Chapter 324: The wrath of the sky and the resentment of the people are necessary
As the crown prince, Zhu Jianshen has worked very hard.
Especially after knowing his father's illness, he lived in the Eastern Palace Supervisor and grew up constantly every day. The Tian family was selfless and was born in the imperial family. He had already known it very much.
When an order was heard in the palace to reign him, in fact, many things were obvious to him. What he had to do was to make himself strong as much as possible so that he could take over this huge empire at a certain moment, and he would not be in a hurry or lose his imperial power.
He was like a sponge that had been exposed to the scorching sun for several months. At this moment, he was put into the ocean of various knowledge, desperately absorbing his useful things, the way to be the king and the way to govern. These knowledge are complicated and it is not an exaggeration to spend too much time. However, only he knew it for sure, I am afraid that there is not too much time left for himself.
The East Palace is now a place full of talents, and officials who are willing to rely on the East Palace and run for him can also line up from Dongzhimen to Xizhimen. How to control these officials, or how to make these officials full of their talents, has been a serious matter that he has been quite sad recently.
Regardless of whether he admits it or not, there is a large enough group around him, and everyone in this group, no matter what position he is in now, will definitely be his new minister after he ascends the throne in the future.
The so-called era when the emperor and his ministers belong to his father and uncle has passed. The old ministers should also give up their positions to these new ministers.
Finally, some people are reluctant to become the yellow flowers of yesterday. They are in love with each other, and they will even secretly cause some minor troubles for the prince to show their existence. In the past, Zhu Jianshen generally would not care about all this. If such a temptation is not available, that would be a bad thing. This shows that the prince Zhu Jianshen is already quite unpopular, and these people are already determined to go against him.
Most of these people are scholars.
Zhu Jianshen didn't like these scholars very much, but he knew that the court could not lack these scholars, which made him feel embarrassed sometimes. Sometimes he wanted to use excuses to cure a few guys who jumped out. These guys were confident and well-founded. The result of the rectification of them was likely to cause a loss.
If you ignore them, they always find something to make things difficult for you and make you unhappy.
These guys are so good at speaking. Everything can tell you about the family rules of the ancestors and the safety of the court. Even if you don’t exaggerate, you always use "My ministers are thinking about your highness. Your highness will become a wise king in the future..." Such words will disgust him.
So far, whenever a guy like Zhu Jianshen is in front of Zhu Jianshen, "I am thinking about your highness...", Zhu Jianshen will put these guys into the "unreusable" list in his heart.
What do he want these guys to do for themselves? They can think about the court and the people, just because they think about themselves. They are afraid that when they say this, they will think more about their future and their own power!
Guys like Xu Bai and Qin Ji never say they think about themselves in front of him, but as long as they command, they will do their best to do it for themselves. In Zhu Jianshen's heart, this is the person who really thinks about themselves, although perhaps they really can't do something big to make peace and stability.
In his heart, Xu Bai and others may not have the ability to Dingbang in Anguo and cannot compare with a talent like Shangluo, but they are determined not to be bullied by outsiders. For three consecutive days, starting with the memorial of the impeachment of the Jinyiwei on the judge of the Salt Yun in Shandong. Then the censor of the Censorate, several officials from the six ministries, and even a group of officials who did not know where he jumped out. One by one, the impeachment memorial flew up like snowflakes.
Although the impeachment was the arrogant and domineering Jinyiwei's life, these impeachments were all aimed at Xu Bai, the commander of Jinyiwei, and these people were all coming for his people.
Although Zhu Jianshen may be a bit far away as a qualified monarch, he still has the minimum political sensitivity. Xu Bai is the one who has the label of Zhu Jianshen on his forehead. The court is attacking each other. Do these guys really just can't stand Xu Bai's actions?
It is worth mentioning that all the memorials are civil officials and military generals, and there is not a single one.
Zhu Jianshen became alert. He felt that some people in the court were targeting him as the prince. These people were showing his muscles to him. As for the specific matters of their impeachment of Xu Bai, it was actually not important. These people just wanted to see how he dealt with it.
