Hai Rui used a "public security slack" to almost bring the time of Emperor Jiajing's death forward to the first month of The forty-fifth year of Jiajing, but the Jiajing Emperor soon found a way to deal with Hai Rui's negligence, that is, to believe that there were people behind Hai Rui who "worked together and colluded inside and outside" to force him to abdicate! With this big hat, the Jiajing Emperor could play at will.
The dialogue in the Jingshe clearly pointed to Lü Fang and the cabinet who had left the capital, and even pointed to the Yu King, zhao Zhenji, as the "first responsible person", could no longer sit still, rarely put away the "non-stick pot" attribute, bowed to his mentor Xu Jie, and resolutely walked towards the Jingshe.
"Play the Emperor!" Shōshū Shōshū Shōjō Shōjo ”
The Jiajing Emperor heard the great joy and immediately gave a response:
"Good! Good! Finally, someone is willing to admit it. Tell him to come in. ”
Zhao Zhenji entered, and the Jiajing Emperor looked sinister and asked:
"'Four German Henry Dollars'. The four members of the cabinet knew that they could not miss a single word of 'virginity'. Zhao Zhenji, Shuo did not misread you, came in, and said what he should say to Shuo. ”
Of course, this sentence of the Jiajing Emperor cannot be understood according to the superficial meaning, this is a satire on Zhao Zhenji's just being reused, and the translation is: If you are really blind, you will be promoted to the cabinet! You have shown that you are here to force the palace, what a big rebellion, say it!
Let's look at Zhao Zhenji's performance:
"The minister dared to beg His Majesty if he could show the congratulatory watch written by Hai Rui first."
This sentence is the truth, Zhao Zhenji did not know what was written in Hai Rui's "greeting list", but more importantly, Zhao Zhenji must first clear his responsibilities and do his best to prove that he is not Hai Rui's backstage, let alone what Hai Rui did.
This sentence translates to: Emperor, what did Hai Rui say to make you angry like this bear?
The Jiajing Emperor sneered and said:
"Greeting sheet? Do you still say that Harry wrote a greeting watch? ”
Ask knowingly! Zhao Zhenji, Zhao Zhenji, in addition to the attributes of "non-stick pan", you originally have the hobby of "loading garlic"!
As Hai Rui's immediate superior, as the middle passer of Hai Rui's "greeting table", Zhao Zhenji could not help but take the initiative to stand up; but Zhao Zhenji dared to stand up not because he wanted to take responsibility, but because he wanted to "put it to death and be reborn", and the Jiajing Emperor had a life-threatening and even nine-clan bet. If you don't gamble, you will die; if you gamble, you still have a chance to win. Thinking of this, Zhao Zhenji simply threw away his fear and started playing again:
"Once again, the minister dared to beg His Majesty to show him what Harry had written."
Pay attention to Zhao Zhenji's wording changes, follow the meaning of the Jiajing Emperor, change the "greeting table" to "things", which is to tell the Jiajing Emperor: What you said, I understand, but I don't know, I don't know, do you believe it or not!
After two consecutive sentences of denial, the Jiajing Emperor actually wondered why Zhao Zhenji was not calmed by himself, and even began to wonder if Zhao Zhenji really did not know what Hai Rui was doing, and could only ask a question:
"Are you trying to say that you didn't know anything about what Harry wrote beforehand?"
Zhao Zhenji immediately responded:
"The subject replied to His Majesty, and the minister really did not know."
Not knowing is not knowing, or that sentence, do you believe it or not!
What is "death and rebirth"? At such a sensitive moment, even the slightest fear would be considered a weakness of heart, throwing away fear, and facing this king who could directly decide his own life and death, he could make the Jiajing Emperor mutter in his heart: Why is he not afraid of decay, does he really not know?
As long as the Jiajing Emperor made a mistake in his heart, Zhao Zhenji would be half victorious!
