Chapter 143: Abolish the Prince? King Liqi?
(Yesterday I fainted with a fever of 40 degrees, and I took antipyretic medicine and continued to play life code words at 38 degrees today.) )
……
Jiming Temple
The black-clothed monk opened his triangular eyes like a sick tiger, but saw the emperor leaning in a dragon robe in front of the railing by the lake, his eyes wandering, taking in the beautiful scenery of green mountains and green waters on the opposite bank into his eyes, and his breath seemed to swallow clouds and spitting mist.
"What are you looking at?" Yao Guangxiao asked.
He and Zhu Di are not only monarchs and ministers, but also close friends, with his understanding of the emperor, Zhu Di's attitude must be brewing unknown things.
Zhu Di looked at the scenery on the other side of the river and said in a deep voice: "I'm thinking, what do you think of the abolished prince Liqi Wang?" ”
Yao Guangxiao was stupid when he heard this.
He knew that His Majesty the Emperor must be thinking about something terrible, but he didn't expect it to explode as soon as he opened his mouth!
The abolished prince Liqi King, are you crazy?!
"Your Majesty is joking?" Yao Guangxiao thought that the old emperor was stuck in his brain.
Zhu Di shook his head: "I didn't say a joke. ”
As everyone knows, Zhu Di suffers from "indirect cerebral convulsion syndrome", based on Yao Guangxiao's observation over the years, the emperor's convulsions are within a certain range, and sometimes Zhu Di may do some incomprehensible things, but after all, he will not shake the foundation of the country too much.
The emperor had said before that he would abolish the crown prince to establish King Qi, but Yao Guangxiao didn't take it to heart, because Zhu Di at that time seemed to just mention it casually, not like he was serious.
But this time is different, Yao Guangxiao can feel that the emperor is serious this time!
He really wants to abolish the crown prince and set up King Qi instead!
Yao Guangxiao asked with doubts: "What is the prince's crime that caused His Majesty to have the idea of abolishing the prince?" ”
Can this prince be said to be wasted?
Now this prince Zhu is fat, deeply supported by civil officials, and his henchmen are all over the Ming Dynasty, two capitals and thirteen provinces, if you want to abolish the prince, how many people's interests will be shaken, and if you are not careful, you will waste the country's capital!
Zhu Di touched the tip of his nose: "I may not believe it when I say it, I can see the future of Da Ming." ”
Yao Guangxiao was silent for a while: "Are you afraid you're not making me laugh?" ”
Although this black-clothed prime minister is the culmination of Confucianism and Taoism, chanting sutras and reciting Buddha all day long, and worshipping the Sanqing saints when he has nothing to do, Yao Guangxiao is actually an atheist.
He doesn't believe that there are any strange forces in the world, and if there is really a god in the world, it can only be himself.
As for seeing everything in the future, it would be nonsense, and even more nonsense than this is that these words came out of the emperor's mouth.
"To tell the truth, I am like a dream in the Spring and Autumn Period, and I have seen the Ming Dynasty a hundred years later."
Zhu Di muttered to himself, "In the first year of Hongxi, the new emperor Zhu Gao collapsed, and the temple name was Renzong; In the tenth year of Xuande, Zhu Zhanji of Xuanzong of the Ming Dynasty collapsed, Chinese New Year's Eve six, passed on the throne and his eldest son Zhu Qizhen; In the fourteenth year of orthodoxy, the orthodox emperor Zhu Qizhen drove his own expedition to Wara, was defeated and captured, and lost his power and humiliated the country......"
"Wait!!"
Yao Guangxiao's brain is buzzing now, "What are you talking about?!" ”
What's that?
The crown prince Zhu Gaochi and the imperial grandson Zhu Zhanji, the two of them have only been emperors in their early ten years?
What is this Zhu Qizhen, the royal driver is defeated and humiliated by the conscription?
Are you Zhu Di joking, cursing your children and grandchildren like this?
The lake in front of Zhu Di stretched out his hand, as if touching the long river of time, and said softly: "I saw that when the Ming Dynasty was about to sink, it was the elderly King Qi who stood up and helped the building to tilt, save the sky, save the people from fire and water, and King Qin protected the wolf!" ”
Zhu Di has never said these words to others.
Sometimes he really wished that all this was just a nightmare, but Zhu Di knew in his heart that all this was real.
Zhu Di didn't know how to meet Emperor Taizu Gao after his death, could it be that Zhu Di wanted to tell Zhu Yuanzhang: "Dad, your son and I can come out, give your precious grandson a kick from the throne, am I awesome?" What's even more awesome is still to come, your son and my children and grandchildren are all talents, such as the Cricket Emperor...... For example, call the Son of Heaven...... For example, the mighty general...... For example, the Taoist Emperor ......"
Yao Guangxiao said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, are you sure that because of an ethereal dream, you will decide to abolish the crown prince and establish King Qi?" ”
Zhu Di thought for a moment and said slowly: "King Qi has a ninety-five style, does the prince have it?" ”
Yao Guangxiao: "? ”
What is this 95-style thing?
