Chapter 128 Let You Betray the Gentlemen of the World
The daily note official Kang Rui listened to the squeaking sounds in the house and the screaming sounds of a woman. Finally, he had to confirm that what Emperor Zhu Houzhao said was right. His friend Yang Tinghe did worsen his condition due to excessive indulgence, and he could only record it truthfully according to what Zhu Houzhao said, so as to serve as a reference for future historical writers.
After just after a fierce battle, Yang Tinghe was sweating profusely, as soft as a pool of mud, his eyes were shaking and his cheeks were flushed. He couldn't help but vomit a mouthful of blood, and half of his life had been gone.
Yang Tinghe knew that he was suddenly so hungry now, it must be because the medicine given by the imperial physician was effective in promoting the fun. He also knew that this must be because Zhu Houzhao wanted to cause a phenomenon that caused him to die because of excessive indulgence. After all, he was already seriously ill. If he suddenly became excited and had to do something in the room, it would only lead to insufficient essence to accumulate energy and his body would be even more exhausted.
Yang Tinghe didn't expect Zhu Houzhao to be so ruthless, and he didn't expect how Zhu Houzhao knew what he was thinking, because Zhu Houzhao's actions were all things he wanted to deal with Zhu Houzhao in the future. He even secretly spread rumors about Zhu Houzhao's lustfulness.
"How many spurts did Zhu Houzhao put in me? Why did he know so well the means I wanted to implement on him? Is there really a god to protect him? Is it really because he is the emperor? Is he really smarter than me, Yang Tinghe! Oh my God! What kind of king is my Yang Tinghe facing! He knows me so well, but I don't know him very well!"
Yang Tinghe was really scared! He didn't know how Zhu Houzhao would deal with him, and after seeing him vomiting blood all over the floor, he was still afraid of death.
"I don't want to die, I don't want to die! Please, let me meet your Majesty! I confess, my Yang Tinghe confess!"
When Yang Tinghe saw the imperial physician wanting to feed him medicine again, he cried.
After Zhu Houzhao received the news, she came to Yang's mansion in person. Looking at Yang Tinghe who was already skinny, she was quite touched.
But what touched him even more was that the methods he implemented on Yang Tinghe were all implemented on Emperor Zhengde back then. He could not imagine that if he was not a time traveler or the simple and kind Zhengde Zhu Houzhao, he would not know what he would have been hurt by these civil servants.
But now that Yang Tinghe has become like this, Zhu Houzhao no longer intends to hide it. He asked Yang Tinghe directly: "Yang Tinghe, do you know why I treat you like this? I tell you the truth, I already know that you hate me very much! As for why I know, you don't have to think about it, you can't figure it out. I am the emperor, and I know more than you!"
Yang Tinghe had already begun to be in awe of Zhu Houzhao. Now, when he heard Zhu Houzhao admit it in person, he believed that Zhu Houzhao might be really better than him, or perhaps he was really helped by the gods, so he said in particular:
"Your Majesty! I know the crime! I confess! I have always hated Your Majesty in my heart, hated Your Majesty for our pure stream, hated Your Majesty for our literati, and also, I am afraid that Your Majesty will find out sooner or later that I will collude with the rebel minister Li Dongyang and others, and I am afraid that Your Majesty will kill me when she knows it, so I think to wait for the opportunity to get rid of Your Majesty in the future!"
"So I think that I can get rid of Your Majesty in the future, and I will use Your Majesty's current means to deal with me. I believe that Your Majesty already knows my thoughts, otherwise I would not be so clear;
However, these ministers plan to do it after becoming the chief minister in the future. Now is not the time at all. I plan to gain Your Majesty’s trust first. At the same time, I also want to make the conflict between Your Majesty and the gentry deeper, and secretly slander Your Majesty and spread Your Majesty’s foolish and lustful rumors. To get rid of Your Majesty in the future, it is naturally to adapt to Your Majesty!
This time, I used Wang Yang's death to ask Yan Hanlin and Zhuang Zhongyun and other Qingliu officials to mobilize the prison students to write a letter to the public bus to ask Your Majesty to execute Yan Song, demolish the Capital University, and rehabilitate Wang Yang. I want to anger Your Majesty, because with my understanding of Your Majesty, Your Majesty will definitely kill these prisoners because of this. Even if Your Majesty does not kill you, I will persuade you. In this way, I will not only gain Your Majesty's trust, but also make the gentry hate Your Majesty's cruelty even more!
Of course, the reason why these students dared to write to the public bus was that they promised in advance to plead for their mercy. But I lied to them. In fact, I wanted to use their blood to deepen the conflict between Your Majesty and the gentry, and confirm Your Majesty's cruel and ruthless image, so that all the gentry in the world would hate Your Majesty. In this way, I will be able to get rid of Your Majesty in the future."
Yang Tinghe told Zhu Houzhao all the sinister thoughts in his heart. He was really afraid of Zhu Houzhao and dared not hide anything anymore. He also secretly looked at Zhu Houzhao. He thought that Zhu Houzhao might have known these thoughts, otherwise he would not have hurt himself like this suddenly and used the same methods as himself.
Therefore, Yang Tinghe endured the pain in his body and continued:
"I know that my sins are serious! I know that I can no longer survive. I just ask Your Majesty to give me a penalty! I also ask me not to blame my family. They really don't know. I just have this idea in my heart and have not started to implement it yet!"
Yang Tinghe begged.
Zhu Houzhao was indeed frightened after listening to it, thinking to herself what a terrible person this is! If he hadn't been a person from later generations, he would have really not be able to see that Yang Ting and his conspiracy was coming. Maybe he would have even regarded him as the person he trusted the most as he said.
"Well, I've known it a long time ago!"
Zhu Houzhao nodded.
Yang Tinghe started to cry: "I know, I know, so I will confess to Your Majesty now! Please look at me to confess to you in the last confession, and let me forgive my family's crimes!"
"There are many people in the world who want to kill me. It is not surprising that Yang Tinghe has this idea in your heart, but your purpose now is to make me hate me by the gentry all over the world, and have already taken action. Then I want to deal with your crime. If you can make the gentry all over the world hate you Yang Tinghe, I can spare your family's death penalty, it's just a death penalty! I believe that your Yang Tinghe's wisdom can do it!"
Zhu Houzhao knew that those students might be causing trouble recently, and he must have to deal with them, otherwise how to protect his capital university! But he knew that if he took extreme measures, he would definitely be blocked by all civil officials such as Ma Wensheng, so he wanted to let Yang Tinghe take the blame for himself before he died.
When Yang Tinghe heard this, he couldn't help crying: "Your Majesty! Are you not asking me to betray the gentry all over the world? In this way, even if I die, they would like to poke my bones and throw them into ashes, and they would hate my superiors' family members!"
"Depending on your choice of Yang Tinghe, do you choose whether you and your family are hated by gentry all over the world, or choose your family because you are killed by me!"
Zhu Houzhao said coldly.
Yang Tinghe thought for a while and could only say, "I am willing to offend the gentry in the world for Your Majesty, and I have an idea!"
So, Yang Tinghe started talking.
After hearing this, Zhu Houzhao said, "Imperial Doctor Li Yanwen comes and will give him a few days to live!"
