The crown prince is the foundation of the country and the foundation of the country. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhu Houzhao's decision to crown the crown prince is definitely a good thing.

The vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty became vassals when they became adults, no matter how favored by the emperor was, this was inevitable.

Since the Ming Dynasty was difficult to cut down the feudal domain, the vassal kings basically had no power, and it was impossible to pose any threat to the imperial court.

Just look at the rebellion of King Ning, who has been planning for a long time to recruit troops and horses, claiming to be more than 200,000 people, but in fact they are just a bunch of local chickens and dogs, a rabble.

As soon as the imperial counterinsurgency army arrived, it immediately collapsed, and there was absolutely no victory in the slightest.

Therefore, the vassal kings should still be conscious, give birth to children who should have children, and play women who should play women. But don't covet the chair in the Forbidden City, it's going to kill you......

The crown prince's canonization ceremony is scheduled to be held on the second day of the ninth lunar month, and the autumn is high and cool, and the zodiac is an auspicious day.

The ceremony was presided over by the Ministry of Rites, and Zhu Houzhao, the Son of Heaven, held the prince Zhu Zaitang in front of the Fengtian Hall to accept the bowing of the civil and military ministers, which showed the majesty of the heavenly family to the extreme.

Of course, the ceremony was long and boring.

Even His Majesty the Emperor was a little unbearable, not to mention the little prince in his arms.

But there is no way, since you were born in the royal family, you must learn to endure it.

You have to learn to be bowed as if you were a tablet.

This kind of loneliness is often incomprehensible to ordinary people.

Fortunately, the little prince Zhu Zaitang is still very young and has enough time to study, and his father is also in his prime, so he has enough time to teach him.

Isn't that a kind of happiness.

Father and son are filial piety, brothers and friends are brothers, prosperous and prosperous.

On the day when Zhu Zaitang was crowned the crown prince, Zhu Houzhao had another seal, that is, the honor of awarding Xie Shen to the Zhuguo.

The title of Shangzhuguo in the Ming generation is rarely awarded, and only Xia Yan is the only one who has won this title during his lifetime. Poor old man Xia was still clicked.

Xie Shen naturally knew all this, so he was really not happy when he was awarded the Shangzhu Kingdom.

But since the Son of Heaven gave him the honor, he couldn't refuse, so he had to take it head-on.

Fortunately, Zhu Houzhao was interesting enough, and he also awarded Xie Shen a position - the left concubine of Zhan Shifu.

Although he is only a five-grade official, he is the envy of countless people.

The officials of the Ming Dynasty could not only look at their rank, but also their closeness to the emperor and the crown prince.

For example, the Cabinet Scholar is also a five-grade scholar, can you say that the Cabinet Scholar is not as good as the prefect?

The same is true for the left concubine of Zhan Shifu.

can get in touch with the crown prince, and the new monarch will definitely ascend the throne in the future.

Therefore, the East Palace is regarded by many as a shortcut to the south.

Of course, for Xie Shen, there was no need to drill so hard at all.

He is already a very popular minister, and concurrently serving as the left concubine is just the icing on the cake.

But this signal to the outside world is that the veteran Xie Ge is honored and favored, even if the new monarch ascends the throne in the future, he will still be an auxiliary minister.

Gu Dingchen was in tears.

It's the same people, why is the gap so big?

When he was a gentleman in the East Palace, there was no prince.

Let's take a look at Xie Yuyao, the background of Yishui's East Palace.

Not only Mr. Imagami, but also Mr. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince today.

That's it, it's not bad to follow Xie Shen and get the title of second assistant.

After the ceremony, the ministers dispersed.

Gu Dingchen and Xie Shen walked together, and said with emotion: "Siming, it's really no regret that people can live to your point." ”

Xie Shen smiled bitterly: "Everyone has their own difficulties, Jiuhe only sees my bright side, but he doesn't know that I can't sleep at night." ”

Gu Dingchen smiled and said, "That's right, but those who can work hard." If the Ming Dynasty loses you, I'm afraid there will be a lot of problems. ”

"You're a sycophant. This Ming Dynasty will not be affected by anyone without it. ”

Xie Shen shrugged his shoulders and said, "Let's just say that you Gu Jiuhe, aren't you also a capable minister?" ”

"Siming, you are guilty of punishment. I'm the wingman's life, and if you let me take charge of it, I don't know what this pot of porridge will look like. ”

"Don't talk about this, I'm going to go back to my hometown in a while, and then you just don't want to be in charge of the spoon and have to be in charge."

Xie Shen said lightly.

"Huh?"

Gu Dingchen was obviously very surprised.

"Siming is going home?"

It is not uncommon for the first ministers of the cabinet to take leave to return to their hometowns during their term of office, but most of them are due to accidents.

For example, when a parent dies, filial piety must be observed for three years. For example, if you are seriously ill and need to recuperate.

It is so rare for someone like Xie Shen to be strong and strong, but he has to take leave and return to his hometown in his prime.

Because the power struggle of the Ming Dynasty, especially the power struggle of the cabinet, is very fierce.

For example, in the Jiajing Dynasty, all the ministers are top-notch people, and if you sing and I appear, you may be pulled down if you don't make a mistake, let alone take the initiative to take leave.

In ancient times, the transportation was not convenient, how could it take a few months to go back to my hometown, if I kept filial piety for three years, I would have come back to be a person or a person, and I still want to continue to be the first assistant?

I'm sorry, it's good to be able to keep the status of a cabinet scholar, but Shousuke is categorically out of action.

Therefore, after the death of his father, Zhang Juzheng was still reluctant to return to his hometown to keep filial piety, and encouraged the emperor to seize his affection, so he continued to serve as the first assistant.

It wasn't until his father's funeral that he had to take a three-month break to return to his hometown in Jiangling, Jingzhou.

Rao is like this, Zhang Juzheng still ordered his cronies to send all the notes of the Jingshi to Jingzhou for his approval.

At that time, the little emperor Wanli was the time when he seemed to understand whether he understood or not, and when he saw such a scene, he held a grudge against Zhang Juzheng, which also laid the groundwork for the tragic situation after Zhang Juzheng's death.

A generation of powerful ministers is still like this, not to mention those who are not very stable in their positions.

Seizing the time to stabilize their position is their first choice, as for taking leave and returning to their hometown, forget it.

"Why, don't I even have the right to take a leave? This poem is very boring. ”

Xie Shen couldn't help but joke about himself, his mentality was really not ordinarily good.

"Well, Siming laughed. If you take leave, Your Majesty will certainly be allowed. ”

Gu Dingchen actually couldn't quite understand Xie Shen's actions, but since Xie Shen chose to take leave, he must have his reasons. How can anyone who can come up with a series of new policies be able to guess by ordinary people?

At least Xie Shen didn't have to worry about being taken away from power. With Zhu Houzhao here, his position as the first assistant is as stable as a dog.

"To be honest, life in Jingshi is not very suitable for me."

Xie Shen sighed and looked at the colorful clouds outside the high palace wall with his hands behind his back.

"Jingshi's life is too impetuous, less moist, and the whole person seems to be floating. I still prefer Yuyao's etherealness in comparison. ”

Gu Dingchen empathized with this, he nodded lightly and said: "Jiangnan is naturally more suitable for life than Jingshi, but sometimes people have to make trade-offs. Fan Wenzhenggong said that if you live in a temple, you will worry about its people, and if you are far away from the rivers and lakes, you will worry about its monarch. But if you really want to do something for the country and the people, you still have authority in your hands. ”
