The three pavilion elders on the other side were not as laid-back as the two of them.
Once the imperial edict is issued, then as a cabinet minister, you must naturally act in accordance with the edict.
Liu Jiancai didn't care about so much. He just wanted to prevent the land from being seized by the powerful and punish those evil and corrupt officials.
To some extent, this is the same goal as Zhu Houzhao.
But he Liu Jian didn't want to, but Li Dongyang knew how to think, and Xie Qian even knew how to talk.
"Now it seems that His Majesty the Crown Prince and we have the same attitude. On His Majesty's side... the East Palace must have tried its best. Otherwise, who could have made His Majesty change his mind in such a short period of time? But since they are the same, it means that His Majesty should also I’m worried that the emperor will agree to the request of the two kings, but why does he never discuss it with us?"
Li Dongyang thought while writing, "The prince's wisdom is as wise as that of a demon."
In fact, if you take the whole picture from a higher perspective, you will see it more clearly. Li Dongyang roughly got it right, and he was filled with admiration after he got it right.
First, the prince saved Yang Tinghe and investigated Qi Kuan. And now it is justifiable to be strict and severe. The emperor's words were obviously angry, and no one could save Qi Kuan now.
Secondly, the prince still showed that he values the people and is close to the people. Although he was not used, he had expressed his position. If the imperial edict had not come in time, he would have gone to Qianqing Palace!
From another perspective, he was not involved in the whole thing, but it was all his influence, which was even more powerful.
Furthermore,
Cheng Minzheng...
Now all the vassal kings in the world should hate him. Although the vassal kings in the Ming Dynasty were of no use, just hate them if you hate them. Not to mention Cheng Minzheng, even ordinary civil servants were too lazy to pay attention to those vassal kings.
But it was different for Hongzhi. At least in this way, he would not be able to blame the emperor. The emperor asked the cabinet to re-vote twice, obviously disagreeing with it.
I can't bear to blame the prince. The prince is put in this position by people like them!
This is the emperor's mind. And it is obviously not the emperor's general style of dealing with things.
"Bin Zhi and Yu Qiao, we'd better come and settle these two matters first." Liu Jian has already drafted a decree, which prohibits the two kings from begging for land. After writing it, he has to seal it, "No matter what What is the purpose of the East Palace? These two things are ultimately beneficial to the country and the people. You two should not get carried away and think about what the ultimate goal of us people is."
That's what it says.
But Li Dongyang is still worried, "It's such a big detour, I guess there's something else waiting behind it."
…
…
afterwards.
Zhu Houzhao ran to Qianqing Palace and knelt down in front of his father.
Emperor Hongzhi was hiding under the quilt, so they all hurriedly got out of bed to help him up, "It's freezing on the ground, Zhao'er, what are you doing? Get up quickly."
"My son is unfilial."
"There is nothing unfilial. If my prince is unfilial, he will not tell the whole story. Now, no one dares to say anything detrimental to the stability of the court after getting to the bottom of a big scandal involving the encroachment of tens of thousands of acres of land by the imperial envoys. To the country, It’s still beneficial.”
He understands the truth.
Zhu Houzhao didn't really want to have a crush on him. First of all, the atmosphere was so uncomfortable. Secondly, even if he was very scheming, he shouldn't calculate it to this extent, even his father who was always good to him would not be included. ….
So it was just a scene. After all, the emperor was going against his true intentions, and he had to be given a step down.
Now that he said this, Hongzhi just went down the slope.
"Mo Bin also told me that although Beizhen Fusi doesn't have complete information, it still knows the situation of some officials. It's a pity that there are probably more bugs in the court. The trouble is, if we don't investigate from now on, if we don't With someone as capable as Yang Tinghe below, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep up."
Zhu Houzhao thought for a while and said: "Originally, the check was slower, so it doesn't matter. Because my father's anger can be dissipated not so fast. But this time, let's control it within the range we have mastered."
Emperor Hongzhi was not inclined to arrest too many people and make people panic. Now that Zhu Houzhao took the initiative to say this, it was more to his liking, "The emperor said
rational. "
Since it makes sense, then do it accordingly.
"Father, I still want to request an order."
Seeing the Crown Prince kowtow, Emperor Hongzhi's face looked slightly moved under the candlelight.
He pointed at Xiao Jing, "It's cold underground, go and bring the prince over."
The emperor was in poor health. Although it was getting warmer now, the imperial doctor and the queen asked him to cover himself with quilts to keep warm.
Zhu Houzhao was stunned by this blow.
What is this for?
