The mystery of Yang Jinshui's madness.
Chen Hong, the eunuch of the palm seal, was eager to take over the position of the master of ceremonies, and he regarded Yang Jinshui as a key figure in this goal. Rumors spread in the palace that Yang Jinshui had become insane for some reason. Chen Hong was suspicious and decided to test it secretly. He quietly manipulated the medical officers and internal supervisors in the palace, constantly testing Yang Jinshui's state, trying to find out the truth of the madness.
In the Yuxi Palace, two brocade guards escorted Yang Jinshui into Beijing. At this time, they were kneeling in front of Emperor Jiajing, answering the emperor's doubts. "Long live the lord, according to our observation, Yang Jinshui is indeed in poor condition, and often has reversed speech and strange behavior. "
Emperor Jiajing frowned and expressed disdain for Chen Hong's temptation. "Yang Jinshui was sent by you, do you think he is really crazy or fake crazy? Jin Yiwei hesitated for a moment, and finally chose a more credible witness. "Long live the lord, not only the minions, but also Zhao Zhongcheng and they also see it, Yang Jinshui is indeed crazy. ”
Emperor Jiajing's eyes were blank after hearing this, and his heart was full of doubts. Jin Yiwei continued: "Long live Lord, the ministers and others also discussed it on the way to send him to Beijing, and they were worried that he was carrying unclean things, so it was recommended that the imperial doctor in the palace first diagnose him. ”
Emperor Jiajing's eyes lit up, and he already had a conclusion in his heart. He knew very well that Yang Jinshui was a smart person, and if he pretended to be crazy and stupid, he must have ulterior motives. Especially when he's crazy enough to be so targeted, it's clear that he wants to get his attention.
So, Emperor Jiajing decisively ordered: "Bring Yang Jinshui immediately!" I want to see what kind of monster he hides! "It doesn't matter whether it's true or not, what matters is the secret behind Yang Jinshui. The Mystery of Yang Jinshui: The Mystery of Emperor Jiajing and Pretending to Be Crazy.
In the Yuxi Palace, the air seemed to be frozen. Yang Jinshui, a figure who has attracted the attention of the world and is full of mysteries, sits there quietly. His eyes were hollow, his face was demented, and his whole person exuded a strange aura. Emperor Jiajing sat on the high hall, his eyes were like torches, staring at Yang Jinshui tightly, and he couldn't help but wonder in his heart: Why is this? Why did Yang Jinshui pretend to be crazy?
Emperor Jiajing's doubts were not unfounded. He had personally ordered Yang Jinshui to be brought in, wanting to learn some important news from him. However, Yang Jinshui's performance surprised him. He was slurred and demented, not at all like the shrewd and capable Yang Jinshui on weekdays. This kind of Yang Jinshui made Emperor Jiajing even more sure: he was not crazy, he was just pretending to be crazy.
Emperor Jiajing's heart was full of doubts, and he decided to do it. He began to ask, "Do you see the tablet?" Yang Jinshui only showed a demented smile, and replied vaguely: "God! Such an answer is undoubtedly telling Emperor Jiajing: He has seen it, he has seen Emperor Jiajing, and he has seen his power and majesty.
Emperor Jiajing continued to ask: "Who did you see?" Yang Jinshui just smiled stupidly, and spit out vague words in his mouth again: "Feiyuan Zhenjun", "Emperor Zhongxiao", "Emperor Wanshou". These three words are very familiar to Emperor Jiajing, and they are the Taoist names he once sealed. Yang Jinshui's answer was undoubtedly telling Emperor Jiajing: he had not forgotten, he remembered everything that Emperor Jiajing had.
In the face of such Yang Jinshui, Emperor Jiajing's heart was even more suspicious. He had to figure out: Why did Yang Jinshui pretend to be crazy? What exactly is his purpose? He pressed again, "Who are you?" However, Yang Jinshui's answer was: ""Guangling San", I am "Guangling San". Such an answer made Emperor Jiajing confused, and he was not clear about the relationship between "Guangling San" and Yang Jinshui and Shen Yishi.
