high official

Chapter 445 I want to move the capital
"Your Majesty, hurry up at eight hundred miles!" Li Yan, the servant on duty, entered the inner room and whispered.

"Didn't you see that I was playing chess with the master?" Zhu Di was full of evil spirits, which happened to be directed at the head of the dead eunuch.

"Yes, but the emperor had a decree that Babaili should play it straight away immediately, no matter what the situation..." Li Yan said bravely.

"Your Majesty's state affairs are important, so I will take my leave first." Yao Guangxiao got up and said.

"You are not allowed to leave!" Zhu Di refused, "We will wait until I really win a round with you."

"The emperor will deal with state affairs first." Yao Guangxiao had no choice but to say, "I'll just go and wait aside."

"No need, just sit down." Zhu Di shook his head, and said to Li Yan: "Submit it. I'll see where the uneasiness arises again."

Eunuch Li stepped forward on his knees, holding up the urgent report with both hands.Zhu Di stretched out his hand to take it, looked at the cover of the memorial, and checked the seal on the baking varnish, and saw clearly written on it, "Imperial Envoy Shanxi Xuanfu Envoy Wang Xian" nine embossed characters, the emperor laughed and said: "So There is a letter from Shanxi." But he was not in a hurry to open the seal, but handed the memorial to Yao Guangxiao and said, "Master, let me have a look."

Yao Guangxiao shook his head and said, "My eyes are so dazzled that I can't see anymore."

"You don't want to read it." Zhu Di laughed loudly and said, "I don't want to read it either," he threw it back into Li Yan's arms and said, "I don't want to read such made-up things, it's a waste of time!"

"Ah..." Li Yan hugged the memorial, not knowing what to do. "The emperor hasn't opened the seal yet."

"Does Kaifeng still need to be opened?" Zhu Di said with a smile: "The eight hundred li in Shanxi is expedited, and the third guard of Jin Wang is in charge of the military post. If it is really that kind of earth-shattering memorial, it will be detained halfway." The emperor said mockingly: "Can you pass the report of King Jin, what's the taste?"

"The emperor is holy..." Li Yan was secretly convinced, and asked for instructions: "Then how to deal with this memorial?"

"Send it to the cabinet and let Hu Guang and Yang Shiqi look at the draft." Zhu Di said wearily.

"Ah?" Even Li Yan, who has been in the imperial court for many years and knows the rules best, couldn't help but be astonished.Knowing that it is a compiled memorial, it is too unreasonable to hand it over to the cabinet for drafting... The so-called drafting means that after reading the memorial on behalf of the emperor, first write the review comments into a note, paste it on the cover of the memorial, and then write it down. Ask the emperor for approval.This kind of preliminary trial system can greatly reduce the workload of the emperor, and it is a compromise method that Zhu Di came up with when he was suffering from illness.

From the emperor's point of view, this would save him a lot of time, and he would not have to worry about losing his power, which really killed two birds with one stone.As for whether this is really the case, only time will tell...

"Ah, what?" Zhu Di waved his hand, chasing Li Xi away like a fly, "That's why you can't be a bachelor, you can only serve others."

"Yes." Li He had no choice but to back away sullenly, thinking that our family was shot while lying down...

After Li He stepped back, Zhu Di's expression became more and more sleepy. He glanced at Yao Guangxiao and said, "You are a good student. Although I knew it would be like this, but as expected, I was still discouraged for a while." Said sarcastically : "Even young people who have just entered the officialdom are self-taught. It seems that deceiving the superiors is really the way to be an official!"

"Hehe," Yao Guangxiao squinted his triangular eyes, as if he had fallen asleep, and after a while he mumbled, "There is a saying that goes 'If you're not crazy, you're not deaf, you don't have to be a family member'..."

"Don't be a fool, don't be deaf, don't be the head of the family..." Zhu Di repeated, and sighed quietly: "Yes, some things can only be opened and closed, otherwise this day will not be able to pass."

This is the second time in a row that Zhu Di said that life is difficult. Yao Guangxiao's triangular eyes flashed a strange light, but it was fleeting.

"But!" Zhu Di was Zhu Di after all, the majestic Emperor Yongle, how could he swallow his anger because of anyone?He suddenly raised his voice and said: "On my way back to the south, the spirits of thousands of soldiers are watching me in the sky! I promised them that the murderer will be severely punished. No matter who caused all this, even my son, he will be severely punished! "As he said, he flicked the chessboard angrily, "But my three-way angel only thinks about making big things small and small things small. How to explain to those thousands of soldiers, how to explain to the subjects of the world!"

At this point, Yao Guangxiao couldn't sit still anymore, he stood up slowly with his crutches on his hands and said: "The emperor calms down, although I didn't read my bastard's memorial, I also know that although he is stupid, he is not so stupid as to wipe other people's buttocks." , make yourself a shit."

"Oh?" Zhu Di glanced at him, "Do you dare to say that the memorial is not to wipe some people's ass."

"Dare." Yao Guangxiao said indifferently: "At most, he didn't mention some people, and he would never say good things for others."

"Isn't it enough not to mention it?" Zhu Di sneered: "If you don't mention it, you will be punished!"

