Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 198
Yan Zhenzhi, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, impeached Zhan Hui, a heavenly official from the Ministry of Officials. This incident caused an uproar almost instantly.

Although the princes were summoned to return to the capital, this incident did worry many civil and military nobles for a time, and they had also played it.But this incident did not cause much disturbance. His Majesty the Emperor felt that this was a family matter, but because he was old and missed his children and grandchildren, he called all the princes into the palace, that's all.

And it was obvious that His Majesty the Emperor Taisun did not object, and even some members of the East Palace team hinted at it intentionally or unintentionally, but the Emperor Taisun did not express it.

All this can also explain a lot of attitudes. The Donggong team has also gained confidence. It seems that some things are beyond Taisun's control. It is simply that Taisun doesn't care about some things. Of course, there is nothing to say.

However, Yan Zhenzhi impeached the heavenly officials of the Ministry of Officials. If it was said that there was no order from the emperor's grandson, no one would dare to believe this matter.After all, the present emperor grandson is not yet the emperor, even if there is strife in the officialdom now, it shouldn't be that the emperor grandson's important team is smart about some major issues, and the emperor's grandson team can't afford losses.

Zhan Hui was very panicked, but then he gained confidence. He was not afraid of the shadow slanting, so naturally he didn't need to worry about unwarranted impeachment.

The emperor's grandson may instruct Yan Zhenzhi to impeach Zhan Hui, but this does not mean that the emperor's will can ignore everything.Not to mention that some civil officials themselves do not want the imperial power to be too strong, and it is also because of Yan Zhenzhi's background that some orthodox civil officials look down on them, so naturally there is a lot of wrestling about this matter.

Zhu Xiongying, who was expressionless, just listened quietly, and it seemed that he didn't intend to get involved in some things immediately.Let the court civil and military continue to quarrel, and just go to the fight when it is suitable. He and Lao Zhu are also obviously fighting sideways.

I can't get a clue out of arguing all at once, but there is nothing to care about, just be more patient.

Back in the East Palace, Zhu Xiongying talked with Xu Miaoqing for a while, and then went to Lian Qiongqiong's side.

Lian Qiongqiong, who had a big belly, carefully supported her stomach and stood up, "Welcome Your Highness."

"Okay, let's sit down." Zhu Xiongying walked forward quickly, supported Lian Qiongqiong and said, "I hope you will give me a daughter, so that I can have both children and feel at ease."

Lian Qiongqiong showed some smiles and asked again, "His Highness really wants a daughter?"

"You don't even look at Wenyin Duotao, a kid is enough." Zhu Xiongying laughed, and then said, "Tomorrow, the grandson concubine will give the order, let the mother-in-law enter the palace, and talk to you."

It is said that once entering the palace gate is as deep as the sea, this is not a joke.It is almost impossible for Lian Qiongqiong to see her family now.Unless you get some will, unless it's some special moments, it's really hard to see.

In fact, Xu Miaoqing presided over birthday banquets or summoning wives, etc.As a side concubine, Lian Qiongqiong, although she can occasionally help out as a helper, but all of this is just a helper, she is not the person in charge after all.

Zhu Xiongying, who was in a good mood, put his arms around Lian Qiongqiong and talked for a while, and he seemed to be the same as Lian Qiongqiong.

Most of the time what happened in the Eastern Palace would not be reported.It's just that sometimes some information is released intentionally or unintentionally, and many people can know it at this time, and probably have some guesses.

For example, Lao Zhu, after hearing some news, said to himself, "This child, Yinger, has been very thoughtful since he was a child!"

Then she looked at Shuangquan and ordered, "The grandson's side concubine is virtuous and virtuous, and her father, Lianzi Ning, has done a good job in teaching. Give Lianzi Ning a Feiyu suit, and give his wife a golden embroidered cloud and xia pattern."

If the flying fish suit is nothing, then this embroidered golden embroidered Yunxia Zhai pattern is obviously different.This is the xiapei of a married woman. Normally, it is only decent for a second-rank married woman. It is unusual for Lian Zining's wife to dress like this, and it is beyond the reach.

It's just that Lao Zhu deliberately made an order, and it's hard for ordinary people to say anything, not to mention that there are very good excuses and reasons for this.

Lian Zining's daughter is the grandson's side concubine. When the grandson's side concubine seems to be in love with the grandson's side concubine, when the grandson's side concubine looks virtuous and virtuous and abides by women's virtues, her parents can certainly be honored by it. .

Lian Zining, this is also going to be rejected by some civil servants, and some civil servants who pretend to be noble will probably disdain to be with Lian Zining.

Lian Zining was born second in the list, such an orthodox civilian background, he is actually going to develop in the direction of a "sycophant".At least from the looks of it now, Lian Zining wants father to daughter.

And rewarding Lian Zining at this time is easy to make people think too much.Although Lian Zining is still only the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, it is hard to guarantee that some people will think that this may be a signal that Lian Zining will replace Zhan Hui as Minister of the Ministry of Rites.

With some smoke bombs, Lian Zining still has some effect. It's not so easy to guess what Lao Zhu and Xiao Zhu are thinking.

