Chapter 471: The unwilling Zhu Youxiang
(Thank you for the big confusion, yzh187 for voting for the valuable monthly ticket, thank you jesonshers, john01b for the tip, thank you.) )
When Wang Dazhi reported that Zhu Youxiang came to visit, Su Tiancheng was very surprised.
Zhu Youxiang is the son of King Fu, his status is noble, and he also has a lot of taboos, under normal circumstances, he will not go out easily, and he will not take the initiative to visit the court officials, this is a trouble-seeking thing, so long time has passed, Su Tiancheng also has a little understanding of Zhu Youxiang, speaking of which Zhu Youxiang is still a good person, he knows how to handle all aspects of the relationship well, and he is not very public, and he always pays attention to his words and deeds, which is no wonder that after Zhu Youxiang committed suicide, Zhu Youxiang was elected as the emperor of the Southern Ming Dynasty.
How could such a powerful prince of Fu Wang visit the court officials easily, and he is not afraid of the impeachment of the officials.
After thinking for a while, Su Tiancheng came to the wing room, where he met Zhu Youxiang, and it would be easy to explain in the future that the wing room is a place for office and reception, and it is also a place for government officials to deal with private affairs.
Zhu Youxiang was already waiting in the wing.
"Xiaguan has seen the little prince."
"Lord Su is polite, I came to visit Lord Su today, I have something to say, these words may be a little out of place, I don't know if Lord Su is willing to give me a chance."
Su Tiancheng paused for a moment, he didn't expect Zhu Youxiang to say such words, the last time because of Zhu Youxiang's matter, he reported to the emperor and was severely reprimanded, and then he paid attention to it, after all, the royal affairs are not so simple. He was originally a relative of the emperor, and his wife Zhu Xianxin was the younger sister of Zhu Xianxuan, the king of Jin, and she was also the county lord of the Ming Dynasty.
Seeing that Su Tiancheng didn't speak immediately. Zhu Youxiang smiled and spoke.
"Lord Su led the Jiangning camp and dominated the territory, I admire it very much, during this time, I have always wanted to visit, but there are many restrictions, so I always hesitate, I figured it out today, and mustered up the courage to meet Lord Su. If Master Su finds it inconvenient, I will leave. ”
A smile also appeared on Su Tiancheng's face, Zhu Youxiang's agitation method would not have much effect on him, if Zhu Youxiang turned around and left, Su Tiancheng would not have any psychological baggage, he could act as if this incident did not happen, but he couldn't do it. The development of Henan Province is inseparable from Zhu Youxiang's support. For more than a year, King Fu did take the lead and supported any decision made by the government, which is different from the historical description.
But King Fu must have made these contributions, and there must be conditions. If you can't get anything, maybe in a short period of time, you will change your mind, and Henan will face many difficulties, and there are no solutions. But there's no need to do that, it's best if everyone is kind.
Besides, Su Tiancheng has always believed that the Ming Dynasty imprisoned the vassal king so much, this kind of policy is indeed inappropriate, there is a close relationship between people, with the people around him, with people who have a certain blood relationship with themselves, they have such a habit since ancient times, so that they can also ensure the implementation of the policy very well, as long as the emperor has enough ability to control the vassal king and dispel the vassal king's ambition to rebel.
"Where does the little prince say, the lower official is just afraid of affecting the little prince, if the little prince has nothing to fear, what else is there to be afraid of, what is there to be afraid of the little prince, what does the little prince say, just say it."
After saying this, Su Tiancheng stood up, took Zhu Youxiang, and went straight to the secret room.
Just entered the secret room, Zhu Youxiang's expression became much more serious, and he bowed deeply to Su Tiancheng.
Su Tiancheng was a little strange, and opened his mouth to Zhu Youxiang with his fists.
"Why did the little prince make such a big gift, the lower officials didn't dare to be it."
"Lord Su's heart, I understand it, last time Lord Su was reprimanded by the emperor for my business, this is all mine, and please don't remember it in my heart."
"The little prince is very well-informed, and the lower officials have long forgotten about this matter."
"Lord Su is worthy of being a husband, I am reluctant to say it when I am reprimanded like this, for a while, I still complained a little about Lord Su, after learning the truth, I was very ashamed, my father repeatedly urged me, made a special trip to visit Lord Su, and apologized."
"Little Wang Ye is serious, this is not a matter, the lower official has not been able to complete the task, there is nothing to say."
"Cast it with a peach, repay it with a li, I came to visit Master Su today, I have something to say in my heart, whether these words are right or wrong, they are all from my heart."
"Little prince, please speak, the lower officials will listen to you."
