Chapter 91 New Year's Eve
Yude Palace has two courtyards, the front courtyard is five rooms wide in width, and the top of the mountain with yellow glazed tiles.
The red character "Fu" was pasted on the window of the Double-Jiao Si Diamond Flower, red lanterns were hung under the eaves, and Spring Festival couplets were pasted on the door, but the palace people were all silent, and many people had bruises on their faces. It seemed that in order to prevent fire, Emperor Wanli changed the New Year to whip and heard the sound.
The whole palace was like a ghost, without a trace of joy.
After the Wei Dynasty went in and communicated, he led Zhao Shouzheng and others into the western warm room. He saw the imperial bed facing east, Wanli was wearing a swallow suit and a net scarf on his head, and a pair of dark circles, and tilted sickly on the bed.
The five great masters hurriedly knelt westward and congratulated each other respectfully: "I wish you all the best and longevity of the emperor, and I am so happy to congratulate you."
Wanli nodded, raised his hand slightly, and said with a voice: "You are happy New Year, please see the seat."
Zhao Shouzheng and others kowtowed again and said, "I have not seen the beauty for a long time. I am in love with you. I am waiting for peace in my daily life."
He kowtowed again and again, wishing the emperor a good time, and then sat down on the Jindun.
Wanli shook his head and said dejectedly: "My illness is already chronic, who knows if it can be cured?"
"The emperor is prosperous in spring and autumn, and his spirit is full of energy. As long as he adds the intention and adjusts the medicine, he will naturally not be happy, and there is no need to worry too much." Seeing that the emperor was selling miserable as soon as he came up, several great scholars hurriedly comforted Wanli and reminded him that he was only twenty-seven or eight years old and was not yet old.
"After I sent off King Lu last autumn, I was overly missed and often ignited the fires of the heart and liver meridians, and my head was dizzy, my chest and diaphragm were full, so I had to sleep and take care of myself."
Wanli explained shamelessly. No matter whether they believe it or not, I am sick, I am sick, I am sick, and I am sick, and if I say too much, I will believe it.
As he said that, he couldn't suppress his anger and said:
"I was almost ready to recuperate. I was preparing for the new year and the new atmosphere, but I also taught Luo Yuren that slandered and slandered me, which made me angry and even my liver fire recurrence. I was no longer sick!"
Look, I was so angry that my old illness relapsed by the Luo surnamed Luo. How sinful he was.
Zhao Shouzheng and others quickly comforted the emperor. The saints had a lot of relationships with them, and the ancestors and gods and the holy mothers of the two palaces were all relying on the emperor. All the people in the world needed the emperor's protection and should protect the saints more than ten treasures.
"One or two ignorant ministers, crazy and reckless, are not enough to move the holy will." Zhao Shouzheng taught himself the experience of spitting on his face and doing it, and said to the emperor: "What does the emperor care about him? It is not worth it to care about him."
Shen Shixing and others also nodded, saying that they were all used to being scolded.
Wanli snorted, picked up the wrinkled memorial beside his hand, and handed it to Zhao Shouzheng with his own hands:
"Sir, let's see what he wrote before saying it. He scolded me for being drunk, sex, money and everything. Mr., judge me. Are we such a person?"
Zhao Shouzheng quickly took it and read it. Although he heard Hai Rui briefly introduce the content of this sutra, it is better to see it at first sight. He really didn't know if he didn't read it. He was shocked when he saw it. This was too outrageous, right? How could he scold so fiercely? Not to mention the emperor, even ordinary people have to fight with you...
But why did you feel so satisfying? I feel like I've expressed my heart. It's so happy, my eyes are no longer filled with shadows...
He looked here, and Wanli was angry at himself to defend himself:
"He said I like wine, so who in the world doesn't drink? Although it's not an emperor's behavior after drinking, it's not an emperor's behavior. I just do it occasionally, so there's no need to exaggerate it."
Several senior officials nodded and thought to themselves that you are dizzy and weak, why can you still dance your sword after drinking?
"He also said that I am lustful and favored Concubine Zheng. But he didn't know that whenever I went to the palace, she would follow me. She served me carefully every day and night and was very hardworking. As for Concubine Wang Gong, didn't she have the eldest son to take care of? The mother and son depend on each other, so they could not serve me day and night. Why did it mean that I was biased?"
The great scholars thought to themselves that Concubine Zheng also has three emperors, okay...
"As for saying that I am greedy for money, I have always been trying to protect him because I was bribed by Zhang Jing. I am really laughing. I am the emperor and rich in all over the world. All under the world is the king's land. All the wealth in the world is my wealth. Have you ever seen anyone greedy for his own wealth? If I am greedy for Zhang Jing's wealth, why not just copy him out easily?!"
Zhao Shouzheng and others thought to themselves, I have seen it, isn’t there one person in front of me? It’s true that you are rich all over the world, but you can’t really treat yourself as an outsider. Whoever has the money is your money...
"I also say that I am still angry. How good is my fucking temper?!" Wanli's face turned red and his cheeks trembled, saying, "In ancient times, those who say the 'Three Precepts' were to be rude when they were young, and those who were fighting in their prime were able to be rude when they were young, and those who were young were ruling, and those who were old were able to be ruled. Don't I know such a simple truth? It's just that people are ruling, such as the gentleman and the servants' family, do you not blame them for making mistakes? The same is true in the palace. There are national laws, the palace rules, and those who violate them will be punished. But most palace people die of illness, so why do they say that they are all beaten to death?"
Emperor Wanli avoided the important and made a weak and weak defense and expressed his true purpose. "Sir, take this book and write down the important one!"
He wanted to see which side these civil officials would choose between him and Luo Yuren.
