Chapter 65: The Poisonous Dragon Catches the Thunder (15)
The word "epidemic prevention" has become a sharp sword hanging over the heads of the powerful, and no one knows when this sword will fall on their heads, and they are completely unable to resist. Even if you are a prince of the country and resist this sword for a while, you will not be able to escape the settlement in the future.
"The palliative method is only a wise man," Xu Dian said disapprerovingly, "even the peddlers and pawns should be able to think of it." ”
Xu Yunzhen was said to be ashamed, but fortunately the skin was thick and the flesh was thick, and it did not come out.
"If there is some wisdom in the middle, you should know that it is really stupid to fight against the East Palace at this time." Xu Dian said: "The East Palace has three thousand guards, the righteousness of epidemic prevention, the approval of bixia, the return of all the people, and the people from time to time, who can fight?" ”
"Then it's just mermaid meat!"
"That's the wisdom of the middle." Xu Dian didn't care at all that the grandfather in front of him was his own food and clothing, just like teaching his children, and said: "Renren mermaid meat is just a stealing life, and the children earn a share of the dragon's work under the East Palace, and it's just a big deal to continue to be a duke for three hundred years." ”
Xu Yunzhen was stunned by Xu Dan's words, and immediately laughed angrily: "The lyricist said, 'Back then, thousands of miles were looking for a marquis', and in your crazy mouth, generations of dukes are like abalone pickles!" ”
Xu Dian pursed his lips: "With my talent, if there is a male lord, the duke of the generation is not more than Erer, but it is just repeating the way of the ancestors." ”
Xu Yunzhen's strategy for the wisdom of this person is no longer acceptable, and he would rather go out and fight hard with the East Palace. The interpersonal context after King Zhongshan may not be without room for a fight. He was about to drive Xu Dan out, but he suddenly wondered what the wise man would think.
"Wait for all wise people," Xu Dan's eyes flickered, "you should know the 'potential'." The reason why the emperor is the emperor and the reason why the prince is the prince is nothing more than the strength of the power. However, even if he is as strong as the emperor, he will be insulted by a weak petty official, this is because the emperor can't kill a petty official? No, it was the petty official who took advantage of the 'morality' trend, so that the emperor's power could not be suppressed. ”
What Xu Dian said was not vague, but an allusion to Jiajing's scolding of Hai Rui in the temple. Emperor Jiajing of the temple can scold hundreds of officials, kill Xia Yan, and chase Yan Song's father and son, and he is really the most powerful emperor under the second ancestor. But he could only lock up Hai Rui, who scolded him. The reason for this is nothing more than that Hai Jui has become a moral benchmark and has a moral momentum.
Now the prince also has this kind of moral trend, in the general belief that "the plague is fiercer than the tiger", even if some people realize that "the prince is fiercer than the plague", how can they curb it? As everyone knows, everyone shouts and beats when the rat crosses the street, and everyone shouts and beats the tiger when it crosses the street, but everyone does not dare to fight.
"You are all empty words, what good is it in the current situation?" Xu Yunzhen said impatiently.
"Serve the East Palace, send outstanding sons to serve as East Palace officials, and do your best to do things for the East Palace." Xu said.
"Haha," Xu Yunzhen said, "isn't this the wisdom of the Chinese people you disdain!" ”
"The wise are not wise." Xu Dan's face did not change and said: "The wise man is just going to earn a share of the dragon's work, but the wise plan is to coerce the prince to order the princes." ”
"Oh?" Xu Yunzhen was stunned when he heard this.
"Don't you remember the thorn scepter?" Xu asked asked.
