Chapter 895 Unpredictable (Previous)

-

After a brief fainting, the silence recovered from consciousness and felt a severe pain in his chest and he couldn't help but groan.

"My subordinates were seriously dereliction of duty and almost got into trouble," Yu Yin knelt in front of him and said, "Please punish him severely!"

"I can't blame you for this matter," he came back for a long time, and gently stroked his chest in silence, "There is still a sparse thing in Baixin, let alone no matter how many hidden threads we have, we can't always stare at the emperor."

"The emperor was indeed unexpected this time. His subordinates did not expect that the so-called poisoning was actually a guise, and he actually used an assassin." Yu Yin said ashamed.

"The young man's impulse changes," said the silent voice coldly: "It is the most difficult to estimate."

"Yes, even the people around him don't know. It should be the emperor's intentions." Yu Yin nodded and said, "But this hand is indeed powerful. If the adults had not worn three layers of armor, he would have succeeded." Since the beginning of the previous year, as long as he entered the palace, he would have been under the armor in the official uniform. Today, even though he knew that the emperor would plot against him, he naturally had to protect himself, but he was wearing it right.

"If the little emperor hadn't asked me to use his golden cup to make my hair stand on, I would have been unable to escape this disaster." Looking back on the scene just now, I was a little scared and said: "The record of Taizu was that when Emperor Gao was drinking a banquet for meritorious officials, he once said two words, "Drink the golden cups together, and the blades will not be spared." Later, the ministers died under his knife."

"The golden cup is in front, the blade is behind..." Yu Yin said shocked when he heard this: "Will the emperor not know this allusion?"

"Impossible. He has read the Taizu's actual record for many times, and he has been familiar with it for a long time." Chen Shu shook his head.

"This is so strange." Yu Yin said in surprise: "The emperor has no reason to remind the emperor before taking action."

"I don't know either. Maybe the emperor wants me to die clearly..." Chen Si shook his head and said.

"Sir, leave this issue to the historian for research." Yu Yin said: "It is now a life-and-death situation, and the emperor's life and death are still in our hands. You have to make an idea of ​​how to deal with him." In the prior plan, there was no plan in this regard, everything was a stress reaction after Shen Mo was assassinated.

"It seems you have always been right..." Chen Mo finally had no fantasy about the emperor, and coughed violently and said, "I have figured it out when I walk tonight at the gate of hell." He said, "If you want to break this difficult situation, only without a king and without a father..."

"I can let the emperor die tonight!" Yu Yin said in a deep voice.

"No, the emperor cannot die, but now it cannot." Chen Shu shook his head and said, "Although the assassin spoke Mongolian, anyone with a discerning eye knew that the golden cup was in front and the white blade was behind. This was the emperor's arrangement. By the same token, if the emperor had any accidents today, I would not be able to escape any connection."

"When will we do it?"

"How to deal with the consequences after regicide?" Chen Silent said softly.

"Seeking the extinction of the Martial Temple!" Yu Yin said with a firm face: "Please choose another royal family to establish it!"

"Are you a fool in the world?" Chen Si held the kang and shook his head and said, "Let's not talk about this for now. I have been thinking about why I am so tired, what do you think?"

"The nine states and all directions of the Ming Dynasty are on the shoulders of the Lord. You still want to explore an unprecedented path," although I don't know what to say in silence, Yu Yin replied: "And now the emperor is eighteen years old, and has long exceeded the age to rule. Adults become a country, which means that the emperor loses his throne and becomes a situation where he cannot be united. Adults train the emperor to the path of the previous emperor, but the emperor follows Shizong everywhere. If the king and his ministers cannot be harmonious, your psychology will inevitably fall into an extreme conflict, until today..."

"It's true that the bystander is clear." Chen Shun nodded and said, "To put it bluntly, my pain comes from overestimating my abilities. How can I not have the pain of Mount Tai to suppress the top of Mount Tai? Even if I win by chance, it will be my victory alone. And what should I do after victory? Those who are more confused can be Huo Guang. Those who are more courageous can be Wang Mang. But no matter which one is, they are still the same dynasty and cannot break out of the rut of emperors, generals and ministers." He smiled bitterly, "What's more, this era of loyalty and filial piety cannot allow Wang Mang and Huo Guang to appear."

"What do you mean by sir?" Yu Yin could feel that after experiencing life and death, his silent state of mind had changed a lot.

