eldest son of Ming dynasty

Chapter 27 Debate again!

Wu Kuan, courtesy name Yuan Bo, was born in the tenth year of Xuande, and is now 63 years old. He was the teacher of Emperor Hongzhi when he was the prince, and he was an important minister who had compiled "Xianzong Shilu".

Speaking of evaluation, it is nothing more than the characteristics that a traditional Confucian minister should have such as love of reading when he was young, noble conduct, and pure aspirations.

Of course, he's also talented.

In the eighth year of Hongzhi, the emperor wanted him to be promoted to the right servant of the Ministry of Officials. Unfortunately, his mother passed away. Even so, the emperor waited for him until he returned from filial piety, which shows that the emperor attached great importance to him.

Because of this, he dared to argue a few words in front of the emperor.

In the Nuan Pavilion of Qianqing Palace, the crown prince's words stunned everyone. To be honest, the last method was too wicked, not like what a prince should say, but like a hooligan.

So Hongzhi couldn't hold back when he heard it.

"Zhao'er! Don't be rude!"

Zhu Houzhao is not a brainless character, he knows when to fight and when to slow down.

For example, whenever the emperor opened his mouth, he would lower his head, so he held back his head, stopped talking, and made an expression as if he had been stricken with embarrassment.

On Wu Kuan's side,

That was so angry that his face turned pale, and his figure couldn't help shaking. Fortunately, Wang Jia who was beside him stepped forward to help him, and reminded: "Master Wu, this is the king. Besides, His Highness is young, Tong Yan Wuji."

Yes, this is Your Majesty,
Even if the crown prince pissed you off, you can't say anything like 'you bastard'.

Don't compete with the prince for this kind of IQ.

As for fighting by hand, don't even think about it.

If you want to live a good life, you have to be honest and reasonable.It is best for the prince to speak the truth, but if the prince does not speak the truth, he can only speak the truth.Otherwise, where will you put your status as a learned scholar?
So Wu Kuan could only suffocate his anger into his stomach, causing his face to turn red, his eyes round and bulging,

Suddenly he lifted his robe and knelt down again, kowtowed and knocked loudly,
Zhu Houzhao murmured in his heart: What about resigning from office?
"Your Majesty!" This sentence should have contained a lot of his suppressed emotions, and all the saliva spewed out, ""Zuo Zhuan" says: Aizi taught the righteous prescription, and if you don't love it according to the way, it is appropriate to harm it .His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had a heated argument with the minister today, because he couldn’t tell what is the greatest in the world and what is the most important thing in the country! As a minister of Zhan’s government, I can’t absolve myself of the blame! This is my fault!”

After all this is said, he is about to resign. Because Emperor Hongzhi is a better person, he seldom gets to this level, but sometimes civil servants want to resign. know the rhythm,
It's like that now.

Seeing that the matter was about to turn into a big mess, Hongzhi finally showed a bit of his father's majesty, "Prince, kneel down!"

Zhu Houzhao knelt down when he wanted to, anyway, it was impossible for him to admit his mistake.

"Mr. Wu, the prince is young and lacks discipline, which led to the situation today. But don't worry, what you said just now is too much to count. Prince,"

"My son is here."

"You must strictly discipline the eunuchs in the East Palace, and don't let them do those things that are harmful to nature. Mr. Wu has worked hard for the country, and he is an upright and loyal courtier, do you understand?"

"My son understands."

"In the future, you can't take personal risks and leave the palace at will, otherwise I will definitely punish you!"

Zhu Houzhao rolled his eyes, if you are willing to punish me, you are not Hongzhi.

"Your Majesty!" Wu Kuan was still suffering from the constriction in his chest. What a big deal a private visit in a micro-service is, how could it be settled with such a warning in the end?

As for the prince, if he speaks outrageously, it's just a light reprimand.

Thinking of this, whether it was Wu Kuan's emotions in his chest or his rational belief that he wanted to 'teach the prince well', it was difficult for him to settle this matter.

Otherwise, if such a thing is exposed so lightly, then the prince will not know what he will do next time!
The emperor pampered his son too much, which was irresponsible to the Ming Dynasty, and as a courtier, he just wanted to give advice!

"Your Majesty! The cases of Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty must be observed! I request Your Majesty's will to severely punish Zhang Yong, so as to make an example of others!"

