eldest son of Ming dynasty

Chapter 454 Bring Your Sister Into the Palace
The summer of the second year of Zhengde seemed to be hotter than in previous years, or maybe it was just that people felt that it was more noisy psychologically. After all, something happened every few days.

Fortunately, many people got the property, pouring this mouthful of cool water, even the fire under the Ming Dynasty's ass was weakened by most.

Of course, this does not include Weining Bo Wangxuan.

His errands were so worthless that the county gentry and subordinate officials united to deceive him. As a result, a good matter of quitting farming and animal husbandry was turned into a military activity with the theme of counter-insurgency.

Even though the civil unrest has become rootless duckweed under the increasingly true "rumors" of land division, Weiningbo's shockingly weak ability to handle affairs is still prominent.

At the critical moment of whether he could save his head, he put the dignity of a man behind him. Although the emperor once said not to rely on others, no matter how stupid he was, he knew that the emperor cared most about getting things done.

So he still accepted the "assistance" from his younger sister Wang Zhi. It can be said that he only "acted on behalf" of the withdrawal of the five counties from the pastoral care.

And after he got back to normal, Taipu Siqing Wang Teng didn't feel uncomfortable anymore, and it went much smoother all of a sudden.It was Wang Xuan who spoke in the front and would change it later. One day he had an idea, and the next day he changed it again and again, making Wang Ting naturally convinced that there was someone behind the scenes.

He also said so in his memorial to the emperor.

In May of the second year of Zhengde, Bo Wangxuan of Weining returned to the palace on a business trip, and even handed over his family's [-] mu of land. He didn't even go to Daming Nanyang Company to exchange dry shares.

This made Zhu Houzhao a little anxious for him: he obviously worked hard, but in the end he had to put himself on it in order to save his life.

But after thinking about it, this Weiningbo didn't do a very good job, but he would always do strange tricks when he needed to save his life. This shows that the so-called people behind the scenes are very active, and this behavior is basically " I don't know anything, but I'm extremely loyal' these words stick on the face.

Considering Wang Yue, so he really used the civil unrest to deal with him... Even Zhu Houzhao couldn't make up his mind.

In the end, he had no choice but to admit that he had to take advantage of the trick they arranged for him.

So he suddenly became interested in Wang Yue's smart granddaughter.

'Pa, pa, pa', he held the memorial in his hand and patted the other palm rhythmically. After pacing a few times, he said, "Weiningbo,"

"The minister is here." Wang Xuan shook his body.

The emperor didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Get up first. Don't be so afraid. Although you... well, your ability is a bit weak, but you are loyal after all. If a minister can occupy the word "loyalty", I will treat you preferentially."

Wang Xuan had to be comforted like this to feel at ease, kowtowed and said: "I thank your Majesty for your forgiveness."

"Well, get up." Zhu Houzhao beckoned, and then said: "There are many kinds of people in the world. Some people can do it, some people can say it, and there are some people like you. Don’t you have eyes? As long as you are loyal, then your eyes will see me for me. Thinking about it in this way is of great use to you.”

Wei Ningbo was even more delighted when he heard that, and nodded again and again, "That's right, this minister is loyal to His Majesty, no matter what he sees, he just tells His Majesty, besides... this minister's brain is stupid, and he can't make it up, hehe."

With a smile, the emperor looked at Liu Jin who was also smiling beside him.

Liu Jin smiled and said, "Wei Ningbo is a caring person."

"I just need such a caring person. You, don't take any position in the court or the army. I can see that this is embarrassing you and myself. It just so happens that at the moment, Beizhili Shuntian Mansion, Baoding Prefecture, Hejian Prefecture and other prefectures and counties are all dividing the land, but the disease is long and difficult to treat. Whether the land is really divided and whether the hardship of people's livelihood is really alleviated is a matter of debate.

Just like what you said about the troubles that happened in Gu'an County, the gentry, county magistrates, and subalterns unite to deceive officials at the top and abuse the people at the bottom. Even the emperor is sometimes kept in the dark.I don't know everything about the world, and I don't dare not to know about it, Wei Ningbo. In this sense, I have to rely on your eyes.

At the beginning, your grandfather, Wang Yue, was a general who was able to lead an army thousands of miles away. You are no match for Erzu, but after you are truly loyal, as long as you don’t forget these four words, the Weiningbo Mansion will not decline. This is what I said, You keep it in mind. "

Wei Ningbo's fear of causing civil unrest in the past few days finally dissipated at this moment, not only that, but the emperor's words also meant to draw him as his confidant, so he couldn't hide his excitement in his heart, and he knocked loudly: "Your Majesty's teachings, please be careful. You must remember it in your heart! Don't dare to forget it for a moment!"

"Okay, don't just kneel down." The emperor sighed slightly, "If Lord Baoguo can have your kindness, why should I make it difficult for him? Wei Ningbo, you are also an eminent minister, what do you think of Baoguo? Duke?"

Duke Bao Zhu Hui declared his "unknown" land properties in this turbulent land division, until the people who went down to investigate were given to participate, and he still did not change his mind.

Just like those founding heroes who were treated harshly by Zhu Yuanzhang back then, they boasted that they had meritorious deeds and should enjoy the country.

Duke Baoguo really came to Qianqing Palace to cry.

Wenningbo also knew about this matter.

"My minister thinks that Duke Baoguo cannot understand the holy will, and he is a hopeless person."

