Chapter 1007: Father and Son
The next day, the well-informed princes and ministers had already heard that the king of Han would replace Liu Sheng as the governor of Shandong to quell the rebellion. And when the news spread out from the mouths of PHS and let more people know, the Xiyuan Gate exploded! Yu Shi, who was in charge of the order of the early dynasty, shouted out his voice to let everyone be quiet, and no one paid attention to it.
Everyone did not hide the shock, frustration, horror, or surprise on their faces, they loudly talked about the fact that the King of Han was about to make a comeback, and speculated about the future development of the situation - the adults in the imperial court of the capital were from a high position, and everyone knew very well that the White Lotus Sect was just a stepping stone for the King of Han to re-enter the stage! I am afraid that after the Han King quells the rebellion, Shandong will always be his independent kingdom!
Speaking of which, at least one point is the consensus of the king's ministers, that is, the prince is in danger, the grandson is in danger, although there is no immediate worry, there must be long-term concern!
Suddenly, the outside of the Xiyuan Gate quieted down for the first time, because the princes and ministers saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Taisun get out of the car and appear in front of everyone.
"Meet His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Grandson!" The ministers hurriedly saluted, but some people seemed to have some schadenfreude in their eyes.
Zhu Zhanji nodded to everyone and hurriedly stepped forward to support Zhu Gaochi. Zhu Gaochi glanced at Zhu Zhanji, saw that his eyes were dark, and asked in a low voice, "Have you thought about it?" ”
Zhu Zhanji shook his head with some difficulty and did not speak.
The prince didn't speak again, and slowly came to his place to stand under Zhu Zhanji's support.
At this time, the bells and drums in the West Garden rang in unison, the West Garden Gate slowly opened, and the ministers hurriedly cleaned up their appearance, lined up with their hands, entered the palace gate, and stood according to the shift under the Showa Palace. Before the completion of the three major halls, Zhu Di was here to listen to the government, and the three major halls were burned down as soon as they were opened, and the place where the court was last naturally moved back to Xiyuan......
After the whip sounded, the ceremonial guard was ready, and in the sound of Shao music, the emperor ascended to the throne.
After some deliberations, the minister began to perform important tasks. In fact, the state apparatus developed to the Ming Dynasty, and there were more than a thousand affairs collected to the central government every day. Therefore, most of the regular government affairs are handled by the six ministries, and the major military affairs are discussed by the emperor in the inner palace with relevant ministers on a small scale. As for the early dynasty, it has long become a ritual to govern the people on behalf of the Son of Heaven, and only the most important matters will be discussed in the early dynasty. And it was a symbolic discussion, because the emperor had already made up his mind with his close ministers long before the early dynasty......
In the early days of the Dynasty, first the Ministry of Industry Shangshu Song Li went out of class and reported to the emperor, and the Ministry of Industry has drawn up a design budget plan for rebuilding the three major halls, please ask the emperor to take a look. Zhu Di naturally knew about it a long time ago, and said with a depressed expression: "Read." ”
So Song Li read it out of the court, and when he heard that the project cost was about 30 million taels of silver, everyone gasped, and then looked at Xia Yuanji, who was skinny and had white hair.
Zhu Di patiently listened to the twists and turns, and really asked Xia Yuanji: "When will the money be raised?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty, at least three years." Xia Yuanji said calmly: "It will take three years to raise the funds in the early stage. "Xia Shangshu has long been fighting with the emperor in private, and starting construction three years later is a compromise reached between the two, and at the moment it is just a script.
"That means it will take three years to start work?" Zhu Di said with a wistful expression: "I will have at least six years, and I will go to court here?" ”
"Yes." Xia Yuanji nodded and said slowly: "The emperor also knows that the treasury is full of grain, the people in all directions are tired, and the Ministry of Household and Industry has spent three years to raise funds and prepare materials, which is already 100,000 urgent, and it can't be faster." ”
"Then let's do it......" Although it was expected, Zhu Di's heart was still on fire, a heavy anger appeared on his face, and he slapped the dragon chair heavily and said: "This is all an unwarranted disaster brought by the White Lotus Demon!" The Buddha's mother burned my treasure hall, and the White Lotus Sect messed up my Shandong, and now he is still at large, and even the founding of the country is called the king, which is unbearable! Saying that, Zhu Di's voice raised and shouted: "I will crush it into powder, so as to vent the hatred in my heart!" ”
Listening to the emperor's words, King Zhao glanced at Zhao Xuan, the new secretary of the military department.
"Your Majesty," Zhao Xuan hurriedly went out to report: "Anyuan Marquis Liu Sheng is afraid of the enemy's cowardice, and he does not obey the decree, and now it has been ten days, but he still does not move, and the ministers please punish him severely to set an example!" And send the minister who is brave and good at fighting the king to replace him! ”
"Zhao Shangshu, don't talk nonsense!" Yangwu Marquis Xue Lu quit, pointed at Zhao Xian and said: "An Yuanhou is not resisting the order, but has a different battle plan!" ”
"Yes," Zhu Yong also answered: "Marquis An Yuan has already given the emperor, I hope to have a grace period of one month, and I have also set up a military order, and I will definitely win in a month, how can it be regarded as a rebellion?!" ”
"This ......" Zhao Xuan was speechless for a while, and couldn't help but glance at King Zhao.
King Zhao also frowned secretly, he didn't expect that these princes were silent in the upper study yesterday, but they were in trouble together this morning!
