Chapter 803: Human Taste
Why Zhu Yong is so grateful to Wang Xian is very simple, because when Wang Xian reported to the emperor, he did not expose his shortcomings. Instead, he talked about him with Liu Sheng and Xue Lu, giving the emperor the impression that the three of them reacted the same. In this way, Zhu Yong hesitated in front of his will and almost killed Wang Xian, which ruined the emperor's major affairs, and completely blinded Zhu Di.
Therefore, in hindsight, Zhu Yong, Liu Sheng, and Xue Lu were rewarded by Zhu Di at the same time. This time, the emperor only let the three of them be in charge, which shows that they are the emperor's most trusted courtiers.
Zhu Yong didn't dare to imagine what would happen if Wang Xian reported the truth, or even added oil and vinegar? It is estimated that the emperor will not have a seizure for a while, but he will definitely not trust himself anymore.
So Zhu Yong was grateful to Wang Xian, grateful to him for ignoring his past suspicions, and pretending to be wrong for himself, and said in his heart that it was no wonder that the second child of the Zhang family was determined to mix with him, it turned out that this kid was really righteous!
Let's not talk about Cheng Guogong's full gratitude, just say that Wang Xian was carried into the hall, and saw Zhu Di wearing a civilian robe, leaning on a recliner, with an open neckline and a white bandage.
Wang Xian hurriedly supported himself to get up, and with Zhu Zhanji's support, he knelt down to worship Emperor Yongle.
"Excuse me." Zhu Di looked at Wang Xian's pale little face and said with a smile: "Let's also sympathize with each other, let's sit down." β
"I don't dare to be a minister." Wang Xian hurriedly excused himself, in front of the emperor, the courtiers had to kneel, and the ministers had to kneel and stand up, as for those who could have a seat, they were either seventy or eighty, trembling, or favored ministers like Zhang Fu. With Wang Xian's seniority and age, he has to kneel honestly.
"Let you sit down." Zhu Di waved his hand, and the eunuch Li Yan moved a chair with a backrest. "First, you were injured like this, and second, you also saved me."
Hearing the emperor say this, Wang Xianxin let go of most of his heart, even if he turned his face like a book, he would not kill himself. After thanking him for his kindness, Wang Xian sat down, but Zhu Zhanji stood next to him, and the situation was very strange.
"The emperor's dragon body, it's all right." Wang Xian asked a word of peace.
"Hey, it's old......" Zhu Di said a little gloomily: "Back then, this little injury would have been a long time ago." Wang Xian was about to comfort the emperor, but he heard Zhu Di say: "I played a set of Tai Chi this morning, and I feel that I can't get started." β
...... "Wang Xian, this sweat, you are so injured that you almost died of shock, it has only been less than half a month, and you can go to the ground to box, and you are still old?" The emperor is really fierce and fierce, and even though the minister is young, he sighs to himself. β
"We can compare with the imperial grandfather," Zhu Zhanji's sycophant also came as soon as he opened his mouth: "The imperial grandfather is a saint who comes out of a thousand years, and he has a heavenly god to protect his body." β
"Fart." Zhu Di laughed, accidentally pulled the wound, his brows jumped suddenly, and his voice trembled: "My body was boiled out on the battlefield, and I got used to it when I was injured a lot, how can there be any gods...... ......"After saying these words, Zhu Di sweated a lot......
Wang Xian looked at it and understood, and said in his heart that the emperor was bragging, and he was still boxing like a bear? It's pretty much the same for a drip. But how can he say it, so he sang and slapped Zhu Di's ass with Zhu Zhanji, coaxing Zhu Di to smile, and he couldn't feel the pain of the wound.
Just as he was talking and laughing, Zhu Di suddenly said: "Lin San is who are you?" β
Wang Xian's smile stopped abruptly, and the atmosphere in the hall plummeted to freezing.
"Grandpa Huang......" Zhu Zhanji whispered.
"Don't speak." Zhu Di's gloomy eyes stared at Wang Xian.
"Lin San is my nephew and brother." Wang Xian quickly said lightly.
"Hey......" Zhu Zhanji couldn't help but sigh lightly, in fact, before coming in, he told Wang Xian to try his best to get rid of the relationship with Lin San, but obviously, this guy was so strong that the eight cows couldn't pull it back.
"Do you agree with the door first, or do you recognize the brother first?" Zhu Di asked faintly.
"Recognize your brother first." Wang Xian has his own insistence, that is, he values brotherhood, and he does not allow anyone to tarnish this affection, including himself. Even if Lin San has passed away and he is facing a life-and-death situation, he is unwilling to deny his relationship with Lin San in order to survive.
"As an official of the imperial court, why did you make friends with the grandson of King Xiao Ming, the young master of the White Lotus Sect?" The murderous aura on Zhu Di's face became heavier and heavier, as if Wang Xian would be pushed out as long as he didn't answer well.
Under the emperor's prestige, Wang Xian was very nervous. Not to mention him, even Zhu Zhanji on the side felt breathless.