However, Yang Jinshui continued to explain: "My piano. I am Shen Yishi, and I am wronged. Such an answer is undoubtedly telling Emperor Jiajing: The reason why he pretended to be crazy was because he had grievances. And this grievance is closely related to Shen Yishi. At this point, Emperor Jiajing finally understood: it turned out that behind Yang Jinshui's pretending to be crazy, there was a bigger secret.
Yang Jinshui continued: "Father-in-law Yang brought me here, and I was harmed by Yang Jinshui. Such an answer is undoubtedly telling Emperor Jiajing: His pretending to be crazy is related to Yang Gonggong, and he was killed by Yang Jinshui. At this moment, Emperor Jiajing's doubts and doubts in his heart had reached their peak.
As the dialogue with Yang Jinshui deepened, the doubts in Emperor Jiajing's heart gradually dissipated. He finally understood: Yang Jinshui was not crazy, he was just pretending to be crazy. And the reason why he is pretending to be crazy is to hide a bigger secret. And this secret will undoubtedly lead Emperor Jiajing to a new direction. Yang Jinshui took a deep breath, looked at Emperor Jiajing with a firm look, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I am Shen Yishi."
I appeared in this way to expose the inside story of Zhejiang's greed for ink and present the truth in front of you. He paused for a moment, as if sorting out his thoughts, and then said, "I pretended to be crazy in order to survive, so that I could bring Shen Yishi's situation to the capital. In this crazy world, only by pretending to be crazy can people believe that I am really crazy, so that it is possible to live. I want to tell you what happened in Zhejiang. ”
Emperor Jiajing stared at Yang Jinshui closely, and his sharp gaze seemed to penetrate his heart: "Yang Jinshui, how did you harm you?" He asked.
Yang Jin replied quietly: "Your Majesty, he wants me to weave silk, a large amount of silk. The corners of his mouth raised slightly, with a hint of self-deprecation, "Over the years, our Jiangnan Weaving Bureau has done such a thing, constantly weaving silk and paying tribute to the palace." ”
How does weaving silk hurt you? Emperor Jiajing asked puzzled.
Yang Jinshui smiled bitterly: "It's too much, Your Majesty." The silk that is woven is not even enough for us to wear. There is so much silk, the emperor can't wear it, and the people can't wear it. His voice was sad, "Not all of the silk of our weaving bureau has been paid tribute to the palace. Some of them were coveted by others. ”
Emperor Jiajing tightly clenched the account books on the imperial case and Hai Rui's case file, his face pale. He didn't expect that the money in his palace would be coveted by others. And this other person turned out to be his own courtier! He tried hard to suppress his anger and asked in a deep voice: "All these silks have gone to **?" Say it, Feiyuan Zhenjun, Emperor Zhongxiao, Emperor Wanshou, and Emperor Wanshou will forgive you for your innocence. ”
Yang Jinshui took a deep breath: "Shangyi Supervisor, Scarf and Hat Bureau, and Needlework Bureau ......."He enumerated the functions of the Yamen who were greedy for ink and silk one by one, but when he saw that Emperor Jiajing's face was gloomy, he knew that he was not satisfied with it. So, he continued: "Zheng Michang, He Maocai, Yan Ge Lao, Xiao Ge Lao ......They all wore my silk and used my money. ”
Emperor Jiajing stared at him tightly: "What about Hu Zongxian?" Was he involved too? ”
Yang Jinshui replied without hesitation: "Your Majesty, Hu Zongxian is not a person from the Weaving Bureau. But he has nothing to do with Zhejiang's case. "In the whirlpool of the Zhejiang ink corruption case, Hu Zongxian is an innocent bystander, and he absolutely does not want to have anything to do with the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau. At this moment, Emperor Jiajing's eyes turned to another person, that is, Lu Fang, who was supervising the repair of the imperial mausoleum, the top boss of the "Jiangnan Weaving Bureau", and the eunuch who was also the eunuch of the master of ceremonies, and Yang Jinshui's godfather.
