- Feng Bao stopped.
King Yu was shocked: "Why did Shi Zhen say this?"
Feng Bao also screamed in surprise and couldn't help but ask: "Master Wu, this and this The government and the opposition have something to say. Hai Rui's letter is a complete denial of the forty years of my reign. It is a concerted effort, internal and external collusion." , a premeditated attempt to invade the palace, and the finger pointed at my palace intentionally or unintentionally. It was too late for the prince to avoid suspicion, but he took the initiative to go to Xiyuan this time. In the eyes of interested people, wouldn¡¯t it be confirmed that this invasion of the palace was ordered by the prince? "
King Yu was also shocked: "Yes, Feng Bao is right."
Feng Bao pointed out the crux of the matter in just a few words, and Wu Jie was impressed. I can¡¯t help but think, it seems that there are really talents among the eunuchs! The eunuchs with positions who came out of the inner study hall are not inferior to ordinary Jinshi in terms of true talent and learning. And after many years of experience in the palace, a place of intrigue and intrigue, human affairs are much better than those of officials who study hard.
No wonder that at the end of the Ming Dynasty, civil servants suffered such a miserable defeat in their struggle with eunuchs.
Wu Jiedie nodded: "What Feng Baoqian said is indeed reasonable, but it is all based on common sense. Now is an extraordinary period, and extraordinary means should be used in extraordinary times. For example, if the hundreds of officials forced the palace this time were really ordered by the prince, this time You should just hide behind the scenes and watch what happens, and how could you possibly send it to your door? Can the prince stay in the palace and do nothing to clear himself of the suspicion? "
King Yu fell into deep thought.
Wu Jie continued: "The current matter is to calm down this incident as soon as possible. The prince can go there personally to persuade. As long as the prince can persuade the officials to disperse, doesn't it just mean that the prince is open-minded and has nothing to do with this matter? State affairs? The corruption has reached this point, and the prince cannot hide or escape. Otherwise, if the situation is allowed to develop, it will be out of control."
"So. Wu Jie thinks that the prince should go over and persuade the officials to retreat. It would be better if he can offer some excuse."
"But" King Yu still hesitated: "I am just a vassal king. According to the rules of the Ming Dynasty, vassal kings are not allowed to interfere in political affairs. Isn't this inappropriate?"
This Prince Yu is really a bitch-tempered, and Wu Jie is also anxious. I couldn't help laughing.
King Yu looked at Wu Jie in astonishment: "Why is Shizhen laughing?"
It seemed that relying on conventional methods could not convince Prince Yu. Wu Jie also took the risk, put away his smile, and said seriously: "Your Majesty is wrong, very wrong. Although our dynasty does not establish a crown prince, it is because there are two dragons. A motto for meeting each other. But in the minds of your majesty and all the officials, the prince has already been regarded as the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty. When establishing a prince, the Tian family pays attention to virtue. Virtue is moral character, and the quality of the prince is as good as gold and jade; conduct. It is the ability to do things; nature, absolute, the mountain collapses before it. Solid steel cannot capture the spirit of ambition."
"The prince's character is high and pure. He is praised by the government and the public. But because he has never dealt with any specific government affairs, the words "conduct and sex" are not known to anyone. I'm afraid. Even His Majesty has some hesitation in his heart. "
"This matter is related to a major change in the government. It is the time for the prince to show his character. If it is handled well, it will have a different weight in His Majesty's mind."
Wu Jie touched the beard on his lips, stood up, and bowed his head: "Your Majesty, Wu Jie is a close minister of the Emperor. These words should not have been said. Please punish me!"
"Youyou are so brave!" King Yu slapped the coffee table hard, causing the teacups on the table to jingle.
Feng Bao next to him was also shocked and his face turned pale.
"Wu Jie's words are already in the category of imperial magic, and trying to figure out the emperor's thoughts in vain is already a capital crime.
There are some things that we can¡¯t say we should do, but we understand each other. But he didn't expect Wu Jie to be so bold and tell the truth completely.
How could King Yu not be surprised, he immediately subconsciously shouted harshly.
Wu Jie raised his head and looked at King Yu without fear: "The national affairs are like this, and the country is like this. Wu Jie can no longer care about his fortune and misfortune. Please make your decision."
King Yu wanted to say something more, but the hand he raised in the air fell softly.
After a long time, he helped Wu Jie up and sighed: "Shizhen, Shizhen My heart is already in turmoil This time I am going to see the officials who are forcing me to go to the palace Those officials are all clean-blooded, and they are not easy to persuade. Yeah, you have more truths than anyone else!"
When Wu Jie heard this, he breathed a long sigh of relief and felt sweat coming out of his vest.
After taking a breath: "Your Majesty, please tell me first how you plan to face the officials?"
The two of them didn't sit down, they just stood in the room talking.
King Yu thought for a while and then said: "This time, hundreds of officials are forcing the palace. To be honest, it is not because they want to ask for the salary arrears. If it doesn't work, I have to sacrifice the family for the country. I will use hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to make up for this shortfall." .¡±
Wu Jie smiled and shook his head:"Your Majesty is wrong again. There is a saying that goes like this: Loyalty to the emperor depends on eating the emperor's salary. The prince is not a king, so how can he go beyond his power to pay salaries to the officials? What are his intentions?"
