Chen Ning obviously didn't want to hear such words. He flicked his sleeves and said: "Hu Xiang, my Hu Xiangye! How long has this been? You still have the time to tell these lies to me."
Hu Weiyong has improved a lot in his Qi cultivation skills since he defeated Wang Guangyang. He no longer had the impatience he had when he was competing with Yang Xian in the early years. He chuckled lightly and put down the langhao pen in his hand and said: "Guangzu, you are just too impatient. No matter what you do, you can't be particular." Step by step, we have already experienced what happened last time, haven’t we learned a lesson yet?”
Chen Ning's face darkened when he heard this. He beat his son with his own hands in order to gain fame, but he didn't expect that he accidentally beat him to death, which made the emperor dislike him. It was a glorious thing, so it was naturally a little uncomfortable to be provoked.
However, he could only endure the discomfort. If Hu Weiyong hadn't protected him, he would have been punished by the emperor for being unkind and unkind, let alone being an official in Beijing now.
When Hu Weiyong saw that Chen Ning had calmed down, he turned over the topic and said, "Don't be anxious. This matter has nothing to do with the officials in the government. Especially, you and I both served before the great cause of the Holy Emperor was accomplished. Why rush to express our position?" ."
Chen Ning took a sip of tea and said, "It's not that I'm in a hurry to get the job, it's that other colleagues are waiting for the Prime Minister's instructions. It's up to you to come up with an idea so that everyone can work with peace of mind."
Hu Weiyong knew that these people were not waiting for him to make up his mind, but wanted to use him as a shield. The sky might be falling, so naturally he would have to find someone taller to hold him up.
To be honest, he doesn't want to be the one who stands out, but in this position, he cannot tolerate you retreating. Only the prime minister who is supported by all officials must be courteous and courteous. Otherwise, Wang Guangyang will end up with everyone holding back sooner or later.
Those who govern people will be governed by others. This has been the truth since ancient times. Hu Weiyong pondered for a moment and said: "Zhongshu Province only obeys the holy orders. The Ministry of War and the Governor's Office have nothing to do with this matter. The officials of other yamen should ask for orders for the people."
"I'm afraid it's still not enough. Today is the sun, and Qian Gang has always been decisive in boosting the power of heaven. If Prime Minister Hu and Zhongshu Sheng don't take the lead, it will be difficult."
At this time, another person came in through the general chat room. He was Tu Jie, the newly appointed censor Zhongcheng, who was also a confidant promoted by Hu Weiyong. Tu Jie entered and saluted, and after roughly understanding the progress of the conversation, he stroked his beard and said: "It was originally a helpless situation, but His Highness the Crown Prince is like this Feng Wenzhan gave me the opportunity."
Chen Ning frowned and said: "Involving His Highness the Crown Prince is a taboo in this dynasty. Anyone who touches the dragon's reverse scale will die. Zhong Cheng has only been in the dynasty for two days. Don't you know how powerful it is?"
"It's impossible, but once His Highness's article comes out, even if I don't get involved, the literati in the various states won't cling to him? After all, His Highness is a disciple of Song Longmen and a disciple of the famous sect. Is it possible that he will go on a killing spree because of this?"
Tu Jie asked Chen Ning in return and then continued to say to Hu Weiyong: "Even if the Holy Emperor is furious, His Highness's reputation must be taken into consideration. This is the so-called throwing a rat into a trap."
Hu Weiyong nodded and smiled and said: "Remember that among those who excused Wei Guan Gao Qi this morning were former officials of Zhan Shifu. Combined with this article, there will be a big article."
"Since Longmen of the Song Dynasty has not yet returned to Beijing, he should send a letter to me, Shilin Taidou, the leader of the Ming Dynasty's literary circles."
Chen Ning thought for a while and said: "The rest of the people are easy to talk about. Chen Youzong, the general affairs envoy, has always been cautious and always regards the reputation of His Royal Highness as the most important thing. I'm afraid he has warned the people in the former Zhan Shifu."
"It doesn't matter. It's too late to silence now. It doesn't matter what the situation is. What's important is that in the morning, the officials of the East Palace interceded for Wei Guan, Gao Qi and others. In the afternoon, His Highness the Crown Prince openly published this article to the world."
Hu Weiyong stretched out his hand and stroked his forehead and said, "You still have to be measured. His Highness is not a simple person. You all know this too. You can use His Highness's name, but you must not go too far."
Tu Jie responded: "Don't worry, Prime Minister, we have our own sense of propriety, and we will definitely lift His Highness high, and he will never be stained with dust."
Chen Ning also nodded repeatedly. He had already incurred the emperor's dislike. If he was disliked by the prince again, then the Chen family would really be wiped out.
By the time the small gathering dispersed, officials and scholars from the Hanlin Academy and the Ministry of Rites had already made several poems in praise of the prince, especially Liang Lin, the head of the Ministry of Rites, who had been rewarded by Zhu Biao for his work on the Holy Gong Fu in the fourth year of Hongwu.
