Chapter 435: Royal Ruthlessness
Ying Tiancheng reached the hottest time.
The heat wave is right in front of people's eyes, between the streets and alleys, like a surge, hitting the face, making people unable to get out of the house.
It seems that this kind of weather is precisely to cooperate with the new deal that is in full swing above the court.
Every day, the brocade-clothed guards with the emperor's order rode wildly inside and outside the city gate, and ran wildly to the end of the official road outside the city.
With the finalization of the members of the Wenyuan Pavilion and the readjustment of the officials of the six ministries and other yamen, there are only a few remaining officials who have filled the shortage of important officials. The center of the Ming Dynasty also continued to operate to the maximum extent possible after a short period of suspension.
And when Wenyuan Pavilion issued a letter about temporarily taking people in Beijing to fill the yamen of various ministries and departments, so as to consolidate the operation of the government and government, and not delay the implementation of the first public examination law that was about to be prepared urgently this year, the people gathered in the entire Yingtian City went crazy.
The imperial court gave money and grain, and they were able to familiarize themselves with the internal operation of the court yamen in advance. And it is faintly rumored that anyone who serves the imperial court during this period will have another extra point to consider when he comes to Japan to take the examination of the various ministries and yamen.
Under so many other preferential treatments, from His Excellency Wen Yuan, the officials and yamen in charge of this matter, the threshold was almost stepped on by the surging lifters.
When the emperor's decree on that day said that the future examination law of the Ming Dynasty could be delegated to the first level, the lifters at that time had already ignited endless ambitions.
Now, where will it be possible for people to get the qualifications for the extra points first.
For a while, there was an extra picture in Yingtian City, where the world's talents went to serve in front of the king.
The affairs in the court are full of difficulties, and there is a solution to them after all.
Seeing that the center of the court hall gradually stabilized.
In the west of Yingtian City, on the Longwan Wharf near the river, it was cleared by the Imperial City Soldiers and Horses Division early, followed by the Shangzhi military guards, and finally the Jinyi guards supported the guards and guarded the group, from the Xihua Gate to the dock.
It's still early here, but just after dawn, the dew from last night was slightly cool, and the wind blowing across the river made people feel that it had never been the height of summer.
The pier-like trestle bridges that stretch from the land into the river like arms, hugging several boats crossing the sea.
The twelve-mast main ship makes people know at a glance that this is the crystallization of the most advanced shipbuilding industry in the Ming Dynasty.
The cool breeze and the river mixed with dew danced between the pier and the pier.
Zhu Gaochi clasped his hands in his sleeves and shrunk his shoulders, trying to make his wind side smaller.
His eyes moved away from Brother Xi and Brother Bing'er beside him, and looked at the Kong family members who were being escorted into the boat from the river boat.
"The latest news of Jin Yiwei, there are two sects in the north and south of the Kong family, and the people within the three clans are all here. Within the nine tribes outside the three tribes, those people were taken of everything, boarded ships from Shandong Province, and sent to the army of the true self for the purpose of mining gold and silver. ”
Zhu Gaochi said very carefully, and every word was considered for a long time before he could say it.
This had to allow him to be cautious, there were too many people in the Kong family, and there were more people related to the Kong family. The three clans are basically blood relatives, and these Confucian families are going to be escorted to the Jiaozhi Road and the countries of Europa from the Longwan Wharf of Yingtiancheng today, according to the emperor's will.
That's all, and there are already thousands of people.
And the people within the nine clans of the Kong family are also as high as tens of thousands.
At the moment, the imperial court really does not have more energy and sea ships, and it is wasted on escorting prisoners. In the end, Wenyuan Pavilion discussed and invited the palace, and only then did people from the nine clans other than the three clans be sent to the Zhenwei army to mine gold and silver deposits for the Ming Dynasty.
These people don't want to set foot in the Central Plains again in this life.
Zhu Gaochi knew very well in his heart that his surname could no longer tolerate the return of the Kong family.
That's tens of thousands.
Zhu Gaochi can only sigh in his heart, the new national policy has just begun, and one innovation measure after another has been launched, which is the fate of tens of thousands of people, and it is extremely thin and insignificant in this world of great contention.
Zhu Shangbing, who had already put on a costume of a thousand households, snorted disapprovingly: "If it weren't for Brother Xi'er's compassion, I couldn't bear to bleed like a river." According to me, these tens of thousands of people are just a matter of one knife, and you can also look at the neck of the Kong family that can make a few knives curl. ”
Qin Shizi's words immediately caused the officials of the Three Law Divisions present to shrink their necks in tacit understanding.
Zhu Yunxi looked sideways, and glanced at Zhu Shangbing with a surging look in his eyes.
The latter immediately shrank his head like the officials of the Three Law Divisions.
It's really that today's Brother Xi is becoming more and more majestic, and from time to time Zhu Shangbing seems to have a feeling of being in front of the old man or the prince's uncle.
