Chapter 63: Pardoned
Outside the noon gate, a sad and cold atmosphere was spreading.
The officials were chilling, the inspectors were arresting everywhere, and those who had been implicated with Hu Weiyong had to be interrogated in prison.
The Qingming officials returned to the imperial court.
Because of their impeachment, they were squeezed out by Hu Weiyong, appointed in cold places, or suppressed everywhere in the yamen.
Zhu Yu turned around and walked back to the palace.
Of course, Zhu Yu will not forget.
He overthrew Hu Weiyong because he wanted Liu Ji to return to the court, and now that the people who had been opposing it had been swept away, he quickly came to Fengtian Hall and walked in front of Zhu Yuanzhang.
"Father, there is no one like Liu Ji in Yushitai, so your ears and eyes will be closed."
"What do you want to say?"
"Erchen begged his father to let Liu Ji return to the court, since he became Erchen's teacher, he has been doing his best to solve my doubts, Her Royal Highness the Queen Mother said that there is no more virtuous person in the court than him."
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Rong, just as he was going to do a big thing, a major event that would shock the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty and the people of the world, and he wanted to discuss with Liu Ji.
Hu Weiyong was executed, and there was no one in the court who opposed Liu Ji's return.
He put down the notebook and said, "Go and bring Liu Ji back, we want to see him." ”
Zhu Yu was stunned.
Is it because my status in my father's heart has improved?
Wake up, my father summoned Liu Ji back to Beijing, it must not be because of me, but there is something important to discuss, because Zhu Rong saw that Zhu Yuanzhang ordered someone to invite Li Shanchang and Li Wenzhong at the same time.
Zhu Yu came to the noon gate and got into the carriage of Gong Weisi, but did not go to Jiangning County, but planned to go to Liu's house to get a Confucian robe.
Zhu Yu saw Liu's house, there was still Su Min hanging on the wall, and the mourning period had not yet passed.
Liu Yun saw Zhu Rong, she was very complicated with Zhu Rong, she was the son of the hated emperor, but Zhu Rong took her to see Liu Ji again, she was a good person.
"I will also see this king."
"Humph!"
"Well, then the king himself has gone to see the gentleman."
"Little... The little girl has seen the King of Qi, Wanfu...... King Qi is the most powerful, you... You take me with you. ”
Zhu Yu turned around and smiled unscrupulously.
Liu Yun knew that she had been deceived, "You said you would take me to see my father, if you don't go, then I will ......"
"What's that?"
Liu Yun was angry and hateful, and found that she couldn't help this hated prince at all.
Zhu Yan withdrew his smile and said, "Your father has been pardoned." ”
Liu Jiu said with a smile: "Miss Liu, it's all the credit of our King Qi, you can't wronged our Highness." ”
Liu Yun was stunned for a moment, her nose was sour, she lost a close relative in her family, Liu Ji couldn't come back to mourn, and now when she heard the news of being pardoned, she had mixed feelings in her heart.
The carriage galloped on the post road in the capital, Liu Yun wiped her tears, not wanting to be seen by Zhu Rong, Zhu Rong handed her a handkerchief.
When I arrived in Jiangning County, Liu Jituntian's wild land.
Liu Ji looked at his daughter, put on a straight face, and said, "How can you ride in the same carriage with His Royal Highness!" ”
Liu Yun threw herself into Liu Ji's arms, tears falling down.
Liu Ji was at a loss.
"Father has pardoned Mr."
Liu Ji's face was not happy, he said very calmly: "Your Majesty is not pardoning me, but you just have something to discuss with me." ”
Zhu Yu came several times and told him about the situation in the court.
He could deduce that the general direction of things was just like the Battle of Anfeng that year.
"Hu Weiyong was executed, right?"
Did you go stargazing again last night?
"As expected by sir, this king really admires it, Hu Weiyong deceived his father and was ordered to kill the three clans, and he will return to the west at noon today."
Liu Ji sighed helplessly.
……………
At this time, Fengtian Temple.
The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty walked into the main hall in a hurry, holding the Gram card, and standing in their position with their heads down.
Li Shanchang sighed a few times.
Li Wenzhong stood on the left holding the fluorene card, his head down, not knowing what he was thinking.
Zhu Yuanzhang opened the noon dynasty, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were there, he looked up at the square outside the Fengtian Palace, the two figures were getting closer and closer, climbed the imperial steps, and walked into the main hall.
"Father, the son brought Liu Ji back."
Liu Ji walked to the center of the hall step by step and waved at Zhu Yuanzhang.
"Berwyn, we've been waiting for you for a long time, and today we have something important to discuss."
"Let's ban Zhongshu Province!"
"Abolish the phase system!"
The Manchu Dynasty was shocked by the civil and military affairs, and the prime minister system has been followed for more than a thousand years, and it is unceremonious to say that the court has never imagined the scene of no prime minister in the imperial court.
Which dynasty didn't have a prime minister?
It is the Yuan Dynasty of the barbarians.
It also has a prime minister!
Zhu Rong stood behind Zhu Biao, rubbing the afternoon dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't seem to have the heart to care about him today...... My father really abolished the phase system. The prime minister is like the sun rising in the east and setting in the west.
The first thing on the minds of officials is, how do they go forward?
In the past, the local yamen submitted the manuscript to the central yamen, and the central yamen reviewed it and then submitted it to the prime minister for approval, and the prime minister approved the draft and reported it to the emperor.
Now that the prime minister is gone, who do you want to report to?
At this time, Hou Shan, the governor of Zhongshu Province, stood up with courage and said with a smile:
"Minister...... The minister agrees with Your Majesty, Your Majesty has made such a decision, and must think it carefully, Your Majesty is sage! ”
The ministers looked at each other, and they didn't know whether to agree or not.
Li Shanchang sighed silently, banning Zhongshu Province, his official position will be gone, and he doesn't want to stay in the court, so it's not his official position that he is worried about.
He habitually stroked his smooth beard, and said solemnly:
"The upper position, the prime minister is the center of the court, if there is no official position in charge of the government, the work of the upper position is probably doubled."
"We are not afraid of hard work!"
Li Wenzhong shook his head, he was a military general and a strategist, and he saw it very thoroughly.
The purpose of this move could not be clearer.
He also stood up and said: "No matter whether the world is in war or peace, the monarch and the minister should be in the same boat, and the monarch abandons the minister and arbitrarily governs the world in an orderly manner, and the minister has never heard of such a thing." ”
The implication is that Your Majesty should not hold power alone.
"Li Wenzhong!"
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at him coldly and gritted his teeth.
The ministers trembled in their hearts and galls, their waists bowed, their heads almost buried in their chests, and a chilling roar still lingered on the golden beams of the Fengtian Temple.
A loud roar in such an open space would scare anyone.
Li Wenzhong bowed his head slightly, but his waist was straight, and he said with an unchanged face: "What the minister said is the truth, Your Majesty should understand this truth better than the minister when he reads the classics!" ”
Zhu Yuanzhang just stared at him coldly, without a look, and after a long time, he looked at Liu Ji, who had come for a long time but had not made a statement.
"Berwyn?"
Liu Ji had been keeping his head down before, but when he heard Zhu Yuanzhang calling him, Liu Ji raised his head and said slowly:
"Your Majesty is responsible for the country's major affairs, and the courtiers are responsible for the country's small affairs, which is the general principle of governing the country.
Li Wenzhong and Li Shanchang nodded in agreement.
