Chapter 17: Chitose, the eldest grandson of the emperor!
"Boom! Thundered! ”
The deafening sound of lightning and thunder seemed to shake the entire palace.
For a while, the wind blew fiercely, causing the door of the palace to creak, and finally the door was blown open by the strong wind, and the whirring wind poured into the study room, blowing Zhu Di's eyes can't open.
The eunuchs on both sides ran over and closed the door with difficulty.
Zhu Di felt that something was wrong, so he walked to the door of the study room and looked up at the sky.
At this moment, there was a clattering sound.
The thunder slashed down wildly, and the night was split into day!
Between the lightning and thunder, those thunderbolts were like a real dragon circling, as if they were soaring dragons.
This kind of scene is so terrifying that it has been seen for a long time.
Zhu Di stood at the door of the Shang study, looked at this terrifying celestial phenomenon, and then looked at the holy decree in his hand: "I just gave the eldest grandson of the emperor, and the celestial phenomena have produced such changes, hahaha......"
"My grandson is the man of destiny!"
"Haha, the destiny is him, the destiny is his!"
"The night splits out the day, it is for the appearance of the great sheng, the peak of the Ming Dynasty, opened by him!"
Under the daylight, Zhu Di stood alone at the door of Shang Shufang, smiling very happily.
Grandpa Tai didn't lie to him, the descendants of the heirloom will be prosperous forever!
Ji Gang, who was kneeling on the ground, was also shocked by this scene as bright as day.
He was shocked in his heart, and suddenly he remembered a rumor, a rumor that Zhu Zhanji had just been born.
It is reported that on the day Zhu Zhanji was born, the emperor dreamed of his grandfather, handed him a big gui, and said: "The descendants of the heirs will be prosperous forever." ”
It seems that this rumor is most likely true.
Perhaps, that young man is really a man of destiny.
If it weren't for that, the emperor had just written the holy decree, how could it be possible to cause such a celestial phenomenon?
Ji Gang's heart had already been shocked to the point of no return, he hurriedly knelt down and shouted: "The emperor's eldest grandson Chitose, Chitose Chitose!" ”
The brocade guards standing on the side also knelt in a row, shouting: "The emperor's eldest grandson Chitose, Chitose Chitose!" ”
Zhu Di laughed, as if he had solved a huge trouble in his heart.
After he restrained his smile and muttered, he immediately ordered: "Pass the decree, let the prince's family move back, and when you Jinyiwei pass the decree, bring a few more people over to help him move some commonly used things." ”
"He's fat, and it's hard to move."
Zhu Di's voice fell, and Ji Gang's heart sank.
The crown prince has been in charge of the country for ten years, and he has never made a mistake, but he is still often scolded by the emperor, not to mention that the emperor will care about him.
Now, this is the first time in history.
Ji Gang's heart sank, he knew that the sky was about to change.
"Yes, the emperor, I will definitely send a few more people over to help the prince carry things." Ji Gang said.
Zhu Di bowed his head: "Okay, that's it, let's go, go to the old monk to live for a few days, and let the prince be in power." ”
When the prince returns to the palace, he will be able to be the shopkeeper.
After that, Zhu Di took the lead in walking out of the study room and walked towards the outside of the palace in a hurry.
Even if it's late at night, Zhu Di wants to go, no one can stop him.
This so-called old monk is naturally Yao Guangxiao, he lives in Jiming Temple, and the sky has changed greatly tonight, and Zhu Di wants to go to him to solve his doubts.
Ji Gang hurriedly followed.
……
"Boom!"
The heavens changed dramatically, and the night was as bright as day.
This scene made Zhu Chen, who was studying in the small courtyard, slightly surprised.
He raised his head and looked at the sky: "Today is really strange, more spectacular than a total solar eclipse. ”
However, the lightning and thunder were roaring, and it looked quite bluffing, Zhu Chen thought about it and went back to his room to study.
Tonight, it is also a full of vitality Zhu Chen, continue to work hard!
……
In the blink of an eye, another few days passed.
On this day, Zhu Chen got up and read as usual.
Over the years, I've saved some money, so I don't have to worry about survival for the time being.
After these few days of intensive study, Zhu Chen's knowledge has also improved by leaps and bounds.
It's just that in the past few days, Zhu Chen has been a little absent-minded, because the old man hasn't been here for half a month.
Maybe it's because I'm used to getting along with the old man, and I'm used to occasionally having someone who cares about me, but suddenly it's gone, and my heart is empty.
Zhu Chen felt that he and the old man should belong to the New Year's Friendship.
In the past few days, Zhu Chen has opened the courtyard door, and when he is reading, he will look up and look outside from time to time, as for what he is looking forward to, Zhu Chen can't say clearly.
Perhaps, the old man is just a passerby in his own life, right?
"After getting acquainted, after all, we have to return to our respective lives, hey, I have too much extravagance." Zhu Chen smiled bitterly, he could only comfort himself like this.
Eleven years of loneliness have passed, why can't you hold it up now?
So, Zhu Chen abandoned those thoughts and planned to force himself to continue studying.
But at this moment, a deep voice sounded in his ears.
"You stinky boy, what are you talking about, return to your own life, old man, I've become a negative person?"
It's the voice of the old man.
Zhu Chen was slightly happy in his heart, and hurriedly turned to look.
Sure enough, the old man stood behind him, looking at him with a smile.
"You stinky boy, I've been busy this time, and I have a lot of headaches to deal with." Zhu Di sat down with a smile, his brows furrowed together, and sighed.
