Chapter 366 The retribution is unhappy
Chapter 366: Retribution is unhappy...
Time goes back to the time when we visit Lu Bing in silence, and Zhang Juzheng goes to ask Xu Jie...
The weather is so clear today, the autumn is clear and the air is clear and cloudless. Even Emperor Jiajing, who is dedicated to the Tao, never leaving the gate all day, can't sit still, and takes Xu Wei and the old eunuch Li Fang, and wanders in the West Garden to relax.
The West Garden is a royal garden with beautiful landscapes and beautiful scenery. Unlike the Forbidden City, it is lined up with red walls and yellow tiles, giving people a feeling of depression and depression.
There are no straight railings and horizontal sills with stone-buildings, and winding corridors. There are elegant scenery of nature everywhere, full of fresh atmosphere. Perhaps this is the reason why Emperor Jiajing has not been able to linger for more than ten years.
Emperor Jiajing walked around the garden, first playing in the water by the Taiye Pool to watch fish; then went to the Nine Dragon Wall to enjoy the green bamboo and listen to the birds singing; he also drank and drank on Qionghua Island, and listened to Xu Wei's poems and essays, which made him feel relaxed and happy and forgot about the worries of the world.
Xu Wei took out all his skills and took out his skills. In addition, Li Fang was supporting the role next to him, which made the Emperor Jiajing so that he sometimes leaned forward and backward, sometimes thoughtful, and was very excited. After eating and drinking, he felt that he was still unsatisfied and asked Xu Wei: "What else is there to be fun?"
Xu Wei thought about it and said, "The sky is high in autumn, and climbing up to look far away will definitely make the emperor feel relaxed and happy and comfortable."
Li Fang was worried about the emperor's dragon body and said, "I have been playing for a long time today. If you have a way of doing it, it's too much or too much. Otherwise, let's go to Guanghan Palace to take a look and go far away another day." Guanghan Palace is on Qionghua Island in the South China Sea. It is a five-story pagoda and the highest point of the Xiyuan.
Jiajing originally wanted to go to Jingshan, but when he thought it was quite far, he would forget it. Then he agreed to Li Fang's invitation. With his support, he climbed the pagoda on the island and looked south outside the palace. He saw that the magnificent rivers and mountains of his old Zhu family were all in sight. Jiajing couldn't help but praise: "If you want to see thousands of miles away, you will go to a higher level. The ancients did not deceive me!" Li Fang also echoed.
Xu Wei held the railing and looked out, as if he was intoxicated by the beautiful rivers and mountains... No one knew, but in fact his heart was pounding, and he was about to jump out of his throat!
He has been waiting for this opportunity for a long time. Since he was silently giving an opportunity in person two months ago, he has been waiting for this final opportunity. For this day, he has imagined many times today's scene. When there was no one around, he has practiced it many times, how to deal with the emperor's next question... Also, if the emperor did not ask questions, how should he guide him.
Although he had practiced many times, when things came to an end, he still couldn't help panic, fearing that the extremely smart emperor would see the clues and break the silent plan. He had to turn his eyes to the distance, pretend to be enjoying the beautiful scenery, and smiled bitterly in his heart: "I don't know if my son will despise me after seeing my cowardly look."
Fortunately, Emperor Jiajing was still very familiar with the situation in front of his door. His eyes swept over the buildings on West Chang'an Street, Yan Mansion, King Jing Mansion, and... "Ah", the emperor couldn't help but sigh, and his eyes fell on a mansion adjacent to King Jing Mansion... To be precise, it was a mansion with two-thirds of the completed part, but just looking at the finished part, it was already red walls, green tiles, painted buildings and carved beams. The palaces and towers were magnificent, magnificent and majestic, as if they were a fairyland on earth. I really don't know what it would look like after completion.
But Emperor Jiajing's face was not a little admirable, but a kind of blue color hanging on the frost. He saw a cold light radiating from his narrow eyes, staring at the busy craftsmen like an ant in the house. He only heard him ask Xu Wei in a voice that seemed to come from the underworld of Jiuyou: "Do you know whose house it is?"
