Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 1387 The monarch and minister earnestly talk
The emperor of Ming Dynasty seemed to be very confident. Of course, this might have something to do with his close relationship with Gao Yushi. To say that Gao Yushi sat on his ass because he took a concubine, His Majesty the Emperor thought it was a wild story.

But even though the truth is this, Zhu Yijun immediately thought of why Gao Wushi was hesitant.

He guessed that Gao Pragmatism was worried about his own overthinking, and he was also worried about the comments of the foreign court, so he pondered for a while and added: "Well, I will help you again. You go and talk to Ye He's people, let They first offered to dedicate Nalinbulu's younger sister to me, and then I made an order, saying that for reward, I would give her to you."

Good idea, in this way, the nature of Meng Gu Zhezhe's entry into the Gaofu has completely changed. It can't just be regarded as Ye He and Gao Yushi's marriage, but Ye He sent their noble character to the emperor to show respect.At the same time, although the emperor accepted the kindness, he directly passed it on to his trusted ministers as a kindness.

No matter how you look at it, the emperor and Gao Yushi are in an impeccable state, even if the outer court stares out their eyes, they can't find fault.Even Ye He's behavior became different, from bribing important ministers to being obedient to the emperor.

perfect.

It seems that being an emperor is no different from doing other jobs. As long as you work for a long time, you will become more experienced and improve your level.

However, Gao Yushi is not a naive person. He knows that Zhu Yijun's main purpose of doing this is to help himself, but it does not mean that he has other intentions at all, and even this "other intentions" may be more than one level.

For example, with such an operation, Da Ming can use the name of Ye He Jurchen's most powerful chieftain to make himself more powerful - as strong as Ye He has to rely on sending Princess to curry favor with Da Ming, how can other small groups dare to be presumptuous in front of Da Ming?

Although "other small departments" may not have dared to do so, there are never too many such things, and this kind of thinking can always be further strengthened and solidified.Until they form a subconscious mind, they naturally think that Daming is invincible and can only obey forever, that is the most perfect.

Another example is such an operation. In the eyes of the Jurchen, Ye He is more likely to be regarded as the replacement of Hada, the "Manchurian Lord", and then enhances Ye He's power, making his potential challengers—such as Nurhachi— Don't dare to act rashly.

In this way, the stability of Liaodong can be better maintained, and it can be ensured that Liaodong will not involve too much energy of Da Ming before Da Ming solves the Chahar issue.

For another example, his meddling in this matter is also a warning to Ye He himself: Don't think that you can hide these things from me in private. I know your thoughts very clearly, but I have a wide heart. This time, I will give you a face first, and you will have to take care of yourself in the future.

Even Gao Yushi was a little skeptical. Zhu Yijun might be worried that Ye He's move was intended to create a divorce, so he took the initiative to intervene and let Ye He see the intimacy between him and his two monarchs and ministers.

In short, Zhu Yijun chose to take the initiative to intervene in this matter instead of simply expressing his consent. It is unlikely that he just wanted to "help you out again". "Help me a little more" is certainly the main reason, but other reasons cannot be ignored.

Gao Wushi was not angry about this, but rather relieved.After so many years, the little prince who used to have a soft spot for blowing soap bubbles has finally become a qualified emperor.

He may still have his own personal preferences and emotional tendencies, but his views on various things and the means of dealing with them have indeed matured.

So Gao Wushi pretended not to notice anything, stood up and bowed deeply to thank the emperor, Zhu Yijun smiled and said, "It's alright, alright, don't be so troublesome if there are no outsiders around."

When Gao Yushi sat down again, Zhu Yijun said again: "Why does it feel like it's getting colder every year these past few years, would you like to have a drink with me?" As he spoke, he walked towards the imperial case not far away, and there was a jug on it Royal wine, two small Yu porcelain cups.

Gao Wushi smiled and said: "Could it be that the emperor specially changed the Yuci wine set because the minister was coming? If so, it's really hard for the minister to refuse." After speaking, he also got up and walked over.

Zhu Yijun laughed, picked up the flagon and was about to pour wine, Gao Wushi hurriedly stopped him, and said, "I'd better come."

But Zhu Yijun refused, and stopped him with his backhand, saying: "Today, there are no monarchs and ministers here, only classmates. I am the landlord, and I will come." Then he began to pour wine without any explanation.

After the two small glasses of wine were poured, Zhu Yijun picked up a glass in each of his left and right hands, handed it to Gao Wushi with the other, and said, "Regard the past."

