Chapter 244 If you ground me, I will leave my home!
After sending Gao Wei out, Zhu Yunwen sat on the imperial couch dejectedly, feeling haggard and exhausted.
Zhu Yunwen had always been dissatisfied with many of the policies and practices of the emperor's grandfather. He felt that the emperor's grandfather could use a commoner to fight against the heroes, drive out the Tartars, and establish a great world. This martial arts was certainly not inferior to that of Emperor Qin and Han Gao. However, when it came to
Wenzhi...
His imperial grandfather's reign name was Hongwu. As soon as he ascended the throne, he took the reign name Jianwen. In fact, deep down in his heart, he had a vague feeling of competing with his imperial grandfather. He wanted to build a prosperous age and an empire according to his own wishes. Emperor
My grandfather was a Confucian scholar and a Dharma scholar, but his style was too rigid. He wanted to adhere to clear principles, uphold morality and reward merit, govern the world from the ground up, and build the Ming Dynasty into a royal paradise like that under the ancient wise kings.
However, he now feels more and more powerless. He remembers that when the emperor's grandfather was here, whether it was the Mongolian troops in northern Xinjiang who gathered in an attempt to invade the south, or the various rebellions in Yunnan, one after another, or the power was overwhelming.
When the prime minister of the dynasty deliberately conspired to rebel, his grandfather was always able to direct Command You, and easily turned a big storm that was raging around the world into invisible, lifting the weight with ease, but still having enough energy to spare, and he...
Zhu Yunwen raised his head, looked at the memorial on the table, and shook his head gently.
This is a memorial written by Gao Wei, the judge of the Dudu Mansion. Gao Wei was over seventy years old and had already retired from office. When the yamen paid out his salary this month, Gao Wei went there with his family on a whim and took the opportunity to see the emperor's wife.
There was a new atmosphere in the court after Sun came to power. When the current judge Tie Xuan saw that an old chief of his department had come to receive his salary, he politely invited him in to drink tea and chat.
During the conversation, Gao Wei expressed his views on a series of major events that had taken place in the DPRK recently and aimed at reducing the vassal state. Tie Xuan heard this and thought it was very reasonable. He immediately encouraged the high judge to come forward and remonstrate with the emperor.
The old man was not polite. He probably wanted to use his remaining energy. After returning home, he wrote a memorial seriously and went directly to see the emperor.
Gao Wei said in his memorial: "I, Emperor Gao, have gone up to the throne of the three dynasties, and gone down to wash away the evils of the Qin Dynasty. All the feudal kings, who protect China and live in four generations, are the sons of the saints and the descendants of the saints. Where can I go?
With a strong army, it is easy to cause chaos. Nowadays, all the vassals are arrogant and violate the rules. If they do not cut it, the law will be abolished, and if they cut it, they will hurt the kindness. Jia Yi said: "If you want peace and order in the world, don't build up princes but have less power." I am stupid.
It is said that it is better to follow his intention now and not to use Chao Cuo's strategy of plundering. You can follow the order of Lord Father Yan Tuien, and the princes of the northwest are divided into the southeast, and the princes from the southeast are divided into the northwest. The common land is small, and the city is large.
Divide their territories. In this way, the power of the vassal king will not be weakened..."
What Gao Wei meant was that the vassal king wanted to cut it, but how to cut it had to be done in a method. He thought that extending the favor order was a good way to let the kings allocate the vassal land to his married princes who had children.
If the feudal state continues to be divided, the territory of the vassal state will become smaller and smaller. The descendants of each vassal will gradually become a small vassal with no more than one street and an alley and a hundred households in the gratitude to the emperor.
We can't afford to worry about any storms coming. By then, the vassals will always be weak, the emperor will always be strong, and the country will be forever solid. There is no need to worry about the vassal king becoming powerful and endangering the court. Only by cutting without cutting, can we be wise.
Zhu Yunwen was very dissatisfied, but the old minister was so enthusiastic that he could not dissuade him, so he gave him a seat, watched tea, and praised him casually.
Who knew that this old man retired early? He had been serving Emperor Hongwu before. He didn't know much about the character of Emperor Jianwen. Emperor Hongwu said that one is one and two is two. You are right. He praised you for your talents.
, if what you say is wrong, he can immediately throw the memorial in your face and say that what you said does not make sense.
Zhu Yunwen just said a few polite words to him, but he took it seriously. When he saw that the emperor was so polite and he agreed with his opinions very much, Gao Wei was very happy and talked about the court's current treatment of King Zhou, King Qi, and Dai.
Regarding the king's methods, Gao Wei believes that the reason why Huang Zicheng, Qi Tai and others' methods of dealing with several feudal kings were criticized is because they were eager to cut down the feudal lords, cleverly set up names, and used unscrupulous means.
