People from the fourth family are calm enough, do things more steadily, and consider things more thoughtfully. They can always handle a matter smoothly and quietly.
This is what my bastard cannot do.
When Zhu Gaochi also expressed clearly that as an uncle, he accepted the old man's abdication, which was a matter of great benefit to the country, Zhu Biao instantly became very interested.
Zhu Biao had a smile on his face and looked at Zhu Gaochi: "Brother Chi, tell me."
Zhu Gaochi changed his kneeling posture to sitting upright, straightening his upper body and clasping his hands together.
"My nephew thinks that the emperor's grandfather will abdicate and his uncle will ascend the throne. Firstly, it will allow the emperor's grandfather to cultivate with peace of mind and live a long life. Secondly, it will make the uncle's name justified. The current new policy in the country can also regain momentum and use the Hongwu New Deal as a
The ancestral teachings cannot be changed, and any disobedience to you must be eliminated."
These are all obvious benefits.
Zhu Gaochi spoke calmly, and Zhu Biao also listened quietly.
But he knew clearly that this nephew had more important things to say.
And he is also waiting.
Zhu Gaochi glanced at Zhu Yunxi's back at this time.
A long time ago, he was just the Crown Prince of Yan in Beiping City, and all he thought about was how Yan Fan could defend the nine-border defense line for the imperial court, and how the people in the north could live the same life as the people in the south of the Yangtze River.
Once upon a time, Yingtian City was an extremely distant place to him.
It was the capital of the Ming Dynasty.
For Zhu Gaochi, that's all.
Lao Zhu's hometown is outside Fengyang City.
Therefore, when he corresponds to Tiancheng, there is no talk of hometown and nostalgia.
In that year, the Yan Palace received an order from the imperial court, requiring the prince to bring his wife and children to the capital, while the prince's son stayed in the capital.
Zhu Gaochi's first thought was that Grandpa Huang was paving the way for his cousin whom he had never met.
All the princes and princes were detained in the capital as hostages.
This can ensure that the succession of the Ming Dynasty to the throne is orderly.
His initial impression of Zhu Yunxi was not deep.
I just heard that there is such a cousin who seems to be very weak-tempered.
But when he saw it with his own eyes.
He was a high-spirited young man with lofty ambitions and dreams.
His thinking is so out-of-the-box that he always spends more time thinking rather than responding in the first period of time.
Later, I slowly took over the affairs myself.
Beiping City and Yan Fan became a very small part.
Every day when I open my eyes, I think about the things happening in the world.
From the first day of junior high school, Zhu Gaochi was full of doubts.
Tianjia, can you really be undefended?
In the end, Zhu Gaochi accepted everything calmly.
This kind of heavenly home may be the best.
The country is changing with each passing day, and talents are emerging from generation to generation.
Zhu Gaochi's eyes flickered, and he said in a deep voice: "My nephew thinks that the most important thing about this matter is that I can set a precedent in the Ming Dynasty, and there is no need for the king to die before heirs.
The nature of human beings is that they are old and young, and their ambitions are only as old as their twilight years.
A sage like Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. After the founding of the Yuan Dynasty, Tianbao lost its glory, feudal towns were divided, the buildings of the former Tang Dynasty fell apart in an instant, and the Li family of Guanlong turned into dust and smoke after hundreds of years.
Learn skills when you are young, do things in your prime, and cultivate yourself in your old age. Only then can you follow the principles of heaven, earth, and human relations.
The emperor does not have to die as an heir, but he can also abdicate and abdicate the throne. This is what the ancient sage kings did. Now in the Ming Dynasty, the family is prosperous and the world is prosperous. In order to protect the king's sage and do not let him be indifferent for ten thousand years, he can abdicate in his old age and abdicate the throne in a young and strong person.
The country will be evergreen for thousands of years."
In the carriage.
Zhu Gaochi's small but powerful voice echoed.
Zhu Yunxi frowned, lowered his head slightly and glanced sideways at the fat man.
Zhu Shangbing, who was kneeling side by side with Zhu Gaochi, had his eyes widened and his mouth could have swallowed a whole egg.
His legs had begun to tremble.
If you say this, you will be severely punished.
This is to change the king inheritance system that has existed in the Central Plains for thousands of years.
See you soon!
I thought Brother Xi was already crazy enough, but I didn't expect Brother Chi to be even crazier!
Zhu Shangbing lowered his head and looked around helplessly.
He felt that he had smelled a hint of blood.
Zhu Biao fell silent, his eyes sinking slightly, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.
As for Zhu Gaochi's last words, they can actually be summed up in one sentence.
In order to ensure that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty would not become feeble in old age, he could abdicate when he reached old age.
This is a very significant change.
It can be said to be unprecedented.
