Chapter 649 Weakness
Zhengde frowned and said nothing. During this period, there have been a lot of dangerous remarks about Song Nan in his ears. Empress Dowager Zhang's words were serious, Yang Ting's analysis and incisive, and all people analyzed Song Nan's behavior to Zhengde; raised the matter of Song Nan and the princess to a height of unscrupulous contempt for imperial power, and All this really made Zhengde extremely angry and panicked.
Although Zhengde is a sloppy emperor and a political semi-idiot, or if he is not with the blood of Emperor Hongzhi, he is actually only suitable to be a dander in a rich family and enjoy his life.
But since he sat on the throne and took charge of the country, he has done all the absurd and stubborn things, and some wayward things are also happy to do. However, as an emperor, like all emperors from ancient times to the present, imperial power is his bottom line. Whoever dares to threaten his throne will dare to despise it. He will not hesitate to kill his imperial power.
This is an almost innate instinct, and it is also the result of the indoctrination of the lecturers of the former emperor and Empress Dowager Zhang from childhood. He is the son of heaven.
Since Zhengde's accession to the throne, a lot of big things have happened, several of which have come to subvert his throne, and Zhengde has dealt with some things without mercy; Liu Liu and Liu Qi are violent. After the chaos, although the court had said that it was not to blame the thief's surrender, in fact, after tens of thousands of thieves surrendered, nearly 300,000 of them and their families were demoted, and tens of thousands of them were killed on the street. The fact that people are rolling is to tell the world that whoever dares to think will die.
The same is true of King Qing. Almost all the males involved in King Anhua were executed. If it hadn't been for Song Nan's merits, Qingding King, who obviously would have lost his little head. The reason is the same. It is a deterrent to warn people all over the world that they can't move.
Although Zhengde had great doubts about Liu Jin's matter, he still dealt with it decisively and killed Liu Jin with a clear attitude. Now there is Song Nan. Although this person is not a conspiracy, his behavior has touched the bottom line, and it is not an excessive to call it a contempt of imperial power.
However, Zhengde has an extremely complex emotion towards Song Nan. Zhengde is nostalgic and Zhengde is affectionate. Zhengde is actually a good man. As long as he does not touch the bottom line, Zhengde will never consider what to do to Song Nan. For Zhengde, he has had a special sense of closeness since the day he ascended the throne. As Song Nan dealt with crises for Zhengde again and again, this sense of closeness rose to a sense of dependence. It seemed that as long as Song Nan was there, she could rest assured.
That's why, after this incident, Zhengde's anger and panic were unprecedented, no less than the disappointment on the day he found the dragon robe from Liu Jin's house. In his heart, he has always wanted to know the real purpose of Song Nan's boldness, whether he really despised himself, had other intentions, or some other hidden things in his heart. The affair between Kangning and Song Nan is actually secondary. Zhengde wants to know whether Song Nan is so presumptuous because of his different aspirations.
If you want to figure out all this, it is not an imperial edict and an imperial edict that can solve it. The military power in his hands has become the most worrying thing, and Zhengde will never want to make things worse.
However, tonight, Song Nan came to the palace with a roast duck to see him, recalled the past, confessed everything in a few words, and asked for resignation, Zheng De suddenly felt that his suspicion of Song Nan was too trivial?
Song Nan did not have a word of defense from beginning to end, and there was no word of excuse for the matter between him and Princess Corning. He just couldn't help making a big mistake. Thinking of the entanglement between Kangning and Song Nan before, Zhengde even suspected that Song Nan was entangled by his wayward royal sister and could not escape; at that time, the royal sister and Song Nan There was a period of marriage. Later, the royal sister suddenly announced that she was not satisfied with Song Nan, but then she was seriously ill. It was not until Song Nan went to see her that she survived. There must have been a mixed entanglement between the two since then.
What Zhengde was most worried about was actually the military power in Song Nan's hands, but Song Nan said that he would hand over all the military power and even expressed his willingness for the whole family to be killed, Zhengde immediately doubted the Empress Dowager and Yang Ting and their long words. They said that Song Nan would not give up his military power and asked Xu Tuzhi to avoid causing Song Nan's rebellion, but from the current situation, Song Nan is not what they said.
