Chapter 23 The worried prince
Zeng Yunfeng also recently learned that Emperor Zhu Di's triumphal honor guard was assassinated. It seems that this time there will be another bloody storm in Nanjing.
In fact, what Zeng Yunfeng values more is the current prince Zhu Gaochi. Even though he is a bit fat now, he is probably more scheming than his father.
Although the prince Zhu Gaochi may not be very good at fighting, he should be very good at governing the country. At least many civil servants are headed by him. Emperors like Zhu Yuanzhang are really rare. He deposed the prime minister and took over all the power, but everything big and small is still important.
No matter, he still lived a long time, which is quite remarkable.
Other later emperors could not hold on. Very few of the later emperors of the Ming Dynasty actually went to court every day to handle government affairs. The key was that they could not hold on. By the time the Wanli Emperor came to court, they would go to court every day.
It seems that Prince Zhu Gaochi has not done anything, but he has gathered many important officials of the court under his command, and the affairs of the country are being managed well.
But Zhu Di's other two sons were a little confused. They thought they were in charge of the army, but the actual situation was that all the army generals were loyal to their father Zhu Di, and they did not have the power to mobilize the army's food or the army.
inside.
They didn't even have the money to pay the army. They were so irrational in opposing the prince. They always thought they had the upper hand. What the prince was really afraid of now was his father.
Zhu Di also kept beating his prince Zhu Gaochi, because the courtiers and the prince were too close, and the emperor was a little scared.
Zeng Yunfeng also couldn't understand this family. The three of them, Prince Zhao, King Han, and the others were upright brothers. They were both father and mother. How could they fight with each other?
Although Zeng Yunfeng didn't admire Zhu Di too much, the Yongle ceremony was still well compiled.
This is also the place where Zeng Yunfeng is most satisfied with Zhu Di, the place where he is most satisfied with Zhu Di, and the place where Zhu Di can show off to Zeng Yunfeng the most.
Zhu Di always regarded the Yongle Ceremony as his most satisfying political achievement.
Zeng Yunfeng took the time to read the Yongle Canon from beginning to end, which he had not finished yet. The content was indeed very rich. The Yongle Canon has more than 20,000 volumes, more than 10,000 volumes, and nearly 400 million words, all in classical Chinese. You can imagine what it is.
Such a vast masterpiece.
Every time he went to various worlds, Zeng Yunfeng read almost all the books, thirsty for knowledge, but it was not that the Yongle Canon was not blindly revised by Zhu Di. Some of the contents were changed beyond recognition, and many Confucian arguments were changed.
Zeng Yunfeng also often went to the storage room of the royal books to read the books, and by the way, he gave instructions to Xie Jin to compile the books, and forget about changing other things. But be sure not to compile the wrong medical skills, which may harm others and yourself.
But Zeng Yunfeng is still very satisfied with his wife. His wife is from Zhejiang, but she seems very cheerful and very smart, but she talks little.
Zeng Yunfeng specially taught her how to train her mind, and she didn't know if she could learn it. Looking at it over the past few years, she still has some clues. After a while, there may be certain results. Not everyone can do this.
Huang Yaoshi didn't learn it well back then.
There are only a few servants in the Chen family, and a few more little ones have been added in recent years. In fact, they don't need too many, and they don't have any effect.
It took Zeng Yunfeng ten years to take in several children and teach them since they were young. Now they are all brave and powerful enough to look after the home and the home.
Even if they are pulled out to be a charging general, it is not ambiguous at all. When they grow up, Zeng Yunfeng will send them to various places to start families and start businesses. The capital is really a place of right and wrong, and these people will be one of the reserve generals.
.
Zeng Yunfeng had deep doubts about this Ming Dynasty, because Xie Jin was not the chief minister of the cabinet, but a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy. Many things were inconsistent with history, and it was very likely that it was another strange and different world.
You don’t need too many people in your family, you just need quality. First, you need to be loyal, and second, you still need to be loyal.
You can ignore others, you can cultivate those with poor abilities, and you can guide those who are not very smart, but if you are not loyal, everything will be false.
Just like the several dowries brought by his wife, Zeng Yunfeng found fault with many of them, and there were also spies arranged by others.
Zeng Yunfeng didn't want to insert so many informants in his yard, so he found a reason to send this informer out. His wife was simple-minded and couldn't control these informants. Fortunately, she also cleaned them all up and didn't care about the emperor.
idea.
No matter what era or place you are in, you must always have some backup options.
