Chapter 55: The Heart of the Dead

In summer, it dawns early.

He Xi yawned and stood among the nobles. He secretly said in his heart: "I don't know what's wrong today, why do you have to let me participate in the early dynasty?" What's the use? ”

Although the early dynasty in the Hongwu period was not a good thing, there were many things to deal with in the early dynasty every day. But for He Xi, the early dynasty did not have any sense of participation.

There is no other reason, He Xi's official position is too small.

He is the number one person in Guozijian, but he is only Guozijian. Don't forget, even if Guozijian itself is in the Ming power system, it is a marginalized place. Although there are many things in the early dynasty, nine out of ten have something to do with six parts. There may not be one thing related to Guozijian for several days.

Even if there is, it may not necessarily be necessary for He Xi to come forward to solve it.

Therefore, He Xi spent most of his time in the morning court, just doing one thing, just standing on duty.

It's like participating in a meeting that has nothing to do with you. What's more, most of the meetings in later generations had seats, but there were no seats in the early days. Can only stand.

This is also why He Xi came to Xungui.

The station also needs to look at the location.

If He Xi participates as the secretary of the country, it is a corner in the corner. Nothing can be heard at all, nothing can be seen. You can even skip participating. He Xi did not participate before.

But if you are a concubine, among the nobles, you are much closer to Zhu Yuanzhang, not to mention. The treatment is also very good.

He Xi yawned and rubbed his sleepy eyes.

Seeing this, Mei Yin said, "You didn't hear the wind? ”

He Xi said: "What wind? ”

Mei Yin is a colt, He Xi stood in the colt, naturally standing with Mei Yin, Mei Yin looked at He Xi carefully, and said, "You really don't know?" ”

He Xi was even more surprised and said, "What do I know about me? ”

Mei Yin said: "Forget it. Wait a minute, and you'll know. But there's one thing I think I'd like to warn you about, that your information is a little too ill-informed. ”

He Xi was stunned, a little confused.

But at this moment, someone outside suddenly said loudly: "The minister has a book." ”

He Xi was stunned, he could hear that it was Song Ne's voice. He secretly said in his heart: "Before Song Ne, he was not sick, why is he full of energy at this moment." "It's all trivial, though.

He Xi had to admit one thing, that is, Mei Yin was right. His sources of information are a little too few. Song Ne's performance today must have something to do with him. I didn't hear the wind at all.

It really shouldn't.

He Xi had to admit at this moment that the gap between him and the nobles was too big.

Who is Mei Yin, she is Mei Sizu's son, this is her nephew. Some time ago, there was news that Runan Hou Mei Sizu had died of illness in Yunnan. The strength of the Mei family was not the first echelon among the nobles, and Mei Sizu was the Yuan army. There is not much credit, it is second-rate, and now it has fallen to a new level.

But Mei Yin knew it. I don't know yet.

The gap is too great.

That's why the founding honors are so difficult.

Not to mention anything else, it is the second-rate noble Mei family, Mei Sizu was the marshal of the Yuan Army Righteous Army back then. It can almost be understood as a petty warlord. In the early days of his defection to Zhu Yuanzhang, he also brought his own soldiers. Zhu Yuanzhang just supervised it.

A small warlord has his own advisers, his own team, and his own intelligence agency. After the founding of the Ming Dynasty, a lot of these things will be dispersed. But naturally there will be reservations.

The so-called nobles of later generations, even if they were crowned marquis and made meritorious contributions, they all climbed out of the imperial court system. And the founding fathers are not, they are all self-contained.

Even if these systems are suppressed and weakened, they may not be able to pull them out when they are really needed.

Compared with these people, the things between He Xi and Song Ne are not much better than those of the Guo family.

Before Song Ne made a move, the news had already leaked.

And it's not just the nobles who know, naturally there is Zhu Yuanzhang.

He Xi remembered that Zhu Yuanzhang must let him come to the morning court today, and he already knew a little in his heart.

At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang was under the Qianqing Gate, looking down with emotionless eyes.

