After leaving the East Palace, Wang Hao still found Wang Hua.
There are some things he still feels uneasy about if he doesn't say them.
The main reason is that there are some things that the prince is not easy to say.
So as soon as he left the palace gate, he called people into his carriage.
"Old Heavenly Official, what do you have to say?"
"How many years older are you than me, and you have been an official in the same court for so many years. I shouldn't ask this. But I really feel a little worried." At this point, Wang Hao's voice weakened a little, and he leaned closer and asked, "De Hui, do you really understand His Highness’s intention of asking you to patrol Zhejiang?”
Wang Huatong was startled, "In addition to understanding the secret relationship between southeastern businessmen and officials, is there any other purpose?"
Wang Hao didn't know what to say.
This Wang Dehui had been the chief envoy in Shandong for many years, and actually had relatively little contact with the prince.
"Dehui, His Highness has been involved in politics for several years. But one of the things he has done has no purpose, or is it for himself?"
Wang Hua could no longer understand, so he raised his hand and said humbly, "Please give me some advice."
"Let's put it this way. The money your Highness got from Zhejiang has been saved for no use. But have you built any palaces or pavilions, or found any novel treasures? None. Your Highness's money is for urgent matters. , and so far, it is not over yet. Since it is not over, no one can let it end. In the eyes of people like Liu Daxia, His Highness is extorting money from Zhejiang and competing for profits with the people. It is about to end. Do you think His Highness will be satisfied with this way of making money?"
Wang Huaruo nodded with understanding.
"... I understand what Heavenly Official means, but His Highness belongs to the East Palace. Even if Liu Daxia is the Minister of War, what can he do to His Highness?"
Wang Hao cited another incident as an example and said: "When He Wending died, it was said that Confucius and Mencius were the masterminds behind it. Liu Daxia couldn't do anything to His Highness, but Confucius and Mencius could. Their people were in Zhejiang and joined Wei Bin. "Sure, if this is the case, and Wei Bin is convicted, and Liu Daxia takes the opportunity to ask His Majesty to recall his internal officials, then the profits of the businessmen protected by Wei Bin will naturally not reach His Highness. How can His Highness's financial resources continue?"
"Why is this?"
Wang Hao was not afraid to say, "His Royal Highness said that people who were engaged in sea trade smuggling in Zhejiang had part of their money taken away."
Once you say this, if you don't understand it, you are a fool.
Because the forbidden sea is the ancestral system established by Zhu Yuanzhang.
As a prince, it is impossible for him to publicly declare that he is sending people to engage in smuggling. What is this called?
So as long as Zhejiang Eucalyptus is released,
Whoever is found will take the responsibility himself. From Hangzhou to the capital, the prince cannot be mentioned a word. Not to mention, when you get to the capital, the prince might be able to find a way to save your life.
If you mention it, you may not be able to reach the capital alive.
Many things, if they don’t go on the scale, they won’t weigh two ounces, and if they go on the scale, they won’t weigh a thousand kilograms.
Although everyone knows it in their hearts, even Liu Daxia dare not say it now. He can't say it even if he has evidence, and he can't delve into it without evidence. Everyone's guns are aimed at Wei Bin.
A eunuch collecting money - more like what a eunuch does.
As soon as this eunuch fell, Mei Kejia lost his official backer.
This is actually the original driving force behind the outbreak of Eucalyptus in Zhejiang, because it is best for local businessmen. ….
After listening to this, Wang Hua began to understand how deep the water in Zhejiang was.
It sounds simple. It's just that His Highness is taking silver from Zhejiang through secret channels. The officials in the DPRK firstly feel that His Highness is competing for profits with the people, and secondly, they are afraid that His Highness will use this to raise troops. They can't stop him, so they want to Turn your attention to Zhejiang.
As for whether there are local businessmen behind it, that's what you need to see.
Wait a moment……
"Then His Highness will send his subordinates over?" Wang Hua opened his eyes widely.
