yiguan like this?"

"Your Majesty, you are wise, this old slave can't escape your eyes." Knowing that Huang Jin was flattering, Wanli still felt very comfortable.

"These courtiers are impassioned and loyal, and their small thoughts can't hide it from me! If they think that I won't go to court, they can treat me like a three-year-old child. It's a wrong idea to fool around..." Wanli smiled darkly, "Yan Officials and ministers have fought against each other for many years, checking and balancing each other, but recently I watched with cold eyes, and they seem to want to twist together."

It turned out that Shen Yiguan's rise to the sky was deliberately done by Long Live Lord, and finally solved a mystery in Huang Jin's mind. It turned out that the emperor had a mind of division and division, and the emperor's mind is indeed difficult to guess today.

"I promote Shen Yiguan. If I can draw out all those ghosts and monsters who usually hide in the dark and dare not move rashly, I will not appreciate him in vain!" Looking at the gloomy smile on the corner of Wanli's mouth, Huang Jin was startled. , the heart of the Holy Majesty is as deep as the ocean, even if he has been by the Emperor's side day and night for decades, it is even more difficult to see through it today.

"Huang Jin, what do you think I should do with this son?" There was no anger in the emperor's voice this time, but a little helplessness, "I just wonder why he appears in everything? What exactly does he want to do? "

Huang Jin was speechless, could he be a slave to interrupt the emperor's family affairs?Years of experience accompanying Wang's escort told him that it's best to pretend to be dumb when he can't figure out the situation.It's a pity that Wanli didn't want him to be fooled this time.

"What's the matter, you don't talk a lot on weekdays, why don't you talk if you really let me talk?"

Seeing that he couldn't hide, Huang Jin said with a smile: "Sheng Ming is no better than the emperor. Although the young highness acted recklessly this time, he didn't make any big troubles because of him in the imperial examination this time, didn't he? Besides, you have already made up your mind, why bother?" You talk too much."

After speaking, peeking at the emperor's expression, Wanli snorted coldly, noncommittal.

"Go and call that villain, I want to ask him what he wants to do!"

Zhu Changluo saw this scene when he came, the pear blossoms were falling like a sea, and his father Wanli was waiting for him with a serious face.

"I have met my father, I wish my father a long life." After Zhu Changluo said auspicious words, he knelt on the ground to pay his respects.

"With a son like you, I dare not live forever! You are getting older and more courageous, do you think I dare not punish you for your crime?"

He shouted loudly and burst into anger.Huang Jin's face on the side turned yellow, it seems that the emperor is really angry this time, how can you pass the test, my lord...

"As the eldest son of the emperor, your status is precious. Don't you understand the truth that the son of a thousand gold can't sit down? If you don't cultivate in the palace, break into the tribute courtyard, and change the exam questions without authorization, I would like to ask you, who gave you the right, who gave you the right?" Give you the guts?"

After a series of pressing questions, the atmosphere in Rikain was frozen.

"Your Majesty's dragon body is important, first drink ginseng tea to calm down, according to this old slave, your highness is not a reckless person, first listen to his reasoning before it is too late to deal with it..." Huang Jin bit the bullet and came up to smooth things over.

Before he finished speaking, Wanli glared at him fiercely, making Huang Jin's hair stand on end in fright, he knelt down, stretched out his hand and slapped himself on the mouth, "Oh, I'm calling you a talkative old man, long live Don't be upset, wait until the old slave kills him to vent your anger!"

Watching Huang Jin slap one after another, his old face turned red in a blink of an eye, Wanli was angry and funny, after all, he was an old man who had been by his side since he was a child, Wanli couldn't bear it.

"Forget it, if you dare to talk too much next time, I will never forgive you lightly. Get the hell out of here."

He glanced at Huang Jin gratefully, thanks to his gag, the tense atmosphere between him and Wanli has eased a lot.

"Father, my son sent a friend to the exam today, and I got this piece of paper outside the gate of the Gongyuan." After speaking, he took out the paper full of exam questions from his sleeve, Huang Jin quickly took it and handed it to Wanli .Wanli didn't answer, just glanced lightly, and snorted coldly, indicating that he already knew.

"My son saw that many candidates bought such a piece of paper, and felt something was wrong. After thinking about it, he decided to go to the Gongyuan to have a look."

"You are really good-natured. Cheating in scientific examinations is a big deal. You dare to do something that even Wang Jiaping dare not do on the spot to change the test. It shows that you can have no king and no father by relying on your status as the eldest son of the emperor. Doing wrong and running amok!"

"My son knows that trespassing is a serious crime! But today I say it again in front of my father, even if time goes back and I'm in the middle again, I will still do it!" Zhu Changluo raised his head and stared into Wanli's eyes, saying one word One sentence is very clear.

"Oh?" Wanli smiled angrily, this son can always bring him surprises, he really wants to hear how this guy will argue, "I want to hear, why do you want to do this, you have to remember , I will give you a chance to argue, just this time!"

