Chapter 819: Funeral and Death Knell (Part 2)

.The talent changes when the sun rises, and the moon rises, and everyone knows that the curtain falls. There is still half a day before the sun rises, and half a month before the moon rises. There is also half a month before the moon rises and the moon rises until the moon falls. There is also a master Yan who has retired until the age of 85. He is only sixty-five and proficient in health care. In everyone's opinion, it is normal to do ten or eight years. So everyone is crowded under the clouds of Xujie to pray for rain. There are not many people for the time being, so they take the gust of Emperor Longqing seriously.

If you are still a little respectful, how dare you, as a minister, call your monarch "little bee,"?

Of course, no one takes the emperor seriously. It has his own reasons, because compared with the previous emperor who can be called a tornado, the current Emperor Longqing's current wind is probably at the level of spring breeze blowing on his face... and it seems that from the day he ascended the throne, he realized that his talents were not competent for the important task of governing the country. If he wanted to intervene randomly, he would definitely help the more and the more he did it, and the more he was messy. Therefore, he would just hand over the major national affairs to the ministers and concentrate on living a good life.

The weak lord, the mediocre, and self-knowledge... This is what the ministers of the Longqing Dynasty evaluated their emperor. So everyone believed that the possibility of relying on this emperor to show their might and solve the possibility of Xu Ge Lao shrouding over his head was no better than holding a knife in person and blocking Xu Jie on the way to court, waiting for an opportunity to assassinate him.

However, Shen Mo didn't think so. As a minister close to Longqing, he knew the emperor better. In fact, Longqing was not stupid at all, and could even be said to be wise and foolish, but this wisdom was a bit too vulgar... Careful study of leaders and future leaders is a basic lesson for every civil servant. Shen Mo could not rely on his father to be appointed as a deputy at the age of 29 in his previous life, but his profound attainments in this lesson... Speaking of which, this is also a kind of vulgar wisdom, but it is probably the difference between ordinary citizens and young cadres who are one level higher than Longqing.

To study the development of Emperor Longqing's character, we naturally have to study his growth experience. This tragic prince has always been suspicious and wary of his father and has never enjoyed fatherly love. This point was transferred to Gao Gong after he became an adult, "Looking at Gong as a father is not something I can say casually.

Because the emperor deliberately ignored him, he seized the opportunity to enjoy royal education since childhood. He even started to read and learn to read under Gao Gong's guidance... After receiving education late, Longqing's intellectual development was too late to receive knowledge, and even the response was slower than that of ordinary people. However, the more serious impact on Longqing was not this, but it was impossible to develop a good acquired personality.

The personality is divided into innate and acquired, but it is actually the acquired character. The acquired character is developed in childhood. For example, Zhengde and Jiajing, if you consider the identity of their only son, it is not difficult to understand the absurd behavior of this cousin. Long Qingyuan is not as lucky as his father and his uncle. Having a father is not as good as having a father, having a mother is not as good as having a brother, and having a brother is not as good as having a brother. Not only did he not enjoy fatherly love, he was also captured to take away his mother's love, and there was no family affection between brothers, so Long Qing's desire for feelings and the insecurity deep in his heart are very similar to orphans. Usually orphans will go to two extremes, or become extremely strong and pursue success in order to overcome the insecurity in their hearts; or be completely captured by insecurity, becoming weak and without motivation to advance.

When Gao Gong came to Longqing, Zhu Zaili, who was still King Yu at that time, had a completely formed personality. The country was easy to change, but his nature was difficult to change. Even Gao Suqing, who was the most powerful and yang, could only make him feel warm and would not become extreme, but it was impossible to change his personality.

When you understand the formation of the emperor's character, and look back at him, you will understand that behind his indulgence in pleasure, he is actually evading responsibility... First, he has no motivation to fulfill his obligations as an emperor, and he is always lacking confidence in himself and dare not assume the responsibility of governing the country. However, while he ignores the state affairs, the insecurity hidden in his heart has also begun to expand.

