Zhu Youxiao said: "The sage said: He is quick and eager to learn, and he is not ashamed to ask questions. The knowledge of the wise king is as broad as the sea. Fang Yizhi and others are all outstanding figures in the world. If you don't understand, just ask. Who is looking down on you?"
Zhu Youjian smiled: "Yes, as the emperor said, what's so great about me? From now on, I will definitely learn with humility and work hard to prosper the country!"
Historically, the younger brother was the king of the Ming Dynasty who lost his country. He had no ability to govern the country. How about studying the knowledge of the wise king and becoming a useful person to the Ming Dynasty! Brother Chen has always thought this way, but..."
Zhu Youxiao shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It's just that you are a little arrogant, unable to let go of your arrogance, and unwilling to admit defeat. It is precisely because I and the King Xian know your character that we don't really blame you. You, your character also needs to be tempered. Grind, do you understand?”
Zhu Youjian said: "My brother knows that I admit my shortcomings, but I feel a lot more relaxed. Thank you, my brother, for your enlightenment!"
Zhu Youxiao laughed and patted Zhu Youjian on the shoulder: "I am very happy that you can think like this. It seems that you have really learned a lesson from what happened today!"
"When you go back, join Maoxiang's team. It doesn't matter if you don't understand, and don't be afraid. I believe your intelligence is not inferior to others! Nongwu Village..."
Zhu Youjian said: "My brother must also take care of the affairs of Nongwuzhuang. I vowed to temper my mind. My brother is also aware of the emperor's painstaking efforts. I also understand the previous warning! The emperor said to Meng I come to ask my brother for the holy words! How could I let down my brother’s love and care!”
After he finished speaking, he solemnly saluted Zhu Youxiao and chanted: "Therefore, when Heaven is about to entrust a great responsibility to this person, he must first strain his mind, strain his muscles and bones, starve his body and skin, deplete his body, and disturb his place by walking." Because, if you are tempted to endure it, you will benefit from what you can't do."
"Brother Chen, let's go!"
Looking at the brand new Zhu Youjian.
Zhu Youxiao laughed loudly: "Okay! Okay! This is my Zhu family's good man! I am so happy to see you like this!"
Zhu Youjian was praised by his brother, and he was moved and happy, so he strode away.
Zhu Youxiao smiled as he looked at his brother's retreating back.
This stubborn younger brother finally woke up and put down his suspicion and emotions towards Huang Xiao.
As for Zhu Youjian’s suspicion...
Zhu Youxiao sighed thoughtfully. He was not a fool, but very smart. He could vaguely see some signs between the Queen and Huang Xiao from some clues.
Especially regarding the gossip between the two, although Zhu Youxiao did not delve into it, it may not be without reason.
But he didn't want to go into it at all. Even if there was really something between the two, considering Huang Xiao's contribution to Daming, it was nothing, and he would never care about it.
After all, compared to the country and the country of Ming Dynasty, compared to the well-being of hundreds of millions of people in Ming Dynasty, nothing else is important.
But will this happen?
If this is really the case, where should we go from here?
Thinking of the Ming Dynasty being prosperous, thinking of the mutual achievements between him and Huang Xiao, and thinking of the seemingly inseparable relationship with the queen, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but be stunned and remained silent for a long time.
…
at dusk.
In a Zen room near Chaoyang Gate of the Capital, on Dongsi Pailou Street, Daci Yanfu Palace.
There were four people sitting, headed by Xu Yunzhen, Duke of Dingguo.
On the left is another powerful Duke of Xu Da's lineage, Xu Hongji, Duke of Wei, who came to Beijing from Nanjing to watch the ceremony.
On the left is Zhou Yanru, the Minister of Household Affairs in Nanjing.
The right hand of Duke Dingguo is Gu Bingqian, the chief assistant of the dynasty.
After Zhang Ruitu and Shao Fuzhong came to the door together, Gu Bingqian was pushed out and participated in this secret meeting.