With the contact between Chen Ning, Tu Jie and others, the officials who wanted to petition Wei Guan, Gao Qi and others became more and more courageous. Some even went to contact the students of the Imperial College to seek an explanation for the literary scholar Lin.
At this time, the father and son who were at the center of the storm were still bending down to read the memorial. Obviously, they did not take this matter too seriously. After all, the Ming Dynasty was different from the Qin and Sui Dynasties. Although there were still some internal and external troubles, they were not enough to shake the foundation of the country.
Qin destroyed the six kingdoms, and Sui wiped out the north and south. However, Qin itself was one of the seven kingdoms. It had been married to the other six kingdoms for many years and had alliances with each other. The Sui usurped the Zhou Dynasty and conquered the world. The aristocracy was filled with nobles. In this case, the early stage of the dynasty would inherit Part of the early backlash, this kind of backlash is mainly the backlash during the system adaptation period and the counterattack of the remaining forces of the old era.
The Ming Dynasty was different. It was a new dynasty that was shattered and rebuilt. The remnants of the previous dynasty did not lie dormant in the government and the public. Instead, they were rushed to Mobei to graze. With Yanyun as a barrier, their counterattack was not a threat.
That's why Lao Zhu was determined to torment the gentry all over the world. He just treated it as idle time to beat the children on a rainy day. Otherwise, if it were like Qin Sui's situation, he would be too busy to be a paper framer, and there would be no leisure time to stimulate the gentry.
The father and son were busy until the evening, and Queen Ma had already sent people to urge them several times. It was estimated that if it didn't end, she would personally arrange for them to put down their government affairs and have a meal first.
Zhu Biao got up and escorted his father to Qianqing Gate first, then turned around and walked towards his East Palace. Fugui arranged for a sedan chair for the prince to ride on, but he refused. After sitting for a whole day, it was better to walk, and Zhu Biao is also used to thinking while walking.
Zhu Biao did not return to the East Palace until the sky had completely darkened. He was not in a hurry to eat, but took a bath to relieve his fatigue, and then had dinner with Chang Luohua. Naturally, there were his two sons, but they had already eaten. Enough to drink.
Chang Luohua didn't eat much for dinner, and then she served her husband with dishes. In fact, there was nothing to do. There were only a few dishes in total, and they were just enjoying the couple's atmosphere.
After Zhu Biao finished a bowl of rice and half a pancake, he put down his chopsticks, took the warm water to rinse his mouth and asked, "Has Mrs. Chen been here?"
"I have been here. The Chen family knows the etiquette. Mrs. Chen first went to Kunning Palace to thank her mother. Then she came here and thanked her concubines. Then she went to talk to Yunqing for a while and left soon. ."
Zhu Biao nodded and said: "In the future, you can make arrangements for this kind of thing, and you will be able to gain some favor."
Chang Luohua agreed with a smile. She was extremely smart and knew that this kind of right might not seem like much, but for a woman in the inner courtyard of the palace, being able to see her mother-in-law's family was something she longed for.
There are not many women in the East Palace now, but two more people will come in next month, and there will probably be no fewer than four or five in the second half of the year. It will soon become lively every year.
But fortunately, my husband is not the kind of man who will be obsessed with enchantment. As long as he maintains his integrity, no matter how many women there are, he will not be able to make waves.
Zhu Biao beckoned and took the eldest son and held him in his arms. The baby that sucked milk all day smelled like milk. It was very considerate to hold the small one in his arms. Although he didn't like children too much, he was his own biological child after all. .
"I'm a little fatter. You guys serve me well. If you have anything you want, please tell me."
The four nursemaids with broad minds hurriedly knelt down and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, the Crown Prince. The slaves and maids serve the Emperor and Sun Chang, the Crown Princess and the Queen, and I dare not ask for any more extravagant rewards."
Zhu Biao loved his children very much today, but the nanny had nothing to reward them with, so he could only reward them with their nanny as a token of appreciation.
These four wet nurses were all carefully selected. They were brought into the palace just after giving birth. Zhu Biao still felt a little guilty because he had never nursed any of his own children.
He pinched his son's calf, which was as fat as a lotus root, and said with a smile, "I haven't seen my own son in a few months. Fugui, I will arrange for the guards to send two of them home for a visit tomorrow, and the other two the next day."
As soon as these words came out, the effect was obvious, and the four wet nurses couldn't help but excitedly kowtowed in gratitude. Although they often sent home rewards, they had never seen their own flesh and blood before.
Chang Luohua also took over his youngest son and said: "There will be no more rewards for those who have too much. There are still a lot of new cakes made in the palace. Let's take them back tomorrow and give them to my parents-in-law to taste."
"The servants have thanked His Highness the Crown Princess. The servants will definitely serve the two young grandsons from now on..."
