In the summer of the first year of Xuande, this was the first year of Zhu Zhanji's reign, but it was his second year in power. Today, Zhu Zhanji is very familiar with government affairs. He was surrounded by Grandpa Yongle when he was eight years old. Ran, with such a great emperor as his teacher, his military and political talents are by no means in vain, especially his knowledge in political maneuvering has become increasingly mature.
On this day, he was handling government affairs at the Royal Gate and received two secret messages. One of them was a secret message from Huguang sent in by Hu Ying. The content was several pages of burned and incomplete paper; the other was from the Secretary of Ceremony. The story about Zhu Gaoxu, King of Han Dynasty in Le'an, Shandong Province, was sent by King Gou'er, the supervisor of the seal. Obviously the latter is more important to him. In recent years, Zhu Zhanji's main attention has been on his second uncle. He will fight with this man from Jingnan. The elders who fought bloody battles competed against each other.
However, Hu Ying's letter did arouse his curiosity. It was an incomplete content, and he subconsciously wanted to know the truth. So he decided to meet Hu Ying alone to listen to what he had to say.
"Shilang Hu, come with me to the Qianqing Palace to speak." Zhu Zhanji gave an order to Hu Ying, who was standing in the palace with a bow, and then ordered the attendants around him, "Go and deliver the oral message, and ask Yang Shiqi, Yang Rong, and Xia Yuanji to also come to the Qianqing Palace." Come and meet.”
The eunuch on the side quickly knelt down and responded: "I obey your order."
Zhu Zhanji put down the unfinished memorial in his hand and stood up. Immediately, many eunuchs and palace maidens gathered around him, cheering in front of and behind them. Someone shouted, "Your Majesty sets out to Qianqing Palace." Hu Ying also followed the crowd because she had received the imperial edict. Leave the imperial gate together.
There are countless memorials that require Zhu Zhanji to make decisions every day, but these things are not difficult for him. Most things can be solved easily and casually. One thing only requires two or three words or nothing at all. Only Only some big things would take a lot of trouble. For example, some matters concerning his second uncle, he always had to discuss with the core ministers before he felt safe; Wang Gouer's Dongchang secrets originally had nothing to do with the ministers of the outer court, but Zhu Zhan Ji called a few people here to let them know.
It took time for Yang Shiqi and others to enter the palace. Before that, Zhu Zhanji happened to talk to Hu Ying about Can Xin. It was not convenient to be inside the Fengtianmen Royal Gate. There were many internal and external officials on duty where the government affairs were handled, and the Qianqing Palace There is only a waiter in there.
Qianqing Palace was built by Emperor Yongle. Qian means heaven, and Qing means thorough: meaning a transparent sky, neither muddy nor turbid. The emperor's actions were as magnanimous as the clear sky, and he did not do anything shameful. Of course, this is just talk. Zhu Zhanji mostly handles government affairs in Fengtianmen on a daily basis. He often does things that are not easy to see, and says things that are not popular on the stage. He is in Qianqing Palace.
There was a throne in the middle of the palace. Zhu Zhanji came in and sat on it, while Hu Ying stood at the bottom. Due to the layout, the two of them were relatively far apart. At this time, some irrelevant eunuchs and maidens avoided it, and the palace looked very It was a bit empty, and the throne was high up, so Zhu Zhanji felt deserted for a while.
It's always cold at high places. This is probably the case for emperors throughout the ages. In the past, people still called themselves "lonely" and "widowless". Zhu Zhanji has also adapted to it. Sometimes it is this kind of situation that allows us to feel something better, such as A few years ago, his grandfather also sat here and faced the same scenery.
Zhu Zhanji began to look through the scraps of paper in the envelope without saying anything. After a while, Hu Ying said: "Your Majesty, the handwriting is Wu Yong's. Wu Yong is a subordinate of the old minister. He stood next to Zhang Ping'an.
The first is to know the following situation more accurately, and the second is to assist Zhang Ping'an. However, I received a report from Huguang two days ago that Wu Yong has disappeared and has disappeared."
Hu Ying's narrative tone was respectful and gentle, which was his characteristic as a veteran minister, but there was also a hint of anger in it.
Zhu Zhanji asked: "What's the mystery of this incomplete thing?"
Hu Ying seemed to have thought about what to say and immediately replied: "In the opinion of the veteran, there are at least three points. First, the anti-evil cult and the Jianwen rebellious party have colluded with ulterior motives. This is what Wu Yong described in the article. He was on the ground
He understood the situation and dared to write it. There is some basis for his words, and he was definitely not talking nonsense. Secondly, something might have happened to Wu Yong. The letter had obviously been burned, and someone might want to destroy it. Thirdly, Zhang Ning's behavior was very suspicious.
, Why didn’t he explain Wu Yong’s memorial? Or he didn’t even know that the scraps were sent to the capital, so what was he hiding by not mentioning the evil cult’s collusion with the rebellious party?”
He was obviously speaking ill of Zhang Ning with emotion, but he did not think it was slander. No matter who's close subordinate was disappeared without any explanation, he could not let it go easily. Hu Ying wanted to abide by some rules in the officialdom, but he did not
The rules are not just to be dictated by others.
Zhu Zhanji remained calm. He was very young but could withstand the storm. Although the matter of Jianwen Yudang could not be ignored, it was not important enough. Think about how his second uncle wanted to intercept and kill him before he ascended the throne. Now he has the force to use it.
Compared with fighting for power, what are some insignificant and chaotic parties? He then asked: "How does Mr. Hu think this matter should be handled?"
