Chapter 71: The Wind Rises in the Forbidden City

Jingshan, Wanchun Pavilion. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

In the ancient cypress pine, the green tiles and yellow shear, the heavy eaves are delineated, and they are covered in the meantime.

Yuxiu followed behind Xuanguang, and when he entered the Wanchun Pavilion, Xuanguang had already rested for a few moments, panting.

"Sit, sit with me for a while." Xuanguang gasped and sat still, looking at his prince with pity, "Look! He walked the way.

Overlooking to the south, the palace of the Forbidden City is majestic, the yellow tile cornices, continuous into a piece, magnificent, looking to the west, the surface of Zhongnanhai and Beihai Sea is sparkling, a good palace scenery!

"This wind blows the waves on the surface of the sea, well, this storm, Yuxiu, do you understand it?" Xuanguang looked at Yuxiu with a smile.

"Don't blame the emperor, the sons seem to understand, but they seem to be confused." Yuxiu hesitated for a moment, "This turmoil began with the murder of Cheng Wenyun, and ended with the two princes cutting their knights, guarding the tomb, and confining them, and the court pattern was reorganized, but, according to Erchen, Jieshu and Jiershu fell, and it was the sixth uncle and the old Prince Zheng who benefited the most," he looked at Xuanguang, "but the two factions and the four major factions in the court and Zhang and E have also made gains, and it is a happy situation." ”

"Well, it's Jinyi," Xuanguang stroked his knees and smiled, "Being able to see this shows that you have put your mind to it, well, on the surface, your sixth uncle has gained the most, and it will be ...... after a hundred years."

"Huang Ama—" Yuxiu exclaimed.

Xuanguang smiled and waved his hand, "People, born like candles, have a day when the lamp withers and dries,...... Alas," he seemed to be overwhelmed, "a hundred years later, the only one who can compete with your sixth uncle for the throne is Jiershu, and now that Jiershu has fallen, there is no one in the Eight Banners to compete with him, and he has already intervened in the Fengtai camp and the camps in the capital, and there are not a few of the six departments and the governors of the provinces who are interested in him. ”

Yuxiu nodded, "Cheng Wenyun's death did give Sixth Uncle a chance. ”

"Your sixth uncle's thoughts, I understand, he understands that I want to implement new learning and even a new policy, and make the country rich and strong, but he wants to use the implementation of new learning to break the power structure and integrate the power of the court, while Ji Ershu wants to use opposition to the implementation of new learning to attack your sixth uncle, the two of them, I am like watching the fire." Xuanguang smiled and stretched out his hand, and squeezed it hard, "It's all expected." ”

Seeing that Yuxiu was about to speak, he waved his hand, "What I didn't expect was that this time, it was Zhenghongqi who jumped out first, stretched out his head and took this knife, in fact, Zhenghongqi and these people are all martial artists, and there are also drunken gaffes, and it cannot be concluded that they are the masterminds behind the murder of Cheng Wenyun...... However, your sixth uncle and the old Prince Zheng are attacking the red flag, if they don't have my consent, how can they move the masterpiece? ”

"As we all know, murder cases are extremely secretive, some have clues to be found, and some have no clues at all. Murder will not stir up the crowd and make a big noise, everything is to hide in the dark corner and act at the opportunity. ”

"After the perpetrators fled, all kinds of 'rumors' that sensationalized the situation and confused the public and the public, after the incident, the rumors that were true and false, right and wrong, and rumors that spread and disappeared were all deliberately done by someone. Some people are speculated, suspected, and even put themselves at risk; Some people are eager to wash their hands, and whistleblowers and whistleblowers are popular; There are even those who are afraid that the world will not be chaotic, and they will take the opportunity to add fuel to the fire and make waves. ”

"This situation gives your sixth uncle and Prince Zheng, who are in charge of the Cheng Wenyun case, an opportunity to take advantage of it, who do you think arranged the whistleblower Zhiqi of the patrol camp, and chose the patrol camp that I trust the most and is also in charge of the patrol camp, they really don't know? It's that Ji Erle didn't bend the law for bribes, and your sixth uncle took out the case of the fire in Xian'an Palace, and all the evidence and testimony pointed to Ji Ershu...... They just seized the opportunity of Cheng Wenyun's death to play such a big game of chess. ”

"Huang Ama, do you mean that the sixth uncle and Prince Zheng have united?" Yuxiu asked.

