Zhu Di returned to the palace happily, where Xie Jin was waiting for him.
In addition to collecting some memorials related to the national economy and people's livelihood in the past few days, Xie Jin focused on sending them to the emperor. He also collected Zhu Gaoxu's illegal affairs from everywhere. Today he is here to make a small report on Zhu Gaoxu.[..com]
Xie Jin knew that Zhu Di left the palace incognito today to watch Zhu Gaoxu's martial arts performance. He also asked clearly that it was only after Ji Gang mentioned it that he aroused the emperor's interest. Xie Jin naturally thought that Ji Gang was pulling Zhu Gaoxu's back. Originally,
, Although Xie Jin and other civil servants did not get along with Ji Gang, they were all of the prince's party after all. Ji Gang had stabbed the King of Han hard in the back. If the King of Han came to power, he would definitely not suffer from him.
In the officialdom, if you rebel once, you have lost the word "trust". If you are capricious, there will be no place for you in any camp. How could Ji Gang help Zhu Gaoxu? He never thought that Ji Gang would
"Raise the bandits to respect themselves," first solve the predicament in front of him. With this misjudgment, Xie Jin wanted to strike while the iron was hot and give the King of Han some eye drops.
When Zhu Di asked him why he came, Xie Jin said: "Your Majesty, the King of Han was granted the title of King Di, but he did not leave the vassal state for a long time and stayed in the capital. This is really inconsistent with the ancestral system. That's all. Returning from the north, the King of Han relied on his military exploits.
Zhongjie led a group of military guards through the city, and his etiquette standards for daily expenses were the same as those of the crown prince, or even worse." Zhu Di had just gone to Longjiang Station and was delighted with Zhu Gaoxu's bravery.
At these words, Xie Jin's face immediately darkened. He saw that his face was a little unhappy, and he knew that the emperor was not very happy. But... of course he was not happy when he said bad things about his son in front of me, and Jie Jin didn't think much about it.
He continued: "I also heard that the King of Han was in the army and called himself General Tiance, and the officers and soldiers in the army also used this compliment.
Your Majesty, the King of Han is the King of Han. This is a title conferred by the court. His Highness, the King of Han, has never been awarded the title of General of Heavenly Ce. If he prides himself on this, wouldn’t he mess up the rules of the court? The superior and the inferior are superior and inferior. This is the basis for maintaining the laws of the court.
"The king of Han's etiquette standards are even worse than those of the prince. So who is the king and who is the minister? The king is humble and the ministers are arrogant, which is the source of disaster."
Xie Jin kept nagging, but Zhu Di was already displeased and asked in a deep voice, "Is this what the prince meant?"
Xie Jin hurriedly said: "This is what I mean. I have never heard anything the prince said and I have never had any contact with the prince!"
Zhu Di snorted and said with an angry look on his face: "High-spirited and high-spirited, brothers and sisters respect each other, and brotherhood is deep. The prince has no objection to this, why should the bachelor say more? When Taizu was still alive, Fang Xiaoru, the one who hated the emperor's relatives the most, Qi
Tai, Huang Zicheng and his like are slandering and slandering for their own benefit, and are instigating the disintegration of the clan, so that peace will be difficult. Do you dare not to learn from the past?"
Xie Jin hit a hard target and explained with a straight face: "The emperor's ministers are half-hearted, how can they have any evil thoughts? It's just that the prince is the crown prince of the country. To maintain the dignity of the crown prince, it is forbidden for the subordinates to rise above the superiors. This is...
"
Zhu Di flicked his sleeves and said calmly: "No need to say any more, stand down!"
"yes!"
Xie Jin had no choice but to look up quietly and saw that the emperor's face was full of gloom. He was very impatient and had no choice but to bow and retreat.
Zhu Di looked at the direction in which he disappeared and said in a deep voice: "The great gentry presides over the cabinet, as if he is the prime minister of the country. It has been a long time, and he has become a little forgetful!" At this time, Saiyi, the Minister of Civil Affairs, came again, and Zhu Di asked angrily: "What's the matter?
?" Saiyi was startled. Seeing the emperor's displeasure, he did not dare to ask more questions and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the edict you want me to draft has been prepared. Please review it."...
Zhu Diyu was furious and took over the imperial edict from Sai Yi. As usual, he talked eloquently and talked a lot at the beginning. The actual content was only one sentence: to raise the cabinet bachelor from the fifth rank to the second rank.
.
Since its establishment, the cabinet has gradually played a role and become a power organization superior to the six ministries. However, because the cabinet during the Zhu Yuanzhang period was only equivalent to a team of secretaries of the emperor, the initial grade assigned to the cabinet academicians was positive five.
Taste.
Now this rank is too disproportionate to their power. Limiting their rank to the fifth rank is in vain. It cannot change the fact that they are higher than the sixth rank. It is also unfair to the cabinet elders. Therefore, Zhu Di deliberately changed the rank of the Cabinet Grand Scholar.
Bring it up and make sure it lives up to its name.
Zhu Di quickly read through the falsehoods. When he saw the last names, they were the names of the seven pavilion elders. Zhu Di pondered for a moment, picked up the ink pen, and crossed out Xie Jin's name angrily from the top, thinking to himself.
"The emperor thought that he was young and arrogant, and he was arrogant, so he asked him to go home for ten years to work hard. Now it seems that is not enough. He must be taught a lesson!" Sai Yi took the imperial edict and hurriedly scanned it.
The name of the cabinet's chief minister, Xie Jin, was only crossed out from the name of the cabinet's bachelor. He couldn't help but be confused: "What does this mean? All the bachelors were promoted to the second rank, and only the chief assistant was left in the fifth rank. Could it be that the cabinet's chief minister Xie Jin
Is the position of chief minister unstable?" Sai Yi was thinking wildly, but Zhu Di already said: "According to this, let's issue the imperial edict!"

