Chapter 67 Chasing Strangers for a Thousand Miles Back in the Year

In the cabinet, there are actually two people who don't care much about things, only care about their own acres and threes of land, and don't care about anything else.

One is Zhang Fu and the other is Hu Hui.

Zhang Fu is trying to avoid suspicion, but Hu Hu is really not good at government affairs.

What Hu Hu is really good at is selfish things.

Zhu Qizhen sometimes wants Hu Hu to be in charge of Jinyiwei.

But if you think about it, you know that it's impossible, how honorable the cabinet scholar is, and the reputation of Jinyiwei is also quite bad, not to mention that Hu Hu is also old.

Zhu Qizhen is also not good at treating the old ministers.

Anyway, making Hu Hu a cabinet scholar certainly has the meaning of balance, but the meaning of reward is stronger.

What is the reward? In the first ten years, in the name of looking for Zhang Sanfeng, he looked for Emperor Jianwen, and from the early years of Yongle, he has been finding Yongle for twenty-one years. The second is to explain Emperor Renzong in front of Taizong, so that Emperor Taizong made up his final decision. Emperor Renzong has inherited the unification.

Of course, Hu Hu, Yang Shiqi, and Yang Pubi are naturally not good at government affairs, but the part he should be responsible for has not dropped the chain.

At this moment, when he encountered something related to Emperor Jianwen, the first thing Zhu Qizhen wanted to ask was Hu Hui.

For Emperor Jianwen, no one should know better than Hu Hui.

Zhu Qizhen was a little jealous when he saw Hu Hu for a while, when Zhu Qizhen saw Hu Hu for the first time, Hu Hu had a childish face, and now several years have passed, Hu Hu is still like this.

It was as if time had not passed on him at all.

Zhu Qizhen has never seen the so-called martial arts in this era, but Zhu Qizhen feels that if the Great Tomorrow really has martial arts, then the first master in the court must be the old Hu Ge in front of him, who was born in Wudang and is famous for being good at health preservation.

Zhu Qizhen told Hu Hu about this matter.

Hu Hui's pupils shrank slightly when he heard this, as if he remembered something, and then sighed and said: "Cheng Ji is satirizing the old minister, who was looking for the life of Ancestor Zhang and traveled all over the world. Danchen also knew that Patriarch Zhang had already passed away. The way of health preservation is sometimes poor, and the life span of a person is one hundred and twenty years old, how can Patriarch Zhang be an exception. ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "Sir is sure, this is true. ”

Hu Hu said: "The minister has not seen it with his own eyes, how can he know whether it is true or false, but this is like Cheng Ji's words." ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "Oh, how is Cheng Ji? ”

Hu Hui said: "Negative talent and a small amount, loyal and proud." He couldn't help but sigh and said, "There are many people who have seen it, but there are very few people who are smart and helpful." With Cheng Ji's ability, in the midst of the dangerous city, he took Emperor Jianwen to escape, and he didn't know how he did it many times back then

Target. ”

"Young Master Yao chased after him first, but he was led to Fujian as a dead soldier. Since then, the trail has been cut off. Emperor Taizong ordered his ministers to pursue, up and down for 21 years, the ministers ate and slept in the open air, patrolling Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, Yunnan, Guangxi, Jiangxi, Zhejiang, Fujian, south of the Yangtze River, there is no part to the south, deep mountains and Daze, never fail. ”

"The minister grabbed Emperor Jianwen's tail three times, and was thrown off each time, and Cheng Ji also organized the assassination of the minister, and the minister almost died in Jiuzhi Mountain."

"Cheng Ji used the method of setting up doubts to deceive the ministers and didn't know how many times, and each time it was true and false, and it seemed to be true."

The person who knows himself best is his opponent, and Hu Hu praised Cheng Ji sparingly. After all, Hu Hu took the emperor's order to look for Jianwen, and he searched all over the place almost inch by inch.

With the household registration system of the Ming Dynasty, Hu Hui carried political resources. If nothing is found, it is fine, but if you find a trace, you will be escaped.

Hu Hu is a first-class smart person. After so many years, I have been thinking about it again, and the more I think about it, the more I understand that he is actually inferior to Cheng Ji.

