"--His Majesty!"
At this time, no one expected that the Grand Tutor would be the first person to stand up. He had just finished watching Episode 39 and was planning to let the ministers share their thoughts when the Grand Tutor's words stunned him for a moment and he immediately asked:
"What do you want to report, Master?"
"The most important thing, Your Majesty, I dare to hope that Your Majesty will put our Great Yan State first." The Grand Tutor was always serious and stern, but this time he was more serious than any other time before, and immediately said:
"I know that Your Majesty is not interested in women, is devoted to the country, and is diligent and frugal. The people of Dayan have Your Majesty as their king and father, which is truly a blessing for all the people."
"However, the prosperous era of Great Yan is fraught with dangers. There is a major hidden danger under the Imperial Palace, and the country cannot be without a ruler for a day. I, an old minister, dare to ask Your Majesty to have a son and an heir as soon as possible, so as to ensure the safety of future generations of Great Yan!"
Emperor Da Yan: “?”
What? Why is it time to urge me to have a baby? The Great Yan Emperor was unable to react to the Taifu's train of thought for a moment. He had not had a child and had not appointed a crown prince. Wasn't it because he was afraid that if he had offspring, the throne would be firmly secured?
As long as he doesn't have a child, he can always give up the throne to his brother. But if he has a son and is tied to him, he will have no hope of escaping the throne! The Master should be very clear about this, right?
However, just when the Great Yan Emperor was confused, all the officials reacted immediately, and immediately knelt down to pay their respects, each with a louder voice than the other, shouting in unison:
"I hope Your Majesty will put our Great Yan country first! Have a son and an heir soon, and appoint a crown prince soon!" XN
Your Majesty, please sit firmly on this throne and do not stand up. At this moment, all the officials of Great Yan had only this voice in their hearts. The scene now made the Great Yan emperor dumbfounded, but Wei Yanwu, who had been listening behind the scenes and hiding in the dark, also heard it clearly.
"Now, you should understand why I am willing to play the role of the emperor and even work so hard, right? My dear brother."
But the confusion lasted only for a moment. Soon, Wei Yanwu felt a sense of comfort rising from the bottom of his heart. The scene in the hall made Wei Yanwu very clear that he was getting further and further away from the throne that he didn't want to sit on at all.
PS: Today is the third chapter! (It’s almost 5k words again. I will update the new climax for you tomorrow. Please support me. I’m tired and paralyzed for a while...)
Volume 324: Chapter : Hai Rui’s memorial—During Jiajing’s reign, every family is clean!
"I know you are anxious, but now, the country of Da Yan rests on my shoulders."
However, facing the officials kneeling in the hall, who seemed to be unwilling to stand up unless he expressed his opinion, the Great Yan Emperor, who had dealt with similar situations several times before, wiped off his cold sweat and responded skillfully:
"I know that my intelligence is mediocre, and my military and literary skills are not comparable to those of the previous emperor. I am ashamed to sit on this throne. Since I took power, I have been trembling with fear every day, just to ensure that the Great Yan Dynasty will not be defeated. When I ascended the throne, I did not even appoint a queen, for fear that trivial matters would delay state affairs."
The Emperor of Great Yan was half false in what he said. He felt that he was mediocre in intelligence. After all, compared with his brother, he was not outstanding. But he did not establish a queen not because he was afraid of delaying state affairs, but out of jealousy of Wei Yanwu.
After all, he knew clearly about the mutual support between Madam Wenyue and Wei Yanwu even in the palace. However, facing the fact that this life that should have belonged to him was now won by his brother, it was impossible for him to say that he had no regrets in his heart.
Therefore, the Emperor of Dayan intended to follow the example of his royal brother and marry a woman he truly loved as his queen, but he certainly would not tell the officials the reason he had given.
As the brother's common teacher, the Grand Tutor was naturally very clear about this matter. However, when the Great Yan Emperor said this, the Grand Tutor was the first to stand up and say:
"Your Majesty, the country cannot be without a ruler for a day. Your Majesty should appoint a crown prince as soon as possible and train future rulers for our Great Yan. This is also a top priority."
"Your Majesty should remember the warning of "The Great Yan Dynasty 1566" and the precedent of Emperor Jiajing. Please leave descendants and train them as soon as possible. Don't let the Great Yan Dynasty be handed over to a king like Jiajing."