Zhu Yunxi's eyes were as calm as water, and he just looked at the trestle that had reached the end of boarding: "Be sure to tell the officers and soldiers of the sailor division to move smoothly, and don't let the will be discounted." ”
The sailor general on the side immediately clenched his fists and spoke: "Your Highness Qiqi, this time you are using big ships, although there are many storms at sea at such a time, but you will see the opportunity at the end and lead the team to dock along the coast, which is enough to be safe." ”
Zhu Yunxi's eyes flickered: "It's the middle of summer, there are indeed a lot of storms at sea, so you should be chronic." ”
】
The sailor's men received the order, and when they saw that the prisoners of the Gankong family had boarded the ship, they resigned one after another.
Under a whimper, with a long and long horn sound, a fleet of more than a dozen large and small ships each sent a cable tied to the pier, raised the sails and sailed to the Jiangxin channel.
Zhu Yunxi stopped and watched, waving his hand: "Go over there to see the voyage, and wait for the officials of the three law divisions to go back to the city to sort out government affairs." ”
The imperial grandson wanted to enjoy the scenery, and at this moment, no one in the officials of Ying Tiancheng dared to refuse.
The officials left cautiously, and Zhu Yunxi, accompanied by Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Shangbing, was escorted by the brocade guards and went to the shore downstream.
Ascend to the top and have an unobstructed view of the land of Gyeonggi within a radius of dozens of miles.
"It is estimated that in less than two months, these people will be able to land on Champa Road." Zhu Gaochi looked at the fleet facing the sun and spoke softly.
Zhu Yunxi diverted the topic and said, "Your family affairs, shouldn't it be on the agenda?" ”
Zhu Gaochi looked back, there was some hesitation in his eyes, and he whispered after a long time: "Over there in Zhongdu, grandpa nodded, and said how to let you set the specifications, and sent it from the palace." ”
Zhu Yunxi was surprised: "Why did you leave this matter to me?" ”
Zhu Gaochi shook his head: "I didn't understand it at first, but after thinking about it, I felt that maybe this was grandpa asking you to show generosity and kindness." Yun Wei got married, although he was a concubine, but he was still a royal bloodline no matter what. If you have a little more grace, you can also appear a little more humane in the current government and the opposition, which can be regarded as comforting people's hearts. ”
Zhu Yunxi pondered for a moment, and then nodded.
"Come to think of it, that's probably it."
Zhu Shangbing asked with a little curiosity: "Then what specifications are you going to arrange?" ”
"Since it's to show mercy, let's use the gift of the county king." Zhu Yunxi said very affirmatively, and continued: "But the gentry of the government are not allowed to congratulate them, and everything is handled by the Xinguo Mansion. ”
The specifications are given to the highest, and the limits are also set to the maximum.
At this moment, Zhu Yunwen is just a member of the clan, but he can marry according to the rules of the county king, which is undoubtedly an incomparably heavy grace. And the Xinguo Mansion is also organized so that this simple wedding will not become complicated.
Zhu Gaochi didn't know how to answer at the moment.
But I have to admit that Brother Xi is indeed magnanimous enough, especially after going through so many things.
Then.
From the high ground, Tian Maizheng walked up with a solemn face.
When Zhu Gaochi saw him coming, he couldn't help but subconsciously take two steps back.
Tian Mai's arrival didn't seem to surprise Zhu Yunxi's expectations, and when he saw that he was approaching, he whispered: "Everything is done?" ”
These words immediately made Zhu Gaochi, who had just retreated, raise his eyebrows slightly, and he couldn't help but raise his head and look at Tian Mai who didn't know where he came from.
Tian Mai bowed his head and said in a low voice: "Back to Your Highness, everything is done." ”
Zhu Yunxi nodded: "Hmm." ”
"Recently, there have been storms on the Hokkien Road and Canton Road sides, making it difficult for ships at sea. The subordinates thought that they could replace the officers and soldiers of the sailors who escorted the Kong clan at the time of the Fujian Road, and then create a shipwreck at sea outside the Guangdong Road. ”
Make a shipwreck!
Zhu Gaochi, who was looking at him silently, couldn't help but tremble on his shoulders.
Originally, he thought that the Kong family's dispatch to the southern expedition army and Europa was already the most severe punishment for the imperial court in addition to beheading.
But now it seems.
Obviously, Brother Xi was not ready to really spare the Kong family.
Zhu Gaochi suddenly wanted to take it back, and just now Brother Xi admired Zhu Yunwen's magnanimity from the bottom of his heart.
For no reason, Zhu Gaochi shivered again.
That's thousands.
There are also more than a dozen sea ships in the Ming Dynasty that took a lot of money to manufacture.
In Zhu Gaochi's mind, he couldn't help but think of a turbulent sea scene.
