Chapter 317: The Son of Heaven

"Something's wrong, there's something big!"

As soon as Fang Bin, the secretary of the Ministry of War, arrived at the Ministry of Soldiers, he made a lot of noise, and his face was white, he had just received a decree, asking for the arrangement of soldiers and horses, sprinkling and sweeping the palace, preparing to welcome people from all walks of life into the palace, and chatting with the Son of Heaven about state affairs.

"Jian Tianguan, Xia Shangshu, and a few of you, I remember that I went to talk to the General Administration Department, how did it become a palace?"

Just as he was asking, the crown prince Zhu Gaochi also came from outside, and Fang Bin immediately said, "Your Royal Highness the prince, why is this going on?" Hundreds of people rushed into the palace, what if something went wrong? I can't clean it up! I don't think it's good to do it. ”

Zhu Gaochi also looked helpless, "You also know the temper of my father, for this matter, I quarreled with Dingguo Gong, and now Dingguo Gong is ordered to reflect behind closed doors!" ”

Jian Yi was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "For what?" ”

Zhu Gaochi sighed and told the big guy.

This originated from that box of golden pills...... Xu Jingchang dealt with the old Taoist priest and asked him to sweep the streets.

But correspondingly, Chen Ying, who offered Jin Dan to Zhu Di, was brought to the capital by Jinyiwei, and His Majesty the Emperor ordered Chen Ying to take the pill according to his own words.

Seven seven forty-nine days, Lord Chen was a guinea pig for Zhu Di, and then ...... He's dead!

It is said that the day of her death was miserable, Chen Ying rolled around on the ground, and picked her abdomen with her hands, and finally her navel was ruptured, internal organs flowed out, her intestines were rotten through her stomach, and she bled to death......

Chen Ying is a recognized cool official, and when he tracked down Jianwen Yu's party, he spared no effort and rushed to the forefront, which was a sharp blade in Zhu Di's hands.

But with the rise of Xu Jingchang, he reorganized the Taoist system and made up for the biggest problem of appeasement for Zhu Di, so that Chen Ying would not be of much use.

This guy also knows very well that with Xu Jingchang here, he will not be allowed to return to Yingtian...... That's why he pointed the finger at Xu Jingchang and wanted to plot against him.

It's just that the theory of heavenly change not only did not endanger Xu Jingchang, but also contributed to the deepening of the change.

Chen Ying became more and more panicked, because he knew very well that Xu Jingchang was not a good person, and his revenge would come soon...... And in order to save his life, he had to do everything he could.

It just so happened that he was in Jiangxi again, and Taoism had a deep influence, so he drummed up Jindan, thinking that Zhu Di was the emperor, which son of heaven didn't want to live forever, and the Qin Emperor and Han Wu were not exempt from vulgarity.

When you get to Zhu Di, you will definitely not be able to escape.

As long as the Son of Heaven wants to cultivate an immortality, and he is the only minister who can support his cultivation...... There is no doubt that he can not only evade Xu Jingchang's calculations, but also go further.

As for anything else, Chen Ying didn't care.

Reckless, unscrupulous, is the characteristic of this kind of cool officials.

They don't even care about life and death, they just want power to lean towards the government and the opposition.

However, he met Xu Jingchang, who did not dissuade Zhu Di, nor did he say anything about the harm of cultivation...... The ghost knows if it's true this time, let's let Lord Chen test the medicine for the Son of Heaven, didn't say it!

Then Chen Ying hung up unexpectedly, and died not only miserably, but also aggrieved.

I have no place to use my stomach and water, and I can't even fight for an earth-shattering fight.

"Princess, Chen Ying's death, my father thought a lot and told us a lot...... He thought that the way of heaven was far away, and even if there were, he could only stay away. Re-studying official education, giving up the doctrine of the mandate of heaven, working hard, and eating and closing, this is the right way. ”

Jian Yi hurriedly said: "Your Highness, Your Majesty can have such insight, which is better than many holy monarchs and lords, and it is really a blessing for the Ming Dynasty." ”

Xia Yuanji also said: "Indeed, throughout the ages, too many male lords have been able to focus on state affairs and work hard at the beginning. But as he grew older, he was greedy for pleasure, and even wanted to live forever, making the world a mess. Only my Emperor Taizu, from beginning to end, has not changed his love for the people, and he has been like a day for 30 years, which is really the most emperor in all dynasties. Now that Your Majesty can have such an idea, my two generations of Holy Lords of the Ming Dynasty are really the best in the past, and the prosperity can be expected! ”

The courtiers praised in unison, and Zhu Gaochi also nodded.

It's really a good thing that Daddy can think like this, a great thing.

It's just that everything can't be too good, Xu Jingchang talked to Zhu Di, he wanted to invite representatives from all walks of life to gather in the political secretary, discuss the gains and losses, and give opinions to the imperial court.

This is an ordinary move, and the Secretary for General Affairs can do it.

