Chapter 204: Natural Disasters and Man-made Disasters
He only gained Zhu Houxi's trust, but the worry on his face just now will make Zhu Houyu suspect that he is thinking about the way back! Zhu Houxi must not be allowed to have such doubts, in that case, his previous achievements will be wasted.
He said: "Back to the saint, the minister was just thinking that Wang Shangshu was sentenced to the border, maybe it is a good look. ”
Zhu Houxi pursed his lips and said nothing, signaling to continue.
Guo Xun said: "Wang Shouren has not been reused, until he met Wang Qiong, he was promoted, and only then did he have great achievements in the future." For Wang Shouren, Wang Qiong is not only a bole with the grace of knowing him, but also a best friend. Wang Shouren is also a genius from heaven, who has created Xinxue with his own strength, and has many disciples, many of whom are also in high positions in the local area.
The core of his mind is to conscience, and he knows with his conscience that it is wrong for Yang Tinghe not to let the saint crown his father as emperor, and his disciples must think the same way. Yang Ting and a group of Bolejia friends who forced Wang Shouren to be convicted, Wang Shouren must be furious when he found out, and will order his disciples to attack Yang Tinghe. Wang Shouren is outside, we are inside, and when the time comes, we will be able to take down Yang Ting and his gang in one fell swoop. ”
Zhu Houxi pondered for a moment and said, "It's not time yet!" He also felt that Guo Xun was reasonable, but the time was not yet ripe. Not to mention whether Wang Shouren's disciples are strong enough, even if they are strong enough and external enough, the key is that he can't respond. The huge capital will obey him, and he can count it on ten fingers. With such power, how can Yang Tinghe be defeated. Even if Yang Ting and the gang were all brought down, where would he find so many officials to fill in for a while, then the entire court would not be paralyzed, and he would become a bare-bones emperor.
Guo Xun said: "Then when is the time!" Now that the court is in chaos, only a quick knife can cut through the chaos, but the saint doesn't want to get rid of Yang Tinghe. ”
Zhu Houxi said: "I don't want to get rid of him? I want to get rid of him more than anyone else, but now is not the time, and the court can't do without him now. With that, he pointed to the large stack of folds in front of him, and said, "Do you know what is going on here?" ”
Guo Xun didn't have a long-term perspective eye, how could he know what was written in the pile of hundreds of letters? He raised his eyes to look at Xu Guangzuo, wanting to get a hint. But I saw Xu Guangzuo looking confused, and I didn't know what was written inside?
Zhu Houxi said: "These twists and turns are all for Yang Tinghe to ask for credit, saying that he killed Jiang Bin and helped me to become the emperor, whether it is to the Ming Dynasty or to me, I will reward him." After that, he pointed to a stack of higher folds next to him and said, "Do you know what's going on here?" ”
Guo Xun no longer looked at Xu Guangzuo, and replied directly: "I don't know! ”
Zhu Houxi said: "This is the governor and political envoy of the thirteen political envoys in the capital, who sang praises to Yang Tinghe. It is said that he dismissed more than 100,000 workers from the flag school, deposed the eunuch Gu Dayong and others, and reformed more than 148,000 people from the flag school, craftsmen, and sergeants, and eliminated the shortcomings of the martial arts sect. ”
When Guo Xun heard this, he also understood why Zhu Houxi said that it was not the time to cut off Yang Tinghe. Although Yang Tinghe did too much in not letting Zhu Houxi ask his father to call him father, it is undeniable that Yang Tinghe is a person who does things, and if he changes people, can he get rid of the malpractices left by Wuzong?
It was not easy for people to go through the door and find an errand in the capital. It's not been two years since you did it, and you just told people to roll up and get out, and there are two or three hundred thousand people in one roll, and there are really not many people who have the courage to do such things that offend people. It is no wonder that as soon as he returned home, he listened to his family that Zhu Houxi specially sent more than 100 soldiers to protect Yang Tinghe's safety.
At that time, he was still bored, Zhu Houxi hated Yang Tinghe to death in order to seize power, how could he send a sergeant to protect Yang Tinghe. What did Yang Tinghe do again, he needs to be protected. I see!
Those who have lost their livelihood, how can they not hate Yang Tinghe, they wish to eat his flesh and sleep on his skin, without the protection of the sergeant, they will die in less than two days.
