Jinyi Night Walk

Zhu Zhanji took Zhu Di's big hand, walked all the way, and said all the way: "I really don't blame Daddy for this matter, Daddy got up very early and rushed to the palace to arrange the reception. Grandpa, look, the grandpa in the palace There are so many civil and military ministers, and so many foreign envoys arranging the banquet, is there a bit of chaos? Dad has confirmed the matters in the palace, and it is quite early to go to meet the emperor, but something unexpected happens on the way , It's also a coincidence, we were in a hurry, and the time when Grandpa Huang arrived..."

The same thing, if another person talks about it, the effect will be very different. Zhu Di knew that he was talking about his father, but he was not annoyed. He asked a lot, and after clarifying the whole story, he said: "You You little devil, you came back with Grandpa Huang, and Grandpa doesn't know about these things, how did you know?"

Zhu Zhanji said: "The grandpa gave a banquet to all the officials, and the grandson went back to the uterus to visit my mother. My mother told me."

Zhu Di snorted and said, "You kid, forget it this time. Grandpa loves you, so you can't be arrogant. Today is not the father teaching the son, but the gentleman teaching the courtiers. You must not interfere again in the future." !"

Zhu Zhanji pursed his lips and said: "The emperor's grandfather once taught his grandson that there are two problems with the ruler: if you appoint a virtuous person, the minister will take advantage of the virtuous person to rob his ruler; if you act recklessly, things will be invincible. Happiness and anger are invisible, like a sharp weapon of the country, it is not easy to show it to others, but why is the emperor's beard blowing his beard and staring at his eyes today, it's so scary!"

Zhu Di was silent for a moment, then smiled softly, and said, "Grandson, grandpa taught you not to show your emotions and anger, not to tell you to abstain from your temper, to have no joy or anger, but to let the officials know whether you are happy or not, whether you are happy or not." Let the courtiers know that you are angry, do you understand? Buddhism talks about no thoughts, no appearance, no abiding. Look at the majestic appearance of the current Buddha Sakyamuni. Naturally, you don’t know whether he is happy or angry, but the future Buddha Maitreya laughs. Do you know if he is happy or angry by opening his mouth often?"

Zhu Zhanji blinked.After all, he was young, and although he was intelligent, Zhu Di couldn't understand Zhu Di's profound words...

It was already evening when Xia Xun came back from Chaoli, but he didn't sleep when he returned home. After taking a shower, he went into the study room, holding a volume of idle books, and read it time after time.Sudden.There was a knock on the window lattice, Xia Xun cheered up, and hurriedly said, "Come in!"

Xu Jiang stepped in.He clasped his fists and said, "Duke!"

Xia Xun hurriedly asked, "How's the situation?"

Xu Jiang hurriedly talked about what happened in the palace today, Xia Xun let out a long breath, and said happily: "It seems that the position of prince can be preserved. As long as the emperor doesn't want to waste the reserve, nothing else is important. There is room for maneuver in everything.”

Xu Jiangdao: "Duke, it's just a little late to welcome you. The emperor ordered the prince to go back to the palace to think about it. Is it over?"

Xia Xun shook his head lightly. He walked to the window and stretched out his hand to open it.Looking at the gloomy sky outside the window, he said in a deep voice, "Thunder has been brewing for so long, how could it not strike?"

The next morning, Sirin's water broke.Seeing that the signs of childbirth were so obvious, and the whole house was busy, Xia Xun couldn't help, so he just walked around in the main room to listen to the news, but from morning to noon, Xilin was not in labor, and Xia Xun was in the process of giving birth. When there is nothing to do when there is nothing to do.A middle official came to the mansion and delivered the emperor's oral order.Tell him to enter the palace after noon to meet him.

Xia Xun has entered the palace more times, and it used to be as natural as going home.It's hard to feel uneasy, but this time, I felt a sense of unforeseen misfortune and fortune.In the afternoon, guessing that it was almost time for the emperor to take a nap, Xia Xun saw that Xilin was still dead, so she had to ask her family to take good care of her, and she went to the palace to see her.

In the hall, Zhu Di was the only one reviewing the memorial. When he saw him coming, he put down his ink brush and asked for a seat. Everything was as usual, and there was nothing unusual about it, which made Xia Xun even more worried.

When the waiter served tea, Zhu Di said: "I plan to summon the envoys of Timur and Japan respectively. You have participated in the affairs of these two places. You should know more about how to treat them. belly case."

Xia Xun just picked up the tea, put it down quickly, and said with a serious face: "Yes! The emperor already knows the purpose of the envoys from the two countries to pay tribute to Beijing, and he has a strategy to deal with it. If the emperor wants to consult the opinions of the ministers In this case, what I mean is: both countries are holding each other, both sides are holding each other, one is clearly seen, and the other is secretly seen!"

"Oh? How do you say this?"

Xia Xun explained: "On the Japanese side, of course, one is bright and the other is dark. They secretly provide help to Hou Guishan through coastal merchants, but Mingli needs the emperor's explicit support for Hou Xiaosong. Of course, regarding Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's family affairs, there can be no support from both sides. Oh, that Ashikaga Yoshichi has always been hostile to me, Daming, so you must support Ashikaga Yoshimitsu’s biological son Ashikaga Yoshihiro, and blow Ashikaga Yoshichi from the position of the general who conquered the barbarians! When necessary, you may as well respond to Ashikaga At Yoshimitsu's request, give us military support!"

These words seemed to please Zhu Di, he stroked his beard and nodded slowly.Xia Xun said again: "As for the Timur Empire, you can't use the dark ones. The sky is high and the road is far away. The emperor's influence on the country is limited. Only by supporting them clearly can they ask the emperor."

