Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Holy Grace is Unfathomable
In the Forbidden City, in the depths of the palace, Zhu Youzhen was holding a fold in his hand, looking very serious.
Wang Chengen held the dust in his hand and stood beside Zhu Youzhen, because he was used to bending over, it seemed that his waist could not be straightened.
"Father-in-law, Su Tiancheng's whereabouts these days, you can talk about it."
"Yes, Su Tiancheng went to visit Lord Zhou and Lord Wen, and the rest of the time, he was in the inn, and he didn't go anywhere, a total of seventeen tribute students went to visit, among which Chen Yutai and Wu Weiye stayed the longest, two days ago, Su Tiancheng had closed the door to thank guests."
"Well, these are all clear, and I don't know what's wrong with Lu Dao, I am very concerned about this Su Tiancheng."
"The emperor is thirsty for talent, and Su Tian is young and talented."
"Don't talk about this, Su Tiancheng actually wants to be released as an official, what do you think."
Wang Chengen's face had a cautious smile, he was very embarrassed by this question, although he vaguely guessed some strange things, but he never dared to say it at will.
Wang Chengen's heart is all on Zhu Youzhen's body, he has accompanied Zhu Youzhen since he was a child, and he has experienced too much, especially when Wei Zhongxian was in power, and even thought about abolishing Zhu Youzhen, the king of letters, during that time, Zhu Youzhen was particularly careful.
may be the influence of the environment, Zhu Youzhen's personality is still a little extreme, trusting a person, eager to take out his heart and lungs, he can't get used to seeing a person, and he will definitely not be able to accommodate it.
"Father-in-law, don't have any worries, just say what comes to mind."
"Yes, the slave maid thinks that Su Tiancheng may have known some contradictions within the imperial court, and wanted to stay away from these contradictions, and chose to go to Nanzhili and be released as an official, which is also the best choice."
Zhu Youzhen nodded slightly.
"At the age of nineteen, it's very good to be able to make such a choice, but by my side, there is a lack of talents, in the court, the battle between ministers, I am very annoyed, this Su Tiancheng, why can't I think more about it, the township will try to solve the yuan, will try the yuan, and be able to go into battle to kill the enemy, it's very good, both civil and military are all-rounders, stay by my side, and play a role."
Speaking of this, Zhu Youzhen sighed slightly.
"In times of crisis, I can't stand up and choose Mingzhe to protect myself, I'm a little disappointed."
Wang Chengen's body also trembled.
"Your Majesty, slaves don't see it that way."
"Oh, tell me about it."
"Thinking that Su Tiancheng, when he was a teenager, he was able to lead the nursing home and exterminate the three hundred rogues, and he was in the front, he was definitely not a wise person to protect himself, the reason why he wanted to be released as an official may really be thinking of going through the grind."
"This explanation is a bit far-fetched, I have also thought about it, he is by my side, there is no need to be afraid of the battle between the court, by the way, you said that Su Tiancheng went to Zhou Aiqing and Wen Aiqing's mansion, and he was a little indifferent."
"That's true, so the slave maid has such a judgment, if Su Tiancheng wants to cling to the powerful, he can stay in the capital, get the emperor's attention, have the two teachers of Lord Zhou and Lord Wen, and display his talents, there is no big problem, but his attitude is a little vague, he doesn't think about attaching to Lord Zhou and Lord Wen, the slave and maid think that Su Tiancheng is thinking about being loyal to the emperor and unwilling to rely on others."
"Well, there is some truth in saying this, in the face of the first and second assistants of the current dynasty, it does take courage to be able to choose like this, Su Tiancheng is just a test of Huiyuan, there is no special capital, by the way, Dong Aiqing recommended it, thinking that after Su Tiancheng is released, he can play the biggest role, what do you think."
"The slave maid thinks that Lord Dong has secretly observed many times, and his knowledge should be accurate, since Su Tiancheng wants to be released as an official, he can place Qu Qingze by his side, so that the emperor can always grasp Su Tiancheng's dynamics."
"Well, this is a good idea, but Su Tiancheng will try Huiyuan, and the palace will try, if there is no accident, I am ready to be appointed as the first first, this first armor has always entered the Hanlin Academy, and the rules of the ancestors can't be messed up."
"The emperor was ordered to make many wise moves when he was in danger, and the slave maid thought that for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, the emperor advocated innovation, which varies from person to person, and there will be no problem."
A smile finally appeared on Zhu Youzhen's face.
"Father-in-law, you are so optimistic about Su Tiancheng, this kid really has some skills, two yuan and the first, the township test solution yuan, the will test the yuan, and the poetry is also a must, I really want to see it right away."
"Emperor Shengming, if you think that Su Tiancheng, you must live up to the emperor's expectations."
Zhu Youzhen stood up and moved slightly.
