The strongest, the fastest update of the latest chapter of the prosperous Ming Dynasty!

Approaching the end of the year, there were many fewer errands in the yamen, which made the officials move around more, so when Hu Hu ordered his cronies to send a letter to Lu Jin, asking him to come to the house tonight, he didn't let him have another idea.

After dusk, when the lights were on, Lu Zhen rushed to Hu's mansion by car, and after revealing his identity, he didn't need to pass it on, so he went directly to the hall and entered the room, and under the guidance of the housekeeper, he came to Hu Hui's study in the courtyard of Sanjin.

But when he came to the study with the thick curtains, he was stunned. It was only because he realized that there was not only a teacher in the study, and there was also a soft conversation coming from inside. Subconsciously, Lu Zhen glanced back at the Hu family steward who had led him in, and he hurriedly smiled at him, before he stepped forward to report: "Master, Lord Lu has arrived." ”

"Oh, it's Shansi here, come in, it's really cold outside." Hu Hu quickly responded, but he didn't hear anything unusual. Since the teacher had ordered him so, Lu Zhen naturally didn't want to stay outside, so he reached out and lifted the door curtain and walked into the warm study like a spring day.

After entering the door, he first saluted Hu Hu, who was sitting on the main seat: "The lower official has seen the lord of the department, but he didn't know that there were guests here, but it was a little abrupt." While speaking, he glanced at the guest again, and found that it was not a living person, but Yang Shan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites. Because of the presence of outsiders, his title became like that of the court.

"Hehe, you don't have to be polite, in fact, the old man asked you to come and it was also Lord Yang's idea, come, sit down and talk." Hu Hu smiled again, and ordered someone to serve tea. These words made the doubts in Lu Jin's heart unconsciously deepen, so he could only sit down first to see what his intentions were.

Hu Hu said: "The old man talked about you with Lord Yang just now. In the past few decades, the old man has read countless people and accepted a lot of protégés, but in terms of talent and talent, none of them can compare to you. In time, you will be able to surpass the old man and go down in history. ”

"The teacher has an overreputation, and the students dare not be ashamed." Seeing that Hu Hu actually broke the relationship between the two parties by himself, Lu Zhen was strange, and he could only call the other party a teacher again.

Yang Shan only spoke at this time: "Lu Shilang is too modest, everything you have done for the court in the past few years is extremely important, and it can be said that the credit is great, but it makes me and other old ministers of the court who have a vegetarian meal embarrassed." Moreover, you have won the trust of His Majesty, and in a few years, it is very possible to enter the cabinet and assist the government, and it is even easier to leave a reputation in the annals of history. ”

In the face of this somewhat blunt praise, Lu Zhen just smiled and said that he didn't dare to take it seriously, but he didn't take it to heart. He still knows a little about this Ministry of Rites. Don't look at him as a little low-key on weekdays, but in fact, he is the main force that opposes the opening of the sea, and Ding Zongshu is just pushed ahead by him. Such a person who completely disagrees with his own views makes him really unable to believe the other party's statement.

Sure enough, soon, Yang Shan changed the conversation: "But in the old man's opinion, it is not only a blessing to be trusted by His Majesty, but it is also a responsibility. Not to mention to Jun Yaoshun, you should let Your Majesty do the way of the Ming Jun. Does Lord Lu think that what the old man said has some truth? ”

"What the boss said is that those who are ministers should take it as their responsibility to assist His Majesty in consolidating my country." Lu Jin said a cliché noncommittally.

"That's it." Unexpectedly, the other party stroked his palm and said, "It seems that Lord Lu, you are also a person in my Dao, so there are some things to say." ”

When did I become a fellow believer with you? Lu Zhen muttered in his heart, but his face was deaf, and he looked polite.

"Today, Your Majesty is a saint, and since he ascended the throne, he has been thriving in governing the world. However, a wise man must make a mistake in a thousand thoughts, and in some small things, His Majesty will always have something to lose. The old man thinks that we who are ministers should point out these shortcomings, so that we can be officials in vain. However, Yang Shan was not in a hurry to get to the point, but talked to Lu Zhen about the truth, which made the latter feel helpless for a while, and even the smile on his face seemed a little stiff.

Hu Hu watched from the side, and there was a hint of playfulness in his eyes. This Yang Shan is indeed a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, and he actually likes to preach so much. There are some things that have a better effect if you say them directly, otherwise your own momentum will leak first.

So after listening to the other party's refusal to enter the topic in circles, the old man finally coughed lowly: "Shansi, you are a close minister of the Son of Heaven, what is Your Majesty's intention recently, you should have heard about it, right?" ”

"Huh? What is a teacher...... What about the New Year's Day ceremony? In fact, he had vaguely guessed something when he saw this Ministry of Rites Shangshu, and now that Hu Hu mentioned it, he naturally knew better.

