Chapter 666 Is that kid going to sea?
There are some words that can be said to the end. Ye Xianggao knew that His Majesty the Emperor could not investigate what King Fu did. Even if he investigated, it would be useless and was incompatible with his purpose. After all, he did not ask His Majesty the Emperor to investigate his son's business, but asked His Majesty to let his son get out.
Compared with King Fu's reign, King Fu's business outside Chongwen's Sect was slightly insignificant, and whether it was bullying or dominating the market was not worthy. If it were replaced by the Eastern Palace, the Fuqing Gonggong would definitely not mention it.
The reason for mentioning it is that King Fu was stranded in the capital for a long time, which seriously threatened the Eastern Palace and the Donglin Party behind the Fuqing Guardian.
In addition to the incident of the Beijing Prefecture this year, there were many failures within the party and were restricted. Mr. Sun's departure with his seal seriously damaged the morale within the party. Therefore, Ye Xianggao had to rush King Fu back to the vassal state. He wanted to use this matter to boost morale within the party and establish his own status as a virtuous minister. In this way, people's hearts can be condensed again.
In other words, if other princes were stranded in the capital and refused to return, the Duke of Fuqing might not have been so anxious. He would have offended the emperor and offended the prince.
So, Ye Xianggao said to His Majesty the Emperor: "Your Majesty can not see the minister for twenty years, but the King of Fu cannot see him for one day. Your Majesty's heart is inconsistent with the severity of the seriousness." This is not without warning.
Zhang Cheng and Tian Ergeng breathed while holding their breath, not daring to move a little.
Wanli obviously made these words angry and said happily: "What Master said is that I love my flesh and blood, so I don't know how to distinguish between importance."
"Your Majesty loves flesh and blood, I should not say it, but the Fu Palace in Luoyang costs as much as 280,000 yuan and has been completed. The Ministry of Works repeatedly requested that the Fu King be in the vassal state. Why did Your Majesty delay the approval?" Ye Xiang said with a high voice.
"I…"
Wanli didn't answer, he felt a little guilty.
"Your Majesty promised to let King Fu return to the vassal state two years ago, and sent a message to the Ministry of Rites to select a good day. At that time, I was overjoyed with all the ministers. The Ministry of Rites drafted the date and etiquette for King Fu to leave the capital, but Your Majesty suddenly changed his mind and gave the imperial edict: The land given to King Fu must not be less than 40,000 hectares! ... In the past, the prince gave the land no more than 4,000 hectares at most, but now the gift of King Fu is ten times more. Your Majesty also said what kind of ancestral system it is. I dare to ask Your Majesty, does our Ming Dynasty have this ancestral system?" Ye Xianggao suppressed his anger and counted the emperor's past breach of trust.
Wanli's old face turned red and murmured: "What the Master Ge talked about is the past. Last year, I had already decided to reduce 10,000 yuan. King Fu also said he had to 10,000 yuan. Didn't the Master Ge agree? Why do you still talk about this?"
Ye Xianggao thought to himself that if he hadn't proposed a compromise solution at that time, that is, the emperor would reduce the emperor by 10,000 acres, and the Fu King would have said that he would have reduced the criticism of the court. Otherwise, how could the emperor be calm in the palace?
Seeing that the emperor was a little guilty, Ye Xianggao couldn't help but strike while the iron was hot and said again: "Your Majesty, if King Fu does not return to the country, I think it only means that Your Majesty's will cannot win the trust of the world! If the king cannot win the trust of the world, how can he be the king!"
As soon as these words were said, not only did Wanli change color, but Zhang Cheng and Tian Ergeng also shocked.
Ye Xianggao was really angry. If His Majesty the Emperor did not allow him, he would have to hang his seal and leave. Anyway, he would have resigned.
The expression on Wanli's face changed complicatedly. Zhang Cheng and Tian Ergeng thought that the emperor was about to get angry, but he didn't expect that in the end, His Majesty the emperor suddenly sat down and stopped talking.
Seeing this, Ye Xianggao stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, since ancient times, you must be at peace and orderly in order to last for a long time."
Wanli still didn't say anything, and Ye Xianggao patiently advised him.
Wanli was no longer silent. He looked at his chief minister with deep meaning and said aggrievedly: "The Master of the Pavilion is doing his best to serve the Eastern Palace. I hope that the sir can take out a little to take care of King Fu?"
