First Prince of Ming Dynasty Chapter 622

  Chapter 622 Muddy Waters

Six taels of silver and a piece of cloth is already a very big reward for an ordinary family. Only such auspiciousness is worthy of such a reward. From this, we can also know what the prince's attitude towards the so-called auspiciousness is. .

  The Minister of Rites is not an ordinary person, and he promised in a calm and steady tone, but the depression in his heart is self-evident. He originally wanted to present it when the emperor was away, but he didn't expect to go around and present it to the holy car.

  Zhu Biao naturally dismisses such auspiciousness in his heart, and it cannot enrich the country and strengthen the people, nor can it guarantee people's longevity and long-term vision, and it is not even enough to fill a person's belly.

  Zhu Biao is still willing to make some superficial articles, just because there are too many superstitious people in the world, including the officials who have read poetry and books in the current dynasty. Most of the scholars cannot get rid of the limitations of history to believe in materialism.

It is impossible to completely eliminate this kind of phenomenon for a moment, and it is not good to completely veto it. After all, Lao Zhu did not play this game less in the two years when he first founded the country. Choice is what it is.

  With such an attitude, and searching for contributors will no longer have the benefits of being promoted and making a fortune, naturally no one is willing to do such thankless things over time.

In fact, the theory of auspiciousness still depends on whether the people in power have actual needs. For example, when Wang Mang was in power, auspiciousness frequently fell. The heaven descends, the sweet spring emerges from the earth, the phoenix comes to the ceremony, and the gods descend to gather.

In the later period, Wang Mang felt that this vague auspiciousness was no longer enough to describe the legitimacy of his power, and the local officials immediately began to offer talismans, that is, the people dug out a white stone with red words on it that said "Sue An Hangong" Reckless as the emperor...

In the end, what is the Chidixie Liu Bang handed down to the emperor's golden policy book, which means that God wants Liu Bang to pass the world to Wang Mang, and it also records eleven outstanding people who were bestowed on him by God to assist the government, such as Wang Xing, Wang Sheng, etc. of.

Wang Mang began to look for these people after he ascended the throne by destiny. One guarding the city gate named Wang Xing went to find him and became General Wei and was named Feng Xin Gong. The other was selling pancakes on the street named Wang Sheng. Confused, he was also found to seal the Duke...

  If it's ridiculous, Wang Mang's rule of the world is like this, but their father and son don't need to be like this. At the beginning of the founding of the country, it was a last resort.

  Nowadays, their father and son are a little dismissive of this auspiciousness of destiny, and instead start to suppress it. Those who offer auspiciousness for no reason must have a plan.

The Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites returned to his original position, and Hu Weiyong went out to worship and fell to the ground: "A humble official with few virtues and little talent, fortunately, he is favored by heaven to be in the position. If he has no great merit in the country, how dare he receive this auspicious ear? Your Highness, please give me another gift." .”

Zhu Biao waved his hands and said with a smile: "Zhongshan King Zhongzheng is flawless, as bright as the sun and the moon. It is my Ming Dynasty's white jade pillars that support the sea and purple gold beams. Hu Xiang'anbang is also the pillar of the country. Humility."

  The four ministers of the Ministry of Punishment, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of War immediately followed Zhu Biao's words and praised Xu Da and Hu Weiyong.

  Zhu Biao glanced casually at the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and saw that after he smiled perfunctorily, he maintained a restrained posture, faintly isolated by the other ministers.

   You must know that the Ministry of Officials can be said to be the head of the six departments, and the Minister of the Ministry of Officials has the reputation of being a heavenly official. He is also a prominent official in the court. It stands to reason that no matter what they do in private, they should not be like this in front of Zhu Biao.

  Zhu Biao was naturally a little curious, but he didn't have the desire to find out. No matter whether they really disagreed, or Hu Weiyong deliberately introduced a suitable person to restrict himself, Zhu Biao would not follow up.

   Soon Hu Weiyong led the six ministers and retreated. Zhu Biao leaned slightly on the back of his chair and stared at the pattern on the top beam of the Huagai Hall in a daze, wondering if there would be a problem with the Beijing camp.

  Of course, it's just thinking about it, and it's just being prepared for danger in times of peace, not to mention that although most of the generals in the Beijing camp are thorny and reckless, their loyalty to the Zhu family can still be trusted.

