Chapter 620 Sending the princess out of the capital
The first order was passed very smoothly. After all, the interests of the imperial princes were not very big, and even if they had some, they couldn't get involved, so the emperor could do whatever he wanted, and no one would come.
To sing the opposite, even Lan Tian's informants in the court would not jump out to oppose it. After all, they knew that they had no objections and might become the target of the court princes.
The first command is completed.
For the second order, Chongzhen waved his hand, and Wang Chengen said: "Today's second topic, Your Majesty expresses his gratitude to Lantian County Magistrate Li Chaosheng for his unparalleled loyalty and bravery, and for his dedicated efforts for the country. Now he is going to personally send someone to send the eldest princess to Lantian to express his gratitude.
"
As soon as the imperial edict came out, the ministers below all looked at each other with strange expressions. They had also heard about Lantian's divorce. They felt that the emperor would feel more comfortable after being humiliated in this way. Zeng Xiang even sent the princess away for the second time.
I'm in Lantian. Isn't this a shame?
After all, the eldest princess is a princess of a country and represents the face of the Ming Dynasty. Now in order to curry favor with a courtier, when the princess clearly stated that she is not willing to marry the princess, she once again sent the princess to someone else's territory to express condolences. You, her mother, are too
So shameless.
This is the princess of the Ming Dynasty, not a singer in Goulan. How can she be so humiliated?
Thinking of this, an old man with a white beard came out from among the ministers, knelt on the ground and said: "Your Majesty, no, the princess is the face of the Ming Dynasty. The Lantian child blatantly refused your Majesty's marriage, which was already a treasonous act. Now your Majesty will do it again."
By sending the princess over, wouldn't it only increase the arrogance of this villain? It would also put the face of Ming Dynasty on the ground and let the young people trample on it. Your Majesty, by doing this, you can live up to the ancestors of Ming Dynasty and block the people of the world.
Youyou’s mouth.”
"If Your Majesty insists on doing this, the Ming Dynasty will become the laughing stock of the world, the imperial authority will disappear, and in the end the country will lose its generals!"
After hearing what the old minister said, Chongzhen glanced at the old minister. He looked familiar. He seemed to be from the Hanlin Academy. This group of Qing Hanlin all considered themselves to be noble. They always had high standards and low skills. They talked to others and looked at the sky with their nostrils. They especially liked not talking to others.
In actual work, the imperial court used them to build memorial arches. Precisely because these old Hanlin regarded themselves as moral benchmarks, when they saw that the emperor had no shame for Li Chaosheng, they immediately quit and knelt on the ground to oppose the emperor's continued conduct.
Something that humiliated Ming Dynasty.
Chongzhen's face was a little red after being told by the old man, but before he could think of how to refute the old man, he saw Zhou Yanru, the chief minister of the cabinet, standing up directly, pointing at the old man and yelling: "Old man!"
Zhou Yanru screamed like an old man with gnashed teeth, which made the old man tremble all over. Then he looked at Zhou Yanru in surprise, thinking that this old man was sick. This voice almost scared him to death.
At this time, Zhou Yanru's eyes were red and he was staring at the old man as if he were about to spit fire, and he cursed: "Old man, how dare you humiliate your majesty like this? For the sake of the Ming Dynasty, your majesty did not hesitate to send the princess on an envoy to appease the thieves. This is an eternal act.
What a famous monarch can do is comparable to that of Han Xin in ancient times, who could endure the humiliation of his crotch. But you, an old man, are used to being a noble and aristocratic scholar. You only know how to gain fame and reputation. Do you know how difficult the Ming Dynasty has become?
You actually dare to scold His Majesty in public. You are committing a capital crime. I would like to ask Your Majesty to punish this officer for the crime of disrespect!"
After Zhou Yanru finished speaking, he saluted Chongzhen. Chongzhen didn't say anything when he saw this. At this time, Chen Xinjia directly said: "I second the words of Mr. Zhou Ge. Your Majesty has worked hard for the Ming Dynasty and can even tolerate Lantian's rude request. Take it seriously."
I am moved to the heavens and the earth. This old man dares to speak arrogant words to Your Majesty. It is simply unacceptable. Your Majesty, please issue an order to kill this officer's head as a warning to others, and to save the incompetent people in the world from barking and annoying people.
.”
"You, you guys!"
The old man was almost angry to death. At this time, he tremblingly stretched out his fingers and pointed at Zhou Yanru and Chen Xinjia, but he could not say a word.
At this time, Zhou Yanru looked at the old man and thought to himself that this incident was originally caused by himself. The purpose was to sacrifice a princess in exchange for the stability of the Ming Dynasty. Apart from the disgrace of the royal family, this incident did not cause any damage to the interests of the princes of the court.
