104. The power struggle is white-hot
A few days later, the emperor hurriedly recruited Du to enter the palace to discuss matters.
As soon as Zhu Houxi saw Du Buyi coming, he took out a fold and handed it to Du Buyi, and Zhang Xuan was also on the side.
Zhu Houxi saw that Du did not forget to read the folds and said:
"Marquis of Po, you have also read the slanderous words of this rebel minister against me, and I invite you here today because I want you to give me a comment!"
Although he didn't know the Yushi Lu Huan who played this performance, he admired him very much for daring to count the spirit of Emperor Zhu Houxi, and finally spoke after hesitating for a long time:
"I think Yu Shi Lu Huan's words may be a bit inappropriate, but they are indeed loyal words, Your Majesty, you should think deeply!"
Zhu Houxi said unhappily:
This Lu Huan accused me of not cultivating myself, not listening to my ministers, not asking for troubles, and the treasury was becoming more and more empty. I have watched this piece countless times, and the more I read it, the more angry I become"!
Then he pointed to a stack of pieces on the desk next to him and said:
"Marquis of Po, you can help me take a look at these pieces on the table!"
Du Buyi stepped forward and flipped through a few, and found that these twists and turns were all accusations similar to Emperor Zhu Houxi's.
Then I flipped to the side, and it was all about the border towns urgently reporting the Tatar invasion and plunder, and then looking at the side, there were all the urgent reports of disasters and famines in various places this year, the treasury was empty, and there was an urgent shortage of silver and two disaster relief.
At the last look, there was a copy of the emperor's living record on the table, and after looking at it, I found that Emperor Zhu Houxi had been from Yang Yan and Zhishi, for most of the past six months!
I don't even have time to get close to women, I only sleep for four hours a day, and I even review the chapters and meet with officials from all over the country during meal time!
Du did not forget to reply:
"Your Majesty, you are so difficult"!
At this time, Zhang Xuan, who had not spoken, said:
"Your Majesty didn't want to go on an expedition to Tatar like Emperor Taizongwen, but now that the treasury is empty, there is a shortage of soldiers in various places, and there are very few soldiers recruited by Your Majesty who are willing to serve in the army, and Your Majesty can't bear to force it, so what can you do?"
Then he said:
"If Your Majesty doesn't cultivate his body, why should he be so diligent, now His Majesty has begun to reduce the use of the harem to solve the famine, if you don't listen to the ministers, you don't need to say it, you and I understand"!
Du Buyi also sighed and said:
"I see that this Yushi Lu Huan is also a person who doesn't know the inside story and is worried about my Daming, Your Majesty, don't pursue him anymore!"
Zhu Houxi hesitated and said:
"I was so angry that I wanted to behead this Lu Huan directly, but because of the ancestral training, I was not allowed to kill the Yanguan, and I actually broke the Marquis to intercede, I will let him go, and the Marquis of Po Huan will go to convey his will for me, so that he will have to talk nonsense again in the future"!
Du did not forget to reply:
"Yes"!
Then he went out of the palace to find Lu Huan.
Seeing that Du did not forget to go away, Zhang Xuan said to Zhu Houxi:
"Your Majesty, your righteous brother is too upright and really righteous, and he doesn't understand the depth of officialdom at all, so he is really not suitable to serve His Majesty!"
Zhu Houxi replied:
"I just want to take advantage of my eldest brother's righteous and righteous act, so that he can make more friends with the officials of the DPRK and China to support me on behalf of me, after all, although I am now in control of the decision-making power of the court, there are still most officials in the DPRK and China who are very dissatisfied with me!"
Zhang Xuan replied:
"Also, after all, those old guys in the court still oppose us too much, and all kinds of things that hinder Your Majesty from giving your parents honorific titles"!
Then he asked Emperor Zhu Houxi:
"Your Majesty's ultimate goal, but I want to put my biological father's tablet of the emperor on the throne next to the filial piety of the former emperor Wuzong in the temple!"
Zhu Houxi replied:
"That's what I mean, I must give my father the place he deserves, so that I and my descendants can maintain their reign."