He suggested that the emperor should strengthen his favor to the vassals. After all, they are all the emperor's biological uncles. There is no big sin. The ceremony of kissing is still necessary. When he is in Fula, he will ask people to ask questions. Sage
Issue an edict to praise and reward the lawless kings. If you offend for the first time, you will be tolerant, and if you offend again, you will be pardoned. If you do not commit the third offense, you will be sued by the Imperial Ancestral Temple and deposed. If you deal with it this way, no one in the world will be dissatisfied, and everyone will praise the emperor's wisdom!
Unexpectedly, these words touched Zhu Yunwen's sore spot, which made Zhu Yunwen's face turn red and white and feel very uncomfortable. He almost thought that Gao Wei had accepted a bribe from the king and deliberately made him look bad, because Gao Wei said this
The suggestion was simply a replica of his answer when Zhu Yuanzhang asked him how he would deal with it when he was worried that the feudal vassals would not accept it.
If Gao Wei had said these words to him a few days earlier, he might not have cared too much, but he had just received a memorial from the king. In the memorial, the king used his words to ridicule his duplicity.
To please the late Emperor, the late Emperor had just gone back on his word and treated his uncle harshly. Now that Gao Wei mentioned these words again, it was like giving him a big slap in the face. Zhu Yunwen felt very unhappy.
It just so happened that Gao Wei was older. Older people like to talk over and over again, chattering and chattering. Zhu Yunwen pretended to be asking for advice in an open-minded manner at first, but gradually his temper finally grew.
In the end, I couldn't bear it anymore and finally got angry.
Gao Wei had good intentions, but he was so embarrassed that he had to run away in disgrace. Zhu Yunwen sat there and became more and more angry as he thought about it: "How come no one understands all my hard work? I just want to help myself."
With my hands, I can eliminate future troubles forever and protect our Ming Dynasty for thousands of generations. It will never be easy..."
When Zhu Yunwen was feeling sorry for himself and lamenting that there were not many good friends in the world, he heard Xiao Linzi, the eunuch waiting outside the door, said urgently: "No, no, no, princess, please don't let your slaves be in trouble. The emperor is in anger, and the princess can't see you."
ah."
"If the emperor is angry every day, then he will not go to court every day? You go in to report. If you don't go, then get out of the way!"
"Princess, you can't! Oh, little princess, what are you doing by kicking this slave? This is also your duty. I don't dare to disturb the emperor!"
Zhu Yunwen frowned and became angry again. The young man's temperament was not so calm to begin with, and everything always went wrong. Zhu Yunwen found that his anger was becoming more and more likely to flare up recently.
"Get out of the way!"
"Ouch!"
There was a sound of "pop" falling to the ground, and then the little princess Xu Ming'er held Princess Baoqing's hand, her almond-shaped eyes widened, and walked in angrily, her petite chest rising and falling, as if she was suppressing
anger.
Zhu Yunwen said solemnly: "Xu Miaojin, you are too presumptuous. Who allowed you to break into the palace without my permission?"
When Princess Baoqing heard this, she quickly ran behind Xu Ming'er and timidly called out: "Baoqing has seen the emperor."
Although she is young, she also knows who is good to her and who is not good to her. In the past, this nephew, who was much older than her, was very polite to her. When he saw her, he would definitely salute her respectfully, but now...
..., she was a little afraid of this young emperor.
Only then did Xu Ming'er realize that the emperor in front of her was not the old man who seemed stern but was extremely kind to her. This emperor attached great importance to the etiquette of monarchs and ministers, so she endured her anger and bowed to greet him: "Xu Miaojin has met the emperor."
Zhu Yunwen snorted and said, "You are a prostitute and you barge into the palace to meet a charioteer. What's the matter with you?"
Xu Ming'er straightened up and said, "I'm calling out for my second sister and my second brother-in-law!"
Zhu Yunwen's face turned gloomy: "The acting king Zhu Gui is good at serving the army and the people and amassing property. How can he be unjust?"
Xu Ming'er still has some research on "Da Gao", otherwise she wouldn't have given advice to her third brother behind the screen of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion last time. When she heard this, she immediately grabbed Zhu Yunwen's accusation.
, asked back: "I would like to ask your Majesty, does the crime of acting as a king be equivalent to depriving one of your titles, seizing an heir, and demoting him to a commoner?"
Zhu Yunwen was angry again when he heard this. Zhu Yunwen's face was a little sour. It didn't show up before because he had Zhu Yuanzhang above him. Zhu Yuanzhang himself could not embarrass his grandson too much. Besides, Zhu Yunwen was taught Confucian ethics.
