The sky is bright, and the warm sunshine is pouring into the rippling blue waves of Taiye Pond. A small boat in Taiye Pond carries Zhu Pingan and slowly approaches the shore. (?.〔
After arriving at the shore, Zhu Pingan got off the boat and stood by the Taiye Pool to thank the palace maid and eunuch who was supporting the boat.
After Emperor Jiajing went to court, he went to the Guanghan Palace built on a small island in the Taiye Pool, where he summoned Zhu Pingan. Because the Guanghan Palace was built on a small island in the middle of the lake, only punting could lead to the palace, so Zhu Pingan
It was only when he was safe that he came over in this small boat to pay homage to Emperor Jiajing.
There was a little eunuch who had been waiting on the shore of the small island in the middle of the lake where Guanghan Palace is located. This little eunuch was considered an acquaintance to Zhu Pingan. Feng Bao and Eunuch Feng. Eunuch Feng said with a smile on his face.
Zhu Pingan greeted each other, and on the way to the Guanghan Palace, he reminded Zhu Pingan in a low voice that His Majesty was in a bad mood today and asked Zhu Pingan to be careful when he met the Holy Spirit.
In fact, there was no need for Feng Bao to remind Zhu Pingan that Emperor Jiajing was in a bad mood today. After all, it was Zhu Pingan who witnessed Emperor Jiajing's bad mood.
However, Feng Bao was taking the initiative to show his goodwill, and Zhu Ping'an would not miss this opportunity in vain.
"Thank you, Eunuch Feng, for reminding me."
Zhu Ping'an cupped his hand to express his thanks, and then slipped a small banknote into Feng Bao's sleeve without leaving any trace. Feng Bao declined in a low voice for a moment, and then accepted it.
Under the guidance of Feng Bao, Zhu Pingan entered the Guanghan Palace. Feng Bao stopped and let another young eunuch lead Zhu Pingan into the palace where Emperor Jiajing was resting.╪. Emperor Jiajing was sitting cross-legged on the bed at this time.
He was in a meditating posture, still looking at the memorial presented by Shen Lian in his hands, with an angry look on his face, and a large section of his large dragon robe hanging on the ground.
"I pay my respects to my emperor, long live my emperor." After the young eunuch led Zhu Pingan into the main hall, he knelt down and saluted Emperor Jiajing who was sitting on the dragon couch.
"Without courtesy, I love you." Emperor Jiajing nodded and motioned for Zhu Pingan to get up and come forward. The hall was very large, and the dragon cave where Emperor Jiajing was sitting was quite far away from where Zhu Pingan was standing. There was such a huge distance.
It's a little difficult to speak.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhu Pingan stood up and thanked him.
Emperor Jiajing's anger has not subsided at this moment. Shen Lian's letter made Emperor Jiajing angry. As long as he thought of the content of Shen Lian's letter, Emperor Jiajing would get angry.
Emperor Jiajing ascended the throne when he was still young. You must know that Emperor Jiajing was only the eldest son of a local prince at that time. After the death of Emperor Zhengde, the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs took control of the government and recruited Emperor Jiajing to inherit the throne in accordance with the principle of "brothers end with younger brothers".
Yang Tinghe's civil and military ministers made things difficult for Emperor Jiajing at every turn, but in the end Emperor Jiajing was superior. He perfectly controlled the affairs of the court and managed the Ming Dynasty in an orderly manner. Therefore, Emperor Jiajing often compared himself to being the best in history in terms of civil and military skills, and was complacent.
However, he did not expect that Shen Lian would write a letter and compare himself to Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty. In Jiajing's eyes, this memorial was not so much about impeaching Yan Song as it was about humiliating himself. How could Emperor Jiajing calm down?
However, Emperor Jiajing's punishment today was also far beyond Zhu Pingan's expectations.═.[.
He was given a royal staff and then thrown into prison to be punished on a certain day!
What does Ming Zheng Dian Xing mean? Ming means to show; it means punishment; Dian Xing also means law. The four words Ming Zheng Dian Xing combined mean to impose the death penalty in accordance with the law. This idiom is mostly used in In the official document or announcement of the execution of the prisoner.
This means that after beating Shen Lian's imperial staff, the court will choose a good and auspicious day to execute Shen Lian!
