【0734 Accompany the Emperor to the Garden】
"Feng Aiqing, it's decided, I believe you can!" Zhu Youxiao clapped his hands and said: "A few elders, you also have more snacks about this matter, work together, and the Ming court is peaceful." I want to see if Wei Aiqing's method works. To raise the status of Jinyiwei, is it really better to engage in this literary prison, as for this degree, it is up to Wei Aiqing to control it. Feng Aiqing, although you are responsible for this matter, you discuss everything with Wei Aiqing. ”
Feng Quan almost fainted out of anger, oh, Lao Tzu is in charge, Lao Tzu has a reputation as a leader, but everything has to be discussed with him Wei Bao? Is he taking the lead, or am I taking the lead?
The co-authorship is all carried by me alone, and the benefits are all taken away by Wei Bao behind his back?
Feng Quan really felt that the emperor was really confused, really eccentric! But he didn't dare to talk back, and said in a muffled voice: "Yes, Your Majesty." ”
Zhu Youxiao heard that Feng Quan was not very happy, frowned, and said coldly: "What? Does Feng Aiqing have anything to say? ”
Feng Quan was taken aback, and heard that the emperor was a little impatient, and hurriedly said: "The ministers all listen to the saint!" ”
Zhu Youxiao nodded and said to Wei Bao: "Wei Aiqing, it's up to you now!" I don't worry about Aiqing's intelligence, I'm worried that you're too young to control too big a scene. ”
"Your Majesty, please rest assured, let's start with the Beijing Division and take a look at the development of the situation, if the capital is done well, it will rapidly expand to the vicinity of the Beijing Division, and rectify the entire Beizhili within a month! North Zhili is the royal residence for a long time, than the common people in other places have deeper feelings for the royal family, the conditions for entering the office in the future, should be appropriately inclined to the North Zhili, while soothing and fighting, the heart to the royal heart to the court of loyalty to screen out, the hidden evil heart of all the people to eradicate! Beizhili will be as stable as Mount Tai! After the North Zhili is completed, let's expand to Liaoxi and Liaodong, Henan, Shanxi, and Shandong, so that the nearby provinces will be as stable as Mount Tai! At that time, advance can be attacked and retreated, advance and retreat are grounded, and gradually expand to the entire Ming Dynasty, teach the world to know that the world of the Ming Dynasty is the world of His Majesty, His Majesty is the respect of all saints, His Majesty is the emperor of the ages, and the Ming Dynasty and His Majesty cannot tolerate the slightest insult. The more Wei Bao spoke, the happier he became.
When Zhu Youxiao heard this, he nodded frequently, "Okay, what Aiqing said is good!" ”
Wei Zhongxian, Gu Bingqian and the others were speechless, secretly thinking, it seemed that they couldn't stop it, Wei Bao, this kid did have two brushes, and he only had one contact with His Majesty, and he completely captured His Majesty's heart.
Originally, Wei Bao was punished today, but he didn't expect to give Wei Bao a God-given opportunity.
However, they also admired that Wei Bao, a fifteen-year-old person, could come up with a way to control public opinion, and even had a good idea, if he didn't know, he would think that he Wei Bao had experienced a huge incident of controlling public opinion.
Although Wei Bao has not experienced it, Wei Bao loves to look at history in modern times, from the end of the Ming Dynasty to the future, there are too many.
Zhu Youxiao said to Gu Bingqian and the others: "A few Aiqing go back first, you are also ready to prepare, although you don't need to take the lead, but you must fully support Feng Aiqing and Wei Aiqing." Wei Aiqing, Feng Aiqing, you accompany me to the garden for a walk, I still want to hear Wei Aiqing talk. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty." After Gu Bingqian and the others bowed down and agreed, they then knelt down and said goodbye: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live, the ministers and others will retire." ”
Wei Bao and Feng Quan also agreed to the emperor's request to accompany him to the garden.
There is also a reason why Zhu Youxiao trusts Wei Bao so much, because Wei Bao is young.
Wei Bao is the same age as Zhu Youzhen, a few months older than Zhu Youzhen.
Zhu Youxiao is only a few years older than Wei Bao.
Everyone needs friends, and so does the emperor.
Zhu Youxiao is an emperor who came from the irregular track, and he didn't have much education when he was a child, so naturally he won't have classmates of the same age.
The only person who has a good relationship is his younger brother, Wei Bao and Zhu Youzhen are in the same year, in Zhu Youxiao's opinion, he can naturally treat Wei Bao as a substitute for his younger brother.
