Although Xie Qian is a scholar, he is a tough-looking, tall, powerful and powerful guy. The most profound impression of him is that after drinking, his face is red, his eyes are wide open, and he is frothing while talking.
, he would put his hands on his hips and clench his fists in anger if he disagreed with her, which has nothing to do with elegance.
The three slaps from Xie Qian were so severe that Liu Jin felt as if she had been slapped in the face with an iron board. Her gums on both sides were loose, her cheeks were burning and swollen, and she almost fainted.
"Ah! I killed someone! Your Majesty, help me!" Liu Jin cried loudly and hid behind Zhu Houzhao.
Zhu Houzhao was shocked at first, and then his face turned red.
"Thank you, sir, don't make any mistakes." Li Dongyang stopped him loudly.
It was really inappropriate for Xie Qian to do this in front of the emperor. Beating a dog depends on the owner. Although Liu Jin is hateful, what would the emperor think if Xie Qian beat him? This is extremely inappropriate.
"Thank you, sir, don't stop!" Liu Jian also shouted hurriedly.
Xie Qian was furious, but Liu Jian and Li Dongyang stopped him, so he turned around and walked back angrily.
"Your Majesty, Sir Xie was angry for a moment because the Emperor was extremely worried after he was in danger. Please don't blame him." Li Dongyang saw that Zhu Houzhao's face was red. He was obviously holding back his anger and was busy trying to smooth things over.
Zhu Houzhao was indeed very angry. The fifteen-year-old young emperor was already very angry. Xie Qian beat Liu Jin in front of him. This was a sign of disregard for himself. In any case, they could not do this.
However, Zhu Houzhao still suppressed the anger in his heart and did not want to pursue Xie Qian's behavior. He himself was wrong and sneaked out of the capital to patrol the border. After encountering danger, Zhu Houzhao regretted it. His regret was also expressed by Zhang Yanling
Too much
This time, the court was in chaos, and the court soldiers and horses were mobilized in a hurry. There was no peace at all levels, and Zhu Houzhao was already worried. If Liu Jin's slaps could calm the anger in the outer court, then they should be considered as his.
Worth it.
Zhu Houzhao breathed a sigh of relief and said in a deep voice: "If I am not angry, how could I be angry? Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, gentlemen. I want to return to the capital immediately. I wonder if you will allow it? If not, I will not return to the capital.
.I will go to Xuan Mansion to stay, and I will never return to the capital for the rest of my life."
When everyone heard this, their scalps went numb and panicked. The emperor's words were an extremely serious accusation. It sounded like he was angry, but he was accusing everyone in the outer court of not allowing the emperor to return to the capital. Wouldn't that be treason?
"Your Majesty, how dare you, your ministers, obstruct your return to the capital? Your Majesty, please do not say such a thing."
"Yes, I am here to greet you."
Everyone said one after another.
"Who dares to prevent the emperor from returning to Beijing? I want to ask whether I agree." British Duke Zhang Mao said loudly.
Liu Jian's face was ashen and he frowned and said nothing.
"The emperor's words are serious, how can I dare to stop the emperor from returning to the capital? I cannot bear the emperor's words." Li Dongyang said hurriedly.
Zhu Houzhao smiled and said: "I was just joking, I didn't mean anything else. The weather is hot. If you have anything to do, how about we discuss it after we return to Beijing?"
Li Dongyang said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, please get up and drive!"
Zhu Houzhao nodded and said in a deep voice: "Liu Jin, don't cover your mouth. It's your honor to be given a few slaps by Bachelor Xie. Why don't you go and lead the horse?"
Liu Jin agreed with a grimace, hurriedly went to fetch the horse, and helped Zhu Houzhao get on the horse.
"Get off and go back to the capital." Zhu Houzhao shouted loudly, whipped the horse, and the horse galloped past Liu Jian, Li Dongyang and other ministers, and flew away.
Liu Jin didn't care about the pain in his face. He and Gu Dayong and others got on their horses and chased after them, shouting loudly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please slow down and be careful. Don't fall down. Your Majesty..."
