Chapter 527: Wei Xiaobao and His Father-in-law?
"Brother Liu, my father summoned the palace yesterday and ordered the palace to take up the post of supervising the country from the day after tomorrow!" Zhu Cihong seemed to be under tremendous pressure and did not vomit or be unhappy.
Last year, when Chongzhen drove his own family to build slaves, although he also supervised the country on behalf of his father, it was a last resort, and yesterday Chongzhen's sudden summons, what he thought and said made Zhu Cihong feel uneasy.
In the three hundred years of the Ming Dynasty, only when the emperor was not in the palace, he would appoint the direct royal family to supervise the country, and there was never an emperor in the palace who let the prince supervise the country for no reason.
'I am old and weak, and my body is not as good as before, you are in charge of the country, you do not decide to consult the cabinet on internal affairs, and ask Youming if you do not decide on foreign affairs, the Ming Dynasty still has today, thanks to Youming's merits, you must not be arbitrary, and the bird is hidden.
Yu Wenchen should not be gullible, nor far away, close to all bodies, far away from all things, appoint people on the basis of merit, know people and make good use of them, and take the people as the priority......
Zhu Cihong still remembered that Chongzhen was unusually stern last night, but with loving words, he suddenly felt a thousand catties of boulders pressed on his chest.
"Oh? Has the emperor finally made up his mind? Liu Hong gradually put down the wine cup in his hand and said meaningfully.
"It turns out that Brother Liu already knew ......," Zhu Cihong said subconsciously.
"Is it the ...... of the emperor's body" Although Chongzhen was silent, most of the people in the palace knew about Chongzhen's condition, and every time Zhu Cihong thought about it, he felt that the sky was about to collapse.
"Huh, what? Stressed? Liu Honggradually avoided talking about Chongzhen's condition, and some things could not be changed.
"Well, although Cihong has the experience of supervising the country, most of the time it is still a few elders in the cabinet who handle government affairs on behalf of the palace.
Zhu Cihong said bluntly.
"Afraid of what? When the emperor inherited the unification, he was also the same age as you, when Wei eunuchs caused chaos in the dynasty, most of the loyal ministers in the court were killed, and the rest were all sloppy.
No one in the palace can be trusted, and Empress Yi'an Zhang even made it clear to your father that you should not eat the food in the palace to prevent someone from poisoning.
That situation is a world away from what it is today. "Thinking of the situation when Uncle Chongzhen first ascended the throne, it is not dangerous, and now that nineteen years have passed, it is embarrassing that he is gray-haired.
"The emperor drove out the Tartars to pave the way for you to build a bridge, and when there is a major matter, you can still ask your father and the emperor for advice, and you can do things with peace of mind." Liu Hong said in a deep voice.
Young man, hurry up and grow up, otherwise your father will not be able to live in peace even if he dies, Zhongxing Daming, his life's long-cherished wish, but the heavens do not fulfill people's wishes, this damn dishonor.
"Brother Liu, father...... How much time do you have left? Although Liu Hong gradually did not say it, Zhu Cihong did not understand the reason.
Even if the emperor is shouted by the mountains again, and how many can live a long life, Zhu Cihong asked with tears in his eyes without feeling sad in his heart.
"Alas, if you can stabilize your condition, have a clear heart and few desires, have less worries, and have less anger, you may be able to last for two years." Liu Hong gradually sighed.
This is also his optimistic assessment, not to mention that this condition is difficult to stabilize, according to Uncle Chongzhen's quick temper, it is really hard to say how it will be in the future.
"Don't talk about these troubles, the emperor is now in the spirit of Longma, you should be the emperor testing you, no need to worry, and let it go!
By the way, I heard that the concubine is happy? Is this true? Liu Hong gradually saw Zhu Cihong's face of compassion, and felt that this child was filial.
"Well, the Chen family and the Qin family have both sent out good news, and the queen mother and father are all happy!" Zhu Cihong also knew that he was out of shape, so he immediately wiped his eyes with his sleeve.
"It's okay, Cihong, kill two birds with one stone!" is only seventeen years old to become a father, Liu Hong can't help but be surprised, this is still preparing for the college entrance examination in the future.