Zhu Yuanzhang was not only his grandfather, but also his emperor. Even if he said some harsh words, he would accept it as a matter of course. Now that he is the emperor, he cannot stand the questioning and provocation of others.
Zhu Yunwen was furious, pointed at her and said: "When will it be the turn of you, a female prostitute, to comment on the important matters of the imperial court? What's the matter with your brother? Doesn't he always discipline you?"
Xu Ming'er was not as tall as Zhu Yunwen, but when Zhu Yunwen scolded her, she did not take a step back. She only slightly raised her smart eyebrows, looked at the emperor with a pair of clear black and white eyes, and said softly: "Wang Gu, let's talk about him."
?”
There was no sarcasm in the expression of this eleven-year-old girl, and she even had a sense of innocence. But this gentle word, to the point, made Zhu Yunwen feel more nakedly humiliated than any harsh insult.
: "Are you tired of reasoning?"
Zhu Yun raised his palms hoarsely, and Xu Ming'er raised her bruised face without flinching. Zhu Yun gasped for a few breaths, and said angrily: "Drag her out, drag her out, drag her out.
Xu Huizu sent it to me! Send the Duke of Wei to the palace!"
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
"As the eldest brother, how do you discipline your sister? As the Duke of the country, how do you discipline your family? Do you have a tutor in the Xu family? Are there any rules? Do you still understand the laws of the country!"
Zhu Yunwen said something and slapped the table, his palms turned red, but he didn't notice it at all.
Xu Huizu knelt under the Danqi, sweating like rain.
How could Duke Xu Huizu of Wei not see that the emperor wanted to cut down the feudal vassal? The three daughters of the Xu family were all the royal concubines of the feudal king, and their husbands were among those who wanted to cut down the vassalage, so the Zhongshan Palace was in a dilemma. Xu Huizu was the eldest son of Xu, and inherited the throne.
My father is loyal and honest. From the bottom of his heart, he is loyal to the court and loyal to the king. He will unconditionally obey any decision of the emperor.
But this time, the imperial court wanted to cut down the vassalage, and three of his brothers-in-law were among those to be cut off. Especially the King of Yan, who was the target that the court wanted to remove. How dare the emperor give him important responsibilities and trust? Therefore, he used to be a military official in the court.
The leader of the class has always been the most valued by the imperial court. Now he is on the fringes of the political power. It is not good to approach him actively, let alone without any indication. As the head of the Zhongshan Palace, Xu Huizu is under great pressure.
But at this time, the little girl who didn't know the importance came to anger the emperor again. If the emperor thought that the little sister's opinions on the king and the reduction of the vassal were the unanimous opinions of my Xu family, then wouldn't my Xu family...?
At this point, Xu Huizu felt chills run through his bones. He was really worried and didn't know what kind of punishment he would receive.
When Zhu Yunwen saw Xu Huizu sweating like rain, he just kowtowed and apologized, and his anger gradually subsided.
The Xu family is the most famous family in the Ming Dynasty, and its influence is deeply entangled both in the court and the military. If the court wants to reduce vassal vassals and implement the Jianwen New Deal, the support of the Xu family is indispensable. At least the Xu family cannot be held back.
Xu Huizu was quite well-behaved. He had never had any objections to the imperial court's reduction of vassal status, and he had always expressed his support. There was no need to embarrass him too much because of a wild girl who didn't know the importance of it.
Thinking of this, Zhu Yun breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Get up! Xu Miaojin is a daughter's family after all, and I don't want to be too harsh. After you return to the house, confine her to the house and discipline her strictly. Before leaving the cabinet, she will not be allowed to leave Zhongshan again.
Half a step away from the palace!"
"My lord, I obey the order!"
Xu Huizu kowtowed with a trembling voice, feeling that cold sweat had soaked his clothes.
In the Prince's Mansion of Zhongshan, Xu Zengshou sat upside down on a chair and said to Xu Ming'er: "Is this what you told the emperor?"
Xu Ming'er said unconvinced: "Yes, he is allowed to do it, but I am not allowed to say it?"
Xu Zengshou raised his thumb and praised with a smile: "As expected of our Xu family, sister, you are awesome, my third brother admires you!"
Xu Ming'er and Xiaoyao turned up their noses and snorted.
Xu Zengshou said angrily: "Third brother is also troubled. The world has just been handed over to the emperor, and everything is peaceful. Isn't it good? It will cause a bloody storm. Needless to say, the second brother-in-law, although his Majesty is
There is something wrong with that, but he is also a good hand in guarding the border and fighting. Besides, the eldest brother-in-law has served the imperial court many times in battles. What wrong things have he done? Look at the imperial court pressing forward step by step. It is obvious that... I feel unconvinced.
ah!"
