Chapter Five Hundred and Twenty-Five The Great Manager [1 More]
Seeing that the emperor let go, Chen Ding breathed a sigh of relief and bowed to the emperor: "Your Majesty's wise!"
The other people, such as Wang Yangming and Yang Yiqing, just glanced at Chen Ding. They said this earlier that they were not asking for Han Li, Sun Zhong and others for pleading for mercy, but were just forced to Chen Ding.
Now that I have made a decision today, Yang Yiqing, Wang Yangming and others have bid farewell to the emperor.
In the imperial study, Han Li, who was originally left in the study to reflect on his mistakes because the emperor was furious, Sun Zhong and others were already a little frightened after encouragement from each other, but as everyone said and said, they gradually became more and more convinced that the emperor and Chu Yi did not dare to do anything to them at all.
"Everyone, we are all old ministers of several dynasties. Unless your Majesty lacks his reputation, he will not dare to do anything to me at all."
"Yes, so what if Chu Yi is? As long as we have not committed a heinous crime, can he still deal with us with false charges?"
"Tsk tsk, Chu Yi has always claimed to convince people with reason. Since that's the case, if he wants to deal with us, he must show our evidence of our crimes. Why do you fear it!"
"Hahaha……"
Several old ministers were smiling, and there was no such fear as the emperor was furious before.
A sound of footsteps came, and then an eunuch walked into the imperial study room. The eunuch was a confidant of the emperor and was ordered to come and pass the order.
The eunuch Dong Yuan is quite familiar with these old men in the imperial study room. He originally thought that these old men must have looked frightened at this moment.
But when Dong Yuan walked into the imperial study room, he happened to hear Sun Zhong, Han Li and others laughing happily there, which made Dong Yuan feel a little curious. Could it be that these old men were scared crazy? Otherwise, they would be left in the imperial study room because they angered the emperor, so why would they still laugh so happily?
When Sun Zhong, Han Li and others looked up and saw Dong Yuan, they snorted coldly, with a hint of disdain in their eyes.
In the eyes of Han Li, Sun Zhong and others, the eunuchs in this inner world were all treacherous people who bewitched the emperor, and the biggest and most damn one was Chu Yi.
So there is no favoritism towards Dong Yuan, Sun Zhong, Han Li, and others, while Dong Yuan ignored the attitudes of these people.
These old ministers were veterans of several dynasties and were qualified to be in court. Under ordinary circumstances, even Zhu Houzhao was unwilling to provoke these people.
It’s not that they can’t do anything about it, but that these people are too old and can cause criticism from any of them.
As if he hadn't seen the expressions of several people, Dong Yuan coughed lightly and said, "Your Majesty's words!"
Although Sun Zhong, Han Li and others were just cheering each other up, they felt a little confident in their hearts, but they couldn't help looking at Dong Yuan. After all, they didn't know what the emperor would do to them.
"I will listen to the sages!"
He heard Dong Yuan say slowly: "See Sun Zhong, Han Li and others back home to think about their mistakes!"
After listening to the emperor's emperor's decree conveyed by Dong Yuan, Sun Zhong and Han Li were slightly stunned at first, and then there was a look of joy on their faces.
"I will receive the order!"
While speaking, Sun Zhong and Han Li stood up one by one, because they had been kneeling for a long time, but when they got up, they shook their bodies and almost fell to the ground.
Dong Yuan subconsciously stepped forward and supported an old minister. However, the old minister looked disgusted and suddenly shook his sleeves and said, "Save it!"
Dong Yuan frowned and immediately let go. As a result, the old minister softened his body, and he knelt on the ground with a thud, and then knelt in front of Dong Yuan.
Seeing this situation, Dong Yuan, who was very happy, smiled and said, "Oh, what does Lord Lu mean? Our family can't afford such a great gift from Lord Lu!"
With the help of Sun Zhong, Han Li and others, Lu Zhi stood up, glared at Dong Yuan fiercely, and shook his sleeves suddenly and said, "Everyone, let's go!"
Looking at the figures of Lu Zhi, Sun Zhong, Han Li and others, Dong Yuan smiled behind him and said, "Several old men, go all the way, be careful!"
Lu Zhi, who had just gotten ugly, shook his feet and almost fell to the ground, which involuntarily accelerated a little.
At the entrance of the palace, Sun Zhong, Han Li, Lu Zhi and others who came out of the Forbidden City were filled with joy. In their opinion, the emperor gave in to them. After all, their previous actions were suspected of being forced to the palace. Otherwise, the emperor would not be so angry.
