Chapter 422 Huang Jin of Mental Breakdown ([-])
Mao Cheng also felt strange, but instead of looking at Huang Jin, his eyes fell to the ceiling: "Have you been to see Shoufu?"

Hearing his question, Huang Jin looked smug, turned his feet up, and showed an exaggerated Erlang leg, revealing the mud spots splashed on his boots from riding a horse, and said: "Yes, before our family came to Tongzhou, we went to see Shoufu first. Mao Shangshu doesn't want to know what our family said after seeing Shoufu?"

Mao Cheng's eyeballs moved down and landed on Huang Jin, and he said indifferently: "What else can I do for it, isn't it just to honor King Xing, respect King Xing as King Xing, and respect the queen mother as King Xing's queen mother."

Mao Cheng's tone of speech was unhurried, and the words were clear, but it sounded very uncomfortable to people's ears.

Huang Jin didn't know why, but he couldn't understand such a stubborn veteran minister in the court, and he had an inexplicable fear.However, he still pretended to be surprised: "Master Mao is far away in Tongzhou, how did you know about this?"

Mao Cheng still said word by word: "I am the minister of the Ministry of Rites, how could this kind of thing be hidden from me? However, this kind of thing violates the laws of the ancestors and the great etiquette of human relations, but it is absolutely unacceptable."

Huang Jin's heart suddenly tightened, and the raised foot subconsciously began to nod continuously, making people look very undignified.

Mao Cheng continued: "As for what you said to the chief assistant, I don't care at all, and there is no need to inquire."

Huang Jin was irritated by Mao Cheng's arrogance. Although his rank was lower than that of Shangshu Mao, his power was much greater than this Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites.One is in charge of the overall situation, and the other is in charge of some departments. There is no way to compare.

He slammed his feet down, "Slap!" He slapped the ground, and shouted, "Master Mao, if you don't listen, I will tell you. Don't think that what I just discussed with Yang Tinghe is as simple as adding a dedication." .”

"Tell me, tell me." Mao Cheng still dismissed it.

Huang Jinjiang wanted to poke his body forward, and stared at Mao Cheng viciously: "Lord Mao, let me tell you the truth. Our family found Shoufu to discuss whether to add the word "emperor" after this dedication. Respect and dedicate to the king. Dedicate the emperor, and respect the queen mother as the empress dowager of Xingguo."

"Oh." Mao Cheng was a little surprised, the gaze that fell on Huang Jin turned out to be a little vain.

Seeing that he was a little absent-minded, Huang Jin cheered up and said with a smile: "To tell you the truth, Mr. Shoufu has no objection. Judging by his appearance, he has already acquiesced."

"Haha, haha!" Mao Cheng suddenly burst into loud laughter.

Sun Dan didn't expect the old Mao Cheng to be so angry. Standing behind the painting screen, he was also shocked by the laughter and his ears buzzed.

The burst of laughter was so loud and long that it startled the people outside.Several eunuchs who were outside at the entrance of the hospital turned their heads around at the same time, looking at the room.

Huang Jin was confused by Mao Cheng's wild laughter. He was startled and angry, and shouted: "Mao Cheng, what are you laughing at?"

Mao Cheng suddenly stopped laughing, and looked at Huang Jin contemptuously: "Eunuch Huang, since the chief minister has acquiesced, why are you looking for me, Mao Cheng? Didn't your subordinates gather a group of people like Zhang Cong and Huo Tao?" Is this kind of eloquent and eloquent villain who can turn black and white? Let them make another report, the chief assistant draws up the ticket, and you Huang Jin directly approves the red, isn't it over? Hmph, look at my Ministry of Rites when the time comes And how did you resist?"

Huang Jin was so angry that he also laughed: "You are the minister of the Ministry of Rites, so this matter is up to you. Your Majesty said that you are asked to draw up this script. Why, I don't agree."

Mao Cheng sneered: "The sky is big and the earth is big, and it's nothing more than a word of reason. It looks like today, you're going to use me, Mao Cheng, as a breakthrough. Don't think that the chief assistant doesn't speak, you think he's already nodding. As the chief assistant, Yang Xiang should To reconcile yin and yang, to maintain the overall situation of the court, there are some things that he is not comfortable to say, so let me, an unconscious old man, say it. Well, Huang Jin, Mao Cheng will discuss this with you today."

Huang Jin: "What's there to talk about? When it comes to the truth, who is your opponent, Mr. Mao? Our family won't talk about it with you. Just say one thing, you still have a lot of papers?"

Mao Cheng continued to laugh: "Others are afraid of you, Huang Jin, but I, Mao Cheng, are not. Why, you brought so many people here today, and you have captured the entire yard. Are you going to arrest me when you say something wrong?" , directly thrown into the sky prison. Haha, I am too old, and I don’t know when I will die, but I have already looked down on this kind of life and death. Don’t talk too much nonsense, Huang Jin will do it.”

After Mao Cheng finished speaking, he closed his eyes and ignored Huang Jinlai.

He was also sure that Huang Jin would have nothing to do with him.

Mao Cheng is a dignified minister of the Ministry of Rites, a second-rank official, without the emperor's imperial decree, no one can do anything about him.

Sun Dan looked amused in his heart: Huang Jin, no matter how domineering you are, but when you meet such a senior official, you still have nothing to say.This is the evil man's own trouble.

Mao Shang is just such a stupid person, or he has an admirable insistence on his own ideas, although this idea is a bit ridiculous in the eyes of modern people.But in the historical environment at that time, it had to be revered.

