Chapter 158: Too many lice don’t itch
The Supreme Emperor had a total of eleven sons, of whom only Zhu Xianming was the only surviving son of the three legitimate sons, and there were four other concubines alive.
In terms of blood relationship, Zhu Xianrong and Zhu Xianming, who are just one level apart, are not really close to each other.
The several royal massacres that took place from Yizong to the current Zhengtong period made Zhu Xianrong very aware of his position.
So at this moment he understood that the emperor was not asking for his opinion, but asking himself how to deal with it.
What he has to do is to tell the emperor what he is thinking. This is the most perfect response plan.
Speculating on the Holy Will has always been a difficult and high-risk matter.
However, as a cousin, Zhu Xianrong got along better than Zhu Xianming's brothers, so he naturally had his own merits.
"Your Majesty, I think Jinghong is right"
"Japan is just a small country. Compared to my reputation as Ming Dynasty, the truth of the matter is not important"
p>
After taking a look at the emperor's expression and judging that he was probably right, Zhu Xianrong continued, "So I think that the Japanese envoy does not know the etiquette of the Celestial Empire, and it is natural for me, the Celestial Prince, to teach him a lesson." "But our country is vast, and as long as the Japanese envoys come forward to apologize, Your Majesty can also forgive their rudeness."
What does it mean to beat someone down, Zhu Xianrong's words are vivid interpretation.
"It makes some sense." Zhu Xianming nodded slightly.
Hearing this, Zhu Xianrong breathed a sigh of relief. This level was finally passed.
Although he was a brother whom the emperor valued, Zhu Xianrong also knew that accompanying the emperor was like accompanying a tiger.
No matter how close I am to the emperor, I can have Prince Li and King Ying'e as my relatives. Those two brothers who are from the same mother would not have been wiped out by the one in front of me.
Putting down the scroll, Zhu Xianming turned around and asked, "Where did you get this painting?"
"It was found by the servants in the mansion. Although the inscription of Huizong on it is really I don’t know what it is like, so I came here to invite your Majesty to appreciate it.”
“I have no attainments in these things, and I don’t know how to make them famous at the moment.”
Zhu Xianrong said quickly, “It’s hard to tell whether they are true or false. I don't think it's better for your Majesty to keep this painting for now. Your Majesty will be able to see through it if you look at it more often, but I don't have such eyesight."
"How can I have time to look at these?" Zhu Xianming put down the scroll casually.
This made Zhu Xianrong extremely distressed, because it was indeed the authentic work of Emperor Daojun, and it cost him eight thousand silver to get it.
After all, he didn’t have the guts to fool the emperor with fake paintings.
"Your Majesty is responsible for tens of thousands of people in China, and he worries about state affairs every day. I feel sad when I think about it."
"Therefore, I am looking for some ancient paintings and treasures for your Majesty's entertainment. Let's talk to relieve our fatigue, please accept it, Your Majesty."
In order to please this fourth brother, Zhu Xianrong also tried his best, so he simply said it clearly at this moment.
"Since you are so loyal, then keep it”
Zhu Xianrong immediately answered, “This is the blessing of this painting.”
Next, the two brothers discussed the painting again. Half an hour later, the Minister of Rites came to visit. Zhu Xianrong just said goodbye and planned to leave.
"Why do you think he came?"
Zhu Xianrong replied, "I think he came here because the Japanese envoy was beaten."
Zhu Xianming smiled and said, "Why don't you just say that he is here to ask for help?"
Zhu Xianming laughed twice, but he didn't say much. He really didn't want to get involved too much in these matters.
p>
"You should go back first. I will talk to you when I have time."
"My brother is resigning," Zhu Xianrong replied respectfully.
After he left, Zhu Xianming said. The order was put away, and then the minister of the Ministry of Rites came to see him.
A few moments later, an old man in red official robes was led by the eunuch to the Nuan Pavilion.