If I don’t give you love, you will give me love, right?
If the emperor has this intention, no one can stop him.
Zhu Houzhao had no choice but to take off his shoes, get into bed, and be wrapped in it by Emperor Hongzhi.
Not to mention it's quite warm, and the emperor is in good condition, all kinds of incense are lit, and the smell is not unpleasant.
"Father...do you still feel a little sorry for Uncle Qi Wang and Uncle Yong Wang?"
Emperor Hongzhi touched his head and said slowly: "They are my imperial brothers after all, so they are naturally important. But compared with Zhao'er, they are not important. This time, the matter between King Qi and King Yong is also my fault. I have some feelings. Is it true that Zhao'er also has something to say and doesn't dare to say it to me? Are you afraid that I will be angry or that I won't agree with your opinion?"
Zhu Houzhao's eyes narrowed. After all, he still had the temperament of an adult. He liked to think about things from the perspective of gains and losses. He also knew that Emperor Hongzhi liked to protect his shortcomings.
It’s actually quite tiring.
But he always believed that people should not think about things naively.
You can't think that with the emperor's favor, he will agree to everything. If this is the case, then you might as well tell him that you will give in to me. But if that’s the case, you won’t be able to say it out loud, right?
So when thinking about how to persuade him, Zhu Houzhao had to use his brain and Xiao Jing's brain.
However, at this moment, in such a quiet night, with the emperor speaking to him in such a manner, there is no need to deny this issue.
So he remained silent, which was regarded as acquiescence.
"Zhao'er and I are close relatives, father and son. It has been said in ancient times that the emperor's family is ruthless, but this is not the case with Emperor Taizu and Prince Yiwen of this dynasty. I only have one son, Zhao'er. I envy Emperor Taizu so much."
That he could actually say such a thing was indeed unexpected by Zhu Houzhao.
Historical records record that Emperor Hongzhi had a good temper, but some historians believed that he was weak. People criticized him for being too nice to the feudal lord, his brother-in-law, and all these family members. But he is obviously a very sensible emperor, knowing what is good for the country and what is not. Why is he still doing this? ….
Zhu Houzhao sometimes felt that he should not be an emperor, but should go to the countryside and become a patriarch, so that all the good things could be given to his family.
The emperor must have had difficult to suppress emotions in the past few days. From his point of view, he had to take care of his son and his younger brother, but he couldn't do both.
The plan of 'Don't let me be known as the murderer of my uncle' might have really stung him. Otherwise, it shouldn’t be possible to convince him so quickly.
So, maybe the emperor was afraid at this moment. He was afraid that the things he cared about would disappear, just like the vague distance between his son and him.
"Father, I have been studying these days and have read a lot of stories about past dynasties. Sometimes I am afraid." He thought of a reason and even leaned into the emperor's arms when he said this.
"Afraid?" Emperor Hongzhi was now in a state of emotional outburst. Hearing what his son said, he was very stern, "Did those ministers teach you poorly?"
"Father has misunderstood. They are all famous and learned gentlemen. What I am afraid of are those stories. Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty killed his eldest brother and imprisoned his father. Emperor Sui Yang even killed his father. These Why aren't you afraid? When my father mentioned my ancestors, let alone my father, even my son felt that our Zhu family was better than them. The emperor also had a family... Sometimes my father felt that my father was the happiest in the world. Are you alive? You get up before dawn every day, and there are endless memorials. The world is so big, there must be a few things to add to the trouble every year. If one does not do well, he will be criticized by the ministers. They It’s the first name of a loyal minister
, but how can anyone in the world still be happy every day after hearing that they are not good? Have they ever thought about this? What's even more aggrieved is that even if my father is unhappy, he has to endure it, otherwise he will not act like a wise king. It's just that I can finally rest on weekdays, and occasionally I have the idea of enjoying myself, but I have to worry about how to write the history books. "
Emperor Hongzhi's eyes and nose were sore after hearing this. Even Xiao Jing didn't dare to tell him this! His hard work, his sadness...one day he was lucky enough to be told by his own son, and it touched his heart.
How could he not have red eyes?
"Zhao'er, needless to say...it was my father who had a misunderstanding." The emperor pinched his tears. He didn't want to be too weak in front of his children. "In the end, it has to be us, father and son. Zhao'er thinks for me, and so do I." Think about Zhao'er. We, father and son, don't care about Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty or Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty. No matter how powerful they are, they will be forgotten. Zhao'er need not be afraid. With my father and emperor here, if someone is disrespectful, my sword will be the same. sharp."
