Back in the palace, Zhu Cixuan wrote a letter, called his personal eunuch Wang Tonghe, and said: "Wang Banban, go to Mr. Ma Ge's mansion and give this letter to him." After handing over the letter.
, he thought for a while, and then added: "Mr. Ma Ge is not in good health, so I will take two wild ginsengs that Mr. Mu sent me the day before yesterday."
Wang Tonghe has been taking care of Zhu Cixuan since he was born. During the Ming Dynasty, most of the eunuchs who served when the emperor was in his residence became powerful and loyal to the emperor after he came to the throne. However, the emperor often did not die well after his death. Wang Tonghe
Zhu Cixuan's fate depends on Zhu Cixuan, and Zhu Cixuan's trust in him is especially high in Yongli. Zhu Cixuan has been walking on thin ice since he time traveled, and he only dared to take off his disguise when facing Wang Tonghe.
Wang Tonghe arrived at Dema Mansion and was welcomed into the inner room. He saw Ma Jixiang wrapped in a thin quilt, his face was gray and his eyes were lifeless, as if he was really seriously ill. Wang Tonghe secretly laughed, and greeted Zhu Cixuan seriously.
After a few words and handing over the gift, he took out the letter.
Ma Jixiang took the letter with great difficulty, glanced at it, his eyes widened suddenly, and he almost sat up. Fortunately, he still remembered that he was "sick in bed" and restrained himself. Zhu Cixuan first counted the numbers in the letter.
For his various political achievements since then, he encouraged him to take care of his health for the country, and then made a small request, asking Ma Shoufang to recommend him to go to Guizhou to comfort the officers and soldiers. He looked embarrassed and said: "Prince Jin
As the Prince of Shu, it is legal for His Highness the Crown Prince to go there to offer condolences. But His Highness is really young, so I’m afraid His Majesty won’t agree.”
Wang Tonghe said with a smile: "We don't understand what His Highness said in the letter. Before our family came, His Highness explained that the Chief Assistant has worked hard and made great achievements, and has won the trust of the Emperor. His Highness also admires the elder. In the future,
When His Highness participates in state affairs, he should ask more advice from Mr. Yang. His Highness said that the affairs in the cabinet are complicated and make Mr. Yang sick from hard work. He thinks that Mr. Yang still needs some help. His Highness thinks that Mr. Yang Zaiyang is too old to do his job.
If I can accompany him and express my condolences, it will definitely be a matter of course for me to enter the pavilion in the future."
Ma Jixiang's face was gloomy and uncertain. Yang Zai was his confidant and he had been trying hard to push Yang Zai to join the cabinet. But Mu Guogong was worried that Ma Jixiang would be in trouble and resisted everywhere, so the matter was dragged on. Ma Jixiang was already high-ranking
He glanced at Zhu Cixuan, but before he only regarded Zhu Cixuan as a precocious child. Now he began to regard Zhu Cixuan as a mature politician who knew how to balance all parties to achieve their goals through the exchange of interests, rather than simply using power to suppress others.
Ma Jixiang asked in a hoarse voice: "Your Highness, are you sure you can persuade Duke Mu?"
Wang Tonghe stood up and saluted: "If Mr. Ge achieves His Highness's wishes, Your Highness will definitely repay you with this."
"Okay, I'll keep my face and give advice to the Holy One."
"Your Highness, I have already met Mr. Ge, and Mr. Ge agreed." Back in the palace, Wang Tonghe said to Zhu Cixuan respectfully. As the person who had the most contact with Zhu Cixuan, he clearly felt that Zhu Cixuan had been
With the changes that had come, the respect and fear for Zhu Cixuan also deepened day by day.
Zhu Cixuan smiled and said: "Wang Banban worked hard and was able to convince Mr. Ma Ge. Wang Banban deserves a lot of credit." He motioned Wang Tonghe to stand up and asked: "If this is done, I will go to Guizhou soon. Wang Banban
Would you like to go with me?"
"I will follow His Highness. Wherever His Highness goes, this servant will go." Wang Tonghe showed his loyalty and asked: "Master, do you want me to inform the adults in the imperial camp to prepare troops and horses to accompany you?"
"No need, there are many eyes and ears in the court, so we can't disturb the truth anymore." Zhu Cixuan thought for a while, shook his head and said. He has been practicing martial arts recently, which has attracted the impeachment of some pedantic civil servants. At this critical moment, the situation must not be disturbed.
.
"Go to Cining Palace and pay your respects to the Imperial Grandmother." Zhu Cixuan stood up and said, it's time to give grandma and mother some air to prepare them.
"Interesting, interesting." Yongli said with a smile. He was looking at the memorial presented by Yang Zai. Ma Jixiang reported illness and did not attend the morning court. However, since he agreed to Zhu Cixuan, he naturally had to do something. Since ancient times, it is rare for a prince to die well.
Yongli was even more lenient on the outside and taboo on the inside. Now that Zhu Cixuan had made it clear that he would start participating in government affairs, it was hard to predict Yongli's attitude. Ma Jixiang kept an eye on it. After Wang Tonghe left, he called Yang Zai and ordered Yang Zai to write this
A memorial. Yang Zai's son has been regarded as a confidant of the prince. He is also a bachelor, and he was dismissed without saying a word.
In the memorial, he first boasted that the achievements of King Jin and King Shu were unparalleled in the world, saying that such an earth-shattering victory was all due to Yongli's great blessings. As a rule, Yongli had to personally express his condolences, but Yongli's safety was too important.
, Kunming could not do without his wise leadership for a moment, so he suggested that the prince should go there on behalf of the emperor. He then praised Zhu Cixuan, saying that any matter of being smart, doing things, advocating civility and martial arts were just trivial matters. The key was that Zhu Cixuan, under the guidance of Yongli,
Filial piety is the foundation, benevolence and simplicity. He said that only the prince who was personally taught by Yongli could go to express condolences on behalf of Yongli, and only the prince was qualified to express condolences to the prince. He did not recognize all other candidates, even his father-in-law.
He also wanted to annihilate his relatives to oppose it. In the end, he hoped that he could do his best for Yongli and the prince and follow the prince to Guizhou.
The article quotes from many sources and is powerful, fully embodying the profound knowledge of the eight-legged essay of the Grand Scholar Yang. Yongli laughed off Yang Zai's flattery of him, skipped the words that praised the two kings of Jin and Shu, but ignored Yang Zai's flattery of Zhu Cixuan.
He read the compliments carefully and confirmed them one by one in his mind to see if they were consistent with Zhu Cixuan. He was extremely satisfied with Zhu Cixuan. Every time he talked with Zhu Cixuan, he felt refreshed, as if the other person was a treasure trove, and he could always dig out new and useful ideas.
Come. Many times, Yongli felt that his son was much more mature than himself. He who had given up on the situation and just wanted to escape and live his life, these days actually started to have the idea of cheering up.
"Emperor Gao has appeared." Yongli closed his eyes with satisfaction. He could not understand the huge changes in his son. Fortunately, he had his own worldview to explain it, "This kid has done a lot of things secretly behind my back.
No matter what, let him do it if he is willing to do it, anyway, this country will be passed on to him in the end."
Yongli concentrated for a moment, then picked up his pen and said: "Yes. The prince will go to Guizhou to express his condolences. University scholar Yang Zai, imperial camp Wang Qilong and others will accompany him. The Ministry of Rites will handle the relevant matters according to the cabinet vote."
