Jinyi Night Walk

After sending Gao Wei out, Zhu Yunwen sat down on the imperial leaning in frustration, feeling haggard and exhausted.

In fact, Zhu Yunqi had always disapproved of the many policies and actions of the emperor's grandfather. He felt that the emperor's grandfather could fight against the heroes, expel the Tartars, and establish a great tomorrow with a commoner. To Wenzhi...

His imperial grandfather's reign name was Hongwu. As soon as he ascended the throne, he took the reign title of Jianwen. In fact, in his heart, he had a faint feeling of fighting with his imperial grandfather. He wanted to build a prosperous world and an empire according to his own wishes.The emperor's grandfather was a Confucian outsider, and his style was too rigid.

He must earnestly believe in righteousness, uphold morality and repay, so that the world can be governed, and Daming will be turned into a royal paradise like the rule of the ancient sage kings.

However, he now feels more and more powerless. He remembers that when the emperor's grandfather was there, whether it was the Mongolian people in northern Xinjiang who gathered in large numbers and tried to invade the south, or the various rebellions in Yunnan, one after another, or when the power was overwhelming. The prime minister deliberately rebelled against him, his grandfather always reprimanded Zhang You, and lightly turned a big storm that was stirring the world into nothing.

Zhu Yunqi raised his head, looked at the memorial on the table again, and shook his head slightly.

This is a memorandum written by Gao Wei, the presiding officer of the Governor's Mansion. Gao Wei is over seventy years old and has already retired. When the yamen pays his salary this month, Gao Wei went with his family on a whim. With the new atmosphere of the court after Sun took office, Tie Xuan, the current adjudicator, saw that the old chief of the department came to receive his salary, so he politely invited him in for tea and chat.

During the conversation, Gao Wei talked about his own views on a series of major events against the reduction of feudal vassals that happened in the court recently. Tie Xuan felt that it made sense, and immediately encouraged this high-ranking official to submit a letter to the emperor. The old man was not too polite, he probably wanted to make use of his remaining energy, and after returning, he wrote a memorial seriously and went straight to see the emperor.

Gao Wei said in the memorandum: "I, Emperor Gao, was the father of three generations, and I will wash and win the Qin Dynasty. The feudal kings, who protect China, belong to the four descendants, and are the sons and gods of the gods. Strong, easy to create chaos. Today's feudal vassals are arrogant and disobedient. If they don't cut it, they will be abolished, and if they are cut, they will hurt kindness. Jia Yi said: "If you want the order of the world, you can build the princes without their strength." Chen Yu said that it is appropriate now Learn from his intentions, don't use the wrong strategy of plundering. You can follow the order of the master Yan Tween, the princes of the northwest are entrusted to the southeast in the north, and the princes in the southeast are enfeoffed in the northwest in the north. In this way, the power of the vassal king will not be weakened." ""

What Gao Wei meant was that vassal kings should be cut, but how they should be cut should be done carefully.He thinks that the Tweeting Order is an easy way to let the kings divide the feudal lands to his married princes, and these princes will continue to divide the feudal lands after they have children. In their gratitude to the emperor, they will gradually become a small feudal clan with no more than one street and one alley and a hundred households, and they will no longer be able to make troubles. The country is eternal, so there is no need to worry about a vassal king sitting on the throne and endangering the court.It is wise to cut without cutting like this.

Zhu Yunxuan was very disapproving, but the old minister was so enthusiastic that it was not easy to win his heart, so he gave him a seat, watched tea, and praised a few words casually.

Who knew that this old man retired early and had been serving Emperor Hongwu before, so he didn't know much about the character of Emperor Jianwen.Emperor Hongwu one is one, and two is two. You are right, he praised you for having the talents of the world, but if you are wrong, he can immediately throw the memorial in your face, saying that what you said does not make sense.

Zhu Yunwen just said a few polite words to him, but he took it seriously. Seeing that the emperor treated him so courteously and agreed with him very much, Gao Wei was very happy, and talked about the current court's treatment of King Zhou, King Qi, and Dai. Gao Wei believes that the method used by Huang Zicheng, Qi Tai and others to deal with several vassal kings has been criticized because of their eagerness to cut down the vassals, cleverly set up names, and use unscrupulous means.

He suggested that the emperor should strengthen his favor to the feudal vassals. After all, they are all the emperor's own uncles. There is no big sin. This kind of gift still needs to be talked about. It is time for people to ask questions, sages An imperial edict was issued to praise and reward, but not to the kings. The first offender was tolerated, the second offender was pardoned, and the third offender was not punished.With such handling, no one in the world will be dissatisfied and praise the emperor for his wisdom!

