Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 399 Chen Xun made a slip of the tongue and wanted to recommend his teacher, Wei Ji judged that An De had a good death
Zhu Qiyu and Shen Yi first reviewed the glorious years of fighting against Oirats, and then talked about the future plans for the Ministry of Households.

The two chatted very speculatively.

Because the thinking of the two is very consistent, both want to practice thrift.

Needless to say, Shen Yi, no matter who is in the position of Minister of the Household Department, they will plan carefully and search carefully.

What's more, Shen Yi is a clean and honest official, and has worked in the household department for many years, and is recognized as an expert in financial management.

Zhu Qiyu also hopes to cut down all meaningless expenses, which coincides with Shen Yi's idea.

But Zhu Qiyu didn't intend to win over Shen Yi.

Facing the intensifying dispute between the two saints, Zhu Qiyu's chosen strategy is to speak with his political achievements.

Use the real prosperity of China to completely win the hearts of the people, instead of being immersed in conspiracy and tricks all day long.

Of course, it wouldn't be impossible to use no emperor's mind, so wouldn't he become Song Xianggong.

It's better that Emperor Xiaoxuan said, our system of the Han family is mixed and used by kings and domineers.

Thinking of talking about political achievements requires a large number of 'technocrats'.These officials must be clean, capable, and relatively neutral. They should not easily get involved in political disputes and just focus on their work.

Such officials are hard to find, and every time one is discovered, one must be cared for and cherished.

Zhu Qiyu and Shen Yi chatted more and more enthusiastically, but Wang Wen couldn't help but interrupted.

Zhu Qiyu looked at Wang Wen curiously. Generally speaking, Wang Wen would not be so blind. Could there be something urgent?

Wang Wen bowed and said: "Your Majesty, Jin Lian's family came to the cabinet to report early this morning. Jin Shangshu suddenly became seriously ill last night and fell into a coma. I'm afraid..."

"Ah? Did you send the imperial doctor to see it?"

"Sent, the imperial doctor reported that Jin Shangshu is old, and he has been overseeing the army in the south. He has been working hard for several years, and he became sick from overwork. If he can survive the summer, he may recover."

The imperial doctor said it very euphemistically, meaning that Jin Lian would not survive this summer.

Zhu Qiyu sighed heavily, Jin Lian really did his best for Daming.All the characters present hurt their own kind, and they all fell into a sad mood.

Young people like Zhu Qiyu and He Yi are okay, most of the rest are in their [-]s and [-]s, and they all empathize with Jin Lian's situation.

Zhu Qiyu was silent for a moment, and then said to Wang Wen: "Please ask Wang Aiqing to visit on behalf of the court, and give Jin Aiqing a thousand taels of silver and a hundred pieces of brocade.

He also ordered the imperial physicians to be on duty in the Jinfu in turn, and all the decoctions and medicines needed were supplied by the Imperial Hospital. "

Wang Wen quickly took the order, and asked for instructions: "The Ministry of Punishment has a lot of affairs, and someone needs to share the affairs of the Ministry. Dare I ask Your Majesty, how should we deal with it?"

Zhu Qiyu scratched his head when he heard the words, and it would definitely not work to appoint another Minister of the Ministry of Punishment.

Jin Lian just fell ill, and you appointed a new minister on the same day, it's too cold to be a human being.

But it is really too busy for Wang Wen to manage the affairs of the department alone.There are many things that cannot be solved by the Minister of Criminal Justice alone.

After being stunned for a while, Zhu Qiyu replied: "Let me think about it. Let Yu Aiqing stay in the Ministry of Criminal Justice to help you."

It sounds a bit strange to ask the Minister of the Ministry of War to help the Ministry of Punishment, but this is only a stopgap measure, and it can barely be justified.

Next, the court meeting will be more serious, and it is not suitable for joking anymore.

Yu Shiyue, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, stood up and said: "Your Majesty, there are rumors about the abolition of the crown prince in the capital. They all wrote to Lin Cong and Ye Sheng, Li Kan and Yushi Zhuying, thinking that there is nothing wrong with the East Palace. Virtue should not be abolished without authorization. How to answer, please ask the Holy Judge."

Hearing this, Zhu Qiyu frowned.

Yu Shiyue waited and waited, but couldn't wait for the emperor's reply.Just when Yu Shiyue thought that the emperor was going to play tricks, she heard Zhu Qiyu ask Chen Xun:

"Chen Aiqing, I heard that Old Shangshu Wei has come to the capital?"

Chen Xun nodded: "Old Wei, Minister of the Ministry of Officials in Nanjing, is seventy-seven years old. Duke Wei invited Wei to go to the capital with him because the court respected the elderly."

