Chapter 295: Rewarding Confidants with Passion
The emperor was young, so he said that he changed each Chang Dynasty to five and one dynasty, and the six departments of the Imperial Court said that one round was in front of the Wenhua Palace, and the three cabinets of the cabinet took turns to go to the Wenhua Hall to coordinate the affairs.
Such an earth-shattering news almost overshadowed the previous military defeat of the Xuanfu army, and caused countless waves in the capital for a while. Thinking of Yongren Xuan, the emperor often summoned cabinet ministers and ministers to discuss major matters, and thought that Emperor Yingzong often announced Li Xian to discuss government affairs after the restoration in the Tianshun period, and some people of insight burst into tears, and deeply felt that although Zhu Houzhao was confused in small matters, he was not sloppy in major matters. However, such as Liu Jian, the first assistant of the cabinet, and other old and serious old ministers, they thought that this matter would cause earth-shaking changes in the pattern of the court.
Although Emperor Chenghua said that he favored Wan Guifei to open the West Factory, wantonly sealed officials and made wishes to spread thousands of officials, and used Wan'an Liu Ji and other people who tended to be inflammatory, but the major affairs of the court gradually came to the hands of the cabinet and the ministers, and the emperor would not interfere easily. Now Zhu Houzhao summons many officials from Shangshu to the chief minister every day, and it goes without saying that the decree is smooth, but the lower-level officials have more hope to meet Tianyan, who can guarantee what those low-grade Beijing officials who hope to enter the rank will say? Moreover, if the Son of Heaven is tough in everything, and those people are in tune with it, it will be even more difficult for them to do things!
However, Zhu Houzhao will not think about what kind of dilemma those bigwigs will be in after pinching their noses and passing the reform of the court. The first thing he did after he ascended the throne was finally done, and he was naturally overjoyed. Therefore, he drank two cups alone that night, and when he was slightly drunk, he felt bored, dropped the wine glass and staggered two steps, he suddenly looked at a waiter on the side and asked, "I remember, Xu Xun is leaving early tomorrow morning?" ”
"Back to the emperor, exactly. The war situation in Xuanfu is changing rapidly, and Baoguo Gong has already written to urge him again. ”
"Urge, urge, he knows that urge, there are so many people in the Xuanfu, and he has brought so many generals to him, and he is embarrassed to reach out to the people around me!" Zhu Houzhao pursed his lips angrily, suddenly felt hot and dry, unbuttoned his collar casually, and took off his robe and threw it on the ground, then said, "And that Han Wen, I know that I want money." I ascended the throne to reward my ministers, and this money was obtained by them, and not by me, and he came to cry poor; The first emperor's mountain mausoleum was to be built, which is a rule that must be had in any dynasty and generation, and he also cried poor; And I want to get married, this is the emperor's deathbed order, he still comes to cry poor! Poor and poor, he just can't see me paying out of his own pocket to build a palace in Xiyuan, so everything has to be pushed on my head? ”
The little emperor suddenly had a seizure, one martial and one civil, two top ministers, and several chamberlains looked at each other for a while, and no one dared to make a sound. Zhu Houzhao was promoted from the crown prince to the emperor, and the servants in the East Palace rose one by one, and now most of them have become eunuchs in charge of the 24 yamen, and the work of personal service is gradually led by the younger generation. But they didn't have the affection for the little companionship, and they still can't figure out the temper of the little emperor, who dares to rashly persuade what?
Zhu Houzhao scolded and lost his temper for a while, and when he saw that no one accosted him, he gradually felt bored, and scolded angrily at the moment: "All of them are like wooden people, what's the use of raising you!" ”
"If the emperor thinks that a few of them won't be able to serve, the slaves and maids will change a few people when they turn around!"
As soon as the words fell, he only heard a voice from behind him, and when he turned his head and saw that it was Liu Jin, he ignored the silent servants, and stretched out his hand angrily and said: "Where did you die, leaving only these wooden people to pestle in front of me, and it was impossible to find someone to talk to!" ”
"Didn't the slave think that the weather was hot now, so she went to the imperial dining room and ordered to make some ice cheese?" Liu Jin smiled and took a silver bowl from the hand of the little firefighter next to him, carefully placed it in front of Zhu Houzhao, and when he saw the little emperor pick up the silver spoon, he dug up a big spoon and put it in his mouth, and immediately showed a very happy face, he immediately said with a smile on his face, "Does the emperor feel better?" ”
"Mm-hmm, you still know my mind!" Zhu Houzhao only felt a piece of coldness slipping from his throat into his stomach, and breathed a long sigh of relief with satisfaction for a while, and after complimenting him, he buried his head in several spoonfuls without raising his head, and finally put down the silver spoon and said, "Liu Jin, you go and inquire about what time Xu Xun will leave tomorrow, and I will go to see him off!" ”
"Huh?" If it were someone else, he would have tried hard to persuade him when he heard this, but Liu Jin was stunned for a moment and immediately laughed, "The emperor really believes in Lord Xu." However, the slave maid wants to ask the emperor to show it, is it a micro-service, or is it a luan? ”
Seeing that Zhu Houzhao hesitated when he heard this, Liu Jin struck while the iron was hot and said: "Weifu goes, the emperor only needs to take the name of the prince of the Shouning Marquis Mansion or the Jianchang Marquis Mansion, and if it is a luan drive, the slave and maid will have to inform the Luan Yi Bureau Shangyi Supervisor Governor, and then I have to go to the cabinet and the six departments to say hello, and let the Shuntian Mansion and the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses prepare to clean the street......"
