I want to be a grandson

Chapter 448 The Conspiracy Behind

In the side hall of the Jingxin Hall, Zhu Yunxi was talking with Zhu Yuanzhang.

After chatting about trifles for a while, Zhu Yunxi looked up at the sun and said, "Grandfather, grandson should retire. I have so many court affairs on my shoulders, and I don't even have the time to chat and drink tea with you. You can't do that." Blame me."

Zhu Yuanzhang heard his complaints, so he said with a smile: "You are the prince of the supervisor, and the government affairs of the court will naturally be handled by you. Why don't you send them all to us? Then you are still a supervisor!"

Zhu Yunxi snorted, and said dissatisfiedly: "Grandfather, in the past, it was fine for my grandson to share the government affairs for you. I wanted to do my best to relieve your burden, but you are good enough to pile all the tasks on me. !

You are happy to be free, helping to fold yourself in under the sun, and grandson is the only one!Are you not afraid that someone will say that you bully the younger generation? "

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and said with a smile: "What are we afraid of! We have left this family to you to be the master of the house. What are you dissatisfied with?"

"Grandpa Huang, you should be the master of the house. The grandson will beat the side drums for you. Just beat the drums to cheer you up. Don't dare to be the protagonist and sing on stage."

"Others are not qualified to be on the stage, but you are complaining! It's just a little government affairs, you, you just suffer too little, and you haven't lived a hard life..."

Zhu Yunxi pretended to be afraid of his tirade, and hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, yes, the emperor said it all! Grandson must remember it! It's getting late, grandson will leave!" He was about to get up and leave.

"Snapped!"

Zhu Yuanzhang patted him on the shoulder and pushed him back to his original position, "Don't keep going, I want to ask you, what do you think about choosing a concubine?"

Zhu Yunxi immediately showed an obedient appearance, and said, "Grandpa, marriage is always a matchmaker's word, so it is natural for the elders to make the decision. You can rest assured to leave this matter to the grandpa and grandson!"

Zhu Yuanzhang glared at him, and said angrily: "If that's the case, then why didn't you choose the concubine you were asked to choose? You even sent the roster over here. What are you worried about?"

Zhu Yunxi said with an innocent face: "Grandpa Huang, grandson wants you to be the master. Sending the roster shows more sincerity."

Zhu Yuanzhang knew that he didn't like the ladies on the roster, and this was just a way to retreat.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't point it out, and still wanted to compete secretly. If he could achieve the best result according to his own wishes, it would be good!

But once it is broken, you have to tell the truth, which is extremely unwise.

Zhu Yuanzhang turned to ask: "Jiang Yu went to the East Palace to report, how are you going to deal with those discussions outside?"

Zhu Yunxie said: "Grandfather, such problems will arise sooner or later. Now that my grandson is in charge of the country ahead of schedule, some people can't sit still. If they want to test my grandson's strength, my grandson will naturally do what they want!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded in satisfaction, stroked his beard and said, "That's right, as long as you can understand this!"

He also said: "But the rumors outside have already spread, and it won't be long before the entire Ming Dynasty will form a huge criticism, so you don't worry about people's fearful words?"

Zhu Yunxi replied: "Grandfather, grandson is not a saint, so why don't you know the power of people's words? There are too many cases of people in history being slandered and splashed with dirty water by those who claim to be clean.

But the grandson is still young, and he has plenty of time and energy to deal with them, so Grandpa Huang doesn't have to worry, the grandson has his own measure. "

Zhu Yuanzhang's face darkened, and he said: "They thought we were old, that the prince was young, and that we were afraid of any trouble, so they would let them do it, thinking about stroking the tiger's beard,

See they are wrong!We are old, but not dead yet!This is not good for literati, the desire for power is too strong!Whatever you do, we support you! "

"Thank you, Grandpa Huang, but you don't have to be angry, you are just clowns who don't make any waves!"

As the emperor who has been in power for more than 20 years, Zhu Yuanzhang never looks at problems from the surface of things.

Since he was able to suppress those nobles who were born and died with him,
Since he can plow the civil official group over and over again like a plow court sweeping holes, and finally concentrate all the power of the court in his own hands, how can he be so easily deceived!
And Zhu Yunxi knew it in his heart.

Is this the gentry and literati discussing the selection of concubines?
On the surface, it is indeed true, but looking deeper, the problem is not in the selection of concubines.

And the power struggle between the gentry and the imperial power!

In every dynasty, there will be struggles between the scholar-bureaucrat class and the imperial power, but this kind of struggle is usually relatively mild, neither bloodshed nor earth-shattering.

There are too many such examples, and there are endless transactions in the middle.

Take Zhang Pu Zhang Gandu, the founder of Fushe in the late Ming Dynasty, who was born in Taicang, Jiangsu, as an example.

He was the founder of Fushe, who had great influence at that time. Before he passed the imperial examination, he had already done countless major things, from organizing riots to attacking government offices, and setting fire to the city.

