I am the king of the dead

"Yes, no more, no less." Zhu Jianshen replied.

After hearing this, Empress Dowager Sun said with a sense of relief: "That's good, that's good, that's good, the Ai family is exhausted, so I'm going back to the palace."

"Grandmother." Zhu Jianshen sent Empress Dowager Sun out of the house, and it was not until Empress Dowager Sun's car turned a corner that Zhu Jianshen returned to the new palace.

In fact, Zhu Jianshen also knew that the five caramel candies didn't have any meaning. At first, His Majesty just gave them some candies to coax the children, but it became a custom, and some people couldn't fall asleep if they didn't reward them.

Zhu Jianshen rode his horse and went to the martial arts hall. Everyone in the capital knew that this handsome young man was like a red cloud. He should be called Yi Wang Zhu Jianshen now.

Right now, in the streets and alleys of the capital, there is a strange speculation that Zhu Jianshen is His Majesty's eldest prince. This kind of rumor is so precise that people who say it are stunned.

Even Zhu Qiyu thought about it seriously after hearing it, and he was sure that it was not a young romantic history, let alone a civet cat for the prince.

It can only be said that this rumor is indeed reasonable.

This rumor probably means that His Royal Highness King Tan had coveted the high position for a long time. After having an imperial heir, he became constipated and kept quiet until the news of the birth of a child came out in the palace. Sheji, now that King Yi has fulfilled his wish, he will naturally love the child he sent out even more.

The core logic of this rumor is King Tan's desire to seek great power, which will become stronger with time!

Wouldn't it be reasonable for a prince who intends to usurp the throne to bribe the maidservant in exchange for the crown prince?

Zhu Qiyu is very grateful to the storytellers in the streets and alleys and those mysterious loudspeakers who have relatives working in the palace for not portraying the changes in civil engineering as Zhu Qiyu's conspiracy to seek power.

Forget about other things, if the attribution of civil engineering and natural changes is shaped like this, Zhu Qiyu will really go crazy.

Adaptation is not nonsense, and joking is not nonsense.

"It's all messed up." Zhu Qiyu read the Tang newspaper sent by Ti Qifeng, put it aside with a sneer, and didn't deal with it.

The more forbidden this royal affair is, the more it spreads, so I can only let him go.

Zhu Qiyu pointed to the story in the Tang newspaper and said with a smile: "Xing'an, do you think this story is reasonable? It's not reasonable."

After Xing'an read it, he was also amused, but only for a while, his face was still gloomy.

"What's the matter? Who made our ancestors in the palace unhappy?" Zhu Qiyu looked at Xing'an's mood and asked suspiciously.

"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager went to Prince Yi's Mansion without edict." Xing'an's tone was tinged with coldness.

Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "When you went to Jiwangfu to announce the decree, I asked Cheng Jing to pass on the words, don't keep staring at the Queen Mother, you are willing to give your life, I am not willing."

"So, I'm thinking too much." Xing'an's expression relaxed a little.

Xing'an went to announce the decree, Zhu Qiyu asked Cheng Jing to send someone to deliver the message, Xing'an came back and returned to serve before the case, naturally he didn't know what happened, Xing'an thought it was the empress dowager's own initiative, so he planned to exchange the son.

Whether it is Xing'an or Lu Zhong, Zhu Qiyu is not willing to take it to the Empress Dowager Sun, so she can only let the Empress Dowager Sun live like this. The Empress Dowager Sun knows the destiny, and she can live in the big wind and waves until now, so don't worry too much.

In this palace, there is the ancestor Xing'an, the second ancestor Cheng Jing, and the third ancestor Li Yongchang. We are all ancestors, and the emperor will not communicate with each other when they are sent by the emperor. This is the rule in the palace.

If the emperor asked the second ancestor to manage the great ancestor, wouldn't it be troublesome for the second ancestor to communicate with the great ancestor to manage the emperor?

In the middle and late Tang Dynasty, the eunuchs messed up the government, just like that.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Yi is asking to see you." Xiao Huangmen entered the door and reported.

Chapter 863 Say one thing and do another

Zhu Jianshen respectfully kowtowed three times and kowtowed five times, knelt on the ground and said very respectfully: "My son pays homage to uncle, thank you for your kindness."

Zhu Jianshen knew that in the current political situation, Zhu Qiyu wanted his life, and it was only a matter of one word, not even talking, as long as he didn't give caramel, a bunch of people in the court who wanted to get ahead would help His Majesty settle the matter do it.

