After Zhu Yong went out, Yang Qing hurried in to report. After a while, he came out and smiled at Zhu Zhanji and said: "Your Majesty, your Majesty, please come in."
Although Zhu Zhanji had met the saint countless times, he was particularly nervous this time. He straightened his robes, took a deep breath, put on the most suitable face, then quickly entered the bedroom, knelt down in front of Zhu Di's bed, and did not say anything
When he opened his mouth, tears welled up first. His black face was filled with grievances and helplessness. It was really hard for him.
"Okay, don't cry." Zhu Di sighed, his eyes wandered for a moment, and he said slowly: "You are you, the prince is the prince, don't worry."
Zhu Zhanji's hanging heart was relieved, but he heard the emperor change his subject: "I just don't know if you can separate it too?" After saying that, Zhu Di stared at him closely, with a pair of hazy eyes,
There is clearly a sharp light.
"The grandson can naturally separate them!" Zhu Zhanji did not hesitate for a moment and said categorically: "The grandson cannot agree with what his father did."
"Oh...then what do you think?" Zhu Di asked with interest.
"My grandson believes that Grandpa Huang is far-sighted and has established a foundation for eternity, so naturally he firmly supports it!"
"Well..." Zhu Di said with a smile on his face: "I read that right, my Zhu family's Thousand Mile Horse is not bad, not bad. Help me get up and walk around."
After being praised by the emperor's grandfather, Zhu Zhanji felt as if he had eaten a ginseng fruit. All the 36,000 pores in his body opened up. The fatigue of being up all night was swept away. He got up from the ground and helped the emperor up with his hands and feet.
Put on his shoes and help Zhu Di walk two steps in the hall.
Zhu Di's face turned pale and there was a slight sweat on his forehead. Seeing this, Zhu Zhanji hurriedly helped the emperor sit down on the recliner and added a pillow to him. After he was adjusted to comfort, he went to pour water for the emperor.
Zhu Di took the teacup and took a sip of the strongly brewed fragrant tablets. This was his habit for many years, and Zhu Zhanji naturally knew it well. After drinking the tea, he gained some strength. Zhu Di sighed and said, "I can't do it if I don't accept old age.
This body is so angry and tired."
"Grandpa Huang, what you said is wrong. You are in the prime of spring and Autumn and your body is healthy. You are just a little ailing. You will be able to shoot again when spring comes." Zhu Zhanji said with a smile.
"I hope so." Zhu Di said slowly: "However, I really have to put more burdens on you, so you are lazy." Then he looked at Zhu Zhanji and said: "You have studied government affairs with me for several years, how about it?
?Do you have the confidence to take care of me for a while..."
"This..." Zhu Zhanji's heart pounded when he heard that the emperor asked him to act as an agent for state affairs! Zhu Zhanji naturally couldn't ask for it, but... this should be the prince's errand, and the emperor asked him to do it over his father's shoulders.
How can he deal with his father, the majestic Prince Ming?
"If it's embarrassing, forget it," Zhu Di saw his troubled face and said calmly: "There is also your third uncle..."
"My grandson, of course I am willing to share the worries of Grandpa Huang, but..." Zhu Zhanji expressed his position hurriedly as if he had been stung on the butt.
"Just what?" Zhu Di's tone was cold, as if he couldn't bear to discuss this topic with him.
Zhu Zhan basically wanted to say, if this happens, what will my father do? But seeing Zhu Di's attitude, he changed his words to: "I am just worried that I am inexperienced, miss the country's affairs, and lose the love of the emperor."
"Hahaha..." Zhu Di laughed happily and said: "It doesn't matter. When you encounter major issues, you can ask me. On daily matters, you can consult the cabinet. Yang Shiqi, Yang Rong, and others are all capable ministers selected by me. I am the grandson of Fu Bi.
I will definitely do my best.”
"In this case," Zhu Zhanji also smiled and said with the same joy: "My grandson is more respectful than obeying orders."
"That's very good," Zhu Di said: "I will then announce the decree to the court, and the emperor's grandson will act as the agent of the court!"
"I obey the order!" Zhu Zhanji knelt down respectfully to accept the order...
"What?!"
When Zhu Zhanji returned to Wang Xian's house, it was already dark. Wang Xian had been waiting there for a long time. When he heard about the emperor's appointment, he suddenly felt that it was extremely ridiculous: "This is clearly an attempt to drive a wedge between you father and son! Are you so easily fooled?
!”
"If I don't agree, Grandpa Huang will give this job to my third uncle!" Zhu Zhanji said with aggrieved expression: "What do you want me to do? I can't just watch my third uncle take charge of the government, and most of them are married to the country, right?!"
"How could the emperor let King Zhao manage the government?! He wouldn't be so confused!" Wang Xian shook his head decisively and said: "It's just a trick to force you to submit."
"I can't take that risk!" Zhu Zhanji muttered.
"You are blinded by eating lard!" Wang Xian couldn't help but sneered.
"You!" Zhu Zhanji's dark face flushed red, and he glared at Wang Xian fiercely. He wanted to say, "Find out your identity," but he couldn't say it anyway.
Wang Xian also knew that he had said what he said, so he said patiently: "Your Highness, brother, we are brothers fighting tigers, and father and son are fighting in the battle. You and His Highness the Crown Prince are one, and this kind of thing that will cause father and son to turn against each other is extremely rare."
I can’t agree to that!”
"What's the use of talking about it now?!" Zhu Zhanji waved his hand impatiently and said: "Grandpa Huang has already issued an order! It's hard to stop flooding, do you understand?"