Zhu Di rarely saw this black-clothed prime minister so stunned today, and couldn't help laughing.
He wanted to establish the king of Qi, not because of the ninety-five musket of Narauszi. The crown prince, the prince, the foundation of the country, Zhu Di wants to change the crown prince, it is necessary to consider it from multiple aspects.
"Since ancient times, there have always been princes, heirs, and sons." Yao Guangxiao said, "The prince may not be very much in line with your heart, or maybe he really can't compare to King Qi." But the prince is mellow, and he is the eldest son, and he is deeply supported by the ministers, how to abolish it? ”
Zhu Di was a little helpless: "I didn't say that I was going to abolish the prince directly, why are you in a hurry?" ”
Yao Guangxiao said seriously: "This is very good, even if you really want to change the establishment of King Qi, you should slowly figure it out, this matter will not be solved in a while." ”
Zhu Di shook his head: "I know it in my heart. ”
Yao Guangxiao saw that the emperor had made a decision in his heart, so he stopped talking.
Whether it is Zhu Gaoxian or Zhu Gaochi as the prince, it has no impact on Yao Guangxiao, and he will not favor anyone.
……
[Choose to simulate Zhu Yijun's life as an emperor. 】
Zhu Di sat alone by the lake fishing, in fact, he had already been able to simulate, but Zhu Di couldn't bear to look at it anymore. He knew that Da Ming was on the verge of collapse. The treasury was empty, the border army was slack, the party struggle between the DPRK and China was in full swing, the people were starving, and the emperor became a mascot.
How can such a country not die?
Zhu Di really wants to travel through the past to give his children and grandchildren two big pockets!
Well, call the Son of Heaven to slap two more times!
[On August 17, the 42nd year of Jiajing, you were born in Yuwangfu, and your father was Yuwang Zhu Zaikun. 】
[Your grandfather, Emperor Shizong Jiajing, believed in Taoism, "those who speak falsely will die", therefore, no one dares to report to Emperor Jiajing about your birth, let alone name you. 】
[Until the tenth day of the first month of the first month of the first year of Longqing, the courtiers asked the crown prince to be established, and your father, Emperor Longqing, gave you a name, called Zhu Yijun. Emperor Longqing said: "Give you a name, the name is Jun, the holy king controls the world, just like the turn of the weapon." ”】
[On March 11, the second year of Longqing, because you became the eldest of the descendants of Emperor Longqing, you were canonized as the crown prince and were in the East Palace. 】
[The crown prince is the future emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and if he wants to govern the country and the people in the future, he must be educated from an early age, understand the lessons and lessons of the emperors who governed the country in the past, be familiar with the allusions of the dynasty and the chapters, and master the ability to control the subjects. You are young, but you know this very well. The emperor appointed a group of ministers as instructors and tutored him in his studies. You study very hard. 】
[Until the day of May 22, the sixth year of Longqing, Emperor Longqing was critically ill, and he summoned the cabinet university scholars Gao Gong, Zhang Juzheng, Gao Yi and others in turn. 】
[After the emperor summoned Zhang Juzheng, Emperor Longqing summoned you again when you were only ten years old. 】
[Emperor Longqing said to himself, saying that these ministers are wolf-hearted, losing power and humiliating the country, all of them are chaotic ministers and thieves, they should be killed, they should be killed! 】
[On the occasion of the emperor's death, he said to you weakly: "Zhu Yijun, in the future, when your father is gone, you have to listen to Mr. Zhang, he said that you will do what you want." Daming Jiangshan, I entrust it to you. ”】
is the extreme emperor, but he has to rely on all his hopes on outsiders, Zhu Di feels that his three views have been impacted.
Whether it was in the Yongle Dynasty or the Hongwu Dynasty, Zhu Di and Zhu Yuanzhang were walking the ministers as dogs. The prime minister of the year, Hu Weiyong, was so inflated, his power leaned towards the government and the opposition, and in the end, Zhu Yuanzhang was lightly punished by the nine clans, and pulled 30,000 people on his back.
In order to restrict Wenchen, Zhu Yuanzhang abolished the Zhongshu Province and the Prime Minister, and divided the power of the Zhongshu Province into six ministries. The emperor was directly in charge of the government affairs of the six ministries and hundreds of departments, which was actually equivalent to concurrently serving as the prime minister.
In the past, the prime minister had decision-making, political and executive powers.
After Zhu Di set up the cabinet, he firmly controlled the decision-making power that the original prime minister had in his own hands, and the parliamentary power was divided into the cabinet, and the executive power was divided into six ministries. At the local level, there are three divisions, which are in charge of the judicial, military, and administrative departments, and are directly responsible to the six ministries.
Under the control of the emperor, the cabinet and the six ministries performed their duties, and the highest administrative orders of the state were issued from the imperial city, through 1,936 post stations across the country, with a total length of 143,700 kilometers, and distributed to every corner of the country.
Although Zhu Di has found out through the simulation that the cabinet set up by himself has become the root cause of poisoning the Ming Dynasty, the cabinet ministers of the five grades have actually become the head of the hundred officials!