It's just that the emperor left the capital and took away a group of the most loyal elite warriors from the Beijing camp, while Zhu Biao's own confidants and warriors were all arranged by him to guard the place. Xu Da, Feng Sheng, Fu Youde and other pillars were also outside, and Chang Yu It will take some time before spring returns.

  Some incidents at this time are indeed the most promising time since the founding of the country five years ago. Success or failure can cause chaos, which will undoubtedly muddy the water in this world even more.

  Zhu Biao's gaze moved down slightly, looking at the place where Hu Weiyong was sitting just now, do you have the courage? It's truly a once-in-lifetime opportunity.

  Assassination of kings in past dynasties is not uncommon. Of course, they are rarely successful, but they will all have a great impact. At least everyone in the world will know that the Zhu family is not yet stable.

  At least as long as something like this happens, even if Zhu Biao is not injured, Zhu Yuanzhang's plan to go to Mount Tai to sacrifice and the subsequent northern tour plan must be put on hold, and the angry emperor will inevitably set off even more **** killings when he returns to Beijing.

  The Wei Guan case has caused frequent rebellions in the south. Although the counterattack of some gentry clans is nothing to worry about, it is very scary to the people below. It will undoubtedly remind them of the tragic situation in the troubled times at the end of the Yuan Dynasty.

  For Hu Weiyong, the more chaotic the situation, the more chances he has to break it, otherwise it is almost impossible to change his ending. The most terrifying thing in this world is that you have to go when you know it is a dead end.

  If Zhu Biao is in Hu Weiyong's position, then he will definitely not let go of this opportunity. The worst situation is nothing more than pushing out a few confidants and martial arts, let them bite as much as possible before they die, and drag more people into the water.

When it comes to the crown prince, no matter who is suspected, he will be torn apart by the furious Zhu Yuanzhang. If there is a civil decline and military failure, the foundation of the Ming Dynasty will be broken, and it is unknown whether the new dynasty can continue. up.

But for Hu Weiyong, this game of chess is alive, whether it is to find an opportunity to stand on his own or to assist the Zhu family and his sons to rectify the country, it is good. There is a chance that an extremely human minister will be raised and die.

   "Ask Jiang Yu to come see me."

   "No."

Zhu Biao got up with a blank face, patted his butt, and walked towards Jinshen Hall. He still had memorials that had not been reviewed, and he didn't know how his father survived this period of time, no wonder he was so happy I just slapped my **** and went to the North Tour.

  With a cup of tea, Zhu Biao had just finished reviewing a memorial when he saw Liu Jin leading Jiang Yu straight in, who fell to his knees after three steps into the hall.

   "Jiang Yu, the pro-army Duwei Mansion has to pay more attention to the movement of the Beijing camp recently. If there is no order from the palace, whoever dares to mobilize the Beijing camp to take it immediately, you are allowed to kill first and then play if necessary."

Zhu Biao beckoned and Liu Jin immediately took out a nine-inch-by-five-inch token from the red sandalwood box behind the desk. Zhu Biao took it and walked up to Jiang Yu and said, "This is for you to keep it close to you. Unless you meet someone dispatching soldiers from the Beijing camp with a gold medal, you must not reveal it!"

  Jiang Yu's expression changed wildly, and even his body trembled slightly. He stretched out his trembling hands to take the real dragon gold medal. You must know that this is the first time that this order has been published since it was cast by the Ministry of Industry.

Holding the token, Jiang Yu lowered his head and said: "If your Highness suspects that someone has evil intentions, he will lead someone to take it down immediately. Even if there is no hard evidence at present, there is nothing that can't be found out if he is taken into the pro-military captain's mansion. Why do you have to do this?" , The soldiers are fierce, Your Highness, the foundation of the country, how can you take such a risk, Your Highness, please think twice!"

What the crown prince said just now is very clear. Even the treasure gold medal may appear, which undoubtedly involves the Zhongshu Province and the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion. Come out, where the talisman order arrives, it will be followed immediately, and those who violate it will be punished!

In this world, only the real dragon gold medal hidden in Jinshen Palace can be suppressed, but how could the Zhongshu Province or the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion murder His Royal Highness, Jiang Yu's face flushed with blood, and he didn't know whether it was fear or excitement .
