Ming Dynasty 1566

Chapter 137

Jiajing looked at him closely: "'Four Virtues Henry Yuan'. There are four people in the cabinet, and I knew that I couldn't miss a word 'Zhen'. Zhao Zhenji, I didn't misread you. Come in and tell me what I need to say. "

"Yes." Zhao Zhenji kowtowed outside the door, stood up and entered the monastery, and knelt down on the ground three feet away from Jiajing.

Jiajing: "Let's talk."

Zhao Zhenji raised his head: "I dare to beg Your Majesty, can I show you the congratulatory form written by Hai Rui first."

Jiajing's gaze, which was full of tenderness just now, suddenly turned upside down, and the figure of Zhao Zhenji kneeling in front of him also turned upside down following his gaze, and the voice that was soft just now immediately turned into a deep voice. The wind blowing from the hole: "'Congratulations Biao?' You still say that Hai Rui wrote a Congratulations Biao?"

It was the first time Zhao Zhenji saw Jiajing's gaze and heard such a voice. He seemed to be thrown into a bottomless abyss all at once, and he felt that his heart was sinking all the time.Finally, he remembered the eternal bet he made with the king when he came in, "put it to death and live later"!Gritting his teeth, he calmed down, and instead of looking at Jiajing, he looked at the memorabilia scattered around him, and simply threw away all fear, and played loudly: "I beg Your Majesty once again, boldly, to send Hai Rui back to you." Show me what you wrote."

Jiajing saw that he was not stopped by his eyes and voice that could subdue all the monsters, but instead was a little surprised, so his eyes followed and stared at Zhao Zhenji: "You want to say, this thing written by Hai Rui Didn't you know anything beforehand?"

Zhao Zhenji: "Your Majesty, I really don't know."

Jiajing looked at Chen Hong and smiled, it was the kind of gloomy smile looking for a tacit understanding: "See? One is stronger than the other, wash yourself clean first, and then fight with me. Zhao Zhenji, don't you hear that the devil is one foot taller? One foot taller?"

Zhao Zhenji bowed her head deeply: "I am stupid, I don't know what the Holy One is referring to, please tell the Holy One clearly."

Jiajing: "Okay! Then I will make it clear that you are the Minister of the Household Department. Which department is Hai Rui in charge of?"

Zhao Zhenji: "Return to Your Majesty, Hai Rui is the head of the household department in charge of the minister."

Jiajing: "Who brought this thing from Hai Rui?"

Zhao Zhenji: "Return to His Majesty, I personally went to his house to get it."

Jiajing: "Who told you to get it?"

Zhao Zhenji was stunned by this question and didn't reply immediately.

Jiajing: "Stop dumb? Are you afraid to tell the person behind you?"

Zhao Zhenji: "Returning to Your Majesty, it was Xu Ge who asked the minister to urge the congratulatory form. It was outside the hall, in front of everyone, who asked the minister to get the congratulatory form."

"What a sharp mouth, and said it was a congratulatory form." Jiajing looked at Chen Hong again and sneered.

Chen Hong continued: "Zhao Zhenji is a hero, he is a good man, so he dares to act and admit it. Even a small head of the household department under you knows that the coffin is ready, but you are not as good as him as a court official?"

Zhao Zhenji looked at Chen Hong suddenly, Chen Hong was staring at him darkly, and he was also staring at Chen Hong without showing any weakness.

Jiajing looked at Chen Hong and Zhao Zhenji's eyes staring at each other coldly, knowing that today's battle was full of bows and strings, his anger was slowly suppressed, his fighting spirit was even aroused, and he said coldly: "Zhao Zhenji, you Asked by Chen Hong?"

Zhao Zhenji turned to look at Jiajing suddenly: "Returning to the emperor, the minister was not questioned by Eunuch Chen, but the minister did not bother to answer such rebellious words as Eunuch Chen."

"Master!" Chen Hong almost jumped up, "Hai Rui was instructed by this Zhao Zhenji. As for who is behind Zhao Zhenji, the master will hand him over to the slave, so the slave can make him speak."

This is to take people!Just wait for Jiajing to answer, and the prison will rise immediately.

Outside the palace gate, the ministers were still standing there stiffly, but they all closed their eyes.

Chen Hong waited with all his strength for Jiajing's order, but Jiajing was silent again at this moment, just staring at Zhao Zhenji who was kneeling in front of him.

