Zhu Cihong got the transcript of Nanchen's request to establish a prison state, and heard that the imperial father and the imperial mother were very angry.

It's no wonder that those people were all losers of Beijing's political struggle and retired in Nanjing. The emperor was angry when he saw the names of Qian Qianyi and Liu Zongzhou, not to mention that he still talked about sensitive issues involving imperial power such as supervising the country.

The matter was so big that Wu Fu personally rushed from Tai'an Prefecture to Dezhou with the second and third chiefs overnight and handed over the manuscript to the crown prince.

"Yo, do the ministers of the Southern Capital regard me as a Warat?" Zhu Cihong said with a smile.

In that year, Emperor Yingzong personally recruited, and the army was defeated and captured, which was the change of Tumubao. At that time, the leader of Wara also coerced Emperor Yingzong to enter Beijing, thinking that the Ming Dynasty would be softened because of this, who knew that the ministers of the Ming Dynasty set up another King Yu as the emperor, respected Yingzong as the emperor, held on to Beijing, and finally repelled the invasion of Yexian.

At that time, Yu Qian, the squire of the military department who presided over this battle, later entered the Shangshu, also became a famous minister who made great contributions to the imperial court.

Now the ministers of the southern capital are unwilling to follow the order to Shandong to listen to the use, but want to establish a prison state in Nanjing, isn't this a clear view of the crown prince as a traitor who holds the emperor hostage?

Wu Fu said: "There must be another mystery in this matter. The ministers of the southern capital asked for the establishment of the Lu domain to supervise the state, but the king of Lu is the nephew of the temple, the uncle of the current saint, and the non-compliance system under the long-term visitor. The minister thought that they had been used as gunmen. ”

"Oh? Who is it? ”

"He wants to make King Fu the prisoner of the country." Wu Fu said: "The Fu domain is closer to the blood line than the Lu domain, if someone mentions the Lu domain, there will definitely be people who oppose this proposal on the grounds of bloodline, so the focus of the discussion is not whether to establish a prison state, but which domain to establish as a prison country." ”

Zhu Cihong smiled. Many small jokes in later generations have exposed this psychological trick. If the person who sells egg cakes asks "whether to add eggs", many people will say no. But change it to "add one egg or two eggs", and more people will choose the number of eggs. and ignore whether you really need to add eggs.

This time, in order to create greater psychological hints for the southern ministers, there must be a lot of rumors about smearing the East Palace, which makes people have a sense of disloyalty to the emperor if they do not establish a prison state.

"This was all a small method of party struggle in the past, and it couldn't be put on the table, but now it can still be popular." Wu Fu said with emotion.

"When people are over forty, don't expect to change their way of thinking." Zhu Cihong disagreed: "They want to set up a vassal king and supervise the country." Can the imperial father still go to Nanjing? ”

"How dare you?" Wu Fu said: "I dare to discuss such things as the election of the prison state, how can I ensure that no one among them has a reckless heart?" Nanjing is no better than Beijing, and the Beijing camp and the mausoleum guards are all reliable ministers in the pacification. ”

"When Mr. said that, I think they killed two birds with one stone." Zhu Cihong said: "I don't let the imperial father go south, but I also have the opportunity to choose a puppet and leave the court right." If you can get one of the two, you will make a lot of money. It seems that I am also notorious, afraid that I will collect land and money in the past. haha。 ”

Wu Fu didn't agree with the crown prince's trick in Shandong, and always felt that it was a legacy of the Legalists. But do extraordinary things in extraordinary times. It didn't come to him, so let it be. If the saint is lucky, then his family, as a wealthy family in Xinghua, will inevitably be affected, but the prince is still willing to protect him.

"But that's fine," Zhu Cihong said, "let my father recognize the faces of these Nanchen, if the emperor really wants to go south." I'm still a little worried. ”

"Your Highness, this matter is not trivial." Wu Fu is not as optimistic as Zhu Cihong. He said: "Why did Taizu order to supervise the country with the crown prince? Why did you become an ancestor and supervise the country with the son of the world? This in itself is a move to legislate for the whole world. Once there is a vassal king in charge of the state, it is bound to form a party around it. Even if the vassal king himself has no intention of honoring the throne, these people will do the yellow robe in order to make a decision and follow the dragon's skills! This is a bad omen for the country! ”

"Mr. Wu." Zhu Cihong didn't hide it, "I'm based in Shandong, and I'd rather watch the people starve to death under my rule than rely on Jiangnan - of course, these 300,000 Shicao grains did help a lot." I was also relieved. What I mean by this is that if they make trouble in the south of the Yangtze River, when I gain a firm foothold in the north and teach more administrators, I will naturally recover the south step by step. Is there a prison country that has anything to do with me? I am the crown prince of Huangming, and the emperor's father has already informed the world, do these people dare to say that we are fake? Even if they dare to say that my father and son are fake, dare to say that the elite soldiers of the East Palace are fake? ”

- Jiangnan is really an additive, and if you can use it, you can pick it up for nothing.

Wu Fu smiled bitterly and said, "Your Highness, if you want to be right in the world, you must be careful about things after all, so as not to leave a bad reputation for future generations." ”

Zhu Cihong shook his head slightly: "I can't say this, if I can be in charge of national politics for 20 years, the result of a mixed reputation will be very good." ”

"That's not going to happen." Wu Fu said with a smile: "Your Highness's actions are certainly suspected of being a legalist, but it is also a matter of great attention to turn the tide. Those corrupt arguments are not to be worried. Just pay attention to the subsections, the subsections. ”

"Mr. Wu, if I say that I prefer to see a hundred schools of thought contending, is it a bit too rebellious?" Zhu Cihong asked jokingly.