Especially after Gao Gong was driven away, the pain of losing his Gu especially aggravated Longqing's insecurity. In addition, the censors relied on Xu Jie's protection and expelled Gao Gong, and determined that he was different from the late emperor and was a weak and bullied person. Since then, he has become increasingly unscrupulous and has to compete with him in everything.

Some of these debates were reasonable advice, such as restraining eunuchs' dictatorship, and admonishing eunuchs to be imprisoned; however, more of them were interference in the emperor's private life. For example, he was forbidden to go to Yudi to nostalgia, forbid him to go to the suburbs of Beijing to relax, suspected that the emperor had the intention of taking the opportunity to travel, and forbid him to go to Mount Tai to worship, etc., which was very likely to be able to keep the emperor in captivity. Even the private affairs in the palace were to be taken to the court for discussion, which made the emperor lose face.

Xu Jie's favoritism towards censors gradually lost his principles, and he even refused to fight against the emperor to protect the interests of censors. In July this year, the emperor issued an order to investigate the sect. Officials are upright and selfless and competent, and they will not be afraid of the assessment. This is not an excessive requirement, but Xu Jie advised the emperor to protect censors.

It was these trivial and even unreasonable trivial matters that gradually eroded the emperor's patience, made him feel strong fear of being controlled, and greatly aggravated the insecurity in his heart. This was based on the statement...... In September, when the internal officials reopened the imperial shop, Kedao talked about it again, and Xu Jie expressed support on behalf of the cabinet as usual. Kedao's "words" were often too extreme, and the emperor could not bear it. He sent a hand to complain about the cabinet, and his words were extremely aggrieved:, such a matter, the censor also said that I was not, your cabinet also said I was not, what do you want? Xu Jie of course would be hurt by the emperor's emotional changes. However, the censors who were already confused believed that the emperor was weak and bullied, and became increasingly severe. They made trouble for nothing, and completely attacked the emperor as a shortcut to gain fame.

After being attacked by the subject, the emperor has actually reached the extreme of patience. However, if he wants to endure it, there is no need to endure it anymore. It is not as simple as quantitative change causing qualitative change... As an emperor who knows that state affairs are the most important, he will not affect the normal operation of the country because of his personal likes and dislikes. He can even think about the overall situation and would rather be wronged. From giving up and keeping Gao Gong to swallowing his anger again and again, although there are reasons for his weak and obedient personality, but isn't it also a mature monarch who deserves the rationality and demeanor?

It seems simple, but it is actually difficult to make such an indecisive and lack of masculinity in the emperor who is determined to break up with the powerful ministers who control the court, but he is Shen Mo's only chance of victory. If he never dares to say no, then Shen Mo can only pack his bags and go home.

From beginning to end, Silence has been doing two things. One is to prompt the emperor to make up his mind to overthrow Xu, and the other is to keep his reputation and not to be deceived by his master and destroy his ancestors and despise him. These two things are another thing, which is to constantly demonize Teacher Xu.

As for how to do it, Wang Yin had already taught Chen Sizi, that is, "The best is like water,! No one in the world is more weak than water, and no one can defeat the strong, this is gentleness. Well, you must defeat the strong with weak, and only this is the way to overcome the strong with softness. Therefore, silence has adhered to the principle of showing weakness and not fighting is a struggle. The plans formulated are linked one by one, and step by step are smooth, which has led Xu Jie to step into the trap. To this day, he can no longer get out.

Now Shengdan, Jingmo and Chou are all in the backstage. When that day comes, the real drama will be about to begin!

However, before the opening, he had to face a person's anger. If he could not comfort this guy, he would definitely be smashed by him." This scene would not have to be staged.

That is, after hearing that he intended to turn the Hu Zongxian case into a small matter, he pulled Yang Yushu to the cabinet and asked him for an explanation..."

Silence had never been closed all night. He originally planned to sniff for a while after breakfast, but he had not come back to work for several months. The official documents waiting for him to sign had already piled up like mountains, and there were many people who were anxious and nervous.

I was busy for most of the day and even had lunch in the room. I finally couldn't hold on and drove away the deadly ghosts surrounding me, and didn't care about anything. I had to sleep first.

