Chapter 353
"Kim Hyun!"

"You are arrogant!"

In the Hall of Mental Cultivation, when Jin Xuan's deafening question blurted out, Wei Zhongxian jumped out and scolded him as if his tail had been stepped on, and turned around to bow to Zhu Youxiao after the scolding:

"Long live, this servant is asking for orders to take down Jin Xuan, the arrogant person who is alienating the Tian family!"

"Long live, please take Jin Xuan down and send him to prison!" Wang An had to follow suit.

It's just that the opening of the two of them did not arouse Zhu Youxiao's actions. Zhu Youxiao just leaned on the chair, looked at Jin Xuan in the hall, and suddenly asked:
"Both of them will lock you up, aren't you afraid?"

"Why are you afraid?" Jin Xuan straightened his back and said without hesitation:
"Since I dare to say these words, I will naturally dare to bear the consequences."

"Aren't you afraid of death?" Zhu Youxiao was very curious about why a person like Jin Xuan could show his ambition through death.

"Although the body is dead, the name can hang on the bamboo and silk!" Jin Xuan responded to Zhu Youxiao, and bowed:
"The king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die, but if Long live can listen to three points of the minister's words today, the personal death of the minister is insignificant in terms of the country."

Jin Xuan's words silenced the hall again, neither Wang An nor Wei Zhongxian dared to speak, because they saw a problem, that is, the emperor was too angry.

"The face is a direct remonstrance, but it is actually a deadly remonstrance..." Zhu Youxiao talked eloquently:

"If I send you to prison, or kill you, it will be a matter of pain for relatives and happiness for enemies."

After all, Zhu Youxiao looked at Wang An and Wei Zhongxian: "Who do you think he is?"

"It's just a villain who alienated the Tian family!" Wei Zhongxian insisted on Jin Xuan's alienation of Zhu Youxiao and Zhu Youjian, but Wang An said:

"From my servant's point of view, this person is arrogant, if he is not a madman, he is a straight person..."

"Straight people..." Hearing Wang An's words, Zhu Youxiao smiled:
"People say that there are only two kinds of people in the world who can be trusted, one is stupid and the other is straight."

"Stupid people are stupid but have no insight, straight people are smart but have no insight."

"It's just that in my opinion, you, Jin Xuan, can't be regarded as a straight person, because every word and every word of yours is playing tricks."

Zhu Youxiao's words did not make Jin Xuan flustered, and he continued:
"Are you forcing me to depose you, or are you forcing me to kill you?"

"I want to know what is your intention for doing this."

"Chen..." Jin Xuan lowered his eyes and said after pondering:

"I have nothing to say..."

"..." Looking at Jin Xuan, Zhu Youxiao was silent for a moment, and then said:
"Wang An, what did you say to deal with Jin Xuan?"

"The slave said, Jin Xuan is arrogant, he should be imprisoned and let him reflect on himself..."

Wang An understood that the reason why the emperor did not make the decision himself was to prevent the foreign ministers from thinking that there was a rift in the relationship between King Qi and the emperor.

As for how to deal with Jin Xuan, it is most appropriate for him, an eunuch of the Qi royal party, to speak up.

"Do as you say..." After Zhu Youxiao finished speaking, he looked down at the memorabilia on the desk case, picked up one and started to deal with it while Wang An saluted in return.

Seeing this, Jin Xuan left the Hall of Mental Cultivation without Wang An's opening after bowing, and followed the Jingjun at the gate to Jinyiwei's prison.

Even if Jin Xuan didn't go to court, and the emperor didn't make a decree, the affairs of the inner court could not escape the eyes and ears of the courtiers.

When Jin Xuan was imprisoned by the Jingjun, the news had already spread among the officials.

Most of the officials were a little elusive about this, and even wondered if someone ordered Jin Xuan to act like this.

Only a small number of officials understand the deep meaning of Jin Xuan's actions.

"I don't want to go to school because I don't want to embarrass Long Live and His Highness."

In a courtyard in Dashiyongfang, when Gu Bingqian, who was wearing a Taoist robe and sitting at the head of the study hall, heard the news from the inner court, his first words were like this.

In front of him, Bi Ziyan, Li Changgeng, Li Ruolian, Cui Yingyuan, Wu Mengming and others sat below, but their expressions and thoughts were not on Gu Bingqian's words.

All the people here are good people, and the news and information in their hands are no worse than Gu Bingqian. No one knows what Jin Xuan's plot is better than them.

