Daming heir

Chapter 393 Zhu Yuanzhang teaches his son

Inside the Huagai Hall, Zhu Yuanzhang twisted his hands left and right around his waist a few times, and finally turned his hands on his hips with some helplessness.

It's a pity that today the cloth straps are tied instead of leather straps.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the second child who was kneeling in front of him, and a gleam of regret flashed in his eyes.

Zhu Xi thought about it, and always felt that his old man's words were infiltrating.What is the 'suffering of these years'?If I really feel that I am suffering, the old man will make use of the problem.

He lowered his head, but felt that the old man was like a hunting tiger in the mountains, waiting for him to show his flaws.

Zhu Xi immediately showed sadness, his eyes were even bloodshot, and his face was flushed when he raised his head: "Father, my son is tired... My son hasn't seen his wife for several years. Father, let your son rest. After resting for a while, my son can't even eat every day. When the son regains his strength, he will continue to charge for our family, wrap the corpse in horse leather, and die and come back to life!"

Highlight a tiredness, highlight a desire for a wife, and then highlight the idea of ​​continuing to work.This is what Zhu Yu made up his mind to do. It's not that I don't want to do it, but I'm tired and want a wife. How can you find fault with such a human thing?
"tired?"

In the hall, Zhu Yuanzhang sneered and questioned.

He walked up to Zhu Xi, squatted down slowly, stretched out his hand and patted Zhu Xi's shoulder, and stared at his second son meaningfully.

"Tired, can you be as tired as I am?"

Zhu Xi paused for a moment, then quickly shook his head: "My son doesn't dare."

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned: "It's not dare, not nothing, then you think so!"

Zhu Yu panicked, when did this kind of reply become a place where he could be criticized.

He shook his head again and again: "My son is young and upright, no matter how many things he has to do, no matter how tired he is, he will never be as tired as his father."

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly.

He continued to question: "Then do you think that you are more tired than the boss?"

Now that Zhu Xi has learned a lot, he immediately shook his head and said, "The eldest brother is the crown prince of this dynasty, the capital of the Eastern Palace, the crown prince of Sheji, thinking about it day and night, and working too hard."

Zhu Yuanzhang is very satisfied with the feeling that he can let his children develop in the direction he wants to go with just a little guidance. This way of educating children is probably the reason why he has been a father and a mother these years.

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed softly: "Second brother, you are the oldest one in our family except for the eldest. Many brothers are all following you as an example. If you are tired all the time, your brothers What will happen?"

Nowadays, the relationship between relatives in his family is very simple, but Zhu Xi feels a little helpless in his heart.Apart from the old man's cousins, the old Zhu's family now only has his own brothers and sisters who are the old man's own.

Cousins ​​don't matter, who doesn't have any relatives.

But my brothers...

Zhu Xi couldn't help slandering in his heart, it was really because his old man was too fertile.All the eldest sons of my Prince Qin's Mansion can get married and have children, and the old man can add younger brothers and sisters for himself.

Zhu Xing hummed twice, and Quan took it as a response.

Zhu Yuanzhang turned around and said: "What is Jingcha? Why do you need Jingcha? Don't you still understand?"

Three questions in a row made it difficult for Zhu Xi to speak.

Just when Zhu Xun was about to fool around again, Zhu Yuanzhang blocked his words directly.

"Say it! Make it clear!"

This is not bullying!

For a moment, Zhu Xi wanted to cry but had no tears, and his heart was desolate and sad.

"Father, are you going to vent your anger on Yunxi?" Zhu Xi asked tentatively pretending not to understand after pondering for a long time.

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes turned ambiguously, and he looked sideways at the prince who was beside him.Although, he patted the second child on the shoulder again: "Second child, if you really feel tired of doing things for dad, dad will let you go back to the fief. It's just that dad works harder, go ask the third and fourth child And the fifth one, let's see if their bodies can withstand it without getting tired."

Zhu Xing suddenly became excited, and hurriedly cupped his hands and said: "My son is not tired! My son is willing to go through fire and water for my family, and he will do whatever he wants!"

"Hmph! Then you can just say, why do I need Jingcha."

Zhu Xi felt uneasy in his heart, and looked weakly at the prince Zhu Biao who was not far away.

