Chapter 540: Seeking Wealth and Danger

()

Before Yang Rong could answer, he heard Jin Youzi say: "In today's situation, the only way to welcome back the prince is to do his best, even if the emperor is unwell, the court has a way to deal with it, and we can be regarded as worthy of the first emperor and the people of the world." “

Yang Pu hummed lightly and said: "Yes, now that the Ming Dynasty is under the governance of the emperor, it is slowly recovering, and the people can live and work in peace and contentment, but they can no longer afford to toss, and the stability of the court is the most important, therefore, this person must be cautious, if he is not careful, we will be sinners through the ages?

Everyone was silent for a while, although Yang Pu's words were a little heavier, but it was indeed like that, so no one refuted it.

After a while, Yang Rong suddenly raised his head and said, "What do the three adults think of Wang Zhen?"

The three of them glanced at each other, and some didn't understand what Yang Rong meant, but Wang Zhen knew all three of them, these days, the recitals approved by the emperor were sent to the cabinet by him, this person was a little familiar with the scriptures, and later became an instructor, but the road to glory was too difficult for him to be promoted and admitted to the jinshi. So he castrated himself into the palace, Yang Pu was extremely contemptuous of this, most of the eunuchs were because their families were poor and could not support themselves, so they were not allowed to be eunuchs, and this Wang Zhenming was a little familiar with the scriptures, and he was a gentleman who was an instructor, just because he could not take the exam, Jinshi, he castrated himself into the palace, in his opinion, this person is not small to his parents, unfaithful to his wife, and is a scholar in vain, so he has no good impression of this person.

Huang Huai and Jin Youzi have a good impression of this eunuch, which is mainly due to Wang Zhen's appearance these days, to the four cabinet ministers, all kinds of courtesy, respectful, unlike the big eunuch Haitao, Chen Wu and other eunuchs, relying on the emperor, the prince's favor, on weekdays, not to put these ministers in their eyes, compared with those two, this little eunuch named Wang Zhen, not only has a respectful attitude, but also knows how to write and hyphenation, and speaks very well on weekdays, so it quickly aroused the good impression of the two.

Huang Huai glanced at Yang Rong and said, "Mian Ren doesn't want this eunuch to go to Nanjing to welcome the prince back to Beijing?"

As soon as these words came out, Yang Pu and Jin Youzi each looked at each other, Yang Pu was the most positive among the three, and it was precisely because of this, when Zhu Gaochi, the crown prince, was the prince to wash the horse, he dared to speak out, and offended the king of Han, so that he would attract the threat of the Han king Zhu Gaochu to seize the heir, and was once imprisoned for this struggle to seize the heir.

In the leap September of the twelfth year of Yongle, Chengzu returned to the north to return to the division, the prince Zhu Gaochi sent an envoy to meet a little late, and Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han, took the opportunity to enter the army, and Chengzu was angry, and ordered all the officials and subordinates of the East Palace to be arrested and imprisoned. This became the second major incident in the dispute over the establishment of the prince after Xie Jin was imprisoned. At that time, only Jin Zhong, the secretary of the military department and the Zhan Shifu, was fortunate not to be troubled because he was an old man who was the ancestor of Chengzu and "Jing Nan". Jin Zhong is a person who dares to speak up, he didn't care about angering Chengzu, and used his life to protect the prince, so that the prince was not deposed, but Yang Pu, Huang Huai and others, who were palace officials in the East Palace, were imprisoned because of this incident, and the family lasted for ten years. Yang Pu's release from prison was ten years later, on the fifth day of the eighth month of the 22nd year of Yongle, that is, the fourth day when the crown prince Zhu Gaochi received the edict of Chengzu.

It is said that for the prince to be imprisoned for ten years, how can the prince be reused when he ascends the throne, but I don't know if Zhu Gaochi doesn't know Yang Pu, or thinks that this person is just a passionate person, in short, after Zhu Gaochi ascended the throne, he did not entrust this courtier who was affected by himself and suffered ten years in prison like Yang Shiqi, Yang Rong, and Xia Yuanji, but only established an institution called Hongwenge in Sishanmen, and selected ministers to "have learned to serve on duty". This arrangement is really inexplicable. Those who were recommended to the cabinet were all nameless Confucian scholars, while Yang Pu was ordered to take charge of the cabinet affairs and was given the pavilion seal. With such an arrangement, ordinary people have long been a little angry, but Yang Pu not only did not feel half angry, but also felt that it should be like this, and did his duty to do his own work, until some time ago, Zhu Gaochi said to Yang Pu: "I use Qing to be around, not to stop learning." If you want to know the civil affairs widely, you will be assisted in governing the road. There is a white idea, and the knowledge is advanced. "The official is too Changqing, and he is still in charge of Hongwen Pavilion. Within a few months, he was awarded three positions in a row and was reused.

Even now in a high position, Yang Pu's temperament has not changed at all, and at this time, when he heard that Yang Rong intended to let a eunuch go to Nanjing to meet the prince, he immediately expressed his dissatisfaction.

Yang Pu said in a deep voice: "Since the founding of Taizu, our dynasty has stipulated that eunuchs are not allowed to read and write, and the iron plate is placed at the palace gate, stipulating that "the ministers shall not interfere in political affairs, and those who are predestined will be beheaded, after the Jingjing, although Emperor Wen has promoted many eunuchs who have contributed to the Jingnan, but rarely interferes in the government affairs, and now you are doing this, are you not afraid of attracting criticism?"

Huang Huai and Jin Youzi each glanced at each other, nodded slightly, and said, "This matter is a big matter, and it needs to be discussed in the long run?"

