Chapter 931 The Little Prince

7days ago Historical fiction 7
After Princess Wei said goodbye, the few people who gathered together also parted.Xu still followed Duan Xueheng to the wing where they lived.

The two of them stepped into the threshold silently, and Duan Xuehen suddenly turned around and said: Don’t listen to Princess Zhao’s complaining just now, but her status is very stable.You can't compare to her, so you don't have to think about King Zhao anymore.Xu said: I didn’t want to compare with Wei, and I couldn’t expect to be the Princess Zhao again.Her expression was very entangled.

Duan Xuehen looked at her. She was usually very thoughtful and loved to inquire about all kinds of things. When she faced her own affairs, she seemed very confused.

Duan Xuehen said bluntly: Since that's the case, what do you want to do when you come to the Zhao Palace? If you are an abolished princess, you will not be the wife of King Zhao. Xu looked at Duan Xueheng with grievance and shook his head and said: I don’t know. I often don't know who I am. Duan Xuehen felt a little moved when he heard this.

She had had such a situation before, and she had not changed her surname to Mu so far, which is a clear proof.

However, after she was crowned Depin, this was her main identity.

Duan Xueheng thought about it very seriously for a while before kindly suggested: You might as well become a monk. If you don’t want to shave your hair, you can become a Taoist priest, and you will get another Taoist quotation.Xu nodded slightly, not commenting.

... Everyone stayed in Zhao's Mansion for a few days, and there were banquets almost every day.

King Zhao found the famous scholars from Zhangde Mansion and local officials to accompany him, and the palace was filled with music and singing every day.

After a few days like this, Zhu Gaoxu decided to leave Zhangde Mansion.

At the same time, Zhu Gaoxu asked Gao Xianning to write an imperial edict to send it to Beiping and Jinan. He asked the Beiping Dushi to issue military orders to the guards in the north and the Shandong Provincial Administration and Commissioner to issue military orders to the Liaodong guards near Shanhaiguan, ordering the designated guards to send people to Peiping to report their duties; and ordered the Wurianha people to go to the Beiping Saint.

(The Liaodong Capital Division is under the Shandong Provincial Administration and the capital is located in Liaoyang and is relatively far from Peiping.) Next night that day, the army still did not leave the border of Zhangde Prefecture.

At this time, Gao Xianning brought a fellow Shandong fellow to the headquarters of the Central Army and introduced it to Zhu Gaoxu.

They went into the house to bow and bow, and the Shandong people claimed to be the seventh-rank prosecutor of Jinan Prefecture, named Zhu Heng.Zhu Gaoxu saw that he was a young scholar under 30 years old, with a national face, and his face was stable.

After the two stood up, Gao Xianning said first: Zhu Tuiguan was a student of Jinan Prefecture and was considered a classmate with me.He came to meet his ministers after taking the responsibilities of the Shandong governor Chu Yu.Chu Tak did not submit a memorial, which means that Zhu Tuiguan asked the minister to advise the emperor through his relationship, to reduce taxes and labor service in Shandong and build canals.Hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu was a little curious and thought that it would be enough to just submit a memorial to such a thing, why bother with it?

Moreover, it is quite unusual for a seventh-rank official who is not Gao Xianning's close relatives and friends to be recommended to the emperor himself.

However, Gao Xianning is one of Zhu Gaoxu's strong counselors, so Zhu Gaoxu will try his best to give him face, so let's listen.

Sure enough, Gao Xianning then said: If it were just such a thing, I would not disturb the emperor.Because Zhu Tuiguan was a person who dared to speak out, he told me that there was something else in it.After saying that, he turned to look at Zhu Heng and nodded slightly.

Zhu Heng bowed and said, "I am asking the emperor to report to the emperor. Shandong has suffered repeated wars since the "Jingnan Battle". At that time, the fields were deserted and the families were destroyed.During the Yongle period, the imperial court wanted to move the capital to Peiping, build palaces and clear the Grand Canal, and also impose additional labor service in the provinces near the left, and Shandong is also listed here.