"Alright, alright!" As soon as Zhu Houzhao heard that it was so troublesome, he immediately shook his head into a rattle, "I don't want to drive Luan, just send him off in such a small service, don't have too many people, you can call Shanggu Da to use Ma Yongcheng's few, and keep Gao Companion to sit in the palace, so as not to make noise again when the celebrant is fine, especially Wang Yue!" ”
With the emperor's words, Liu Jin naturally made an intensive arrangement next. Fortunately, it has not yet reached the west corner gate on the second day of June, and the Wenhua Palace's summoning of cabinet ministers and ministers also began on the second day of June. And Empress Zhang has always been used to Zhu Houzhao, and when she heard that her son was going to send Xu Xun off that night, although she felt that it was not in order, she just pointed at his head and said a few words.
"Now that you are the emperor, you have to learn from your father, don't be the same as before. Xu Xun is of course thinking about everything for your sake, but you can't be without the majesty of an emperor. It's like going to send him tomorrow, what do you want to say? ”
Empress Dowager Zhang just asked, and did not mention what Zhu Houzhao should say, so early in the morning, Zhu Houzhao went out of Fuchengmen, and his head was still entangled in what he should say. Fengguan made a wish, he made a wish to Xu Xun Fengguan not once or twice, the other party was a strong resignation and humility, obviously not enthusiastic; Reward gold and silver, Xu Xun is still planning to generate income for him, and his reward for that money is a joke; And to say that a few beautiful palace maids are rewarded...... He was also afraid that his sister Shen would be angry and give him a few punches!
So, when Xu Xun hurried over to salute deeply when he heard the news on the official road, he helped Xu Xun up with one hand, and after thinking about it, he said solemnly: "Xu Xun, this time you go to Xuanfu, not only about your own name, but also about the name of me and the first emperor." If you want someone or something, you can play it directly to me, and I will satisfy you no matter what method I use. When you return triumphantly, I will not only give you a celebration, but also a marriage will definitely be indispensable to you! ”
Zhu Houzhao didn't care about the shocked expressions of the few eunuchs around him, and said with his hands behind his back: "I told you in the past that one day I want to go to see the great rivers and mountains of the Ming Dynasty, but now I don't have this opportunity, but you have already found a good opportunity, so don't live up to this God-given opportunity, and teach those Tartars who watch the rivers and mountains of the Ming Dynasty a good lesson!" You used to know how to do anything, and I believe you can do it this time! ”
The little emperor's words could not talk about much imperial tricks, nor how impassioned they were, but Xu Xun felt moved in his heart. The previous irritability was not sure that he was thrown away at this time, and he bowed to the ground almost without thinking: "The emperor can rest assured, the minister will do his best to live up to the emperor's expectations!" ”
"I knew you wouldn't let me down!"
was aroused by this sonorous and powerful sentence, Zhu Houzhao reached out and patted Xu Xun on the shoulder for a while, and saw that there were many soldiers over there looking here, so he looked at Zhang Yong again: "Zhang Yong, you go out this time, be sure to work together with Xu Xun, although the report should be reported, don't hide it, remember that everything has me!" As long as it's right, no matter what the big thing is, I will let you call the shots, and I won't believe that the three of you will become a tiger! ”
Zhang Yong has served Zhu Houzhao for so many years, and he knows the surname of the little emperor very well, so when he heard this last promise, he only felt that he had put down the biggest stone in his heart, and after bowing down to promise, he glanced at Liu Jin and the others, and lowered his head again: "Your Majesty, I don't know how long it will take for the slave to come back, and please cherish the emperor for yourself." This matter of serving the emperor, the slaves and maids can only be handed over to Lao Liu, Lao Gu, Lao Ma and a few of them......"
"you, you're not here, will we be hungry and freezing the emperor?" Liu Jin knew that Zhu Houzhao was never informal, and the surname Suo laughed and scolded in front of the little emperor, seeing that Zhu Houzhao not only did not think he was angry, but smiled, he held his head high and said, "We will not only serve the emperor well, but also never let the emperor be angry with those bosses!" ”
"I have you people, why worry about big things!" Zhu Houzhao was overjoyed when he heard this, and he was in high spirits for a while, "Today I will personally send you off, and when you return after you have finished your work, I will personally pick you up!" ”
"The emperor cherishes it!"
Xu Xun glanced at Liu Jin slantedly, and when he saw that he made a reassuring gesture to himself, he saluted Zhu Houzhao deeply again, and when he saw the little emperor nodding with satisfaction, he turned around and got on the horse. After waiting for the rear, Zhang Yong gradually caught up and drove forward, after all, he couldn't help but glance back again in the middle of the road, but found that Zhu Houzhao was still there and waved his hand at him lightly.
At that moment, he deeply felt that although he had only been in the Ming Dynasty for a short time, this year or so was far more wonderful than in the previous decades. A pair of cold eyes look at the world, full of enthusiasm to reward confidants, even if he can't help himself to go to Xuanfu, he must make some achievements to show those old adults!
