Chapter Five Hundred and Ninetieth Arrangements Before Departure [1 More]
After receiving the imperial edict, Wang Hua and several cabinet ministers did not have any expectations for getting up from Prince Wu's Mansion to persuade Chu Yi. They knew Chu Yi's temperament very well. Even the emperor had no way to deal with Chu Yi. If so,
It would be strange if they came over and were able to persuade Chu Yi to change Chu Yi's words.
As they said, this visit was more due to the emperor's will.
At this moment, seeing Chu Yi reject Yang Yiqing, Wang Hua and others gave up the idea of speaking again. Since Chu Yi had made up his mind, it meant that no one could change Chu Yi's mind.
Instead of persuading Chu Yi to change his mind, several pavilion elders thought it would be better for them to persuade the emperor.
It would be best for the emperor to back down and agree to Chu Yi's request to sail to the West. In this way, they would not have to be in a dilemma between Chu Yi and the emperor.
Yang Yiqing and others were very knowledgeable. After confirming Chu Yi's attitude, they changed the topic to some political affairs in the current government. It happened that some important decisions were made, and Yang Yiqing and others asked Chu Yi for advice.
Although Chu Yi can't talk about going to court, it doesn't mean that he knows nothing about things above the court. Regarding some major world affairs, Chu Yi still gives some targeted suggestions. As for whether these suggestions will be accepted by Yang Yiqing and others.
If you accept it, it depends on Yang Yiqing's consideration.
After all, Chu Yi could not guarantee that all the suggestions he made were in line with Ming's current situation. Whether his suggestions could be implemented would be judged by Yang Yiqing and others.
After all, Yang Yiqing, Wang Hua, and Chen Ding were all the pillars of the imperial court. Compared with Chu Yi in terms of talents and learning, the only difference was their vision and knowledge, which were hundreds of years ahead of them.
After almost an hour, several pavilion elders got up and left.
Watching several cabinet elders leave, Chu Yi stood there, and soon saw a small sedan returning to Prince Wu's Mansion. A figure stepped down from the sedan, who was it if it wasn't Yang Yiqing, the chief minister of the cabinet.
Chu Yi nodded slightly to Yang Yiqing, and then the two of them walked into the courtyard one after another and sat down where the previous few people had sat.
Yang Yiqing looked at Chu Yi and asked with some curiosity: "Is there any order from the chief manager to keep me here?"
In Yang Yiqing's view, the emperor would definitely not be able to survive Chu Yi. Since Chu Yi was determined, going to the Western Seas would definitely be the inevitable result.
It's hard to say how long it will take for a voyage to the West. If the fleet led by Chu Yi has traveled far enough, it will take at least one or two years from departure to return.
After Chu Yi left for a year or two, there would definitely be some changes in the court. Yang Yiqing thought that Chu Yi must have something to tell him when he stayed.
As one of the core figures of the King Wu Party, no matter what Yang Yiqing thinks, in the eyes of the world, he is a member of the King Wu Party, and this does not depend on Yang Yiqing's will.
Yang Yiqing actually didn't mind the label of King Wu on him. Yang Yiqing didn't regard Chu Yi as a scourge like those old stubborns.
The most important thing is that under Chu Yi, he can be reused and his talents can be brought into full play.
Yang Yiqing asked himself that he was extremely talented, and there were only a few people in the court who could match him. Even many important officials in the court, Yang Yiqing was actually not convinced, but Yang Yiqing was convinced by Chu Yi's abilities and methods.
oral.
Seeing the change in Yang Yiqing's expression, Chu Yi knew that Yang Yiqing had misunderstood his intentions.
Shaking his head slightly, Chu Yi straightened his expression, looked at Yang Yiqing and said slowly: "Master Yang, do you think that if I don't appear again one day, will the Ming Dynasty continue in accordance with my expectations?"
Chu Yi spent so much effort to finally pull Ming out of the abyss bit by bit. Moreover, he and Zhu Houzhao have been united as monarchs and ministers for so many years, and their relationship is naturally very deep. If you really want to say it, in this world, although Chu Yi
He was a little reluctant to let go, but there weren't many people that he really couldn't let go of, and one of them was the Emperor Zhu Houzhao.
Zhu Houzhao's temperament meant that he was not the kind of cruel and ruthless emperor. Chu Yi was really worried that once he left this world, it wouldn't take a few years for the foundation he had laid for Zhu Houzhao to be counterattacked by some people.
, destroyed every life.
It's not that Chu Yi underestimated Zhu Houzhao, but that he had no hope at all for some scholars.
While he was still there, those people kept making little moves, not to mention that once he left, there was no guarantee that those people wouldn't have any thoughts without him.
Even Chu Yi had no idea where the Ming Dynasty would go after he left. Even though he had left Zhu Houzhao with a better situation now, with Yang Yiqing, Wang Shouren and others in the literature, and Han Kun in the military.
, Yu Dayou and others, but people can change. Today's loyal ministers will all change once they reach high positions.
