Wanli 1592

Chapter 247
The monarchs and ministers hate each other to such an extent, looking at the history of ancient and modern China and foreign countries, there is only one branch in the Ming Dynasty, and all these, where should we start to pursue?

Wang Xijue didn't know, and wouldn't know.

"Your Majesty, please calm down, everything is the fault of the minister!"

Anyway, it's enough to pick up good words. At this time, the emperor is just complaining, rather than questioning the crimes in a targeted sense. Wang Xijue is not worried.

"Your fault? No, no, no, how could you be wrong? You are all scholars and great masters, set your heart for the world! Establish your life for the people! To inherit the sages and learn! To create peace for all generations! What about you scholars? Can it be called wrong? It can only be said that the emperor is incompetent! Not only can't help you, but it will hold you back! You scholars and gentlemen are right! The emperor is wrong !right?!"

When Zhu Yijun opened his mouth, he scolded Wang Xijue bloodyly, with every sentence, pointing out the root of why scholars have been so awesome all these years. He traced the source of his hatred back to the Song Dynasty, which shows how much the emperor hated civil servants. How much politics is hated and how some of them gnash their teeth.

How can such deep prejudices be resolved?
Now that the matter has come to this point, Wang Xijue suddenly realizes how naive and ridiculous his idea of ​​reconciling the conflict between the monarch and his subjects is. These two parties are clearly irreconcilable rivals. Either you die or I die, but as a member of civil servants, Wang Xijue has no retreat at all.

"Your Majesty, please appease the fury of Thunder."

Wang Xijue closed his eyes in pain, knelt on the ground with his knees bent, trembling all over.

Zhu Yijun vented his anger happily. He was happy at first, but he didn't want to scold Wang Xijue, who was taken advantage of, but when he heard the greeting that was so pale that it was almost ironic, he really couldn't bear the anger in his patience. Today, he finally remembered a folk saying that he had heard from nowhere—********, everyone who has a heart is a scholar.

Daming gave you scholars the privilege of assisting the emperor in governing the world. Instead of being grateful, you want to completely take away this power from the emperor and turn the emperor into a useless mascot and a useless puppet. What is the purpose of Qingwu?What is it for?
But now seeing Wang Xijue kneeling on the ground and trembling, Zhu Yijun suddenly felt that it was useless to say any more words, he took a deep breath, then let it out, and waved his hands dejectedly.

"Get up! Come on, give me a seat!"

Wang Xijue felt relieved, breathed a few breaths of relief, tremblingly got up, and stood with his head bowed. When the jinduner bestowed by the emperor arrived, he only dared to sit on half of his buttocks, and did not dare to sit directly. with.

"What do you want me to do, just tell me, and I will listen."

Zhu Yijun threw out his words.

Wang Xijue breathed a sigh of relief again, and slowly said: "Your Majesty, the old minister is indeed here to establish the crown prince, but the old minister did not come to ask your majesty to appoint the eldest son as the crown prince."

Zhu Yijun asked slowly: "Then tell me, what are your thoughts? You came here to establish a prince, but you didn't persuade me to establish the eldest son of the emperor. Is it possible that you still want to persuade me to establish a second son? Mr. Wang Ge, Do you really don't want to be the chief minister of the cabinet? Are you not afraid of being drowned by the memorials of the officials?"

Zhu Yijun had a mocking smile on his face. He knew very well that the so-called political correctness of these civil servants meant that they could not stand on the same front with the emperor, otherwise they would be abandoned by everyone and become treacherous ministers, losing the basis for ruling, even if it was the cabinet. The ministers also ended up in the same way, so Shen Shixing and Xu Guo have always been the pawns of the ministers.

As for Wang Xijue's words, it sounded a bit rebellious. Could it be that this old guy really wanted to fight those scholars?Infighting?There is such a good thing in this world?

Zhu Yijun tried to use Grandpa Jiajing's tricks to divide the officials to maintain his dominance, but soon found that Grandpa Jiajing's tricks had been thoroughly understood by the courtiers, and they couldn't play anymore. Playing, it is impossible for Zhu Yijun to accept such a result, so he quickly gave up the self-defeating approach and played non-violent non-cooperation. He has nothing to do with the officials, and the officials have nothing to do with him.

It was precisely after Wang Xijue understood this point that he racked his brains to come up with a compromise strategy, but now it seems that this compromise strategy may not have the effect he imagined.

"The body of the old minister, although he died without regret, but His Majesty promised in the 18th year of Wanli that he would be canonized as the crown prince in the 21st year of Wanli. Now the whole court is waiting for His Majesty to make a decision and fulfill his promise. The only plan now, Your Majesty , if you continue to confront the officials, it may be disadvantageous to Ming Dynasty, therefore, the old minister suggests that Your Majesty, the three kings should be conferred together!"

"Three kings conferred together?"

These days Zhu Yijun is full of worries and joys. The joy is naturally that Xiao Ruxun won the big battle and got so much money for Daming, but the worry is that no matter how much money he can afford, he can't handle the appointment of the crown prince.

In the 18th year of Wanli, when the dispute between the country and the country was the most intense, Zhu Yijun was forced to hold the hand of the eldest son Zhu Changluo, and put on a show in front of the ministers, showing that the father and son of the Tian family have a strong family relationship, and it is not like the outside world. , to prevaricate the officials, and later said that the eldest son of the emperor was young and had to wait a few years before the canonization ceremony. At that time, it was a troubled time, and the officials saw the emperor's compromise and thought they had achieved a staged victory, so they agreed.

Now that the three-year period has come, the time has come for the emperor to fulfill his promise. All the ministers are looking forward to it, waiting to see the emperor fulfill his promise three years ago.

You are not joking, the emperor broke his promise, and the influence is not as great as usual.

Therefore, Zhu Yijun was very troubled. He still hated Zhu Changluo and liked Zhu Changxun. As a father and an emperor, he thought he had the right to decide who would be his heir and inherit this great land, but now he couldn't do it at all.

The eldest son, the eldest son, is all caused by the eldest son!
The most troublesome thing for Zhu Yijun, now that Wang Xijue said it, he seems to have found a way to solve it.

"The three kings are conferred together, the eldest son Chang Luo, the third son Chang Xun, and the fifth son Chang Gao are conferred the feudal lords at the same time, waiting for the crown prince. Wang Xijue, do you mean that?"

Wang Xijue nodded: "Exactly."

"Will the ministers agree? If I do this, will the ministers fail to see that I don't want to establish Chang Luo, but change Chang Xun's intention?"

Wang Xijue said: "Whether the ministers agree is not the most important thing, but that the three kings must be named. Your Majesty can say that this is for the sake of the eldest son, because the queen has been registered, but the queen has nothing to do. If the crown prince Afterwards, the empress gave birth again, how would the empress deal with herself? Therefore, His Majesty had no choice but to appease the empress's heart by conferring the title of three kings together. After a few years, if the empress still had not given birth, it would be the safest move to appoint a prince. "
