Jinyi champion

People like Wu Jie seem to be politicians, but in fact they have very low political awareness. At most they know how to cater to powerful people, and then they do things cautiously.

His rediscovery of Zhu Hao was a kind of hindsight, but it was obviously too late.

Even if he really felt that Zhu Hao had harmed Daming, in order to save the lives of himself and his family, as well as those of his colleagues, he had no choice but to truthfully write down a confession related to Yang Tinghe threatening Wu Zong to return to the capital with his illness, and Presented to Zhu Hao.

Zhu Hao walked out of the dungeon with the confession.

Luo An and Lu Song followed.

Luo An said: "This person knows too many secrets, he shouldn't keep them."

Hearing this, Lu Song was obviously a little surprised. In the past, Luo An was the kind of hard-working person, why did he suddenly have such a strong killing intent?

Zhu Hao put away the confession and handed it over to Zhu Si that night. He said: "For all parties, he is already an outcast. Even if he publicizes it to the outside world, no one will believe him. Besides, this time After the case is over, he will be transferred directly to the garrison, and if he dares to talk nonsense, it will not be too late to move him then."

Lu Song said: "It's better to threaten him with a lowly position so that he doesn't dare to speak nonsense."

Luo An sighed: "Actually speaking, even if he says something, outsiders may not believe it, but I'm afraid... such things will spread to the outside world, causing Elder Yang's suspicion, and it will be very unfavorable to Mr. Zhu at that time."

"fine."

Zhu Hao waved his hand and said with a smile, "When you enter the court, if you are afraid of wolves and tigers, what kind of official will you be? I haven't done anything to harm the country and the people, so what if Mr. Yang believes it? Keep him alive, but don't let him follow him." Family meetings, and as long as he wants to keep his family safe, he knows how to keep his mouth shut."

……

……

Zhu Hao really didn't need to kill Wu Jie.

Since he dared to reveal his identity in front of Wu Jie, and also dared to say that he acted on behalf of the emperor Zhu Bian, he was not afraid of Wu Jie's words, the key is that people should believe what he said.

Like Zhu Hao's analysis of Zhu Si before.

In the eyes of Yang Tinghe's faction, Wu Jie is already a traitor. No matter what he does, it won't help. On the contrary, he dare not let Yang Tinghe know that he is the one who secretly reported. The result of making publicity is that his family suffers. Yang Tinghe may not believe it. , why do you want to show off?
Taking a step back, even if Wu Jie really spread the news to Yang Tinghe, it still depends on whether Yang Tinghe believes it or not.

Who would believe a traitor?
In other words, aren't your words too unbelievable?

When Zhu Hao handed Wu Jie's confession to Zhu Si, after reading it, Zhu Si had a mocking smile on his face: "It's no wonder that my royal brother suddenly changed his temper and returned to the capital in a hurry. His illness was delayed by the people from the Imperial Hospital, in order to coerce him to return to the capital, but unexpectedly, his life was delayed because of this. Speaking of which, Elder Yang Ge’s instruction can be regarded as indirectly helping me.”

Zhu Hao said: "Everything is God's will."

Zhu Si put down the confession, looking very confident: "I also think it's all God's will, Zhu Hao, you are so good at pinching and calculating, you can calculate that I will be the emperor a few years in advance, you are a person who can spy on God's will, you give Let me calculate, how many years do I have to live?"

After becoming the emperor, he immediately began to care about his own life expectancy.

Zhu Hao shook his head: "I can't count this kind of providence."

Zhu Si stuck out his tongue: "I don't think you can't count, you don't want to tell me? Are you afraid that I will be burdened if I find out? Don't be afraid, just tell me, okay?"

"Not really."

Zhu Hao said with emotion, "God's will involves many changes in terms of fate, and many things in the day after tomorrow will also affect a person's fate, and His Majesty is the Ninth Five-Year King, the more so, the more difficult it is to calculate."

Zhu Hao's bluffing was quite effective.

Zhu Si seemed to believe it, and nodded again and again: "Then if you know that I am in danger, or someone is going to threaten me, you must tell me earlier so that I can be prepared."

"Ah."

Zhu Hao nodded in agreement.

……

……

Zhu Hao didn't instill any atheism in Zhu Si.

In these years, atheism itself is unreliable. Even the imperial court has Qin Tianjian to calculate astrology, celestial secrets, etc., and also use the changes of stars or the appearance of meteors, comets and other astronomical anomalies to indicate whether there is a disaster, and even stately. Recorded in the official history, the result of talking about atheism to the emperor is that the emperor treats you as a fool.

Who dares to reuse such a person who is an enemy of the sky and thinks that he is more powerful than the sky?

The so-called Zibuyu talks about strange powers and gods, and it only talks about monsters and ghosts, and does not involve heavenly secrets, fate, etc.

And Zhu Hao didn't say it, there was another very important reason, because Zhu Hao knew that in the future, Zhu Si's trust in Taoism or these gods and gods would come one day.

If he was dubbed a "celestial master" and made Zhu Si feel that he really had the ability in this area, then Zhu Hao would not be deceived by a group of alchemists with ulterior motives.

It is impossible for the monarch and his subjects to maintain a harmonious relationship forever.

When there were no political opponents in the court, Zhu Hao was the emperor's political opponents at that time, and the downfall of Yan Song and his son in history wasn't just because of a few words calculated by the alchemist?
Only if you are also good at this stuff and can say things that the emperor trusts more than alchemists, can the emperor not win the trust of those charlatans.

