I am the king of the dead

"Your Majesty is too merciful?" Shang Ren asked with staring eyes. How did Hu Wei say such a shameless thing? How many major cases did His Majesty handle and how many people were beheaded in the ten years since His Majesty took the throne?

The door of Xiejieyuan is still open!

Hu Yan sneered and said: "The Hanlin in the Imperial Academy who wanted to bury nails in Tai'an Palace, His Majesty just exiled him, not punished him. If this is not kindness, what is it?"

"If this was during the Yongle period, what would have happened to the aides who buried nails in the Prince's Mansion in the King's Mansion of Han? Exile? A big dream at three o'clock in the afternoon!"

"All of them belong to the Yi tribe. Most of them don't even have a name left."

"I'll show you the Record of King Jili you compiled, and you don't need to write it in the record. Back then, the King of Han's mansion was full of clans. This is the list of the staff of the King of Han's mansion. These people were all killed by the barbarians. "

Hu Yi opened his small box, showed Shang Ren the list, and put it back in the box.

Hu Wei continued: "What regrets? Regret what? It's life and death for usurping the heir."

"Using the love of children to guess the dangers of political struggles is the right of the common people."

"As a senior scholar of the imperial court and a bachelor of commerce, you also use the love of your children to guess, not only you, but also many courtiers use the love of your children to guess. It's not because your majesty is too kind and protects you too well. ?"

"Calling Your Majesty the king of subjugation, whenever you change it, it will be a dead end, the kind of dead end that will wipe out your family."

"It was only during the Jingtai period that these gossip officials were able to do so openly. Just like this, these people don't appreciate the grace of the saints at all, and they have no respect for them."

Hu Wei became a Jinshi during the Jianwen period. Over the years, if you ask what era is the easiest to be an official, Hu Wei's answer is the Jingtai period.

Because from the Jianwen period to the Zhengtong period, due to various problems in the transfer of power at the top and the harsh political environment, when you become an official, you face a lot of standing in line. If there is a slight mistake, the whole family, young and old, will die together.

Even the bureaucracy, the ruling class, lives in fear. Under such high pressure, no one has an easy life.

"This... this..." Shang Ren was a little slip of the tongue for a while, and he felt that what Hu Min said made sense for a while!

He could go to the well-known flatterer Hu Wei and ask His Majesty such questions as his life experience, because in Shang Ren's subconscious, even if His Majesty knew it, he would just laugh it off and not care at all, so He will come to find out the truth.

It seems, it seems, it is possible, maybe, the present is the most relaxed political environment since the founding of Ming Dynasty.

Hu Yan shook his head and said with emotion: "Your Majesty is a good man."

828 Chapter Xiang Wang Wants to Seize the Great Position and Follow the King of Yan

Hu Wei just felt that such a cold place like the court hall has some warmth, which is not a good thing for the courtiers. When they are used to such a court hall, after a major change in the situation in the court , you will not be able to adapt to the rapidly changing atmosphere in the court.

This kind of warmth is the inevitable result of political stability and easing, just like after the sun rises, all ghosts and ghosts hide, everything is acting according to the rules, and major changes such as Yu Qian's death, the replacement of the throne, etc. Bring drastic changes to the court.

And at this time, the conspirators hiding in the dark will use their own bottom line and immorality to defeat all the gentlemen in the court, and then transform themselves, creating the illusion that the court is full of righteousness, saying some shit that doesn't make sense. Do not believe in the truth, fooling and deceiving the world.

Even this pedantic, three-dimensional and first-class businessman who reads books is pursuing truth and romance.

Of course Shang Ren knew what Hu Wei was talking about, and after thinking for a long time, he said, "It's actually pretty good, Your Majesty is young."

This kind of stable and relaxed atmosphere will make the great thinking during the Jingtai period flourish, and as long as the young majesty can continue to govern stably, there is a high probability that Shang Ren will not see major changes in the court.

Everyone else is dead, and I can't care about what happens after death.

To this day, His Majesty is still a very cautious person, curious about how many bowls of rice His Majesty ate, and Hanlin who buried nails in Tai'an Palace was thrown to Yongning Temple.

When Shang Ren left, Shang Ren discovered a very strange thing, that is, Hu Wei did not answer his question directly, but admonished him for his naivety and naivety in politics.

Standing in front of Hu's door, Shang Ren shook his head after thinking for a while. Since Hu had made it clear that the first emperor never regretted killing the whole family of King Han's family, there was no doubt about His Majesty's life experience.

It can only be said that rumors are just rumors. As for what the eunuch Chen Fu said, Shang Ren thought about it carefully, and he was probably talking nonsense.