There will be no approval for such impeachment memorials in the cabinet. One copy was sent to the palace and the other to Zhu Jianshen. At the beginning, Zhu Jianshen was still calm. He kept all these memorials, and he did not approve them or sent them back.
However, there are more and more impeachment memorials every day. So far, nearly a hundred memorials have been in front of his case. According to this situation, if he does not give a clear reply or does not give an order in the palace, these officials will not give a break.
"They are forcing me!"
Zhu Jianshen was young and energetic after all. After three days of rest, he saw a thick stack of impeachment memorials sent again. The suppressed anger of the past few days finally erupted.
"Today is Xu Bai, tomorrow is Shangluo, Qin Ji, Wang Zhi, or even Zhen'er. In a few days, when I ascend the throne, will these guys have to come to the court every few days..."
"Your Highness, don't be angry!" Wan Zhen'er raised her head and handed Zhu Jianshen a memorial: "There is no objection in the cabinet, and there is no decree in the palace. You can just watch the changes!"
"No!" Zhu Jianshen shook his head: "Although Xu Bai is not knowledgeable and cannot make a moral article, he is the most loyal and brave man under my command. Now these people are attacking each other, clearly wanting to cut off my wings while I am not rich, so they can make a good plan!"
"What are the benefits for them to cut off your highness's wings!" Wan Zhen'er smiled and said, "Can they get the other look of your highness from now on?"
"Is there no benefit for them? Their benefits are great!" Zhu Jianshen snorted angrily. He also knew that such a simple truth would be impossible for the smart Wan Zhen'er to think that she was just saying a few more words to herself so that she would no longer be so angry.
"What does Mr. Shang say?" Sure enough, Wan Zhen'er pursed her lips and changed the topic: "Will he suggest that Your Highness protect this? Or should you not make things difficult for this person and everyone?"
"Mr. Shang has no suggestions for this matter!" Zhu Jianshen showed a strange look on his face: "If I hadn't known about Mr. Shang's character, I would have suspected that he would have also participated in this matter!"
"It seems that this time, Mr. Shang asked His Highness to make a decision by himself!" Wan Zhen'er nodded thoughtfully: "If this is the case, Mr. Shang will not give His Highness advice, which is understandable!"
"Your Highness is a mature prince. It won't take long to be a mature king. Some things do have to make a decision by themselves!" Wan Zhen'er looked at Zhu Jianshen: "Anyway, no matter how your highness decides, Zhen'er will support Your Highness!"
"Xu Bai, I must protect you!" Zhu Jianshen snorted: "If a group of civil servants impeach the people around me, if I don't protect this today, who will follow me tomorrow? Who will guard all directions for me and expand the territory in the future? Will these guys who play with literary works?"
He hesitated for a moment: "However, this guy is too ridiculous to do things. He forced the inspectors and soldiers of the Anti-Salt Transport Office to come forward in Shandong, and then used the Shandong Jinyiwei to silence him. He is not such a bold and arrogant person!"
"Your Highness wants to know the truth of the matter, why ask outsiders? Just ask Xu Bai directly!" Wan Zhen'er smiled: "Didn't your Highness say you must protect Xu Bai just now? Now you are hesitating. So, is it because of what Xu Bai did, or is your Highness actually just a gamble in his heart and don't want these civil officials to be happy?"
"No, no, no, if my people are really doing something bad, I will naturally deal with it!" Zhu Jianshen was stunned for a moment, and then said with certainty.
"Then, Your Highness should wait for the meaning of the palace. The palace knows that Xu Bai is His Highness's member or His Majesty handed it to His Highness. Even if he wants to deal with it, he will communicate with His Highness in advance. Then your Highness will weigh the pros and cons of it!"
Zhu Jianshen nodded.
Wan Zhen'er smiled and said, "When acting with impulse is sometimes a good thing, sometimes it is not necessarily a good thing. Your Highness is in charge of the people. Sometimes he not only considers his own preferences, but also has to think about how it will be the best for the country and country of the Ming Dynasty!"