Zhu Youxiao is a person who lacks father's love and mother's love, when he was a child, his parents never cared much about him, nor did they teach him to read and write, and only his nurse Hakshi accompanied him, which caused him to be very dependent on Hakka, and even perverted.
The Hakka family is beautiful, the skin is delicate, the body curves are attractive, the body should be thin where it should be thin, and the fat place is fat, and at the age of eighteen, she was selected to be the nurse of Zhu Youxiao in the palace.
Zhu Youxiao is psychologically very dependent on the Hakka family, and he is not willing to wean when he grows up.
The prince in the palace is generally weaned at the age of six or seven, and then the nurse will send him out of the palace, but when Zhu Youxiao was a teenager, the palace sent the Hakka away, and he said that he couldn't send it away, and he was looking for death and life all day long.
Later, there was no way, and the palace could only leave the Hakka family.
Even after Zhu Youxiao ascended to the throne, the Hakka family often went to serve, entering the Qianqing Warm Pavilion every morning to serve the emperor, and returning to Xian'an Palace after the first night.
The Hakka family also often cooked supplements to increase yang for Zhu Youxiao to eat.
There are not many emperors and princes in history who have an inexplicable relationship with their nurses, but there are few people who can do it like Zhu Youxiao, because of Zhu Youxiao's favor, the Hakka family has great power in the harem, and even the queen does not let it go.
If there is a slightly favored concubine in the palace, it will be difficult to escape her poisonous hands, and later Wei Zhongxian caught up with the Hakka family, and the two controlled the government and disrupted the court.
Zhu Youxiao's biological mother, Wang, was the crown prince Zhu Changluo's choice in the Wanli Dynasty, and in the thirty-second year of Wanli, he was a talented person.
In the thirty-third year of Wanli, Zhu Youxiao was born.
In the forty-seventh year of Wanli, his mother Wang died. Thinking that the imperial grandson Zhu Youxiao was young, Emperor Wanli asked the crown prince Zhu Changluo's chosen servant Li to raise Zhu Youxiao.
At that time, there were two electors surnamed Li, and in order to distinguish them, they were called East Li and West Li. The first person who took care of Zhu Youxiao was Xi Li.
Later, Xi Li gave birth to a daughter, and he couldn't be busy, so Dong Li took care of Zhu Youxiao and Zhu Youzhen brothers.
In July of the forty-eighth year of Wanli, Mingshenzong died. In August, the crown prince Zhu Changluo ascended the throne and was Mingguangzong.
At that time, Xili was favored, and Guangzong Zhu Changluo wanted to crown her as the imperial concubine.
Xi Li was not satisfied, and instigated Guangzong to make himself queen.
Sun Ru, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, lobbied the queen mother of the two palaces and the concubines to agree on the titles, and after the funeral of the Daxing Emperor was held, it would not be too late to make a decision.
After Zhu Changluo fell ill, Concubine Zheng instructed Cui Wensheng to enter the emperor as a eunuch in charge of the imperial pharmacy, that is, rhubarb.
Rhubarb is equivalent to a laxative, so in the next day and night, Zhu Changluo had diarrhea thirty or forty times in a row, and his body was extremely weak and in a state of exhaustion.
On August 28, Guangzong Zhu Changluo summoned 13 people, including Zhang Weixian, the British minister, and Fang Congzhe, the first assistant of the cabinet, into the palace, and asked the emperor's eldest son, Zhu Youxiao, to come out to see them.
On August 29, Li Kezhuo, the head of Hongxu Temple, said that there was an elixir to be presented to Zhu Changluo, and as a result, on September 26, Zhu Changluo of Guangzong died at the age of Chinese New Year's Eve.
When Guangzong died, Xi Li lived in the Qianqing Palace, and the ministers suspected that she wanted to take the opportunity to listen to the government, so Liu Yixie, Zhou Jiamo, Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou and other ministers went up and asked her to move to another palace, so the palace transfer case broke out.
A power struggle unfolded, and the eunuch Wang An welcomed the emperor's eldest son, Zhu Youxiao, to the throne.
Xi Li sent Li Jinzhong to stop him, and asked Zhu Youxiao to come back several times, and he was not allowed to go to Wenhua Palace.
In the end, Zhu Youxiao still ascended the throne, and the year name was Taichang, and the following year was the Apocalypse.
and arrested Li Rubai, the chief military officer of Liaodong.
Ordered Yuan Yingtai, the squire of the Liaodong Governor's Military Department, to replace Xiong Tingbi through Liaodong.
At the beginning of Ming Xizong's accession to the throne, he named the nursing mother Keshi as the holy lady, which was quite tolerant.
The Donglin Party was worried that the Hakka clan would interfere in politics, and suggested that the Hakka clan should be driven out of the palace as usual.