But Zhu Di suddenly became interested, and he also wanted to invite the people to the palace, and he wanted to interview him in person.

Xu Jingchang told him that time is pressing, things are complicated, and it is inconvenient to handle...... How do you know that Zhu Di didn't listen at all, and directly asked to entertain the people in the palace.

Xu Jingchang retreated and suggested that he just say a few words to the people in Fengtianmen, who knew that Zhu Di was resolutely opposed.

So what can be said about condescendingly?

If you want to arrange it in the palace, I will personally entertain you, and talk with the big guys while eating, so that you can open your heart and hear useful truths.

Xu Jingchang and Zhu Di argued a few times to no avail, and asked Zhu Di to give an order and go home to reflect...... You are not allowed to see the people, because you want to be separated from the inside and outside.

This crime is not small, and Xu Jingchang can't bear it, so he obediently stays in the house.

Now Zhu Di is going to meet the people and hold a banquet in the palace.

The will has also come down, so it's up to the big guy to do it!

Xia Yuanji's face was full of bitterness, "It stands to reason that this matter should be handled by the Dingguo Public Administration, and the General Administration Department should preside over it." ”

Zhu Gaochi directly hehe: "I also want to, but Dingguo Gong was grounded, he can't go against his will, right?" ”

The princes present looked at each other, why did it sound a little wrong?

The surname Xu is not a righteous gentleman, he can quarrel with the Son of Heaven, and he can't make sense until he is locked up at home...... Maybe this kid did it on purpose, trying to avoid this.

The more I think about it, the more it makes sense, Xu Jingchang is such a thing.

It's just that he wants to run, there is no reason for this!

Jian Yi said decisively: "Since it is inconvenient for the Department of General Affairs, let the Ministry of Rites preside over it, which is also the normal responsibility of the Ministry of Rites." ”

Jian Yi looked at Huang Guan.

Huang Guan frowned slightly, and said involuntarily: "The Ministry of Rites may be next, but what name should be used for this matter?" Let the people enter the palace, what should the people see? These things are not something that a small Ministry of Rites can say. ”

Xia Yuanji said with a smile: "It's not difficult to do this, that is, Your Majesty favors the people, cherishes the people, and invites the three sects and nine streams to enter the palace for a banquet to congratulate the Holy Dynasty...... Isn't it good for the big guy to eat a meal and then give something to him, just like a prayer feast. ”

Zhu Gaochi hurriedly waved his hand, "That's not the case, my father specially explained that he wanted the people to enjoy the scenery in the palace, and he had to really listen to the opinions of the people, and write them down." ”

This time, the ministers looked at each other, which sounded very simple, but this matter couldn't help but be carefully scrutinized, and the more I thought about it, the more profound it felt.

"Your Highness, do you want the people to see the magnificence in the palace, or is it the majesty of the weather?" Huang Guan asked seriously.

Zhu Gaochi said helplessly: "I'm just afraid that after the people see it, someone will suggest that the Son of Heaven be frugal and not waste the people's power." ”

As soon as he said this, the big guy instantly understood what the problem was.

Not to mention the palace, even if it is other yamen, there will be trouble.

"Your Royal Highness, the deep palace is ninefold, for the sake of the majesty of the heavenly family, if you let the people watch it casually, I am afraid that it will shake the prestige of the imperial court, so let's find a way to persuade Your Majesty." Jian Yi said.

Zhu Gaochi said bitterly: "I want to advise my father, but you also know that if you listen to persuasion, then you will not be the son of Yongle." I could only do my best, but I was not sure at all. ”

is true, Zhu Gaochi really can't persuade Zhu Di.

The more he persuaded, the more energetic Zhu Di became, and even issued an order to invite 3,000 people into the palace.

I have always been earth-shattering when I do things.

Zhu Di's side was unceremoniously, and the courtiers' side were tired of coping with it, and they couldn't resist it...... Xu Jingchang, who has always had the most ideas, is still fishing at home.

It's really chickens and dogs, and it's a mess.

Jian Yi and Xia Yuanji had to find Huang Guan again, there was nothing else, let's ask your son-in-law and see what to do?

"That's it, now the big guys are waiting to hear what you mean."

Huang Guan held the teacup and said lightly.

Xu Jingchang smiled bitterly, "Father-in-law, don't hide it, I can't say this, and I can't say it, you don't want your daughter to be widowed, right?" ”

Not again!

Huang Guan glared, "I said Dingguo Gong, how big is this?" Don't you scare people at every turn, huh? ”

Xu Jingchang rolled his eyes, "Since you're not afraid, I'll say a few words...... You wrote the article of the Son of Heaven's unintentional, right? ”

Huang nodded, "That's right, you also have an idea, this is our son-in-law's cooperation." ”

Xu Jingchang said: "Don't, this is yours, and it has nothing to do with me...... Let me ask you again, in the past, the Son of Heaven was ordered by heaven, and now the emperor is adhering to the will of all the people, right? ”

"That's right! This matter has been made clear as early as the beginning of the debate on the prosperity of the temple. ”

Xu Jingchang said: "In this case, in the past, the palace was built, in order to show the majesty of the heavenly family, the imperial atmosphere, and spared no effort. Now that the truth has changed, what should we show the people? ”

"This ......" Huang Guan slapped his thigh suddenly, no wonder the big guy thought it was troublesome. This is definitely different from the past, but it is not clear what is different.

