Chapter 68: The Way of the Emperor

Emperor Hongzhi returned to the Dongnuan Pavilion, sat on the side of the kang and frowned deeply, the court meeting in the early dynasty made the uneasiness in Hongzhi's heart more and more intense.

Hongji's uneasiness is not the military of the side plug. There are wars in Biansai almost every year, so it is normal for this fire to disturb Datong Mansion. Although many people died, the emperor still couldn't be of much interest.

Hongzhi's uneasiness is not the persecution of Wenchen, since he ascended the throne, no, since the defense of Beijing in the twelfth year of Tianshun, almost all emperors of all dynasties have been suppressed by Wenchen, so today's situation is not once or twice. Emperor Hongzhi also knew that although those ministers were too strong, in fact, in the final analysis, it was also for the sake of his Ming dynasty, and the emperor was not angry.

Hongji's uneasiness is uneasiness on Jinyiwei. In the early dynasty, Emperor Hongzhi looked at Mu Bin, the commander of Jinyiwei, in addition to wanting him to ask about the situation in Datong, and more importantly, hoping that Mu Bin's speech at the court meeting would be in line with his own mind. But this Mu Bin disappointed Hongzhi very much, and even with a trace of fear.

"Is this last guard going to be taken away by the Ministry of War?" Hongzhi looked at the excerpt handed over by the six branches, which was the cabinet's rejection of his desire to build a longevity tower and a palace corridor outside the Chaoyang Gate to increase his longevity, and ordered the cabinet to write a letter of edict, which was built by Li Rong, the eunuch of the celebrant and the eunuch Li Xing, and the eunuch Li Xing. Not only did the six departments refute his holy decree in the matter, but Liu Jian, a scholar, said: The things of the Buddha, the old ghosts, and the gods are not beneficial to the world and harmful to the people. Today's temple looks at each other, the monks are in groups, the Jiao is not entered, the reward is not calculated, the wealth of the world is exhausted, the power of the world is exhausted, the situation is extremely poor, and there is no way to add more. Please take back your previous order and stop building the pagoda temple. Later, the ministers of various prefectures and departments and officials of the Ministry of Science and Technology all handed over their chapters and asked them to be dismissed. Emperor Hongzhi had no choice but to withdraw the holy decree.

"Jinyiwei is unreliable, Mu Bin and Wenchen are too close!" Emperor Hongzhi thought that when Mu Bin and Liu Daxia and others sang and sang on stage early today, Hongzhi couldn't help but want to get angry. But he also knew that as long as he was angry, the ministers would be absolutely happy in their hearts, and they would kneel on the ground and weep until they took back their orders. The reputation of outspoken anti-Cambodia has also been obtained, and his holy decree has been withdrawn, and both sides have benefited, and only Hongzhi is the unlucky one.

"Father, the snow is so heavy today, and the weather is getting colder and colder, the emperor specially allocated a batch of fragrant charcoal from the Internal Affairs Office to Dongnuan Pavilion to ward off the cold for his father. Father, has your cough gotten better these days? Emperor Hongzhi was thinking about whether to reopen the West Factory, and Zhu Houzhao didn't wait for the eunuch to pass through, so he ran in quickly.

"My Hou'er is here. How did I feel that this East Warm Pavilion is getting warmer and warmer, it turns out that my emperor's filial piety has shone on this East Warm Pavilion. When Emperor Hongzhi saw Zhu Houzhao come in, he immediately put down his official duties, and did not wait for Zhu Houzhao to salute, so he pulled his son to sit beside him, and the group puppet did not say that the emperor was panicked and did not want to sit on the kang opposite, but sat side by side with Hongzhi, warming his hands, and taking snacks from the fruit bowl next to him to eat. Such a situation, except for Zhu Houzhao's father and son, is really difficult to see between the emperor's father and son.

"Hou'er, did you go to your mother's place to ask for peace?" Hongji took Zhu Houzhao's hand and looked lovingly at his son who was shaking his legs and stuffing snacks into his mouth, and his heart was full of relief. The son is filial this time, what more can the husband ask for?

"I didn't go, there are too many rules in Kunning Palace, and the queen mother always has a straight face. The emperor's every move must be in accordance with the rules, so it is not interesting for the emperor to stay there and be restrained. Zhu Houzhao pursed his lips dissatisfiedly and said indifferently.

"Emperor, your queen mother also wants you to understand the rules, so that your every move when you become the emperor in the future can be in line with the royal majesty, so she is a little harsh on you. Your mother is for your own good. Emperor Hongzhi sighed, his own emperor is good at everything, the only bad thing is that he has a temperament, and Empress Zhang is a person who pays special attention to rules, so Zhu Houzhao is not close to his mother.

"Anyway, the queen mother is not as good as the father." Zhu Houzhao wiped the residue on his mouth with his sleeve, and then raised his head and said.

"Silly boy." When Emperor Hongzhi heard his son say this, he could only smile bitterly unconsciously.

"Emperor, how is your homework in the past few days?" Hongji suddenly asked about Zhu Houzhao's homework.

"Today, Mr. Liu took the time to come to Dongdong Power to check my homework, but I was reprimanded by Mr. again."

"Mr. Liu is a great Confucian in the world, and what he taught must be right. Emperor, in the future, you will be a person who wants to be the Son of Heaven, and you can't do it if you don't learn it. Hongji said bitterly.

"Anyway, he is not as interesting as Ye Guan's talk, and what Mr. Liu talks about is old-fashioned things, which sounds too boring."

"Ye Guan ......"