To put it bluntly, why would Kim Hyun speak out?

It is undeniable that Jin Xuan is a direct minister and also an admonishing minister, but even if he is an admonishing minister, direct admonishment has a purpose, and it is impossible to remonstrate to death to remind the emperor.

Gu Bingqian looked at the people in front of him, glanced around and then returned to the conversation.

"Jin Xuan is the person closest to the emperor and the crown prince among the Yanshan faction, and the officials of the Yanshan faction are all disciples of His Highness."

"If he said that he is dead, then the matter will be very clear..."

Gu Bingqian's words are still a bit unresolved. Compared with him, Cui Yingyuan is not so worried, and said bluntly:
"Although Jin Xuan is a courtier of Wansui, he is also a member of His Highness. If Wansui kills Jin Xuan regardless of His Highness's face, then the so-called brothers and sisters in the past are just pretending."

"If everything in the past was faked, then Long Live would not be as simple as it seems."

"Maybe the officials of the Yanshan faction will go to the shuffle collectively, or collectively attack and impeach the eunuch party and suppress the eunuch party."

"Not only..." Li Ruolian from Beizhen Fusi frowned and said:

"Civilian turmoil is at most nothing more than chaos in the temple, but if Jin Xuan is killed, he should really pay attention to the attitude of the five-army governor's office."

"It's okay to say that the Southern Army's Governor's Mansion and the Western Army's Governor's Mansion are the biggest variables."

"Man Gui, Sun Yingyuan, Cao Wenzhao, Zhou Yuji, Sun Shoufa and Cao Meng from the Shangzhi Governor's Mansion, Huang Long, Huang Fei, Li Dan, Yan Siqi from the Naval Governor's Mansion..."

"These people have nothing to do with Long Live, nor have they received much kindness."

"To say something outrageous, if it weren't for His Highness's unclear attitude, I'm afraid they would have been dressed in yellow robes long ago."

"If in the past Wansui pretended to be respectful to His Highness's brothers and sisters, then Wansui's promise to them is actually tantamount to deception."

"If this is the case, then this group of people will not care about His Highness's attitude."

"Although His Highness uses troops like a god, once the military governor's mansion in the north and the naval governor's mansion in the south raise their flags to rebel from top to bottom, let alone whether Long Live will put His Highness in prison, only the three guards of the imperial city and the general of the Han Dynasty, as well as Jin Yiwei and a small number of Shangzhi Gongwei battalion with less than [-] soldiers, how can they deal with the more than [-] soldiers and horses in the three northern prefectures?"

"Once defeated, even if His Highness is pushed to the throne, the turmoil has already been settled."

"Besides, given the current situation, if a major case breaks out in the south, His Highness will definitely go south. If His Highness is not in the capital, all three armies' governors' offices will rebel, and the fall of the capital will only happen overnight."

"At that time, with His Highness's personality, it will be impossible to use the Southern Army and the Western Army's governor's mansion to fight a civil war. The most likely thing is that His Highness should be subdued and become the emperor in the capital."

"In this way, not only will there be no turmoil, but it will also be the best result for the generals of the five armies' governor's mansion."

Li Ruolian's analysis made people flustered, but Bi Ziyan quickly shook his head and said:
"Long live, if you can really pretend to be a brother and friend for eight years, then with such a scheming, you will definitely not put Jin Xuan in prison, but drink back to appease the emotions of King Qi and the governors of the five armies."

"Long live if you can really do this..."

Bi Ziyan glanced at the crowd and said nothing, but everyone knew it well.

If Zhu Youxiao can really endure for eight years and then make these arrangements, then his scheming is no worse than that of Emperor Wen and Jing of the Han Dynasty.

Zhu Youxiao has such means and scheming?stop joking...

In Jin Xuan's direct remonstrance, there is a saying that is very correct, "make good use of King Qi".

It is true that Zhu Youxiao's methods are not bad, but if he is placed in the 5000-year-old China, he is nothing more than the master of the mean.

It was not his emperor Zhu Youxiao, but Qi Wang Zhu Youjian who cleaned up the mess in the first year of Taichang to the current state of "ruling the world".

That is to say, Zhu Youjian has been propagating how the emperor is, and constantly pushing his merits, so that the people will feel that the emperor is a holy king.

However, the common people, like the Beijing officials, would probably only ridicule Zhu Youxiao after knowing his true face.

