eldest son of Ming dynasty

Chapter 718: The imperial power is majestic, and those who rebel against it will perish.

In fact, when it comes to impeachment, Zhang Cong was also impeached by many people.

When it was first reported that the elite gentry had been eliminated, many people reported to the emperor that he was arrogant and arrogant, or had a violent temper, and allowed his servants to do evil, etc.

But like most court battles, what the story was was one thing, and what the emperor wanted to believe it was was another.

Zhu Houzhao is determined to use Zhang Cong, and no one can stop him.

When there are more people in the cabinet,

Only Wang Hao and Yang Tinghe were left.

The imperial edict has been issued, Yang Yiqing is no longer a cabinet minister, the government and the public are shocked, and then there is a few days of silence.

Wang Hao and Yang Tinghe chose something that the emperor could not refuse and entered the palace again.

It was Wang Bing's granddaughter who got married.

When the emperor promised, he must keep his promise. Women's youth only lasts for a few years. It would be too deceptive if it were delayed.

Besides, Wang Bing is still alive, and her granddaughter is happily married to a good family, so she might not be able to get better.

This matter cannot be caused by getting angry, let alone by others. Zhu Houzhao can only decide it in person, and the palace door is finally opened.

But Zhu Houzhao did not meet with the two ministers in the Qianqing Palace, but in the pavilion outside.

"...Has the Wang family's daughter-in-law made any requests? What kind of family does she want her daughter to find?"

Wang Hao said: "I asked someone to ask, and he said that I don't want to be rich or powerful, or climb high walls or go deep into the courtyard. I just want to be a scholar and keep my peace."

"These are people's humble words. Do you believe it? Every ordinary soldier who fights for the country must be compensated by the court and his family will be well settled. Wang Ge is always my loyal minister. How can I be rash with his granddaughter? Even if there is such a thing If something unbearable happens, I have to support the Wang family’s granddaughter, and I can’t let her be bullied.”

"Yes, your Majesty values ​​affection and righteousness, and everyone in the palace is grateful to His Majesty." Wang Hao said as he glanced at Yang Tinghe.

Yang Tinghe said: "Your Majesty, I heard what the imperial doctor said, since it is a happy event, then hurry up and do it. It is always good to bring some happiness. I am afraid... I am afraid that the man's family will care, so I have an abrupt request, Your Majesty Yes."

"Go ahead."

"How about the old minister accepting Mr. Wangge's granddaughter as his adopted granddaughter?"

Zhu Houzhao was a little surprised, "There are adopted sons and daughters, but are there any adopted granddaughters?"

"Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures."

"If the palace agrees, I have no objection."

"Yes." After saying that, Yang Tinghe quickly took something out of his sleeves, "Your Majesty, these are a few young talents selected by me. They have good family backgrounds, age, and character. They can be your grandson-in-law."

"Well, I'll take a look first."

The so-called well-matched family, and the emperor specifically supports him, then the status of the man's family cannot be lowered.Not to mention he is also a governor.

But Zhu Houzhao didn't feel anything after seeing it, "Are there any conditions for me to meet the real person?"

The two veterans looked at each other and said, "Your Majesty, although the four people on the list are all from official families, is it too much of a favor for Your Majesty to summon them? Besides, if they are not selected..."

"It makes sense. You have considered it more carefully. Now, I will ask Concubine Xian to call the Wang family's daughter-in-law and granddaughter into the palace. Women can always have some personal talk with each other. When the time comes, they will let them choose. They chose me before proposing the marriage, so as not to blindly make random arrangements and end up doing bad things with good intentions. Wouldn't I be sorry for Mr. Wang Ge?"

Well... Although this is a bit complicated.

But it wasn't the key point. Wang Hao and Yang Tinghe didn't bother to say more, and then they agreed.

This first meeting between the emperor and his ministers ended in such a tepid manner.

After they started this, others gradually learned the lesson and began to find something special to do with the emperor on an ice-breaking trip.

At this time, Yang Yiqing also packed his bags and prepared to set off.

Many things sounded like the earth was shattering, but the moment the order was truly received, there was peace afterwards.

From being sought after by tens of thousands of people to having only a handful of people, even though the world is in trouble, Yang Yiqing is not a young man who just entered the court, so he is naturally not surprised.

The royal guards in the palace also sent news to Zhu Houzhao.

The emperor said: "His car and horses left the city and went far away to the northwest to be happy. There was mare's milk and mutton. It was such a peaceful hideout. He will never hear the hustle and bustle in the palace again."

"I believe that even if Yang Yingning is calm on the surface, he must be turbulent in his heart. He will be reluctant to leave as the next generation of the Holy King."

"Haha." Zhu Houzhao laughed briefly, "I don't believe such nice words. But there is such a person in Xinjiang, and I feel relieved. That place is a barren land in the eyes of many people. I was thrown there and I want to miss it. He doesn’t have much either.”

"Yes, the key now is not Yang Yingning, but Mao Weizhi. His reputation has spread throughout the world. He has been an official for many years and has many close friends. It will not be long before there is another wave of momentum."

"Yes." Zhu Houzhao nodded without surprise. He crossed his hands and said, "Jin Gui, what do you think we should do?"

"Wei Chen dare not say it, Wei Chen has selfish motives."

"Don't be afraid if you have selfish motives. Who doesn't have selfish motives?"

"Yes. I have the courage to ask Your Majesty to spare Mao Weizhi."

Zhu Houzhao's eyes showed a fierceness that he had rarely seen before, "You are the chief attendant of the attendant's room. You have been following me for more than ten years. I always have a reason for doing things. Why should I deal with him? Don't you know?"

"Weichen knows. But Weichen also knows that His Majesty is so smart that it is difficult to find him in the world, so Weichen feels that Your Majesty must have a way. Weichen thinks it is worthwhile to use his brain for an honest minister who serves the country and the people."

"It's worth nothing. If I don't give him some trouble, everyone in the world will think that Emperor Zhengde is a temperless master!"

Jin Gui added: "But Your Majesty, the court has been in chaos and has just stabilized. If there is another turmoil now, it will not be a good thing. I think that Your Majesty can be patient for the time being and avoid the limelight. It will not be too late to deal with any trouble later!"

Zhu Houzhao's expression changed. Although his tone was calm, he seemed to be full of strength, "Should I avoid their limelight? I think you are out of your mind?"

"The humble minister is being abrupt."

"You said this is your selfishness, so I don't blame you. Go now, nod the heads of those who have pleaded with Mao Ji, hand them a note, and then give them a time to come together. See me."

Zhu Houzhao touched his chin and said: "Oh, no. Why are you still here worrying about such trivial things? Let Xie Pi do it for you. Aren't you going to go to Zhang Cong? To assist him in formulating measurement procedures, recruiting and training personnel, This matter is the big deal. As for this court, no one can make trouble in my presence!"

"Yes, I obey the order." Jin Gui kowtowed, "Your Majesty, although what I said today is selfish, I still ask your Majesty to think twice. Mao Ji is a rare and virtuous minister. No need, it is to shake the imperial court, and your Majesty will shake it. !”

Zhu Houzhao just waved his hand lightly to let him leave, and then said to himself, "What a virtuous minister, sometimes it is not up to them to be virtuous or unvirtuous."

He just wants to use Mao Ji to tell the people of the world that the imperial power is majestic and those who rebel against it will perish.