Zhengde has been silent for a long time. He doesn't know what kind of decision he should make. He doesn't want Song Nan to be another intimate person who leaves him, so that there is no one around him who can tell the truth; but he can't make a decision on this matter, and Song Nan can't but be punished. His behavior In fact, it is not wrong to kill the whole door.
Song Nan slowly took off his hat, slowly took off his official uniform, and released all the signs symbolizing power and status on his body. Together with the three official seals, he put them on the case and whispered, "The emperor doesn't have to be embarrassed. The emperor will never forget his ministers, but this time I did make a big mistake, and I am willing to accept all the punishments. Penalty. I still said the same thing. After punishing me, this matter will stop and don't damage the princess's reputation.
Zhengde still said nothing and squinted at the things on the case.
"The emperor gives me a good time. I know that it is difficult for the emperor to make a decision on his old feelings, but the emperor thinks about the overall situation. If the emperor does not punish me, I'm afraid that someone will refuse to rest."
This sentence came to Zheng De's heart. Just now, Yang Tinghe came to see him and said this, and almost every day the Empress Dowager has to tell herself about this matter. It is absolutely impossible not to punish Song Nan, but it is even more impossible to kill Song Nan. Once Zhengde is sure that Song Nan does not have any so-called different aspirations, it is not successful. He despised himself, but made a mistake that he couldn't kill Song Nan. The person in front of him was the person who helped him many times and was also a person he called a friend in private. He now stood in front of him and handed over all the power to ask for punishment. Zhengde's anger and burden in his heart My heart is disappearing little by little.
"Song Nan, in any case, you made a big mistake this time, of course I will punish you heavily. I ask you, how do you plan to deal with the relationship with the royal sister? Is Princess Shuyi going to marry the queen sister, or what are you going to do?
Song Nan whispered, "Princess Shuyi is not at all. I can't do this."
"Okay, from today on, you are not allowed to meet the imperial sister again. I will immediately look for someone to choose a son-in-law for the imperial sister. You must not interfere with it. If you dare to do it again, I will kill your whole family." Zhengdesen said.
Song Nan was speechless and could only nod and promise.
"You have made contributions to the court, and I also remember those things, but I can't condone you to come. The position of admiral of your second army and the admiral of the Shenshu camp will be removed. Do you understand what I mean?"
"Thank you, Emperor Longen, I understand." Of course, Song Nan understood what Zhengde meant. Retaining the position of commander of Jinyiwei to show that Zhengde still trusted him and exempt him from the position of commander of the foreign army and the admiral of Shenshu battalion not only ease Zhengde's worries, but also to block other people's mouths. Only by making huge concessions can they calm them down.
"This matter can't be too publicized, your reason for dismissal..."
"I will report to the court tomorrow morning, saying that I can't take care of the military affairs of the foreign army and the Shenshu camp, and I will resign." Song Nan said in a hurry.
Zhengde nodded slowly and said, "Okay, let's do it." Give me a bowl of duck soup, and I'm a little thirsty.
Song Nan came forward and served a bowl of duck rack soup slowly boiled into milky white. Zhengde lay on the desk and snore without raising his head.
Song Nan stood aside and sweated coldly on the spine behind him. He knew that today's retreat was a successful strategy, but the price paid was also huge. Almost when he returned to before liberation, the two battalions in his hand were lost.
However, Song Nan was happy that this matter did not affect Zhengde's trust in himself. Judging from Zhengde's performance, he would not have punished himself so severely if it hadn't been for blocking someone's mouth. And all this is caused by someone who broke through the relationship between himself and Corning. This time, the Empress Dowager and Yang Tinhe joined hands to make trouble for themselves. It's already a good ending to survive.
Song Nan secretly decided that after this incident, she needed to keep a low profile for a period of time. The green mountains left were not afraid of anything, and these people who dealt with her could not be let go of in the future.