But the emperor finally asked them to go back and think about their mistakes behind closed doors. In the eyes of Lu Zhi, Sun Zhong and others, this was simply a manifestation of their overwhelming emperor.
The emperor has no way to deal with them, so he can only vent in this way.
As for whether the emperor was frustrated, Lu Zhi and the others ignored it. After all, when they thought, this was a victory they achieved when facing the emperor.
Even the emperor has no choice but to deal with them. Then, they have to take advantage of the victory and pursue it. It is impossible to keep the door closed and will never think about their mistakes in this life.
Those colleagues and disciples who were captured by the Dongchang and Jinyiwei were still waiting for them to rescue them. So what if these people were involved in the assassination of Chu? How could a mere Chu Yi compare with dozens of Chinese civil and military officials in the dynasty?
They must let the emperor understand that it is wrong to favor eunuchs, and only these ministers are trustworthy.
"Everyone, go back and have a rest. Tomorrow, Chu Yi will return. We should ask the eunuch with the best mental outlook. What kind of virtue can he afford to welcome us all civil and military officials!"
Just at the entrance of the palace, Han Li, Sun Zhong, and Lu Zhi several old ministers raised their heads and looked like they had won a battle, and returned home in a swagger.
In the Imperial Garden, Zhu Houzhao, who was teasing the little prince, seemed to be in a very good mood because Chu Yi was about to return, or because of the little prince.
He looked up and saw Dong Yuan slowly coming, and smiled slightly and said, "Dong Yuan, Han Li, have Sun Zhong and others gone out of the palace?"
Dong Yuan bowed and said, "Report to Your Majesty, I have sent someone to send them out of the palace in person. I think I have already used the Forbidden City now."
Nodded slightly, Zhu Houzhao said, "It's better to leave. If it weren't for their identity and the invitation of Mr. Chen to plead with several masters, I would definitely not forgive them!"
It can be seen that Zhu Houzhao was quite dissatisfied with Sun Zhong, Han Li and others.
He opened his mouth and Dong Yuan seemed to want to say something, but he swallowed it again when he was at the mouth. He was no better than Chu Yi, Gu Dayong and others, and he followed Zhu Houzhao to face Nian. When facing Zhu Houzhao, it was impossible for him to say anything.
Noting Dong Yuan's expression changed, Zhu Houzhao said: "Dong Yuan, what do you have to say?"
Dong Yuan looked around and lowered his voice slightly and said, "I am brave, but it is about Han Li and a few adults. I don't know whether it should be said or not!"
Zhu Houzhao said curiously: "Oh, how many Han Lis? Let's talk about it!"
With a straight look, Dong Yuan said, "I went to pass the imperial edict on the order of Your Majesty, but I heard several adults laughing loudly in the imperial study room, but I didn't know why. However, after the several adults left, I asked several eunuchs who were in the imperial study room at that time, but they said..."
Seeing that Dong Yuan was a little hesitant, Zhu Houzhao frowned and said, "What did they say?"
Dong Yuan gritted his teeth and said, "Han Li and several masters said that Your Majesty should not favor the Grandmaster, and this is not done by the wise king. If Your Majesty punishes them, he will definitely be despised by the people of the world..."
Zhu Houzhao narrowed his eyes and sat there, his expression still. He held a teacup in one hand and played with the teacup. Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "Do they think I really dare not do anything to them!"
As he said that, Zhu Hou looked at the teacup in his hand and said with a smile: "Transfer my will to Cao Shaoqin, Qian Ning and others, and ask them to check these old masters who are loyal to the king and the country. I want to see if they are really honest and serve the country and the people!"
A night passed, and as the first ray of rays of rays of light shone on the earth, a new day began.
The capital, which had been silent all night, became lively.
This day was not a grand dynasty meeting, but all the civil and military officials of the court gathered in the Forbidden City one by one, because they received the order early and stepped out of the city to welcome Chu Yi who returned triumphantly.
No matter how you think in your heart, you will definitely have to go ahead unless you resist the will of the emperor.
In the Forbidden City, Zhu Houzhao, who stayed at Shufei overnight, got up early in the morning to change clothes. After using imperial meals early, officials of the Ministry of Rites were ready.
Zhu Houzhao first met all officials, accepted the worship of all officials, then ascended the emperor's carriage, and then followed.
The guards at the twelve camps, such as the Yulin Guard, the Jinyi Guard, the Longxiang Guard, the Tiance Guard and others, lined up early to wait.
