The commander of the Jinyi Guards during the Hongzhi period was named Mou Bin. According to historical records, he was one of the few commanders who had the right path in his heart.
But Zhu Houzhao never treated people based on what was said in history books.
In the final analysis, it still depends on how he feels after contact.
Like Liu Jin, suppress them when appropriate, but if they are smart and useful, they will stay by your side.
Mou Bin is seven feet tall, with a straight back and an angular face, very masculine.
"... I just mentioned it to my father, but I didn't expect that it actually caused Commander Mou to have a big fight."
"Your Majesty, the Imperial Guards are the emperor's personal soldiers. They act according to orders and have their responsibilities."
The prince also walked out from behind the desk, "Okay. The matter is not complicated. The account book left by Li Guang said that Hu Guimin, the censor of Shaanxi Province, gave him money. I think this person must be corrupt and live a luxurious life. That's right. I don’t know if there are any other charges.”
The meaning of these words is profound,
Since it is typical,
Naturally, the bigger the guilt, the better. Don’t let the investigation turn out to be just a waste of money.
That's why Jin Yiwei is needed.
Mou Bin is a commander and a person with a strong sense of justice, so he naturally doesn't like Li Guang. Anyone who gives money to Li Guang is definitely not a good official.
He understood what the prince said.
Then there was a 'pop' and he suddenly clasped his fists, "Your Highness, don't worry! This kind of court bug, but there is evidence, I will never let him go unpunished!"
Zhu Houzhao didn’t say much else.
"It's not difficult, but it needs to be done quickly."
"I obey the order!"
"then you go."
"yes."
Sending Mou Bin away,
Wang Hao came soon.
Now he and the prince seemed to have a tacit understanding of each other, and they knew what the other wanted to say just by looking at each other.
But it was hard to say anything for a while.
"Mr. Wang, will you teach me an article today?"
Wang Hao bowed his hands and obeyed the prince's order.
"Your Highness is a beginner, so you should choose articles that are easy to understand. There is an article "On Gentlemen and Villains" by Wei Zheng of the Tang Dynasty, which is very suitable for Your Highness."
Zhu Houzhao refused to accept anyone who came, "Sir, please start."
"When I hear that a person is a king, he cares about the good and dislikes the evil. He should stay close to the gentleman and stay away from the villain. If he is good and good, the gentleman will advance; if he hates the evil, the villain will retreat..."
After reading this, the prince couldn't help but glance at Wang Hao.
I found that his face was as usual and he was reading very attentively.
"...Your Majesty is intelligent and powerful, with a heroic demeanor and a loving heart. He attracts many people, loves good but does not choose others, hates evil but cannot keep away from sycophants... A gentleman praises the goodness of others, but a villain criticizes others. Evil. When you hear evil, you must believe it, and the way of a villain will be long; if you hear good things, and you are suspicious, the way of a gentleman will disappear... If good complements each other, it is called a common virtue, and if evil complements each other, it is called a friend. Now it is pure and turbid Live side by side, there is no distinction between good and evil, use criticism as honesty, use common virtues as friends.”
The old gentleman is worried.
But Zhu Houzhao still listened to him finish reading.
And he also spoke to him directly, "Sir, are you telling me that after the edict, the clear and the turbid flowed together, right? But when did the clear and the turbid not flow together?"
Wang Hao didn't reply, but suddenly knelt down and hit his forehead on the ground.
"Your Highness, ever since I learned how to read and read history, I have been looking forward to meeting a wise king and a wise master for a moment! After entering the Zhanshi Mansion and teaching His Highness how to read and write, I am already convinced that my Lord will be a member of the Ming Dynasty in the future. Lord of England!"
Zhu Houzhao noticed that he spoke sincerely, and was a little surprised when he suddenly talked about it so excitedly.
I guess something happened.
So I put down my brush and started taking it seriously.
"Mr. Wang, what's going on?"
Liu Jin explained to the prince on the side, "His Royal Highness may not know what happened outside the palace. Mr. Wang, because he was a general for the country, he was whipped and criticized by many noble people. It is said that even the old father of the family also……"
Only then did Zhu Houzhao react.
Oh, yes. He, a later generation, is as thick-skinned as the Great Wall, and cannot see from one end to the other.
But people of this era are not like that,
Especially scholars like Wang Hao,
Thinking about that memorial, he faced a lot of criticism, which he had never encountered since he was born.
