Chapter 37: Don't be a saint, be a good minister

After Zhu Houzhao reissued Qi Lumi to the officers and soldiers of the regimental camp and the forbidden army with the silver earned through the royal exposition, it was not only Guo Rong's family who received favors, but also tens of thousands of middle- and lower-level officers and soldiers.

Guo Rong's subordinate Liang Ze also had money to ask Wen Po to deliver his daughter-in-law, and even a few days later, his daughter-in-law gave birth to a big fat boy for him.

For the soldiers of the imperial army, although Zhu Houzhao only gave each person a salary ranging from 100 taels to 5 taels, it really made these soldiers remember Zhu Houzhao and be loyal to Zhu Houzhao.

Emperor Zhu Houzhao of the Ming Dynasty not only gave them the guarantee of life, but also gave them the desire to change their lives through verbal encouragement and commitment.

Meanwhile.

Zhu Houzhao not only subdued the military spirit of the regimental battalion and the forbidden soldiers, but also affected Wang Yangming, who was the head of the military department at the time.

Wang Yangming was very inspired by Zhu Houzhao, so as soon as he returned to his home, he went into his study and worked hard to write, and he didn't even care about eating.

Recently, because the New Year is approaching, and the funeral ceremony of the emperor of Daxing is in charge of the Ministry of Rites, so Wang Hua, who was promoted to the head of the household department, is not too busy with government affairs, he is a little afraid of the cold and he went home early, and when he saw what his son Wang Yangming was writing in the study, he couldn't help but smile, thinking that his rebellious son was not in a daze in the bamboo forest or in the tree, but also knew how to read and write.

Wang Hua changed into his household clothes and walked to his son's side, and saw that his son was writing a song, and he was even more appreciative in his heart: "Now that you are an official of the imperial court, it is also very good to be dedicated to government affairs, and your duty as an official is also to benefit the people, what do you write?" ”

"Book of Ten Thousand Words!"

Wang Yangming replied, and continued to dip in ink and write.

Wang Hua was very shocked, he had never seen an official who wanted to write a book of 10,000 words for so many years, and he couldn't help but look at it.

But when Wang Hua saw that what was written on it were all "Xingwu Bei", "Recruiting Elite Soldiers", "Opening the Sea and Commerce" and the like, he couldn't help but be furious, grabbed this unfinished piece of music written by Wang Yangming and tore it up:

"Bastard! You're crazy! Who told you to write these! Do you think Lao Tzu has not lived long enough, and think that my Wang family is too stable and troublesome! I think the court is too calm! How can the old man have such a famous son as you! ”

"Master, the child is not selling fame and reputation, he is thinking about my Ming Dynasty and the society, to be precise, it is for my Han Dynasty, His Majesty is right when he inspected the regimental camp today, I can't repeat the road of the Two Song Dynasty! Although the change of dynasty is a common thing in the history books, after all, the rise and fall of a family is nothing, and it does not even have much impact on this famous family such as us, but if a foreign race destroys my country, it is not a dead family, but a dead China!

The Ming Dynasty can die, but the Ming Dynasty can not die in the hands of foreign races, the child is both the minister of the Ming Dynasty and the people of China, when the admonition of the monarch to take advantage of the day when the Ming Dynasty is still strong to revitalize the military prestige, sweep away the Tartars outside the Saiwai, in order to avoid the invasion of the Chinese country by foreign races after a hundred years, as well as the Western Fan from the east and the west, all have the ambition to regard my China as a fat! ”

When Wang Yangming spoke, Wang Hua was already trembling with anger: "What nonsense are you talking about, you want Your Majesty to be reckless, how can the rise and fall of the Ming Dynasty have nothing to do with you, now the old man can see that you are not only a rebel, you are also a rebel!" If the old man doesn't kill you today, you will eventually kill the king and usurp the throne! ”

"Enough! Your Majesty is right, this is our time, sir, you are already old, you don't understand our thoughts very well, children can understand, but can you sit back and watch the Tartars wantonly plunder my border towns and kill my border people? You are also the head of the household, the six departments and the nine secretaries, and you can't even think of a way to get the money for the rice, you only know how much rice there is and how much food, you are not a chaotic minister, you are a mediocre minister! ”

Wang Yangming seemed to be stimulated by his father Wang Hua's actions, so he rebelled and directly satirized his father.