In fact, even if Shang Ren asked, he couldn't find anything. Compared with Hu Mu's Tai Chi skills, he was still nine shameless Liu Ji.

Standing in the small attic, Hu Wei watched indifferently as Shang Ren stopped in front of the door and then shook his head to leave. Then, leaning on crutches, he took out the brazier, took out a few pieces of paper from the box, threw them into the brazier, and then took out the brazier. Got some water, poured it in, and scattered all the ashes.

Hu Changxiang thought there was a fire in the small attic, and was so frightened that he quickly ran up with a bucket, only to see Hu Min who was resting on a recliner, and asked strangely, "Did father burn something?"

"When people are old, they can't write well. If they get angry, they burn it." Hu Wei replied with a smile. This answer is very reasonable.

Hu Yan is old, not stupid, and he doesn't even bother to find a reason.

As for whether it was Hu Wei who burned his own useless characters, only Hu Wei himself knows.

"What dad wants to write in the future, tell the baby." Hu Changxiang took out a blanket and covered Hu Min's body.

"A few days ago, His Majesty gave me a mansion. Tomorrow you find some people to clean it up. I will also retire. If I occupy such a good mansion again, the courtiers will call me shameless again." Hu Yi leaned on the recliner, looked at The fallen leaves in the yard said leisurely to Hu Changxiang.

After a lifetime of busy work, he must completely stay away from this vortex of power.

"Your Majesty won't let you move."

"The little yellow gate who announced the reward said, clean up and tidy up. If there is a decree in the future, I will announce the decree here." When Hu Changxiang talked about the house, he just had a lot of fun. He cleaned up the brazier, raised his head and said, "Father, what do you say?" Your Majesty is also interesting, this rewarded the mansion, but didn't let us move there, why did you still come here after proclaiming the decree?"

"You don't understand." Hu Wei was also taken aback when he heard the words, and then said: "That guy Wang Zhi moved out a long time ago, and His Majesty didn't specifically tell me, His Majesty told me to continue working for Daming before I closed my eyes." .”

"Very good." Hu Yan leaned on the recliner and said leisurely: "My old bones, His Majesty still values ​​me."

The situation of Wang Zhi and Hu Wei is very different. Before the battle of the capital, Wang Zhi was the head of the hundred officials. It was given to Yu Qian, and later after the stability of the court, the position of Minister of the Ministry of Officials was also handed over to Wang Ao.

This Wang Zhi and Hu Wei are still a bit inferior in their ability to handle affairs.

For example, this time His Majesty explained the matter of official ships and official trade, Hu Wei handled it extremely comprehensively.

Is Hu Yan willing to continue working for His Majesty?Of course he is happy.

Hu Wei has been in the court all his life, and it seems that he has been in the court for more than 50 years. Besides the court, his only hobby is medicine.

He was completely out of energy when he became an official, and if he occupied the hole and didn't work, he would be poked in the back and quit.

Hu Changxiang said with a smile: "Our family now has more than 600 silver coins. This is earned from selling books. It is the animal history book. I didn't expect so many people to read it."

Hu Wei also received a salary from the imperial court, and the young master of the crown prince was a senior member of the first rank. In addition to the salary from the Taiyuan Hospital, Hu Changxiang also received a salary from the hereditary Jinyiwei Town Fushi. This hereditary salary came down from generation to generation. Five generations and die.

"Managing the house well." Hu Yan praised indifferently.

In fact, I know why Zhu Qiyu and Empress Dowager Wu live outside the palace, and there is another person who does not live in the palace, and that is Xiang Wang Zhu Zhanqian who presided over the Tatar kingship in Daningwei.

Xiang Wang Zhu Zhanqian left the capital only in the fourth year of Xuande, and he was in Changsha Mansion. He knew Zhu Qiyu who was born in the third year of Xuande very well, and even went to hold the child.

After Zhu Zhanqian left the capital, he immediately changed his appearance, his complexion became much more rosy, no matter how strong the wind and sand outside the Great Wall, it was not as terrifying as the unhealthy wind and evil spirit in the court.

Zhu Zhanqian didn't have to live the life of supervising the country where he was afraid of being misunderstood by his majesty and being framed by courtiers. This man relaxed, and his energy and spirit immediately changed, and he was full of energy.

With a broad heart and a fat body, Zhu Zhanqian has gained a few catties, and loses ten catties every time he is in charge of the country. If he is not the emperor's uncle, he would not be willing to do this kind of drudgery if he was beaten to death.

