Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 593 Your Highness treats the people like children

  Jin Yiwei is already riding around.

   Terrified.

  Although there have been more and more refugees in Beijing recently, Jin Yiwei has already closely monitored them, but at this moment, so many people suddenly poured into Xishan, this...

The commander of Jinyiwei, Mu Bin, has already gone to the court. Xia Zheng, the leader of the Jinyiwei on duty, is dripping with cold sweat. He personally leads people to watch. On a mountain, he holds a telescope and looks down. The flow of people in all directions is mighty and overwhelming Blotted out with no end in sight.

   Behind them, the Tiqis showed panic. How many people are there? Once something changes, it is not fun. A large number of people gather, and if one is not good, it may cause a big mess.

  Although this is the outskirts of the city, it is under the feet of the emperor, but there can be no negligence in the slightest.

   "Would you please transfer the Beizhen government secretary..."

  Xia Zheng looked back, glanced at the captain, his face turned cold, and said sharply: "Confused, once there is a change, relying on Jin Yiwei, can you suppress it?"

  The school lieutenant panicked and said, "I'm humbled to death."

   "We have to adjust the Beijing camp to prevent accidents."

  The lieutenant said cautiously: "But...how can the Beijing Camp be transferred by the Beizhen Prefecture?"

  Xia Zheng rubbed his temples: "The key to the problem is here, hurry up and report."

   "But Commander..."

   "There is no delay in entering the palace to report. For this sake, don't talk about the regulations. If something happens, this official can't afford it."

Xia Zheng glanced back at the turbulent crowd again, feeling like he couldn't laugh or cry: "Take a few more people for questioning, remember, you must never take people in public, you can do it quietly, and if you gather a crowd suddenly, this The official believes that there may be other schemes behind this, and it is not as simple as just recruiting farmers."

   "Obey!"

At the same time, the **** Zhou Jin, who was in charge of Dongchang, quickly wrote a note and handed it to another eunuch: "Send your godfather immediately, don't delay for a moment, it's a step late, you are the only one who asks, The top and bottom stalls in the East Factory, the Fanzi people, etc., all cheered up."

  ...

   Respect the body hall.

For everyone, this is the most normal day in history, even for Qingliu who roll up their sleeves and want to speak out fiercely, this day is also common, after all, their lives come from The battles in the court hall and the monthly court meetings are the most common things for them to point out the country and scold the treacherous and villainous people, and there is nothing unusual about it.

  On this most ordinary day, Emperor Hongzhi was enthroned, and all the officials paid homage. Emperor Hongzhi took a meaningful look at Prince Zhu Houzhao.

   This guy doesn't even pay attention when he kneels down, he looks around with a wicked look.

  But after all...he is still his own son.

  Emperor Hongzhi actually saw that Zhu Houzhao bowed down, but turned his face away from Fang Jifan, winking at Fang Jifan.

  Fang Jifan was honest and ignored him.

  Emperor Hongzhi said: "Everyone is flat."

   All the ministers stood up.

  Emperor Hongzhi gave Liu Jian a wink.

  Liu Jian understood, and he left the class: "Today we need to discuss the Liaodong horse administration..."

   "I have something to play." Someone actually stood up.

  However, it seems that the emperors and ministers of the court are a little bit astonished.

  The first to stand up...is actually...Ouyang Zhi...

  Ouyang Zhi has always been mature and prudent, but at the same time, as an imperial attendant, he accompanied the emperor. Although he was born in Xishan Academy, the emperors and ministers of the court all praised him.

  People think that he is a model of all officials, and some even secretly think that he is the new gentleman of Hongzhi Dynasty.

  The crux of the problem is not here.

   It's what everyone expected today, Qingliu, who is bound to be the first to be impeached, you, Ouyang Zhi, are from Xishan Academy, why are you here to join in the fun?

  Emperor Hongzhi was also taken aback: "What did the Qing family say?"

  Seeing that Ouyang Zhi had something to play, Emperor Hongzhi's tone softened a bit.

Ouyang Zhi saluted and was silent for a moment: "His Royal Highness loves the people and treats the people of the world like a child. The people are all grateful to His Royal Highness. I heard that some ministers secretly slandered the Prince and said all kinds of embarrassments about the Prince. I... about this , I don’t take it seriously, today’s performance is to set the sight and listen squarely, lest there will be any younger generation who criticize and slander His Highness the Crown Prince.”

  As soon as this remark came out, the court was in an uproar.

   Love the people and treat the people like children, isn’t that what Yao and Shun did?

  This Ouyang Zhi, look at your thick eyebrows and big eyes, you are usually honest and honest, as expected, there is no good thing in Xishan Academy, so you can say such things.

  Yang Tinghe sneered in the crowd, it seems that His Royal Highness and Fang Jifan pre-empted the attack to avoid being criticized.

  Reliable this... Can you stop the people of the world?

   This is shooting yourself in the foot.

   "Second minister!" Jiang Chen and Liu Wenshan left the class.

   "Second minister." Wang Shouren left the class.

  The four disciples in the court all stood up and expressed their positions.

  Xishan Academy is Fang Jifan's disciple and grandson, and also a princeling. This is almost beyond doubt.

