After Zhang Shun was also pressed down, Zhu Youxiao glanced at Chen Hong and said, "Pen and ink are waiting." You come to grind for me, and I have to write a few words. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. The slave and maid immediately went to prepare. Chen Hong hurriedly agreed.

In fact, Chen Hong knew very well in his heart that his emperor had never loved writing for so many years, and he had not been taught much since he was a child, so he probably couldn't write many words.

Why do you suddenly have to write now?

Suddenly a hobby of calligraphy?

Maybe the original Zhu Youxiao didn't have much cultural level, but now the cultural level of this Zhu Youxiao is okay, after all, he has been a human being in two lives, and he has learned a little more or less in his previous life.

As for the brush characters, the original Zhu Youxiao can also write, but the writing is not good. Of course, it's still much better than Zhu Youxiao, who came through the time.

After so long of familiarity, it is no problem for Zhu Youxiao to write traditional Chinese characters. Of course, it is not good to talk about how well the writing is, it can only be regarded as a written account, far from calligraphy. But this is enough for Zhu Youxiao.

After the pen and ink were brought, Chen Hong grinded, and Zhu Youxiao began to pick up the pen and write.

Gently dipping a brush in ink, Zhu Youxiao slowly wrote a poem on the fine rice paper:

"Plant a grain of millet in the spring and harvest 10,000 seeds in the autumn.

There is no idle land in the four seas, and the farmers are still starving to death. ”

After writing this poem, Zhu Youxiao slowly lifted the brush, gently put it aside, and then nodded with satisfaction.

Turning his head to look at Chen Hong, Zhu Youxiao said with a smile: "How is this poem written?" ”

"The emperor's calligraphy is vigorous and powerful, wide open and closed, magnificent, and has the potential to swallow mountains and rivers. This bearing alone is no longer comparable to ordinary people, and it can be seen that the emperor's calligraphy is quite imperial. Chen Hong said admirably.

Zhu Youxiao glanced at Chen Hong, and said angrily: "Do you think I am a faint gentleman who can only listen to sycophants?" ”

After speaking, Zhu Youxiao turned his head to look at the poem he wrote and said, "I know my calligraphy." ”

Putting down the brush in his hand, Zhu Youxiao turned his head to Chen Hong and said, "Frame it and give it to them when King Lu comes." ”

"Yes, Emperor." Chen Hong hurriedly agreed, and didn't dare to say anything else.

Chen Hong also realized that he had just said the wrong thing, and the horse's fart was obviously slapped on the horse's hooves. The emperor just met Zhang Shun and heard what he said, how could he still have the heart to write calligraphy?

Since this poem is to be given to King Lu, it is to teach King Lu a lesson. Thinking about it, this also represents the attitude of the emperor, and it seems that King Lu's life is not very easy.

Chen Hong didn't say anything about this, it was not something he could express his opinion on.

After Chen Hong took the words away, Zhu Youxiao sat on the chair, looked at the sky in the distance, and began to think about what to do next.

At the same time, in the city of Jinan, the governor of Shandong Yamen.

Zhao Yan, the governor of Shandong, was drinking tea when a middle-aged man in his forties suddenly walked in.

He came to Zhao Yan's side and said, "My lord, Zhao Kui, the political envoy of Shandong, asks to see him." ”

Zhao Yan glanced at the visitor and said, "Let's just say that I am sick at home and can't see guests." ”

The visitor glanced at Zhao Yan and sighed helplessly.

The adults in his family have ruddy complexions and fair skin, and they look leisurely here, and they don't look like they are sick.

However, he also knew that his family was deliberately avoiding them, so he said, "Then I will refuse them." ”

"Let someone else go." Zhao Yan waved his hand and said, "You sit down, let's talk." ”

"Yes, sir." The visitor agreed, turned to the outside and gave a command, and then turned back and walked into the room, and directly found a chair to sit down.

Looking at his attitude, he is also very casual, and it is obvious that the relationship between the two people is not as simple as a simple boss and subordinate.

After he sat down, Zhao Yan said: "Jiefu, you have been by my side for a few years, I told you before, if you go to participate in the imperial examination and enter the officialdom, presumably the official position is not under me." However, you have no intention of officialdom and are tired of officialdom fighting, but now I am afraid that you will be implicated by me. ”

The person who is called Jiefu is named Ang Lee, and Jiefu is his character. Heyuan Book Bar

Li An can be regarded as Zhao Yan's staff, and when he heard Zhao Yan say this, he said with a smile: "Seeing that the adults are so calm and relaxed, I am afraid that I have already made up my mind." Since adults aren't worried, what do I have to worry about? ”

Glancing at Li An with a smile, Zhao Yan said, "But no one knows what will happen." ”

Zhao Yan sighed, put down the teacup in his hand, and continued: "Who can understand His Majesty's mind today? After His Majesty arrived in Texas, not only did he not punish the Texas prefect, but also gave him a reward, and now Texas is in full swing. ”

"But after His Majesty arrived in Jeju, he directly took Jeju Zhang Shun. Now the whole Jeju is up and down, and it is estimated that there are not a few people left, and we are strictly ordered not to go to see the driver, and now the whole Shandong can be said to be panicked. ”

"Your Majesty took Zhang Shun, and the crime he used was not good for disaster relief. If you can take Zhang Shun for this crime, you can naturally take other people, including me, the governor. This time, I'm afraid it's not that simple. ”

"Your Majesty's going south this time is not so simple." Ang Lee said with a smile.