Zeng Yunfeng has been on patrol in the past few years and has left behind a backup force in many places.
It is very troublesome for a person to work in the court without eyes and ears. It is like a person who is blind and deaf. He cannot see or hear. Many things fall from the sky to his head, and he does not know where they come from.
Smashed over.
Sometimes Zeng Yunfeng doubted what Zhu Di's sons were doing. Zeng Yunfeng had figured out the whereabouts of Emperor Jianwen, but Zhu Di's sons still couldn't figure it out, especially King Zhao who was in charge of Jinyiwei North Town Fusi.
In recent years, Zeng Yunfeng also met a very interesting person at Jiming Temple in Yingtian Prefecture. He was Yao Guangxiao, the prime minister in black.
Yao Guangxiao wanted to seek enlightenment and enlightenment, but he didn't understand many things. On the contrary, he went further on the road of politics than cultivation. Zeng Yunfeng wanted to learn his calculation method the most.
I often like to communicate with him. The prime minister in black, Yao Guangxiao, also likes to listen to some of Zeng Yunfeng's amazing words and admires his foresight and extensive knowledge.
Zeng Yunfeng often went to Yao Guangxiao's place to drink tea. To be precise, he went to Yao Guangxiao's place to have tea and snacks. This old boy was a monk but he was very good at eating.
"You've heard about recent events, right?" Zeng Yunfeng said after taking a bite of snacks.
"Assassination!" Yao Guangxiao said without stopping counting beads and without opening his eyes.
"This pool is very deep!" Zeng Yunfeng said lazily, leaning back.
Yao Guangxiao smiled and said nothing.
"The tea has been eaten, and the snacks have been tasted. The people who are supposed to come are coming, and it's time for me to leave!" Zeng Yunfeng shook his sleeves and stood up to leave.
The dim sum made at Yao Guangxiao's place is really good. After Zeng Yunfeng's guidance, the dim sum making monk Huiqing there has become better and better in craftsmanship and craftsmanship.
Therefore, Zeng Yunfeng went more frequently.
Another person also often came to Yao Guangxiao's place, that is, Zhu Di. He hated Zeng Yunfeng a little and often came to Yao Guangxiao's place to scold him together with Yao Guangxiao, but Zeng Yunfeng always missed him.
Zhu Di, who often came to Yao Guangxiao's place, ate his dim sum and found that the dim sum here was getting more and more delicious, even more delicious than the ones in his own palace. Then he asked again: "Why are the dim sum here so good?"
The more delicious it comes!”.
"An unknown scholar taught Hui Qing how to do it!" Yao Guangxiao said with a smile.
"I don't know the name?" Zhu Di asked in confusion.
"He said he didn't want to know who I was, which was troublesome! He didn't want me to know who he was, which was even more troublesome! So he didn't ask about the past, just chatted, had tea, and waited for someone, that's all." Yao Guangxiao gave Zhu Di a cup of tea.
said.
"Waiting for someone?" Zhu Di asked curiously.
Yao Guangxiao smiled and shook his head without answering.
But Zhu Di felt that he really shouldn't ask. After asking, he became even more angry. Could Zhu Di not know who it was? The person waiting for him was not him anyway. He would leave as soon as Zhu Di came. Although Zhu Di is not a person who is easy to compare, but
Every time Zeng Yunfeng is mentioned, I want to compare with him.
Zhu Di just refused to accept it. Yao Guangxiao looked at Yongle Zhu Di in front of him and the snacks in front of him and got excited. In fact, it was quite fun. Yao Guangxiao smiled and continued pouring tea without saying anything.
In fact, there are many people in the current Yongle Dynasty who can get along with Zeng Yunfeng, such as Xie Jin, a scholar in the Hanlin Academy. He is a proud man who relies on his talent and does not look down on people who are inferior to him.
Zeng Yunfeng is one of the people he can look up to. In terms of talent and learning, Zeng Yunfeng is no worse than him. In terms of calligraphy, Zeng Yunfeng is better than him. In terms of his ability to govern the country, Zeng Yunfeng is a few steps ahead of him.
He was a few blocks away from Zeng Yunfeng, who had no poetic talent.
What is the most lacking thing in the Ming Dynasty now? What is lacking is money and food. The Yellow River in the country is overflowing, severe droughts, floods, and disasters occur frequently.
Yongle Emperor Zhu Di was thinking about how to fight the Mongols. He also needed one thing, money and food, especially money.
