Chapter 39: The Story of Taizu and Taizong

Three days later.

Zhu Houzhao's first banquet after ascending the throne began.

Because Jiang Ning, a military general, participated this time, a group of Wenchen who were above the top felt that it was ridiculous, and they were already gearing up, ready to say that he was embarrassed.

Jiang Ning stood on the stage, and behind him stood a smoke general, all looking at him excitedly and expectantly.

If they can talk about it well this time, their generals will be able to raise their eyebrows.

The first to play was Wang Wei, the servant of the ministry, who led people to beat Liu Jin before and clashed with Jiang Ning.

"Your Majesty, the old man doesn't talk about scriptures and classics today, but only about history.

Since ancient times, he has been a promising king, and he is not a pro-virtuous minister, a far villain, and the country is prosperous.

And the king of absurdity, who is far virtuous and pro-villain, has caused the country to decline and even be overturned.

Just like the second emperor Huan Ling in the Later Han Dynasty, he favored the eunuchs, and the national strength of the Han Dynasty was declining day by day.

There are also two Song Dynasty Song Dynasty Huizong favored Gao Yu, Tong Guan and others, and did not think about the government, so that there was a shame of Jingkang.

In this way, we should take it as a warning. ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Jiang Ning without a trace.

Obviously, it is implying that Jiang Ning is a traitor and villain, and he must not be trusted, otherwise the country is in danger.

Jiang Ning narrowed his eyes.

The first one came up and bombarded him, which was good.

Then, I heard Wang Wei continue: "Your Majesty is the king of the Holy Ming, and you should know the scriptures and righteousness, and worship the religion of etiquette, so that you can govern the world."

It's just that recently, I heard that there are villains who bewitch His Majesty, and instead of practicing articles, they are obsessed with martial arts drills every day, which is not what the Holy Monarch did. ”

As soon as the words fell, Jiang Ning smiled and said:

"Then according to what Lord Wang said, the Taizu who started in Haozhou in the past and relieved the people from hanging upside down is not the Holy Monarch, and the Taizong who personally conquered Mobei and attacked the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty is not the Holy Monarch?"

Zhu Houzhao's eyes froze, and he said unhappily: "Wang Qing, is that what you mean?" ”

Wang Wei hurriedly shook his head:

"Your Majesty, don't listen to Wu Anbo's nonsense, how dare Weichen talk about Taizu and Taizong?

Although Taizu resisted the tyrannical yuan with the righteous army, after the world was settled, it was not to govern the Ming Society with culture and education.

Although Taizong has been on several expeditions, he still created a prosperous era of Yongle in which all countries came to the dynasty, isn't this the merit of culture and education? ”

Jiang Ning immediately answered: "Then Lord Wang, has you ever thought about how Taizu Taizong can ensure the peace of the world and give all the people a stable and prosperous life?"

Now, if it weren't for the fact that there were border soldiers who defended the country with their lives, drove the Tatars, and leveled the Miao Frontier, how could Lord Wang sit here and talk about the Tao and make a lot of nonsense? ”

Wang Wei's face was flushed, and it took a long time to hold back his words: "Hmph, but psoriasis, it can't shake the Daming Society, what a way!" ”

Jiang Ning let out an "oh" and said jokingly:

"Ben will guess that when the two Song Dynasty fell in the past, the group of ministers who assisted the two emperors of Huiqin and the three emperors of the late Song Dynasty, and the humerus ministers like Lord Wang also thought like this."

"You, you!"

Wang Wei pointed at Jiang Ning, his body kept shaking, but he couldn't speak.

Seeing his embarrassment, even a few civil officials came up and helped to speak.

But Jiang Ning was not afraid, and with a three-inch tongue, he was speechless about their ridiculous thoughts that Shangwu Chongjun regarded as a strange and clever way, and bowed down one after another.

Especially when he has to move out of Taizu Taizong every time, it is simply that a cadre of Wenchen has nowhere to refute.

Otherwise, it is a betrayal of the court, a betrayal of the Ming Dynasty, and it is light to be beheaded all over the house.

This also made the civil servants hate it deeply.

Especially an elderly Hanlin pedant, he almost fainted.

However, the generals were enthusiastic when they heard this, and they were eager to immediately lead their troops to fight with the Tatars and Miao.

Zhu Houzhao sat on the top, and he was also very excited.

This made the idea of driving in his heart burst out uncontrollably.

"Okay, okay, that's all for today's feast, Jiang Qing will follow me to the Warm Pavilion."

Zhu Houzhao was no longer impatient to listen to the of those Wenchen at this time, and immediately stopped the feast.

When the ministers saw this, they had to say yes.

Many civil servants withdrew from the Wenhua Hall in humiliation.

They didn't even say that a military general who was born as a mere talent is really ashamed of the Holy Master.

And Jiang Ning followed a chamberlain to the warm pavilion.

After passing through a palace gate, he suddenly saw a figure in palace clothes walking in front of him.

The posture is stunning, and the figure is exquisite.

And the figure also noticed Jiang Ning, with a look of surprise on his face, he lifted the hem of his skirt and trotted over.

Jiang Ning hurriedly greeted him.

"The minister has seen Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of Yun'an."

The figure is Yun'an.

