Chapter 1650: The prince shows his prestige
Emperor Hongzhi frowned when he saw Zhu Houzhao's appearance.
What an occasion this is? You should wear court uniforms when you enter the court, so how can you wear military uniforms?
Besides, you are the prince and it is not suitable to wear military uniforms.
As Emperor Hongzhi grew older, the prince was growing up and the prince became more and more uneasy about any mistakes in the prince.
But in front of the ministers, Emperor Hongzhi was inconvenient to have an attack and smiled, just pretending that he had not seen it: "Oh, has the prince's illness cured?"
"Father, I'm cured." Zhu Houzhao said: "My son is now energetic, and he is fierce."
Emperor Hongzhi nodded and glanced at Fang Jifan with a meaningful look.
He naturally felt that he had entrusted Fang Jifan with the important task and secretly discussed his abdication with him, but Fang Jifan was not cautious at this critical moment and caused trouble!
Fang Jifan looked smiling: "My son's illness has been cured. My son's illness is so worried. He always thinks that my son's illness cannot share the worries of the king, and he feels very uncomfortable. Fortunately, Xishan Medical College has a wonderful skill and a good move. Otherwise, he is already sick. If he has any illness in his heart, he will be ashamed of the emperor and the court."
At this moment, someone suddenly said, "Why did the prince go to the palace in military uniform? This is a rude!"
After the words came, everyone looked at the source of the sound.
But he is a minister who does not recognize him and should have a lower rank.
There was reprimand in his words.
Zhu Houzhao glanced at him: "Are you a Jiangnan person?"
The man was stunned, licked his lips, and finally nodded: "Yes, I am from Shaoxing."
"Oh." Zhu Houzhao was so happy. He was very interested in people in Jiangnan.
Zhu Houzhao said: "I wear this military uniform to the palace, and it is a perfect match for the people. Lao Fang, you said."
So Fang Jifan shook his head and said, "The Master said: Husband is a boat, and man is water. Water can carry a boat or cover the boat. Although His Royal Highness is the crown prince, he is also a king. He should follow the will of the people. Otherwise, wouldn't he have read the books of these years in vain?"
Seeing Zhu Houzhao becoming more and more distorted, Xie Qian finally couldn't help it.
Although many people have begun to try, they have prepared a lot of reasons to criticize them in this court discussion.
But Xie Qian was anxious and stepped forward and said solemnly: "Your Highness, how can you ask where is the public opinion?"
"This is..." Zhu Houzhao was not like Fang Jifan, and his verbal speech was not very good.
Xie Qian said sternly: "Your Highness, when you talk about the people's hearts, the old minister has some things to ask for advice."
When Xie Qian was in Hongzhi 11th year, he was granted the title of Prince Shaobao. Logically speaking, the Prince Taibao is the official who assisted the Prince, and he is half of the Prince's teacher.
Although this is just a false title, the title is still there.
Therefore, he had a stern face and looked like he wanted to ask for advice, but his qualifications were enough.
Zhu Houzhao said: "What are you asking for advice?"
"What is the public opinion?"
Zhu Hou took a look at Fang Jifan, and Fang Jifan pointed at him, as if encouraging him.
Zhu Houzhao then put his hands behind his back and pretended to be calm: "Okay, then, please let Master Xie talk to me, what is the people's hearts and opinions?"
"Zuo Zhuan said: The six things are different, the people's hearts are not the same, the order of things is not the same, and the official positions are not the same, and the end is different. Hu Ke is always there! His Royal Highness, can you tell what this means?"
Zhu Houzhao blushed and began to think about it.
Xie Qian said seriously: "This means that there are all peoples in the world and the will of all people are not consistent. Therefore, those who govern a great country must be cautious and must not be too rush in everything, because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince takes the hearts of the people and deviates from the will of the people. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ordered some people to benefit and harm some people."
Zhu Houzhao thought about it and felt that this was reasonable.
Xie Qian bowed to Emperor Hongzhi: "Now Your Majesty is moving to the gentry. I know that your Majesty's move is for the tenant farmers and the people. It is understandable that this is done. The prince is responsible for the migration. The people of this gentry have been damaged by the imperial decrees and should be comforted. But I heard that during the migration process, there are some of these. Even the Duke of Qi still said that he would dig the tombs of people."
Fang Jifan blinked, looking innocent, is there any?
Zhu Houzhao's forehead burst out with a blue vein: "The migration matter is of great importance. As long as the court is a little loose, the gentry will be more and more willing to move. Therefore, they can only use force. Otherwise, Master Xie can reason with them and let them migrate obediently?"
"It is wrong to migrate to Luzon." Xie Qian said seriously: "What place is Luzon and how far away from China. So many people who are powerless have crossed the ocean to the wilderness, and they are in trouble and obstacles. Can you tell me?"
Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but look at Xie Qian in a strange way: "Master Xie has not gone to Luzon yet, how could he know that Luzon is in danger?"
