Chapter 165 Be kind and soft

8days ago Historical fiction 7
In the summer of the first year of Xuande, this was the first year of Zhu Zhanji's reign, but he was in power for the second year.

To this day, Zhu Zhanji has become very accustomed to the government.

He was surrounded by Grandpa Yongle's eyes at the age of eight. With such an emperor as a teacher, his military and political talents are definitely not worthy of being a false reputation, especially his knowledge of political power and strategy is becoming increasingly mature.

That day he was handling government affairs at the Imperial Gate and received two secret memorials.

One of them is a secret letter from Hu Guang sent in by Hu Ying, which contains several pages of paper burned to pieces; the other is a story about Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han in Le'an, Shandong, sent by the Sili Supervisor.

Obviously, the latter is more important to him. Zhu Zhanji's main focus in recent years is on his second uncle. He will compete with this elder who has fought bloody battle from the Jingnan Battle.

However, Hu Ying's letter did arouse his curiosity, a piece of incomplete content, and he subconsciously wanted to know the truth.So he decided to meet Hu Ying alone and listened to him.

Mr. Hu went to the Ganqing Palace to talk to me.

Zhu Zhanji issued an order to Hu Ying, who was standing in the hall, and ordered his attendants to go and pass oral orders, asking Yang Shiqi, Yang Rong and Xia Yuanji to meet in the Ganqing Palace.

The eunuch beside him hurriedly kneeled down and replied: I obey the order.

Zhu Zhanji put down the unfinished memorial and stood up. He immediately gathered around him with many eunuchs and palace maids huddled in front of the ceremonial war, and someone shouted, "The Emperor is on the way to the Qing Palace."

Because Hu Ying received the imperial edict, he also followed the crowd and left the imperial gate.

There are countless memorials every day that need to be decided by Zhu Zhanji, but these things are not difficult for him. Most things can be solved easily and easily. One thing only requires two or three words or simply express nothing.

Only some major events will go through more trouble. For example, he always had to discuss some things with the core ministers before he felt safe. Wang Gouer's secret documents from the East Factory had nothing to do with the Foreign Court ministers, but Zhu Zhanji summoned a few people to let them know.

It took time for Yang Shiqi and others to come to the palace. Before that, Zhu Zhanji happened to talk about the remnant letter to Hu Ying.

It is not convenient to deal with the imperial gate of Fengtian Gate. There are many internal and external officials on duty at the place where the court is handled, and there are only eunuchs in the Ganqing Palace.

The Ganqing Palace was built by Emperor Yongle. Gan is the meaning of heaven and Qing is the meaning of thoroughness: it means a thorough sky, neither turbid, and the emperor's actions are as open as the clear sky, and he does nothing shameful.

Of course this is just a saying.

Zhu Zhanji often handles government affairs in Fengtianmen. He often does things that are not easy to meet people and says something that cannot be put on the table. He is in the Qing Palace when he is in trouble.

There was a throne in the middle of the hall. Zhu Zhanji sat on it when he came in, while Hu Ying stood below because of the pattern. The two were far apart.

At this time, some irrelevant eunuchs and palace maids avoided it. The palace room seemed a little empty, and the throne was high above, so Zhu Zhanji felt deserted for a moment.

The heights are so cold. Perhaps this is true for emperors throughout the ages. People in the past even claimed to be lonely.

Zhu Zhanji also adapted. Sometimes it was in this situation that he could better feel something, such as his grandfather had also sat here and faced the same scenery a few years ago.

Zhu Zhanji began to look through the remaining paper in the envelope and said nothing.

After a while, Hu Ying said: The emperor, his handwriting is from Wu Yong. Wu Yong is a subordinate of the old minister. He is by Zhang Ping'an's side, in order to know the following situation more accurately, and in the other hand, he is to assist Zhang Ping'an in doing business.However, when I received a report from Huguang two days ago, Wu Yong disappeared and disappeared.

Hu Ying's narration was respectful and gentle. This was his cultivation as an old minister, but he also revealed a hint of anger.

Zhu Zhanji said: What is the mystery of this incomplete thing?

Hu Ying seemed to have already thought about it and immediately replied: From the perspective of an old minister, at least three points.First, the Cults and the Jianwen Rebellion had collusions with ulterior motives. This is what Wu Yong described in the article. He understood the situation on the spot and dared to write it out. There is also a certain basis in his words, and it is definitely not a nonsense.Second, Wu Yong may have suffered an accident. This letter has obviously been burned and someone may want to destroy it.Third, Zhang Ning's actions are very suspicious. Why didn't he explain Wu Yong's report?Or he didn't know that this broken text was sent to the capital, so he did not mention anything about the ward off the cult and collusion with the party. What was he covering up?

He was obviously talking bad things about Zhang Ning with emotion, but he did not think it was a slander.

Still, no matter who has a confidant subordinate is missing in an unknown way, it cannot be relaxed.

Hu Ying wanted to abide by some rules in the officialdom, but abiding by rules is not to be timid and slaughtered.

Zhu Zhanji remained calm. He was very young but could withstand the storm.

Although the matter of the Jianwen Relative Party cannot be ignored, it is not enough.

Think about the fact that before ascending the throne, my second uncle wanted to intercept him, but now he is dependent on force and wants to use war to fight for power. In comparison, what are some unsuccessful rebels?

He asked: What should Mr. Hu thinks should be dealt with in this matter?