Following the emperor's gaze, Xu Wei couldn't help but shiver when he saw that it was the one that Silence pointed to him. One was for the scary appearance of Emperor Jiajing now, and the other was for the silent and vicious eyes and the deep understanding of the emperor!
"Do you know?" the emperor asked again.
Xu Wei shuddered, barely calmed down, and said in a changed voice: "That must be the royal palace..." These six words were determined by Xu Wei repeatedly pondering.
Although it is simple and unpretentious, it is as fatal as a poisonous dagger!
Sure enough, when he heard this, a trace of murderous intent flashed across Emperor Jiajing's face. He turned around and looked at his Yuxi Palace, Wansheng Palace, and Wanshou Palace. They were still ruined and had no improvement. A toxin called rage invaded his whole body in an instant, and he could no longer care about the emperor's majesty. A series of Anlu dialects gushed out.
Li Fang is an old man from his residence, so he naturally understands that the emperor is greeting someone's female immediate family in many ways. He can't help but wipe his sweat secretly, look at Xu Wei with a confused look on his face, and said to himself: "Fortunately, he doesn't understand."
In fact, Xu Wei is a genius of language, and he doesn't understand anything he doesn't know about the southern and northern accents, but he is afraid that the emperor who has recovered from it can be silenced, so he can only pretend not to be clear.
This is a time to test your character. If Chen Hong was here, he would definitely find a way to help the person get through it. At least he would notify them and let those people deal with it early, and the result might be much better.
But today, the one who was with the emperor... Needless to say, Xu Wei, the initiator, Li Fang and Yan Song and the one who had no grudges, but he hated Chen Hong, who coveted his position! Of course, he was happy to see their group of people in trouble, so he closed his mouth tightly and watched the fun in silence.
After venting for a while, Jiajing stared at the building community and said to Xu Wei in official words: "You are wrong, that's not the royal palace!" After that, he brushed his sleeves downstairs, walked halfway and left again: "Let Lu Bing come to see me immediately!!"
Xu Wei's entire mission was to let the emperor see the mansion that was even more luxurious than the Xiyuan. Then he said those six words and then completed the task completely. The rest was to pretend to be innocent and confused, and looked at Li Fang with his eyes straight and said, "Eunuch Li, what's wrong?"
Li Fang sighed, and said with a clear 'Schaotic' on her face: "There's a good show now." Then she followed the emperor downstairs.
After a while, two eunuchs in purple came up and asked, "Old ancestor, what's wrong with Your Majesty?"
These two were the spies that Chen Hong put next to the emperor. When he was not by the emperor, the two eunuchs informed him.
Li Fang snorted at her nostrils, ignored them, and walked away first.
The two eunuchs asked Xu Wei again. Xu Wei shrugged his shoulders, reached out and said, "Ask me, who will I ask? I'm still wondering."
The two were too fake and confused, but there were only three people on the tower, so they couldn't ask the emperor, right? They had to stop asking again in depressedness, praying that Li Fang had messed up the emperor.
Li Fang soon sent a confidant eunuch to send an order and informed Governor Lu about the incident.
Lu Bing, who was ill in bed, rolled up and shouted, "Change!" Zhu Qi and Zhu Ba on duty quickly came to serve and asked carefully, "Your old body..."
"Hehe, heart disease still needs heart medicine. I have no disease now." Lu Bing grinned, but said in a panic: "My little junior brother is really a genius. How can he predict things like a god?"
It turned out that when he just fell ill a few days ago, Chen Yu came to visit him. At that time, he was in a period of extreme self-blame, extreme guilt, self-doubt and self-denial. Chen Yu comforted him: "This is not your fault, senior brother, it was those people who killed Mr. Li."
