Li Guang is dead.
In the end, he didn't say a word about the prince. Otherwise, there wouldn't even be a whole corpse.
Zhu Houzhao got up as usual,
The only difference is that Yang Tinghe sent a letter from Qingzhou.
The prince was originally reading Zhang Tianrui's advice on the Medical Palace, and was a little surprised when he heard Liu Jin holding the letter with both hands.
"Yang Tinghe's letter? How long has he been gone?"
Liu Jin replied: "It will take more than ten days to return to Your Highness."
It’s been more than ten days,
time flies.
During this time, he read and practiced calligraphy in the morning, practiced archery in the afternoon, and then went to Kunning Palace and Qingning Palace. Sometimes he had dinner elsewhere, and sometimes he returned to the East Palace, which was quite regular.
The weather in the capital suddenly turned cold, and the north wind hurt my face like a knife.
Zhu Houzhao's clothes have become very thick. From a distance, it looks like his head is embedded in warm white down. Sometimes it is difficult to bend because of his short hands.
Now it has become his habit to write some words every day, and after so many days of study, it is generally okay for traditional Chinese articles without punctuation...as long as they are not particularly obscure or uncommon words. Read.
It happened that Zhang Tianrui, the official of Zhongyun, spent this time writing a strategy for the Medical Palace. It can be seen that he put his heart into it. He mentioned in it that if civilians cannot afford medical treatment, they should charge as little or as little as possible. Therefore, it is necessary to When it comes to shortfalls, he mentions four words: make up for losses with profits.
It means charging less for the poor and charging more for the rich.
The idea is good, and it is a big breakthrough compared to this era. But the question of how to get the rich to pay more is actually not very well written.
But overall, Zhu Houzhao is satisfied.
He must also inject his own ideas into the specific plan. For these officials, his request is to "want to do this",
This person may not really care about the people.
It may also be a political speculation here.
This is not important yet.
As long as he is willing,
If you are willing, it means you are on the prince's side.
After reading this, Zhu Houzhao took Yang Tinghe's letter and read it.
The name of this letter is to express gratitude, which means that after arriving in Qingzhou, he became the prefect and began to bend down to understand the matters that concern the people. He wrote some of his "earnings" and will be able to have these. The credit gained was given to the prince.
If you hadn't sent me here, Prince, how could I have these experiences?
In addition, some greetings and greetings were also added.
"Yang Tinghe is really thoughtful."
After hearing the prince's compliment, Liu Jin paid more and more attention to this person.
The content of the letter is actually less important than the letter itself. Mainly Yang Tinghe thought of doing this, which shows that he thinks he is the prince's man.
"Yang Tinghe said that Zhang Tianrui practiced for him when he was out of Beijing, and he was regarded as a gentleman for a while, so he recommended him. He also said that Zhang Tianrui was coming to pay homage to me." Zhu Houzhao slipped Liu Jinti over and asked, "Why haven't you come today?"
Could it be that Liu Jin is dishonest again?
Liu Jin was also stunned, with a sense of injustice, and his old face was full of bitterness, "Your Highness, after His Highness's lesson last time, how dare I make things difficult for him again? Zhang Zhongyun has been back on duty for many days, and he has always been fine. I also I don’t know… why he doesn’t come.”
"Then is he there? Go and ask."
"Yes, slave, go right away."
The result of the last question... was that I didn't dare to come.
This made both of them a little bit dumbfounded.
"Your Highness, when...he was sick, he was afraid of it. This man is timid."
"Then this is too small, isn't it?" Zhu Houzhao gently threw his memorial on the desk, feeling helpless.
But there are other thoughts in my heart. At least those who are timid don't dare to be greedy for money.
When employing people, you must put them in their proper positions.
"Do you want to call him?"
"No, I'll scare you later." Zhu Houzhao picked up his pen and realized that the ink had dried.
Today, it's too cold.
"Call Qiuyun over."
Since Yang Tinghe wrote the letter,
He also wants to write a reply.
I have been practicing calligraphy for many days, and it’s time to write something serious.
