Chapter Seventy-Five: The First Confidant Yu Qian

Zhu Qizhen said that he wanted to go by himself, but he really let Zhu Qizhen go by himself.

Not to mention anything else, once Zhu Qizhen fell into the water, they couldn't escape to death.

However, since Zhu Qizhen said so, the hundreds of people around Zhu Qizhen have decreased a lot.

Only Shi Jing, Wang Zhen, and Yu Qian followed.

Ruan An consciously led people to survey the terrain and chose where to start digging ditches to divert water and level the land.

After all, there are only a few days left before spring ploughing.

Zhu Qizhen was walking by the lake, and suddenly saw a big stone, which abruptly went deep into the lake, like the head of a turtle. Zhu Qizhen walked up and suddenly said, "Shi Jing, Wang Daban, you are guarding the shore." I have something to say to Mr. Yu. ”

Shi Jing didn't think about it and left immediately. Wang Zhen glanced at Yu Qian deeply, and it seemed that Yu Qian was among the candidates who could not be offended.

The two of them stood in the distance, and they could see the figures of Zhu Qizhen and Yu Qian, but they couldn't hear clearly.

Wang Zhen was a little anxious, and asked Shi Jing: "What do you say to Master Yu?" ”

Shi Jing said with an indifferent face: "I don't know, but the prince, Your Majesty is Your Majesty, not the Master." ”

Wang Zhen listened, looked at Shi Jing as if he didn't say anything, and understood in his heart that the eunuchs in the palace called the prince Xiaoye, and the emperor the emperor.

Now no one else will call Zhu Qizhen a master. Only Wang Zhen sometimes calls it that.

Wang Zhen is silently reflecting, and the conversation between Zhu Qizhen and Yu Qian is also on topic.

Zhu Qizhen asked Yu Qian and said, "Mr. Yu, what do you think of Elder Yang Ge and Emperor Renzong?" ”

Yu Qian said: "The monarch and the minister have a good story. ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "When Emperor Renzong was in the palace, he collected all the talents from all over the world. It's a pity that the day is not a holiday. The Empress Dowager often thought of Emperor Renzong and taught me to be in harmony with the three elders. ”

"Gentlemen and ministers get along."

"It's just that I'm not Emperor Renzong."

Yu Qian listened, and his heart tightened.

After only one day by Zhu Qizhen's side, Yu Qian no longer dared to look at Zhu Qizhen as a child. Connived at the seemingly emperor, but now has no power.

The power is on the side of the Queen Mother.

But the emperor is the emperor after all, and naturally has great power to dominate the entire imperial court.

In Yu Qian's opinion, although the emperor seems to be mature now, he actually doesn't know how to use this power, otherwise the empress dowager would not be able to restrain him.

Once the emperor has thoughts about Yang Shiqi and the others, and indulges them to have nothing to do for a while, there will be things in the future. Yu Qian immediately said: "Since Hongxi, the important ministers of Renzong Qiandi have made meritorious contributions to the world. Elder Yang Ge is also loyal to His Majesty. ”

When Zhu Qizhen heard Yu Qian say this, he immediately smiled and said: "Mr. Yu, you are a faint monarch for me, and the three pavilion elders are the Dinghai Divine Needle of the Ming Dynasty." How can I think of the three elders. ”

"It's just that Yang Ge is old, and they are all old."

"How many years can you support me?"

"What I want is not Yang Ge Lao, but Yang Ge Lao, who is like a family member in the palace and can rule the world. Yang Ge Lao and Renzong's father and emperor may not be a lie of the monarch and ministers, but I don't want my father and ancestor to be beautiful, my father and ancestor have Hong Xuan's old minister, and I must also have an orthodox prime minister. ”

"Mr. Yu is my prime minister."

Yu Qian knelt on the ground when he heard this, and said: "The minister dare not be like this, Taizu has an order not to re-establish the prime minister." ”

Zhu Qizhen hurriedly helped him up and said: "Why does Mr. Yu need to be like this, the situation is different, today is not what it used to be, and today's trend, Mr. Yu knows better than me, I don't know how many things there are, I have to do it, not to mention anything else, just the matter of the guard, it makes me unable to sleep at night." ”

"If you don't cheer up, how many years will it take for the Northern Capture Army to come to the city of Beijing?"

