Chapter 216: Surprised
It's late autumn.
The north wind in the capital is coming, and the imperial city is full of yellow leaves, and the corners and corners of the red wall are full of yellow leaves.
The weather is getting colder, and the Tai Hospital has sent warm and moist qi soup to each palace.
In Miyagi, there are differences everywhere.
It's such a bowl of warm and nourishing soup, and it's actually divided into three, six, nine and so on.
In previous years, the warm and nourishing qi soup sent to Xianxia Palace was made of precious medicinal materials, ginseng, white fungus, and bird's nest were naturally indispensable.
Now that Princess Gu has completely lost the favor of the prince, and the doctors in the hospital are more proficient at watching people cook than the eunuchs, palace maids, and girls in the palace.
The warm and nourishing qi soup sent to Cuiwei Hall was added with a rare safflower this year, which is not the same as saffron.
Rather, it came from Persia as a tribute.
Speaking of this Persian tribute, the last time I came was during the Yongle period, and this time I was able to come because of Shen Dagongzi's first ocean-going fleet trip.
This time, there were only two treasure ships, and the ships were old ships, and three small warships had just been built to escort them.
It's kind of risky.
The reason why I chose to go to sea at this time was because the Japanese on the sea had stopped somewhat.
And only this time, it was extremely successful, and the silk and porcelain that were shipped over were sold at a very high price, which was considered a huge profit.
As soon as all the expenses were settled, Shen Dagongzi earned back all the silver he had borrowed from the various families this time.
The prospects are so promising, each family will inevitably not redeem their shares, and some families with slightly stronger financial resources have even increased their investment.
As a result, all the imperial court invested was the craftsmen, officials, and many sailors of the Zhehai Sea to eliminate the sporadic pirates.
There was no need for the imperial court to invest a penny of silver at all, but this time the tax was collected back nearly 70,000 taels of silver.
And Siyu received seven thousand taels of silver dividends this time, so although Siyu gave up nearly two thousand taels of income per month, his income here skyrocketed.
In this way, the silver taels she rewarded were more sufficient.
It seems that everything is developing in a good direction, but the world is doing things, often pressing down the gourd and scooping, and the bad things are endless.
The King of Chu, the King of Tang, and the King of Lu, who was stripped of his title, plus the weak King of Zhejiang, became extremely restless.
Whether the four kings acted or not, in fact, there was only a layer of window paper on it, but the court didn't dare to do anything to them.
This is also the reason why the emperor did not dare to let the crown prince know, for fear that he would act recklessly and force the four princes to be ready to shoot and have to send them.
These days, it can be said that the prince is very worried about this matter.
Since the imperial court did not dare to take action, and could not let it go, it would be difficult to wait for them to be powerful, so I am afraid that it would be more difficult to clean up.
Sometimes the prince was also in a state of dismay.
He felt that the position of emperor was really difficult to do, and there were so many problems before he took over.
What's more, the four princes acted like a knife hanging over his head, who knows when this knife will fall.
This matter can not be made public, and the four princes can not be clarified, and they cannot wait passively.
What a contradiction!
For many days, the prince was so worried that the tea and rice were not fragrant, and Siyu saw it in his eyes but didn't know how to share his worries.
Siyu saw the prince in a daze at the rock sugar lotus seed porridge in front of him, and had already guessed that the prince had a headache about the four princes again.
Don't say that the prince has a headache, even Siyu himself doesn't know how to resolve this crisis.
Although Siyu had already seen that this king of Chu might no longer be alive, or he had already usurped the throne by his son.
Otherwise, the words on this fold are already very different, but just finding this is completely useless, and we must find an opportunity and a suitable reason to debunk this pseudo-Chu king.
But after thinking about it, I felt that the court didn't seem to have any legitimate reason to make groundless accusations, and this King of Chu was pretending.
But in terms of this handwriting, the reason is very far-fetched.
Suddenly, a piece of Huguang and a prefect's house made Siyu's eyes light up.
She hurriedly pointed it out to the crown prince, "Your Highness, this lord seems to have seen that this King of Chu has changed his candidates and raised questions, and what is even more rare is that he asked the court to issue a thorough investigation, isn't this an opportunity?" ”
The prince was like a person who was about to drown, suddenly grabbed a life-saving straw, and when he heard Siyu's words, he hurriedly took the song in his hand and looked at it carefully.
"Sure enough, as you said, this Hu Lan is really a talent, but it's a pity that his official position is too low, and I'm afraid that this piece of music has little influence!"
Although the prince's eyes lit up, he felt that this matter was unsolvable after thinking about it.
