The rise of the poor

Chapter 386 The Curve Saves Shen
The sky was bright, and the warm sunlight poured into the rippling Taiye Pool. A small boat in the Taiye Pool slowly approached the shore with Zhu Pingan on board.

After arriving at the shore, Zhu Ping'an got off the boat, stood beside the Taiye Pool, and thanked the maids and eunuchs who were punting the boat.

Emperor Jiajing went to the Guanghan Hall built on the small island in Taiye Pool after he came down from court, and that is where Zhu Pingan was summoned.Because the Guanghan Hall was built on a small island in the middle of the lake, only a boat can reach the hall, so Zhu Ping'an came to visit Emperor Jiajing in this small boat.

There was a little eunuch who had been waiting on the shore of the small island in the middle of the lake where the Guanghan Palace was located. This little eunuch was also an acquaintance to Zhu Ping'an, Feng Bao and Eunuch Feng.Eunuch Feng and Zhu Pingan greeted each other with a smile on his face. On the way to lead Zhu Pingan to Guanghan Hall, he reminded Zhu Pingan in a low voice, saying that His Majesty is in a bad mood today, and Zhu Pingan should be careful when he meets the saint.

In fact, without Feng Bao's reminder, Zhu Pingan also knew that Emperor Jiajing was in a bad mood today. After all, Zhu Pingan witnessed Emperor Jiajing go berserk.

However, Feng Bao took the initiative to show his favor, and Zhu Pingan would not miss this opportunity in vain.

"Thank you, Eunuch Feng, for reminding me."

Zhu Pingan cupped his hands in thanks, and then slipped a small bank note into Feng Bao's sleeve without any trace.Feng Bao declined in a low voice for a moment, then accepted.

Under the guidance of Feng Bao, Zhu Ping'an entered Guanghan Palace, Feng Bao stopped and another eunuch led Zhu Ping'an into the palace where Emperor Jiajing had a rest.At this time, Emperor Jiajing was sitting cross-legged on the bed in a meditation posture, still looking at the memorial presented by Shen Lian in his hand, his face was full of anger, and a large part of his wide dragon robe was hanging on the ground.

"I greet my emperor, long live my emperor." Zhu Pingan, led by the little eunuch into the main hall, knelt down and saluted Emperor Jiajing who was sitting on the dragon couch.

"Excuse me, Aiqing is flat." Emperor Jiajing nodded and motioned Zhu Pingan to stand up.The hall is very large, and the Longta where Emperor Jiajing is located is some distance away from where Zhu Ping'an is standing. It is a bit difficult to speak from such a large distance.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhu Ping stood up and thanked him.

Emperor Jiajing's anger has not subsided at this moment, and Shen Lian's letter made Emperor Jiajing's anger hard to dissipate. As long as he thought of the content of Shen Lian's letter, Emperor Jiajing would not be angry.

Emperor Jiajing ascended the throne when he was weak. You must know that Emperor Jiajing was only the son of a local king at that time. The civil and military ministers headed by Yang Tinghe made it difficult for Emperor Jiajing, but in the end, Emperor Jiajing was superior, perfectly controlling the government and governing the Ming Dynasty in an orderly manner. Therefore, Emperor Jiajing often compares himself to the best in history in terms of martial arts and martial arts, and is complacent.

However, Shen Lian did not expect that when Shen Lian wrote the letter, he compared himself to Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty. In Jiajing's eyes, this memorial was not so much an impeachment of Yan Song as a humiliation of himself. How could Emperor Jiajing appease his anger.

However, Emperor Jiajing's punishment today was far beyond Zhu Pingan's expectations.

Tingzhang, and then put in prison, choose another day to be punished!

What does Ming Zheng Dian mean?Ming means to express; it means to punish a crime; Dian Xing means the law, and the combination of these four characters means to impose capital punishment according to the law.This idiom is mostly used in official documents or notices of execution of prisoners.

This means that when the court finished defeating Shen Lian's imperial staff, they had to choose an auspicious day to execute Shen Lian!
This is inconsistent with Zhu Pingan's own history. In history, Emperor Jiajing just hit Shen Lian's court staff and sent him to the border. Why is he going to kill Shen Lian now?