This was almost a scoundrel. Ye Xianggao was amused and laughed. He replied seriously: "Your Majesty is wrong!... The reason why I said this is because I am thinking about King Fu. In the past, people said that long live a thousand years old, or that we can live a hundred years old, that is a false saying. Now that the emperor is nearly fifty years old, he still favors King Fu. If King Fu takes advantage of this time and gives a lot of gifts, the treasures in the palace are like a pile of mountains, and he will choose at will, which is in line with Your Majesty's love for his flesh and blood."
"this…"
Wanli has a complicated expression.
When Ye Xianggao saw him, he suddenly changed his mind and said, "I dare to say, as the saying goes, there will be unexpected situations in heaven. If the situation changes, I think King Fu will probably not even get the share I deserve... Your Majesty thinks that King Fu will not take care of King Fu, but I am thinking about King Fu!"
Wanli was stunned. What Ye Xianggao said was not exaggeration, but he could not, and he dared not let it go. In the wrong, he hesitated and said: "Gei Master, what is this? Next winter is the 70th birthday of the empress dowager. The King of Fu should stay to celebrate his birthday. The date of return to the vassal state can be extended to the next year." In fact, the emperor was asking his chief minister for discussion and begging for mercy.
Unexpectedly, Ye Xianggao flatly refused and shook his head and said, "I think King Fu can prepare a birthday ceremony in advance, and then return to the vassal state."
Wanli was so angry that he wanted to slap the table, but he finally endured it and didn't move.
"The outer court has long been said that Your Majesty intends to leave the King of Fu in the name of birthday celebrations. I did not believe it at first, but after what Your Majesty said just now, I really feel suspicious. If you cannot believe Your Majesty, why wouldn't the court be suspicious? ... If you act according to what Your Majesty said, the court will be uneasy, and if the Queen Mother heard about it, I will feel unhappy. Moreover, Your Majesty's younger brother, Prince Lu, is currently living in a foreign vassal, and the Queen Mother misses him very much. Prince Lu cannot come, why should King Fu be there?"
Ye Xianggao must know that his power is amazing. The country has been decided, and it is really unreasonable for King Fu to be in the capital. Not to mention that the court officials have suspicious, even the people are afraid of it.
"I have said it long ago that King Fu will definitely return to the vassal state. What can I suspect in the Chinese people?"
Wanli was so angry that the prime minister couldn't understand him. But he was helpless against this unaccommodating prime minister, because no one could replace the Fuqing husband at the moment.
"Your Majesty, please listen to the advice of the old minister!"
Ye Xianggao bowed and said that if His Majesty the Emperor did not agree, he would not be able to afford it.
Wanli was a little at a loss and hesitated. After a long time, he stood up and sighed, "What do you think about this? You should join the cabinet director first, and then Rong Fu will celebrate the birthday of the empress dowager. How about you return to the vassal next year?" After that, he seemed to have made up his mind and decisive: "I will definitely give the cabinet a satisfactory solution to the matter in Wuxi."
"Yes, yes, since Your Majesty said that, he will not make things difficult for my husband." Zhang Cheng hurriedly stepped forward to help the emperor's voice.
Ye Xianggao pondered for a moment and said, "Your Majesty has been breaking trust in his ministers for so many years."
This made Wanli's old face turn red again, "That's to others, when did I bully the ministers?" Speaking of this, there was a sudden idea, "Didn't the master of the cabinet say that he wanted to add the ministers? I think this matter can't be delayed anymore. Yes, yes, does the master of the cabinet have a suitable candidate in his heart?"
Ye Xianggao's heart moved and said, "The cabinet ministers should be recommended, and I dare not recommend them... I hope Your Majesty can keep your trust, so I will be better than the court officials' explanation."
The husband of Fuqing agreed. Wanli was happy and said, "Keep your trust, keep your trust, I will keep your trust!"
"For Wuxi, please ask Your Majesty to return the scholars in Jiangnan to justice, and the innocent people who died! "
"Okay, okay, I know, don't worry, Master Ge."
Wanli's head was faster than a chicken pecking at rice, and Tian Ergeng felt cold when he saw it.
"That…"
Ye Xianggao wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, he still took his leave.
Wanli hurriedly pointed at Zhang Cheng: "You send me to the Pavilion Master for me."
“No need.”
Ye Xianggao bowed and retreated.
Wanli looked at the figure of the chief minister with a smile and disappeared in front of him. Then he sat down and slapped the table hatefully, making his heart a little clear of his mind, but his eyes were attracted by the painting on the table and he suddenly became very hesitant.
