eldest son of Ming dynasty

Chapter 195 Unifying Thoughts, Justified

Lu Shumao's job is still the same as usual, as the censor of the Inspectorate, but now he has a bad reputation, and the streets and alleys of the capital have already called him 'Lu Guangju'.

That day he showed his white butt on the street, and many people saw it.

In the Linglong Restaurant, there are sons of the rich and powerful who were accused by the censors in the past, reading today's "Ming Pao" aloud in the noisy place of the crowd. There is a book on it that says: A king is a king, so there are people.If you win the people, you win the world!If you lose your people, you will lose the world!The so-called rich people the day before yesterday have retreated into poor people.The so-called poor people the day before yesterday have been entrusted to the gully.Temples do not know how to save, and do not know how to obey orders.Zhou said: When you can cultivate, you should not regret what you have lost. It is true!
"This is the memorial written by our Lu Yushi to His Majesty and the Crown Prince. The article is so beautiful! But he turned around and drank flower wine by himself, hahaha!" Speaking of which, this person was the grandson of Wang Yue back then. Wang Bing, after a few years, he has a beard on his mouth.But this prodigal nature remained unchanged.

These dandies are usually looked down upon by those decent people, but now they seize the opportunity to crush their former enemies on the ground, it is really a pleasure.

"But I don't know what Lu Yushi meant by what he said to His Majesty?"

At this time, Wang Bing didn't dislike these scumbags any more, but he was approachable and willing to help others, "This Lu Guangfu is saying that when you are an emperor, you must have people in your heart. Only in this way can the dragon chair sit securely. The imperial court must find a way to enrich the people instead of the poor. This is the most correct truth, but don’t wait until it’s too late to make up for it before you know your regrets.”

This is a passage from Lu Shumao's remonstrance Zuo Shuli after the Shaofu discussion.

The people around were a little angry, "Bah! This is beautiful, but I don't know if he regrets it now! Advise the emperor to have people in his heart, so he turned around and went to the brothel. You said he hugged him in his arms. When you think about your sister, do you think about us people?"

The crowd burst into laughter.

Wang Bing was delighted to hear that, "If you want me to say, Your Highness still has a way, which is to peel off the skin of these hypocrites. On weekdays, one will say that this is a traitor, and the other that has bad intentions. They are gentlemen, what happened?"

"That's right. But in the past, these things were the secrets of the imperial court, and the emperor was afraid of losing face. Why did they all come out this time?"

"The crown prince is in charge! The crown prince said that they made the imperial court ashamed, and the imperial court will embarrass them!"

"Okay! It's still up to the prince! It's just that this kind of official doesn't dismiss him, it's a little bit cheaper for him!"

"Is he still willing to be himself?"

It was Lu Shumao who was unlucky today, and "Ming Pao" recorded his bad things in detail. Every edition of "Ming Pao" is recorded and archived, which means that his name, Lu Guangjuan, will be included in the history books, and people after thousands of years will have to laugh at him!
So Lu Shumao was really bad enough, but just after this happened, he didn't dare to 'absent from work' anymore, so he went to the Inspector's Office.

People on the road can still hide, after all not everyone knows him.

Even in the courtyard, colleagues gathered in twos and twos, pointing at him, covering their mouths and laughing lightly, this is too tortured.Not long after the next one, someone came to pass the word that Zhang Zongxian wanted to see him.

This Lu Shumao with drooping face, ran to Zhang Fuhua.

What else can Zhang Fuhua say?
He sighed helplessly, "Hey, about your matter, the cabinet and ministers went to argue with the prince again today, but you are out of luck, the prince is more serious this time, don't talk about it now, this 108 There is also the son of Wang Shilang's family in the Ministry of War, even if it is like that, the crown prince will not forgive it. So you can only swallow the bitterness in it yourself. But your highness also asked me to convey a word to you."

"President... please tell me."

"Sense of shame and then courage."

Lu Shumao pursed his lips. Isn't this sentence the same as not? How beneficial is it to his current situation?
Speaking of it, some people who are favored by heaven or very few people with strong personalities don't care much about official positions, but most people from ordinary families still care very much.

The official position represents the social status and the salary needed for life.In addition, everyone lives in a social environment. Lu Shumao not only has to face the emperor and prince, but also faces his own family and clan.

He is the glory of the whole family, and the old mother's body can't stand the sudden resignation.How many generations have raised a Jinshi like him, and now he suddenly resigned?How many years has he been in the cold window, and how much sweat is behind it?

Go back and be a farmer?He agreed, but there were still a group of people in the family who did not agree.

So he was reluctant to resign, and he didn't have the capital.But now some "gentlemen" classify those who are reluctant to bear official positions as villains, which makes him very annoying.It's not easy to change from a civilian to an official, so what if you don't want to!
"You people, Your Highness has not dismissed anyone this time, not even a penalty salary. So I feel that there is still a chance to win His Highness's heart in the future." Zhang Fuhua has no other choice now, he can only go first flickering.

Lu Shumao forced a smile on his face and said, "I understand. I will study quietly and work hard in the future."

At this moment, Lu Shumao also began to change, no one knew what he had become, and neither did he himself.

Lu Shumao's tragic situation made the 107 follow-up people very frightened. Now they only have their names publicly executed, and they haven't released these words from the memorial.The thought of comparing words and deeds like this makes me want to die.

So these days, people keep trying to say hello to Zhu Houzhao through various channels.As a result, he came to be more ruthless and recruited Zhang Chengtian to tell him about it. As a result, all the people in the capital knew about it the next day.

