Chapter Five Hundred and Twenty-Five The Great Manager [1 More]
Seeing the emperor relent, Chen Ding breathed a sigh of relief and saluted the emperor: "Your Majesty, you are wise!"
Several other people, such as Wang Yangming and Yang Yiqing, just glanced at Chen Ding. They came here not to plead for Han Li and Sun Zhong, but because of Chen Ding's face.
Now that the Emperor has made a decision, Yang Yiqing and Wang Yangming all bid farewell to the Emperor.
In the imperial study room, Han Li, Sun Zhong and others who were originally left in the study room to reflect on their mistakes because of the emperor's wrath were still a little frightened after encouraging each other. However, amid everyone's words,
Gradually, I felt more and more that the Emperor and Chu Yi did not dare to do anything to them.
"Everyone, we are all veterans of several dynasties. Unless His Majesty no longer cares about his own reputation, otherwise, he would not dare to do anything to me."
"Yes, so what if it's Chu Yi, as long as we haven't committed a heinous crime, can he still use unfounded charges against us?"
"Tsk, tsk, Chu Yi has always boasted of persuading people with reason. If this is the case, if he wants to deal with us, he must produce evidence of our crimes. Why should everyone be afraid!"
"Hahaha……"
The faces of several old ministers were all smiles, but there was no trace of the fear they had when the emperor was angry.
There was a sound of footsteps, and then a chamberlain was seen walking into the imperial study. This chamberlain was a close confidant of the emperor and was ordered to deliver the decree.
Dong Yuan, the chamberlain, knew these elders in the imperial study quite well. I originally thought that these elders must have a look of fear on their faces at this moment.
But when Dong Yuan walked into the imperial study, he happened to hear Sun Zhong and Han Li laughing happily. This made Dong Yuan feel a little curious. Could it be that these elders were frightened and went crazy? Otherwise,
It was obvious that he was left in the imperial study because he had angered the emperor. Why was he still laughing so heartily?
When Sun Zhong, Han Li and others looked up and saw Dong Yuan, they snorted coldly, with a bit of disdain in their eyes.
In the eyes of Han Li, Sun Zhong and others, all the servants in the palace were treacherous people who deceived the emperor, and the biggest and most damned one was Chu Yi.
Therefore, Dong Yuan, Sun Zhong, and Han Li did not have a good impression of them, and Dong Yuan ignored the attitudes of these people.
These veterans were veterans of several dynasties, and they were all seniors in the court. Even Zhu Houzhao would not want to provoke these people under normal circumstances.
It's not that there's nothing we can do against them, it's that these people are too old, and any move they make may cause criticism from hundreds of officials.
As if he didn't see the expressions of several people, Dong Yuan coughed lightly and said: "Your Majesty's decree!"
Although Sun Zhong and Han Li had just encouraged each other and felt a little more confident, they couldn't help but look at Dong Yuan now. After all, they had no idea how the emperor would deal with them.
"I respectfully listen to the edict!"
Then Dong Yuan said slowly: "With Sun Zhong, Han Li and others go back home and think about their mistakes behind closed doors!"
After hearing the emperor's edict conveyed by Dong Yuan, Sun Zhong and Han Li were slightly stunned at first, and then their faces showed joy.
"I am waiting for your order!"
While talking, Sun Zhong and Han Li stood up unsteadily one by one. Because they had been kneeling for a long time, they staggered when they stood up and almost fell to the ground.
Dong Yuan subconsciously stepped forward to help an old minister, but the old minister looked disgusted, flicked his sleeves and said, "Let go!"
Dong Yuan frowned and immediately let go. As a result, the veteran's body softened and he knelt on the ground with a thud, kneeling in front of Dong Yuan.
Seeing this situation, Dong Yuan, who was very happy in his heart, smiled and said: "Oh, Master Lu, what do you mean by this? Our family cannot afford such a big gift from Master Lu!"
Lu Zhi stood up with the support of Sun Zhong and Han officials. He glared at Dong Yuan fiercely, flicked his sleeves and said, "Everyone, let's go!"
Looking at the figures of Lu Zhi, Sun Zhong, and Han Li, Dong Yuan smiled from behind and said: "Masters, please go all the way and be careful where you step!"
Lu Zhi, who had made a big mistake just now, staggered and almost fell to the ground. He involuntarily sped up a few minutes.
At the entrance of the palace, Sun Zhong, Han Li, and Lu Zhi came out of the Forbidden City. Their faces were filled with joy. In their opinion, the emperor had surrendered to them. After all, their previous actions had the following offenses: forcing the palace
Suspicion, otherwise, the emperor would not be so angry.
