Chapter 523 Long Talk
Zhu Hai originally listened to Qian Sunai talking here with an expressionless face, but when he heard that Qian Sunai recommended himself to be the chief secretary of the Prince's East Palace, Zhu Hai's face turned pale.
In order to educate the prince of the country, the Ming Dynasty set up the Zhan Mansion in the Hongwu period, with the left and right Zhan Affairs, the same knowledge of the Zhan Affairs, the deputy Zhan Affairs, the Zhan Affairs, the left and right rate of the government envoys, the same knowledge of the left and right rate of the government affairs, the left and right rate of the government deputy envoys, Yude, and Zanshan doctors. There are also officials such as literature, middle house, orthography, waiting, washing horses, concubines, and praise reading.
These people are all selected by the emperor to be talented, and these official positions are not high, but because they are next to the prince, they will definitely rise when the prince ascends the throne, so these official positions are the close attention of various forces in the court.
However, because the current dynasty favored Guangdong and there was a real shortage of intellectuals, in addition to some major departments, the ministers of the DPRK and China were able to complete all the other departments such as the General Administration Department, the Hanlin Yuan, the Guozijian, the Sixth Branch, the Qintianjian, and the Taifu Temple, and so on. Therefore, there is only one subordinate official in the East Palace, Zhang Jiayu, who is regarded as the prince's teacher, and none of the other subordinate officials.
Today, Qian Sunai said that there is nothing on the surface of such a statement, and the main book of the prince's East Palace can only learn enough from the seventh grade to take on the identity of Qian Sunai, but the meaning of this is completely different.
The chief bookkeeper of the East Palace is in charge of the prince's documents, and he has always been the prince's henchman, but now Qian Sun Ai wants this official position, Zhu Hai can't understand why he is? Is it Qian Sunai's own impromptu intention or is the Qian Qianyi behind him to test himself?
Zhu Hai's face turned several times, and he hurriedly said: "As the prince of this palace, this is not something I can decide, all the subordinate officials of the East Palace must listen to the deployment of my father!" Zhu Hai's words are not leaky, and the experience of the past few years coupled with the teaching of Zhang Jiayu, a teacher of Houhei, Zhu Hai has become very experienced in politics.
Qian Sunai smiled faintly when he heard Zhu Hai say this, and what the prince said was also politically correct, after all, he was Qian Qianyi's son, and his father still had a good relationship with Tong Yangjia, Tong Yangjia was a staunch supporter of the King of Chu, and it was reasonable for Zhu Hai to say this.
"Your Highness, the minister's visit this time is not a study tour, but a special trip to meet His Highness, and the minister has already planned to take refuge in His Highness!"
Qian Sunai's naked confession made Zhu Hai very uncomfortable, and in his heart, of course he welcomed Qian Sunai's refuge. Behind Qian Sunai stands Qian Qianyi, and behind Qian Qianyi is the entire Donglin Party, although the Donglin Party is not as energetic as in previous years, but after all, there are still many supporters among the people. One of the most important things is that there is a concubine behind the Qian family.
Although Ma Ruyan is in charge of everything in the palace now, Ma Ruyan is not the queen, but the imperial concubine, while Qian Yuting is the concubine and the second in command in the harem. In addition, Qian Yuting's identity is much stronger than Ma Ruyan, Ma Ruyan was only the eldest daughter of Ma Jiyuan, and she had promised others before, and it was her father Zhu Hongsanqiang who snatched it.
Qian Yuting is different, Qian Yuting is Qian Qianyi's daughter-in-law, although it was also robbed by Zhu Hongsan, but Emperor Hongguang issued a marriage edict, and Hongguang Emperor Zhu Yousong is the last emperor of the former Ming Dynasty recognized by Zhu Hongsan, so Qian Yuting's identity is no worse than Ma Ruyan in the harem.