As he spoke, the Grand Tutor was aware of being the first to bear the brunt of the consequences, and he took the lead in bowing deeply to the Emperor of Dayan. All the officials behind him, who were reminded of what he was thinking, knelt down again in great agreement.
Yes, everyone was afraid, afraid that Chen Qi’s warning would be verified. The Emperor of Dayan himself had asked Chen Qi more than once whether all this was the future of Dayan, but he had never received a clear answer from Chen Qi.
Chen Qi himself held a "rigorous" attitude. After all, even if others didn't know, he knew that Terra's Dayan must have been sutured, and because YJ had always sewed up what needed to be sewed, he didn't dare to guarantee whether an emperor like Jiajing would appear in Dayan in the future.
But Chen Qi's ambiguous attitude, in the eyes of Dayan's officials and the emperor, was really a panic-level prophecy. Especially since the background of Chen Qi's play was the outbreak of the crisis between "Sui" and the behemoth, and two dragons died in this disaster, and 80% of Dayan's army was destroyed... This was in line with Dayan's internal estimates. Logically speaking, if Chen Qi did not have futuristic vision, how could he have guessed so accurately?
How to verify all this? How to avoid it? The idea of the officials and the imperial tutor is very simple, that is, let the Emperor of Da Yan have an heir first!
Now that the Emperor of Dayan has an heir, they no longer have to worry about the emperor running away. Then Wei Yanwu and Wen Yue can have children without worry.
At that time, it would all depend on whether the first child of Wei Yanwu and Wen Yue was a boy or a girl, and what his talent was. If it was really a boy, and happened to be incredibly talented, then the ministers would have to believe that this child was the future Emperor Jiajing in Chen Qi's play!
Now that there is such a warning, this child is definitely not related to the throne. This is why they urged the Great Yan Emperor to have an heir as soon as possible.
As long as the Emperor of Dayan had children first, Wei Yanwu's descendants would have no chance of succession, and Dayan would never fall into the hands of Jiajing. And as long as there was enough time to train the new army, the absurd and sad script of 1566 would never be repeated in Dayan!
In this way, the crisis of Dayan will be resolved, and Dayan can rest assured that the next generation will most likely be a wise ruler, rather than a greedy ruler who forced Liberi to the fore. It will kill two birds with one stone!
Therefore, Your Majesty, please give birth to a baby as soon as possible!
"Haha, now you understand, right? Do you think you can avoid this by not having a baby? Now all the officials are begging you to have a baby. In the future, I'm afraid that the people of Dayan will urge you to have a baby."
Now Old Wei closed his eyes tightly and recalled all the sad things in his life, and then he suppressed his joyful mood of laughing out loud. The request of the officials was just what he wanted, and Wei Yanwu was happy to do it.
He had no intention of taking the throne. Knowing the horror of politics and the royal family, he did not want his descendants to be involved in disputes. For example, although Chen Huijie and Talullah were both titled "County Lady" in name, Wei Yanwu did not want them to enter the government at all.
As for whether his biological child is the future Jiajing... Wei Yanwu does not worry about this. As long as he and Wen Yue are alive, he is confident that he can teach the child well and prevent him from being as suspicious, greedy, and tyrannical as Jiajing.
If it really doesn't work, and Chen Qi is still around, Wei Yanwu can hand the child over to Chen Qi and Xiaota. When he joins the crew, there will be basically no reason for his younger brother to get involved in Dayan's state affairs.
"This is a good thing for us, but it is somewhat bad for His Majesty."
At this moment, also behind the scenes, Wen Yue knew that if all this could be achieved, their family could completely say goodbye to the political quagmire. But she knew even more clearly that if the worries of the Great Yan Emperor were not resolved, they would not be able to have peace.
What happened to Edward in the past cannot be repeated again. If they want the Emperor of Dayan to secure his position, they must try their best to satisfy his other wishes.
"My brother has always been worried about his life." Wei Yanwu naturally knew the real reason why neither of them wanted to sit on the throne, but now he didn't care at all. Instead, he said easily:
"But now it seems that my brother doesn't need to worry about this. As long as Chen Qi is around, I'm afraid the twelve fragments of 'Years' will never be complete."
