Chapter 9 Jian Gong

The national mourning is 100 days, the Son of Heaven replaces the month with the day, and observes filial piety for 27 days. Even though Zhu Qizhen is already the emperor, what he has to do is not to deal with political affairs, but to do his son's filial piety and stay with Zhu Qiyu for the twenty-seven days before the Zi Palace.

Of course, filial piety is not necessary every day.

Under normal circumstances, Zhu Qizhen follows the Queen Mother, no, and now the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother, has all kinds of experience in handling political affairs.

Zhu Qizhen held the hand of the Empress Dowager with his small hand, and Wang Zhen and the female officials beside the Empress Dowager followed behind, taking a slow walk in the garden of Cining Palace.

The Empress Dowager said: "The matter of Shanling is too hasty. This is also something that there is no way to do, who would have thought that it would be so urgent, but it is also necessary to order it to go on, not to be in a hurry. Emperor Renzong and Emperor Daxing both love the people like sons, and they would rather take a longer time than let the people get out of trouble. If it hurts Emperor Daxing's love for the people, the mourning family doesn't know how to see Emperor Renzong underground. ”

Wang Zhengong said respectfully: "The slave knows. The meaning of the cabinet is to levy more people, with Fengcheng Marquis Li Xian, eunuch Mu Jing, Ministry of Industry Shangshu Wu Zhong, and squire Cai Xin to supervise 100,000 workers. I think it will be built in a few months. ”

The Empress Dowager sighed and said to Zhu Qizhen: "These decent things have to be done, it is too hard for the people and money, you have to remember this matter, you must prepare early in the future, otherwise it will hurt the people's strength too much." ”

"My grandson knows." Zhu Qizhen said.

Today, the major event of the imperial court is the national funeral, and among the national mourning, the matter of the mountain tomb is the most onerous. Zhu Qizhen has also seen it and presented a map of the mountains.

Zhu Qizhen estimated that this amount of work is equivalent to rebuilding a Forbidden City in Tianshou Mountain. In normal times, more than 10,000 people will be mobilized to build for a few years, or decades. It's a little bit of movement.

However, this project will be completed in a few months, but it will be desperately rushed, and it is very normal to fill in a few lives with the construction technology of this year.

It's just that whether it is as the empress dowager or as a mother, she can't tolerate her son to stop and be buried in peace.

The Empress Dowager continued to ask Wang Zhen and said, "Is there anything else in the cabinet?" ”

In today's system, Wang Zhen's power has been strengthened the most.

The Empress Dowager did not have the heart of the imperial system, so she could not frequently receive ministers, and all the government affairs were sorted out by the cabinet in the form of a recital, with handling opinions, and handed over to the palace.

Wang Zhen dealt with these twists and turns again, and the major events naturally had to be reported to the Empress Dowager to know, but some small things, or precedents, Wang Zhen could directly approve them.

After all, if the Empress Dowager is about to deal with all the twists and turns, she is afraid that she will be the same as Zhu Yuanzhang.

In this way, there is a very important power in Wang Zhen's hands, that is, the order of reporting things, and deciding whether this matter is a big or small matter.

Don't feel like it's a trifle.

After all, the Empress Dowager is the Empress Dowager, she has come over through ups and downs, she is well-informed, and the ministers outside Sanyang, Zhang Fu and other ministers all respect the Empress Dowager, although the Empress Dowager does not deal with all the twists and turns, but if there is a big event, it can't hide it from her.

But it may not be possible to change another emperor.

Whatever the eunuch wants the emperor to know, and what he doesn't want the emperor to know, can be operated.

This is what the minister hates the most, blinding Shengcong.

But now Wang Zhen didn't have this idea, he was trembling, and he didn't dare to hide it. immediately said: "The hospital reported that the prince and the young master were still in the book, and the prince was no longer done." ”

The Empress Dowager, who was walking slowly, suddenly stopped and said, "Jian Yi is also old. ”

Zhu Qizhen could even feel the sadness emanating from the Empress Dowager. said: "Grandma doesn't have to be sad, I want to come to Jian Gongji people have their own natural appearance." ”

The Empress Dowager said: "When the age is up, the gods are difficult to save." Let's go and visit my father-in-law. He has assisted your grandfather and father for two generations, worked hard, and has a relationship with the royal family, and has always been a loyal elder. Always give him a decent look. ”

This is also an unspoken rule, the emperor can't easily visit his courtiers, and generally visits his courtiers, just knowing that this courtier is no longer good. Otherwise, it would be urging him to die.