Beneath the roaring surface of the storm, the icy waters glowed with a deep blue that seemed to swallow everything. One by one, the giant ships of the Ming Dynasty sank below the surface of the sea, thousands of black spots struggling in the icy and biting water, which were fresh lives.
However, Brother Xi'er's voice was like a roaring thunder and lightning on the endless sea, which penetrated into Zhu Gaochi's ears
"Canton Road? It's too close, and I feel unlucky. ”
Zhu Yunxi was not satisfied with the arrangement of the secret guard, and his brows furrowed slightly.
Tian Mai seemed to have a belly, and immediately said: "Actually, my subordinates thought that when the fleet passed through Qiongzhou Mansion and was about to approach the Champa Road, there would be a big storm. ”
Zhu Yunxi stretched his brows at this time, nodded and said: "In the past of Qiongzhou Mansion, the turmoil in the South China Sea is indeed dangerous. ”
Tian Mai continued: "The naval division warship sank to the bottom of the sea, and the officers and soldiers of the naval division could only save themselves, and it was difficult to rescue others, and they were later included in the Southern Expeditionary Army. The subordinates thought that if there was a real storm, it might be like this. ”
Two people are right in front of them, discussing the lives and deaths of thousands.
Zhu Gaochi only felt that he was a person drowning in the cold and biting sea water at the moment, and his body was chilled for a while.
"What do you think?"
Suddenly, Zhu Yunxi looked at Zhu Gaochi with a smile on his face, and asked in a kind tone.
Zhu Gaochi's eyes twitched, the picture about the ocean disappeared in front of him, he coughed lightly again and again, and couldn't help lowering his head: "The heavenly family has no selfishness, and everything is important to the state affairs and society." ”
Zhu Yunxi's face showed a heavy face: "My family and the court still have to take care of some face. And now, the knowledge of the Central Plains far exceeds that of the South and Europa, and the Confucian family can be regarded as a knowledgeable family in the Central Plains no matter what, and the things in their minds cannot be easily thrown out. ”
I think that's the real reason.
The imperial court could not really kill the Confucian family in the Central Plains, which violated the inexplicable and deep-rooted thinking in people's hearts for thousands of years. And the Ming Dynasty can't let the knowledge that belongs to the Central Plains spread out and create a bunch of potential troubles out of thin air.
The sea is ruthless, and it is also the best excuse and reason, enough to provide a reasonable excuse for the royal family.
As a member of the royal family, is it really ruthless?
Zhu Gaochi had this question in mind, and he returned to the palace from the Longwan Wharf outside Xicheng, and he never figured it out.
Today is the day of the final disposition of the Kong clan in Yanzhou Mansion.
Zhu Yunxi and the three of them can be regarded as having received the order, and after finishing the errand, they have to go back to the palace to report to the old man.
The three of them followed suit, and Zhu Yunxi was thinking about the progress of the current new policy, preparing to check the gaps. Zhu Gaochi frowned, unable to find a balance between the lives of thousands of people and the new policy.
On the contrary, Zhu Shangbing seems to be the most light-hearted, as long as it is not a matter of going into battle to kill the enemy, he has never been willing to move his head more.
waited for the three of them to enter the Qianqing Palace.
Zhu Shangbing, who was looking left and right in a leisurely manner, suddenly sighed softly: "Grandpa, which bastard is this scolding?" ”
Zhu Yunxi withdrew from his deep thoughts, raised his eyes to look at the old man's bedroom in front of him, and only heard bursts of reprimands from inside, accompanied by a breathless wail.
Zhu Shangbing's brows moved: "Shall we go in, or wait outside?" I think let's go in and see the excitement. ”
As he spoke, this guy had already taken steps towards the Qianqing Palace.
Zhu Yunxi and Zhu Gaochi glanced at each other silently.
Zhu Gaochi snorted: "He's just a bastard, just wait to see him laugh." ”
Zhu Yunxi also smiled helplessly, noncommittal, and kept up with Xiao Han, who had already entered the dormitory.
Wait for the three of them to enter the dormitory.
Seeing Zhu Shangbing, who was walking in the front, shook his shoulders, he almost subconsciously shouted: ", isn't this my old man!" ”
It's okay if he doesn't shout, but as soon as he shouts, several people in the hall turned their heads to look over.
Zhu Yuanzhang crossed his hands on his hips, and looked angrily at Zhu Shangbing, who had just shouted. The crown prince Zhu Biao on the side had a tangled face, looked at the three children who came back, and then looked at the second brother who was sitting on the ground, holding the old man's thighs tightly with both hands.
Zhu Fan just glanced sideways slightly, looked at his unsuccessful son, and quickly turned his head over, and the original wailing also stopped abruptly.
Zhu Yuanzhang's face was full of black lines, he snorted coldly, flicked his legs, and said ruthlessly and indifferently: "If you don't let go, Lao Tzu will throw you into Xuanwu Lake!" ”
