【】15 provided for you Chapter 921: Will this person accept it or not?
"The minister accepts the order"
Zhu Gaoxu raised his hands to receive the imperial edict, stood up with the support of two young eunuchs, and said to the eunuch who delivered the edict in a friendly manner: "It's been a hard journey, let's go and rest, dukankan, to win q coins," the eunuch bowed to the prince and agreed.
The sound was that he was escorted down by the Prince's Mansion Officer Yiyi.
After the eunuch who delivered the order left, Zhu Gaoxu turned around, with a still confused expression on his face. What jumped into his eyes was Yang Shiqi, who had just stood up. Yang Shiqi also looked confused and walked away with the two children.
Inside, Yang Shiqi said: "Prince, the emperor has ordered all ministers to discuss moving the capital? Doesn't the emperor intend to come back?"
Zhu Gaoxu smiled bitterly and said: "The emperor's actions are unpredictable. Although I am your majesty's son, it is difficult for me to predict that the emperor will stay in Beijing permanently. That is not necessarily true, but... the emperor has issued an edict to discuss moving the capital. He has already made up his mind. As for why the emperor
I don’t know much about it before I come back and order the ministers to discuss it first.”
Zhu Di intends to move the capital. Most of his close officials have already noticed this. There are many clues to this. As a minister, you serve the king, so how can you not try to figure out what he means?
For example, after he ascended the throne, he immediately promoted Beijing to the rank of lord, sent important ministers like Qiu Fu to garrison Beijing, and sealed King Zhao in Beijing. In the fourth year of Yongle, he sent ministers to start expanding the palace city of Beijing. Over the years, he continued to migrate people to the vicinity of Beijing.
The mausoleum of Duke Zhu Neng was built in Beijing. After his beloved queen passed away, the Zi Palace remained unburied. The court called for Feng Shui master Liao Junqing, and the emperor ordered him to go to Beijing to find "good soil"...
All these manifestations indicate that the emperor intends to move the capital to Beijing, but no one expected that the emperor's decision would come so quickly.
The Ming Dynasty had always discussed moving the capital. Ever since Zhu Yuanzhang decided to make the capital Jinling, he was not very satisfied with Jinling within a few years. However, moving the capital was a major event. Even with Zhu Yuanzhang's dictatorship, he did not dare to make a rash decision. He had been preparing for many years.
, waited until the country was completely settled, and then sent Prince Zhu Biao to inspect Chang'an, where he preferred to make the capital.
As a result, Zhu Biao died of illness not long after returning from Chang'an. Zhu Yuanzhang was already old and the emperor's grandson was young, so the proposal to move the capital was shelved again. When Zhu Di came to the throne, the discussion of moving the capital was spread again.
Inside and outside the court, even if it was just a casual discussion, some courtiers seriously raised objections to the emperor.
Today, it was finally brought up clearly, and Wu Baiguan had to face up to this issue. The reason for Zhu Di's decree was that a member of the Beijing Ministry of Foreign Affairs named Li Xun suggested to the emperor to move the capital, and the emperor forwarded this memorial.
When he came to Nanjing, he ordered the ministers to discuss
In fact, anyone with a discerning eye would already know that this is a stone-throwing issue, and how big a deal it is to move the capital. How dare a small-time minister to come and discuss the matter rashly? Even if he really dared, the emperor would take it so seriously.
Send this memorial to Nanjing for discussion by all officials?
It is obvious that this Yuanwailang named Li Xun was instigated by someone else. It is unpredictable whether the person who instigated him was the emperor himself or Zhu Gaosui, the king of Zhao in Beijing. If this is the idea of Zhu Gaosui, the king of Zhao, then it is obvious that it has been
Zhu Gaosui, who had grown up and firmly held the position of vassal king, had already coveted the position of crown prince.
But whether this is the intention of King Zhao or the emperor himself, it is obvious that the emperor himself is willing to move the capital.
Yang Shiqi asked: "Prince, what should we do with this edict...?"
Zhu Gaochi said: "What else can we do? Tell the ministers the emperor's will clearly and ask everyone to discuss it."
Yang Shiqi said anxiously: "Prince, moving the capital is a big matter, and of course I am concerned about it. However, the emperor did not return to Nanjing, but sent an edict to the ministers to discuss moving the capital. It is obvious that he will not come back for a while. What should we do here in Nanjing? Timur's empire is in trouble
What should we do with the two envoys who are fighting hard? The King of Han has the power to supervise the country, how can we be sure that he will not do anything else?"
