Xu Ming'er puffed up her chest and said: "Of course. [] Although I, Xu Ming'er, am a daughter, I also know the principle of repaying kindness. If you owe someone a favor, you should repay it. Besides, Ming'er is not ungrateful.
, Helping him to do evil, the Yang family has indeed gone too far to bully others. By the way, Uncle Huang, Yang Xu was not called Yang Xu at that time, his name was Xia Xun. If he hadn’t come to my house for help this time, I wouldn’t have known this.
Yang Xu is Xia Xun from Peiping, I really don’t understand why he changed his name.”
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said: "I am not a god, how can I know? I will ask about this later."
Zhu Yuanzhang was talking, but he was thinking anxiously in his heart: "A ten-year-old girl should not lie in front of me. From what I know, Xia Xun and Xu Zengshou do not seem to be friends. So
Come on, it is indeed because of Ming'er that Yang Xu was able to get into the Xu family. If that's the case, then it doesn't matter.
In Zhu Yuanzhang's heart, what he worried most about was that his ministers would fight with each other with ulterior motives, and use this opportunity to form cliques, form parties for personal gain, and divide factions to control the court and shake the imperial power. Especially at this time, he was gradually transferring power to the emperor's grandson.
, it is even more necessary for the stability of the court, which is an overriding strategy.
The people behind Yang Xu's lawsuit are the Taifu and the Shanwang Mansion. Once the competition starts, more and more officials may be involved, leading to a big turmoil that cannot be calmed down.
From this point of view, how can we know that Yang Xu's case is not a wind flag thrown by some conspirator? If the Shanwang Mansion just came out to help the little princess because she owed someone a favor, it would not be a big deal.
, so there is no need to be too cautious.
At this moment, a young eunuch tiptoed in. Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at him and said to Xu Ming'er: "Go to Baoqing. That girl likes you the most. She even wanted to mention your name two days ago."
Xu Ming'er agreed and ran out. Princess Baoqing is Zhu Yuanzhang's youngest daughter. She is less than four years old this year. The little princess is very bored in the palace. She really likes Xu Ming'er, a lively and cheerful young lady, the most.
.
When Xu Ming'er went out, the kind and peaceful expression on Zhu Yuanzhang's face disappeared, and he returned to his usual cold and serious expression: "What's the matter?"
The young chamberlain did not dare to breathe. He raised his chin and said softly: "Back to the emperor, news came from outside the palace. The students said that there was injustice in the governor's office of the Fifth Army. They carried the injured Yang Chong to the Imperial College first.
, followed by the Gongyuan and the Ministry of Rites, and then blocked the street to complain to the censor, and now I went to the Confucius Temple to cry..."
Zhu Yuanzhang raised his long eyebrows, and a surge of anger arose. He was a very strong-minded person who always kept his word and acted arbitrarily. The students were trying to create public opinion and force the court to make concessions to them, which immediately aroused Zhu Yuanzhang's strong resentment.
Provoking the imperial power was the last thing Zhu Yuanzhang could tolerate. Although he cherished his people, his ultimate starting point was not for the sake of the common good, but for the stability and long-term stability of his family and the world. A group of imperial students gathered to cause trouble.
That's fine, but if there is someone else behind them, what is this person's purpose?
Zhu Yuanzhang did not forget that Huang Zicheng, who had made a sudden appearance in the Yang Xu case, was the tutor of the current emperor's grandson. His every move may affect the future emperor. If there is his political purpose here, it will
This cannot be taken lightly.
When Zhu Yuanzhang governed the country, one Confucianism and the other Legalism, both hard and soft, went hand in hand. One and the other martial, they strived for balance and did not want to weaken either party. The way of balance is not only reflected in the power of the emperor, but also the key to governing the country, bringing order to the family, and bringing peace to the world. Now
The power of the imperial court can reach a delicate balance, which is the effect that he has worked hard to adjust over the years. These are the two pillars that support the great world. If one is too strong, or the other is too weak, there will be a building.
Danger of capsizing.
Considering that the emperor's grandson is weak, future emperors will continue to maintain their careers and rely more heavily on officials. In the future, the power of officials will inevitably become stronger and stronger, and eventually there will inevitably be an embarrassing situation like that of the Southern Song Dynasty. Zhu Yuanzhang also
Consciously let the current Wuchen group maintain a stronger force than the official group, so that in the future, the balance of military forces can be maintained for a longer period of time.
Zhu Yuanzhang was a man of great talent and strategy. In fact, every step he took was carefully considered. You may think that it is not the most mature and scientific method, but it must have Zhu Yuanzhang's own considerations and reasons. He opened the Eight-gut Examination to obtain a scholar.
It is not to strengthen the official group, but actually to control the official group.
It's just that although the idea was good, the actual effect was not good, because he could not do everything personally, and it was still the officials who actually controlled the power of talent selection. The so-called disciples of the emperor could not change this fact, so the results that Zhu Yuanzhang wanted were not achieved.
In this case, preventing the official power from becoming too strong can only ensure the existence of the military attache group.
In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang's worries were not unreasonable. The dramatic growth of official power in the following hundreds of years did evade the emperor. They dreamed of making the emperor a "saint king" who would do nothing but do nothing. The result was that each generation of emperors was in conflict with the emperor.