"I know this, but who knows how far His Majesty will go?" Zhao Yan sighed and said, "Since Your Majesty ascended the throne today, I haven't figured out Your Majesty's path. There is also a lot of news to Shandong, and many things are also unclear. ”

"Some people say that Your Majesty is faint, that Your Majesty is young, favors eunuchs, and also believes in Taoism, and asks questions in the palace all day long, which is really not like Mingjun."

"But some people say that Your Majesty is extremely wise, and he is really a democracy in the Ming Dynasty."

"Looking at his words and deeds, I can't understand many of His Majesty's actions. For example, many officials have been cleaned up, including many famous ministers and many highly praised ministers. However, none of the people used by His Majesty are incompetent. ”

"Xu Guangqi has never dealt with him, and I don't know what kind of person he is. But Sun Chengzong and Yuan Keli, I am familiar with them, these are all capable ministers. ”

"In addition to these courtiers, the new secret music system above the court has also been criticized by many people, saying that it is a government of persecution of officials, which has set off a wind of false accusations among officials."

"In addition, His Majesty's reuse of Feng Congwu and others to promote Xunzi's doctrine has also been criticized a lot. It can be seen that His Majesty's thoughts are heavy and his actions are incredible. ”

Listening to Zhao Yan's words, Li An said with a smile: "If outsiders listen to this, I am afraid that my lord will go to Jinyiwei Prison." ”

Zhao Yan glanced at Li An and said, "Criticizing the Son of Heaven is not the work of a courtier, and if he is punished by His Majesty because of this, there is nothing to say." Still, I'd like to hear from you. ”

"Actually, it's very simple, I think Your Majesty is a wise lord with great ambitions." Li An said with a smile: "It's just that to what extent it can be done, it depends on it." ”

"Why do you say that?" Zhao Yan asked hesitantly.

"Adults also often read history books, think about Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty." Li An said with a smile: "Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ascended the throne at a young age, and the country is worried about internal and external troubles. Above the court, it is Huang Laozhixue who controls the government. ”

"Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty abandoned the study of Huang Lao and respected Confucianism; Wang Baza is miscellaneous, reusing the Legalist. In this way, it can deter the small and gather national strength internally; Externally, we can work together to make everyone strive to be the first. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was able to extinguish the Xiongnu and create a powerful Han Dynasty. ”

"Obviously, Your Majesty also thinks that the decline of the Ming Dynasty has something to do with the learning of Mencius over the years. His Majesty obviously prefers Xunzi's learning to Mencius's learning. Your Majesty said so, and did the same. ”

"In the case of Henan, Your Majesty has severely punished King Fu. Except for the abolition of the title of King Fu, all royal treatment is gone. From this incident, I can see His Majesty's great courage and determination. ”

"A few days ago, the nobles and relatives of the Zhuangtian paid taxes, and it was also a lot of uproar. Some people say that Your Majesty is in it for money, but I don't think so. Although money is one thing, it is more that His Majesty is taking back the privileges given to the nobles and relatives. ”

"It is conceivable that this time Your Majesty will go to Shandong, I am afraid that he will clean up King Lu. Even those people in Qufu are afraid that they will be unlucky. If you don't believe it, you'll see. ”

After hearing this, Zhao Yan said in disbelief: "It's not like this, right?" ”

"That's it." Li An said confidently: "Your Majesty holds Xunzi, Mencius is no longer in the eyes of Your Majesty." How much do you think Your Majesty will value Confucius? ”

Although Ang Lee's words were arrogant, Zhao Yan didn't care. The two have been together for many years, and he also knows some of Ang Lee's thoughts, and he has long been used to talking to him like this.

If it weren't for this character and this broken mouth, Ang Lee would not have gone down the path of officialdom.

"There's one more thing I asked." Li An said a little mysteriously.

"Tell me about it." Zhao Yan saw Li An's pretending to be mysterious, and knew that this matter must be trivial, otherwise Li An would not have gone around in circles with him.

"I heard that Zhao Kui and others were planning, and they put the blame on Lu Wangfu and Qufu." Ang Lee said with a smile.

After hearing this, Zhao Yan said hesitantly: "Wouldn't that be lifting a stone to shoot yourself in the foot?" ”

"Exactly." Li An said with a smile: "These people want to use Lu Wangfu and Qufu to coerce Your Majesty, and they want Your Majesty to take it lightly, but not to hold them accountable." But I think they're self-defeating. If these people do this, I am afraid that they will fall into the hands of His Majesty. ”

"They are actually betting on whether His Majesty has the courage to move the Lu Wangfu and Qufu. In their opinion, His Majesty does not have the courage, after all, the status of King Lu and Qufu is there, and if His Majesty really moves, it will be very involved. But it seems to me that they all underestimate His Majesty. ”

"So what are we going to do?" Zhao Yan said with some hesitation: "I am the governor of Shandong, and I am afraid that this matter will also involve me." Maybe Zhao Kui and the others are already thinking about how to bite me. ”
