Chapter 266 - The Imperial Meeting
Zhu Hongsan's egg hurts now, and it hurts with hate. Why did you follow the advice of those stinky old nine to supervise the country as soon as your head was hot at that time? Otherwise, King Tang can ask for benefits now, and King Lu can still ask for benefits. Even in the future, it can swing left and right between the Manchu Qing Dynasty and the Yongli calendar. It was like now, and everyone sent people to scold themselves, saying that their blood was not pure.
The problem of identity is Zhu Hongsan's hard injury, he was only a remote clan before. After Zhu Hongsan's estimated 10,000 heirs to the throne of the King of Chu could be auctioned, Zhu Hongsan never expected that these stinky old nine in the Ming Dynasty would attach so much importance to blood.
When he first arrived in Guangdong, Zhu Hongsanman thought that as long as he insisted until Hongguang hung up, he would be the emperor in Guangdong, and the world would immediately return to his heart at that time. But the reality is not like that, Hongguang hung up this group of scholars and doctors and immediately launched a Tang Wang Jian Guo, and Zhu Hongsan, the king of Chu, was not in their eyes at all. However, if he has such a big business in Guangdong, if he does not have an advantage in legal theory, then those scholars and doctors under him will immediately go north to vote for the Tang Dynasty.
Now Zhu Hong's three prisons have advantages and disadvantages, and on the whole, the advantages still outweigh the disadvantages. That Li Zhi almost didn't scold his mother when he saw Zhu Hongsan at that time, but as soon as he arrived at Zhu Hongsan's official prison of the country, he immediately obeyed, and the same was true of Fu Wenlong in Nanyang.
The first few times the messengers from the Tang Dynasty had no status, and they couldn't afford to make a big storm in the Guangdong officialdom. However, Chen Zizhuang, who came this time, is not ordinary, and if he does not handle it well, he will lose the support of the people in Guangdong.
Zhu Hongsan lowered his head and thought of a way, if it doesn't work, let's do the old way? Keeping people directly? It may be useful, but it is also a good idea to let Chen go to see his father first, and to play the family card.
Zhu Hongsan returned to the backyard to find Chen. Now the backyard of the Chu Wangfu is even more crowded, and many people come in the backyard of Zhu Hong's three eunuchs, including eunuchs, guards, maids, and subordinates. The front yard also has to give up a few houses for the cabinet to use as office space. The Chu Mansion in the city of Guangzhou is under construction, and now Zhu Hongsan has money in his hands, and he can no longer treat himself badly. A large homestead was circled in the city, ready to be built.
Seeing Zhu Hong's three major construction projects, Feng Ruoshu and other stinky old nine who took the world as their own responsibility immediately sprayed, saying that the world was undecided and could not be built on a large scale, etc., Ma Ji also sent Zhu Hongsan a copy of the book in Leizhou, asking Zhu Hongsan not to do what he wanted, now it is different from before, he used to be an idle prince, and no one cares. But now that he is in charge of the country, he will be the emperor in the future, which will chill the hearts of the people in the world.
Zhu Hongsan watched the twists and turns of these upright gentlemen in the office, and angrily scolded these bastards. They have three wives and four concubines one by one, and there are tens of millions of mansions. Can't you build your own house? Plus they haven't spent their money yet.
After these scholars came to Guangdong, they became more and more shameless, Feng Ruoshu was almost seventy years old and bought two new partial houses, and Ma Mingyuan even found five or six little wives in one go. So Zhu Hongsan directly treated these dog-like doctors coldly, ignoring them, and loved how much he could. They don't have to pay for it anyway.
Zhu Hongsan directly appointed the great eunuch Cao Fang as the foreman, and immediately began the construction of the Chu Palace, Guangzhou. However, it has only been half a year since the start of construction, and it will take another year to complete the construction, and this year it will only be squeezed in the old place.