At this time, Zhao Zhenji unexpectedly showed a rare concentration, resting his hands on the ground, motionless.

Jiajing became more and more gloomy at this time, and glanced at Chen Hong: "Don't you want to hear how he said that you are a big treason?"

"Yes." Chen Hong swallowed, turned to Zhao Zhenji and shouted, "Say!"

Zhao Zhenji raised his head again and looked deeply at Jiajing: "Yes! Hai Rui is a subordinate of the minister. He deceives the emperor, which is equivalent to the minister's deception. This minister's crime is one. The thing written by Hai Rui was taken by the minister himself. Those who come to present the memorial to the Holy Master, the presenter and the writer are guilty of the same crime, this minister is guilty of the second crime. Hai Rui's memorial is so crazily against the words of the above, whether I know it or not, it is hard to escape the responsibility of these two crimes. Hai Rui Now that I prepared a coffin and was willing to be punished, I just prepared a coffin and was willing to be punished. Eunuch Chen asked if I was a hero, and I replied to Eunuch Chen. Since Hai Rui committed a crime, why did Eunuch Chen call him a hero? Hai Rui is not a hero, so why does Eunuch Chen call his minister a hero? Eunuch Chen’s words are outrageous. I implore Your Majesty to order Eunuch Chen to take back these words! Only then can I have something to say, Chen Zuo.”

Huang Jin, who had been lying there with his head down, suddenly raised his head at this moment, and looked at Zhao Zhenji with unabashed admiration.

Jiajing looked at Huang Jin suddenly: "Admiration? I was thinking in my heart that this is a real hero, right?" After saying this, he turned to Chen Hong again: "Chen Hong, you have eyesight, that Hai Rui is A hero, this Zhao Zhenji is also a hero. Not only are you not wrong, but you are absolutely right. Very right! Very right! Very right!"

Zhao Zhenji's eyes slowly flashed despair from the moment he came in, but he still looked at Jiajing, motionless.

Only then did Jiajing look at him again: "You don't know, I've always liked heroes all my life! Including your mentor, your backer, your accomplices, heroes or heroes, stand up. I like them all! "

"I'm not a hero! I'm not someone's accomplice!" Zhao Zhenji knew that not only his own wealth and life, but also the wealth and life of many more people were hanging by the thread of his reply, so he gritted his teeth. Straightened up, "I am a Jinshi in the 21st year of Jiajing, and a student of the emperor. If you say that your mentor is your mentor! 24 years ago, I served as an inspector in the Imperial Academy, and then I was promoted to be a servant, governor, and minister of the household department Up until two months ago, when he was promoted to the Taiwan Pavilion, His Majesty promoted every step of the way. If you talk about backing, His Majesty is the backer of your minister. If you talk about fellow party, your minister is just your Majesty's party! What I just said is not the way for a king to judge his ministers. I implore Your Majesty to take it back!"

Zhao Zhenji said these words with all his might, so that the voice of Lang Lang echoed in the jingshe and the main hall for a long time!
This voice also filled Jiajing's ears, and his mind suddenly went blank.What's going on today?He sat on the futon in a daze, staring in a daze at the brightly lit lights from the countless lanterns on the Dianping outside the window opposite the monastery.And the ministers standing on the stone steps were obviously overwhelmed by Zhao Zhenji's protest in the hall today, all eyes flashed with excitement, and even Gao Gong, who had never been very optimistic about Zhao Zhenji, was heard by the voice from the hall Excited!

Xu Jie's eyes were filled with tears again. After all, he was old. After listening to Zhao Zhenji's fierce performance, his body felt weak. Gao Gong who was standing beside him supported him. He supported, and already took the lead and knelt down again.

The ministers standing on the stone steps all knelt down again.

All eyes were looking at the monastery that was still out of sight with hope, and all ears were pricked up to listen to whether Zhao Zhenji below could play the words of resurrection from the dead.

Jiajing slowly withdrew his gaze from the window. His gaze had never been so blank and helpless before, and he slowly shifted his gaze to Zhao Zhenji who was lying in front of him, and then turned to Chen Hong: "Chen Hong."

Chen Hong: "Go back to the master, the slave is here."

Jiajing: "This Zhao Zhenji absolutely wants you to take back that sentence, and wants me to take back that sentence, will you take it back?"

