Chapter 239: Lobbyist

The capital is now a time of great controversy, and the new emperor has the legal system, military power, and a group of civil and military generals to promote his new policy, which is a somewhat chaotic but full of vitality.

The chaos is due to the sudden demotion of the head of the cabinet, and the vitality is the constant emergence of new faces in the court.

In the Ming Dynasty, if a cabinet leader suddenly goes to be a political envoy, it is almost impossible, the past subordinates have become the current leaders, just this kind of mentality transformation has made it difficult for many people to adapt.

Although the emperor said, 'Zhaoqing will return to Beijing, but he is already an old minister of the first emperor, if the holy favor is not declining, how can he leave Beijing? Besides, Liu Jian is seventy-two years old this year.

How old will you be when you go back to Beijing? Can you still live for ninety?

Therefore, Liu Gelao is actually difficult to be a political envoy, not because of things, but because of people.

Of course, he was lonely and sad, but only in this way could some of the ideas in the emperor's heart be implemented to turn them into reality.

So Zhu Houzhao doesn't regret it.

Back at the Xinuan Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace, he was still a little concerned, so he asked, "Who went to Liu Xixian's house after the noon dynasty today?"

Liu Jin raised his eyelids, not knowing what he meant.

「…… There are more than 50 people under Li Ge Lao, Xie Ge Lao, six Shangshu, and Shilang and below."

"People still have to be decent, *** even more. However, only the ministers are not good, a single flower is not spring, and a hundred flowers bloom in spring. You also go and join in the fun, maybe they still care about who the next cabinet minister will be."

Liu Jinqi is surprised, doesn't this kind of grand occasion mean that Liu Jian's official reputation is good? By the way, isn't it bad for the emperor to demote his position as a courtier?

But our Emperor Zhengde did the opposite.

"Your Majesty means to send slaves and maids?"

"I didn't tell you to go, but the celebrant and the celebrant went. They feel sorry for an old minister, and I also feel sorry for him. They want to be decent, and I want to be decent. You can't just ignore people when they lose power, right?"

Local officials will do this, but these self-proclaimed gentlemen in the center of the Ming Dynasty may not.

"Slave and maid obey! And the slave and maid went."

Zhu Houzhao has returned to the soft collapse, he will not sit all the time, his butt hurts, after all, his skin is tender now, so he will come to various postures a little, and now he is holding down the quilt and crooking his body, and his hands will naturally not be idle, and he still has to watch it.

Listening to Liu Jin's gradual departure, the emperor spoke again, "Don't go empty-handed. If you have money, give me a little."

The greed for money was pointed out, and Liu Jin's face fell again, "Your Majesty......"

"Go! No matter how late you take a sip of hot tea, you can't catch up." Zhu Houzhao didn't plan to look at his face, "Remember, support the scene for this Xixian Gong." Otherwise, he won't be able to eat in Shandong."

After saying that, the emperor no longer looked at him.

After he left, Zhu Houzhao looked at Liu Jin's back with a little meaning, "Someone!"

Gonggong Liu left, and naturally there were other little eunuchs, who immediately came over when they heard the voice outside, "Your Majesty." ….

"Call the men from the chamberlain."

"Yes."

There are now six people in the attendant room, and in addition to Feng Xi and Guo Shangkun, there are four other scholars from the Hanlin Academy who are here to do some basic work to sort out the materials, and they are all talented people in high school.

Feng Xi limped, Guo Shangkun was in his twenties, but he was a talent.

"Yang Yingning is about to enter Beijing, I expect that he will inevitably intercede for Liu Daxia after entering Beijing, you two go and be lobbyists for me and persuade him not to do this."

This came suddenly, Feng Xi and Guo Shangkun were a little caught off guard, and Yang Yingning didn't know where he was at this time.

"Dare to ask Your Majesty, when you see Yang Yingninggong, do you want to say that this is what Your Majesty meant?" Feng Xi asked.

Zhu Houzhao raised his eyelids

After a moment's thought, "No need. You are gone, and that is what I mean."

I saw that both of them looked a little confused.

Zhu Houzhao explained, "This matter is not suitable for ministers and ceremonial supervisors. Their position is too high, if they can't be persuaded to do so, won't they just let Yang Yingning offend the inner court and the outer court? And they're all too involved in politics, and I don't want to be too complicated. It's best for the two of you to go, both to represent what I mean and to make it simpler. This is just a simple persuasion, and I won't blame it if it doesn't succeed, just bring it to me."

In the end, the emperor sighed.

Liu Daxia's ending has been decided, and it is really not good to use Yang Yiqing's political influence to jump out and mention this matter at this time.

Especially...... Zhu Houzhao also remembered that Yang Yiqing was also a very individual minister, and if he gave you a blood or death advice, the situation would not be good.

"Your Majesty...... Why sigh?" Guo Shangkun asked puzzled.

"I sighed because I knew that Yang Yingning would definitely do this, and it was almost difficult to persuade him."

Some of the courtiers of the Ming Dynasty have some shafts, and some of them are fine, as the emperor, there are ways to knead him, but people like Yang Yiqing, Zhu Houzhao doesn't want him to shaft.

After all, how many people in the DPRK can make him feel at ease to hand over the defense line thousands of miles northwest to him?

"Your Majesty has an order, and your ministers will do their best. But as His Majesty said, Yang Yingning's entry into Beijing this time must be dangerous in his opinion, if he does not intercede for Liu Daxia, Qingliu will not let him go, presumably, he himself will not convince himself in his heart."

