Xia Shouzhong had followed the emperor for so many years and knew his temper and temperament well, and now he fully understood what the emperor meant.
Xia Shouzhong immediately pretended to be trembling and walked down the imperial steps almost step by step, as if he was afraid of Jia Ke and how reluctant he was to get close to Jia Ke.
Just like this, Xia Shouzhong came to Jia Ke's side step by step, and then you gently supported Jia Ke with both hands. His movements were as gentle as if Jia Ke was a piece of extremely precious porcelain.
Jia Ke is not someone to be trifled with. Although he was a little complacent some time ago, now that he has recovered, he has to accompany the emperor to continue the drama.
So Jia Ke used both arms hard, and his whole body seemed to be nailed to the ground. Xia Shouzhong was just an ordinary eunuch, so there was no way he could compete with Jia Ke. At first, Xia Shouzhong still gently supported Jia Ke, but in the end, he realized that
Ke couldn't move at all, so he had to use all his strength to lift Jia Ke up from the ground, but it seemed to be of no use. No matter how hard he tried, it was like an ant shaking a tree.
But the ministers below saw such a funny scene. A eunuch kept exerting force next to Jia Ke. It was not known whether he was really out of energy or pretending. He was stunned and could not move the man in front of him in the slightest.
At this time, the emperor couldn't stand it anymore. He would never let Jia Ke kneel down like this again, otherwise he would think he was going to do something to him.
Now the emperor has remembered that Jia Ke is a military commander, and he seems to be very powerful. If he doesn't want to remember, Xia Shouzhong will never be able to help him up.
In this case, he would try again later. So the emperor immediately stood up, walked to the imperial steps, and then walked quickly to Jia Ke, supported Jia Ke with both hands, and then said to him: "Jia Aiqing, what are you doing?
Already? You are in charge of everything in this world, and these ministers are also yours to deal with. Please get up quickly, please get up quickly."
Jia Ke couldn't pretend anymore. Even the emperor came to help you and you still didn't dare to stand up. So Jia Ke had no choice but to stand up. Although he stood up, he still bowed and did not dare to stand up straight immediately.
"Your Majesty, I am loyal to the Supreme Emperor and His Majesty. I have never done what they said. Please, Your Majesty, just bypass me." Jia Ke still pretended to beg.
"Jia Aiqing, what are you saying? What do you want me to do? Don't worry, Jia Aiqing, I will definitely seek justice for you." The emperor showed fear on his face and quickly assured Jia Ke.
Before Jia Ke could continue to refute, the emperor suddenly became furious. He walked up to several kneeling censors and roared loudly: "You guys are so shameless that you dare to impeach the military leader of the dynasty. You
Do you have any more royal skills?"
The emperor's words were harsh, but tears kept flowing from his eyes. When these kneeling censors saw this situation, they didn't know that the emperor was forced by Jia Ke to talk about his business, and they might have been unable to control themselves.
As the saying goes: The strong wind knows the strong grass, and the rough wind knows the honest minister. The brave man knows the righteousness, and the wise man must be benevolent. Now is the time for us scholars to sacrifice our lives for righteousness, and we must not harm the king.
So Shao Yi, the leading censor, stood up and cursed loudly at Jia Ke: "Shameless villain, don't force the king like this, don't you just want my life? I will go to the prison and wait to see what you do.
Leave it to me."
After the censor Shao Yi said these words, he took off his black gauze hat and the bright red official robe. He held his head high and walked out of the palace. Several other young censors followed suit and took off their clothes too.
Wusha Mao took off his big red robe and followed Shao Yi out of the hall.
At this moment, Mr. Meng Ming, the head of the Hanlin Academy, came out tremblingly and said to the censors who were about to walk out of the hall: "What are you guys going to do? Do you really want to die for your country? Now you still have to do it."
It’s not time for you to be loyal.”
When the three young censors who were walking out heard Mr. Meng Ming's words, they all turned around and looked at Mr. Meng Ming.
Meng Ming is also a famous figure among scholars, especially among the young Langtouqing, many people even regard him as a role model.
I saw Meng Ming coming to the emperor first, bowing and saying to the emperor: "Your Majesty's difficulties are known to me. But the most important thing in this world is filial piety. Please bear with me for a while."
Although Lao Mengming pitied the emperor, he knew that the one in power now was the Supreme Emperor, and his current position was given by the Supreme Emperor. If he betrayed the Supreme Emperor now, there would be no good fruits to be had in the future. Therefore, now, the Emperor actually asked him to be careful and patient, and not to
It's too much to anger the Emperor anymore.