Chen Hong: "Back to the master, the slave will never take it back! Today's incident is not only unprecedented in my Ming Dynasty since Emperor Gao, but also unprecedented in all dynasties. This Zhao Zhenji is clearly a trickster, a traitor who seems loyal! I implore the master! Don't be deceived by him, let alone by the people behind him. That Hai Rui must be arrested immediately, and this Zhao Zhenji must also be arrested immediately! Anyone who usually has dealings with that Hai Rui must be arrested! Thorough investigation is required. Check it out!"

Jiajing looked deeply at Chen Hong: "Who will investigate? Who will be investigated?"

Chen Hong: "Slaves come to investigate, and anyone involved will be investigated!"

Jiajing stopped looking at him, and turned to Zhao Zhenji: "Zhao Zhenji, Chen Hong's words are not treasonous, right?"

Zhao Zhenji: "Since the Holy Majesty has listened to Eunuch Chen's words, I will go to prison now."

"I don't listen to anyone!" Jiajing yelled inexplicably again, "It's too early for you to go to prison! Didn't you just say that you are my student? Are you a subject? Yes or no, I will not recognize you or deny you now, I will recognize you as a hero, and I will never take back this sentence! Let the hero check the hero, and the hero check the hero!" He suddenly felt short of breath when he said this , I also felt that there were many shadows shaking in my mind, and I muttered in my mouth: "The hero goes to check the hero... the hero goes to check the hero... Chen Hong..."

Chen Hong was a little dazed, so he deserved some hesitation in saying this: "The servant is here."

Jiajing: "One for you, one for Zhao Zhenji, one for the Ministry of Criminal Justice, one for the Metropolitan Procuratorate, one for Dali Temple, one for the Procuratorate, one for the Procuratorate..." As he spoke, his eyes straightened, thinking: "One for Chaotianguan... Xuandu looks at one...to investigate that Hai Rui, to investigate his accomplices..."

Both Chaotian Temple and Xuandu Temple have been mentioned, isn't this crazy talk?This time, not only Chen Hong, but also Zhao Zhenji and Huang Jin saw Jiajing's strangeness, and three pairs of eyes followed him.

"Qi, Qizuo, Master Long Live." Chen Hong couldn't speak fluently, "Who should the slaves start to investigate? Who should be arrested first?"

Jiajing's eyes were still there, as if he was answering Chen Hong's words, and he seemed to be talking to himself: "From whom to investigate..., who to arrest... Lu Fang." Suddenly he looked at Huang Jin.

"Master!" Huang Jin cried, and leaned over on his knees, supporting Jiajing.

Jiajing's eyes were still staring at him: "Tell me, who should start the investigation... who should be arrested first..."

"Master!" Chen Hong saw that Jiajing was going crazy, so he hurried over, supported him, and shouted to remind him, "He is not Lu Fang! Lu Fang is a traitor! Master, make an order!"

Jiajing's eyes were closed tightly, his teeth were clenched tightly, and he looked like he was about to fall down.

Huang Jin stood up abruptly and hugged Jiajing from behind.

Zhao Zhenji also stood up, supporting Jiajing from the side.

Chen Hong still shouted loudly: "Master! Master! You have to make up your mind at this time!"

"Chen Hong!" Huang Jin yelled with tears all over his face, "You are still human! You should check what you should do, but you still want to force the master to death! Come on! Come on! Pass the imperial physician, pass the imperial physician!"

"Call the Imperial Physician! Quickly pass the Imperial Physician!" The two eunuchs on duty in the hall shouted and rushed out.

"Old Li Ge, Su Qing!" Xu Jie yelled anxiously, standing up with support.

Gao Gong also stood up immediately, and Li Chunfang crawled to his feet.

The other officials of the six divisions of the Jiuqing were still kneeling and looking at the three of them in a state of confusion.

Xu Jie: "Let's go in!"

Gao Gong led Xu Jie into the palace gate with one arm in his hand, and Li Chunfang staggered to follow the palace gate.

"Your Majesty!" Xu Jie yelled, he couldn't care less, and led Gao Gong and Li Chunfang into the Abode.

Huang Jin hugged Jiajing from behind, while Chen Hong and Zhao Zhenji supported Jiajing one by one.

Xu Jie, Li Chunfang and Gao Gong all approached the futon, knelt down in front of the futon, and looked up at Jiajing.

