Da Ming Tai Shi

Chapter 214

This year, Qi De was also very unhappy, so on the seventh day of the lunar new year, he invited Huang Zicheng to his home to drink away his worries.

"Shang Li, what's wrong with you?"

At the banquet, Huang Zicheng watched Qi De sinking his head into the drink with a bitter face, and couldn't help being puzzled.

Looking at this year's winter solstice, Zhu Yuanzhang is going to give Zhu Biao the seat of Zen. We ministers in the hidden residence of the Eastern Palace will all soar into the sky. It is said that we should be happy. You, Qi De, have nothing to worry about.

"Brother Zicheng doesn't know something." Qi De sighed, his voice was low, and he said in a very disappointed mood: "Last year I spoke to the crown prince, saying that when the winter solstice abdication ceremony is held this year, when all the feudal lords enter the capital to congratulate, Then take advantage of the trend to abolish the kings, and the prince agrees."

"Isn't this a great thing?"

Huang Zicheng himself is also very much in favor of cutting the vassal. Hearing that, he is very happy, not only happy for Zhu Biao but also for Qi De.

"The prince is open-minded and accepts advice. Shangli has made a great contribution this time."

"Ah."

Zid was slightly drunk, and his drooping head was lifted for a while, showing a self-deprecating look.

"Did I make meritorious service? What meritorious service did I make? Is it useful for someone Chen Yunfu and Chen Da Yushi to speak of my words?"

"This is, what happened?"

Huang Zicheng didn't understand what was going on, and his relationship with Zhu Biao was not as close as that of Qi De, so he asked curiously.

"Shortly after Chen Yunfu returned to Beijing, the crown prince approached Chen Yunfu to discuss the withdrawal of the feudal clan. Originally, the younger brother, the prince, had already agreed to remove all the feudal lords. The result was good, but now Chen Yunfu is not After agreeing to withdraw the feudal domain, Chen Yunfu retorted, "Guess what happened to the crown prince, hey, it really won't be withdrawn, and the lineage of the three kings of Jin, Yan, and Chu will be kept!"

Zid slapped the table, swearing.

"Chen Yunfu, courtiers, courtiers, ministers of power! Oppose the withdrawal of the feudal domain, and bring disaster to the country and the people!"

"Be careful with etiquette, be careful with etiquette."

Seeing Qi De scolding Chen Yunfu so angrily, Huang Zicheng was terrified, and hurried forward to cover Qi De's mouth, and tried to persuade him in a low voice: "It may be that Chen Yushi has something to hide, or there are other plans, you and I Not in the center, many things must not be biased."

What kind of officials are these two people? Qi De is a recently promoted Zuochunfang University scholar, and the former Zuochunfang University scholar Dong Lun has been promoted to Taichang Temple Minister.

And Huang Zicheng is nothing more than Zuo Zanshan, the original Zuo Zanshan Liu Sanwu was promoted to Hanlin Bachelor.

What Huang Zicheng said is true, the decision-making of the central government has nothing to do with the two of them, and the level difference is far.

"I am humble, but I dare not forget to worry about the country."

Qi De got excited: "Even when I was just a scholar, I worried about the great events of the Northern Expedition. What's more, now that I am a close minister of the crown prince, I should eat the king's salary and share the king's worries about the affairs of the country."

Huang Zicheng wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, and wanted to be sarcastic but felt it was inappropriate.

You are a little scholar of Zuo Chunfang University, and it is not your turn to tell Zhu Biao and Chen Yunfu what they think.

It's really salty to eat radish and light to worry about.

"Brother Zicheng, we both did our best to serve the crown prince, educating the two emperors and grandchildren, there is hard work if there is no credit, right? What did he do, Chen Yunfu? He went to Wuzhong County to live a happy life and didn't forget to take in a few concubines Concubine, enjoy the family happiness.

Well, now turn around and return to Beijing, Zuodu Yushi and two provinces!It ranks first among the nine ministers!

When the crown prince ascends the throne, should he be given the title of prince and grand teacher, should he be restored to the Marquis of Wuzhong?

At that time, what was the matter between the two of us. "

Do not suffer from widowhood but suffer from inequity.

Huang Zicheng didn't take it seriously at first, but when he heard Qi De say that, he also felt uncomfortable.

"What is Chen Yunfu's ability? Isn't he just a lip service sycophant? In the past, he moved His Majesty's heart by chanting scriptures and guarding the spirit of the late queen. He allowed him to return to the vulgar and become an official. Later, relying on this kind of favor, he became the prince. Lord's official.

We can't compare to him, we just don't have his flattery, otherwise we wouldn't have been confined to Zuo Chunfang for so many years. "

If people have a strong desire to compare, then life will be unhappy.

The same background as a secretary, Chen Yunfu is now the head of the Nine Ministers, and Qi and Huang are still working as secretaries, don't compare, it's just embarrassing yourself.

Huang Zicheng was also heartbroken by Qi De's words.