Xie Qian couldn't help but go crazy. What is this? This is a quibble. Of course I haven't been there, but it doesn't mean that I have only been there to know how difficult it is!
Of course, Xie Qian is an expert in debate: "Have you been there?"
Zhu Houzhao: "..."
Xie Qian said: "Your Highness has never been there, but I ask me if I have been there. This is a bit unreasonable. Luzon, the land of barbarians outside the country, is well known to everyone. Your Highness...I...ah..."
Xie Qian always gets frowning when arguing with others. Therefore, Xie Qian's face was terrible at this moment, but soon, he realized that he was a minister and couldn't help but sigh and looked at Zhu Houzhao resentfully and said, "There are a large number of relatives in my hometown. I have no complaints about this. But... they are also people of the Ming Dynasty. They are all scholars, but now they are lonely overseas. How desolate. If Your Highness sends people to Luzon now, those who want to return home will be allowed to settle in Jiangnan. As for the land, it's better not to do so. This is what kind of kindness... Old minister... Old minister..."
Speaking of this, it seemed that he thought of the miserable scene of his relatives outside. Xie Qian's eyes were filled with tears: "What is the difference between forcing someone to Luzon like this and exile? What is the crime they have, and how innocent they are."
Many of the officials were moved.
It seemed that she was infected by Xie Qian's words, and many people began to lower their heads to wipe their tears.
How many relatives of people were sent there.
At the beginning, they were all a group of superiors, and in the blink of an eye, they were even worse than prisoners.
It is said that people leave their hometowns and are inferior, so they are not leaving their hometowns, they are exiled to be exiled.
Emperor Hongzhi sat upright, but he did not say anything, but observed Zhu Houzhao very carefully. He wanted to know what the prince would behave when facing the doubts of all officials.
However... Zhu Houzhao's performance just now did not satisfy Emperor Hongzhi.
Because obviously... Xie Qian quoted the scriptures and repeatedly refuted Zhu Houzhao had nothing to say. The move that followed, even Emperor Hongzhi could not help but feel sad.
When Zhu Houzhao heard Xie Qian's relatives, his eyes lit up.
Emperor Hongzhi's heart was shocked when he observed this... This stupid son, he would not...
But when Zhu Houzhao said in surprise, "Does your relatives have someone named Xie Zhiwen? I recognize him!"
The hall suddenly became quiet.
Damn...
When Xie Qian heard this, I recognized him, and his eyes turned dark and he almost fainted.
This cousin, who grew up with him since childhood, has since become an official, but he has managed the Xie family business at home. Although he is a brother and is separated from each other, his brotherly relationship is extraordinary.
My cousin stayed in his hometown all his life, and now he has been forced to move to Luzon. It can be said that... his cousin who does not admire his reputation is almost transparent.
How could His Royal Highness recognize him?
Then... the only possibility is...
His Highness the Crown Prince wants to take revenge on himself with his cousin.
I just want to seek justice and fight for justice.
I never thought that His Royal Highness, the child who watched himself grow up, is so despicable when he grows up.
He had heard countless rumors that the prince and the Duke of Qi wanted to threaten others' family all day long.
When he heard it, he didn't believe it because he knew that the things in this world were true and false, and rumors were spread out, and rumors were inevitably exaggerated.
But now... His Highness... actually...
Xie Qian suddenly became depressed. His face was tragic and his heart was as painful as a knife!
Is this... the nature of the prince?
Zhu Houzhao's face was flushed: "Xie Zhiwen is nineteen years old, but he is Xie Gong's cousin. He is also well written. For some reason, he has not become an official."
Xie Qian's body trembled, and he seemed to be about to be paralyzed.
All the officials immediately looked at me and I looked at you.
Too cruel.
In the court, it turned out to be where the jackals were showing off their evil spirits.
But the prince's face was so ecstatic and joyful, which made people even more creepy.
Scary...so scary.
But I don’t know what happened to Mr. Xie’s cousin?
When Emperor Hongzhi heard this, he was surprised, and then... shock flashed through his eyes.
Could it be...
"Your Highness... Your Highness..." Xie Qian seemed to have collapsed. This had nothing to do with his relatives, but the collapse of his entire values.
He believed that he was an old minister of several dynasties, worked diligently, assisted the Holy Emperor, and worked hard without any contribution. Even if the new policy touched the interests of the Xie family, he was willing to support the new policy, but he did not want to get it...
The current crown prince and the future emperor are so stupid!
"How can Your Highness the Crown Prince be like this? Those who are kings should practice the king's way, so how can they insult and threaten the ministers like this..."
Xie Qian cried bitterly.
Among the ministers, many of them had tears in their eyes.
Emperor Hongzhi's body trembled.
Zhu Houzhao thought for a while before saying, "What are you saying? Why can't I recognize your cousin? He even wrote a letter to me!"
Write...write a letter!