Most of the courtiers would only talk to His Majesty about Wuchang Dalun before giving up.

When all the families of the King of Han were condemned, there were not a few courtiers who stood up and defended the five permanent principles for thousands of years.

To be honest, regarding what King Jili did, Zhu Jianshen thought it was quite reasonable for him to be implicated, especially since he was a prince.

It's just that His Majesty didn't do that.

Is it necessary for His Majesty to take Zhu Jianshen's life?

In Zhu Jianshen's view, it is very necessary, because Zhu Jianshen was a prince, and the prince is a king, not a minister.

But His Majesty seems to have forgotten this.

Zhu Qiyu said with a gentle smile: "It's not a big deal, get up."

Zhu Qiyu took a test of Zhu Jianshen's homework and was very satisfied. Then he took out government affairs, especially the recent Xiao Jun and Qian Pu cases, and asked Zhu Jianshen some opinions in the process. After all, it was Zhu Jianji and Zhu Jianshen's assistant Zhu Zhanqian supervision.

Zhu Jianshen's answer was clear and logical, and his analysis was logical.

"In the final analysis, they have lost their duty. They eat the king's salary, seek their own interests, talk about benevolence, righteousness and morality, and do things that are devoid of conscience. They are to blame themselves." Zhu Jianshen said conclusively.

It is said that His Majesty is violent and murderous, but in Zhu Jianshen's view, which one of the people His Majesty killed should not be killed?

Even King Ji Li, in Zhu Jianshen's opinion, deserved to die.

Zhu Qiyu actually placed certain expectations on Xiao Xun. After all, the He Zhang recommended by Hu Xun had organized the Metropolitan Procuratorate in an orderly manner, but this Xiao Xun was a disappointment after all.

"Duty, what is duty, everyone in this world follows their duty, and there are still times when the people can't survive?" Zhu Qiyu shook his head and said, "Tell me your opinion on the eunuch's disorderly government in the middle and late Tang Dynasty."

In the original historical line, after Zhu Jianshen ascended the throne, he came up with the famous Xichang, based on the old ashes factory in front of Lingji Palace, and the famous eunuch Wang Zhi of Ming Dynasty as the admiral, Xijiji Factory appeared on the stage of history above.

Things that Jin Yiwei dare not take care of, things that the East Factory does not dare to take care of, the West Factory will take care of!

The East Factory and the West Factory belonged directly to the inner court, but not all the fans inside were eunuchs, those who were cleansed were called Jing Fans, and those who were not cleansed were all Tiqi from Jinyiwei.

Xichang is considered to be a typical case of Ming eunuchs intervening in politics since Zhu Jianshen. It is often mentioned, and it is a typical example of Zhu Jianshen's tyranny.

Zhu Qiyu asked Zhu Jianshen to talk about eunuchs intervening in politics in the middle and late Tang Dynasty, which can be regarded as an examination of history.

Zhu Jianshen considered it for a while and said: "I think that since ancient times, there has been no theory of eunuchs interfering in politics, it's just a cover-up, a pretext."

"The eunuch's intervention in politics in the middle and late Tang Dynasty should be caused by Tang Dezong's contribution to Dou Wenchang and Huo Xianming's escort, assigning them as the lieutenants of Shence, and completely handing over the power of the Shence Army to the eunuchs, but I really want to say this. The Shence Army is completely in the hands of the eunuch, so I don't think so."

"Oh? Tell me." Zhu Qiyu said with interest.

Zhu Jianshen bowed his head and said: "Uncle, Tang Shunzong has been the crown prince for 25 years. In the fourth year of No. 20, this wise and powerful man was expected by everyone. He is fully expected to lead the Tang Dynasty to rejuvenate. The crown prince with high hopes suffered a stroke."

"I can neither speak nor get up, and stay in bed all year round."

"Even Tang Shunzong, who had suffered a stroke and was unable to speak or move, still tricked the Second King Liu Liu and took back the military power of the Shence Army for a short time."

The first half of Tang Shunzong's life was brilliant.

In the fourth year of Jianzhong, Tang Dezong fled directly to avoid the menacing Jingyuan rebellion, and Tang Shunzong, who was still the prince, held the sword in the palace. Immediately the emperor.

Moreover, Tang Shunzong performed well in the political game. For example, in the case of Princess Gao, Tang Shunzong was implicated and almost abolished, but he was finally preserved.

Tang Shunzong ascended the throne after a stroke.