Zhang Ning is very likely to kill his own people. Of course Hu Ying wants him to be sanctioned, so it is best to be imprisoned and questioned his relationship with the Jianwen Rebellion Party.

But Hu Ying immediately considered how Yang Shiqi, the first minister in the court, would react?

No matter what, if there is real evidence in this matter, Yang Shiqi will not be slandered.

So Hu Ying said cautiously: The old minister asked for an order to send someone to Huguang to find out the truth about Wu Yong's disappearance.

Zhu Zhanji said decisively: Instead of doing this, it is better to post a message to ask Zhang Ning to come back and ask him.Send a few Jinyiwei and messengers down. If Zhang Ning resisted the order, he would take it back with Jinyiwei.

After hearing this, Hu Ying hurriedly said: The emperor is wise.

Because Zhang Ning and Yang Shiqi's daughter had an engagement, and Yang Shiqi was an important minister to participate in the state's confidentiality, Zhu Zhanji was very tolerant of Zhang Ning in the past.

But this time it was different. It was obvious that Zhang Ning's actions in Huguang were very suspicious; although there was no real evidence to prove that he had an affair with the rebels, Zhu Zhanji was not a man as kind as he was on the surface, and he would not be indecisive.

For those who are against themselves, they must not be condoned just because they have something to do with a minister.

Moreover, Yang Shiqi should be the one who can tell the difference between right and wrong, otherwise Zhu Zhanji would not be so valued.

At this moment, the eunuch bent over and took a small step and said: Emperor, the ministers are waiting for summons outside the hall.

After hearing this, Hu Ying bowed at the right time: Old minister, please leave.

Zhu Zhanji raised his hand and waved it gently, and a hint of coldness appeared on his face.

Zhang Ning's affairs were handled in a short while. When Zhu Zhanji was about to let go, he accidentally remembered the situation on his way to Beijing last year. Zhang Ning did make contributions and gave him a good impression. He remembered that this young civil servant was a capable minister who could do things...

It is because of ability, but may lack loyalty, and it cannot be easily indulged.

Yang Shiqi's sn in law has not yet married his daughter...

What is it?

In the past, I would give some holy grace at will, which is the demeanor of a kind king. If I have some function, I can do whatever I want without any scruples?

Unless he is the King of Han Zhu Gaoxu.

The King of Han was the emperor's greatest indulgence.Zhu Zhanji blindly showed his kindness and family affection, but this did not mean that he was really lenient.

After a while, the ministers came into the hall and were talking about the King of Han.Zhu Zhanji summoned them to come mainly to let the ministers know about the current situation so that they could get feasible advice when needed.

The things reported by the Jinyiwei of the East Factory were circulated in the hands of the Foreign Court Minister. This was a good thing in Zhu Zhanji's opinion, and it had a clear and clear atmosphere in the court.

Yang Shiqi first browsed the things given by the emperor, and then silently handed them to Xia Yuanji.After a moment, Natsuhara Yoshi said loudly: This is a rebellion!

Zhu Zhanji turned around and looked at Xia Yuanji, as if saying: Now he is still yelling that he is planning to rebel, he has been planning to rebel for a long time, is he so fussy?I looked at Yang Shiqi and became much calmer.

Xia Yuanji said seriously: The heart of the King of Han is obvious!The prince has five or six thousand troops in the local area, and he has more than one as the royal guard. The King of Han is now recruiting troops and not allowing the court to allow him. What do he want to do?Where did the authority of the imperial court be placed?

Zhu Zhanji said: It is reported that he also made firearms privately, recruited Yong'an to train the people, and privately released prisoners from nearby prefectures and counties to provide weapons and flags to serve as soldiers, and captured refugees, fugitives, and rogues from all over the world as poor.If this continues, the Han King's troops will soon reach tens of thousands.

He said this a few words on purpose, then observed the expressions of several ministers for a moment, and asked again: Why didn’t Yang Shaobao say anything?

After hearing this, Yang Shiqi stood up and bowed, saying: The emperor, please send a censor to Le'an to ask.

When Yang Rong spoke, he also agreed.

The only people present were Xia Yuanji, the Minister of Revenue, who spoke fiercely. His affairs had been heard many times and had already made grudges.

Yang Shiqi is a minister with greater influence, but he was not specifically resented by Zhu Gaoxu.

His tepid appearance is a proof of...

Of course, he was not worried about offending the King of Han and leaving a way out for himself, and Zhu Zhanji also trusted him.

Yang Shiqi occasionally mentioned the matter of the King of Han, mostly talking about things that reciprocate and reminded the emperor not to be neglected in courtesy; and Zhu Zhanji also expressed that the second emperor's uncle was very sincere and followed him in everything.

This appeasement policy between the monarch and his subjects has formed a tacit understanding.

Today, when I saw Yang Shiqi, I was still lukewarm, and Zhu Zhanji also believed that his political thinking had to continue.

In fact, when he heard the impatient news from the King of Han, Zhu Zhanji felt that everything he occupied the commanding heights, and the second uncle was indeed not his opponent in strategy.

However, Zhu Zhanji has not underestimated the enemy until now, and his second uncle's military martial arts cannot be underestimated.

If Zhu Gaoxu, who was brave and good at fighting, had not made many outstanding achievements in the Jingnan Battle, it would be hard to say what the result would be.

The young Zhu Zhanji showed great patience when fighting with such a hero of the past, and was also looking forward to defeating such an opponent to prove his ability.