Some ministers may be loyal, but there are also loyal ministers who will gradually develop dissent. Sometimes, depending on where you are and what choices you make, people's hearts can change. I'm afraid not even gods can control people's hearts.
Yang Yiqing was stunned by Chu Yi's question. He felt a thump in his heart. He looked at Chu Yi in astonishment and said in a trembling voice: "General Manager, you..."
Chu Yi shook his head slightly and said: "Master Yang, you don't have to think too much, you just need to tell me that if the king of Japan is not here one day, will Ming Dynasty be able to continue as it is now?"
Yang Yiqing's heart was filled with turmoil, and he tried hard to calm down and calm down. Chu Yi knew just by looking at the change in Yang Yiqing's expression that Yang Yiqing was definitely not calm at the moment, so he allowed Yang Yiqing to calm down without urging Yang Yiqing to answer him.
After a while, Yang Yiqing finally calmed down a little and cleared his thoughts. After pondering for a while, he looked at Chu Yi and said slowly: "General manager, time can change everything. Ten or twenty years may not change anything."
, but if time goes by, everything will change. Maybe by that time, even His Majesty’s thoughts will change..."
Chu Yi nodded slightly and sighed: "Yes, people's hearts are changeable..."
In fact, Chu Yi himself could also think that the reason why Yang Yiqing was kept here was nothing more than a kind of self-deception on his part.
Waving his hand, Chu Yi picked up the tea and said to Yang Yiqing: "Thank you, Mr. Yang, for clearing up my doubts."
Yang Yiqing didn't even dare to say anything, so he stood up and said goodbye to Chu Yi.
Watching Yang Yiqing leave, Chu Yi couldn't help but cast his eyes in the direction of the palace, and gradually a gleam appeared in Chu Yi's eyes.
Chu Yi could only be heard whispering softly: "Your Majesty, with the foundation I have laid for you, as long as your Majesty can stick to your point of view and implement these policies, it may not be impossible for the Ming Dynasty to be passed down for hundreds of more years."
But what Chu Yi was worried about was whether Zhu Houzhao had the perseverance. The temptation of being the emperor was too great.
The most important thing is that Zhu Houzhao is still too young, only in his thirties. Although he is considered an adult in this era, Zhu Houzhao practices Taoist health-preserving techniques. If nothing else, he will not be able to live for another few decades.
None.
Over the years, Chu Yi has been by Zhu Houzhao's side, always giving advice, restraining, admonishing, and encouraging Zhu Houzhao, so Zhu Houzhao gradually became like a wise king.
If one day, without his advice and advice, even Chu Yi can't guarantee whether Zhu Houzhao will change his appearance as a wise king.
There are many examples of people who were wise kings in the first half of their lives and became weak kings in the second half of their lives. Among others, the most representative one is Li Longji. This is a living example.
"It seems that we must leave some thoughts and motivation for Zhu Houzhao!"
Chu Yi already had a rough plan in mind as to how he would leave. In the final analysis, he was going to leave by sailing to the West.
Originally, Chu Yi planned to leave quietly, but who made Chu Yi feel too worried about Zhu Houzhao, so he had some different thoughts about his original plan.
Not mentioning the change in Chu Yi's mind here, he said that after Zhu Houzhao issued an order to several ministers in the cabinet, he sulked in a large hall.
This hall was where Zhu Houzhao often came in his spare time. It was where Chu Yi, Liu Jin, and Gu Da used to accompany him to study and practice calligraphy when he was the prince.
I recall that Liu Jin, Chu Yi, Gu Dayong and others accompanied him to study here. Now think about it, Liu Jin and Gu Dayong have all passed away, and Chu Yi is the only one left.
However, Chu Yi caused so many things again. Chu Yi didn't want to put all his thoughts on the court, so he chose to resign, and he agreed.
Now Chu Yi made another request to go to the West. In Zhu Houzhao's view, it was clear that Chu Yi wanted to leave the capital and did not want to stay with him.
"Daban, do you want to leave me alone in this capital?"
Rubbing a wooden sword hanging on the wall, Zhu Houzhao murmured softly.
In the evening, a figure hurriedly entered the palace. It was none other than Yang Yiqing, who had left Prince Wu's Mansion.
Xiwen Hall is inconspicuous among many halls, and is not even a main hall in itself. However, it was named by Zhu Houzhao and became the most special hall among the many halls in the palace.
Outside the main hall, two chamberlains stopped Yang Yiqing and said, "Sir, your Majesty, when you entered, you ordered that no one should disturb you."
Yang Yiqing knew that Zhu Houzhao might not be in a good mood at this moment, so he was not angry when the two chamberlains stopped him. Instead, he nodded at them and said: "In that case, would you like to ask, Your Majesty Tongbing?"
, I said that my minister Yang Yiqing has something to ask for and wants to see His Majesty."
The two chamberlains looked at each other with a look of hesitation on their faces. Zhu Houzhao's face was clouded for most of the day. They had never seen him like this after serving him for so long, so after hearing Yang Yiqing's words, they felt a little bit in their hearts.
He hesitated, fearing that he would be angered by the emperor if he entered the palace.