Unexpectedly, these words touched Zhu Yunxuan's sore spot, making Zhu Yunxuan's face red and white and very uncomfortable. He almost thought that Gao Wei had accepted bribes from the Dai Wang, and deliberately made him look ugly, because Gao Wei said so. This suggestion is simply a replica of his answer when Zhu Yuanzhang asked him how he would deal with it when he was worried that the feudal clans would not accept it.

If Gao Wei had said this to him a few days earlier, he might not have paid much attention to it, but he had just received the memorial from the Dai Wang, and the Dai Wang used what he said in the memorial to ridicule him for duplicity To please the first emperor, the first emperor just turned his back on the dragon and treated his uncle harshly. Now that Gao Wei mentioned these words again, it was like slapping him face to face. Zhu Yunqi felt very unhappy.

But this Gao Wei is old, and old people like to talk over and over again, chattering and chattering, chattering endlessly, Zhu Yunxuan put on an attitude of humbly asking for advice at the beginning, but gradually the anger finally came up, In the end, he couldn't bear it anymore, and finally flew into a rage.

Gao Wei had good intentions, but he was ashamed, so he had to run away in disgrace. Zhu Yunwen sat there, but the more he thought about it, the more angry he became: "Why did no one understand my painstaking efforts? In my hands, I will eliminate future troubles forever, and protect my country for generations to come. It is not easy from ancient times......

Zhu Yunwen was pitying himself and hurting himself, and when he sighed that there were not many confidantes in the world, he heard the eunuch Xiao Lin who was waiting outside the door hurriedly said, "No, no, don't make things difficult for the princess, the emperor is angry, the princess can't see you!" . "

"If the emperor is angry every day, then he won't go to court every day? You go in to deliver the report, if you don't go, then you get out of the way!"

"Princess, you can't! Ouch, little princess, what are you doing kicking your servant? This is also your duty. This servant dare not disturb the emperor!"

Zhu Yunxuan frowned, and his anger came up again. The young man's temperament was not so calm, and things always went wrong. Zhu Yunqi found that his anger was more and more prone to outbreaks recently.

"You dodge!"

"Ouch!"

There was a sound of "噗嗵" falling to the ground outside, and then the little princess Xu Ming'er took Princess Baoqing's hand, her almond-eyed eyes widened, and she walked in angrily, her petite chest heaved and fell, as if she was suppressing herself. anger.

Zhu Yunwen said with a sullen face: "Xu Miaojin, you are too presumptuous, without my permission, who let you trespass into the palace?"

Upon hearing this, Princess Baoqing quickly moved behind Xu Ming'er, and called timidly: "Baoqing has seen the emperor."

Although she is young, she also knows who treats her well and who treats her badly. In the past, this nephew, who was much older than her, was very polite to her. When he saw her, he must be respectful and respectful. But now... ..., she was a little afraid of the young emperor.

Only then did Xu Ming'er realize that the emperor in front of her was not the kind old man who seemed to be stern to her but was extremely kind. This emperor attached great importance to the etiquette of monarchs and ministers, so she held back her anger and bowed to salute, "Xu Miaojin has seen the emperor."

Zhu Yunwen snorted and said: "You are a girl, what's the matter?"

Xu Ming'er straightened up, and said, "The courtier is complaining for my second sister and second brother-in-law!"

Zhu Yunwen's face darkened all of a sudden: "The Dai Wang Zhu Gui is good at serving soldiers and civilians and amassing property, why should there be any injustice?"

Xu Minger still has a little research on "Da Gao", otherwise she wouldn't have given advice to her third brother behind the screen of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies last time. Upon hearing this, she immediately seized the crime that Zhu Yunqi showed. , Asked rhetorically: "My lady, I would like to ask the emperor, is the crime of acting for the king enough to be degraded to the common people?"

Zhu Yunqi was annoyed when he heard that, Zhu Yunqi's face was a bit sour, and he didn't show it before because he had Zhu Yuanzhang next to him, Zhu Yuanzhang himself couldn't embarrass his grandson too much, not to mention that Zhu Yunqi was taught Confucian ethics, Zhu Yuanzhang was not only his grandfather, but also his emperor. Even if he said some harsh words, he took it for granted. Now that he is the emperor, he cannot stand being questioned and provoked by others.