Yang Shan nodded: "That's it." His Majesty actually wants His Royal Highness King Yu to enter the temple to worship on behalf of the prince this time, which is really unreasonable. As the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, how could the old man not be able to watch His Majesty make such a big mistake...... However, Your Majesty is a king after all, and there are some things that are difficult for our courtiers to explain, so I ......"

Looking at his embarrassed look, Hu Hu had no choice but to continue to help and said: "Shansi, you are a courtier that Your Majesty values and trusts, and Your Majesty is willing to listen to what you say, so Lord Yang means that I hope that you will come forward to dissuade Your Majesty from doing this wrong thing again." I don't know what you think? While saying this, he gave Lu Zhen another look.

Lu Zhen will immediately come to his senses, obviously the other party is using that set of big principles to pressure the teacher, so he will agree to discuss with himself in desperation. This person is really good at wishful thinking, he doesn't want to annoy the Son of Heaven too much, so he actually threw this trouble to others.

Thinking about it a little deeper, Lu Zhen faintly thought of it again, I am afraid that the other party has even guessed that he gave this idea to the Son of Heaven. So when he felt that it was difficult to do, he used the name of Hu Hu to make it difficult for him to get along with himself.

It's really a good calculation, but it's a pity that all that little bit of thought was spent on such people's calculations, but it didn't work in the right place.

The thought turned in his heart, which dispelled the last bit of respect that Lu Zhen had for Yang Shan, so his gaze became sharp: "In this way, the lord is opposed to the matter of the prince being replaced by the prince of the temple to become a priest?" ”

"Exactly. Not only the old man, I think that the whole court and the middle of the country will not think that this is in accordance with the etiquette law. It's Lord Hu, I'm afraid it's the same idea. Yang Shan said immediately, and pulled Hu Hu out by the way. And the latter gave a wry smile and didn't say anything.

"Then if the lower official says that it is better to follow His Majesty's wishes, what will Lord Yang think?" Lu Zhen looked at him and said.

"Lord Lu can say this, the old man is relieved......" Halfway through the words, this person realized that Lu Zhen did not mean to follow his own opinion, and the smile on his face suddenly froze, full of embarrassment: "Lord Lu, you ......"

"Since some things are said in front of the enlightened people, they are not secretly spoken. To tell you the truth, this idea was originally dedicated to His Majesty, do you think I will deny the method I proposed? Lu Zhen simply told him bluntly.

And this time, he caught the other party off guard, Yang Shan just looked at him in a daze, and he didn't know what to say. Even Hu Hu looked at his proud disciple with some puzzlement, not understanding why he suddenly became so straightforward.

Seeing that they didn't speak, Lu Zhen continued: "As for the reason, in fact, Lord Yang, you should also know it. His Majesty had long had the intention of appointing King Yu as the prince, but all along, the officials of the Manchu Dynasty refused to agree, so it has dragged on to this day. ”

"The crown prince is my Ming country, how can he change it at will?" Yang Shan sensed something, and quickly made his position clear.

"Yes, then dare to ask your lord, is the crown prince important, or is the son of heaven important?" Lu Zhen asked suddenly.

"This ...... Of course, the Son of Heaven is more important. ”

"A few years ago, we were able to change the Son of Heaven, why can't we change the Crown Prince today?" Lu Zhen continued to ask: "What's more, the crown prince Zhu Jianshen is not the son and son of His Majesty today, but you always use the etiquette law to oppose His Majesty's establishment of another son and son as an heir, but where did you put Your Majesty?" In the latter sentence, the tone is already a little heavy.

And Yang Shan was silent when he heard this: "But the prince is not immoral, how can he say that he is abolished?" If Your Majesty insists on going his own way, it will inevitably lead to the disobedience of the subjects of the world, and it will be a big obstacle to our Ming Dynasty. ”

Shit's obstacle! Lu Zhen really wanted to directly burst into foul language, it's not that these guys are complacent, and they have to insist on it in order to flaunt their existence. But of course, he couldn't say that, but said, "Do you think only about the present, but not about the future?" Not to mention what His Royal Highness King Yu thinks about this matter when he becomes an adult, His Majesty's attitude towards the crown prince alone is enough to lay a hidden danger for my Daming. Since the past dynasties, there have certainly been nephews who have succeeded to the throne, but it is mostly because the son of heaven has no queen, so there will be this flexibility. But now that His Majesty has an heir, how can he stick to the rules because of what happened at the beginning?

"Also, Yang Butang just mentioned that it is not good for the prince to be abolished if he has not lost his morality, so have you thought about it, this is where His Majesty's virtuous and benevolent virtue lies. To say something that shouldn't be said, if you really push Your Majesty tightly, the crown prince is in the palace! ”

Yang Shan may not agree with the previous words. But this last sentence hit him like a thunderbolt above his head, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.

Yes, the crown prince is now in the palace, has he made a mistake or not, it is not a matter of His Majesty's words? Not only that, but if you really think about it deeply, I'm afraid that it will take his life in the mind of His Majesty. If Your Majesty is really determined to make King Yu his heir, he only needs to be ruthless, but everyone can't even find a reason to oppose it......