Wang Hao nodded, "If Wei Bin is really greedy and is found to have problems, even His Highness may not be able to protect him. At this time, Liu Daxia is still pleading with His Majesty to recall the internal officials, so in order to protect Zhejiang, His Highness It can only be sent
You passed. "
This was the real purpose of Wang Hao leaving the palace to have a few more words with him.
silver,
Or to protect money.
Wang Hua pursed his lips, his expression seemed a bit complicated.
Wang Hao narrowed his eyes and said, "Dehui, do you want to ask, is His Highness really competing for the interests of the people?"
Wang Hua was a little panicked for a moment, but he quickly adjusted back and whispered: "...I just feel a little regretful. That Liu Shiyong (characterized by Liu Daxia) is not a heinous and sycophantic minister. If I can help him sincerely, His Highness Zuo is also of some benefit to Jiangshan Sheji."
"Then do you think Wu Yuanbo (characterized by Wu Kuan) is heinous?" Wang Hao shook his head, "Since the eleventh year of Hongzhi, I have told people that the current prince is extremely talented, wise and decisive, and his ambition is broad and unmatched by ordinary emperors. And since ancient times, a wise lord will never be controlled by his ministers, and a wise king will never tolerate humiliation. The Tatars invaded our borders many times, destroyed our border cities, and plundered my people. At this time, we still say that we must not engage in war rashly. Who can explain this to His Highness? You, or me? Or Liu Shiyong?"
"As for the money, Dehui still remember the first question I asked you?"
Wang Hua's memory was naturally not that bad, so he spoke slowly, "His Highness has never built a palace, nor has he searched for a treasure."
"Not only that, in February this year, His Majesty planned to build the Life Extension Pagoda and the palace corridors and walls, etc., and ordered the cabinet to write an edict. However, he gave up after being advised by Mr. Liu Ge. At that time, His Majesty did not even think of providing money."
At this point, there is no need to say anything more.
Who is the Crown Prince and why he does all this? A person with a scholar background cannot understand this.
Wang Hua bowed his head and said, "Thank you so much for your teaching today, Heavenly Official, so that I won't miss the important event of His Highness."
"It's all for His Highness, and I still have some friendship with your son. Although he was demoted, I know that Your Highness still thinks of him. Those words just now, I said to you on behalf of Your Highness, the next sentence I am telling you myself."
Wang Hao was more or less thinking of Wang Shouren before he said this to his father, "You should take Wei Bin's fate as a warning. Your Highness has never been someone who dared not take responsibility. He protected Zhang Yong, Yang Ting and the capital. It can be seen, but the affairs of Zhejiang should not involve His Highness. As for what we do... Hey, strong wind blows down the sycamore tree, and others will comment on it, but just hope that you are clear of guilt. "….
Wang Hao felt that Wang Shouren had committed a crime and it was not worth mentioning.
But when Wang Hua went to Zhejiang, if he didn't have a clear mind, big problems would easily occur.
At that time, His Highness will not be able to use Wang Shouren even if he wants to.
Wang Huaxin said: No wonder this dignified official minister wants to mention his useless son.
This is a roundabout way of telling him that this trip is dangerous, but as long as the prince is not dragged into the water, his family will be fine, and vice versa.
These are truly life-saving words.
If you understand, you will understand.
If you don’t understand, you can only understand.
Wang Hua didn't say much and bowed in a serious manner.
Then he left with firm steps.
In fact, competing with the people for profit has a really bad reputation.
Officials like Wang Hao and Wang Hua, who were serious scholars and came from imperial examinations, could easily be like Liu Daxia and couldn't understand this kind of behavior.
In particular, Li Dongyang, a bachelor of the cabinet, said that the people in Shandong and Gyeonggi Province live in poverty and have plenty of food. It is not a lie.
But Zhu Houzhao had no choice.
If the crisis in the north is not resolved, his internal reforms will be more drastic. Once any trouble breaks out, it will be an even bigger disaster.