When I was young, as long as the brothers made mistakes in front of the old man and ran to their mother or elder brother, they could always escape a severe beating and be replaced by a light punishment from their mother or elder brother.

This time, Zhu Biao ignored the eyes of the second child and asked for help.He even winked at Zhu Xi, giving him an expression of being helpless but wanting to sit back and watch the show.

For a moment, Zhu Xi, who was not loved by his father or brother, his shoulders drooped quietly, and he never had the stubborn look he had in the Huagai Palace before.

"You want to take this opportunity to eliminate the officials of the Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Xi sighed softly: "Jiaozhidao, under the leadership of Gao Yangzhi and others, has implemented public law examinations in the past few years. Although it cannot eliminate corruption, it can also target talent selection instead of empty talkers. Both eyes are black."

As he said that, Zhu Xi raised his head to observe the old man's changes, and then continued: "And... if you want to test the public law, you have to take the test again regardless of Neo Confucianism and heart. The son is bold, and the father is probably thinking about the official position in the world. Not a Confucian family."

After saying this, Zhu Xi completely lay down on the ground, not daring to raise his head.

What abolishes the establishment of the emperor's grandson, and what matters involve the country and society cannot be discussed by ministers.

It's just an excuse. If the old man wants to vent his anger on his eldest grandson, he only needs a few orders. Why bother to arrest people and go to Beijing to investigate.

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly: "Look, isn't this a clear-eyed man? Why are there so many excuses, what are you pretending to be in front of your father? When you pouted your ass since you were a child, I knew what shit you were going to do."

Zhu Xi didn't dare to get up, it was precisely because he clearly understood these tricks in his heart that he was reluctant in every possible way.

"So you are afraid, you are afraid." Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were gloomy, and he bent down and put his hands together to look down at Zhu Xi: "Are you afraid that you will have to do the Six Ways of Land Tax Reform, plus the current Beijing inspection, or sleep in the middle of the night? Is it because you walk on the road and you will be killed by someone?"

Zhu Xi kept silent.

Zhu Biao, who had never spoken all this time, finally couldn't bear it, and said: "Father, you don't want to scare the second child. The fifth child was probably also frightened by the chaos in Henan Province. Why don't you let him go back to Beijing?" , leave the affairs of Jingcha to him.”

As soon as Zhu Xi heard this, he felt very unhappy in his heart.

I don't have to, but you can't just give it to others.

Zhu Xi immediately said eloquently: "Lao Wu has been repairing books and repairing books all these years. Zhou Wangfu is full of all kinds of herbs. How can he understand these things in Beijing?"

Zhu Biao smiled slightly, and said in a low voice, "That old..."

"The fourth is guarding Beiping, and Beiping and Nine Sides can't do without him." Zhu Xi immediately started chattering: "The third is not good either, his temper is not as good as mine, and even the officials in the court..."

He wanted to say that he had killed them all, but he still didn't say anything.

Even if a country is subjugated, most of the princes in the court, except for some predecessors who died for the country, will live well, or even better.Throughout the dynasties, there has never been a whole court that was killed cleanly.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked back at the eldest son, the father and son looked at each other, and then the elder Zhu took the second son Zhu Xi and walked out of the hall.

Zhu Xi was a little confused, not knowing what the old man was going to do.

"Father, what are you going to do?"

Zhu Yuanzhang stretched out his arms and hooked the neck of the second child: "Second child, let go and do it, or you can learn from the third child."

Before Zhu Xi could react, he only felt his back being pushed hard by the old man's big hand, and then he stumbled a lot towards the front of the hall.

When Zhu Xi stabilized his body and looked back at the Huagai Palace, he saw that the gate of the palace had been closed tightly, and the old man was nowhere to be seen.

In front of the Huagai Palace, a summer heat wave rolled over, making Zhu Xi even more depressed.

After sighing for a while, Zhu Xi could only walk over to Wenyuan Pavilion, looking for Xie Jin, hoping to get some different means and methods.

When Zhu Xun arrived at Wenyuan Pavilion all the way, he saw that not only Xie Jin was in the room today, but also Xia Yuanji, who was also walking for the Wenhua Palace, was here.

Both of them walk in the Wenhua Palace, but because Xia Yuanji is still doing the affairs of the household department, most of the time he works in the household department yamen. I'll come over and help with it.