However, since the Jiajing Emperor already had an idea in his heart, he naturally would not let Zhao Zhenji easily gain the upper hand, so he began to change his strategy and turned his words to Chen Hong:
"See? One is more powerful than the other, first wash yourself clean, and then follow the Fighting Method. Zhao Zhenji, don't you hear that the devil is one foot high and one foot high? ”
Emperor Jiajing's words were extremely thorough, and Zhao Zhenji asked twice in succession to see the "greeting table" written by Hai Rui, with the purpose of washing himself first. Only by clearing himself first, Zhao Zhenji could debate the next question with the Jiajing Emperor - behind Hai Rui, was the cabinet supporting the waist, and whether the Yu King was supporting the waist!
Emperor Jiajing's words directly hit Zhao Zhenji's heart, and Zhao Zhenji naturally could not admit it, but could only pretend to be confused:
"The subject is stupid and does not know what the Holy One is referring to, so please make it clear to the Holy Spirit."
What to clear yourself, what fighting method, I can't understand, is there something that can't be said explicitly? They have all reached this juncture, and whoever serves soft first will lose!
Well, next, the Jiajing Emperor began to "fight" with Zhao Zhenji:
Jiajing: "Good! Then it is clear that you are The Head of the Tobe Shoshu, and Hai Rui is the chief of which department? ”
Zhao Zhenji: "Your Majesty, Hai Rui is the head of the household department in charge of the minister." ”
(Jiajing: Hai Rui is your subordinate, admit it? Zhao Zhenji: Admit it! ）
Jia Jing: "Who brought this thing from Hai Rui?" ”
Zhao Zhenji: "Your Majesty, the minister personally went to his house to get it." ”
(Jiajing: You brought this thing, admit it? Zhao Zhenji: Admit it! ）
Jiajing: "Who told you to go get the land?" ”
Now that you admit it, it's easy! Say, who instructed you to do that?
This question was too sensitive, Zhao Zhenji answered truthfully, and the responsibility was pushed on his mentor Xu Jie; if he did not answer truthfully, the plan of emperor Jiajing who had just summoned up enough courage would immediately fail. Therefore, Zhao Zhenji was stunned by this question and did not reply immediately.
The Jiajing Emperor finally saw the dawn of victory and hurriedly asked:
"Dumb? Don't dare to name the person behind you? ”
What's wrong, the courage just now, was asked the point?
Let's look at Zhao Zhenji's perfect answer:
"Echoing Your Majesty, it was Elder Xu Ge who asked his ministers to urge him to get the greeting watch. It was outside the main hall that he called his courtiers to get a greeting watch in front of everyone. ”
Answer truthfully to ensure that the plan can be successful; but the environment arranged by Xu Jie is clearly explained - "just outside the main hall, in front of everyone", this is an official business, not a private matter!
Let's see the Reaction of the Jiajing Emperor:
"A good mouth, but also said to be a congratulatory watch."
Zhao Zhenji's answer was impeccable, and the Jiajing Emperor could only choose a flaw from the title of "He Table" and look for an opportunity to attack again. In this round, the Jiajing Emperor was defeated!
At this critical moment, Chen Hong, who was standing on the side, saw that the Jiajing Emperor had fallen to the inferior position, and quickly stood up to assist:
"Zhao Zhenji, is a hero, is a good man, dare to do dare to recognize." The head of your small household knows that the coffin is ready, but you are not even as good as him? ”
Chen Hong's original intention was naturally to attack Zhao Zhenji and assist Emperor Jiajing, only to satirize Zhao Zhenji's "dare to do it", and only wanted to stimulate Zhao Zhenji to honestly confess. However, Chen Hong was a simple animal who was overwhelmed by the desire for power, how could he fight Zhao Zhenji, who was full of sage poetry!
Originally, Zhao Zhenji did not want to deal with Chen Hong, because this would divert the direction of his attack and affect his offensive strength, after all, the Jiajing Emperor was not an easy opponent to deal with. Therefore, Zhao Zhenji only gave Chen Hong a contemptuous look and did not intend to respond to Chen Hong's question.
However, Zhao Zhenji's reaction allowed the Jiajing Emperor to find a breakthrough, mistakenly believing that Zhao Zhenji was asked and his heart was weak. As a result, Jiajing's anger was slowly suppressed, and his fighting spirit was even more aroused, and he said coldly:
"Zhao Zhenji, were you asked by Chen Hong?"
