"Prince!"
"Something bad happened to the prince!"
Jia Liang, the minister of Dali Temple, hurried to the East Palace.
He suddenly heard about Baiguan Fuque, and he was about to go to Qianqing Palace with Gu Zuo and other court ministers, but Gu Zuo stopped him and asked him to come to the East Palace to see the prince Zhu Zhanhe.
Zhu Zhanhe suffered from cold due to overwork in the past few days, but he was too lazy to take a few days to rest.
But no one expected that he had just rested for a few days and the court was already in trouble.
Sun Ruowei saw the panicked Jia Liang and stopped him directly.
"Master Jia, His Royal Highness has suffered from the cold and is recovering from the cold. What are you doing..."
As soon as he heard this, Jia Liang became even more panicked.
Now besides His Royal Highness, who else can stop the raging Emperor Wude?
"Princess, something bad is going on!"
"Quan Jin and other officials were dissatisfied with the imperial court's implementation of the policy of dividing every child into an equal share, so they gathered in Fucheng outside the Qianqing Palace and cried bitterly. The emperor was furious and detained them. They are now frozen there!"
As soon as these words came out, Sun Ruowei's expression changed drastically.
She has been a crown princess for so long, and she is not a woman who doesn't understand anything.
Hundreds of officials fell into disgrace, and the emperor was furious. This incident was a major event that could shake the foundation of the court!
"But His Highness the Crown Prince is now..."
"Princess, no matter what, you have to go in and inform the Crown Prince, otherwise there will be an uproar. You are not unaware of His Majesty's temper!"
Jia Liang had a sad face and sighed.
Seeing this, Sun Ruowei gritted her teeth and showed an embarrassed look on her face.
However, she still realized the seriousness of the problem, so she hurried into the bedroom.
When Zhu Zhanhe saw the person coming, a smile appeared on his pale face.
"My beloved concubine, why are you here?"
"Your Highness, something happened. Lord Jia, the Qing of Dali Temple, came and called Baiguan Fuque. Your Majesty is furious!"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhanhe's expression froze, and an angry look appeared on his face.
"Those idiots are so damned!"
"For their own selfish interests, they openly went against their father. Do they still remember their duty as ministers?"
Zhu Zhanhe figured out the trick in this in a blink of an eye, so he became extremely angry.
Those officials and gentry were simply asking the emperor to abolish the New Deal and kill Yang Shiqi, the person who promoted the New Deal, simply because their interests had been shaken by the spread of the land.
However, the plan of dividing the land into two households is a national plan formulated by His Majesty the Emperor. It has been planned for several years. How could it be interrupted because of these clowns?
The more joyfully they danced at the moment, the angrier His Majesty the Emperor became, and in the end these clowns were not far from death.
It's just that the prince Zhu Zhanhe can't stay out of the matter now. He must do something. Otherwise, if the emperor and the gentry are really at odds, then the Ming Dynasty will probably not be able to function!
When he thought of this, Zhu Zhanhe couldn't help but sigh.
"My beloved, please change my clothes quickly."
"Your Highness, do you really want to go?"
Sun Ruowei dissuaded her worriedly: "You haven't recovered well yet, so why bother getting involved?"
"Moreover, Your Majesty is in a moment of rage. If you go to intercede for those officials and gentry, I'm afraid it will make His Majesty dissatisfied with you. Why bother?"
After hearing this, Zhu Zhanhe smiled bitterly and shook his head, smiling and comforting: "Don't worry, it's nothing serious."
"This is the responsibility of my old Zhu family as the crown prince!"
"Whether it's Zhu Biao, Prince Yiwen of the Hongwu Dynasty, or Zhu Gaochi, the late prince of the Yongle Dynasty, which one didn't come here like this?"
"You can't just ignore it and let the emperor and the officials completely quarrel, right? If there is no one to mediate and let the father's temper be allowed to run wild, the Ming Dynasty will probably be completely in chaos!"
