That night, Emperor Hongzhi, who had retreated left and right, hugged Zhu Houzhao and nagged until very late. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

nagged until Zhu Houzhao fell asleep in this rare father-son affection.

The next day, as usual, the Hongzhi Emperor of the Early Dynasty, who was still raining and raining, looked older and older. Although the sun was so blazing that morning, the old emperor's body was still trembling slightly. This is a gentle man who is about to die young.

After arguing for three days in a row, Wang Shouren, who had attracted much attention, did not stand up from a corner for everyone to end this absurd farce, at least in Zhu Houzhao's opinion, it was a farce.

If it was in the Jiajing Dynasty, such a broken matter might drag on for three months, and in the Wanli Dynasty, it might drag on for three years, but in the Hongzhi Dynasty, three days was enough time.

When children fight, their own parents take care of it. But Emperor Hongzhi's family has too much to do with it, saying that he is a parent, but he is the father of the world.

So it's time for someone to come out and top the tank.

Li Dongyang was the first to go out to play the right class, he was the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and foreign countries came to the court within the scope of his jurisdiction.

"Your Majesty, three months ago, Beiyuan handed over a tribute table and asked to see Your Majesty. Counting the days, the envoy of the Northern Yuan is about to arrive in Beijing. Therefore, the minister wanted to seek His Majesty's will on how to receive the envoys of the Northern Yuan. ”

Emperor Hongzhi rubbed the corners of his forehead, and the burden of sleepless nights on him was quite large: "Li Qing, didn't this matter have been discussed three months ago, what should be done, your Ministry of Rites will come up with the regulations." ”

"Your Majesty, three months ago there was indeed a charter, this time the Northern Yuan Dynasty will be met by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince on behalf of His Majesty to meet the Northern Yuan Mission, and now His Royal Highness is imprisoned in the prison, and the original draft charter may not be used anymore, so the minister is here to ask for an order." Li Dongyang said unhurriedly.

"Then the Ministry of Rites will reconsider and come up with a new charter as soon as possible!" Emperor Hongzhi waved his hand and said, "Although the Northern Yuan Dynasty has committed many offenses in recent years, it is no longer as rampant as when Emperor Yingzong was in the past, so don't care." ”

"The minister understands, it's just that the time for the Northern Yuan delegation to arrive in Beijing is running out, the Ministry of Rites has been preparing for three months, and the silver has also been allocated to the East Palace more than 100,000 taels, and at this time, all of them will be overturned and restarted, I am afraid that it will ......."

"Can't do it, can you?" Emperor Hongzhi sat up straight and asked.

"It is indeed difficult to complete the project on schedule, originally the Ministry of Rites was arranged with the ceremonial arrangement of the prince to receive the envoys, if you want to change, otherwise it will be a big move, and the previous silver will be spent in vain."

Emperor Hongzhi closed his eyes and thought about it, and slowly said to Shoufu Liu Jian: "What does Liu Qing think?" ”

Liu Jianjian, the first assistant of the cabinet, had to speak at this time, but taking into account the discord with the officials a few days ago, he just said: "It is a major matter for a foreign country to come to envoys, and it has always been equal to the use of soldiers, but it has always been taboo to change generals when using soldiers. But the major affairs of the state have always been decided by His Majesty alone. ”

Liu Jian will not say anything more when he says this, because the words have been made very clear, whoever opposes it is a sinner who disturbs the major affairs of the country.

The prince of the country priest came out of the class and said: "The old minister thinks it is inappropriate, the prince is a body to be sinful, how can such a great gift of the country be presided over by the person who is guilty?" The minister thought it was absolutely inappropriate. ”

Before Liu Jian could speak, Xie Qian, the most capable man in the cabinet, rolled up his sleeves and went into battle, the old man shook his beard, and said to the prince who had always held the prince in the sacrificial wine: "Lord Sacrificial Wine, may I ask what crime the prince has committed, how did he become a guilty body?" ”

"Hmph, the crime committed by the crown prince has been discussed here three days ago, and His Majesty has ordered the prince to be imprisoned in heaven!" The wine of the priest of the country is stern and chiseled.

"Your Majesty just said that he had put the prince in the prison that day, and he would talk about it later, how could he have said that he was guilty?" Xie Qian smiled. Yesterday, Emperor Hongzhi entered the prison, and others didn't know it, but several of their cabinet ministers knew, and they couldn't understand the emperor's intentions.

Before the prince of the country could speak, Xie Qian was already pressing step by step, and continued: "Besides, the prince is the capital of the country after all, and he is young, and it is normal for people to make some mistakes. If it is said that if there is a mistake, you cannot do the responsibility of the prince, then Your Majesty has also issued an edict of guilt due to drought and disasters, is it not suitable to continue to govern the unification according to the adult's statement? ”

These words are extremely heart-wrenching. That is, in the Hongzhi Dynasty, Xie Qian dared to use the emperor as a shield like this, if he changed the emperor, he would be dismissed and exiled at the very least, and if he was unlucky enough to meet Zhu Yuanzhang, he might be clicked immediately.

When the priest of the country heard this, he immediately knelt down and kowtowed: "The minister didn't mean that, it definitely didn't mean that." ”

Emperor Hongzhi waved his hand and said, "Let's sacrifice wine, I also know that you are dedicated to the country, and I will not blame you." ”

The country's priest was defeated, but there were still people who did not give up. These people who are the imperial historians have to say two sentences when they have nothing to do, let alone such a big thing.

Liu Jing, the word Weixin, is a native of Fuzhou. Hongzhi 12th year jinshi. Grant the household department to the matter. He has always been upright, only distinguishing between black and white right and wrong, and never looking at the object. At the beginning of the day, when the brawl in front of the East Palace was discussed, he actively spoke, and at this time, when he saw that the priest of the country was defeated, he immediately set up a position.

