Chapter 529: Thirteen Years of Orthodoxy

As for the palace, after Zhu Xianming’s repeated persuasion, the queen finally agreed to the plan.

Obviously, in the Queen's view, this arrangement is conducive to the harmony of her sons, so she has to agree even if she is reluctant to part with it.

Of course, the so-called reluctance was more because of Zhu Jinghong. As for Lao Liu, she didn't think it mattered.

Only a few days later, news about Zhu Jingyuan taking charge of the Shibo Department began to spread inside and outside the court. This was of course Zhu Xianming's intention.

Prince Zhu Jingyuan was very happy after hearing the news, and immediately summoned a group of bachelors to discuss the matter.

However, most of the bachelors present were not so happy, and they all expressed that they must be careful.

"Isn't it a good thing that Lao Liu was kicked out of Beijing?" Zhu Jingyuan couldn't help but ask.

A bachelor below said, "Your Highness, although it is a good thing, but Prince Rui has real power, I am afraid it will stir up more trouble."

This person summarized it well. Zhu Jingyuan used to host the gathering Xian Guan's book repair can only be used to attract officials to indirectly intervene in affairs.

As in previous years, the Royal New Year is still very busy, with various ceremonies, sacrifices, and greetings

His base is the broadest class of scholar-bureaucrats, and there are no such people Those who supported him would have been deposed long ago, so even if he is not ashamed of these people, he still has to safeguard the interests of these people.

Hearing what Miaoyu said, Zhu Jingyuan was also frightened, but he also agreed with this point of view.

On the contrary, the emperor took some time off. Except for the most important matter of paying homage to the ancestor's mausoleum, all other ceremonies, including offering sacrifices to heaven, were delegated to the prince to preside over.

"Farewell to Your Highness"

After the meeting ended, he came to the inner house and wanted to talk to Yuanchun.

However, it is a pity that Miaoyu was exposed from the beginning. Even if she is doing very well now, she will only be used as a tool.

Only by putting such a prince on the throne and implementing benevolent government can the people of the world live a good life, Miaoyu shouted in her heart.

"Yeah"

Time flies by, the last few days of the twelfth lunar month fly by, and Ming Dynasty enters its thirteenth year of orthodoxy.

Looking at the prince going away, Miaoyu became more determined and vowed to use the power of the entire religion to push the prince to the throne.

"Yes"

Withdrawing the screen, Zhu Jingyuan walked to the Yuanchun Palace alone. When he was about to arrive, he found that his son was asking questions in the east corridor.

"Your Highness, we should have made plans early" Xu Xinan finally spoke.

“It’s not just that they don’t eat well, many people don’t have enough to eat, and people starve to death every day.”

Could it be said that these noble bachelors in my East Palace don’t have enough to eat behind their backs? Clean

"Do they still dare to deceive the emperor?" Zhu Muchun asked in great surprise.

“A wise man will surely make a mistake after all his considerations. Even though Your Majesty is a saint, you will inevitably be deceived by others.”

After many trade-offs and comparisons, the White Lotus Sect took Zhu Jingyuan as its target and then sent Miaoyu.

"Yes, yes, if Prince Rui is allowed to make up charges at will, I'm afraid a disaster is about to happen."

After hundreds of years of practice, the former one has basically proved to be unworkable. , so this second point of view arises.

But it is different now. If he takes charge of the Shipping Department, he can act openly and eradicate dissidents in the name of combating smuggling.

The bachelors discussed together for more than an hour. Although Zhu Jingyuan was irritated, he still endured it patiently.

Leading his son in front of Miaoyu, Zhu Jingyuan said with a smile, "The suffering of the people cannot be known unless you have experienced it yourself. I will explain it to Chun'er more when I have time in the future."

Follow it In the direction Zhu Muchun ran away, Miaoyu saw the prince standing in the distance with his hands behind his back, so she immediately stood up and saluted.

This is the most reasonable explanation that Zhu Jingyuan came up with, and it just gets to the truth of the matter.

Zhu Jingyuan nodded, but this behavior went against his true intentions, so he said nothing more.

"So the common people really cannot eat well every day"

The so-called "support" refers to supporting a truly benevolent king and exerting influence on him to benefit the world. .

How can the descendants of the royal family, born in a deep palace and raised in the hands of women, know the sufferings of the people and understand what the world is like?

"Dad"

After a long period of contact, Miaoyu has completely confirmed that this prince is a completely good person, so she respects him very much at this time.

There are two views within the White Lotus Sect, one is the well-known rebellion, and the other is the new "support".

The relationship between the gentry, government and businessmen on the southeast coast is complicated, and most smuggling matters are done frequently. It is Zhu Jingyuan who has the final say as to what is checked and what is not.