Gao Wushi was slightly taken aback, took the small wine glass with both hands, and replied, "Today."

Zhu Yijun laughed when he heard this, and said, "Do it!" After saying that, he drank the wine in his glass in one gulp.Naturally, Gao Pragmatism couldn't lag behind, and said: "Do it!" He also drank it down.

Zhu Yijun seemed quite happy, but looked around, but said regretfully: "I forgot to prepare some appetizers earlier, only some candied dried fruits." Then he immediately laughed again, showing his face and said: "But it's okay, with you Drinking with me next to me is more comfortable than my usual "a pot of wine among the flowers, drinking alone without a blind date"."

The two brought the pot of wine to the side of the gold-plated stove, and moved a chair to put the wine on, just like ordinary people.

Zhu Yijun smiled and said, "Can you taste what kind of wine this is?"

Gao Wushi was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I don't drink much on weekdays, and I'm not good at it."

Zhu Yijun said: "This is Qiulubai, a fine wine in Yujiufang. Compared with lotus pistil, Hantanxiang, Zhuyeqing, Jinjinglu, Taixibai, etc., I love this wine the most."

Gao Wushi nodded and said, "Since it's called Autumn Dew White, could it be made from dew in the early morning of autumn?"

Zhu Yijun laughed, stretched out his hand and pointed to Gao Yushi, and said: "So there is something you don't understand? This autumn dew white is actually not autumn wine, it is brewed in October every year, it is winter wine.

However, it is true that it is brewed with dew. This method originated in Shandong. It was originally made by placing a shallow plate under a split cliff with lush green grass and overhanging leaves to collect dew from the grass leaves.But there is no such condition in the palace, the people of Yujiufang just use some jade plates and put some dew on Yuquan Mountain to make up for it, so the wine may still lack some charm. "

Gao Wushi smiled and said: "There is no Confucius in the world, and there are countless things that I don't understand. How can there be such a thing as wine."

Zhu Yijun nodded and said: "That's right, you are a famous official with the world in mind, how can you spend your time on these despondent things. I am different from you, the affairs of the court are generally justified by the cabinet's proposals, I just need to follow the rules It's enough to be red, and there are very few things that really require me to decide.

It's also inconvenient for me to leave the palace, needless to say it's too far away, even if I want to visit your Baiyulou, it's hard to come by.You said, how should I pass my daily life? "

Zhu Yijun didn't wait for Gao Yushi to answer, sighed, looked at the snow outside the door, and said with emotion: "I don't know how many people in the world yearn for this Forbidden City, but they don't know that this place is not only extremely cold at high places, but more importantly, it It's actually a prison."

Gao Wushi said: "People all over the world yearn for the Forbidden City, but they yearn for power, not for the responsibility on the emperor's shoulders."

"Responsibility, you are talking about responsibility again." Zhu Yijun sighed: "You have loved to say this word to me since you were young, and now I can understand what you mean by responsibility, but... sometimes I still can't help being a little bit I want to ask you: Are you not tired of thinking about these responsibilities all day long?"

"Of course I will be tired." Gao Wushi laughed, and cast his eyes outside the door, looking at the sky full of snow, and said: "However... speaking of it, I am not afraid that the emperor will laugh at me. Sometimes I feel that there are some things in this world. If I don't do it, who can?"

Seeing that he spoke sincerely, Zhu Yijun couldn't help being a little dazed, and murmured: "If I don't do it, who can?"

After a while, he couldn't help laughing, nodded and said: "This is probably 'If you want to rule the world, in today's world, no one but me'."

Gao Wushi smiled and continued, "Why don't I hesitate!"

What they said came from Chapter 13 of "Mencius Gongsun Chouxia": Mencius went to Qi.Chongyu Lu asked, "If you are not hesitant, master, you will not hesitate. The day before yesterday, Yu heard that the masters said: 'A gentleman does not blame the sky, and does not favor others.'"

Said: "That time, this time is also. In 500 years, there must be a king, and there must be a famous person in the world. From the Zhou Dynasty, seven hundred years old. It is too old by the number; by the time, it is OK. "Heaven did not intend to rule the world; if it wants to rule the world, in today's world, who can but me? Why don't I hesitate!"

Zhu Yijun meant that what Gao Yushi said just now was like Mencius, and he had a kind of self-confidence of "who can give me nothing".Gao Yushi replied directly with the next sentence of the original text, which is to admit that he does have this kind of confidence, so "why don't I hesitate"-why am I unhappy?And his words are also an answer to Zhu Yijun's previous question: Are you not tired?
Not only am I not tired, I'm even enjoying it.