This is inconsistent with Zhu Ping'an's own understanding of history. In history, Emperor Jiajing just hit Shen Lian's imperial staff and matched him with the border, so why did he want to kill Shen Lian now?
Regardless of whether Shen Lian is impulsive or irrational, it is undeniable that Shen Lian is a good person. His intentions are good and his purpose is also good.
Zhu Pingan couldn't help but watch such a good official die.
It just so happened that he had such an opportunity to meet the Holy Spirit, so he must seize it. Zhu Ping'an thought secretly in his heart.
"My dear, why don't you come closer?" Emperor Jiajing looked at Zhu Ping'an, who was stunned, and couldn't help but put down the memorial and asked in a deep voice.
Only then did Zhu Ping'an realize that Emperor Jiajing had indeed motioned for him to come forward and speak, but because he was thinking about Shen Lian, he was a little distracted. How should I put it? What excuse should I use? Emperor Jiajing was a narrow-minded person. Especially since he is angry now. If he doesn't answer well, not only will the good impression he made with Emperor Jiajing be gone, but he may also leave a bad impression with Emperor Jiajing.
In this era of feudal imperial power, the emperor's likes and dislikes are related to your future, so you must be cautious.
In the midst of this electric light and flint, Zhu Pingan suddenly caught a glimpse of Emperor Jiajing's dragon robe hanging on the ground. A story circulated in unofficial history about the imperial doctor's visit to Jiajing emerged in Zhu Pingan's mind. The imperial doctor saw Emperor Jiajing hanging on the ground. When he was wearing his dragon robe, he said something that made Emperor Jiajing happy. This story happened in the last years of Jiajing and was not yet alive, but the situation was quite similar.
It’s hard to say for others, but it’s really suitable for someone as fastidious as Jiajing.
Feeling at ease, Zhu Pingan saluted Emperor Jiajing calmly and said: "Your Majesty's dragon robe is on the ground, and I dare not come near."
His Majesty's dragon robe is on the ground, and I dare not come near. This seemingly simple sentence scratched an itch in Emperor Jiajing's heart.
The dragon robe is hanging on the ground. Zhu Pingan said this, which shows his loyalty to me. On the ground, he said that he is a human; if it is underground, then I am not a ghost. Emperor Jiajing was angry because of Shen Lian's letter. , two or three points disappeared under Zhu Pingan's words.
The difference between above ground and underground was a world of difference in Emperor Jiajing's heart.
Emperor Jiajing pulled up the dragon robe hanging on the ground with his hands, placed it on the dragon couch, and motioned to Zhu Pingan to come forward and reply.
After Zhu Pingan saluted, he walked to Emperor Jiajing.
"Take a look, what do you think?"
Emperor Jiajing gently threw the memorial in Zhu Pingan's hand and asked in a calm voice.
Zhu Ping'an took the memorial with both hands, confessed his crime to Emperor Jiajing, and then read it carefully. Of course, this was only a careful look on the surface, but in his heart he was thinking about how to reply to Emperor Jiajing. Emperor Jiajing was preconceived at this moment, and it was obvious that he was If you plead for Shen Lian or even speak for Shen Lian, not only will it not be able to save Shen Lian, but it will accelerate Shen Lian's tragedy, and it will also implicate yourself in Emperor Jiajing's anger. On the body.
"How?" A few minutes later, Emperor Jiajing looked directly at Zhu Pingan and asked.
"Excuse me, I must be frank, but this memorial has nothing to show for it." Zhu Ping'an bowed his hands and reported back.
"Oh?" Emperor Jiajing's eyes flashed as he examined Zhu Ping'an.
"The ten serious crimes are only based on words. There is no physical evidence, no witness, and no supporting evidence. Therefore, I bluntly stated that they are false and false." Zhu Pingan replied calmly under the scrutiny of Emperor Jiajing.
"Yeah." Jiajing nodded after hearing this, with a slight hint of anger on his face, "Such a villain doesn't want to serve the country, but he does these tricks to frame people. He deserves to be damned!"
"What your Majesty said is absolutely true. However, when I read this memorial, there is a hint of death in the words. I guess that a coffin has been prepared at home for a long time. The person who wants to die seeks fame."
At the end, Zhu Ping'an said something calmly, extinguishing the anger in Emperor Jiajing's heart. This guy Shen Lian wanted to die for fame, but I just couldn't satisfy him! (To be continued.)
