601 The Way of the King (15)
However, what he wants is the unwise prince.
It's just a pity for the little five sons.
There are brocade guards in the capital, and there are celebrant supervisors in the palace, which can be described as an iron bucket - he cultivated the henchman of Xiao Wuzi, and spent a lot of effort, but he was abolished by Changchun Palace with one move.
But Xiao Wuzi is very smart.
Knowing this, you can 'keep' Changchun Palace.
Only when this step goes smoothly can Changchun Palace have the courage to go down-
"The prince is in a bad situation now, does the master want to come forward?" Zhang Fu asked.
"Don't be in a hurry, it's not time yet."
Ji Xiao closed his eyes again.
He led Changchun Palace to deal with the prince, one was to use this matter to get rid of Wan Guifei, and the other was to show favor to the prince at the last moment.
Three - there is another person who has lived for too long.
Really, it's too much of a hindrance.
……
That night, after Zhang Qiuchi accompanied his father to send off several adults, he went to Yuyuan.
"Second sister can rest?"
Zhang Meishou, who was reading a book on the couch in the inner room, faintly heard his brother's voice.
Sure enough, after a while, Ah Li came in and said, "Girl, the eldest prince is here." ”
Zhang Meishou had already gotten up from the couch first, tidied up his dress a little, and walked out of the inner room.
"Big brother, what's the matter?" Zhang Meishou asked, motioning for Zhang Qiuchi to sit down and speak.
Ah Li retreated to prepare tea.
"Second sister, several adults came to the door today, and I heard some news about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince from the mouths of several adults."
Yesterday, he had specially inquired about the princes of the official families who had intersected with him, and learned that the emperor was now hesitant about the sacrifice of Mount Tai.
And today, I heard that this matter is related to the prince.
"Big brother, you might as well talk more carefully." Zhang Meishou sat down, his face full of justice.
It is said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that Mount Tai will move, so that the emperor hesitated about Mount Tai's trip - but the ministers felt that this was nonsense, it is said that in persuading the emperor to leave as scheduled, there were also insinuations that His Royal Highness the Prince's words and deeds were inappropriate...... Even ill-intentioned. ”
Zhang Qiuchi spoke, his eyes were slightly worried.
This situation is obviously very unfavorable to Ji'an.
"These words, but Lord Liu, what did they say?" Zhang Meishou asked.
She paid special attention to this matter, and naturally faintly heard some rumors.
Zhang Qiuchi nodded.
"Lord Liu and the others intend to enter the palace together tomorrow to face the saint, and try their best to relieve the siege for the prince, and my father should also go."
After several years of getting along, several adults are convinced of the character of His Royal Highness the Prince, and they will not measure this matter with any ulterior intentions.
It's just that...... said that it was to solve the prince's current predicament, but several adults seemed to be ready to fight other officials.
and secretly discussed carefully, where to start, and how to use benevolence and filial piety to break the conspiracy theory-
In order to improve the chances of winning, he also roughly rehearsed, and asked his second uncle to point out the deficiencies and correct them.
Because of excessive investment, I didn't even use much for dinner, and it was rare that I didn't get a drop of wine.
Therefore, I want to come tomorrow...... It will be a fierce battle.
Zhang Qiuchi was worried, but also inexplicably regretted that he couldn't witness such a grand occasion with his own eyes.
So, I told my second sister about these too.
Zhang Meishou wanted to laugh a little when he heard it, but he was more moved.
Sure enough, even if many things have changed from the previous life, they are still similar in the dark.
In fact, since the founding of the Dajing Dynasty, there has been a bit of mutual checks and balances between the civil servants and the emperor.
But during the reign of Zhu Youzhang, the monarch and the ministers were rarely harmonious. Even the most useful ministers still refuse to give office when they are old and sick, and they are sincere and sympathetic, and in their later years, they would rather bear the name of greed and glory, and they are willing to die of old age.
At that time, Dajing could be called the word prosperous.
After his death, those old ministers, even if they were gradually disappointed in the court, were still able to assist the new monarch with all their hearts - until later, when they were really discouraged and unable to turn around, they had to beg for resignation and return.
Now, he has not yet reached the throne of the emperor, but he still inadvertently won the trust and respect of many adults.
Treat people with sincerity and morality, and get people to treat each other with sincerity.
"What does the emperor mean now? Mount Tai sacrifice, is it to go or not? Zhang Meishou came back to his senses and asked Zhang Qiuchi about it.
Zhu Youji's current situation is certainly not good, but as he said before, this is just a temporary noise, and it will subside afterwards.
The key now is the emperor's decision.
And this decision is divided into two places.
One is whether the Taishan sacrifice ceremony should be canceled.
"The emperor had the intention of canceling the sacrifice before, but many ministers insisted on persuading each other, and there has been no result yet." As Zhang Qiuchi spoke, he carefully looked at his sister's expression.
"Is there any mention of sending a messenger to Tai'an Prefecture to evacuate the people?" Zhang Meishou asked again.
That's the second one.
Zhang Qiuchi shook his head even more.
"There hasn't been a word yet."
Zhang Meishou was silent for a moment.
In other words, even if the emperor intended to cancel the sacrifice before, he never planned to send the Qin messenger there.
"It is reported that a few days ago, the emperor specially ordered Qin Tianjian to go to Mount Tai to predict...... The results were not half different. Zhang Qiuchi's voice was lower.
This is the news that Lord Liu bothered to inquire from Li Dongyang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and it is not easy for others to know.
Zhang Meishou sighed slightly and said: "Natural disasters are unpredictable, how can we conclude that there will be no earth movement based on this alone." ”
Zhang Qiuchi also sighed.
"There is nothing to do, and if you rashly issue an order to alienate the people, it will damage the prestige of the imperial court. In order to seek peace of mind, the emperor can cancel the sacrificial trip, but if he wants to announce that Mount Tai is about to move to the public, in the end it will not be done...... It's really not easy to end. ”
At the end, he said: "What's more, now there are Wenchen pressure. ”
"The eldest brother is very objective and reasonable."
Zhang Meishou looked at the night outside the hall and said in a low voice: "In order to maintain the prestige of the Dajing Imperial Court, this is a way to be a king-but, for the way of a king, there should be the word benevolence." ”
This is what she saw from Zhu Youzhang.
She even believes that if he were to be swapped with the emperor today, even if he didn't know what the outcome would be, he would try his best to dispel public opinion and alienate the people early.
Because, he will not gamble this layer of face with anyone who has failed the lives of the people.
But she is not incomprehensible to the Holy Lord's decision today.
In the end, when Zhu Youzhu was in power, he was used to being wise, and he occasionally made wrong decisions, but also out of love for the people.
And today's saints are absurd.
A person has done too many ridiculous things, and once he does it wrong, he will be branded as ridiculous and stupid.
…… Speaking of which, he still blames himself - in the end, no one is pressing his head, forcing him to be ridiculous.
If you do something ridiculous, you will naturally have to bear the consequences. Therefore, it is difficult to convince the public to make a decision, and he can't complain that others deliberately target him.