In Lao Mengming's view, today's events were caused by the emperor again. The troubles kept happening one after another, and it was unknown how long the emperor could endure it.
At this time, the emperor's eyes were filled with tears. He grabbed Meng Ming's hand and said, "Old dear, I have nothing to say. It's all up to you and Jia Ke. Please don't embarrass me."
After saying this, I burst into tears.
This sentence includes even Lao Meng Ming. This puts Lao Meng Ming and Jia Ke in the same position. Both of them are powerful officials in the government.
This made Lao Mengming extremely embarrassed. In fact, Lao Mengming had already seen through the emperor's intention, and he had just warned the emperor, hoping that the emperor would stop making trouble and wait until the death of the Supreme Emperor before talking about anything else. Unexpectedly, the emperor said a few words.
He got in too.
Lao Mengming is also a little angry now. Why do you say that you, the emperor, do not distinguish between good and bad? I have good intentions to help you, but you framed me like this and ruined my reputation. So don't blame me for being rude to you.
Several young people who were about to walk out of the hall saw the emperor begging Meng Ming like this. They were thinking that Meng Ming was the person arranged by the Supreme Emperor and must be with Jia Ke, so they looked at Meng Ming with disdain.
, the meaning of that look is that Meng Ming night will not be able to guarantee his marriage.
When Lao Mengming saw the looks in his eyes from the people in the main hall, he knew that he had been forced into a corner by the emperor.
"What are you saying, Your Majesty? We are assisting the Emperor on the orders of the Supreme Emperor. Could it be that the Emperor is dissatisfied with the Supreme Emperor and feels that the Supreme Emperor is in debt to the Emperor?" Old Meng Ming has also taken the risk now. Don't blame me for your emperor's unkindness.
Unrighteous.
After hearing what Old Meng Ming said, the emperor was shocked and felt that he had gone too far this time. He didn't know what it would be like if the news of his making such a fuss reached the ears of the Supreme Emperor.
Thinking of this, the emperor felt that he should calm down quickly and not let the matter develop any further. He just wanted to get rid of Jia Ke and did not want to fall out with the Supreme Emperor.
"Meng Aiqing, even if I have great courage, I don't dare to be dissatisfied with my father's decree. I just said the wrong thing in excitement."
After the emperor said this, he said to the people below: "My dear friends, that's all for today. Don't continue to make trouble."
As for the ministers in the main hall, many old foxes had already understood what the emperor meant. They couldn't help but praise in their hearts. The emperor was indeed the wise and powerful third prince who knew when to show weakness and when to be strong.
At this time, Sun Yan, the Minister of Punishment, suddenly stood up and said to the young people below: "You guys don't know how powerful you are, so you dare to offend Mr. Jia. It's not a big deal." After saying this, he turned to the emperor again.
He said angrily: "Your Majesty, these people have insulted the minister and have committed a lot of crimes. Please take them down and hand them over to the minister."
Sun Yan, the Minister of Punishment, seemed to be forcing the emperor, but he was blinking like the emperor as he spoke.
The emperor was stunned by him at first. Wasn't this Sun Yan the first minister to seek refuge with him? Why did his face change so quickly? When he saw the other party blinking at him, he understood.
He has seen his own intentions and is acting with him, and at the same time, he is also repaying these loyal ministers for himself.
So the emperor shed tears and took a step back pretending to be scared. Then he gritted his teeth, waved his hand to Sun Yan and said, "It's up to you. I'm going back to the harem now."
After saying this, he staggered towards the back of the main hall, but his personal eunuch Xia Shouzhong hurried over and supported the emperor while crying. The two of them just looked desolately out of the Qianqing Gate.
Jia Ke was acting with them at first. Later, when he saw the civil servants in the dynasty, most of them already understood what was going on, but he stood there and acted with the emperor. He could never act like someone else. Moreover, he stood there and acted with the emperor.
I'm afraid no one would watch it if he acted it, and even if they saw it, they wouldn't tell it. They would only talk about how they forced the emperor and how they deceived him. Jia Ke simply stopped acting.
Jia Ke thought in his mind, but now he has to see how the Supreme Emperor will deal with it? He originally missed the Supreme Emperor's kindness and kindness to him. Even if he takes control of the court in the future, will he be Huo Guang or Wang Mang or one of the two? It seems that there is not much now.
