Chapter 91: He Xi and the Prince

Having said this, He Xi also knew that his departure from Nanjing, and even Daming, was already a foregone conclusion.

This is already the case, and it can only be settled with the situation.

He Xi said: "The minister is willing to serve His Majesty." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang made a final decision and said; "That's how it was settled."

------

In the middle of the noon dynasty, the affairs of Java are of course the most important. But that doesn't mean it's the only thing. After discussing this one thing, and several more things, he let him go. Thanks to Zhu Yuanzhang's diligence, there was the high-speed operation of the Ming Dynasty, and there was almost no backlog of government affairs.

Today is fine, there are no emergencies. It is not necessary to add a late dynasty.

He Xi went out of the palace gate, but there was a little eunuch who had been waiting here for a long time. said: "Lord He, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is invited." ”

He Xi was like a mirror in his heart. Today's noon court, the prince wants to communicate with He Xi.

After a long time, the relationship between He Xi and the prince is a little delicate.

On the one hand, the relationship between the crown prince and He Xi is close. In particular, Princess Anqing is reconciled in it, plus Zhu Xiongying, who often walks around the two families. Personal relationships are good.

On the other hand, there is a sense of disagreement on both sides.

On the one hand, it is emotional. Zhu Yuanzhang's attention to He Xi made the prince a little uncomfortable. The prince also saw it. This He Xi is the key training object of Zhu Yuanzhang. And with He Xi's age, when He Xi was in power, it was exactly the same time as the crown prince's ascension to the throne.

The two are not much different in age, they are a generation.

The crown prince sometimes thinks that my father thinks that I am unbearable, so he left the auxiliary ministers in advance, and if the auxiliary ministers have too much power, where will I be placed?

On the other hand, it is also political.

The reason why the prince is expected by everyone. In fact, it also represents the crown prince and represents the most people's expectations in this era. What is this expectation? It is a troubled era of martial arts, and a prosperous era of repair. The Ming court was transformed from the abnormal state of rampant martial artists to the normal state of literati and doctors, and everyone enjoyed peace and tranquility.

Although the crown prince is not convinced by Confucianism, in essence, he also hates variables.

Without him, for the crown prince, ensuring his succession to the throne is the most important thing. For him, everything comes as it should. Don't get any moths, it's the best.

And He Xi is the biggest variable.

He Xi appeared in these days, and the prince had already summed up a conclusion. Wherever you pass, you have to make more or less changes. Although it is said that the prince has the ability and vision to find fault with He Xi and change for the better. Expressed appreciation.

But the convergence of these things made the prince frown slightly. felt that He Xi was too unstable. Or too proud. It seems that you are the only one in the world who understands. Can't you divide it in peace, Xiao Gui Cao follows?

And He Xi himself knows that his value in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes is to change the law. He didn't dare to slack off, and he really couldn't settle down, Xiao Gui Cao followed.

In the end, it's power.

Those who support the crown prince. There are several groups of people. Among the generals, Zhu Yuanzhang's descendants, Xu Da, Tang He and other veterans. Of course, these veterans generally don't express their opinions. However, on the issue of the Ming Dynasty's unification, I still hope to return to orthodoxy. Then there are the young generations of generals, Mu Ying, Lan Yu, etc. These people are either because of Queen Ma or the prince's own in-laws.

However, that's how it is on the Wuxun side.

Because Wu Xun's side is Zhu Yuanzhang's basic plate. As long as Zhu Yuanzhang does not die, it is impossible for the prince to take over in this regard.

Then, it's the Confucian ministers.

It can even be said that if there is a case in the world, those who are really willing to fight for the prince are these Confucian ministers.

Why? Because the crown prince represents orthodoxy, orthodoxy is almost a belief here in Confucianism. They are not for the prince Zhu Biao, but for the prince to inherit the system. For the sake of this system, many people would rather throw their heads and spill their blood, and they will not hesitate to do so.

In fact, in history, Zhu Yuanzhang was after the death of the prince. I hesitated, is it to pass on the son, or to pass on the grandson?

It was with Liu Sanwu's stubborn admonition that Zhu Yuanzhang changed his mind and chose the grandson from the prince's son.

