Chapter 499: I'll wait and see
Qianqing Palace. Nowadays, however, most of the time, the emperor no longer meets at court, leaving it to the reluctant crown prince.
But the emperor did not become desolate because of this, and even for some reason, he got up earlier in the morning and rested later.
In the dormitory, there is a recital in the cabinet, and there is also a backup here. There is also a matter of military aircraft and social security that is not on the cabinet side.
The Emperor wakes up in the morning to coax the children, and when he is done, he begins to familiarize himself with the events of the day before his empire.
In addition to reviewing the draft of the cabinet votes, it is also necessary to re-adjudicate the ruling from the emperor on certain important matters.
Wait until noon to take a break after eating, but now it is said to be a rest, but it is better to temporarily leave government affairs behind and continue to coax the children.
Erbi. Read the scriptures, and then still deal with what is happening in the empire. The emperor is busy.
No matter where you are, you are just busy in another form. In the Qianqing Palace, where agarwood is not used and purple wood is used, all the objects are the simplest appearance, and there is not much withering decoration, and everything remains the most simple and original.
There are not many chamberlains and palace ladies who serve in the emperor's bedroom. The emperor stubbornly believed that as long as his legs and feet could still move, and his hands could carry animal pieces, he would not need so many people to serve him.
The emperor kept the simplest way of life. However, in a corner of the dormitory, the emperor himself presided over, and everything was dressed up extremely exquisitely.
It can even be said that it is very different from the emperor's temperament. It can be described as extravagant. Small beds made of red sandalwood, ivory mats, priceless fragrances brought back from the deep forests west of Champong Road, ornaments and toys that are not jade or gold, and everywhere in the chaos is the luxury that the royal family can play.
Zhu Yuanzhang, who had been having breakfast for a while, was pressing his hands on the railing next to the bed, looking at Zhu Wensheng and Zhu Fuling, who were lying on the bed with a kind smile on his face, as if they were having a small struggle.
The brother and sister have only been a few months now, but they have been raised white and tender, and their limbs are strong and powerful. Sun Gou'er, the head of the inner palace, clasped his hands together, and looked at the emperor with a smile on his face.
This was a compulsory course for the emperor every day. When the prince and daughter of the Taisun Mansion are quiet, His Majesty the Emperor will continue to carry out the daily affairs of the empire.
Zhu Yuanzhang coaxed the two great-grandsons for a while, and looked sideways at Sun Gou'er: "The grandson should enter the territory of Henan Province now." Sun Gou'er stepped forward, looked up and forgot to glance at the bed, and saw that the prince and the daughter had quieted down, so he suppressed his voice and whispered: "Count it out, Your Highness should be in the territory of Guide Mansion now." "Hey.
Zhu Yuanzhang sighed lightly: "Speaking of which, I shouldn't have let him leave Beijing." The child is only this old, and when the kid returns to Beijing next year, the child still doesn't know him as a father. ”
"His Royal Highness Taisun cares about the country, which is the blessing of our Ming Dynasty." Sun Gou'er whispered, and his eyes looked at the two little people on the bed.
At the beginning, because the son of Taisun Mansion was born, there was a turmoil in Yingtian City. Although it was suppressed in time, the people outside who got into the eyes of power will not really stop there.
This is also an important reason why to this day, the son and daughter are still raised in this emperor's bedroom.
Zhu Yuanzhang snorted twice: "When they can really be the masters of the house and stabilize the world, they don't have to ask me to be an old man anymore, that is the blessing of the Ming Dynasty." Sun Gou'er smiled, sometimes the emperor's words don't have to be replied to, those are just the emperor's own words.
Then. There was movement outside. Sun Gou'er glanced at the emperor, bowed cautiously and retreated, and waited until he left the side palace before turning around and walking outside the palace.
When he came outside to see the person who came, Sun Gou'er showed a smile on his face, and said, "It's actually the three pavilion elders who are here." Ren Hengtai was the first to speak: "There is a report from Lao Sun, and the ministers have an urgent performance, hoping that Your Majesty will be judged." "It's a rush that can get all three cabinet ministers out of the way.
Something must have gone wrong. Sun Gou'er nodded, immediately turned around and entered the dormitory, and after a short time, he hurried back and waited sideways.
"You three come in, Your Majesty is waiting." Ren Hengtai took the lead, shook his robe and stepped into the dormitory.
Xie Jin followed behind and thanked Sun Gou'er with his head. Xu Yungong opened his mouth: "I have a companion with my grandson." "When the three of them enter the palace, they can't go to the side palace.
In the front hall, Zhu Yuanzhang was already with his hands on his hips, looking at the three cabinet ministers who walked in. It has been some time since the country has set up a cabinet.