, but what does it mean that you, an old gangster, jumped out to object? When did the imperial court need an old gangster like you to come out and cause trouble?
Therefore, Zhou Yanru jumped out and yelled at the old guy regardless of his status. For a big boss like Zhou Yanru to appear first, it was a signal. This signal meant that there was no room for negotiation in this matter. All Zhou Yanru's faction
Officials can carry out the most brutal attacks on this person in turns.
So after the two big bosses Zhou Yanru and Chen Xinjia came to an end and clarified the matter, all the remaining civil and military officials came out to criticize the old Hanlin in the most cruel words. The words he said were quite unpleasant and made the old man angry.
Hanlin's beard trembled wildly, and he fainted in the court hall without even breathing.
Seeing this scene, everyone knew that this old Hanlin was finished. He had insulted so many princes and ministers in the court, so what good end could he have? Moreover, among the people, his reputation was also finished. At least he was a person who was just trying to gain fame.
The title cannot be taken off, but Old Hanlin is not afraid of offending the emperor.
Offending the emperor's civil and military ministers will bring him fame. If the emperor kills him with a stick, it will be even worse. He will be praised by the civil and military ministers and leave his name in history.
But if he offended the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, that would be the end of it. He was once a member of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty. Of course he knew how the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty dealt with a person. The emperor had the power of life and death, but if he killed them, they would
How many people dream of becoming famous and leaving a name in history.
Therefore, the ministers are not very afraid of the emperor, but they are very afraid of offending most of the officials who serve in the same palace. If they are isolated by these people, they may not lose their lives, but the reputation they cherish most in their lives will be stinky.
.
You must know that the world's public opinion is in the hands of these civil servants. They have great power over the imperial court and have disciples all over the world. Moreover, they are the top aristocratic families in the local area. For the local people, the county magistrates may take turns.
Change, but these aristocratic families will remain unchanged for a long time and will rule them forever.
An official represents the local power in this place. If he offends the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty, basically all the aristocratic families in the world will know that he is a person who is seeking fame and reputation. Then wouldn't his life be over?
All the ministers were the ancestors who acted according to the circumstances. Seeing Zhou Yanru speak at this time, they immediately said that this old Hanlin was a person who was seeking fame and reputation. The old Hanlin immediately fainted. Of course, he might have been pretending to be faint. After all, this
In this case, he will definitely feel better if he is dizzy than if he is not dizzy, so he will be dizzy even if he is not dizzy.
"Your Majesty, this old thief fainted!"
At this time, someone saw Old Hanlin fainted and couldn't bear to remind Chongzhen. Only then did Chongzhen wake up from the state of watching the excitement. In the past, these bastards were so excited that they still dealt with him. This time, seeing them dog biting dog, Chongzhen felt that it was better.
Don't have any fun.
"Well, what the ministers said is absolutely true. Mr. Zhou Ge, how do you think we should deal with this officer?"
After hearing this, Zhou Yanru looked at the old Hanlin who was pretending to be fainted on the ground and said: "Your Majesty, according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, disrespecting Your Majesty is a death penalty. However, Your Majesty, I think this officer is old and weak, and has been an official for many years. He has no merit but also hardship."
If it’s too much trouble, why don’t we just dismiss this guy from his post, send him back to his hometown, and never hire him again.”
After hearing this, Chongzhen nodded and said: "Well, that makes sense, then just follow what Mr. Zhou Ge said, remove this official from office and never hire him again. Come and drag him out."
"yes."
Soon a guard standing guard at the door dragged the person out, and Old Hanlin dragged him away. Chongzhen looked at Zhou Yanru, and Chen Xinjia said: "Do you think I was right or wrong in sending the princess to Lantian again?"
After hearing this, Zhou Yanru said directly: "I think that your majesty's move is really a blessing for the Ming Dynasty. Your majesty, regardless of personal honor and disgrace, is willing to let the princess marry Lantian for the sake of the Ming Dynasty and reward the country's pillars. This is what Ming Jun did.
I believe that your Majesty’s move is quite right. Compared with personal honor, the lasting stability of the Ming Dynasty is what your Majesty should consider.”
"I second my opinion. Your Majesty is able to let the princess marry Lan Tian for the second time regardless of personal honor and disgrace. This is a great perseverance. I believe that what your Majesty has done is truly a model for famous kings throughout the ages. If the princess can really be exchanged for Lan Tian's allegiance, it will definitely be
The great fortune of the Ming Dynasty is your majesty’s great fortune.”
At this time, Chen Xinjia also started to flatter him, and he was as explicit as possible, almost openly praising Chongzhen, and Chongzhen didn't think there was anything wrong. After all, he had sent his daughter away, so he endured the humiliation.