"Wei ministers come to see Your Majesty"
"Yang Qing is exempted from the ceremony"
"Thank you Your Majesty"
Yang Jintang, the Minister of Rites, is already fifty-three this year, so he must send it.
"Yang Qing has something to do"
"Your Majesty, I have come to see you with something important to report."
Zhu Xianming nodded. , said "My dear, please tell me"
"The Japanese envoy was beaten and injured in the palace, I wonder if your majesty knows about it"
"I am aware of this matter, and now I am ordering people to investigate it strictly "This matter"
Yang Jintang went on to say, "This matter is important and has been spread among envoys from various countries. Just now, the envoys of the Zhasak Khanate approached the Ministry of Rites and made a special trip to report the matter."
When he heard this, Zhu Xianming's eyes flashed with coldness, but then disappeared without a trace.
"The Zasak people are very positive, but I don't know what they are thinking about." Zhu Xianming said indifferently.
"Your Majesty, no matter what their thoughts are, this matter must be handled with caution and an explanation to the people of the world." To be honest, Yang Jintang's words made Zhu Xianming very uncomfortable.
What does it mean to give an account to the people of the world? Does the emperor give an account to the people below?
As an emperor on horseback, Zhu Xianming knew very well that the reason why the countries and tribes surrendered was because of the Ming Dynasty's tyrannical force rather than benevolence. < /p>
So at any time, Ming Dynasty must show his strength instead of killing himself to show weakness.
“Of course there must be an explanation, but I have to wait until the matter is found out. I have already done this. Order Dongchang to take responsibility."
However, this statement also made Yang Jintang dissatisfied, so he said, "Your Majesty, I think this is inappropriate. Such a major matter should be sent to the Ministry to investigate, so that it can be fair."
p>The one who beat him was the emperor's son, so it seemed inappropriate to use royal servants like factory guards to investigate.
Zhu Xianming also realized this, and he was still a good person, so he was very kind. He asked, "According to your wishes, how should we investigate?"
Yang Jintang respectfully said, "Your Majesty can order the Ministry of Punishment to join the Dali Temple of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the three departments will conduct a joint trial to show justice."
In this regard, Zhu Xianming did not express his position, but said leisurely, "Go back and write the notes and see what the cabinet means."
Since we want to be fair and just, we should simply follow through and pass the most formal procedure to decide.
However, the ending of the plot has been decided by Zhu Xianming, and no matter what procedures are in the middle, it will not change.
"I obey the order"
After Yang Jintang stepped down and left, Zhu Xianming thought for a while, and then ordered someone to summon Dai Quan to see him.
As for Zhu Jinghong, after he left the Qianqing Palace, he went directly back to the palace to rest and ordered people to take out his armor and swords for maintenance.
There is a private arsenal in the palace, and he is the only one. This shows how indulgent the emperor is to his legitimate son.
Of course, Zhu Jinghong was not really unworried, so he asked Deng An to take people to find out the news.
"Brother Thirteen, why did you skip class again today?"
Zhu Jinghao led his entourage into the courtyard, his tone seemed very surprised.
Zhu Jinghong was also surprised and asked, "Didn't Mr. yesterday say that he didn't need to go on holiday today?"
Walking to one of the pairs of armors, Zhu Jinghao reached out and touched it, his eyes full of love.
It's a pity that he is not the legitimate son and has a weak sense of presence in front of the emperor. How dare he get into trouble with these things.
"Yesterday, the teacher said that you don't have to go in the morning, and you will have classes as usual in the afternoon. Brother Thirteen, you skipped class again."
Seeing Zhu Jinghong's indifferent expression, Zhu Jinghao reminded him again, " The teacher said that he wanted to report your skipping classes to his father."
"Oh"
Oh, with such a reaction, Zhu Jinghao felt very helpless.
How does he know that Zhu Jinghong is not itchy because of too many lice, so skipping classes is really not a problem. Please remember to collect it. The website is the latest and fastest without anti-theft. To find books and add books for free, you can join the qq group 952868558