Zhao Shouzheng took a deep breath and bowed his body and said respectfully: "The emperor calms down. This is an ignorant minister who mistakenly listens to rumors on the road and makes a rash remark..."
"He is not rash at all, he just deliberately seeks fame!" Wanli interrupted Zhao Shouzheng's words roughly, making Da Ying pillow sound, and his teeth and claws were not as good as he was sick. His roar echoed in the warm pavilion:
"These madmen who seek fame actually want to step on me and become famous! Do you really think my knife is not fast enough?!"
Zhao Shouzheng was also a little stunned. Good guy, he hadn't seen Wanli get so angry. It seems that this time the mud is not so easy to be harmonious. If one can't comfort him, something big will happen.
He knew that he was not quick to be wise, so he shut up to avoid making too many mistakes.
But you can't be silent. Shoufu Zhao glanced at his deputy, meaning 'Ah Xing, relay'!
The two have been together for almost ten years, and Shen Shixing knew that this was the opportunity for Yuan Fu to show himself. Yuan Fu always did this, leaving the opportunity to show off to others, and just silently took the blame for everyone, wiped his butt, and often sent red envelopes to everyone. Is there any better leader in the world than this?
"The emperor is right. That guy is seeking fame! Now the trend is very bad, and young people don't want to be a down-to-earth official, just want to become famous as soon as possible. They found a shortcut in Zhongnan, which is to sell their heads for the emperor, anger the emperor, and exchange their reputation for a lifetime with a lot of pain!" Shen Shixing immediately responded in a deep voice:
"Their mind is that if the emperor is a wise monarch and I wrote a letter to point out his mistakes, the emperor would definitely follow the advice and be happy when he heard of it. He would not do anything to me. But if the emperor beat me up and demoted me to the army, it would mean that the emperor was a fool! This is enough to prove that I am a loyal minister who makes a frank advice! Even if I am beaten to death, I can still be famous in history and be remembered forever. This wave is not a loss at all!"
"If they are lucky enough to die, they will immediately become famous loyal ministers all over the world and be praised. Even if they are demoted for a few years, it will be nothing. As long as they have a reputation, they will not be wronged anywhere. In a few years, they will be recommended by countless people, and they will be promoted several levels after being transferred back..."
Wanli was stunned and said, "Fuck me, my intentions are so sinister..."
"No!" Wang Jiaping immediately responded: "I have seen it with my own eyes many times over the years. After the official ate a court stick at the Meridian Gate, he was carried back by all officials as heroes. The people welcomed him and greeted him by the superiors. It was so glorious! I heard that many officials' wives missed this opportunity to shine their ancestors because their husbands did not sign a memorial to persuade the emperor, and they complained in anger!"
"Yes, that year, an official was sceptered by the emperor's court. He was fat again. After he lifted it out, the meat on his buttocks fell off one by one. His wife picked up the meat and took it home to marinate it into bacon, saying that it would be passed down from generation to generation as a family heirloom that boasts righteousness!" Shen Shixing said seriously:
"But every time she shows the flesh on her husband's butt, she will make His Majesty lose face! Luo Yuren is the same. Since he is seeking fame, if the emperor takes it seriously, he will fulfill his wish and become his name, which will damage the emperor's sage virtue! How can such a loss-making business be done, Your Majesty?!"
"Hiss..." Wanli was originally wholeheartedly and had to kill Luo Yuren. But Shen Shixing's deception was a little confused. "What does Mr. Shen mean?"
"Only by tolerance and not caring about it, we can see the prosperity of the holy virtue!" Shen Shixing bowed.
Zhao Shouzheng couldn't help but cheer secretly. Old Shen was usually hidden and his level was much higher than his own.
Why did his son suppress Wang Xijue and prevent him from entering the cabinet, but he asked Shen Shixing to keep working with him? Because Chef Wang's temper would only cause him trouble. And Lao Shen was the one who wiped his butt...
"Yuan Fu means..." Wanli looked at Zhao Shouzheng again.
Zhao Shouzheng nodded quickly and said in a deep voice: "The old minister also means this. The emperor cannot be fooled by that boy. The more he does this, the more he should be tolerant and not be as knowledgeable as that guy. In this way, everyone in the world knows that Your Majesty is a humble wise king, and that guy knows that he has been deceived by rumors, and he will definitely cry bitterly, and live in regret and guilt."
The other three people also quickly bowed and said, "What Yuan Fujiu said is that I and others will discuss..."
Wanli's face changed for a while, and he replied in a deep thought: "What this is said is not that it has damaged my holy virtue, but it just seems that I have no stomach..."
"The emperor's holy rule is like heaven and earth, what's wrong?" Zhao Shouzheng skillfully flattered, and stood up and handed over the memorial to the emperor. "This is the New Year, the emperor will just treat it as a fart and let him go..."
Seeing that Wanli didn't say anything, Zhao Shouzheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He thought to himself, "Good guy, two sticks and mud together, and finally fooled them..."
"Look at it again!" Unexpectedly, Wanli said silently.
"The old minister has a severe eye disease, and it is difficult to recognize words. I can only read the general idea." Zhao Shouzheng smiled bitterly, wanting to get through.
"No! I'm still angry with him, but I must be severe!" Wanli recalled. How could I be scolded like this? I would be laughed to death... Besides, I don't plan to be a wise emperor. I just want to be an ordinary happy emperor and live my life comfortably.
So, this tone must be out!
Too bad to push the shaft, Zhao Shouzheng was so angry that he had to say tough:
"The emperor said this book was a slander. If the cabinet ticket was intended to be punished, it would be spread to all sides, and the whole world would be treated as the truth!"
"This..." Wanli was suddenly stuck in a weak spot and was speechless.
