Chapter 88 Ding Xian’s luck
If he can't do this, Zhu Yunwen really has no chance at all.
Just like now, Zhu Yunwen can read official newspapers, private newspapers, and other information. But trying to figure out the secrets from these data is not something Zhu Yunwen can do. Just like many people watch the news broadcast. But those who can really find opportunities from the news network. But there are very few. People who can understand some situations within the government through news broadcasts. It's even rarer.
If Zhu Yunwen could understand everything, there would be no need to invite Ding Xian over secretly.
Ding Xian said: "Your Highness summons the common people, and the common people will naturally say something sincere. In my opinion, the people of the world have missed Your Highness for a long time."
Zhu Yunwen was stunned and said, "Why do you say this?"
Ding Xian said: "Your Majesty determines the world with fierceness, and one yin and one yang is called the Tao. After fierceness, it should be followed by tolerance and gentleness. This is the reason why your majesty taught the prince. However, the emperor's eldest grandson went to Liaodong. They don’t think about the way of benevolence and righteousness. They are only interested in profit. This is not what the world’s scholar-bureaucrats want to see."
Zhu Yunwen sighed and said: "So what? Grandpa Huang has always made the decision on this kind of thing. What kind of scholar-bureaucrats in the world do you think? What does it matter?"
Ding Xian thought to himself: "This is a good statement." Ding Xian also knew that as long as Zhu Yuanzhang was alive, Zhu Yuanzhang would decide the world's major events. He whispered: "Your Majesty, how much time do you have when you are over sixty? There is no emperor who is a hundred years old in the world."
"The battle for power in the world has just begun."
Zhu Yunwen had never thought about this matter, but when Ding showed up, Zhu Yunwen suddenly felt his mouth went dry. I don't know if I'm excited or scared. After a while, he whispered: "What should I do?"
Ding Xian said: "Be a filial son. Father and son, king and minister, should be filial sons first and then loyal ministers. This is the right way in the world. In the past, Emperor Wen of Wei used this to defeat King Chen. Now the emperor's eldest son is far away in Liaodong, which is very detrimental to this. After today, Your Highness, please pay more attention to your filial piety in front of the Queen, Your Majesty, and the Prince. I will publicize it for Your Majesty outside and unite people's hearts. The days ahead are long, and we will take a closer look at the rest."
Zhu Yunwen was silent for a while and said: "Actually, I know that my father doesn't like it. Is it really okay for me to do this?"
Ding Xian said: "Your Highness, you should be thinking, what's the harm in this matter? Are there any parents in the world who don't let their sons fulfill their filial piety? Filial piety is the most important person in the world. It is the foundation of human beings. Is there still an unfilial emperor in the world? "
Ding Xian's words clearly emphasized the point. What he meant by unfilial piety was the conflict between Zhu Xiongying and the Crown Princess. One is filial and the other is unfilial, which naturally forms a sharp contrast.
Zhu Yunwen said: "Then let me try?"
Ding Xian said: "Your Highness is wise." Ding Xian paused slightly and said: "Your Majesty, do you want to take Fang Xiaoru as your teacher?"
Zhu Yunwen said: "Mr. Ding, what should we do about this matter?"
Ding Xian said: "Your Highness, no master can refuse a studious student."
Zhu Yunwen's mind changed and he finally understood this sentence. That's hard work. After all, Zhu Yunwen is the king and Fang Xiaoru is the minister. Fang Xiaoru was also a great scholar. It was completely normal for Zhu Yunwen to ask Fang Xiaoru if he had any questions.
Fang Xiaoru was also a Confucian official, and it was common for him to give lectures. There are also many disciples who follow and study. He can give guidance to others. But if you don’t know about the emperor’s grandson, that would be too much.
But if Zhu Yunwen came to ask for advice every day. So what's the difference between him and Fang Xiaoru's disciples?
This kind of matter is not easy to solve even if it is placed in front of the prince and the emperor.
It's a conspiracy.
Zhu Yunwen said: "Mr. Ding, if I have a future, I will definitely live up to my husband, who is my first teacher."
Ding Xian said: "I will do my best to serve His Highness."
Ding Xian finally made his big bet.
Zhu Yunwen and Ding Xian walked together, which seemed like a small matter, but many people did not expect that it would cause such a big stir later.
------
After Zhu Yunwen returned, he told Mrs. Lu about this incident.