"The minister was not an official of the imperial court at that time, and he didn't know that he was a member of the White Lotus Sect." Wang Xian made up his mind, he didn't hide a word, he wanted to say it as it was, and he wanted to fight or kill casually. So, he returned to Hangzhou after the Northern Expedition to try the test, was framed by Jinyiwei, and met Lin San, who was also in prison, and talked about the cooperation and friendship between the two because of their common enemy, Jinyiwei; talked about Ji Gang sending Lin San to assassinate him, but Lin San showed mercy to his subordinates; said that Lin San revealed his identity to himself, saying that he didn't want to go against the court anymore and wanted his brothers to have a peaceful birthday...... Until this time, Nanhaizi was assassinated.
In the process of telling, Third Brother Lin's burly posture, heroic bearing, soaring righteousness, and peerless skills appeared in front of Wang Xian's eyes again and again, making his eyes fill with tears again and again......
Even Zhu Di and Zhu Zhanji were secretly heartbroken for this peerless strange person told by Wang Xian, and said in their hearts: "No wonder Wang Xian is obsessed, it is really worthwhile to be a brother with such a person." β
Wang Xian finished speaking, and said softly: "This is the way it has passed, the minister is guilty, and the minister is at the disposal of the emperor." β
"Well, that's it." Zhu Di was a little stunned, and felt quite sorry for Daming to lose such a piece of scenery. After losing his mind for a while, he looked at Wang Xian and said: "You are indeed guilty, as the Fusi of Beizhen, you actually do not distinguish between public and private, so how can I rest assured that I will give you a heavier burden." β
"Yes, the minister is guilty, uh......" Wang Xian's heart was sinking, and he secretly said that there was no good fruit to eat, but when he heard the emperor's words, he couldn't help but be stunned.
"Hehe," Zhu Zhanji also breathed a sigh of relief, since the emperor said so, the worst is not to reward or punish, it is really better. "My grandson also said the same about him, he was too righteous and angry. I'll have to change it later! β
"It's not a bad thing to be righteous," Zhu Di shook his head and sighed gloomily: "I originally felt that the most important thing for a courtier is loyalty. For the sake of loyalty, all moral and human qualities have to be put aside. Such courtiers can be relied on. As he spoke, the emperor's eyes showed pain. That's why I used people like Chen Ying and Ji Gang. They are all ruthless people, as long as I give an order, not to mention my friends, even my own father and mother will be killed......"
Obviously, Ji Gang's rebellion this time dealt a great blow to Emperor Yongle. Seeing that the emperor was making self-criticism, Wang Xian and Zhu Zhanji dared to interject, so they could only listen obediently. "I used to think that it was loyalty, and with such courtiers, I didn't worry that they would betray." Saying that, Zhu Di laughed self-deprecatingly and said, "Thinking about it now, it's really ridiculous." No matter how close the emperor is to his courtiers, can he compare to other people's relatives and friends? If the courtiers can even betray their relatives and friends, how can they finally become the emperor? β
Wang Xianxin said, you have finally figured out this simple truth. However, he definitely didn't mean to laugh at Zhu Di, looking through the history books, most emperors couldn't recognize this until they died - because when they were emperors, their emotional intelligence basically stayed at two or three years old, thinking that the world revolved around them, and they were naturally higher than one qiΔ in everyone's hearts.
To be able to recognize one's own position in the hearts of the people, what a painful realization it is for the emperor who is the only one...... But if you can't understand this, you're basically insulated from Mingjun.
"So grandson, you still have to use courtiers with human taste." Zhu Di educated Zhu Zhanji. "Only when you are kind to him will you talk about feelings, and if you are good to him, he will be grateful. Something that doesn't smell good, let him roll as far as he can! β
"The grandchildren keep it in mind." Zhu Di's words also had a great impact on Zhu Zhanji. Receiving a traditional imperial education since childhood, Zhu Zhanji paid attention to the dark side of people many times, and Zhu Di's words opened a window in his heart and let the sunshine in......
Wang Xian was also determined, he knew that he was doing the right thing. If he followed Zhu Zhanji's previous tricks and desperately cleared up the relationship with Lin San, it would definitely arouse the disgust of Emperor Yongle.
"Wang Xian," Zhu Di's voice brought Wang Xian back to his senses, and he listened to the emperor slowly ask, "What reward do you want?" β
Xu Miaojin ...... Wang Xian almost blurted out these three words, but fortunately, he had not lost his mind, and he reined in the precipice and said: "After all, the minister is wrong, and he doesn't dare to ask for a reward." If you can not be punished, the minister will be satisfied. β
"Hey," Zhu Di waved his hand and said: "You came thousands of miles to save me and my grandson, if you don't reward you, won't it chill people's hearts...... Who will stand up for the emperor in the future? β
"yes." Zhu Zhanji was so happy that he said on the side: "Thunder, rain and dew are all Jun's grace." The emperor wants to reward and punish, and we are all happy to accept it. β
"That's right." Zhu Di nodded and said, "Say, what do you want?" β
"Then the minister said......" Wang Xian gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "The minister asks the emperor to send troops quickly to save the soldiers in Zhenjiang City!" β
As soon as Wang Xian's voice fell, Zhu Zhanji's heart was hot, and he said secretly: "What is human, this is called human." My brother is so ...... It's human. The heart said that I would not be jealous of a dead man...... In fact, Zhu Zhanji's reaction to Lin San's matter was quite Cheng DΓΉ because he felt that Wang Xian had more feelings for Lin San than for himself......
"Is this your reward?" Zhu Di squinted, smiling rather than smiling.
"Yes." Wang Xian nodded, his gaze firm.
