As autumn gets darker and early winter approaches, the weather in Jiankang becomes cooler day by day.
In the Manna Hall, His Majesty the Emperor had already put on a thicker robe and wrapped it around his body. He quietly looked at the two memorials in front of him.
One came from Shen Yi, and the other came from General Zhao Lu.
The emperor has already read these two memorials.
After a moment of silence, His Majesty the Emperor silently raised his head, looked at Gao Ming, and asked: "Have you read the memorial here?"
Gao Ming nodded and said: "Mr. Shen's secret letter was sent to the palace first. It was delivered at noon yesterday. However, Dr. Shen's official document was also delivered half a day later. As for General Zhao, he directly wrote two sentences.
One copy was sent to the palace, and the other was sent to Zhongshu."
The emperor had no expression on his face, nodded, and said, "Go and call Mr. Chen, I want to question him."
"yes."
Eunuch Gao quickly lowered his head and said respectfully: "Yes."
The great eunuch hesitated for a moment, then left the Manlu Palace in person, went to Zhongshu in person, and found Chen Jing.
Gao Ming lowered his head slightly and said with a smile: "Mr. Chen, Your Majesty has something to discuss with you, so we can invite you over."
Seeing Eunuch Gao come in person, Chen Jing did not dare to neglect, stood up quickly, bowed his hands to Gao Ming, and then asked: "What happened that made Eunuch Gao come in person?"
"have no idea."
Gao Ming shook his head and said with a smile: "But it shouldn't be a big deal, otherwise..."
He glanced at the remaining prime ministers and said with a smile: "Otherwise, all the ministers should have gone."
After Chen Jing thought for a while, he nodded slightly and said, "Okay, I will go with Eunuch Gao now."
As he said that, the old man turned back and glanced at the other four prime ministers.
Prime Minister Cui Yu was so anxious that he stood up and looked at Chen Jing.
Prime Minister Xie Min, on the other hand, was sitting in his seat like an old god, seemingly not seeing anything.
The other two prime ministers, Yu Fang and Yue Qian, looked at each other, then looked up at Chen Jing and shook their heads slightly.
Chen Xiang nodded in understanding, turned around and followed Gao Ming, and left Zhongshu together. Not long after, the two of them arrived at the Manlu Palace. Chen Jing walked up to His Majesty the Emperor, bowed slightly and saluted: "Your Majesty."
The emperor rubbed his eyes, waved his hands and said, "Sit, sit."
Chen Jing sat down carefully.
The emperor pointed to the two memorials in front of him, looked at Chen Jing, and said straight to the point: "Have you read these two memorials from Yanhuai, Prime Minister Chen and Zhongshu?"
Chen Jing nodded silently and said, "Yes, I and several prime ministers just discussed this matter today."
The emperor raised his eyebrows: "What do you mean?"
Chen Jing raised his head and glanced at the emperor's expression.
Emperor Hongde looked calm, with no emotional fluctuations visible on his face.
Now, he is already a qualified emperor, and he is already very familiar with the basic skill of keeping emotions in check.
Unable to understand the emperor's thoughts, Chen Jing could only lower his head slightly and said: "Your Majesty, when Zhongshu discussed this matter, he felt that if what Doctor Shen said was true, then General Zhao of the Huaihe Navy not only falsely accused the imperial court.
If you are an official and lie about your military exploits, you will have to send Jiankang to prison for questioning."
At this point, Chen Xiang was silent for a while and continued: "And if General Zhao's memorial is true, Doctor Shen seems to have committed a taboo of the imperial court and committed a serious crime of robbing military honors. It seems that he should be imprisoned in Jianjian
Kang asked guilty."
After hearing this, the emperor looked at Chen Jing, and the expression on his face turned into a slight sneer.
"What Mr. Chen means is that none of the memorials written by these two people is true, and it cannot be true, right?"
Chen Jing shook his head hurriedly and said: "Your Majesty, this is definitely not the intention of the old minister alone, but of Zhongshu..."
Chen Jing himself is definitely not willing to bear this kind of responsibility, so he can only bear it with everyone in Zhongshu.
"alright."
The emperor interrupted him impatiently and grunted: "You are best at writing three words."
"And the mud!"
"Everything will pass if it can be passed. If it can be postponed for a day, it will be a day, right?"
Chen Jing lowered his head and said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, the defense along the Huaihe River is the most important thing at the moment. There are some court affairs..."
"I had to turn a blind eye."
The emperor looked expressionless and asked: "What does Mr. Chen mean? How should this matter be handled?"
"Send people to Huai'an to reward the coastal capital of Huai'an."