"This first thing is the relationship between Lord Su and the royal family, Lord Su's wife is the county lord of my Daming, in fact, it is the county lord, the identity is not ordinary, when Zhu Xianxin was demoted to the county lord, I used to feel strange, until Lord Su married Zhu Xianxin, I didn't understand the truth, if the emperor did not have such a mind, Zhu Xianxin would not be able to go to Lord Su's side, the ancestral system can not be easily violated, even if it is the emperor, on the surface, Zhu Xianxin was wronged, but in fact, it is not."
"Lord Su married the county lord, and his identity is naturally different."
"The second matter is related to the Jiang Ning camp. The courage of the Jiangning battalion, needless to say, such a brave and warlike army has always been directly controlled by the Su people, and has established many great achievements, which has shown that the Jiangning camp is inseparable from the Su people, and only under the leadership of the Su people, the Jiangning camp can play a huge role. ”
"The third thing involves Lord Su himself, since he has established so many merits, it is natural to be promoted, but Lord Su is very young, he is in a high position at a young age, the so-called high place is not cold, Lord Su is the eye of the palace test, and he takes the initiative to choose to go out, there are many purposes, I am afraid that revitalizing the place and establishing a strong army is one of the main purposes, Lord Su has long had a different view from the general one, and can deal with many things, so I don't need to talk too much."
The smile on Su Tiancheng's face slowly disappeared.
Zhu Youxiang is very good at talking, it seems that he didn't say anything, but in fact, he said everything, and also pointed out the troubles and dangers that may arise in the future.
"The words of the little prince are like thunder, the lower officials have been taught, I don't know what specific suggestions the prince and the little prince have, if they can say it, the lower officials are grateful."
Zhu Youxiang stood up.
"Lord Su is polite, I'm purely a class axe, in fact, Lord Su has already thought of a lot of things."
"The little prince doesn't have to say this, there must be my teacher in the threesome, if the prince and the little prince have any good plans, I hope to tell the lower officials bluntly."
Zhu Youxiang nodded slightly.
"Say a thousand things and ten thousand, the most important thing is to be strong, just like saying that the Jiangning battalion, whether it is to exterminate the Liukou or fight against the Tartars, the Jiangning battalion can achieve a huge victory, in this case, no matter who it is, no matter what he has in mind, he must also look at the performance of the Jiangning battalion and weigh the strength of the Jiangning battalion, under normal circumstances, there is no dare to openly do things that are unfavorable to the Jiangning battalion."
Su Tiancheng nodded slightly, this is the truth, there is no doubt.
"Master Su is young, since the palace test, but in five years, he is the prefect of the fourth grade, and he is still the commander of the Jiangning battalion, which is rare in the history of my Ming Dynasty. Mu Xiu is in the forest, the wind will destroy it, nature is like this, not to mention in the court, Lord Su's performance like this will naturally threaten the status of some people, who knows what they think, who knows if they will make some dirty moves behind their backs. ”
"I don't know what Lord Su has to rely on in the court, and it's impossible to think that there is no support, but I think it's all the effect of external forces, and if Lord Su can strengthen himself, it is the best choice."
Su Tiancheng's face changed slightly, these words, if they came out of the mouths of Zhu Xianxuan, Dong Chang or Qu Qingze, there was nothing unusual, but when they came out of Zhu Youxiang's mouth, it sounded a little awkward, no matter what, Su Tiancheng still had to have at least a sense of vigilance, Zhu Youxiang was the prince of King Fu after all, if he was stabbed in the back, who knew what to do.
Zhu Youxiang didn't care about Su Tiancheng's face and continued.
"Master Su, don't misunderstand what I mean, what I said just now, in the eyes of Lord Su, is quite a bit of a rebellion, in fact, my original intention is to ask Lord Su to recommend talents, so many years, the party struggle within the court is getting more and more powerful, and what is always not forbidden, it is all for the sake of their own position to be stable, once they form a group, the formation of a force, others dare not underestimate, even if they do it behind their backs, they must also take into account the huge amount of power."
Su Tiancheng already understood what Zhu Youxiang meant.
"The lower officials thank the little prince for reminding him, the emperor hates this party dispute, and the lower officials can't get used to it, as for the matter of recommending talents, the lower officials have a humble status, and they don't have so much ability for the time being."
Zhu Youxiang and Ha Da Lu laughed.
"Lord Su can't believe me, it's normal, I also expected it, but what I said today is true, not perfunctory Lord Su, the importance of this, please weigh it, I always feel that many things, if you can't change it for the time being, just take advantage of it, it's not a big deal."
Zhu Youxiang said that it is not easy to get to this point.
Su Tiancheng also stood up.
"The words of the little prince, the lower officials remembered, no matter what the situation is in the future, the lower officials are very grateful to the prince and the little prince, as for the question of their own strength, they still need to think about it in the long run."