Zhu Yijun also laughed, and while laughing, he felt a little emotional: "There is a saying that the prosperity of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, but you are different. Although I don't know how much money you have now, but I want to come It must be much more abundant than your internal money. But even so, you are a person who doesn't care about money, so that you were known as the boy who spread wealth and the Buddha of ten thousand families in your early years.

If you say you care about power, I don't think so.If you really care about power, based on the relationship between you and me, I am afraid that the power has already been transferred to the government and the public. Whether it is exclusion of dissidents, comparison with friends, or other things, it is probably not too difficult.

But you are not like this, but always discuss the matter as it stands, even knowing that there must be something tricky about Li Chengliang's private sale of gunpowder before, but you are willing to not pursue it for the time being.I know that what you do is only for the peace of the court, and it will not ruin the great plan of the Eastern System, but I still can't understand, are you really just trying to achieve the reputation of a generation of famous ministers with such painstaking efforts? "

The subtext of these words seems to be that Zhu Yijun suspects that Gao Yushi has ulterior motives. If someone else has heard about it, his face will change. I have thought about it myself."

"Oh?" A trace of curiosity appeared on Zhu Yijun's face: "What did you think of?"

"Life is in a hurry, but it's only a few decades. If you don't bring death with you, how should you spend these decades, so that this life is not in vain?"

Zhu Yijun nodded, and asked again: "How do you think you will spend this time?"

Gao Wushi said calmly: "Do my best and do my best."

Zhu Yijun said: "What is goodness? Goodness of kindness, or goodness of goodness?"

"It's all." Gao Wushi said: "People who read books should know what is good, and they should also know their own strengths. Therefore, using my strengths and doing what I do well is what life should do."

This time he didn't wait for Zhu Yijun to ask again, and continued: "I was born in a family of officials. What I study is articles, and the elders govern. Therefore, what I think about on weekdays is mostly the evils of the world and the methods of governance. If Calling Chen Mu a sensual dog and horse, fighting cocks and running dogs all day long, I'm afraid it will be very boring."

Zhu Yijun understood it, and said with a smile: "It seems that this is close to Zhu Zhechi, and Mr. Gao Wenzheng was like this in the past..." Speaking of Gao Gong, Zhu Yijun couldn't help sighing: "It's just, you can Don't learn from him and forget to eat and sleep, but take good care of yourself."

Gao Wushi's heart warmed when he heard it, and he nodded and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern, and I will spare you."

After a heart-to-heart talk, the two of them seemed to be back in the past. Zhu Yijun seemed to be quite happy. After pouring and pouring a pot of autumn dew, the bottom was soon unexpectedly reached.

He got up and wanted to see if there were any leftovers in the East Nuan Pavilion, but was stopped by Gao Wushi, and said: "Liquor is a thing, a small drink can make you feel good, but a big drink can hurt your body. Today, I and Your Majesty have already drunk a pot, that's enough. "

Zhu Yijun had no choice but to give up, and said with a smile, "You are indeed a temperate person, you have always been like this. Although sometimes you can't help but disappoint, but this is also the reason why I trust you."

He sat down, sniffed, smelled of alcohol, and said, "Don't forget about Yao Yao. I will make an order tomorrow to allow her to go to the Princess Mansion to relax. As for the female officer, I will let Chen Ju explain. After all, you don’t have to worry about it. But the Princess Mansion is no better than other places, you should be more careful when you go, so as not to let the wind leak, and it will be difficult for us both.”

Gao Wushi didn't expect Zhu Yijun to think of this matter again, and he repeatedly explained it.He couldn't help but wonder, and always felt that there was something wrong here.

Even if Zhu Yijun really felt that he was responsible for his younger sister's marriage, but after all, the princess is no more than an ordinary woman, and he himself is a great son of heaven, so it is almost clear that his sister is going to have an affair with a trusted courtier, isn't it? Too magical?

But Gao Wushi really couldn't think of any other reasons, so he could only pretend to be a little drunk, and complied in a daze.

The monarch and his ministers chattered for a while, until Chen Ju's voice came from outside, reminding the emperor that it was time to pay his respects to the queen mothers of the two palaces, and Zhu Yijun left in a down-to-earth manner.

Walking in the snowy palace, being blown by the biting cold wind, Gao Wushi suddenly became sober, and his heart moved: Could it be...
