"I beg the Lord to give me mercy..." Wang Ji followed Li Zhi, got up from the cushion, knelt down in the dust, and shouted in tears.

"I beg the emperor to give mercy..." Luo Rufang, a famous scholar in the country, also knelt down.

Immediately afterwards, Li Wei, Ouyang De and others... Xu Wei and all the students of the Imperial College also knelt down. After a brief pause, the lyricists who were ordered to refute Hai Rui also knelt down.

Seeing that the field was covered in darkness, the remaining few people were sitting slowly kneeling down.

I don’t know where the strength came from, but Jiajing forced himself to stand up. Ma Sen and Huang Jin quickly supported each other from left to right.

"The door." Jiajing's eyes looked straight ahead.

The two eunuchs dared not disobey and carefully helped the emperor forward for two steps. Jiajing finally saw the lush and thick three-plum locust tree canopy through the window frame. The thick tree canopy swayed slightly in the afternoon sun, shining with gem-like light, mysterious and magnificent...

Standing simply was already an extreme exercise for Jiajing at this time. He soon became heavy in his breath and his face turned red, but he still held on stubbornly, his eyes widening, staring at the scholar who was kneeling all over the ground.

Jiajing was extremely intelligent and could hear Li Zhi clearly. His speech was very exciting, but in essence, what is the difference between Hai Rui's "Public Security Memorial"? In fact, it was just to express Hai Rui's memorials in a more tactful, more convincing, and more acceptable statement. I believe everyone present understood it, but no one stood up and refuted him like he refuted the "Public Security Memorial".

Those civic ministers who were ordered to refute Hai Rui and Wang Shizhen who tried their best to defend themselves. Why did Ouyang De and Li Wei not oppose Li Zhi? Because what they have always opposed was only Hai Rui's behavior of being the one who violated the rules, but not Hai Rui's view. When they felt that Li Zhi's polite and humble statement could be accepted by the emperor, no one would object to it...

Maybe there are some people who disagree, but they all understand what people want... It is not only the people's hearts in this world, but also the hearts of the people in the world. Why bother to become the point of thousands of people? Isn't it better to follow the waves?

Hai Rui's voice sounded again in Jiajing's ears: 'The world is not worthy of Your Majesty for a long time...' This sentence has been tortured by the emperor like a demon sound that penetrates the brain for a long time, but this time it sounds like there is no hostility, no provocation, and no emotion, just a brief statement of the facts:

People's hearts are clear, right and wrong, and there is no need to argue again...

At the last glance at Hai Rui kneeling on the podium, Jiajing slowly withdrew his gaze from the window. This gaze has never been so confused, so isolated and helpless... This result made him uncomfortable and it made him unable to accept it, but he had to accept it.

‘So that’s it…’ Jiajing’s voice became weaker and weaker: “So… the people in the world really…”

"Master..." I felt the strength in my hands increased, as if the emperor had no strength. Ma Sen looked up and saw that Jiajing's head was already soft and tilted to the side. He saw blood slowly flowing from his nostrils, and then a wisp of blood flowed out of the corners of his mouth.

Huang Jin was also shocked and quickly covered Jiajing's bloody nostrils with a white towel. At this time, he didn't care much and screamed loudly: "Come here!" The eunuch and the Han general all surrounded him, but he was at a loss like a headless fly.

"Come on the emperor quickly and lift him up to the carriage." Huang Jin stomped his feet in an anxious manner and said, "What are you doing around you? You can't go to open the road."

Two eunuchs came up quickly, and Huang Jin were both stolen and carefully placed Jiajing flat on the carriage. The eunuchs quickly pushed open the door of the house, while the Han generals lifted Jiajing up and ran out like a rush.

As soon as the people outside got up, they heard the northern room screaming in panic and looked in a panic. When they were curious about what happened, they saw a group of eunuchs and imperial guards, like they were escaping, crowded with a carriage and squeezed out of the door.

"Everyone kneels down, no need to look up." Seeing everyone peeking, Eunuch Wu quickly came over with the people from the East Factory and scolded loudly, not allowing anyone to see them.