You must know that in the Tang Dynasty, the crown prince Li Chengqian, who was named by Tang Gaozu Li Yuan and valued by Tang Taizong Li Shimin, had a leg problem. Some people have been using this physical problem to invite Li Shimin to replace the prince.

It was precisely because of the constant voices that Li Chengqian, who was already suffering from leg problems, changed his temperament drastically. In the end, he put all his eggs in one basket, rebelled in a daze, was abolished in a daze, and died in a daze.

It was just such an emperor who had a stroke, who created the second king Liu Liu, the eunuch group that wanted to overthrow the world, and almost made it.

The second king Liu Liu is four people, namely Wang Yi, Wang Shuwen, Liu Yuxi and Liu Zongyuan.

Liu Yuxi is the Liu Yuxi who wrote "The Inscription of the Humble Room", and Liu Zongyuan is the same Liu Zongyuan who wrote "The Story of Xiaoshitan".

The two kings, Liu and Liu, were both figures in Tang Shunzong's hidden residence in the East Palace, and they were all recommended by eunuchs.

Zhu Qiyu thought about it for a while and said: "Wang Nun and Wang Shuwen are impatient in their actions. Without any foundation in the court, they hurriedly implemented the new policy and made rapid advances. As a result, they led to opposition from the officials of the feudal town and the court."

"Under the strong opposition of the feudal town, the eunuch took advantage of the situation to coerce Tang Shunzong to abdicate, which eventually led to the failure of the New Deal."

"As for Liu Yuxi and Liu Zongyuan, they are good at writing articles, and the ink used to process official documents is measured in buckets, but this Tang Shunzong himself is not very good at health."

Zhu Qiyu's evaluation was very polite. He said that Liu Yuxi and Liu Zongyuan were good at writing articles. In fact, he said that political talent is probably not enough.

Officials from Qiandi in the East Palace all have one characteristic, that is, the foundation in the court is not deep. If the foundation in the court is deep, the emperor will worry that the prince will rebel.

Wang Yu and Wang Shuwen are such people. They have no foundation in the court. After Tang Shunzong ascended the throne, they hurriedly implemented the New Deal. As a result, they offended too many people, and finally lost in the wave of opposition.

Especially offended the feudal town.

Zhu Qiyu thought of Chen Xun, if Chen Xun hadn't been nagging in his ear all day, Zhu Qiyu would not have known about the past of the second king Liu Liu, wouldn't this be a test for the school's nephew and nephew?

The nephew of the school was tested, but he couldn't even understand what the nephew said, so the situation couldn't be cleaned up.

Zhu Jianshen's meaning was very clear, but if the emperor could express his anger, the eunuch's meddling in politics would be untenable. It was just an excuse for the emperor's incompetence.

If you can't scold the emperor, you can only scold the emperor's concubines and eunuchs.

It is also due to the death of King Jili. If King Jili did not die, under the political structure of Ming Dynasty, if such scandals as eunuch rebellion happened again, Zhu Jianshen's psychological shadow would have to be added.

I don't know what Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen did. The eunuchs Cao Jixiang and Cao Qin were the only ones in the Ming Dynasty who led the rebellion under Zhu Qizhen's rule.

Zhu Jianshen thought for a while and continued to play the right way: "Wang Ni and Wang Shuwen punished corrupt officials, but in the end they themselves were corrupt officials. They built a big cash box as a bed, and they could only get in and out. If they behaved badly, they were awarded People have a handle."

"Wang Yi and Wang Shuwen wanted to take back the eunuch's military power, but they communicated with eunuch Li Zhongyan about what they wanted. This seemed to be an inversion of the eunuch, but they communicated with each other.

"Wang Yu and Wang Shuwen seem to be stern and selfless. They rejected Jiannan Xichuan Jiedu Wei Gao's plan to lead Jiannan Sanchuan, but they bowed their knees to the three towns in Hebei, and dared not speak out loudly, causing people to laugh at them. This cut down the town, dare not Treating everyone equally, only daring to treat one more favorably than another, how can we get rid of the feudal town?"

"Combined with Tang Shunzong's own poor health, it's not surprising that Yongzhen's revolution ended up being troubled by two kings and eight Sima."

Who did His Majesty employ in the Jingtai New Deal of the Ming Dynasty?

The core figure is Yu Qian, who is known for his uprightness both inside and outside the court and the public. He has served in the local government for 25 years.

In this regard, in the implementation of the New Deal, a method of examination was made, which was a little eager, and in the end there was a rebellion in the Nanya government.

The New Deal is difficult, and it is difficult to ascend to the blue sky.

