little emperor of Ming Dynasty

65 - Four Seasons
Flowers bloom in two faces, and people's hearts are very different.In May, durian flowers are in full bloom and in full swing.People in a good mood look pleasing to the eye, but those in a bad mood find it dazzling. Emperor Wanli in Qianqing Palace is obviously the latter type. Looking at the memorials spread out on the table, the emperor's face is the same as the durian flowers blooming outside the palace. Bright as blood.

Luo Daxie is a very qualified speech officer. The book is very spicy, presents the facts and makes sense, denounces Shen Shi's behavior as an official, double-faced and three-handed, not enough to repay God's favor, and below the trust of all officials. Be punished!
"The cliché, the heart of the ghost domain, the high-sounding sound is just to rule out differences, to estimate the reputation and the like!" Wanli snorted coldly, stretched out his hand and threw the booklet to the ground fiercely.

One Luo Dayu is not terrible, what is terrible is many Luo Dayu... As if it was an appointment, Zhong Yuzheng, Hou Xianchun, Zhongshu Huang Zhengbin and others all have this chapter, without exception. They aimed their guns at Shen Shixing unanimously.

Wanli, who has fought with ministers and officials for half his life, knows that this is just the beginning.If it's not done well, it's not just these few who will come next, thinking of the saliva sprayed all over the sky.Wanli's head was as big as a bucket, and he collapsed on the dragon chair exhausted physically and mentally. For the first time in his life, he began to regret that in order to defeat and stink Zhang Juzheng, was it really correct to liberate Yanguan?

Huang Jin quietly put away the folders that had been thrown all over the floor, and looked at the troubled emperor who was pressing his forehead with a worried expression.

"Your Majesty, look..."

"What do you look at, this Luo Daxie will never let him go, if he didn't expose this matter, why would it be like this!" After saying this, he suddenly became furious, "The guys in the cabinet are all just for nothing. Well, how could this kind of secret melody be sent to the Ministry of Rites, let me check it carefully, I'm afraid someone will deliberately make things wrong!"

Huang Jin repeatedly said yes, but secretly complained in his heart: Knowing that this is a secret rehearsal, long live you will die if you are our family's eunuch who holds a pen?If we leave it to our family, won't there be nothing left?What's the use of complaining about Zhang and Li now...

A slander is a slander, but he doesn't dare to show it on the face. He is too clear about the emperor's temper. The fault is someone else's, and the right is his own.

"Luo Dayu's resignation, let him go as far as he can! This kind of people who estimate their fame and reputation stand on the court, I look disgusted! Zhong Yuzheng, Hou Xianchun and others who follow the trend will be fined for one year. , if they dare to make trouble out of nothing again, and follow suit, I don't mind if they go home with Luo Dayu!"

Huang Jin sent the decree to the cabinet without touching his feet. Just looking at the astonished expressions of Wang Jiaping and Shen Yiguan when they received the decree, Huang Jin understood that the emperor's decision this time was probably adding a layer of poison to the boiling oil pan. With a scoop of cold water, the effect must be great.

With a decree, there was an uproar inside and outside the court, and everyone could see that the emperor was completely playing cover-up!The effect was just the opposite. Several officials who were sympathetic to Shen Shixing turned their guns away one after another. Everyone worked together, and a movement against Shen Shixing began.

The icing on the cake, fire and oil are always the most realistic. When you are in full swing, everyone greets you with a smile and flatters you.It's unlucky now, time has changed and things have become easier, so the old saying goes, everyone pushes the wall down, and beats the dog in the water.

Shen Shixing, who had not been to court for many days, was called to stand in the Hall of Supreme Harmony today, and finally experienced the pain of Zhang Juzheng's downfall.You can imagine how beautiful it was when you were held high on the clouds and yelled at each other, but now you are still these people, the only difference is that your hands have become feet, and they will step on you at will Do you feel trampled on?Silently looking at the familiar and unfamiliar faces, looking at the Hall of Supreme Harmony where he had struggled for most of his life, Shen Shixing felt mixed feelings and couldn't tell what it was like.

