First Prince of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 583 Step by step

Chen Ning obviously didn't want to hear such words. He tossed his sleeves and said, Mr. Hu, my Mr. Mr. Hu! What time is this? You still have the time to tell the officials such nonsense.

Hu Weiyong has improved a lot since he defeated Wang Guangyang. He lost the impatience he had when he was confronting Yang Xian in the early years. It’s a step-by-step process, and it’s all gone through what happened last time, so you haven’t learned a lesson yet?”

Chen Ning's face darkened when he heard this, he beat his son with his own hands in order to gain fame, but he didn't expect to accidentally beat him to death, which made the emperor turn his back on him.

However, he could only endure the pain. If it weren't for Hu Weiyong's efforts to protect him, he would have been punished by the emperor for being unkind, let alone still serving as an official in Beijing.

Seeing that Chen Ning had calmed down, Hu Weiyong turned the topic over: Don't worry, this matter has little to do with the officials in court, especially you and I are both running and serving the Holy Majesty before we have achieved great careers, so why rush to express your opinion? .”

Chen Ning took a sip of tea and said, It's not that I'm in a hurry, it's that other colleagues are waiting for the Prime Minister's instructions, so you have to make up your mind so that everyone can work with peace of mind.

Hu Weiyong knew that these people were not waiting for him to make up his mind, but to use him as a shield. The sky might fall, so naturally he had to find someone taller to stand up.

To be honest, he didn't want to be the young bird, but being in this position would not allow you to back down. Only a prime minister who is supported by hundreds of officials is the most courteous prime minister, otherwise it will be Wang Guangyang's end sooner or later that everyone drags his feet back.

Those who rule the people will eventually be ruled by the people. This has been the truth since ancient times. Hu Weiyong pondered for a moment and said: The Zhongshu Province only obeys the holy order. The Ministry of War and the Governor's Office have nothing to do with this matter. The rest of the government officials should plead for the people.

I'm afraid it's still not enough. When the sun is shining today, Gan Gang has always been arbitrarily invigorating the might of the sky. If Hu Xiang and Zhongshu Sheng don't take the lead, it will be difficult to achieve success.

At this time, another person came in through the notification, it was the new censor Zhongcheng Tu Jie, who was also Hu Weiyong's confidant, Tu Jie entered the room to salute, and after roughly understanding the progress of the conversation, he stroked his beard and said: It was originally a situation of helplessness, but His Royal Highness Sealing the article gave me a chance to wait.

Chen Ning frowned and said, It's a big taboo in this dynasty to involve His Highness the Crown Prince. If you touch the dragon's reverse scale, you will die. It's not a day or two since Zhongcheng entered the court. Don't you know how powerful it is?

It's impossible, but once your Highness's article comes out, even if I don't get involved, the literati in various states will not cling to it? After all, Your Highness is a disciple of Song Longmen and a disciple of a famous sect. Is it possible that he will kill people because of this?

After Tu Jie asked Chen Ning back, he continued to turn to Hu Weiyong and said, Even if the Holy Majesty is furious, His Highness's reputation must be taken into account. That's the reason for the so-called throwing the mouse.

Hu Weiyong nodded and smiled and said, I remember that among those who justified Wei Guangao in the early court today were officials from the former Zhan Shifu. Combining this article, there will be a big article to do.

And Song Longmen hasn't returned to Beijing yet, so he should write a letter to me, the leader of the literary world of Ming Dynasty, Master Shilin.

Chen Ning thought for a while and said: The rest are easy to talk about. The General Manager Chen Youzong has always been cautious. He always regards the reputation of His Royal Highness as the most important thing. I am afraid that he has already warned those people in the former Zhan Shifu.

It's okay, it's too late to stop now, the situation is no longer important, the important thing is that the officials of the Eastern Palace pleaded for Wei Guangaoqi and others in the early court, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince publicly released this article to the world in the afternoon.

Hu Weiyong stretched out his hand and stroked his forehead and said: You still have to be measured. Your Highness is not easy, and you all know this. You can use His Highness's name, but don't dare to go too far.

Tu Jie replied: Master Xiang, don't worry, we will hold His Highness high, and we will definitely not get dust.

Chen Ning also nodded again and again, he had already provoked the Emperor's dislike, if he was disliked by the Crown Prince again, then his Chen family would really have to commit suicide.

When the small meeting dissipated, a group of officials and scholars from the Imperial Academy and the Ministry of Rites had already composed several poems praising the prince, especially Liang Lin, the head of the Ministry of Rites who was rewarded by Zhu Biao for his contribution to the fourth year of Hongwu, was the most active.