The Hakka clan and Wei Zhongxian colluded with each other, counterattacking the Donglin Party, and for a while, they were in power and government, and the factory guards were rampant.
Wei Zhongxian's original name was Li Jinzhong, because he was a good gambler, he lost money, and he was angry in the palace. He was elected to the palace during the Wanli period.
Although he was illiterate, he was good at flattery. not only attached to the eunuch Wei Dynasty, but also through the Wei Dynasty, worshiped under the door of the great eunuch Wang An.
Wang An was very powerful in the palace for a time because of his meritorious service in supporting the Emperor of the Apocalypse.
At the same time, Wei Zhongxian befriended the Hakka family, and the two ate against each other.
The Hakka loved Wei Zhongxian and were tired of the old Wei Dynasty.
Wei Zhongxian took the opportunity to defeat the Wei Dynasty, and then plotted to kill Wang An, becoming the most powerful eunuch in the palace.
After Zhu Youxiao ascended the throne, he made the Donglin Party take charge of the cabinet, the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the six ministries.
Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou, Zhao Nanxing, Gao Panlong, Sun Chengzong, Yuan Keli and many other upright people held important positions in the court, and Fang Congzhe and other traitorous ministers have been gradually squeezed out, and the official system is a little clearer.
In March of the first year of the Apocalypse, Nurhachi led the army to capture Shenyang, and the Ming generals You Shigong and He Shixian were killed.
The chief military officers Chen Ce, Tong Zhonghua, Qi Jin, and Zhang Mingshi went to aid the war in Liaodong, and fought with the Houjin army in the Hunhe River, but the whole army was wiped out.
After that, Nurhachi captured Liaoyang, an important town in eastern Liaodong of the Ming Dynasty, and Yuan Yingtai committed suicide.
After Nurhachi captured Liaoyang, Ming Xizong once again used Xiong Tingbi, and served as the secretary of the military department and the right deputy capital of Yushi, passing through Liaodong. In August, he was promoted to General Mao Wenlong as deputy chief soldier and ordered his platoon to send troops to guard Zhenjiang.
In the first month of the second year of the Apocalypse, the Houjin army captured Xiping Fort, and Luo Yigui, the deputy general of the Ming Dynasty, was killed in battle. Liu Qu and Qi Bingzhong, the chief officers of the Zhenwu Battalion, fought with the Houjin army at Pingyang Bridge but died in the end. Wang Huazhen and Xiong Tingbi withdrew into the pass.
In April, it was said that it was necessary to impeach Denglai, and Yuan Keli was appointed as the governor of the imperial history of the right capital.
In August, Xizong named Zhu Youzhen, the fifth brother of the emperor, as the king of letters.
At the same time, Zhu Youxiao also issued an edict to rehabilitate Zhang Juzheng, record the heirs of Fang Xiaoru, give preferential treatment to the fathers, and give funerals and nicknames.
In the third year of the Apocalypse, Wei Zhongxian took charge of Dongchang and used the power of the eunuch party to balance the Donglin Party, which was in the limelight.
Zhu Youxiao also likes to do some carpentry by himself, and he is tireless all year round.
Whenever the emperor did carpentry work, Wei Zhongxian would do it.
The Emperor of the Apocalypse was bored and refused to listen to it, and said that he already knew everything, so you just need to watch it.
So Wei Zhongxian took the opportunity to abuse his power many times, squeezing out the Donglin party, and the Dongchang fan was rampant and traitorous.
Zhu Youxiao is indeed a very outstanding carpenter, but unfortunately he was born in the emperor's family.
Zhu Youxiao has been obsessed with carpentry all his life, and he has been making woodware in the palace all day long, and he is never tired of it.
His handwork is surprisingly good, and the furniture he makes is no worse than that of a first-class carpenter.
It is rumored that the bed in the palace was very heavy at that time, and many people couldn't lift it, but later Zhu Youxiao pondered it and spent more than a year designing a foldable, lightweight, and very beautiful bed.
Part of the furniture designed by Zhu Youxiao was left for his own use, and the other part was asked to take out the palace takeaway.
Because he was obsessed with carpentry work, he ignored the government and handed over the court affairs to Wei Zhongxian to take care of, and Wei Zhongxian's dictatorship was logical.
Zhu Youxiao's promotion of Wei Bao seems to be accidental, but in fact, before Wei Bao was named on the gold list, Zhu Youxiao already had this thought, otherwise a fifteen-year-old person who wants to enter the gold list must be approved by the emperor.
Zhu Youxiao has learned about Wei Bao's origin, Wei Bao is the identity of a child of a destitute and poor peasant, and he has a great appetite for Zhu Youxiao.
