Chapter 156: Wang Hua's Burden
Out of the East Palace, Wang Wei still found Wang Hua.
There are some things he doesn't say, and he still doesn't feel at ease.
The main thing is that there are some things that the prince is not very easy to say.
So as soon as he got out of the palace gate, he called people into his carriage.
"Heavenly Officer, what do you think?"
"How many years older are you, and you have been an official in the same dynasty for so many years, I shouldn't have asked that. But I'm really a little uneasy," Wang Wei's voice weakened a little at this point, and he leaned closer and asked, "Dehui, do you really understand His Highness's intention to ask you to go to Zhejiang?"
Wang Huatong Kong was stunned, "In addition to understanding the secret relationship between merchants and officials in the southeast, is there any other purpose?"
Wang Wei didn't know what to say.
This Wang Dehui has served as a political envoy in Shandong for many years, but in fact, he has relatively little contact with the prince.
"Dehui, Your Highness has been involved in politics for a few years, and what you do, but there is one thing that has no purpose, or is it for yourself?"
Wang Hua couldn't understand it anymore, so he raised his hand and said modestly, "Please teach the heavenly official."
"Let's put it this way. The silver that His Royal Highness got from Zhejiang has always been kept and not used, but what palaces and pavilions have you started, or what novel treasures have you found? None of them. His Highness's money is for 'urgent matters, and it has not yet come to an end.' Since it is not over, no one can let it end. In the eyes of Liu Daxia and these people, His Royal Highness is asking for silver from Zhejiang, competing with the people for profit, and if he wants to cut off this financial route, do you think His Royal Highness will let him be satisfied?"
Wang Hua nodded thoughtfully.
「…… The lower official understands what the old heavenly official means, but His Royal Highness belongs to the East Palace, even if Liu Daxia is still the secretary of the military department, what can he do to His Highness?"
Citing another example, Wang said: "When He Wending was killed, it was said that Confucius and Mencius were the masterminds behind it. Liu Daxia can't do anything to His Royal Highness, but Confucius and Mencius can. If this is the case, Wei Bin will be convicted, and Liu Daxia will take the opportunity to let His Majesty recall the internal officials, so the profits of those merchants protected by Wei Bin will naturally not reach His Royal Highness. How will Your Highness's wealth continue?"
"Why is that?"
Wang Wei was not afraid to say, "Your Highness said that some of the silver smuggled by the people in Zhejiang Xinghai Trade was taken away alive."
As soon as you say this, you will be a fool if you don't understand it.
Because the forbidden sea is the ancestral system set by Zhu Yuanzhang.
As the crown prince, it is impossible for him to publicly declare that he is sending people to engage in smuggling. What is it called?
So as long as Zhejiang eucalyptus is a shot,
Find out who and who will take the responsibility themselves, from Hangzhou to the capital, you can't mention the prince a word along the way. Not to mention, when you arrive in the capital, the prince may still have a way to save your life,
By mention, you may not be able to make it to the capital alive.
Many things, if you don't go on the scale, you can't weigh two or two, and you can't beat a thousand catties on the scale.
Although everyone knows it in their hearts, even Liu Daxia doesn't dare to say it now, he can't say it if he has evidence, and he can't go deeper without evidence, everyone's artillery fire is aimed at Wei Bin.
A eunuch collects wealth - much like what a eunuch does.
As soon as this eunuch fell, Mei Kejia lost his official backer.
This is actually the original motivation for Zhejiang eucalyptus to burst out, because it is best for local businessmen. ….
After listening to this, Wang Hua began to understand how deep the water in Zhejiang was.
It's easy to say, it's nothing more than that His Royal Highness is taking silver from Zhejiang through secret channels, and the officials in the court feel that His Highness is competing with the people for profit, and secondly, they are afraid that His Highness will take advantage of this to raise troops, and they can't stop it, so they have to turn their attention to Zhejiang.
As for whether there are local businessmen behind it, it will be necessary to see
Wait a minute......
