eldest son of Ming dynasty

Chapter 137
Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling were still a little confused when they left the palace.They were all a little stunned, unable to understand how this all happened.

Queen Zhang no longer defends them?

This made the two of them feel a little dangerous for the first time.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince obviously doesn't like them. If Queen Zhang can't protect them from the Crown Prince's side, then who can they count on in the future?
Zhu Houzhao returned to the East Palace with anger.

These two straw bags are really an eyesore.

"Liu Jin."

"The servant is here."

"Tomorrow, you will bring Mao Yuwen into the palace."

The candles in the cabinet have not been extinguished, and the East Palace is not too different. The clerks have things to do, and the leaders also have joints that the leaders have to consider.

The court situation is always affected by the whole body.

Business development is also dynamic.

Zhu Houzhao was thinking, what would be the impact if the courtiers found out that the prince could handle Shou Ning Bo and Jian Chang Bo?
These influences are not necessarily what he, the prince, is happy to see, but it does not depend on personal will, what should happen will happen, and smart people learn to use these influences to achieve their own goals.

For example...

Will someone continue to report, stating the illegal actions of these two people over the years, and demanding that they be punished?
If these memorials come up, will he, the crown prince, cover up or not?

From the perspective of his own purpose, of course it is better not to hide it, so how to achieve this purpose requires a plan and means.

In his previous life, he was a person who was good at pondering his thoughts, but it was useless at that time, but in this life, he is like a fish in water.

Of course, those plans and means should not affect the purpose of the whole army for the time being.

"Liu Jin."

Because it's winter, it's still a little cold.Zhu Houzhao asked someone to put another fleece on him.

Liu Jin came over lightly, looking surprised at the prince's actions, "Your Highness, it's already night, and you still want to go out?"

"Take a lantern and accompany me to the cabinet."

Zhu Houzhao shook his shoulders, found a more comfortable posture, and then walked out of the palace door in front, and just stepped out, he said: "Someone go to the imperial dining room to make some light porridge, add some snacks, and send to the cabinet."

"Yes."

Although this kind of method of winning people's hearts is old-fashioned, it should be used.

In fact, the word old-fashioned itself contains usefulness.How can you use old-fashioned things if they are useless?
In the cabinet, the three cabinet ministers and the six ministries and nine ministers were all there, some were sitting, some were standing, and three or two people gathered together, pointing at the things on the paper and discussing non-stop.

The furnishings of the cabinet are nothing more than a few chairs and a few tables. For Zhu Houzhao, who has seen the mansion, this is really simple.

But it is such a place that determines most things in a country every day.

"Your Highness?" Because Zhu Houzhao didn't let people make any noise, it was Xie Qian who discovered him, and then put down his brush and came over to salute.

"Minister, please see Your Highness."

"Get up." Zhu Houzhao waved his hands, walked in and found a chair to sit down, and said: "Tomorrow, my palace will issue an order to recall all the Beijing camps built outside. This matter cannot be delayed, because you also I know, I have no choice but to ask Elder Ge and all the ministers to formulate a specific strategy for reorganizing the army overnight, thank you for your hard work."

Although Emperor Hongzhi had sympathized with the veterans over the years, he had never come to the cabinet to express condolences in person. His Highness explained the reason for his visit because he was afraid that they would work too hard. These words are also heart-warming words.

The others are fine, either important ministers or veteran ministers, the emperor always speaks softly.But Hanwen is 58 years old, he is considered young among them, and he has just been promoted to a minister, so what the prince said is very touching.

"As a courtier, you should be heartbroken. The prince's words are really shocking. I am ashamed of you, Han Wen!"

"No, no, no, you all deserve it. You are all loyal ministers of the imperial court." Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "I have sent people to the imperial dining room and ordered a few bowls of millet porridge. The weather is cold, and it is even worse at night. When the time comes Gentlemen, please warm your belly with porridge."

"I have thanked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Zhu Houzhao glanced at the people here. After more than a year, these smart people should more or less see through him as a prince, right?