However, the emperor finally asked them to go back and think about their mistakes. In the eyes of Lu Zhi and Sun Zhong, this was simply a sign that they had overpowered the emperor.
The emperor has nothing to do with them, he can only vent his anger in this way.
As for whether the emperor felt aggrieved, Lu Zhi and the others didn't care. After all, they thought, this was a victory they achieved when facing the emperor.
The emperor has nothing to do with them, so next, they have to take advantage of the victory and pursue it. It is impossible to close the door behind closed doors, and they will never close the door and think about their mistakes in this life.
Those colleagues and disciples who were captured by Dongchang and Jinyiwei are still waiting for them to rescue them. Even if these people are involved in the assassination of Chu, how can a mere Chu Yi be able to communicate with dozens of North Koreans?
Compared with military officers.
They had to make the emperor understand at all costs that it was wrong to favor eunuchs and that only ministers like them were worthy of trust.
"Everyone, go back and have a good rest. Tomorrow Chu Yi will return. I will use the best spirit to ask the eunuch what virtue he has and how he can be worthy of being welcomed by me and other civil and military officials!"
Just at the entrance of the palace, Han Li, Sun Zhong, and Lu Zhi, several old ministers, held their heads high and looked like they had won the battle, and swaggered back to their homes.
In the imperial garden, Zhu Houzhao, who was teasing the little prince, seemed to be in a very good mood because Chu Yi was about to return, or because of the little prince.
He looked up and saw Dong Yuan coming slowly. He smiled slightly and said, "Have Dong Yuan, Han Li, and Sun Zhong left the palace?"
Dong Yuan bowed and said: "Reporting to your Majesty, I sent someone to escort them out of the palace in person. I think they have already used the Forbidden City by now."
Nodding slightly, Zhu Houzhao said: "It's okay to leave. If it weren't for their status and the fact that Mr. Chen Ge invited several elders to plead for mercy, they would really not be spared!"
It can be seen that Zhu Houzhao is quite dissatisfied with Sun Zhong and Han Li.
Opening his mouth, Dong Yuan seemed to want to say something, but he swallowed the words when he reached his mouth. He was no better than Chu Yi and Gu Da. They accompanied Zhu Houzhao to celebrate the New Year, but when facing Zhu Houzhao, it was impossible.
I can say anything.
Noticing the change in Dong Yuan's expression, Zhu Houzhao said: "Dong Yuan, what do you have to say?"
Dong Yuan looked around, lowered his voice slightly and said: "I'm so brave, but it's about the affairs of the Han officials. I don't know whether to talk about it or not!"
Zhu Houzhao asked curiously: "Oh, how many people are there in the Han Dynasty? You might as well tell us!"
With a serious look on his face, Dong Yuan said: "I went to deliver the order on your majesty's order, but I heard several adults laughing loudly in the imperial study room. I didn't know why, but after the adults left,
The servant asked several chamberlains who were in the imperial study room at that time, but they said..."
Seeing that Dong Yuan was hesitant, Zhu Houzhao frowned and said, "What on earth did they say?"
Dong Yuan gritted his teeth and said: "The Han officials said that your Majesty should not favor the chief executive. This is not the behavior of a wise king. If your Majesty punishes them, they will be despised by the people of the world..."
Zhu Houzhao narrowed his eyes and sat there with an unchanged expression. He held a teacup in one hand and played with it. Zhu Houzhao said with a half-smile, "Are they thinking that I really don't dare to do anything to them?"
As he spoke, Zhu Houzhao looked at the tea cup in his hand and said with a smile: "Pass my message to Cao Shaoqin, Qian Ning and the others, and ask them to give me a good look at these old men who are loyal to the king and the country. I want to take a look.
Are they really as honest as water and serving the country and the people?"
One night passed, and as the first ray of light from the sky illuminated the earth, a new day began.
The capital, which had been silent all night, suddenly became lively.
This day was not a meeting of the imperial court, but all the civil and military officials of the imperial court gathered in the Forbidden City one by one, because they had received the order early and left the city to welcome Chu Yi, who had returned in triumph.
No matter what you think in your heart, facing the emperor's will, unless you resist and disrespect it, you will inevitably end up in trouble.
In the Forbidden City, Zhu Houzhao, who stayed overnight at Concubine Shu, got up early in the morning to change his clothes. After eating the royal meal early, the officials of the Ministry of Rites were already ready.
Zhu Houzhao first met with all the officials, and after receiving their homage, he boarded the emperor's imperial carriage, followed by all the officials.
The guards of the twelve battalions above, such as Yulin Guards, Jinyi Guards, Longxiang Guards, Tiance Guards, etc., lined up early to wait.
