Chapter Twenty-Six: Bang Bang Bang
"Conform to the heart of heaven to become a tumbler in the court, Your Majesty made a style of loving the Three Kingdoms Killing, one is really fond of this kind of scheming sense of battle, and the other is to make what the officials see, which is conducive to governing the country and suppressing the gambling money that has been repeatedly banned."
"With the dictatorial temperament of Emperor Hongwu, he is both pleased with the prince's benevolent character, but also feels too benevolent, after all, the prince's royal brothers, the kings of the Ming Dynasty, have military power, and being too merciful can only make the vassal kings breed the idea of fear of power and not virtue, resulting in a sinister situation of rebellion of the vassal kings."
"Emperor Hongwu took the prince and the vassal kings to play the Three Kingdoms together, saying that it was a frolic, in fact, he wanted the prince to always be better than the vassal kings, and it was not the luck of gambling money, and the vassal kings tried their best to defeat the prince with all kinds of wisdom and schemes, and they could gradually curb the ambitions in the hearts of the vassal kings."
Tantanon gave his grandson a glimpse of the most secret vassal kings in the court, and sighed: "In this way, the vassal kings will understand that whether they are planning wisely or marching to war, the vassal kings are far inferior to the crown princes. ”
"But the result was beyond Emperor Hongwu's expectations, and the crown prince lost more and won less."
When Liu Wentai heard this, he completely understood.
The god general Zhuge Liang is no longer a simple god card, but has become a weapon for the crown prince Zhu Biao to suppress the ambitions of the vassal kings.
No wonder grandpa asked him to hand over the god card to the prince Zhu Biao, if there is no grandfather of Hanlin Bachelor, where can he know this secret, and he will never be able to burn the incense this time.
Burning incense and paying tribute is a university question, and the good thing you burn is twice the result with half the effort, and if you don't burn it well, let alone the credit, it is very likely to bring yourself a disaster.
"But ......." Liu Wentai just wanted to say that the god general Zhuge Liang is too much stronger than the ordinary generals, even if he wins the vassal kings, he will not win, I am afraid that the vassal kings will not be convinced.
Before he could say anything, Liu Wentai kept silent.
This world is inherently unfair, and the god general Zhuge Liang in the hands of the crown prince Zhu Biao is not equivalent to the gap between the entire Ming Dynasty and a fiefdom compared with the ordinary generals of the vassal kings.
Seeing that his grandson wanted to speak and stopped, Tan Tanong smiled kindly again: "It's better to go sooner rather than later, and then go to the East Palace to present Zhuge Liang to His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
Liu Wentai looked at the back of his grandfather leaving, and secretly made up his mind in his heart.
When offering the god card, it must be said that Hu Hanshan, the first genius of Jinling, entrusted him to offer, as a gentleman, he can't take other people's merits as his own.
At dusk, after the officials let go.
On the platform outside the door of the master of ceremonies in Jinling, a blue and blue official sedan chair was carried out, and the spacious Jinling Avenue soon became crowded.
Those with lower official positions can only get out of the way, and the official sedan chair walks on both sides of the avenue.
The high-ranking Beijing officials walked in the middle of the avenue in the official sedan chair, and even the sedan chair bearers who carried the sedan chair held their heads high one by one, like Si Chen's rooster.
When the blue and green official sedan chairs came to the second gate of Zhengyang and Chaoyang, it became more and more crowded, and the central ministers such as the six Shangshu Shilang could only pass through the second gate of Zhengyang and Chaoyang first, and the other officials left in turn.
In the past, the Beijing officials were not in a hurry to leave and waited patiently on the sidelines.
Today, after the release of the government, the Beijing officials all lost their patience and were a little impatient, like the family had children and nephews who got married, and the Beijing officials needed to go back to preside over the banquet.
The Beijing officials rarely lost all the calmness of sitting in the yamen, just because of one thing.
A secret story came out of the East Palace.
The gilt and silver medal Zhuge Liang can make the crown prince Zhu Biao, the future emperor of the Ming Dynasty, pay attention to Hu Hanshan, which is Jian in the emperor's heart.
The Beijing officials rushed back impatiently, not to their respective official residences, but to the official residence of Prime Minister Zuo to find Hu Hanshan.
The Beijing officials all wanted to buy a gilt and silver medal from Hu Hanshan, one was for the sake of their descendants, and they wanted to use the gilt and silver medals to make the future generations of the family also get the attention of the prince.
The second is to see how self-contained the lacquer book is, which can allow Hu Hanshan to break the golden rules of celebrities and scholars and become the first genius in Jinling.