After Zhu Houzhao left, Emperor Hongzhi looked at the back of his own emperor, sticking these two words thoughtfully.

………………

"Ye Guan, you are bold enough to instigate the prince to leave the palace, enter the land of Golan without permission, and beat the family members of the British government. However, as a courtier, when impeaching others, he can't play directly on the king, but secretly uses tricks to control the minister and use the king, which is really punishable! ”

Also in the Dongnuan Pavilion, Emperor Hongzhi called Ye Guan to him, pointed at Ye Guan's nose and scolded.

Ye Guan didn't know why the emperor summoned him today, but when he heard Hongzhi say this, he immediately knew that he and Zhu Houzhao had beaten Wang Meng and made up rumors a few days ago. Immediately, there was a chill in my heart: "How secret this thing is, how does the emperor know?" Could it be that there are eyes and ears of the emperor among the eight tigers? If it was the Eight Tigers ventilation report, Zhu Houzhao would not be able to come out at all the first few times, how could there be a series of things after that. Could it be Wang Yue's old gelding? By the way, the East Factory is the agency responsible for monitoring Jinyiwei, and Wang Yue's old gelding has a grudge against him, so it must be the secret told by the East Factory! Ye Guan knelt on the ground, his face was full of fear, but his heart was full of thoughts.

"Ye Guan, don't you like to speak up? Don't you like to share the worries of the people? Don't you like to play with intrigue? Okay, I've got you covered! You don't have to do the job of washing horses for the crown prince, and you don't want to spend this year in the Jingshi. Go to Datong Mansion to investigate and investigate what "Ancient Strange Injustices" is! The investigation can't come up with a result, don't blame me for being unreasonable! Get out of the capital today, if you grind, don't blame me for sending you a carriage to Datong! Emperor Hongzhi saw Ye Guan kneeling on the ground without saying a word, his face was even more annoyed, and he said sharply to Ye Guan.

"Carriage?" Ye Guan asked subconsciously.

"Yes, the carriage, the carriage with fifty pounds of yoke. You stand on the prisoner car and enjoy the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains of my Ming Dynasty! Emperor Hongzhi sneered.

"The minister deserves death, the minister obeys the order, and the minister ......will leave immediately" Ye Guan heard that he was going to Datong, and his face suddenly turned white. went to Datong Mansion for the New Year, but he died of a damn cold. I was originally a Jiangnan person, and I couldn't get used to living in Beijing, let alone Biansai, let alone standing in a prisoner car and going to Datong with shackles.

After leaving the palace, Zhu Houzhao, who got the news, hurriedly came to Dongnuan Pavilion to ask Hongzhi to open the net: "Father, it is the idea of the son to leave the palace in the past few days, and Ye Guan is just doing it according to the emperor's wishes." If you punish him like this, who will dare to follow the emperor in the future! ”

Ye Guan's fantastical stories and explanations of ancient texts are very different from those of the old gentlemen in the court, and the attraction to Zhu Houzhao is more likely than that of Liu Jin and others. He couldn't even dream that in addition to Da Ming, there were so many colorful places in the world, and Ye Guan was still his only friend, although Zhu Houzhao had not known him for a long time, but he didn't want to lose Ye Guan, the only friend.

"Huang'er, do you still remember Xunzi's persuasion?" Seeing Zhu Houzhao interceding for Ye Guan, Hongzhi did not feel the slightest annoyance, but asked a sentence that made Zhu Houzhao confused.

"Remember, in order not to let Mr. Xie punish Ye Guan, Erchen remembered this article very clearly. The gentleman said: You can't learn.

Green, taken from blue, and green from blue; Ice, water for it, and cold for water. Wooden straight rope, light for the wheel, its curve in the rules, although there is violence, do not stand up, let it be. Therefore, the wood is straight, the gold is sharpened, and the gentleman is erudite and the day is self-conscious, and there is no fault in knowing and doing. Therefore, if you do not climb the mountain, you do not know the height of the sky; If you don't face a deep stream, you don't know the thickness of the ground; I don't know the last words of the ancestors, and I don't know the greatness of learning. ...... "Zhu Houzhao has been smart since he was a child, and in order to help Ye Guan, who is not very good at ancient literature, not to be punished by Xie Qian, Zhu Houzhao memorized these articles clearly.

Emperor Hongzhi saw that Zhu Houzhao memorized "Persuasion" very fluently, and nodded with satisfaction.

"Emperor, do you know why I let you be subjected to this article?"

"I don't know."

"Emperor, I punished Ye Guan because I was optimistic about Ye Guan." Emperor Hongzhi sighed and said bitterly.

"Huh? Punish him for favoring him? "After all, Zhu Houzhao is young and doesn't understand the emperor's hard work.

"Mencius has a cloud: Therefore, the heavens will be entrusted to the people, and they must first suffer their minds, strain their muscles and bones, starve their bodies and skins, empty their bodies, and act chaotically. Although Ye Guan was young, he bravely fought against the Japanese and offered salt methods. can also know that taking advantage of the situation must be a character who is better than the blue. But he doesn't know much about being a minister, he is like a straight tree, if you want to make him a wheel on the emperor's frame, you have to help. Iron is getting brighter and brighter the more you grind. Since he doesn't know how to be a minister, I can help him. If you don't go through some tempering, the young man will be ambitious, and it will inevitably be unsightly, and he will become an arrogant and domineering minister, understand? ”

Emperor Hongzhi is ready to hand over the way of the emperor to his son. Because he felt that his body was really not as good as before......
