high official

Chapter 1095 Feng Gong
In front of Fengtian Gate, Jin Chun continued to read the imperial edict.No one expected that there would be so many contents in the new emperor's enthronement edict, prohibiting purchases from all over the world, abandoning pretensions everywhere, not following the court's express words, and not allowing the military and civilians to be disturbed in the slightest!
In the imperial edict, it is also proposed to gradually abolish the banknote law, and the court is not allowed to issue new banknotes.The common people's corvee was reduced and exempted, and the prisoners who were sent to the army to do coolies were sent back to their original places to serve the people.Wait, wait, etc., there are dozens of articles, pointing directly at the various shortcomings of the court. It is not His Royal Highness who has supervised the country for 20 years and has a clear view of the ruling and opposition parties.

All the officials understood that this was clearly His Royal Highness's policy agenda, and every single one of them would cause drastic changes in the court. Obviously, life in the future would not be easy.They could no longer write down the items one by one, so they could only continue to listen in a dizzy state until they heard Jin Chunnian say: "From now on, all arrests of prisoners will be made in accordance with the "Law of the Ming Dynasty", and the factory guards are not allowed to interfere with the judiciary."

All the officials looked at Wang Xian in unison, thinking that this is to abolish the factory guard!I saw that Wang Xianru was in meditation as an old monk, and there was no slight fluctuation.

Jin Chun paused for a while, not knowing whether he was tired or the next one was hard to come by, swallowed and then read in a trembling voice: "In the Jianwen period, those who were fined and confiscated as slaves because of Jing Nan will be pardoned and given to the people. Land, let them live and work in peace..."

'boom! ’ Now the officials couldn’t bear it anymore, and there was a burst of buzzing, this is to rehabilitate the remnants of Jianwen!And without discussing with anyone, it was announced directly in the enthronement edict!How can this embarrass the civil and military officials? !You must know that, except for a few people, the princes and earls and ministers who are present today are all upstarts who followed Zhu Dijing's disaster. To rehabilitate the remnants of Jianwen, isn't it denying the first emperor and them?How embarrassing does this make them feel, how do they deal with themselves? !
Many high-ranking officials and dignitaries moved their lips and wanted to speak out against it, but this was reading the succession edict. If they objected, wouldn't they be directly hostile to the new king?

Seeing the commotion in the arena, Jin Chun hurriedly continued to read: "Yuxi! The monarch and the people are one, the lover must be magnanimous, the rewards and punishments must be scriptures, and the country must be manifested in Mingxin. I appreciate the encouragement of civil and military virtuous ministers at home and abroad. I admire this! "

Jin Chun finally finished reading the imperial edict, and there was a dead silence in the arena. After a long time, all the officials realized that it was time to shout long live, but the sparse long live voices were so scattered and uneven, which had never been seen before!

In the following ceremony, everyone was immersed in shock, mechanically following the orders of Honglu Temple officials like puppets, until the end of the ceremony, everyone was still unable to calm down.

.

The new monarch is for the province and the state. After the ceremony, no banquet was given, and the officials withdrew from the Meridian Gate one by one.Once out of the Meridian Gate, the pot exploded immediately. The officials surrounded their respective leaders, and the princes surrounded Zhu Zhanji, shouting emotionally one by one: "The emperor is going to change the sky! If you really want to carry it out like this!" , is the next step going to punish us for the crime of rebellion?!"

Zhu Zhanji's face was also livid. When it comes to anger, he is the most annoying one. The succession edict has said so much, but there is no word to make him the prince, which makes him confused. What kind of highness is he now? !

It was Jian Yi and other veterans who reassured the crowd and said: "Everyone, today is the day of the emperor's ascension to the throne. If there is anything to do, let's talk about it in another day. You must not add trouble to the emperor today!"

"Another day, is there still time?" The officials said angrily.

"It's too late. The articles read out today are very rough and need to be refined before we can ask for the decree to be promulgated." Jian Yi said: "If you have any opinions, you can put them forward at that time. The emperor is as good as he is, and he will be able to choose and change it." "In fact, Jian Yi is also very clear that the emperor did not discuss with anyone, because he did not want anyone to object, and directly announced it in the succession edict to create a fait accompli!

But if you don't say that now, should you let the officials immediately go to the emperor to remonstrate?

The officials also knew that today was indeed not a day for opposition, so they had to suppress their anger and dispersed in small groups.As for how to gather people to discuss secretly after returning, it is not enough for outsiders to explain.

However, Wang Xian was not with the officials. As soon as the ceremony was over, he was stopped by the eunuch, saying that the emperor had summoned him.I could only follow the eunuch to Qianqing Palace to meet the new king.

.

In the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Gaochi changed into his regular clothes, and his face was not full of joy, but full of worries.Naturally, he was very clear about the turmoil that would be caused if his decree was promulgated. If he did not take advantage of the great opportunity of the enthronement edict, he would inevitably encounter countless opposition and delays. I am afraid that he would not be able to promulgate all these decrees in ten years.

But in this way, there will inevitably be a total outbreak of civil and military officials. The determination to break the boat is one thing, but the overwhelming pressure is another...

"Your Majesty, Marquis Le An is here." The eunuch came in and reported softly.

"Oh, hurry up, please." Zhu Gaochi cheered up and looked eagerly at Wang Xian who came in from outside.

"I pay homage to the emperor." Wang Xian kowtowed.

"Hurry up and get rid of the courtesy," Zhu Gaochi said in a deep voice: "From now on, I don't want you to bow down and give me a seat quickly."