Among these Beijing officials, there is even a central minister, the deputy capital of the Imperial Palace.
The Imperial History of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is called the Minister of Speech, and the Deputy Imperial History of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is called the Deputy Minister of the Speech Officer, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate has the power to picket hundreds of officials.
In the entire capital, except for Hu Weiyong, the left prime minister who leaned towards the government and the opposition, whoever saw the official and deputy prime minister of the Metropolitan Procuratorate had to go around.
Just as the deputy capital Yushi passed through the Zhengyang Gate, there was a sudden rush of horses' hooves behind him.
More than a dozen majestic Liaodong horses rushed from behind, and just happened to bump into the central ministers who were about to pass through Zhengyangmen.
In the cold winter, the officials, no matter how big or small, basically rode in a sedan chair, and only the pawns who were in a hurry to do military affairs would ride horses in the cold wind that pierced their faces.
The commanders of the guard had to give way when they saw the official sedan chair of the right deputy capital Yushi, not to mention the pawns of the guard.
But what the deputy minister and all the Beijing officials present didn't expect was that the person who was riding the Liaodong horse led the way directly threw a whip on the face of the sedan chair driver, making a bleeding scar, and the sedan chair man screamed in pain.
The face of the deputy minister of the speech was instantly gloomy, this was not the face of the sedan chair driver, but the face of the deputy minister of the speech.
The deputy minister opened the curtain of the door, saw the appearance of the leader of the man, and just whispered: "Give way." ”
The person at the head was a eunuch, and he was also the personal eunuch of King Qin, the second son of Emperor Hongwu.
The eunuch of the Qin Palace's mansion snorted coldly, squinted at the official sedan chair of the deputy prime minister, and rushed over with someone: "You know each other." ”
When the eunuchs left Zhengyangmen, the officials were all resentful of the behavior of the eunuch of the Qin Palace.
It's just a gelding, and he dares to be so arrogant and rude to the central minister.
lawlessness and chaos of the rules and etiquette.
But he could only be indignant, the eunuchs of the Qin Palace's palace couldn't even look down on the deputy minister, let alone care about other officials.
When these arrogant and rude eunuchs came to Gongyuan Street in Sanfang Lane and came to the official residence of Hu Weiyong, the prime minister of Zuo, they all got off Liaodong with honesty.
Not only did he lose the arrogance of the rampage, but he also politely handed over the name thorn of the Qin Palace.
It didn't take long for the eunuchs of the third son Jin Wangfu, the fifth son Zhou Wangfu eunuch, the sixth son Chu Wangfu eunuch, the seventh son Qi Wangfu eunuch, and the eighth Zitan Wangfu eunuch all arrived.
In addition to the fourth son, Yan Wang Zhu Di, the cronies and eunuchs of the Ming vassal kings have basically arrived.
The last time the big eunuch of the Tan Wangfu came, several little eunuchs around the big eunuch were worried about delaying what the Tan King was going to do, and they scolded the porter of Hu Weiyong's official mansion arrogantly.
"Lowly salt beans, do you know who my prince is!"
"Old brute, hurry up and open the door and let the miscellaneous family in."
"No, it's for the people inside to hurry out to greet them."
The old porter lazily glanced at several little eunuchs in the Tanwang Mansion, and with a 'bang', he directly closed the side door.
The great eunuch of the Tan Wangfu was booing with the great eunuchs of the other feudal palaces, but he didn't expect the several eunuchs around him to be so ignorant.
On the spot, the big eunuch of Tanwangfu was so frightened that he almost didn't hold the dust tail in his hand, and went up with a few slaps: "If you don't make a weapon, go back." ”
After reprimanding several ignorant little eunuchs, the chief eunuch of Tanwangfu hurriedly took out a few ingots of scattered silver and handed them to the porter.
The porter pinched the stewards and eunuchs of the various feudal palaces, and then said slowly: "The master said, the stewards and eunuchs can enter, and the other eunuchs are waiting at the door." ”
The chief eunuch in charge of the vassal palace didn't say much, and after giving up his hands one by one, he entered the official residence of Hu Weiyong, the prime minister of Zuo, in turn.
The rest of the little eunuchs were very angry, and they usually went to the official residences of other central ministers, which time they didn't take all the benefits.
It was the central ministers who gave them silver, and they were served with tea and water.
Now it's good, the silver is not fished out, and the porter has to give the silver.
The most annoying thing is that I can't even enter the door, so I can only wait shivering in the cold wind.