Zhu Di frowned slightly and said, "There's an incompatibility between them, An Ken agrees?"

Xia Xun said: "If you don't agree, it's tantamount to pushing Daming to the opponent's side. How could they not agree? Can the emperor still hope to show kindness to them and make them submit to Daming willingly? The crown prince appointed by Timur is already dead. , neither of them is the legal successor of the country, only by this one, His Majesty can tease them in the palm of his hand. Don't let the east wind overwhelm the west wind, and don't let the west wind overwhelm the east wind, so that the emperor can reap the benefits of the fisherman!"

Zhu Di chewed this sentence carefully, and said lightly: "Okay! It's better not to let the east wind overwhelm the west wind, and not let the west wind overwhelm the east wind, so that we can reap the benefits of fishermen!"

Xia Xun coughed twice, and said: "Of course, this is because my Ming Dynasty is under the rule of the emperor. The weather is smooth, the country is peaceful and the people are safe, and I have strong strength. That's why we can take advantage of the internal conflicts between Timurid and Japan, as well as between Tatars and Oirats. Contradictions, divide and conquer!"

Zhu Di took a fixed look at Xia Xun, and suddenly asked: "You were assassinated when you met the Moro envoy of the Timurid Kingdom at Xuanwu Lake. The Jin Yiwei is still investigating this case. In your opinion, is it true that the person who boarded the ship to assassinate him was actually sent by Wushang, the envoy of the Timur Kingdom?"

Xia Xun asked back: "I don't know what the emperor thinks about this matter?"

Zhu Di said: "Judging from the situation I have now, it can be said that there are many doubts. Before and after Wushang entered our Daming, would he send some other assassins to follow him secretly? What is their purpose? If it is to assassinate Mo Luo, they will be killed along the way. Fighting openly and secretly, if they can kill, they will kill them long ago. Now that they have entered the capital of our Ming Dynasty, the chances of success are extremely slim. They dare to attack? It is unbelievable. Especially, Shah Ruh’s current strength is faintly above Harry Sultan. It is more hopeful to be recognized by me, so why take such a risk in the capital to anger me?"

Xia Xun said: "Your Majesty has learned a lesson. I also feel that there is something strange about it. It would be unreasonable to say that this matter is indeed Wushang's. The Moro envoy insisted that it was Wushang's work. The reason is self-evident. It's beneficial to win my Daming's approval, but we need to find out clearly. It's just that the minister met Mo Luo at the time, drank a few more glasses, was poisoned again during the dinner, and ran for his life in a panic, knowing the assassin's situation There are not many, and it is not easy to figure out their origins.

Lord Ji Gang is in charge of Jinyiwei, he is resourceful and resourceful, since the case is entrusted to him, it is expected that the truth will eventually be revealed, I dare not speculate.Your Majesty is busy with affairs of state, please don't bother with these matters any more, right now the top priority is to appease Timur and the envoys of Japan and Japan! "

Zhu Di smiled lightly, and said, "I see, your injury is still unhealed, and you should go back to recuperate!"

Xia Xun got up quickly: "Yes, I will leave!"

Zhu Di stared fixedly at Xia Xun's staggering back until the figure completely disappeared at the entrance of the main hall, then slowly withdrew his deep gaze, showing a faint look of contemplation.At this time, Musi came in on tiptoe, and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, the officials from the Eastern Palace have already brought you here!"

Zhu Di looked serious, and said in a deep voice: "Leave Yang Pu and Jin Zhong, and the rest will be imprisoned for participation!"

After a while, Yang Pu and Jin Zhong were brought into the hall.

The prince was late to welcome the driver, and there is a gift from his wife and ministers. This matter can be big or small. If the emperor doesn't want to punish him, he can just reprimand him. If the emperor wants to punish him, this crime can make a big fuss.

As mentioned earlier, the vassal king is guilty, and unless he commits a serious crime, he will not be punished easily. Naturally, someone has been punished on his behalf.So the prince made a mistake?Naturally, the officials of the Eastern Palace should take over the package.

Yesterday the crown prince was a little late to greet him, but this morning there were officials impeaching him. Seeing the impeachment memorial, Zhu Di immediately approved the word "permitted" without hesitation, and immediately arrested all the officials in the East Palace.Because he had a court meeting in the morning, he brought people here at this time.The two were brought into the hall, and they knelt down to meet them. Ji Gang puffed his chest out, crossed his hands in a salute, and said loudly: "I have ordered you to arrest the officials of the East Palace to see you!"

Zhu Di's face darkened, and he shouted: "Yang Pu, Jin Zhong, I ordered you to assist the prince. You didn't teach the prince the way of governing the country and the latitude, but just to please the prince, blindly flattering and pampering the prince, which made the prince slack off. I came back from Beijing. There was a decree to come to Beijing long ago, the relatives of the emperor, princes and ministers, civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty all arrived, and fifteen foreign envoys were present, but the crown prince came late, the gift of the eldest wife and ministers, you are the crown prince's assistant ministers, you can see sin?"

As soon as Jin Yiwei came to arrest the man, Yang Pu knew that the emperor was going to make a big fuss about welcoming him in the East Palace. He knew that it would be futile to defend himself at this time, but he still had to say what he had to say. Right now, he must do his best to keep the crown prince Well, as long as the crown prince can be kept, they, the officials of the Eastern Palace, will have a chance to see the light of day again. If even the crown prince falls, they will have no chance except dying of old age in prison.

Thinking of this, Yang Pu immediately knelt down, kowtowed and said: "The old minister is guilty, but the prince is not guilty!"

Dear friends, after reading the recommended votes, go away, clean and smooth, long live naked sleep! (to be continued
