Chapter 928: Monarch and Minister
"Qin Aiqing flattened," Wanli smiled and made a gesture of lifting upward.
Qin Lin got up and looked at Wanli with his head held high, if he wants to make a play, he has to be very ten, and there is no need to hide it at this time.
Wanli frowned slightly, and groaned slightly.
Seeing that Qin Lin was so uninteresting, Zhang Whale was extremely happy, thinking about how to give him maggots, and Zhang Cheng secretly pinched his sweat, but this was the right call from the imperial front, Wanli didn't speak, and they were not good at trespassing.
As the emperor, Wanli is really inconvenient to ask Qin Lin directly why the brocade robe and jade belt are gorgeous, then it also seems to be a small family, and if you dare to give it to others, you are not allowed to wear it? Thinking about it, looking at Qin Lin, Wanli suddenly found something, and said with a smile: "I recalled Qin Aiqing and gave him the important task of the governor of Dongchang, and I am also worried that Aiqing will leave Beijing and travel thousands of miles all the way, I am afraid that I will be mentally exhausted and physically tired. ”
Hiss~~ Zhang Cheng gasped, don't look at Wanli's smile, there is a layer of meaning hidden in the depths of his words, which makes Gonggong Zhang, who is familiar with His Majesty, shudder.
Qin Lin was degraded out of Beijing by the court staff, and it stands to reason that when it comes to returning to Beijing, he should be full of dust and haggardness, and he will bow down to His Majesty Dan and exchange tears to thank the emperor, which is like words.
How can he be like him now, healthy and full of spirit, full of energy, full of energy, not like he has come back, but like going out to enjoy the mountains and rivers for more than a year.
The Son of Heaven is a staff and a derogatory, you should be embarrassed, but you live comfortably, and you are happier than anyone else, what is the reason? According to the theory of punishment, I am afraid that there is something wrong.
Zhang Whale and Zhang Cheng were the opposite, the master of ceremonies was smiling secretly beside him, but soon he thought that something was wrong, Qin Lin was such a deceitful and cunning guy, how could he be so ignorant? Fear...... Sure enough, Qin Lin opened his eyes and said confidently: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister has a clear conscience and everything is calm, so he ate well and slept well along the way, and he was naturally full of energy. ”
Ha, Zhang Whale really laughed when he got here, what did he say with a clear conscience, isn't he still saying that he didn't do anything wrong to carry the coffin to death? This is a cow with His Majesty in person, Qin Lin is not unlucky?
Several henchmen and little eunuchs on duty in the imperial study secretly bit their tongues, knowing that the lord of Qin was bold and domineering, but he didn't expect to be so domineering, openly claiming that derogating him out of Beijing was a tour of the mountains and rivers, and he still did nothing wrong to carry the coffin at the beginning, this is not the old birthday star hanging - think you live a long life?
Outside the door, a little eunuch looked left and right and was ready to take the time to slip away, and the bus came down on his behalf, staring at Qin Lin without any mistakes, and there was a faint leak between his words.
Who knew that Wanli's expression changed from a fake smile to a real smile, and the brows that had been a little carried were also relaxed, and he pointed at Qin Lin with a smile: "That's it, I won't mention all kinds of things in the past, just let you go out to relax, and in the future, you must fight the king's affairs, and you can't do anything wantonly." ”
How so? The little eunuchs looked at each other, they really didn't expect His Majesty to react like this, and the little eunuch who had just pulled out his feet and slipped away also stood up again, only to feel that the second monk was confused.
You know, Wanli is not a particularly tolerant and gentle emperor! There are some things that he grasps very tightly.
Oops, I was blinded by someone Qin! Zhang Whale was so stunned that he stumbled, and immediately understood why Qin Lin passed the test easily.
Zhang Cheng understood almost at the same time, and breathed a long sigh of relief, knowing that the first pass back to Beijing, Qin Lin had a thrilling escape, alas~~ With Xu Wenchang and Master Xu as his mastermind, it was really powerful!
As everyone knows, dealing with Wanli in this way was not Xu Wenchang's idea, but was agreed between Zhang Zixuan and Qin Lin on the way back to Beijing.
When Zhang Juzheng and his sons talked about the emperor's mental arts, Confucianism and internal law, Zhang Zixuan was often present, and he was no stranger to Wanli in his father's mouth, Wanli studied under Zhang Juzheng, Zhang Zixuan is the only daughter of the Jiangling Xianggong, although they have never met, but they can be regarded as senior brothers and sisters, and the qualifications of the junior sister are many times higher than that of the senior brother!
Qin Lin should inherit Wanli in his mouth, and Zhang Zixuan's smiling demeanor appeared in his mind: "Brother Qin, do you know what is the most taboo of the Ninth Five-Year Supreme?" The courtiers are punished and have a grudge! Brother Qin should be so ...... like this"
Just like Zhang Zixuan's analysis, Wanli is not worried that Qin Lin will gain weight and lose weight, and he is not worried that he will not admit his mistake by holding the matter of carrying the coffin to death back then, so he will taboo him to have a grudge after being beaten by the court staff and being degraded, which is the most important thing for the master to do the art of the emperor! The Empress Li who "can't look back on the old country" died so much that he couldn't die anymore, but the Empress Shu who was "happy to miss Shu" lived his life peacefully, and the difference is here.