However, Siyu didn't think so, she hurriedly said to the prince: "Your Highness, the official position is low, and there are also benefits of the official position!" ”
The prince was a little stunned when he heard this, and then asked, "What do you say about this?" ”
I listened to Siyu tell me, "Your Highness, this person has a lowly official position, but he risked his life to send such a letter, maybe he also has a deep grudge with this King of Chu, since he has a grudge, it means that he knows the specific internal situation of this King of Chu!" ”
"Speaking of which, just knowing the specific situation within the King of Chu can not do anything, doesn't it mean that it is useless?"
The prince asked with a puzzled expression.
"Your Highness, not necessarily, haven't you heard the folk saying that those who are barefoot are not afraid to wear shoes?"
After hearing this, the prince suddenly fell into deep thought, and then his eyes lit up and said: "Doesn't this mean that this person can fight out, he really has nothing to lose!" ”
"Yes, Your Highness, I think that since he dared to risk his death to make such a mistake, it means that he was also forced to the end, and he was forced by the King of Chu, since there is such an opportunity, why doesn't the prince take advantage of it?"
The prince stood up and pondered Siyu's words carefully, feeling that this was indeed an opportunity, but he didn't know how to implement the specific situation.
Then he turned around and asked Siyu, "What should you do if you look at this matter?" ”
"Your Royal Highness, what about this matter, the concubine thinks that this person's note should be widely spread, of course, the owner of this note must not be made public, but it can also be aimed at Chu Wen, release rumors, once the rumors spread, so that the attitude of the court has to be seriously investigated, this is one of them, and the other can also give the king of Chu a warning, so that whether it is true or not, it will make his heart more burdened, as the rumors become more and more popular, then the prince can send a minister to the king of Chu to see if the king of Chu has really changed!"
Siyu's words were tantamount to pushing open a door for the prince, which made the prince suddenly realize and suddenly open up.
He said to Siyu excitedly, so in this way, whether it is true or not, the king of Chu is afraid that he does not have the heart to recruit troops first, and on the other hand, the local officials are even more vigilant against him, he just ignores those rumors and has to restrain the point, so I am afraid that the date of his situation will have to be postponed.
"Your Royal Highness, this is only one of them, second, since the court will send someone to investigate him, then he is afraid that the throne will not be kept, he must rush before the truth is revealed, the last self-proof or to the court to ask for guilt, so that the initiative is in your hands, this throne can be given to drag him for some days, so that you can send ministers to investigate carefully, in the end, there is no counter-technique to follow, 4 princes have two princes' thrones, all of them are crumbling, how do they do things The king has many soldiers, and the king of Lu has the advantage of terrain, Once these two princes are controlled, the other two little kings are really not worth mentioning! ”
Siyu's analysis can be said to be the first and most reasonable, which suddenly made the prince laugh.
He was about to get up to do these things, when it suddenly occurred to him who should spread this rumor? Again, this is a nuisance.
"Yu'er, this rumor-mongering thing is really not the director of the palace, can you also find a suitable candidate?"
Siyu was a little happy when she heard his words, and said to him Wan'er and said with a smile, Your Highness, isn't there the most suitable person next to you? Thinking that Yang Hai is the commander of Dongchang again, aren't those cats and dogs on him who can't get on the stage the best candidates?
When the prince heard this, he couldn't help but sigh: "Is it possible that my Ming Dynasty wants to use these pickled dirty people who can't be on the table?" ”
"Your Royal Highness, you said this and saw the outside, think that Pingyuan Jun, I am afraid you have heard the story of Hangu Pass at night, if none of his disciples can learn the rooster croaw, and learn it vividly, I am afraid that it will be difficult for him to get out of the Qin army's Hangu Pass, the saints have recorded this matter in the book, can the saint think that this cat and dog people can't be used on the stage?"
The prince did know that there was such a story, and now that he thinks about it, it is indeed the case.
Siyu said to him again: "Your Highness, all things are born with everything, there is a use for all things, all people are born with different people, and their natural identities are also divided into three, six, nine and so on, noble and lowly, isn't it also useful for each other?" If I want the Ming Dynasty to prosper, I naturally have to use anyone, and no one can be despised by anyone, so that things in the world can be easily solved, do you think what I said is right or not? ”
The prince didn't feel stunned after hearing Siyu's words, he just thought that Siyu was just a little wise.
But I never thought that he would be able to say such a thing, just such a theory, I'm afraid it is. is more than a little bit stronger than the bachelors around my father who can only talk about it.
She couldn't help but be stunned for a long time before she came back to her senses, turned her head and said to Siyu: "Yu'er, you really let me underestimate you, just your insight is above me, I can't believe that what you said just now was what you said!" ”
"Where did His Highness say that His Highness just said that it was a pickled person, in fact, if you think about it carefully, the concubine is from a humble background, and she is also the pickled and dirty character that His Highness said in his mouth!"
When Siyu said this, her eyes were already a little red.