Zi Qi came back from visiting Qixia Mountain with several powerful officials and nobles, and immediately asked: "Where is the master?" The maid took off her cloak and said with a smile! "The master is taking the young lady and the young master to fish for toads in the back garden.
.
Zi Qi couldn't help laughing and said: "Look at what he is leading the child to play with!"
As soon as his feet turned, Zi Qi turned back to the garden.
"mother!"
As soon as Siqi saw his mother coming, he immediately dropped his fishing rod and rushed towards her. Yang Huaiyuan liked his aunt very much because he could fly up and down. His own mother couldn't fly. When he saw Aunt Qi coming, he wanted to be hugged by her.
He looked at him again and again, but Qiaoyun grabbed him and wiped his nose with a handkerchief, which made Young Master Yang very impatient.
Xia Xun turned around to see her coming, smiled and patted the smooth stone beside him, saying: "Ziqi is back, sit down! How are you playing?"
Siqi sat down next to him with his daughter in his arms, and said: "I see the red leaves in Qixia every year. If I see them too much, they will just look like that. What's so good about it? When I'm with those ladies, the Zhang family and the Li family are short, and there's nothing to talk about."
It’s just boring gossip, it’s boring!”
Xia Xun laughed after hearing this, and Si Qi lowered his voice and said: "I met Mrs. Xi Si today. She said that the leaders of the Xuanwei Division in Sizhou and Sinan killed each other due to vendetta, and Guizhou was in chaos. Governor Xue has already
We reported this matter to the Star immediately. We just arrived at the General Affairs Department today and it will be on the Emperor’s desk tomorrow morning!”
Xia Xun nodded lightly and sighed slightly: "When you don't pay attention, you don't know that the country needs to be consolidated. There are too many places to improve. I can't even finish the meal in my own bowl. I'm still thinking about others."
In the bowl, if you want to eat a fat man in one bite, how can you do it!"
It turns out that although the Guizhou area was under the rule of the Ming Dynasty at that time, the imperial court did not have three divisions there. Instead, the leaders of the local minority Lou were named Xuanwei divisions, and they still controlled their original territories and people in a gradual infiltration manner.
The [central] management has been strengthened, so the degree of local autonomy there is currently quite high.
In fact, it is not just now that various problems appeared in the Ming Dynasty. Problems occurred every day. However, some problems were dealt with directly below and did not need to be reported to the emperor for decision. Some of the problems were reported to the emperor. Officials at all levels polished them off and reduced major issues to minor issues before they reached the emperor.
It is no longer obvious that they are dishonest. Now they are doing the opposite, specifically picking up news in this area and reporting it, and even exaggerating it. Naturally, it seems that the problem is concentrated.
Xia Xun smiled and said: "If this headache is reported, the emperor will definitely send troops to solve it.
Well, with this matter involved, the emperor has to act more cautiously towards Annan. However, I think it is not a bad thing for Guizhou to cause trouble. The emperor just seizes the opportunity to further infiltrate the power of the imperial court and step by step strengthen the control of Guizhou.
Control. Just watch, the emperor will not let go of this good opportunity!"
At this time, Yang Huaiyuan finally wiped his little face clean, and stumbled over to grab his precious little bamboo basket. Qiaoyun grabbed his vest from behind to prevent him from falling. Yang Huaiyuan handed the little bamboo basket to Peng Ziqi like a treasure.
, showing off with a smile: "Look, aunt, we caught a lot of toads, hehehe..."
Peng Ziqi was trained in swordsmanship and spear since he was a child, and he was very talented and daring, but after all, he was from a daughter's family. When he saw the frog's huāhuā green appearance, he was frightened and quickly waved his hand: "Get it away, get it away, you little brat."
"Sister, you're scaring my aunt, what's so good about this thing!" Yang Huaiyuan said unconvinced: "How fun! Fourth sister, let's play toad without my aunt!" Peng Ziqi was very angry and laughed after hearing this.
At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared in the corridor, stopped in the distance and bowed to Xia Xun.
He walked away.
After Zuo Dan returned from Liaodong, he has been responsible for Qianlong's affairs in Beijing. Xia Xun's Qianlong has two fixed forces. One is responsible for overseas trade, infiltration into foreign countries and intelligence collection, and the other stays in the capital.
, specializes in investigating large and small affairs in the capital, and is also a mobile force.
Seeing Xia Xun, Zuo Dan bowed again and said: "My lord, I have just received the news that the emperor inspected the Tiance Guards of Longjiang Station and commended them greatly. He also ordered the Ministry of War and the Commander-in-Chief of the Fifth Army.
The government should follow suit and strengthen the training of the children of meritorious officials."
Xia Xun tensed up after hearing this, and said in a deep voice: "Could it be that the emperor is using the King of Han to do this?"
He paced heavily under the wisteria trellis. After a while, his steps gradually slowed down and finally stabilized. He raised his head, looked at the green wisteria above his head, and said slowly: "Who will lead the army, the key is up to the emperor: we
To stop the King of Han, the key is to find out whether the emperor has the idea of easy storage. If he has the idea of easy storage, or loves his son, different ideas require different methods. If you understand it wrong, it will be self-defeating.
"Card, click, click!" He heard the laughter of his son teasing the frog. Xia Xun was startled. He turned around and saw that his son had poured the frog out of the bamboo basket and played with it with a small stick. The frog jumped.
, he was so frightened that he turned around and ran away, laughing and throwing himself at Qiao Yun, whose shape and appearance made people laugh.
Xia Xun looked at his son, and a hint of realization gradually came to his mind. A knowing smile appeared on his face and he said, "Zuo Dan, go find out a few things quickly. The first one..."!