"At the same time, we sent people to escort supplies and express condolences to the Huaihe Navy."
Chen Jing said slowly: "To clear up the misunderstanding between the two armies along the Huaihe River."
"What a way to clear up the misunderstanding!"
The emperor said "ha".
"What does it mean to be old and seek the country? Today I finally saw it."
The emperor looked at Chen Jing angrily and said slowly: "Mr. Chen, the court can pretend not to know about this matter, and I can also pretend not to know!"
He gritted his teeth and said bitterly: "But you, Prime Minister Chen, the prime ministers in Zhongshu, and me!"
"You can't really just pretend that nothing happened!"
"I hope you, Mr. Chen, will remember what I said today!"
After saying this, the emperor waved his hands angrily.
"Gao Ming, see the guests off."
Eunuch Gao immediately stood up and sent Chen Jing, who was somewhat frightened, away from the Manna Hall. When he was sent to the door of the Manna Hall, Chen Jing's eyelids jumped. He looked at Gao Ming and said cautiously: "Eunuch Gao, Your Majesty, he..."
"Don't worry, Mr. Chen."
Gao Ming squinted his eyes and smiled: "Your Majesty just lost his temper. Mr. Chen, just do whatever you should do after you go back."
Chen Jing returned to Zhongshu anxiously.
Eunuch Gao, on the other hand, turned around and returned to the Manna Hall. When he walked to the inner hall, His Majesty the Emperor was half lying on a soft couch eating snacks. When Eunuch Gao came back, the emperor asked lazily: "Old guy, let's go."
La?"
Eunuch Gao nodded first, then looked at the emperor cautiously and asked: "Your Majesty, are you not angry?"
】
"Angry, why not angry?"
The emperor curled his lips and said: "But at this time, there is no use in getting angry. Although those old guys in Zhongshu look like they are wilting all day long, which is very annoying, they did nothing wrong in this matter."
The emperor said lazily: "At this time, the Zhao family cannot be touched."
"The imperial court can only follow Hehe Xini."
Eunuch Gao poured a cup of tea for His Majesty the Emperor and said with a smile: "Then you were so angry just now. Didn't you see that when Mr. Chen walked out of the Manlu Hall, he was walking a little unsteadily and his legs were wobbling."
"I was angry because of Chen Jing."
At this point, the emperor glanced at Gao Ming and said angrily: "Old Chen's legs are shaking, and he is probably shaking them for you to see."
Gao Ming lowered his head carefully, smiled and said nothing.
The emperor ate a snack and narrowed his eyes with satisfaction: "Besides, I have no gray hair after this fire. I want those old guys to remember Shen Qi's contribution and the achievements of General Du Si."
"Remember how the Huaihe Navy was so domineering and discredited the heroes of the imperial court!"
"In this way, when I promote Shen Qi in the future, these old guys won't be able to say a word."
Having said this, the emperor opened his eyes, looked outside the palace door, and sighed slightly: "It's a pity that Zhao Lu reacted too quickly."
"If he doesn't submit to this competing memorial, my plan can be launched immediately."
Emperor Hongde has always had an out-of-the-box temper, and his mind jumps very quickly. He easily jumps from one topic to another very quickly. After thinking about it, he suddenly looked back at Gao Ming and asked: "Last time, I asked you to
Looking for a new house for the Shen family, have you done so?"
Eunuch Gao lowered his head and said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, the Shen house that Mr. Shen lives in now was copied from the house of the Shaoqing of Dali Temple. To build Kangcheng, it is not impossible to copy a bigger and better house, but after all,
not easy…"
"I will give you a direction."
The emperor said calmly: "Go and check the Ministry of Works. There are many wealthy businessmen under the officials of the Ministry of Works."
"In recent years, they have dared to pay thousands or even tens of thousands of taels of silver for the construction of palaces in the palace."
The emperor snorted and continued.
"If it doesn't work, just go find those nobles who do evil and cause trouble."
"Hurry up and find a new house. Let Shen Qi tidy it up before he returns to Beijing."
Having said this, the emperor shook his head helplessly: "He has been doing meritorious service, but I won't be able to reward him with an official position for a while. I have to give him some tangible benefits. Otherwise, it will take a long time, and he will feel that he should not be rewarded with an official position."
Feeling comfortable."
What does Jane in the Emperor's heart mean? This is called Jane in the Emperor's heart!
What is Holy Volume Zhenglong?
Shen Yi is the template.
After hearing the emperor's words, Eunuch Gao felt envious in his heart.
He immediately lowered his head slightly and looked respectful.