"Then you should go back and speak clearly to His Highness the Crown Prince, and at least minimize the conflict." Wang Xian said earnestly.
Zhu Zhanji was about to agree, but remembering the conflict with his father last night, his face darkened again and he said, "I won't go!"
"Go ahead."
"Not going."
"Go ahead."
"No!" Zhu Zhanji jumped up irritably and yelled: "Don't stand and talk without hurting your back! It's true that one side is my father, but the other side is my grandfather! How uncomfortable it is for me to be caught in the middle,
Do you know?!" He pointed at Wang Xian's nose and shouted: "If you can convince my father with your words! Why do you only ask me to obey my father and not ask him to obey his father?!" Finally, the emperor
His Highness Sun said: "As long as my father can bow his head to Grandpa Huang, I will definitely ask Grandpa Huang to hand over the state affairs to my father as soon as possible!"
After saying that, Zhu Zhanji walked out angrily. Wang Xian was spat on by him, so he helplessly took out a handkerchief to wipe his face, and asked behind him: "Where are you going?"
"I want you to take care of it!" Zhu Zhanji's voice disappeared in the howling north wind.
"Sir," when Zhu Zhanji walked away, Wu Wei, who was standing beside him, said, "It's better to stay less involved in the emperor's family affairs."
"Yes, people have to have a long memory." Wang Xian nodded, and said with deep understanding: "Since no one can persuade anyone, then don't waste your efforts to make people dislike you." After saying that, he sighed again, obviously he had no intention of doing so.
It's as easy as said...
Beijing Imperial Palace Qianqing Palace.
The emperor's decree was quickly issued, and the government and the public were in an uproar. Officials speculated about the emperor's deep meaning in making this arrangement. Although there were different opinions, they were all very similar. They all believed that the emperor was punishing the prince by flattering the grandson... There were also different opinions.
The young man has some complaints about His Highness Taisun's refusal to reject the imperial edict and put his father in an embarrassing situation...
But no matter what others said, His Highness Taisun still took on the important task of acting as an agent of the country from that day on. The first order the emperor gave him was to punish his father...
"What crime do you think the prince deserves?" Zhu Di was almost turned into a vegetative state by the prince's anger, so naturally he would not let it go.
"The prince has done something wrong, but the grandson is his son. It goes against the teachings of the saint for a son to discuss his father's fault." Zhu Zhanji had already responded and replied calmly: "Please give me your instructions, grandson, please follow them."
.”
"Haha..." Zhu Di smiled and said, "Slippery."
Seeing that Zhu Di was not really angry, Zhu Zhanji felt relieved and said with a smile: "Grandpa Huang, please be considerate of your grandson. You won't dare to be sloppy in other matters."
Zhu Di liked Zhu Zhanji talking to him like this, nodded with a smile and said: "Okay, I won't embarrass you. You ask Yang Rong and the others to draft an edict..." After a pause, the emperor obviously had an idea in his mind, and slowly
He said: "Let the prince shut up and think about his mistakes. When will he figure it out, when will he come to see me again?"
"According to the order." Zhu Zhanji agreed happily this time.
"Also, another decree is to order the Ministry of Industry to cast the imperial city's four gate talismans and the night patrol talisman. The talisman and the token are divided into two halves. From now on, the inspector will hold the left half, and the guards will hold the right half.
When the guard met the inspector who came to inspect, the bronze talisman was consistent and he was engaged." Zhu Di was obviously highly vigilant about what happened the day before yesterday, but the emperor knew very well that there would be no results in pursuing it, because everyone acted conscientiously and had no plans.
Before the meeting, could An identify his loyalties and traitors? Therefore, he could only remedy the situation through the system to prevent problems before they happen: "I will then order Cheng Guo Gong to be the Imperial City Guardsman, and Zhao Ying, the Admiral of the East Factory, to be the Imperial City Inspector."
"Yes." Zhu Zhanji naturally had no objection to this and did not dare to have the slightest objection.
"Also," Zhu Di said another decree: "I decree that the officials, the Six Ministries of Nanjing, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the monasteries, and the commanders of the Fifth Military Governor's Office will immediately hand over their official duties to their deputies on the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month.
If you arrive in Beijing before New Year's Day, you will be fined one year in salary if you are overdue by one day. If you are overdue by five days, you will be demoted three levels. If you do not arrive before New Year's Day, you will be removed from the official position and will be sent back to your place of origin and will never be used again."
"Yes..." Zhu Zhanji knew that Grandpa Huang had become cruel and would rather offend officials all over the world than move the capital to Beijing...
The emperor issued three decrees in one day. The second one was okay, but the other two were like thunder, piercing the north and south of the Yangtze River, causing an uproar in the Ming Dynasty officialdom... The officials were heartbroken and filled with grief and anger, as if they were mourning the death of a concubine and wanted to live or die. However,
Enough pretense, almost all the senior officials whose names were called went on their way obediently, much to the disappointment of the lower-level officials who had high hopes for them.
Speaking of which, Zhu Di knew his officials best. He knew that those high-ranking officials who had been in the officialdom for twenty or thirty years and finally surrendered were the easiest to surrender. As long as these people go north, they will open their doors in Beijing next year.
An imperial examination selects one or two hundred more Jinshi, all of whom are retained in Beijing. With the addition of senior officials who were originally in Beijing, a complete central official system is established.
As for those who make the most noise and yell the most fiercely, let them stay in Nanjing and enjoy the flowers and birds...