"Zhener, you understand me the best. I'm going to send someone to the palace and send these things over. I guess Grandma Huang will naturally know what I mean. If she has no objection, this matter will come according to my thoughts!"
The impeachment memorial was sent to the palace, and Empress Dowager Sun knew that it was her precious grandson who came to ask about her meaning as soon as she saw it.
She also suppressed this matter for a few days, unlike Zhu Jianshen. Zhu Jianshen saw that it was just something beside her and in the small world. Even if she was helping with political affairs, those political affairs were still very far away from him.
Sometimes, some place names are just symbols in his eyes. The money and food for relief and the victims affected are just a string of numbers in his eyes. His understanding of the country and country of the Ming Dynasty was far inferior to that of his elders.
Queen Mother Sun has experienced ups and downs, and she has never had any intention. That is because she can't hold on to the direction of this matter. Hundreds of officials together impeached a small commander of the Jinyiwei. This kind of thing is rare in the history of the Ming Dynasty. The last time she saw such a lively time was when the court killed Shi Heng.
She didn't believe it. The little Jinyiwei commander also had the ability to make people angry like Shi Heng.
"What do you think about this matter? It seems that your Jinyiwei is very unpopular. The officials in the court don't like you very much!"
In front of her, Lu Gao was with a strong face. The impeachment storm had the greatest impact on the Jinyiwei. However, this time, Xu Bai, who was targeted by the name of the name, was summoned by the empress dowager, but he did not intend to take the blame for Xu Bai.
"I have heard of this matter!" Lu Gao said: "A few days ago, I received an urgent report from the Qianhu House of the Jinyiwei South Yai, Tianjin, informing Xu Bai that he was tracked down in Shandong due to the case of secting bandits, and was attacked by local thieves. The staff were killed and injured. Because the incident happened in Shandong, I didn't have time to dispatch people, so I issued a strict order to the Qianhu House of the Jinyiwei Shandong to help Xu Chenshi!"
"However, later, why did this matter become Xu Bai leads the Jinyiwei to force the officers and soldiers of the Inspection Department of the Shandong Department? I am a little confused. I have already sent a message to Shandong. I think there should be an urgent report coming soon!"
"In other words, this is indeed the case!" Empress Dowager Sun had no expression on her face. Instead, June next to her showed a hint of worry in her eyebrows and eyes.
"Things should be true, but it's a difficult thing to tell the truth about it!" Lu Gao nodded.
"This is a stolen money that can't stay in Beijing. I rushed to Tianjin and couldn't stay idle. I actually ran to Shandong!" Empress Dowager Sun frowned: "A person like this keeps causing trouble for the prince, which is of no benefit to the prince's reputation!"
Lu Gao said nothing. The Empress Dowager was not satisfied with Xu Bai, so he achieved his goal. Now it seems that the Empress Dowager obviously will not protect Xu Bai.
"Wait until the sure news from Shandong has arrived, then see what to do with him!" Empress Dowager Sun pondered for a moment: "You Jinyiwei move first, soothe the guys who wrote the memorial..."
"Empress Dowager, the Jinyiwei is not allowed to the prince's permission, so it is probably not easy to deal with Xu Chenshi!" Lu Gao hesitated for a moment: "And if we deal with Xu Chenshi first at this time, wouldn't that mean that this matter is really because our Jinyiwei did something wrong and we admit it?"
"Yes, that's a bunch of guys who are in power!" The Empress Dowager thought for a while: "Then put a pressure on him first, summon Xu Bai to Beijing, and then send someone to investigate the matter in Shandong, so that the Jinyiwei and the people from the Ministry of Justice will find out the matter together!"
"The Empress Dowager is wise!" Lu Gao showed a convinced smile: "I will do it as the Empress Dowager told me!"
"You go to see the prince and tell me what I mean!" The queen mother shook her head slowly: "He should learn how to use people, tell him that after the truth is found out, he will deal with it as he should, and no longer ask what the palace means!"