Today Xie Jin did not rest, Henan and Shandong rebelled, the gentry and the people asked to abolish the emperor and grandson, and the emperor's sage is in Beijing this year.These are all important matters of the Ming Dynasty, state affairs memorials and so on are so complicated, which is also the reason why Xia Yuanji had to come here.

Recently, things in the court were very complicated. Xie Jin and Xia Yuanji sorted out the matters according to their priorities, and even approved suggestions, and then passed them on to the emperor and the prince.On the one hand, the two of them did not forget to complain about Tie Xuan who has been in Japan for several years now.

Walking for the Wenhua Palace together, the two of them are working hard every day.On the contrary, it was Tie Xuan, who was appointed in Japan to be a philanderer all day long.It is often heard that the women of the Japanese country know how to serve people best.

While doing their work and complaining, Xie Jin and Xia Yuanji looked at Qin Wang Zhu Xi who came in from the outside.

"I don't know what the prince is coming to Wenyuan Pavilion for?"

Xie Jin and Xia Yuanji removed the cushioned pillows from the early morning, and stood up on the wooden couch that had been replaced with bamboo mats, and came to Zhu Xi.

Seeing the respectful appearance of the two, Zhu Xi felt the restlessness in his heart dissipate a little bit. He waved his hands and held his head up, looking around the room.

"This king of Wenyuan Pavilion used to come less often, but he didn't expect that now it has become a place that needs to be guarded by his own troops."

Zhu Xi teased and opened his mouth, he was already sitting cross-legged on the wooden couch covered with bamboo mats.

He stretched out his head to look at the memorials on the table, and then turned his head to look at Xie Jin and Xia Yuanji, who had ugly faces, reached out and patted the table, and closed the opened memorials: "How can this king understand?" You can’t look at these things, and it’s annoying to see them. As expected, Xie Xingxing and Xia Xingxing are the great talents of the dynasty to do such things.”

His Royal Highness Qin Wang has learned to praise others?

Xie Jin and Xia Yuanji looked at each other silently. From the moment the prince entered Wenyuan Pavilion, there was a strange look.

Xia Yuanji coughed lightly: "The ministers are just following the rules and doing things according to the rules, and they cannot be praised by the prince."

Xie Jin immediately followed up and said: "The prince is also responsible for state affairs, and he cooperates with His Majesty and the prince to do all the affairs of the community. The relationship is very important, and it is very humanly capable."

Zhu Xi had a plan in mind, and seeing that the two of them were so slick, he no longer pretended to be false, and said directly: "Your Majesty is responsible for this king, and will take up the errand of the imperial court this year. I think you two have already known about the journey." .”

Xie Jin and Xia Yuanji nodded, showing no expression on the surface, but a little joy in their hearts, and they could also see the intention of His Royal Highness King Qin.

The life of these two kings of Qin is very difficult, and most people know this well.Just like the problem in Henan Province this time, Zhu Xi, who was in charge of the Liudaotian tax errand, had to take some responsibility to some extent.

It's not that he caused the rebellion in Henan Province, but that the land tax errands were not handled well. As soon as the emperor's grandson went to Henan Province, countless cases of deception were discovered.Then what His Royal Highness King Qin has done in the past few years has to be questioned.

Zhu Xi is indeed a little flustered right now. The matter in Henan Province is still unclear, and he is not the only one who knows how his errands are doing in the past two years.

He sighed lightly: "Actually, this king also understands that the country's affairs are difficult. It's just that this matter about Jingcha, even if it offends someone, this king will still do it, right?"

Xie Jin and Xia Yuanji nodded repeatedly, but kept silent.

Zhu Xi said again: "However, what should be done and what is the process, I have to understand."

Xie Jin still nodded, but Xia Yuanji frowned slightly.

Sure enough, the next moment Zhu Xi said: "I think the two of you are walking, you are the rare capable ministers in the court, and you will definitely be able to rank in the sixth department in the future. Why don't you let the two help the king this time?" ?”

Just as Xie Jin was about to speak, Xia Yuanji had already raised his arms first, and blocked Xie Jin with his elbow.

Then Xia Yuanji, under Xie Jin's suspicious eyes, cupped his hands and said: "Go back to the prince, I will take the documents and files of the previous Beijing inspections in Hongwu Year later, and send them to the prince in person for the prince's review and reference." .”

