Chapter 56: Dark Tide
Yang Zongzhi smiled and asked Wu Jie: "Shizhen, how do you know about this?" β
Wu Jie naturally did not say that he was familiar with the "History of the Ming Dynasty" during this time, but only replied that he used to read his father's newspaper in Nanjing in the past, and he knew a little about the affairs of the court.
Governor Lin nodded, and was even more satisfied with this young man: "This kind of thing is not famous for ordinary people, but you can see the subtlety of Wu Jie, you are really quick-witted." β
He sighed again, and said to Yang Zongzhi with a somewhat ashamed face: "Zong Yiyu woke up the person in the dream, because I was not from a Jinshi background, I was quite ashamed of myself, and I only did what I did in my hands conscientiously, but I didn't care much about the government. Now I am ashamed to listen to my brother's words, and I think I am also a scholar who has read the words of a saint all my life. The matter of the country's capital is related to the common people in the world, how can it be avoided? Zongzhi, what do you want me to do, even if you come to the Tao, dare to disobey your orders. β
Yang Zongzhi did not have the same heroic and unrestrained attitude as before, but had a positive face, and said: "In the early years of Jiajing, the DPRK and China fought for the country's foundation, and there was a great stir in the matter of succession or reunification. Those who are ministers do not say anything about the king's faults; Those who are children do not say anything about their parents. But because the country is not strong, in the past 39 years, what the government is like, you have also seen it. β
"Since the great ceremony, countless villains have stolen high positions, and the government is in the hands of annihilation. Party strife continues, and national strength is empty. But the monarch's father let it go, and now a mediocre person like Yan Song has to be of great use. β
"The root cause of this is not because of the old things that caused the righteous people and gentlemen to be indiscriminate and the people's hearts to be confused."
"After many years, the matter of the country is a confused account, so naturally some people have other thoughts."
"The position of the prince is uncertain, and there will be another big chaos. Isn't it because Duke Lu mentioned the matter of the crown prince in front of His Majesty that he was angry with the king, and he couldn't afford to be sick? Yang Zongzhi is not the name of his ancestors, but for the common people in the world. β
Wu Jie was shocked when he heard this, Lu Bing also knew about this person in the history books, and he was the most slippery. Anything like this that would make the prince and annoy the emperor could not be done in any way.
But that's what he did.
Actually, this is understandable.
In real history, Lu Bing will die this year. It is estimated that this guy knows that his health is not good and wants to sell the future Emperor Longqing, so he is taking this risk and seeking wealth for his descendants.
Anyway, he's already going to die, and he can't be so afraid.
Speaking of which, this Lu Bing is really smart.
"Well said!" Governor Lin slapped the table: "Since Yuli has spoken everything thoroughly, this mansion dares not to be the first." Your book should be finished as soon as possible, and I should send it to my colleagues in the court and China to build momentum for King Yu's crown prince. Even if you don't want this prefect's official position, or even if you're in prison, you can't take care of it. β
"Thank you, Lord Lin." Yang Zongzhi stood up and gave Governor Lin a long look.
He said to Wu Jie again: "Shizhen Gaocai, I originally planned to let you study in my academy." You are not inferior to me. I won't be cheeky enough to let you be my protΓ©gΓ©, let's talk about it as equals. I am going to write a narrative of what I have learned all my life. I heard that Shizhen is in the middle of your family, so you might as well mention a proofreading manuscript and add or delete it. β
Governor Lin picked up Yang Zongzhi and said to Wu Jie with a smile: "Good proposal, good proposal." β
Wu Jie was thrilled to hear it, and after he crossed over to the Ming Dynasty, he thought very simply, nothing more than relying on the prophet to take the Jinshi exam, and then become an official, and get rich and glorious. But he didn't want to get involved in the specific court political disputes, but in front of him, Governor Lin and Yang Zongzhi wanted to make a storm in this matter, and he was in it, but he was afraid that it would be a disaster rather than a blessing.
But Yang Zongzhi and Lin Zhifu are so identious, how can he refuse what they say.
Emperor Jiajing is very old, and he will soon be forty years old in Jiajing. According to real historical records, the emperor had more than three years to live and less than four years. It is said that if you help Yang Zongyi write this book together, and create public opinion for the future Emperor Longqing, the current Yuwang succeeding to the crown prince, it is a venture capital with a small investment and a big return, no matter how you look at it, it will be a sure profit.
But don't forget, Jiajing is not dead yet, with his surname, he naturally can't tolerate this kind of thing, and pinching a little child to death is as simple as pinching ants.
In fact, before this, there were also many civil officials who wrote to the emperor to make King Yu the crown prince early.
But this is a taboo for Jiajing: Lao Tzu is not dead, you want to arrange the future for me, what is your intention? The two dragons don't see each other, you set up the prince and assist the hidden dragon, do you want me to collapse this real dragon mountain, what is your intention?
As a result, the emperor naturally refused to allow these twists and turns, and was furious, and sent the officials to the department one by one for questioning.
But the anger of the Son of Heaven not only did not frighten off the civil officials, but let them follow, one table a day, one fold a month, which made Emperor Jiajing very unhappy.
It wasn't until King Jing's case came out that the civil officials shifted their targets and aimed their firepower at King Jing's mansion.
Here's the thing, because the crown prince is not established, King Jing, as the fourth son of the emperor, naturally moved his mind and wanted to make a move.
According to the vassal system of the Ming Dynasty, when the princes reached adulthood, they had to go out of Beijing to become vassals, and they were not allowed to return to the capital without an edict.
King Jing naturally had to leave the capital as well.
Because King Keyu is the prince of the inner designation, although he has no name, he has always stayed in the capital. There is such a precedent that King Jing Suo's surname is playing tricks, and he refuses to go to the place alive or dead. What I am afraid of is that if there is a big change in the court in the future, when the news reaches the place, the daylily will be cold.
I don't know what means he used, but he got the acquiescence of Emperor Jiajing.
This has annoyed the entire civilian bureaucracy.
The civil officials were already in a hurry because of the matter of the crown prince, but now they have drilled into the matter of King Jing, and they suddenly made a fuss, and they have written to ask King Jing to leave the capital as soon as possible, the sooner the better.
What are you doing in the capital so desperately that King Jing still wants to covet the position of the prince?
The imperial court has its own etiquette system: if there is no heir, there is no heir, and if there is no heir, the chief is not virtuous.
The world is the world of the people of the world. People in the world, we are also scholars!
After the Son of Heaven for a thousand years, who will continue to be a big treasure, there are rules, naturally there are righteous men and gentlemen such as me to call the shots, when will it be your turn to be a prince to think about it?
So, the civil officials were full of firepower, aimed their anger at King Jing, and saw that Tianjuan asked King Jing to leave Beijing immediately.
It's a pity that the civil officials have been fighting with Emperor Jiajing for decades, but they still haven't figured out his spleen surname. This is a monarch with a strong surname and a strong rebellious mentality.
"I am the Son of Heaven, and I can make my own decisions in everything, and what you ask me to do, I have to do the opposite."