"Hehe, silly boy, union does not have to be a covenant, in the face of common interests, there is no need to say more, action is the best proof." Xuanguang looked at Yuxiu, "Your sixth uncle and Prince Zheng took the opportunity of handling the case, taking advantage of this treacherous situation, and using iron hands to promote this game. This process, to put it bluntly, is a new power dump performed under the banner of Xinxue, and the final result is that Jieshu guards the mausoleum, and Jiershu is banned. ”

"Don't you understand?" Xuanguang said with a smile, "Prince Zheng helped your sixth uncle to squeeze out Jiershu, which is to clear the way for your sixth uncle to fight for a big position in the future; Your sixth uncle helped Prince Zheng to squeeze out Jieshu, so that Prince Zheng was in charge of the Council of Ministers of the King alone. The two of them take what they need, no need to say it explicitly, try to see the two of them, these days, how tacit they have cooperated, how old the methods are, hehe, your sixth uncle is really a step-by-step camp to Jiershu, and the organs are exhausted. ”

"You can see it all, and you still allow them to do this?" Yuxiu was puzzled.

Xuanguang looked at the white clouds above the Forbidden City, and said with a smile, "The white clouds have been empty for thousands of years, as the lord of a country, you and the courtiers have fallen into the inferior class by chance." He picked up the teacup, but he was not in a hurry to drink tea, "Who is the hunter, who is the prey, who is right and who is wrong, the Son of Heaven knows in his heart." They fight them, you are watching, this is not to listen to, just like the cricket, you use the grass root to gently flick, four taels can move a thousand catties, no matter how hard they fight, they can never escape from your palm. ”

He took a sip of tea and stood up, pacing slowly, and said, "Zhang Fengzao will meet Jiershu at night, he will play it in advance, I know it, it is me, I told Zhang Fengzao to be with the snake, what Ji Ershu said, just promise him, give him the courage, and let Ji Ershu let go and do it." ”

Yuxiu was stunned when he heard this, he looked up at Xuanguang, and was very suspicious of his ears.

Xuanguang continued to follow his own train of thought and said, "This gave Ji Ershu the courage, thinking that Zhang Fengzao was on his side, and the turmoil in the provinces below, I didn't care about it at first, and I also secretly told some governors, treated it coldly, and let Na Ziershu toss." ”

"I know that Jiershu is a hero, but his wrist is not as good as your sixth uncle,...... Don't let Ji Ershu participate in the Cheng Wenyun case, arrest Ji Erle, and monitor Prince Li's mansion, your sixth uncle took out the case of the fire in Xian'an Palace, just to force him to rebel, I don't want to send it, I also want to see what other charter your sixth uncle and Prince Zheng can use, but I didn't expect Ji Erle to have an accident, Ji Ershu took a risk, and forced him to rebel early,......"

Yuxiu suddenly realized, "Fortunately, Ha Bao led the three battalions of the forbidden army to arrive in time, as well as that Zhang Fengming took the lead in advocating the Wang Division, and led the Red Banner to escort King Qin. ”

Xuanguang looked at him, "Yuxiu, you have to remember that politics, there is no if, and there is no luck, these words should not come out of your mouth." ”

Yuxiu's face flushed, but she heard Xuanguang continue, "Things are really in a hurry, didn't I take precautions in advance?" He said word by word, "Ha Bao, it is an ambush that I arranged in advance, just to prevent accidents,...... I ordered Ha Bao to take charge of the three battalions of the forbidden army in advance, and the Xiao Cavalry Battalion was full of the elite of the Eight Banners, and the combat power of the guard battalion and the forward battalion was also higher than that of the Zhenghuang Banner. ”

Yuxiu looked at Xuanguang, "Then the king of the council and the minister of the study entered the palace together, and it was also arranged by your father, the emperor, at first, I was really shocked, if these people were blocked in the mansion by Ji Ershu and held in their hands, things would not be easy to do." ”

"Hehe, draw inferences from one another, and integrate the bypass, not bad!" Emperor Xuanguang glanced at him appreciatively, "When these people entered the palace, I also ordered someone to pass the word in advance, how can Ji Ershu's every move be hidden from me?" In fact, with Ji Erle and a three-grade Shuntian Mansion Yin, can he use several ministers to enter the palace to discuss together? ”

Yuxiu said, "Huang Ama is wise and far-reaching, otherwise, it will almost cause a big change." ”

Xuanguang looked at him, "Do you think that I did this to cut off the two princes Kang and Li through the hands of your sixth uncle and Prince Zheng?" ”

Yuxiu was stunned for a moment, she said it so clearly, didn't she? He saluted, "Please make it clear to Amma." ”

Xuanguang sighed, "Do you still remember the calligraphy couplet in the West Warm Pavilion of the Heart Cultivation Palace?" ”

"Remember, if there is only one man who rules the world, how can he serve one man for the world." Yuxiu replied.