In fact, there is another person in Zhu Hongsan's harem who is more valuable than these two, that is, Zhu Yujiao, the eldest daughter of Emperor Zhu Youzhen of Chongzhen. But this matter is really embarrassing, Zhu Hongsan is the same generation as Zhu Yujiao according to his generation, he is Zhu Yujiao's cousin, and now his cousin is married to his cousin, which is really a royal scandal.
Of course, Zhu Hongsan didn't care about it before, but now it's different, Zhu Hongsan occupied Nanjing to worship the filial piety tomb and became the seventeenth emperor of the Ming Dynasty, this kind of scandal has become Zhu Hongsan's annoyance, so Zhu Hongsan has not given Zhu Yujiao an identity until now, but the identity of the princess of the previous dynasty was raised in the palace, although Zhu Yujiao has given birth to four princesses for Zhu Hongsan.
Zhu Hai summed up in his heart, now Qian Guifei has no son and only a daughter, if Qian Sun loves to take refuge in himself, then he will have the strength to borrow in the palace, and he will not be isolated, and if he has anything wrong, he can also be handled by Qian Guifei. But Qian Qianyi and Tong Yangjia had a hot fight, and Qian Qianyi, as a scholar, should rely on Zhu Huai, the king of Chu, why did his son Qian Sunai take refuge in himself? Could it be that Qian Qianyi also has plans to burn the cold stove and not put his eggs in one basket?
After thinking about it clearly, Zhu Hai decided to ask Qian Sun Ai, after all, there are too many things involved in this kind of thing, and it is easy for Zhu Huai, the king of Chu, to catch the handle.
"Zigao, the third brother of the palace, Zhu Huai, is known for his talent, and he also holds a poetry meeting in Guangzhou every month, and he has some influence in the literati circle of Guangdong, why don't you recommend you to Zhu Huai's Chu Palace?"
Qian Sunai smiled in his heart when he heard the prince Zhu Hai say this, the prince's temptation is coming, he has to answer well, and what position he is in the prince's camp in the future depends on what he says.
"Your Royal Highness, the King of Chu is very literate, but the King of Chu and the literati are involved too much, if His Majesty the Emperor is interested in the King of Chu, won't this court become the second Wanli Dynasty in the future?"
After speaking, Qian Sunai stood up and continued: "Your Highness, the Ming Dynasty has today's disaster, is it really because of the invasion of the Liukou and the Manchu Dynasty?" Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong have some bravery, but they can't effectively win over the Shiren group, which can be seen from the fact that Li and Zhang can't have a stable base at all, so the minister said that Li and Zhang are just rogues, and they can't become the henchmen of the Ming Dynasty at all. ”
"And the Manchu Qing is about the same, the Manchu Qing has a total of only 200,000 people, since entering the customs, all the wars with our dynasty are led by traitors, I have a million armor, and the dead and wounded are not nothing, but the Manchus are not good, although the Manchus only lost 30,000 people in the Eight Banners in this war in Jiangxi, but the Manchus have been broken, which is what Dolgon is afraid of. The minister assured that the Manchus would never again invest such regular Eight Banner troops in future battles, but would rely on a large number of traitor troops who had surrendered to the past. However, Emperor Shenwu was eloquent and strategic, and he used to have the Manchu Manchu to find teeth in Guangdong, but now he has the richest Nanzhili and Zhejiang, and it is only a matter of time before the Manchus are eliminated. ”
Therefore, the minister assured that after His Majesty the Emperor recovered Nanjing, the war was no longer what the emperor was worried about, but the governance of the country was what the emperor was most worried about. Although His Majesty our emperor does not read, he knows the affairs of the previous dynasty in detail, and the secret ministers of the Beijing court also knew about it after going home and asking his father (Zhu Hongsan: Nonsense, those things in the Ming Dynasty were in vain?). )。 His Majesty looked down on the literati of the Wanli and Tianqi dynasties for controlling the government, and told the ministers many times that these stinky old nine were all cattle and horses, and they were going backwards if they didn't go. Therefore, the minister thought that the king of Chu deliberately befriended the literati would definitely disgust His Majesty, and now His Majesty is only temporarily relying on the literati for the great cause of the Northern Expedition, and after the elimination of the Manchu Dynasty, His Majesty will have no scruples, and it is estimated that the good days of the King of Chu will come to an end! ”
Qian Sunai's tirade made Zhu Hai nod secretly, and his teacher Zhang Jiayu also told Zhu Hai. However, Zhang Jiayu himself is a scholar, so naturally he can't say that his class is not good, but that the king of Chu will be unlucky in the future if he befriends a literati like this.
