Due to the need for confidentiality, the secret report sent by Rujun cannot be disclosed externally, and the corresponding events have been temporarily sealed.
Hu Bi heard the summons and hurried to Houhu.
Queen Mother Lu looked at the scene in front of her, her eyes full of relief and peace.
Simple earthen stoves, simple ingredients, simple days, there are no emperors, queens, concubines, not so many rules, just a happy family.
Although it was against etiquette, for example, Concubine Shu, Luo Yaner, showed her teeth when she smiled, Concubine Ning didn't know how to cover her face while drinking tea, Concubine Xian dared to put vegetables in Zhu Yunwen's bowl, Ma Enhui actually snatched Zhu Yunwen's chicken wings, Zhu Yunwen He didn't take it too seriously, and even specially picked out more chicken wings for her...
Etiquette?
To hell with that.
Lu thought of Zhu Biao. Didn't the people who had been by her side also occasionally indulge in indulgences and violate etiquette in those days?
But in the end, the violation was not enough, leaving endless sorrow and regret.
"Queen mother, try how this tastes."
Zhu Yunwen knew that Mr. Lu was a Buddhist and did not eat meat, so he specially prepared some vegetables and put them in a bowl and brought them over.
After receiving it, Mrs. Lu felt warm in her heart, but with a straight face, she said: "Hey, when you were young, you followed the rules, especially the rules. After becoming the emperor of the world, you became a lot more unruly. Could it be that there was no one in the high position to control, and you were a little unruly? ?”
After hearing this, Ma Enhui, Luo Yan'er and others panicked and quickly stood up to apologize.
As a last resort, Zhu Yunwen had to get up. Before he could apologize, he heard Lu saying: "Only by combining work and rest can we travel far, and only by relaxing and relaxing can we prosper. I'm afraid this etiquette will make it difficult for you to breathe. I don't have to." , but don’t do this kind of thing too often in the future.”
Zhu Yunwen frowned slightly and asked, "What does the queen mean when she says 'ye'?"
Lu shook her head and sighed: "No need to ask more, but I see that you have indeed been benevolent, wise, diligent and decisive in your governance over the past two years. I think both Emperor Taizu and Emperor Xiaokang can be relieved."
Emperor Xiaokang is the title given to Zhu Biao.
Benevolence, Ming, Diligence, and Determination, these four words are the essence of state governance taught by Zhu Yuanzhang to Zhu Biao.
Benevolence means governing the country with benevolence and implementing benevolent government.
To understand, learn from history and listen to it.
Diligence, focusing on politics, and being diligent.
Break, make a clear decision between right and wrong, and when it is time to break, break it off.
Facts have proved that although Zhu Yuanzhang had many "psychological" and "personality" flaws, he had a very clear understanding of his own flaws. Although he could not be benevolent, he asked Zhu Biao to be benevolent and implement benevolent government.
For many ministers, Zhu Yuanzhang was not a good monarch or a good emperor, but for the people of the Ming Dynasty, and for Zhu Biao and others, Zhu Yuanzhang was a responsible emperor and father.
Zhu Yuanzhang did not regard officials as officials, but regarded common people as common people, children as children, and relatives as relatives.
History books have recorded countless atrocities committed by Zhu Yuanzhang, and also affirmed Zhu Yuanzhang's achievements that no one can deny.
It's just that he's too harsh.
Zhu Yunwen looked deeply at his mother, Lu, with fear and uneasiness about the past hidden in her eyes.
Suddenly, Zhu Yunwen remembered what Zhu Biao said before he died: "My death is for my own sake. Don't forget it."
This means that the reason why I, Zhu Biao, died was because of the person named Zhan Hui. Don’t forget it.
Zhu Yunwen was only fifteen years old at the time, and he remembered this "enemy who killed his father" in his heart.
Who is Zhan Hui? He was a scholar in the fifteenth year of Hongwu, and later became a seventh-level censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Yes, he was a scholar. A year later, he was promoted to the fourth rank of Zhengdu Censor, and soon after that, he was promoted to the second rank of Zhengdu Censor of Zuodu.
In one and a half years, he rose from the seventh grade to the second grade. Such a promotion speed is comparable to that of Tianzhou-class express delivery in later generations.
This is not over yet. In June of the 23rd year of Hongwu, Zhan Hui concurrently served as the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. In December of the 25th year of Hongwu's reign, he was given the title of Prince Shaobao (assistant Zhu Yunwen).
It's just that this person is ruthless in his methods and likes torture and heavy punishment just like Zhu Yuanzhang. He has a somewhat similar feeling that birds of a feather flock together.
In the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu, Zhu Biao and Zhan Hui tried a death penalty case together.
Zhu Biao believed that committing a crime would not lead to death, but Zhan Hui believed that according to Zhu Yuanzhang's regulations, he had to be killed.
Zhu Biao strongly opposed it, so the matter went to Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that he said to Zhu Biao, "Hong (si) you have the world to do it for you." The translation is, if you want to implement benevolent government, if you want to change my rules, wait until you become the emperor before you do it. .
The implicit meaning is, do you want to be the emperor now?
Zhu Biao was so frightened that he returned to the East Palace, became seriously ill, left his last words, and... died.
Fifteen-year-old Zhu Yunwen didn't think much about it, but he remembered the enemy who killed his father - Zhan Hui.
In fact, Zhu Yunwen also avenged Zhu Biao.
In the Lan Yu case, Zhu Yunwen and Zhan Hui interrogated Lan Yu together. Because Lan Yu was dissatisfied with Zhan Hui's blathering and acting like a villain, he said, "Aren't you my party member?"
So Zhu Yunwen seized the opportunity and ordered people to capture Zhan Hui. After that, Zhan Hui also died.