Originally, the early dynasty should have been under the Fengtian Gate, but the Fengtian Gate was burned. Zhu Yuanzhang simply moved to the front of the Qianqing Palace. He looked at Song Ne and said, "Quasi-play." ”

Song Ne's body can't get better all at once. It's just that a strong sense of mission and a strong sense of moral drive make his spirit seem to be burning, and it is extremely vigorous, covering up the weakness of his sick body.

Song Ne said loudly: "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

Song Ne then recited his sonata.

This is a heroic essay, recited by Song Ne with emotion, and there is only one subject. The Son of Heaven rules the world according to the will of heaven, and now the lightning strikes Fengtianmen, but the world has been, of course, the Holy Son of Heaven, wise and martial. Nature is not at fault. The fault lies with your subordinates, some people spread fallacies and heresies, shaking the foundation of the world, they are villains, please thank the world for your majesty.

Mei Yin shook his head when he heard this and said, "He Xi, I heard that Old Master Song is also a square gentleman, how did you force him to this point, he is obviously a dead admonition." I don't even want my life. ”

He Xi's face was also ugly. said: "The Tao is not the same. ”

Having said that, He Xi also knew that he was extremely dangerous today. Without him, there is a price to be paid for fighting, and what Song Ne wants to suppress is his decades of prestige, his life, and the political future of dozens of members of the Song family.

With such a heavy bet, even if you can win, you will not be unscathed.

He Xi took a deep breath, and his brain kept turning. Secretly think about how to refute it.

He also regretted that he was not well-informed. If he had been prepared, it would definitely not be what he was today, it was clearly a surprise attack.

"From now on, there must be an intelligence agency in the family. Or have a good relationship with Jinyiwei, in short, it can't be like this anymore, once something happens, it's actually the last one I know. He Xi said secretly.

In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang knew He Xi's embarrassment today.

He wanted to give He Xi a little mention. But just think about it.

There is a saying that it is called eating a trench and growing wisdom. This shows that if you want to make a rapid growth, the best way is to let him fall well. Anyway, Zhu Yuanzhang can cover for him. It couldn't be better to let He Xi fall a few more times.

After Song Ne finished reading his sonata.

Here, He Xi was so anxious that he was sweating. Because He Xi didn't know how to organize the language to refute for a while, after all, Song Ne was not fighting alone, there was Dong Zhongshu behind him, and many Confucian theories of heaven and man induction.

Zhu Yuanzhang could only glance at He Xi lightly, turned around and asked Song Ne: "What do you mean by heaven's will, not me?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the audience was shocked.

Mei Yin glanced at He Xi, the envy in her eyes couldn't be hidden, and she secretly said in her heart: "It's also a son-in-law, and he marries a princess, why is Your Majesty so preferred." ”

In Mei Yin's opinion, Zhu Yuanzhang has too many ways to deal with today's matter. But Zhu Yuanzhang handled it like this. This sentence is simply a heart-wrenching statement, just this sentence. No matter what happened today, Song Ne was already dead.

Because of the word providence, not everyone can afford it.

And this sentence can't help but remind people of Zhang Shicheng's dying words, that is: "Heaven's will will not follow me." ”

When Song Ne heard this, his face suddenly turned pale. also understands his situation, and the more he reaches this time, the more open he becomes. If he only came at the risk of death when he came, he would not necessarily die. Now it's dead.

Naturally let go.

Song Ne said: "Your Majesty, the will of heaven is not in the army. Only the virtuous can have the world. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang asked lightly: "What do you mean, I have no virtue?" ”

Song Ne said: "There are clouds in the university: learning from things, being sincere, cultivating one's self and governing the country and leveling the world, all of which are virtues." I can't go a day without cultivating virtue. Between the rise of His Majesty and the recklessness, all of them cultivate virtue with love for the people, who dares to say that His Majesty is a king without virtue, and the ministers will swear to kill him. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang secretly said in his heart: "Be smart." ”

Song Ne's words seemed to defend Zhu Yuanzhang, but in fact, he secretly pointed out that virtue is something to be practiced every day. Only those who are not virtuous will say that they are virtuous. Guy is a virtuous person, and he will not be so immodest.

Humility is a virtue in its own right.