Well, since the Jiajing Emperor acquiesced to Chen Hong's "qualification for the competition", Zhao Zhenji naturally did not have to be polite anymore:
"Echoing the Holy Father, the minister was not asked by Gonggong Chen, but the minister did not bother to answer gonggong Chen's rebellious words."
Sorry, I wasn't asked, I just looked down on him! A good move of "wanting to capture the old and indulging" provoked Chen Hong, and while continuing to leak flaws, it was also possible for the Jiajing Emperor to once again clarify Chen Hong's "qualifications for the competition", so that Zhao Zhenji could turn the gun head in a bright and reasonable manner and attack Chen Hong, the "spokesman" temporarily captured by the Jiajing Emperor.
The Jiajing Emperor did not speak, and Chen Hongxian became irritable:
"Master! Hai Rui was directed by this Zhao Zhenji, and as for who was behind Zhao Zhenji, the master handed him over to the slave, and the slave had a way to let him speak. ”
I have been "palm printing eunuchs", I have been "palm printing eunuchs" for many days, do you dare to look down on me?
Well, Chen Hong's flaws leaked out, and the more impatient he was at this time, the more he couldn't hold his breath, the more he would leave it to people to handle, and the more it would make the Jiajing Emperor suspicious. Sure enough, the Jiajing Emperor darkened for a moment and glanced at Chen Hong:
"Don't you want to hear how he says you're a rebel?"
Are you also weak-minded? Is there still your business here?
Now it was Chen Hong's turn to be helpless, and he could only shout at Zhao Zhenji:
"Speak!"
Let's take a look at the pinnacle of Zhao Zhenji's language art:
"Hai Rui is a subordinate of the courtier, and he deceives the king, which is equivalent to the courtier's deception, and this subject is guilty of one."
Where did Hai Rui come from for the "crime of deception"?
With the outer packaging of the "greeting watch" and the "Song Shu" called the Jiajing Emperor, this is not what "bullying" is!
Zhao Zhenji confessed the "crime of deceiving the king", which is equivalent to once again emphasizing his point of view just now - although I don't know what Hai Rui did, as Hai Rui's boss, I am willing to share the responsibility, which is the reason why I took the initiative to stand up today, not what "admitting the account"!
"This thing written by Hai Rui was brought by the minister himself to present the holy one, and the presenter and the writer are guilty of the same sin, and this subject is guilty of the second crime."
Zhao Zhenji once again used the phrase "this thing", once again reiterating his ignorance of the content of Hai Rui's "greeting list"! But despite this, Zhao Zhenji is after all a "presenter", and the blame cannot be escaped, which is the reason why Zhao Zhenji took the initiative to stand up, and it is also not a "confession"!
"What a rebellious and rebellious remark that Hai Rui presented, the subject knew and did not know, and these two sins were already to be blamed. Since Hai Rui had prepared a coffin and was willing to ambush him, the minister was nothing more than preparing a coffin and was willing to ambush him. ”
With these two crimes, it can be basically determined that I have lost the opportunity to live, and is it necessary for me to hide it for Harry? If you want to kill me, the emperor already has enough reasons, there is no need to put me on another charge!
Chen Gonggong asked the minister whether he was a hero and a good man, and the minister replied to Chen Gonggong's words, since Hai Rui was madly rebellious, why did Chen Gonggong call him a hero and a good man? Hai Rui is not a hero and a good man, why does Chen Gonggong call his subjects also heroes and good men? Chen Gonggong's words were originally rebellious words. The minister implores His Majesty to order Duke Chen to retract this statement! The subject can have the following words. ”
The reason why I disdain Chen Hong's questioning is that there are two reasons:
1, Hai Rui provoked the emperor to almost die of anger, Chen Hong actually called him a "hero and a good man", this is the great rebellion, for the great rebellion, I naturally disdain!
