Chapter 102

In Yunge Inn, a thin man sat by the window holding a copy of "Xunzi" in his hand, reading it very seriously. Occasionally, he would look at a place he didn't understand and would turn his head and think for a while, and then continue reading it after he figured it out.

"Squeak..." The door was pushed open, and an old man came into the room.

The old man closed the door with his backhand and said, "Prince, he went to He's mansion and said something to Mrs. He."

"Oh?" The thin man turned the book over a page without raising his head, and asked, "What did he say?"

Yunge Inn is not big in the capital, there are not many high-ranking officials and nobles living there, and there is only one prince. Then let’s King Xingxian and Zhu Youzhi. Since the thin man is Zhu Youzhi, the old man standing opposite him is naturally Uncle Fu.

Uncle Fu said: "Jiang Xia said to Mrs. He..."

If Jiang Xia were here, he would definitely be very surprised, because Uncle Fu almost repeated what he said to Mrs. He without missing a word, as if he was there at that time.

After hearing Uncle Fu's retelling Jiang Xia's words, Zhu Youze smiled faintly, and he nodded: "This is an extremely smart person, and he can see the key to the breakthrough at a glance."

"Maybe it wasn't what he saw, but maybe even if there were experts behind him," said Uncle Fu.

"Master?" Zhu Youzhi closed the book and raised his head and said, "You said Li Dongyang?"

"It is also possible that Li Dongyang is a powerful figure after going through Yingzong, Xianzong, Xiaozong and the current four dynasties. However, the older he is, the more famous he is, the more he is, the more he is, the more he is, the more he is, when doing things, I guess he will not give Jiang Xia nod to go to He's house to find Mrs. He at this moment of storm, so it is undeniable that Jiang Xia is also an interesting figure."

"What should I do now? He has come to Li Yun. If she is moved by Jiang Xia, then..." Uncle Fu said with concern.

"She can't be moved by Jiang Xia." Zhu Youma picked up the book "Xunzi" again, and while flipping through the book, he said: "How can a dead person be moved by a living person?"

"I understand." After saying that, Uncle Fu left the inn.

Zhu Youzhi continued to look through the book in his hand, and then the sunlight outside the window could see clearly. He was reading the evil nature of Xunzi. The first sentence at the beginning was "The evil nature of a person is, and the good is false."

This sentence means that human nature is actually evil, and those kind behaviors are just deliberately done by people. And this sentence seems to be more applicable to Zhu Youze.

Jiang Xia once speculated that the rumors in the market would soon be known by the civil and military officials in the court, and then the civil and military officials would put pressure on Zhu Houzhao. This guess is correct, but it is not true.

What is right is that all civil and military officials will naturally know it quickly, and they will naturally not tolerate the current situation getting worse and worse. But the wrong thing is that all civil and military officials will not put pressure on Zhu Houzhao together, and they dare not and will not do this. This kind of touching tiger's butt is obviously something that big people can do.

Who are the big men? Obviously, the seven ministers in the cabinet are the big men, but after Li Dongyang retired, there were only six ministers left in the cabinet. In order to make up the number of seven, the six ministers in the cabinet brought Mao Wenju together.

Some people may ask why we must make up the number seven. In fact, it is very simple. If everyone cannot decide in the end and need to vote, seven is the odd number to make the result.

The seven ministers went to the Ganqing Palace to ask for a meeting with Zhu Houzhao. Zhu Houzhao naturally knew the purpose of their arrival, so at the beginning, they all asked Zhang Yong to say that he was resting and did not meet with the seven ministers.

However, the seven ministers obviously made up their minds to meet Zhu Houzhao, so they waited outside the Ganqing Palace for more than two hours. Zhu Houzhao could not refuse and finally met the seven ministers.

After entering the Ganqing Palace, Yang Yiqing, a Grand Secretary of the Wuying Palace, first told Zhu Houzhao about the rumors in the market. Although his words were as tactful as possible, Zhu Houzhao was still furious.

"Bang!" Zhu Houzhao kicked the long case in front of him and shouted: "My affairs are tolerant? Zhang Yong!"

Zhang Yong, who was guarding outside the Ganqing Palace, immediately entered the palace and knelt on the ground: "I am here!"

"It is said that the commander of the Jinyiwei entered the palace to see the emperor. I want to ask him, what is the commander of the Jinyiwei who is used for? If he is incompetent, then go home and farm immediately, and don't block the capable people from doing the job for me."

"Yes!" Zhang Yong responded and immediately stepped down.

Zhu Houzhao glanced at the seven ministers and asked coldly: "How? Why do you come here today and insist on seeing me? Are you trying to ask if I am a good man and have any habit of splitting my sleeves? "

Zhu Houzhao's words were filled with murderous aura. It can be imagined that if anyone said "yes" at this time, the next result would be that the head would fall to the ground.

The seven ministers dared not stand there, and they all knelt down together and said in unison: "I have no intention of this. I am afraid, and the emperor calms down."

