Chapter 1437 Blocking the Palace Gate
"Your Majesty, I'm still waiting for Your Majesty to practice Taoism and become an immortal, and follow him to the Heavenly Court."
Emperor Jiajing nodded, seemed to have recovered some confidence, and then frowned and said:
"If you practice Taoism, you must be quiet and inaction, but as the king of a country, I am worried about national affairs all day long, and I will never be able to forget my feelings in heaven! It seems that if you want to practice Taoism successfully, you must give up the world. After this year, I will pass the throne to King Yu, really cut off the world and focus on cultivating immortals."
Huang Jin was delighted when he heard that Emperor Jiajing was going to pass the throne to King Yu. After all, he had defected to King Yu. But he didn't dare to speak, and even his breathing became lighter. This was a matter of royal passing on the throne, and it was not something he could only interrupt. However, he didn't want to speak, Emperor Jiajing asked:
"Yellow partner, what do you think?"
Huang Jin had no choice but to speak, "Your Majesty, you can leave the Ming Dynasty and concentrate on cultivating immortals. But the Ming Dynasty cannot do without you. Your Highness Yu cannot do without you, and all officials cannot do without you! Even if you have this intention, Your Highness Yu and all officials will not agree."
"Haha..." Emperor Jiajing suddenly sneered twice, "Don't make me so important. It's the same for everyone to leave the Ming Dynasty. When Taizu was in power, there were many people saying that the Ming Dynasty could not live without Taizu? But now the Ming Dynasty has been passed down for nearly two hundred years?"
Speaking of this, Emperor Jiajing's face turned cold and said, "King Yu? What he thought about every day was that I would pass the throne to him as soon as possible. How could he disagree?
As for those officials, haha... I'm afraid they have had a strange intention to please Prince Yu, and they wish they would die sooner, so that they could become ministers of the dragon."
Huang Jin's expression was still calm. He had long been used to Emperor Jiajing's change for a while. He was thinking of giving up his throne, but now he was murderous to King Yu and all officials. He spoke softly:
"No, Your Highness Yu is generous, kind and filial, and all officials are loyal to Your Majesty."
"Loyalty? Haha...Don't think I can't see their faces clearly. Before I die, they started to slap their little thoughts."
Huang Jin sighed in his heart. He served Emperor Jiajing for decades and understood the psychology of Emperor Jiajing at this time. He wanted to give up his throne and devote himself to practicing Taoism, but did not want to lose the power in his hands. If this continues, he has never been released.
"Your Majesty, you are the heaven of the Ming Dynasty. As long as you are in one day, no one dares to make any waves."
"Not bad!" Jiajing Emperor Eagle Gu Lang looked at: "I can give my country, but if I don't give it, anyone can grab it."
"Your Majesty is wise and powerful!" Huang Jin knelt down and said.
"Dangdangdang..."
The big bell on the bell tower was ringing, and then the bells sounded in various Taoist temples in the capital. The new year is coming. Every household in the capital sounded the New Year, and the laughter of children who received red envelopes from their elders.
The bell sounded like a gathering call. It had already put on the official uniforms. The officials holding the memorials in their hands stood up one by one and left their homes and came towards the West Garden. On Chang'an Street, they continued to gather, forming a torrent.
"His Majesty……"
Huang Jin stood up, his face full of concern. The thoughts and plans of the officials were not strict. The Jinyiwei and the East Factory both investigated clearly and reported to Emperor Jiajing. Hearing the bell ringing, Emperor Jiajing slowly straightened his back, and the strict aura emanated from his body. The eagle and wolf looked at Huang Jin with a glance and said:
"What are you afraid of?"
"Old slave..."
"Don't be afraid!"
At this moment, it seemed as if old man disappeared from Emperor Jiajing, and the emperor full of emperor majesty was back.
"Don't be afraid!"
At this time, all the officials who were walking towards the forbidden gate were also cheering each other up.
"Your Majesty!" An eunuch staggered in: "The officials are about to reach the ban."
"Haha..." Emperor Jiajing said coldly: "Are they going to bully me when I am old? Do they want to show me a good look? A tiger is still a tiger when I am old, and no matter how many sheep there are, sheep. Is they really not showing off their power for many years? Have they forgotten my power?"
"His Majesty!"
After a while, another eunuch rushed in and knelt down and said:
"Your Majesty, all the officials have arrived outside the palace gate and are kneeling there."
For a moment, Huang Jin and two little eunuchs in the hall were frightened, and the hall was solemn as the tranquility before the storm.
but……
The glare in the eyes of Emperor Jiajing, who was looking at the wolf, became even brighter.
"Puu!" Huang Jin also knelt down: "Your Majesty, what should I do?"
"What should I do? Haha..." Emperor Jiajing sneered: "It seems that they have forgotten the great etiquette."
Three years after Jiajing ascended the throne, he had a conflict with all officials due to the great etiquette incident. Hundreds of officials knelt outside the palace gate and wrote a letter. However, Emperor Jiajing was not scared, but instead beat more than a dozen officials to death on the spot, crippled dozens of officials, and finally arrested more than a hundred people, making the officials of the Ming Dynasty completely afraid to compete with the Emperor Jiajing.
However, it also broke the backbone of that generation of literati!
"Go and check, what kind of officials are they all?" Emperor Jiajing said lightly.
The little eunuch left in a hurry, and came back in a hurry, kneeling down and said, "Your Majesty, you are all officials of the fifth and sixth ranks."
"Only the fifth and sixth grades?" Emperor Jiajing's tone was filled with a deep disappointment: "So bad?"
Huang Jin almost fainted. When will His Majesty be afraid of trouble? There is also a small official who is afraid of causing trouble?
"Recalling the past..." Emperor Jiajing was not anxious and fell into memories: "That's a big scene. Not to mention the sixth and fifth grades, even the fourth grade officials are all following. There are dozens of third grade or above."
"But!" Emperor Jiajing emphasized and said, "Aren't I convinced me?"
At this time, outside the palace gate, there were bright torches and swords and guns, and the firelight was reflected on the swords and guns, reflecting a formidable light. When the Imperial Guards saw the momentum of the Imperial Guards, they were already scared and sat on the ground.
However, at this time, in front of the rows of imperial guards, there were not a group of people sitting, but a group of people kneeling. Although these people were kneeling, their aura was even stronger than the imperial guards standing and holding swords and guns.
These imperial guards have never seen more than a hundred officials wearing official uniforms, memorials in their hands, and kneeling in black.
The great etiquette was forty years ago. At that time, they were not born yet. At this time, they saw so many officials, although they were only some officials of the fifth and sixth ranks, and they also felt fear in their hearts. An officer standing in the head said in a trembling voice:
"Are you going to rebel?"
The person kneeling in the first row would feel a headache if he saw it. At this time, he was no one else, but the smelly and hard Hai Rui. He stared straight at the officer and said:
"Have you ever seen a literati rebellion? Have you ever seen a literati rebellion with bare hands?"
