Xu Youzhen rushed to Nangong in a hurry. This was also the first time Xu Youzhen came to Nangong. Under the pavilion, Xu Youzhen saw Zhang Bao sitting and drinking tea, and then hurried over.
"Eunuch Zhang..."
Zhang Bao turned around and was surprised to see Xu Youzhen: "Censor of Xudu, how did you get in?"
At this time, Xu Youzhen was sweating profusely and panting, and the little eunuch who brought him was also out of breath, thinking that after entering Nangong, he must have been running.
"I just... met with His Majesty. His Majesty asked me to come and see the Emperor."
Zhang Bao nodded, not feeling surprised.
"Your Majesty asked you to come to see the Supreme Emperor. He must have wanted you to come in when His Highness the King of Han was present. I am an eunuch and a servant of the royal family. Some things are hard to say. But Xu Du Yushi, you are different. You He is a model of clean and honest civil servants, and he is also an important official and a hero of the country. It is just right for you to come here, take a short rest and think about it, it is very lively inside." Zhang Bao said softly.
After hearing this, Xu Youzhen nodded, sat down, and found that there were many papers scattered on the table, and the ink on them was not dry yet.
"Censor of Xudu, you can take a look. This is a conversation between the Supreme Emperor and His Highness the King of Han, and there is also a conversation between His Highness the King of Han and his mother. There seems to be one part that involves the Censor of Xudu."
After hearing this, Xu Youzhen frowned, and Zhang Bao also took out a piece of paper that was hanging out from a corner and gave it to Xu Youzhen.
Xu Youzhen put her hands together and began to read. Although Xu Youzhen's name was not mentioned on this piece of paper, Xu Youzhen instantly thought of herself for being a treacherous person and doing harm to the country.
It turns out that after all these years, the Supreme Emperor still wants to send himself to hell.
He sighed: "Every man is angry, June is full of frost, the speaker is not guilty, and the listener is warned. Although you know that you are not afraid of the shadow of the person who is upright, it is inevitable that the public will confuse right and wrong."
"Censor of Xudu, why are you dragging me down? How can you be a common man? You are no longer the Censor of Xudu before. In the Ming Dynasty, from the implementation of the new tax system to the helm of the Maritime Affairs Department, to the lower level How can anyone provide disaster relief to ordinary people without doing so without the Censor of Xudu? Your Majesty values you so much that even the snow and frost in June will not fall on you."
After Zhang Bao finished speaking, he took another sip of tea.
When Xu Youzhen heard such praise and praise, he immediately began to be polite and declined. Even though he was very happy in his heart, he was still declining...
Now Zhu Jianlin is like an ant on a hot pot. He is anxious inside and has panic on his face.
Every word my father said was forbidden, and I couldn't bear it...
If he had known earlier, he would not have told Zhu Qizhen that he was going to North Korea. Although Zhu Qizhen insisted on letting him sit down and continue chatting, he knew that he was really going to leave. If he didn't leave, he would get deeper and deeper. A gentleman does not stand in danger. Under the wall, and the place I am standing on is not a dangerous wall, but on top of a powder keg, if I don't do it, I will collapse.
At that moment, Zhu Jianlin said firmly: "Father, please stop talking. I really have to leave. Eunuch Zhang is waiting for me outside. It is too rude to make people wait for too long."
Zhu Qizhen snorted coldly and said, "Zhang Bao, a eunuch or an old eunuch, just wait and wait. You are the prince of the Ming Dynasty and half of his master. What are you afraid of him doing? I am really iron-clad." I am not a strong man, I, how could I have a son like you? Back then, when I was in Tumu Fort, so many Mongolians were holding knives at me. Li, you respectfully brought me to Mongolia. You, it was a smooth journey, why are you so fearless? It really disappoints me..."
After listening to Zhu Qizhen's words, Zhu Jianlin smiled bitterly: "Father, no one can explain clearly what happened back then, but today's situation is extremely clear."
"Although I haven't been attacked with a thousand swords, I am the emperor's subject. No matter how he arranges it, I can only obey the order. What's more, if I go to North Korea, I will be a prince, not a concubine. The third child , I will also go to North Korea in a while, and then we brothers will be able to support each other."
After finishing speaking, Zhu Jianlin paused for a moment and said that he was speechless.
Zhu Qizhen exclaimed: "What, the third child? The third child is also going to North Korea."
"Really, I am so angry. Is the emperor going to put all my sons outside the Great Wall and let them fend for themselves? The emperor is really so cruel..."
At this time, Zhu Qizhen was really angry. He originally thought that Zhu Jianlin went to North Korea because he molested a woman and was sent there. Unexpectedly, he was sent there as a standard for his sons...
Co-authoring "Conquering North Korea" was prepared for his sons.
This time Zhu Qizhen got angry, but Zhu Jianlin didn't dare to answer the question.
"You, you go and call Zhang Bao over. I want to see the emperor. I want to ask him face to face. What is his intention? Exile all my children outside the Great Wall. How can the prince of Ming Dynasty not stay here? Ming dynasty……"
"Father, North Korea is already the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and North Korea is also the Ming Dynasty now." Zhu Jianlin said quickly and carefully.