Since Zhu Houzhao ascended the throne, her identity has become the eldest princess, which is more noble than before.

"No need to be polite."

Yun An subconsciously wanted to reach out and help him up, but suddenly noticed that something was wrong, and hurriedly withdrew the white and tender soft wattle.

A delicate little face, constantly dyed with a touch of crimson.

She has almost never been in contact with foreign men, and Jiang Ning is the only one.

Although I haven't seen him for a long time, the palace eunuchs will always discuss his affairs these days.

Yun An inevitably heard it, and as time went by, the impression of him in his heart became deeper and deeper.

Now that I see him again, I can't help but be overjoyed.

At this time, Jiang Ning found that Yun An was also followed by a young Taoist priest.

There are two little Taoist children serving on the left and right, looking at the fairy spirit, very Taoist bearing.

Yun An saw that he was paying attention to the Taoist priest, and took the initiative to introduce:

"This is Heavenly Master Zhang of Dragon and Tiger Mountain."

Jiang Ning was stunned, didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly arched his hand.

Zhang Tianshi waved his hand back to Taoism: "Dare to ask who this adult is?" ”

"Heavenly Master can call me Jiang Ning."

"It turned out that it was Wu Anbo in person, disrespectful and disrespectful."

The two politely exchanged words for a while.

Suddenly, a crisp and slightly immature voice came: "You are Jiang Ning, who resisted disrespect in order to save his wife?" ”

Jiang Ning looked over and saw that one of the little dao boys didn't know when he could get up, looking at himself with big bright eyes.

Xiaodao Tong has red lips and white teeth, a high nose bridge, and fair skin, which is so cute.

Although there was a wide robe to cover it, Jiang Ning could still be sure that it was probably a girl.

"Exactly."

He responded kindly.

Xiaodao Tong pouted, and was about to speak again, when he heard Zhang Tianshi say: "Xuanyue, don't be rude." ”

As he spoke, he looked at Jiang Ning: "I have no way to discipline me, if there is any collision with Wu Anbo, please forgive me." ”

"It's okay."

Jiang Ning waved his hand, looked at Yun An and said, "Your Highness, Your Majesty Shicai summoned the ministers to meet in the Warm Pavilion, it is inconvenient to stay here for a long time, and I am out of company." ”

Looking at his back as he gradually moved away, a trace of reluctance flashed in Yun An's eyes.

Seeing this, Xuan Yue's dark and bright eyes rolled around.

Jiang Ning followed the chamberlain to the warm pavilion.

Zhu Houzhao saw him, and immediately smiled: "Jiang Shiyu, what you said just now is really enjoyable, I really didn't misunderstand you."

Look at those old men, will they let me learn this and that all day long, and I'm annoyed to death! ”

"It is an honor for the minister to share the worries of His Majesty."

Zhu Houzhao nodded, and said: "Now I want to make you the secretary of the Criminal Department, and see which of them will object." ”

Jiang Ning listened to it and thought about it in his heart.

If he really enters the Sixth Ministry, I am afraid that he will be ostracized by a group of civil officials, and there is no risk of being set aside.

How can it be better to slowly develop forces to deal with them now.

Jiang Ning immediately said: "Your Majesty, you have just ascended the throne, and a while ago, you dismissed the three Shangshu at one time, which may have made the cabinet elders and ministers dissatisfied.

If the minister is allowed to be the secretary of the criminal department again, I am afraid that many old ministers will sue the old man and return to his hometown.

In order to stabilize the court, I also ask Your Majesty to withdraw his will. ”

Zhu Houzhao listened, and said with a touched face:

"It is not unreasonable for Jiang Shi to read this, those old men are the most annoying. At every turn, you have to get old.

You are still considerate to me, even if you don't want to be an official, you have to think about me. ”

At this time, a lively and playful girl suddenly approached.

"Brother Huang, you have to be the master of Aunt Deqing!"

Jiang Ning turned around and found that it was Princess Yunyang, and immediately saluted: "The minister has seen Princess Yunyang." ”

And Yunyang didn't pay attention to him, just stared at Zhu Houzhao, his pink little mouth pursed, and he looked aggrieved.

"Brother Huang, Aunt Deqing and her concubine were bullied by the female official in the house, and the two are not allowed to see each other, you quickly dispose of the female official and make the decision for them."

Zhu Houzhao said disapprenously: "When the horse meets the princess, there is a custom, and you can see it if you want to." ”

Yunyang's eyes were covered with a layer of fog:

"Hmph, Aunt Deqing used to love you very much, but now that you are the emperor and have a noble status, I don't care about her!"

Seeing her crying, Zhu Houzhao had a headache and said, "Okay, good, the imperial brother must be in charge." ”

As he spoke, he looked at Jiang Ning: "Jiang Shiyu, you can go with the imperial sister and figure things out." This is the token in the palace and can be unblocked. ”

"Obey."

Jiang Ning took it respectfully.

Yun Yang looked at him with big eyes, looked at him a few times, and said, "I recognize you, you are the one who was beaten by my father last time." ”

"It's Wechen."

Jiang Ning responded with a wry smile.

He told himself that there was only an eleven or twelve-year-old girl in front of him, and she couldn't care about it.