What about Lu Fang? Did he be greedy for Mo Zhen's money? Emperor Jiajing asked.
For Yang Jinshui, Lu Fang is a tricky existence. It is necessary to clear up the relationship, but also not to reveal the intention of cover-up. So, Yang Jinshui came up with a crazy sentence: "Who is Lu Fang?" These words may imply that he does not know Lu Fang, that is, Lu Fang is not involved. However, when these words fell on the ears of Emperor Jiajing, they had another meaning: Who is Lu Fang? He has been with me for forty years, whether it is thunder or rain and dew, he is a loyal slave who is closely related to me, how can you doubt him!
However, Emperor Jiajing knew that Yang Jinshui was most likely shielding Lu Fang. So, he chased after him: "Yang Jinshui, the ancestor they said, invite you to wear the six pins." This has two meanings: 1) Lu Fang once asked Shen Yishi to wear six tops, will Shen Yishi know Lu Fang? 2) Although Lu Fang has served me for 40 years and is loyal, he has asked Shen Yishi to wear six products, how can there be no exchange of interests between the two?
Yang Jinshui said: "There is a ...... for him."There is ...... himHe died a hundred years ago ......"How long ago was that, and what does it have to do with this Zhejiang ink corruption case? Lu Fang was not involved.
At this point, everyone has been cleared, but Yang Jinshui himself is still under suspicion. Emperor Jiajing got close to Yang Jinshui and asked bluntly: "You said so many people, why don't you say Yang Jinshui!" The current situation is obvious, although Emperor Jiajing knew that Yang Jinshui was pretending to be crazy and stupid, he followed Yang Jinshui's crazy words and asked. This shows that Emperor Jiajing was quite satisfied with Yang Jinshui's strategy of "pretending to be crazy to save his life and protect the emperor's son".
Looking at the entire Zhejiang ink corruption case, if Yang Jinshui dies easily, Lu Fang will become the target of public criticism, and then Emperor Jiajing will also be involved. According to Comrade Hai Rui's usual practice, he really dared to rush directly to the Yuxi Palace to try the case. At this time, Yang Jinshui can only survive in this game of power by continuing to pretend to be crazy and stupid.
Yang Jinshui, a little person forgotten by history, carried the rise and fall of the Ming Dynasty. On that day, he was forced to go to the pinnacle of the Ming law, for a justice that no one understood. Yang Jinshui can't die, he can only pretend to be crazy. His madness is not out of nowhere, but a desperate cry for the cold of the world. Lu Fang, the shadow of Emperor Jiajing, was preserved because of Yang Jinshui's decision. And Yang Jinshui, who was once shrewd and capable, can only find a moment of peace in his madness.
Yang Jinshui also died. He killed me, and I've taken him with ......This is his cry, but also his helplessness. What was once a wise man can now only find a glimmer of clarity in the chaos. Emperor Jiajing, a lonely watchman, faced with Yang Jinshui's predicament, he knew in his heart that this was an unavoidable problem.
Loyal and filial piety emperor spares his life! Longevity Emperor spares his life! I didn't dare to come, I left immediately, I didn't dare to come again......This is Yang Jinshui's kowtow thanks, and it is also his helpless acceptance of fate. He's not bad, he's just been pushed into a vortex from which he can't escape.
Emperor Jiajing's chime sounded, like a lightning bolt in the night, illuminating Yang Jinshui's crazy face. Huang Jin rushed in and shouted eagerly, they all knew that this was the last straw.
Fast! Go in and save the driver! "This is not just an order, but also a worry about Yang Jinshui's future. Because at this moment, they all understood that Yang Jinshui was no longer Yang Jinshui, but a symbol of the Ming Dynasty, a symbol that carried countless secrets and history.
Emperor Jiajing's final closing speech was his verdict on Yang Jinshui's fate. "Yang Jinshui was robbed of his soul by a powerful ghost......It's a lie, but it's also a cruel reality. No one can try again, can't try again, because Yang Jinshui is really crazy. His madness has become an eternal mystery in the Ming Dynasty.