Perhaps in the eyes of Zhu Youjian, Yanshan officials and students, Zhu Youxiao's liking for carpentry is not something worthy of criticism.

But for the courtiers and common people whose thoughts were still stuck in the Wanli period, this is a mediocre lord who is greedy for pleasure.

The Ming Dynasty is very strange, the moral requirements for the monarch are very high, but they are very indulgent to themselves.

According to the requirements of civil officials in the Ming Dynasty, the king of any dynasty would be criticized for a lot of problems, unless the emperor gave benefits to the civil officials.

But here comes the question, did Zhu Youxiao benefit the civil servants?

What are the advantages of "Officials' fixed salary" and timely payment of salary? What they want is illegal income!
If it weren't for the dominance of the Qi royal family in the temple, the civil servants whose interests have been harmed would have scolded Zhu Youxiao as shit based on these policies of the imperial court's reform.

Zhu Youxiao's scheming and methods can only be regarded as average among the emperors, which is the consensus of everyone in the hall.

Since it is so-so, there are more uncertain factors.

If Zhu Youxiao was really passionate and then ordered Jin Xuan to be cut off, then Daming would really have a sign of subjugation.

However, this possibility is very small, because if Zhu Youxiao's attitude towards Zhu Youjian is not pretending, then Jin Xuan is most likely to be imprisoned, and after a period of time when the outside calms down a little, Zhu Youxiao will acquiesce to Zhu Youjian. Youjian let him out.

This is the guess of most people in the hall, and once this point is achieved, then Jin Xuan's goal will also be achieved.

To put it bluntly, Kim Hyun's thoughts and purpose are very pure.

First, if Zhu Youxiao is really pretending and killing Jin Xuan, then the Governor's Office of the Five Armies and Zhu Youjian can also see Zhu Youxiao's face clearly, and they should rebel quickly and support King Qi to proclaim himself emperor Afterwards, King Qi managed the country well and reformed Ming Dynasty.

Second, if Zhu Youxiao didn't pretend to kill Jin Xuan, then he should quickly share Zhu Youjian's worries, instead of hiding in the inner court to enjoy his own blessings, let Zhu Youjian be tired, and Daming's reform will still be hindered .

These two, in the final analysis, actually have one goal, that is to promote reforms and let the people live a better life.

He, Jin Xuan himself, died as soon as he died, and if he could get a "Apocalypse Prosperity" in exchange for his death, then it would be worth it.

This is the true meaning of what Jin Xuan said to Zhu Youxiao, "Although the body is dead, the name can hang on the bamboo and silk".

He is completely betting on Zhu Youxiao's true face with his life. Whether he wins or loses the bet, his personal profit is actually not big.

If he loses the bet, he will be decapitated, and if he wins the bet, it is impossible for him to continue teaching Zhu Ciran and become the future emperor teacher.

To be honest, Gu Bingqian and others still admire Jin Xuan's stubbornness, but this does not mean that they support Jin Xuan's approach.

As the Qi royal party, most of them actually hope to maintain the status quo, because they have seen one thing, that is, Zhu Youjian personally cannot tolerate corruption.

The current tolerance is a kind of compromise, but once there is another opportunity, he will never compromise.

Zhu Youjian compromised during the great hunger in Huaibei, but what were the consequences?
Qi Chuzhe Xuankun Donglin...

If so many parties didn't need them to maintain balance, Zhu Youjian would have killed the heads of them long ago.

If Zhu Youjian becomes the emperor without the constraints of others, then Gu Bingqian and the others may not suffer, but the people below will certainly suffer.

Didn't you see that Zhu Youjian killed so many officials in Yanshan in the Shaanxi case...

When Zhu Youjian becomes emperor, he will be the second Zhu Yuanzhang, which can be described as a nightmare for his officials.

Fortunately, he didn't have this thought, otherwise Gu Bingqian and the others wouldn't be comfortable until now.

The only ones who really want Zhu Youjian to become emperor are the three Northern Prefectures, the Navy Commander's Office, and officials from Yanshan.

To put it bluntly, it is the collision of the conservatives and the reformers.

Gu Bingqian and the others have thoroughly researched this matter, and they also think that Jin Xuan can walk out of the prison intact, but under the spread of thoughtful people, some people who shouldn't know the news know it...

"It is said that a brother who fights a tiger is a father and son soldier, but even if it is a father and son brother, you must first fight for yourself!"

"Shangshu! Let's go to Shangshu at the gate of the Qing Palace!"