Lu sighed and said: "My family is not good enough. We don't even have a few decent talents? Your grandpa has been in office for a long time. I'm afraid your uncles are not as good as this Ding Xian. However, this Ding Xian's character is not good. He was originally a student of He Xi. Later he betrayed his teacher. He was originally a subordinate for the rest of his life. I don’t want him to find this opportunity. You have to be wary of people like this."
Zhu Yunwen said: "Haier understands. Boy is just using his strategy. Let's talk about the future in the future."
The teenage Zhu Yunwen was still a half-grown child, but these words did not sound like a teenager at all. There is only indifference.
Lu said: "My son, my mother's future depends on you."
What Zhu Yunwen could say, he could only say: "Don't worry, I will take care of everything."
The pressure from his mother made Zhu Yunwen work harder. He would study every day before dawn. After reading, he would wait for questions on the way to the prince's court, and then go to see Empress Ma, because where Empress Ma lived, Somewhat cheap. It also requires traveling back and forth.
Only in the afternoon did I have time to seek advice from Fang Xiaoru in the secretary's office.
Fang Xiaoru naturally couldn't defeat Zhu Yunwen. He had just left and was still trying to avoid him. After a long time, he could only explain. No matter how long it takes, you will get used to it.
No matter whether Zhu Yunwen is pretending or real. Anyway, who doesn’t like a filial, studious, and sensible child. Plus Ding Xian is playing drums outside. In an instant, rumors about the emperor's grandson's filial piety and other matters spread beyond the palace walls.
Naturally, this matter could not be hidden from Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes and ears.
Zhu Yuanzhang ordered people to investigate. Soon the relationship between Zhu Yunwen and Ding Xian was discovered by Zhu Yuanzhang. With Zhu Yunwen's power, it was naturally not easy for Ding Xian to enter the palace every day. But it is not difficult for the two of them to find a way to communicate.
It was after Zhu Yuanzhang found the letters between the two that he realized that Zhu Yunwen had been inspired by Ding Xian.
Zhu Yuanzhang still has special feelings for Zhu Yunwen.
Yes. The throne must never be handed over to Zhu Yunwen. On the one hand, there is the historical impression of Zhu Yunwen, that is, incompetence. Although Zhu Yuanzhang also knows that the Zhu Yunwen in history is not exactly the same as the Zhu Yunwen now. At least at Zhu Yunwen's age in history, he didn't think that much at all. There was no Crown Princess Lu to force him from behind.
In terms of scheming, Zhu Yuanzhang estimates that Zhu Yunwen is deeper now than in history.
But it still cannot be changed. Zhu Yuanzhang's thinking towards Zhu Yunwen is that if he fails to succeed, he will fail.
On the other hand, Zhu Yunwen is the emperor's grandson after all. Some of the most basic things for the emperor and grandson will still be available. Such as overseas blockade. Zhu Yuanzhang didn't like Ding Xian, so he originally waited until the matter calmed down. Zhu Yuanzhang was ready to clean up. However, Ding Xian climbed up to Zhu Yunwen. Zhu Yuanzhang regarded it as Zhu Yunwen to accumulate manpower for the future vassal.
Just be prepared to pretend you haven’t seen it. Let Ding Xian go.
In any case, Ding Xian did not teach Zhu Yunwen to do bad things. If Ding Xian really gave Zhu Yunwen any bad ideas. Ding Xian's head was already in a different place at this moment.
Zhu Yuanzhang thought to himself: "However, if I don't deal with you, Ding Xian, someone will deal with you. I'll also see what kind of trouble you can cause among the same sect."
Then Zhu Yuanzhang pulled out a newspaper from underneath. This newspaper is not an official newspaper or a civilian newspaper, but a academic journal.
It was Jie Jin, the editor-in-chief, who found a dozen students from Mingjiantang who were unwilling to serve as officials, and it was the Imperial Academy Jijiu who personally opened the connection between the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry. As for money. There was no need for He Xi to intervene. It was Li Jinglong who led the way and contacted more than a dozen distinguished nobles to vote. Each family got a little bit, which was only a few hundred taels. For these families, it was not worth mentioning at all. It's just a statement of attitude.
This also plays a role in He Xi's letters.
After all, although many nobles feel that the foundation is unstable, they even feel that they have done something wrong. But when it comes to money, many people still have a stand. They just don't know how to fight back. The field of public opinion is a battlefield they are unfamiliar with. Now someone is standing up for them. It is naturally a relaxing and satisfying thing to invest some money to support it.
The first issue of Jiejin Journal is on Zhu Yuanzhang’s desk at the moment.