Hubu Shangshu Wang Hua was so angry that his face was full of shame, and he couldn't help but slap him directly, but in the end, he couldn't do it, so he sat down helplessly, lowered his hands and said: "It's the opposite, it's the opposite!" ”

Wang Yangming didn't say anything when he saw his father like this, he just stood silently beside him, his mouth was very high, and he looked at the book of 10,000 words that he hadn't finished writing on the ground and felt a little distressed: "The child has decided, don't be a saint and be a good minister, a saint can't get rid of the evil of people, but a good minister can assist the king to eliminate the hidden dangers of the world!" ”

Wang Hua didn't expect his son Wang Yangming to be so deviant, so angry that he stomped his feet and drank suddenly: "Someone!" Put Wang Yun in the firewood room! ”

Saying that, Wang Hua turned to Wang Yangming and said coldly: "The old man will write you a resignation tonight, and you go back to your hometown to study!" Leave you in the capital, sooner or later you will cause a monstrous disaster to my Wang family! It's also more than thirty people, why are you still so unsophisticated! ”

At this time, two Jian slaves of the Wang family walked in: "Master, do you really want to lock up the uncle?" ”

"Locked up! Don't let him out without my orders!" This son will become a shame for my royal family! ”

Wang Hua was furious, but he also lost his former gentleness and elegance, and his eyes erupted into fire when he looked at Wang Yangming.

And Wang Yangming talked about his nails lightly, as if his anger towards his father was commonplace, and he seemed to believe that his father would not do anything to him, so he waved his sleeves and followed the servant to the firewood room: "Sooner or later, the Wang family will be proud of me!" ”

It's the 10th day of October.

The Ministry of Rites has previously agreed that Emperor Daxing will respect Emperor Jiantianming, Daocheng, Chunzhong, Zheng, Shengwen, Shenwu, Zhiren, and Emperor Dade, and the temple number will be Xiaozong.

And now it is the time when Emperor Xiaozong's Zigong is buried in the mausoleum, according to the requirements of the Ministry of Rites, from October 16, Emperor Xiaozong's Zigong will set off to the imperial tomb.

From the 10th day of the first month of October, Taichang Temple will play a request for the beginning of fasting, and then Zhu Houzhao ordered the ministers to start fasting, and also to stay in the yamen, and prohibit slaughter and music until the end of the day when the Zigong Palace is buried in the mausoleum.

Zhu Houzhao also had to fast from this day, and because he had to complete the funeral of Emperor Xiaozong, he also had to return to the Forbidden City.

Because the Qianqing Palace was being repaired by the Ministry of Industry, Zhu Houzhao temporarily lived in the Cining Palace in the west of the Qianqing Palace, and the Empress Dowager Zhang also temporarily lived here, and the mother and son lived in the same palace at the same time.

Although Zhu Houzhao is now a traverser, now that he occupies the body of the son of Emperor Hongzhi and Empress Zhang, he should naturally fulfill his obligations as a son of man.

However, for the repair of the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Houzhao actually did not understand why the hundred officials were in a hurry to repair the Qianqing Palace for him, Hongzhi had not repaired it for 18 years, but he had to wait until the time of Emperor Xiaozong's burial to repair the Qianqing Palace, and it seemed to be very urgent, and the cabinet voted to approve it on the same day after the Ministry of Industry was played.

But Zhu Houzhao thought about it, and he could almost feel the thoughts of these civil officials, who just wanted to stay in the Forbidden City all the time.

Zhu Houzhao did not prevent the Ministry of Industry from repairing the Qianqing Palace for himself, he did not mind whether he would live in the Qianqing Palace or the leopard room in the future, in his opinion, as long as he was in power, even if he lived in the Qianqing Palace, the civil officials would not want to lock him in the Forbidden City.