With Zhu Hao's understanding of history, it is still very easy to explain some "secrets" at the right time. It is much more reliable than the prophecies of quack warlocks. At that time, the emperor will know who is the real "outsider" Expert".

……

……

In the court the next day.

In the middle of the discussion, Zhu Si stated that he would treat Chen Jing, Zheng Hong, Wu Jie and other imperial physicians leniently.

This was unexpected by Yang Tinghe.

The imperial hospital was investigated, it seems that it was related to the impeachment involved in the matter, but Yang Tinghe knew that Zhu Si deliberately made a fuss, and wanted to prevent someone from murdering each other in medicine, but now Zhu Si is magnanimous, expressing that he will not pursue several internal and external investigations. The death penalty for colluding ministers, on the contrary, gave them a chance to reform themselves...

This is in sharp contrast to the harshness of the cabinet's death penalty.

"Your Majesty, Chen Jing, the admiral and the eunuch, has a great connection with the death of the late emperor. He should be strictly examined to set the record straight. Please think twice, Your Majesty."

In this matter, people from the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple came out to express the need to strictly enforce the law.

It's not that they insist on putting the person involved to death, but they feel that after the new emperor ascends the throne, he treats the imperial doctor who killed the former emperor benevolently, which will arouse questions about "whether this matter was secretly instigated by the Xing Palace" Suspicion, even if it is to be pardoned, it should not be now.

Zhu Sidao: "If I only rely on some catching wind and shadows, I will kill so many imperial doctors. Who dares to enter the Imperial Hospital in the future? Who else will dare to diagnose diseases for me?"

In this way, Zhu Si stood on the moral high ground instead, which made it difficult for the ministers present to accept.

"Okay, this case is considered to be my amnesty for them. The Ministry of Criminal Affairs will decide on the number of criminals according to the circumstances, and distinguish them according to their crimes. If they are not serious, they will be dismissed as civilians."

Zhu Sidao, "After the Ministry of Punishment comes up again, I will decide according to the situation. That's it."

……

……

Yang Tinghe returned to the cabinet.

Before Jiang Mian came over to talk to Yang Tinghe, Fei Hong came over first and said, "It is said that Zhongde is already dying of illness, and it may only happen in the past two days."

"Oh?"

Yang Tinghe frowned.

Zhongde is Yuan Zonggao. Historically, Yuan Zonggao died on the seventh day of September in the [-]th year of Zhengde, but now it is the twelfth day of September. That is to say, Yuan Zonggao's life span has been extended by at least a few days because of Zhu Hao's influence.

But because he died of a disease, which is a chronic disease of old age, Zhu Hao can't do much.

Yuan Zonggao hadn't made any achievements in the few days since he entered the court, and he didn't really shine when he was in Xingwangfu, but he almost disappeared after he arrived at the court. Yang Tinghe felt that Yuan Zonggao died without doing anything, was it too fast?
"understood."

Jiang Mian answered for Yang Tinghe.

Even if Yuan Zonggao really died, it is impossible for the cabinet members to go to condole in person. In such a case, the imperial court will send funeral officials to go, and the ministers of the court must be loyal to their duties.

After Fei Hong left, Jiang Mian said, "Your Majesty suddenly pardoned the people in the Imperial Hospital. I don't know why?"

Yang Tinghe shook his head: "Maybe it's just like His Majesty said, you don't want to cause too many twists and turns, so let's calm down."

To publicize the cause of Emperor Zhengde's death is obviously not something that the new emperor who got cheap should praise, no matter how he died, now that the throne belongs to me, it is a gift from heaven to send those people out of the court so that they can no longer harm Just come to me.

"I always feel that something is wrong."

Jiang Mian suddenly said something.

Yang Tinghe can naturally feel it too.

Since the incident was deliberately provoked by Zhu Si, it should have a purpose. It should not be Zhu Si who took the initiative to excuse the people involved. If the end result is like this, why did the emperor pursue responsibility from the beginning?
Just to drive these imperial doctors out of the imperial hospital?Or kill chickens to scare monkeys, so that other imperial physicians dare not make a fuss about the emperor's prescription?
Moreover, Zhu Si had always used court affairs to govern civil officials before, but it was obvious that the emperor's action this time was abnormal, which was tantamount to giving the civil officials face and not causing more killings.

The civil servants haven't pleaded yet, so it's over like this?
……

……

Yuan Zonggao was indeed terminally ill.

Tang Yin and Jiang Lun went to visit one after another, and when they came back, they explained the situation to Zhu Hao, and the death happened only a few days ago.

Fortunately, in recent months, the main members of the Yuan family have all arrived in the capital. Before Yuan Zonggao died, he was reunited with his family.

"When you are dying, do you still have a solution?" Tang Yin asked Zhu Hao after he came back.

Zhu Hao shook his head.

Zhu Hao was still grateful to Yuan Zonggao, after all, Yuan Zonggao had made great efforts to enter the palace.

But later, because of the alliance between Zhu Hao and Tang Yin, Yuan Zonggao suppressed him again and again, and even formed an antagonistic relationship in the palace. Even if he is about to die now, all the past should not be delved into, but Zhu Hao is still unable to save Yuan Zonggao's life .