If Qin Lin is sad and haggard in the spring, sad and autumn, like Doctor Qu by the Boluo River and Yue Wumu on the Fengbo Pavilion, then Wanli will not dare to use him anymore even if he dies of poverty; It is just a look of good teeth, good appetite, good body, good food, fragrant food, and eyes can see that he has a wide heart, a fat body, and a good mood, and there will never be a little resentment, Wanli is much more relieved.
There is also a precedent for this, when Emperor Jiajing died after Hai Rui was imprisoned, the director of the prison heard about this situation, thinking that this old gentleman would not only be released but also reused, so he made wine and food to entertain him. Haibijia himself suspected that he should be escorted to Xishi to be beheaded, so he ate and drank as much as he wanted, regardless of anything else. He told him that Jiajing had died, but Hai Rui immediately cried in grief, and immediately spit out the food he was eating, saying that no matter how the king treats his ministers, the ministers will always be loyal to the king, and he will be grief-stricken when he hears that His Majesty has died.
Whether it is Mr. Hai's high ideological realm, or his twisting of a tendon, anyway, after this incident came out, the name of Haibijia's loyal monarch and pure minister has become more and more high.
Haibi frame in prison vomited and cried bitterly when he heard the mourning, Qin Lin degraded and went out chic, one positive and one negative have the same magic.
After Qin Lin's performance, Wanli's wariness gradually disappeared, and it was very appropriate for the monarchs and ministers to talk with each other.
Zhang Whale saw that the situation was becoming more and more favorable to Qin Lin, his eyes rolled, and he suddenly asked with a dark smile: "General Qin is really the courage of a bear and the body of a tiger and a leopard. ”
The little eunuchs looked at each other, okay, Zhang Sili finally gave maggots to the Qin Governor.
Wanli looked at Qin Lin with interest, how could he not know what Zheng Zhen did? However, in his eyes, there will never be a mistake when it comes to Zheng Zhen: Concubine Zheng Aifei is rich and noble, and she has never forgotten the old kindness, she is affectionate and righteous, not to mention that she has already promised me, saving Qin Lin's life has already repaid the past kindness, and next time she doesn't care whether this person lives or dies.
Zhang Cheng secretly wondered to himself, the old rival had invisibly involved Concubine Zheng Guifei, should he quietly go to Chuxiu Palace to sue him for a trick? It's just that Your Majesty's face must not look good...... Qin Lin was stunned, but when he saw him stretch out his hand, he untied the jade belt, and then undressed unhurriedly and undressed: "Three hundred court staffs, how can you get it?" Thanks to Zheng Niangniang's medicine, I escaped with my surname, and I was covered with scars all over my body, and it hurt for half a month, so I took off my clothes and showed Zhang Sili a clear ......"
Poof~~ Wanli Zhang Whale Zhang Cheng plus the little eunuch and the little palace maid on duty, they are all about to vomit now, I've seen shameless, I've never seen Qin Lin so shameless, but she just took off her clothes and ran naked in the Forbidden City!
Wanli looked at Zhang Whale with some dissatisfaction, I said that I would not mention all kinds of things in the past, but I would like to replace them, and I also talked about Concubine Zheng Ai.
Zhang Whale's heart was drumming, and he still asked again: "Lord Qin is covered with bruises, and Xue Xue is in pain, I'm afraid my heart will inevitably be angry, right?" ”
Yes, it turns out that the killer move is here! Zhang Cheng was taken aback and understood what his old opponent was referring to.
Now Zheng Zhen is exclusively favored by the Sixth Palace, whose head His Majesty wants in the decree, she dares to reach out halfway to stop the will, there is such a cow, and it makes no sense to entangle Qin Lin with the staff of the court whether he has released water.
The next sentence is the point, since Qin Lin said that he was bruised all over his body, and he refused to admit the mistake of carrying the coffin and dying, then he thought he had a clear conscience and was beaten again, how could he not feel a little resentment? No matter how Qin Lin pretends to be loyal, I'm afraid that Wanli will also be a little suspicious.
Admit it directly, say that you are resentful, it is absolutely impossible, insist on being loyal, and shout the emperor's grace when you are beaten, which is extremely false, and contradicts "a clear conscience".
Zhang Cheng made a difficulty, if he was in Qin Lin's position, he was afraid that it would not be easy to answer.
"Yes, I was really angry at that time, and I was extremely resentful in my heart," Qin Lin nodded hesitantly, and knelt down to Wanli to plead guilty: "The minister is guilty, the minister, the minister is in pain, and he scolds His Majesty for coming......"
Oops, why are you so stupid! Zhang Cheng was so anxious that he jumped to his feet, even if he pretended to be loyal, it was better than saying that he had scolded His Majesty.
