Chapter 196: Turning the Eye
What Zhu Zhanji said again, Gao Chi couldn't hear it clearly, and he also fell headlong and fainted.
Zhang Zhaohua just walked around with Hu in the East Palace and came back, only to see Zhu Zhanji and Gao Chi coming back, and Gao Chi was carried back, and the two of them had the same face, blue and purple, as if a mouthful of thick phlegm stuck in the trachea.
Sheng Yin pricked Gao Chi a few times, and a bowl of decoction went down, Gao Chi finally regained his consciousness in a sweat, but he still had to kneel back to Fengtian Palace, because the emperor had not yet woken up.
"Forget it," Zhang Zhaohua stopped him, she had already heard Zhu Zhanji say everything just now: "If the emperor gets up and sees you, I'm afraid he will be even more angry, so it's better not to see you." ”
Gao Chi snorted a few times, and then looked at Zhang Zhaohua, Zhang Zhaohua already knew what he was going to say: "Don't say anything that is tiring, which time is not dragged down by your unconcealed mouth, this time I knew it would be like this, then I saw that it was to your heart, although you have been like a prince of clay and paper paste for so many years, it seems that you have succumbed, in fact, there is no at all, isn't it? Alas, it is better to erupt your dormant volcano sooner or later, otherwise I will always be worried." ”
Zhang Zhaohua was already strong, Gao Chi may be even stronger than her, and she can be regarded as having figured it out. For so many years, it was not Zhang Zhaohua who used himself, his children, and the people in the East Palace to net him and suppress him with filial piety, so that he would not get into trouble with the emperor to the point where he is today. But as she said, Gao Chi is a dormant volcano, and sooner or later it will erupt.
Zhu Zhanji didn't mean that his mother didn't complain at all, it was different from the past, and he suddenly said urgently: "The imperial grandfather has said that he wants to abolish the establishment......"
"Alas," Zhang Zhaohua sighed: "It's been so many years, have you said less?"
The emperor and Gao Chi are actually differences in political ideas, and there is no way to find common ground for this kind of difference, and if you insist on saying one, they all hope that the Ming Dynasty will be prosperous and the people will be rich and happy. You can't say that the emperor is wrong with Gao Chi, and you can't say that the emperor is wrong with Gao Chi, in fact, such two generations with differences are absolutely beneficial to the development of the Ming Dynasty. One tightens the strings, and the other loosens. The emperor drove Daming's car for a ride, and Gao Chi stopped to refuel the car and repair the tires in the future. That's a good thing.
"Your Highness," Wang An said, "I asked Xiao Yi to see him outside." ”
"Xiao Yi?" Zhu Zhanji said angrily: "He still dares to come? It's just that he has made our family unhappy, and he still doesn't give up, do you have to watch the father and son turn against each other?"
He pinched the horsewhip and got up, Zhang Zhaohua hurriedly stopped: "Don't mess around, it's not a person's problem!"
"It's not their problem, whose problem is it?" Zhu Zhanji said angrily: "They jumped up and down, unwilling to move the capital, but they used their father as a shield, this time they saw that their father made the emperor angry, and they don't know how to rejoice!"
"I didn't use them as a shield," Gao Chi said weakly: "They are all people who want to maintain the ancestral system, since the problem is still to be discussed in the end, how can they watch your imperial grandfather give up Nanjing, the capital of the emperor's kingship?"
"Father, do you know that when you stand up this time, you are supporting them, and they will not understand how difficult it is for you to be the prince," Zhu Zhanji said: "They will only become more and more unscrupulous under your protection, treating you as a sword and stabbing the imperial grandfather!"
Zhang Zhaohua said: "Your father has been the prince for so many years, and how many times he has been in danger, and this group of people has stood at the forefront of the abolition, forgetting life and death, and protecting the East Palace. They are kind to our family, how can your father turn a blind eye?"
"If they really protect the East Palace, they should know that they can't trap the East Palace in unfilial piety and injustice," Zhu Zhanji couldn't help but roar: "They shouldn't have angered the emperor and caused a big disaster, but let the crown prince take the responsibility! Or are these people your father's supporters, and you can't lose their support for you!"
Zhang Zhaohua was furious: "Bastard, how did you talk to your father!"
Gao Chi was also stunned for a moment, before he lifted the strength of his whole body and said: "I, the prince, always have to rely on the ministers, you think I can't lose them, because if I lose them, the position of the prince will be done...... But let me tell you, it doesn't matter whether I am the prince or not, as long as I am in this position for one day, I will bear the responsibility of the prince of his country. Do you think the prince is just keeping his position for the future?"
"I only know that the prince is based on cultivating virtue. Zhu Zhanji said coldly: "Any decision that goes against the emperor is right and wrong!"
Gao Chi said: "Do you think that when I tell the truth, I just have a non-divisive thought? Is it because I want to sit firmly on this chair under my ass that I can turn a blind eye to the plight of the country and the difficulties of the people?"
"Out of filial piety," Zhu Zhanji said: "If you say this, others can say it, but you just can't say it!"
"Yes, I am the emperor's son," Gao Chi said: "But I am not only his son, I am also the prince of the country!
"Speaking of which," Zhu Zhanji didn't seem to listen, "you are the same as them, they don't want to go to Beijing, because they don't want to leave their hometowns, because they know that if they go to Beijing, the power of the southerners will not be so great......
The power of the southerners in the court was too great, especially in Jiangxi and Zhejiang. The move of the capital to Beijing is absolutely beneficial to the northerners and weakens the power of the southerners; how can these people not know? Who can give up the power they have acquired? However, Zhu Zhanji's remark obviously meant something, and he was saying that the crown prince was also worried that he would lose his power if he left Nanjing.
Gao Chi was in charge of the country for a long time, and his political influence was not great in the north, but it was great in the south of the Yangtze River, and the southerners also tended to support him as the heir to the people's livelihood, because the emperor fought wars for many years, and all the grain and grass were transferred from the south of the Yangtze River. However, as a huge consumer city, Jingshi's large demand for materials could not be solved nearby, and it had to rely on the Grand Canal to transfer it from the south of the Yangtze River.
So in the eyes of the southerners, Beijing is like opening its bloody mouth and sucking the blood of Jiangnan.
When this sentence came out, Gao Chi didn't move, Zhang Zhaohua couldn't bear it anymore, she raised her hand and slapped Zhu Zhanji hard: "You actually said that about your father! Your father raised you so big, where am I sorry for you!"
This slap seemed to set Zhu Zhanji on fire, and he roared like a lion: "He didn't feel sorry for me, why did he only ask me to obey him, did he obey the imperial grandfather? I will treat him like he treats the imperial grandfather!"
"Since I was a child, I have been raised under the knees of the imperial grandfather," Zhu Zhanji said: "He did not give me any protection, but asked me to go to the East Palace to protect me! I am among the imperial grandfather and him, and I am more careful than a eunuch! Am I still the noble imperial grandson of the Ming Dynasty?"
"Mother, don't you complain after so many years?" Zhu Zhanji said: "If he didn't have to be screwed with the imperial grandfather, how could our East Palace be in turmoil and in danger? Every time he provoked the imperial grandfather to anger, the ministers outside didn't know how many people were hanging, you and I lowered our eyebrows and made amends in front of the imperial grandfather, what about him, there is nothing wrong with what he does, because he is a good prince who worries about the country and the people!"
