Traveling through: The down-and-out beauty refuses to be cannon fodder

Chapter 87

How should I react?
Fang Yuanzhi didn't want to continue this topic, so he put away the piccolo: "Let's set off tomorrow, we will arrive in Chun'an in two days."

Zhu Jian's eyes darkened.

"I'll finish my business earlier, so I can go home earlier to recuperate." Fang Yuanzhi spoke a little weakly.

"it is good."

For the next two days, they took a carriage and went straight to Chun'an.Because Fang Yuanzhi hadn't recovered yet, she could no longer serve as a guard, but Zhu Jianshen insisted that she would still be by his side.

After getting out of the carriage, it was Fang Li who was waiting.Fang Lidao: "This is the house of brother Shang Lu's family. Today is holding a birthday banquet. There are many guests. It is not awkward for us to go in."

The three of them walked to a secluded courtyard, and from a long distance away, they saw the elegant Shang Ren standing at the door to greet them.

"The old man pays homage to His Majesty." Shang Renxing knelt down and saluted.

Zhu Jianshen took a few steps quickly, and personally supported Shang Ren, his words were full of amiability: "Shangqing is handsome and handsome, and his demeanor remains the same as before."

Shang Ren was ashamed and saluted again: "I can't afford to be called such a title by Your Majesty."

After exchanging pleasantries, a group of people entered the room, Zhu Jianshen took a seat, Shang Ren refused for a long time before taking his seat, Fang Yuanzhi and his father Fang Li were about to go out, but Zhu Jianshen said: "Yuan Zhi, come and make tea."

Shang Ren glanced at Fang Yuanzhi and immediately lowered his eyelids, Fang Li stared at his daughter before going out.

After three rounds of tea, Zhu Jianshen came straight to the point: "Now Mr. Peng Ge is on leave, and Mr. Li Ge has passed away. There is an urgent need for pillars of talent in the court. I hope Mr. Ge can offer advice and relieve my worries for the court and me."

Shang Ren got up and bowed to the ground, with an excited expression: "Your Majesty came to Chun'an with a body of ten thousand gold, regardless of previous suspicions, which flattered and frightened the old man. I would like to repay my emperor's great kindness with all my heart."

Zhu Jian smiled deeply: "At the beginning, the emperor was very determined to change the crown prince. If I were in the situation at that time, I would do the same. I don't mind, and I hope the old man doesn't mind."

Shang Ren burst into tears.

At the beginning, he supported Emperor Jingtai to abolish the prince Zhu Jianshen, and made Zhu Jianji, the son of Emperor Jingtai, the prince.It's a pity that Zhu Jianji was short-lived and died not long after.After Zhu Qizhen was restored, this incident became a knife hanging over his head.Especially when Zhu Jianshen ascended the throne as emperor, he was always worried that Zhu Jianshen would settle accounts for what happened back then.

Now hearing the words of forgiveness spoken by the sufferer himself, how can I not be moved to tears?
Shang Ren wiped away his tears, and quickly got to the point: "I think that in the current situation, eight strategies should be implemented to stabilize the court."

Zhu Jianshen was as humble as a valley: "Ge Lao said nothing wrong, I will listen with all my ears."

"One strategy is to study diligently. May Your Majesty be diligent in imperial sutra banquets, maintain the holy body, and specialize in the study of holy learning."

Zhu Jianshen was noncommittal about this: "The matter of Jingyan has been established, and lectures will be held on the second, 22th, and [-]nd of each month. It has been more than two years."

In fact, he was personally sick of the red tape of the opening feast.It's just a way for civil servants to use this matter to brainwash the emperor.

But Shang Lu said: "The Sutra banquet lasts for a whole day, and it is the best way for all the ministers to meet the Holy Spirit at close range."

Zhu Jianshen suddenly realized.

He remembered that at the Jing banquet, except for Huichang Hou Sun Jizong, everyone else was a scholar-born civil servant.Although the ten-day meeting was long and boring, it allowed the ministers to observe the emperor's physical condition at close range, which was much more effective than the distant glance in the early court.

Is this a way to protect the emperor in a curve for the civil servants who are usually difficult to face the saint at close range?
Seeing that Zhu Jianshen understood the profound meaning, Shang Ren continued to talk about the second article:
"The second policy is accepting advice. For example, Luo Lun was compiled by the Hanlin Academy. This person was the first Jinshi in the second year of Chenghua, and he was from Ji'an, Jiangxi. He was resigned because of his resistance to Shulun Li Xianqi."