Zhu Gaochi was actually more anxious than he was. They had already made various arrangements based on the King of Han sending people to assassinate Yang Xu, and they would launch them immediately when the emperor returned to the capital. Unexpectedly, the emperor suddenly issued such a decree, which immediately derailed them.
Didn't Ji Gang secretly tell the emperor the truth about Yang Xu's assassination?
No, even if Ji Gang conceals it, Dongchang's secret information has been reported early. According to the plan, the vanguard of this "unfortunate" is Ji Gang, and Dongchang is the second echelon. Once Ji Gang refuses to try his best, Dongchang will jump
Therefore, although Dongchang's secret report did not explain everything, it not only explained various things that happened in Nanjing recently, but also implicitly pointed the suspicion at the King of Han. With the emperor's sophistication, An Neng was unaware of it.
Judging by the time, this urgent report should have arrived in Beijing long ago, at least before the emperor's decree was issued. Why did the emperor turn a deaf ear to this? Relocation is a major national event, but it is not something that cannot be waited for. What will happen if the emperor does this?
What are you thinking about?
Zhu Gaochi couldn't figure it out, so he had to ask Yang Shiqi to meet Yang Pu first. The two of them discussed a proper way to communicate with the cabinet first, and tried not to make it appear that the emperor's decree came out of the blue or too hastily, so as not to cause hundreds of problems.
unnecessary speculation
Yang Shiqi and Yang Pu hurriedly discussed and decided to say hello to the cabinet. Tomorrow, they would first publish the memorial of Li Xun, a foreign minister in Beijing, in the imperial newspaper to let all officials know that there was such a voice in the court, and then send the emperor
The edict was announced to the ministers
After Zhu Gaochi heard the report, he nodded in agreement, and Yang Shiqi hurried to the cabinet. Zhu Gaochi wanted to go back to the back hall and instruct the princess to go to Fu Guogong Mansion in the name of condolences to Yang Xu and inform him of the emergency because the emperor
With this sudden move, all their original plans had to be revised.
Just as Zhu Gaochi was about to leave, Yiyi came back and reported: "Prince, Chen Ying from the Metropolitan Procuratorate wants to see you."
Zhu Gaochi was stunned after hearing this. He didn't think it was strange for anyone to come to see him, but Chen Ying... This was even more surprising than the sun rising from the west. The first member of the Han King's staff actually came to see him.
Zhu Gaochi thought for a while, waved his hand and said: "If you don't see me, just tell me that I'm not feeling well. If you need anything from him, just ask the Minister of Economic Affairs and Communications."
As soon as Zhu Gaochi turned around, he suddenly turned back and called out, "Have he ever said what it was?"
Person B: "No"
Zhu Gaochi thought for a moment and then asked: "Is he wearing official uniform or regular uniform?"
"official uniform"
Zhu Gaochi slowly walked a few steps in the hall and ordered: "Go and invite him in."
Yiyi bowed, turned around and walked out. After a while, Chen Ying was brought in. Chen Ying put on her hat and leather belt and was dressed grandly. She came up to the palace and saw Zhu Gaochi standing there. She quickly knelt down and worshiped: "Your Majesty, Chen Ying, have you seen me before?"
Prince"
Zhu Gaochi said: "Master Chen, please call me. Although I am in charge of the country, I am not a human being. If you don't have very important matters, it is not appropriate to meet at the official residence. I wonder if Master Chen is here today. What is the important matter?"
"The old minister has something important to report to the prince."
Chen Ying stood up slowly and said in a deep voice: "The food shortage in Yunnan is endangering Annan. The prince is far-sighted. In order to help the people of Yunnan and relieve the crisis in Annan, he ordered merchants to be summoned. This is a major event that benefits the country and the people. It is related to
Due to the success or failure of the Annan War, there were many powerful and high-ranking officials who either went to battle naked or entrusted their relatives to benefit from it."
Zhu Gaochi said with emotion: "Is this happening?"
Chen Ying said: "Yes, princes, governors... many families have their children transport rice and salt. If they are willing to transport rice to Yunnan and help the people in danger, there is nothing to hate these people. They will buy all the old rice first.