Yu Qian said: "Even so, the minister does not dare to take on this heavy responsibility. ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "Why should Mr. be like this, the fierce general is in the army, and the prime minister is in the county." Since Mr. came out, where he has been in office, he has ruled Qingping and the people love him, does Mr. only love the people of one place, but not the people of the world? Besides, I am still young, and I have been in power for some years, and what I promise is only the future. Don't you even have the heart to do it? ”

Yu Qian said: "I am willing to die for Your Majesty." ”

Yu Qian was moved in his heart, but he also understood in his heart that in the current situation, he couldn't even think of the emperor's iron. No one will believe it.

Zhu Qizhen finally helped him up and said, "Don't hide it from Mr. Yu, the official of the Shuntian Prefect was still invited by me to the Empress Dowager." ”

"Although I am young, I also know that I can't be raised in the deep palace, I don't know the suffering of the world, only as a pro-people official, can I know where the people's suffering is."

"I hope that Mr. Yu, on behalf of my herdsmen, will spread the suffering of the people of Beijing to my ears."

Yu Qian said: "When the minister first entered Shuntian, he heard that His Majesty used coal instead of firewood, and the people of Beijing were very grateful. ”

"In the 70 years since the founding of the country, the people's strength has been lost, the people are safe, and the most urgent thing in the Ming Dynasty is the harmony between the two palaces, and the prosperity of the family and everything. Harmony in heaven is the blessing of the world. ”

Zhu Qizhen knew that the two palaces that Yu Qian was talking about were not Cining Palace and Kunning Palace, but Cining Palace and Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Qizhen didn't know what to say for a while. It is said that between the two houses, there has always been harmony. Zhu Qizhen couldn't say this. Since that day, Zhu Qizhen has been trying to do the same as before, but he can't do it.

There is time for those closest to you to hurt you.

The same is true for Zhu Qizhen.

When he was by the side of the Empress Dowager, he sometimes forgot the name of the Empress Dowager, and really regarded the Empress Dowager as a grandmother.

But when he opened his heart to the Empress Dowager, he was hit hard by the Empress Dowager.

Especially when the Empress Dowager said that she would abolish him. Zhu Qizhen is really sad.

After that, even if I wanted to get close to the Empress Dowager, I would suddenly think of this thing in my heart. Whoever wants to speak, he has to go through it several times before he speaks.

With such an attitude, how could the Empress Dowager not feel it.

Therefore, the estrangement between Zhu Qizhen and the Empress Dowager gradually appeared. Although Zhu Qizhen will go to the Empress Dowager to ask for peace every day, it is only limited to asking for peace.

Just went in for a cup of tea, said a few words that were not nutritious, and withdrew.

In Zhu Qizhen's heart, he also understood that the cold relationship with the Empress Dowager was not a good thing, whether it was politically or deep in his heart. Zhu Qizhen felt that it was wrong.

But he didn't know how to get close.

It is absolutely impossible to make Zhu Qizhen give up his inner political ideas. perfunctory Empress Dowager, he is also perfunctory.

Yu Qian saw that Zhu Qizhen was speechless for a while, and knew that he was talking about the key point, and said: "Your Majesty, between ancestors and grandchildren, is there any deep hatred and hatred?" Could it be that His Majesty is still afraid of King Xiang's affairs. ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "If this is not the case, King Xiang's business has already been done. It's just that the Empress Dowager is unwilling to follow Emperor Taizong's trip and clean the north. ”

Yu Qian listened, smiled lightly and said, "Your Majesty, do you want to send troops now?" ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "How is it possible? How can today's guards fight? ”

Yu Qian said: "Your Majesty is estranged from the Empress Dowager for the sake of the future, what has not yet happened?" ”

Zhu Qizhen sighed and said, "I have already admitted my mistake. ”

Many people think that if there is anything that is wrong, others must forgive. And after listening to Zhu Qizhen's words, Yu Qian knew that Zhu Qizhen's so-called confession of mistake was actually very insincere.

Yu Qian said: "From Your Majesty's point of view, the Empress Dowager is really unwilling, am I a clean and pure Mobei?" I started with Taizu in the Ming Dynasty, and I have a feud with Mongolia. How could the Empress Dowager not be willing to clean the north and make the world peaceful. ”

"She didn't allow it, but she was just worried that His Majesty wouldn't be able to do it and cause a commotion in the world."

"Your Majesty just needs to prove this to the Empress Dowager step by step. Will the Empress Dowager not support it? ”

"If Your Majesty is interested, the minister is willing to ask to see the Empress Dowager and untie the knot for the Empress Dowager."

Zhu Qizhen listened to Yu Qian's words, and felt that it made sense. It's just that he doesn't think he can succeed, and it doesn't hurt to just give it a try. He said, "So it's up to Mr. Yu." ”
