Ruan Dayue slapped the table angrily: "I should have known that I should have been tougher on these old stubborns!" It's good now, give this problem to Your Majesty, but it turned out that Huiwang Zhu Cihong seized the opportunity, who can't see that this is Your Majesty's reward for his ability to subdue the scholars! ”

"You should call him His Royal Highness the Crown Prince now, not Zhu Cihong, the king of Hui, pay attention to your words."

Ma Shiying said with a sneer.

Ruan Dayue was angry: "Awkward! We don't really want to change the court and put on a smiling face at him Zhu Cihong, right? ”

"If you put on a smiling face, people have to accept it!"

Ma Shiying waved his hand: "However, you are right, it was the old man's mistake, and it is true that there is no fault caused by being too tough, these scholars, he Zhu Cihong soothed and promised to make them submit, if the official really used the butcher's knife, they would also give in;

From now on, the old man will not only continue to fight with him Zhu Cihong, but also fight more ruthlessly, the new policy will continue to increase its efforts, this is not to give His Majesty a job, but also to make the factory owners better to make a fortune, so that the court can fight better, those few who took the lead in resisting the release of slaves, all of them were detained, and they were detained in the Criminal Department on the grounds of resisting the new policy and obstructing the imperial decrees. ”

"The Cairo who took the lead in the boycott is Zhu Cihong's father-in-law, if you really kill him, you will completely break with Zhu Cihong, don't forget, he is now the crown prince," Ruan Dayue reminded.

"Do you think he, the prince, can really be a long-term prince, others don't know, and I, Ma Shiying, don't know it yet? He promised the gentry that when he became emperor in the future, he would restore the old government, and even abolish the Generalissimo's Mansion and implement the policy of unifying the military with civil affairs, otherwise do you think that just by virtue of his status as the eldest son, so many ministers can really support him? And the ministers also know that His Majesty is very dissatisfied with him Zhu Cihong! ”

Ma Shiying patted Ruan Dayue as he spoke: "Brother Tai, you still haven't seen it clearly, this is not a matter of choosing which prince to be the emperor, this is a question of how to go after the Ming Dynasty, they support Zhu Cihong, who is the head of the dynasty, is to support the old government, that is, to oppose Your Majesty, Your Majesty knows better than us, and it is bigger than our situation, Your Majesty is waiting to wipe them out." ”

"According to what you say, as soon as he Zhu Cihong becomes the crown prince, these people will not be far from death?" Ruan Dayue asked.

"Exactly! But this is also a lesson from His Majesty to us, if we are tough, it will not be like this, maybe Your Majesty has already done it, and now Your Majesty is probably waiting for our reaction, he Zhu Cihong became the prince, and there is no need to hide the matter between us and the second prince, you immediately contact King Ding, and let him find a way to let Xia Wanchun return to Beijing! ”

Ma Shiying said.

Ruan Dayue thought for a while and said: "Why did you let Xia Wanchun return to Beijing, he is now the governor of the Northeast, controlling the military and political power in the Northeast, and even bearing the heavy responsibility of exterminating the remnants of the Manchu Dynasty, do you think he can return to Beijing, he and Yan Yingyuan have been comparing, as the champion of the Ming Dynasty, he is not as good as a canon, this is a thorn in his heart, do you think he will let go of the important position of the governor of the Northeast and return to Beijing?" ”

"But he is the only one who can let Xu Zhaohua leave the celebrant eunuch! Your Majesty doesn't know whether he believes in the Buddha or is possessed by the Bodhisattva, and pays attention to human nature, or maybe for the sake of population growth, the eunuch system has been banned, and women have been allowed to preside over the inner court, but now there are not many women who can preside over the inner court, so let Xu Zhaohua, the celebrant who is involved with the prince's party, write alone in the inner court, if she didn't help from it, Zhu Cihong would not know about the discussion between the official and His Majesty! ”

"So Xu Zhaohua must be removed, but His Majesty is unwilling to admit that there is a problem with the strategy of letting the female official preside over the inner court, and he will not easily let Xu Zhaohua out of the inner court, so he can only let Xia Wanchun return to Beijing and marry Xu Zhaohua, this marriage contract was made by His Majesty himself, and now when Xia Wanchun comes back, we will help His Majesty promise, she Xu Zhaohua has to agree, and the old man dares to conclude that His Majesty will also force her to agree! We're going to force her to say yes, too! ”

As soon as Ma Shiying said this, Ruan Dayue understood what he meant: "I will give the king a message, but are you sure that the king can say that Xia Wanchun can return to Beijing, and if you want to remove him from the post of governor, your majesty must personally decree it." ”

"This doesn't matter, if King Ding doesn't even have the means to let Xia Wanchun return to Beijing, we also worry so much about him in vain, there are still a few princes, maybe it's better to find a younger one again."

Ma Shiying smiled coldly.

……

Yongwang Zhu Cihuan was very unhappy here, and said to Hua Yuncheng: "I didn't expect that my father would easily agree to restore him Zhu Cihong's position as the crown prince, what can he Zhu Cihong do, if he becomes the emperor, I will have to return to Chongzhen seventeen years ago!" ”

"He Zhu Cihong is incapable, but his identity as the eldest son of the eldest son has made many gentry who are dissatisfied with the new policy that His Majesty has implemented since the seventeenth year of Chongzhen see the hope of restoring the ancestral system, as long as Zhu Cihong becomes the emperor, Confucian orthodoxy can continue to exist and even restore to its previous status, which is why so many scholars are willing to exchange the current compromise for his Zhu Cihong's crown prince! Because as soon as Zhu Cihong ascended the throne, they had a reason to restore the old policy! ”

Hua Yuncheng said and said: "At the end of the day, these talents don't matter whether the current prince is virtuous or stupid, whoever can let them enjoy the privileges as before is the emperor they support, so ah, His Royal Highness Yongwang, if one day he Zhu Cihong is gone, you have to have some concept of government after being the emperor, and it is best to have the same concept as these officials, so that they can choose you to support you, which is better than you sending gold and silver treasures." ”

"This king understands what you mean, he Zhu Cihong will win because the officials can see in him the hope of restoring the old government, in this case, this king wants them to know that in Zhu Cihong, they just see, in this king, not only can they see but also see this king's proposition!"

Yongwang Zhu Cihuan laughed again after saying this: "But Zhu Cihong can't stay in the position of the crown prince all the time, the longer he stays, the more people will support him, I want to pull him down in advance, and let him never recover, and there will be no chance to turn over." ”

"In this case, there is only one way, which is to instigate him to rebel, but do you think he Zhu Cihong will do this?" Hua Yuncheng asked.

"Others may not, but he Zhu Cihong I know very well, he is a person with soft ears and a straw bag, don't forget that I am his best third brother, of course, he will not let him succeed."

Yongwang Zhu Cihuan said with a smile.