Xu Ming'er said in surprise: "What, the emperor still wants to deal with the eldest brother-in-law?"
Xu Zengshou regretted his mistake. This girl was young and didn't know the importance of it. She really shouldn't have said these words to her. He coughed and covered it up: "Well... I'm just guessing, and I may not be..."
Xu Ming'er said angrily: "Third brother, the emperor has done something wrong. As a minister, you should remonstrate. Why can't you speak out and impartially?"
Xu Zengshou sighed and said helplessly: "Sister, the emperor is going to cut down the vassal. Your three sisters are all vassal kings and princesses. Can the emperor not suspect that our Xu family is helping other vassals? We, the Xu family, don't say anything.
You have attracted the Emperor's suspicion, what more can you say? This is you, a daughter's family, to put it lightly is too harsh, the Emperor should not pursue it too closely, if it was your third brother who came to the Emperor and said this..."
He gestured with his hands around his neck and lowered his voice: "That's the crime of decapitation!"
When Xu Ming'er heard this, she worriedly said: "Then... the eldest brother was summoned by the emperor, he won't... do anything to the eldest brother, right?"
Xu Zengshou said: "That's not possible. I guess it's enough to curse him and vent his anger. The emperor is cutting off the vassals. If we suddenly cut off the first Duke of the Ming Dynasty at this time, it would be very lively. Not only the vassals
Uneasy, I am afraid that all the princes, princes and ministers will be uneasy. The emperor may not dare to cause such a situation, unless... he is crazy!"
Just as I said this, someone in the distance shouted: "The Duke is returning home~~~"
Xu Zengshou jumped up and said to Xu Ming'er: "Hurry up, you hide first, I will check the tone of eldest brother, lest he get angry and use the family law to punish you."
"good!"
Xu Ming'er ran away in a flash, and Xu Huizu walked into the hall angrily. When he saw his third brother sitting there with his legs crossed and drinking tea, he shouted: "Where is the little sister? Where has the little sister gone?"
Xu Zengshou put down his tea cup and said, "Brother, what's going on? My younger sister came back very angry, and then she said she was going to Mochou Lake to relax. After she left, who provoked you?"
"Does she still have time to go swimming in the lake?"
Xu Huizu stamped his feet angrily and said: "She even dares to scold the emperor, so what trouble can she dare not cause? The emperor has issued an order to confine her to the palace. Until she gets married, she will never leave the palace again!"
He wandered around the hall twice like a trapped animal, then sat down and said: "Alas! We, the daughter of the Xu family, can no longer marry the royal family. The royal family is sinister, a hundred times worse than the common people, and it can easily lead to loss of head."
Ah. Our Xu family is already a highly respected minister, so there is no need to add icing on the cake. Go and capture her immediately, keep her in the house and keep a close eye on her. In a few years, find her an ordinary family who is innocent of her duties.
It’s a problem if you get married.”
Xu Ming'er was lying behind the screen. When she heard that she would be put under house arrest in the house and not allowed to leave the house, she couldn't help but be shocked and angry. She rolled her eyes and suddenly turned around and left, like a civet cat, turning left and right, and in a moment she was gone.
He walked away without a trace of anyone.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
Xia Xun went on the road happily alone.
Everything at home was well arranged, and he believed that Xie Xie's alertness and wisdom would be enough to protect his family's safety. Without worries, Xia Xun felt relaxed.
I still remember that when he left Huzhou and went north, he was going to join the King of Yan. Unexpectedly, the world would reincarnate, and a few years later, he would still embark on this road.
In order for him to successfully gain the trust of King Yan, Luo Qianshi made a lot of preparations. He even reluctantly prepared a surrender letter for him and handed him a secret spy lurking in Peiping. He could sacrifice this person if necessary.
He seeks to gain the trust of King Yan, but how does Lord Luo know his true plan?
He is going to follow his own plan. Since he can't stay out of the matter, he must not stand on the wrong team at this critical moment. How can we know the future of this world and the country picture without the many touches of grace that I, Xia Xun, have painted?
The carp takes off the golden hook and goes away, shaking its head and tail and never coming back again!
Xia Xun smiled slightly.
Xu Ming'er wanted to cry. Standing in the bustling market of Yangzhou Prefecture, she was hungry and suddenly realized that she had no money with her. She had never brought any money with her before when she went out, and she walked in a hurry when she went home.
Where can I remember it?
Looking at the steamed buns and baked cakes on the stall in front of her, Xu Ming'er swallowed quietly and thought timidly: "If I eat for free, they will definitely not do it. I am not a relative of their family, who wants to take care of it for free?"
Rice…”