"Don't be surprised by favor or disgrace, just watch the flowers bloom and fall in front of the court; leave or stay without care, follow the clouds and clouds in the sky. The old man has a life-long understanding, and can bear the unbearable. If he can understand Chang Luo's painstaking efforts, it will be very fortunate for Daming and very lucky for Changluo." This is what Zhu Changluo said to Shen Shixing with a smile while pointing to the couplet in his study when he left yesterday.

For Shen Shixing, the word forbearance is very good for him. When Zhang Juzheng was in power, he was forbearable, and when he was in power, he was even more forbearable. But what made him unbearable was hopeless forbearance.He was already desperate for Wanli, but the appearance of Zhu Changluo brought him hope.He believed that he would not have to walk alone in the dark night from now on. He believed that as long as he survived this short night, there would be hope after dawn.

In May of the 16th year of Wanli, at the end of the aftermath of the scientific examination fraud case, the officials in the Hall of Supreme Harmony who impeached Shen Shixing headed by Luo Daxie were severely reprimanded by the emperor. After reading Shen Shixing's memorandum, the impeachment, which was originally solid evidence, was abruptly changed into a rumor. The change was so great that Dalian and himself lost all energy in answering, Gu Xiancheng, Ye Xianggao and the others were ashen, Dare to be angry but dare not speak.It was a game that was clearly a must-win, but it ended in such a hasty way, which made them extremely unwilling!

The matter did not end like this, and Shen Shixing's performance later stunned all the monarchs and ministers in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.Shen Shixing, who had clearly passed the difficulties, resolutely resigned, and his determination moved the emperor and all the officials. This result was beyond everyone's expectations.

Wanli was annoyed by Shen Shixing's ignorance, so he approved his memorial and left in a huff. This accident made Gu Xiancheng and others overjoyed.An unshakable mountain fell automatically, how could we not let them run around telling each other and celebrating with each other.

But one thing is very strange, after Shen Shixing resigned from office, he didn't pack up his things and go back to his hometown, but quietly lived in seclusion in Shen's mansion.When he claimed to be sick, the door was closed tightly, and all relatives and friends, including visits, were closed behind closed doors. The door was not opened until Wang Xijue, who came back from the illness a few months later, came back.

The way of heaven is eternal, it does not exist for Yao, and it does not perish for Jie.This is what Xunzi said. The common people know that life has to pass by, so Shen Shixing's departure only marks the end of an era in the Ming Dynasty, so everyone's eyes are fixed on the place where all the power in the world is gathered... because There is no chief assistant there now, only one acting first assistant and one second assistant.

The weather has become very hot, everyone has changed into summer clothes and fanned.Inside the Palace of the Qing Dynasty, there are several large bowls of yellow flowers and colorful pots in official kilns. The big ice cubes puff out white smoke, and the coolness drives away the summer heat. Compared with the hot and disturbing weather outside, the coolness here is like a cave. .

Looking at the memorials piled up for one case, and then looking at the frowning eunuch Huang Jin, Wanli, who had not been in court for two months and had not approved the memorials, snorted a little embarrassedly, and picked up a bowl of iced plum juice , "I think this thing is very good. It's refreshing and appetizing. The heat is unbearable these days. Can the third son use it well?"

Can it be bad?The three palaces and six courtyards, who can surpass Chuxiu Palace when it comes to luxury and enjoyment?With a smile on his face, Huang Jin quickly replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, His Highness the Third Highness likes this very much. He had already had three bowls yesterday. If it wasn't for the imperial concubine to stop him, he might be able to drink a few more bowls."

When mentioning Zhu Changxun, the third son of the emperor, Wanli showed a rare warmth on his face.In Huang Jin's view, it was the kindness from the heart of a father, which cannot be pretended.

Since the summer month, the weather has been getting hotter day by day, a bowl of iced plum soup may not be a big deal, but it represents an attitude of the emperor.Needless to say, Zhu Changxun, the third son of the emperor, drank it every day, even Zhu Changhao, the fifth son of the emperor, was rewarded from time to time, but for the eldest son Zhu Changluo of the Yonghe Palace, it seemed that the emperor once again forgot that there was such a son.Huang Jin saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart.

