King of Han Dynasty of Ming Dynasty

"Oh?"

"That's not what you meant, isn't it?"

"Then I am very curious about what the Crown Prince means by this action."

"They intercepted the people sent by the king to report, refuted the king's orders, and protected the Minister of Revenue who spoke treasonous words."

"Prince"

"My lords, don't say that I think this way, and don't say that I am narrow-minded. If this happened to any of you, would you dare to say that you wouldn't have different ideas?"

"Ok?"

"Answer the King!"

"Yes or no?"

After this question was asked, everyone in the room fell silent, and for a moment they didn't know how to answer the question.

Have no idea!

Tell the truth about what Xia Yuanji just said!

Not to mention Zhu Gaoxu, who was a prince and also the regent, all of them as ministers felt that it was too much, really too much, and suspected of belittling the other party too much and putting the blame on the other party.

Not to mention, Zhu Gaoxu asked them to speak based on their current identities, in a sense.

Even if we say that he was trying to sow discord among the royal family members and that this was treason, it would not be an exaggeration at all.

As a result, the ministers present did not know how to answer this question, and did not know how to excuse Xia Yuanji's behavior.

Have no idea!

It's really too detached, it's really too excessive.

It was like rubbing the face of Han Wang Zhu Gaoxu to the ground.

In such a matter and such a situation, it was completely understandable for Zhu Gaoxu to get angry and furious, and no one could find any fault with him.

But not being able to find fault is one thing, but whether or not to deal with Xia Yuanji, the Minister of Revenue, is another.

Whether it is the overall development or the situation in the court.

Naturally, these ministers were unwilling to deal with Xia Yuanji and did not want to let such a Minister of Revenue die here.

Not to mention Xia Yuanji, he was a favorite of Emperor Yongle Zhu Di, and he held such a special position!
Among the ministers at present, no one knows the situation of the entire Ming Dynasty court and the treasury of the Ming Dynasty better than them.

If the Ming Dynasty's treasury was not supported by people like Xia Yuanji, it would be hard to say whether Emperor Yongle would be able to launch the Northern Expedition.

As to whether the Ming Dynasty court can operate safely and smoothly, it is still unclear!

to this end.

Under such circumstances, how could they possibly be willing to see Xia Yuanji really be captured by the King of Han?
If he is really captured by the King of Han, he will be replaced by an incompetent Minister of Revenue!

Let’s not talk about whether the King of Han and the Crown Prince will suffer or not. Just think about it, the court officials like them will probably have to eat dirt before they can, and the problem of spying is inevitable and certain.

It can be said that Xia Yuanji.

He is the true God of Wealth of the entire Ming Dynasty court!

For this reason, no matter from which perspective, as long as one is a normal person with normal thinking, how many people are really willing to watch their God of Wealth being captured by others and directly thrown into prison?
Needless to say, it is obviously impossible to have and absolutely impossible to possess.

That's exactly the case. Although they knew in their hearts that Xia Yuanji had gone too far in this matter, they really didn't want to pursue it from the bottom of their hearts, and didn't want to ask about the current situation!

I just want to live in peace and wait patiently for your majesty's triumphant return.

As for what to do next, as long as Emperor Yongle returns.

Then these things are not what they should worry about.

The reason is also very simple.

Not to mention that they were unwilling, given the feelings and trust that Emperor Yongle had for Xia Yuanji, it was absolutely impossible for him to do something that would kill the goose that lays the golden eggs. He was also reluctant to do such a thing, and the most he could do was just verbal punishment.

After all, this has been the consensus for so many years and it is something that everyone knows.

The thoughts of these ministers were also the thoughts of Crown Prince Zhu Gaochi, because he knew better than anyone else about Xia Yuanji's ability and role, especially at such a critical juncture, so he had to stand up and plead for him, hoping that the King of Han would follow the step he gave and not make everyone look bad.

But judging from the current situation, it seems that the results and the answers he wanted are not at all what he expected. This made the prince extremely angry, and he was caught in a dilemma for a moment, not knowing what to do.

Because of this point, no matter whether it is with the second brother or with the Minister of Revenue Xia Yuanji, there is absolutely no benefit at all for the entire Ming Dynasty if the two confront each other, and there is not even a single benefit!
That's exactly the case.

The originally gentle and stable atmosphere suddenly became weird with the answer of Han Wang Zhu Gaoxu. Everyone's face turned pale and their expressions were different. They were all constantly calculating and planning for themselves in their hearts.

The ministers did not answer, but as the crown prince, Zhu Gaochi naturally could not sit still and wait for death.

After all, Zhu Gaoxu's words just now were not directed at the ministers who had just arrived. All the criticisms were directed at him, directly at him, as if he would nail him and the Minister of Revenue Xia Yuanji to the pillar of shame together if they had a disagreement.

Regarding the things happening right now, even though he felt unwilling and unhappy about many things in his heart, he had to bite the bullet and face the challenges in an attempt and vain attempt to resolve the current situation.

See if it can be passed smoothly, see if the anger in the King of Han can be suppressed, so that he can let go of the past grudges, not care about Xia Yuanji's mistakes, and give Xia Yuanji a chance, while at the same time not making things so ugly for everyone.

As he thought about it, the expression on the prince's face changed. He did not show any anger or different emotions because of Zhu Gaoxu's teasing and ridicule. Then he smiled as usual and said:

“Hey, hey, hey.” “Second brother, it’s really too much for you to say that.”