"Then His Highness sent a subordinate there?" Wang Hua's eyes widened,
Wang Wei nodded, "If Wei Bin is really greedy for ink and is found to have a problem, even His Highness may not be able to protect him. At this time, Liu Daxia was still begging His Majesty to recall the internal officials, so in order to protect Zhejiang, His Royal Highness could only send it
You've passed."
This is the real purpose of Wang Wei leaving the palace to say a few more words to him.
silver
Or to keep the money.
Wang Hua pursed his lips, his expression seemed to be a little complicated.
Wang Wei narrowed his eyes, "Dehui, do you want to ask, is Your Highness really competing with the people for profit like this?"
Wang Hua was a little flustered for a moment, but quickly adjusted back and whispered, "...... I just feel a little regretful, then Liu Shiyong (Liu Daxia) is not a heinous female minister, if he can solidly assist His Highness Zuo, it will also be of some benefit to Jiangshan Sheji."
"Then do you think Wu Yuanbo (Wu Kuanzi) is heinous?" Wang Wei shook his head, "Since the eleventh year of Hongzhi, the old man has told people that the current crown prince is extremely talented, wise and decisive, and his ambition is broad, which is comparable to that of an ordinary emperor. And since ancient times, the lord of wisdom will never be subject to the ministers, the king of the holy will never endure humiliation, the Tatars have been ruined several times, ruined my border cities, plundered my people, and at this time I have to say that you must not use troops in vain, who can make sense with Your Highness? Can you, or can I? Or is it that he Liu Shiyongneng?"
"As for the silver, Dehui remembers the first question I asked you?"
Wang Hua's memory was naturally not bad to that extent, so he said slowly, "Your Highness has never built a temple, nor has he ever found a treasure."
"Not only that, in February this year, His Majesty planned to build the Longevity Tower and the walls of the palace corridor, etc., and ordered the cabinet to write a letter, but he was advised by Liu Ge Lao to give up, and His Royal Highness didn't think of giving up the money at that time."
At this point, there is no need to say anything superfluous.
Who is the crown prince, and what is he doing this for, a person from a champion background will not be able to understand this.
Wang Hua made a gesture, "Thank you for the teachings of the Heavenly Official today, so as not to miss the important affairs of His Highness."
"It's all for Your Highness, and I still have a friendship with your little son, although he was deposed, I know that His Highness still misses him. I told you those words just now, and the next sentence is for me to say to you."
Wang Wei also thought of Wang Shouren to some extent, so he wanted to tell his father this sentence, "You have to take Wei Bin's fate as a warning. His Royal Highness has never been a person who does not dare to take responsibility, he can see it when he protected Zhang Yong and Bao Yang Tinghe, but the affairs of Zhejiang, do not affect His Highness. As for what we're doing...... Hey, the wind blows down the plane tree, and others will judge the short and long, but just be worthy of your heart." ….
Wang Wei felt that Wang Shouren had made a mistake and was not worth mentioning.
But Wang Hua went to Zhejiang, if his mind is not clear, it is easy to have big problems.
When the time comes, His Royal Highness will not be able to use Wang Shouren if he wants to.
Wang Huaxin said: No wonder this dignified official secretary wants to mention his unsuccessful son.
This is a turning of the corner to tell him that this trip is dangerous, but as long as the prince is not dragged into the water, the family will be fine, and vice versa, it is not necessarily.
These are real life-saving words.
If you can understand it, you can understand it,
If you don't understand, you can only understand it.
Wang Hua didn't say much, and bowed seriously.
Then he walked away with a firm pace.
In fact, competing with the people for profit is really a very bad reputation.
Officials like Wang Wei and Wang Hua, who are from the imperial examination, can easily be like Liu Daxia and cannot understand this kind of behavior.
In particular, it is not a lie that Li Dongyang, a cabinet scholar, said that the people of Shandong and Gyeonggi are living in hardship and have dishes on their faces.