He was only twenty-one years old when he got up, and he was young and vigorous, but unfortunately he was burdened with a heavy burden and looked extraordinarily old. Shouldering such a heavy responsibility, he also wants to be able to do big things and stabilize the Ming Dynasty.
"I work very hard, Zhou Aiqing and Wen Aiqing are both my ministers of the humerus, I rely on them, but they can't work together for anything, think about the Ming Dynasty, from last year to this year, I have dealt with so many ministers, according to their intentions, they can't understand my hard work, they are still fighting, I am in a hurry, such a big country, hundreds of millions of people, I am a little negligent, it is a catastrophe."
"The emperor is auspicious, I am a great country, and it must be ten thousand years old."
"Father-in-law, don't talk about this, I know in my heart, Houjin in the north is becoming more and more rampant, but in the past few years, disasters have been repeated, and there are rogues everywhere, I feel uncomfortable, these rogues are my people, but it is caused by famine, so I am ashamed to gather people to rebel, if I can think of a way to solve their famine, so that they can have food, and they will not rebel." The most hateful thing is that this Kong Youde, I can't wait to pick his skin, as a general of the Ming Dynasty, he does not control his subordinates, makes people angry, does not think about his own mistakes, and dares to rebel. ”
Zhu Youzhen's face became ugly again.
"Liu Yulie, recommended by Zhou Aiqing, made me very disappointed, and he returned in vain."
"The emperor is exhausted, the royal goods in the palace have been sold, the treasury is subsidized, the slaves and maids look distressed, the emperor must take care of the dragon body, these things can always be solved."
Although Wang Chengen said this, he was still a little happy in his heart, if it weren't for the competition for power and profit between the ministers of civil and military affairs in the imperial court, which made the emperor feel upset, the eunuch still couldn't have any power.
The emperor exterminated Wei Zhongxian, he was extremely disgusted with eunuchs, abolished many of the eunuchs' privileges, and the prison army was also canceled, and the major matters in the court and the local area were basically decided by the ministers, but unfortunately these ministers were not angry, and repeatedly disappointed the emperor.
Zhu Youzhen took a few steps and picked up a letter casually.
"The twists and turns of the ministries and provinces are all bitter, either lack of money, or famine, there are rogue soldiers everywhere, I look in a trance, is God going to punish me, only this recital, I look at it and feel more comforted, Hong Aiqing has lived up to my expectations, won several victories in Anqing, and has surrounded many rogues, but I feel that it is better not to be too harsh on those rogues who have surrendered."
Hong Chengchou has succeeded Yang He as the governor of the tripartite.
Hong Chengchou has always believed that in the treatment of the rogues, we must go all out to clear them, and we must not give the rogues a chance to breathe, and he has always done this, after taking office, he changed the usual situation and adopted an offensive posture.
"Your Majesty, Lord Hong has strategized and achieved impressive results, and the slave maid feels that the emperor still lets Lord Hong decide for himself, if he can win a big victory, he has laid down the arrogance of a rogue, and then appeased, it is also very good."
"What my father-in-law said is reasonable, I will not be affected by the foreign monarch's life, I still don't interfere too much, I look forward to Hong Aiqing bringing me good news."
"Lord Hong will definitely not live up to the emperor's trust."
In all fairness, although the impression of eunuchs in history is mostly negative, Wang Chengen did consider it for Zhu Youzhen, and he excluded his personal preferences for many things, and came up with some good ideas, and basically put forward some suggestions from the perspective of benefiting the government.
This is also because he has been by Zhu Youzhen's side and has experienced many hardships together.
Zhu Youzhen also trusts him very much, although it is said that the chief eunuch of the ceremonial supervisor is Cao Huachun, but when it comes to the degree of trust, Zhu Youzhen still believes in Wang Chengen the most.
"Father-in-law, call Dong Aiqing to see me tomorrow, these days, he has also worked hard, wandering around for me, and found a talent like Su Tiancheng, I also want to encourage him. As for Qu Qingze, if you make a request on behalf of me, I still can't go too far, lest the ministers of the DPRK and China come out to impeach again. ”
After sending the emperor to rest, Wang Chengen immediately found Qin Sande.
Qin Sande is his confidant, if Su Tiancheng is released and goes to Nanzhili, it is not so easy to break out of the world in Nanzhili, Su Tiancheng has no qualifications, he will definitely be constrained, and sending Qu Qingze to Su Tiancheng's side is just to monitor Su Tiancheng's every move.
Su Tiancheng must have something to rely on, and when he arrived in Nanzhili, he was not by the emperor's side, and the emperor could not directly support him.
Wang Chengen had already thought of letting Qin Sande go to Nanzhili and serve as the eunuch of Nanjing, so that he could directly support Su Tiancheng.
It takes so much thought, for a young man like Su Tiancheng, this is a rare thing, but things have come to this point, Wang Chengen must persevere to the end, if Su Tiancheng can't make achievements, he is also sorry for the emperor.