Mou Bin also immediately mounted his horse and led the Han generals in Jin Yiwei to catch up.
Smoke and dust enveloped Liu Jian, Li Dongyang and others. By the time the smoke cleared, Zhu Houzhao and others had already run far away. Civil and military officials got into their carriages and horses in disorder and prepared to go on their way, but Liu Jian and others stood still.
Li Dongyang patted the dust on his clothes, frowned and said solemnly: "Master Xie, you are too impulsive. How could you be like this? You have lost your decency."
Xie Qian looked angrily and said, "Why not? Liu Jin is so hateful, so I slapped him lightly. It would not be unfair to kill him."
Han Wen, Shangshu of the Ministry of Revenue, also said: "That's right, Mr. Xie did the right thing. If it weren't for the instigation of Liu Jian and his gang, how could the emperor dare to do this? These dogs are lawless and must be severely punished. Listen to what the emperor said, there is nothing wrong with it.
The intention of repentance is to put us in a place of disloyalty. It is all Liu Jin and his gang who have taught the emperor bad things."
Li Dongyang frowned and said: "Master Han, please don't cause trouble. No matter what, you can't ignore the rules, right? You can't ignore the decency, right? If you go up, you'll beat someone. After all, Liu Jin is also a member of the inner court, someone close to the emperor."
Xie Qian said loudly: "If it weren't for the people around the emperor, I wouldn't fight him."
Li Dongyang glared and said, "You..."
Xie Qian said: "What's wrong with me? I'm not like you, Mr. Li, who is looking forward and backward all day long to thank you. You are thoughtful, but what about the situation? The emperor's behavior is already so absurd, but you can't dissuade him.
, what’s the use of your caution?”
Li Dongyang said in a deep voice: "Master Xie, no matter what, we must take into account the overall situation. We must act in a measured manner. We are thinking about the overall situation of the Ming Dynasty. Liu Jin is hateful, and there will be ways to punish him. You are impulsive today. What is the emperor thinking?"
What do others think when they look at it?"
Xie Qian rolled his sleeves and said, "Master Li, don't teach me a lesson. I knew you couldn't stand me, so you just read my book."
"You...are unreasonable!" Li Dongyang was speechless again.
"Stop arguing! What's there to argue about? It's just beating a eunuch, it's not a big deal. But Dongyang is right, Mr. Xie, how can you ignore etiquette? Zhang Mao, Xu Guangzuo and the others are all here, doesn't it mean to call them
Got the handle?" Liu Jian shouted in a deep voice.
Xie Qian sneered and said: "Them? Their accounts haven't been settled yet. That Zhang Yanling is also the chief culprit in this matter, and their relatives still need to give an explanation."
Liu Jian shouted: "Master Xie, you won't listen to what I say, right?"
When Xie Qian saw Liu Jian getting angry, he shut up.
Zhu Houzhao rode his horse and ran for several miles before being caught up by everyone. Zhu Houzhao did not want to be too stiff, so he returned to the army formation, and more than 100,000 soldiers and horses from the Beijing camp escorted the holy driver to the capital.
Xu Guangzuo didn't see Zhang Yanling, and felt a little strange. On the way, he found an opportunity to ask Zhang Yin, the injured attendant of Nanzhen Fusi, and then learned that Zhang Yanling was delayed and had not returned, and he was afraid that he would have to wait for the soldiers and horses of Xuanfu Town to take over the independence.
Shicheng will come back.
Xu Guangzuo wanted to know from Zhang Yin some specific circumstances of the border patrol and the encounter with the Tatars. Unexpectedly, Zhang Yin told Xu Guangzuo clearly that Mr. Zhang said hello, and everything would be based on the emperor and the people around him.
What is said shall prevail. If you want to know the specific situation, go and ask the emperor, Liu Jin and others. None of the people accompanying Nanzhen Fusi are too talkative.
After hearing this, Xu Guangzuo was annoyed, but he had no choice. He could only wait for Zhang Yanling to come back before venting his anger on him.