But Zhu Di feels that this is not his own pot, Zhu Yuanzhang can be called a model worker among the emperors, and after abolishing the prime minister, he can do everything by himself, but Zhu Di can't stand it after being the emperor for half a year, this is a person who can complete the workload? !
Here in Zhu Di, the cabinet is like a dog. And the reason why the cabinet was able to develop to such a huge power in later generations was that in addition to the reason for the cabinet system itself, was there no reason for the emperor?
But at this time, no matter how much it said, it was useless, Zhu Di could only suppress the anger and continue to simulate.
[Zhang Juzheng's ability is beyond everyone's imagination, in the first year of your ascension to the throne, before the year name has been changed, Zhang Juzheng has already beaten all the political enemies in the court, and banned the position of the head of the high arch cabinet. 】
[According to the last words left by my father, you and this Mr. Zhang tacitly cooperated, joined hands to govern the court, and killed indiscriminately. Mr. Zhang is responsible for indiscriminate killing, and you are responsible for Gaga. The two were intimate, and under the emperor's infinite control, Zhang Juzheng was in the limelight for a while and became the sword-bearer of the empire. 】
[Once when you were reading the Analects and you read "Se Bo Ruye", because your mouth was about to pronounce "bo" as "back". A teenager who reads a wrong word in a book can be a big deal, but Zhang Juzheng, who was on the side, suddenly shouted: "This word should be pronounced 'Bo'!" ”】
[You were so frightened that you trembled, not only did you not dare to speak back, but also hurriedly corrected it, saying that you would not read it wrong again in the future. 】
[At this time, you didn't realize that there was a gap between you and Zhang Juzheng, and the supreme emperor was so bullied. 】
[One night in the eighth year of Wanli, you wandered around the palace after getting drunk, and met a eunuch by chance, and by mistake, beat the eunuch. However, when you wake up, you realize that there is a big trouble - Empress Dowager Li wants to see you. 】
[When you saw the Empress Dowager Li, you didn't make an excuse, you just knelt down and cried to admit your mistake, thinking that such a thing should always pass, your dignified emperor beat a eunuch, how did you make it like breaking the rules of heaven. 】
[Empress Dowager Li took out a book, flipped to one and handed it to you. You suddenly thundered like five thunders, because this one is called "The Biography of Huo Guang". 】
Huo Zhongru, a small county official of the Han Dynasty, gave birth to two fairy sons. Among the two immortal sons, the elder brother is called Huo Quai, and the younger brother is called Huo Guang, one is the general who seals the wolf Juxu, and the other is a powerful minister who monopolizes the government.
Emperor Wanli must not be interested in the Huo family brothers' Yiwen and Wuguang Sect Yaozu, but he is interested, to be precise, what makes him afraid is that Huo Guang, the benevolent brother, has done the most ruthless thing: deposing the emperor.
In this situation, Empress Dowager Li is undoubtedly hinting to Emperor Wanli: Huo Guang is very capable, but he is also too capable, if the emperor is disobedient, he has the ability to change an emperor.
Coincidentally, Emperor Wanli also has a Huo Guang by his side - Zhang Juzheng.
[After realizing that your life was almost in danger, you showed a strong desire to survive, kowtowed without hesitation to admit your mistake, and said that you would not do it again in this life, let alone fight the eunuchs, you will have to take a detour when you see the eunuchs in the future! 】
[Admitting your mistakes is not enough, you still have to write an edict of guilt, to put it bluntly, you have to write a review, you have to make this review public, and say to everyone in the world that I know I am wrong, and I don't dare anymore. Fortunately, you don't have to write the review yourself, and Mr. Zhang will do it for you. Mr. Zhang is good at writing a review, so he will finish writing it, and then he will directly find the celebrant to stamp and announce it. 】
[You are a little confused now, you don't know, you still think that the emperor has done some heinous evil deeds such as burning, killing and plundering. I am also a generation of emperors, isn't it just drunk and beaten a eunuch, and I almost lost my throne and life. 】
[The seeds of revenge are buried deep in your heart, you look at Zhang Juzheng, this Mr. Zhang is no longer the former mentor, but an enemy. 】
[On June 20, the tenth year of Wanli, the prince and the prince, the secretary of the ministry, and the scholar of the Zhongji Temple, Zhang Juzheng, died of illness, and the emperor dropped out of the dynasty for it, and gave him the pillar country, and he was loyal to Wenzhong. 】
[Soon after Zhang Juzheng's death, you ordered the house to be raided, and cut off his palace rank, and forced the seal book and the four generations of edicts given during his lifetime, and showed the world for his crimes. And Zhang Juzheng was also in danger of being opened and whipped, his family members either starved to death or exiled, and the eldest son committed suicide, and this son was confiscated into the army. Under the pressure of public opinion, you suspended further persecution, and some of the officials who were employed by Zhang Juzheng during his lifetime were cut off from their posts and some abandoned the city. 】
[After Mr. Zhang's death, your mental state suddenly came up, and you began a four-year period of diligent government, day and night to govern the country. 】
[It didn't take a few years...... You're completely laid down. 】
[When you are the emperor, where is it comfortable, open and open! ] 】
