Jinyi Night Walk

Zhu Di happily returned to the palace, where Xie Jin was waiting for him.

In the past few days, apart from collecting some memorials related to the national economy and the people's livelihood, Xie Jin focused on presenting them to the emperor, that is, collecting Zhu Gaoxu's crimes everywhere, and today he is here to make a small report on Zhu Gaoxu.

Xie Jin knew that Zhu Di went out of the palace in micro-clothes today to see Zhu Gaoxu performing martial arts, and he also asked clearly that it was Ji Gang who brought it up that aroused the emperor's interest. Xie Jin naturally thought that Ji Gang was talking about Zhu Gaoxu's backs.Originally, although Xie Jin and other civil servants did not get along with Ji Gang, everyone was a party of the prince after all. Back then, Ji Gang stabbed King Han severely in the back.

In the officialdom, if you betrayed once, you have lost a word of "faith". If you are capricious, you will not have a place to stay in any camp. How could Ji Gang help Zhu Gaoxu.But he never thought that Ji Gang was "raising the bandit's self-respect" and solving his immediate predicament first.With this misjudgment, Xie Jin wanted to strike while the iron was hot, and then give King Han some eye drops.

When Zhu Di asked him why he came, Xie Jin said: "Your Majesty, the King of Han won the title of King Di, but he has not become a feudal clan for a long time. He has been staying in the capital, which is really inconsistent with the ancestral system. That's all. After returning from sweeping the north, the King of Han relied on his military exploits. All day long, he led a group of guards to swagger through the city, and the etiquette standards for their daily expenses are the same as those of the crown prince, or even worse." Zhu Di had just gone to the Longjiang Station, and was delighted by Zhu Gaoxu's bravery. Seeing this, Xie Jin's expression darkened immediately, and Xie Jin knew that the emperor was not very happy when he saw his expression was a little unhappy.But..., of course he was not happy when Lao Tzu spoke ill of his son, and Xie Jin didn't think much about it, and continued: "I also heard that the King of Han was in the army and he called himself General Tiance, and the soldiers in the army also called themselves Tiance Admirals." compliment.

Your Majesty, the King of Han is the King of Han. This is a title bestowed by the imperial court. His Royal Highness the King of Han has never been conferred the title of general strategist. Wouldn't it be a violation of the court's rules to pretend to be so?The superiority and inferiority of the upper and lower ranks are the foundation of maintaining the court law. The etiquette standards of the King of Han are even worse than that of the prince, so who is the king and who is the minister?The monarch is humble and the minister is arrogant, the source of disaster. "

Xie Jin was nagging and said that Zhu Di was already displeased, and asked in a deep voice, "Is this what the prince meant?"

Xie Jin hurriedly said: "This is what I mean. I have never heard what the prince said, and I have never had contact with the prince!"

Zhu Di snorted, and said with an angry face: "Gao Chi Gao Xu, brother and brother are respectful, and brotherly love is deep. The crown prince has no objection to this, why should the bachelor talk too much? Tai, Huang Zicheng and others are slandering and slandering the imperial family, instigating the remnants of the clan, just to find their own si, it is difficult for them to calm down, do you dare not take the lessons from the past as a warning?"

Xie Jin touched a hard nail, and hurriedly explained with a white face: "The emperor's ministers are half-hearted, and have any thoughts? It's just that the crown prince is the prince of the country. He maintains the crown prince's majesty, and he is not allowed to bully him. This is... "

Zhu Di flicked his sleeves and said abruptly, "Stop talking, step back!"

"Yes!"

Xie Jin had no choice but to raise his eyes quietly. The emperor's face was full of gloom, and he was already very impatient, so he bowed and retreated.

Zhu Di looked at the direction where he disappeared, and said in a deep voice: "The great gentry presides over the cabinet, just like the prime minister of the country. It has been a long time, and he has forgotten himself!" At this time, Sai Yi, the minister of the Ministry of officials, came again, and Zhu Di asked angrily: "What's the matter?" Sai Yi was taken aback, seeing the emperor's expression was displeased, he didn't dare to ask further questions, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the imperial edict you have drafted has been prepared, please review it"...

Zhu Di received the edict from Sai Yi with lingering anger. According to the usual practice, he talked eloquently at the beginning of the chapter, but the real content was actually just one sentence: to raise the cabinet scholars from the fifth rank to the second rank .

Since its establishment, the cabinet has gradually played a role and became a power organization above the six ministries. However, because the cabinet during Zhu Yuanzhang's period was only equivalent to the emperor's personal secretarial team, the grade for the cabinet's senior scholars was originally set as five. Taste.

Now this rank is too disproportionate to their power. Limiting their rank to the fifth rank in vain cannot change the fact that they are higher than the sixth rank. It is also unfair to the elders of the cabinet. Bring it up, so that it lives up to its name.

Zhu Di quickly read those empty words, and when he saw the end, it was the names of the seven elders. Zhu Di pondered for a while, picked up the ink pen, and angrily crossed Xie Jin's name from it, thinking to himself : "Huang Kao thought he was young and young, arrogant and arrogant, and told him to go home for ten years of hard work, but now it seems that it is not enough, he has to be taught a lesson!" Sai Yi took the draft, swept it hastily, and saw The name of the cabinet chief assistant Xie Jin was crossed out from the name of the cabinet bachelor, and he couldn't help but be puzzled: "What does this mean? All the bachelors are promoted to the second rank, and only the chief assistant is left in the fifth rank. Is the position of the chief assistant unstable?" Sai Yi was thinking wildly, but Zhu Di said: "According to this, the Ming Dynasty will issue it!"

