Chapter Twenty-Seven: Zhu Jianjun's Decision

Shengming has no fault with His Majesty. This sentence is the eulogy of many courtiers.

But it also illustrates a political fact.

That is, the emperor is never wrong, and if there is a mistake, refer to the previous sentence.

This political tradition has been passed down from the Han Dynasty to the Han Dynasty.

There is this political tradition, so the Son of Heaven admits that he is wrong, which is the so-called guilty edict, which is so earth-shattering. Generally speaking, the emperor will never easily issue an edict against himself, and his courtiers will not let the emperor issue an edict.

Many things, even if they are the emperor's decisions, but if they cause serious consequences, there are many ministers who are willing to take the initiative to bear the fault for the emperor.

Bear the blame for the emperor. There may be a problem at the time, but as long as you don't get crushed to death by the black pot all at once, it will generally pay off.

And the crown prince as a vice-monarch.

The power and rules that the emperor has are also present in the crown prince.

Therefore, if the prince undertakes this matter, even if Yaomin has the intention of rebellion, Guangxi will find a way to appease him.

The crown prince's political achievements must not be damaged.

Even if something really goes wrong, it is estimated that local officials will take the initiative to take the blame for the prince.

Under normal circumstances, there is no problem with the prince's decision, of course, if the heir is tragic, it is another problem.

Ye Sheng saw Zhu Jianjun asking like this, and immediately said: "Your Highness wants to show kindness to the Yao people, and sincerely benefit the Yao people." ”

Zhu Jianjun said: "Mr. Ye is really ------" Zhu Jianjun was not too satisfied in the face of such a calculation.

Ye Sheng said: "Your Highness, if you are not a minister, you really can't suppress the generals with the prestige of your ministers, and you can't win the trust of the Yao people. ”

"If Lord Han is here, maybe it will work, but it's a pity."

Ye Sheng is a substitute after all, at least among the generals, such as Mao Sheng, these people are not too convinced by him, the generals have won the battle, but they want to be rewarded, they can't wait to kill all the Yao people and report the first-level merit.

Although in the evaluation of the Ming Dynasty, the heads of the northern captives are the most valuable, and the heads of the south are not worth at all, but the large amount is also full.

If you can't suppress these generals, you can't let Yaomin trust him, this thing can't be done at all.

Zhu Jianjun said: "If Lone orders to be appeased, then what are you going to do, or what is Governor Han's last plan?" ”

Ye Sheng said: "Governor Han, he intends to set up a state in Bixi, choose the surname of Yao Min as Tusi, and garrison a group of soldiers and horses here, the first to ensure the smooth passage of the Qianjiang River, cut the Dateng Bridge, and divide the Dateng Gorge into two parts, north and south. Second, it is to order the Yao people to govern Yao, let the Tusi soldiers control more than 30 Zhuangzi along the Bixi, and use this to recruit troops, you can get thousands, these soldiers are all Yao people, familiar with the road in the mountains of Dateng Gorge, even if there is a rebellion in Dateng Gorge, so that this Tusi can be destroyed. Third, the Datengxia trade route is unimpeded, which can make Bixi an important node for the transshipment of the Qianjiang River. Yaomin can also live because of the Qianjiang River, transfer mountain goods, and sell them in Guangdong. Or for the wolf soldiers, for the use of the imperial court. ”

"In this way, the Yao people of Datengxia have three layers of shackles, the first shackle is the livelihood, the livelihood is made by the imperial court, the second shackle is the toast, Bixi Tusi is the support of the imperial court, it is impossible not to rely on the imperial court, and the third is the surrounding guards and inspection divisions, even if the toast plots chaos, it is impossible to break the third layer of shackles."

"After decades like this, the Han people breed, there are many Han people and few Yao people, and there are all kinds of people in Datengxia, so there is nothing to be afraid of."

Han Yong has been grinding here in Datengxia for three years, and it is not that he has not done anything. If Han Yong's mother can live for another year or two, Datengxia will inevitably be summed up in Han Yong's hands.

Now it can only be said that it is a pity.

Han Yong's peaches are about to be picked by Ye Sheng.

However, Zhu Jianjun didn't have time to think about Han Yong's pity. At this moment, he was moved by Ye Sheng's words, but another layer of worry welled up in his heart.

It's just that this layer of worry is not something that can be discussed with Ye Sheng.

Zhu Jianjun said: "This matter is very important, let me think about it." ”

Ye Sheng was very interested in seeing that Zhu Jianjun was actually thoughtful, but it was not what he should ask, so he naturally bowed and retired.