They originally planned to hide behind the scenes and try to fish in troubled waters, but the nobles represented by the two princes and the southern gentry represented by Zhou Yanru were both thousand-year-old foxes, so naturally they would not let them get what they wanted.
In desperation, he had no choice but to choose Gu Bingqian, the man with the highest official position, to come forward.
The reason why the southern gentry chose Zhou Yanru was that, on the one hand, Zhou Yanru was the flagship figure who became the number one scholar in Lian Zhong Hui Yuan in the 41st year of Wanli reign (1613)!
In addition, among the six ministries in Nanjing, the Ministry of Husbandry has the most real power, while the others, such as the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Industry, are in name only, just like the existence of a nursing home or a gilding institute.
At that time, the Nanjing Ministry of Household Affairs was responsible for collecting taxes from southern Zhili, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Huguang and other places, accounting for more than half of the Ming Dynasty's fiscal revenue. It was also responsible for important tasks such as grain storage, water transportation, and salt diversion and prospecting!
He is the most powerful person. In the face of reform, Zhou Yanru was naturally unwilling to surrender.
Secondly, there is the Nanjing Ministry of War, which controls more than 40 guards in southern Zhili and other places. This position is generally commanded by Xunchen. In Tianqi Dynasty, Funing Marquis Zhu Guobi commanded various guards.
The Duke of Wei, Xu Hongji, was also a garrison in Nanjing, and he was the actual powerful Duke. As for the post of Shangshu, it was just a decoration.
The third one is the Nanjing Officials Department, which is responsible for the above-mentioned six-yearly capital inspections in the southern places, and the Beijing Officials Department is not allowed to interfere with the Nanjing Officials Department’s Beijing inspections.
Therefore, the Nanjing Ministry of Civil Affairs also had greater control over southern officials.
The reason why the four of them chose the Daci Yanfu Palace was mainly because Huang Xiao pretended to be a ghost, which inspired the officials and people to believe in gods and Buddhas. The Daci Yanfu Palace was very close to Huang Xiao's former residence.
For some reason, the Great Ci Yanfu Palace was on fire!
And it’s so hot!
I don’t know where the news came from. The reason why King Xian transformed from a recognized fool into a banished immortal with great supernatural powers was mainly because his late father Huang made a great wish in the Yanfu Palace of Daci and stayed there. It was not until he died to worship that the gods and Buddhas in the sky were moved...
There are various other rumors, all of which are very convincing. In short, the magical power of the wise king came from the Yanfu Palace of Daci. There are many believers in this matter!
In addition, next year's Dragon Boat Festival will bring a heavenly punishment to the Chaoyangmen area. This matter has been announced to the world by the emperor, and relocation work has begun.
Although the emperor's will and arrangements gave many officials and people in the capital a lot of peace of mind, panic was still unavoidable.
At this time, Zen Master Hongfu, the host of the Yanfu Palace of Daci, presided over a large ceremony to pray for the people of the capital in order to avoid disasters.
It was also announced that Daci Yanfu Palace will guard this place and will not move away!
As soon as the news came out, the Great Mercy Yanfu Palace soared into the sky, becoming a benevolent place for rescuing people in need! There is an endless stream of believers who come to burn incense and make wishes every day.
The guest wing is hard to find.
The industrial real estate and land owned by Daci Yanfu Palace were also robbed at extremely high prices.
Because everyone believes that with the blessing of the Buddha, the Great Merciful Yanfu Palace can definitely avoid disasters. Even if there is a punishment from heaven, it will not be punished on one's own head...
Gu Bingqian and Zhou Yanru came to Yanfu Palace along with the officials who came to the temple to offer incense, so naturally they would not attract anyone's attention.
The two princes had already moved into the Daci Yanfu Palace yesterday, nominally to pray for the Ming Dynasty and the emperor.
After the novice had some fragrant tea, he went out and closed the door behind him.