He was a eunuch wearing a big red python cloak and came here to be a security guard. Wouldn't this be without silver here? You can guess with your feet who was carried out.

Everyone exchanged glances in horror. Unexpectedly, the emperor came to listen to the debate and finally went out...

When the people in the palace are gone, the venue is still silent. Today's events have had a great impact on them and it takes time to slowly digest and experience it.

Xu Wei was the first to stand up, patted the soil on the bottom of the official uniform, sighed, and said, "Everyone, I had a treat, but..." He was originally looking at the positive path, but suddenly he became confused again, and he was in a bad mood.

Everyone understands that whoever dares to openly eat a banquet at this time is really an old birthday boy who eats arsenic and lives impatiently.

Backyard of the peace department.

Shen Mo was about to be angry to death by this damn debate.

Zhu Shisan did not lie to him. The content of the Sangong Huai debate was continuously transmitted, only two quarters of an hour later than the scene. But after reading it, Shen Mo only wanted to kill people. The criticism of the monarch, monarch power and monarch's ministers he wrote was not expressed in a few years. Li Zhi changed his lines, and the person who arranged in advance did not speak. As a result, a good and shocking incident turned into a big noise.

Thinking that all his efforts were in vain, I'm afraid there would be no such good opportunity again, Shen Mo could not control his emotions, threw all the transcripts on the table, and circled around the room irritably. If he hadn't been under house arrest, he really wanted to strangle these people to death one by one.

Seeing that the adult's face turned red and blue, his expression was extremely ferocious, which was really abnormal. Zhu Shisan asked carefully: "What's wrong with you?"

Although Shen Mo was furious, his mind was still clear and he could not tell the truth to him. But he was angry and couldn't think of any explanation to get rid of it. So he became a little embarrassed and annoyed. He pulled the manuscript paper written on the transcript into his arms, kicked the chair open, and walked out the door with a thud.

"Sir, what are you going to do?" Zhu Shisan quickly followed.

"I've eaten my stomach so I'm not happy." Shen Mo said angrily.

"Wait a moment, I'll prepare toilet paper for you." Zhu Shisan said.

"No need, use this one," Chen Si said as he walked out, and almost followed the person who came in. He looked closely and found that it was the soldier who reported the news, and the latest report had arrived.

He took it over and looked at it. It was silent as if a basin of cold water was poured down. He suddenly lost his anger. He saw it: "The generals rose up, and the office was in a big uproar. The eunuchs, who ran out in front of the emperor, rushed out, and the eunuch Wu Qin, ordered everyone to avoid it...'

Unexpectedly, Jiajing was there to listen and finally went out sideways. If Li Zhi and the others were following their own designs, the consequences would be unimaginable once the emperor was in a state of silence...

Shun couldn't help but sweat in a cold sweat, and stood there and became stunned.

Zhu Shisan waited for a long time and asked in a low voice: "Are you not going to show your respect?"

"Oh..." Chen Si then saved from his palpitations, and then turned back to the house.

"Sir, you're against it..." Zhu Shisan shouted.

West Garden.

Xu Jie led the six tribes and nine ministers to kneel in the Taoist temple in the Shengshou Palace, praying for the present in front of the Three Qingshu.

Everyone was kneeling on the mat and folded their hands together, with their expressions extremely pious. In fact, most of them were absent-minded and thought about their own thoughts.

However, Xu Jie prayed sincerely. Although he did not attend the San Gong Huai, he knew everything that happened there. At first, Xu Jie was shocked by Li Zhi's shocking words, but after all, he came back and lowered his attitude to persuade the emperor. Xu Jie was finally relieved and asked him to have another 'storm and rain'. The emperor could almost be relieved, and Hai Rui's life was saved.

Xu Ge Lao was an official for more than 40 years and was an old monster who could defeat Yan Song and his son. He was far-sighted and calculating, and had reached the point of loneliness and failure. The reason why he was so willing to rescue Hai Rui was that although there might be an appreciation element in it, it would definitely not be the main reason. In fact, Xu Jie considered two main points. One is that, just like what he showed today, the world's hearts would be like. If he played a negative role in Hai Rui, his reputation would be stained. The other is that if he kept Hai Rui at this time, he would definitely win the praise of Shilin in the future and get rich political returns. To put it bluntly, it was a political speculation, so he was so concerned.

