Chapter 1001 Two Places in Beijing
Xiao Kuang bowed his head below and didn't dare to speak, after the Lu Fan destroyed the door, Wei Zhongxian immediately pushed several heirs of the King of Lu County to inherit the Lu Domain, although the King of Lu was nothing, but such a god was placed over there, once there was something in the court, the court could quickly raise the army to do it, if not, the court was vaguely entangled in the court to delay many things, presumably Xuzhou Zhao Jin also understood this truth, so this time the Lu Fan was not clear about the destruction of the door.
But this matter met the obstruction of all Shandong officials and eunuchs in the inner court and the outer court, it is true that some people have taken a fancy to the fields and industries of the Lu Domain, and want to make a fortune through it, Dongchang even found out that the people of the Confucian Mansion of Yansheng Gong are very enthusiastic about this, but there are also people who care about the countryside and want to let Shandong take a breath, where is there a vassal king, it is equivalent to a scourge, and it is really a disaster to knock the bones and suck the marrow of the place, so that the people are miserable, these people are all kind-hearted, Shandong is so exploited, this time it is good to take a breath, But he didn't dare to say this to Wei Zhongxian.
"Ancestor, now tens of thousands of soldiers and horses are still in Shandong, and there are tens of thousands of Liao soldiers in Dengzhou, so it is better to go south directly and directly level Xuzhou, so that Xuzhou Zhao Jin is ambitious." Xiao Kuang said, but he himself knew that it was impossible.
Hearing this, Wei Zhongxian sighed, and the previous anger disappeared, only shaking his head there, and said in great distress: "There are too many small chaos in Henan, and those princes also have to be guarded, the Henan soldiers want to go back, the Hetao is not restless, the grassland is also turbulent, and the soldiers on the Shanxi side also have to go back, the Liaodong side is getting more and more tense day by day, and our soldiers and horses in Beizhili can't leave for too long, but those Liao soldiers can't move around, they want food and salary, and the grievances are too heavy, if there is trouble on the way, The scourge of these tens of thousands of Liao soldiers is much greater than that of those thieves. ”
Xiao Kuang naturally knew these reasons, and Wei Zhongxian over there pinched the corners of his forehead with his hand, and said in an astringent voice: "It's really difficult to be this family, the people are angry and complaining about the Liao salary, but the money and grain that can be collected are filled out like flowing water, and in the end there is a huge deficit, Liaodong is fighting, the southwest is also fighting, and Shanxi is not at peace. ”
"The ancestor doesn't have to worry, the child sees that Zhao Jin is measured, and he only recognizes wealth, and there is no harm."
"It's better if he doesn't have a sense of proportion, at this age, so forbearant in the city, so big step by step, our family can't sleep when he thinks about it, and he always feels worried and afraid." Speaking of this, Wei Zhongxian calmed down a lot, patted his hand on the table, gritted his teeth and said: "When Liaodong and the southwest are pacified, we must send a large army to pacify Xuzhou, whether it is 100,000 or 200,000 soldiers."
Xiao Kuang nodded, he also thought the same, a local tyrant in Xuzhou, compared to the huge world, is rampant at this time, it is nothing more than bullying the Ming Dynasty to use troops everywhere, and he can't spare his hand, if he really has spare strength, he can be killed by changing hands, don't worry so much.
But come to this room once, in addition to reporting official affairs, private matters are also to be said, he also has his own errands to do, he is very busy every day, and only when he meets, he reports and communicates as much as possible.
"Ancestor, the matter of sealing the Fifth Highness as the king of faith has been decided, saying that it was decreed in August, and the child feels that the long live Lord and the Fifth Highness have a deep brotherhood, should they also flatter and flatter in the past, and also pave a way for the future." Xiao Kuang said.
"We are just one master, serving the Long Live Lord is better than anything else, you don't have to think nonsense, Long Live Lord is when he was young, now he is not in a hurry, it will be a few years later, then the Fifth Highness will go outside sooner or later, what do you do with him" Wei Zhongxian responded very harshly.
Xiao Kuang just bowed his head obediently and said, "The ancestor taught me!" Be. ”
The most important person in the palace is the Son of Heaven, his likes and dislikes can change the situation, and only when he grasps it accurately can he maintain his wealth and nobility for a long time, the second most important thing is often the prince, this prince is the future emperor, and he will flatter well, and the wealth in the future is not worried, so the twenty-four yamen of the inner court know that they flatter the prince, and the righteous sons and apprentices of each big block are often sent to serve the prince.
But the Emperor of the Apocalypse has no heirs so far, and everyone in the palace knows that this Long Live Lord doesn't like women very much, but has put a lot of effort into those young and handsome little eunuchs, which can't give birth to children, if it has been like this, the fifth highness of the Apocalypse, Zhu Youzhen, has the possibility of succeeding to the throne, for such a major event as the succession to the throne, it may be worth betting on one point, but Xiao Kuang also knows that Wei Zhongxian is very disgusted with others talking about this topic, and he has always been very firm that sooner or later the Son of Heaven will have an heir, It's good to make arrangements then.