"I don't admit it. I only recognize the two capitals and thirteen provinces. I only recognize the territory left by Taizu Taizong. This is the Ming Dynasty. If those lands outside the country are conquered, will it be the Ming Dynasty? Your Majesty, you should also study. Oh, don’t you know the situation in Jiaozhi? The Ming Dynasty has been in power for twenty years. If you feed unfamiliar white-eyed wolves, your life will be in danger if you go to North Korea."
"Father, we are attacking Jiaozhi now. Brother Huang said that we must regain our homeland and make the Ming Dynasty's prestige spread far and wide to the southwest..."
"What, the imperial court is fighting against Cochin. Whose, whose idea is it? Isn't this nonsense? I didn't even think about regaining Cochin back then. Our enemies in the Ming Dynasty are the Tatars of the Mongolian tribes. How come they changed so quickly... What nonsense? It's really nonsense. Nonsense, it seems that Ming Dynasty really can’t survive without me..."
"Yes, the Supreme Emperor only needs to rest well in Nangong. It is a blessing for His Majesty and the Ming Dynasty. Your Majesty, the young emperor, is brave and decisive. Although he attaches great importance to military affairs, he also manages domestic affairs. He is open-minded and considerate of all officials and people. The Ming Dynasty is prosperous. Isn't that right? The Supreme Emperor is resting in Nangong. He is in good health and in good spirits. Is it a credit to His Majesty that he no longer has any worries?"
Zhu Qizhen suddenly turned his head when he heard this familiar voice. The fat man in red robe was Xu Youzhen...
Xu Youzhen had a smile on her face, then turned her head, facing the little eunuch who was busy writing at a small table at the entrance of the palace, and said softly: "Write this paragraph well, and when I come out, I will never treat my father-in-law badly..." …”
Two young eunuchs stood at the door to cover, and out of Zhu Qizhen's sight, there was a small table, a writing brush, and a young eunuch recording what they said intact.
This little eunuch has a pair of ear-catching ears and has been hearing well since he was a child. After being discovered by Zhang Bao, he trained his writing speed for two or three years. After Zhu Qizhen arrived at Nangong, he was the first internal official appointed to Nangong.
After listening to Xu Youzhen's words, the little eunuch nodded...
Xu Youzhen strode into the palace.
Zhu Qizhen squinted his eyes and watched Xu Youzhen getting closer and closer. For some reason, after seeing Xu Youzhen, Zhu Qizhen immediately adjusted his mentality and calmed down.
Because he knew that Xu Youzhen was a master. In a duel between masters, if you are not calm, you will lose half the battle.
It is true that Xu Youzhen is a master, but Zhu Qizhen obviously looked at him a little too high...
Zhu Jianshen asked the vassal kings to vassal Korea, Jiaozhi and other places. According to the normal succession rules of the Ming Dynasty, it was difficult to complete. He could only start from his own children, but the layout at that time was difficult to carry out during his emperor's career. , make it an iron rule...
According to the normal succession system, when the new emperor ascends the throne, most of the vassal princes have made arrangements. As soon as the new emperor ascends the throne, he will operate on his brothers, which will be more difficult. But now that the Supreme Emperor has no power, there is no In spite of this constraint, and with Zhu Jianshen's firm hold on power, he consolidated his imperial power and arranged the vassal king, whom all officials thought would be a serious problem, to the newly opened territory. Not only could he get the support of the court, but he could also Find a reason for mobilizing troops abroad, a balance point, it can be regarded as an exchange...
After Xu Youzhen walked a few steps, he knelt down and saluted: "I am the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, the Censor of Zuodu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and Xu Youzhen, the great scholar of Dongge, kowtow to the Supreme Emperor."
Zhu Qizhen glanced at Zhu Jianlin thoughtfully, and did not rush to let Xu Youzhen stand up, saying: "Your Majesty, sit down."
"Father, the censor of Xudu is still kneeling?"
Zhu Qizhen was slightly unhappy and said coldly: "I don't need you to remind me, just sit down quickly."
Zhu Jianlin glanced at Xu Youzhen who was kneeling but hesitated to speak. After thinking about it, he sat down.
You can't not give face to your father in front of foreign ministers.
After seeing Zhu Jianlin sit down, Zhu Qizhen nodded with satisfaction, adjusted his position, sat down, looked at the kneeling Xu Youzhen, and smiled coldly: "Censor of Xu Du Get up quickly, if you have been kneeling for a long time and are tired, how can you still have the strength to harm our Ming Dynasty..."
After Xu Youzhen heard this, his expression did not change at all. He stood up slowly...
"How is the Emperor's health lately?"
"Thank you for your concern. I am in my prime. How am I in good health?"
"The Emperor is in good health, and I am very happy..."
Zhu Qizhen laughed loudly: "My health is good, Xu Du Censor, are you really happy?"
"Of course I'm happy. The Supreme Emperor is upright and upright. After returning to the capital, he stayed in the Nangong as expected, not causing any trouble to His Majesty and allowing His Majesty to handle national affairs with peace of mind. This is a contribution to the Ming Dynasty. I am sure in my heart I'm so happy, Your Majesty, please take good care of yourself. We, the ministers, are all thinking about you..."