Although Zhu Houzhao had explained it before, it was not Zhang Yong's fault.

But he is the prince, Wu Kuan can't say what to do with the prince, he can only punish the people around him, so that if the prince has such thoughts in the future, considering Zhang Yong's tragic ending, those people will not dare.

The most important thing is that Zhang Yong is an insignificant eunuch, so if he is punished, he will be punished.

This matter has become what it is today, and an important minister like Wu Kuan just wants to punish Zhang Yong, which is actually not too much.

Otherwise, wouldn't there be no explanation for the prince leaving the palace in micro-clothes?

Emperor Hongzhi was almost convinced. In the end, both sides were fighting against each other, and he was reluctant to punish both sides. At this time, people with low status were easily affected.

This is not determined by the merits of the matter itself, but by the power structure.

Zhang Yong became a victim of the pattern.

"I think it's wrong!" Zhu Houzhao suddenly said this loudly.

It's just that when he made such a sound, the Nuan Pavilion was instantly terribly quiet.
This is the prince... and Wu Kuan is on the bar.

At this time, everyone knelt down. If this continues, something big will happen today.

From intense to calm, from calm to intense...

"Emperor!" Empress Zhang was also flustered at this time. Originally, she would not be distressed if she punished Zhang Yong for pulling him down.

"Mother's queen!" Zhu Houzhao raised his head and raised his hands in a bow, and then said neither humble nor overbearing: "I respect Mr. Wu's words of seeking the country. But when I first entered the warm pavilion, I have already said that Zhang Yong persuaded my son, it is my son. Suppress him, what can he do as a slave? Since I have said this clearly, why should I punish Zhang Yong?! Therefore, I am puzzled at this point!"

"Furthermore, I have not been in school for a long time, but I have been taught by my gentlemen that a man should be responsible for one person's work! As long as I am a prince, it will definitely not happen that 'all merits are attributed to the superior, and all faults are blamed on the inferior'" Therefore, I do not want to do this at this time!"

When Zhang Yong listened to the prince's words, it was like a heavy drum beating on his chest.

Shocking inexplicable, moving inexplicably!
This is the character of what kind of person the owner will show!
"Your Highness! Please stop talking, Your Highness! My servant, thank you for your great kindness!" Zhang Yong couldn't wait any longer, with tears in his eyes, and bowed to the emperor. Thinking about presenting anecdotes outside the palace, and inducing His Highness to travel outside the palace, the crime is heavy, and it is a dangerous mistake! Your Majesty, please punish the crime of slaves!"

"Shut up! Do you think that father and Mr. Wu are fools when you tell such a lie?" Zhu Houzhao scolded mercilessly, and then continued: "Father and son took over Jiangshan from the ancestors. Naturally, we must keep it well. I heard from the gentlemen that the people's will cannot be violated! My son thought that guarding the country is the people's heart. What is the people's heart? The people don't pay attention to the small things that are close to them. Wouldn't it be cold to the people? The heart of the prince? I would rather not have the prince's holiness and virtue in exchange for the common people's disappointment!"

"Mr. Wu, let's judge from the bottom of our hearts. Do people care about whether I go out of the palace more, or whether their mother has medicine to treat illnesses, and whether their family members are bullied more? You say these are trivial things. Isn't this misleading the monarch and ignoring the hearts of the people? There are so many such things, can the majesty of the court and the sanctity of the palace be there?!"

Zhu Houzhao kowtowed to the emperor a few times, and then said seriously: "If Mr. Wu and all the ministers firmly believe that my palace has misbehaved and refuses to correct its mistakes, then I will ask my father to choose another talented person from the clan, and immediately For the crown prince! In short, my ministers want to take the small things of the common people as the big things!"

The crown prince said what the people said, and in the end he described Wu Kuan as a person who didn't take the people's affairs seriously. In fact, this is a kind of generalization.

But whoever makes these people easily use historical lessons and national righteousness to oppress them. You say big, I say small, and you say small is not as good as big, and I will use the word "people's heart" to crush you to death!

As for what kind of resignation was used to force the emperor, Zhu Houzhao was not ignorant of this trick. It is better to act first and suffer later. If you can resign, so can I!

See what you do!