In fact, Liu Daxia didn’t feel that he was doing anything wrong.
He was still worried about the world. The people were living such a life. Not long ago, Zhejiang officials reacted one after another, saying that the palace sent people to Zhejiang.
People in the palace, eunuchs,
No need to exaggerate it, people like Liu Daxia will know that they have deeper malice.
.
And it's easy for people to guess, either His Majesty sent him, or the Prince sent him.
Wei Bin had been in the East Palace before, so he was collecting money for His Highness. Why was it so hard to guess?
Please note that everything is still in the guessing stage. Since it is guessing, even if you know that Wei Bin is sending money to the East Palace, you can't say anything.
This is the prince, not just someone picked up on the street. There's no evidence, so you're just going to make a fuss based on hearsay?
Wei Bin has not been executed now. He is still the eunuch guarding Zhejiang. No one in Zhejiang can say to him, "tell the truth."
[By the way, the best one for reading and listening to books is @@, install the latest version. 】
Halfway through their discussion with Zhang Cheng, the Minister of Rites, Liu Daxia heard news from outside.
"...Yes, I want to transfer Wang Hua, the chief envoy of Shandong, to patrol Zhejiang."
Liu Daxia is a bit thin and small, so he looks like a little old man with a white beard. But as the saying goes, people should not be judged by their appearance.
Liu Daxia was very favored by Hongzhi in his later years, and Hongzhi obeyed him to the point of obeying his advice.
He is also a traditional and relatively strong Confucian minister.
"Wang Hua was born in Youyu De, Zhan Shifu. The current prince knew Wang Hua well when he was still a child. It is said that he even asked, 'Do you have a son named Wang Shouren? This shows the close relationship. At this time, he was transferred Going to Zhejiang, it seems that the emperor showed the memorial to the emperor by the great Sima to the prince."
Zhang Cheng is not young, over sixty, but his mind is still clear.
Just from this one action, you can see what the emperor has done.
But Liu Daxia didn't show any surprise, "Your Majesty favors the prince too much, and even sometimes the prince exceeds the rules. Your Majesty not only does not stop him, but encourages him. Therefore, when our memorial is submitted, the emperor will definitely show it to the East Palace. In fact, the key is not Wang Hua, It’s not about the governor of Zhejiang, but how we know that the eunuchs in Zhejiang are delivering silver to the East Palace. As long as this is confirmed, the imperial censors in the court will give advice, and the East Palace has always cherished its reputation, this matter will also It can stop."
"If there is no evidence, the report will be filed randomly. With the decisiveness of the current crown prince, his counterattack cannot be underestimated. The censor of the Supervisory Council is scrupulous about this section. Even if someone files a report, it will only be three or two people, and it will not make a difference."
After all, there was only one person like Hai Rui in the Ming Dynasty for more than two hundred years.
"Then Da Sima means..."
"We should also send someone to Zhejiang. We should be more careful when it comes to the prince. We can't let them fool you. If the situation is not true and His Highness is wronged, it will be difficult for His Majesty to explain. He will steal the chicken but lose the rice. The death and death of the two of us are not worth mentioning, but from now on, Zhejiang has become a private treasury, which will cause millions of people to suffer."
"Who to send?"
This is not a simple matter.
The Ministry of Personnel is now under the jurisdiction of Wang Kuai, so why should the Minister of War send whomever he says?
And if someone who obviously has no dealings with the prince is sent there, will Emperor Hongzhi agree? I'm just watching you make trouble with my son?
Therefore, this problem is difficult, but it cannot trouble Liu Daxia.
He stroked his beard, thought about it for a while and already had a plan in his mind, "Send Hubei Zuo Chief Envoy Li Yancai to be Zhejiang Chief Envoy."
Zhang Cheng didn't understand it at first, but as soon as he rolled his eyes, he understood it immediately and couldn't help but exclaimed, "Wonderful!"
