Chapter 267: The emperor is sad

readx;

At the beginning of April, it was the warm spring season, the spring of Jingshi came late, at this time the flowers in the suburbs bloomed, Chaoyangmen suddenly became a lot more lively, many people got up early in the morning, and took the slaves out to go out.

A lot has passed in the new year, and the major yamen have fallen silent again, and there seems to be nothing to mention everyone's interest, especially when Liu Chengfeng went to Lianzhou, and many people in Beijing felt lonely.

The weather is good these days, so there are many officials who take 'sick' leave, which is almost the usual practice of the entire imperial court, the officials of the Ming Dynasty do not have many vacations, everyone is a scholar, and they can't bury their heads in the case at night, so there are few people who take the opportunity to take a sick leave and go out to take their families to play in the suburbs.

Such an atmosphere made the Jingshi peaceful, and there were many fewer officials in the yamen, and the servants went their own way.

It's just that in the cabinet room, it exploded all of a sudden.

The reason for the matter is this, as usual, after the elders were summoned by the emperor, they immediately returned to the duty room to start working, Xie Qian saw a book of notes, and suddenly shot the case, and said angrily: "How dare you do this!" ”

Xie Qian was originally an impulsive surname, and his curse immediately attracted the attention of Liu Jian and Li Dongyang. ”

Have an accident...... Liu Jian and Li Dongyang looked at each other, and there were only a few possibilities for accidents in Guangxi, either there was a conflict on the Annan side, or the barbarians had rebelled again.

Annan and the Ming Dynasty, called the vassals, in fact, have a grudge, this matter, have to start from the time of Emperor Wen, when there was a rebellion within Annan, Emperor Wen sent troops to suppress, and then put the county to put Annan under the direct jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty, and then later, there was chaos.

Annan was naturally dissatisfied with the rule of the Ming people, so there were frequent rebellions in various places, and the Ming army was exhausted and suffered great losses. The attrition here is not the attrition of the army, but the attrition of the treasury.

Hundreds of thousands of troops have to eat and drink in Annan, and Annan is a barren land in the eyes of the Ming Dynasty. In the end, the Ming Dynasty absolutely withdrew its troops, and the Annan people also made superficial efforts to bow down to their vassals.

It's just that this subservient minister, not out of sincerity, after the retreat of the Ming army, although Annan did not dare to be presumptuous, but secretly, it was ambitious, especially after the Tumubao Change, various border conflicts can be described as countless, every time, it made the cabinet a big headache.

If it is said that the war is not a good thing for the Ming Dynasty, the soldiers and horses have not moved, the grain and grass go first, and the large-scale war is bound to prepare countless grains, although the treasury of the Hongzhi Dynasty is abundant, it is impossible to use it in the war against Annam, after all, since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the real threat has always come from the north, not from a small place like Annam.

But swallowing his anger can only help Chang Annan's arrogance.

So in this cabinet, almost all people are most afraid of hearing the word Guangxi, Guangxi General Manager and Annan are so touched, Xie Qian said that something happened in Guangxi, in Xie Qian's mouth, this accident must be a big deal, otherwise the emotion would not be so excited.

In fact, there is a change in Annan, but what is more of a headache is the barbarians in Guangxi, and among the barbarians in Guangxi, the barbarians in Lianzhou are the most headaches, if the barbarians pull the flag and rebel, it is impossible not to send military horses to suppress it, at the beginning of the new year, it is finally too peaceful, is there a war again?

Liu Jian is still very steady, after all, he has seen a lot of winds and waves, and he is not so intimidated by a word, so he asked Xie Qian lightly: "What happened?" ”

"Liu Chengfeng led people into the grange of Jingjiang Palace, took a clan, and now he is still in a book, asking the court to treat this clan Zhu Shan for a crime of exceeding etiquette, this Liu Chengfeng is really a scourge wherever he goes!"

Xie Qian's anger is not groundless, the court has only been peaceful for a few days, and now there is chaos again, this chaos is not small, it involves the vassal king, it is not fun.

Whether it is the cabinet or the palace, they are cautious about the affairs of the vassal king, after all, there are taboos about this thing, if you are too good to the vassal king, and you are afraid that he will be arrogant, if you treat him badly, you are afraid that people will say that the same sect is incompatible, so the best way is to ignore them, they don't come to cause trouble, and the court tries not to deal with them.

But now...... Liu Chengfeng went to provoke the Jingjiang Palace, the children of the clan, where you say to take it, even if he overdues, it is the court to make a claim, and it is also the palace to ask the order, you are good, just do it directly!

Li Dongyang, who had been silent, couldn't help but smile bitterly, and then said: "This time, I'm just afraid of stabbing the hornet's nest." ”

For these clans, the people here may not have any good feelings, after all, these people are all powerful, the court is wary of them, and they are not willing to provoke easily, and they are mostly blind to some of their illegal acts, but they don't like the vassal king, it doesn't necessarily mean that the elders like to touch this mold, whether it is Liu Jian, Li Dongyang or Xie Qian, they all understand that something is going to happen, and it will not be small.