The choice is left to him. This emperor is planning his life every moment, can he still leave a way out for himself?
After the emperor left the Qianqing Gate, all the ministers in the main hall sighed and left one by one, as if they had witnessed such a treasonous thing today.
But at this moment, Jia Ke spoke: "These censors who falsely accused the ministers have violated the emperor's will. The scriptures say that all memorials cannot be reported to the emperor without being handled by the military. Those few people
It is obvious that he is trying to deceive the emperor."
All the ministers who were about to leave the hall were shocked when they heard Jia Ke's words, and at the same time felt a cold air rising behind their backs.
Sun Yan, the Minister of Punishment, felt that something was not right. If Jia Ke was allowed to continue talking like this, these young and courageous civil servants might have their families confiscated and exterminated.
"Master Jia said something too much. Although these people made some small mistakes today, they still act with a public heart. Master Jia still has to be merciful and merciful."
After hearing what he said, Jia Ke felt angry in his heart and evil in his heart. What does it mean to be merciful and merciful? When did you civil servants spare me? Didn't you say that I am a powerful minister? Then I am today
Just act like a powerful minister and show it to you. Jia Ke has forgotten about the Supreme Emperor. Now he just wants to have a good time and air out all the grievances he just suffered.
So Jia Ke angrily said to Sun Yan: "Since we have violated the imperial edict, there is no way to forgive others. These people should all be put on death row and be executed in the future."
When Sun Yan saw Jia Ke talking loudly, he knew that he was already impatient and could not continue to stimulate him now, so he Wen Yan said: "Although there is something wrong with these people, they are working for the emperor after all, and they have no principles.
They will definitely be grateful to Mr. Jia for sparing them this time on the sexual issue."
Jia Ke glanced at him sideways and said to himself, do you still think I am a fool? Except at this time, they are grateful to me? Now they want to eat my flesh.
So Jia Ke said angrily: "No one can save them today. You can send them to death row now. You don't have to wait for the autumn. They will be executed at Caishikou in a few days."
Sun Yan looked at Jia Ke and knew that this time, if the Emperor had not spoken, no one would have been able to save these people.
Shao Yi and several other young censors who were kneeling below were also furious, "Jia Ke, you are the treacherous official who brought disaster to the country. You are just going to die today. When we go underground, we will still stand with you in front of Emperor Taizu."
"
Jia Ke looked at these people and said with a sneer: "That's it, you can fight me in front of Emperor Taizu first. When I go underground, we can tell the difference together in front of Emperor Taizu."
After Jia Ke said this, he said to Sun Yan: "These people will be put on death row immediately, and there is no need to interrogate them. They will be interrogated and executed at the entrance of the vegetable market in a few days. If there is any mistake, I will ask it for you."
After Jia Ke said these words, he left the hall angrily. Today's facts really made him angry. It's true that a tiger has no intention of harming others, and others have harmful intentions. He thought that it would be better to make a smooth transition before the death of the Supreme Emperor. It seems that it is still
I am too naive.
There is no stability in the face of power. Either the east wind overwhelms the west wind, or the west wind overpowers the east wind. In this case, you should honestly be your own powerful minister.
As soon as Jia Ke walked out of the hall, Old Meng Ming came to Jia Ke's side and said, "Master Jia, I think you should retreat to the mountains and forests, otherwise a big disaster is not far away."
This old Meng Ming still hasn't figured out the specific situation. He always thought that the emperor regarded Jia Ke as a thorn in his flesh, and Jia Ke was just a fish on the emperor's chopping board. As long as the emperor dies, there will be no good fruits to eat.
"Since I became an official, I have fought in the south and north, fought in the east and blocked the west. I asked myself that I have never done anything wrong to the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor. Why did they treat me like this?" Jia Ke said sadly and angrily at this time. In front of this old Mengmin, Jia Ke was still
He has to pretend. After all, he is still his only ally in the military aircraft department, and he also wants to save some face.
Old Mengming sighed and patted Jia Ke, "It's not that the emperor doesn't want to let you go, but that the civil servants in the dynasty don't want to let you go. If you continue like this, I'm afraid even heaven won't want to let you go." Old Mengming
Finally, I said something, if it means anything.
Jia Ke glanced at old Meng Ming, who thought he was smart, then cupped his hands and walked out of the hall in grief and indignation.
Old Mengmin was left looking at Jia Ke's back, shaking his head.