Zhang Whale smiled and bowed his head sideways: "Your Majesty, the old slave please cure Qin Lin for the crime of disrespect." ”
The little eunuchs buzzed in amazement, the little eunuch outside the door shook his head with a wry smile, and walked away without hesitation, but he was afraid that Qin Lin would lose his head if he was a little late, and Zheng Niangniang would start a fire, and his head would not be able to be saved-although the eunuch did not have the small head below, the big head above was still very important.
Wanli didn't rush to get angry, but his face was also very gloomy, and he sneered: "Qin Aiqing, thunder, rain and dew are all graces of heaven, I didn't expect me to punish you a little, and you will hold a grudge against me like this......"
Before he could say anything, Qin Lin jumped up three feet high: "Ah, the minister's wife Xu also said the same, which is slightly the same as what His Majesty's heroes see." ”
"Bold!" Zhang Whale scolded sharply, how can you compare your wife to the Son of Heaven? But as soon as the cheer came out, he couldn't help but laugh.
The little eunuchs all covered their stomachs, nothing else, this imperial study, no, in the entire Forbidden City, no one has ever spoken like this Qin Governor, the little eunuch who had just walked three or five steps towards Chuxiu Palace heard the laughter behind him, so he turned around and came back to investigate.
Zhang Cheng couldn't help laughing, knowing that Qin Lin was a guy who didn't read the Four Books and Five Classics, and he could be regarded as the only one in the DPRK and the Middle Kingdom, but what did His Majesty think, it wouldn't change his mind for a joke, right?
Wanli was made crying and laughing, and touched his chin: "Okay, I, I and your wife Xu Hero see the same thing, so what else did she say after that?" What do you think? ”
Qin Lin straightened his chest and said in a rough voice: "The minister's wife said that the thunder, rain and dew are all graces of heaven, no matter whether you carry the coffin and die or not, Your Majesty can only be beaten and punished, and you will not run away by yourself?" A manly man, with a big scar on his head, just beaten, what's the big deal? What's more, His Majesty's imperial grace in previous years has not been withdrawn, you look at this python robe and jade belt, which others don't have. ”
Wanli had seen Xu Xinyi before, and he had heard her name for a long time, and it was indeed like her tone when he heard this, and the Duke of Wei was favored by the country, so it was also in line with his identity, so he nodded lightly.
Qin Lin's voice became louder and louder, and his eyebrows fluttered: "Chen Xunsi received the gift, and if he was beaten again, he could still withstand the left and right, so he wore the python robe and jade belt." Later, the injury of the court staff slowly healed, and the minister gradually calmed down, looking at the honor of the imperial gift, the sores of the wand were healed in only half a month, but the python robe and jade belt could be worn for a lifetime, in the end, Jun En was much deeper than the court staff. The minister cured the stick sores, ate and drank well, and played comfortably in the mountains and rivers, and had forgotten the court cane; The minister wears a python robe and jade belt at any time, which is to remind himself that he has received the gift of His Majesty, and he dare not forget it all the time. ”
Lying must be seven points true and three points false, Qin Lin himself admitted that he had scolded Wanli, so there are three points of truth first; After he degraded out of Beijing, he did wear a python robe and jade belt, but sometimes he hid inside, and someone played a chapter to impeach him. The first time I saw my majesty after returning to Beijing today, I was forbidden to gallop horses, brocade robes and jade belts on my body, as if I still regarded myself as a favored minister, and I had seven points of truth, and I couldn't help but believe it.
Moreover, Wanli had noticed that Qin Lin's attitude towards himself was different from the heartfelt awe of the Son of Heaven of other courtiers, Qin Lin was like doing business, comparing grace and punishment to the severity, which was exactly in line with Wanli's impression of him.
After listening to the words, Wanli was already laughing, pointed at Qin Lin's nose and said: "You are lazy, thunder, rain and dew are all heavenly, what you said is that the monarch wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die, but it is not like you to bargain and pay back!" That's it, I know that you haven't read any books, so bargain with me, the whole world is not the king's land, this country and thousands of miles are mine, as long as you do things for me wholeheartedly, am I reluctant to reward? You must not lose money! ”
Qin Lin was originally the luck in Qingliu's mouth, the court eagle dog in the eyes of the rebel rebels, and now he is the big devil of the factory guard, and his name is worthless to him.
"Thank you, Your Majesty! Weichen will definitely serve his life wholeheartedly in the future," Qin Lin finished speaking, and said with a sly smile: "Next time, if Your Majesty wants to punish the ministers again, just make a show, don't really fight, or the ministers will take the python robe and jade belt given by the emperor to offset the account, this python robe is counted as a hundred court staffs, and this jade belt is folded into two hundred court staffs." ”
"Get out!" Wanli raised his fist to fight, but Qin Lin was not grateful, so he hugged his head and ran away, and flashed out of the imperial study.
Whew~~ Qin Lin breathed a long sigh of relief, and there was a sneer in his heart, don't look at what Wanli said and laughed just now, that is how well he coped with it, this majesty is mean and unkind, and he forgot your benefits in a blink of an eye, don't dream of being his favorite minister for the rest of his life, look at the fate of Zhang Juzheng and Feng Bao......
