Chapter 624: Civil Service Worries

Whenever I travel far away, I often bring a bag of soil from my hometown to understand the feeling of homesickness.

What does this bag of soil taken from Xiaoling Mausoleum mean?

But you can guess everything!

But you’ve guessed it, what’s next?

Things are realized, but what happens next?

The day after he got the bag of earth, Zhu Yu urgently received a message from the palace that the emperor was in poor health and asked him to stay in a guesthouse for a few days before summoning him again.

"Your Majesty no longer wants to summon me!"

After summoning Han Lin, Zhu Yujian had a bitter look on his face.

"Your Majesty hopes that the king will go out with an order!"

Han Lin sighed. When the prince said the "gift" given by the emperor yesterday, he knew that everything was over!

Only when traveling far away will you take a handful of native soil. What does it mean for your majesty to send soil to the king?

Isn’t it just to tell the king to let him go far away?

"Requesting an order to go abroad? I just want to ask for an order to go out of the feudal country, Your Majesty..."

Suddenly, Zhu Yujian's face became a little ugly.

"It's difficult. Could it be that His Majesty wants Gu Qing to emigrate to the country?"

In the Ming Dynasty, there were more than one or two people who moved to China after they came to China. Even Zhu Yujian had long regarded Nanyang as his hometown. There was the ancestral temple of the Tang Dynasty there. As long as the emperor revealed this intention, he would have to move to China.

"Immigration, Your Majesty, if it's just a simple emigration, why would Your Majesty do this! Your Majesty..."

Looking at the king, Han Lin couldn't help but sigh.

Although he had never passed the Jinshi examination, he was still a well-known scholar in Shanxi. This was why Zhu Yujian visited the thatched cottage and asked him to come out. Originally, Han Lin thought that His Majesty wanted to restore the ancestral system of Taizu using vassal kings to lead troops and manage local areas.

And he could show off what he had learned, but he never expected that His Majesty had other plans.

Thinking of this, he smiled bitterly.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid you are waiting for your Majesty's request to move overseas!"

"Move the feudal vassal overseas! Yu Gong, where do you come from?"

Zhu Yujian asked in surprise.

"Gu, what's the crime of Gu Gu? He will be driven thousands of miles away..."

He didn't dare to continue talking. Who was the last person to say this?

He was Chengzu's son and Xuanzong's uncle. How did he die in the end?

Roasted to death!

Really roasted!

Xuanzong ordered people to use a copper vat weighing 300 kilograms to detain him, then light charcoal around the copper vat and roast him alive in the copper vat.

Zhu Gaoxu was still the son of Chengzu, uncle of Xuanzong, and still close to him!

Who is he Zhu Yujian?

A mere Tang king, not to mention the blood relationship has long been estranged. Even if the blood relationship is blood, the blood relationship will not be as high as the family, the country, and the world!

Xuanzong could roast his own uncle to death.

That Ganshengye... and further down, Zhu Yujian didn't even dare to think about it.

"Because the prince is not guilty, your majesty hopes that the prince will take the initiative to ask for an order to move overseas, so that your majesty can explain it to the world!"

Han Lin's analysis made Zhu Yujian silent for a long time before he slowly uttered a sentence:

"But there is no precedent for establishing a vassal overseas in our country."

"There is no precedent for the former emperor's descendant to take the throne from a distant vassal!"

The late emperor’s heir is here!

Han Lin's reminder sent a chill down Zhu Yujian's back. He immediately understood that His Majesty's target was not him, but the late emperor's heirs who were still alive. They had not yet surrendered or sealed the country. As long as they were still in the Ming Dynasty,

Your Majesty must have trouble sleeping and eating.

what to do?

Either kill him or... go overseas, which might be a good choice.

But the problem is, Your Majesty can't just banish all the sons of the late emperor overseas!

But if he, the King of Tang, stands up now and takes the initiative to ask for vassalship overseas, it will be a way to share your worries. Your Majesty will naturally be able to grant the late emperor's heirs overseas in the future!

Your Majesty is really... really!

There are some things that you can think in your heart, but you cannot say them. If you are not careful, it may lead to disaster. After thinking for a long time, Zhu Yujian said:

"It seems that Ming Dynasty has no place to stand alone. It's just a pain for you, Mr. Han..."

"Since I am an official serving the prince, I should follow him!"

Han Lin's heart was full of bitterness. He never expected that His Majesty would have such a plan.

"Hey, Mr. Han..."

Sighing the emperor's skills in his heart, Zhu Yujian said to Han Lin,

"Please trouble Mr. Han to write a memorial to His Majesty. Don't let His Majesty wait too long."

