Wen Yuren heard what Wen Tiren said, so he asked Wen Tiren: "What do you mean, brother, when I go to Jiangnan to serve as governor this time, I will only the eldest son of the emperor follow suit?"
Wen Tiren glanced at Wen Yuren and replied: "That's too obvious! Because the emperor's eldest son is not partial to personal interests, and he was demoted because of the Kashima incident, so not many ministers in the court are willing to associate with him, even if they see him Since he is the eldest son, those who support him in their hearts will not be too warm with him. They all know that the eldest son of the emperor will really become the emperor in the future, and you will not be treated specially just because you took refuge long ago, so , what’s the point of just following the emperor’s eldest son’s lead now? Not only will you be despised by His Majesty, but you will also be despised by the emperor’s eldest son, and you may even be killed!”
"A fatal disaster?"
After hearing this, Wen Yuren couldn't help but feel nervous, and quickly asked about Wen Tiren.
"That's right, it's a fatal disaster!"
Wen Tiren replied.
"Brother, please teach me."
Wen Yuren hurriedly asked for advice.
"Your Majesty does not want anyone to see that he is interested in the eldest son of the emperor. In other words, he has to use this method to conceal his long-standing attachment to the eldest son of the emperor. Don't imitate Yang Xiu."
Wen Tiren continued to reply.
"When I go to Suzhou this time, how should I get along with the eldest son of the emperor who is also going to Jiangnan to serve as the censor?"
Wen Yuren replied.
"Don't talk about personal affairs, only talk about business. Let the eldest son of the emperor see your ability, and let His Majesty see it! However, if there is an opportunity, try your best to impeach all officials who have secretly contacted the seventh son of the emperor and have done something illegal! Discovered One, criticize the other!"
Wen Tiren said.
Wen Yuren was quite surprised after hearing this: "Didn't you say that the seventh prince is the eldest son of the emperor? Why does my brother want to make things difficult for me and the seventh prince?"
"Just do what I ask you to do! Being a brother has its own meaning!"
"We, the Wen clan, must know how to hedging our bets!"
“Besides, the best way for a minister is to look like a lonely minister, loyal only to His Majesty!
Wen Tiren continued to reply.
After hearing this, Wen Yuren nodded in understanding and replied: "Yes!"
…
"Your Dongchang must closely investigate which officials will make friends with the seventh son of the emperor after he returns to the capital. Anyone who makes friends with them will strictly investigate everything they do!"
Zhu Youxiao also gave the same instructions to Han Zanzhou, the admiral of Dongchang.
Zhu Youxiao made new arrangements after knowing that his seventh prince, Zhu Cixi, was willing to accept his appointment and come to Beijing to serve as an official, Ke Zuoji.
He wanted to use himself, the seventh prince, to screen out some of the ministers in the court who had evil thoughts and opportunistic intentions, and then demoted these people to overseas or outside the officialdom in the future, so as to provide more young and outstanding people. Scholars occupy their position.
Therefore, Zhu Youxiao asked Dongchang to conduct a strict investigation on the ministers who had frequent contact with the seventh prince after he came to Beijing.
"The minister obeys the order!"
Han Zanzhou was quite surprised after hearing this.
He didn't expect that his emperor would prepare this trick, and he didn't know how many ministers would be tricked into it.
"Your inner factory should also closely supervise the investigation of the East Factory in supervising which ministers the Seventh Prince associates with. Once someone from the East Factory is involved, report it to me immediately!"
In addition to giving orders to Dongchang, Zhu Youxiao also issued the same order to Wang Chengen, the admiral of the inner factory.
"The minister obeys the order!"
Wang Chengen was also surprised, but he did not expect that His Majesty the Emperor was still preparing this move and actually wanted to use the Emperor's seventh son to take the initiative to find officials with evil intentions.
Wang Chengen had to admit that his Majesty was really scheming.
It is undoubtedly the most correct thing for me not to play tricks on him all the time.