This is the difficulty that Zhu Houzhao is worried about.

"But if he ...... Do you just ask for it?" Guo Shangkun muttered.

Zhu Houzhao put down the music in his hand and sat up cross-legged, "The mouth grows on him, he wants to say it himself, who can stop it?" It's just that if the situation really expands, he and I will be angry, hoping that he will not be wronged in his heart. It's not that I can't hurt his heart, I don't want to break his heart. In any case, he is the one who has made great contributions to the imperial court."

Speaking of which, Feng Xi and *** both understood.

The emperor knew that he couldn't persuade him, but he had to be persuaded. Why? It is not to persuade him, but to subdue the hearts of the people.

The so-called look at the first three steps, that's it.

The emperor has already seen the scene of intercession, so at that juncture, can the emperor handle this person? ….

If you don't do it, he is a minister and the emperor to death, and to put it more seriously, he is arrogant, so he is not guilty?

It's done, this is a courtier who has just made a great contribution, and when things go out, didn't it chill the hearts of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces?

And let the two of them go in advance, and try to make it as simple as possible, to give a feeling of bitter persuasion, not an order, not a warning, but a sincere reminder to you, which means that I, the emperor, don't want to do anything to you, you have done a great job, I still hope to reward you.

In this way, how will Yang Yiqing feel? Not to mention the tears of emotion, at least I feel a warmth in my heart, right?

That's why it's said that this is called convincing people's hearts.

Feng Xi and Guo Shangkun are both thoughtful and clear people, and they can understand the key points in a moment.

But they won't be too shocked, they have seen too much of what is the level of the Holy Master's scheming today, and it is not the first time that such a wonderful plan has been made.

This may seem simple, but it's not. If you don't prepare anything, then a powerful courtier will immediately fight with the emperor, and the emperor will not be a person inside and out.

But if you prepare, the contradiction will be eased, and a situation where the monarch and the minister are divided will be made into a union of the monarch and the minister, which is the ability of being an emperor.

So they now know how to persuade them, that is, Yang Yiqing can intercede, because the emperor said it clearly, and I know that I can't persuade them. But I don't want to break your heart, so don't be too aggressive.

You beg for it, there is a general appearance, so that you can explain it to Qingliu.

Don't make the emperor resign and kneel in the Qianqing Palace for a few days and nights before the emperor's advice, which will ossify the situation and leave no room for each other to choose.

Isn't that a big problem?

"Your Majesty!"

Hearing Feng Xi say this, Zhu Houzhao was relieved, if he hadn't thought it through, he would have continued to ask with his steadiness.

"Yuan Xue (Feng Xizi), how long have you been by my side?"

Feng Xi smiled slightly, "Almost...... It's been more than four years. When His Majesty was still in the East Palace, the ministers exchanged letters for His Majesty."

"It's also thirty and seven this year, right?"

"Thanks to Your Majesty's love, I remember the age of my minister."

"You don't have good legs, and my original plan was to keep you around. But I've been thinking lately that maybe you have some ambition in your heart, and you may feel depressed to spend your life in that chamber for the rest of your life. Moreover, the two of you are close to me, you know my temper, and if you can go out to be officials, you will always be better to the people on that side, and I am really a little entangled in this matter."

Feng Xi and Guo Shangkun were both moved in their hearts, these words had never been said by the emperor before.

Zhu Houzhao shook his head a little helplessly, "Did I ask the Ministry of Officials to draw up a training program for provincial-level officials before? These are clear streams, the articles are well done, but the work is poor. It's been a month, and I haven't seen anything yet, so I don't mention it. What I mean, the people around me go to the place, even if there are some places that do not abide by the law, but they all know my bottom line, and there are some things I believe you will not do. As long as he makes meritorious contributions to the imperial court, the Ming Dynasty will not be an official who will die for nine lives. Just like him, Yang Yiqing, I will use my brains to protect his head."

"You are the same, occasionally there are mistakes, that's nothing, people always have negligence, as long as you really benefit the people, I will recognize you as a good official. But there are thousands of officials in the Ming Dynasty, and not everyone knows that the young emperor in the Forbidden City thinks this. Do you want to go out?"

The emperor's words were from the bottom of his heart, and the two big men, Feng Xi and Guo Shangkun, were also a little sour-eyed.

"I don't know where I got the blessing of cultivation, but I can meet a monarch like Your Majesty in this life. The ministers and the others have long been determined to be loyal to His Majesty and the Ming Dynasty for the rest of their lives!"

"When the people around me say such things, I still believe them." Zhu Houzhao was also a little gratified, and gradually, he was always able to cultivate some useful ministers, "Although I am reluctant to give you up, but the people need good officials more, if there is any vacancy in a while, you can go." I deliberately chose Liu Jin to say these words when he was not there, that is, to let the monarch and the ministers talk more openly, and don't forget to write the recital often after going to the place, I will order, no one is allowed to dismantle it first, and if there are deficiencies in the court system and local officials for government, remember to tell me, the Ming Dynasty is so big, it is always our monarchs and ministers who work together to manage it well."

Feng and Guo bowed: "Obey Your Majesty's holy decree!"

"Okay. As for the present, let's settle Yang Yingning's matter first......

Before this incident, Feng Xi and Guo Shangkun returned to the attendant room and had already gone to urge the subordinates to do the paperwork.