"A step back may be broad in the sky." Chen Si sighed and said, "The emperor cannot retreat, but I can retreat. It just so happens that I will write a letter to beg for bones."

"Sir..." Yu Yin changed his face and said, "You are not kidding, are you?"

"No." Chen Si shook his head, feeling that his chest was not so stuffy, so he sat upright and said, "I have been thinking about it for a long time. In the past, I always insisted on martyrdom with my own life, thinking that since I had decided, there would be no way back. But now I figured it out. Even though I knew that there was a dead end ahead, I still had to persist. That was not persistence, but stupidity. I neither wanted to be Huo Guang nor Wang Mang. I don't want to fight against the imperial power alone. If that goes on, one day I will become the big villain in the hearts of all people in the world."

"The world should be done by the people of the world. Whoever wants to get what he wants must fight for himself. He will not cherish what others have fought for him, nor will he maintain it!" A ease that had not been seen in years was revealed on his silent face: "I protected them so well in the past that they did not feel the pressure of imperial power. This is wrong. I want to retreat, go home to serve my father, and live a few days of free life. See if they are still so happy without me."

"In recent years, adults have indeed been very good to officials and big business owners." Yu Yin whispered: "But aren't you worried that once you retreat, your years of hard work will be ruined?"

"If all the changes over the years will return to the starting point because of my absence." Silent smiled and said, "Then what I have worked hard for over the years is just an unrealistic dream." As he said that, he stood up slowly and said, "It is a dream that always wakes up. Instead of being counterattacked and implicated in the world, it is better to step down with a decent and minimize the impact of the country."

"Sir..." Yu Yin did not have such a state of silence. After confirming that silence was not a joke, he only felt that the sky was falling and the earth was falling: "You really want to give up?"

"How could I give up?" Chen Si looked at him and said, "It is my fixed mindset in the officialdom of the world. But in fact, standing at a high position, everyone flatters you, as if they are in the same heart and virtue as you. You can't see how many people are your fellow men, how many people are competing with the power, and how many people are just vain and slandering. In fact, I wish you could die. Only by retreating can you see more clearly."

"What if I understand?" Yu Yin asked with a hissing.

"If people's hearts cannot be used and limiting imperial power is just my wishful thinking, then we will accept it..." Chen Si said lightly: "I will teach in the second half of my life and enlighten the future of the Ming Dynasty."

“What if the hearts are available?”

"If people's hearts are available!" said silently: "What's the trouble of killing a regency, what's the trouble of civil war? What's the trouble of carrying the eternal infamy?!"

"Does the adult guess that people's hearts can be used?"

"Beijing is no longer the same. Every grass and tree here is stained with the decaying imperial power." Chen Shu shook his head and said, "So I want to go back to the southeast, where is our hope. Wen Zhong told Goujian that he had been teaching ten years of life. I have also worked hard on the Southeast for twenty years, so I have to see how the results are!" As he said that, he looked at Yu Yin and said, "The big scene must be opened in the great era. Beijing has no such environment!"

"Sir, convinced me again." Yu Yin sighed: "I hope you are right this time."

"This time, you won't be wrong." Chen Si said firmly.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

That night, Emperor Wanli spent his life in infinite horror. He was worried that he would not die of silence and immediately revenge on himself. Although he asked the Jinyiwei and the people from the inner factory to protect the Ganqing Palace like making rice dumplings, he was still frightened, fearing that there would be no hidden arrows to kill him and end his life.

I didn't close my eyes all night. At dawn, Sun Hai, the admiral of the inner factory, asked for a visit.

The only ones that Wanli can trust are these eunuchs who have been with him since childhood. He quickly announced his meeting despite his jealousy.

As soon as Sun Hai came in, Wanli asked, "How is it, are you dead?"

"It probably hasn't been done yet," Sun Hai replied: "I've been carried home now."

"Can there be any abnormal movements in the capital?"

"This incident happened suddenly, and all officials were not able to react."

"You can't wait for them to react." Wanli stood up, opened the drawer of the imperial case with his key, took out a gold medal of 'like I'm here', and said: "You hold this card to take over the military commander of the Five Cities, declare martial law in the whole city, and close the city gates. I will draw an order to the four guards of the imperial guards. You will immediately send someone to announce the order. Without an imperial order, one soldier and one soldier are not allowed to go to the camp. Violators are considered as treason!"

"Yes..." Sun Hai took the order and left.

