King Xiang of the Red Chamber

Chapter 305

Martial virtue is abundant, this word is very aggressive, and it can be said to run counter to the "benevolence and righteousness" that Confucianism emphasizes.

So naturally, his remarks caused dissatisfaction among almost all civil servants.

Only Zhao Yushan and a few other people were thinking about whether what he said was correct, and their expressions were slightly moved.

But in the hearts of the two Zhu Jingyuan brothers, they only feel that the thirteenth brother is still the same, and can't change his nonsense character.

In other words, Zhu Jinghong's idea of ​​making mistakes and hiding his clumsiness has now achieved his goal.

Although everyone was dissatisfied with Zhu Jinghong's words, the martial artists at the scene felt at ease after hearing it.

If you follow this way of thinking, warriors will have a place to use their skills, and it will be much easier to make contributions.

Under the demotion system, if you want to keep the lintel from falling, you have to have a steady stream of military merits, and the only thing that everyone lacks is the opportunity to fight.

Of course, Wu Xun doesn't have much say in this kind of discussion, so at the moment they can only hold back their approval.

"Father, as far as my son knows, there are a lot of gold and silver mines in Wa country, gold, silver and iron are produced in North Korea, there are copper and silver mines in South Vietnam, and there is a fertile land with three crops a year..."

Whether it's true or not, Zhu Jinghong boasted in the direction of being rich anyway, in order to open up everyone's desires.

Only by taking the initiative to fight out and explore the outside world, can we not fall behind and be beaten.

Walking to the center of the main hall, Zhu Jinghong continued to talk eloquently: "Tianzhu is now occupied by the British, the barbarians, and the barbarians. What is the reason for them to come here from tens of thousands of miles away?"

"Isn't it because there are thousands of miles of fertile land in Tianzhu, and treasures and gold are everywhere!"

Facing the emperor, Zhu Jinghong stepped forward and said, "Father, take a look... This is the real open source, and it is much faster than tossing the land to get money!"

Different from ordinary monarchs, Zhu Xianming looked at things much more openly. Even if what Zhu Jinghong said was too advanced, he also thought about it.

But after thinking about it, he still feels that this is too outrageous, and it is not as practical as reforming the tax system.

It is not surprising that the emperor had such an idea. As an ancient person, it is difficult for him to have a global perspective. This is also the shackles of thinking that are difficult to change.

Although it is nonsense, but hearing that the old thirteen can speak so well, it might as well let him say a few more words, it's like listening to a story... Zhu Xianming thought to himself.

The emperor was thinking like this, but Zhu Jinghong suffered...

Speaking of which, I made a mistake here, why doesn't the old man let me go?Zhu Jinghong slandered in his heart.

Since the emperor didn't speak, he could only continue talking.

"If Daming has all these gold and silver mountains, why worry about whether the treasury is not rich? Then we can go a step further, train the army better, and earn more wealth for Daming!"

Describing "grabbing" as earning money, he just took it for granted, which caused everyone to feel his shame again.

I saw Zhu Jinghong walking towards the emperor, knelt before the emperor and said, "Father... If we don't reach out, all the good things in this world will be taken away by others!"

Looking at the youngest son kneeling at the bottom, Zhu Xianming asked in a cold voice: "You've told me everything about the world, these things...how did you know?"

"My son likes these things, so he paid more attention to them, all for the prosperity of Daming!"

The emperor didn't intend to delve into it, so Zhu Jinghong was fooled.

"You are young and short-sighted, and you take a few words of nonsense as the truth, and you utter nonsense at this sutra feast..."

"What kind of place do you think this is? Where do you put all the civil and military officials? It's your turn to point out the country here?"

The emperor's reaction couldn't be more normal, so Zhu Jinghong didn't mean to refute at all, but said: "Father... you have to blame your son for speaking badly. Isn't this a crime for speaking?"

It was just now that the matter was being discussed, and Zhu Xianming had figured out what the ministers thought, and now it was the end of the sutra feast.

By blaming Zhu Jinghong, he can save some face for civil servants and generals, and hide his own thoughts along the way... This is Zhu Xianming's plan.

"Boy, just now you walked back and forth, baring your teeth and claws... It's not too much to punish you for your misconduct, right?"

"What you say is what you say, my son dare not say more!" Zhu Jinghong looked aggrieved.