It doesn't matter whether Shen Lian is impulsive or irrational, but it is undeniable that Shen Lian is a good person, his starting point is good, and his purpose is also good.

Seeing such a good official die, Zhu Pingan couldn't help it.

It just so happened that I had such an opportunity to face the saint, so I must seize it well, Zhu Pingan thought secretly.

"Aiqing, why don't you come here?" Emperor Jiajing looked at Zhu Ping'an in a daze, and couldn't help but put down the memorial and asked in a deep voice.

Only then did Zhu Pingan realize that Emperor Jiajing had indeed signaled him to speak up just now, but because he was thinking about Shen Lian, his mind was a little distracted.How to say, what excuses to use, Emperor Jiajing is a narrow-minded person, especially when he is angry now, if he doesn't answer well, not only will he lose his good impression of Emperor Jiajing before, but he may also lose his good impression in Jiajing. This leaves a bad impression.

In this era of feudal imperial power, the emperor's likes and dislikes are related to your future, so you must be cautious.

In this flash of lightning, Zhu Pingan suddenly caught a glimpse of Emperor Jiajing's dragon robe hanging on the ground. A story about the imperial doctor's visit to Jiajing, which was passed down in unofficial history, came to Zhu Pingan's mind. The imperial doctor saw Emperor Jiajing hanging on the ground. When wearing the dragon robe, he said something that made Emperor Jiajing happy. This story happened in the last years of Jiajing. It has not happened yet, but the occasion is quite similar.

It's hard to tell others, but it's really suitable for someone as fastidious as Jiajing.

With a firm mind, Zhu Pingan saluted Emperor Jiajing calmly and said, "Your Majesty's dragon robe is on the ground, and I dare not approach him."

Your majesty's dragon robe is on the ground, and the minister dare not approach.The seemingly simple sentence scratched the itch in Emperor Jiajing's heart.

The dragon robe was hanging on the ground, Zhu Ping'an's words showed his loyalty to me.Explain on the ground that I am a human being; if I say that I am underground, then I am not a ghost.Emperor Jiajing's anger because of Shen Lian's letter disappeared two or three points after Zhu Pingan's words.

The difference between the ground and the ground is a huge difference in Emperor Jiajing's heart.

Emperor Jiajing pulled up the dragon robe hanging on the ground with his hands, put it on the dragon couch, and signaled Zhu Pingan to come forward and answer.

After saluting, Zhu Ping walked up to Emperor Jiajing.

"Look, what do you think?"

Emperor Jiajing gently threw the memorial in his hand into Zhu Ping'an's hand, and asked in a calm voice.

Zhu Pingan took the memorial with both hands, confessed his guilt to Emperor Jiajing, and then looked at it seriously. Of course, this was just a careful look on the surface, but in his heart he was thinking about how to reply to Emperor Jiajing.Emperor Jiajing was preconceived at the moment, obviously venting his anger on Shen Lian. If he pleaded for Shen Lian, or even helped Shen Lian to speak, not only would he not be able to save Shen Lian, but it would aggravate Shen Lian's tragedy, and it would also make Shen Lian feel sad. Emperor Jiajing's anger implicated himself.

"How?" A few minutes later, Emperor Jiajing looked directly at Zhu Ping'an and asked.

"Excuse me, to be blunt, this performance has its superficiality." Zhu Pingan bowed his hands and saluted, and replied.

"Oh?" Emperor Jiajing's eyes flickered, examining Zhu Ping'an.

"The ten serious crimes are based on words alone. There is no physical evidence, no witnesses, and no corroborating evidence. Therefore, I bluntly said that there are falsehoods." Zhu Pingan replied calmly under the scrutiny of Emperor Jiajing.

"Yeah." Jiajing nodded when he heard the words, a little anger appeared on his face, "This kind of villain doesn't want to serve the country, but he engages in these tricks of framing people, damn it!"

"I heard that this person bought a coffin and put it at home before he wrote the letter."

At the end, Zhu Ping'an said something lightly, extinguishing the anger in Emperor Jiajing's heart.Alright, I bought the coffin in advance, this guy Shen Lian didn't want to live this time, this guy Shen Lian wants to die for fame, but I just can't satisfy him!
