Chapter 143: The Son of the World Asks to See

Previous Chapter

The mansion of the British Duke is not far from the imperial city, and the people of later generations may be like Zhu Yousong before, for the original figures in the history of the late Ming Dynasty, only know a few emperors or eunuchs, the nine-thousand-year-old Wei Zhongxian's "prestige", and many people know him, and when it comes to the British Duke Zhang Weixian, people do not have so much knowledge.

People only know that Wei Zhongxian is flying and domineering, deceiving the upper and lower, in the court, it is to get the wind and the rain, and the people who run to hug the thighs, build the ancestral hall, and recognize the godfather and grandfather have respected Wei Zhongxian to the position of a living saint.

But Wei Zhongxian, a figure who has only one hand all day and is roaring, has no way to take the British prince Zhang Weixian, which makes this British prince ruthlessly appear in the history of the late Ming Dynasty several times, leaving a strong stroke.

At that time, Zhu Yousong only heard Hu Tiande say that he didn't take this pillar of the country to heart, perhaps because Zhu Yousong, the son of the blessed king, had a high starting point, and not only ascended to the sky in one step at the beginning, but also became the prince of the prince, and there was an emperor who was a good buddy in his previous life and this life as a backer, so he was naturally a little fluttering.

After he really spent some days in the Ming Dynasty and learned about the grievances and entanglements between various interest groups such as the Ming Dynasty emperor, civil officials, and eunuchs, he knew that the long-looking and kind-eyed British Duke he saw for the first time in the Xinwang Mansion was really boundless.

After all, Zhu Yousong's previous impression of the emperor mostly came from TV dramas in the Qing Dynasty, where the emperor was either wise and martial, or witty and humorous, and the only thing in common was that he was a man of his word, a real golden mouth, and a word of law.

He began to think that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty was also like this, and when he now had a basic understanding of the political situation of the Ming Dynasty, he knew that if the emperor of the Ming Dynasty did not really have two brushes, he could only be a deaf and blind man in the palace. is as willful as the old man Wanli back then, isn't it only possible to threaten the courtiers with picking, and punish the officials with spanking?

Zhu Yousong rode on a horse, guarded by everyone like stars and moons, thinking about some of the things he had seen and heard about this era since he came to the Ming Dynasty.

The mansion of the British Duke is not far from the imperial city, and Zhu Yousong and his party have not been gone for long, and a pair of big stone lions in front of the British Duke are already in sight. The mansion of the British Duke is indeed convenient for a high-ranking minister who needs to go to the court, but for a person with such a high and powerful position, it is faintly unsuitable.

Because the mansion of the British Duke is not large, the door is three, and the hall is five, not to mention the scale and pattern of such a building, not to mention the comparison with the buildings of the Jiangnan gentry, even compared with the houses of those who are a little more famous in the south of the Yangtze River, it is also incomparable, and it really looks a little shabby. After all, people in this season have money, either to buy land or to build houses, and they can't escape the things of fine clothes and food, and beautiful mansions.

The reason why the mansion of the British duke is "not big" is that at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the scale, shape, and decorative characteristics of the mansions of the princes and officials at all levels below the prince and the government and the people were clearly stipulated, and a ban was promulgated. And he is under the nose of the Son of Heaven, no matter what the situation outside the capital, anyway, the people in the capital are still very taboo about trespassing.

When in front of the first Guogong Gate, Zhu Yousong was not presumptuous, and the guards stepped forward to report that the people guarding the door were also accustomed to seeing the market. But as soon as he heard that the one sitting on the horse was the prince of Fuwang, who was now in the limelight in the capital, he ran back without looking back.

The three core figures of the British Mansion, the study, and the Guogong Mansion are all here.

An old man with a white beard frowned, put his hands behind his back, and paced back and forth a little anxiously. This person is the British public Zhang Weixian that Zhu Yousong asked to see today.

