Chapter 10 The First Auxiliary is Hard to Be
Chapter 10: It’s hard to be the chief assistant ()
"Bastard! Do you have to go against me?" Emperor Wanli threw the memorial in his hand on the dragon's desk and took the ginseng tea carried by the little eunuch next to him.
"hiss!"
"Bang!"
Xianglong celadon tea cup is crushed to pieces!
"Dog! Do you want to burn me to death?" The entire Wenhua Palace was filled with the roar of Emperor Wanli.
The little eunuchs who were serving left and right were so scared that they were full of souls. They knelt on the ground one by one, and kept begging for mercy: "Your Majesty, please forgive me, please calm down..."
Zhu Yijun ignored the few eunuchs who were begging for mercy, but shouted at the big general outside the door: "Come on! Just drag the dog down, and the stick is fifty!"
After the Han general dragged away the little eunuch who looked fearful but also had a look of life after the disaster, Emperor Wanli, who was still angry, shouted again: "Go to the cabinet and send Shen Shixing to me!"
"Yuan Fu, the Emperor Yuanzi born to Concubine Gong, was five years old. He was a meritorious in the country, but he was under Concubine Zheng, which was not in line with etiquette. Now that Concubine Zheng had just become the third son of the emperor, Your Majesty was re-entered. The theory of ethics would be unhappy, and it would be unhappy to people's hearts. If it was spread throughout the world, its name would be unhappy! As the center of Yuan Fu, the chief assistant of the dynasty, had the responsibility of supporting the country, and he must advise and correct the advice to the emperor to listen!" Jiang Yinglin, the chief assistant of the Ministry of Revenue, made generous speeches, looking heartbroken.
Shen Jing, the deputy chief of the Ministry of Personnel, made a move to Shen Shixing and said, "Brother Tai Fu is very saying. Yuan Fu, depending on your majesty's meaning, it means to be a child. If so, what is the law of the ancestors? It will definitely make people from later generations laugh at us ministers in the dynasty!"
"Yes, Yuanfu, can we make the world feel at ease and the country be stable!" Henan Dao Censor Yang Shaocheng said.
"Yuanfu..."
"Everyone, everyone!" Shen Shixing hurriedly pressed his hands down, stopped several ministers who were still speaking, and said with a wry smile: "I understand your thoughts, and I think you all know the memorial I wrote earlier, "Please book the Eastern Palace to refine the country" and requested Your Majesty to enthrone the emperor's eldest son. Please rest assured that I will do my best to convince Your Majesty to establish the Eastern Palace as soon as possible to correct the country's foundation! Please go back to the ministry to do business first, and don't neglect government affairs..."
It took a lot of effort to send these passionate officials out of the cabinet. Shen Shixing couldn't help but sigh. Fortunately, he had the foresight and expected this situation to happen. He wrote a memorial in the morning and requested to be appointed as the eldest son of the emperor. Otherwise, he would definitely be passive in the future and would not be able to hide the slander of everyone.
When Shen Shixing thought of these Qingliu and censors, he became a headache. Those who regard themselves as their responsibility to maintain orthodoxy are keen on reputation and stubbornness. As long as they are caught with reasons, they will continue to do so, insist on their own opinions, and never give up until they achieve their goals. This is very annoying.
Shen Shixing couldn't help but think of Zhang Juzheng who promoted him to the cabinet. Perhaps only Zhang Juzheng's methods could separate these Qingliu and censors, right? But even Zhang Juzheng could not let them stop, revealing a little flaw, and the people who impeached him were still connected.
Maybe... maybe only the methods of Emperor Jiajing can calm these people down? Tsk, just outside the court, I was slandered by hundreds of ministers, all of whom were stripped naked and white butts, accompanied by Pilibala's scepter and screams, which was unprecedented and unheard of! It was really... I was so gentle!
Shen Shixing, who was a little distracted, quickly drove this terrible idea out of his mind. The current emperor's wise wisdom would never learn from His Majesty Shizong and let the scholars lose their faces! What's more, even Emperor Jiajing, those rumors who are not afraid of death, have produced one after another...
At this time, a noise came, and Shen Shixing suddenly felt cold sweat. He finally sent a group of people away. Could it be that another group of people came? Or did these people know that Zheng Chengxian had submitted a memorial to ask for "comfort" and came to make trouble for himself again? He now wants to take a leave and "recover" to "repair".
"Thank God!" Seeing that the person coming was Xu Fu, the eunuch who was accompanying the emperor, Shen Shixing breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly squeezed out his smile and said, "Eunuch Xu is here, is the emperor giving any instructions?"
Xu Fu quickly gave a gift and said anxiously: "Old sir, Long live your life in Wenhua Palace to tell me that you should go there quickly. Please explain your work and leave with the scattered family."
After quickly glanced at the cabinet's documentary room, the little eunuch lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "Old sir, the emperor is getting angry!"
Seeing that some staff in his public housing were difficult to ask why, Shen Shixing hurriedly sorted out his clothes, ordered a few commanders, and followed the young eunuch Xu Fu to Wenhua Palace.
