eldest son of Ming dynasty

Chapter 89 My son is my father's prince Yiwen
The three elders on the other side were not as relaxed as the two of them,

Now that the imperial decree has been issued, as a cabinet minister, it is natural to follow the decree.

Liu Jiancai doesn't care so much, he just wants to prevent the land from being seized by the rich and powerful, and also punish those evil and corrupt officials.

To some extent, this is the same goal as Zhu Houzhao.

But Liu Jian didn't want to, but Li Dongyang would think, and Xie Qian would say it.

"Now it seems that His Highness the Crown Prince and I have the same attitude. Your Majesty... the East Palace must have exerted its strength, otherwise, who can make His Majesty change his mind in such a short period of time? But since they are the same, it means that His Highness should also I am worried that the emperor will agree to the request of the second king, but why has he never discussed with us?"

Li Dongyang thought while writing, "The wisdom of the prince is like a demon."

In fact, if you look at the whole picture from a higher angle, you will see it more clearly.Li Dongyang roughly got it right, and after he got it right, he was amazed.

First of all, the prince kept Yang Tinghe and investigated Qi Kuan.And now it is justifiable and strict.The emperor's words were obviously a little angry, and no one can save Qi Kuan now.

Secondly, the prince still showed that he valued the people and was close to the people.Although he was useless, he had made his statement. If the imperial decree hadn't come in time, he would have gone to the Qianqing Palace!
From another point of view, he was not involved in the whole incident, but it was all influenced by him, which was even more powerful.

Furthermore,
Cheng Minzheng...

Now all the feudal princes in the world should hate him.Although the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty are useless, if you hate them, you can hate them, not to mention Cheng Minzheng, even ordinary civil servants don't bother to care about those vassal kings.

But it was different for Hongzhi. At least in this way, he would not be able to hate the emperor. The emperor asked the cabinet to re-draft the proposal twice, obviously not agreeing.

I can't wait to be on the prince's head. The prince is held in this position by them and can't get down!
This is the emperor's mind.And it's obviously not the emperor's general style of handling things.

"Binzhi and Yu Qiao, let's settle these two matters." Liu Jian has already drawn up an edict, which means that the two kings are not allowed to beg for land. After it is written, it will be printed. What is the purpose of the East Palace, these two things are always beneficial to the country and the people, you two don't get fooled, think about what the ultimate goal of us people is."

The words say so.

But Li Dongyang is still worried, "It's such a big detour, I think there is something waiting behind."

……

……

afterwards.

Zhu Houzhao ran to Qianqing Palace and knelt down in front of his father.

Emperor Hongzhi was hiding under the quilt, so he hurriedly got out of bed to help him up, "It's freezing on the ground, Zhao'er, what are you doing? Get up quickly."

"My son and minister are not filial."

"Where is it unfilial? If my emperor's son is unfilial, he will not tell the whole story. Now, there is a big case of envoys encroaching on ten thousand acres of land. No one dares to say anything that is detrimental to the stability of the court. Yu Guo, Still beneficial."

He understands the truth.

Zhu Houzhao didn't really want to be sensational with him. Firstly, the atmosphere made it so uncomfortable; secondly, even if he was scheming, he shouldn't count it to this extent, even including his father who was wholeheartedly good to him.

So it's just a scene, after all, the emperor is going against his heart, and he always has to give him a step down.

Now that he said that, Hongzhi went down the donkey along the slope.

"Mu Bin also told me that although the Fusi of Beizhen has incomplete information, he still has information about some officials. It's a pity that there may be more moths in the court. The trouble is that if the investigation starts now, if there is no Time and capable people like Yang Tinghe are below, so I'm afraid they won't be able to keep up."

Zhu Houzhao thought for a while and said: "Originally, the investigation was slower, so it doesn't matter. Because the father's anger can also not dissipate so quickly. But this time, let's control it within the range we have mastered."

Emperor Hongzhi didn't tend to arrest too many people and make people panic. Now that Zhu Houzhao took the initiative to say this, he was more in line with his wishes, "The emperor's words are reasonable."

If it makes sense, then do so.

"Father, my son still wants to ask for an order."

Seeing the Crown Prince kowtowing, Emperor Hongzhi under the candlelight was slightly moved.
He pointed to Xiao Jing, "It's cold in the ground, go and bring the prince here."

The emperor is not in good health. Although it is getting warmer now, the imperial physician and the empress want him to cover himself with a bedding to keep warm.