It's really unreasonable for you not to say a few nice things about me.
To put it bluntly, Chongzhen is now moved by himself. When a person is moved by himself, he dares to accept all unrealistic compliments from others.
Because he felt that he had endured the humiliation, he should have good results. Just like Chongzhen now, he felt that he had let go of his self-esteem and gave his most beloved daughter to Li Chaosheng again. Li Chaosheng should be extremely moved.
, if you feel that the emperor's favor is great, you should be willing to serve Chongzhen, and you should help Chongzhen conquer the world.
After all, he put down his dignity for Li Chaosheng and dedicated his most precious possessions to Li Chaosheng. Why shouldn't Li Chaosheng accept it?
At this moment, Chongzhen was like a licking dog who was carried away by love, thinking that if he gave all his beautiful things to the goddess, the goddess would be moved and be with him.
In fact, they don’t know that women are never chased. When you are good enough, women will climb up the pole to chase you. And when a man regards a woman as a goddess, he will unconsciously dwarf himself.
Well, God can only be with God, how could he be with ordinary men like me.
Therefore, whether you are chasing a woman or working, you are most taboo about being moved by yourself. Just like at work, if you are smart and work overtime for the boss without complaining, you think that the boss will definitely see your efforts and will definitely reward you in the future.
.
But in the eyes of the boss, you are just a useful labor force, and if you work overtime, it is of your own volition. If you want to increase your salary and reap benefits, you can wait until the next life.
Therefore, self-impression is the most desirable, and the same is true for emperors. When Chongzhen was self-impressed, he felt that he had done a lot. If Li Chaosheng refused once, would you refuse a second time?
My majestic emperor of the Ming Dynasty is so groveling. You should not be moved to the ground, wishing you could bow before you. Even if you don’t bow before you bow, shouldn’t you marry my daughter and become my son-in-law obediently?
In Lantian, I would like to thank the emperor for his great kindness and please don’t give me any trouble at this time.
Therefore, Chongzhen also felt that he was quite great. Not only was he great, but he also endured humiliation. He was comparable to Goujian of the Ming Dynasty. He worked hard and endured hardships. And one day, he would lead the Ming army to sweep the northwest and capture Li Chaosheng alive. The shame of today's blood should be known to him.
The best emperor in the world is yourself.
Chongzhen was moved by himself and praised by the civil and military ministers, and issued a second decree, ordering Cao Huachun to lead three hundred royal guards to escort the princess to Lantian to pay condolences to Li Chaosheng, the honorary of Lantian County, and to bring some not very valuable royal items given by the emperor.
thing.
After all, the valuable Chongzhen was ready to rush into the inner treasury to solve the financial problems of the Ming Dynasty, but he had no spare money to reward Li Chaosheng. The reason why he asked the princess to bring something to Lantian was mainly because Chongzhen felt that Zhu Yurao was too sensible, and he
You should bring something for your daughter, otherwise she will be looked down upon by Lantian when she arrives.
Therefore, Chongzhen gritted his teeth and asked Princess Changping to take some things to Lantian.
The imperial edict was issued, and the princess had one day to prepare and two days to leave the capital. Two days passed like this. Accompanied by the eunuch Cao Huachun, Changping Princess Zhu Auao left the capital for the first time.
In the Forbidden City, Empress Zhou held Zhu's hand and refused to let go, as if she was about to send her daughter to the execution ground.
"Mother, the time has come."
Zhu Aona looked at Queen Zhou with tears in her eyes. Queen Zhou wept silently when she heard this and said: "Daughter, be more careful when you go to Lantian. I heard that Li Chaosheng is a cruel person. Many wealthy families in Lantian have had their property confiscated."
, the land has driven them out. If you disagree even slightly, you will be beheaded. You must be careful when you go this time. Don’t offend the murderer. If that doesn’t work, escape back quickly. Don’t think about anything to follow.
As for the idea of dying together with him, you have to remember that your mother will be with you at all times."
Zhu Ainao said: "It's the Queen Mother. I know. Then I'll get in the car."
"媺娖, sister!"
Zhu Aina turned around and wanted to get on the carriage. At this time, Queen Zhou called out again, and the two young princes also called out. Zhu Aina smiled and said: "Okay, you all go back, and you two, study hard, don't
It makes the Queen Mother angry, you know?"
"knew."
Zhu Cixiang and Zhu Cijiong responded at this time. After saying this, Zhu Yurao looked back at the palace where he had lived and the father he wanted to see. However, Emperor Chongzhen did not come to see him off today. Zhu Yurao was disappointed and blocked the carriage curtain.
Cao Huachun said: "Eunuch Cao, let's go."
"yes."
