Chapter 895: Imperial Authority
When Zhu Yong went out, Yang Qing hurriedly went in to pass the ceremony, and after a while, he came out and said to Zhu Zhanji with a smile: "Your Highness, Your Majesty invites you to go in." ”
Although Zhu Zhanji has faced the saint countless times, he is extremely nervous this time. He straightened his robe, took a deep breath, put on the most suitable face, and then quickly walked into the dormitory, puffed and knelt in front of Zhu Di's bed, without speaking, tears rushed out first, and the black face was full of grievances and helplessness, it was really difficult for him.
"Alright, stop crying." Zhu Di sighed, his eyes wandered for a moment, and he said slowly: "You are you, the prince is the prince, don't worry." ”
Zhu Zhanji's hanging heart was put down, but he listened to the emperor's words again: "I just don't know, can you also separate?" After speaking, Zhu Di stared at him tightly, with a pair of dim eyes, clearly revealing a sharp light.
"Grandchildren can naturally be separated!" Zhu Zhanji did not hesitate for a moment, and said categorically: "My grandson does not agree with my father's approach. ”
"Oh...... So what do you think? Zhu Di asked with interest.
"My grandson thinks that the emperor's grandfather is far-sighted and is the foundation of the world, so he naturally resolutely supports it!"
"Hmm......" Zhu Di said with a smile on his face: "I read it right, my Zhu family's Qianli Horse, not bad, not bad." Help me up and walk. ”
Won the praise of the emperor's grandfather, Zhu Zhanji was like eating ginseng fruit, the 36,000 pores of his body were dilated together, the tiredness that had not slept all night was swept away, he got up from the ground, helped the emperor with numb hands and feet, put on his shoes, and helped Zhu Di to walk two steps in the main hall.
Zhu Di's face turned pale, and his forehead was slightly sweaty. Seeing this, Zhu Zhanji hurriedly helped the emperor to sit down on the recliner, added a pillow to him, and poured water for the emperor only after he was comfortable.
Zhu Di took the teacup and took a sip of the extremely strong incense piece, which was his habit for many years, and Zhu Zhanji naturally knew it well. After the tea was in the stomach, he had some strength in his body, and Zhu Di sighed and said: "It's not okay to be old, this body is really angry and tired." ”
"Grandpa Huang's words are wrong, you are in the spring and autumn and the dragon is healthy, but you are slightly ill, and you will be able to shoot a bow and arrow again in spring." Zhu Zhanji hurriedly smiled.
"I hope so." Zhu Di said slowly: "However, I do have to put more burden on you, so I'm too lazy." Saying that, he looked at Zhu Zhanji and said, "You have been studying government affairs with me for several years, how about it?" Do you have the confidence to take care of me for a while......"
"This ......" Zhu Zhanji's heart pounded when he heard it, the imperial grandfather wanted him to act as an agent for state affairs! Zhu Zhanji naturally couldn't ask for it, but ...... This should be the prince's errand, the imperial grandfather crossed his father and handed it over to him, but let his father, how can the dignified prince deal with himself?
"If it's embarrassing, forget it," Zhu Di saw that he was entangled, and said lightly: "And what about your third uncle......"
"Grandson, of course I am willing to share the worries of the imperial grandfather, but I ......" Zhu Zhanji hurriedly said his position as if he had been stung in the buttocks.
"Just what?" Zhu Di's tone was cold, as if he was impatient to discuss this topic with him.
Zhu Zhan basically wanted to say, but in this way, what should my father do? But seeing Zhu Di's attitude, when the words came to his lips, he changed them again: "I'm just worried that I am inexperienced, I have missed the national politics, and I will lose the love of the emperor's grandfather." ”
"Hahaha......" Zhu Di laughed happily and said: "It doesn't matter, you come to ask me about major events, you can consult the cabinet for daily affairs, Yang Shiqi and Yang Rong They are all capable ministers selected by me, and they will do their best." ”
"In this way," Zhu Zhanji also smiled, and said with the same joyful smile: "The grandson is better to be respectful than to obey his fate." ”
"So very good," Zhu Di said: "Then I will announce the decree to the court, and the imperial grandson will act as the government of the court!" ”
"Yes!" Zhu Zhanji respectfully knelt down to receive the order......
"What?!"
When Zhu Zhanji went back to Wang Xian's house, it was already dark. Wang Xian had been waiting there for a long time, and when he heard him talk about the emperor's appointment, he suddenly felt extremely ridiculous: "This is clearly a separation between your father and son!" You're so easy to be fooled?! ”
"If I don't agree, Grandpa Huang will give this errand to the third uncle!" Zhu Zhanji said with a look of grievance: "What do you want me to do?" You can't watch the third uncle bingzheng, most of them are coupled to the country, right?! ”
"How could the emperor let King Zhao govern?! It's not enough to get confused to that point! Wang Xian shook his head categorically and said, "It's just a trick to force you to submit." ”
"I can't take that risk!" Zhu Zhanji said in a sullen voice.
"I think you've eaten lard and been blinded!" Wang Xian couldn't help but sneer.
"You!" Zhu Zhanji's black face turned red, and he glared at Wang Xian fiercely, he wanted to say, 'You find out your identity', but he couldn't say it anyway.