Zhu Hai then asked, "What about the second brother of the palace?" Bengong just heard that his father has agreed to the second brother to join the army, and he will become a strong competitor of Bengong in the future, Zigao will analyze it! ”
Qian Sunai saw that Zhu Hai's words had changed a little, and they had become a little inquisitive, and he was happy in his heart, which showed that the prince already felt that he was important in his heart.
Qian Sunai cheered up, took a sip of tea and prepared for a while, and then said: "Your Highness, it must be the imperial concubine's intention for King Qin to stand up and join the army this time. In the past, the minister had some understanding of this Qin king in Guangzhou, and this imperial brother of yours can be said to be a flying eagle lackey and a bad country. This time he suddenly had an idea about the throne must be something behind him, and the minister estimated that this person must be the imperial concubine, or it may be Ma Jiyuan, the grandfather of King Qin, after all, Lord Ma has some opinions about His Royal Highness's second uncle! ”
Qian Sunai's words were very polite, and he directly pointed out that Zhu Hai's two uncles did not deal with each other. Zhu Hai was very embarrassed: "Zigao, I'll talk about Uncle Bengong later, you can talk about Zhu Jiang first!" ”
"Your Highness, you have read the history books, is King Qin very similar to Zhu Di and Zhu Gaoxu? At that time, Zhu Di and Zhu Gaoxu were also brave and martial, and they were very trusted by Emperor Taizu Gao and Emperor Yongle. Emperor Yongle also said that he would make Zhu Gaoxu the crown prince. But the result? Emperor Taizu Gao did not set up Zhu Di when the crown prince Zhu Biao was dead, and Zhu Di himself set up his eldest son Zhu Gaochi as the crown prince as soon as he succeeded to the throne! Why is that? Because Emperor Taizu Gao set the "there is a grandson, no grandson and a long", which has been written into the Emperor Ming ancestral training, and now Emperor Shenwu worships the filial piety tomb and becomes the Ming Dynasty, and must abide by the Emperor Taizu Gao's imperial ancestral teachings, so His Royal Highness the Prince, are you still worried about King Qin? ”
Zhu Hai shook his head after hearing this: "But my father doesn't refuse to do things, in case... ”
As a prince, Zhu Hai has some things to say, but Qian Sunai knows that Zhu Hai is afraid that Zhu Hongsan is not ready to abide by Zhu Yuanzhang's imperial ancestral teachings. You must know that although Zhu Hongsan is a royal family, what he did is similar to that of Emperor Liu Xiu of the Han Dynasty, and he has already built a new dynasty, plus Zhu Hongsan, the emperor, has always been unexpected, and there is nothing wrong with not abiding by the ancestral teachings of the emperor, which can be seen in the names of several of his children.
According to the rules that Zhu Yuanzhang set up for Chu Fan that year, the name should be in accordance with "Meng Jijun Rongxian, Yinghua Yunshengrong, Hongcai Shengboyan, Mao Shili Quangong", Zhu Hongsan is the macro character generation, Zhu Hai should be the talent generation, and the last word should be the soil word edge, but Zhu Hongsan wants to highlight the majesty of his founding emperor, and learn from Zhu Yuanzhang to take a one-word name for his next generation. is a pioneer of the dynasty.
