Chapter 632: The Art of Checks and Balances

"Well, it's not too early, if Lord Yi has nothing to prepare, let's leave early. "Now that the matter has been explained clearly, Dongfang Ling is not the kind of person whose mother-in-law and mother are endless, and this is going to Jinling for the Valley of Bliss, this kind of thing should be done sooner rather than later, it is better to leave early.

"I don't have anything to do, so let's go. Since he is going to work, and it is Jinling City, Yiming's tiredness seems to have disappeared, and his whole body is full of strength for a while, so naturally he doesn't need to rest more, he just can't wait to fly to Jinling immediately now and show his ambitions.

......

In the huge imperial study, there are only two figures, one sitting and one standing, Zhu Di bows his head and sits on the desk to review the folds, while Zhu Gaochi is standing behind Zhu Di cautiously.

After a long time, Zhu Di suddenly straightened his back, stretched his waist, and glanced at Zhu Gaochi behind him with a somewhat tired look, and soon, Zhu Di refocused his gaze on the pile of folds in front of him, but Zhu Di still said quietly, "Chi'er, since you came over in the morning, you have an expression of wanting to talk and stopping, is there anything you want to ask me, say it, and save you from holding back in your heart and making yourself uncomfortable." ”

With Zhu Di's permission, Zhu Gaochi said in a hesitant manner, "Father, the son is dull, there is indeed something unclear, I hope the father can solve the doubts for the son." ”

"Let me guess. Zhu Di stopped the pen in his hand with interest this time, turned around, and looked at Zhu Gaochi, "You want to ask about that champion." ”

"Sure enough, I can't hide anything from my father's eyes. Zhu Di guessed what was on his mind, Zhu Gaochi smiled, and no longer hid it, "Father, the ministers of Jinling City have also heard about it, the prefect of Jinling was killed by a traitor in Zheliu Villa, I heard that the palace is rumored to be done by a Jianghu sect called Bliss Valley, I don't know if this is true?"

"Elysium Valley!" Zhu Di's expression was grim, and he snorted coldly, "It is really bold for a mere Jianghu sect to dare to go against the imperial court, if it is found out that this matter is really done by Elysium Valley, I will definitely want this Elysium Valley to be destroyed in the world!"

"Father, the son-in-law heard that this Valley of Bliss has an inexplicable relationship with the Mingjiao during the period of Grandpa Taizu, isn't it?" Although others don't know about the Mingjiao, as a child of the royal family, Zhu Gaochi still knows a thing or two, as for this Bliss Valley, although the reason is unclear, but the rumors say that he has a relationship with the Mingjiao, and Zhu Gaochi has to take it seriously when he contacts this incident," Father, the son wants to say that Grandpa Taizu ordered Jinyiwei to get rid of Mingjiao, if this Valley of Bliss is really involved with Mingjiao, is this time they here to take revenge?"

"Chi'er, don't worry, just a valley of bliss can't make any waves, I have already asked Dongfang Yang and their Jinyi guards to find out about this matter, once it is confirmed, his good days in the rivers and lakes may come to an end. Speaking of this matter, Zhu Di was also a little annoyed, Zhu Di disdained to ignore those things in the rivers and lakes, but this time the Valley of Bliss actually killed the imperial court officials, this is no longer something that Zhu Di wants to care about, but it is about the face of the court, which is also what makes Zhu Di the most angry.

"This is what Erchen said, there is no doubt about the ability of the Dongfang Lord, and several of his righteous sons are also the talents of my Ming Dynasty, but the father and the emperor, you appointed that champion, Yiming to be the prefect of Jinling, which... Isn't this something that doesn't conform to the rules of the past?" Zhu Gaochi was obviously not worried about Dongfang Yang, but worried about Yiming.

"What do you mean? Are you saying that I shouldn't let Yiming go to Jinling?" Although Zhu Di was not angry, as the Ninth Five-Year Venerable, every word was full of majesty, just a simple sentence made Zhu Gaochi feel a little unnatural, and the cold sweat on his forehead oozed little by little.

"Father, the son did not question your meaning, but this champion has always entered the court at the beginning, and he has a lack of political achievements in managing one side, so you let him be the prefect of Jinling City, which... Isn't this a little embarrassing for him?" Zhu Gaochi is worried about nothing more than that Yiming is still too young to govern such a big place, and if something goes wrong, the people of Jinling City will suffer in the end," Erchen thought that this Yiming was still sent to the local place to be a county commander, and he could also experience him as soon as he came, and he would not be too complacent, which was a good thing for the people and for himself, and the situation in Jinling City was complicated, I was afraid that he would have the opposite effect if he went. ”

Hearing this, Zhu Di shook his head with a smile, but did not immediately refute Zhu Gaochi's words, but threw this question back to Zhu Gaochi, "Chi'er, then I ask you, who do you think the position of the Jinling Prefect should be given to?"

"It's... If you talk about qualifications, the hundred officials in the court and the central government are better than Yiming, and if you talk about political achievements, the sons and daughters think that there are many candidates for the prefects of those counties who serve in the local government. "Zhu Gaochi knows that the position of the Jinling prefect is now a hot potato, if it was placed in the past, there must have been many people who wanted to be the prefect of Jinling, but now that such a thing has happened, everyone is in danger, and it has become a difficult choice.

"Chi'er, what do you think is the official style of the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China now?" This time, Zhu Di did not dwell on Yiming's matter, but asked a question that caught Zhu Gaochi a little off guard.

"This..." Zhu Gaochi didn't dare to answer indiscriminately this time, and after hesitating, Zhu Gaochi opened his mouth and asked, "Does my father want to hear the truth or a lie?"

"I'm going to hear the truth. ”

"Returning to my father, forgive my son's courage, today's hundreds of officials in the DPRK are not right, and the phenomenon of forming parties for personal gain is quite serious, among which the two forces led by the Jinyi Wei Dongfang and the Dongfang Duke are the most powerful, and the hundreds of officials in the DPRK and the DPRK are all snared by them nine times out of ten, which... This is not a good sign. "In fact, for the open and secret battle between Jinyiwei and Dongchang, not only Zhu Gaochi, but also Zhu Di didn't know? It's just that Zhu Di has always turned a blind eye to this matter, as long as they didn't do it too much, they didn't pursue anything, Zhu Gaochi just didn't know why Zhu Di suddenly wanted to ask about this, and cautiously added, "Has my father noticed something?"

"The lesson of the previous dynasty, you see that although the position of the Son of Heaven is the king of a country, but the height is not cold, it is easy to be blinded by people, I originally wanted to use this east factory to contain Jinyiwei, but now the court and the central government are clearly distinguished, whether it is Dongfang Yang or Hua Qianyu are doing everything possible to place their hands in an important position in the court, this court looks calm, but in fact the dark tide is surging, in this case, if I don't do some means, I am afraid that one day this Ming dynasty will be destroyed in the hands of these people. ”

Zhu Di's words made Zhu Gaochi suddenly realize, "Father, you... Do you want to ......"