2, I had a hard time giving up the attribute of "non-stick pan" and taking the initiative to bear the responsibility, Chen Hong actually said that I was inferior to Hairui, which was obviously looking down on me. That being the case, why should I answer Chen Hong's question!
After all, as soon as Zhao Zhenji's words came out, Chen Hong shut up, and the Jiajing Emperor could not say anything. However, in this incident, the Jiajing Emperor was the one who had the "final right to explain", Chen Hong was a squib, and the Jiajing Emperor could only turn to another person, Huang Jin:
"Admired? I thought to myself that this is called a real hero and a good man, right? ”
Relieve the embarrassment of being forced into a corner, transfer the pressure of being asked to have nothing to say, gather strength, and strike again. The Jiajing Emperor was a fierce man who had cultivated into an immortal, and in the face of such an extremely passive situation, he was still able to calmly and unhurriedly!
After taking a sigh of relief, the Jiajing Emperor turned to Chen Hong again:
"Chen Hong, you have eyesight, that Hai Rui is a hero and a good man, and this Zhao Zhenji is also a hero and a good man." Not only are you not wrong in saying this, but you are absolutely right. Extremely right! Extremely right! Extremely right! You don't know, I like heroes and good men all my life! Including what kind of mentor you have, what kind of backer you have, what kind of party you have, whether you are a hero or a good man, you have all stood up. I love it! ”
Notice that the Jiajing Emperor began to steal the concept, deliberately expanding the scope of the "heroes and good men" set by Chen Hong, and encircling Hai Rui and Zhao Zhenji, along with his mentor, patron, and fellow party members, in a circle.
The enshi, that is, Xu Jie; the patron, that is, the Yu King; the same party, that is, the entire "Qingliu Party"!
The purpose of the Jiajing Emperor is still very clear, that is, to closely link Hai Rui's "Public Security" with Zhao Zhenji, Xu Jie, Yu Wang, and even the entire "Qingliu Party"!
Speaking of this, Zhao Zhenji knew that not only his own life, but also the lives of many bigger and more people were hanging in the line of his current reply, gritted his teeth and straightened his body, and continued to play his language art:
"A minister is not a hero or a good man!" Not to mention whose party it is! The subject is a twenty-one-year-old jinshi of Jiajing, a disciple of the Son of Heaven, and it should be said that His Majesty the Master is the teacher of the subject! ”
Teacher? The emperor is my benefactor, not Xu Jie!
"Twenty-four years ago, the subject was promoted from the Hanlin Academy as a checkpoint, then promoted to attendant, promoted to inspector, promoted to shangshu of the household department, and until two months ago, he was promoted to the Cabinet of The Terrace, and every step was promoted by His Majesty.
patron? The Emperor is my patron, not the King of Yu!
"If you want to talk about the same party, the subjects are only his majesty's subjects!" If the king is not secret, he loses his subjects, and what His Majesty is suitable for is not the way of the king. The Minister implores His Majesty to take it back! ”
Accomplice? Which Daming official is not a courtier of the emperor, we only have this level in common, only this type of "same party"!
The monarch of a great country actually said this to this point, you are also very interesting! Now, I not only ask Chen Hong to retract his words, but also ask the emperor to retract his own words.
Reason has traveled all over the world, and Lao Tzu is out today!
It was another irrefutable reply, and the Jiajing Emperor lost another round! Let's look at the Jiajing Emperor's counterattack again—still the old way, shift the direction of the attack, dodge the attack, and throw the words to Chen Hong:
"This Zhao Zhenji must make you retract that sentence, and if you want to retract that sentence, will you take it back?"
Translate this sentence: Chen Hong, Zhao Zhenji scolded you, did you not react?
When he had nothing to say, he threw the problem to Chen Hong, let Chen Hong continue to disgust Zhao Zhenji, and let Chen Hong attack instead of himself. In this way, it not only saves his own embarrassment, but also wins buffer time for himself, and can also increase the pressure on Zhao Zhenji!
Well, I messed up the enemy, what kind of immortal did the Jiajing Emperor repair!