Emperor Hongzhi stared at these four people, and in his heart, he admired them quite a bit. At this time, the crown prince was already on the cusp of the storm, and these four guys dared to stand up. Discussions, ignoring Qingliu's words, if you stand up, if you are not good, your reputation may be bad. Scholars value reputation the most, and some people regard it as more important than their own lives.

  Emperor Hongzhi asked the case and nodded.

   But this time, it was like stabbing a hornet's nest.

  It doesn’t matter what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is like, but touting the Crown Prince like this, what is it called, is it disgusting, and it is unethical. Daming has no tradition of touting the Son of Heaven, and people will scold him. Who likes sycophants.

"Your Majesty, I have something to say..." Yang Tinghe stood up slowly with a serious expression on his face, "His Royal Highness is the crown prince. How can he be close to the people and love the people before the world? I am the prince's teacher. I dare not slander His Royal Highness. His Royal Highness is smart. When I was teaching the prince to study, I also had some emotion. It's just that in the court, there are some treacherous villains, surrounded by His Royal Highness, and praised him as capable. People; loyal words are harsh to the ear, good medicine is bitter, and it has always been the same in ancient times. Why are there still people who can’t see clearly in this world? Your Highness is a man who can be made. He compares him to Yao and Shun, and tomorrow he will say that he is a holy king, Your Majesty... treacherous ministers and thieves, who are around the side of the prince. Younger, more and more infected by them, I fear that His Royal Highness will become more and more tyrannical, and don't want to study the classics of sages, which is absurd and ineffective. , abusing authority, slandering Zhongliang, heinous crimes, our Daming society is in danger."

As he spoke, he burst into tears, bowed down, and choked with sobs: "I am not talented. I am a minister of Zhan Shifu, and I teach the prince with etiquette and righteousness. However, the prince is confused by traitors, and I am terrified. Today, I would rather be smashed to pieces than die." Expose the traitor."

  This statement has been made.

   All the ministers were in an uproar.

  His Royal Highness is good, but there are bad people around him.

  As a former emperor's teacher, he was so heartbroken to report this here, and seeing Yang Tinghe's tears streaming down his face, everyone couldn't help but feel touched.

  Emperor Hongzhi frowned slightly, and looked at Fang Jifan.

  Of course he didn’t agree with Yang Tinghe’s words, he was the one who promoted Fang Jifan to the side of the prince. Doesn’t this mean that even I myself became a traitor?

However, quite a few ministers were moved by their intentions, and some people came out of the class: "His Royal Highness is the foundation of the country. I have never heard of it. If you are surrounded by despicable villains, you are full of flatterers. You can make His Royal Highness learn from the benevolent king." Art of..."

  Fang Jifan's face was a little ugly.

  These scholars are very powerful. At this time, even if he flatters him, he can't match them. His eyes are full of sharpness, and he looks at the censor who stands up.

The imperial censor was speaking out of righteousness, and he was fearless in his heart, but when he touched Fang Jifan's eyes, he felt strange, and his heart trembled, and he became a little timid again, but he still said righteously: "I don't mean to say, the prince Marquis Dingyuan beside him is a traitor, but all the Hanlin and scholars in Xishan Academy are doing their best to serve the prince. If things go on like this, the common people in the world, thousands of people, dare to entrust the East Palace, please Your Majesty Know everything."

  Fang Jifan is a villain, a very pure kind. He has no ability to make people dismissed from office, but there are always a thousand ways to torture you. Just like the famous Wang Bushi.

   These Qingliu are actually not afraid of being dismissed from office, nor are they afraid of the emperor spanking their butts. To a certain extent, the court staff is the glory of the ministers. If they are not beaten by the emperor, they will feel that something is missing in their lives.

  Thus, when the censor reached a critical moment, he was still discouraged.

   Forget it, don't provoke Fang Jifan, just rub against Xishan Academy.

   "Second minister..."

   "The minister also seconded!"

   One shift after another.

They are worried about the education of His Highness the Crown Prince. The princes have always been educated in the Zhan Shi Mansion, but this time, the emperor unexpectedly created a Zhen Guo Mansion. The Prince even went to teach people to read and teach It is still so-called new learning.

  This is a bit intolerable.

  Although occasionally, some people will write a letter with worry and talk about this matter, but His Majesty often keeps these memorials and ignores them.

   Today, taking advantage of this time's policy discussion, people have found a vent.

   More and more people stood up.

  One, two, three...In this full court hall, more than half of the courtiers kneeled down.

"When His Royal Highness still needs to study, he doesn't think about studying; when he still needs to learn the art of mastering kings, he is said to be just chasing Yao and Shun before he learns. Your Majesty, this is not a long-term way. All the people in the world, I hope that His Highness the Crown Prince will become a sage king who is knowledgeable and reasonable, and educates the world with kingly ways, instead of the Crown Prince who is complacent just relying on the praise of some treacherous villains today, I ask Your Majesty to be careful."

  ………

   Today is five shifts. I am very tired from writing this chapter. I have recovered from my illness and recovered a little. Let’s continue, as usual, five shifts every day, rain or shine.