Zhu Youxiao needs a person like Wei Bao, not only to share Wei Zhongxian's power, but also to help him deal with some government affairs and tell him.
The emperor needs a sense of participation, too.
Zhu Youxiao is the grandson of Zhu Yijun of Mingshenzong, because Shenzong only cared about his own pleasure during his reign, and had no time to take care of the reading problem of the emperor's grandson, and he didn't like Zhu Changluo's son, Mingguangzong was a short-lived emperor, so when the 16-year-old Zhu Youxiao succeeded to the throne, his education level was very low, and he could be called the "illiterate emperor".
Due to his lack of education, Zhu Youxiao issued orders and instructions, and could only make decisions by listening to and reading other people's drafts.
Zhu Youxiao was unwilling to be at the mercy of others, and often did not know how to pretend to understand, and a piece of paper and half an edict were altered many times, often making the literature and science incomprehensible, and the people in the government and the opposition laughed at it.
Once, after the Jiangxi Fu army suppressed the rebellion, the last chapter reported the victory, and there was a sentence in the chapter "chasing the north", which originally meant that they ran around in order to quell the rebellion, and it was very hard. A eunuch named He Fei next to the emperor did not have much ink in his chest, and when he recited the chapter, he read "chasing the north" as "chasing the north". When explaining, "chasing" is said to be "chasing and fleeing", and "chasing" is said to be "chasing stolen goods". The Emperor of the Apocalypse was furious when he heard this. Jiangxi Fujun not only did not receive a reward, but was punished by "depreciation".
One year, Buyeo, Ryukyu, and Siam sent envoys to pay tribute. Buyeo paid tribute to the purple gold hibiscus crown and jade gold silk skirt, Ryukyu paid tribute to the warm jade chair, seahorse, and Doromu decanting pine, and Siamese paid tribute to the five-color crystal screen and three-eyed gilt black spear. On the Golden Palace, although the envoy handed over the chapter written in Chinese, the eunuch Wei Zhongxian took it, but because he was also illiterate, he hurriedly handed it to the Emperor of the Apocalypse.
Zhu Youxiao looked at it for a long time, and regarded the tribute recital as a recital to negotiate some issues, and couldn't help but get angry, threw the recital to the ground, and said: "It's unreasonable for a small foreign country!" "Let's just flick our sleeves and retreat.
If he had a young henchman like Wei Bao, he could relieve a lot of pressure, although the eunuchs could be trusted, but the big eunuchs were too treacherous, and the little eunuchs were not so highly educated.
The emperor's imperial garden, the scenery is beautiful, and it is the time when summer and autumn intersect, it is the most beautiful time of the year in the imperial garden, all kinds of plants, flowers, and beautiful flowers.
"Your Majesty, slow down." Wei Zhongxian flattered Zhu Youxiao.
Zhu Youxiao smiled and held Wei Zhongxian's arm, "Father-in-law Wei, what Wei Aiqing just said, you want to support it?" Wei Aiqing is the person you recommended to me, and you have a good eye this time. ”
Wei Bao and Feng Quan heard this, and looked at Wei Zhongxian at the same time.
Wei Bao naturally already knew that he was promoted by Wei Zhongxian, but this time he personally heard it from the emperor, and he was even more convinced.
Feng Quan is similar, they, the eunuchs, have long guessed that Wei Bao was personally promoted by Wei Zhongxian, but it has not been verified, and now that the emperor said so, it is even more true.
At this point, Feng Quan also completely accepted the idea of being hostile to Wei Bao, although he looked unpleasant to Wei Bao, but he knew that since Wei Bao was promoted by Wei Zhongxian, and now the emperor favored him, he couldn't move Wei Bao no matter what.
However, if you can't move, you can't move, and you should still be able to find a way to dismantle Wei Bao's platform and do some things to sow discord.
Wei Zhongxian was also secretly surprised, although he had said some good things about Wei Bao in front of the emperor, the number was extremely limited.
Wei Zhongxian has always been more suspicious than trusting Wei Bao, and he is always on guard!
Wei Bao was reused, most likely Wei Bao was involved in the fight between the eunuch party and the Donglin party, and the emperor took a fancy to Wei Bao again, and both sides of the Donglin Party and the eunuch party carried a sedan chair for Wei Bao, so that Wei Bao jumped from a positive seventh grade to a positive fifth grade, and was promoted four levels in a row.
"Yes, Your Majesty, the old slave will do his best." Wei Zhongxian promised on his lips, but he secretly complained in his heart, secretly thinking that Wei Bao might be more difficult to control in the future.