With the contact of Chen Ning, Tu Jie and others, the officials who wanted to plead for Wei Guan, Gao Qi and others became more and more courageous. Some even went to contact the students of the Guozijian, preparing to discuss an explanation for the literary scholars.

At this time, the father and son who were in the center of the storm were still bowing their heads to review the memorial. Obviously, they did not take this matter too seriously. After all, the Ming Dynasty was different from the Qin and Sui Dynasty. Although there were still some internal and external troubles, it was not enough to shake the foundation of the country.

Qin destroyed the six countries, Sui destroyed the north and the south, but Qin itself is one of the seven countries, and it has been married to the other six countries for many years. Part of the backlash in the early stage, this kind of backlash is mainly the backlash of the system adaptation period and the counterattack of the residual forces of the old era.

But Ming Dynasty was different. He was a new dynasty that was smashed and rebuilt. The remnants of the previous dynasty did not lie dormant, but were driven to Mobei to graze. With Yanyun as a barrier, there was no threat of counterattack.

That's why Lao Zhu has the heart to toss the gentry all over the world. Even if it's raining, beating children is idle. Otherwise, if it was the case of the Qin and Sui Dynasties, he would be too busy to be a paper backer.

The father and son were busy until the evening, and Empress Ma had already sent people to remind them several times. She estimated that if it was not over, she would personally arrange for them to put aside their government affairs and have dinner first.

Zhu Biao got up and sent his father to Qianqing Gate first, and then turned around and walked towards his East Palace. Fugui arranged a sedan chair for the prince to take, but he refused. It is better to walk for a day, and Zhu Biao is also used to thinking while walking.

Zhu Biao returned to the East Palace when the sky was completely dark. He took a bath to relieve his fatigue before eating in a hurry, and then had dinner with Chang Luohua. Naturally, there were his two sons, but they had already eaten together. I've had enough.

Chang Luohua didn't use much for dinner, and after that, he served dishes for his husband, but there was nothing to serve, there were only a few dishes in total, and he was just enjoying the couple's atmosphere.

After eating a bowl of rice and half a pancake, Zhu Biao put down his chopsticks, rinsed his mouth with warm water and asked, Mrs. Chen has been here?

I've been here, the Chen family knows the etiquette. Mrs. Chen first went to Kunning Palace to thank the queen mother, and then came here to thank the concubines. Then she went to Tong Yunqing to talk for a while, and soon left .”

Zhu Biao nodded and said: In the future, you can look at the arrangements for this kind of thing, and you will get some kindness.

Chang Luohua responded with a smile, she is extremely intelligent, so she naturally knows that this kind of right seems to be nothing, but for women in the inner courtyard of the palace, being able to see their natal family is something that they have been longing for.

There are not many women in the East Palace now, but two more people will come in next month, and I am afraid there will be no fewer than four or five in the second half of the year, and it will soon become lively year after year.

But fortunately, my husband is not the kind of man who will be fascinated by enchantment. As long as he is upright, no matter how many women are, he will not be able to make waves.

Zhu Biao beckoned to take the eldest son and hugged him in his arms. The baby who was breastfeeding all day smelled like milk, and the little one was very caring in his arms. Although he didn't like children very much, it was his own after all. .

I'm getting fatter, you guys are serving me well, but if you have anything you want, please let me know.

The four big-hearted nurses hurriedly knelt down: Thank you, Your Highness, the prince. The servants who serve the emperor's grandson are often rewarded by the princess and the empress. I dare not ask for extravagance.

Zhu Biao loves his children very much today, but there is nothing to reward the baby dolls, so he can only reward their nanny as a token of appreciation.

These four nannies were all selected by thousands of people, and they were taken into the palace right after giving birth, and Zhu Biao felt a little guilty because he had never nursed a single child of his own.

He squeezed his son's fat and tender calf like a lotus root and said with a smile: I haven't seen my parents and children for several months, Fugui, arrange guards to send two of them home to visit tomorrow, and send the other two the next day.

As soon as this remark had a remarkable effect, the four nannies couldn't help kowtowing excitedly to thank them. Although they often sent rewards home, they had never seen their own flesh and blood before.

Chang Luohua also took the youngest son and said: If there are too many, there will be no more rewards. There are still a lot of new cakes in the palace. Let's take them back tomorrow and let your in-laws have a taste.

The servants thanked His Royal Highness, the princess, and the servants will definitely serve the two little emperors and grandchildren in the future...