"I believe that boy can control Nian and Xi. Now, all the 'Sui', led by Zhongyue, have been pardoned under the instigation of that boy. Now, the only thing we have to worry about is the second brother."
"As for the matter of the Queen..." When it comes to this, Wei Yanwu is a little helpless. He certainly knows the reason why his brother does not have a Queen, but he really has no good solution.
According to Emperor Dayan's idea of finding his own queen, the best way is to find someone to help him "regent the country" for a period of time. Who else can this person be except Wei Yanwu?
But the problem was that Wei Yanwu was also worried that if he took the initiative to bring up this matter, his term as "acting regent" would become lifelong, and by then his posthumous title had already been decided, which would be "Yan Daizong".
Finally, Wei Yanwu had no choice but to smoke a cigarette in silence, and then asked Wen Yue beside him tentatively:
"...Wenyue, do you have any sisters? When the time comes, can you introduce one to my brother?"
Wen Yue: "...Let's just watch the show."
However, Wen Yue did not take her stupid husband's joke seriously, but just turned her gaze to the big screen behind the scenes again. Now, they were "ruling from behind the curtain" here, and it was also a little trick of the Great Yan Emperor, and they dared not disobey.
Now, while the emperor and his ministers were still arguing, the videotape of "The Great Yan Dynasty" had been quietly playing up to the 41st episode, and everyone knew that this episode would be the last big drama before the end of "The Great Yan Dynasty" without any unexpected incident.
Hai Rui, played by Chen Huijie, finally reached the limit of his patience. He had long wanted to submit a memorial to Jiajing, hoping that his strong medicine could cure Da Yan's heart disease, but he did not dare to do it because of his concerns.
Now, Chen Huijie has sent away all her family members and entrusted them to the care of Li Shizhen, played by Jiuselu. She has also made up her mind to let Jiajing see her memorial when all the officials send congratulatory messages for Jiajing's relocation.
Hai Rui was sure that Jiajing would just read through most of the previous congratulatory memorials without even reading them. For this reason, she was cunning enough to seal her own memorial with brown paper and submit it last, not wanting to wait until Zhao Zhenji, played by Ling, came to urge her to do so.
The auspicious time was approaching, and Chen Hong, played by Lin Qingyan, was becoming more and more anxious. He could not help but complain to Xu Jie and Gao Gong. Finally, Zhao Zhenji appeared in front of everyone holding Hai Rui's congratulatory letter in his hand.
"The congratulatory message is here! The congratulatory message is here!"
Almost in an instant, when Ling came to Yuxi Palace holding the congratulatory letter, gasping for breath and unable to stand steadily, Chen Hong, played by Lin Qingyan, grabbed the letter from Zhao Zhenji's hand, and all the worried officials breathed a sigh of relief.
The next moment, Chen Hong slid down to his knees quickly and came to Jiajing. He respectfully presented the congratulatory letter in his hand and said with relief:
"Your Majesty, the whole world is celebrating. Hai Rui has also presented this congratulatory letter!"
"It's still half a minute before the auspicious time." Huang Jin, played by Taihe, also reminded with relief that if Hai Rui had submitted this congratulatory letter later, Jiajing's relocation would really not be finalized.
Everyone in the play also knows that Hai Rui is the person who has the greatest dissatisfaction with Jiajing. The previous inscription of "Liubiju" has already made Jiajing extremely concerned about the name Hai Rui, and it is indeed a fortunate thing that Hai Rui can submit the congratulatory message truthfully this time.
Jiajing, who originally thought that Hai Rui would confront him to the end, was a little surprised when he saw the congratulatory letter in Chen Hong's hand, but his expression visibly eased a little, thinking that Hai Gangfeng was a man who knew how to deal with the current situation and did not confront him, the emperor and father, to the end.
However, Chen Hong, who was standing by, took the torn kraft paper, and his expression changed slightly - how could the congratulatory letter be sealed?
But at this moment, when Chen Hong reacted, it was too late. As the camera moved, Jiajing clearly saw that the thing in his hand was not a congratulatory letter, but "Respectfully presented by Hai Rui, the Director of the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Personnel".
What randomly rang in everyone's ears was Chen Huijie's calm and solemn recitation, and the content of the memorial gradually quieted down everyone in the originally noisy hall...