Wang Xian also knew that he had said what he had said, and said patiently: "Your Highness, brother, fight tiger brothers, go into battle father and son." You and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are one, and this kind of thing that will cause father and son to turn against each other is absolutely unacceptable! ”
"What's the use of what you're saying now?!" Zhu Zhanji waved his hand irritably and said, "Grandpa Huang has already made an order now!" It's hard to collect when covered with water, you know? ”
"Then you hurry back and make it clear to His Royal Highness the Prince, at least minimize the contradictions." Wang Xian said bitterly.
Zhu Zhanji just wanted to agree, but remembering the conflict with his father last night, his face darkened again and said, "Don't go!" ”
"Go ahead."
"No, no."
"Go ahead."
"Don't go!" Zhu Zhanji jumped up irritably and shouted, "Don't stand and talk without back pain!" It's my father on one side, but my grandfather on the other! How uncomfortable it was for me to get caught in the middle, you know what?! As he spoke, he pointed at Wang Xian's nose and shouted: "You have the ability to persuade my father with these words!" Why do you only ask me to obey my father and not ask him to obey my father?! In the end, His Royal Highness the Emperor Sun dropped a sentence: "As long as my father can bow his head to the imperial grandfather, I promise to ask the imperial grandfather to hand over the state affairs to my father as soon as possible!" ”
After speaking, Zhu Zhanji walked out angrily. Wang Xian was sprayed by him, helplessly took out a handkerchief to wipe his face, and asked behind him, "Where are you going?" ”
"You have to take care of it!" Zhu Zhanji's voice disappeared in the howling north wind.
"My lord," when Zhu Zhanji walked away, Wu Wei, who was standing on the side, said: "The emperor's family affairs are better mixed less." ”
"Yes, you have to have a long memory." Wang Xian nodded, and said thoughtfully: "Since no one can persuade you, then don't waste your efforts to dislike people." He sighed as he spoke, obviously not as relaxed as he ...... said.
Qianqing Palace, the Imperial Palace of Beijing.
The emperor's will was soon issued, the government and the opposition were in an uproar, and officials speculated about the deep meaning of the emperor's arrangement...... There are also many people who complain about His Royal Highness the grandson's refusal to refuse the holy decree and put his father in an embarrassing situation......
But no matter what others say, His Royal Highness Taisun still took on the heavy responsibility of acting for the state from now on. The first order the emperor gave him was to punish his father......
"What do you think the prince should be guilty of?" Zhu Di was almost angry with the prince and turned into a vegetative person, so naturally he would not give up.
"The prince has been, but the grandson is his son, and the son has discussed the father, which is contrary to the teachings of the saints." Zhu Zhanji had already dealt with it, and replied unhurriedly: "Please also ask the imperial grandfather to show it, and the grandson will follow it." ”
"Hehe......" Zhu Di smiled and said, "Slippery head." ”
Seeing that Zhu Di was not really angry, Zhu Zhanji put his mind at ease and said with a smile: "Grandpa Huang should be considerate of his grandson, if you have anything else, you will definitely not dare to slip your head." ”
Zhu Di liked Zhu Zhanji to talk to himself like this, nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, don't embarrass you." You let Yang Rong and them draft an edict......" After a pause, the emperor obviously had an idea in his heart, and said slowly: "Let the prince think about it behind closed doors, when will you figure it out, and when will you come to see me again." ”
"Yes." Zhu Zhanji responded happily this time.
"Also, one more decree, order the Ministry of Works to cast the Imperial City Four Gate Talismans and Night Watch Tokens. The order and the token are divided into two halves, and now the inspector holds the left half, and the guardian holds the right half, and when the guard encounters the inspector to check, the bronze charm matches and engages. "Zhu Di is obviously highly vigilant about what happened the day before yesterday, but the emperor knows very well that there will be no result in the investigation, because everyone is dutiful, and before the dagger is not met, An can distinguish his loyalty and traitor? Therefore, we can only remedy it from the system and take precautions: "Then I ordered Chengguo Gong to be the guard officer of the imperial city, and Zhao Ying, the commander of Dongchang, to be the inspector of the imperial city." ”
"Yes." Zhu Zhanji naturally had no objection to this, and he did not dare to have the slightest objection.
"Also," Zhu Di said another will: "The order is that the officials of the Ministry of Officials, the Sixth Department of Nanjing, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the temples, and the governors of the five armies, from the day they receive the order, immediately hand over the official affairs to their deputies, and must arrive in Beijing before the fifteenth day of the lunar month, and if they are overdue for one day, they will be fined one year, and if they are overdue, they will be demoted to three levels, and those who have not arrived before New Year's Day will be removed from their official positions and sent back to their hometowns and never be used." ”
"Yes......" Zhu Zhanji knew that the emperor's grandfather was ruthless, and he would rather offend officials all over the world than move the capital to Beijing......
The emperor issued three decrees in one day, the second one was fine, and the other two were like thunder, cutting through the north and south of the river, causing an uproar in the Ming officialdom...... The officials were heartbroken, grieved and indignant, mourned, and wanted to live or die. However, enough of the pretentiousness was enough, and almost all the high-ranking officials who were named obediently went on the road, much to the disappointment of those lower-level officials who had high hopes for them.
Speaking of which, it is still Zhu Di who knows him best, and knows that those high-ranking officials who have been rolling in the sea for twenty or thirty years and are easy to serve the purple waist gold are actually the easiest to succumb. As long as these people go north, next year they will hold another imperial examination in Beijing, select one or two hundred more jinshi, and keep all of them in Beijing.
As for the people who are the happiest and the most fierce, just leave them in Nanjing, enjoy the flowers and walk the birds......