On the sixth day of July, Zhu Houzhao finally returned to the capital after leaving the capital for nearly fifty days. In the past fifty days, the court, the border town and the outside were in chaos. Everything happened because of him.
After returning to the capital, Zhu Houzhao immediately issued an imperial edict to rest for three days on the grounds that he was tired and tired, and to come back to the court three days later to discuss matters. Liu Jian and others had no choice but to force it. The emperor returned from a long tour and experienced war with the Tatars.
It is not too much to ask for three days' rest when fighting.
On the second day after returning to Beijing, Zhu Houzhao summoned Zhu Hui, the Baoguo Gong who had accompanied him to Beijing. On that day, a briefing on the battle history of Xuanfu Town's encounter with the Tatar invasion written by Baoguo Gong Zhu Hui was delivered to the Ministry of War.
The briefing stated that the Tatars intended to attack with two armies from the east and west and encircle the army in Xuanfu Town. The emperor learned of the military situation and decisively led his entourage to the north to resist the enemy. With thousands of troops, he defended Dushi City and held the enemy for several days, insisting on reinforcements.
Arrive. Thus thwarting the Tatar invasion conspiracy and annihilating tens of thousands of enemies.
In the briefing, General Zhu Houzhao boasted about his brilliance and martial prowess, a genius rarely seen in the world. He said that the emperor could kill hundreds of enemies by himself and was brave enough to defeat the three armies. The Tatars were frightened by the news and dispersed.
Liu Daxia, Minister of War, almost laughed out loud when he saw this briefing. It seemed that the emperor was determined to tell this lie to the end. In fact, regarding the Tatar invasion and fighting in Xuanfu, Liu Daxia had already informed the local department of Xuanfu
The general learned first hand
News. Although there are no details of the battle at Dushi City, one thing is certain is that the Tatars learned about the emperor's border patrol, and then adopted the strategy of attacking in the east and west, with the purpose of attacking the emperor. It is definitely not something
The two-pronged invasion conspiracy was foiled by the emperor.
The emperor instructed Zhu Hui to write this briefing. In fact, he was asking him to endorse him and try his best to cover up the serious consequences of his trip and dilute the impact of his sneaking out of the capital. Zhu Hui made a mistake in judgment and did not rescue him in time.
, he could only write according to the emperor's wishes in order to get rid of the guilt.
Liu Daxia immediately sent this briefing to the cabinet. The three cabinet ministers looked at each other speechless after reading it. Xie Qian cursed three times in a row and smashed the teacup in anger.
Xie Qian sneered: "What are you waiting for? We have to decide how to act immediately. The emperor will not correct himself until the evil is eliminated. We hope that the emperor can repent and reform, but that is probably wishful thinking. The emperor has gone crazy and must be eliminated.
Only by getting rid of those treacherous people can the emperor take the right path. Otherwise, if we let them continue to do this, the consequences will be disastrous."
Liu Jian nodded and said: "Yes, it seems that it will be impossible if you don't make up your mind. Dongyang, what do you think? The emperor is still covering up this matter, which shows that he has no remorse at all, and he is even thinking of using this matter to
Singing praises is simply ridiculous. Dongyang, what do you think?"
Li Dongyang frowned and said: "It's indeed too much. But don't act too much. We'd better give him some advice first."
Xie Qian chuckled and said: "Why don't you make peace with Xini? Mr. Li, please don't forget the instructions of the late emperor. Half a year after he took the throne, the emperor has become what he is today. You and I are both responsible. We are sorry for the late emperor, and history books will scold us for being incompetent in the future."
.We will all have our spines pointed at and scolded.”
Li Dongyang remained silent.
Liu Jian said in a deep voice: "No need to think about it, we have to take action. This time we must solve those scourges no matter what. Dongyang, listen to me, you can't let it go anymore. Mr. Xie is right, we can't live up to the great trust of the late emperor."
, we cannot allow the emperor to do whatever he wants."