"I am willing to serve His Highness, and I have no regrets. I just want to ask Your Highness to promise me something!"
Liu Jin's expression changed. No matter how excited she was, she couldn't talk to the prince like this, "Master Wang..."
"It doesn't matter, just let him continue." Zhu Houzhao raised his hand to stop Liu Jin who wanted to talk.
"I ask Your Highness to promise that in the future he will become a sage king like me, Taizu and Emperor Taizong of the Ming Dynasty!" Wang Hao kept his head bowed, and his expression could not be seen.
But from the sound of this sentence, it seemed that there were tears.
It was hard for Zhu Houzhao not to be affected by a decades-old man who suddenly said such words with such emotion.
"Your Highness, since ancient times, the saints have been born in the prosperous times. In the prosperous times, the poet's poetry is as heroic as the towering mountain peaks. In the crisis, the poet's poetry is as miserable as the concubine in the cold palace. Moreover, all the dynasties have declined in the hundred years since the founding of the country. I The national power of the Ming Dynasty today is far less than that of Taizu and Taizong. After the battle of Tumubao, the court suffered heavy losses and its vitality was severely damaged. Don't mention that during Taizong's time, he conquered Mobei five times and captured the court three times. Even the defense was full of loopholes! As a result, The Tatars in the north are burning, killing, and looting as if they were in an uninhabited land! It is a great shame and humiliation to deceive our emperor like this!"
"Wang Chao!" Liu Jin was frightened when he heard this.
As a result, Zhu Houzhao gave him a cold look, "Shut up!"
Wang Hao continued to be excited, "I have always dreamed of recreating the mighty glory of our Ming Dynasty! So I risk my life today to beg Your Highness to make this great ambition! Become a generation of holy kings of our Ming Dynasty! Only in this way can we live up to the legacy of our ancestors!"
Zhu Houzhao's face was serious, but he couldn't laugh when faced with such a topic.
The mighty glory of the Ming Dynasty!
This is something that makes a man's blood boil.
Only in this way can the grievances in Wang Hao's heart be healed.
"Sir, please get up." Zhu Houzhao helped Wang Hao up, "This is what you said when you were wronged, sir, but it was precisely because of this grievance that you spoke so generously and fiercely today. What you just said was originally very disrespectful. However, I will not cure your crime. Not only will I not cure you, but I will also swear as the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty that I will definitely become a holy king!"
"The prosperous age described by the poets of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the submission from all directions during the reign of Taizu and Taizong, I will do the same! I also want to ask you, Wang Hao, are you willing to follow me?!"
After hearing this, Wang Hao didn't care about the prince's support. He had to kneel down no matter what.
And he shouted loudly: "It is a blessing in life for a man to be able to follow the Lord of the Ming Dynasty and make achievements in the world! I, the King, are willing to swear together with His Highness that throughout my life, I will serve Your Highness's name forever and devote myself to the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty until I die!" "
"good!"
Zhu Houzhao also felt a trace of passion, which is called the passion of a heroic husband!
Looking back at my previous life, working crazily in the city for a salary of several thousand yuan, it is really boring and sad. Where is the pride of a man!
"Liu Jin, show Mr. Wang your seat!"
Wang Hao also sorted out his emotions a little, and then began to say: "Your Highness, I have read the imperial edict. Your Highness's memorial to the king is very appropriate. In particular, the appointment of people in the court should not be limited to factional differences, so as to increase the number of strong ones." Pride. However, the matter of recommending Wang Yue will fall on the shoulders of His Highness."
Because the crown prince finally guided the matter into a matter for the ministers to reason with before the king.
Since the emperor has accepted your proposal. Then you'd better hope for success, otherwise it won't be fun.
Zhu Houzhao didn't care. He had met someone who had the same aspirations as him, and he would not be alone in the future. "And your bold Wang Hao. When the time comes, we will share the same difficulties!"
What he said was that he recognized Wang Hao as a gentleman.
"That's what His Highness said. If I can work with His Highness, it will be a happy life!"
"However, whether it really works depends on the results."
The prince is a little suspicious, otherwise he would not hold back.
But Wang Hao didn't seem to think so. He analyzed: "I feel that with His Highness's words and such an edict, this matter should be accomplished."
"Oh? Why?"
"People's hearts are sometimes lured by fame, sometimes by profit, and sometimes by love. His Highness's words let the ministers see the pride of the East Palace. This pride can shake people's hearts!"