"Father, although Thirteenth Brother's speech is incoherent, he has no evil intentions...you should spare him!"

It was Prince Rui Zhu Jingyuan who stood up to speak, and the current situation seemed to him an opportunity, and he could change Zhu Jinghong's favor by pleading for mercy.

"Father... If you want to punish Shisan for his crime, my son is willing to accept it for him!"

The prince came out to plead guilty, and the appearance of disregarding life and death really moved the emperor a little.

The two of them begged, and most of the others also followed suit in order to save their face.

It's just that when begging for mercy, some people still didn't forget to arrange Zhu Jinghong's words, saying that he was young and ignorant.

Zhu Xianming didn't really want to punish him at all, so he went down the slope with the help of everyone's intercession, and then he announced the end of the sutra feast.

On the other side, in the East Hall of Kunning Palace, the Empress was watching (supervising) Zhu Yunsheng's writing, and she was listening to the maid's report on the situation.

The report was about what happened in the Wenhua Palace, and knowing that the emperor had "targeted" the crown prince again, Yang Qingyin felt uncomfortable.

When she learned that it was Zhu Jinghong who rescued the prince, Yang Qingyin couldn't help being very pleased.

"The old thirteen is still benevolent and filial, he only has a childlike heart for his brothers, and he doesn't have so many profits!"

"Breaking His Majesty's might, the Thirteenth Lord pulled the Crown Prince back to his seat, so affectionate and righteous... It is rare in ancient times!"

But Yang Qingyin said with emotion: "Yes...it's rare in ancient times, and what happened to the Zhu family in the past few decades is also rare in ancient times!"

This sentence kills the conversation, whoever dares to talk about this in front of the queen must be too dead.

"Your Majesty, drink tea!"

Looking at the slim girl in front of her, Yang Qingyin took the teacup and asked, "Girl Bao...you are talking with Shisanchang, what kind of person do you think he is?"

Hearing this, Baochai's first reaction was, why did the queen ask this question?
In another three months, Zhu Jinghong will be crowned and canonized, and the selection of the princess will be followed immediately. Is this question...

Baochai was originally very calm, but suddenly encountered such a "big event", she became nervous for a while, for fear that she might make a wrong answer.

"Returning to your mother, the Thirteenth Master is a good man. He values ​​love and righteousness, helps the poor and the poor, and loves his subjects..."

Anyway, there is nothing wrong with boasting, so Baochai thought of various words to praise, and also listed the facts behind to make sense.

After hearing Baochai's words, Yang Qingyin laughed and said, "I didn't expect this kid to have so many advantages in your eyes..."

"It seems that as my own mother, I don't know him like a little girl like you!"

Baochai then listened to Baochai's explanation: "The empress is the mother of the thirteenth master, and she is only thinking about rectifying the misconduct of the thirteenth master, so it is inevitable that she will ignore her kindness, benevolence and filial piety!"

Yang Qingyin joked: "If you say it like that, I'm still a strict mother? But in the eyes of Your Majesty, I'm a loving mother with a lot of failures!"

To be honest, being able to joke with the queen like this and make the queen willing to joke with her is actually Baochai's skill.

Now Yang Qingyin understands that her niece is a boring gourd, so it's no wonder that her youngest son is not very interested in her.

"Parents love their sons, and they have a far-reaching plan...Now the Thirteenth Master has all the virtues, is healthy, has a heart of benevolence and forgiveness, and has the righteousness of filial piety. Isn't this the merit of your mother's teaching?"

Such an answer was already close to full marks, but the queen still felt unsatisfied, so she continued to ask: "So... His Majesty made a mistake?"

Compared with the previous question, this question is even more difficult to answer.

"Your Majesty is a strict father, and he has higher demands on the Thirteenth Lord, so he feels that the Empress is much more merciful. Although there are differences...but your Majesty and the Empress have the same heart and mind to protect the Thirteenth Lord!"

Yang Qingyin smiled, very naturally and happily, thinking that the girl in front of her was the most intelligent person she had ever seen.

"Okay... well said!"

Turning her head to look to her side, Yang Qingyin said slowly: "Come here, give this girl a set of the colorful Ruyi unicorn python suit that was sent by the Shangfu Bureau a few days ago!"