But Zhu Houzhao can't help it.
If the crisis in the north is not resolved, his internal reform will be more drastic, and if there is any chaos, it will be an even greater disaster.
In fact, Liu Daxia didn't feel that he was doing anything wrong.
He is still worried about the world, the people are living like that, not long ago, Zhejiang officials reacted one after another, saying that the palace sent people in Zhejiang.
The people in the palace, the eunuchs,
There is no need to render it up, people like Liu Daxia will have deep malice
。
And it's easy to guess that it's either sent by His Majesty or sent by the prince.
Wei Bin was in the East Palace before, so he collected money for His Royal Highness, how can this be difficult to guess?
Please note that everything is still in the stage of guessing, since it is guessing, even if you know that Wei Bin is sending money to the East Palace, you can't say it.
This is the crown prince, not a random person pulled on the road. There's no evidence, and you're just going to hear about it?
Wei Bin is not ambushed now, he is still a eunuch in Zhejiang, and no one in Zhejiang can say a word to him, 'Explain truthfully,'.
[In other words, it is best to read aloud and listen to books at present, @@, install the latest version.] 】
Liu Daxia and Zhang Cheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, were halfway through the discussion, and they heard news from outside.
「…… Yes, it is necessary to transfer Wang Hua, the political envoy of Shandong, to patrol Zhejiang."
Liu Daxia is a little thin and small, so he looks like a little old man with a white beard. But the so-called man is not to be disfigured.
Liu Daxia was very favored in Hongzhi's later years, and Hongzhi could speak to him to the point of obedience.
He was also the kind of traditional and fierce Confucian minister.
"Wang Hua was born in the right Yude of Zhan Shifu, and when the current prince was still a child, he was familiar with Wang Hua, and it is said that he also asked, 'Do you have a son named Wang Shouren, in this way, it can be seen that the relationship is close. At this time, he was transferred to Zhejiang, and it seems that Da Sima gave the emperor's recital, and the emperor showed it to the prince."
Zhang Cheng is not young, in his sixties, but his mind is still clear.
From this one action alone, you can see what the emperor has done.
But Liu Daxia didn't have a surprised expression, "Your Majesty favors the prince too much, and even sometimes the prince exceeds the rules, Your Majesty not only does not stop it, but encourages it. So let's go up with this play, and the emperor will definitely show it to the East Palace. In fact, the key is not Wang Hua or the governor of Zhejiang, but how can we know that the eunuchs in Zhejiang are delivering silver taels to the East Palace. As long as this point is confirmed, the imperial historian of the court has been reckless, and the East Palace has always cherished the honor, this matter can be stopped."
"If there is no evidence, it will be played indiscriminately. With the determination of today's prince, his counterattack should not be underestimated. The Imperial History of the Inspectorate is afraid of this section, even if someone plays it, it is only three or two, and it will not be able to become the climate."
After all, Hai Rui is the kind of person, and there is only one person in the Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years.
"What does that Da Sima mean......
"We should also send someone to Zhejiang, the matter involves the prince, we still have to be careful and careful, we can't listen to their fools, in case the situation is not true and His Highness has been wronged, it will be difficult for His Majesty to explain." It is not worth mentioning that the two of us will die without stealing chickens and rice, but from now on, Zhejiang has become a private treasury, but millions of Li people will suffer."
"Send whom?"
This is not a simple matter.
The Ministry of Officials is now under the jurisdiction of Wang Wei, so why should a military department send whoever it says?
And if you send someone who is obviously not dealing with the crown prince, then Emperor Hongzhi will agree? I'm watching you make trouble with my son?
So this question is difficult, but it is not difficult for Liu Daxia.
He stroked his beard, thought about it for a while, and already had a plan in his heart, "Send Li Yancai, the political envoy of Hubei, to serve as the political envoy of Zhejiang."
Zhang Cheng didn't understand at first, but when his eyes rolled, he suddenly understood, and couldn't help but applaud, "Wonderful!"