At this time, Jiajing's eyes opened, his eyes were red, and his face was also red. It turned out that just now he had used decades of profound luck skills, and raised his breath from his dantian, feeling the three hands in the air. Supporting him, he saw Xu Jie and the other three rushed into the abode without obeying the order, and shouted, "Let go!"

Chen Hong was the first to let go of his hand, and immediately shouted to Zhao Zhenji: "Let go!"

Zhao Zhenji hurriedly let go of her hand, and knelt down on the spot again.

Only Huang Jin was still holding Jiajing behind him.

Jiajing: "Chen Hong."

"Master, the slave is here." Chen Hong answered urgently.

Jiajing: "First, catch this slave who eats inside and out behind me."

"Yes!" Chen Hong replied loudly, and shouted, "Come on!"

The eunuchs on duty in the two main halls rushed in immediately.

Chen Hong: "Take Huang Jin and lock him up to the Prison Supervisor!"

The two eunuchs on duty responded, walked towards Huang Jin, and stood beside him.

Huang Jin then slowly let go of Jiajing's hand, walked in front of him, knelt down, kowtowed, stood up and walked out.

The two eunuchs on duty walked out right behind him.

"Xu Jie." Jiajing's eyes fixed on Xu Jie and the three of them.

Xu Jie: "Your Majesty, I am here."

Jiajing: "Who told you to come in? Did you want to force the palace?"

Xu Jie fell to the ground, Li Chunfang and Gao Gong both fell to the ground.Zhao Zhenji also lay down on the side.

Jiajing: "It's Hai Rui's accomplices, there's still time to run away. If it's not the accomplices, they'll all go to the cabinet to guard the house. Waiting for investigation!"

Xu Jie stood up slowly, Li Chunfang and Gao Gong slowly stood up, Zhao Zhenji hesitated and followed suit.

"Stop." Jiajing's gaze stabbed at Zhao Zhenji, "You have become a hero, and you want to leave?"

Zhao Zhenji knelt back again: "I await the order."

Jiajing: "I don't have an order for you, just listen to Chen Hong." After saying this, he looked at Xu Jie and the others with disdain: "Get out!"

Xu Jie, Li Chunfang and Gao Gong turned around and walked out.

Chen Hong looked at Jiajing.

Jiajing: "With this book written by that bastard, you know in your heart who should be investigated, who should be arrested, who should be interrogated, and how."

"Slave understands!" Chen Hong knelt down, picked up the notebook of Hai Rui that Jiajing threw on the ground, kowtowed and stood up.Then he looked at Zhao Zhenji: "Hero, come with me!"

Only then did Zhao Zhenji kowtow to Jiajing and stood up.

The torches were flickering, it was already midnight.The people who came were all eunuchs from the Criminal Division of the Great Nei, and none of the Jin Yiwei from the Zhenfu Division came.

Pairs of feet wearing spiked boots were like iron hooves, stepping in densely through the open door of the Hai family, and the small yard was trembling under those feet!
Swarming into the courtyard, many eunuchs who were sentenced to punishment divided into two groups, all the way to the west wing, and all the way to the kitchen and firewood house on the east!
The leader of the eunuch who was appointed for punishment led a group of eunuchs who were appointed for punishment and went straight to the main room in the north.

The head of the eunuch who was punished ran to the door of the north house and stopped abruptly.

The group of eunuchs who followed him also stopped abruptly.

The door of the main room was open, a chair was placed in front of the square table, and Hai Rui was sitting on the chair.There is a white wooden coffin behind him!
The eunuch's head stared closely at Hai Rui who was sitting in the middle of the north room: "Is that Hai Rui, the head of the Ministry of Household Cleaning Department?"

Hai Rui stood up, "I am."

"Locked!" The eunuch's head bowed.

Two eunuchs carrying shackles and handcuffs rushed in immediately.

Hai Rui stood there motionless.

The ring-shaped iron chain first wrapped around Hai Rui's neck, then tightened, and a copper lock was locked around the neck with a click!The lower end of the iron chain was the handcuffs, which quickly cuffed Hai Rui's hands and locked them with a click!

The other eunuch squatting down, first put one ring-shaped shackle around Hai Rui's left foot, and then put the other ring-shaped shackle around Hai Rui's right foot. The distance between the chains between the two shackles was less than Five inches, and was also locked with a click of a big lock.