Political right and wrong are sometimes unavoidable.Just like Ma Wensheng and Wu Kuan, no one can say that they are the kind of bad courtiers, but the situation dictates that,
At that time, let alone one or two ministers, even the relatives of the emperor, the emperor can only give up.

And after all the turmoil, these people are still there.

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

But his position meant that even if he wanted to show his emotions, he couldn't be in front of so many people.

He finally blinked his eyes and said, "Okay. You guys...you are all busy. I won't delay you."

"Yes. I will send you off to His Highness the Crown Prince respectfully!"

When they walked to the door, Zhu Houzhao turned his back to them and said, "You are all high officials. At this time, you have to think about your ideals when you were studying, and think about your reputation in history books. What I pay attention to is Practical results, here in this palace, nothing is more important than doing practical things for the people."

"Your Highness is wise!"

Several old men got up after the crown prince left, but everyone was a little silent for the first time, because they did not expect the prince to come, and secondly, they did not expect the prince to say those words in the end.

Tu Yu first broke the silence, "Since ancient times, the knowledge of the world is better than His Highness, but it is only the number of hands."

I used to feel a little tired in Korean, but now I just feel full of energy.

"Da Ming, you have no worries for 30 years."

In fact, 30 years is only an approximate number, after all, Emperor Hongzhi is still there.

Here, only Wang Yue felt a little sad, "It's a pity that I, Wang Yue, are already in my twilight years. If the heavens give me 20 years of life, I will definitely make immortal achievements for His Royal Highness Jingping the Northern Territory!"

Liu Jianxin said that you should forget it.

With your character, if you are 20 years younger, you will not benefit.

But he is different.

His previous plans are slowly being realized.

He can cooperate with the prince.

"Not much to say, let's discuss these matters quickly. Look at the time, it will be the time of Haishi soon."

……

……

On the morning of the second day,
In the name of supervising the country, the prince made an early court in Fengtian Hall.His position is next to the dragon chair, but he can still look down on the officials.

"I follow the father's will and list it as a state supervisor. I am fortunate to give Yingxian as my assistant. I heard that the capital is the foundation of the world, and the capital is the foundation of the capital! How can we not practice more to prepare for unexpected events?! Today, According to the order of Prince Donggong, all battalions in central Beijing who were dispatched in the name of construction were ordered to return to Beijing immediately and stand by! All construction work should be stopped! But anyone who obstructs will be punished immediately! The cabinet, six ministries, Dali Temple, Tongzheng The implementation plan discussed by the Commissioner and the Procuratorate is attached together, so that it can be implemented! There must be no mistakes!"

When this decree was really announced in the morning, it was really soul-stirring!

Because no one thought that the prince really had the guts to do such a thing!

"His Royal Highness Chitose Chitose Chitose Chitose!!!"

Although it is still a little short of Wanzai.But the most important thing is the momentum of shouting!
And Zhu Houzhao also had a more real feeling of "controlling the power of the world".

Afterwards, the decree was simultaneously published in Ming Pao.

As soon as the news came out, the exclamation of Man Jingshi,

Especially now or before the examination, the Shaanxi hall, Jiangxi hall, and Fujian hall in the capital are full of scholars who come to the imperial examination.

They rushed to tell each other and praised the good governance of the prince!

Most of the officials in Beijing talked about this matter when they entered the yamen, and the wind direction naturally gave the prince a thumbs up.

Among the scholars of the capital,

There is one named Tang Yin who is the most famous, and he is also Jie Yuan of Ying Tianfu.Because Wensheng in the south of the Yangtze River is better than that in the north, if you can get Jieyuan in that place, basically it is not a big problem to be a Jinshi.

So when everyone else was nervously preparing for the exam, Tang Yin and his good friend Xu Jing, whom he had just met, were busy galloping around the city.

Not long after entering Beijing, he heard about the various deeds of the Prince of the East Palace, and today he had such a heart-warming message, Tang Yin couldn't help feeling relieved, and directly splashed ink, and immediately published a magnificent essay praising the Prince.