A young man who was about a weak crown and dressed in white looked at the anxious appearance of the old man in front of him and said suspiciously: "Grandpa, I see what the prince has done since he entered Beijing, he is low-key and introverted, and he behaves moderately, neither oppresses the good, nor loots the people's wealth, he is willing to fight with those corrupt officials and corrupt officials, let him go!" What does it have to do with our Zhang family? Moreover, I heard that he has a very good relationship with the Holy God today, how can there be so many gossip? The person who spoke was Zhang Shize, Zhang Weixian's grandson. As a young man, he has some opinions about what the two brothers Zhu Yousong and Zhu Youzhen did.

"Ignorance!"

Zhang Weixian didn't speak, Zhang Shize's father Zhang Zhiji, who was sitting on the side, opened his mouth and reprimanded: "The ancestors of my Zhang family have succeeded with the ancestors, and the Zhang family can only stand tall by relying on the emperor's grace and trust. ”

Zhang Weixian nodded and continued: "This is reasonable, the eunuch party was powerful at the beginning, but it was the emperor's minions, Donglin was not satisfied with it, although it was full of people in the world, most of them were also for their own selfishness. In this kind of party struggle, our Guogong Mansion will naturally not stand in line, and the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies and the Beijing Camp have this weight, but now we can't help but express our attitude. No matter what the relationship between the emperor and the prince is, the prince of Fu Wang can't stay in the capital for a moment! ”

Zhang Zhiji looked at Zhang Shize, who didn't care, and knew that he didn't listen, his son was good everywhere, good-looking, capable of literature and martial arts, but he was an idiot in politics, and he hid in the house all day long and tinkered with useless things.

I used to think it was okay, but I felt that he wouldn't be like the descendants of other powerful families, swaggering around and causing trouble to the family. But now it seems that there are some things that he has to learn now, so he explained: "At the beginning, I guessed with your grandfather that the prince of Fuwang entered Beijing, which was a move for today's son. When today's son is still young and has to be in the position of his father and brother, it is inevitable that his subordinates will feel lonely. I thought that the prince of Fuwang was a proton, and after the situation of the court stabilized, he would naturally return Luoyang, how did he know that he had calculated everything, and he never expected that the emperor would leave the prince of Fuwang in the capital, and he was entrusted with a heavy task, isn't this a problem for raising tigers? ”

Today, the three members of the Zhang family gathered together, naturally they received an olive branch from some forces in the DPRK and China, and wanted to unite with them to drive this prince of Fu Wang out of the capital! We can't let this uncertainty appear in the court again!

Now that the prince of Fuwang is in the limelight in Beijing, this kid's performance in the court a few days ago can be described as shattering! Originally, people thought that he was an insatiable vulgar man, who only liked white silver, yellow, orange and orange gold, and beautiful women......

People naturally do what they like, and this prince will give whatever he likes! At that time, the gift-giver actually looked down on this "rural" earthen bun, antique calligraphy and painting, famous calligraphy and other priceless treasures of literati, because it was not easy to realize, there was no knowledgeable master around him to distinguish the real from the fake, and they refused to accept it! Since he is so vulgar, then I can only be vulgar with this vulgar person, right?

But who knew that this kid actually hid a small book!

And when the court meeting, it was handed over to the emperor!

At this time, the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty saw clearly, where is this Fu Wang Shizi a layman, he is simply a stunned young man, he is completely torn his face with the civil and military officials, and completely broke the unspoken rules of courtesy and exchange between the DPRK and China, since he does not follow the rules, it is no wonder that some people want to pour dirty water on him, sometimes this trick is very useful, as long as there are enough people attacking you, how can you prove your innocence? Is it like in "Let the Bullets Fly", cut open your stomach and saw how many bowls of cold noodles you ate at the bottom?

Zhang Weixian didn't want to participate in this "pinching persimmon" operation, but he was the prince of the dynasty, and it was inevitable that he would make a statement, no matter what the purpose, he seemed to be forced to stand in the same boat with those unsightly forces, Zhang Weixian was still hesitating, and he heard someone outside the door shouting: "Master, the prince of Fu Wang asks to see outside the door!" ”