"Look, these papers are all intended to enter the cabinet. I know that these people speak uprightly, and all the high-ranking officials reveal their true colors in front of high-ranking officials." After flipping through a few papers, Wanli sneered. I stopped watching.

"It is my will that the cabinet must not be left without a master. From now on, Wang Jiaping will be the chief assistant, and Shen Yiguan will be the second assistant. If the cabinet is not fully staffed, there may be mistakes in government affairs. Zhao Zhigao, the left servant of the Ministry of official affairs, and Zhang Wei, the right servant of the Ministry of rites, will be selected as cabinet bachelors. , enter the cabinet, and share politics!"

This was the last note that Shen Shixing sent someone to submit before saying that he was sick and closed the mansion, recommending these two to the emperor to fill the vacancy in the cabinet.Wanli was extremely angry at Shen Shixing's ignorance, and he didn't want to pay attention to it at first, but today he has to admire the old-fashioned and long-term vision of this master Shen. After thinking about it again and again, Wanli decided to listen to Teacher Shen again.

Sure enough, once the imperial decree was issued, all the forces that were about to fight to the death were dumbfounded. Ye Xianggao, who was the most promising leader, was not selected again. This inevitably made Ye Xianggao, Gu Xiancheng and many others feel disappointed.Zhao Zhigao is a veteran minister, no one said anything about his qualifications and ability to be selected, but what is Zhang Wei?
The most embarrassing thing is Shen Yiguan. According to common sense, Shen Shixing, the chief assistant, has left, and his acting chief assistant will definitely become a full-time official. Unfortunately, the wish is good, the process is tortuous, and the result is not certain. It's what you want... After the emperor's imperial decree came down, Shen Yiguan's face was hot for several days, and he couldn't lift his head to look at people when he was walking.

When the news of the previous dynasty reached the Yonghe Palace, Zhu Changluo smiled knowingly and looked down at the book.

Time flies, summer goes to autumn, and it is snowy season again.The first month of Wanli's 17th year has not yet passed, and a memorial sounded the horn of battle, which finally brought Wanli's peaceful days to an end.

Zhu Changluo, who was one year older, had completely shed his childish air, and became an out-and-out young boy.In addition to the change in stature, her name was also upgraded from Zhu Xiaoqi to Zhu Xiaoba.For this new name Zhu Changluo expressed deep hatred, and the whole palace chased Ye He to beat him.

Outside the window, Ye He stretched out his long sword in his hand, the tip of the sword was radiant, and he stood still like an old monk in meditation facing an old plum tree. He was like this when Zhu Changluo started writing the letter, and he was still like this after writing the letter.

Looking at the moon-watching long sword in Ye He's hand, and thinking of the short sword Fu Xi given to him by Ye He, Zhu Changluo suddenly remembered that Nuerhachi didn't know what to do at this moment?This man is a hero of his generation, although he was severely injured by himself in Liaodong, but given time, when his vitality is exhausted, he will eventually be a trouble in Daming's confidant, but unfortunately he can't take care of him in front of him.

It was really boring and boring to watch, Zhu Xiaoba couldn't bear it.He rolled up a piece of waste paper in his hand and threw it towards Ye He.In an instant, the endless sword energy flowed like a river, and the sea tide was rushing. Zhu Xiaoba watched helplessly that the paper ball was twisted into powder by the sword light, and then his neck felt cold, and the tip of the sword had already touched his throat.

"Big Ye, you don't want to mess around anymore, do you!" A certain person was startled and terrified, and became angry from embarrassment.

"Tch, who told you to tease me when I was practicing."

"You're right! I'm the eldest son of the emperor, do you understand that you're plotting treason and committing a crime, don't you understand?" The naked threats didn't work at all. The momentum blew out for thousands of miles.

"Hey, send this letter to Mr. Shen Ge, so that no one will see it."

"Whispering! I don't know how much I have sent over this year. By the way, when will you be so sneaky?"

"I don't think it will be long, the good show is about to start..." Staring at the letter in his hand, Ye He felt that the smiling face in front of him looked like a fox who had successfully cheated.