Now Xu Jingchang has broken through the words.

"Father-in-law, there is another layer in this, take so many eunuchs in the palace as an example. In the past, in order to serve the Son of Heaven, of course, there is nothing to say. But now, what to do? Your Majesty is the embodiment of all the people, can Your Majesty force the children of the people to give him a knife? ”

Huang Guanche's face completely changed...... This is really a terrible thing!

"Xu Jingchang, you told me, did you notice it a long time ago, so you deliberately angered Your Majesty and wanted to dodge?"

Xu Jingchang also helplessly spread his hands, "Father-in-law, I can't be blamed for this, I also want to further confirm public opinion." As you said, you can't use the Mandate of Heaven to restrain the Son of Heaven, you can only rely on public opinion...... I first conducted a public opinion evaluation, and then invited the people to come and talk, just to put this interpretation power in the General Administration Department and put it in my hands. ”

"And then Your Majesty took a fancy to it? Snatched it from you? Huang Guan asked rhetorically.

Xu Jingchang nodded.

Huang Guan thought for a while, "No wonder Your Majesty is so concerned, he must think that the things that your kid has tinkered with, there must be articles in it, and he must grab it...... It's just that His Majesty didn't expect that he grabbed it, but he had to explain it to the people, and it coincided with the promulgation of the Yongle Ceremony and the establishment of a new official school...... Wrong! ”

When Huang Guan said this, he stood up suddenly, stared at Xu Jingchang, pressed his shoulders suddenly, and stared at Xu Jingchang with his eyes.

"You tell me, did you deliberately dig a pit for Your Majesty? You did this because you have the heart to calculate, Your Majesty? ”

Xu Jingchang's face changed suddenly, "Father-in-law, you have to be cautious in your words and deeds, you are talking nonsense like this, but you will ruin your son-in-law, how can I have the intention of bullying the king?" I am a loyal minister and a good general of the Ming Dynasty, and I am loyal! ”

Huang Guancai didn't believe it, he now figured it out more and more, Xu Jingchang, this guy, from the beginning of observing the celestial phenomena, has been planning and digging a big hole.

This also involves the core of the new government school, how to implement it?

You say that there is no mandate of heaven, and the Son of Heaven has the hearts of the people as his heart.

That's great!

How do you do that?

Everyone in the world is watching!

In the past, the logic of the Son of Heaven was to respect the heavens, the ancestors, and love the people.

Now it's okay, we must put love for the people first.

In that case, how should we love the people?

The palace is a little extravagant, to put it mildly, for the sake of national prestige, nothing.

But what is it if you get so many eunuchs?

By extension, when the emperor from the Son of Heaven becomes the emperor of the people, what needs to be changed is not just a few words.

Even if Huang Guan wrote an article and estimated it, he didn't expect that it would be so implicated......

"You've dug a big hole for the big guy!"

Xu Jingchang also had a solemn face, and was about to say something, when Huang Guan waved his hand and stopped him.

"Don't talk about it...... There's a lot of room for manoeuvre in this matter, and if you come out and talk, things won't be cleaned up. ”

Huang Guan Zhengse, then said goodbye, and turned the day, he went to see Zhu Gaochi.

Huang Guan and Zhu Gaochi talked freely for more than two hours, and when they came out, Zhu Gaochi sent Huang Guan out.

Then Zhu Gaochi found the third Zhu Gaosui, and the brothers didn't say much, so Zhu Gaosui nodded in support, "Whatever, you don't have to ask me." ”

Zhu Gaochi was stunned, and Zhu Gaosui smiled: "Anyway, I can't be the emperor, the future throne is yours, you are willing to suffer, why should I stop it?" ”

This reason couldn't be more sufficient, "The second child is still in Yuanzhou, I went to see my mother and told her about it." ”

Zhu Gaosui thought for a while, and then said, "Big brother, can the queen mother agree to this?" I, I mean, if it's really done, what's in it for us? ”

"We? What do you mean by Heaven? ”

Zhu Gaosui nodded, "That's right, it's the Heavenly Family." ”

Zhu Gaochi said meaningfully: "If it is done, it will make the Zhu family for thousands of generations, do you think it is any good?" ”

Zhu Gaochi chatted with Queen Xu for a long time, and it was not easy to do the work of the queen mother, Zhu Gaochi spent a lot of effort, and finally reluctantly got Queen Xu to agree.

Then Zhu Di was invited over, and Queen Xu sighed: "Your Majesty, the emperor wants you to be the son of heaven of the people, are you willing?" ”
