The news that Zhu Gaochi was appointed as the grandson of the emperor soon spread throughout Yingtian, and spread in all directions at an extremely fast speed.
Just like ripples on the water, it will constantly disturb the short-term peace. Anyone who knows this matter, as long as there is some culture, will be surprised.
Now that His Highness the Crown Prince is in the prime of life and has outstanding abilities, His Majesty is anxious to appoint the Crown Prince. He does not know why.
As for the ignorant people in Xingdou, how can they care so much? At most, they just know that something big has happened above.
As for whether Zhu Di or Zhu Xi became the prince, it has little to do with them. After all, aren't they all people named Zhu?
If you have time to deal with this, you might as well take care of the fields and try to increase the harvest so that your family can have enough meals.
The ancient political ecology was like this. The upper class and the lower class were almost isolated. The people only knew that the current emperor had changed, and life was indeed much better than before.
At least every household has a kitchen knife, so there is no need to apply to borrow one. There is also a surplus of food in the house, so that when the lean days come, several people will not starve to death.
People already feel good about the days when they can eat bran-pharyngeal vegetables. No matter what, it is better than being hungry and not even being able to eat Guanyin soil.
As for the emperor who killed many people and killed many officials, shouldn't he be killed?
We have a peaceful life, no matter what those officials do, they are at home, and they may have a lot of money.
The joys and sorrows between people are not the same. Some people are happy and others are sad.
When Zhu Yunwen first knew that his cousin was going to become the grandson of the emperor, he felt panicked and lost a lot of smiles on his face.
Later, he learned that the emperor's grandfather had made him the King of Huai, and he felt even more desolate. This meant that there was no legitimate reason, or the emperor summoned him, and he would never be able to return to Yingtian from now on.
He is not an ignorant child, nor is he like his naughty brother Zhu Yunxi who only cares about playing. On the contrary, he is more mature in mind.
Ever since his father Zhu Biao passed away suddenly, Zhu Yunwen knew that he needed to seize the opportunity in front of him and perform well in order to make Grandpa Huang value him more.
What can be done? It's nothing more than being kind, honest and filial, and moving closer to Zhu Biao.
Zhu Yunwen is well aware of his disadvantages and it is difficult to get the support of Huaixi nobles represented by Liang Guogong Lan Yu, but he also has advantages.
That was the reputation he had accumulated over the years, and his age. In addition, his mother had already been promoted to the concubine, so he could be regarded as the eldest grandson.
He was naturally heartbroken when his father Zhu Biao passed away. After all, if his father did not die, he would definitely inherit the throne.
By then, based on Zhu Yunwen's performance, there is a high probability that he will be appointed as the prince. There is no need to go through so much trouble now.
However, people are not as good as God, so Zhu Yunwen had to consider himself. After carefully counting the advantages and disadvantages, he knew what he had to do.
It's a pity that after working hard for a long time, he still didn't get favor. On the contrary, the fourth uncle came up from behind and picked the peaches directly.
He really didn't expect such a situation, but he still had a glimmer of hope in his heart. After all, his fourth uncle's reputation was not as good as his, so there was still some chance.
Zhu Yunwen saw hope in Zhao Mian's embezzlement case. He felt that with his fourth uncle's temperament and iron-blooded skills, he would definitely use this matter to make a big fuss.
When the time comes, heads are rolling on the ground, and the fourth uncle's image in the hearts of civil servants will naturally be worse, and he will have more opportunities.
However, the fourth uncle has grown up his brains, and instead of playing with these iron-blooded tactics, he has gained a good reputation with his gentleness. As for the dirty water and sewage, it is all on the shoulders of Liang Guogong Lan Yu.
Up to this point, Zhu Yunwen still had a glimmer of hope. Until yesterday, when he saw Zhu Gaochi, his heart suddenly thumped.
The moment they met, feeling Zhu Gaochi's kind temperament, Zhu Yunwen knew that it was over, everything was over.
All his advantages seemed particularly weak in front of Zhu Gaochi. Not only was this fat boy's knowledge equal to his own, but his brains were also superior.
Looking at the way Liu Sanwu looked at Zhu Gaochi, it was as if he was extremely fond of him, as if Liu Sanwu had just met him.
The boat has been built, and it is difficult to change it. Now, there is an extra sail fluttering in the wind on the boat. Sometimes, when the wind breaks through the waves, the sail will be hung directly to sail across the sea.
"Lost, Fourth Uncle, the situation has been established, and no one can shake it from now on."
Zhu Yunwen sighed and looked back at Yingtian under the dusk. The dusk scene made him alone and desolate.
In the Forbidden City, Wenhua Hall.
Zhu Gaochi was very busy today. He had to get up early in the morning to go to Wenhua Hall to study and accept the teachings of Liu Sanwu and others.
Compared with those in Peiping, Zhu Gaochi could clearly feel that Liu Sanwu and others were at a higher level. He was excited in his heart, and the difficult questions he had accumulated before were well answered.
As for the second and third children who cried for their father and mother, Zhu Gaochi couldn't sympathize with them. Xu Miaoyun beat them with a broom last night, and the crying and howling of the two brothers could be heard from a distance.
It's so miserable, it's so miserable.
When chewing the fruits, Zhu Gaochi always felt that the taste was missing. It was not until he heard the cries of his two younger brothers that he felt that the taste was right.
Anyway, this is not the first time this kind of thing has happened. Zhu Gaochi is not surprised. Even his father is frightened by my mother's methods, so he will not get involved.
After reading and completing his homework in the morning, Zhu Gaochi went to the Wenhua Hall to help handle government affairs.
It was said that he was assisting in handling the matter, but in fact Grandpa Huang did not come at all, and the co-operation was all left to him.
Fortunately, there are still a few ministers here, so Zhu Gaochi doesn't feel lonely. He can ask these ministers about many things.
However, everything must be decided. Zhu Gaochi just felt that his brain was not full, and he could not make up his mind on many things.
There are many truths in this sage's book, but the world's affairs are so complicated that a few sages' books can't solve them.
So, Zhu Gaochi asked about the affairs of the cabinet and said: "Master Zhan, how are the discussions on the affairs of the cabinet? Is there a specific charter?"
Zhan Hui shook his head bitterly. It was already perfect before, but His Majesty wanted to add military officers to it, which made many people dissatisfied.
According to their thinking, these military generals know nothing about government affairs and can only use them during wars. How can they involve national affairs and people's livelihood? If they still use these rough and tough men, isn't it breaking the rules?
Therefore, after two days of quarrel, the regulations of the cabinet have not been finalized, and Zhan Hui also has a headache.
This is something that His Majesty, the Prince, and the Emperor's grandson are all watching. As the leader, he is under a lot of pressure!
Things were not done well at the moment, and he felt uncertain, so he had to say: "There are still many items that have not been unified. In recent days, we have had a lot of discussions with ministers and others, but we really haven't reached a good conclusion."
When Zhu Gaochi heard this, he understood what these ministers were thinking. They just didn't want to disperse the power in their hands.
He admired in his heart that the emperor's grandfather was indeed right. These civil servants only wanted to seize more power. As for the important affairs of the government, they had to put them aside.
If we really go by their ideas, I'm afraid that as long as this cabinet department develops for a few decades, it will be no different from the former prime minister.
Immediately, Zhu Gaochi said: "Invite them to the Wenhua Palace to discuss matters. If no regulations are issued today, no one can leave!"