Zhu Houzhao was dumbfounded by this blow,
What is this going to do?
I'm not provocative, you are provocative, right?
The emperor has this intention, no one can stop it,

Zhu Houzhao had to take off his shoes, got into the bed, and was wrapped in it by Emperor Hongzhi.

Not to mention that it is quite warm, and the emperor, the conditions are good, all kinds of incense are lit, and the smell is not unpleasant.

"Father... Do you still feel sorry for Uncle Qi and Uncle Yong?"

Emperor Hongzhi touched his head, and said slowly: "They are my younger brothers, so they are naturally important. But compared with Zhao'er, they are not important. The matter of King Qi and Yong this time is also something I have I feel a little bit touched. Does Zhao'er have something to say and dare not speak to me? Afraid that I will be angry, afraid that I will disagree with your opinion?"

Zhu Houzhao narrowed his eyes, he is still an adult after all, he likes to consider things from the perspective of gains and losses, and he also knows that Emperor Hongzhi likes to protect his weaknesses,

In fact, quite tired.

But he always believes that people can't think about things naively.

You can't think that with the emperor's favor, he will agree to everything. If that's the case, then it's better to tell him that you give in to me.But if this is the case, how can you not say it?

Therefore, when thinking about how to persuade him, Zhu Houzhao had to use his brain, Xiao Jing's brain.

However, as far as this moment is concerned, if the emperor talks to him in such a manner in such a quiet night, then there is no need to deny this question.

Therefore, it is silent, which is the default.

"Zhao'er and Zhen are close father and son. It has been said in ancient times that the emperor's family is ruthless, but this is not the case with Emperor Taizu and Prince Yiwen. I only have Zhao'er and one son. How much I envy Emperor Taizu."

It was indeed beyond Zhu Houzhao's expectation that he could say such a thing.

According to historical records, Emperor Hongzhi was good-tempered, but some historians believed that he was weak.People criticized him for being too kind to the prince, to his brother-in-law, to all these family members.But he is obviously a very reasonable emperor, knowing what is good for the country and what is not.Why is he still doing this?
Zhu Houzhao sometimes feels that he should not be an emperor, but should go to the countryside to be a patriarch, so that all the good things can be given to his family.

The emperor must have had some difficult emotions to suppress in the past few days. From his point of view, he had to take care of his son as well as his younger brother, but he couldn't have both.

The ploy of 'don't let me have the name of killing my uncle' may have really hurt him a bit.Otherwise, it shouldn't be so quick to convince him.

So, maybe the emperor at this moment... is afraid, he is afraid that what he cares about will disappear, just like the faint sense of distance between his son and him.

"Father, my son has been studying these few days and read a lot of stories from past dynasties. Sometimes my son is afraid." He thought of a reason, and when he said this, he arched into the emperor's arms.

"Afraid?" Emperor Hongzhi was at the moment when his emotions burst out, and he was very strict when he heard his son say this, "Is it because those ministers did not teach well?"

"Father Huang misunderstood. Those are all famous learned men. What I am afraid of are those stories. Tang Taizong killed his eldest brother and imprisoned his father Huang. Emperor Sui Yang even killed his father. These Why is my son not afraid? My father mentioned my ancestors, let alone my father, even my son thinks that our Zhu family is better than them, and the emperor also has a family... My son sometimes thinks that my father is the happiest person in the world People? Get up before dawn every day, and there are endless memorials to read. The world is so big, there must be several things that add trouble every year. If one is not done well, it will be criticized by the courtiers. I got the direct name of a loyal minister, but how can anyone in the world be happy every day when they hear that they are not good? Have they thought about this? What is even more wronged is that even if the father is unhappy, he has to endure it, otherwise he will not be happy. It’s like Mr. Ming. It’s just that I can finally rest on weekdays, and occasionally I have an idea of ​​enjoyment, but I have to worry about how to write history books.”

Emperor Hongzhi's eyes and nose were sour when he heard this, even Xiao Jing would not dare to tell him about this!His hard work, his sadness... was fortunate enough to be told by his own son one day, and it touched his heart.

How could he not have red eyes?
"Zhao'er, needless to say... It's the father who wants to go wrong." The emperor pinched his tears, he didn't want to be too weak in front of the child, "In the end, it has to be our father and son. Zhao'er thinks for me, and I also Think for Zhao'er. Our father and son don't care about Tang Taizong or Sui Yangdi. No matter how powerful they are, they will be ancient. Zhao'er doesn't have to be afraid. With my father around, if someone disrespects me, my sword will be the same. sharp."