Zhu Qizhen couldn't help asking: "With such a talent, why didn't Jianwen use it when he was in power?" ”

Hu Hu said: "After all, the battle of the world is the dispute between the people and the master, Jianwen reigned for four years, Cheng Ji did not have a day in power, as early as the thirty-first year of Hongwu, Taizu died, Jianwen wanted to do the policy of cutting the domain, Cheng Ji predicted that there would be war in the north. However, Jianwen put Cheng Ji in prison, and then Taizong raised troops, and Jianwen released Cheng Ji from prison and asked for countermeasures. As a result, Cheng Ji had a conflict with Fang Xiaoru's generation, and Cheng Ji refused Jianwen's appointment and just read books in Hanlin. ”

"Cheng Ji is conceited and only like Zhuge Kongming, waiting for Jianwen to look at the thatched house, but he didn't know that he was going, he was slandered so deeply, Jianwen didn't use it for four years, until the city was broken, Cheng Ji took the initiative to plot and take Jianwen away."

"Jianwen is worse than Emperor Taizong, it is impossible to calculate, the master is like this, even if Cheng Ji is Zhuge Kongming, what can he do?"

Only then did Zhu Qizhen understand Hu Hu's words, he was really talented and small, loyal and proud.

Even Zhu Qizhen's malicious speculation, such as Cheng Ji's cover for Jianwen's escape over the years, is just an explanation to himself. may not be much loyal to Jianwen, what Cheng Ji is loyal to is just his own spiritual world.

Zhu Qizhen said: "Yongle twenty-one years, what did you say to Taizong that night? ”

Emperor Taizong's investigation of Jianwen's whereabouts ended in the twenty-first year of Yongle, and that day was clearly recorded in the actual records. At that time, Emperor Taizong was outside the Saiwai, and Hu Hu came from the south. I talked with Emperor Taizong all night, and I talked about the four watches. From then on, Hu Hu went to Nanjing to monitor Emperor Renzong, who was the crown prince at the time. He also served in the Ministry of Rites, until now.

Many people want to know what Hu Hu talked about with Emperor Taizong that night.

Including Zhu Qizhen, when Zhu Qizhen watched the actual record, he also noticed this paragraph and was curious. But no

How much to ask, because this is an old thing more than ten years ago, Zhu Qizhen doesn't need to understand.

But that's no longer the case.

The sudden appearance of Emperor Jianwen.

Zhu Qizhen had to figure out what happened in the first place that made Emperor Taizong give up tracking down Emperor Jianwen.

Hu Hu said: "In fact, the minister didn't say anything, but just told Emperor Taizong about the fact that the people in the south lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the civil officials and hundreds of officials were on duty. Ten years before Yongle, the Jianwen Yu Party still had some moves, but after ten years of Yongle, they only had to flee for their lives. ”

At that time, the minister was very sure that Emperor Jianwen fled to the southwest Tusi, as long as there was a yellow book of the imperial court in various places, the ministers checked it again, Jianwen grew up in the deep palace, and never went to the people, so it was impossible for him to travel alone, at least three people traveled. In addition to this, there is a large team of people to hide. The ministers had already cut off Jianwen's wings, and there were no more than ten people who fled into the southwest Tusi with Jianwen. ”

"The Jianwen Yu Party can't make waves."

"Emperor Taizong thinks that he is always surnamed Zhu, since this is the case, let him go."

Zhu Qizhen sighed and said, "Speaking of which, he is the uncle of the Emperor of China. Mr. Hu, what do you think I should do to him? ”

Hu Hu said: "Your Majesty, Emperor Taizong has already made a decision, why did Your Majesty hesitate. ”

Zhu Qizhen listened, and naturally knew what Hu Hu meant.

Although everyone knew that Jianwen did not die in the fire that year, Emperor Taizong said that the corpse was, that is.

Jianwen is already a dead person in terms of identity.

The best way, whether it's true or false, yes or no.

None of them are recognized.

What has already been decided on the coffin cannot be turned up again. The reversal of the case has no benefit for Zhu Qizhen, only disadvantages.

Zhu Qizhen said: "I understand. ”

Although Zhu Qizhen agreed with Hu Hu's approach in his heart, there was no need for anything else in this matter. Although the Empress Dowager doesn't care about the matter, Zhu Qizhen still has to report this major matter to the Empress Dowager.

So, after sending Hu Hu away. Zhu Qizhen immediately went to Cining Palace.

Zhu Qizhen arrived at Cining Palace, but saw that the Empress Dowager was walking with a cane, but between the walks, it was obviously much slower.

Before, the Empress Dowager's use of crutches was more ceremonial, but now she really needs crutches to borrow.

Zhu Qizhen stepped forward and immediately hugged the Empress Dowager and said, "Niangniang, my grandson has come to see you." ”

The Empress Dowager was also very happy when she saw Zhu Qizhen, and then said: "You are not busy in front, come and see what I do, is there something big going on, come to ask my wife for advice?" Go ahead. ”