"If you continue, I won't interrupt you."

Zhu Jinghong basically participated in all these processes, and it made him uncomfortable before and after.

Miaoyu doesn’t know all this.

Hearing the comments from the people below, Zhu Jingyuan still didn’t understand why Zhu Jingyuan would be in catastrophe as long as he was found guilty.

Zhu Jingyuan was also very impressive this year. Although his body and bones were still not in good condition, he persisted in the ceremony for more than ten days in a row.

"Does what the officials say must be true?" Miaoyu asked.

"But everyone in the court said that now is a golden age that has never happened in the past. How can someone starve to death in such a prosperous age?"

The old man really wants to pave the way for the prince. This is Zhu Jinghong and Zhu Jingyuan's joint speculation made them both feel urgent.

On the sixteenth day of the first lunar month of the thirteenth year of Zhengtong, which was the first day after the Shangyuan Festival, the emperor officially issued an edict, confirming the scope of powers and responsibilities of the two brothers Zhu Jinghong, and ordered them to Set off for Jinling.

Zhu Jingyuan was on the spotFollowing the imperial edict, he really wanted to get to Jinling as soon as possible and take charge of things as soon as possible to "benefit himself at the expense of others".

In Prince Xiang's Mansion, Zhu Jinghong, who had received the imperial edict, was sitting in the study on the east side of the Yin'an main hall.

In front of him was a bright yellow scroll, which was the imperial edict he had just received.

At this moment, Zhu Jinghong’s eyes were fixed on the imperial edict, his expression gloomy and his eyes extremely unkind.

Fortunately, the eunuchs and maids on duty in the palace have been dismissed at this time, otherwise Zhu Jinghong's appearance would definitely scare people to death.

Others may not dare to enter the Yin'an Palace, but Princess Xue Baochai is not one of them. For example, at this time, she entered the study alone and slowly sat down on the side.

Baochai understands Zhu Jinghong's mood very well. She knows that her man does not want to be manipulated by others and does not want to go to a place where it is difficult to make achievements.

But it is hard to disobey the emperor's order. Now that the imperial edict has been issued, even if he is unwilling, he can only endure it

Just as Baochai was thinking about how Zhu Jinghong should accept the reality, the latter suddenly spoke "You were right before. If the situation in the northwest changes, I may be able to delay it for a while."

If the emperor is determined not to use him, even delaying time will be useless. This Zhu Jinghong knows.

But even so, he still wanted to delay it, because there was no other way.

"How to delay" Baochai asked, while he was thinking about it.

"Either I'm sick or something happens in the house, I won't be able to leave for a while."

After hearing Zhu Jinghong's thoughts, Baochai shook his head slightly, and then said, "I have "An idea"

"Say it quickly"

"The Ministry of Rites has decided that February 26th and March 6th this year are auspicious days for the fourteenth and fifteenth to get married respectively."

"They are your brothers. It would be more appropriate for you to stay and congratulate them in person to delay time."

Hearing Baochai's words, Zhu Jinghong frowned and said, " Congratulations to the two of them are nothing important compared to the emperor's appointment."

What Zhu Jinghong means is that the marriage of Zhu Jingchun and Zhu Jingchun alone is not qualified to delay time. < /p>

Hearing what she said, Zhu Jinghong thought about it carefully and felt that it made sense.

"Then I'll do as you say, I'll go to the palace tomorrow."

Unexpectedly, Baochai shook his head again and said, "It's best to go today. That's what it means to strike while the iron is hot. Going tomorrow seems like I have an agenda."

After nodding slightly, Zhu Jinghong sighed, "If the old man suspects that I am suspicious, I'm afraid that no matter what I do, he will think that I have an agenda."

This is a very heavy topic. At this time, Baochai was not in a hurry to answer. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Whether I believe you or not, I won't be able to tell in a short time. We can only take a look slowly."

Baochai walked up to Zhu Jinghong and slowly put a hat on his head. Baochai said slowly, "Don't delay, let's go into the palace quickly."

"That's fine"

At this time, Zhu Xianming was summoning ministers in the Qianqing Palace, and the person summoned was Lin Ruhai, the censor of Qiandu, the Inspectorate.

"You have been in Jinling for many years and are very aware of the situation of the local gentry. I intend to send you to Jinling to supervise King Rui and King Xiang full-time."

Lin Ruhai answered a series of questions earlier. I never expected that the emperor would arrange it like this.

He is not afraid of returning to Jinling, but he can supervise the errands of the two princes. Just hearing about it makes him feel headache.

How could he, Lin Ruhai, restrain these two masters?