It confirms the prince's thoughts.

And who is He Xi's biggest enemy?

It was always these Confucian ministers.

Because He Xi wants to change the world, and if he wants to change the law, he needs the most fundamental right to interpret the world. This interpretation is in the hands of the Confucian ministers.

If the so-called name is not right, it will not go well, and if it is not good, it will not be done.

But rightly speaking, whose logic is this? In fact, many times, one thing is right when it is said right, and it is also right when it is said opposite. Different angles and different directions of interpretation are all possible. There is no absolute truth in sociology.

But changing the law requires a convincing theory. It is used to unite people's hearts.

The prince doesn't hate He Xi, but the prince's biggest supporter is intolerant of He Xi. The prince's situation is very embarrassing.

Actually, it is not surprising that Liu Sanwu came out to give He Xi a look today. The strange thing is that Zhu Yuanzhang is accurate.

He Xi slowly reacted at this moment. In fact, this is not necessarily without the reason of the prince.

Zhu Yuanzhang certainly wants He Xi to change the law. But he never wanted to shake the crown prince's position. Throwing He Xi outside, he also didn't want to exacerbate the contradictions between the two sides.

He Xi sighed in his heart. He didn't want to fall out with the prince. Because, as far as the prince is concerned, he is indeed a good eldest brother. He Xi is also very careful. However, people are in the rivers and lakes, and they can't help themselves. And the original meaning of the most open rivers and lakes is to refer to officialdom and the ups and downs of the sea. Later, it was extended to other places.

From the Wenhua Hall to the East Palace, the distance is not too far.

The crown prince did not meet He Xi on a formal occasion. Rather, it's in the back garden, in the gazebo.

When He Xi saw the prince, he had to salute. was stopped by the crown prince. said: "Today, only talk about family affairs, don't talk about these false rites? How is Anqing? ”

He Xi said: "Brother Prince Xie cares, everything is fine in Anqing." Mother and child are safe. ”

The prince said, "Do you have a name for the child?" ”

He Xi was stunned in his heart, and secretly said that he had been busy for a while. I actually forgot such an important thing. "Not yet." ”

The prince was a little happy and said, "Oh. Then let's take one alone. ”

At this time, how could He Xi have any objections. said: "It is an honor for the dog to have the name of the prince's eldest brother. ”

The prince was also very happy, and he pondered slowly. Something seems to have come to mind. Then he shook his head, feeling that it was inappropriate. For a while, it was difficult to decide. After a while, he said, "Let's call it Yuansi." Brother He, the wisdom is far-reaching, and after thousands of years, I hope that my nephew can be like you, and Han retreated, there is a saying: I will look forward to the examination and think about it from afar. It is also the way of a gentleman. What do you think? ”

He Xi secretly said in his heart: "Fortunately, it's not called a long way." Wouldn't I have to find a daughter-in-law named Mianmian? Do you want to go from afar? Son, son, your name is not good in the future, don't blame me? He Xi muttered in his heart, but said on his face: "Good name, good name." ”

The crown prince sighed and said, "Brother He's in the court today, I am also helpless. However, there is one thing that I agree with my father, that you are almost unable to move an inch above the court. Only in the outside can make contributions. Don't worry, you're still young, and I'll definitely transfer you back after a few years of training outside. After all, you are the one my father wants to leave to me. ”

He Xi said: "The minister understands. I was young and frivolous, and it was not my nature to be low and small in Beijing. I can do it in a place, which is exactly what I want. With my original intention, if I don't go through the state and county, I can't get on the stage, this is the right reason for the court to employ people. ”

"Okay." The prince said, "I am waiting for the day when you will take the stage. ”

Taige is where the prime minister of the Tang and Song dynasties is, and the prince promised He Xi that he was looking forward to the day when He Xi became the prime minister.

It seems that everything on both sides has returned to its original harmony. The prince had some gossip with He Xi again. For example, Zhu Xiongying's matter is a short matter among parents. That's almost the end of the conversation. The prince asked He Xi to leave.

He Xi walked out of the East Palace, thinking back to every word he said to the prince, and for a while he always felt that something was wrong. As for where, I couldn't figure it out for a while.
