Chapter 663: Holy Judgment
Hearing the emperor's cold snort, Yang Rong hurriedly knelt on the ground. "I don't dare to be a minister, I just think that if you listen to it, you will be clear, and if you listen to it, you will be dark, please ask the emperor to learn clearly!"
Zhu Di snorted coldly again, "If you listen to it well, it will be bright, and if you listen to it partially, it will be dark!" But these two statements are very different, who do you want me to listen to? ”
"That's what worries about the minister," Yang Rong said: "Everyone speaks from their own standpoint, which is inevitably biased, which will then affect the emperor's holy judgment." ”
"What about you?" Zhu Di's face was unpredictable and difficult to understand.
"As the minister said, this matter has already happened, and making a decision one day earlier and one day later will not have any impact. The emperor sent a messenger to investigate the cause and effect of this matter, the ins and outs, and then it was not too late to make a holy judgment. Yang Rong said firmly.
Zhu Di's slender and gloomy eyes looked at Yang Rong with fierce eyes: "This is what you are talking about?" ”
"Yes." Under the gaze of the emperor to subdue demons and eliminate demons, Yang Rong became more and more determined and honest.
The monarch and the ministers looked at each other for a moment, Zhu Di closed his eyes, and said lightly: "Then let's do it." ”
"Your Majesty." Yang Rong said that he was not afraid that it was fake, he was even ready to go to prison, and he really felt like he had escaped death at this moment.
Naturally, Zhu Zhanji breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't want to regain the favor of the emperor's grandfather just now, and in a blink of an eye he returned to a state worse than the past.
"Then this errand will bother Yang Aiqing to go." Zhu Di's thoughts can only be explained by himself, but he will not sue anyone, including his grandson. After a pause, he said: "Don't bother the two masters, and the holy decree that King Zhao asked you to write before, you can also pass on the decree." ”
"......" Yang Rong listened to the emperor's previous words, and secretly rejoiced in his heart, it seems that the emperor still loves the prince after all, and sends himself to be this Qincha, even if he will not favor the prince, he will definitely be impartial, and that will be enough for the prince. However, when he heard the latter sentence, he chuckled in his heart again, and asked stubbornly: "The minister, may I ask the emperor, for the latter holy decree, is the minister just passing the decree or ......?"
"To supervise the execution." Zhu Di smiled coldly and said, "If the errand is not done well, you don't have to come back to see me." ”
"......" Yang Rongden was like being poured a bucket of ice water on his head for 39 days, and the whole person was there.
"What, are you embarrassed? Not necessarily! Zhu Di smiled and said: "The prohibition of gold and silver is my ancestral family law of the Ming Dynasty, and I just asked the prince to reiterate it in the capital." Before, I was still a little worried, worried that he wouldn't even be able to suppress the capital, but I heard that he, Xue Juzheng, and that Wang Xian swept away the bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods inside and outside the capital, which was really very happy, and it was really a godsend opportunity to carry out the ban on gold and silver with the prestige of a great victory! ”
"This ......" Yang Rong saw that the emperor was such a scoundrel, and knew that everything he said was in vain, so he could only bow his head and answer: "The minister's decree." ”
"Okay, you pack up and go," Zhu Di nodded and said, "We must rush to Beijing as much as possible, and implement the gold and silver ban as much as possible," said the emperor sighed, revealing some true thoughts: "The bad money law is already unsightly." It is imminent to turn the tide, and I chose to settle in the capital, not to embarrass the prince, let alone embarrass you, but to place faint hopes on you, understand? ”
"Minister...... Got it. Yang Rong choked up and said, what else can he say about this kind of superb belly black emperor? can only be obediently driven to the east and west.
"Alright, you can step aside." Zhu Di turned around and brushed his sleeves, looked at Zhu Zhanji again and said, "You came from afar, are you tired along the way?" Let's go take a shower first, then get a good night's sleep, and then talk to the two of us when we get up. ”
"Yes," Zhu Zhanji got up and left the emperor's dormitory after Yang Rong......
Yang Rong walked out of the Qianqing Palace with a heavy face and heavier steps, the hot sun shone on him dizzy, and it took a while to settle down, and he was just about to return to the Wenhua Hall to explain the errand at hand, when he heard someone behind him shouting: "Master Yang, please stay." "Almost all the cabinet scholars have taught Zhu Zhanji, and it is absolutely right to call him master.
"His Royal Highness." Yang Rong stood still, turned around and said, "I don't know what advice His Highness has?" ”
"I don't dare to advise, thank you Master Yang for your protection of my father and son." Zhu Zhanji hugged his fists.
"His Royal Highness has praised it, if His Royal Highness the Prince's side arrives first, the ministers will also suppress it." Yang Rong said lightly: "There is nothing else, the minister will leave first." ”
"Master stay," Zhu Zhanji also knew that Yang Rong's personality was the most cautious, and this was outside the emperor's bedroom, so he stopped talking nonsense and asked directly: "May I ask Master Yang, what's going on with the ban on gold and silver?" Why do you want to reiterate this in the capital again? ”
Yang Rong told Zhu Zhanji about this kind of thing, so he naturally wouldn't be taboo, so he regained his footing, sighed and said: "Your Highness doesn't know anything...... As he spoke, he told the cause and effect of the emperor's will to the grandson.