He also participated in the anti-tax riot in Suzhou, wrote "The Tombstone of Five People", denounced the eunuch party, and became famous all over the world. In the first year of Chongzhen, he "organized the masses" to expel Gu Bingqian, the backbone of the eunuch party.

Even the eunuchs dare to deal with him, one can imagine his courage and the strength behind him!

Since then, the momentum of Fushe has shaken the government and the public. It is known as "the collection of spring and autumn, and the way to be well-dressed", "If you go out of the city, you will know that there are Fushe people."

Its influence spreads all over the north and south provinces, and everywhere it goes, it is empty for thousands of people, with countless fans and followers.

Zhang Pu was extremely fanatical in the court regime, and he was also very ambitious and cunning.

After he became famous, he refused to step by step to become an official through seniority and promotion. Instead, he pursued greatness and tried to reach the sky in one step. He controlled the literati and the examination room by recruiting disciples, and finally achieved the goal of controlling the political power.

And once it really made him succeed!
Many people may think it is ridiculous, thinking that he is just a scholar without fame, official position, and no rights.

How can there be such a big impact? !
But in fact, he can indeed influence the court and influence the court!
It is not an exaggeration to say "the prime minister in white"!
Because at that time, Zhou Yanru, the chief assistant of the dynasty, was held by him and had to obey his orders.

Once, Zhang Pu even gave Zhou Yanru a brochure full of people's names, some wanted to be used, and some wanted to be dismissed from office, but Zhou Yanru actually did all of them without daring to disobey.

Think about it, a mere scholar can have such a great energy, is it because of him alone?
You must know that in those few years, many Fushe members ascended to the ranks one after another, and their voices moved the government and the public.

And many civil and military officials, scholar-bureaucrats in the court, and middle school students in schools all claimed to be under Zhang Pu's family, and "more than tens of thousands of people followed him."

Therefore, Zhang Pu did not rely on his own strength, but represented the scholar-bureaucrat class. Almost the entire class was fighting against the imperial power and the court, so his influence was so great.

Didn't Emperor Chongzhen at that time know about it?

But even if he knows, there is nothing he can do, because what he is facing is a huge class, and this cannot be resolved with a single order from you.

But Zhu Yunxi is not afraid, there will always be struggles between the scholar-bureaucrat class and the imperial power,

Since it will happen sooner or later, why not take advantage of the time when they are not yet strong, and when Zhu Yuanzhang is still alive and able to protect himself, and kill them fiercely!
Therefore, the voices outside the discussion, many people just use the foot binding as an excuse to get the royal family to compromise.

Zhu Yuanzhang asked suspiciously: "Tell us the truth, do you really dislike women with bound feet, or do you have any ideas to flatter us?"

Zhu Yunxie smiled wryly and said, "Grandpa Huang, to sacrifice your grandson's happiness just to flatter you, isn't the price too high?
However, Grandpa Huang, although my grandson is at your disposal for choosing a concubine, there is one thing, you must not choose a woman with bound feet for me, otherwise my grandson would rather regret the marriage than agree! "

Zhu Yuanzhang glared at him, and said angrily: "Fart! Can we choose a foot-binding for you? Dogs can't spit out ivory!"

"Hey, grandson, isn't he afraid that you will compromise with them..."

"Let's compromise? Thank you for being able to tell! You are deliberately angry with us!"

"No no, absolutely no!"

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and scolded for a while, and then said: "In the future, you can also transfer Jin Yiwei and order Jin Yiwei to do things. Since you want to supervise the country, don't try to be lazy!"

Zhu Yunxi was a little surprised. Now that the affairs of the imperial court were left to the East Palace, Zhu Yuanzhang was extremely free, but as long as he had Jin Yiwei in his hands, he would be able to know everything that happened in Daming.

If Jin Yiwei's power is handed over again, then he really has completely delegated power!
So he shirked and said: "Grandfather, you should keep the Jinyiwei, grandson is not used to it."

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't understand what he meant, and said: "Don't worry, Jin Yiwei will still report to us, but from now on you also have the right to transfer, just tell them to do things."

"So...thank you, Grandpa Huang!"

Exit the Jingxin Hall and return to the Wenhua Hall of the East Palace.

Jiang Yu was already waiting outside, saluted and said: "My minister pays homage to His Royal Highness, Your Highness, Wanan!"

Zhu Yunxi hummed lightly, knowing that since he came, he must have received Zhu Yuanzhang's order.

Now that I am the half master of Jin Yiwei, I can naturally raise some points, so I said: "Commander Jiang, the efficiency of your Jin Yiwei should also be improved.

If you continue to be so slow-witted, the lonely king will doubt whether you Jin Yiwei will be able to perform your duties faithfully, and whether you will be the eyes and ears of the royal family! "

Jiang Yu secretly knelt down on the ground, kowtowed again and again and said: "My minister is ineffective, please punish me, Your Highness."

Zhu Yunxi ignored him, but ordered: "Now there are some rumors outside, ask your people to make a record, and see who is making trouble, understand?"
