Jinyi Town Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 291 The Holy Monarch
Xu Jie cupped his hands and said, "Just now when I was on duty in the cabinet, I heard from Jin Yiwei's Fushi He Zhen that Hai Rui bought the coffin before he submitted the letter. He knew that he would offend the emperor, but he dared to be so rebellious. How vicious his intentions are!"

Emperor Jiajing sneered again: "Oh, vicious? Where is the vicious? Yanming!"

Xu Jie took a deep breath.He has already made up his mind to use his three-inch tongue to protect Hai Rui, a national scholar!

Xu Jie said: "This person's purpose is very clear, he only wants to anger His Majesty, and then seek fame with death! If the Emperor kills him, he will fall into his trap!"

After 40 years of official career, Xu Jie has perfected the methods of "rectifying people" and "protecting people".

Emperor Jiajing really fell into Xu Jie's trap.He said, "He wants to be Bigan, but unfortunately I am not King Zhou! Where is Hai Rui now?"

Chen Hongdao: "Report to the emperor, Dongchang has already detained him! As long as the emperor gives an order, the slaves will definitely smash this traitor who insulted the emperor to pieces!"

Emperor Jiajing said angrily: "The body is broken into pieces? Do you want me to be the king of Zhou? Shut Hai Rui to Fusi Prison in Beizhen!"

Hai Ruiguan must die in Dongchang.After being locked in Fusi Prison in Beizhen, there is still a glimmer of life.

Emperor Jiajing said again: "Hai Rui is just a small head of the household department! Shang Zhezi insulted me, someone must have ordered it! Check! Lu Fang, Chen Hong, He Liu, you three go and find out who Hai Rui is. backstage! Can't find out, come and see me!"

Xu Jie pointed to the "Congratulatory Form" in his hand, and said, "Report to the Emperor, it's inappropriate to keep such rebellious words. I request that it be burned."

Emperor Jiajing said uncertainly: "This is the evidence that Hai Rui insulted your father! Could it be that Xu Shoufu is in a hurry to destroy the evidence?"

Xu Jie fell to his knees: "I dare not!"

Emperor Jiajing ordered: "Since you don't want to read the contents of this notebook, then pass it on to everyone."

After the ministers had finished reading Hai Rui's "The Best Book in the World", Emperor Jiajing asked, "What do you think?"

Xu Jie said, "It's just nonsense!"

All the ministers nodded and said yes: "That's right, it's a bunch of nonsense."

Standing in the hall, He Liu thought of the story Yang Lian had told him again: Civil and military men in the Manchu Dynasty were afraid of Jujun's power, and no one dared to point out that Jujun was actually a nude and naked emperor!
Emperor Jiajing said: "Then what Hai Rui said in the book is well-founded and well-founded. It doesn't look like nonsense, does it? Or maybe what he said is exactly what you think in your heart?"

All the ministers fell to their knees in a "crash".

Lu Fang said: "The emperor has been in power for 45 years, creating a prosperous Jiajing era! Now that the world is in peace, our Ming Dynasty has become the most powerful dynasty in history! It all depends on the emperor's wise, wise, and wise decisions! Therefore, Hai Rui is talking nonsense! The emperor must not I broke my body for a petty person who seeks fame by death!"

Xu Jie said: "What Eunuch Lu said is absolutely true."

All the ministers expressed their attitudes: "The emperor is wise and wise, and he is the most wise monarch in all ages!"

Although He Liu pretended to open his mouth, he never said the word "Sheng Ming".

He thought of his royal robes—Xu Qi, Fatty Xu.

Fatty Xu was once the most gluttonous person in Jinyiwei.Every meal cannot live without meat.But he went to Liangxiang County to supervise the disaster relief years ago, and saw with his own eyes "changing children and eating"; he saw with his own eyes the body of a five-year-old girl turned into a pile of meat in a pot.He switched to a vegetarian diet.Not only is he a vegetarian, but he also recites the Buddha's name every day, praying that the Buddha can bless the common people in the world.