Well done, shouldn't you be the emperor's Yizhao offering?

If you don't do a good job, literati and inkmen will scold you with all kinds of eccentricities and sticks, no matter how ugly the scolding is.

"Changping Marquis Yang Jun took the Siyong Regiment Battalion to suppress bandits again. Changping Marquis came to Tatar, either to suppress bandits, or on the way to suppress bandits. Are there so many bandits in this land?" Luo Bingzhong asked. Zhu Zhanqian poured a cup of tea.

He is the chief minister of Prince Xiang's mansion, Zhu Zhanqian's aide, and the two of them are close friends, so naturally there is no need to be so restrained in speaking.

"Hey, you don't understand this. If there are no bandits, don't you suppress them? Don't you hear the sound of horseshoes outside these rugs? Do you believe that there will be horse bandits all over the place tomorrow?" King Xiang shook his head and said. : "This is deterrence."

Only those who can hear and see the military are the only ones. If you can't see the Ming army, how can the Tatars obediently accept the kingship of the Ming?

It's not that Wang Hua is treating guests to dinner. Wang Hua is conducting political activities for the purpose of completely assimilating or even destroying the other party's culture. How can there be so much politeness and tenderness?

This is life and death.

Just like this, there have been several civil disturbances in Tatars in the past few years, but they were all quickly quelled by the Ming army, and no disturbances occurred. If the Ming army did not suppress bandits every day, then the Tatars would There are horse bandits all over the mountains and plains.

"The bandits are being suppressed every day. This banditry has been suppressing for several years. Even the birds in the mountains have been suppressed. This man eats horse chews, which is not a small amount. Your Majesty is really rich, and he can afford it all." As soon as the Fourth Military Battalion left, the Four Bravery Battalion came up." Luo Bingzhong said with emotion.

Zhu Zhanqian said very firmly: "Your Majesty is training soldiers, do you know?"

"What Ming Dynasty lacks most is cavalry, and now it is making up for this shortcoming. Cavalry is good, but it is expensive. It is expensive to build, expensive to maintain, expensive to use, and even injured, old, and funerals are expensive."

Yang Jun also had nothing to do, he was hunting around, and Da Ming was still training cavalry, the target of which was naturally the Wala people far away in the sky.

Did the Oirats escape from Daming's reckoning when they moved westward?

If the blood revenge of Tumubao is not avenged, how can the souls of the dead underground rest in peace?

What can His Majesty use to wash away the shame of being sent to the city by soldiers at the beginning of his ascension to the throne?

Luo Bingzhong seemed to be a little confused and said: "Then, isn't our Daming a firecracker team? That guy, three rows of ammunition, aiming, and shooting, isn't this cavalry a living target? Come here, isn't it lined up to be shot? What kind of cavalry are you training?" .”

"Hum, it's very superficial." Zhu Zhanqian said with a snort and disdain, "Lao Luo, we've been together for almost ten years, so don't talk nonsense about things you don't know from now on."

"You are a scholar, have you ever shot a firecracker? It looks fierce, but the cavalry rushed over so fast, how many shots can you shoot? Being rushed into the firecracker team by the cavalry is terrifying."

Cavalry is still the most dangerous and expensive weapon to break the formation, but it is extremely powerful. Of course, Zhu Zhanqian has no military talent, and his talent is all about saving his life.

Zhu Zhanqian saw the appearance of cavalry charging with his own eyes, the sound of horseshoes rushing like thunder, and the smoke and dust covered the sky and the sun, and the soul was taken away. Then the governor Yang Jun told him that when there were only 1000 people, Zhu Zhan Zhan Qian fell silent.

Zhu Zhanqian later came to see the million-dollar army horse farm grazing. It seemed that thousands of horses ran together. Zhu Zhanqian didn't feel scared. After thinking about it for a while, it was not surprising that this sensory difference appeared.

Horses are the best horses and the best horses. Soldiers are the most valiant and skilled soldiers. Armaments are the weapons that have been tempered and tried to kill people. The combination of these three things is the most frightening.

"I didn't say this, but some rumor officials in the court said it. They said that His Highness is in Daningwei. He should follow the example of King Yan. Suppressing bandits every day is to support the bandits, and training cavalry is to wait for death. , Iron hooves are stepping on the capital." Luo Bingzhong then said.

The others were in the Great Ningwei, and the Ming army's suppression of bandits relied entirely on cavalry, spying on news, and all relying on the night to collect intelligence, otherwise the Ming army would be deaf and blind, and they would not know that they were made into dumplings.