Zhu Xi's eyes lightened slightly: "Just looking at the past, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it. If something goes wrong and the officials in Beijing are found to be confidant, I may say that I will be killed for the same crime."

After saying a word, Zhu Xi turned his head and looked at the two with a smile: "This king is just joking, you two don't take it seriously."

Xia Yuanji had already complained about this shameless King Qin in his heart for quite a while, but he could only cup his hands and smile and said: "The prince is joking. That being the case, if the prince has something unclear, he can send someone to find it." The ministers, the ministers will help themselves according to their ability, and we can't let Wang Yejing find out what's wrong."

"trouble!"

With a face full of disgust, Zhu Xi waved his hands and shook his head and said: "Why do you need people to run around, this king will go to play His Majesty, and then I will ask you two to preside over the Jingcha affairs together with me!"

While talking, Zhu Xing jumped off the wooden couch.

Under Xia Yuanji's surprised gaze, Zhu Xi stretched out his hands and patted Xia Yuanji and Xie Jin's shoulders, and then passed between them.

After waiting for a long time, there was no sign of Zhu Xi in Wenyuan Pavilion.

However, Xia Yuanji took a long breath, and there was a whistling sound in his throat as if a bellows were being pulled.

Xie Jin's expression on the side was a little ugly: "Is he dragging us into the water?"

Xie Jin looked at Xia Yuanji's expression, a little uncertain, but so sure.

Xia Yuanji stomped his feet angrily: "That's right! He didn't come here to bother and ask for advice, he just came to give us two ultimatums. We have to go to the Jingcha if we don't. If he offends others, we must also offend along with him." people."

Xie Jin's eyes returned to calm, and he said softly, "It's okay to offend others."

"It's okay!" Xia Yuanji yelled in a sharp voice, and then said: "But the key is that this is not easy to do. You just said that when so many officials in Yingtian City evaluate meritorious service, a place will be released. Leaks, leaks will appear everywhere.

I checked the people in the household department today, tomorrow Yu Shangshu can go to the Qianqing Palace to complain, and the day after tomorrow he can skin me.

The Manchao Hall is intertwined up and down, and when we go in, it is like a leaf of duckweed, thrown into the Yellow River, a little wind and waves, and we sink to the bottom. "

Xia Yuanji's face became very ugly. Jingcha has never been done by human beings.Especially this time, if His Majesty used the clan prince to preside over Jingcha, it was obvious that he wanted to expand the scope to the entire Yingtian Dynasty Hall.

If not, His Majesty can choose one or two officials from the six departments, five temples and three Dharma divisions to preside over the Jingcha.

In most cases, it is also presided over by the Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

Xie Jin hesitated and said, "For the current plan, what should I do?"

"How?" Xia Yuanji hummed twice, sat down on the wooden couch, and squinted at Xie Jin who was unwilling to answer these twists and turns: "Wait, what else can I do. I'll just say you, every day Thinking about state affairs, thinking about your concrete roads. Can’t you think about these official affairs? Sooner or later, you will have to be brought in by those people.”

Xia Yuanjipo hated that iron could not be made into steel, and he looked like he met a stupid teammate.

Xie Jin didn't refute, but picked up the teapot from the side, poured a cup of tea for Xia Yuanji, and delivered it to the other party himself.

Seeing that Xia Yuanji was unwilling to reach out.

Xie Jin then said: "It's not that I have you helping me. You understand better than me in officialdom, and that's enough."

Xia Yuanji shrank his neck for no reason, looked Xie Jin up and down, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong, he quickly stretched out his hand to hold the teacup in front of him, and drank it down in one gulp.

"Forget it, I've had eight lifetimes of bad luck, and I met you two."

"At present, Yingtian's side can't be in chaos for the time being. Only a few people have been arrested, and it's not enough to fill Jinyiwei Zhao Prison."

"As for Jingcha..."

Xia Yuanji sneered, and laughed out loud in his throat.

Xie Jin pressed his arms on the table, stretched his head to look at Xia Yuanji: "What's wrong with Jingcha?"

Xia Yuanji glanced at Xie Jin: "The Jingcha is still early! No matter how we have to wait for news and results from the emperor's grandson, we will not do this!"