As Emperor Luanjia slowly set off under the escort of twelve guards, Emperor Luanjia left the Forbidden City, and then headed straight for the city gate along the streets that had been cleared.
On the long street, groups of soldiers were lined up neatly like statues, isolating the people on both sides.
The Four Guards of Tengxiang were ordered to personally maintain order in the city. Han Kun, as the commander of the Four Guards of Tengxiang, personally supervised the matter. In order to ensure the safety of the Emperor Luan Jia, the Four Guards of Tengxiang dispatched tens of thousands of soldiers to clear the streets in advance. It can be said that the
Security is top notch.
The people all around watched the emperor's journey and couldn't help shouting "Long live the emperor". This shows that the emperor's reputation among the people is still quite good.
Several pavilion elders got permission from the emperor to ride on the carriage and walked in the front of the officials, following the emperor's driving. Looking at the reactions of the people around them, the faces of the several pavilion elders sitting in the same carriage showed a look of relief.
Stroking his beard, Jiao Fang couldn't help but sigh: "It is an honor for us to be able to assist Your Majesty. Your Majesty, a sage king, will definitely be famous in history in the future, and we will also be famous throughout the ages with Your Majesty...
"
As the former teacher of the emperor, Wang Hua naturally knew the emperor's original temperament. Although Zhu Houzhao was said to be generous by nature and not a tyrannical king, it is fair to say that Zhu Houzhao was too unconventional and had an unstable temperament, so he was not a qualified monarch.
But now, Zhu Houzhao has changed a lot. Wang Hua was deeply touched. Hearing Jiao Fang's sigh, he stroked his beard and said: "What the First Assistant said is true. It is really an honor for us to be able to assist the emperor.
"
Chen Ding, who was sitting there, sighed quietly: "But I don't know how the history will record the general manager in the future!"
Everyone was stunned when they heard this. Without Chu Yi, the Ming Dynasty would not be in such a good situation. Being able to become a member of the Pavilion, both in terms of vision and ability, are among the top people in the Ming Dynasty. They have seen the changes in the Ming Dynasty.
The clearest and the deepest feeling.
They don't know how others will evaluate Chu Yi's merits and demerits, but they know very well in their hearts that without Chu Yi, there would be no Ming Dynasty today. Even if Chu Yi's killings were too heavy, his flaws could not be covered up, and his merits far outweighed his faults.
With a slight cough, Wang Shouren said with a smile: "The merits and demerits of right and wrong will all be judged by future generations. All we need to do is to be honest and to be honest!"
"Hahaha, Anguo Gong's words make sense! People live for one lifetime, and grass and trees fall one year after another. All we want is nothing but what we feel guilty about!"
Behind the few pavilion elders were the civil and military officials. However, the civil and military officials did not have the same treatment as the pavilion elders. They all followed the bicycle frame and moved forward slowly.
Many ministers of civil and military affairs are looking a little bad at the moment. They are just strong people, but old ministers such as Han Li, Sun Zhong, and Lu Zhi are all over sixty years old. Although their bodies are still strong, they are not good enough.
More than ten miles is not an easy journey.
There were still miles to go from the city gate, and Sun Zhong, who was already out of breath, looked at the carriage in front of him, with a flash of disdain in his eyes and said: "You are truly worthy of being the backbone of the eunuch party. In the future, he will be like Li Linfu of the Tang Dynasty and Li Linfu of the Song Dynasty."
The Qin Hui will be stinking for thousands of years..."
After taking a breath and hearing Sun Zhongzhi's words, Han Li said: "Brother, please calm down and don't hurt your body. Jiao Fang, Wang Shouren, Yang Yiqing and others are all the backbone of the eunuch party. It is unfortunate for our Confucian family that something like this happened."
Shameless people, in this great world, the common people and the civil and military officials in the court still need Brother Ran’s sea-fixing needle like this!"
Stroking his beard, Sun Zhong said with a humble look: "Everyone, each other, and I alone cannot save the world. We still need everyone to work together!"
When the emperor travels, he spreads loess on the ground and sprinkles pure water on the streets. This journey is ten miles out of the city.
Walking down ten miles was a bit difficult for the guards, not to mention the industrious civil and military officials. If it weren't for the support of some military attachés, some of the veterans would not be able to walk.
The Han officials, Sun Zhong and others who had still had the energy to speak out without shame were now panting and sweating profusely. They were barely standing there with the support of several guards.
Just when the Emperor Luanjia and the civil and military officials stopped to wait for news from Chu Yi's generals, they saw a cloud of smoke and dust faintly visible on the official road in front, and the first few messengers were galloping towards them.
