Yujun Palace

In the winter to prepare for the New Year, the palace was busy, and on this day, the king of Yujun summoned his new henchman Chu Gao to come in to discuss the matter.

After a while, Chu Gao came in, looking like he was about thirty years old, with a jade pendant tied around his waist, his clothes were not gorgeous, but they were very clean, clean and clean, and he had a calm and quiet temperament.

If Ye Qing is here, he will definitely sigh - the monarch and the ministers will meet, the core think tank of the county king in the previous life, and now he is still here according to the fate of the previous life.

"Mr. Chu, you came just in time" After King Yujun invited Chu Gao to sit down, he said softly: "Today, the emperor ordered the sixth brother to supervise the ministry, the meaning of this is really difficult to understand, Mr. Gu feels uneasy, you are a national scholar, and I want to hear your opinion." ”

When Chu Gao heard this, he bowed slightly, and said, "What's so difficult about this, it's because the prince's position is unstable, and the monarch and the ministers are suspicious of each other." ”

"The root cause of suspicion is far away, if you have to say it, eleven years ago, the emperor inspected the South China Sea, and the prince stayed in the prison country. ”

"Who is Li Tu, he is the prince's concubine, the most enthusiastic minister who ran for the prince, although he did not kill, but he dismissed the official and returned to his hometown, and died of illness halfway"

When talking about his death, Chu Gao's eyes flashed, and he accentuated his tone: "At that time, the emperor kept the face of the prince, and Mingli did not involve the prince, but as soon as Li Tu died, the princelings were hit hard, and there was no problem with each other."

Later, the prince repeatedly confessed, and lay dormant in the East Palace, and from time to time set up a manor to show the emperor, so that he could keep peace for ten years. ”

"It's just that in recent years, the emperor has become increasingly weak, and the emperor is worried, and now the sixth prince Xinjun Wang is favored, just fighting with the prince, not necessarily the emperor belongs to Xinjun Wang. ”

After a while, King Yujun said: "The last time I saw the prince, the prince also told me that life is too short to be happy in time, what do you think?"

When Chu Gao heard this, he smiled, and seemed to be overwhelmed with emotion: "In all fairness, the prince can be regarded as a masterpiece, you have watched several things, and they are all in order, and you can't find a flaw in dealing with Lao Cheng." ”

"Now that the prince is pragmatic, he is a pragmatic plan, and he is in the same dust as the light, showing the emperor that he has no ambitions, which is a peaceful policy of Zhongzheng. ”

"It's just that although the prince wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, the emperor is old and frail, which of the princelings does not hope that the prince will ascend the throne early?"

"The officials of the court, which one doesn't want to flatter the prince in order to form a good relationship with the future lord of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains?"

"Therefore, although the prince is willing to keep quiet, and the power of the princeling is expanding day by day, even the prince himself can't control it, and the hundred officials think about the prince, what can the prince do?"

Hearing this, King Yujun walked away and felt enlightened, shivering all over his body, looking at Chu Gao, he was a little stunned, and suddenly remembered Ye Qing, Chu Gao's words, Ye Qing also talked about it.

"I have a few words, just listen to it."

"The first sentence, the emperor is a Ming monarch, who has reigned for thirty-seven years, and has always been cautious and arbitrary in national politics.

In the second sentence, the prince is gentle and polite, and has always been cautious of his duty, but it is a pity that the tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, and he has been on the crown prince for too long. ”

"In the third sentence, the sixth prince is a virtuous king, with great knowledge, elegance and elegance, and a virtuous corporal, but he is too virtuous. ”

"The fourth sentence, the prince is not virtuous, not a man, but he can do things, if he can be filial again, this is the fortune of the emperor and the prince. ”

Both of them are national scholars, they both speak thoroughly and methodically, each has its own merits, and has similarities, but they don't need Ye Qing.

At that moment, King Yujun's teeth burst into a voice: "So that's the case, is there no way for the prince?"

Chu Gao smiled: "In terms of being an ordinary emperor, the prince's strategy can still be used, but now the emperor is a Ming monarch, the prince is weak, and the princelings are all over the government and the opposition, isn't it shocking to die like this?"

"I'm afraid that I will be more suspicious of the prince's city. ”

"If you want to say a way, but there is still one, the emperor has given political affairs to the prince several times, the lord thinks about it, in the past ten years, have there been four major events handed over to the prince?"

"Rectify fraud in the science field, this is one. ”

"Rectify the rule of officials and verify the payment of taxes, this is two. ”

"Measuring the national household registration and acres of land, this is three. ”

"Away from Kyoto to repair the river and water transportation, this is four"

King Yujun's heart jumped suddenly when he heard this, and said: "These princes are all confused, but if they can't do it, could it be that they fell out of love because of this?"

Chu Gao suddenly laughed loudly: "Oh, the lord sees it like this?

Saying that, he wrenched his fingers and said: "The first thing is to rectify the fraud in the scientific field, which is beneficial to the imperial court, but the person in charge offends a large number of scholars, as well as the officials involved in the case, and many officials are still princelings - what about the prince, he can't go on with the purge and can't do anything"

"The second thing is to rectify the rule of officials and verify the payment of taxes, which is also beneficial to the imperial court, but the people who offend will go to the sea, and the prince will offend most of the officialdom."