But now that he thought about it carefully, Zhu Yunwen realized that Zhu Biao's death was not innocent. The last words he left seemed to have other meanings.
"He is kind and generous..."
Zhu Yunwen often heard his mother say this.
How could a kind-hearted person leave a sentence like "Child, remember the enemy who killed your father, don't forget it, you want revenge" at the end of his life?
Now that I think about it, Zhu Biao's words "My death is a sign of my death, don't forget it" were probably telling Zhu Yunwen:
Don't think too much, I was killed by Zhan Hui, not someone else, really not someone else, don't think too much, let alone forget this, never forget...
Zhu Yunwen was a little painful.
Judging from the mother-in-law Lu's whole-hearted conversion to Buddhism, her poor life, her indifference to worldly affairs, and her "non-strict" requirement that Zhu Yunwen follow etiquette, we can see that she knew something deep down, but she hid it and buried it. I also tolerated that person.
"emperor……"
Ma Enhui pushed Zhu Yunwen's shoulder. Zhu Yunwen suddenly woke up and looked at Ma Enhui doubtfully.
When Mrs. Lu saw Zhu Yunwen looking at her with complicated eyes, seemingly inquiring, she looked away and sighed: "Why can't we enjoy a good meal together? Your Majesty, your minister is here again."
Zhu Yunwen's heart was shocked. This sentence "How can we not eat well when we have a good family?" seemed to have a hidden meaning, but when he looked at Lu, there was nothing unusual about it.
"What the Empress is blaming is that Shuangxi packed some food for Hu Hui and asked him to wait outside for dinner. I want to have a good dinner with my family."
After Zhu Yunwen gave the instructions, he saw the slight smile on Lu's face, which was immediately replaced by seriousness.
"It seems that the real cause of death of my father Zhu Biao was not a simple cold."
Zhu Yunwen suppressed his shock, pretended to have dinner in a relaxed manner, and then summoned Hu Hui in the pavilion.
Looking at the young Hu Hui in front of him, Zhu Yunwen was also a little surprised. It was said that in ancient times, thousands of troops and horses rushed across the single-plank bridge in the imperial examination. Even if you have a gray beard, you may not be able to get a Jinshi.
But aren’t there too many reading geniuses in Jianwen’s year?
Yang Rongzhong was only 28 years old when he became a Jinshi, and Yang Pu and Yang Rong were born in the same year. He got into the central government at the age of twenty-eight, this young man...
But Hu Hui is obviously more vigorous than the above two, and he is only twenty-five years old this year.
Think about this age in future generations, they are either taking the postgraduate entrance examination or just entering the society, but Hu Ming has been admitted to the civil service and is eating from the public family...
"Get up."
Zhu Yunwen said calmly.
Hu Xi stood up and stood with his hands down, not daring to look up.
Zhu Yunwen knew Hu Hui's position in the history of the Ming Dynasty. This guy lived for more than eighty years and served in five dynasties with endless honors and honors. He was very powerful.
However, the historical relationship between Hu Hui and Zhu Yunwen probably lies more in Hu Hui's secret mission.
According to historical records, after Zhu Di failed to capture Nanjing, Emperor Jianwen escaped from the capital and lived among the people. Zhu Di sent Hu Hui and Zheng He to search for Emperor Jianwen across the land and sea.
Hu Hui is taciturn, expressive of joy and anger, and treats others with gentleness and courtesy. His specialty is: working secretly, working quietly, working like a spy, working hard and without complaint...
Such a person can keep secrets, be content with loneliness, hide without being exposed, and be happy with poverty. Well, he is still young, and the young man is in good health. Climbing the ravine should not be a problem.
Zhu Yunwen opened his mouth and said: "I summoned you and I need you to go to Shanxi."
Hu Xi was a little surprised. He was admitted to the Jinshi this year and finally stayed in the capital. Although he was only in the military department, he was still an official in the capital. Why was he suddenly "assigned"?
"Wei Chen is willing to go."
Although he was very resistant, Hu Hui did not show it, but solemnly agreed.
It’s okay even if you don’t agree?
Hesitating and hesitating can only lower your own image.
Since you can't refuse, you can only accept it simply to gain some impression points.
Zhu Yunwen was very satisfied with Hu Xi's attitude and asked Shuangxi to forward Ru Yu's documents to Hu Xi. After Hu Xi read it, he said: "The Cabinet, the Ministry of War and the Fifth Army Governor's Office have reached a secret resolution to prepare for the transfer of sergeants from Shanxi Guard Station. He will enter Shaanxi to exterminate the remnants of the White Lotus Sect, and will also prepare for war against the Tatars and Oaras outside Datong Pass. But just doing these things is not enough to expand the influence, so I am looking for you."
This was the first time that Hu Hui came into contact with such a high-level secret document, and it was also the first time that he heard about the highest secrets of the imperial court. He couldn't help but feel a little excited, and quickly replied: "Wei Chen is willing to serve as a pawn and serve the emperor."
"Pawn, haha, I asked you to go to Shanxi, but I didn't ask you to join the army."
Zhu Yunwen smiled.
Hu Xi was a little confused. She was from the Ministry of War. The emperor also said that Shanxi was preparing to use a large army to exterminate the remnants of the White Lotus Sect. It seemed that there was no other option except "joining the army".
Zhu Yunwen's mouth moved slightly and he said slowly: "I plan to send you to Shanxi to serve as the doctor of the Shanxi Propaganda Department, specializing in public opinion propaganda."
"Xuan, Propaganda Department?"
Hu Bi blinked and tried to search his memory. In his impression, it seemed that no department in the imperial court was the Propaganda Department, right?
Could it be that I am new to officialdom and haven’t figured out the ropes yet?