"He didn't mention it, but he left room for it. If the emperor wants to continue the investigation, he can send his memorials back for another trial." Yao Guangxiao said: "But before the retrial, please ask the emperor to transfer the three guards of Taiyuan away from Shanxi, or Send the young army to Taiyuan... "The old man is getting old, and it's hard to find a successor, and I don't want him to die in Taiyuan for no reason. " Yao Guangxiao said with lowered eyelids.

Zhu Di looked at Yao Guangxiao in surprise, "It's been 12 years, and you actually pleaded for someone else?"

12 years ago, Yao Guangxiao begged Zhu Di not to kill Fang Xiaoru, leaving behind the seeds of scholars in the world, but unfortunately...

"That time it was for state affairs, this time it was purely private." Yao Guangxiao raised his eyelids and said with a smile full of vicissitudes.

"Hehehe..." Zhu Di was also a little distracted. At that moment, too many bloody memories emerged in his mind. It was a memory that Zhu Di had become more and more reluctant to touch over the years. There were too many crazy, ferocious and inhumane memories. , after the momentary pleasure and shock, it became the long-term nightmare of his executioner. Every time he closed his eyes, people like Fang Xiaoru, Tie Xuan, Qi Tai, Huang Zicheng were covered in blood, and they brought their families and their mouths with them. Follow him and demand his life.Long-term sleepless nights directly caused the emperor's health to deteriorate and his temper to be moody...

It took a while for Zhu Di to come back to his senses, and said with a bitter smile: "Actually, I can't kill him without your pleading. I'm not an unreasonable person. I know that with his strength, under such circumstances, he can achieve such a goal. The result is already a miracle." Zhu Di was a little speechless, and after a while he said: "I just annoy him for thinking too much about the prince, and I expected him to put me first."

Yao Guangxiao said heartily, isn't this wishful thinking? Why do people put you in the most important position?You are stingy when you see Wang Xian, but the prince undresses him and pushes him to eat, let alone the grandson treats him like a brother... If he still regards you as the most important thing, then he is really a white-eyed wolf.Of course, you can't say that, the old monk said with a faint smile: "After all, he hasn't met the emperor yet, he thinks the prince is the sky..."

"Sit in the well and watch the sky." Zhu Di said with a smile: "When he comes back to Beijing, I will meet him and let him know how big the sky of the Ming Dynasty is!"

"Hehe..." Yao Guangxiao smiled, he had already said what he said, and any more words would be superfluous.

"This case..." Zhu Di's childishness was only a blink of an eye, and then he recovered his gloomy expression and said, "Is it really going to stop at the level of corruption? Don't investigate further?"

Yao Guangxiao said heartily, you don't even read it, just let the cabinet draw up the draft, isn't that what you mean to stop here?It's just that the emperor needed to go down the stairs. He happened to meet him, so he had no choice but to be a ladder, saying: "It depends on what the emperor means. If you look further down, there may be another big earthquake in the court of Ming Dynasty, please think again. "

"Oh, I don't know..." Zhu Di held his hands behind his back and started to walk slowly. There were two paths in front of him, one was to investigate thoroughly, and the other would not be missed.But what if he finds out his newly established King Jin, or even his own son?In order to fight for his chair, how many sons are vying to cheat him to death?If that's the case, Zhu Di's old face will be completely lost, and he still wants to be an emperor through the ages?It's almost a laughingstock through the ages.What's more, Zhu Di is getting older, and his feelings for his two sons are getting deeper. He is not willing to go to the point where father and son doubt each other. When the eldest son becomes the crown prince, he is not his son, but his opponent...

The other is to stop the case at this point, let Zhang Chun and his gang act as scapegoats, and not pursue it further. The advantage of this is that the emperor does not have to lose face, and he can take the opportunity to beat his restless sons, so that several sons will have sex with each other. The severely tilted balance of power has regained its balance.As a mature emperor, he has naturally realized that the way to be a king does not lie in killing and making decisions, but in balance.Only by allowing all forces to have room to survive and form a balance of opposites can the court be stable and the emperor have authority.He absolutely does not allow one family to dominate!

In fact, the prince was punished so miserably, isn't it because the princeling party is too powerful, and the prince's prestige of benevolence even overwhelmed him, a cruel emperor?

Naturally, doing this would make the soldiers feel sorry for the dead, and it wouldn't make me happy either.But the dead are gone, let's take care of the living, as for being unhappy... have there been fewer heartwarming things since becoming the emperor, and not many more?

.

"Alas..." After a long silence, the emperor finally spoke, but said something irrelevant: "I want to move the capital."

"The emperor has made up his mind?" Yao Guangxiao was not surprised at all.

"I've made up my mind a long time ago, but I just don't know how to talk to my ministers," Zhu Di said with his hands behind his back, "What's the use of raising a son? Isn't it just to share the worries of the emperor? When you go to lecture to the prince, you can mention it and see him." What's the meaning."

"People outside the old monk's side..." Yao Guangxiao said with a wry smile.

"I have ordained your apprentice!" Zhu Di smiled and said, "Let him accompany you as an outsider!" Zhu Di was so proud, you old dog finally has something to pinch!

"Alas..." Yao Guangxiao smiled even more bitterly, "I wish I could, but it's a pity that the women in his family don't allow it."