"Be careful..."

In a restaurant in Guanlifang in Dongcheng, Beijing, when someone satirized the emperor, Cheng De in the crowd could only dissuade him loudly.

At this time, a young official on the second floor of the restaurant couldn't help but said:

"Calm for a moment, the incident has just happened, it is reasonable to see how His Highness handles it first."

"Don't be impulsive!" Cheng De also dissuaded from the crowd.

There are only five wine shops in Guanlifang, so each one is huge, two-story high, and covers an area of ​​more than ten acres. Therefore, there are thousands of Yanshan sects gathered here, and more than 3000 Enke locals who have not been assigned official positions after Enke passed. official.

"Yuheng, the person who called Jing Yijing seems to be Yan Yinshao, an Enke Jinshi in the fifth year of the apocalypse. He should be the person with the highest official position in the official office. I heard that he is Yan Fu from the military department of the fifth rank. Collateral descendants of this line."

Among the crowd, when the officials of the Yanshan faction were still arguing about how to get the emperor to release Jin Xuan, among the scholars who had not been awarded official positions, Liu Shou, who was next to Yan Yingyuan, was introducing him to the person who was advising him.

Yan Yingyuan heard the words and glanced at Yan Yinshao who kept trying to dissuade him on the second floor.

"According to his ancestry, he should be the 72th grandson of Yan Hui, the 65nd sage, and the verified 26th grandson..."

"should be……"

The two chatted without saying a word, but they were mainly watching Yanshan officials in the restaurant criticizing and mocking the court.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"

At this time, there was a loud shouting sound from the entrance of the restaurant, and the people near the entrance looked at it one after another, only to realize that it was the yamen servant from Guanlifang who had arrived.

"My lords, please go home!"

More than a hundred yamen servants rushed in, but the head of the General Banner bowed and invited people back to the mansion. It was obvious that they did not want to offend the people in the official workshop.

"Don't make it difficult for your colleagues. If you really want to unite with Shangshu, you have to wait for Boyu to deal with it."

Cheng De stood on the table and shouted loudly, it was obvious that he didn't want to make things worse.

"Let's go first." Yan Yinshao on the second floor also shouted loudly.

It's just that their yelling did not make the officials of the Yanshan faction leave. Instead, many local students who had not obtained official positions left first.

As soon as they left, there were only a thousand Yanshan officials left in the restaurant, but for Yanshan officials, they were not afraid of the yamen servants.

If they really fight, even one-on-one, the servants may not necessarily be their opponents.

After all, they have not only learned the way of managing the world, but also the way of battle formation, and their skills are no worse than veterans of hundreds of battles.

The yamen servants also knew how powerful Yanshan officials were, so they did not act rashly.

The two stalemate like this for a long time, until the head of Guanlifang led people to come, and then they sternly shouted back.

After all, most of the principals in Guanlifang are from Yanshan teaching background, so they can be regarded as the teachers of all of them.

It's just that although the crowd dispersed, their anger had already subsided.

If this matter of Jin Xuan is not handled well, I am afraid that the rebels are not farmers, but this group of Yanshan officials who can run the country with a pen and fight on horseback.

Yanshan Academy's description of the court and the emperor is seriously inconsistent with the reality, which has already impacted their values. Now the emperor who needs to be respected in the textbooks is now arresting Jin Xuan who is direct admonishment.

In the eyes of Yanshan students, Jin Xuan's direct remonstrance is not a problem at all. Compared with Zhu Youjian, who is diligent in politics, Zhu Youxiao is not worthy of being an emperor!
"So who spread it..."

In Prince Qi's mansion, Zhu Youjian suppressed his anger and questioned Lu Wenzhao in front of him, while Wang Chengen could only stand in a corner, swallowing hard.

"The Jinyiwei of Nanzhen Fusi came to report. It should be spread by officials of the Eunuch Party, but there is also the shadow of the Zhejiang Party..."

Lu Wenzhao lowered his head and reported back, while Zhu Youjian was holding the military newspaper in his hand tightly when he heard the words.

"Find out, ransack the house and exile!"

In a short sentence, hundreds of people are involved.

"Yes..." Lu Wenzhao responded, turned around and prepared to do it, but Zhu Youjian stopped and said:

"and many more!"

Zhu Youjian frowned, and after pondering for a moment, he said, "Whether Feng Quan, Yao Zongwen, and Shi Fenglai were involved, we have to investigate clearly."