Looking at the lonely figure of the king, Han Lin shook his head, a wry smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness in his heart. He sighed in his heart, His Majesty's imperial skills, but he had to choose his words, no matter what, this matter

The king of Tang proposed it on his own initiative to relieve the country's worries.



Although Nanjing in March is not as snowy and dripping with ice as it was in the first month, March of this year still carries a bit of winter cold.

Li Jiantai, a veteran of three dynasties and a cabinet minister, had just gotten off the sedan when a gust of cold wind blew in his face, blowing his neatly combed beard into messy places.

"The spring breeze in the south of the Yangtze River is also bone-piercing."

Li Jiantai said in his thick Shanxi accent while trimming his beard.

"I heard that Guangzhou also had a heavy snowfall this year, let alone Nanjing. It's coming soon. In half a month, the weather will ease."

Gao Hongtu, who got out of the sedan behind him, answered slowly. He also has a long beard, but it's not as long as Li Jiantai's. It only reaches just past the neck, so it won't be messed up by the wind.

The Cabinet Duty Pavilion is located on the right side of Zuoye Gate where the original Wenyuan Pavilion was. Because Wenyuan Pavilion had been burned down long ago, the current Duty Pavilion was rebuilt on the original foundation last year. Like the reconstruction of the palace, most of the wood used was

Taiwan wood.

As they were walking towards the duty pavilion, Lu Zhenfei, who was one step late, hurriedly caught up with them. When the three of them saluted each other, as soon as they entered the duty pavilion, officials reported there, and the chief assistant invited them to discuss matters together.

.

Please help, [app] allows you to steal book stamps like food. Come and steal your friends' book stamps to vote for my books.

When they arrived at the duty cabinet of the first assistant, they saw that in addition to the first assistant Song Xuezhu, the second assistant Zhang Bingwen was also there. Both of them were old ministers of Conglong who had shared life and death with His Majesty during the siege of Jinan. They are considered to be in high positions now.

normal.

As for Li Jiantai, Gao Hongtu, and Lu Zhenfei, their appointments were more balanced. For example, Li Jiantai was from the Sixth Army in Beijing, Gao Hongtu was from the Sixth Army in Nanjing, and Lu Zhenfei led tens of thousands of troops to surrender.

Following the current situation, rewards are also based on merit.

As the chief minister, Song Xuezhu, after beckoning them to sit down, he handed the zhezi to them.

"Look, this is Tang Fan's request for surrender."

"Oh? You should really go to China. It's okay to stay in Shanxi all the time."

Lu Zhenfei nodded. After all, he and Tang Fan were old acquaintances. In the 16th year of Chongzhen, Lu Zhenfei, then the governor of Fengyang, visited Zhongdu and went to the prison to meet Zhu Yujian. Lu Zhenfei had a good impression of him, so he sent

People took special care of the Tang king. Later, they reported to Emperor Chongzhen that the high-walled supervisors were abusing the clan, and Chongzhen ordered the death of Shi Yingzhao, the mausoleum supervisor who bullied the Tang king.

Now that I heard that the Tang Dynasty wanted to seize the country, I naturally expressed support.

"Yes, although the vassal prince's palace in Nanyang was damaged by the military, it is generally still intact. Let him directly become a vassal. The Ministry of Revenue will allocate tens of thousands of taels of silver. If it is not enough, you can add more."

Li Jiantai also agreed. As for the silver...in the national treasury, no, the national treasury is in the Ming Dynasty Bank, there are more than 70 million taels of silver. They are all sponsored by his fellow villagers. Now the court is rich! It's not that bad.

silver.

"It's not a matter of money. Tang Fan requested to move to the country,"

Song Xuezhu said.

"What! Move to another country! Move there?"

"Overseas Frontier!"

In an instant, several pavilions became mute,

Song Xuezhu looked at them and asked:

"These dear friends are all veterans of the Three Dynasties. Can you tell me how to prepare this piece of music?"

"My Ming Dynasty has never had a precedent of sealing a vassal king overseas!" After Li Jiantai finished speaking, Gao Hongtu agreed.

"The king is innocent, why should he be sealed away thousands of miles away?"

"That's the truth, but now our Ming Dynasty is different. In the past few years, there have been hundreds of thousands of Han people who have gone overseas. In the Hekou alone, there are 100,000 Han people."

"That's different,"

Li Jiantai said decisively,

"Exile, isn't it better to be exiled overseas? What's the crime of the vassal king? He should be exiled overseas?"

"But this is what King Tang himself requested?"

Second Assistant Zhang Bingwen said.

"It's true that the King of Tang asked for it, but if he is allowed, then the vassal princes will have to move to the country one by one!"

Lu Zhenfei, who had been silent all this time, had just finished speaking. Gao Hongtu said alertly:
Chapter completed!
