Chapter 248: Sowing Discord
As soon as he saw Wei Zhongxian come in, King Xin's face darkened at that time, and he snorted coldly at him. But Tianqi smiled and beckoned to Wei Zhongxian: "Come here, what is the matter today?" What do the ministers outside say? ”
Wei Zhongxian walked over, just glanced at Zhu Youzhen lightly, and did not bow down, but directly bowed to the apocalypse. Before the emperor could speak, Wei Zhongxian naturally stood up, but did not answer the emperor's inquiry, and said with a cold face to Zhu Youzhen: "It's not that the old slave said you, the emperor is the body of a daughter, the master of the world, you go out every day to run wildly, and you bring things directly to the palace, in case the emperor eats a good thing, who will be in charge of the Ming Dynasty?" "The meaning is quite clear, this is provoking the two brothers to play a trick. Do you want to kill the emperor by eating indiscriminately for the emperor like this? And the one who is in charge of this Ming is still today, and you don't want to dream about replacing it.
Being counted down by Wei Zhongxian like this, Zhu Youzhen snorted coldly and said to his brother: "I'm going to my sister-in-law." After speaking, he didn't wait for his brother to answer, and walked away.
Seeing this back disappear outside the courtyard, Wei Zhongxian said to the apocalypse: "Long live, King Xin is not small, he always lives in the palace, and there are already rumors outside, and what he says is really ugly." Therefore, the old slave thinks that it is better to let King Xin take up the vassal early. ”
This matter is not only mentioned by Wei Zhongxian, but even those ministers outside always mention this matter. The reason is that these two waves of incompatible political enemies have a purpose, the emperor always talks outside the tongue and doesn't want to do it, which makes Donglin, who controls the emperor, worried.
Throughout the Wanli period, the Donglin Party was always in a state of suppression, from the regular army to the Tai Chi master Wanli into a guerrilla force. Specifically, the Donglin Party members Zuo Guangdou and Yang Lian asked Li Xuanzhi, who was the guardian of the Apocalypse, to move out of the Qianqing Palace, saying that the Apocalypse was in the hands of the Donglin Party, which was the famous "Palace Removal Case". Regarding the "palace transfer case", history has always said that Li Xuanzhi and Wei Zhongxian wanted to blackmail the emperor's eldest son to respect himself, and the Donglin Party snatched the emperor for justice and the overall situation of the court.
So a vigorous palace removal case was launched. The whole incident of the "Palace Removal Case" seems to be a group of loyal ministers in order to deal with the "evil" Li Xuanzhi and his "minions" Wei Zhongxian, but in fact it is the shameless plundering of power by the Donglin Party. This kind of plundering is actually the inheritance and continuation of the "Ting Attack Case" and the "Red Pill Case", and in fact it is also a political trap carried out by the Donglin Party members in order to seize power. The reason why these three major cases appeared during the reign of the three emperors of Wanli, Jingtai and Tianqi is actually related to the way Wanli, Jingtai and Tianqi ruled over the years.
Wanli cracked down on the Donglin Party, and the Donglin Party created the "Court Attack Case" to frame Zheng Guifei, divert the contradictions, and lead the water to the east;
Jingtai was served by the Donglin Party, and naturally trusted the Donglin Party, but unfortunately the reign was too short and did not give the Donglin Party enough political capital.
The "palace transfer case" was purely for political speculation and political show before the little emperor ascended the throne. It can be said that the Donglin Party members are not upright men and gentlemen, on the contrary, the practice of a series of things proves that this organization is purely without a monarch and a country, and everything is aimed at the interests of its own organization, completely ignoring the interests of the country.
Now that the goal of controlling the emperor has finally been achieved, and if it is replaced by a smaller one, then there will be a situation where it is completely controlled by the inner court and not controlled by the foreign ministers, and such a situation must not appear.
Therefore, the foreign minister wants to force the apocalypse to let this younger brother who is favored by the apocalypse become a vassal, the purpose is to get him out, and it is better to die outside.
And Wei Zhongxian wants to get the king of Xin, the purpose is the same, he must not let the king of Xin be in the capital, once the apocalypse is a little long, as long as the king of faith is not in the capital, then the variables are there.
For the thoughts of the inner and outer courts, the apocalypse is clear. Although he is kind, although he is cowardly, he is not stupid, and he also has a heart, anyway, at the beginning of the emperor's ascension to the throne, because he could not see the true face of the Donglin Party in the early days of his accession to the throne, he also gave the Donglin Party high-ranking officials Houlu. But the Donglin Party people were not able to live up to the little emperor's trust, some of their practices, so that the little emperor was very unhappy, gradually, understand the purpose of the Donglin Party to support themselves, is to let themselves be their puppets, to say well, to achieve the rule of the literati, the people are in the dynasty, in fact, on behalf of the forces behind them, hollowing out the country, with the interests of the country to meet the interests of the forces behind them, which made the little emperor change his view of the Donglin Party. Otherwise, he wouldn't have drummed up a eunuch party to compete with Donglin. Some people say that the eunuch party is in power, but it is nepotism, but that is pure nonsense.
Therefore, the apocalypse attacked Donglin and restricted the eunuchs. But in the matter of King Xin's entry into the domain, the two parties were surprisingly unanimous, which was not what he wanted, and in fact, he didn't want his only brother to be too far away from him. He is still too young and needs to take care of himself, he is still too immature, and he still needs to take care of it by himself. If the crown prince can live to be older, he will abdicate and go to Xihai to retire, and let his younger brother assist him in governing the country. If the prince can't do it, he will give the throne to his younger brother at the right time, and go to the West Sea to relax. Therefore, I can't keep my brother out of my sight. Once the younger brother is gone, the brothers can never see each other again. According to the rules of his ancestors, from now on, he can't even take half a step out of the city where he is in the domain, how can he always quietly run in and out to bring freshness to himself like now.
Thinking of the little brother carrying a big food box and bringing cold powder to himself with sweat, his heart warmed and his eyes softened.
"My younger brother is really still young, what can a little child do in the palace? What can be done? Say whatever you say outside, let them go. As for the domain, there is no fief in the world that matches him. ”
"There are actually fiefs that match King Shin." As soon as he heard that the emperor was prevaricating with this fief that did not match King Xin, Wei Zhongxian did his homework this time, and searched for it in all the big cities in the world, and there was really a result: "There is really a big city that matches King Xin, and that is Xinyang Mansion." ”
As a result, Tianqi didn't even think about it, and shook his head directly as if he had already prepared: "No, no, Xinyang is the thoroughfare of the three provinces and the center of the world." In addition to the fact that Hong Wuye sealed a county lord's station, he will definitely not be rewarded externally, which is an ancestral training. The ancestral precepts cannot be disobeyed, and they are also afraid that another ambitious prince will come out in the future, and this country will be ruined. ”。
Wei Zhongxian directly despised it, you clearly want to give the country to your younger brother, but now you are afraid that a prince will rebel in Xinyang, isn't this your own two-faced.
"Okay, today I let out cruel words, those bastards don't agree to the salt tax, I'll pick and don't do it, what is the attitude of the minister outside? What are Jinyiwei and Dongchang doing, and they haven't found out at this time. ”