Lu Bing sighed and said, "Young brother doesn't know. I have done a lot of bad things with Yan Song. When I framed the chief minister Xia Yan and the governor Zeng Xian of the three sides, I have my share. So he and I are grasshoppers on the same rope, and I have to follow him if he is unlucky." As he said, he said with a depressed look on his face, "This is also the reason why the Yan family father and son regard me as nothing."
Chen Si knew that if he could tell this, he had already hated Yan Dang so much. He nodded and said, "For the sake of a long time, everything about his senior brother is really not worth it."
"But I can't swallow this!" Lu Bing beat the edge of the bed and sighed in a sad voice.
At this time, he said quietly: "Actually, killing his godsons can make him feel in pain, but he can't fight with you, senior brother."
"Brother, you don't understand." Lu Bing said depressedly: "The common people all feel that there are no taboos in the Jinyiwei, but that is at the local level. They are born at the foot of the emperor, in Beijing, but they cannot act without permission... Without His Majesty's order, I can do some small moves in private, but it is impossible to attack the first-rank official openly."
"Can you prepare early, and be prepared at that time?" said silently.
"When will it be?" Lu Bing said bitterly: "After this battle, Yan Song's power will reach its peak. Only in the year of the monkey and horses will he have a chance?"
"No." Silent and decisive: "You know your Majesty's character more than me, and you should know that he is most disgusted with the autocracy of his ministers. Recently, the Yan Party was so proud that he was so arrogant that he was asking for trouble in his majesty's misconduct, wouldn't he bet?" He said with a smile: "If you don't believe it, let's bet. Your Majesty will have a move to kill the chicken to warn the monkeys in the near future!" You said that people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, so he certainly would not tell the truth to Lu Bing. That's not to give someone a handle?
After hearing the arguments that Chen Si had prepared, Lu Bing was skeptical, but seeing his conviction and the fact that he was also in a hurry to seek medical treatment was included. After Chen Si left, he ordered to collect evidence of Zhao Wenhua and Yan Maoqing in case of emergency.
Unexpectedly, when Lu Bing rushed to the palace, he looked through Zhao Wenhua's black materials, thinking that this guy was more than enough to kill eight times.
When he arrived in the palace, Emperor Jiajing not only did not calm down, but became more and more angry the more he thought about it. The feeling of being fooled made the emperor, who claimed to be extremely smart, have the urge to destroy everything. He asked Lu Bing with a sinister face: "Whose house is the east end of the fourth family?"
"Go back to Your Majesty, it is Zhao Wenhua's house, Minister of Works." Lu Bing reported the name without hesitation and said: "I just visited last month, so I will remember it wrong."
"What are you going to do?" Jiajing's two thick eyebrows were shaking, obviously suppressing his anger... He was most afraid of his trusted spy chief, and he was very close to the court officials, except for the ministers who were silent twenty years later.
"Zhao Wenhua's newly built main house is completed, and I invite you to go," Lu Bing had already thought about his words on the way, and he was naturally calm when he answered. Every sentence was like a knife: "I didn't want to go, but then he thought that the country's money is tight now, and the city walls and His Majesty's bedroom have not been repaired for a long time. Why did the Minister of Works, who was responsible for the engineering, build the building first? So he decided to go and talk about it."
Jiajing's face eased a little, but it only eased his anger towards Lu Bing and asked, "What's the result?"
"The result was shocked," Lu Bing said with surprise: "This grandson built the house like a palace. Not to mention anything else, he only used fifty good nanmu pillars. Wei Chen didn't understand the market, but 10,000 taels of nanmu that can be used as beams and pillars is enough to buy one. This is at least 500,000 taels, and there is no additional shipping fee... As for other materials, it is also extremely luxurious..."
"Enough!" Jiajing kicked his beloved Yuqing to pieces, and danced his hands hysterically and said, "Why don't you report it?!"
"Your Majesty forgive me," Lu Bing said anxiously: "He is a famous first-rank official, so he must be cautious about such people. Since then, I have launched a secret investigation, hoping to report to Your Majesty after obtaining enough conclusive evidence."