Of course, the ancient holy kings must be excluded.
As for the concessions of emperors such as Li Yuan, they are not counted.
Once such a decision is made, it will be even more terrifying than the emperor simply giving in.
As long as the will is announced to the world, the world will immediately move.
Above the court, there will inevitably be endless storms.
No one knows what the consequences will be if this is really done.
Because people have no lessons to learn from.
Another possibility is that if the Ming Dynasty implements such a national policy, it is very likely that there will be several old emperors alive in the future.
When the time comes, can we avoid the interference of these old emperors on the new emperor?
Zhu Biao was thinking quickly.
The carriage rides leisurely.
The noise outside has gradually subsided, and it should be close to the imperial city.
Zhu Gaochi glanced at Zhu Biao and said softly: "As a result of human nature, young people are excited, middle-aged people are calm, and old people want to retreat. Throughout the ages, how many wise kings can still be as enterprising in their old age as when they first came to the throne?
If one can maintain harmony and uprightness, he can be called a wise king. But there have been many wise kings since ancient times.
My nephew is not just thinking about his grandfather’s holy body, nor is he trying to persuade his uncle to join him. Rather, he is thinking about the foundation of future generations of the Ming Dynasty. In his later years, the king should retreat bravely, and not let the country be dragged down by the dying king. "
When he said these words, he thought carefully about the situation of past kings in their twilight years.
It seems that there is really no king who can remain as sage and wise in his twilight years as he was at the beginning.
Zhu Biao's eyes moved down and were placed on Zhu Yunxi who was kneeling in front of him.
"You think so too?"
When he understood all Zhu Gaochi's thoughts, Zhu Biao immediately thought that this matter was most likely thought up by his bastard.
The entire Ming Dynasty dared to think and do this.
He is the only one left!
Zhu Yunxi raised his head and met the scrutinizing gaze of the prince's father.
He nodded.
Zhu Gaochi, who was behind him, immediately said: "What my nephew said today was not entrusted by Brother Xi."
Zhu Yunxi also said: "But my son did mention this matter in front of Brother Chi."
Zhu Shangbing knelt on the ground and silently moved back twice.
He was really afraid that he would be covered in blood later.
Zhu Biao sneered twice.
His eyes moved back and forth between Zhu Yunxi and Zhu Gaochi.
After a while, Zhu Biao leaned back and stared at the two people dimly.
"You guys really have a deep brotherhood..."
Zhu Yunxi and Zhu Gaochi immediately lowered their heads.
The carriage fell into silence again.
Outside, there was no movement at all. Only the shaking of the carriage let people inside know that it was still moving forward.
After a long time.
The carriage finally stopped.
Zhu Biao opened his eyes, revealing a brilliant light.
"Rong Gu will discuss this matter later."
Finished speaking.
Zhu Biao stood up and got out of the carriage.
Zhu Yunxi and Zhu Gaochi looked at each other and looked at each other.
Zhu Shangbing, on the other hand, jumped off the carriage as if fleeing from danger, stood beside the carriage with one hand on his hips and the other supporting the carriage, lowering his head and breathing heavily.
I was really almost scared to pee just now.
The emperor of the Ming Dynasty had to abdicate when he reached old age.
These two guys really dare to think about it.
Zhu Yunxi and Zhu Gaochi stepped out of the carriage one after another, glanced at Zhu Shangbing standing next to the carriage, and couldn't help but smile.
Zhu Gaochi raised his eyebrows and said, "Where was your courage before? I'm a coward!"
Zhu Shangbing straightened up immediately and glared at Zhu Gaochi: "Who do you dare to do it in front of? How dare I have the courage in front of my uncle? Even if you let my father come, he will have to behave in front of my uncle.
Just like a grandson."
quack……
Zhu Gaochi suddenly became speechless as a flock of big birds flew over his head.
This guy.
Seriously, I'm still generous.
Zhu Yunxi looked at the Jin Yiwei on the side: "Let the news go out and say that His Majesty is in ill health and will not attend court early. The royal family intends to abdicate."
The guard in brocade clothes immediately accepted the order, embroidered a spring knife on his waist, turned around and walked out of the palace.
Zhu Gaochi glanced at Jin Yiwei's back and then looked away.
Letting out the news about the old man was something that had been planned on the way back to Beijing.
In recent years, everyone in the Ming Dynasty has been severely oppressed because of the old man.
As long as there is an old man who can show his butcher's knife at any time, no one will dare to stand up and object.
This is very bad.
God knows how many people down there are dissatisfied with the current situation in the court.
Now that the old man is ill, this is a good opportunity.
You can take this opportunity to see how people who have always hidden their true thoughts and ideas will react when they know that Emperor Hongwu is old and has been sick one after another.
royal family.