Therefore, he also admires Zhu Houxi very much, even if he hates Yang Ting and hates him to death, he can also distinguish between public and private, one yard to one yard. What Yang Tinghe did was good for Daming, and for Zhu Houxi, he could send soldiers to protect him, and he would not look at jokes for personal grudges, which chilled the hearts of the world's scholars.
But then again, Zhu Houxi also had to do this, the ministers' recitals were piled up, if he didn't do this, how would the ministers think of him.
It can be seen that when Yang Tinghe is defeated in the future, what should Zhu Houxi do if he will not take Yang Tinghe? said a thousand ways and ten thousand, Yang Tinghe is a person who is kind to Zhu Houxi, without Yang Tinghe, Zhu Houyu would not be the emperor. Zhu Houxi would never do anything to make people say that he was ungrateful. This is also the reason why if he changed the emperor, he would have been angry enough to seize power with swords, but Zhu Houxi was reluctant to raise swords, so he had to use great etiquette to fight for reason.
Zhu Houxi pointed to the third stack of music folds at this time, and sneered: "Do you know what is playing here?" The general army of Gansu was at odds with the governor, and the Five Guards were in chaos, with thousands of dead and wounded. The people of Alta entered Koguyuan and other places, burned, killed and looted, killed and injured more than 10,000 soldiers and civilians, cattle and sheep were not counted, and countless houses were destroyed. Changzhou Mansion is stormy, the tide is like the sea, if it is three days, tens of thousands of people die, and the hungry cannibalism. Thousands of miles of tsunami in western Zhejiang, not a single intact house can be found, and the dead are not counted. ”
He paused, and then said: "The strong wind in Wujiang blows the water of Taihu Lake, and the houses are all over within thirty miles, and the dead are not counted. Chongming hurricane, flat ground waves, dead people are not counted. The sea breeze in Songjiang Mansion is great, the water depth of the flat land is more than two zhang, the river and the sea are mixed into one color, and the dead are not counted. The piles and piles are all disasters that have not been seen in a century.
"Also, the miners in Qingzhou rebelled, and the dead were not counted. In several places in Henan and Shaanxi, there are Diao people who rebel under the pretense of the White Lotus Sect. Hehe, I'm not the emperor, nothing happens. As soon as I became the emperor, natural disasters and man-made disasters followed, what do you mean! ”
Guo Xun and Xu Guangzuo lowered their heads at the same time, and they didn't dare to take a breath. What does that mean? What else could this mean? Obviously, this is Yang Ting and his gang warning Zhu Houxi, about the matter of appointing his father as the emperor, it is not in line with heaven and people, God is already angry, you better stop.
It's no wonder that when the two of them came in, Zhu Houxi frowned so tightly.
Zhu Houxi said again: "Someone said that all this was caused by Zhang Xuan's demonic words to confuse the public, and asked me to put him to death." ”
Guo Xun knew that Zhu Houxi would never kill Zhang Xuan, after all, Zhang Xuan studied etiquette very thoroughly, and was the key person in whether he could defeat Yang Ting and his gang in this great etiquette discussion. Without Zhang Xuan, Zhu Houxi will undoubtedly lose in the contest of the Great Rites Conference, and the seizure of power will be in vain.
He asked, "What is the Holy Lord going to do with Zhang Xuan?" ”
Zhu Houxuan said: "Fortunately, Zhang Xuan is just a new science and technology scholar, he is too humble, and Yang Ting and the gang did not take him seriously." Yesterday, I made a deal with Yang Tinghe, leaving Zhang Xuan with a small life and going to Nanjing to do an errand, lest he hinder Yang Tinghe's eyes in the capital. As for Yang Tinghe, he reluctantly agreed to make his father emperor. So let's leave it at that. ”
Guo Xun knew that although the emperor and the emperor were only one word apart, the treatment was 108,000 miles apart. At the very least, the emperor can enjoy the Taimiao, but the emperor cannot enjoy the Taimiao. But he is also a big official, knowing that neither side can take anyone for the time being, so he has to stop fighting so that he can reserve his strength for another battle in the future.
Xu Guangzuo also saw the current situation clearly, and said: "There is no need to inform Wang Shouren, let him be patient for the time being, don't be in a hurry to ruin the great affairs of the saint." ”
