The first assistant of the poor family

Chapter 420 Wenyuan Pavilion caught fire

Li Dongyang is the number one Confucian scholar in the Ming Dynasty, and his taste for tea is naturally unrivaled.

Xie Shen took a sip of the tea, and praised him full of praise: "This tea tastes very elegant, Xi Ya Gong is really delicious."

Li Dongyang stroked his beard and said: "Steal Fusheng for half a day, and drink tea to entertain yourself."

Xie Shen put down the teacup, spread his hands helplessly and said: "Mr. Xiya wants to drink tea, but I don't have the heart. I just went to see His Majesty, and the memorial was sent back."

Li Dongyang gasped and said, "Why?"

If we talk about who among the courtiers is the most favored by the emperor, is it Xie Shen and Xie Siming? Why did the emperor return Xie Shen's memorial today?

Xie Shen shook his head and said: "It's a long story, but it was Xiaoxiao who bewitched His Majesty, causing His Majesty to be indifferent to political affairs."

Li Dongyang lowered his voice and said, "Is that Jiang Bin what Siming was talking about?"

Although the cabinet's housekeeping is the territory of the courtiers, they must be careful when sailing for thousands of years. Who knows if Jiang Bin has placed eyeliners near Wenyuan Pavilion?

"Yes, it is this person. I am ashamed to say that this person was recommended by a certain person at the beginning."

Xie Shen has Qi Qiran in front of him.

Li Dongyang waved his hands and said, "Siming is also loyal to the country, so don't take it too seriously. From this point of view, Jiang Bin is also like Liu Jin and Qian Ning. Now that his wings are getting richer, he will be disobedient."

Xie Shen nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, this person is eager to get out of our control. If he really becomes the next Qian Ning, I'm afraid he will do something that will ruin the country."

Xie Shen had already said it very tactfully.Compared with Qian Ning, Jiang Bin is more harmful.Because in the original history, Qian Ning only bewitched the emperor to eat, drink and have fun, and Jiang Bin also encouraged the emperor to tour the frontier north.

This can be fatal.

The Son of Heaven is the honor of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, and he should sit upright in the bright hall and hang down the arch.

But Emperor Zhengde didn't like being restrained.It was better to have Xie Shen on the side to urge.It is Jiang Bin who is serving the emperor now.

After some bewitching, the emperor may really make the decision to make a northern tour.

Li Dongyang pondered for a moment and said, "When Siming left, did Jiang Bin speak ill of you?"

Xie Shen shook his head and said, "That's not true."

Li Dongyang sighed: "A biting dog doesn't bark, it seems that Siming really needs to be careful."

Xie Shen nodded and said: "Thank you, Mr. Xi Ya, for your reminder, I will pay attention to it."

After a short pause, he continued: "Your Majesty has an order to let Princess Xiya preside over the court discussion, and discuss this memorial with the six ministries and nine ministers."

Li Dongyang nodded slightly and said: "It's easy to say, the old man asked Yu Qiao to take the lead."

"At that time, it will still be the old rule. Each of the six ministries and nine ministers will have a bamboo stick, and whether they approve or disapprove will be decided by voting."

This way of discussing matters is too subjective, and it is inevitable that there will be omissions.

But everyone is used to patting their heads, and Xie Shen's words alone won't have much effect.

"Speaking of that Jiang Bin, the old man still remembered something."

Li Dongyang said with a sad face: "Your Majesty intends to tour Datong in the north, what do you think of Siming?"

I rely on!

Xie Shen almost cried out.

I'm really afraid of what's coming.

He was worried that Jiang Bin would encourage the emperor to go out of Beijing to have fun in the name of the Northern Tour, and this happened.

If the Son of Heaven really went on a northern tour, the holy driver would definitely have fragrant cars and BMWs, wearing ribbons and silks wherever he went.

Such a waste of money will make life even more difficult for the people in the north who are not rich.

"This is absolutely impossible!"