"I remember Wei Lao Shangshu was still Chen Aiqing's teacher. During the orthodox years, Wang Zhen was in power, he was arrogant and bullied the minister, but he only respected Wei Lao and called him Mr.

Wei Gongduan is honest and cautious, mature and prudent, and even Wang Zhen admires him, so it is also right for me to ask for help and listen to the lesson in person.

But how did I hear that Wei Lao was determined to leave his post before he reached Mianjun? "

When Chen Xun heard the words, he was startled and frightened: How could the emperor know everything? When this matter is investigated in detail, it's hard to say.The person who is looking for trouble is Yu Shiyue, Your Majesty, what is the use of targeting me, whoever I provoke.

Zhu Qiyu was waiting there eagerly. Chen Xun saw that he couldn't hide, so he had to reply: "The minister went to see Mr. Wei the day before yesterday, and said: "Although you are the magistrate of the tomb, you have never established a dynasty. I wish you less time, and it's up to your generation." .

When Wei Lao heard the words, he confronted him seriously and said: the king is a minister, and he should be a talented person in the world, and he should not be private. "

After Chen Xun finished speaking, he raised his head and looked at the emperor. Seeing that the emperor's eyes were cold and bottomless, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue:

"After the minister left, the old speaker of Wei said: 'He took the affairs of the court as his own, and he died peacefully.'

Therefore, it was the fault of the humble minister that made Wei Laosheng intend to become an official. "

Seeing that Chen Xun had told the whole story without any concealment, Zhu Qiyu nodded in satisfaction.

Chen Xun broke out in a cold sweat, soaking his underwear.

This is already an extremely stern warning from the emperor. To put the emperor's meaning in plain language is: "I know exactly what little tricks you guys are doing in private."

Giving you so much autonomy in the cabinet is to let you do things for the court, not to use it against the emperor.

Don't think I have no means, it's just that I'm too lazy to talk to you.If I don't give you some flair, you really think that I can only play with women at home. '

Hey, Chen Xun originally wanted to run a position in the cabinet for his mentor Wei Ji, but Wei Ji not only didn't appreciate it, but also accused Chen Xun of harming the country for selfishness.

"Take the affairs of the court as his own, and die peacefully." Wei Ji's accusation against Chen Xun was already very severe.

And Zhu Qiyu forced Chen Xun to say this sentence himself, which was also a response to Yu Shiyue.

There are also two meanings in this: first, as the emperor, I know the consequences of deposing the prince.Moreover, I have a public heart, and I will not take court affairs as my own.

The second is that you can't just ask me, but not the emperor.The imperial court is also not for the emperor's family, everyone is safe and sound, that's easy to say, and I will not depose the prince.

But if the emperor's family is allowed to do something that damages the foundation of Ming Dynasty, then it will be a 'peaceful death'.

Yu Shiyue could also understand the voice of Zhu Qiyu's words, so Yu Shiyue was also in a cold sweat.

Seeing that the effect was achieved, Zhu Qiyu instructed Chen Xun: "Chen Aiqing, go and make arrangements, and you must dissuade Mr. Wei. You and Mr. Wei can discuss a suitable time. I want to arrange a family banquet and ask Mr. Wei personally."

Chen Xun hurriedly took the order, but his heart was full of misery: he is a stubborn teacher, once he decides something, the eight horses will not come back.I just wait to beg my grandpa to sue my grandma, even kowtowing may not work.

With a righteous reputation in hand, the emperor wanted to control the ministers, and there were so many ways that he couldn't count them.The reason why you think the emperor is easy to bully is because the emperor is too lazy to talk to you.

Zhu Qiyu didn't care how bitter Chen Xun was, so he turned to Wang Wen and said, "Aiqing, draw up a decree. You will be promoted to Lin Cong and Ye Sheng in Youchunfang and Youzhongyun in the matter; you will be promoted to Li Kan in the matter." , Zhu Ying, the censor, praised Youchunfang Youshan, and rewarded him for his outspokenness and daring to advise.

These four people will be responsible for assisting the prince full-time after that.The prince is the foundation of the country, and it is a great responsibility to assist the prince, and you should encourage it. "

Wang Wen smiled knowingly, and quickly received the edict.

Although the four of them have been promoted, they will no longer be officials of science and Taoism in the future, and they can still write letters, but they can no longer hear rumors.

And Zhan Shifu's Youchunfang is nominally the crown prince's official, since you support the prince so much, if you are promoted to Youchunfang, you don't think I have treated you badly.