Liu Jian was silent for a moment and said, "The two of you are still working, and the old man will enter the palace." ”

Li Dongyang and Xie Qian nodded one after another, but they didn't have any opinions, this kind of thing can't be done without going into the palace to ask, and the cabinet can't be the master.

Liu Jian entered the palace directly and immediately met him.

Zhu Youzhu listened to Liu Jian's performance, watched the recital, his face showed a strange color, and he just said lightly: "What do you think of Liu Aiqing?" ”

Before Liu Jian came, he had already made a draft, and said without hesitation: "Your Majesty, for the sake of today, is to immediately cut through the mess, and order Liu Chengfeng to release people immediately, enter Beijing to ask for guilt, and reduce the impact of this matter as quickly as possible, otherwise the Jingjiang Mansion will suffer such a big loss, and it will definitely make trouble, and how can the face of the court be put aside at that time?" lest your Majesty's holy name be discredited. ”

This method is the best of both worlds, with Liu Jian's understanding of Zhu Youzhang, Your Majesty is still very emotional, and Your Majesty is very appreciative of Liu Chengfeng, and has made a clear attitude of great use, at this time, if the punishment of Liu Chengfeng is too heavy, Your Majesty's side, will definitely be displeased, and the best way is to release the person first, and then put Liu Chengfeng' Please come to Beijing, let the King of Jingjiang stabilize first, as for the punishment after entering Beijing, it will naturally depend on the emperor, which leaves room for things, and Your Majesty also has a step down.

After all, Liu Chengfeng is the emperor's confidant, and the saint is long, what do you say too much to Liu Chengfeng at this time, doesn't this mean that Your Majesty has no vision? Don't know anyone?

Zhu Youzhu was silent for a while, looked at the song again, frowned, and said: "But in the song Shu, what kind of Zhu Shan, actually refers to someone to kill the official, according to me, there is no need to deal with it so quickly, and in the sound of Shuli, the Jingjiang palace actually hoarded 170,000 mu of land in Lianzhou, accounting for 30% of the entire Lianzhou field, according to me, this matter has to wait and talk about it first." ”

Liu Jian was speechless for a while, who doesn't know, there is no right or wrong in this kind of thing, what you see is who has the big fist on both sides, the so-called fist is not force, but the strength of both sides, such as Liu Chengfeng, he has a holy family, and his means are ruthless, but Jingjiang Wangfu, after all, is a vassal king and a clan.

The two of them are not easy to provoke, the more they entangle this, the more unfavorable it will be to the court, Liu Jian doesn't want the court to be anxious about this kind of thing, and would rather deal with this matter as soon as possible.

However, from Zhu Youzhang's point of view, Zhu Youzhu is of course unwilling to deal with it as soon as possible, because he has to wait and want to figure things out, otherwise Wanhu Hou will beat his clan relatives, and this matter will not be resolved, and some people will definitely say that he disposed of it unfairly, sheltering his close ministers and ignoring the life and death of his clan relatives.

Zhu Youzhu smiled and said to Liu Jian: "Liu Aiqing, your words are not unreasonable, but I just want to wait and see first, and I will give you an answer in a few days, how about it?" Zhu Youzhu was afraid that Liu Jian's heart would be cold, and he couldn't help but comfort him, Liu Jian smiled bitterly in his heart, knowing that the emperor's mind had been made and could not be changed, so he had to smile bitterly: "The old minister obeys the order." ”

After saying goodbye, he left the palace, and Zhu Youzhu waited for Liu Jian to retreat, his face was a little unsightly, for the palace, this is a bullshit matter, and dealing with Liu Chengfeng is equivalent to Zhu Youzhang slapping himself in the face, after all, Liu Chengfeng is Zhu Youzhang's strength to disagree with the public, and he wore a hat of Wanhu Hou, only a few days, something happened, maybe he will be laughed at by those ministers who are full of opposition.

"Look, I said a long time ago, this Liu Chengfeng is not a good thing, but the emperor just favored him like this, now it's okay, there is an accident again."

Zhu Youzhu could almost imagine what these ministers would think in their hearts, so it was inappropriate to deal with Liu Chengfeng.

But what about the Jingjiang Palace? This is not possible, although the family relationship between the Jingjiang King and Zhu Youzhu has long been weak, but after all, everyone is still relatives, they are still vassal kings, and disposing of them indiscriminately will inevitably cause criticism from the people of the world, which is unacceptable to Zhu Youzhang.

Zhu Youzhu wants to save face, disposing of Liu Chengfeng will make him lose face, and disposing of Jingjiang Wangfu will affect others' perception of him, so just in an instant, Zhu Youzhu made a decision, this matter can not be with the mud, the more ambiguous, the more unflattering, only to get to the bottom of the matter, find out the matter, at that time, you can also block the mouth of the people of the world.

But no matter what, Zhu Youzhu is still a little unhappy, this Liu Chengfeng has only stopped for a few days, and he can't wait to make a mess!