When Zhu Zhanji heard this, his heart was cold, and he said for a while: "Isn't the imperial grandfather embarrassed my father?" It is already commonplace for ordinary people to use gold and silver instead of money, and it is going to cause chaos if they are forced to twist around. ”
"Hey......" Yang Rong sighed and said: "The emperor is arbitrary, even if he is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, and he can only go up as a courtier." ”
"Thank you for your hard work." Zhu Zhanji shuddered even more when he thought of the scene in the capital where chickens and dogs were about to jump, because he suddenly understood why the imperial grandfather didn't know about the chaos in the capital before he reported it. Originally, even if Yang Rong suppressed it, his uncle would make a small report to the emperor. But Zhu Gaosui surprisingly did not make a sound, this is obviously not a sudden defection of King Zhao, but a deeper intention......
Now it seems that King Zhao's intention is obvious, that is, he does not want the prince to be a blessing in disguise and escape this fateful errand because of punishment. Yes, this errand will cost the prince's life, because the prince's greatest reliance is the support of the people and officials. Unlike the Yongle Emperor, who was equated with rebellious ministers and thieves in the eyes of the people, the crown prince Zhu Gaoxu had a good reputation among the people, saying that he was a benevolent and righteous prince, and looked forward to his ascension to the pole in the future, which could make the people breathe a sigh of relief.
Don't look down on the support of the people, this thing seems to be useless, but it is the real people's will and public opinion, the so-called water can carry boats, and the people support the prince, even the emperor can't move him lightly. As for the support of the civil officials, the usefulness is even more obvious, and it can be said that without the support of the civil officials, the crown prince would not be able to hold out to this day...... But if the crown prince implements the ban on gold and silver in the capital, it will definitely be impossible to post a few notices, which will annoy the emperor, and there will be absolutely no good fruit for him to eat.
But if it is strictly implemented, it will inevitably arrest people on a large scale, and even raid people's homes, so that people will be exposed and exposed, so that the capital, which is already in chaos, will be completely chaotic. That would offend the common people, not to mention that even the civil officials would be disappointed in the crown prince......
The reason why the civil officials unrepentantly support the prince is because the prince conforms to the image of the benevolent and righteous king in their minds, the so-called benevolence and righteousness, first of all, we must love the people and sympathize with the people, not only can we not do things that harm the people, but also have to ask for the people's lives if necessary.
It doesn't matter who can withstand Zhu Di's pressure in the Ming Dynasty......
The more Zhu Zhanji thought about it, the more confused he became, and when he came back to his senses, he found that Yang Rong had disappeared, and he couldn't help but sigh, and secretly shouted in his heart: "A wave of unevenness, wave after wave, the emperor is willing to give up if the capital is completely chaotic?" ’。
Under the scorching sun, the apse of King Zhao's mansion is still cool, but it is not as quiet as yesterday, but the sound of a drum sounds, the drum one by one, not beating people's ear drums, but beating people's hearts one by one.
Followed by the sound of the flute without a trace of fireworks, the flute sound is quiet, as if it came down from the sky, the sound of the drum and the flute are combined, it is seamless, so that the palace people inside and outside the hall are drunk and stupid.
Immediately afterwards, it was a soft singing voice of Kun Ling Wu Nong:
"The face is peachy, the waist is timid, and the eyebrows are locked. It's not a sad spring, because it's even closed. I'm afraid to look at the bees outside the window, flying in front of the eaves, and I want to ...... the beginning of the Qingming Dynasty."
"Let's sing it first!" The voice of King Zhao in the hall sounded, interrupting Kun Ling's singing.
Zhu Gaosui was wearing a lilac silk robe, leaning lazily on the couch, and said to Wei Wuji, who was next to him and had long hair in white: "How is it?" ”
"This is the singing section of "The Story of Huansha", not like the original Jinling dialect, but with some singing of northern songs." Wei Wujian is also an expert, and when he heard this, he smiled and said, "It must be the prince's idea, right?" ”
"Hehe, that's good." Zhu Gaosui smiled: "What do you think of the effect?" ”
"It's wonderful." Wei Wujian praised: "The tone is more and more tactful and beautiful, giving people a feeling of rebirth." ”
Wei Wuji's praise made Zhu Gaosui's bones almost crispy, and he smiled happily: "Listening to Nanqu alone, I always feel that something is inappropriate, but I don't know what is wrong. Later, I carefully studied a variety of tunes in the north and south, and finally found that the original singing tune was straight and simple, lacking ups and downs, so I wanted to gather the strengths of various tunes in the world to improve the southern tunes......" said and sighed: "It's not easy to just have to grind one note at a time?" It took more than half a year to grind out these six sentences. ”
"Everything is difficult at the beginning, and it will be fast when the prince comes later." Wei Wuxian said.
"I want you to help Lone do this!" Zhu Gaosui said with reluctance in his eyes: "If you help, Lone's speed will be greatly improved." ”
"There is a weakness in the heart." Wei Wuqian smiled bitterly: "There is a way that the fist does not leave the hand, the song does not leave the mouth, I have not left the fist in the past few years, and the song is deserted, that is, I can listen to it......"
"Hey." Zhu Gaosui said distressedly: "It's hard for you, I've been running around for me all these years, and I've only been here for a few days, and I'm going south in a hurry." As he spoke, he waved his hand, and Leban and Kun Ling bowed in unison and quietly retreated.
"What's the matter, there's news in the palace?" Wei Wujian pressed back and asked excitedly.
"Hmm." Zhu Gaosui sighed and said: "The day before yesterday, Zhu Zhanji came, and a kid pleaded in front of his father, and my eldest brother really got through the danger...... said with a smug smile: "But my father didn't completely expose it, but asked Yang Rong to return to Beijing as a messenger, on the one hand, to inquire about the case, and on the other hand, to supervise the ban on gold and silver." Obviously, if the latter errand is done, the former will no longer be pursued, otherwise, the new and old accounts will be counted together, which is enough for my eldest brother to drink a pot! ”