Du did not forget to go out of the palace to see the imperial history Lu Huan, at this time Lu Huan was living in an inn, Du did not forget to invite Lu Huan back to his Hou Mansion to entertain.
During the banquet, Du Yi took the opportunity to ask Lu Huan:
"Why does Lord Lu want to criticize the emperor like this, aren't you afraid that the emperor will blame you?"
Lu Huan replied:
"I heard that there are more people who give advice to the emperor, I am a small imperial history, this is my responsibility, and I am not afraid, besides, what I am above is the truth"!
Du did not forget and said:
"Do you know, this time Your Majesty picked on you to watch it, and I have been angry for a few days, and today I was going to let me arrest you, but fortunately, I didn't want to see the righteous person killed, so I interceded for you!"
Then Du did not forget to explain the four major mistakes of the emperor on Lu Huan for the emperor Zhu Houxi.
After hearing this, Lu Huan may have been a little frightened, and then immediately thanked:
"Thank you Hou Ye for interceding for the next official, after listening to Hou Ye's words, I know that Your Majesty is really not easy, and I will not be so reckless in the future!"
Du did not forget to reply:
"I hope that Lord Yushi will do things for His Majesty wholeheartedly in the future, in fact, I am the same as you are the ministers of the Daming Society"!
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Yi suddenly ran over and said in Du Yi's ear:
"Madame got up and walked"!
As soon as Du Buyi heard it, he ordered Xiao Yi to entertain Lu Huan here, and he rushed directly to the room where Zihan was.
After a while, I came to Zihan's room, only to find that Zihan was walking slowly by himself in the room, and Xiao Shizhen was watching on the side.
Du Buyi stepped forward and happily picked up Zihan, turned around the room a few times, and then said:
"Zihan, you've finally recovered!"
At this time, Xiao Shizhen on the side preemptively said:
"Look at my medical skills, it's not bad, Aunt Zihan will be able to fully recover in a few days"!
Du didn't forget to put down Zihan, and then picked up Xiao Shizhen again, and said:
"You little miracle doctor, you really live up to your reputation"!
Then Zihan also came over and touched Xiao Shizhen's face and said:
"Thank you so much, little one"!
Xiao Shizhen replied:
"My dad taught me, I just memorized it"!
Then he said:
"Now that Aunt Zihan has improved, I should go back too, otherwise my father will worry about me"!
Du did not forget to say:
"Okay, then who do you want to send you back"!
Xiao Shizhen thought for a while and said:
"Let Sister Xiaoyi send me, okay"?
Du did not forget to say:
"Yes, if he goes over there, he can also let him go back to Suzhou by the way!"
Then he carried Zihan to the bed and sat down, and came to the living room, when Lu Huan had left.
Du Buyi discussed with Xiao Yi and asked him to send Xiao Shizhen back to Qizhou to thank Doctor Li and then return to Suzhou Fuzhong.
After a few more days, Xia Zihan finally returned to normal, but at this time, the situation in the court became extremely tense.
It turned out that at this time, when the officials left after the end of the early dynasty, the emperor Zhu Houxi asked Zhang Xuan, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, to issue an order to the Ministry of Rites two days later, to submit a book of texts, sacrifices to heaven and earth, Zongmiao, and Sheji for his parents!
When the officials of the Ministry of Rites found out, the audience was in an uproar.
The officials of the early dynasty had not yet left, and they were all stopped outside the palace, and then hundreds of people wanted to enter the palace to persuade the emperor, but they did not expect to be stopped by the guards outside the palace.
Seeing this, Yang Xiu first stood up, came directly to the palace gate, took the lead and hammered the palace gate, and then said:
"The country has been raising soldiers for 150 years, and the war is dead and righteous today. ”
At this time, when the ministers heard Yang Shen's words, they all became passionate and indignant, and they all knelt up with Yang Yanhe, crying for a while, crying Emperor Xiaozong and Emperor Taizu Gao!
