Chapter Thirty: Sejong Resolutely Rejects Yan Song
Facing the swarming Yan Song army, even though it had three heads and six arms, Zheng Yao and others began to feel exhausted. If things continued like this, they would only die of exhaustion, so they had to retreat.
Fortunately, there were Imperial Army guards all the way from the Gate of Supreme Harmony to the Imperial Palace. Seeing the rebels rushing in, they all stepped forward to resist bravely, which gave Zhengyao and others a chance to breathe.
After retreating all the way and pursuing all the way, finally, under the leadership of Zhengyao and Zhou Bing, the remaining people all retreated to the imperial study room, and this was also the last battlefield.
Zhengyao quickly made a simple arrangement and ordered the rest of the people to ambush around him, while the other group of people followed him into the imperial study room.
Since the situation was urgent, Zhengyao didn't waste much time and immediately told Jiajing, Xu Jie, Zhang Juzheng and others about the current situation, and signaled Xu Jie and Zhang Juzheng to lead a team of people to escort Jiajing away from the secret passage.
But what he never expected was that at this juncture, Jiajing actually showed his personality and made it clear that he would never leave.
However, this cannot be blamed on Jiajing. After all, he is also the king of a country. It is a great shame and humiliation to ask his enemy to escape from the secret passage and give up everything he has.
Although Jiajing was not a good emperor, nor did he have any kind of mighty and unyielding spirit, he loved face very much. As an emperor, the only dignity he had could never be thrown away. How could it be lost in the face of the royal family? Didn’t he, Ming Shizong, want to become
The most ridiculous joke in the world? No matter whether he is stupid or capable, he still accepts it, but when it comes to the face of the royal family, he absolutely cannot back down.
Therefore, no matter how earnest Zheng Yao was, or the kind words of Xu Jie and Zhang Juzheng, and even said that they only needed to hide in the secret passage for a while and could come out as soon as reinforcements arrived, Jiajing still remained unmoved.
Move and have a firm attitude that can't be shaken at all.[
Some people may say that Jiajing is stupid. This is completely an extremely stupid approach, but at this moment, Zhengyao felt that this was the first time in history that Jiajing looked like a real emperor.
"Bang!"
Just when Xu Jie and Zhang Juzheng kept persuading Jiajing, suddenly the door of the imperial study room was knocked open. Zhou Bing and a group of guards in royal robes flew in from outside the imperial study room and rushed in. They saw that everyone had more or less blood on their bodies.
The young man had a wound, and immediately, Yan Song led a large group of rebels and rushed in, quickly surrounding Jiajing.
"Yan Song! You are so brave! I usually treat you well, but you dare to start an army and cause chaos. Do you know that this is a capital crime for treason!"
Seeing Yan Song strolling in, Jiajing shouted without anger, and immediately stared at Yan Song with a pair of cold eyes, motionless.
After all, Jiajing was also the emperor, so he had seen many big scenes. Therefore, even though he was surrounded by Yan Song's rebels, his face did not seem to show fear and panic. Compared with Xu Jie's fearful expression, he looked
Extraordinarily calm.
If he wasn't that material, he wouldn't be able to become the emperor. Otherwise, Jiajing might have died at the hands of his other cousins before he even ascended the throne. After all, the battle for the throne is often the most brutal. Even worse than war.
Be cruel.
"Hahahaha. Sejong, oh Sejong, it is really not an exaggeration to say that you are a foolish king. At this time, you are still so self-righteous. Haven't you seen the situation clearly?".
Yan Song laughed wildly for a while and looked at Jiajing with disdain in his eyes. The Jiajing who used to make him nod and bow seemed to have turned into a worthless ordinary person at this moment. If Yan Song wanted to kill him, he would just crush him to death.
As easy as an ant.
Jiajing couldn't help but be stunned, and then sighed: "I didn't expect that the person I have always trusted would betray me. It's really a mistake to feed a tiger, I regret it!"