"Withdrawal is imperative."

Qi De red eyes: "Brother Zicheng, tell me, can it be done without withdrawing the feudal clan?"

"No."

On the point of withdrawing the vassal, Huang Zicheng's and Qi De's positions are consistent and unwavering.

"If the feudal clan is not withdrawn, the lineage of the three kings of Jin, Yan, and Chu will not be lost. Now that His Majesty is still here, withdrawing the feudal clan is as easy as turning the palm of your hand. If one day... how will the three kings deal with it?"

Qi De was worried about the country and the people, and sighed: "So, we must speak to the crown prince, and we must persuade the crown prince to withdraw all the feudal clans at this year's winter solstice abdication ceremony."

"But didn't you say that the crown prince has listened to Chen Yunfu's suggestion and decided to keep San Francisco?"

"But the opportunity has come."

Huang Zicheng didn't understand at first, but then suddenly realized.

"Liaodong?"

"Yes, Liaodong!"

The drunkenness in Qi De's eyes was swept away, clear and scorching: "Isn't something wrong in Liaodong now? Some officials secretly sold the people to the Mongols as slaves by relocating people. As the chief official of Liaodong, there is nothing wrong with Zhang Wei. To shirk responsibility, and Zhang Wei was recommended by Chen Yunfu.

Tomorrow is the resumption of the eighth day of the lunar new year, and then Dali Temple will definitely tell the crown prince about this case, and then it will be our chance. "

"But the case belongs to the Dali Temple, not the Metropolitan Procuratorate, so what does it have to do with him, Chen Yunfu?" Huang Zicheng was puzzled, "How can he, Chen Yunfu, be stupid enough to leave Beijing for Liaodong?"

"Of course he can't be that stupid, so we both need to work hard."

Qi De said: "From all over the country, Chen Yunfu handles the most cases alone. Don't they all praise him for his ability? Let's recommend this case to the crown prince and let him handle it.

As long as he leaves Beijing, the opportunity to withdraw from the feudal clan will come. "

"It's not that easy."

Huang Zicheng still thought it was too much fun, shook his head and said, "Even if he leaves the capital, it's not very likely for the two of us to change the crown prince's mind. After all, we are really not as important as that Chen Yunfu, let alone, If the two of us jumped out like this to push Chen Yunfu to go to Liaodong, would Chen Yunfu suspect that we were behind the Liaodong case?"

"That's Zhang Wei's bad luck. What does it have to do with us?"

Qi De sneered: "But this is our chance, isn't it? Also, although we can't change the crown prince's mind, we can let King Yan take control of Liaodong temporarily."

"what?"

Huang Zicheng was taken aback, and then even more puzzled.

"Since the feudal clan is going to be withdrawn, why should the King of Yan also be in charge of Liaodong? Isn't this just letting the King of Yan increase his strength for nothing?"

"If he doesn't increase his strength, this domain really cannot be withdrawn."

Qi De explained, his voice became extremely cold: "After the crown prince ascends the throne, we will say that the king of Yan has a large army in his hands and is plotting to commit crimes. At that time, do you think the prince will still keep the king of Yan in the north?"

"For the stability of the country, no."

"The national policy of Liaodong was determined by His Majesty, and it was Chen Yunfu who worked hard to make some Liaodong economic strategy. As a result, there are sixteen guards in the Liaodong capital, with a total army of [-].

The king of Yan holds a heavy army and plots against him, and he, Chen Yunfu, cannot get away with it. Maybe he, Chen Yunfu, and the king of Yan secretly colluded to plan this big banner secretly. Conspiracy. "

Huang Zicheng was so shocked that his face was pale and he was covered in cold sweat.

Qi De is planning to kill Chen Yunfu.

But soon Huang Zicheng realized again.

"No, didn't you just say that we should find a way to recommend King Yan to lead Liaodong for the time being? How can we blame Chen Yunfu on his head."

"Who said we have to say it ourselves, the prince will say it for us."

Zid smiled confidently.

"I have been with the crown prince for four years, and I know best what the prince is like. You can rest assured that I am fully sure of it."

"Brother Zicheng, only by overthrowing Chen Yunfu, you and I will have a bright future as ministers of the Crown Prince's hidden residence, otherwise, we will always live on the breath of Chen Yunfu, do it or not."

Huang Zicheng took a deep breath and nodded silently.

"Okay then, let's make a deal like this. At the meeting tomorrow morning, we will recommend Chen Yunfu to Liaodong to handle the case."

Leaving Qi De's mansion, red lanterns were hung from the eaves of the streets on the seventh day of the first lunar month, and the atmosphere was peaceful and stable.

But Huang Zicheng still tightened his collar.

He is very cold now, and he just wants to go home quickly.

"My lord, I'm home."

The servant groom said something.

Huang Zicheng nodded, half of his body was already out of the carriage, but he got back in immediately.

"Go to Liren Street, Zuodu Yushi Zundi."