Huang Jin's face had completely turned from yellow to white, and his worried eyes fell on Zhu Changluo. There was nothing he could do in this situation.

"The minister is not talented, and the governor can follow the authority when he is in a hurry. Today, all the candidates have entered the examination room to start the examination. There is no other way but to suspend the examination or change the examination questions. How sacred is the triennial scientific examination for the selection of equipment for the country If the exam is suspended rashly, it will inevitably be questioned and angered by the students from all over the world, and then what will the court face? Where is the majesty of the father?"

"Although my son is young, I also know that there are constant internal and external troubles in the court, and my father can't sleep because of this, and I don't know what to eat. Listen to the master's history books and record the cases of imperial examination fraud in the previous dynasty. All of them are shocking and bloody. At the end of the turmoil, the sons and ministers selfishly wanted to share the worries of the father, to calm down the affairs of the court, and to select talents for the Ming Dynasty. The minister has a heart of loyalty and filial piety."

An arrogance has become a filial piety in this way, not only without fault, but also with merit!Wanli was dumbfounded, Huang Jin was dumbfounded.

"Your Majesty, the filial piety of the eldest son of the emperor is truly commendable." As the emperor's confidant, he always knows when to say something. "This old slave has been unable to figure out that this matter has nothing to do with His Royal Highness. It is a person who can get out of the matter and ignore it. Why bother to cause trouble? Now that I heard it, I understand that this matter is wholeheartedly for the emperor to share your worries... ...If all the officials in the court are dedicated to the emperor like your highness, your majesty will be able to live in peace and peace for a few days."

These few words can be said to Wanli's heart, since Shen Shixing avoided suspicion and refused to court, he knew what he was doing these days, "You old man's mouth will please me, get out! "

Turning his head to stare at Zhu Changluo, as if he wanted to see something on his face, it was very different from the thunderous aura just now, Wanli's eyes gradually softened.

"You trespassed on the Tribute Court, trespassed and changed the order. Gu Nian is loyal, but the prince broke the law and committed the same crime as the people. You will be imprisoned in the Yonghe Palace for six months, and you will think about your mistakes behind closed doors. Are you convinced?"

I thought I would suffer a lot this time, but I didn't expect that it was only a six-month confinement. Unexpectedly, Zhu Changluo immediately liked this eccentric father a lot.

"I am convinced, my son thanked the father for his kindness..." After a pause, he raised his head and looked at Wanli with a smile: "If the father is not relieved, you can hit him a few times."

No son has ever dared to talk to him like this, not even his favorite Zhu Changxun. For a while, Wanli stared at this cunning boy, a little at a loss, but the warmth in his heart finally made him unable to bear it Laughed out loud.

"Get out, go back and think about your mistakes behind closed doors, if you dare to make trouble again, you will be punished for all crimes, and you will not be spared lightly!"

"Thank you, father." Zhu Changluo got up suddenly, turned around with a smile and was about to leave when Wanli sighed softly from behind.

"I promised you that I would not stop your way, but today my father has a sentence for you, you must keep it in your heart. What is yours is yours after all, and what is not yours should not be forced, do you understand?"

Is this a warning?The warm feeling just now turned bitter instantly, Zhu Changluo turned around and said yes in a low voice, bowed his head, turned and walked away quickly.

"Your Majesty, this is..." Huang Jin didn't continue speaking in the middle of the sentence.

The pear blossoms fell like snow, and Wanli picked up a pear blossom casually, "This pear blossom blooms on the branch as white as snow, and is lovely, but if it falls on the ground, it will be a pity if it gets dusty and soiled..."

The next day, Emperor Wanli issued an imperial decree, ordering Jin Yiwei to strictly investigate the fraud case of Chunwei in the 16th year of Wanli.The point is that strict inspection is not strict enforcement. The difference between one word and the meaning falls in the hearts of people with a scheming heart. Naturally, it is very interesting. The decree of punishment has also come down.

Zhu Changluo, the eldest son of the emperor who trespassed on the Tribute Court and changed the exam questions, was banned for six months. Wang Jiaping, the chief examiner, was fined for one year. It was as if a bomb had detonated in the imperial court, and the huge shock wave immediately shifted all eyes on the scientific examination fraud case to Shen Yiguan!

All of a sudden, the situation of the Ming court changed suddenly, and all forces moved around one after another.

"Zhu Xiaoqi, I really didn't expect you to say a lot of flattering words brazenly, just like that old fox Shen Shixing."

"What do you know, is that flattering? Besides, Mr. Shen Ge is a strange person. As long as he speaks in the court, Longyan will be delighted. It is obviously a eulogy, and people think it is because the emperor is too wise. , Things can be done without seeing mountains and dews, and you can look at it afterwards, and others can do things that others can't do, what does this mean? This is called ability, do you understand? This is called making big things without sticking to small details, do you understand?"

"shameless!"
