Chapter 212: Initiation

Although the first month of the year is the new year, the real spring in the north has always come very late. It is said that it is warm and cold at first, and the clothes are all thick cotton jackets, as if there is no difference from winter. The tree was still bare, and so was the garden, and the only signs of spring were a few green weeds by the roadside, and the spring shoots that broke through the ground.

Before the spring rain came, the spring thunder sounded in the city of Beijing. Not long after the edict for bluntness was issued, and before there was a clue to this wide open speech, Meng Xian and Sun Lianggan were sent to the capital by two fast horses, and then transferred from the cabinet to the imperial case, and then exploded like a thunderbolt above the heads of countless people. However, this is only the first batch.

It's just a day late, and Zhu Zhanqi, the king of Shouguang, who was crowned with countless crimes on the first two folds, also sent a fold. However, he did not defend himself, but carefully listed his father's every move after he took up the domain, including the resentment behind his back, the private expansion of private troops, the private occupation of salt works, the private collection of commercial taxes, the private handover with local officials, and the private Le'an...... All in all, there are so many rules and regulations that even Yang Rong breaks out in a cold sweat when he sees them, let alone others.

However, since the onset of wind paralysis, Zhu Di, who often gets angry and kills people at every turn, did not get angry this time. Meng Xian and Sun Lianggan's excerpts were just casually thrown aside, but he stared at Zhu Zhanqi's excerpt of the dragon flying and phoenix dance and read it many times, as if he wanted to memorize all the words in his heart. However, the more he was like this, the more the eunuchs and palace maids who served him were trembling, and they worked hard for several days, and in the end, Zhang Qian, who was helpless, had to go to Wang Guifei for a solution.

The concubine couldn't interfere in state affairs, and Wang Guifei racked her brains, but she just persuaded Zhu Di to take the medicine and fall asleep. Helpless in her heart, she thought about it. I couldn't go to see those foreign officials, so I had to take a few palace maids and eunuchs to Gyeongbokgung Palace. Although the weather is still cold, she has given up her shoulders to walk. When she arrived at the gate of Gyeongbokgung Palace, she ordered that no communication should be allowed, leaving a few eunuchs outside, and she only brought two palace maids inside.

"Since the time of Emperor Taizu, there has been a hadith that vassal kings are not allowed to compete with the people for profit, and they actually dare to fight the idea of salt farms! Mr. Hu mentioned it to me when he was alive. The salt merchants' defense is becoming more and more serious, and there is no one to pay grain in the frontier, and the output of this salt farm is also low, and the salt law will be very bad in the long run! King Shouguang invaded the salt field on the one hand, and on the other hand, he judged his father by his son, where is there still filial piety of the son of man, and loyalty of the minister! ”

Wang Guifei had already heard the voice of Zhu Zhanji, the crown prince, and knew that there were outsiders inside. After a while, he sat on the ondol outside. Seeing that a little eunuch had brought tea and was about to report it to the inside, she shook her head slightly. Holding the Anhua Yunwu Tea and taking a sip, she heard another voice from inside.

"Since the emperor's accession to the throne, he has always severely punished those domineering vassal kings, but King Han is the emperor's concubine after all. King Shouguang is also a grandson, although the emperor is angry about this time, it is difficult to say how to deal with it now. The emperor's grandson, King Shouguang, has clearly said that the Han King is reversed. The minister is only afraid...... By the way, there is another twist in Qingzhou Mansion today, which was jointly sent by the prefect Ling Hua and the same governor Zhang Yue, and I have submitted it to the emperor, and I have copied a copy here, and the imperial grandson may wish to take a look. ”

Hearing that the two people inside were just talking endlessly, Wang Guifei couldn't help but sigh, and saw that the eunuch who served tea just now was standing there with a worried face. She nodded and motioned for him to come in and report. Not long after, she saw through the bead curtain that a eunuch had sent someone out, and then Zhu Zhanji actually greeted her in person.

"Why doesn't the concubine come and make people say anything? If I had known, how dare I let you sit and wait outside? ”

Wang Guifei smiled and waved her hand to say that it was okay, and asked who was talking inside, and when she heard that it was Yang Rong, she laughed: "It turned out to be the one who changed his name himself, and I heard that he has been teaching you since Master Hu died." In that case, what's the matter if I wait? I've just warmed up the temple. It's easy to persuade the emperor to sleep. But there are also a few words for you. ”

Since the death of Empress Xu, Zhu Di has been exactly the same as the pioneer Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang. The middle palace was never established again, and the one who took the sixth palace was Wang Guifei. Although she is modest, but once Zhu Di is angry, only she dares to persuade and persuade, the first time when the Han King was almost demoted to a commoner, if she didn't meet and begg, even if it was the prince's plea, it might not work. Even if it is Zhu Zhanji, there are occasional times when he touches Zhu Di's bad head, so the love of the princess is more than once.