At that time, Zhu Biao, the prince of Yiwen, was kind and benevolent, and persuaded Emperor Gao not to go on a killing spree. Emperor Gao placed thorn strips on the ground and asked him to pick them up. The prince was afraid of pricking his hands and did not dare to pick them up. Emperor Gao said: "You are afraid of the thorn and dare not take it, I will help you pull out the thorn now, can't you pick it up!" ”
"Why did the civil and military ministers who fought the world with Emperor Gao become thorns after becoming famous? I think that when they had military power in their hands, they pushed the cup and exchanged lamps with Emperor Gao, and they were heart-to-heart, why did they have different aspirations after the founding of the country? Xu Dan's speed of speech became faster and faster: "It's not that they think they can be emperors, but because once they are called lonely, the separation between monarchs and ministers is irrepressible." The emperor needs ministers to do things for him, and the more capable the ministers, the greater the power, and eventually to the extent of restraining the emperor. ”
Xu Yunzhen suddenly felt a little enlightened, and finally knew that his father emphasized "accompanying the king like a tiger" back then, and at the same time, he was reckless and bold to seek benefits for his own family. As long as you don't touch the emperor's dragon beard, you can do whatever you want, once you restrain the emperor, even if you don't have the heart of rebellion, you will inevitably end up with a dead clan.
"If the important places in the East Palace are all the children of the Xu family, who can secretly influence the prince's decision-making, what is the Duke of the Generation?" Xu Duan paused: "The trend of the world is just a separation." In the two hundred and fifty-seventh years of the Ming Dynasty, the universe was unified, and the Tang and Song dynasties were nothing more than that. ”
Xu Yunzhen's heart jumped when he was said: This is to say, is it really going to change the dynasty?
"Shut up!" Xu Yunzhen scolded: "My family is the king of Zhongshan, a family of two people, and has enjoyed the grace of the country for generations, where can you say such a rebellious word!" ”
Xu Dian smiled coldly, didn't answer, just said: "If there is no one among the grandpa's children to send, the students don't mind going for a trip." ”
"I'm afraid you don't have the sharpness of the hair." Xu Yunzhen's face was gloomy.
"If you don't put me in the bag, you don't know that there is no sharpness." Xu Dian got up and shook his sleeves: "The student said goodbye." ”
Xu Yunzhen was so angry that his face was blue and white, and suddenly he shivered, arousing goosebumps, and secretly said in his heart: Could it be that the unruly Wang Zuozhicai written in the book is what he looks like?
……
In August of the sixteenth year of Chongzhen, it has been two months since the prince left the palace for epidemic prevention and disaster relief.
Although there have been some ups and downs, the prosperity of Beijing has gradually returned. The plague has been eradicated from the city, even the beggar Hanako and the refugees. Because these people were all included in the refugee camp outside the city, and those who were in better physical condition could also get a job such as cleaning the streets.
The gradual stabilization of the people's hearts made the prince's prestige rush to a peak again.
It is inconvenient for the people to build a shrine for His Royal Highness the Prince directly at home, so some people take the imaginary appearance and figure of the prince, and crown it with the name of Taiwei Xingjun, and put it in the shrine at home to worship.
Among them, it is naturally indispensable for the Taoist priests who walk the streets and alleys to add fuel to the fire, and talk about Tai Weixing's descent to the earth as if they had seen it in person.
Zhu Cihong dug out a total of 10,000 taels of gold and 300,000 taels of silver from Chengguo's house, and auctioned off the outer house and fields at a discount, and got nearly 200,000 taels, which was more generous than his father's internal money for a while. And this money is not all the income of this Jingshi epidemic prevention campaign.
Because of Zhu Chunchen's letter, the relatives of the Chengguo family donated one after another, which was much more generous than donating to the emperor. This donation alone is as high as 100,000 taels. Then the news of Zhu Chunchen's death came out, and in order to trouble His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to send someone to preside over the funeral of Cheng Guogong, these relatives donated 100,000 taels again, and the palace also sent 3,000 taels of funeral silver.
Of course, Zhu Cihong would not waste the silver on the dead, but just burned the matter.
Song Hongye received a secret order from the crown prince, and spread among the yamen that Zhu Chunchen's copy of the testament was withheld by the prince, and it was a candidate to plead for the canonization of the next Chengguo Gong. In this way, the relatives of the Zhu family had to spend a lot of money, hoping that the prince could say something critical at a critical time, so that his room could also enjoy the treatment of the prince.
The entire Chengguo Gong project lasted for nearly half a month, and a large amount of silver was recorded every day, and Zuihou's income exceeded one million taels.
And that's not all......
