1386.Chapter 1386 Kindness and cowardice are just a thin line
The crown prince is in charge of the country!
He finally said it!
When I heard those four words, my breathing stagnated for a moment, and Chang Qing, who was standing in front of me, seemed to be hit by a sudden hurricane, the whole person shook slightly, and I almost couldn't stand on my feet, I hurriedly stepped forward and reached out to support her.
"!"
She heard my whispered call and glanced back at me, her pale face still showing some apprehension, but she immediately calmed herself down and nodded at me.
I nodded my head too.
At this time, he raised his head and looked at Nangong Jinhong, he was obviously not completely unprepared for these four words, so we didn't see a panicked look on his face, but when he looked at Fu Badai, there was a trace of awe in his eyes.
He said softly: "Fu Lao is worthy of Fu Lao. β
Fu Badai said to him with a smile: "How can Lord Nangong not Lord Nangong?"
Hearing the two of them "touting" each other like this, the officials around them were still a little ignorant, and a few even stupidly thought that this matter had been decided like this, and said softly: "The crown prince is indeed the most appropriate way to deal with it at the moment. β
"Only His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can calm people's hearts. β
"I'm waiting for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to take the lead. β
β¦β¦
Listening to what those people said, Zheng chased a few of them in a hurry, and subconsciously wanted to step forward and say something to Nangong Jinhong, but at this time, Nangong Jinhong had already smiled and said: "Lord Fu's mention is good, the crown prince is in charge of the country, and it is indeed the most appropriate way at present." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has followed Master Fu for many years and learned the way of governing the country in the Jixian Palace, and when I think about it, Master Fu is also very confident in his students......
This sentence was not finished.
As I listened, I couldn't help but secretly pinch in my heart, and Fu Badai also looked at him with a smile and said nothing.
"However," Nangong Jinhong said slowly, his voice was not loud or small, but it could just make every corner of the hall be heard by anyone: "I wonder if the ministers of the world have the same confidence in His Royal Highness the Prince?"
As soon as these words came out, none of the officials who spoke just now reacted.
And immediately, an old imperial historian came out and said worriedly: "The crown prince is indeed the most appropriate way to do it at present, but if the method is right, it may not be able to solve the problem." Master Fu, the prince is still a minor after all!"
At this time, another old minister also said: "Yes, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not completely familiar with the government affairs, not to mention, the current situation is so complicated, let a child deal with the government affairs, I'm afraid-"
Nangong Jinhong lost no time in saying slowly: "I'm afraid, the world will be in chaos." β
His summary of the word was like a judgment, and everyone was shocked by the words "the world is in chaos", and they showed a somewhat frightened look.
At this moment, Chang Qing's breathing tightened again.
The two old ministers who just stood up to speak are not from Nangong Jinhong's camp, they are not even from any camp, it is precisely because of this that the words they said are fair, and they are indeed the problems we were worried about before, and we have to face now.
The prince's qualifications are too shallow, and there is no way to fully assume the responsibility of supervising the country!
I looked at Fu Badai, although his mention was questioned by everyone, but he was still the old god, and even kept nodding slightly, as if to understand their doubts, at this time, he had been holding him by his side Zha Bixing said impatiently: "What are you talking about so much?
Everyone was slightly surprised.
Indeed, it is easy to create the fact that one thing has been discussed for a long time, but perhaps the central figure has not appeared, and even he himself is unaware. Fu Badai immediately stretched out his hand and slapped him fiercely, scolding: "Above the court, how can you have a lot of mouth!"
Chabixing was beaten by him and grinned, and he was quiet again.
Then, Fu Badai raised his head with a smile and said to everyone: "However, this is also reasonable, if you don't let it go, please ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to discuss this matter together." β
After speaking, he nodded at us, and I hurriedly turned around and glanced at Duke Yu.
After a while, Prince Nianshen walked into the main hall.
He was dressed in a neat and solemn formal suit, although he was still young, but he acted in a gentleman's style, walked into the hall, faced with the burning eyes of those civil and military officials, he was not afraid, and came forward to salute Chang Qing and Fu Badai, Chang Qing made him flat, and then said: "Prince, do you know what the palace and the important ministers of the court are here today, what are you discussing?"
Nian Shen said softly: "Just now, Erchen has already heard about it. β
"Very well, so what do you think of yourself?"
Nian Shen raised his head to look at Chang Qing, and there was a hint of worry on his childish face: "Queen Mother, Erchen wants to know first what the condition of my father is." Yan zhΓ²ng?"
ββ¦β¦β
To be honest, none of us expected that he would be the first to ask this question.
