Chapter 215: The Resolute Zhu Yuanzhang(1/2)
Zhu Yuanzhang was very clear about the palace's speculations about his eldest grandson.
Now through the mouths of many members of the royal family, the situation of the eldest grandson in the palace has become an open secret.
But many ministers did not understand Zhu Ying.
Can the palace controlled by Zhu Yuanzhang make his ministers worry?
Take care of your own life, and don't inquire about the affairs of the palace.
As ministers who usually leave suicide notes to the court, they avoid some royal secrets for fear of accidentally getting involved.
Where do you dare to inquire?
Those who can stay in the Huagai Palace to discuss state affairs with Zhu Yuanzhang are undoubtedly the civil servants of the entire Ming Dynasty.
The matters they discussed directly affected the entire Ming Dynasty.
It may be that just one incident affects the livelihood of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people.
Outside the door, Zhu Ying followed Liu He in after receiving the notice.
In fact, the old man had told him before that no matter where the palace was, he could come and go freely.
Even in the early morning, there was no problem.
When Jiang Yu came here, he saw him and didn't stop him.
It was Zhu Ying himself who proposed to let the eunuch go in and report the matter.
In Zhu Ying's opinion, this is politeness and a rule.
The old man's doting on him is not the capital of his arrogance.
In the Huagai Palace, before Zhu Ying entered the door, Liu He loudly announced: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty Changsun is here."
"Great grandson, come over here quickly." Zhu Yuanzhang saw Zhu Ying and said with a smile.
As soon as this statement came out, the ministers who were whispering among each other suddenly fell silent.
Most of the ministers had very surprised and speculative looks in their eyes.
After all, these ministers spend more time in the palace every day, and some ministers sometimes go to the palace academy to teach.
Those who can become ministers are all great men with literary attainments as high as Mount Tai and Beidou. Teaching is very easy for them, and they even have many disciples themselves.
Moreover, these ministers often meet with His Highness the Crown Prince.
Almost at the same moment when they saw Zhu Ying's appearance, the ministers were stunned.
Even a dog wouldn't believe it if he said that the young His Highness the Grandson had no relationship with His Highness the Crown Prince.
It can't be said to be exactly the same, it can only be exactly the same.
This temperament and appearance are simply amazing.
If it weren't for his overly youthful appearance, the titles of eldest grandson and prince, if His Majesty said that the prince was resurrected, they would all think it was true.
The impact brought about by this kind of thing makes me really worried that some elderly people will suffer from myocardial infarction.
However, those who were able to become the top civil servants of the Ming Dynasty were those who last reached the level of old foxes during the Hongwu period.
When it comes to Mingzhe's self-protection, his proficiency is maxed out.
The ones that are not full are basically buried in the ground.
The only one who looked strange but not shocked was the Minister of War, Ru Ru.
There was emotion in Ru Yu's eyes.
As early as when Zhu Ying persuaded him to support the expedition against Japan, Ru Jin knew that such a day would come.
Since that meeting, Ru Jin has never mentioned any issues about Zhu Ying to anyone.
Even everything that happened on that day was kept strictly confidential.
The emperor's eldest grandson, who had been missing for ten years and then suddenly appeared, involved possibilities that he could not participate in at all.
Not just him, no one can or dares to participate.
Only Your Majesty can do all this.
"Meet His Highness Changsun."
Just when many ministers were confused, Ru Jin stood up and bowed to Zhu Ying.
Then other ministers reacted immediately.
This is not the time for guessing riddles. I didn’t see that His Majesty has already called me Dasun.
No matter who he is, you can't go wrong by paying your respects first and then talking about it.
"Meet His Highness Changsun."
Many ministers stood up and paid homage to Zhu Ying together.
Zhu Yuanzhang on the dragon chair gently stroked his beard and smiled.
Zhu Ying's expression didn't change much, and she said: "Get up."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
The reactions of many ministers can fully explain Zhu Yuanzhang's current prestige.
If this were changed to the middle and late Ming Dynasty.
hehe,
The spittle spewed out by the civil servants could almost drown the emperor.
I'm sure there will be officials and censors who will threaten me with death.
Of course it's not death, it's just to scare the emperor and clear his name.
This method was not pioneered by the Ming Dynasty. There were many in the Tang and Song Dynasties, and the results were good.
However, in today's Ming Dynasty, no one dares to imitate their ancestors. It is estimated that if they cannot clear their name, they will only be called a fool.
Putting aside the interests of family and country, who is not greedy for life and afraid of death?
Scholars really like to read. To put it bluntly, it is for the golden house in the book, Yan Ruyu.
"Dasun came to see us this time, but there is something urgent."
Zhu Yuanzhang ignored the ministers and didn't even introduce him. He directly asked Da Sun who was sitting next to him.
Many ministers seemed to have their heads lowered, but in fact their ears were erect, even taller than rabbits.
I listened wholeheartedly to the conversation between His Majesty and His Highness.
After His Majesty spoke, he even held his breath, just to hear more clearly. He was really not afraid of suffocating himself to death.
"Grandpa, my grandson just reviewed the memorials about the plague in Henan and discovered a very serious problem."
"It's very likely that it's the Black Death that came from Europe."
Zhu Ying heard this and said in a deep voice with an extremely solemn tone.
The reason why I used people infected by the Black Death to explain is actually to tell the old man more clearly the seriousness of the matter.
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he frowned slightly and said, "Black Death?"
Regarding this disease, this was the first time Zhu Yuanzhang heard about it. It is now called Europa, which is what the Ming Dynasty calls Europe today.
However, because the geographical difference is too far, Zhu Yuanzhang can only know about Europa, and the specifics will not have any impact.
Zhu Ying explained: "The Black Death is the name on the other side of Europe, but it's called the plague here. Grandpa may not know how much impact the plague has had on Europe."
"According to the information obtained by my grandson, the entire Europe can be described as having ten rooms and nine empty rooms. The approximate death toll is close to 30 million people."
"What! Thirty million people! Is Da Sun right?"
Zhu Yuanzhang exclaimed, stood up directly, and asked in disbelief.
Thirty million people are equivalent to more than half of the entire Ming Dynasty population.
This is far more terrifying than any dynasty change.
At this time, in the Huagai Hall, there was even more gasps of air, and even several elderly ministers began to tremble.
Their first reaction when they heard this was to not believe it.
This number is simply too exaggerated.
In the history of China, there have never been such exaggerated figures.
Although many ministers are not very clear about the situation in Europa, 30 million is a bit too scary.
But for this stranger, His Highness the Changsun.
Many ministers did not believe it in their hearts, but their reason told them that it might be true.
This is the majesty of Zhu Yuanzhang.
Just like visiting the shrine without hesitation before, it was not because of Zhu Ying's appearance, but entirely due to Zhu Yuanzhang's influence.