Prince Yu's face turned completely pale, and he repeatedly raised his hands: "Shizhen teaches me."
Wu Jie: "In a word, cry!"
Wu Jie has been thinking about this method for a long time. In his opinion, King Yu is poor in both ability and intelligence, but he is generous and has a strong personality.
This aspect is a bit like Liu Bei in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
Wu Jie whispered: "Your Majesty, all you have to do is cry when you meet the officials later. When the time comes, the Qingliu people will naturally be moved by your character and disperse."
After saying that, he explained clearly what he should do next.
Then he hurriedly said goodbye, got into a sedan chair and hurried back to Xiyuan.
When we arrived at the gate of Xiyuan, we saw that the officials were still kneeling on the snow outside the gate.
Xu Jie, Gao Gong, and Zhang Juzheng were all sitting on a horse, looking at everyone with regret and sadness on their faces.
Everyone was frozen with black noodles and trembling.
But Chen Hong stood at the gate with a sneer on his face and a fierce look on his face.
Wu Jie walked to Xu Jie and asked in a low voice: "Mr. Ge, is your majesty awake?"
Xu Jie nodded bitterly: "Long Live has been awakened, but he didn't come out"
At this time, the Qingliu people began to make a fuss: "We want to see His Majesty."
"You are a fool, you are a fool!"
¡¡
There were some people who really couldn't stand the cold, so they stood up impatiently and wanted to rush inside.
Wu Jie hurriedly stretched out his hands: "Everyone calm down, everyone calm down."
Everyone looked back and saw several sedan chairs parked behind everyone.
King Yu got down from the sedan chair, walked quickly to the supervisory envoy, helped him up, and said: "I came to see you on the emperor's order, and the emperor is also thinking about you."
After saying that, he burst into tears.
It didn¡¯t matter that he was crying. The officials who had been kneeling on the snow for three or four hours couldn¡¯t help crying loudly.
For a time, the sky and the earth were filled with howls.
Wu Jie kept a careful eye and looked carefully at the people below, and found that several people were not crying, but on the contrary, they had a look of defeat on their faces.
He looked back at Chen Hong again, and Chen Hong's complexion turned extremely pale.
Wu Jie also knew these people as members of the Yan Party. It seemed that this farce had something to do with them.
Xu Jie, who was beside Wu Jie, breathed out a sigh of relief: "It's great that King Yu is here. It really didn't disappoint."
"Zhang Juzheng and Gao Gong both looked at each other, and then the joy on their faces flashed away.
It was not an option to continue crying like this. Wu Jie took a step forward and quietly pushed Wang Yu from behind.
King Yu finally came to his senses, stretched out his hand to wipe away his tears, took a breath and said, "I want to say something, I hope you all will listen carefully."
He glanced at everyone, and his eyes seemed to look at everyone without missing a single detail.
When things have developed now, it is already four o'clock in the afternoon Beijing time, and the sky is getting darker. It gets dark very early in Beijing, and red lanterns have been lit on the tower behind.
The snowflakes are still falling slowly, as if they will never stop.
Pieces of white snow were also printed red by the lights, flashing in the air, and then blown away by the cold wind.
Several cabinet ministers behind King Yu tightened their bodies and stood up. After sitting for a long time, they also became stiff.
King Yu spoke unhappily, but each word was very clear: "The sage said, everyone in the world has a bad parent. By extension, there is a king and a father in the world. My great ancestor, Emperor Gao, taught all officials to judge. It was also said during the lawsuit that when a father sues, the fault lies with the son and not the father; when a brother sues, the fault lies with the younger brother but not the elder. This is also the reason why the Ming Dynasty protected the hundreds of subjects and only had one emperor and father, and the people of the hundreds of ministers worshiped There is only one king and father here. I would like to build a place for you to live in peace and quiet in the world. You should not make trouble at this time."
This passage talks about Jiajing¡¯s misappropriation of money from the treasury to build palaces and temples. This is a great truth and irrefutable. These more than a hundred officials from the Qing Dynasty were used to being labeled as sages and sages in their daily lives. Today, they could only accept it when they heard the prince say this truth.
King Yu continued: "As for the treasury being empty and the people being hungry and cold, thisThis fault is first of all my fault, the fault of the cabinet, and the fault of the officials of the Six Ministries and Jiuqing Hall. It is definitely not the fault of your father. Today, in front of the cabinet ministers, I admit my mistake to you and the people of the world. "
After saying that, he bowed deeply to everyone.
Tears dripped down his face and onto the snow, dripping a few drops on the ground.
Xu Jie, Zhang Juzheng and others also bowed down, so Wu Jie naturally followed suit.
At this time, the officials who had just put away their sorrow began to cry loudly and knelt on the ground.
The imperial envoy of the Overwatch Council was so excited that he was trembling all over: "No, no, no, the fault is not your prince's fault, it's my fault. Old ministerI will go home and write a note to apologize to His Majesty!"
"We are willing to apologize to Your Majesty!"
Everyone stood up one after another, turned and left.
Zhang Juzheng whispered in Wu Jie's ear: "Master Wu has done a great job!"
Wu Jie felt proud. Indeed, what King Yu just said was what he taught him. He didn't expect the effect to be so good.
Just as he was about to say something modest, he saw a Taoist robe flash past on the tower over there.
Wu Jie was shocked: "It's Emperor Jiajing."
