Lu Shumao's duties are still as usual, serving as the censor of the Supervisory Council, but his reputation is now so bad that the streets and alleys of the capital already call him 'Lu Guangxu'.
That day he exposed his white butt on the street, and many people saw it.
In the Linglong Restaurant, some powerful children who had been criticized by the censors in the past were loudly reading today's "Ming Pao" in the noisy crowd. There was a book on it that said: A king is a king because he has the people. If you win the people, you will win the world! If you lose your people, you will lose the world! The so-called rich people of yesterday have now become poor people. The so-called poor people of yesterday are now condemned to the ravines. The temple does not know how to understand, and the order does not know how to show mercy. Zhou said: You should cultivate when you can cultivate, and don't regret after you have lost it. This is true!
"This is the memorial written by our Censor Lu to His Majesty and the Crown Prince. How beautifully written it is! But he turned around and went to drink the wine, hahaha!" Speaking of which, this person was Wang Yue's grandson. Wang Bing, after a few years, he had a beard on his mouth. But this dissolute temperament has not changed.
These dudes were usually looked down upon by those serious people, but now they took the opportunity to press their former enemies to the ground and trample on them. It was a real pleasure.
"But I don't know what this Yushi Lu means by what he said to His Majesty?"
At this time, Wang Bing no longer disliked these bastards. Instead, he looked approachable and was willing to answer people's questions. "What Lu Guangxuan said is that when you are the emperor, you must have the people in your heart. Only in this way can this dragon chair sit securely," he said. The court must find ways to enrich the people, not impoverish them. This is the most correct truth, but don't regret it until you have no time to make up for it."
This is a passage from Lu Shumao's admonishment after the Shaofu meeting.
The people on the side looked a little angry, "Bah! What he said is beautiful, but I don't know if he regrets it now! I advise the emperor to have the people in his heart, and then turn around and go to the brothel. You said he held the When you were thinking about your sister, did you think about us people?"
The crowd roared with laughter.
Wang Bing felt very happy when he heard that, "If you ask me, Your Highness has a solution, you have to peel off the skin of these hypocrites. Usually, they say this one is a female minister, and the other one has bad intentions." , they are gentlemen, what’s the result?”
"Exactly. But in the past, these matters were kept secrets of the imperial court, and the emperor was afraid of losing face. Why did he reveal them all this time?"
"The prince has the final say! The prince said they were embarrassing the court, so the court will embarrass them!"
"Okay! We still have to look at the prince! It's an official like this who doesn't remove him from his post, which would be a bit advantageous to him!"
"Does he still have the nerve to go down there?"
The unlucky one today is Lu Shumao. "Ming Pao" recorded all his bad things in detail. Every edition of "Ming Pao" is recorded and archived, which means that his name, Lu Guangxuan, will appear in the history books, and people thousands of years from now will laugh at him!
So Lu Shumao was really bad, but after this incident happened, he didn't dare to miss work anymore, so he went to the Inspectorate.
People on the road can still hide, after all, not everyone knows him.
Even when he arrived in the courtyard, his colleagues gathered together in groups, pointing at him, covering their mouths and laughing softly. This was too torturous. Not long after we got downstairs, someone came over to send a message saying that Mr. Zhang wanted to see him. ….
Lu Shumao ran up to Zhang Fuhua with a drooped face.
What else could Zhang Fuhua say?
He sighed helplessly, "Well, about your matter, the cabinet and ministers went to argue with the prince again today, but you are out of luck. The prince is more serious this time. Don't talk about you now. This 108 Among them are the sons of the Minister of War, King of the Ministry of War. Even so, the prince will not forgive you. So you can only swallow the bitterness in your stomach. But His Highness also asked me to convey a message to you. "
"General Xian... please tell me."
"Sense of shame and then courage."
Lu Shumao pursed his lips. Isn't it the same if he said this or not? How beneficial would it be to his current situation?
Speaking of which, some talented people or a few people with strong personalities don't care much about official positions, but most people from ordinary families still care about it.
Official position represents social status and the salary necessary for life. Also, everyone lives in a social environment. In addition to facing the emperor and prince, Lu Shumao also has to face his own family and clan.
He was the glory of the whole family, and suddenly the old mother's body couldn't bear the resignation. Several generations have raised him as a Jinshi, and now he suddenly resigned? He himself has been living in poverty for many years. How much sweat is behind this?
Go back to farming as a farmer? He agreed, but there were still a group of people at home who refused.
So he was reluctant to resign, and he didn't have the capital. But now some "gentlemen" regard those who are unwilling to give up their official positions as villains, which makes him very annoying. It's not easy to change from a civilian to an official, so what if you don't want to give up!
"You guys, His Highness has not removed anyone from their official position this time, and has not even fined anyone. So I feel that there is still a chance to win back His Highness's heart in the future." Zhang Fuhua has no choice now, so he can only start Fooling.