"Huh? What kills two birds with one stone? Zhu Cihong was directly stunned.
"Oh, hehe, I'm praising you for my brother!"
……
Every morning, he took the fat tiger to run around the West Mountain, and then walked around the College of Engineering and the Lecture Hall, and then went into the ordnance institute halfway up the mountain with Song Yingxing to tinker and improve the steam engine.
Running with a dog in the morning has become Liu Hongji's habit, and the Menggu mastiff and fat tiger have now grown into a dog, and this kind of mastiff does not eat rice grain, and only eats two chickens every day, that is, Liu Hongji's family is full of money, and ordinary people can't afford to raise it at all.
It's just that this dog always looks like he doesn't like to deal with people, and when he sees Liu Hongji, he just wags his tail lightly, and the only advantage at present is that he rarely barks.
On this day, as soon as Liu Hong finished exercising, someone came to report, and a distinguished guest had been waiting in the hall for a long time.
Liu Hong gradually changed his clothes and entered the middle hall, but when he saw that the three people sitting on the side of the middle hall were all dressed luxuriously, he saw Liu Hong gradually coming and got up to greet him.
"First in the next sheet! I take the liberty of visiting, and I hope that the prince will not be surprised. Zhang Wei was about 30 years old and was the first to see the ceremony.
"I know you, you are the son of the Zhang family, who has inherited the title of British duke!" Although I don't know what these three people are doing here, Liu Hongjian still returned the courtesy.
After the last Hongmen banquet, the old British prince Zhang Shize knew that he was ashamed of Chongzhen, and in order to avoid Chongzhen's guilt, he asked to inherit the title to his eldest son Zhang Weixian.
After Zhang Shize pledged 50,000 taels, his son Zhang Weixian concealed Zhang Shize's family resources of 400,000 taels and donated them to the imperial court for emergency, so the British public lineage was continued.
"It is in the next, and Rong is in the next to introduce to the prince, this is the jade liquid of the word Mu Tianbo of the Duke of Qianguo, and this is the sincerity of the Bo Liu Kongzhao Zi Fuyang." Zhang Weixian introduced Liu Hongjian one by one, and then the two of them saluted.
"Mu Wangfu's? Isn't it in Yunnan? Why did you suddenly enter Beijing to visit this king? "Somehow, when I saw this Mu Tianbo Liu Hongji's first thought, this is Wei Xiaobao's father-in-law?
"The prince can't talk nonsense, the lord of the next father is the Duke of Qianguo, how dare he call the palace?" Mu Tianbo's heart was furious when he heard this, and when he saw Liu Hong's strange eyes gradually looking at him, he didn't feel embarrassed like sitting on pins and needles.
"Oh, it's this king's nonsense, don't blame Brother Yuye, and sit down." Liu Hong gradually laughed, and said in his heart, how did this old man express this word, jade liquid, jade liquid, this is good drinking?
"You are the sincere man who loves to talk about the matchmaker after Liu Bowen?" Liu Hong gradually looked Liu Kongzhao up and down.
Among the three, Liu Kongzhao is the eldest, only forty years old, and only Zhang Weixian and Liu Kongzhao donated their family funds during the Hongmen banquet.
And Mu Tianbo, who was far away in Yunnan, also immediately sold his property and pledged hundreds of thousands of taels after learning the news, becoming the only two remaining princes of Chongzhen's anger and surrender.
Liu Hongjian was just curious, if Liu Ji, who was known as the military advisor of Sai Zhuge and Liu Bowen, knew that he had a matchmaker, he didn't know how to feel.
"Exactly, I don't know if the prince needs to say matchmaking?" Liu Kongzhao didn't see it at all, and said half-jokingly.
"Hahaha!" Then all four burst into laughter.
"Let's talk about it, why are the three of you looking for this king?" Liu Hong gradually sat down and said.
Before the national disaster, there was still a conscience to serve the country, and these three Liu Honggradually did not have any prejudices.
After the fall of the Southern Ming Dynasty, Mu Tianbo followed the Yongli Imperial Court, and then followed Zhu Youlang into Burma.
"It's not a secret, the next three people are all here for the Xishan workshops."