This person has a personality. Most people have an article, and you can keep it yourself or ask a friend or two to comment on it. He doesn't.After he arrived in the capital, he heard that there was something called "Ming Pao". Because it recorded a lot of interesting information, many people in the capital were buying it.

He also flipped through it, but left behind an arrogant statement that "such an article dares to sell for money".

Immediately afterwards, today he took his article to the location of the main office of "Ming Pao",

"Jiangnan's son Tang Yin is here to visit the museum today! Let Ming Pao editor-in-chief Zhang Chengyong meet you!"

It's not that Tang Yin is arrogant, his name is quite famous in the capital.At the beginning of last year, Xianma Liangchu of Zhan Shifu was sent to Yingtianfu to preside over the township examination.

When I met this Tang Yin, I left a sentence: Is it true that a scholar is a chess player?Xie Yuan is here!
It means that for such a talented person, Xie Yuan must be him.

After returning to Beijing, Liang Chu also talked about this person in discussions with many old friends, saying that this person is a great talent!

So Tang Yin has some reputation.

Zhang Chengyong has naturally heard of this name, so what would a normal person do when a future Jinshi came to visit him?
Open the door to welcome guests!

So Zhang Chengyong prepared tea and received Tang Yin as a distinguished guest.

"Brother Tang's name, I have heard before you came to the capital that there must be Brother Tang in the two lists in the future. So... To be honest, I really can't think of it, why did Brother Tang find you today?"

"Editor Zhang, Mr. Tang is here to give you an article!"

"Oh?" Zhang Chengyong's eyes were full of excitement. If a talented person like Tang Bohu could write an article for him, he would certainly be happy. "Brother Tang, can I take a look first?"

Tang Yin was quite conceited, so he directly showed the article in front of him.

Although Zhang Chengyong is not good at reading, he still knows the characters. The beginning of the article is good, but the end is different. If you look carefully, it is rushing to praise the prince:

...The present prince Bona Duorong, Hai Tingyue Zhi, learns impermanence, only virtue is there; kindness is selfless, only virtue is close; observers observe people, and there is no loss... What the prince does, he will die It is often chanted by the crowd, sincerity will no longer require ministers to praise Yimei..."

Zhang Chengyong pursed his lips after reading it. It seems that His Highness's prestige in the hearts of scholars in the world is indeed increasing day by day. He can make people write such disgusting articles. People in the capital praise His Highness everywhere. It can be said that It is very popular.

……

……

It was at this time that Jin Yiwei Qianhu Mao Yuwen entered the palace and knelt honestly in front of the prince.

"I came here today and I want you to do three things. First, you send people to watch over Shou Ningbo and Jianchang Bo. It is best to insert people into their mansions. I want to know which night Which concubine is warming their house."

Mao Yuwen was a bit rebellious, but he was a good baby in front of the prince, "Yes! This subordinate will obey His Highness's will!"

"Second, go and find out how many lands Shou Ning Bo and Jian Chang Bo have occupied over the years. There must be events, dates, and data."

"Yes."

"Three..." Zhu Houzhao looked into the distance, and said quietly: "Secretly, find an enemy for them, someone like you who is not afraid of death."

Mao Yuwen kowtowed deeply again, but this time he did not say yes, but said, "If your highness is inconvenient, this subordinate, I am willing to do... unbearable things for your highness."

Zhu Houzhao didn't expect him to say this sentence.

Mao Yuwen waited for a while, but he didn't wait for the prince to say yes or no.This made him feel a little nervous.

His Royal Highness the Prince's scheming is unparalleled in the world.This kind of silence still scares him... afraid that he will say the wrong thing.

"You go down."

This made him even more puzzled.

But Mao Yuwen was already afraid in his heart, and he didn't dare to violate this sentence even a little bit, so he could only do it immediately, without saying a word extra.

He didn't heave a long sigh of relief until he got out of the East Palace, and rubbed his palms together only to find that there was already a lot of sweat...

Just now, I really talked too much, but I can't do this in the future.

Mao Yuwen warned himself in his heart.

That, but the prince.