Zhu Houzhao took advantage of the situation and said: "Father, don't envy Emperor Taizu because of Prince Yiwen. The son is the father's Prince Yiwen."

"God treats me so kindly!" Emperor Hongzhi only felt a clear spring flowing in his heart, and couldn't help but look up to the sky with emotion.Then he said: "I see that Zhao'er is a caring person. If you have any plans in your heart, you can tell your father. Didn't you just ask for an order?"

Zhu Houzhao thought about it, and there was no rush for anything else, but there was a...

He raised his head and said: "Jin Yiwei's investigation this time should cause some disturbances, please don't let up on the father's side. How about leaving it to my son to handle?"

When Hongzhi heard this, it was no big deal, there was no need to ask for an order, even if he cut it first and played it later.So he shook his head relaxedly, and teased him, saying, "This is... a father-son soldier in battle?"

"Yes, father and son soldiers in battle!"

"Okay!" The emperor looked quite interested, but he thought for a while and said, "What do you want to do with the people who have been found?"

"Of course it is death."

Hongzhi was startled, "Will this make people panic?"

"Father, have you ever thought about it..." Zhu Houzhao carefully chose his words, "Investigating and punishing officials is not the ultimate goal. The ultimate goal is to return the land to the people. But most of these officials are from aristocratic families in their hometowns, even if they are small , the family can be regarded as someone who is an official in Beijing. If it is not serious, it is just an excuse. Even if the imperial court sends officials to divide the land, will the people dare to take it? Is it?"

Even an adult Emperor Hongzhi could hardly think of such frightening details hidden in the countryside.

For the common people, the imperial court?emperor?Those are things that you will never touch in a lifetime, but if you offend the big family in front of you, you will die tomorrow.

So Zhu Houzhao is not cruel and bloodthirsty, but it is necessary to do so.Otherwise, the fleas will be bombed with a grenade, and it will not solve the problem.

"There are people who don't care about the imperial court like this?!" Even though Emperor Hongzhi had a good temper, he was still an emperor after all.

Zhu Houzhao didn't speak, anyway, you are the master of the imperial court, don't you know how capable the imperial court is?

"That's why I said, don't let go. If you want to be effective, you must deal with it seriously."

Having said so much, it is estimated that he has the consciousness he should have.

Emperor Hongzhi looked at his son, but still gritted his teeth and said, "Since it is according to my son's request, and the matter has been done to this extent, why is there no reason not to give up halfway?"

Ok,
This is still like a sentence.

The emperor gritted his teeth in Qianqing Palace,

Jin Yiwei was able to turn up half of the sky outside, and Mou Bin began to count the number of people that night, arresting people overnight.

Royal charter!

In Fusi's courtyard in Beizhen, torches lit up the sky one by one, embroidered spring knives, flying fish suits, these killing gods that Zhu Houzhao had only seen in later generations, were now being moved by his thoughts.

To be honest, in the Hongzhi Dynasty, the power of eunuchs and Jin Yiwei was suppressed.Of course, the root cause is that the emperor was won over by civil servants.

In the silence of the night, groups of people came out of the courtyard that was feared by the world, and the night in the capital was full of chills.

Mou Bin personally led his troops to kick open the door of Yin Zaiqi's house, a member of the Department of Anthology of the Ministry of Officials.

"Jin Yiwei handled the case! Yuanwai Lang Yin Zaiqi accepted bribes and allowed his relatives to buy more than [-] acres of land in Longxi County, Zhangzhou Prefecture at a low price!"

When Jin Yiwei escorted the old man over, he still shouted for injustice: "I am willing to buy and sell the land! Why did I buy it so cheap?"

Mu Bin kicked one of Jinyiwei's subordinates: "Blind! Can you call this wrong?! Correct it, it wasn't a relative at home who bought it cheaply, but he bought it himself!"

"Subordinates change immediately!"

"take away!"

"Yes!"

Yin Zaiqi's face was extremely exciting, "I want to see Lord Butang! I want to see the emperor!"

"You won't be able to see anyone anymore." Mu Bin grabbed his collar, and then yelled coldly, "Take him away!"

He is the commander of Jinyiwei with a sense of justice. As long as he can eliminate harm for the people, he is full of enthusiasm without imperial edicts.

"Next!"

Commander Mou was very arrogant, and he hadn't been like this for a long time.

So the horses, torches, and noise were transferred from this alley in the capital to another alley. The officials who heard the noise were disturbed, afraid that they were here to find them.

But maybe, it was really here to find them...