Zhu Yunwen was furious, pointed at her and said: "When is it your turn to speak out about the important matter of the court, what's the matter with your elder brother, has he never disciplined you?"

Xu Ming'er is not as tall as Zhu Yunqi, but when Zhu Yunqi reprimanded her, she did not retreat a single step, she only raised her shrewd eyebrows slightly, her black and white eyes were always looking at the emperor, and said softly: "Wang Gu said about him ?”

The 11-year-old girl's expression didn't have any hint of sarcasm or sarcasm, and she even had a sense of innocence, but this soft sentence, hitting the nail on the head, made Zhu Yunqi feel naked humiliation more than any harsh insult: "Are you exhausted?"

Zhu Yunwen raised his palm vigorously, Xu Ming'er raised his shattered face without flinching, Zhu Yunwen took a few breaths, and said angrily: "Drag her out, drag her out for me, drag her out. Send Xu Huizu to Lianchuan! Send Wei Guogong to the palace!"

"As the eldest brother, how do you discipline your younger sister! As the Duke of the state, how do you discipline your family! Do you have any tutors in your Xu family? Are there any rules? Do you even understand the country!"

Zhu Yunwen said something, and slapped the table until his palms turned red, but he didn't notice it at all.

Xu Huizu knelt under the Dan Chi, sweating like rain.

The emperor wants to cut down the vassal, how can Wei Guogong Xu Huizu not see it?The three daughters of the Xu family are all the concubines of the vassal kings, and their husbands are all on the list of cutting the vassals, so the Zhongshan Palace is in a predicament.Xu Huizu is the eldest son of Xu, who inherited Naifu's loyalty and honesty. From the bottom of his heart, he is loyal to the court and the king's affairs. He will unconditionally obey any decision of the emperor.

But this time, the imperial court wanted to cut down the feudal clan, and his three brother-in-laws were all among them, especially King Yan, who was the target that the imperial court wanted to get rid of. How dare the emperor entrust him with important tasks and trust?Therefore, in the past, he was the head of the martial arts class in the court, and he was always the most valued by the court.Now he is on the fringes of the regime, and it is not good to approach him proactively, let alone showing nothing. As the head of the Zhongshan Palace, Xu Huizu is under a lot of pressure.

But at this time, the little girl who doesn't know the severity came to anger the emperor again. If the emperor thinks that the younger sister's opinion on the generation of the king and the reduction of the vassal is the unanimous opinion of my Xu family, then my Xu family... Now, Xu Huizu felt chills in his bones, he was really worried, he didn't know what kind of punishment he would receive.

Seeing Xu Huizu sweating profusely, Zhu Yunwen just kowtowed to plead guilty, and gradually his anger subsided.

The Xu family is the No. 1 family of the Ming Dynasty, and its influence can be described as intricate and deep-rooted, whether in the court or in the army.The imperial court wants to cut down the vassals and implement the Jianwen New Deal, the support of the Xu family is indispensable, at least the Xu family cannot be held back. This Xu Huizu is still a rule. He has never had the slightest objection to the imperial court's cutting down the vassals, and he has always expressed his support. The ignorant wild girl made him too embarrassed.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yunwen sighed, and said: "Get up! Xu Miaojin is a daughter after all, and I don't want to be too harsh. After you return to the mansion, confine her in the mansion and strictly discipline her. Before she leaves the cabinet, she will not be allowed to leave the Zhongshan Palace. Half a step!"

"Sir, obey the order!"

Xu Huizu kowtowed tremblingly, only to feel that his clothes had been soaked in cold sweat.

In Zhongshan Prince's Mansion, Xu Zengshou rode upside down on a chair and said to Xu Ming'er, "Is that what you told the emperor?"

Xu Ming'er said unconvinced: "Yes, allow him to do it, but not me?"

Xu Zengshou raised his thumb, and praised with a smile on his face: "As expected of the seed of our Xu family, sister, you are amazing, the third brother admires you!"

Xu Minger and Xiaoyao turned their noses up and snorted.

Xu Zengshou said angrily: "Third brother is also feeling blocked. The world has just been handed over to the emperor. Isn't it good that the world is peaceful? It must stir up a bloody storm.

Needless to say, the second brother-in-law, although he is a bit flawed in the imperial court, but he is also a good hand in guarding the frontier and fighting.Besides, eldest brother-in-law, elder brother-in-law has fought for the court many times, what wrong has he done?Look at the imperial court's pressing step by step, it's clearly...I'm not convinced! "

Xu Ming'er was surprised and said: "What, the emperor still wants to deal with the eldest brother-in-law?"