Rejecting one by one, it is still troublesome in the end, just do it in one step, let's see who will come to the East Palace to intercede.

However, this incident scared Zhang Tianrui enough. His official career is now flourishing. As the first person to attach himself to the crown prince, he is now serving as the Imperial Priest's sacrificial wine.

Zhu Houzhao was sitting on a floppy bed, with his knees covered by the quilt. He was informal, and sometimes he didn't want to be cleaned up, so he let his hair loose like this, or simply tied it up and hung it on his back.

After all, he is young, and his face is still immature, but everyone knows that this is a tough master.

Zhu Houzhao was in a good mood at this time. Hearing Zhang Tianrui spit for a long time, he was a little helpless, and said with a suppressed smile: "... If anyone wants to follow your path or your son's path, you can push it on me. Just say the prince No."

Zhang Tianrui still hasn't got rid of his timidity all these years, and said with a sad face: "Your Highness, you don't know something. Some people here are already threatening. That means, as long as Narita publishes the memorials he wrote Published on Ming Pao, don’t expect to have good fruit in the future!”

Zhu Houzhao and Liu Jin looked at each other unexpectedly.

Liu Jin asked: "...you are an imperial court official, who dares to threaten you like this?"

Zhu Houzhao shook his head, "I don't feel ashamed to do those things by myself on weekdays, but I tried my best to go through the back door now."

"This...that's it." Zhang Tianrui said aggrievedly.

"Okay. Don't pout. I'll send an eunuch to Zhang Chengtian's side. You don't need to say anything, just follow him, and no one will dare to say anything to him."

Because those words are likely to reach the ears of the prince.

Zhang Tianrui thought about it, the prince's method is absolutely impossible, so his head shook happily again.

"That minister, thank you, Your Highness!"

"This guy." Zhu Houzhao was also helpless. He leaned on the soft pillow with his upper hand and said, "You came at the right time. I have something to arrange for you to do. First of all, the first thing is to keep it secret, and you can't tell me. Anyone, it's a matter of the head."

Zhang Tianrui immediately put away his smiling face, "Your Highness... Do you know about such things, my lord?"

What this means is: or you better stop talking, I don’t know what’s best.

Zhu Houzhao stared at him, "I haven't said anything yet, so you don't have to back away. Don't worry, as long as you keep your mouth tight, you won't be killed."

His thoughts were seen through, and Zhang Tianrui was also a little embarrassed, "Please give orders, Your Highness."

"Recently, my palace has been receiving military reports from various border towns. Judging from the current situation, in the 18th year of Hongzhi, the little Tatar prince is very likely to lead troops to invade the country. This palace has tolerated him for several years."

In fact, there is no information about these borders. Zhu Houzhao also remembers that the Tatars invaded in the 18th year of Hongzhi.

Because Emperor Hongzhi passed away this year, the Tatars felt that this was an opportunity, and the situation in the capital was unstable, so they must have no intention of taking care of them.

And Zhu Houzhao, who knew this in advance, would not be unprepared. Although he is not a general or handsome talent, he has watched "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms". There is a very useful strategy in war called "showing the enemy to be weak". .

Anyone who has watched some TV shows understands this stuff.The enemy thinks you are weak at this time, as long as you are not really weak, then they will have to pay the price.So Hongzhi's 18th year is a very good time point.

Of course, there are also some political considerations, which is another matter.

In short, the prince's words have already been spoken, but he will not bear it any longer.

Zhang Tianrui heard it in his ears, and his heart was startled like a thunder, "Your Highness!"

"Don't talk about soldiers first, it's a major matter for the country." Zhu Houzhao directly raised his hand to stop him, "That is to say, I always knew that you were timid and changed someone else, but I was so afraid when I heard that you were going to fight the Tatars. This palace is definitely going to make trouble for him."

"Your Highness, forgive me. I lost my temper. But I think that such a major matter should be decided after discussing with His Majesty and the cabinet? It can't be that... Your Highness and the humble minister have agreed on this matter, right? We have fought together for several years The accumulated money and food have been exhausted again!"

Zhu Houzhao lowered his eyebrows, "As a last resort, I don't want to fight. War consumes people's wealth and energy. The soldiers who died on the battlefield also had parents, wives and children. They cried to the court for husbands and sons. Who can watch it? But the troubles of the Tartars have to be eliminated. The military pressure in the north is increasing day by day. Everywhere in Ming Dynasty has to save money and food to supply the millions of frontier troops. If this continues, the damage will be deeper, so you don’t want to What is the agreement or not? This battle has to be fought."

"But I also know that most of the imperial court thinks like you, focusing on stability and muddling along. At that time, such arguments will not be conducive to war. Therefore, I must unify my thinking and be justified!"

Zhang Tianrui was puzzled, "But I don't know how His Highness wants to unify his thoughts, so that the name is justified?"

"The academy's military academy." Zhu Houzhao pointed to him. "The students in the military academy are young and energetic, and they are pretentious. If there is an urgent report from the border next year, you must guide them to speak out."

"What... what noise?" Zhang Tianrui asked carefully.

Liu Jin couldn't stand it any longer. There were some words that the Crown Prince couldn't say clearly. "Naturally, they made the sound of asking for a fight. Their mouths grow on their own. The capital is so big, and they can't disturb others by calling them a few words."

Zhu Houzhao glanced at him, "I want you to talk more."

Liu Jin shrank her head and lowered her head.

"When you get home, ask your son to come into the palace. It's up to you to be justified, and he and his "Ming Pao" are the ones who unify his thinking."

The first step in modern warfare, public opinion warfare!