"Your Majesty, I am lacking in talent, so I am afraid that it will be difficult for me to take on this important task. Please give me a favor."

"Oh, dear sir, don't refuse. Since I trust you, you just have to do your best to handle the errands." ”

Here, Zhu Xianming has called himself “I”, which is obviously his decision.

Lin Ruhai understood this and knew that it would be useless to talk too much, so he replied, "I accept the decree."

"I will give you a secret decree. If these two kings violate the rules, You can directly remove him from office."

While Zhu Xianming was speaking, Cheng Ying had already brought out a scroll, which was the so-called secret decree.

Although there was strong support from the emperor, Lin Ruhai still wanted to cry without tears when looking at the secret decree in front of him.

If the two princes were really removed, even if the emperor defended them, it would be difficult to end well in the later stage. Lin Ruhai knew this very well.

To offend these two masters, wouldn’t it be courting death?

After receiving the imperial edict tremblingly, Lin Ruhai had no choice but to kowtow and thank him again, secretly saying that the Zhu family’s kindness was so profitable that it would cost him all his life. Got in.

While Zhu Xianming was telling the details of the errand, a young eunuch came to Cheng Ying and whispered something, and then Cheng Ying reported the situation to the emperor.

When he learned that it was Zhu Jinghong who was asking for a meeting, Zhu Xianming was not anxious at all, but talked to Lin Ruhai in detail.

"Lin Qing, your girl is almost fifteen."

The emperor's sudden question surprised Lin Ruhai and made her alert at the same time.

"Your Majesty, I will be fifteen this year"

"I can find a good match"

"Because I serve the princess, I have not considered marriage yet. "

Nodding, Zhu Xianming said calmly, "She is a good girl, so marriage cannot be careless. You have to choose carefully."

"Thank you, Your Majesty for your love." Lin Ruhai bowed again.

Withdrawing his smile, Zhu Xianming said, "It's nothing, just go back and prepare. We will set off with Lao Liu at the end of the month."

"Yes"

With a big heart Feeling anxious, Lin Ruhai walked out of Qianqing Palace, but met Zhu Jinghong outside, who was chatting with the guards at the moment.

"Lin Yushi, long time no see"

"Meet His Highness"

"No gifts, no gifts"

"After more than a year of training, Lin Yushi is really in good health, so he can take care of His Majesty again. ”

Zhu Jinghong’s casual words almost broke Lin Ruhai’s guard.

I have worked hard to maintain my health. I originally planned to stop being an official and live a good life, but now I am involved in the storm again.

Of course, Lin Ruhai could only think these words in her heart and did not dare to express them at all.

"Your Majesty is so kind to me in this calamity, I should bear it in my heart," Lin Ruhai said solemnly.

After all, Zhu Jinghong was thinking about his daughter, so he thought about saying a few words to get closer, but at this moment Cheng Ying came out of the hall.

"Thirteenth Master, the Lord has called you to an audience."

With Cheng Ying's words, Zhu Jinghong had no choice but to go to the audience first, so he said goodbye to Lin Ruhai.

When Zhu Jinghong entered the palace, he saw the emperor reviewing memorials, so he shouted at the top of his lungs as before, "Dad, my son has something to ask for."

Even though Zhu Xianming didn't want to pay attention to it. , when hearing such a loud sound, he was not allowed to raise his head.

"What's the matter?"

"My son wants to wait a few days before leaving Beijing," Zhu Jinghong said very calmly.

In an instant, Zhu Xianming suspected that this guy might have an agenda, but he still asked "Why?"

"After a while, the fourteenth brother and the others got married. My son grew up with them, and they have a very good relationship, as close as brothers, so I want to congratulate them in person before setting off."

"As close as brothers, aren't you brothers?"

Board He gave Zhu Jinghong a lesson with a straight face, but when he met Zhu Jinghong's sincere eyes, Zhu Xianming believed that he had no agenda.

There is little family affection in the royal family. Since Zhu Jinghong is so interested, it is difficult for Zhu Xianming to object.

Building a naval force is not a day's work, and now that the shipbuilding task has begun, it will not be as late as Zhu Xianming.

After a few breaths of silence, he finally said, "Then you should wait for a month."

I thought it would take some trouble, but I didn't expect to achieve the goal so easily. Zhu Jinghong While feeling comfortable, he also guessed that the emperor might not doubt him.

Maybe he sent himself to Aurous Hill just because he wanted to balance the situation.

"Yes"

Zhu Xianming picked up his pen and continued writing. When Zhu Jinghong wanted to thank his father and leave, he suddenly said, "You have some thoughts about the Lin family girl?"