Zhu Chen saw his sad face, and couldn't help but wonder: "Old man, what do you have a headache?" ”
Zhu Di waved his hand and said angrily: "Don't mention it, I'm angry when I talk about this, during today's court meeting, I had a big quarrel with the civil officials of the Manchu Dynasty." ”
Speaking of this, Zhu Di said angrily: "This group of civil officials, they can't be killed, they can't be beaten, they stinky and hard, like the stinky stones of the thatched pit, extremely rotten. ”
When it comes to civil officials, Zhu Di can't wait to eat them raw.
Zhu Chen couldn't help laughing.
Since ancient times, it is normal for military generals and civilian officials to disagree and have contradictions.
"Old man, what the hell is going on, the civil officials are angry with you like this?" Zhu Chen asked.
Zhu Di sighed: "It's not for the recent Hangzhou turmoil, the people's fields are not only gone, but I don't know how many people have drowned." ”
The official history records: In the eleventh year of Yongle, when the sky was rainy, the strong wind, the river tide was monstrous, the heaven and earth were several zhang high, more than ten miles from north to south, more than 50 miles from east to west, and countless people were drowned by the nineteen and twenty residents of Renhe, and the survivors were displaced, and the fields were wiped out.
Because Zhu Chen has the reward of the general history of the Ming Dynasty, he vaguely remembers such a period of history.
The official history is recorded so seriously, and the reality will only be more serious than the official history, no wonder the old man scratches his ears and cheeks like this.
"You are a military general, what are you involved with those civilian officials, you are needed to fight, but you are not needed for this kind of thing." Zhu Chen said with a smile.
Zhu Di waved his hand and snorted: "The child is talking nonsense, that is the death and injury, thousands of lives, the people are now flooded, I don't know how many people die every day, how can I not be anxious in my heart?" ”
Just two days ago, Hangzhou 800 miles was urgent, and a fold was handed over, explaining the serious situation of the tide, which shocked Zhu Di so much that he hurried back from Jiming Temple, and immediately convened hundreds of civil and military officials to discuss.
Even, the prince was hurriedly urged back to the palace to deal with this matter.
But in the past two days, regarding the solution to the big trend, the old man fell out with the civil officials in the court, and it was precisely because of this that the old man came to Zhu Chen to feel comfortable.
"Then how did you quarrel with the civil servant?" Zhu Chen smiled, listening to Zhu Di's depression.
Zhu Di snorted coldly: "After the great storm, the rescue of the imperial court cannot arrive so quickly, I suggest that the people let the people control the water by themselves, divert the water ditch, and when the rescue of the imperial court arrives, help them together." ”
"This is good, offending those civil officials, not to mention that the people are flooded, how can they have the strength to control the water by themselves, and let the court spend money to hire people from the surrounding counties."
"Are you angry when you hear it?"
Spending money to hire people, is one million taels enough? So much water, a million taels can? At least 2.5 million taels!
If this money comes out, the country will raise taxes next year, isn't that a trap for the people?
Zhu Chen poured a pot of tea for Zhu Di: "Old man, you can also dissipate your anger, there is no need to be so angry about this matter, just open some if you want to." ”
Zhu Chen listened to Zhu Di's difficulties, and he also wanted to help the old man solve them, but the contradiction between civil and military affairs was long-lasting, and he could not solve this eternal problem, so he could only comfort him like this.
Zhu Di slapped the table angrily and snorted coldly: "I can't think about it, I can't wait to kill these things that are contrary to yang and yin." ”
Speaking of this, Zhu Di sighed again: "But I also know, if you kill them, who will do things for Yongle Dynasty?" ”
Zhu Chen smiled dumbly, and Zhu Di waved his hand: "Forget it, there's no point in talking about this." ”
"The problem at the moment is that the great wind tide in Hangzhou is not over, and the big water is still blocked there and can't come out, which requires a diversion ditch, but where should it be led, is it the Yangtze River or a small river? Bringing it to the Yangtze River will cause Hangzhou to be short of water again? ”
The old man's consideration, Zhu Chen also knows that once there is a big tide, the only most effective way is to divert the ditch.
But how to lead this water needs to be cautious, in case it is not well introduced, it is easy to cause all kinds of collateral problems, so even the Yongle Emperor is so cautious.
Zhu Chen's heart moved, looked at Zhu Di and said, "Old man, do you have a topographical map of Hangzhou?" Can you show me? ”
When Zhu Di heard this, he was happy: "What, you also have to share your worries for the country?" Okay, it's rare that you have this heart, I'll have someone send it to you later, and you can study it well. ”
Generally speaking, topographic maps are not easily given.
But Zhu Chen is the grandson, plus he has this heart and wants to solve problems for the people, Zhu Di is also very pleased.
Zhu Chen scratched his head: "That's what I said, to see if I can help, in fact, no matter how fierce the court quarrels, the people are the most bitter." ”
Speaking of this, Zhu Chen paused: "But what you said is right, let the people control the water by themselves first, and then work together when the imperial court rescues them, even if they hire migrant workers from the surrounding counties, they are also afraid of big water, and it is not certain whether they will fish in troubled waters." ”
If you fish in troubled waters, when will the water be able to go down? It's better to save yourself from being drowned, then you can work together.
People's hearts are unpredictable and must be guarded against, but the flooded people are indeed innocent.
Zhu Chen's consideration, listening to Zhu Di's ears, is already a very old suggestion.
The old man's eyes couldn't help but light up slightly, and he looked at Zhu Chen: "Good boy, your control over people's hearts is much stronger than those civil officials." ”