The Sacred Heart is unpredictable. This is probably some of the thoughts of Lao Zhu and Zhu Xiongying. They may and will indeed send out some strong signals on some things.But some signals may not be the most accurate and direct, which probably requires some people to guess.

It is very important to figure out the holy will, and it is not good for someone who is too smart to imitate Yang Xiu.But if you don’t get the hang of it, that won’t work either.

Zhan Hui didn't seem to understand the situation, and he still didn't seem to understand why Yan Zhenzhi impeached him.This made Zhu Xiongying a little disappointed. He felt that if Zhan Hui continued to do this, he might just be wasting everyone's patience, which was simply a way to kill.

There was a lot of noise in the court, and many civil servants thought that he was from a famous family, and his father, Zhan Tongguan, sent a letter to the Minister of the Ministry of Officials.Such a famous family is talented and diligent in managing affairs. This is an absolute famous minister, and this is also the "conscience" of civil servants.

After Li Shanchang, Yang Xian, Wang Haiyang, Liu Ji and others left the court successively, Ming also lacked some real leaders in the literary world.But now, if even Zhan Hui loses the opportunity to gain a foothold in the imperial court, the power of Ming Dynasty's civil official group will inevitably be hit harder, and Daming's conscience in the literary world will also be lost.

Zhu Xiongying was very upset, and he could feel that Lao Zhu had actually lost his patience. This was simply Zhan Hui's way of killing him.

Arriving at the Wenhua Palace, Zhu Xiongying saw his 'father-in-law' Lian Zining, "Father-in-law..."

Lian Zining immediately knelt down, a little terrified, "Your Highness, I dare not be a minister."

Well, Zhu Xiongying didn't intend to force it.In such a feudal dynasty, it was normal for Lian Zining to be so sincere and fearful.Don't say that he is only the father of a side concubine, even if he is the main wife, once he becomes a crown princess or empress, his status will need to be changed at that time, and the distinction between monarch and minister is still very obvious.

"The post of Minister of the Ministry of Rites really has to be chosen." Zhu Xiongying cut straight to the point and said to Lian Zining, "That position is very special. A few years ago, the imperial grandfather did not want to choose the official of the Ministry of Officials. You probably understand what the imperial grandfather meant. .”

Lian Zining nodded, extremely respectful, "I understand."

Lao Zhu, a workaholic, is like this, especially after the removal of Xiangquan, Lao Zhu is often unwilling to choose even six ministers.The Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Rites did not have ministers, but other people served concurrently, which was also the norm in the Hongwu Dynasty.

Zhu Xiongying didn't hide much, and continued, "Shangshu Zhan and his son are both Shangshu, and they are in charge of the selection of civil servants, examinations, and honors. It's just that now that the charter is in place, it's probably a bit inappropriate for the father and son to be in charge of the selection and examination of civil servants."

Lian Zining suddenly understood, it seems that this is the root cause of the impeachment of today's officials.The emperor was suspicious, and the emperor's grandson was also more jealous. This meant that Zhan Hui was going to be completely driven out of the court.

Seeing that Lian Zining didn't speak, Zhu Xiongying continued, "I hope my father-in-law will go and talk to him, and he will be awarded the title of official. It is also a good thing to go back to Wuyuan to be raised, to train younger generations, and to open a school."

Zhu Xiongying has arranged Zhan Hui's retirement life. He still looks very humane and very particular.

Lian Zining was stunned for a moment, and then he became a little happy. "The minister leads the order!"

It was not so easy to be an official in the Hongwu Dynasty, especially for such high-ranking officials and dignitaries, it was basically impossible to retreat from the court, and Lao Zhu simply did not allow such a thing to happen.

In Lao Zhu's view, since he chooses to be an official, he must work hard.There are only two possibilities for leaving the court, one is to die old and take office, and the other is to be purged.

It is impossible to become an official and to be honored.Taking Lao Zhu's salary is basically equivalent to signing a contract of sale, which is a lifetime thing.

In fact, Zhan Hui is not bad now, at least he got the chance to be honored.This is just 60 years old, and he can still take care of his life and entertain his grandchildren when he goes home. This can be regarded as an extremely rare treatment in the Hongwu Dynasty.If you go home and raise them for a few years, it can be regarded as a means of seeking promotion for future generations.

After Lian Zining left, Zhu Xiongying called Song Zhong, "I'll ask someone to send a letter to the Minister of the Ministry of Officials. This Lord Shang Shu is also a good official. It's just that he has been busy with official duties for so many years, and he has no respect for his children. Is this the reason for the lack of discipline?"

Song Zhong said hastily, "Zhan Hui's second son has corrupt morals, behaves wildly, and talks a lot."

"You don't need to tell me about these things, as long as the Shangshu understands." Zhu Xiongying waved his hand and said, "After finishing all this, go to Duke Wei's mansion and let him watch the wind. It's time to stand up and speak."

It's so clean and direct, Zhu Xiongying will sweep away the fallen leaves with the autumn wind for those who want to hinder his plan.If he continues to be obsessed with obsession and greedy for power and position, the next thing will probably not be so polite.

The steps have been given, so it depends on Zhan Hui's own choice, it depends on whether the person knows the fun, and it depends on whether the person knows how to advance or retreat.