"Do you master it now? Ah!" Jiajing clenched his fists tightly, and the blue veins on his forehead swelled up. If Li Mo just made him feel insulted, Zhao Wenhua now made the emperor feel completely deceived and damaged!
"I have basically mastered it." Take out a thick piece of material from my arms, and Lu Bing presented it to Jiajing with both hands, saying: "Most of the construction materials of the Ministry of Works are used to repair Zhao Shangshu's house, so His Majesty's bedroom cannot be repaired."
With a 'bang', he knocked off the black material from Lu Bing's hand. Emperor Jiajing pointed at the outsider and said, "Go, arrest him for me, seal the door and search the house, no one is allowed to go in..."
"Yes!" Lu Bing said secretly excitedly.
"Also, the Ministry of Works has also been sealed!" Jiajing was angry and felt that it was about to explode... This was directly related to his frequent use of Qiushi elixirs. He was irritable and angry. He couldn't help but get angry... Just like Tang Xian of Han Wu, he heard him roaring loudly: "Who dares to embezzle my money? I want him to pay it back in eight lifetimes!" In fact, Zhao Wenhua's account was indeed more than a hundred years later, and it was not until his great-grandson cried and wrote a letter to the letter that the cabinet exempted the bad debt. Of course, this is a later story.
Lu Bing received the imperial edict and left Xiyuan with a majestic spirit and headed straight to Zhao Wenhua's house next door. He thought to himself that he still blamed His Majesty for getting angry? Is the emperor's house still a dangerous building to be built? Are you building a luxurious courtyard next door to him? Why don't you die?
After a few steps out of the palace, they arrived at the door of Zhao Wenhua's house. The fully armed Jinyiwei had already surrounded the Zhao Mansion and could not fly. They were confronting Zhao Wenhua's servants... Without the support of the boss, they would not dare to attack the mansion of a first-rank official.
As soon as Lu Bing appeared, Zhu Shisan, who was in charge of the periphery, blew the horn. The Jinyi Guards all pulled out the embroidered sword and knocked the scabbard with the spine, making a neat cracking sound, which was actually synchronized with Lu Bing's horse hooves, which was extremely shocking.
Lu Bing turned over and dismounted, lifted his scarlet cloak, revealing the python robe representing the peak of his ministers. He held the belt with one hand and the hilt of the knife with the other hand. With the support of several Taibaos, he strode to the door of Zhao's mansion.
It was said that by chance, Zhao Wenhua also received the news at this time and rushed from the Ministry of Works in a sedan chair. When he saw the fierce attitude of the Jinyiwei, he had no idea about the emperor, and he thought that Lu Bing was asking him to vent his personal anger.
Although he didn't dare to get out of the sedan chair, he didn't want to lose. He sat in the sedan chair, lifted the curtain, and said angrily: "Old Lu, it's not that I killed your master, why do you bring people to trouble me?" Otherwise, why would this guy become more and more stupid? He opened his mouth so stupid that he was outrageously stupid, which made Lu Bing's face darker, and blue veins suddenly appeared on the back of his hand holding the hilt.
Lu Bing's face was as deep as water, and he walked to Zhao Wenhua's sedan step by step. Everyone behind him saw that every step he took, a deep footprint would be left on the stone floor. It was caused by the extreme activation of his internal strength.
He lowered his head and looked down at Zhao Wenhua, and Lu Bing said coldly: "Come down!"
"No..." Frightened by his desire to eat people, Zhao Wenhua hurried in the sedan chair and shouted, "Get up the sedan chair and ask my godfather to judge..."
"Where can you go!" Lu Bing shouted loudly, reached out to his chest to untie the cloak, threw it out, and then covered several sedan chairmen under it. He concentrated the Qigong that had reached its peak on his arms, and used all his strength to raise the sedan chair with one hand and one sedan arm, which actually needed six people to carry!