Who said that the officials of the dynasty were a bunch of bad guys, at least in the late Wanli period, before the political atmosphere was completely corrupted, the political arena of the entire Ming Dynasty was still dominated by honest men and gentlemen.

The confrontation between the two people in front of the hall made Sun Dan, who was standing behind the painting screen, a little sad.He also called it bad luck in his heart, if he knew that he would have left earlier, he wouldn't have been bumped into by Huang Jin and forced to hide here.

Standing behind for a long time, bored, Sun Dan could hardly bear it and walked out.

But as soon as he thought that after going out, he would inevitably be caught by Huang Jin and asked him to show his political attitude, Sun Dan gave up this thought.

While bored, Sun Dan saw through the gaps in the painting screen that Huang Jin's eunuch face gradually changed color.

Sun Dan found it interesting, so he settled down and observed carefully.

But Huang Jin's pale eunuch's face slowly turned red, as red as an apple after autumn, as if all the blood in his body was rushing to his head.

Looking at him again, his brows were tightly furrowed, and his expression of bewilderment showed that he was in the midst of a fierce ideological struggle.

Sun Dan thought that with Huang Jin's temper, it was most likely that he would stand up abruptly at this moment, flick his sleeves and leave straight away.

However, in just a moment, the redness on Huang Jin's face suddenly faded, turning into a jaundiced color, as if he had aged ten times.

He bit his lower lip fiercely, two balls bulged out from his cheeks, his face was angry and depressed at the same time.

Sun Dan guessed right, Huang Jin was indeed a little confused at the moment.

When he came, he was determined to make great contributions to the emperor. When he saw Yang Tinghe, Yang Shoufu's silence gave him great encouragement.In his opinion, since Lord Shoufu has acquiesced, [-]% of the matter has been done.A mere Mao Cheng is of course nothing. Does he still dare to oppose Shoufu's opinion?

However, he never expected that Mao Cheng would be so strong.

This guy is so old that no one buys and eats hob meat, he can't chew it until he cuts it, and no one can do anything to him.

Huang Jin's heart became more and more impatient, he was not a quick-witted person.He also regretted it in his heart. If he knew that he had left Chen Hong in the house just now, with this little cleverness, he should be able to figure out a way.It's a pity that there is no way to call him over now.

It doesn't matter if Mao Shangshu can't figure it out here, the problem is that when he came, Huang Jin had already vowed in front of the emperor that he would persuade Mao Cheng to make this great wish for the emperor.If he returns to the city in such a desperate manner, how can His Majesty trust him in the future.

As an eunuch, there is nothing worse than losing the trust of the emperor.

That's right, he, Huang Jin, has a special relationship with the emperor, so there is no need to worry about the prosperity and wealth in this life, but if this matter is not done well, His Majesty will never send him down again.Could it be that they will hang out in the palace like this in the future?
No, I, Huang Jin, can't just give up like this!

Thinking of this, Huang Jin couldn't care less about what was decent or not, and stood up abruptly.

When he stood up, he made a huge movement, causing a gust of wind.

Mao Cheng opened his eyes and looked at Huang Jin in surprise.

Before Mao Cheng could speak, something even more surprising happened.

But Huang Jin suddenly knelt down in front of Mao Cheng with a "plop!", and kowtowed down with a bang.

This time not only Mao Cheng was taken aback, but even Sun Dan who was standing behind the painting screen was so startled that he almost cried out.Neither of them expected that the majestic Huang Jin in the past would do such an unbelievable thing.

Mao Cheng yelled: "Huang Jin, what are you doing, get up quickly!"

Huang Jin cried: "Master Mao, this imperial examination question has been entangled for so long. If it continues like this, His Majesty will be uneasy, the court will be uneasy, and the people of the world will be uneasy. Now that the imperial court is corrupt, it has become a chronic disease; the suffering of the common people is beyond words! Mao Do you know, my lords? Do you know, my lords in the Ministry of Rites? This head is not only made by me, Huang Jin, but also represents His Majesty. This is what the Holy Majesty meant. The Holy Majesty said: No one has parents, why can't I show my respect for my parents? I must ask you to change your mind! If you really want to think about the common people in the world and your majesty's suffering, then you should agree!"

Suddenly, an evil fire rushed up in Mao Cheng's heart. Although he was old, he had the nature of Jiang Gui.After decades of experience in the officialdom, I have never experienced any kind of occasion. I don't know how many times I have been coerced in this way.Huang Jin's move was also a disguised form of coercion. It was fine if he didn't do it, but Mao Cheng refused to agree to him kneeling like this.

Thinking of this, Mao Cheng stood up suddenly, ignored Huang Jin, turned around, and knelt down facing the direction of the capital north.He took off the black hat on his head and said loudly: "Your Majesty, although the old minister is confused, I can't let the etiquette be broken in my hands. The only thing I have to do is not to participate in the ceremony once I go! Now, I will submit a note and please resign from the post of Minister of Rites. "

After speaking, he stood up, walked in front of Huang Jin, threw his hat on the ground in front of him, spread out a pen and paper, and began to write a letter of invitation.

Now, Huang Jin completely exploded.He stood up, walked to the case, put his mouth close to Mao Cheng's ear, and cursed: "You are a big man, you are a good old thief. Your Majesty has treated you with great kindness, but you are so disgusting. Did Lei kill you and take you?"

Mao Cheng's writing hand remained steady: "Mao Cheng has a clear conscience."