Zhu Houzhao looked at the seven ministers coldly. He sat on the dragon throne with a golden sword, and asked, "Yang Yiqing, tell me, what is the purpose of coming today?"

Yang Yiqing took a deep breath, and after pondering for a moment, he said, "The market is full of fighting against the common people, ignorant, and only knows what others say. But the three of them become tigers, and the mouths of the whole people are soaked in gold. The mouths of the whole people are so full of gold. It is better to be distracted than to be blocked. It is not a good way to avoid the wise and wise men. I believe that Jiang Xia can be examined openly, and the laws and canons of the Ming Dynasty should be used to clarify the reputation of Your Majesty and the sages."

Yang Yiqing said something very skillfully. What he roughly means is, "The common people are ignorant, and some things that are not true will be passed on as they are passed on. In order not to make this matter more and more intense, they simply brought Jiang Xia out to interrogate them in public. This will make the law of the Ming Dynasty fair and the emperor's wise name not damaged."

This statement was basically what Zhu Houzhao said. He first said that the people were ignorant, which showed that he firmly believed that this matter was false. Then he came up with such an idea for Zhu Houzhao from Zhu Houzhao's perspective.

But Yang Yiqing didn't know that his words "openly trial" hit Zhu Houzhao's big taboo. If he was willing to bring Jiang Xia out for trial, how could there be so many things now?

Zhu Houzhao yelled: "Bastard!"

Yang Yiqing suddenly shook and his neck shrank.

Zhu Houzhao said angrily: "I am the king of a country, not the young wife of an ordinary family. My reputation still needs to be proved by pretending to behave? My reputation is to let them understand that the emperor's wrath is a million corpses and bleeding thousands of miles!"

"Your Majesty, think twice. As the saying goes, 'Your Majesty is like a boat, and the people are like water. Whoever can carry a boat can also cover..." Fei Hong opened his mouth in a hurry and said the famous saying of Emperor Taizong of Tang.

But he didn't understand that only the king could say such words, but not the ministers to the king. When Zhu Houzhao heard this, his eyes almost spit out of fire. He stood up and kicked Fei Hong to the ground without saying a word.

Zhu Houzhao squatted down and looked at Fei Hong and said, "What do you mean? What do you mean is to tell me, if I don't prove to them, will they dare to rebel against me? Are you threatening me?"

"The emperor calms his anger, the emperor calms his anger. I have no intention of this, no intention of this..." Fei Hong shouted in panic.

Zhu Houzhao snorted coldly, then stood up, he waved his hand and said, "Get out, I don't want to see you."

"Emperor..." Liu Zhong was about to say something, but Zhu Houzhao suddenly yelled: "Get out!"

"I'm going to leave." After saying that, the seven ministers left one after another.

After leaving the Ganqing Palace, Cao Yuan couldn't help but say, "The emperor has his own ideas. My emperor is wise. Why do you have to let the emperor general Jiang Xia public trial and anger the dragon's power, so it's not worth it."

"That's it. Don't let me get involved in this kind of thing in the future." Liang Chu also said.

He was scared to death just now, as if Fei Hong, who had just returned from the Ghost Gate, had not spoken. However, Yang Yiqing couldn't help but say, "What? You have enjoyed all the great emperor's grace, but now you have to watch the emperor be slandered by everyone in the world?"

"The clear one is clear, and the turbid one is turbid. After all, this matter is also the emperor's own business. We must say more." Jin Gui said lightly, and then left.

Mao Wenju glanced at the six of them, sneered and left.

However, his sneer made Yang Yiqing and the other six turn red. After all, the six of them are representatives of civil servants. At this moment, they are arguing in front of Mao Wenju, a representative of military officers, and it seems like they are a little infighting.

At this moment, outside the Right Ye Gate of the Palace, Jiang Xia was standing there and entangled with the palace guards.

Jiang Xia first took a large amount of treasure money to bribe the guards, indicating that he wanted to see the emperor and asked for a message. The guards did not agree and did not dare to collect the treasure money.

Then Jiang Xia took out the East Factory Spy token given to him by Liu Jin to show the guards. Although the guards were shocked, they still did not let Jiang Xia in.

Finally, Jiang Xia suddenly remembered, and he took out a token from his wallet and showed it to the guards.

It was also a copper token with the words "Leopard Room Tianzi No. 1" written on it.

Seeing this token, the guards immediately knelt on one knee and saluted: "See the Emperor."

"Ah?" Jiang Xia was slightly stunned: "So this token belongs to the second child."

However, when he thought about it, Jiang Xia felt relieved. He heard from Zhang Yong that Zhu Houzhao liked leopard rooms more than the palace. He often said that leopard rooms were his home, and the person who could use "Tianzi No. 1" as a token was naturally Zhu Houzhao.

Jiang Xia immediately said, "Okay, since you have seen this token, you will know that the emperor and I know each other. Take me to see the emperor quickly. I have something to discuss with the emperor."

"Yes, my subordinates obeyed the order." One of the guards responded and immediately stood up to lead Jiang Xia into the palace.