"How brave his father Zhu Yong was back then. He ruled Mongolia in the north and conquered Jurchen in the east. The world knows that he governed the army seriously. Wherever he went, he made many achievements. The three emperors Yingzong, Xianzong, and Xiaozong all respected him. .In the ninth year of Hongzhi, he died of illness in Beijing, and the late emperor stopped working for him for a day. I don’t think it took more than ten years to become like this..."

"Your Majesty, although my humble servant is dull, I have been taught since I was a child that meritorious deeds should be rewarded, and demerits should be punished. The former Duke of Baoguo naturally made great military achievements, but Emperor Xianzong promoted him to the title of Funing Boss. Hou, in the 15th year of Chenghua, he became the Duke of Baoguo. In the 17th year of Chenghua, he became a quasi-hereditary duke. In the fourth year of Hongzhi, Emperor Xiaozong named him the Grand Master. His position is respected and unparalleled. These rewards are enough to comfort him. .Looking back at today, Lord Baoguo cannot feel His Majesty's worries, and wants to put selfishness above public ones, His Majesty should punish him for his mistakes."

Zhu Houzhao nodded, "There are several reasons for what you said. How about it, after you go down, write a signed article and put it on "Ming Pao". The article must be beautiful, and you must explain these reasons clearly. He just passed away in Nine Years, and the imperial court wants to pursue his merits and give him a good name after his death. A famous general of Ming Dynasty must have such a number one person, but father is a hero and son is Gou Xiong, this is also a common thing."

The emperor's use of the word "bear" also shows his dislike for Duke Bao.

In fact, during the Hongzhi period, Zhu Houzhao didn't like him.

In the 14th year of Hongzhi, Duke Baoguo was timid when resisting the fire screening, but instead returned to the army and managed the army laxly, which caused excessive disturbance to the people.

So the courtiers and censors impeached each other, but Emperor Xiaozong didn't ask, and the Mongols withdrew their troops anyway, and the matter passed.That was his fate. In case of any major omission, Zhu Houzhao, who was still the prince at the time, tried his best to disobey Emperor Xiaozong's intentions, and wanted to punish him.

At the moment of the second year of Zhengde, if he stays honest, Zhu Houzhao will not take care of him. After all, if he is an honored minister and a prince, if he just wants to be a rich man, the emperor cannot easily punish him. Otherwise, he would appear too mean and ungrateful, but in the midst of the general trend, he obviously boasted of his status and merits, and he had to fight the emperor.

It is equivalent to a kind of indulgence that your emperor should also take into account the influence, and you can't just dispose of me as a duke hastily.Then Zhu Houzhao definitely couldn't spare him.

Wei Ningbo has no extra thoughts, he is now convinced of what the emperor said, and it is not easy to pave the way for the relationship and trust between the two parties, so he will not easily destroy it.

"Yes, Wei Chen obeys the order."

"By the way, don't forget to check the distribution of fields in various places."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I know about it."

"Okay." Zhu Houzhao touched his chin, and he was thinking about another thing, "Next time you enter the palace, remember to bring your sister with you."

Wang Xuan was taken aback, and just about to say something, he saw that the emperor had already turned around and went to the side hall, and the voice came from far and near,
"Don't worry, I'm just curious."

"Sir, lead the order."

Wang Xuan withdrew like this.

As for the [-] mu of land, the emperor didn't say anything.

Zhu Houzhao would not accept it. Wei Ningbo naturally had his own considerations and wanted to show his loyalty, but if he accepted it for nothing, it would appear that the emperor was oppressing others and forcing them to hand over their wealth.

This is really unnecessary.

In Weiningbo Mansion, Wang Xuan told his sister Wang Zhi the details of entering the palace.

Among them, what Wang Zhi cared about the most was not any land property, but the emperor wanted her to enter the palace. When she heard about this suddenly, her heart was also disturbed.

"...There will always be a day when you are so smart today that the second brother can't hide it."

"Then this field..."

Wang Zhi made the decision, "There is no reason to take back the donated things, otherwise, wouldn't it look fake? But the Holy One obviously didn't want to lose his reputation because of this. In this case, the mansion will still be leased to tenants for farming as usual. However, the food that originally belonged to us will not go into the treasury, it will be brought to the capital and sent to the private school in Nancheng, where there are many poor children."

Wang Xuan did not expect that there is such a way, "Your Majesty will definitely like it. But the cost of our mansion has to be reduced."

Wang Zhi wasn't worried at all, "Second brother should understand His Majesty better. If there is a day when Uncle Weining of Daming is struggling, His Majesty will be the first to come to help."

"It will still be like this?"

"Yes. Look at those ministers in the court who don't fight for money, but His Majesty tried every means and even set up a special salary to give them money."

"Sister is really smarter than me, who is the second brother. No wonder His Majesty wants to see you."

Wang Zhi squeezed her hands. No matter how calm she was, she was the emperor after all, so she was still a little nervous.In fact, she has also imagined what he looks like today, and she has been watching him do these things all these years...

In her heart, even if this person is not as good as Hanwu Tangzong, he is also a monarch like Han Xuandi and Tang Xianzong.She has read history books since she was a child, and she yearned for such a wise emperor. If she hadn't been a daughter, she would have fought for the title of Uncle Weining. When she assists such an emperor, she would really be famous in history.

pity.

"Second brother..."

On the attic, the beautiful figure looking at the distance spoke with her back to the people inside.

"what?"

"The matter of entering the palace, since there is a holy will, it cannot be delayed for a long time, otherwise His Majesty will think that I don't want to see him."

Wang Xuan shook his head, the Forbidden City is really a delicate place, and there are too many twists and turns.