"To speak the truth is the most important thing in the world, to rectify the way of the ruler, clarify the duties of the ministers, and seek peace and order for all eternity."
"The king is the master of all the people and all things in the world. As the master of all the people and all things in the world, the responsibility is extremely heavy. If the ministers speak their mind, the king will be praised. I have received great favors from the country. Please stick to the principle of not hiding anything and speak for Your Majesty with all your heart."
"Your Majesty is a man of great talent and wisdom. In the early years of his reign, he eliminated the accumulated abuses and made a fresh start for the world."
After reading this, Jiajing's expression remained good. Except for Theresis, Theresia and Emperor Ursus who had a deeper understanding of the Great Yan language, most of the rulers of various countries were confused, but they could still hear that these words should be praise for achievements.
However, all the Dayan censors who had been in the officialdom for a long time fully understood that this was just a necessary compliment for a minister who spoke frankly before giving his opinions.
As expected, after praising the achievements, Chen Huijie's words suddenly changed, and he continued with a regretful tone:
"He was not sharp for long, and his delusions led him away. He devoted himself to the study of the mysteries, and enriched the world. He did not think that the people's fat depended on him, but indulged in construction projects. He did not attend court for more than 20 years, and the discipline was relaxed."
"Officials are corrupt and weak, and the people are living in misery. Taxes and labor service are increasing, and the houses are empty."
"Inverted!"
"Inverted!!"
Finally, the more he watched, the more frightened he became, the angrier he became, and he felt that his fig leaf had been ruthlessly torn off, so Jiajing completely exploded.
The roar of a real dragon resounded at this moment, and even through the screen, it made all the officials of Dayan kneel down in an instant like the officials in the play!
The scattered memorials matched Jiajing's frantic expression, and the only response to everyone was a murderous remark from Hai Rui, played by Chen Huijie:
"The world immediately followed your majesty's change of reign title and speculated that 'Jiajing means that every household is clean and has no money to spend'."
In an instant, Chen Huijie's words echoed in every palace watching "The Great Yan Dynasty 1566". Now, facing these words that were enough to make any king so angry that he would vomit blood, it truly made everyone realize again how fearless the ministers of Great Yan were.
To dare to speak so bluntly was unprecedented in the history of Terra. Although it was called blunt speaking, in fact, for any king, it was no different from pointing fingers and scolding.
"Just this memorial alone...if nothing else is said, it can be called 'the best memorial in the world'."
"Your Majesty, this drama is worth making. It's really worth it."
And now, when Wei Yanwu watched this scene again, he couldn't help but slowly close his eyes and sighed sincerely. Now, based on this scene alone, Wei Yanwu is not worried at all that this drama will disappear in the future of Dayan.
This drama will become an unavoidable part of Dayan, and a "compulsory course" that all officials, princes, and even the emperor himself must appreciate. In the future, the fictional era of "Jiajing" will also become a synonym for the "era of shame" within Dayan.
From then on in Dayan, any mention of "Jiajing" would make any ministers and kings alert, because no one wanted the words "every family is clean" to appear during their reign.
PS: First chapter today!
Volume 325: Chapter : Crazy Jiajing, the fear engraved into the bones of all officials
"Yan Song was dismissed and Shifan was executed, which was satisfactory to the public. However, after Yan Song was dismissed, things were still the same as before he became prime minister."
"People in the world have been disloyal to Your Majesty for a long time."
Finally, as the last words of Hai Rui, played by Chen Huijie, slowly fell, the Dayan Palace, the Ursus Palace, the Londinium Sakaz Office Building... where the rulers of various countries were located, were all shocked by the words in the memorial and dared not speak a word.
In an instant, all the kings were confused. If they were facing this scene, if Hai Rui was scolding them, how would they respond? How would they refute?
However, after thinking about it in silence, all the kings came to a conclusion - there was no other way. In this situation, if they wanted to redeem their dignity and reputation as kings, there was only one way, and that was to kill Hai Rui!
"But killing Hai Rui can only be regarded as stopping the loss in time."