As the emperor's imperial carriage slowly set off under the escort of the twelve guards, the emperor's imperial carriage left the Forbidden City, and then headed straight to the city gate along the street that had been cleared.
On the long street, teams of soldiers were arranged neatly like statues, isolating the people on both sides.
The four guards of Tengxiang were ordered to maintain order in the city themselves. Han Kun, as the governor of the four guards of Tengxiang, personally supervised the matter. In order to protect the safety of the emperor's deeds, the four guards of Tengxiang dispatched tens of thousands of soldiers to clean up the streets in advance. It can be said that the security has been achieved to the extreme.
The people around watched the emperor's carriage travel, and couldn't help but shout long live, which shows that the emperor's reputation among the people is quite good.
Several masters were granted permission from the emperor and walked in front of the officials in the car frame, followed the emperor's carriage. Looking at the reactions of the people around, the couple who were sitting in the same carriage showed relief on their faces.
Rotating his beard, Jiao Fang couldn't help but sigh: "It is our honor to be able to assist Your Majesty. Your Majesty's wise king will be famous in history in the future, and we will be famous for ours forever..."
As the former emperor's teacher, Wang Hua naturally knew the emperor's nature. Although Zhu Houzhao was magnanimous by nature and was not a tyrannical king, to be fair, Zhu Houzhao was too casual and had an unstable personality, and was not a qualified monarch.
But now, Zhu Houzhao has changed a lot. Wang Hua was deeply moved. After hearing Jiao Fangzhi's sigh, he stroked his beard and said, "What the Chief Auxiliary said is very much. It is our honor to be able to assist the emperor."
Chen Ding, who was sitting there, sighed: "But I don't know how the chief executive will be recorded in history in the future!"
Everyone was stunned when they heard this. Without Chu Yi, there would be no great situation in the Ming Dynasty now. They could become a member of the cabinet. Whether it is vision or ability, they were all the top groups of people in the Ming Dynasty. They could see the changes of the Ming Dynasty the most clearly and feel the deepest.
They don’t know how others evaluate Chu Yi’s merits and demerits, but they know very well in their hearts. Without Chu Yi, there would be no Ming Dynasty today. Even if Chu Yi was too serious, his flaws would not conceal his merits, and his merits would be far greater than his faults.
With a light cough, Wang Shouren smiled and said, "The right and wrong, merits and demerits are all commented by later generations. We just need to be between being upside down and being ashamed of our hearts!"
"Hahaha, Anguo Gong's words are reasonable! People live for a lifetime, and plants and trees will fall in love. What we ask for is nothing more than a shame!"
The cabinet masters were followed by civil and military officials, but the civil and military officials were not treated as the cabinet masters. They followed the cabinet masters immediately and walked slowly.
Many civil and military ministers have a little bad face at this moment. It’s okay for those who are strong and strong, but the old ministers such as Han Li, Sun Zhong, and Lu Zhi are all over 60 years old. Although they are still strong in their bodies, they are not easy to do more than ten miles.
It was still about a mile away from the city gate, and Sun Zhong, who was already breathing, looked at the frame in front, and said a little disdain in his eyes: "I am truly a backbone of the eunuch party. In the future, I will be like Li Linfu of the Tang Dynasty and Qin Hui of the Song Dynasty for thousands of years..."
After taking a breath, when he heard Sun Zhongzhi's words, Han Li said, "Brother Zhiran, don't hurt your body. Jiao Fang, Wang Shouren, and Yang Yiqing are all backbones of the eunuch party. Unfortunately, my Confucianism has produced such shameless people. The people of the world in the Ming Dynasty, and all the civil and military officials in the court need Brother Zhiran to stabilize the sea like this!"
Stroking his beard, Sun Zhong said with a humble look: "Everyone, each other, I am the only one who can't save the world. You still need to work together!"
When the emperor travels, he paves the ground with loess and sprinkles water on the street. This journey is ten miles away from the city.
After walking ten miles, it was a bit difficult for those guards, let alone these civil and military officials who were not diligent in five bodies. If it weren't for some military officials' support, I was afraid that some old ministers would not be able to walk.
Han Li, who had the strength to speak out before, was already out of breath and sweating profusely. He was barely standing there with the help of several guards.
Just as the emperor and the civil and military officials stopped waiting for news from Chu Yi and his generals, they saw a vague smoke and dust rolling on the official road ahead, and several messengers were racing towards the horses.