"Haha," Wu Fu said with a smile, "Your Highness's deviant words are so many, I have long been accustomed to them. But speaking of these hundred schools of thought, doesn't Your Highness think that this is the case a long time ago? Mind Learning, Outer Confucianism, Inner Zen; Taixi Tianxue is attached to Confucianism, but it is actually the art of agriculture and ink. As for He Xinyin and his ilk, they imitated the law and practiced ink and thought they were Confucian. In contrast, His Royal Highness did not stand out in Shandong after all, but just used thunderous means. ”

"So you see it this way," Zhu Cihong discussed ideological issues with scholars for the first time, "Actually, I really don't think Confucianism is suitable for governing the country." In my opinion, jurisprudence is more suitable for the people, agriculture and ink are more suitable for raising the people, and Confucianism is plausible, and I always feel a little chicken. ”

"Your Highness, can you cure "Spring and Autumn"?" Wu Fu asked.

"Slightly."

Wu Fu nodded and said: "The original scripture of the imperial examination is "Spring and Autumn", and I have also put some effort into "Ram". He saw that Zhu Cihong did not show impatience, and said: "At that time, the Han family respected Huang Lao and recuperated. For the powerful, they will go to their greed and luxury; to the people, to destroy their greed, hatred, and poison. Therefore, it can heal the 300-year Warring States Rebellion and lay the foundation of the prosperous era. ”

Zhu Cihong changed his posture and listened carefully. He only had a taste of traditional learning, and when he was involved in Guanxue last time, he had already found that he lacked cultural heritage, but he was not very old on the surface, and those great Confucians did not despise it, but agreed with the prince's studious attitude.

"Han Wu deposed a hundred schools and respected Confucianism, but in fact, it was Ram Confucianism. At that time, the three generations of the Han family were recuperating and the treasury was full, and there was no longer a need to practice frugality and restore the people's strength, but needed a kind of hatred for the enemy. Wu Fu said slowly, for fear that the prince had not seen this history book.

Zhu Cihong nodded and said: "I know this, Han Wu wants to seek revenge from the Xiongnu, and the important ministers of the court are generally afraid of suffering the shame of the siege of Baideng again, so they just want to avoid things with their relatives and hinder them in many ways. ”

"Exactly," Wu Fu is also accustomed to the high level of understanding of the prince, "The Ram" begins with the words 'great unification', in today's words, it is necessary to have the same desire and unity. This is exactly what Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty wanted. ”

-- Unified thinking, a country can only have one official ideology.

Zhu Cihong nodded and said, "This point will indeed be left for eternity." ”

This is true not only in China, but also in Europe. The so-called "Renaissance" and "Ideological Enlightenment" in the West are nothing more than the overthrow of the old ruling ideology with a new unified idea. It seems to emancipate the mind, but in the final analysis, the root of it is to promote the so-called "universal values", that is, the so-called "great unification" of Confucianism.

If the national and global values are aligned, they will naturally be able to follow a rule of the game, and there will be no need to worry about someone flipping the table. As for whose rules of the game are used, it depends on whose fist is bigger.

"The second is revenge." Wu Fu said: "Confucianism is ashamed, because it is shameful, so revenge is heavy." There is a question: Can the revenge of the ninth generation and above be revenged? The ram Confucian replied: As long as it is a national enemy, what is the ninth generation? All generations should take revenge! ”

Zhu Cihong stroked his palms and smiled: "If I am Han Wu, just these two benefits, I have to respect the Ram Confucian, which is really wonderful!" ”

"Exactly," Wu Fu said with a smile, "How many Confucian scholars originally opposed the sending of troops to the Xiongnu, and as soon as they raised the national shame and hatred of the country, they could only keep their mouths shut and stand on the side of Han Wu." It is precisely because of this unity that Emperor Wu once had the feat of striking the Huns several times. ”

Zhu Cihong suddenly had some feelings, as if he saw an opportunity to implement his thoughts. He said: "These days, please ask Mr. to work hard and explain the meaning of "Ram" to me, can you?" ”

"I don't dare to ask for ears." Wu Fu was overjoyed and agreed. He turned around and said, "Your Highness, the recent military affairs ......"

"I don't have to worry about military affairs all the time," Zhu Cihong said with a smile, "Not to mention that the death of Bahana and Shi Tingzhu is approaching, so don't worry about it." ”

Wu Fu is very cautious about military affairs, he was still a "knowing soldier" in the Chongzhen Dynasty, but followed the crown prince around most of China, and found that fighting and the emperor were not as simple as he imagined, and he was even more glad that he did not accept the emperor's will at the beginning, and would rather go to prison than supervise.

"Your Highness, the Dongyu has always had more victories and fewer defeats against the officers and soldiers of our court, and with 4,000 armor soldiers, I am afraid that I cannot underestimate the enemy." Wu Fu still persuaded.

"Please rest assured, sir." Zhu Cihong said: "Under my command, the departments and departments have done their duty, only their duties, so they can 'make a single source of profit and use ten times the teacher'." ”

Wu Fu knew that this was the crown prince's suggestion that he should not rashly discuss matters outside his jurisdiction, and said nothing more. He also knows that many of the things that the imperial court wants to do are disturbed by non-professional discussions, but when he encounters issues he cares about, he still inevitably has such a bad habit.

"If you are not in your position, you will not seek your own government, this is the way to do things." Wu Fu said with emotion. (To be continued......)