Zhu Jianjun summoned his two friends.

One is Zhang Mao, and the other is Yu Mian.

Zhu Jianjun told this matter one by one and asked the two of them what they meant.

Yu Mian said: "Your Highness thinks twice, in the opinion of the minister, His Royal Highness should report this matter to His Majesty, and with His Majesty's knowledge, he will definitely agree to His Highness's request, in this way, there is a holy order in hand, Guangxi up and down, who dares to disagree?" ”

"It won't make Your Majesty feel that His Highness is acting on his own."

"Monarch and minister, father and son, monarch and minister in front, father and son in the back."

Yu Mian obviously said that Zhu Jianjun's heart was in trouble.

The crown prince is the vice-monarch, but the prince is the emperor after all. The so-called family is father and son, and the matter is the monarch and minister, the father and son of the heavenly family are already difficult to get along, and if it is between the prince and the emperor, it is even more difficult to get along. Now that he is an emperor in his prime, how to get along with a prince who has become an adult is a great knowledge.

Zhu Jianjun understood very well that the emperor asked him to come and see it, and did not let him do things.

It seems that only eyes and no mouth are the most appropriate way, but the sense of responsibility in his heart makes Zhu Jianjun unable to sit still.

But there is a joint, but Zhu Jianjun didn't figure it out.

That is, what kind of attitude should we get along with Your Majesty?

It's better to be silent than to be silent, to restrain your edge and do nothing, or to show your father his ability.

That's the key to the roots. In this regard, Zhang Mao is much better than Yu Mian.

To be honest, Yu Mian's qualifications and abilities are much worse than his father's, otherwise Yu Qian would not have arranged for Yu Mian to go to the water conservancy trainee. This is why Yu Qian thinks that Yu Mian will not achieve anything in the imperial examination in his life.

Yu Mian is also politically insensitive, and his answer is just honest, not new at all.

Zhang Mao is different.

Zhang Mao was young and precocious, and he grew up beside Zhang Fu. In the last few years, Zhang Fu almost taught Zhang Mao a lot of things by words and deeds.

Zhang Mao didn't understand what it meant at the time, but as Zhang Mao grew up day by day, he understood what Zhang Fu had been teaching at the beginning.

is not only a heavy father's love, but also many angles to look at the court, and most importantly, Zhang Fu's analysis of His Majesty today.

After all, Zhang Fu grew up watching His Majesty today, and his understanding of today is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Zhang Mao pondered for a while, recalled his father's teachings, and said, "Your Highness, this thing can be done. ”

Zhu Jianjun looked at Zhang Mao, ready to listen to him continue.

Zhang Mao said: "Your Highness, why do you think Your Majesty needs people today? ”

Zhu Jianjun said: "A generation of holy monarchs, even the Qin Emperor and Han Wu are not as good as it. Zhu Jianjun said, although there are some sons who worship their fathers, but some of them are real feelings.

After all, since ancient times, there have been several monarchs who can seal the wolf Juxu and Le Shi Yanran, and just by virtue of the merits of establishing Dragon City, they can be regarded as the number one person in the five thousand years.

Zhang Mao said: "Your Majesty today, with lofty ambitions, has been like a day for decades, is not good for beauty, is not good for dogs and horses, and is diligent in political affairs every day, and the people who plan are big." ”

"So Your Majesty, what kind of prince do you want?"

Zhu Jianjun immediately understood and said, "Those who can inherit the great politics of the imperial court." ”

Zhang Mao said: "That's true, Your Majesty uses the strengths of people, sacrifices the shortcomings of people, Shiheng, the prince of Zhongguo, is flying and domineering, and the people are known as the king of Mobei, and it seems that Longcheng is regarded as a fief, but His Majesty still did not move him." ”

"Because Your Majesty wants to use him to guard the northern frontier."

"Your Majesty is only worried that Your Highness will not be able to support the imperial court, and you will never be angry because Your Highness interferes in local political affairs."

"Because Your Majesty has never been a rule-runner."

"Even if Your Highness doesn't dare to take a step beyond the Lei Chi, I'm afraid Your Majesty will be worried."

As for what to worry about. Zhang Mao didn't say it, but Zhu Jianjun already understood, he nodded and said, "Lone knows what to do." ”

He immediately sent for all the generals.

In the previous meetings, others came to invite the prince, but at this moment, it was the first time that Zhu Jianjun had convened everyone, which represented the transposition of the host and guest. Zhu Jianjun wanted to express his thoughts at this meeting.