However, Wang Yu and Wang Shuwen themselves had corruption issues. They eliminated dissidents by arresting corruption and fighting corruption; The vassals and towns also bully the weak and fear the hard, favoring one over another, how to convince the public?

Did Yu Qian take the opportunity to eliminate dissidents during the implementation of the New Deal and amass a lot of money?

Zhu Qiyu was puzzled and went to Yu Qian's mansion. How could Yu Qian live in poverty like a first-rank official in the court?

Later, Zhu Qiyu forced the Jiuzhong Hall into Yu Qian's hands with rhetoric, which saved the face of the Ming court.

Even a person like Yu Qian lives in such a dilapidated house, which is still rented. Where is Daming's face?

A breeze with two sleeves is a breeze with two sleeves.

In the past 11 years since Yu Qian was the head of a hundred officials, has he been in the process of implementing the New Deal, using the name of trying to get rid of Wang Zhen's remnants, to communicate with his ancestors such as Zhongguan Xing'an, Cheng Jing, and Li Yongchang?

Don't talk about communicating with the internal officials, and being unclear with the imperial concubine, even when it comes to the appointment and dismissal of officials in the capital, Yu Qian is very cautious and keeps his mouth shut. The emperor asks three questions before he is willing to say a word.

So the second king Liu Liu, the eight core figures of Yongzhen's innovation, was finally demoted to Sima. This ending is not surprising.

Zhu Qiyu has never been a person who only talks about virtue, but the virtue of the two kings is really not good.

Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "These two kings' virtues all come from Han Yu's "Shunzong Veritable Records". Han Yu and the two kings are political enemies. The two kings say one thing and do another, but in the end it still chills everyone's hearts."

"I would like to follow my uncle's instruction." Zhu Jianshen heard His Majesty's judgment and quickly agreed.

In "Records of Shun Zong", Han Yu criticized the virtues of the two kings, including some pretentious things, as a footnote that the two kings were doomed to fail, but Han Yu, Liu Yuxi and Liu Zongyuan were friends. In "Zongshilu", there is not much writing on the virtues of the two.

What Zhu Qiyu meant was that if you want to read history, you should read trends, and don't keep staring at people's virtues.

Hu Mi has no virtue, but Zhu Qiyu never thinks that Hu Mi is a courtier.

What you say is not important, what you do depends on what you do. This is the key.

Apart from Tang Shunzong's poor health, the biggest reason for the failure of the two kings was that when the two kings implemented the administrative order, they said one thing and did another, which eventually caused everyone to be dissatisfied.

"Your knowledge is very solid, I am very pleased, what reward do you want?" Zhu Qiyu asked with a smile on his face.

Zhu Jianshen hesitated and said again and again: "I've had a nanny to take care of me since I was a child, and I'm used to it, but my mother plans to send her out of the house to get married recently, so I ask my uncle for permission to keep her by my side."

"What's your name?" Zhu Qiyu still had a smile on his face.

Zhu Jianshen bowed his head and said, "My surname is Wan, and my name is Wan Zhen'er."

The smile on Zhu Qiyu's face disappeared, and what should come still came.

As Zhu Jianshen's uncle and actual guardian, Zhu Qiyu has only two words for the relationship between Zhu Jianshen and Wan Zhen'er, which is objection.

As an elder, Zhu Qiyu could not agree to this marriage no matter what.

Zhu Qiyu said calmly: "That maid who is 17 years older than you? I heard that, she will leave the palace as soon as she leaves the palace. Is it worth getting angry with your mother for such a trivial matter?"

If Zhu Jianshen had other means, he would not have asked him. Obviously, inside and outside Prince Yi's mansion, it was the Qian family who had the final say. This Qian family wanted to send Wan Zhen'er out of the palace to marry. Zhu Jianshen had no choice but to ask Zhu Qiyu. here.

Zhu Jianshen didn't expect his uncle to know the details of being 17 years older, so his uncle knew the whole story if he wanted to.

This Wan family entered the palace at the age of four, this is not because the palace maids who were drafted into the palace will be released to relatives when they reach their age, this Wan family is a maid raised in the palace and will stay in the palace for the rest of their lives.

The reason Qian wanted to send the [-]-year-old Wan out of the mansion was that the Wan and Zhu Jianshen were too close, so close that it was unusual.

At this time, Zhu Qiyu was like a stubborn parent who opposed puppy love. He only disagreed with Zhu Jianshen's request in three words.

"I implore uncle to fulfill it." Zhu Jianshen bowed and knelt on the ground.