Zhu Houzhao took advantage of the situation and said: "Then my father, don't envy Emperor Taizu because of Prince Yiwen. My son is my father's Prince Yiwen."
"God has been so kind to me!" Emperor Hongzhi felt a clear spring flowing through his heart and couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh. Then he said: "I see that Zhao'er is a thoughtful person. If you have any plans in your heart, just tell your father. Didn't you just ask for an order?"
Zhu Houzhao thought, there was nothing urgent about anything else, but there was a problem...
He raised his head and said, "The investigation by Jinyiwei this time should cause some waves. Father, don't let go. How about leaving it to my son to handle it?"...
When Hongzhi heard this, he thought this was no big deal and there was no need to ask for an order. He could just kill it first and report it later. So he shook his head casually and teased him: "This is called... father and son going into battle?"
"That's right, father and son go into battle!"
"Okay!" The emperor looked quite interested, but he thought for a while and said, "How do you want to deal with the person you found?"
"Of course it's execution."
Hongzhi was surprised, "Will this make people panic?"
"Father, have you ever thought about..." Zhu Houzhao considered his words, "Investigating and punishing officials is not the ultimate goal. The ultimate goal is to return the fields to the people. But most of these officials are from aristocratic families in their hometowns, even if they are small , the family can be regarded as someone who is an official in Beijing. If it is not a serious matter, it is just a casual account, even if the court sends officials to allocate the fields, will the people dare to take it? Even if they take it, once the imperial envoy leaves, they dare not return it What?"
Even as an adult, Emperor Hongzhi would find it difficult to think of this kind of detail hidden in the countryside, which is terrifying to think about.
For the common people, the imperial court? emperor? Those are things that you will never touch in your lifetime, but if you offend the big family in front of you, you will be killed tomorrow.
Therefore, Zhu Houzhao was not cruel and murderous, he really had to do this. Otherwise, it is just a grenade blowing up fleas, watching the excitement and not solving the problem.
"How could there be such a person who doesn't take the imperial court seriously?!" Even though Emperor Hongzhi has a good temper, he is still an emperor after all.
Zhu Houzhao didn't say anything. Anyway, you are the master of the imperial court. Don't you know how powerful the imperial court is?
"That's why I said, don't let go. If you want to be effective, you need to deal with it seriously."
After talking to this extent, I guess he has gained the consciousness he should have.
Emperor Hongzhi looked at his son, gritted his teeth and said, "Since we have complied with your request and the matter has reached this level, why shouldn't we give up halfway?"
Um,
This sounds like a sentence.
The emperor gritted his teeth in Qianqing Palace,
Jin Yiwei was able to lift half of the sky outside. Mou Bin started counting people that night and arrested people overnight.
Royal Charter!
In the courtyard of Fusi in Beizhen, the sky was illuminated by torches one by one, with embroidered spring knives and flying fish suits. These gods of death that Zhu Houzhao had only seen in later generations were now moving because of his thoughts.
To be honest, during the Hongzhi Dynasty, the power of eunuchs and imperial guards was suppressed. Of course, the root cause was that the emperor was won over by civil servants.
In the silent night, groups of people came from the place that the world feared.
Coming out of the courtyard, the night in the capital was filled with chills.
Mou Bin personally led his troops to kick open the door of Yin Zaiqi's house, a member of the Literary and Selection Department of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
"Jinyiwei is in charge! Yuanwai Lang Yin Zaiqi accepted bribes and allowed his relatives to buy more than 6,000 acres of land in Longxi County, Zhangzhou Prefecture at a low price!"
When the Jin Yiwei escorted the old gentleman over, he still cried out: "You and I agree to buy and sell the land! Why did I buy it at a low price?"
Mou Bin kicked an official of Jinyiwei and said, "You're blind! You can call this wrong?! Let's change it, it wasn't a relative of the family who bought it cheaply, he bought it himself!"
"My subordinates will change immediately!"
"take away!"
"yes!"
Yin Zaiqi's expression was extremely exciting, "I want to see Lord Butang! I want to see the emperor!"
"You can't see anyone anymore." Mou Bin grabbed his collar and then scolded him coldly, "Take him away!"
He is a commander of the Royal Guards with a sense of justice. As long as he can eliminate harm to the people, he is very motivated and does not need an imperial edict.
"Next!"
Commander Mou was very arrogant. He had not been like this for a long time.
So the horses, torches, and noises moved from one alley in the capital to another. The officials who heard the movement felt uneasy and were afraid that someone was coming to find them.
But maybe, we really came to find them...