I thought Hai Rui would regain his life, but I didn't know that heaven's plan was as good as human's plan. The emperor was so angry that he was in danger. If it really broke down in this situation, Daluo Zhenxian could not save Hai Rui. The first thing King Yu did ascend to the throne was to kill him and pray for Jiajing... Not only Hai Rui, but Li Zhi couldn't survive. Even the silence in the prison of the imperial prison, although he had feelings for King Yu, would inevitably be the end of wandering for three thousand miles and never telling him.

Xu Jie didn't want to see such consequences, so he ordered people to invite Li Shizhen to save the emperor no matter what, and never let Jiajing die in this case. But Li Shizhen told him that no matter how high the medical skills are, he cannot be killed. If the emperor's life is over, no one can save him.

Xu Jie asked the gods and Buddhas all over the heavens, but only asked God to have eyes, so he should not take his son back first.

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

Behind Xu Jie, the first one in the left head, was a handsome and burly old man kneeling. He was the Minister of War and the Prince's Prince's Preservation. Because his rank was higher than the other ministries, he was still ranked in front of Guo Pu, the Minister of Personnel. Yang Bo's courtesy name was Weiyue, and he was the Jinshi in the eighth year of Jiajing. He was the oldest among all ministries and became famous thirty years ago, and everyone was not as good as the one. In terms of merit, ability, and power, he was the top officials in the court, and even Xu Jie respected him three points.

Yang Bo returned to Beijing this time and was full of confidence. He was the Minister of War more than ten years ago. He worked hard and made great contributions in the past few years. Now he was called to the court. If he was still the Minister of War, he would have really missed his hometown in Shanxi. Only the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet can match his merits and abilities. Although he is not a Shujishi and cannot enter the cabinet according to convention, he has made many exceptions in history... Not to mention it, Zhang Cong and Xia Yan, who entered the cabinet with great contributions. Especially the latter one, who was a serious master of the court, became a Grand Secretary through court. No matter what aspect, Yang Bo was in his own way, far surpassed Xia Yan. Moreover, when facing the Saint Jiajing also expressed his intention to let him enter the cabinet, so he felt very sure. Recently, he has been in close contact with his old friends and striving to complete a breakthrough in one fell swoop.

Seeing that the court was about to be pushed this month, the emperor was critically ill at this time. This was a big problem for Yang Bo. If he had not entered the court before the new king ascended the throne, he would have been crowded with the people in the Qian Mansion of King Yu, and the hope would be much smaller at that time.

He didn't move his head at all, and only looked at Guo Pu and Gao Gong on the right with his light. He sighed inwardly: "It seems that he needs to have a good talk with these two people." But he was ready to take the Emperor's sermon.

Although Guo Pu and Gao Gong had a stern face, they seemed much calmer. Although Guo Pu was honest, who could become the Minister of Shangshu, who was not clear-minded and honest, and had a good idea? So when Gao Gong stretched out his hand, he held it tightly, became an ally with this fellow countryman, and then boarded King Yu's new ship. Seeing that the old ship was about to sink and the new ship was about to sail into the sea, what reason did he have to be unhappy?

Gao Gong's thoughts were much more complicated. A few days ago, Xu Jie talked to him and said that he hoped to recommend him to enter the cabinet. It is of course a good thing to be able to enter the cabinet, but the rules in the officialdom are that they do not owe favors, and they will pay them back if they owe it. Last year, when he was the chief examiner, he was almost driven back to his hometown by Jiajing because of the test questions. Xu Jie cleverly resolved it and spared this unrestrained battle. However, he was not grateful to Xu Jie because it was not important. At worst, he could go home for a few days to rest. After King Yu ascended the throne, he would not come back again?

But others would not think so, they all think that Gao Xinzheng owed him Xu Huating favor.