The rice is broken and mixed with dirt and sand. When the grain arrives, it will be doubled.
They were supposed to get one stone and three tons of rice for every rice imported, but they demanded two tons and three tons. They were greedy, surly and arrogant. If the officials of the salt fields did not agree, they would rely on their power to abuse and oppress the powerless people and businessmen who transported the rice.
Suppressing them in every possible way, not allowing them to exchange rice for salt, then buying them at a low price, reselling them, and making a profit, is unbearable.
For the prince, Shang Na was a policy to relieve the suffering of Yunnan and the danger of Annan to the court. For the prince, it was a wise decision made by the prince to supervise the country. How could it be ruined in the hands of these social worms?
Once this arouses public resentment, I am afraid that the prince will be sent out to hear the news. The old ministers will be very anxious, so they rush to report to the prince.
This kind of phenomenon should be stopped in time. I should ask the prince to issue an order to prohibit officials and their families from transporting rice and selling salt. Those who compete with the people for profits but bully and dominate the market, buy and sell by force, use power to simplify, and strangle salt officials will be severely punished without mercy.
Write a memorial about this matter and report it to the Emperor at the same time. Please ask the Crown Prince. This is a copy of the memorial that I sent to the Secretary of General Affairs."
After Chen Ying finished speaking, she took something out of her sleeve, held it up with both hands, and respectfully presented it to Zhu Gaochi. Zhu Gaochi took it and opened it. Sure enough, it was a memorandum written to the emperor. The content was exactly what he had just said.
, the memorial of the Secretary of General Affairs has to be reviewed by him before being sent to Beijing, so this copy cannot be fake.
Chen Ying then said respectfully: "In the Metropolitan Procuratorate, I also ordered the Yunnan Road Envoy to investigate the case carefully and select young and capable envoys to focus on patrolling Yunnan. Because the matter is so important, I am afraid that the memorial will not be clear enough and delay the Crown Prince.
It is a major matter, so I rushed here to report to the prince, Prince, if there is anything imperfect in what I have done, please tell me, and I will correct it immediately."
Under this situation, Chen Ying was really dedicated to serving the country, especially in this memorial, which clearly explained the significance of the prince's strategy of opening up business to Yunnan. If this memorial was sent to the emperor, if Yunnan was really
If something goes wrong, and it even affects the Annan war situation, the prince's responsibility can be cleared to the greatest extent.
Zhu Gaochi was surprised and told Chen Ying that this was a matter that the Supervisory Yuan system was responsible for. He really didn't know at the moment. If this matter was not noticed in time and he just sat back and watched the bad things happen, there would be no big mess. By then, he would be the supervisor of the country.
, this policy came from him, and it became an indelible stain on his governance.
Chen Ying reported these situations in time, which was only good for him, not bad, but only good... Weasel paid Ji a New Year's greeting, was it a kind intention? Zhu Gaochi gave Chen Ying a steady look and said slowly: "This matter is of great importance.
, Now... the King of Han is also in charge of the country, has Mr. Chen ever reported this matter to him? Does the King of Han have anything to do about this?"
Chen Ying leaned forward and said: "The King of Han bravely conquered the three armies, and he was the tiger general of the court. However, when it comes to running the country and managing state affairs, it is not the King of Han's skill. What's more, summoning merchants and accepting them is the decision of the prince. The prince is the crown prince of the country. Although he is also the prince,
In order to supervise the country and whether it is a major military matter, it is more appropriate to report to the prince and make a decision."
When Zhu Gaochi heard this, he finally understood Chen Ying's purpose. Chen Ying was asking for directions, intending to surrender.
Duke Fu was assassinated, and the prince faction made intensive preparations to destroy the King of Han's struggle for the crown prince in one fell swoop. Although the King of Han was a prince, it would not be easy to kill him, but if he wanted to pull the big tree of the King of Han away from the capital, they would not know how to do it.
How many branches were blown off and how many roots were pulled out. Chen Ying, an old fox, actually smelled danger...
Zhu Gaochi's heart was pounding: Chen Ying is scheming and has the power to speak out. This is the mouthpiece of the imperial court and a force that can be used openly on the table. This is an advantage that Jinyiwei and Dongchang cannot compare with. Now as long as
With a little hint, Chen Ying and the power controlled by Chen Ying can...
Should I accept this person?