As he said this, Jiajing couldn't help but shook his head, his face filled with regret and regret.
It has been forty-three years since Jiajing ascended the throne, which means that Yan Song has been in control of the court for more than forty years.
He thought that he had only been addicted to the faith for a while, hoping to find immortality, and Yan Song's poetry deeply impressed him, so he made an exception and entrusted a military attache with important tasks and began to go to court to discuss politics.
From a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy to a prince and a tutor, from the right minister of the Ministry of Rites to the minister of rites, from the minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and finally became the chief minister of the cabinet, he was in power for a while, and he rose to the top step by step, but it was all witnessed by Jiajing. Now, well, Yan Song is now
With my wings full, I actually started to rebel against myself. When I said it, I felt it was quite ironic.
But Yan Song just smiled and said immediately: "You can't blame others for this. You are such a foolish king. Even if I don't oppose you, you still won't be able to sit here for long. In fact, you should also thank me. Without me, I have dedicated myself to my responsibilities all these years."
I help you take care of the government affairs, how can you find the leisure and leisure to pursue immortality?"[
"Huh, yes, I was confused for a moment and appointed you, a cunning and cunning person. Now if you want to rebel against me, you have nothing to say. You can only blame yourself for mistaking the wrong person. But I can tell you, even if you succeed
Even if you usurp the throne, you won't be able to sit on the throne for long. There are many people in the world who are against you! If you are so dishonest and unreasonable, there will be no good results!"
Jiajing gave an angry cold shout, and even though he blamed himself, he did not forget to scold Yan Song, and his words were mostly sarcastic towards Yan Song. It seemed that he was not afraid of Yan Song at all.
This point made Zhengyao secretly admire Jiajing. Now he finally understood why Jiajing ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor. It turned out that he also had his merits. At least, he was not as confused as the rumors said. On the contrary,
It's also relatively transparent.
As Jiajing said, if the name is not right, the words will not be right. If Yan Song usurps the throne so rashly, it will obviously not convince the world, at least the people of the Zhu family will never be convinced. When the time comes, the vassal kings will definitely send troops again.
Maybe the Ming Dynasty will be even more chaotic by then.
If this is the case, then what is the significance of Yan Song's usurped throne?
Although what Jiajing said made sense, Yan Song didn't seem to pay attention to it. Instead, he just shook his head and said: "This is very simple. As long as you hand over the jade seal, and then write a sinner's edict and abdicate the throne to me, I believe it."
No one will have any objections. And you know very well in your heart that you, the emperor, have actually failed. I can guarantee that if you abdicate, the people of the world will celebrate it."
"Asshole! Although I have never interfered with the affairs of the government, I also know that you are searching for people's wealth and support in my name. Do you really think that I don't know anything? Even if the people have complaints against me, it is you.
It was caused by Yan Song’s clever name!”
Jiajing started to get a little angry now, but he didn't say anything. As soon as he mentioned this matter, he became furious. He said it didn't matter if he didn't go to court, and it didn't matter if he said he was mediocre, but he said that he was a slave to the common people. This made the people complain.
He was dissatisfied. Because he had never done anything, so how could he take advantage of the common people?
It's just that only he and Yan Song knew this, and how could the people understand it, so in the end the crime was still pinned on Jiajing's head.
"Hey, look at you, you are not as old as me, how come you feel like a tiger with all its teeth when you get angry? Stop talking nonsense, quickly hand over the jade seal, and write the edict of sin. I will also give you some face,
Leave your body intact."
Yan Song didn't want to say anything more at the moment, so he walked up directly and began to threaten Jiajing.
Although it is a master-servant relationship, at this point, there is no longer any humaneness to talk about. On the contrary, talking about it will only appear to be very hypocritical.
"You are delusional!"
Jiajing's attitude was very decisive and he immediately rejected Yan Song's request without thinking.