Zhu Hongsan came to the backyard and found Chen directly. Chen is now five months pregnant, and it is very dangerous for advanced mothers in this era, so Zhu Hongsan specially sent seven or eight little girls to serve her.
When Chen saw Zhu Hongsan enter the house, he quickly stood up and prepared to salute, but Zhu Hongsan hurriedly stopped him, after all, his son was his own.
"Chen, how's it going? Are you still vomiting these days? ”
"Lord Wang, these days have been much stronger, and I can eat some simple food every day."
Zhu Hongsan nodded and looked at Chen. This Chen has been moisturized by himself for half a year, and the scars on his face have faded a lot.
The Chen family didn't have Zhu Hongsan's cheekiness, and he couldn't help but blush a little when he saw King Chu looking at him. In fact, Chen is very satisfied with his current life, the days without men in the past were too difficult, and he was alone every day.
Chen asked in a low voice, "Lord Wang, what is the matter with coming to the slave family?" ”
Reminded by Chen, Zhu Hongsan thought about the reason why he came.
"Yes, your father is back. He is now the secretary of the Ministry of Rites on the Tang King's side, you go and see him. It's better to let him stay in Guangdong to help me, why help outsiders if he doesn't help his own people? ”
"My father is back?" Hearing that his father had returned, Chen was very scared. After all, he did something unseemly, and his father was a Taoist gentleman, so he didn't know how to scold him when he saw it!
"Don't be afraid, you are now the princess of Chu, he doesn't dare to scold you, at most he will show you face, you go to probe his tone first to see if there is a chance to stay, after all, your Chen family's roots are in Guangdong."
Chen nodded, "Okay, I'll listen to the prince's orders!" ”
Zhu Hongsan actually didn't have any feelings for the Chen family, and it was out of curiosity that he got started at that time, so he wanted to make a bad name for others. Seeing that the matter was over, Zhu Hongsan also got up and came out. I'm going to live with my eldest wife Ma Xiaofang tonight. Now Zhu Hongsan has a lot of wives, but half of them are pregnant, and two of them died of dystocia, so now Zhu Hongsan has to go to Ma Xiaofang or Ma Ruyan every day.
Thanks to the high maternal mortality rate in this era, Zhu Hongsan now only has ten wives still alive, and the other Bai and Zhang families have died in childbirth. However, there is also Zhu Hongsan's responsibility here, when these women had a difficult birth, Zhu Hongsan ordered to protect the child, so he died.
Zhu Hongsan thought very simply, women have it, but children are indeed their own blood and bones, so now Zhu Hongsan has a group of children under his knees.
When he came to Ma Xiaofang's room, Zhu Hongsan saw Ma Xiaofang's ruddy complexion, and it seemed that there was a happy event.
"Xiaofang, what's wrong? Happy event? ”
"Lord Wang, isn't the concubine feeling unwell these days, the doctor came to see it in the morning, and the concubine is happy again!"
Zhu Hongsan was also very happy to hear the news, but he was just happy. After all, there are a lot of children now, and hearing the news at this time is far less happy than Zhu Luo's then.
"Lord Wang, for the sake of the child in the womb, the concubine can't accompany you today, you go to the other sisters!"
Ma Xiaofang is out today, and she can let herself find other wives. Zhu Hongsan nodded again and again when he heard this, and quickly got up and went out.
Zhu Hongsan came out and thought about it and went to Bian Yujing, Zhu Hongsan wanted to see his daughter. After Bai's death in childbirth, she gave birth to a girl* baby who was raised in Bian Yujing.
came to Bian Yujing and talked to her, teased the child, and then stripped and rested.
The next morning, before dawn, Zhu Hongsan got up, and today he had to study things with the cabinet. Now Zhu Hongsan is also a prince, and he has to get up early every three days to go to the court, but now he has not been called the emperor, so he is not called the court, but instead of discussing politics.
I got up and freshened up, and it was getting dark. Zhu Hongsan came to the front yard office, and now the palace is tight, and there is really no place to line up the honor guard, so he can only hold a court meeting in a big room.