Because of this idea, Wei Zhongxian didn't like Zhu Youzhen very much, and always felt that this Zhu Youzhen hadn't settled until now, and he had other plans, but he ignored that Tianqi had always been unwilling to let this younger brother leave, and the news had been confirmed, even if he sealed the letter, the king would stay in the capital to accompany him.
In the Ming generation, the emperor's sons, only the crown prince will have a relatively complete education, there will be teaching and studying, while other princes often have to wait until after the feudal domain to receive education, at that time there are teachers and the palace chief Shi supervised, it is much better than in the capital.
The emperor's brother Zhu Youzhen has no teacher as usual, but the Emperor of the Apocalypse cares for this younger brother abnormally, and specially arranges for the Hanlin Bachelor to teach, but all the talents of the Hanlin Academy are waiting to be scholars and scholars, and no one wants to spend energy on a meaningless vassal king, no matter how good you teach, this imperial brother Zhu Youzhen is close and grateful, what is the use, and when it is time to become a vassal, will the dignified bachelor still follow to do the history of the palace, wouldn't it be laughed off by the world.
The Hanlin Academy was also perfunctory to this arrangement, and arranged for an old bachelor who was about to return to his hometown, this person was also unlucky, he thought that he had a bright future in the Hanlin Academy, but he offended important people one after another, and he could only stumble in it when he came and went, and was sent over to teach Zhu Youzhen, and he didn't put much effort into it, just teaching the other party to read and write, and occasionally when the interest came, he would sigh.
"Master, in this world, Liaodong is ravaged by the Jurchen Tartars of Jianzhou, the Tusi in the southwest is in turmoil, and there is turmoil in the Hetao, and this one is the most harmful?" The emperor's younger brother Zhu Youzhen asked very curiously, because he was in Beijing and often accompanied by the apocalypse, he knew the current situation and political affairs very well, and often asked this question.
No matter how perfunctory it is, teaching the emperor's brother homework, he always has to be thoughtful in terms of face, and outsiders can't seem to find faults, but this time Zhu Youzhen asked, but the bachelor was stern and said quite solemnly: "Your Highness, what Jianzhou Jurchen, Southwest Barbarians, and Hetao Mongolia are just scabies, and Xuzhou is a big problem." ”
The emperor's younger brother Zhu Youzhen was only eleven years old, and he was stunned when he heard this, and asked in a bit of confusion: "Master, isn't this Xuzhou a peaceful place?" That's the heart of the Ming Dynasty, right? ”
"Your Royal Highness may not know, there is a tyrant Zhao Jin in Xuzhou, he practiced private soldiers to transport smuggled salt, and also interfered in Cao Yun, this Zhao is cruel and strong, and is good at colluding with local corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and he is honest with the Ming Dynasty on the surface, but in private he is against the government and the court, and he is rampant, which is very harmful to the local government in Xuzhou." The master was filled with righteous indignation.
Zhu Youzhen's eyes widened when he heard this, and he said: "Why didn't such a tyrant catch him and go to prison, and let him run amok against the law." ”
The master sighed, and said with a face full of regret: "Your Highness, this Zhao Jin is extremely cunning, good at exploiting the loopholes of the king's law, the local government and gentry have been bought by him, and they have many protections. ”
Zhu Youzhen asked again, the master said impassionedly: "Those foreign Tartars just ask for some goods and food, our Ming is rich all over the world, give them some and send them away, but Zhao Jin is a big trouble, they stutter the meat of the Ming Dynasty, the scourge is the people of the Ming Dynasty, and they choke the lifeblood of the Ming Dynasty, if there is any change, it is really a big disaster."
"Your Highness, you think, the Tartar alien race is just a tiger wolf, and it is harmless to feed them a few pieces of meat, but this Xuzhou tyrant is a disease, this disease is getting worse and worse, but it is fatal, and the outside must be safe first, this is the most reasonable saying" The master talked about sex, and he played it at will.
Zhu Youzhen's childish face was full of horror, and then nodded quite solemnly and said, "I must tell the imperial brother about this matter, and let him send troops to suppress this thief." ”
The master smiled and nodded, a middle-aged eunuch standing behind Zhu Youjian had been bowing his head, but he looked up at this time, but he secretly pouted, of course they knew the origin of this master, but he was a person from Shanyang County, Huai'an Prefecture, and was born in a wealthy businessman's family. This old Hanlin, a professor Zhu Youzhen, naturally wants to do his best to slander.
If it is placed on weekdays, this old Hanlin will talk about it, it is nothing more than a mouthful, and this vassal king can't do anything after the domain, but now it is different, the eunuch Wei Zhongxian and Wei Gonggong are extremely taboo about the topic of Xuzhou, and this Zhu Youzhen often meets with the emperor, this topic is troublesome.
I don't know if Zhu Youzhen mentioned it to the Emperor of the Apocalypse, or if someone reported the past, a few days after the old Hanlin finished talking about this, he was sent back to his hometown by looking for a head, and Zhu Youzhen's writing homework was taught by a writing eunuch from the inner study.
"Your Highness, what are you doing here?" Cao Huachun saw that Zhu Youzhen was writing on the screen, and hurriedly went over to ask.