After leaving the cabinet and arrived near Wenhua Gate, Shen Shixing whispered: "Eunuch Xu, is there something wrong with the emperor summoning me so urgently?"
Although Xu Fu is the eunuch who is with the emperor, his grade is very low. He dare not neglect anything about the emperor's trusted minister like Shen Shixing. He quietly looked around and replied: "I'm not to hide it from the old man, I scared the Zajia to death today. The Zajia has never seen Master Wansui such a big temper. Zhang Zhuoxing is also unlucky. The Wushen tea, which was usually very suitable for Master Wansui's taste, was too hot. Not only did he throw a cup, he also put Zhang Zhuoxing on fifty feet, and he lost half his life. Fortunately, he was not a family serving Master Wansui's tea today... Uh! It's broken, Zhang Zhuoxing is not here, and it's the job to be the family! What should I do..."
Shen Shixing frowned. Although he had already guessed in his heart, he still coughed and interrupted Xu Fu, who was still talking nonsense and chattering: "Eunuch Xu, why did Master Xu get such a big temper?"
"Uh! This miscellaneous family dare not make any comments. The emperor just read the memorials, suddenly cursed a few words, and then got angry." Xu Fu said whispered.
Shen Shixing nodded. He knew it now. It seemed that the emperor was annoyed by the request to be appointed by the prince. He couldn't help but sigh. According to the schedule, the cabinet's memorials and Shen Li and others against Zheng Chengxian's opposition to Zheng Chengxian's memorial should have just arrived at the Silijian. The emperor would not see it until tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. I'm afraid he would have to make the emperor angry again.
When he arrived at Wenhua Hall, Shen Shixing bowed and bowed, and said, "I don't know if your Majesty is eager to call me, what are you going to give me?"
"Shen Shixing, do you know your crime?" Zhu Yijun, who was born after the Long case, did not let Shen Shixing calm down, but suddenly asked.
Shen Shixing knelt down and bowed: "I am afraid, I don't know what Your Majesty is referring to."
"Are you afraid? Then I'll tell you, do you recognize this memorial?" Zhu Yijun picked up the memorial on Long's desk and threw it in front of Shen Shixing.
Shen Shixing picked it up and took a look, then said innocently: "This memorial of "Please Book of the Eastern Palace to Reward the Country" is exactly what I am saying. Does Your Majesty agree to send it to the cabinet to prepare a ticket? The emperor is wise and establishes a foundation as soon as possible, and it is a blessing for the country! After I go back, I will prepare a ticket with the cabinet and notify the Ministry of Rites to prepare relevant matters!"
"You..." Zhu Yijun pointed at Shen Shixing, and was angry, but he didn't know where to start. Moreover, the other party was the chief minister of the cabinet and the minister of the Honggu. Finally, he had to shake his sleeves and shout: "When did I say that I would make a throne? Didn't I have an edict? Yuanzi is weak, so why not make a throne for the time being?"
"What does the emperor mean to give this memorial to me? I am the chief minister of the cabinet. Any memorial sent by the emperor to me is required to be written by me!" Shen Shixing lowered his head, held the memorial in his hand, pretending to be confused.
Zhu Yijun was a little amused and crying about Shen Shixing's defense, but he also became a little angry. He walked off the imperial throne and came to Shen Shixing, snatched the memorial from Shen Shixing's hand, and then walked back to the imperial throne.
"Okay, Shen Shixing, I have learned to mess with me, and I am almost confused by you! I ask you, since this memorial is yours, do you know that you are guilty?" After Zhu Yijun sat down, he put forward the old words again.
"I am afraid..."
"Okay, you don't need to make a quibble!" Zhu Yijun interrupted Shen Shixing without hesitation and asked, "I ask you, why after your memorial was submitted, the others followed and published dozens of copies one after another? And they all opposed my enthronement of Zheng and my request to enthrone the Eastern Palace! It was as if I did not enthrone the Eastern Palace or the Wang family, I was just a foolish monarch!"
"I'm afraid!"
"You..." Zhu Yijun became angry again and pointed at Shen Shixing's nose and said, "Will you say anything else besides this?"
"I'm afraid!"
"You... OK, OK, OK!" Zhu Yijun tried hard to calm down his anger, reached out to take the teacup held by the eunuch Xu Fu next to him, opened the lid and took a sip.
"puff!"
"Your Majesty! You'll Majesty..." Xu Fu was so scared that he threw himself on the ground and said tremblingly: "This...this tea is...no longer hot..."
"How do you do something? It's too cold, so let me change it again."
"Yes, yes! I will go now, go now!" Xu Fu secretly wiped his forehead and stood up tremblingly. Who is it... He said that there are heroes around the emperor? The man slapped them with big mouths! Accompanying the king is like a tiger. The ancients really did not deceive the mixed families!
"Shen Shixing, do you think these people are you instigating them to submit me a memorial?" Zhu Yijun's eyes noticed Shen Shixing again and asked sternly.