After Sun Hai left, Wanli found that it was already bright outside, which gave him a great sense of security. His Majesty the Emperor, who had walked at the gate of hell, felt extremely powerful!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The chief minister of the cabinet was assassinated and seriously injured at a night banquet in the palace, which brought a strong sense of tension to the court and the country. The martial law in the capital continued to be strict, and all officials were in panic. They lined up to visit Qipan Hutong. Unfortunately, Chen Mansion closed the door tightly and no one could enter. In the end, the emperor sent an eunuch to visit the mansion, and brought out the news that the chief minister was seriously injured and unconscious and had not yet woken up.

When he was silent, the government and the government knew his importance, but they had no real experience. Now he lay down and probably could never get up again. People suddenly felt that the sky fell, and they were all panicked... For a time, hundreds of temples and temples in the capital were all taken down by officials from various yamen to pray for the chief ministers, some to set up altars and some to be a temple. There were both second-rank officials and officials who could not pick up chopsticks. They took off their official robes and put on blue robes, took off their black gauze and wore corrugated hats and rushed to the temple to sing sutras and verses, and were so busy that they were dizzy. As the saying goes, blessings come to the soul, and disasters come. The officials in the capital no longer explore the misfortune and disasters at this time. They dare not imagine what the officialdom would look like after losing the chief minister...

Soon, when the news arrived in Nanjing, the officials in Nanjing became more loyal to Chen Si. It was Chen Si who divided the power of the six ministries in Beijing and handed over to the six ministries in Nanjing, and ordered them to govern the financial and military criminal proceedings in the six southeastern provinces, and so on. Only then did the officials in the capital have the qualifications to be on par with Beijing officials. If Chen Si encountered any unexpected problems, they might be beaten back to their original form and continue to sit on the bench. Therefore, Nanjing officials were more active in praying for the chief minister to avoid disasters. Qingliang Temple, Jiming Temple, Yongqing Temple, Jinling Temple, Lulong Temple, Baoen Temple, Tianjie Temple, Zutang Hall, etc.... There were all kinds of tents and incense and lanterns everywhere. The officials did not sit on duty and lived in the temple and worshipped the temple.

If the two capitals are like this, how can the local emperors in each province fall behind? First, they will be connected to the small counties in the border areas. They all set up temples to pray for blessings and disasters for the chief ministers; the people either spontaneously or led by leading figures to establish temple temples for the chief ministers... If the blessing activities in the officialdom are also politically expressed, then the spread of folk prayers in the village can only show that scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, gentry, and people, not hope that they will die, but hope that they can continue to live. This is the greatest affirmation for a chief minister who has been in power for many years.

The wave of praying for the chief minister between the court and the country is as high as the call for the real murderer behind the scenes is as high as the call for the discovery. The day after the incident, hundreds of officials in Beijing jointly wrote a letter to demand a strict investigation of the case. Immediately afterwards, Nanjing's memorials arrived, and the memorials of officials from various provinces also arrived. Within more than ten days, more than 10,000 memorials were published nationwide, and ten of them were strictly investigated. Most of them were joint memorials. In other words, almost all officials across the country signed them on it...

Faced with unprecedented turmoil in crowds, Wanli had to express his attitude even in order to avoid suspicion. He quickly issued an order to express his condolences to the silence and ordered the inner factory to take the lead, and the Jinyiwei and the judicial department jointly investigated the case. However, all officials did not agree. They believed that the assassin could dress up as eunuchs and mingle in front of the imperial court. The inner factory responsible for the protection of the palace could not be separated. If they were asked to take the lead, it would inevitably obstruct the case. Because the civil servants demanded that the three judicial departments handle the case independently.

Although Wanli felt that there was no evidence left, he was guilty and did not dare to let the civil servant do it. He rejected the civil servant's request on the grounds of involvement in the palace. The emperor's reasonable decision caused an uproar in the court, because before that, there were rumors in the court that the emperor "drink a golden cup with you, and the hand-to-hand blades were not spared" in the court, saying that Emperor Wanli was the culprit of the murder of the chief minister. Now the emperor did not allow foreign ministers to investigate, and further confirmed this speculation. With the help of those who are interested, rumors spread everywhere, and doubts about the emperor were rampant. Even Wanli in the deep palace could not withstand, so he publicly wrote an article in the palace newspaper to refute this "nonsense"!

The result becomes darker and darker...