"I have never had such thoughts, nor have I ever had such intentions. Of course, not to mention Xia Yuanji and I, even the civil and military officials in the court would definitely not have such thoughts."

"For this reason, regarding the current situation, you are really too sensitive and think too much about it."

"As for the situations you mentioned, I may not know about other people, but considering the relationship between us two brothers, it is understandable that others don't know. But to say that you really don't know, it really makes me feel a little disappointed!"

"Even if we have a hundred courages, we can't do such a thing."

"so."

"You can put your mind at ease. As long as we don't have such thoughts and ideas, then the civil and military officials in the court will definitely not have such thoughts."

As he spoke, the prince looked around at the ministers in the field, cast a warning and informing look at everyone in the field, took a few deep breaths, and also gave those people time to organize their thoughts, and continued:
"Gentlemen, what we said is correct, right?"

"I think you all definitely don't have such thoughts on this matter. Am I right?"

The ministers: "!!!!!!!!!"

That's what I said.

The steps have been handed to everyone.

The words were rushed to everyone's lips, and everyone had given face to each other.

What else can they say?
How could there be any other different opinions here?

Wouldn't that just make yourself uncomfortable and upset?

Among the people in the field, who is not a veteran who has been in the officialdom for many years, they have all climbed up from the dark and damp, step by step to the central position and become important figures. How could they not understand the current situation, and how could they not understand the implied meaning of the prince's words and what he wants to do?
Of course it's impossible. How could you be so foolish as to bite the bullet and force your way up there, risking the lives of your family.

It has come to this.

There is no doubt that he must have hit the snake with the stick and then climbed up directly. While giving himself a step, he also firmly took the step handed over by the prince and tried his best to calm down the situation in front of him.

After all, the situation could really be calmed down here. Whether it was for them as individuals or for the Crown Prince, the King of Han, and Xia Yuanji, it was the best possible outcome.

Otherwise, if we really allow the situation to develop and the results to run wild, God knows what will happen and what kind of results will be created. And who knows whether the results created will be something that they as individuals can bear?
After all, the people in the court are not easy to deal with.

It is not uncommon to kick someone when they are down or stab them in the back, especially for those military generals who have a blood feud with them and dislike each other.

If something like this really happened, and it really became a reality, and became known to everyone.

Those individuals would definitely not miss such an opportunity. Even the abnormal behavior of Prince of Han Zhu Gaoxu today made everyone present think about it and they couldn't help but doubt whether these things were deliberately done by Prince of Han Zhu Gaoxu.

In other words, he wanted to use Xia Yuanji's handle to expand his influence here, thereby involving a lot of things, and wanted to involve all of them, making them all blamed and responsible for the current events.

It is not surprising that the civil officials thought this way about this matter. The fact is that the King of Han, Zhu Gaoxu, belonged to the lineage of military generals and meritorious service from the beginning to the end, and the people supporting him behind the scenes were also from the lineage of military generals and meritorious service. So it is not difficult to understand that he fought for the interests and rights for his lineage.

Such a thing, let alone happening to the King of Han, even if it happened right now, if they put themselves in their shoes, no one here would sit idly by and watch such a good opportunity given up.

In this matter, it is not that they are judging others by their own standards. It is that politics and power struggles are so cruel and shameless that there is no room for relaxation or leniency. Moreover, they have experienced and witnessed such things more than once.

After all, they are all veterans in the officialdom and are savvy people in the court.

There are all kinds of dirty things I have seen, and all kinds of disgusting things I have experienced.

As they thought about it, those who were accompanying them naturally could not just sit there and wait for death. At the same time, they secretly made up their minds that no matter what the considerations were, they would never let certain things happen before their eyes.

Then, the ministers in the field looked at each other with extremely serious expressions, then took a step forward, bowed respectfully, and said:
"Yes!"

"Please calm down, Lord Han."

"What the prince said does not make sense in this matter."

"As for what happened right now, it was definitely an unconscious act, and it was definitely not an intentional act by anyone. For this reason, I beg Your Majesty not to get so angry about it."

"For such a matter, not to mention that Lord Xia has no such idea, we who are accompanying him would definitely not have such an idea. If we really have such an idea, there is no need for you, Prince Han, to get angry, and there is no need for the prince to get angry. We all know what to do."

"At the same time, we cannot follow them and help them commit atrocities."

"I hope that Lord Han can understand this matter clearly."

"Give Lord Xia some chances, and give us some chances as well."

"Moreover"

"We have never opposed Prince Han. When you were busy here, you always did your best to run the Ming Bank. You never did anything insincere."

"As for our individual behaviors during this period of time, even if we don't defend ourselves, Prince Han should know what they have done."

"We have been busy for such a long time, just like watching the children we have raised grow up and take the first step in life. If you are not really worried and are not really concerned about the court, how could Lord Xia say such a thing?"

"However, compared to our satisfaction and reluctance, the interests of the country and the court are ultimately above all else. For this reason, Lord Xia and I had no choice but to resort to this last resort and come to inform Prince Yu."

"There may be some transgressions in this matter, but we as individuals really have no selfish motives at all."

"Please, Lord Han, please think twice!!"

At this point, the ministers paused, a look of compassion emerged on their faces, and without the slightest hesitation, they knelt down, kowtowed and saluted, saying:
"I beg Your Majesty to understand!"

"I hope Your Majesty can understand our sincere desire to serve our country." (End of this chapter)