Zhang Ning most likely killed his own people. Of course Hu Ying wanted him to be punished. It was best to go to jail and torture him about his relationship with the Jianwen rebellious party. But Hu Ying immediately considered how Yang Shiqi, the first minister of the DPRK and China, would react? No matter what,
If there was real evidence for this matter, Yang Shiqi would not take the risk. So Hu Ying said cautiously: "I requested that someone be sent to Huguang to find out the truth about Wu Yong's disappearance."
Zhu Zhanji said decisively: "Instead of doing this, it is better to send a message to Zhang Ning to come back and question him. Send a few Jin Yiwei down with the messenger. If Zhang Ning resists the order, the Jin Yiwei will take it back."
After hearing this, Hu Ying hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, your Majesty."
Because Zhang Ning was engaged to Yang Shiqi's daughter, and Yang Shiqi was an important minister involved in state secrets, Zhu Zhanji was very tolerant of Zhang Ning in the past. But this time it was different. It was obvious that Zhang Ning's behavior in Huguang was very suspicious; although it was still
There is no real evidence to prove that he had an affair with the rebellious party, but Zhu Zhanji is not as benevolent as he appears on the surface, let alone indecisive. For those who are against him, he must not be condoned just because he has a relationship with a certain minister. Moreover,
Yang Shiqi should also be someone who can distinguish right from wrong, otherwise he wouldn't be able to be used so highly by Zhu Zhanji.
At this moment, the eunuch bent over and walked quickly over, saying: "Your Majesty, the ministers are waiting for the summons outside the palace."
After hearing this, Hu Ying bowed in due time: "Old minister, please retreat."
Zhu Zhanji raised his hand and waved it gently, with a hint of coldness on his face. Zhang Ning's matter was taken care of in a while. When Zhu Zhanji was about to put it down, he inadvertently remembered what happened on the way to Beijing last year. Zhang Ning was indeed
He had made meritorious service and left a good impression on him. He had the impression that this young civil servant was a capable minister who could handle things... just because he was capable, he might lack loyalty, let alone indulge easily.
Yang Shiqi's son-in-law, who has not yet married his daughter... what does it count? In the past, if he gave some holy grace at will, that would be the magnanimity of a benevolent king. After making some achievements, he could do whatever he wanted without any scruples? Unless he was Zhu Gaoxu, King of Han Dynasty.
The King of Han got the greatest connivance from the emperor. Zhu Zhanji blindly showed his kindness and affection, but this did not mean that he was really soft-hearted.
After a while, the ministers came into the palace, and they were talking about the affairs of the King of Han. Zhu Zhanji summoned them mainly to let the ministers know about the current affairs, so that they could get feasible suggestions when needed.
The things reported by the Jinyiwei of Dongchang were circulated to the ministers of the foreign court. In Zhu Zhanji's opinion, this was a good thing and gave an atmosphere of clean government.
Yang Shiqi first browsed the things given by the emperor, and then handed them to Xia Yuanji silently. After a moment, Xia Yuanji loudly said: "This is treason!"
Zhu Zhanji turned his head and glanced at Xia Yuanji, as if to say: If you are still saying that he is treasonous, he has been treasonous for a long time. How can he make such a fuss? Looking at Yang Shiqi, he feels much calmer.
Xia Yuanji said solemnly: "The King of Han's intentions are clearly revealed! The prince has five or six thousand troops in the local area, which is more than enough to serve as a royal guard. Now the King of Han is recruiting troops without the permission of the court. What does he want to do? Where does he put the authority of the court?
"
Zhu Zhanji said: "It is reported that he also made firearms privately, recruited people from Yong'an to form troops for training, secretly released prisoners from nearby counties and counties, provided weapons and flags for the army, and collected refugees, fugitives, and scoundrels from all directions.
If this continues, the King of Han's troops will soon number in the tens of thousands."
He deliberately said a few words, then observed the expressions of several ministers condescendingly for a moment, and then asked: "Why doesn't Yang Shaobao say anything?"
After hearing this, Yang Shiqi stood up, bowed, and said, "The emperor can send a censor to Le'an to ask before he talks."
When it was Yang Rong's turn to speak, he also agreed in the same way.
The only person present was Xia Yuanji, the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, who spoke fiercely. His story had been brought to the ears of the King of Han many times, and he had already formed a grudge. However, Yang Shiqi was a minister with greater influence, and Zhu Gaoxu was not specifically hated by him.
His tepid appearance is proof... He is certainly not worried about offending the King of Han and leaving a way out for himself. Zhu Zhanji also trusts him. Yang Shiqi occasionally mentioned things about the King of Han, mostly to remind the emperor of courtesy.
Don't be careless about etiquette; and Zhu Zhanji also expressed that the second emperor's uncle was very sincere and would obey him in everything. This appeasement policy between the monarch and his ministers has formed a tacit understanding. Today, when I see Yang Shiqi, he is still tepid, Zhu Zhanji
I also believe that my political thinking must continue.
In fact, after hearing the news that the King of Han could not wait, Zhu Zhanji felt that he had the commanding heights in everything, and his second uncle was indeed no match for him in strategy. However, Zhu Zhanji could endure it until now because he did not underestimate the enemy. His second uncle was in military matters.
His martial arts skills cannot be underestimated.
It's hard to say what the outcome of the "Battle of Jingnan" would have been without the heroic and capable Zhu Gaoxu who repeatedly performed extraordinary feats. The young Zhu Zhanji showed great patience and looked forward to fighting against such a former hero.
, looking forward to defeating such an opponent to prove his ability.