"The third thing is to measure the household registration and acres of land in the country, which will offend the gentry of the whole world - so the prince is in a mess, and he can't do it"

"The emperor's meaning is very clear, that is, the princelings are too powerful, if the prince takes over the mission and works hard, it will not only benefit the society, but also reduce the party henchmen and lose his reputation, which is no threat to the emperor."

"Although the prince has cut his own party henchmen, lost his prestige, and offended a large number of officials and scholars, he has been the prince for decades, as long as the emperor does not abolish him, no one can abolish him, this is the only way for the prince to live. ”

This year, the emperor heard that the river was in disrepair, and asked the prince if he was willing to leave Kyoto to repair the river and water transportation, which was actually to give the prince the most chance to leave, and he didn't want the prince to be afraid of leaving Beijing to take advantage of the six princes, and refused. ”

"From this point of view, I don't trust it in the first place, isn't this worse than worse? ”

"As for the sixth prince Xinjun Wang, now the emperor has done it again, ordered the officials to manage the department, and brought up the old matter of rectifying the administration of officials and verifying taxes. ”

"To put it mildly, although the six princes were pulled out by the emperor to fight with the crown prince, his name as a virtuous king is known to both the government and the opposition, is there really no chance?"

"My lord, his chances, his holy family, are much greater than yours. ”

"This opportunity lies in the fact that King Xinjun, who already has a huge party of the Six Princes, is like the crown prince, making a mess of this offending thing and not doing it, or would he rather cut his own party and lose his reputation for the sake of the society?"

"It's just that the sixth prince Xinjun Wang can become a climate, it all lies in the virtuous, this virtuous is to win people's popularity, and he would rather cut his own popularity for the sake of the society, which is much lower than the crown prince. ”

"If the king of Xinjun refuses to cut his own prestige, the power of the Six Princes' party is expanding day by day, and for the emperor, isn't this another hungry wolf?"

"The lord, the prince and the king of Xinjun have all been excluded, and the rest of the princes are all mediocre, who has you to do such a thing, and don't pass on the throne to you, is it possible to pass the throne to the mediocre king, and ruin the world of this Da Cai?"

Listening to Chu Gao's words, the originally foggy heavenly machine was suddenly clear, as if the heavenly machine and the national fortune were all played by him, Yujun Wang suddenly gave birth to a kind of fear, and suddenly a question that was originally hanging in his heart was answered, and he glanced at Chu Gao at the moment, wiped a cold sweat, and sighed for a long time: "Listening to your words is better than reading ten years of books."

As he spoke, he changed the topic: "Bangyan Ye Qing sent a letter, asking me for help, what do you think?"

"Ye Qing" Chu Gao was stunned, I don't know what to do, Chu Gao didn't like to hear this name, so he nodded and said: "Lord, I have also heard about this, it seems to be a dispute in the lower earth world, the minister is thinking, although the governor of Yingzhou has selfish intentions, but he will always retreat in a few years, this should be given to the governor, or the court will deal with it more smoothly in the future, this is a little shallow opinion of the minister." ”

When King Yujun heard this, he stood up and paced slowly underground, and when he reached the door and looked at the drizzle outside, he couldn't see any expression on his face.

Then, he said lightly: "What Mr. Chu said is that it is just a love affair, and now that he is in trouble, how can I ignore it like this?"

Chu Gao smiled and said: "The lord is benevolent when he thinks of the old feelings, but people mainly do big things, and it doesn't seem to be like this." ”

King Yujun smiled, held back again, looked at the rain outside in a daze, for a long time, nodded and sighed: "What you said makes sense, but I still can't bear it."

Chu Gao listened to it at this time, and wanted to continue, but he was suddenly stunned, leaned back, rubbed his hands uneasily, and felt that King Heyu was too straight and too deep, and suddenly became alert, so he kept silent.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, King Yujun thought about it for a while, and ordered: "Come here"

Suddenly, listening to a burst of footsteps, an official came in, and just about to salute, he was waved by the king of Yujun, only to see that his expression was not clear, but his voice was very clear: "Pass my order, play it to the emperor, and Ye Qingjin is reading it in the five grades of Hanlin."

Ye Qing is now in the seventh grade, and he was suddenly promoted to the fifth rank of Hanlin to study, and even jumped to the second rank and fourth level.

If it is a real official, even if it is the king of Yujun, he may not be able to do it, or even if he does it, he will consume a lot of energy and use up some favors.

But this is only Qinggui Hanlin, and it has long been promised to the heavenly people, and now a few years in advance, it is not a big problem.

With the energy of the king of the county, it is more than enough to do this.

And even if it is Qinggui Hanlin, the fifth grade is still the fifth grade, and the seventh-grade county order is going to attend the court, and it is impossible to get Ye Qing to do it.

Not to mention the county order, even if it is the governor, it is a little difficult to get a five-grade official at will, or a public and a celestial.

And this official answered, drafted on the spot, the county king's mansion has its own literary talent, and it didn't take long for a piece of writing to be written.

After reading the word for word, Yu Junwang nodded with satisfaction, took the seal of the county king, and stamped it.

A trace of bruised purple qi swept through the void, Chu Gao saw it, and his heart sank inexplicably, as if he had a bit of an ominous feeling, and swallowed a mouthful of saliva immediately.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, filling the heavens and the earth.