"The grandson obeys." Zhu Qizhen said.

The Empress Dowager said: "There are some words, you can also ask him, after all, people are about to die, and their words are also good." ”

"My grandson understands." Zhu Qizhen said

The emperor's exit from the palace is never a trivial matter. Especially Zhu Qizhen. After all, he is still young, and in the eyes of many people, he needs protection.

Therefore, as soon as he left the palace, there were about 1,000 people in the brocade guards, Han generals, and even the guard of honor of the guards.

Zhu Qizhen did not go out of the palace from the main gate of the palace, but from the Donghua Gate, and along the way, the Jinyi guards blocked the street and stopped pedestrians. It was almost five steps, one post, ten steps and one sentry, and the people avoided it one after another.

If they can't avoid it for a while, some people kneel on the ground, not daring to raise their heads, and only dare to get up after the convoy has passed.

Zhu Qizhen rode in a carriage, but this carriage was not a jade chariot.

The jade chariot is only used for major ceremonies, but even so, the carriage that Zhu Qizhen rode in was quite exquisite. The inside of the car is like a small room. However, Zhu Qizhen opened the small curtain above the car window. Look outside.

I saw that it was dusty outside, and there was a feeling that made Zhu Qizhen familiar.

It's a feeling of construction.

From Yongle, Hongxi, Xuande three dynasties have not completed the construction of the Beijing City Project, is still continuing. Although it cannot be compared with later generations in terms of construction methods, this feeling seems to be almost the same as that of the construction project from the 80s to the beginning of his crossing.

It is all brought about by the rise of a country's national strength.

Zhu Qizhen can feel a familiar feeling in the state of these people.

However, it is not too far from the palace to the Jian Gongfu. And they are all the essence of Beijing City, which has been almost built. After a while, he came to the door of the Jian Gong's Mansion.

The Jian Gongfu is just a three-entry quadrangle.

As the Empress Dowager said, Jian Gong is a minister of the society, busy with the country, and busy with his life. The compound was too rudimentary compared to his status.

There were a few people kneeling at the door to greet Zhu Qizhen. These people are all descendants of Jian Gong. Seeing this, Zhu Qizhen calmed them down and said, "The two families are relatives, and I will come to visit Jian Gong today and in the future." ”

Princess Shangrenzong, the son of Jian Gong, is Zhu Qizhen's uncle, but God does not bless good people, and the princess and the concubine have already gone. But the relationship between the two families is also extraordinary. Zhu Qizhen exchanged a few words with them, and then hurriedly entered the inner courtyard to see his father.

After entering the inner room, Zhu Qizhen immediately asked A strong smell of medicine, but he saw an old man who was deeply immersed in a heavy futon, and he didn't seem to be able to see the outline of the old man's body, but it could also be seen from the old man's face and palms that he was extremely thin.

"The oil is out of the lamp." These four words rushed into Zhu Qizhen's heart, he leaned up lightly, and said: "Jian Gong, Jian Gong, Jian Gong." ”

The old man listened to Zhu Qizhen's call, opened his eyes gently, turned his gaze slightly, turned to Zhu Qizhen's face, suddenly shook his spirit, and forced himself to get up, and said in an official dialect with a thick Sichuan accent: "Your Majesty." ”

Zhu Qizhen hurriedly pressed Gong Jian and said: "Gong Jian lie down, I just came to see Gong Jian, I ascended the throne at a young age, and there is no support in all directions, what I can rely on is an old minister like Gong Jian, Gong Jian should get better and assist me well." ”

Zhu Qizhen's words were actually kind words.

But in Jian Gong's ears, he didn't think so.

Jian Gong experienced five dynasties, in the Hongwu Jianwen Dynasty was not in the center of power, but after entering Yongle, for Yongle to value, Hong Xi Xuande father and son inheritance, the relationship between the monarch and the minister is extremely harmonious, and even the youngest son is still the princess. It is by no means an ordinary feeling, he saw that Zhu Qizhen was a nine-year-old child, a new treasure, and state affairs were still in turmoil, and when he needed an old minister like him, he went instead.

I feel that it is too inappropriate to die in my heart, so I can do something good if it drags on for a year, and then for a year.

He forced the children and grandchildren around him to retreat, and said: "Your Majesty, I know my own body and bones, and it is long gone. At such an age, even if he dies, he will not die young, but he can't rest assured that His Majesty will listen to me. ”