At the beginning of Wude, the emperor issued an order to reduce and exempt grain taxes from various parts of Shandong for three years.But at the same time, the emperor commanded the emperor personally recruited a large number of corvee labor; the Later Zhao King changed his title to Zhangde, and also built a royal palace from various places, and Shandong had to collect corvee labor again.However, the most burden of this is still the construction and clearance of the Grand Canal, which has continuous corvee service every year and the people are struggling to do so.The stimulator's face was pale and sweat had been soaked on his forehead. He seemed to be very scared.After all, he told some things that the emperor was not that good.

Zhu Gaoxu was very calm and said: Just say it.Zhu Heng took a deep breath and said: What made the injury worse at this time is the candidate who served as the Shandong governor.Lord Chu is a timid person.This person is indeed very courageous. He first talked about Zhu Gaoxu's problem, and then criticized his superiors.

I have formulated a national policy, and the transportation of grain from north to south is mainly based on sea transportation and the transportation of grain is supplemented.Moreover, all matters of moving the capital to Peiping have been stopped. The Grand Canal does not need to be rushed to clear, so this matter can be slowed down.As the governor of a provincial governor, Chu Tak only needs to write a letter to request an order to reduce labor service so that the people can rest and recuperate. Why doesn’t he say anything?Zhu Gaoxu asked.

Zhu Hengdao: When I replied to the emperor, Lord Chu was timid and he was afraid of offending the officials in the court.If the grain transportation is vigorously promoted, the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of War and other relevant officials can get filial piety from it; Lord Chu is worried that the center will be dissatisfied with the letter and the construction of the canal.He paused for a moment and said: In recent years, due to the sufferings of people's livelihood, Shandong's White Lotus Sect has grown stronger and stronger.Lord Chu neither reported it, and he adopted the wrong strategy. At least Wei Chen believed that it was a big mistake without authorization!Lord Chu implemented the appeasement strategy and focused on appeaseing the White Lotus Sect. Because he was worried that the White Lotus Sect would cause rebellion to rebel, he wanted Lord Chu to take responsibility.But I believe that the White Lotus Sect has been considered illegal by the court since the beginning of Hongwu and is prohibited by the world.The right and wrong are clear, but the government does not dispatch troops to suppress them as soon as possible, and the situation will only become more and more uncontrollable.After hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu said: If this Chu Tan, as Zhu Tuiguan said, is indeed not suitable to be an official in a troublesome place.Abolish the White Lotus Sect and then reduce the burden on the people of Shandong in all aspects to rest and recuperate.These things will be done this year.Zhu Gaoxu continued, but we have to come up with a systematic strategy first, otherwise it may not be effective if the imperial edict is issued casually.Gao Xianning and Zhu Heng hurriedly worshiped each other: The wisest emperor.Zhu Gaoxu glanced at Zhu Heng and said in an admirational tone: It is a good thing that an official dares to tell the truth.I hate those who deceive superiors and subordinates and disobey the emperor the most. Such people will only increase the cost of governance.After saying that, he waved his hand and the two of them thanked him for giving in.

When talking about the White Lotus Sect today, Zhu Gaoxu remembered a very famous incident. The Tang Saier Uprising seemed to be what happened in Shandong in this era.

In addition, in the beginning of Yongle, Zhu Gaoxu fought with his elder brother for the prince. He once did something, which was to use the excuse that Gao Chi sent people to provide relief to the hungry people in Shandong to fabricate the name of a benevolent emperor, which made Gao Chi tremble in front of his father.

Zhu Gaoxu was a vassal king back then, unable to control government affairs, and only cared about fighting, and did not ask about the truth about Shandong. Now that he thought about it, he suddenly felt a little sad.

So early the next morning, Zhu Gaoxu changed his route temporarily and ordered a trip to Shandong first and then to Peking.