Xu Zengshou regretted his slip of the tongue. This girl is young and doesn't know the seriousness. She really shouldn't have said these words to her. He coughed and covered up: "Well..., I'm just guessing, maybe..."

Xu Ming'er said angrily: "Third brother, the emperor has done something wrong, you are a minister, you should be admonishing, why can't you just speak out?"

Xu Zengshou sighed, and said helplessly: "Sister, the emperor is going to cut down the clan. Your three sisters are all princes and concubines of the clan. Can the emperor not suspect that our Xu family is helping the clans? The emperor is suspicious, what more can I say? This is you, a daughter's family, what I said is too light, the emperor is not good, if you go to the emperor and say so... ",

He compared his hands to his neck, lowered his voice and said: "That is the crime of beheading!"

When Xu Ming'er heard this, she worriedly said: "Then... Eldest brother was summoned by the emperor, won't... What will happen to Eldest brother?"

Xu Zengshou said: "That's not true. I guess it's enough to scold and get angry. The emperor is cutting down the feudal clan. If we suddenly cut down the first Duke of Ming Dynasty at this time, it will be lively. Not only the feudal clans Uneasy, I am afraid that all the princes and princes will be uneasy, the emperor may not dare to make such a situation, unless...he is crazy!"

As soon as I said this, someone shouted in the distance: "The Duke returns to the mansion~~~"

Xu Zengshou jumped up suddenly, and said to Xu Ming'er: "Hurry up, you hide first, I will find out what the big brother has to say, lest he get angry and use his family to punish you."

"it is good!"

Xu Ming'er fled away in a flash, Xu Huizu walked into the hall angrily, saw the third younger brother hanging around drinking tea with his legs crossed, and shouted: "Where is the little sister, where is the little sister?"

Xu Zengshou put down his teacup and said, "Brother, what's the matter? The younger sister was also very angry when she came back, and then she said that she was going to Mochou Lake to relax. When she went out, who provoked you?"

"Does she still have leisure time to swim in the lake?"

Xu Huizu stomped furiously and said: "She even dares to scold the emperor, what other troubles does she dare not break into? The emperor ordered her to be confined in the mansion. Until she gets married, she will never leave the palace again!"

He wandered around the hall twice like a trapped animal, then sat down slumped and said, "Oh! We are the daughter of the Xu family, but we can no longer marry the royal family. The royal family is dangerous, and it is a hundred times better than the common people. It is a big deal to lose your head at every turn." Ah. Our Xu family is already an excellent minister, so we don’t need to add more flowers. You go and bring her back to me immediately, and lock her up in the mansion. In a few years, find her a clean and ordinary family. Got married and got married."

Xu Ming'er was lying behind the screen. When she heard that she was going to be put under house arrest in the mansion, she couldn't help being startled and angry. She rolled her eyes, and suddenly turned and walked away, like a civet cat, turning left and right. He disappeared without a trace.

Xia Xun set off on the road happily alone.

Everything in the family has been properly arranged, and he believes that thanking him for being vigilant and wise is enough to keep his family safe, and without any worries, Xia Qing can feel relaxed.

I still remember that when he left Huzhou to go north, he was going to join King Yan. Unexpectedly, after a few years, he still took this road.

In order for him to gain King Yan's trust smoothly, Luo Qianshi did a lot of preparatory work, and even reluctantly prepared a nomination certificate for him, handing over a secret spy lurking in Beiping to him, and he can sacrifice this person if necessary. To gain King Yan's trust, but how does Master Luo know his real plan.

He is going to follow his own routine. Since he has nothing to do, then at this critical moment, he must not be on the wrong side. How can he know the future of the world? The picture scroll of Jiangshan is not as elegant as my Xia Xun people smeared it?

The carp got off the golden hook, shook its head and tail and never came again!

Xia Xun smiled slightly.

Xu Ming'er wanted to cry, standing in the bustling market in Yangzhou Mansion, starving, she suddenly realized that she didn't have any money with her.She used to go out without any money with her, and when she was away from home, she left in a hurry, how could she remember?

Seeing the steamed buns and baked cakes on the stall in front of her, Xu Ming'er quietly swallowed them.Spitting, timidly thinking: "If I eat for free, they will definitely not do it, and I am not a relative of their family, who would want to do nothing for nothing......

ps: Ask for Yuemo, recommended tickets, join hands to buy a steamed bun for the little loli^_^