"Haha, am I delusional? Shizong. Don't say I didn't give you a chance. If you remain stubborn, you will definitely regret your wrong decision!"
Yan Song licked the corner of his mouth and spoke again with a threatening tone. This time, his tone was much stronger than before, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent.
No one will deny that Yan Song's words are true. With Yan Song's personality, this is by no means alarmist. Moreover, he does have that strength now. This is an indisputable fact.
Whether it's threatening or clamoring, where is the ability, who can do anything to him?
"Hahahaha!" Jiajing still laughed indifferently. Facing Yan Song's intimidation, he had no intention of compromise. He immediately took two steps towards Yan Song, then poked Yan Song's chest with his finger and said, "I regret it."
?I have already said that I really regret it. If you want me to regret it again, that’s fine. Anyway, if you want me to compromise with you, a traitor, that is just a delusion!"
No one had ever imagined that Jiajing would have such a side. I really don’t know if he was brave enough to risk everything. Not only did he use his words, but he also used his hands. He also stabbed Yan Song in the chest. Zheng Yao was standing beside him.
I was also shocked by it.
However, Yan Song did not make any move to fight back because of Jiajing's move. Instead, a burst of blood rushed to his face, eyes wide open, and an angry look like that violent tiger that wanted to bite Jiajing to death.
Seeing this, Xu Jie and Zhang Juzheng immediately stretched out their hands to pull Jiajing back, fearing that Yan Song would hurt Jiajing, but Zhengyao was unmoved because he knew that if Yan Song wanted to take action, he would have already done so when he entered the door.
Perhaps Yan Song just wanted Jiajing to write the edict of sin and abdication for himself at the moment, as well as the crucial jade seal to pass down the country. Because if he didn't get these three things, it would be impossible for Yan Song to sit firmly on the throne.
Of course, it is not difficult to see from this aspect that Jiajing is also outstanding. Because he is sure that Yan Song just wants those three things, but he just doesn't take them out. In this way, Yan Song really has nothing to do with him for a while.
"Hmph! Don't toast or eat as a penalty! I can tell you that my patience is limited! If you don't hand over these three things, I will immediately order a bloodbath in the palace! By then, your concubines, your princess, your
Prince, everyone will die!"
Insidiousness and viciousness are Yan Song's usual tactics, and this is also the best way to deal with enemies. If you even dismiss this threat, it can only be said that the value of this person's survival in the world is zero, and there is no point in using it. .
"You...you dare!"
Jiajing has begun to panic. Although he behaves very lustfully and romantically often, after all, he is still a good husband and a good father, especially to Concubine Shen and Ning An. If these two most important people fall into Yan Song's hands, In his hands, he might really compromise.
"Why don't I dare? Don't forget, you are all prisoners now. If you don't agree, I will ask them to rape and then kill all the women in the palace. I will tell you what the palace will look like by then. I can’t imagine it!”
"Beast! If you dare to act recklessly, I...I will never spare you!"
Seeing Yan Song getting more outrageous and excited as he talked, Jiajing became even more excited. He glared at Yan Song angrily, bared his teeth, and wanted to bite Yan Song to death.
Damn it, it's so damnable, he even thought of using this method to force himself to submit. This Yan Song is really not a human being. Jiajing kept cursing in his heart, but he was very helpless.
And Zhengyao finally understood what it means to do whatever it takes and what it means to do whatever it takes. It is said that no harm comes to the family, but Yan Song didn't even spare others who were not family members. It's really hard to imagine what kind of cold-blooded existence Yan Song is. !
Perhaps all this was due to the deaths of Yan Shifan and Yan Hao. Now Yan Song has lost his humanity.
"Haha! Won't you spare me? Hunjun, don't you see the current situation clearly?".
Yan Song's lips were filled with smiles, and he swept his surroundings proudly, as if everything was under his applause.
"Hahahaha, Yan Song, do you really think you understand the situation clearly?".