The crying shocked the entire city of Beijing, and many people also took the opportunity to watch.
Du did not forget that at this time, he was called into the palace by Emperor Zhu Houxi!
At this time, Zhu Houxi anxiously asked Zhang Xuan and Du Yifu:
"I don't know if you two Aiqing can solve it"?
Du did not forget and said:
"Your Majesty, don't you postpone the matter of the booklet!"
At this time, Zhang Xuan said:
"I think even if Your Majesty cancels the canonization, I'm afraid those officials won't give up!"
Du did not forget and said:
"I heard just now that those kneeling and crying officials outside don't have a cabinet and six books, Your Majesty, let's go find the cabinet and the six books first, and discuss it!"
Zhu Houxi replied:
"I think they are all the same dogs, maybe they were instructed by the cabinet and the six ministries"!
Du did not forget to reply:
"Why don't I try to see if I can invite Shoufu Mao Ji to discuss with Your Majesty!"
Zhu Houxi replied:
"Then you go, we are waiting for you here"!
Du Buyi inquired with the palace guards, only to learn that the cabinet and the six books were still in the palace hall at this time.
I hurriedly came to the meeting hall and asked the first assistant Mao Ji, but fortunately, I saw that the first assistant Mao Ji had just finished urinating and was ready to go back.
Du Buyi hurriedly stepped forward to grab Mao Ji and said:
"Mao Shoufu, Your Majesty has something to look for you"!
Mao Ji asked:
"Your Majesty is crying because of the ministers outside the palace"!
Du did not forget to reply:
"Of course it is"!
As soon as Mao Ji heard this, he didn't forget that he didn't pay attention, and slammed into the big tree next to him, picked up his head, and fainted!
Du Bu did not forget to directly ask the people on the side to quickly carry Mao Ji over to Emperor Zhu Houxi.
Zhu Houxi saw that Mao Ji was actually in a coma at this time and was carried by Du Yiyi, and he understood that Mao Ji was deliberately trying to avoid this matter, so he had to order the imperial doctor in the palace to take the first assistant Mao Ji to heal.
At this time, the general of the palace gate guard came to report again: "The cabinet and the six ministries except for the temporarily absent Ministry of Rites Shangshu and Mao Shoufu, all the others are involved in the crying outside the palace!"
Zhu Houxi was furious, threw the jade folding fan in his hand to the ground, and said:
"These people are really the opposite"!
Then ordered the guard general to say:
"Immediately notify the whole city of martial law, and all the Imperial Forest Army, Dongchang, Jinyi Guard, etc. will go outside the palace gate to surround these rebel ministers and let them all cry to death outside"!
Then he turned around angrily and went back to the dormitory.
At this time, Du Yiyi and Zhang Xuan hurriedly followed.
As soon as Zhu Houxi returned to the dormitory, the guard general came to report again:
"The ministers outside the palace said that if His Majesty does not revoke the honorific title of biological parents, they will always kneel outside the palace gate and cry until they die"!
Zhu Houxi came up at this time and gave the guard general a big slap, saying:
"You warn them again, and if they don't listen, you will send them all to prison!"
When Du did not forget to hear it with Zhang Xuan, he hurriedly came over and persuaded:
"Your Majesty, no, this will be a big mess in the world"!
Zhang Xuan preemptively said at this time:
"Your Majesty can first arrest all those officials below the fifth grade as punishment"!
Du did not forget to hurriedly say:
"That's not good, I think we should pick a few low-grade ones and warn them first!"
Zhu Houxi said:
"Then follow the meaning of the Marquis of Po, and the Marquis of Po Juhou will go and issue the order in person, I can rest assured"!
Du Buyi came to the gate of the palace with his will, arrested eight low-ranking officials in front of the kneeling crowd, and sent them to prison.
At this time, Du did not forget, and suddenly, he actually saw that it seemed to be Yang Shen as the leader, so he hurried over to help Yang Shen up.
Unexpectedly, Yang Shen said:
"Master Hou, I'm ready to die today, you don't have to persuade me!"
And then keep crying!