Ziqi and several powerful ministers and nobles came back from visiting Qixia Mountain, and immediately asked: "Where is the master?" The maid took off her cloak for her and smiled! "The master took the young lady and the young master to fish for toads in the back garden.

Zi Qi couldn't help laughing and said: "Look at what he is leading the children to play with!"

Turning his feet, Zi Qi turned to the back garden.

"mother!"

As soon as Siqi saw his mother coming, he immediately threw down his fishing rod and rushed towards her. Yang Huaiyuan liked this aunt who could fly high and high very much. His own mother could not fly, so when he saw Aunt Qi coming, he wanted her to hug her He watched Feifei again, but Qiaoyun stopped him and wiped his snot with a handkerchief, making Young Master Yang very impatient.

Xia Xun turned her head to see her, smiled and patted a smooth stone beside her, and said, "Zi Qi is back, sit down! Did you have a good time?"

Siqi sat down next to him with her daughter in his arms, and said, "I look at the red leaves of Qixia every year, and it's just like that when I see too much. What's so good about it? I'm with those wives. Zhang's parents and Li's family are short, and we can talk too much." It's just those boring gossips, it's boring!"

Xia Xun laughed when he heard this, and Siqi lowered his voice and said, "I met Mrs. Xisi today. She said that the leaders of the Xuanwei Division in Sizhou and Sinan killed each other because of the gap, and Guizhou was in chaos. Report this matter quickly to the Star, as soon as you arrive at the Department of General Affairs today, you will be able to put it on the emperor's desk tomorrow morning!"

Xia Xun nodded slightly, and sighed slightly: "You don't know when you don't pay attention. There are too many places in the country that need to be consolidated and rectified. I can't even eat the meal in my own bowl, and I still miss others. It's in a bowl, if you want to eat a fat man in one bite, how can you do it!"

It turned out that although the Guizhou area was under the rule of the Ming Dynasty at that time, the imperial court did not have three divisions there. Instead, the leaders of the local minorities were designated as Xuanwei divisions, and they still managed their original territories and people, and gradually infiltrated them. Strengthen the central management, so the degree of local autonomy there is quite high.

In fact, it is not just now that there are various problems in Ming Dynasty. There are problems every day, but some problems are dealt with directly below, and there is no need to report them to the emperor for decision. Some of them are reported to the emperor. It doesn't show mountains and rivers.Now it is doing the opposite, picking up news in this area and reporting it, and even exaggerating it, which naturally seems to focus on the problem.

Xia Xun smiled and said: "Report this headache, the emperor must send troops to solve it.

Well, with this matter involved, the emperor has to act more cautiously with Annan.However, I think it is not a bad thing to make trouble in Guizhou. The emperor just seized the opportunity to further infiltrate the power of the imperial court and strengthen his control over Guizhou step by step.Look, the emperor will not let go of this good opportunity! "

At this time, Yang Huaiyuan finally wiped his little face clean, and ran to grab his precious little bamboo basket in a stumbling manner. Qiaoyun was behind him grabbing his vest to prevent him from falling, and Yang Huaiyuan handed the little bamboo basket to Peng Ziqi as if offering a treasure. , showing off with a smile: "Auntie, look, we caught a lot of toads, hehehe..."

Peng Ziqi learned knives and guns when he was young, and he is highly skilled and bold, but after all, he is a daughter's family. When he saw the huahua green frog, he was afraid, so he quickly waved his hands and said: "Hurry up, hurry up, you stinky little girl!"

Son, scare my aunt, what's so good about this thing! "Yang Huaiyuan said unconvinced: "How fun!Fourth sister, let's play toad without my aunt! "Peng Ziqi was angry and laughed when he heard it.

At this moment, a figure suddenly flashed down the corridor, stopped far away, and bowed to Xia Xun. Xia Xun glanced at it, saw that it was Zuo Dan, left Peng Ziqi and a pair of children who were laughing and making a fuss, and walked towards Xia Xun. he goes.

Since Zuo Dan returned from Liaodong, he has been in charge of Qianlong's affairs in the capital. Xia Xun's Qianlong has two fixed forces, one is responsible for overseas trade, infiltration of foreign countries and intelligence collection, and the other stays in the capital. , specializing in the investigation of Beijing and China's large and small affairs, and the other is the mobile force.

Seeing Xia Xun, Zuo Dan bowed again and said, "Duke, just received the news that the emperor visited Tiance Guard at Longjiang Station, praised Tiance Guard, and ordered the Ministry of War and the five armies The government should follow suit and strengthen the training of the children of heroes."

Xia Xun's expression tightened when he heard this, and he said in a deep voice, "Could it be that the emperor's move is to use the King of Han?"

He paced heavily under the wisteria trellis. After a while, his pace gradually slowed down and finally stabilized. He raised his head, looked at the green vines above his head, and said slowly: "The key is who will lead the army, the emperor: we To stop the king of Han, the key is to find out whether the emperor has the idea of ​​easy storage. If he has the idea of ​​easy storage, or loves his son, different methods must be used for different ideas. If the understanding is wrong, it will be self-defeating.

"Card card card!" The sound of his son teasing the frog came from his ears. Startled, Xia Xun looked around and saw that his son had already dumped the frog out of the bamboo basket and teased it with a stick. The frog jumped , so frightened that he turned around and ran away, laughing and pounced on Qiaoyun, his shape and appearance were amusing.

Xia Xun looked at his son, and a hint of understanding gradually came to his mind. A knowing smile appeared on his face, and he said, "Zuo Dan, hurry up and find out a few things, the first one..."! .