Today, because there is a big matter to discuss, all the civil officials above the fourth grade in Dongguan have come, and even the two county orders of Feng Ziyong in Guangzhou and Nanhai and Panyu have also arrived. There were more than 30 people in a room, and they were full.
After Zhu Hongsan and other ministers saluted, he said: "My lords, yesterday the Tang King of Fujian sent a messenger again to ask this king to revoke the title of superintendent, let's discuss it today!" ”
Tong Yangjia was the first to stand up and speak, he was a hardcore Chu king's faction, so could the king of Chu remove the title of prison country?
"His Royal Highness the Prison State, after the Jing Dynasty, King Yan was brutal and abnormal. First, Yingzong favored Wang Zhen, and then there was a change in Tumubao; Then Emperor Wuzong Zhengde was slack in political affairs, and the emperors of Jiajing and Wanli dynasties did not go to court for decades, which caused the Manchu Qing Dynasty outside the Guanxi to become bigger, and finally Emperor Chongzhen was mean and unkind, causing my Ming Dynasty to lose half of the country. Therefore, the minister thought that the line of King Yan could no longer be used as orthodoxy, and he should look for a virtuous monarch in other clans, and His Royal Highness the King of Chu started from the end of Weimo, and he could be of one heart and one mind with the people of the world, and he was kind-hearted, and he was the best candidate for the new monarch. Your Majesty, please Your Highness the Imperial Palace, who will be the emperor today! ”
After Tong Yangjia finished speaking, five or six people stood up behind him and said: "The ministers seconded the proposal, please ask Your Highness to take the throne of the emperor!" ”
The room where Tong Yangjia said this was quiet, and these ministers didn't know what Tong Yangjia meant by these words, except for a few irons from Zhu Hongsan. Lao Tong's remarks completely denied the legitimacy of the Ming Dynasty's 200-year rule, and directly pointed out that Zhu Dijing, the king of Yan, was a rebellion, which was really heinous in the hearts of the scholars who were deeply favored by the emperor. But now the situation is stronger than people, Tong Yangjia is the hardcore of the king of Chu, who knows if what he said is the meaning of the king of Chu, so it is better not to speak.
Originally, I just wanted to discuss how to deal with King Tang, but I didn't expect it to become a persuasion to ascend the throne. Zhu Hongsan smiled bitterly and was about to speak. On the side, Ma Mingyuan, the old opponent of Tong Yangjia, stood up and said: "Lord Tong, today is the prison country to convene everyone to discuss how to reply to King Tang, what are you doing with other things?" Your Highness wants to agree with what you say, and immediately become the target of public criticism, what kind of bad heart are you fighting? ”
"Master Ma, so you don't agree with His Royal Highness the Prison State, that is, the emperor's throne? Also, you Master Ma is a Jinshi of the Chongzhen Dynasty, of course you have to speak to Chongzhen. I heard that Tang Wang has arranged a position for you, I don't know if it's a university scholar? ”
"Tong Yangjia, you don't want to spew blood! This official has followed His Royal Highness since Huguang, but it is much earlier than you Tong Yangjia, and this crime cannot be placed on the head of this official! ”
Seeing that the two of them were about to fight again, Zhu Hongsan hurriedly said: "Don't talk about it, two adults, I convened everyone today to discuss how to reply to King Tang's question, and I'll talk about other things later!" ”
Seeing Zhu Hongsan come forward, the two stopped bickering.
At this time, Feng Ziyong stood up and said, "Your Highness, it is impossible to revoke the prison state. Not to mention anything else, now all the development of Guangdong is developed by the King of Chu alone, let us hand over the foundation to the King of Tang for no reason, I think all the adults present can't agree, right? ”
At this time, it is the time to express their political position, these ministers are not stupid, at this time, they dare to say that it is not right, and when they heard Feng Ziyong ask, they all said: "What Lord Feng said is so right!" ”