A huge official group was engaged in a fierce power struggle. Ming Wuzong, Ming Shizong, Ming Shenzong...
They were dismissed as absurd by the officials. The essence behind the appearance was actually a struggle for power. This kind of internal strife was not good for the country at all. The official group was dominated by one family, and it did cause very serious consequences. Zhu Yuanzhang would never give him any more gifts.
Under his will, the Ming Dynasty never increased taxes until the end of the Ming Dynasty, becoming the dynasty with the lowest taxes in history.
But the people are still suffering. One of the important reasons is that the official group is its class and its reserve group: all the scholars who have gained fame and the gentry class are greedy for welfare, do not pay taxes, do not serve in the military, but they are still the richest
As a result, there are more and more people, and the responsibility of supporting the entire world will eventually fall on the poorest people.
Zhu Yuanzhang put his hands behind his hands and pondered for a long time, and his expression gradually became serious. He had to figure out what role Huang Zicheng played in it, and how much this incident had to do with him. If Huang Zicheng was trying to use this matter to suppress the Xun Qi Wuchen Group
, in order for him, the Tutor, to control the power in the future and let the official group and his family dominate, this poisonous weed must be pulled out.
Zhu Yuanzhang slowly stood up and said to the young eunuch: "Xuan, Jin Yiwei commanded the minister Luo Ke to come to the enemy!"
Xiao Qianyue and Xia Xun were sitting by the window of a teahouse at the foot of Jilong Mountain, slowly sipping tea and looking at a house not far from the window.
Xiao Qianyue said leisurely: "Are you here? It's right here."
Xia Xun nodded: "Well, he just got a beating, and I'm afraid he won't come out for a while. But if my sweetheart gets beaten, she will definitely find a way to see him as soon as possible, so... keep an eye on him, he just
Flesh wounds, a young and strong man will heal them in a short time."
Xiao Qianyue chuckled, sipped her tea and said, "Okay, then when will we do it?"
Xia Xun said: "Has everything been investigated by the Yang family?"
Xiao Qianyue said: "Not yet, someone has already gone to the Ministry of Household Affairs to check Yang Rong's grain collection and customs clearance. Today is different from the past. We can't just go and check it out. It will take some time."
Xia Xun said: "Okay, the preparations are ready over there, let's start here."
After saying that, Xia Xun drank the tea and stood up, Xiao Qianyue also stood up and walked out, saying: "Master Luo appreciates you very much. It is not that there are no people around you, but there are a few handy ones missing."
Man. So, after finishing this matter, my lord plans to keep you as an errand in the Capital Command.
You used to work in Qingzhou. In order to prevent King Qi from hearing the news and becoming suspicious, you just took advantage of these two cases and said to the outside world that you were introduced by King Shan's Mansion. Mr. Luo gave you this official status. If you have a resume, Mr. Luo will
I’ll create a new book for you. If the emperor asks, you can’t be so careless. Your Excellency will mention to the emperor that you once helped Prince Qi..."
Xiao Qianyue laughed and said, "Every prince has his own way of making money. The emperor is not ignorant, but he loves his son and pretends to be confused on purpose. You won't mention anything else you did.
I just say that it is inconvenient for the prince to come forward to do business, so you will take care of everything. Because of this relationship, my lord is selling the prince's face to give you, a man who has retired after success, a background. The emperor is a smart man and will not ask too many questions.
.Otherwise, if something scandalous about the prince is revealed, the emperor will not be able to pretend even if he wants to."
Speaking of this, Xiao Qianyue's smile suddenly stopped, and a strange expression slowly appeared on his face. Xia Xun already felt it. Seeing that he looked weird, he asked: "What's wrong?"
Xiao Qianyue took a breath slowly and said with a half-smile: "Interesting, someone is actually staring at the top of our Jin Yiwei!"
Xie Yufei never believed that Xia Xun would ignore the humiliation of her parents' coffins being dug out of their ancestral graves, so she had been secretly watching Xia Xun's every move.
In fact, she has nothing to do with Xia Xun now. She could have stayed out of the matter, but she still came. Is it because of Xia Xun's sympathetic and understanding look in Peking that a man dies for a confidant? Or is it because Xia Xun is willing to accept it?
In response to her unwarranted accusations, he obediently broke off the engagement, saved her face, and repaid her kindness? Or was it because Xia Xun was not allowed to talk about another marriage within three years, giving her a vague hope?
She also couldn't understand her precise thoughts. In the past, she had a clear purpose in everything she did, but this time, she didn't.
She disguised herself and sneaked behind Xia Xun. Suddenly, Xia Xun and Xiao Qianyue slipped into the crowd. She couldn't help but hurry up and quickened her pace. But just after taking two steps, she suddenly felt a warning sign: "That's not right."
!It’s deceitful!”
Xie Yufei immediately turned around and dodged toward the crowd, disappearing in a blur.
However, the female snitch is very capable, so is the secret agent in brocade a vegetarian? Xia Xun and Xiao Qianyue stared closely at her looming figure, and a counter-tracking began...