What he was talking about was the point of view of the imperial court. King Xiang wanted to imitate what happened to King Yan back then, and stay in Daningwei and wait for the next day to enter the capital.

"Put his bastard fart!" Zhu Zhanqian stood up abruptly, pointed at himself with tears in his eyes and said, "I've already arrived at Daningwei, so I won't let Gu go, right? Gu will write a letter to His Majesty tomorrow." , go to Sichuan and Tibet, I see hiding in Sichuan and Tibet, who else can fart like this!"

"Gu knows the destiny, and the Yan Palace also knew the destiny back then! If Prince Yiwen is still there, if it is not for the fact that Lord Jianwen is not deceiving people too much, Yan Mansion is guilty of fighting this fate?"

"A group of long-tongued ghosts who only know how to bark and howl!"

Rebellion is a joke?I haven't seen enough jokes about Nan Ya's imperial court, want to see Zhu Zhanqian's jokes?

To rebel is to fight for the way, and to fight with His Majesty in the field that His Majesty is best at is to make a bunch of jokes, isn't it living a joke?

He, Zhu Zhanqian, is the owner of three Qigong cards, and he is also the only clan member who has a Qigong card so far!

Zhu Zhanqian lost his temper for quite a while, but he lost his temper and sat down quietly again, slowly calming down.

Luo Bingzhong asked in a daze: "Your Highness, are you not angry?"

Zhu Zhanqian patted his clothes and said: "The reason is very simple. What the courtiers say is up to the courtiers. As long as His Majesty ignores them, Gu will still be the most honorable uncle of the Ming Dynasty."

"If Your Majesty doesn't believe in Gu, even if the courtiers don't say it, it's better for Gu to hang himself and leave it to the face."

"It's useless to be angry with these sour literati alone."

Luo Bingzhong then suddenly said: "Your Highness, yesterday His Majesty specially sent someone to deliver winter clothes, in case His Highness would be frozen in the Great Ningwei, His Majesty also rewarded a lot of goods as a gift for cousins ​​and relatives."

"Gold and silver are common things, but this winter clothes is the friendship between relatives." Zhu Zhanqian patted his clothes again, smiling all over his face.

His Majesty still remembers him, that's enough.

Luo Bingzhong shook his fingers a few times, and after careful consideration, he said: "Your Highness, someone found out that I came here. It is said that there has been a trend in the capital recently, saying that Your Majesty is the legacy of the Han Palace."

"It's too long for the old birthday star to hang himself? It's because His Highness is the legacy of the Han Dynasty, and they rebelled! They dare not rebel and say that..." Zhu Zhanqian sneered, and soon frowned and said: "No, this matter Not right."

"Emotions are still a series, waiting for Gu here!"

Zhu Zhanqian recalled that the demonic wind of emotion blew up, and what he wanted was not His Majesty's throne, but Zhu Zhanqian's life.

Zhu Zhan said angrily: "Look at the tricks of these scholars, one ring after another, one after another, and then look at you, you are also a Jinshi, why can't you think of such a detrimental trick?" Trick!"

"It's really detrimental!"

Zhu Zhanqian said with a serious expression: "It's amazing, this kind of messy palace is so dense, it's forbidden to sit down, but it can't help but let the wind make chaos, and then add that King Xiang wants to seize the throne and follow the example of King Yan."

"High, really high."

Chapter 829 What is destiny?

In terms of destiny, does King Xiang know who the destiny belongs to?

Regardless of His Majesty's background, His Majesty sitting in that position is undoubtedly, unquestionably, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, who is of the blood of the former Emperor.

Can this kind of gossip and rumors about the emperor damage His Majesty's prestige?

No.

Luo Bingzhong knew it, Zhu Zhanqian knew it, Zhu Qiyu knew it, and the courtiers of the Ming Dynasty who were well versed in political struggles in the court naturally knew that the reason they wanted to spread rumors like this was to cut off one of His Majesty's arms. His Royal Highness.

In this way, until the prince is still unable to preside over the government, the emperor of Ming Dynasty has to stay obediently in the imperial city, unable to go anywhere.

This is still the sequelae of His Majesty's southern tour. Can't deal with His Majesty, and can't deal with you, His Highness King Xiang?

Zhu Zhanqian sat down slowly, narrowing his eyes and thinking.

Luo Bingzhong said anxiously: "This is imminent, why is Your Highness not in a hurry? This, this, this, what should I do?"

"No hurry." The old god Zhu Zhanqian said quite calmly: "Your Majesty is not Jianwen Jun. Is it so easy to fool?"

"Gu believes in His Majesty, just as His Majesty believes in Gu."