The one who protects the common people in the world should not be some illusory Western Heaven Buddha, but the king of a country!
But the current emperor in front of him is obsessed with cultivating immortals all day long and asked, has he ever truly blessed the common people in the world?Shengming?If the current emperor is wise, then from the Three Sovereigns and Five Sovereigns up to now, China has never had a foolish king!

Emperor Jiajing said: "It's the same sentence! Hai Rui is so bold, there must be a backer! Lu Fang, Chen Hong, He Liu, you must investigate carefully for me! If you find out the backer, I will definitely punish you severely! Forget it, I'm tired. You all step back."

Lu Fang cupped his hands and said: "My Majesty, today is a good day to move to the new palace. Don't disturb the elegant mood of housewarming because of a villain."

Emperor Jiajing waved his robe sleeves: "Oh, clothes are not as good as new, people are not as good as old. I have lived in Yongshou Palace for 20 years, forget it, I won't move!"

His Highness Zhang Juzheng, who was kneeling, thought to himself when he heard the words: Hai Rui is really right!On a whim, the emperor asked the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Industry to raise 200 million taels of silver and 200 taels of civilian husbands to build the Longevity Palace.It's so easy to fix it, if you can't live in it, you won't live in it!If I knew this earlier, what would I do with the Longevity Palace? It would directly save 200 million national funds!If the cabinet had the [-] million taels of silver for emergency a few years ago, tens of thousands of people would not have starved to death in the snowstorm in Beizhili!
When all the ministers in the palace heard that the emperor would not move to the palace, they all had the same thoughts as Zhang Juzheng.

Hai Rui said: "Officials and common people in the world are not worth your majesty's time." What he said is true.

The ministers withdrew from the main hall of Yongshou Palace and were about to disperse and go home.

But Xu Jie shouted: "No one is allowed to leave! They all go to the Xiyuan cabinet to watch the house, write a defense note, and state that they have nothing to do with Hai Rui!"

A group of officials followed Xu Jie to Xiyuan to watch the house.

He Liu hurriedly found Liu Da, the commander of the East Factory, and the handover of the criminal Hai Rui.He was afraid that things would change over time, and that fellow Chen Hong might secretly murder Hai Rui in Dongchang.

The room for the supervision of ceremonies.

Chen Hong and Lu Fang sat opposite each other.

Chen Hong smiled sinisterly: "Congratulations to godfather, congratulations to godfather. Our chance to be the supervisor has come!"

Lu Fang said, "Where does joy come from?"

Chen Hongdao: "The emperor asked me and my godfather to investigate Hai Rui's backstage. Heh, as far as I know, Hai Rui was recommended by Tan Lun, a disciple of King Yu, to be the county magistrate in Chun'an, Zhejiang! His direct boss Zhao Zhenji in the household department It's Xu Jie's student again—Hai Rui is actually from King Yu's side. Who instructed him to write this book, isn't it self-explanatory?"

Lu Fang was surprised and said: "You mean... move King Yu?"

Chen Hong nodded: "Godfather, think about it. After we took power in the past two years, we have formed countless conflicts with Xu, Gao, Zhang and King Yu! If King Yu succeeds smoothly, we will have a good life." Do you want to eat fruit? Fortunately, in the Ming Dynasty, not only princes can succeed to the throne. If King Yu commits a major crime of treason, hey, let’s support another young and ignorant prince. Then even if the emperor travels westward with a crane, our glory and wealth can be preserved for a long time !"

Lu Fang knew that what Chen Hong said was true.The day Yu Wang succeeds to the throne is the time when Lu Fang loses his power.

Lu Fang thought about it carefully, and then said: "Then... just do as you want."

Lu Fang ignored one thing.The reason why Yan Song and his son fell from power at the beginning was because they framed King Yu to transfer troops privately!