The eunuch brought Wang Xian a seat, and Wang Xian sat down in Xie En.

Zhu Gaochi looked at Wang Xian, and said slowly: "You know why I came to you."

"I know." Wang Xian nodded.

"Now tell me that you have changed your mind." Zhu Gaochi looked at Wang Xian enthusiastically, fearing that he would give an answer that would disappoint him, and then laughed at himself: "You have also seen that at the enthronement ceremony, I have put all my eggs in one basket. If you are here, I will be eaten alive by those angry old ministers."

Wang Xian hesitated for a moment, but shook his head resolutely, and said in a low voice: "The mission of the minister has ended, and Yang Rong, Yang Shiqi, and Yang Pu will definitely be able to take care of your majesty's affairs. If Chen Qiang stays in Beijing, it will only be a disservice .”

Zhu Gaochi understands Wang Xian's concerns, and now the government and the public, the noble generals who make good friends with Wang Xian, and what he wants to move are mostly the interests of these people.The civil official group that I mainly rely on is full of hostility towards Wang Xian. It is really difficult for Wang Xian to be caught in the middle...

Although he knew it in his heart, Zhu Gaochi's eyes still showed a strong look of disappointment. After a while, he calmed down and asked, "Where do you want to go? Nanjing or Shandong?"

"Go back to my hometown in Fuyang." Wang Xian said softly, "Since we have retired, we will all retire, and go back to our hometown to spend a few days in the countryside with our parents, wife and children..."

"That won't work," the emperor firmly disagreed, "You can't retreat completely. After a few years, the world will be turned upside down, and when you go out again, you may not be able to do what you want." Letting Nanshan go, but putting your peerless sword into a box to warm it up, the purpose is to restore your edge and make you better than before! It's not to abolish your peerless sword..."

"..." Wang Xian was silent. He knew that the crown prince was telling the truth. Returning to Fuyang was equivalent to quitting the political arena. devastating.

"How about this, isn't your family in Jinan? I will make the decision for you, so you can go to Shandong!" Seeing that Wang Xian finally loosened, a relieved smile appeared on Zhu Gaochi's face, and said: "I named you Duke of Zhen, The governor of Shandong can control the military and government of the whole province, so he can act cheaply. How about it?"

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this will attract more hatred..." Wang Xian shook his head with a wry smile.

"Why are you such a mother-in-law? Do you think that I am a duplicity?!" Zhu Gaochi waved his hand and scolded with a smile: "This is not the Wang Xian I know! If you refuse to accept it, then don't leave Beijing and stay by my side Better!" He said with a long sigh: "At a critical moment, I need your help!"

"Hey, the minister obeys the decree..." The emperor said so, and Wang Xian could only accept it with a sigh.

"In addition, you take the official seal of the governor of Jinyiwei to Shandong." Zhu Gaochi said again.

"Isn't that appropriate?" Wang Xian asked in surprise.

"As announced in the decree, I have made up my mind to take advantage of Dongchang's participation in the rebellion and abolish this secret service agency!" Zhu Gaochi said in a deep voice, "Even your Jinyiwei will abolish the Beizhen governor and strip away the detectives." The function of torture is to return the power of judicial enforcement to the Three Law Departments." He looked at Wang Xian and said, "Those officers and soldiers of the Jinyiwei fought with you, you have to give them an account."

"Yes." Wang Xian nodded, suppressing the astonishment in his heart. Zhu Gaochi's hatred of spies has been around for a long time, and he didn't expect to abolish the factory guard as soon as he was about to come up.We can see that in the next few days, Zhu Gaochi, who has been holding back for 20 years, will definitely have countless big moves waiting for him!

Obviously, the prince's statement that he needs himself is not false.Because it is easy to be a quiet and inactive emperor, but it is very difficult to be a new emperor!Especially when the interests of the princes and nobles are to be touched, fierce counterattacks will definitely be incurred. How can we do without the magic weapon to suppress luck?
"Zhongde, I planned to discuss this matter with you," Zhu Gaochi saw that Wang Xian had been silent for a long time, thinking that he was in conflict, and hurriedly explained: "It is you who want to leave, so I have to explain to you first."

"Your Majesty is worrying too much. Emperor Taizu abolished Jinyiwei because he saw the factory guards' spies destroying the court. How could I not support it?" Wang Xian said softly: "It's just that the factory guards are bad, but they are the emperor's minions. Your Majesty You need to think twice before you act. I am afraid it will be inconvenient to cut off your minions before doing big things."

"I know," Zhu Gaochi nodded, and said sternly, "But I can't use the former emperor's method to achieve my goal, I have my own way!"

"Since your majesty has a plan in mind, then you are worrying too much for your minister." Wang Xian stopped bothering.

Zhu Gaochi stayed with Wang Xian for another meal before letting him go back.In the afternoon of the same day, a decree came to his house to make him the Duke of the Town, and to give him an iron certificate of the book of pills, which will be hereditary.At the same time, there was a decree to appoint Wang Xian as the governor of Shandong and Liaodong military affairs minister, stationed in Ji'nan, and also in charge of government affairs, money and food matters in Shandong, Huaihe River and Huaihe River, governor of shipping affairs, and also the governor of Jinyiwei.

It was expected that Wang Xian was made a duke, and the officials were not too surprised.But it was really surprising that the emperor would send Wang Xian out of the capital at this time.People from all walks of life speculated whether this meant that the emperor wanted to draw a clear line with Wang Xian.Everyone knows that no amount of rewards or titles are useless without the Holy Family!

As a result, no one raised any objections to the emperor's endowment of Wang Xian's enormous power...