Yang Rong frowned, and said unhappily: "How is the emperor's body, I don't need to say more, you also know, now the king of Han is eyeing the tiger, and the king of Zhao is even more peeping, a little careless, how the consequences are not need me to say, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, the king of Han and the king of Zhao have many acquaintances, but this Wang Zhenxin has not been in the palace for a long time, and he is also very clever, let him go out of the palace and rush to Nanjing, first, a new eunuch will not attract attention, and second, it is good to rush to Nanjing to report to the prince, this move can be described as killing two birds with one stone?"

Yang Pu and Yang Rong are both Jianwen two-year jinshi and are both taught to edit, but their career experiences are very different. Yang Rong was later inducted into the cabinet and continued to follow Chengzu to the north and became a close minister of the Yongle Dynasty. Yang Pu became a bureaucrat around the prince because he was selected to serve the prince Zhu Gaochi as a horse washer, and was also threatened by the Han King Zhu Gaochu to seize the heir, and was once imprisoned for this struggle for the heir. It is said that the two are in different circumstances, and they are somewhat mustard, but not only do the two not have mustard, but appreciate each other.

Yang Rong admired Yang Pu's worries about the country and forgetting himself, not saying anything, and being thrifty, while Yang Pu admired Yang Rong's strategy and decision, and he was old and serious. Therefore, the relationship between the two is very good, Yang Pu is very positive about Yang Rong's opinions on weekdays, and rarely has disputes with him, but when it comes to matters of principle, Yang Pu never backs down, let alone Yang Rong, even if he is facing the emperor, he still has to say what he should say.

At this moment, after listening to Yang Rong's words, Yang Pu frowned and said: "I don't agree with this matter, eunuchs are not allowed to interfere in politics, this is the rule set by Emperor Taizu back then, can't it be broken in your hands?"

Yang Rong was not annoyed, this classmate and friend's temperament, he knew very well, he just smiled when he heard the words, and said: "Hongji's words are too much, I just let this little eunuch go to Nanjing, it can't be regarded as a political officer, right?

Yang Pu didn't let in the slightest, and said loudly: "I have thousands of civil and military forces in the Ming Dynasty, I don't believe that no one can do this well?"

Huang Huai said: "Hongji is reasonable, there are many people who can be used in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, and it is not necessary to use eunuchs, this is too fake Since the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Tang and Song dynasties, there have been a lot of bad things, which are beneficial to the court and the people?

Yang Rong chuckled and said: "The three adults don't have to forget it, since the Yongle period of my dynasty, the eunuchs can send envoys, special conscriptions, supervise the army, divide the town, and assassinate the subjects to hide all major things, and have made a lot of military achievements for the imperial court, this Wang Zhen is extremely clever, and it is most suitable for him to go to Nanjing to welcome back the prince?"

Yang Pu, as soon as Huang Huai heard this, he was slightly flustered, Zhu Di had been helped by the eunuchs because of the emperor's throne, so he regarded them as cronies, set up the East Factory, and the eunuchs presided over it. Eunuchs began to obtain the power of envoys, special expeditions, and towns, and these eunuchs were loyal to the service, but also did a lot of great things for the imperial court, especially the eunuch Zheng He, who went to the West to promote the prestige of the Ming Dynasty and made a lot of contributions.

Yang Pu said: "What's this, eunuchs are always eunuchs, and handing over such a big thing to a new eunuch who has entered the palace to complete, Lord Yang is too bold, right?"

Yang Rong said: "Since ancient times, wealth has been sought in danger!"

Huang Huai has always known that Yang Rong is alert and sensitive, and he is good at observing words and feelings. Among the hundred officials, he is a capable person who can make decisions and become old, and he hesitated slightly at this time, and said: "I think what Lord Yang said also has some truth, that Wang Zhen is literate and quiet, and he goes to Nanjing is not enough to arouse the vigilance of the King of Han, whether it is for the current situation of the imperial court, or for the prince to return to the capital as soon as possible, I think Wang Zhen is feasible?"

Yang pounced and said, "Lord Huang values Wang Zhen too much?"

Yang Rong suddenly laughed and said: "It's a good thing for Hongji to be cautious, but it's not necessarily a good thing to be too cautious, no matter whether Wang Zhen can do this big thing, it has little impact on the situation in the imperial court, you may forget, the emperor in the Qin'an Palace is still alive, even if Wang Zhen can't finish this, as long as the emperor is still alive, we still think about it in the long run, if this Wang Zhen is a Zheng He-like figure, it may not be a good thing to let him go to Nanjing?"

Huang Huai nodded and said: "It is reasonable, it is reasonable, now that the emperor is still alive, it is not a good thing to send a eunuch to Nanjing to see the prince in advance, first, this matter can let the prince know the situation of the imperial court, and return to Beijing earlier, second, this person is a new eunuch who has entered the palace, which is not enough to arouse the vigilance of King Han and King Zhao, and can be described as the best candidate?"

Yang Pu still frowned, and said: "The plan of the two adults is not bad, but once the emperor dies in the future, this person will have the merit of supporting the dragon, and the prince will inevitably rely on it a lot.

Yang Rong smiled and said: "Hongji is too worried, although the prince is young today, he is very assertive, and he takes Emperor Wen as an example in everything, how can he reuse a eunuch?"

"Well, Lord Yang is reasonable, Wang Zhen will go to this matter, right?" Huang Huai said conclusively.

Yang Pu still wanted to say something, looked at Yang Rong, then at Huang Huai, and saw that the three of them nodded one after another, and their lips moved and they didn't say anything after all.