The territory of the Shandong Provincial Administration Commission is very close to Zhangde Mansion, just east of this place, and it would not take much time for everyone to walk around Shandong.

Zhu Gaoxu put the reinvite Zhu Heng back to Jinan Prefecture.

He also asked Zhu Heng to lead the conversation, Jinan Prefecture did not have to welcome the sage, and the large group of people escorting the sage did not go to Jinan City.

As for the personnel and affairs of Shandong officialdom, Zhu Gaoxu has no intention of moving for the time being.

Two days later, Wang Yu's messenger came to report that the troops escorting the remnants of the Tatar tribe had already crossed the river.Wang Yu asked for an order to send it to the camp directly and no longer go to Beiping.

The officials who had originally arranged to escort the Tatars were ordered to go to Peking.The reason for this is that considering that the Tatars were far away, the emperor's Northern Tour team should have to wait in Beiping to see them.

However, the Northern Patrol team stayed on the south bank of the Great River for a long time; because they followed the military and civil and military, they advised Zhu Gaoxu and others to cross the river after reducing the water, so people waited until September to cross the river.

In addition, the ceremonial guards and escort troops walked very slowly and stayed in the Zhao Palace for several days, so that the Tatars who came from the Hexi Corridor had already caught up with the Northern Tour team at this time.

The plan has changed a bit, but it has not delayed the situation.

When Wang Yu led his men to catch up with the Northern Patrol team, the large group had just entered the ground of the Shandong Provincial Administration and the General Office.

First, Wang Yu came to meet and reported the detailed process of this trip. How to obey He Fu's orders and how to encounter the Oirat war are all things that Zhu Gaoxu already knew.

Wang Yu was nothing more than personal experience, and he said it in more detail.

At dusk that day, the army camped near a village.

At this time, Zhang Sheng, the commander of the Jinyiwei, walked into the central army's tent. He glanced at the civil and military officials present, then bowed to Zhu Gaoxu, and bowed and said in a low voice: Among the troops escorting the remnants of the Tatars, there was a Jinyiwei's captain.After seeing his minister, he claimed that he seemed to recognize the little Mongolian prince.like?Zhu Gaoxu asked casually.

The officials sitting below all looked at Zhu Gaoxu's voice.

This kind of thing doesn't need to be hidden from the confidant ministers, so Zhu Gaoxu just spoke normally.

Zhang Sheng bent down and said: According to the report from the captain, General Wang and General He's reinforcements arrived, the Ola army had already broken through the guard formation.At that time, everyone thought the situation was hopeless and the situation was critical. Mongolian Khan Concubine Asari found a boy and held him in her arms.The captain also observed that Concubine Khan had been taking care of the boy in the chaos.Therefore, I guess that the boy is the son of Concubine Khan and the little Mongolian prince, but there is no definite evidence yet.Zhu Gaoxu said: I understand.I sue for my retreat.Zhang Sheng bowed his fists, took a few steps back, and then turned around and walked out of the big tent.

Wang Bin said happily: Congratulations to the emperor, the truth of this matter is revealed. As long as the Tatar prime minister was arrested and tortured, and then threatened by the little Mongolian prince, the Tatars would not be able to take anything? Qi Duke Qiu Fu immediately turned his head and showed a playful smile.

Gao Xianning said kindly: What Duke Dingguo said is indeed effective, but in this way, he broke up with the Tatars.At this time, if the Oirats knew about the Tatars' conspiracy and hated the Tatars the most was the leader of the Oirat, Mahamu. Why don't we sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight?Zhu Gaoxu nodded and said: Those Tatars have entered our territory, so don’t worry.Let's start the meal first.Everyone relaxed immediately.

After walking all day, I only ate dry food at noon, and everyone was already hungry.

After a while, the soldiers brought the wine and meat to the bill, and the atmosphere in the big tent suddenly became pleasant.