"Yes..." Lu Wenzhao bowed in response, and then exited the study.

After he withdrew, Wang Chengen dared to stand up and say:
"Your Highness, do you want to go to the palace first to ask about Wansui's attitude, and then comfort the Yanshan officials?"

"No..." Zhu Youjian rejected the suggestion, and after thinking about it, he said:
"The palace is operating normally, don't ask, don't take action, let alone go to the palace, just let Cui Yingyuan protect Jin Xuan."

Zhu Youjian has confidence in his brother. Although he is playful, he will not kill Jin Xuan.

After all, Zhu Youxiao has been pointed and scolded so many times by the officials in history, but he did not kill anyone. The only person suspected of killing Yang Lian was because Yang Lian was used as a gunman, criticizing many things that did not happen in the imperial court.

Therefore, what Zhu Youjian needs to pay attention to is whether some idiots will take the opportunity to kill Jin Xuan.

Feng Quan and the others will not kill Jin Xuan purely. If Jin Xuan dies, both the eunuch party and the Zhejiang party will have to finish.

"Your Highness..."

When Zhu Youjian ordered Wang Chengen, Yang Rushi walked to the door of the study and said to Zhu Youjian: "Eunuch Wang An has come from the palace, do you want to meet him?"

"Pass!" Zhu Youjian waved his hand to signal Yang Rushi to pass on Wang An, and Yang Rushi also turned around and left after returning the gift.

After a cup of tea, Wang An rushed over, with some snow on his hat and shoulders.

"Your Highness, pass on the words of Long Live..." Wang An entered the study and started talking about business without stopping.

When Zhu Youjian heard the words, he also stood up and spoke to show respect.

"Long live, there is an oral order. From today onwards, the memorials of the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Punishment, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Industry, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Dali Temple, Six Divisions, and the other three temples will all be transferred to the inner court for processing."

"In addition, Cao Huachun was transferred back to the capital, and Sun Liang of the military battle bureau was transferred to the south field."

"The minister led the order..." Hearing these words, Zhu Youjian knew that Jin Xuan was fine...

Once the memorials of the Fourth Ministry and the Metropolitan Procuratorate are handed over to the inner court for handling, Zhu Youjian can at least take an extra hour of rest every day, which lightens the burden on his shoulders a lot.

Although Zhu Youjian still needs to deal with the memorials of the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Households that have the most affairs, Zhu Youjian is really worried about handing over the memorials of these two departments to the inner court.

As for Sun Liang in the military battle bureau, he is also Zhu Youjian's old subordinate among the officials. Although he may not be able to manage it well when he is transferred to the South Field, he can at least abide by the rules left by Wang An and Cao Huachun.

However, after Cao Huachun went north, some people could share the military report and financial report of Yumajian for Wang Chengen and Zhu Youjian.

After all, some adjustments can reduce Zhu Youjian's workload by almost two hours.

In this way, counting the time for eating, Zhu Youjian can also rest for six hours a day.

He felt that the burden on his shoulders was much lighter, and he was particularly pleased with Jin Xuan's remonstrance. At least he woke Zhu Youxiao up by scolding him, and Zhu Youxiao accepted his remonstrance humbly.

"Your Highness..." Wang An said cautiously:

"Long live the matter of Jin Xuan, I hope he can be transferred to Yingzhou, look..."

Zhu Youxiao wants to transfer Jin Xuan away. It's not that he feels uncomfortable with Jin Xuan, but that what Jin Xuan did is actually not a good example for Baiguan.

If it's okay for Jin Xuan to scold the emperor, then all the officials will come to scold the emperor.

It is impossible to kill Jin Xuan. Transferring Jin Xuan to Yingzhou can not only protect Jin Xuan, but also monitor Yan Siqi, and keep the authority of the emperor. It is a good arrangement.

Zhu Youjian didn't have any objection to this, he just thought about it before he said:

"Give Jin Xuan the prefect of South Island. If he has the character to supervise the mining of gold and silver mines, he can put an end to some corruption."

"Slave maid, tell Long Live now..." Wang An was relieved to hear that Zhu Youjian had no objection, and then he bowed and said:

"Before leaving, the servant girl conveyed a word to His Highness for Long Live..."

"Tell me." Zhu Youjian was very calm, and Wang An also conveyed in Zhu Youxiao's tone:

"Long live said... my brother has worked hard"

 Even later, it is estimated to be around 06:30 in the afternoon