Unexpectedly, after lying down, my mind was still spinning like a revolving lantern. This feeling of extreme fatigue but excitement and insomnia was not something that people could suffer. I was silent for a long time before I gradually became confused.

"He heard someone quarrel outside and muttered irritably, then covered his head with a quilt, isolated the noise, and continued to make up for his senses.

He fell asleep, but it was during working hours. After two quarters of an hour, he woke up and pulled the quilt away with his head covering. He saw two officials in a robe sitting on the chair opposite him... He was stunned at the time of silence.

Seeing him awake, the two officials stood up and bowed together, "See the Central Hall..." One of the third-rank officials also said apologetically: "It's too abrupt, the Central Hall will forgive the crime." The other fourth-rank officials just stood there with expressionless expression, without any sign of guilt.

The so-called "Zhongtang" means sitting in the middle of the lobby. This title was called "The Prime Minister" in the Tang Dynasty. It was a respectful title for the prime minister. In this dynasty, it was naturally enjoyed by the Grand Secretary, but it was not a random call. Generally, only when the Grand Secretary supervised the affairs of a certain department, the officials of this department would call him this way. The other departments were still called "Ge Lao" or "Singer".

Chen Si is the Grand Secretary in charge of military and criminal affairs. These two are the chief and deputy officials of Dali Temple. He said he was a central hall and was not wrong at all.

The Book Office, who was in the memory of the book, was also in the room and knelt on the ground and said, "Georgia, forgive me, these two people are in trouble, and the villain cannot stop it..." He entered the palace to meet in the early morning of silent morning, and then came to the cabinet, so he did not bring his family, but asked the Book Office of the Cabinet to serve.

"Can you stop this person?" He looked at Hai Gangfeng in silence, lifted his quilt and sat up and said, "Why don't you report?"

"You said that the sky fell and you can't disturb it..." The Book Office whispered: "And it took a long time to fall asleep when the villain heard about you."

"Forget it this time, remember to report next time." I said silently, is it important to have a sleep or my image? I just couldn't talk to the bookkeeper, so I could only pretend to be generous and said, "Go out."

When the book office left, Chen Si stood up and put on his shoes and said, "The conditions are simple, so you can laugh." The room where he slept was two inside and outside. Chen Si carried forward his style and gave the inner room to the older Chen Yiqin. He lived in the outer room and saw the bed as soon as he entered the door. "... It was okay, but he was in the main hall anyway, and this was just a place to sleep. But he didn't expect that Hai Rui could break in, which made him feel a little embarrassed.

It was also the first time that Yang Yushu and Hai Rui saw the Grand Secretary’s office. They were surprised by the simplicity here. The Grand Secretary, who was so arrogant in his mind, was so self-reliant and slurred, which made them slightly less resentful and retreated outside to wait for the silence to finish washing.

After a moment, the decent old Master Chen returned to his feet and came out in a cloak dressed in sable. He reached out and said, "Sit in the reception room." The cabinet had several elegantly decorated clean rooms for the Grand Secretary to meet with officials from various departments. Chen Si took the two of them to the largest room in the middle. After asking the two to sit down, the bookkeeper gave him tea, Chen Si asked him to withdraw and close the door.

"The two of you come together, I wonder what it costs?" Chen Si picked up the teacup and asked after taking a sip of it.

"May I ask Zhongtang, when will I continue to ask about the case?" Hai Rui had exhausted his patience while waiting, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he walked straight to Zhongjun Road.

"What's the hurry? Meng Chong and Teng Xiang just finished the trial yesterday," he said silently: "You have to give me some time and get someone to court for you."

Hearing that he was procrastinating, Yang Yushu also said anxiously: "Dare you ask the central hall, did the emperor see the confession we presented yesterday?"

"Look." Silent nodded.

"What's the opinion of the Sacred Heart?" Even Hai Rui held his breath and waited for his reply.

"The emperor has a high evaluation of your achievements." Silent first answered the illegitimate questions, and then informed the two in a plain tone: "You two can do nothing to avoid the powerful and honestly handle the problem, and they have a lot of hard work. After returning, the case will be settled and submitted to the court as soon as possible, and the cabinet will discuss the merits and awards."