"When the minister hears that the son does not teach, the father is guilty. The teaching is not strict, but the teacher is lazy. His Majesty has every opportunity, and the things that teach the prince have always been done by the people of the Zhan Shifu, so the minister thinks that although the prince is at fault in this matter, the fault is not the prince, and it is actually the fault of the officials who taught the prince and should be punished. "Liu Jing is upright, but not stupid.

Everyone knows that Liu Jian is a scholar of Wenhua Palace and a young master of the prince, and the responsibility of teaching the prince is just on him, and he knocked over Liu Jian with a stick, and by the way, he also hit Zhu Houzhao.

The emperor is not wrong, and the only one who is wrong can be the master. It can't be said that it is not ruthless, not allowed.

Liu Jian was indeed negligent in disciplining Zhu Houzhao.

First, there are too many government affairs, and they are piled up, and he is only a nominal master, but it is other people such as Yang Tinghe and other lower-level officials who really teach him.

Second, he really didn't want to meet Zhu Houzhao, because Liu Jin's eunuch was Zhu Houzhao's personal entourage, and the inseparable Liu Jian remembered the matter of recognizing his relatives when he saw it, and he felt sick in his heart.

But as soon as the general account of the prince who is not well taught is calculated, it will definitely fall on his head Liu Jian, and he can't run away, unless someone comes to take the blame.

Li Dongyang had a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Just when Liu Jian had nothing to say, a shout suddenly came from outside the hall, and a petty official dressed in a cyan official uniform and embroidered with a yellow oriole patch on his chest bowed outside the hall: "Minister, Zuo Chunfang of the King James Mansion and Yang Tinghe came to ask for guilt!" ”

This series of official names can be described as extremely beautiful, especially with the addition of the word King James is the finishing touch.

Although Zuo Chunfang's left concubine is not big, he is an important figure who teaches the prince to read on a daily basis, and after adding the word King James to the prince's reading, he is promoted to be fully responsible for the prince's reading. Yang Tinghe took all the blame on himself in one sentence.

As soon as Emperor Hongzhi heard that Yang Tinghe was pleading outside the palace, he immediately summoned him in, and when he opened his mouth, he was furious: "Yang Tinghe, you are a good student!" I believe that you have put the prince in your hands, and now I have done such a terrible wrongdoing, what do you say? ”

Yang Tinghe just knelt on the ground, buried his head in silence, and waited for the wind and rain to pass, before he raised his head and asked for guilt: "The prince made a mistake, and it should be punished by me, as a master, and it has nothing to do with the prince. ”

Emperor Hongji waved his hand and gave him a chance to speak. For a while, the entire Qianqing Palace hall could be heard, Liu Jian and others were listening to how he admitted his mistakes, but Saijiu, Liu Jing and others were planning to find flaws in his words to refute them, and the two parties had different thoughts.

Yang Tinghe took off his official hat and put it in front of him, and then said calmly: "The prince is young, and he should have been carefully persuaded by the minister, but the minister couldn't persuade him for such a thing. The young man is full of anger, especially when he touches a woman, even eight cows can't pull it, let alone an elderly scholar like Chen, who is powerless. ”

"The quarrel between the crown prince and Wang Shouren in front of the national prison that day really has its own reasons, and the praise you gave to the prince is also reasonable, Your Majesty. And the subsequent brawl in front of the East Palace did not have anything to do with the previous dispute. ”

In everyone's opinion, the Guozijian dispute and the Donggong brawl are one thing, but today Yang Tinghe told everyone that these are completely two things.

"Yang Tinghe, you don't want to talk about it!" At that moment, the sacrificial wine stood up again and interrupted Yang Tinghe's words: "Anyone with a discerning eye can see that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was humiliated in front and took revenge in the back, how did it become two things in your mouth?" You are completely quibbling, confusing! ”

"Please finish your words." Yang Tinghe said unhurriedly.

"Your Majesty, this Yang Tinghe is full of lies if he wants to escape the guilt, please ask the emperor to treat him for the crime of bullying the king!"

"Lord Sacrificial Wine, why are you still so short-tempered?" Yang Tinghe didn't open his mouth to refute, but opened his mouth with Xie Qian's little secret.

"I ask you, Lord Wine, why do you always speculate on the prince with the worst malice? You must know that the prince is just a ten-year-old child, if it was revenge, it would have been reported to the world a long time ago, why would he be deep enough to take revenge many days later? It's ridiculous! Your Majesty, the minister thought that there was indeed something else hidden in it. ”

Emperor Hongzhi was troubled by the quarrel of this group of people, and motioned for Yang Tinghe to continue.

Yang Tinghe got the will and the natural history told the later things one by one, how Wang Shouren loved Yu Mingxiao and was afraid of the walls in the mansion, how he didn't leave in the East Palace, etc., only stunned the ministers in the palace.

After three seconds of silence, a burst of laughter erupted from above the hall.

The sacrificial wine pointed at Yang Tinghe's nose and scolded: "Yang Tinghe, do you really think that the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty are all three-year-olds, do you listen to your nonsense here?" ”

He turned to Emperor Hongzhi and said, "Your Majesty, there is something that you have probably heard that when Wang Shouren was seventeen years old, his father Lord Wang once told him a family matter.

As a result, on the day of the wedding, this Wang Shouren was missing, and the two families searched the world for two days before they found Wang Shouren who was discussing scriptures and Zen with senior monks in a Zen temple in the mountains.

The minister heard that although the woman was not stunning, she was also gorgeous, which showed that Wang Shouren was not a lustful person. Yang Tinghe deceived us and others, I don't know what his intentions are! ”