The original intention of the cabinet was to be able to deal with state affairs more efficiently and preliminarily, and to help the emperor to deal with some less important matters in advance.
From the emperor's point of view, the establishment of the cabinet was naturally to divide a part of the authority that belonged to the emperor.
But Zhu Yuanzhang can't guarantee that he can be diligent in state affairs, and his future generations can be like him.
And Zhu Yuanzhang's other layer of thinking, he has worked hard all his life, laid the Ming Dynasty, and worked hard all his life to build the world.
Your children and grandchildren can also sit in their own positions more easily. And these cabinet ministers are doing a good job.
"The royal family needs these cabinet ministers, and at the same time, the royal family must beware of these ministers forming cliques and ignoring the imperial power after they have gained power. Therefore, the future schoolwork of the royal heirs should pay more attention to the education of how to use people. Seeing Ren Hengtai and the three of them walking in front of him, Zhu Yuanzhang's mind recalled what the grandson said in his ear.
Royal education must be strengthened. His eyes looked at the small bed behind the door in the dormitory.
"Your Majesty, Ministers." Ren Hengtai, Xie Jin, and Xu Yungong arrived in front of the emperor and bowed down and clenched their fists.
"What's the matter, can I be called by the three cabinet ministers of the Ming Dynasty?" Zhu Yuanzhang said casually, beckoned gently, and Sun Gou'er moved a chair behind the emperor.
Ren Hengtai looked at the emperor's face, the emperor's mood has been very good recently, but the emperor's mood will probably be bad for a long time.
But that's the case with countries, and it can't always be smooth sailing. As the head of the cabinet, he bears the brunt of the content of the report and his responsibilities.
Ren Hengtai coughed lightly: "Your Majesty, the king of Guangling County has disappeared in Zhongdu, and the government has been looking for many days, but he is still missing." Zhu Yuanzhang, who was about to sit down, was immediately stunned when he heard this, raised his head, and stared at Shoufu with a torch.
Just by looking at it, Ren Hengtai felt like he was in an ice cellar.
"What's going on? Can the grandson be in the middle capital? Zhu Yuanzhang's voice had been lowered several degrees, making people dare not move.
After asking, Zhu Yuanzhang sat down slowly, his eyes narrowed and waited for the answer of the first and auxiliary ministers of the cabinet.
Ren Hengtai swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said in a deep voice: "His Royal Highness the Taisun is in the central capital, and he is ordered to pay tribute to the late Duke Xinguo on behalf of the imperial court. It must be that His Royal Highness is in the middle of the imperial city, and there is a check that the central capital and the imperial city are infiltrated by the White Lotus Sect. His Royal Highness ordered the city to be closed, and the city was full of traitors and gangsters, and the city gate was opened only after day and night. The king of Guangling County went out of the city with his wife the next day, and then disappeared. At this time, His Royal Highness had gone out of the city to cross the Huaishui and go north to Henan Road. When he heard about the capital, he did not stay and continued to go north. ”
"He continued north?" Zhu Yuanzhang's brows furrowed, but he pressed the doubts in his heart and asked, "What do you and Zhongdu mean?" "The emperor is asking, what is his opinion on Zhu Yunwen's disappearance, and why did he disappear.
Ren Hengtai hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help but look at Xie Jin beside him. This guy was valued by His Majesty in the early years, and he even said a lot of unruly things at the beginning, and everyone will be fine for the time being with him.
Xie Jin was a little helpless, but he could only step forward and explain: "Back to Your Majesty, I don't dare to speculate on the side of Zhongdu, everything is played according to the truth." However, the minister looked at the meaning of Zhongdu, probably because he felt that the possibility of absconding from the king of Guangling County was far greater than that he had an accident. Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, and the Zhongdu side would probably only think so.
He looked up at Xie Jin: "Then what do you think of Xie Dashen?" ”
"The minister thinks that the abolition of the king of Guangling County must have had an accident!" Xie Jin replied without thinking. Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes showed a hint of appreciation, and he continued to ask: "Then what do you think the child might be accidental?" Xie Jin took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Weichen is bold, speculating that the abolished King of Guangling County must have been taken captive by the White Lotus Sect!" If everything is really like this, it won't be long before these people will make a fuss about the identity of the king of Guangling County, cause trouble in the place, and intend to attack the court! When he finished saying this, a smile flashed on Zhu Yuanzhang's face.