When he mentioned the letter and saw Qiu Yun, Zhu Houzhao suddenly remembered the last conversation he had with her.
"Qiuyun, last time I asked you to write a letter to your brother, have you finished it?"
The girl was also a little surprised that His Highness the Crown Prince could still remember this matter.
"The letter is written."
"Then go get it and ask someone to deliver it to you later."
"My servant thanks His Highness for your kindness." Qiu Yun saluted formally.
Zhu Houzhao didn't care. He was thinking about writing something to Yang Tinghe. After thinking about it, he felt that it would be better if he could just send it directly to WeChat.
Qiuyun was also quick, and after a while, he came back with the letter.
The little girl handed over a folded white paper with four words written on it: From this to you.
These four small regular scripts with hairpins are extremely beautiful. The so-called calligraphy and painting are slightly narrow, but not wide.
While the pen is full of ink, there is no trace of stagnation.
Zhu Houzhao took the new one and put it on the desk. What he said... was actually unintentional. It suddenly formed a sharp contrast with the calligraphy of ghost paintings and talismans he wrote.
How should I put it? Looking at Qiu Yun’s handwriting, people who know that their handwriting is not good are silent.
Looking at what he wrote, both those who wrote well and those who wrote poorly were probably silent.
Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but twitch his eyebrows twice, and then subconsciously pulled the book over to cover it, and glanced at Qiu Yun with a guilty conscience.
"Ahem." He clenched his fist and coughed twice, "Liu Jin, have there been any changes in the DPRK situation recently?"
Qiu Yun had no expression on his face, but when he retreated to a corner without being noticed by anyone, he secretly covered his mouth and chuckled.
Is it the court?
Strangely enough, the court was very heated before Li Guang's death, but now it has been quiet for many days. Because Li Guang had been the most favored person for many years, when he suddenly died, many people were unable to react.
Liu Jin said: "...there is one thing. Eunuch Xiao found an account book at Li Guang's house. It is said that Li Guang recorded in detail every official who sent him money, involving many ministers in the court, and even There are ministers from various ministries. Now, foreign ministers are very concerned about this account book."
oh?
Maybe I am afraid that I will take someone's money and forget to do something for others, so I like to write it down. After all, it is unethical to take money and do nothing. At such an old age, with so many people sending gifts...it's really hard to remember.
Zhu Houzhao was stunned after hearing this. He only knew that Li Guang had embezzled a lot of money, but he never thought that he would leave this account book.
"This ledger? What do you think?"
Liu Jin said slowly, "The officials are already celebrating the news when they know it, and want to make a big fuss about it. Although there has been no news in the past few days, one is because the news is too sudden. Some people don't believe it, and some people still don't believe it." I don’t know; secondly, it’s because Li Guang has been in power for many years and has party members both inside and outside, including many important ministers. If he wants to be overthrown... it’s not like he will be overthrown... This matter has to wait for someone to start it. But according to the emperor’s wishes Personality, even if this account book is true, I probably don’t want to make any more waves.”
The court situation may be in turmoil.
Zhu Houzhao stood up and walked around twice.
Now the civil servants have given him half of the merit of "defeating Li Guang". It was the prince who made the final decision and finally succeeded. It seems that the prince is also against Li Guang's faction.
However, he and Hongzhi have the same attitude, tending to live peacefully.
It’s not that he wants to protect those officials who bribed Li Guang.
But I don't like this Ming Dynasty version of 'identity politics' and 'label politics'.
Now some officials must have opened their mouths to characterize a certain official as "Li Guang's party member".
If things continue like this, factional disputes will become more and more intense, so what good is there?
"I would... also like to see this ledger."
This is a powerful tool for treating these civil servants.
It is benevolent and moral to save them from opening their mouths, and it is a serious crime for you not to do as they say.
"If it is His Highness, the Emperor should not refuse,"
Zhu Houzhao was indeed somewhat interested.
Could it be that you saw the two characters Wu Kuan on it?
Although he thought it was unlikely.
"Get ready, I'm going to Qianqing Palace!"