Everyone was waiting to deal with the immediate problem with the "crown prince supervising the country", or there would be a bigger change, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he cared about the emperor and his father's body.
Chang Qing was also stunned for a moment, and immediately said: "Your father-the emperor-he is just unwell, and he will get better soon." β
Nian Shen breathed a sigh of relief: "Then, Erchen will rest assured." β
Chang Qing was about to continue the question just now, but Nangong Jinhong was already smiling beside him and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really generous and benevolent!"
Chang Qing frowned slightly.
For the evaluation of a prince, the words generosity and benevolence are actually very subtle, because although generosity is a virtue that a prince must have, on the other hand, benevolence and cowardice are only a thin line.
Coupled with the problems they were worried about just now, "the prince is young" and "he is not familiar with government affairs", this time, I saw that the faces of several old ministers around me became heavy.
I stood next to me, anxious, but I couldn't speak rashly, I only gently pulled Chang Qing's sleeve, she came back to her senses, and immediately said to Nian Shen: "Emperor, what this palace just asked you - now your father Emperor Long's body is sick, and he can't handle the government for the time being, but the country can't be without a king for a day, so your teacher, Master Fu proposed that you be in charge of the country, what do you think of it?"
Nian Shen straightened his robe and said solemnly: "The son was favored by his father and made him the crown prince, and he should be loyal and filial to his father and make a modest contribution to the society." β
"Well said!" Zheng on the side caught up and said, "It is rare for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to have such intentions. β
A few of us looked at him cautiously, and we heard him look at Nianshen, and said in a somewhat harsh tone: "Weichen dares to ask His Royal Highness the Prince, His Highness can see the twists and turns of the imperial study?"
Nian Shen said: "Naturally, I have seen it. β
"So, can you approve the recital?"
"Thisβmy father only taught me how to read the recitals, annotations, but no. β
"Then does Your Highness know how many of the household departments are now in the imperial study, and how many unfinished things are involved in the middle of the court?"
Nian Shen was stunned.
Without waiting for him to react, Zheng Chai continued: "How much tax is collected in the Liangjiang Valley this year, how many expenses are divided, how much is received by the Ministry of Industry, how much is received by the Ministry of Rites, how much is received by the Ministry of Officials, and what is the use of each, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knows?"
Nian Shen was stunned again.
Zheng Chai's series of questions did indeed knock him down.
I know that for so many years, Fu Badai, or his senior brother Liu Qinghan, has been teaching him, but what Jixian Hall teaches will not be the ability to deal with a specific matter, but the great virtue and conduct; these days, he entered the imperial court, followed Pei Yuanhao to learn to deal with government affairs, and even watched the twists and turns, but after all, he was really young, and it was impossible to remember all the government affairs in his mind.
Zheng Chai used these specific court affairs to ask questions, making it clear that he wanted to ask him!
Seeing this, Nangong Jinhong next to him smiled faintly, and then said to Fu Badai: "It seems that although the crown prince is the most appropriate way to deal with the country at the moment, the prince is young and completely unfamiliar with the government and politics. Master Fu's mention of yΓ¬ is undoubtedly to hang the country and the society on the fire, and in the eyes of this official, it is really inappropriate. β
"Yes," an old minister next to him also walked out and said slowly: "Queen Mother, it seems that the old minister is young, and he is really embarrassed by this big responsibility!"
I almost couldn't help but speak, but as soon as the words came out, Fu Badai, who had been standing there quietly and with a smile, said again: "I don't know, what else do you adults think?"
Nangong Jinhong glanced around.
Before, Fang Tongting and Zheng Chai could help them create an atmosphere and even force the prince, but at this time, there were some things that only he could say.
So, he said slowly: "In fact, before this, everyone also knew that the emperor had set up an inner court, and many affairs in the court were implemented after the inner court was discussed. β
ββ¦β¦β
"And the crown prince prison country proposed by Master Fu just now, in the eyes of this official, it is also a proper solution. β
ββ¦β¦β
So, Xia Guan thought of a way. β
Chang Qing's brows were already slightly twisted: "Lord Nangong, you have something to say." β
Nangong Jinhong said: "The deliberations of the inner court are set up by the emperor and must not be abolished, and the crown prince is in charge of the country, so the lower officials think that it is better to combine the two into one." β
Fu Badai smiled and said, "How about it, two into one?"
Nangong Jinhong said: "The inner court discussion of politics still cannot be abolished, and the prince has also entered the scope of the inner court discussion." β
ββ¦β¦β
We looked at him and didn't say a word.
He continued: "However, for the sake of fairness and for the sake of propriety, it is necessary to be open and brainstorming. Therefore, the official believes that the inner court should be expanded. β