He patted the armrest on the chair and said softly: "I have been the emperor for almost thirty years, and over the years, I have repeatedly issued decrees to persuade those people who have been deceived by the White Lotus Sect and other forbidden sects and societies to be good. It's just that the flow of the White Lotus Sect will deceive people's minds and cause trouble to the place. Today, such a group can sneak into the Imperial City of Zhongdu and do something to kidnap the clan, and they dare to think about it. At this point, the emperor's face showed a murderous aura.
"Haven't they been talking about my ingratitude all these years! Now that they have a chance, they can have a chance to bully my descendants, and they will not give up even if they die! The little one, the courage to stab the emperor, bullying children, is really shameless! Ren Hengtai, who was stunned before, glanced at the emperor silently at this time.
Your Majesty has paved the way for the situation that the imperial court least wants to see in advance. Once someone makes a fuss in the future by abolishing the identity of the king of Guangling County, the court can say that this is caused by being forced by gangsters, and has nothing to do with the original intention of abolishing the king of Guangling County.
In this way, those people can no longer use the identity of the king of Guangling County. The emperor even gave the people of the world an extremely correct answer, that is, those gangsters had no way to do anything to the emperor, so they looked for an opportunity to find a way back from the emperor's grandson.
After this, if there is really a big mess, the court can also occupy the righteousness. Xie Jin had been observing the words for a while at this moment, and suddenly said in a low voice: "There was also an accident in Henan Province, and today it was two urgent to enter Beijing." Weichen thought that His Royal Highness Taisun must be worried about the affairs of Henan Province, so he did not return to Fengyang, but chose to continue to go north. After finishing speaking, Xie Jin looked at the emperor who was looking at him head-on.
Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but feel a little more at ease. Xie Dashen, who was rated as impetuous by himself at the beginning, is finally slowly stabilized, and he can speculate on other people's thoughts and say what he should say.
Zhu Yuanzhang turned his head to look at Ren Hengtai: "What kind of mess happened in Henan Dao?" ”
"The dams and dams that were built by Pan Deshan, the governor of the river, all collapsed and were destroyed ten years ago, and there were many casualties on the river. Even Pan Deshan himself was washed by the flood, but fortunately there was a considerable distance from the upstream, and the head of the water was not too big, so he escaped, but he was still embarrassed. Ren Hengtai opened his mouth to play the affairs of Henan Province, and finally pulled Pan Deshan a little.
That is an official who can only govern the river, but something goes wrong, and the court should be a little more tolerant. It's just that what kind of situation will happen to the governor of the river next Yamen and Pan Deshan, the governor of the governor himself, is not something that he Ren Hengtai can control.
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes widened. Then he let out a long sigh.
"It's the Yellow River ...... again," the emperor sighed, full of countless emotions. Governing the river and making the Yellow River tranquil is something that countless emperors hope to achieve.
It's just that in all dynasties, countless money and grain have been smashed, but no one can really make the Yellow River peaceful.
Ren Hengtai and the three of them also looked solemn. The disappearance of the abolished King of Guangling County is actually not a big deal, as long as he shows up, the court can get him back.
If he doesn't show up all the time, it will only be regarded as an accident death for the court. But it's good that nothing happens to the Yellow River, and if something happens, no matter how big or small, it must be dealt with as a top priority.
Ren Hengtai said in a low voice: "The Yamen of the Third Division of Henan Province and the Yamen of the Governor of the River are now claiming to be guilty ministers, saying that they are investigating the cause and leaving it for the imperial court to review. In order to calm down the accident and stabilize the people's hearts, they are now all guilty of errands and waiting for His Majesty's holy judgment. Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly, but a smile appeared on his face.
"If it is a natural disaster, then it is a sin from heaven, what does it have to do with them? Even if there is a relationship, it is also caused by me, the emperor. Ren Hengtai and the three of them immediately knelt down: "Your Majesty is benevolent, and if you are ordered by heaven, how can you attract natural disasters." Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and continued: "The chief official of the Yamen of the Third Division of Henan Province, as well as that Pan Deshan, are all people who do things. If it is not a natural disaster, it is a man-made disaster, and this man-made disaster is not their doing. Nowadays, there are hundreds of thousands of people on the river, and they have the ability to reach the sky, and it is impossible for them to control and see everyone. Negligence may be there, but it is not worthy of the title of a criminal minister. Ren Hengtai, who was still worried, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and looked at Xie Jin silently.
On Xie Jin's face, he also showed a relaxed look. He spoke softly: "Now, what the ministers are most worried about is that these two things today may be the work of one person. If this is the case, the other party must have great intentions. And ......" Zhu Yuanzhang raised his eyebrows, waved his robe lightly, and volleyed in the air.
The emperor raised his eyebrows and said coldly: "What other concerns? How much of a mess this Da Ming can make, I'll wait and see! ”……………… Recommended commuter passes
