Chapter 84: Father-in-law Wei who made a slip of the tongue
When everyone looked back, they just saw Zhu Youzheng, who was dressed in a yellow robe, standing at the door and staring at them with unkind eyes, followed by a eunuch wearing a blue chief eunuch costume with a slightly fat figure and a gloomy face, this eunuch was Wei Zhongxian, who is now known as nine thousand years old.
Everyone who was taken aback hurriedly stood up and bowed down to Zhu Youxiao, and Gu Bingqian was even more frightened and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers don't know that the emperor has not been far away, forgive your sins!" ”
Zhu Youxiao walked quickly in front of everyone, glanced at everyone before sitting down on a chair headed by him, seeing Zhu Youxiao coming, everyone's faces showed surprise, Zhu Youzhen has rarely even been in the early dynasty since he ascended the throne, let alone coming to Wenyuan Pavilion, why did he suddenly have the interest to come today, could it be that something big happened.
Zhu Youxiao, who was sitting on the chair, glanced at everyone and said lightly: "You Aiqing don't be surprised, I came here today to see how our Ming cabinet handles the government, but I never thought that it would be an eye-opener for me!" ”
As soon as Zhu Youxiao's words came out, Gu Bingqian and the others' faces became a little unnatural, especially Cui Jingrong and Lin Yaoyu, who were shouting not to carry the blame just now, their faces were even more red and blue, and they just said that they would not kick Father-in-law Wei to carry the black pot, but in the blink of an eye, people came to their own house, and this scene was so embarrassing.
At this time, Wei Zhongxian, who was standing behind Zhu Youxiao, also had an ugly face. If he didn't come, I really didn't know that these guys were so faceless behind his back, didn't they just carry the pot for our family for a while, as for the reaction was so intense? The more he thought about it, the more angry Wei Zhongxian became, and scolded without thinking: "Lin Yaoyu, Lin Yaoyu, you tell our family, our family is sorry for you, you actually slandered our family so much, what does it mean that this matter is handled by nine thousand years old, is your cabinet really not aware of this matter?" Now that something has happened, it's all on our family, and we'll tell you...... No way! And you Gu Bingqian, you are a ......"
Wei Zhongxian has been arrogant and domineering in the court for many years, don't look at Lin Yaoyu and others as the secretaries of various ministries, but they don't dare to say much on this occasion, don't you see that even Gu Bingqian, the head of the cabinet, didn't make a sound?
At this moment, a cold voice rang out.
"Wei Zhongxian, shut up!"
"Ah......h
Wei Zhongxian, who was scolding happily, was suddenly interrupted, and he didn't react for a while, since he hugged the thigh of the Apocalypse, our father-in-law Wei can't remember how long his words have not been interrupted, and when he came back to his senses, he found that Zhu Youjiao was staring at him, only to see Zhu Youxiao said with a cold face: "Wei Zhongxian, who gave you the courage to insult the important ministers of a country?" ”
"Your Majesty...... Slaves...... The slave maid ...... "Seeing Zhu Youxiao's sudden anger, Wei Zhongxian was a little dazed, Zhu Youxiao has always trusted Wei Zhongxian over the years, and he generally spoke to him with a pleasant face, and it almost never happened to scold him in public like this, but I didn't expect Zhu Youxiao to scold him in public in front of all the ministers today, which is definitely the first time for Wei Zhongxian.
After the surprise, there is extreme fear, don't look at Wei Zhongxian is now called a thousand years old, and he can also drink at will among the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, but he knows in his heart that his rights are completely based on Zhu Youxiao's trust in him, once Zhu Youxiao is dissatisfied with him, then everything he has now will be in vain.
Frightened, he suddenly understood that the reason why Zhu Youxiao scolded him was because he had stepped on the line. On weekdays, he can scold whoever he wants, and kill whoever he wants, but there is a premise, that is, with Zhu Youxiao's acquiescence or absence, because at that time he represented Zhu Youxiao, the Ming Emperor, but now that Zhu Youxiao is still here, he shouts at the ministers in front of Zhu Youxiao in public, that is, it is disrespectful, and no emperor will like his own servants to drink his ministers for himself in front of him. If this kind of behavior encounters the ruthless father and son of Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di, who have been in the early stage, they will definitely be pushed out immediately and killed, and there will be absolutely no second result.
"Puff ......"
Wei Zhongxian, who understood, knelt heavily on the ground and kowtowed to Zhu Youxiao.
"Grandpa Huang, the slave is speechless...... Is it the slave who lost her word...... Suitable Slave ...... The slave maid ...... "Speaking of this, Wei Zhongxian was stuck, because he found that no matter what excuse he used, he couldn't hide his behavior of drinking the minister for Zhu Youxiao without authorization, and the master didn't open his mouth, but you, a slave, made the master the master, and this kind of behavior was punished by the master even in the people."
Looking at Wei Zhongxian, who was kneeling on the ground and kowtowing, the look in Zhu Youxiao's eyes kept flashing, but he remembered what Yang Feng had said to him before returning to Beijing. I couldn't help but think to myself: "It seems that what Yang Feng said does have some truth, his indulgence of Wei Zhongxian should be a little excessive, and it is necessary to take away this rein." ”
Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao had the intention to call someone in and drag Wei Zhongxian out to deal with it, but when he saw Wei Zhongxian kneeling on the ground crying bitterly, his heart couldn't help but soften again, and he thought that Wei Zhongxian had been handling most of the government affairs for him all these years, and had helped him block almost all the firepower of the courtiers, if he dealt with him too hard, he would inevitably be looked down upon by the courtiers, which would cause a serious blow to Wei Zhongxian's prestige, and his face eased when he thought of this.
I saw him wave his hand, "That's it, you didn't mean it, forget it this time, if there is a next time, I will not be light." ”
"Hoo ......"
Wei Zhongxian, who knelt on the ground and kowtowed, breathed a long sigh of relief as if he had been amnestied, and those who were familiar with Zhu Youxiao's temper immediately knew that he had passed this level again.
Looking at Wei Zhongxian, who had a look on his face like an amnesty, Zhu Youxiao, who was already angry, scolded with a smile: "What are you still doing there, why don't you get up quickly." ”
"Yes......"
Wei Zhongxian hurriedly stood up and stood behind Zhu Youxiao with his hands down, this time he made up his mind to kill him and no longer interjected casually, and this scene looked at Gu Bingqian and others on the side and couldn't help but secretly feel sorry, it would be great if Zhu Youxiao could take the opportunity to kill Wei Zhongxian just now, but they also knew that this kind of thing was impossible, Wei Zhongxian was an important means for Zhu Youxiao to check and balance the courtiers, how could he be executed because of such a trivial matter.
Just when Gu Bingqian and the others were thinking about it, Zhu Youxiao's voice sounded again: "Ladies and gentlemen, I already know about the incident in Wu County, Nanzhili, how should you deal with this matter, have you come up with a charter?" ”
Everyone looked at each other a few times, and finally set their eyes on Gu Bingqian, who made him the first assistant, Gu Bingqian had no choice but to stand up......