Sun Ruowei was dumbfounded when she heard this and didn't know how to speak.
It’s really not easy for these princes of the Ming Dynasty!
The prince Zhu Biao of the Hongwu Dynasty, the prince Zhu Gaochi of the Yongle Dynasty, and now the prince Zhu Zhanhe of the Wude Dynasty not only have to handle court affairs, but also appease the emperor above him and act as a bridge between the emperor and officials. This is too sad. A little more.
"Your Highness, I'm sorry for you!"
Sun Ruowei's eyes turned red and she sighed.
Zhu Zhanhe tightened her little hand and smiled.
"Why bother? This is the responsibility of the Ming Prince!"
The couple comforted each other while changing clothes.
Soon Zhu Zhanhe walked out of the palace and saw Jia Liang waiting anxiously.
"Jia Siqing, let's go!"
Jia Liang looked up and his face instantly showed a look of joy.
However, when he noticed Zhu Zhanhe's pale face, his heart suddenly clenched.
"Your Highness, you are so cold..."
"It's okay, it's important, let's go!"
Zhu Zhanhe waved his hand and hurried to Qianqing Palace.
Jia Liang followed him with a complicated expression.
How lucky the Ming Dynasty was to have such a prince.
When the two arrived outside Qianqing Palace, they saw all the officials kneeling on the ground, including Gu Zuo, Jian Yi, Xia Yuanji and other court ministers.
The Wude Emperor was sitting on the dragon chair, eating melon seeds with relish and spitting out the melon seed shells from time to time.
Seeing this situation, Zhu Zhanhe was a little dumbfounded.
His biological father has a really bad temper.
How can there be an emperor who humiliates his important ministers like this?
"My son has met my father!"
Zhu Zhanhe didn't have time to think about it and fell to his knees directly on the ground.
Zhu Gaoxu glanced at the prince and said unhappily: "What are you doing here? Go back to recuperate!"
After all, he is his cheap son, and Zhu Gaoxu is always very kind to him.
Upon learning that this boy was infected with the cold, Zhu Gaoxu immediately asked him to rest in peace and cultivate himself, which would also prevent him from getting involved in the fight over the New Deal.
But since Zhu Zhanhe was determined, he naturally didn't want to leave easily.
"Father, please calm down. These old men have worked hard for the Ming Dynasty all their lives, and their bodies are already weak. Why don't I just let go..."
"What? Are you here to win people's hearts?" Zhu Gaoxu said coldly, and with one sentence he was so frightened that Zhu Zhanhe quickly lowered his head.
This is really heartbreaking!
Zhu Zhanhe was the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty. If he truly took the reputation of "bribing people's hearts", he might be impeached.
Just by the emperor's words, Zhu Zhanhe understood that his father was extremely angry.
What happened today is probably going to be hard to get right.
"Father, as the prince who supervises the country, this time the officials have angered Long Yan. The blame lies with my inability to supervise the country. I ask my father to punish me!"
As soon as these words came out, all the officials were in an uproar, and they all looked at the kind and kind prince with moved expressions.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
"Prince!"
The prince's body and bones were not healed yet. As soon as he heard that they were suffering, he immediately dragged his sick body and came to plead for them, and he also had to bear all the blame for the crime. He was really kind and unparalleled!
Zhu Gaoxu looked at this cheap son helplessly and wanted to scold him, but considering that he was still suffering from cold, he could only sigh in the end.
How does he feel that the development model between himself and the prince is more and more like that of Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang and Yiwen Prince Zhu Biao, Yongle Emperor Zhu Di and cheap brother Zhu Gaochi.
The emperor is a willful tyrant, and the prince is an unparalleled benevolent and wise ruler.
Is this really a tradition of the old Zhu family?
"okay."
"Then you should kneel down too!"
Zhu Zhanhe: "???"
Officials present: "???"
Damn it?
its not right?
Shouldn't you go down the steps?