Meanwhile, in Rhodes Island, Kal'tsit and Amiya have been in the Great Yan territory during this time, dealing with the problem of infected people caused by natural disasters. During the time when Huang and Jiuselu and other operators were loaned to Chen Qi for filming, Kal'tsit and others have also been in the Great Yan territory, constantly shuttling between various disaster-stricken areas, assisting the Great Yan officials in the disaster relief work that they most want to do but have no idea how to start.
A year has passed, and now Rhodes Island has gained some reputation among local officials in Da Yan. And it is not only Rhodes Island's philosophy that supports their actions, Kal'tsit is acting for a purpose.
"Rhodes Island alone is not enough to save everyone on this land... This important task must start with one country. At the very least, we must pass on this seed of hope to as many people as possible."
"We will go back to Theresa sooner or later, but before we go back, we must find a country that can protect the seeds of hope. Da Yan is our best choice."
Kal'tsit had been trying to gain the support of various officials in Da Yan as much as possible, and to improve Rhodes Island's reputation in the Da Yan court as much as possible, for her ultimate goal. But all this is a story for later.
During this period, Kelsey and Amiya have been paying attention to the development of "The Great Yan Dynasty" filmed by Chen Qi. It must be said that Chen Qi's drama once again allowed Kelsey to find a good teaching material for Amiya.
This "The Great Yan Dynasty" is different from "Yes, Prime Minister". Although both are about politics, the Great Yan Dynasty is obviously more focused on the big picture and more detailed, which is more suitable for Kal'tsit to explain and analyze to Amiya step by step.
Even so, the memorial written by Chen Qi in this episode and Hai Rui's words still had a great impact on Kal'tsit, because Kal'tsit knew that a memorial of this intensity from Hai Rui had never been seen before in the history of Great Yan.
"Emperor Jiajing, no matter how much he values his reputation, he shouldn't kill Hai Rui, right?" Amiya was a little reluctant. With Kal'tsit's help, she understood the meaning of the public security memorial, but when she heard that only by killing Hai Rui could the emperor's dignity be preserved, she couldn't help but ask:
"This is the kind of frank words that only a loyal minister would write. The Jiajing Emperor is such a smart man, even if he was furious because of Hai Rui's rebellion, he should be able to control himself, right? Shouldn't he be able to distinguish between loyal and treacherous ministers?"
“No, because once this memorial is published, its meaning has become completely different.” Kal’tsit shook her head and explained word by word under Amiya’s gaze:
"'Every household is clean and has no money to spend', the moment these words were spoken, the king was doomed to be defined as a 'tyrant'. No matter how hard he tried to cover up or distance himself from the matter, the historian would record this memorial in the long river of history."
"Jiajing spent half his life in business, and he was so greedy that he wanted everything in the country to give way to him as long as it was related to himself and becoming a giant beast. However, he could shamelessly say that he was 'thrifty' because he never took responsibility."
"If there are mistakes, it is the ministers who are responsible. If there are achievements, it is Jiajing's credit. Whether it is Yan Song, Xu Jie, Zhao Zhenji... the ministers all cater to Jiajing's ideas. But now, because of this memorial, Jiajing's hope of leaving a false reputation in history has been completely shattered."
In summary, it is no wonder that Jiajing was so mad and angry. The moment Hai Rui's "Public Security Memorial" came out, it would undoubtedly become a stain on Jiajing's life, upending his reputation as a "wise ruler" that he had built up throughout his life.
Although it seems that the officials in the play all know Jiajing's true nature, in fact, from the memorials submitted by hundreds of officials to the cabinet and Hai Rui's tears in his eyes when reading Jiajing's imperial edict in Zhejiang City, we can also get a glimpse that the image Jiajing created for himself was actually very deceptive and quite successful.
To many low-ranking officials and even to many ordinary people, Jiajing was a wise ruler, but he was blinded by treacherous ministers in power. Even Hai Rui was deceived by this.
Under Jiajing's management, the officialdom of Dayan became "Sima Zhao's intentions are known to everyone", just like before Cao Mao was killed, Sima Zhao's reputation was not completely ruined among the people of Wei. As long as no one dared to expose Jiajing's fig leaf, Jiajing's reputation in history would be completely different.
But now, Hai Rui has lifted the fig leaf, exposing Jiajing nakedly to the world. Jiajing is angry, annoyed, and frightened, to the point that he has even gone insane.