Lu Shumao forced a smile on his face and said, "I understand. I will study quietly and work hard in the future."
At this moment, Lu Shumao also began to change. No one knew what he had become, not even him.
Lu Shumao's tragic situation frightened the 107 people who followed him. They were publicly executed only by their names, and the words of the memorial had not yet been released. The thought of comparing words and deeds like this makes me want to die.
So these days, people are constantly trying to say hello to Zhu Houzhao through various channels. As a result, he went even more ruthless and invited Zhang Chengtian to tell him about it. As a result, the next day everyone in the capital knew about it.
Refuse one by one, it will still be troublesome in the end, just go to the end in one step and see who will come to the East Palace to intercede.
However, this incident frightened Zhang Tianrui quite a lot. He was now in a prosperous career. As the first person to be attached to the prince, he was now serving as the imperial eunuch.
Zhu Houzhao was sitting on the couch, with the quilt still covering his knees. He was an informal person. Sometimes he didn't want to ask anyone to tidy up his hair, so he would leave his hair loose or simply tie it up and hang it on his back.
He is young after all, and his face is still childish, but everyone knows that he is a tough master.
Zhu Houzhao was in a good mood at this time. Hearing Zhang Tianrui spit for a long time, he felt helpless and said with a suppressed smile: "...If anyone wants to follow your path or your son's path, just push it to me. Let's talk about the prince. No.”….
[To be honest, I have been using @ recently.
If you keep your mouth tight, it won't kill you. "
Zhang Tianrui was a little embarrassed as his thoughts were seen through, "Please give me your instructions, Your Highness."
"Recently, I have been receiving military reports from various border towns. Judging from the current situation, in the eighteenth year of Hongzhi, the little Tatar prince is very likely to lead his troops to invade the border. I have tolerated him for several years."
In fact, there is no information about these border crossings. Zhu Houzhao also remembered that the Tatars invaded in the 18th year of Hongzhi.
Because Emperor Hongzhi died this year, the Tatars felt that this was an opportunity. The capital and the government were unstable, so they must have no intention of taking care of them.
And Zhu Houzhao, who knew this in advance, would not be unprepared. Although he was not a general or commander, he had watched "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" after all. There is a very useful strategy in war called "showing the enemy weakness." .
Anyone who has watched some TV series will understand this. The enemy thinks you are weak at this time. As long as you are not really weak, then they will pay the price. Therefore, the time point of the eighteenth year of Hongzhi is very good.
Of course, there are also political considerations, but that's another matter.
In short, the prince's words have gone out, but he will not tolerate it any longer.
When Zhang Tianrui heard this, he felt like a heavy thunder in his heart, "Your Highness!"
"Don't talk about soldiers. It's a major matter for the country." Zhu Houzhao raised his hand to stop him. "That is to say, I have always known that you are timid. If you were someone else, you would be so scared when you heard that you were going to fight the Tatars. I will definitely cause trouble for him.”….
"Your Highness, forgive me. I'm rude. But do you think that such a major matter can only be decided after discussing with Your Majesty and the cabinet? It's impossible... Your Highness and Wei Chen have just agreed on this matter, right? The war has been going on for several years. All the money and food I accumulated have been used up again!”
Zhu Houzhao lowered his eyebrows and said, "I don't want to fight unless I have to. War consumes people's money and energy. The soldiers who died on the battlefield also had parents, wives and children. They cried to the court for husbands and sons. Who can continue to watch? But the Tatar problem must be eliminated. The military pressure in the north is getting heavier day by day. Everywhere in the Ming Dynasty must save money and food to supply the millions of frontier troops. If this continues, the damage will be deeper, so you don’t want to It’s no longer an agreement. This battle must be fought.”
"But I also know that there are many people in the court who think like you, who focus on stability and muddle along. When the time comes, such arguments will not be conducive to the war. Therefore, I must unify our thoughts and speak the truth!"
Zhang Tianrui was puzzled, "But I don't know how His Highness can unify his thoughts and be justified?"
"The military academy of the academy." Zhu Houzhao pointed at him, "The students in the military academy are young, energetic, and conceited. If there is an urgent report from the border next year, you must guide them to make their voices heard."
"What sound did it make?" Zhang Tianrui asked carefully.
Liu Jin couldn't stand it anymore. There were some things that the prince couldn't say clearly. "Of course he wanted to fight. They have the mouth to talk to themselves. The capital is so big. If you shout a few words, you won't disturb others."
Zhu Houzhao glanced at him and said, "I want you to talk more."
Liu Jin shrank and lowered his head.
"When you get home, ask your son to come to the palace. The justice of the matter depends on you, and the unification of thoughts depends on him and his Ming Pao."
The first step in modern warfare is the war of public opinion!