When Gao Gong thought of this, he felt tired of it. It would be fine if he owed others a favor, but why did it belong to Xu Jie? In fact, he and Xu Jie have no personal grudges, but there is a huge difference in political views, which is amazing. Gao Gong couldn't stand Xu Jie's position as a prime minister, but he was cautious and ineffective. It would be fine if it was a peaceful and prosperous era, but the country was in a critical state and was terminally ill. Only drastic reforms can bring a glimmer of hope. Xu Jie's position is just a corpse and inaction is the biggest mistake of the country. Therefore, Gao Gong was very dissatisfied with Xu Jie and often said in private that he would replace him sooner or later, so that he would see how the prime minister should be.

Now, Xu Jie said he wanted to recommend him to the cabinet. For others, Gao Gong was unwilling to agree to something that he wanted because he was the teacher of the future emperor. The days when King Yu ascended the throne would not be too far away. At that time, the chief minister of the cabinet would not be able to escape. Why bother to be in a hurry? Besides, he was insignificant in Jiajing's eyes. Now that he has gone to the cabinet, he still has to become Xu Jie's maid? If he can't do anything, he will be angry with birds. It is not worth it no matter how you think about it.

But in the world, people cannot just make money and not lose money. Sometimes they know that it is a fire pit, but they have to jump in. Who makes me owe favors? Xu Jie said everything. If he doesn't agree, in the eyes of others, he just owes the invitation and does not pay it back. If he doesn't reconcile, how can he survive in the future? But what if he agrees? He owes him another favor, how can he turn over and make a decision in this life? It's really distressing.

Now Jiajing seems to be dying, and he is most looking forward to this moment, because as long as Jiajing dies and the new king ascends the throne, it is natural for him to enter the cabinet. I am afraid Xu Jie is embarrassed to think that he owes others favors?

So he was looking forward to Jiajing's burp, and worshipped the gods and Buddhas in his heart, asking God to pick up his son to reunite.

As for other ministers and ministers, except for the followers of Shangshu, they were just so-called. Although they were anxious and afraid, they were not as serious as those of them. Li Chunfang was an exception. Although it was rumored that he might enter the cabinet, whether he entered or not could not change his embarrassing status of studying with the prince, so he was not as concerned as Yang Bo and others. The reason why he did not want Jiajing to die was very simple, he just didn't want to leave stains on his perfect life - if later generations say that because Li Chunfang had never argued, he would be too embarrassed to be angry with the emperor...

If Jiajing knew his loyal ministers, what he thought at this moment would definitely wake up in anger and strangle them to death one by one...

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

After coming out of the Sanqing Hall, Xu Jie and the others waited in the room outside the bedroom. They waited from the afternoon until the moon was on the sky, and they could not hold on for a long time... A dozen people sat in a small room with sore backs and their backs were so hungry that their eyes were blurred. However, the emperor's life and death were uncertain, so the ministers were not in the mood to eat... Although many people may not be in the mood, as ministers, they must be as polite as rituals. Not only can they not be able to drink rice, but they cannot even drink water.

Perhaps he was so hungry that Gao Gong suddenly asked if he wanted King Yu to come to the palace... It immediately attracted a strange look, thinking that he had snatched him, why did he commit such a taboo?

Gao Gong knew that he had a wronged statement, but he was unwilling to lose face. He remedy: "I think I'm going to have a son to serve him, and I feel better as a father." This is still being adjusted. Xu Jie nodded slightly and said: "I said it well... but I must ask for an order."

Gao Gongxin said, isn’t this the same as not saying it? But he also knew that he was sensitive to the moment, and he simply refused to mention it.

The atmosphere was strange and it took half an hour. At the end of the day, Li Shizhen's tired figure finally appeared. The ministers stood up and walked forward. After walking several steps, they remembered the superiors and inferiors. They quickly slowed down awkwardly and let Mr. Xu walk in front.

"How is it?" Xu Jie quickly stepped forward and grabbed Li Shizhen's hands.

"I tried my best..." Li Shizhen sighed deeply: "But the emperor still didn't wake up..."

Suddenly, various expressions appeared on everyone's faces, like losing their parents, feeling relieved, like falling into the abyss, like being pardoned, like an ordinary person...