Shang Ren gave Zhu Jianshen a deep look.

Zhu Jianshen made it clear: "Mr. Ge always said that Luo Lun, like Mr. Peng Ge, belonged to the Jiangxi School, and he had long been at odds with Mr. Li Ge's Northern School officials. He used the Jiangxi School as a side view, and watched Huichang Hou and Li Ge from a distance. fighting each other?"

Shang Ren was very happy that Zhu Jianshen made sense, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty is right. If Luo Lun is recalled, Mr. Peng Ge's leave will be over soon."

This is what made Zhu Jianshen seek the support of the Jiangxi faction.

Zhu Jian groaned deeply.His father, Zhu Qizhen, didn't trust the Jiangxi faction at all, and only used Li Xian from the northern faction.

Shang Ren said: "Since Yang Shiqi served the East Palace in the Yongle Dynasty, the Jiangxi faction's influence in the court cannot be underestimated. Although the former emperor used the eunuch Wang Zhen to suppress the Jiangxi faction, the effect was limited. Instead of staying away, it is better to win over temporarily."

Zhu Jianshen nodded: "What Ge Lao said is true."

Seeing that Zhu Jianshen could listen, Shang Ren went on to say, "Kong Gongxun was impeached and sent to prison by the officials because he said, 'Zhu Yong is the only one in the general army'. The reason is that Kong Gongxun is the son-in-law of Li Xiange. If you are a representative of the Northern faction and a Confucian sage, if he can be exonerated and returned to his post, the Northern faction will support His Majesty even more."

This time, not only Zhu Jianshen, but also Fang Yuanzhi, a political rookie, understood that Shang Ren's move was a move of four or two.Pardon one or two key people, give a clear signal to all officials, and express the emperor's inclination and preference.

The rest of the specific affairs are completed by the officials of each faction.

Zhu Jianshen sighed that Shang Ren deserved to be a great talent in Lianzhong Sanyuan.His proposals may seem ordinary, but there is a deep meaning behind them.

Kong Gongxun is the son-in-law of Li Xian. He was an official to Zhan Shifu, the young Zhan Shi and Zuo Chunfang Zuo Yude, but he was straightforward and out of the ordinary.When Zhu Jianshen first came to the throne, he changed Kong Gongxun to Zuo Shaoqing of Dali Temple.But Kong Gongxun was unhappy, and he said he didn't know the name of punishment, and finally he was reinstated as an official.

Shang Ren continued: "The three strategies are the reserve generals."

Zhu Jianshen's pupils shrank.

This is the most important thing, and it is also his biggest shortcoming at present.He didn't even know how to start to make amends.

There are three major battalions defending the safety of the capital, the Five Army Battalion, the Three Thousand Battalion, and the Shenji Battalion.Among them, the fifth army battalion has the largest number of people, with nearly 8 first-class officers; 5000 people in the three thousand battalion;

When he ascended the throne, the Fifth Army Battalion was in charge of Huichang Hou Sun Jizong and his wings.The Three Thousand Battalion was in charge of Huaining Hou Sun Tong.Shenji Camp is in charge of Funing Bo Zhu Yong.

As a result, only five or six months later, shortly after the queen was established, he discovered that the queen Wu was the niece of Huaining Hou Sun Tong, and Niu Yu, the eunuch who was the chief inspector of ceremonies when the first emperor was in charge, was also hooking up with Huaining Hou Sun Tong.

The army, the inner court, and the harem are all in collusion. How can he sit firmly on the throne?
With the support of Li Xian and Sun Jizong, he quickly dismissed Sun Boring, abolished Empress Wu who had only been established for a month, and Niu Yu was also dispatched to Nanjing.

In this struggle, Sun Jizong, the Marquis of Huichang, died a younger brother, Sun Xianzong.

As compensation to the Sun family, Zhu Jianshen had no choice but to make Wang the queen.

However, he also understands that behind the Wang family is the Sun family, and he dare not even touch the queen.

He handed over the [-] battalion to Funing Bo Zhu Yong, and Zhu Yong recommended Xiangcheng Bo Guo Deng. Only then did he easily secure the throne and have the energy to counter the Guangxi rebellion.