Already ready for fishing.
…
News that the emperor fell ill one after another in Dayong County spread as the emperor returned to Beijing.
The cabinet was the first to know the news.
When the emperor docked at Longwan Pier, the cabinet learned about the emperor's situation.
Cabinet room.
The chief assistant, Ren Hengtai, looked solemn and did not say anything for a long time. The tea in his hand had already gone cold.
In front of him were Xie Jin, the deputy minister of the cabinet, and the cabinet ministers Gao Yangzhi, Zhai Shan, Xu Yungong, Mu Ying, and Li Jinglong.
The officials who used to take turns serving in the cabinet squad room from various departments and yamen have disappeared at this moment and have all hid outside.
"The tea is cold..."
Zhai Shan picked up the tea cup at hand and frowned.
Only when the sound came out did he realize that they were the only people in the office at that time.
You have to change the tea yourself.
Zhai Shan, the cabinet minister and the Minister of Civil Affairs, glanced at the tea table far away from him and gave up the intention of drinking tea. However, he took the opportunity to glance at everyone present.
Xu Yungong glanced at Mu Ying beside him, and finally looked at Li Jinglong.
Li Jinglong understood, clapped his hands on the armrests, and leaned forward: "We can't control what happens in the court. But the Governor's Office of the Metropolitan Governor, the Governor's Office of the Fifth Army, and the Yingtian City Soldiers and Horses Department will all cancel everything from today onwards.
Xiu Mu, all the troops and battalions are on standby. The Soldiers and Horses Division patrols the capital three times a day. The two sides of the Yangtze River are three hundred miles upstream and downstream, and the navy's river fleet patrols day and night. All major water and land routes entering Yingtianfu are under my command.
The soldiers and horses under the government are stationed there."
After finishing speaking, Li Jinglong released his hands, held them together, and leaned on the back of the chair behind him.
This was the first arrangement made by the Metropolitan Government after receiving the news that the emperor had returned to Beijing.
The military can always know certain things in advance than the civilian officials.
Ren Hengtai's brows moved and his eyes moved to Xu Yungong, the first person in the military.
This matter should have been decided by the Duke of Wei and the Governor's Office.
Today's Metropolitan Governor's Office, in addition to external conquests and internal suppression, is capable of self-determination in many matters.
For example, the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion is currently imposing martial law on Yingtian Mansion.
As long as they don't block Yingtian Mansion, then they just strengthen the alert, which can be decided by the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion.
A smile appeared on Ren Hengtai's face: "The Governor's Office is now busy. The Ministry of Revenue will allocate money and food as soon as possible to ensure the food and grass needs of the brothers in the army."
As he spoke, he looked at Xie Jin, who was in charge of the Ministry of Accounts and the Ministry of Works.
Ren Hengtai felt a little heavy in his heart, but at this moment he truly realized why the royal family wanted to bring people from the military into the cabinet.
It is to ensure that in the current situation, the military can not be restrained by civilian officials, so as to make every effort to ensure that the military does what it should do.
If it were him, the chief minister of the cabinet.
It will only strengthen the security inside and outside Yingtian City, and at most use the troops and horses, but will not let the Beijing army in Yingtian Mansion also move.
After all, nothing has happened yet, and there are no bad signs emerging. The large-scale use of troops is likely to intensify things.
In fact, this is also the difference between civilian officials and generals today.
Xie Jin, who was named, said, "Tomorrow, the food and grass needed by the army will be delivered."
After agreeing, Xie Jin lowered his head silently.
Zhai Shan looked around, and finally looked at Ren Hengtai who was sitting on the throne: "Your Majesty is currently ill, and as ministers, we should serve your Majesty with all our heart and stabilize the situation of the court. Fortunately, we have a prince who has overseen the country for many years. It's just that
At this moment, should we still issue an edict, ordering the vassal kings in various places not to move without permission, not to leave the vassal country privately without orders, and to have all the royal guards return to camp, and not to go out without orders?"
Although the prince is as stable as Mount Tai.
But the human heart is the most unpredictable in this world.
Zhai Shan has such worries and is also sorting them out.
However.
Gao Yangzhi, who had been silent until now, frowned and said softly: "What is Zhai Ge always guarding against?"
Zhai Shan was stunned for a moment and said, "It's just to be prepared..."
Gao Yangzhi snorted twice: "In the opinion of students, it is better to order the local governments to strictly monitor and govern the subjects. It has been winter recently, and it seems to be too cold, and everyone in the place has become lazy.
, many things under the New Deal have been delayed very much, it’s a complete mess! The cabinet should issue a written reprimand!”
The atmosphere in the cabinet squad room.
I was instantly ignited by Gao Yangzhi and became nervous.