After thinking about it, King Zhao understood the intentions of these old foxes. Yesterday, the emperor was angry, no matter how much they persuaded him, it was counterproductive, it was better to wait for the night, and when the emperor calmed down, it was not too late to persuade him.
However, King Zhao is not too worried, because the will has been prepared and sealed, and with the emperor's stubborn character, he will never change his order! So he pursed his lips and shook his head slightly at Zhao Yi, signaling him to be calm and not impatient, just watch the play.
"I have given him enough time before," Sure enough, Zhu Di opened his mouth, only to see the emperor say with a gloomy face: "Besides, my will is clearly written, and he is limited to send troops within ten days, otherwise let Xian." Now that he is still standing still, he must abdicate and make way for Xian! ”
"Your Majesty, please think twice!" Zhu Yong stubbornly persuaded: "The so-called generals are not subject to the orders of the monarchs outside, sometimes the situation on the front line, only the generals on the front line know best, maybe a month later, the situation in Shandong will change greatly!" ”
"Humph!" Zhu Di snorted coldly and said: "You also said that it was 'maybe', then I also said that maybe it won't appear!" He said with an unhappy face: "I am not an unreasonable person, if Liu Sheng's words are reasonable, how can I not consider his proposition?" But that guy didn't mention the reason, so he dared to resist and disobey, and asked me to wait for another month! I don't take it too seriously! ”
When Zhu Di was talking to the two princes, the prince looked at the grandson fixedly, but Zhu Zhanji only lowered his head vigorously and did not look up at the prince at all.
"Your Majesty!" Xue Lu hurriedly said: "Liu Sheng didn't say the reason, there must be a reason why he can't say it." Maybe his method, once known, won't work......"
"Maybe, maybe," Zhu Di interrupted Xue Lu rudely, and shouted in a deep voice: "You dare to vouch for it with a head?" Can you win in a month?! Do you dare?! ”
"This ......" Xue Lu was stunned for a moment, and said stubbornly: "Dare for the minister." ”
"It's useless if you dare, your head is as light as a feather compared to my Shandong!" Zhu Di said with a dark face.
"And how about the head of the son?" Before the emperor could finish speaking, a warm and firm voice sounded.
The ministers followed the voice, which one is not His Royal Highness the Prince?!
"You?!" Seeing the prince speak, Zhu Di was stunned for a moment, in the past half a year, the prince has been so quiet that the emperor has forgotten his existence......
The ministers were also dumbfounded, they never expected that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would make a rare voice at this juncture!
A trace of panic finally appeared in King Zhao's eyes, he bit his lower lip tightly and looked at the prince resentfully.
Only His Royal Highness Taisun still lowered his head, and if you look up from below, you will see the corners of his mouth obviously upturned......
The pins falling in front of the Showa Hall can be heard, and only the rustle of the wind blowing through the flag.
"What do you mean?!" Seeing the prince popping out, Zhu Di's expression was gloomy and terrifying, and he asked coldly: "If Liu Sheng can't win a month later, you let me kill my own son with my own hands?" You're tired of living on your own, and I don't want to bear that infamy yet. ”
"Erchen will definitely not, because I firmly believe that Liu Sheng will definitely win a big victory!" Zhu Gaochi was neither humble nor arrogant: "If Liu Sheng can't win by then, he doesn't need his father to do it, and the son will finish it himself!" ”
"You said it yourself." Zhu Di was like a poisonous snake, staring at the prince.
"Yes. Above the court, the ministers will not dare to play with children's play! The prince nodded.
All the princes and ministers were stupid, they really couldn't imagine that there would be such a crazy situation in this court meeting - His Royal Highness the Crown Prince actually vouched for Liu Sheng with his own life, and the emperor actually seemed to have the intention of agreeing to the prince!
"His Royal Highness the Prince, be cautious!" Jian Yi was stunned, ignoring the etiquette, and immediately went out of class and said loudly: "Please take back Fang Cai's words immediately!" ”
"Yes, Your Highness, these words cannot be said!" The princes also persuaded one after another.
"You don't need to persuade, your mind has been decided, and persuasion is useless." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince only shook his head, ignoring the persuasion of everyone.
"In that case, I can't fail to obey His Royal Highness the Prince's order." Zhu Di hated the prince's appearance of a saint the most, gritted his teeth and said: "If Liu Sheng still can't win after a month, I don't want your life, just take off your prince's hat and take the guilt!" ”
"Ahh The ministers were dumbfounded, and said in their hearts that this is not more powerful than taking the prince's life?
"That's how it should be." The crown prince nodded and said: "Foolish and credulous, not worthy of being a king, my father can take advantage of this to choose another clever choice." ”
"Good!" Zhu Di patted the dragon chair and said: "That's it, a word is a certainty!" ”
"Yes!" Ignoring the desperately dissuading eyes of the ministers, the prince nodded and returned to his original position.
The rest of the court meeting was boring, and everyone was thinking about their own thoughts...... King Zhao looked at the crown prince, the grandson, and then at Zhu Di, and suddenly seemed to understand something, his frowning brows stretched, and a sarcastic smile hung on the corner of his mouth.
The ministers looked at the prince worriedly, but Zhu Gaochi stood there like a mountain as if he had nothing to do. When it was time to go to the next court, Zhu Zhanji hurriedly came over to support his father, and the prince let him carry him out of the gate of Xiyuan Palace. Before getting into the car, Zhu Gaochi whispered: "Now, whatever you want, right?" ”
Zhu Zhanji was hot all over, and he couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to drill down - it turned out that the prince had already seen through his thoughts!