Xie Shen said firmly.

Xie Shen is extremely disgusted with Zhengde's preference for self-proclaimed generals to patrol the north.

The Son of Heaven should look like the Son of Heaven.Now that the world is sitting on the ground instead of fighting the world, is it necessary for the emperor to lead the army to fight and take the lead?

Besides, Zhengde's so-called border inspections are actually traveling in mountains and rivers.

The emperor was tired of court life and moved to the Leopard Room.

What if you are tired of living in the Leopard Room?Naturally, he had to go outside Beijing.

At this time, there is no suitable reason to go to Jiangnan. The only places to go are Xuanfu and Datong.

The emperor has newly established a trilateral governor, and it seems that there will not be much resistance to the tour at this point in time.

It has to be said that Jiang Bin's vision is very vicious, but Xie Shen does not intend to compromise on this.

At least we can't let Emperor Zhengde open this hole so easily, otherwise the emperor will go on tour every three days or simply not return to Beijing, so what should we do?

Thinking of the gloomy Jiajing Emperor behind Emperor Zhengde, Xie Shen gasped.

If it is said that the most mean and ungrateful emperor in the Ming Dynasty, the emperor who played tricks must be Emperor Jiajing.

Look at those civil servants in the Jiajing Dynasty who are not human beings.

Xia Yan, Yan Song, Xu Jie
Even Lu Bing, the commander of Jinyiwei, was played by Emperor Jiajing.

The Taoist emperor liked the art of checks and balances very much. While using eunuchs to check and balance civil officials, he used Jin Yiwei to check and balance eunuchs.

As for the civil servants, there are strict parties and Xu parties.

The harder the courtiers fought, the more comfortable Emperor Jiajing felt, but in this way the courtiers became Emperor Jiajing's playthings.

No one wants to serve such a manipulative, mean and unkind king.Xie Shen is no exception.

Therefore, he absolutely didn't want Emperor Zhengde to have any problems, and it's better to stop with things like going on tour.

But the timing of this persuasion is really not good.

He has just presented the reform report to the emperor. If he stands up against the emperor's tour at this time, he may annoy the emperor and affect the new reform policy.

Xie Shen understands Zhengde's nature very well.Singing against the emperor at this time will definitely make the emperor disgusted.

Just when Xie Shen was in a dilemma, Li Dongyang coughed and said, "Siming, it's not appropriate for you to persuade His Majesty at this time, so I'd better come here."

Xie Shen was overjoyed.Li Dongyang and Li Shoufu are really kind people.

"Then I would like to thank Duke Xiya."

Li Dongyang waved his hand and said: "It's okay, this is also the duty of the old man."

At this moment, a scribe stumbled in and said in a daze, "It's not good, Wenyuan Pavilion is on fire!"

Both Xie Shen and Li Dongyang were shocked.

Mr. Shoufu forced himself to calm down and said: "Speak slowly, what's the matter, how could the well-behaved Wenyuan Pavilion catch fire?"

The clerk said with a mournful face, "I don't know what's going on. I just took a look when I went out, and saw a raging fire in Wenyuan Pavilion, so I immediately rushed to report that the old man is old."

Li Dongyang secretly cried out, Wenyuan Pavilion actually caught fire at this time.

"Siming, let me go and have a look with the old man!"

Li Dongyang got up abruptly, and walked outside the duty room.

When the two of them left the room, they were choked by the thick smoke and coughed.

Xie Shen looked up, and saw that Wenyuan Pavilion had been engulfed in flames, and the scorched window lattices and wooden rafters were emitting stench. Seeing the intensity of the fire, even if he ordered people to draw water to put out the fire, it would be too late.

Ming people are very superstitious about fire.Think it's a sign of immorality.

If the emperor's bedroom is burned, it is a vision from heaven that the emperor lost his virtue.If Wenyuan Pavilion is burned, it is natural that several cabinet ministers are responsible.