At that moment, he bent down respectfully: "Please instruct the concubine." ”

"It's not a word of instruction, it's just a few words of instruction. Come, you sit down. Motioning for Zhu Zhanji to sit down at the west end of the kang, Wang Guifei said, "The assassination of the Han King is over, and there are many rumors inside and outside the court, but the emperor has always been worried about it. I have seen that bloody dress a few times in the inner study, and every time the emperor will sigh and talk about the events of the year, it can be seen that the emperor just hates iron and steel. You are the grandson of the emperor, and when you are free, you will accompany the emperor to talk about family affairs, and now you must not mention this matter again, understand? ”

If it was someone else's nagging and talking about this, Zhu Zhanji would definitely scoff, but since Wang Guifei was so solemn, he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly agreed. During the conversation, he suddenly noticed that Wang Guifei's white hair was suddenly exposed under the golden jade bead hairpins on her temples, and her face was much thinner than last year's haggard, and he couldn't help but feel sorry in his heart, but he heard Wang Guifei ask abruptly.

"By the way, I just heard you and Xiao Yang mention Zhang Yue, but that nephew of the British commons?"

"It's him, why, even the concubine knows about his reputation?"

"Everyone in this palace who knows how to read has read his strange article, how can I not know?" Wang Guifei couldn't help but smile slightly at this time, and explained, "The British duchess entered the palace after the mattress ended, but was asked by several concubines, and I learned that the young man was actually unmarried because of the emperor's words, and everyone was surprised!" Speaking of which, when I just went to the warm hall, I saw that the emperor was looking at the excerpt on his joint name with others, and his face was sometimes cloudy and sometimes sunny. Fortunately, the emperor finally put down the fold and put it in the left corner of the imperial case. It has always been a fold that should be kept and then seen, which shows that he has some real talent at a young age. ”

Zhu Zhanji also knew about Zhu Di's habit, and at this time he was more curious about what was written in the compromise. After all, Zhang Yue mentioned the matter of salt affairs to him when he gave gifts before, and then there was such a series of major events. It would be strange if he didn't move at all. After a few more words with Wang Guifei, he had to promise that he would never open a pot in front of Zhu Di, so he personally sent her out, and when he turned around, he immediately took out the transcript from his sleeve.

Zhu Zhanji has seen Meng Xian's recital, and he doesn't know which wonderful pen he has written, as if every word is for the country and the people, and 10,000 catties of salt can save the people of Shandong from fire and water; And Sun Lianggan's twists and turns revealed a kind of anger from beginning to end. The implication is that King Shouguang is heinous and the King of Han has ill intentions, and the court should be sympathetic to the people's hearts and strength, and has the intention of instigating the emperor to kill his relatives in righteousness.

Bi Zhang Yue also mentioned the same thing here, but it was only a passing mention, but there he analyzed the pros and cons of the Zhongyan method, which was written extremely clearly and in detail, and proposed an improvement method. That's enough in the first place, and it's a great article. But at the end, it was mentioned that the Shandong Pre-Repair Society would pass the river, and the wood and stone for Beijing to repair the palace city, and the people were suffering from forced labor, and his face changed greatly.

"This kid...... Don't you understand it? ”

When Zhu Zhanji was stamping his feet there, he saw that Zhang Yuejuan had transcribed Du Zhen and sighed there.

He traveled the world for ten years. The longest stay was in Henan, but the second was Shandong, so the officials of the political secretary bullied him for being a newcomer, and he just laughed it off. Although after he took office, it seemed that only the left-handed political envoy Zhang Haima was the first to look forward. But first the assassination of King Han, then the heavy snow in Shandong, followed by another major salt case, Zhang Hai almost picked up, and he supported it. At this time, Lao Song Li was leading people to investigate the cases in Shandong, but Zhang Yue suddenly made such an excerpt!

The timing is right, the opinions are good, and the words are correct. It's true that he has taught for so many years, but why should he draw snakes and add more ones later? This will open the river for the purpose of communicating with Caoyun and repair, and this Beijing city is built for the purpose of moving the capital, isn't this deliberately finding fault for yourself? Just as he shook his head again, a voice sounded behind him.

"Master, what is the reason for you shaking your head and sighing? The Yuan Festival is still young, even if it's not good to be on a good one, you don't have to pick bones like this, right? Qiu Shi listened to Ming Di say that Du Zhen was unhappy. So Fang hurriedly came. See Du Zhen turn around. She snorted again, "Speaking of which." Even if you look at the Yuan Festival as well as me, you don't have to send Wan'er over. What do you say to me just in case, but I see that he is only promoted, where is the slightest danger! ”

His wife's temperament Du Zhen naturally knew it, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly at this time. However, when he heard Qiu Shi talk about Zhang Yue who was only promoted and was not in danger, he suddenly realized something, and the joints that he couldn't figure out just now suddenly became clear. This edict is naturally rewarded, Zhang Yue's article combines his original views, and adds some new and interesting things, maybe he will be promoted again. But Zhang Yue was just promoted to one level not long ago, and now it would be too terrifying if he was promoted again.

"It makes sense for me to let Wan'er stay there." Du Zhen casually put down the transcript in his hand and said thoughtfully, "The invisible danger is the most dangerous, although the midwinter has passed now, but since the spring thunder has exploded, this matter is just the beginning." You pick two capable little guys tomorrow and send some things to Qingzhou for me to give Yuan Jie and Wan'er, well, it's the two silver vermilion tassels that they sent before, and you order someone to send them. ”