Because the emperor himself is really the same as Shizong, even his own son is also in his scheme.
…
"Lee Guo Gong, from what the students see, there is actually no need for the existence of Dongchang and Neichang. Those who govern the country should not be suspicious of each other, but should trust each other. My father is wise and can naturally distinguish between right and wrong. Knowing Dongchang and Neichang Among the things reported by the factory, which ones are trustworthy and which ones are not, the kings of later generations may not be so clear! It may even affect the fairness of the judiciary. Therefore, from the student's point of view, after the father emperor has passed down the generations, the king who succeeds must first of all What we do is to abolish this second factory!”
On the way to see Zhu Xieyuan off, the second prince Zhu Cican talked about the future direction of the government, so he expressed his inner thoughts to Zhu Xieyuan.
After hearing this, Zhu Xieyuan was not able to express his position directly.
Because as an assistant minister, he knew that after he became an official, if he wanted to live a peaceful life in the future, he could no longer get involved in politics.
Therefore, Zhu Xieyuan only replied: "What Your Highness said is not unreasonable. However, it is better to have the east factory and the inner factory to have it. It is better not to have it."
Zhu Xieyuan said this as if he didn't say anything.
Zhu Cican was quite disappointed and embarrassed after hearing what Zhu Xieyuan said.
He originally thought that people like Zhu Xieyuan, who belonged to the scholar-bureaucrat class, would support his behavior of returning judicial investigation power to the civil service group, and Zhu Xieyuan would agree with it.
But he did not expect Zhu Xieyuan to be so cautious and unwilling to let others know his political attitude easily.
And for this reason, Zhu Cican could not know Zhu Youxiao's political attitude through Zhu Xieyuan.
"What your Highness sees is wise! Not only is there no need for the existence of the East Factory and the Inner Factory, there is no need for the West Factory. These three factories plus Jinyi and Yulin Erwei have caused no trust between the emperor and his ministers! I regard you as the king. Just like the King of Hell, who is both fearful and hateful, while the king treats his ministers like thieves, both guarding and guessing. If this continues, wouldn't it be difficult for the scholar-bureaucrats to remain loyal to the clan of the dynasty?"
Chen Weisong, the right minister of the Ministry of Rites, who sent Zhu Xieyuan to Bozhou with Zhu Cican, actively agreed.
Therefore, Chen Weisong asked Zhu Cican at this time: "I don't know what Li Guogong and His Highness think of the current imperial court's plan to relocate the Jiangnan clan to India?"
"I need to ask Duke Li about this first. Duke Li was once an auxiliary minister, so he should know better."
Zhu Cican said with a smile.
Zhu Xieyuan smiled and said: "How could I know this? Your Majesty didn't let us discuss it, so I resigned and left."
Zhu Cican nodded because of this and replied: "After all, Duke Li is a loyal person to the country. Although the relocation of the big family is a bit unkind, it is indeed conducive to restraining annexation."
"Your Highness, you are confused!"
Chen Weisong directly refuted Zhu Cican at this time.
Zhu Cican asked hurriedly: "Why am I confused?"
"Relocating a large family to separate their flesh and blood is clearly a harsh government!"
"If we really want to suppress mergers, we can simply separate them. How can we force large households to relocate overseas? Isn't this benevolent government?"
Chen Weisong asked.
Zhu Cican was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "That makes sense."
"Ouch!"
At this moment, an old man fell on the bluestone street in front of Zhu Cican and screamed miserably.
Zhu Cican was too lazy to call the guards around him to help him, but was going to help the old man himself. But as soon as he took the old man's hand, his hand was grabbed by the old man, and the old man shouted: "You knocked him down." You can't run away from me!"
Zhu Cican was quite surprised.
"father!"
"What's wrong with you?!"
"Are you OK."
The old man's children ran over and winked at the old man.
The old man nodded secretly to his children, then pointed at Zhu Cican and said, "He hit me!"
