You may not be angry, but your father may not be angry... Yang Xuan thought to himself.
But to win over the people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Yang Xuan felt that this should be the best way.
Under Zhu Biao's curious gaze, Yang Xuan took another vaccination:
"Your Majesty, your Majesty may be angry with your method."
"At that time, I will have to ask His Highness to speak to the minister."
I really don’t know what you are afraid of, my father values you very much... Zhu Biao thought to himself.
"Okay, just tell me. As long as I'm here, nothing will happen."
"That's good."
Then, Yang Xuan talked about his thoughts.
"Your Highness, the people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang miss Zhang Shicheng. A large part of the reason is that Zhang Shicheng treated them better than the current court treats them."
"Also, Zhang Shicheng died in the hands of His Majesty."
"As long as these problems are solved, we can regain the hearts and minds of the people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang."
"How to solve it?" Zhu Biao asked.
"First of all, we must not treat the people of Jiangsu and Zhejiang differently in the future."
“As the saying goes, if something is good above, it will be effective below.”
"Your Majesty doesn't like the people here, so the officials below will definitely become more serious."
"The people's lives are miserable, so they are naturally dissatisfied with the court."
"Thus I miss Zhang Shicheng."
Hearing Yang Xuan's words, Zhu Biao nodded and agreed in his heart.
"So, in this regard, Your Majesty must make changes."
"In addition, although Zhang Shicheng and His Majesty are enemies, Zhang Shicheng also made a lot of efforts to resist Yuanting."
"We cannot deny his merit."
“Instead, we must agree.”
“Repair his tomb and worship it.”
"Write his contribution into the history books and let future generations know that Zhang Shicheng also played a role in resisting Yuanting."
"In this way, the imperial court will occupy the great righteousness."
"From now on, no one will be able to discredit the imperial court in this regard."
"At the same time, the common people and gentry who have received Zhang Shicheng's favor in Jiangsu and Zhejiang will also identify with the current imperial court."
"Even if I still don't agree with it in my heart, I won't say anything else on the surface."
"After all, by doing this, the court has done its utmost to be benevolent and righteous."
Zhu Biao didn't answer, thinking in his mind.
The next moment he looked at Yang Xuan, he guessed something in his mind, and he tried to say: "When you say to worship Zhang Shicheng, you don't want me to worship him, right?"
"Uh...yeah."
"Your Majesty must not be allowed to do such a thing."
"But if the people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang are to see the court's attitude, then this person's status must not be low."
"After much thought, His Royal Highness is the most suitable person."
Yang Xuan smiled and did not dare to look at Zhu Biao.
He knew that Zhu Biao's cousin Zhu Wenzheng had the idea of betraying Lao Zhu because of Zhang Shicheng's bewitchment, and was eventually imprisoned and died.
This incident dealt a huge blow to Lao Zhu.
Zhu Wen is the only remaining son of Brother Zhu, and Lao Zhu has great trust in him.
One can imagine the pain Lao Zhu felt at being betrayed by his most trusted relative.
Therefore, it is impossible to say that Zhu Biao has no objections to Zhang Shicheng.
"If His Highness is unwilling, it is actually possible to send a minister." Yang Xuan added immediately.
"Haha, you don't need to provoke me with words." Zhu Biao glanced at Yang Xuan and continued: "As the prince of the Ming Dynasty, as long as it is good for the court, he can win over the people of Jiangsu and Zhejiang and stabilize Jiangsu and Zhejiang."
"It's not impossible for me to go and pay homage to Zhang Shicheng in person."
"Besides, what you said is not unreasonable."
"The world was in chaos at that time, and our strength was still very weak."
"If Zhang Shicheng and others hadn't attracted Yuanting's attention, we wouldn't have been able to develop so smoothly."
"From this aspect, Zhang Shicheng still made contributions to the Ming Dynasty." Zhu Biao said with a smile.
"Not to mention, by recognizing Zhang Shicheng's achievements, the court can still have great justice."
"It's such a great benefit, why don't I do it."
"Your Highness is wise!" Yang Xuan was sincerely convinced.
Even though Zhu Biao's tone was full of reluctance, his mind and structure were those of a wise king.
Yang Xuan didn't know what would happen to the Ming Dynasty if Zhu Biao became the emperor.
"Glib tongue!" Zhu Biao laughed angrily.
"What I said is from the bottom of my heart." Yang Xuan looked sincere.
Zhu Biao obviously didn't believe it.
He knew very well what Yang Xuan looked like.
"Okay, come with me to meet your father later."
"Tell your father what you just said again."
"I will also persuade my father."
"yes."
…
Wuying Palace.
After listening to what Zhu Biao and Yang Xuan said, Lao Zhu was not as angry as Yang Xuan thought, but became thoughtful.
At this moment, he also understood the cause and effect of everything.
I know how big a mistake I made by treating the people of Jiangsu and Zhejiang differently.
As an emperor, all people in the world are his subjects, so how can he treat them differently?
He has now tasted the bitter pill.
It's just that at that time, he had just ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor. He was very proud and at the peak of his life. He didn't take the advice of some ministers to heart at all.
Now after more than ten years of accumulation, Lao Zhu has a deeper understanding in his heart.
Emperor, it is true that you cannot be dominated by personal emotions.
He agreed to repair Zhang Shicheng's tomb and pay homage to him.
But when Zhu Biao was asked to worship, he always felt unhappy.
Then he looked at Yang Xuan: "Do we have to let the prince go?"
To be honest, Yang Xuan really didn't want to face Lao Zhu, but seeing Zhu Biao beside him, he still had the courage to say: "Your Majesty, I know that Your Majesty may not be able to accept such a thing for a while."
“But it’s worth it when you think about the benefits.”
“Let’s not talk about winning the hearts of the people.”
"It's inevitable."
"The most important thing is that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince personally paid homage to Zhang Shicheng and affirmed his achievements."
"In this way, the prestige of His Royal Highness in the hearts of the people will be greatly enhanced."
"At the same time, the prestige of the imperial court can also be greatly improved."
"The people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang who miss Zhang Shicheng will also be grateful to His Majesty and call Him a wise king."
The benefits Yang Xuan mentioned just scratched Lao Zhu's itch.
It can be seen that there is a look of expectation and longing on his face.
"Father, for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, I am willing to go." Zhu Biao requested.
"What Yang Xuan said makes sense."
"It is not a good thing to blindly exert force. It is fine in the short term, but over time, this rebellion is the best example."
"Applying kindness and power together is the right way."
Seeing that the elder was resolute, Lao Zhu did not attack him.
He kept saying to himself: Zhang Shicheng is dead, the dead are the most important!
Let's give him some face.
"Okay, we agree."