Frightened by Zhao Zhenji, Chen Hong was holding his stomach, and when he received a hint from the Jiajing Emperor, Chen Hong immediately broke out:
"Return to the master, and the slave will never take it back!" Today's incident is not only unprecedented since Emperor Taizugao in the Ming Dynasty, but also unprecedented in all dynasties. This Zhao Zhenji is clearly a clever man, and the traitor is like a loyal! I implore the master not to be deceived by him, let alone by the people behind him. That Hai Rui had to be arrested immediately, and this Zhao Zhenji had to be arrested immediately! Anyone who usually has dealings with that Hai Rui must be arrested! Investigate thoroughly, investigate thoroughly! ”
The attitude is very clear: resolutely follow the footsteps of the Jiajing Emperor, and Zhao Zhenji to the end, and zhao Zhenji's backers to the end!
Chen Hong gave a solution, and the Jiajing Emperor threw the problem to Zhao Zhenji, who still looked like "responding to changes with no change", with a hard steel front:
"Since the saint has listened to Gonggong Chen's words, the subject will now go to prison."
You are the boss, you have the final say, since you are already unreasonable, what else can I say? I went straight to jail and waited for disposal!
The irony of this sentence was too strong, and the Jiajing Emperor immediately became furious after hearing it:
"I don't listen to anyone!" It's still early for you to go to jail! Didn't you just say that you were a protégé of Yuan? Is it the Party of The Fallen? Yes or no, I will not recognize you now and will not deny you, I will recognize you as a hero and a good man, and this sentence will never be taken back! Let the hero check the hero, and the good man check the good man! ”
This trick was really clever, completely cutting off Zhao Zhenji's plan to "leave himself", and even more so that Zhao Zhenji had no reason to "fight" with the Jiajing Emperor. Want to get rid of yourself? Then try Hai Rui's crime clearly; if you want to fight, I will find you a hard bone to accompany you!
Then, the Jiajing Emperor entered a "confused" or even "comatose" state, whether it occurred naturally or deliberately disguised, we do not have to pay attention, in short, Zhao Zhenji no longer refuted. By pretending to be stupid, the Jiajing Emperor finally managed to win back a round.
The jingsha turned upside down, Xu Jie and other cabinet members hurriedly entered the jingsha, the Jiajing Emperor really wanted to be directly angry to death, and the entire cabinet did not want to live.
After returning to normal, the Jiajing Emperor was the first to give an unexpected order:
"First arrest this slave who eats inside and out."
Hai Rui scolded Jiajing, Zhao Zhenji hardened Jiajing, but Jiajing arrested Huang Jin first! What does the Jiajing Emperor mean by this move, we will first hold it down and not say it, and discuss it separately!
Then, the Jiajing Emperor shifted his gaze to Xu Jie and the others:
"Xu Jie, who told you to come in?" Do you want to force the palace? It is Hai Rui's fellow party that is still too late to run, and if it is not the same party, they will all go to the cabinet office, waiting to investigate! ”
Notice that Emperor Jiajing's attitude changed, and he began to find steps for Xu Jie and others, and Zhao Zhenji's hard work had an effect!
However, the Jiajing Emperor only temporarily spared Xu Jie and others, but did not plan to let Zhao Zhenji leave, don't forget, Hai Rui's "Public Security" still needs Zhao Zhenji to deal with it.
"Made a hero good man, you also want to go?" There is no purpose for you to listen to Chen Hong. ”
Then, the Jiajing Emperor concluded the fiasco of the debate:
"With this book written by that beast, you know in your heart who you should investigate, who you should arrest, who you should judge, and how to judge."
How Hai Rui scolded me, how can you get me back!
Chen Hong understood, answered, and then said to Zhao Zhenji:
"Hero, come with me!"
In a good battle between the emperor and the courtiers, Zhao Zhenji did not lose, and the Jiajing Emperor did not win, but the Jiajing Emperor may have understood the real purpose of Hai Rui Shangshu and understood that he deserved to be scolded. However, this junchen battle can also directly prove Zhao Zhenji's true strength, if he loses the attribute of "non-stick pan", he may be able to become the "Hairui version" Zhang Juzheng!