"Well, a monarch has a good heart, no selfish interests and no selfish desires in his heart, and everything he thinks and does is for the common people in the world, which is also consistent with the way of the university,...... In Mingmingde, in the people, in the perfection. ”

"This heart is right, and the use of power and strategy is the right way. Didn't I say that on the surface they are the biggest winners, but in fact, the biggest winners are me! ”

Yuxiu was speechless, he could only listen quietly to his father's explanation.

"The Eight Banners were originally the foundation of the Great Jin Dynasty, but you look at these Eight Banners disciples, the birds who walk the birds, and the people who hold the opera," Emperor Xuanguang was disgusted for a while, "The flag reform implemented at the beginning of my succession, let them farm, give them land to plant, and they were all sold for silver!" The flag reform has existed in name only! …… I have thought about it, for the sake of the country, it is better to simply reduce the power of the Eight Banners, and all the power of the Eight Banners will be returned to the imperial court! ”

"Father!" Yuxiu was surprised, cutting down the Eight Banners, he knew the weight in it too well.

"I know your intentions," Xuanguang's eyes flashed with a decisive gaze, "The appointment and dismissal of the generals of the Eight Banners is subject to their respective banner owners, and the minions under their banners are divided into various places as officials, and the decrees of the imperial court, the implementation of the Eight Banners will be discounted, so that the stumbling blocks, the Eight Banners owners disrupt government affairs, and there are countless cases of meddling in cases, and the governors of various places have a great response,...... These Eight Banners are actually the biggest friends! ”

"I just want to clean up this friend party, the other five banners, the Zhang party, the Hubei party, the four major factions,...... Friends, since ancient times, can not be prevented, wildfires are inexhaustible, the spring breeze blows and grows, the rise and fall of chaos, must be learned! There are friends in the party, these many major policies can not be implemented, or for the constraints, but serious illnesses should not be used with fierce medicine, many government affairs, and can not rely on friends, so the road must be taken step by step, things must be slowed down, and we must learn to take advantage of the situation, such as borrowing the momentum of the written case,...... Well, don't rush it. ”

Speaking of this, he seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, "These two flags, yellow and red, although Chang Adai and Gao Sai continue to be princes, but the flag affairs, the court must intervene, and the power in the flag must be slowly collected by the court. ”

Yuxiu couldn't help but realize, "Erchen understands, the implementation of new learning, Huang Ama means that it can enlighten the people's wisdom, cultivate talents, enrich the country, help the people, and strengthen the army; the second is to use the dispute of new learning to disrupt factions and divide friends; The third is to reduce the Eight Banners, collect the power of the Eight Banners, strengthen the orders of the imperial court, and carry out the reform of flag affairs. Looking at Xuanguang's appreciative eyes, he asked again, "Then how should I deal with the sixth uncle in the future?" ”

"Your sixth uncle is staring at this throne, the Great Jin Dynasty has experienced four generations, and there has never been a precedent for a prince to inherit the throne, Chang Adai was also a prince, and he also wanted to seek a throne, but he has been suppressed for many years,...... The position of the emperor, according to the practice of this dynasty, is finally selected by the ministers of the king,...... Yuxiu, your virtue is too far from your sixth uncle, he is also in the prime of life, and he also wants to do something, if he supports the implementation of new learning, the establishment of a new policy, and the reform of the disadvantages of this dynasty from the bottom of his heart, Huang Ama will support him, if he can't, if Huang Ama still has time, I will clean up these factions and give you a stable country, then you have to work harder. ”

Yu Xiu suddenly felt a little heavy, and he nodded heavily.

"Xian'an Palace, according to your sixth uncle's idea, these 90 people will all be delegated to various counties in the future, more than 2,000 counties in the country, according to the ability of these people, they will be promoted to the prefect in a year and a half, which accounts for one-twentieth of the country, next year Xihuamen will open up another place, Xian'an Palace will expand its scale, then how many county governments let these people go to the officials, these people, but they are all the descendants of your sixth uncle, he is this, he can see far, I am also ashamed."
