MTL - First Prince of Ming Dynasty-Chapter 658 before the rain
Chapter 658 Rain before the wind
Just when Tu Jie was about to retire, Zhao Yannian, Chen Ning, Chen Liang and others also arrived. Hu Weiyong had no reason to see him. The established plan was interrupted, and the people below were a little panicked. He must appease him, otherwise It's no small thing to go wrong in the midst of a panic.
Although he will definitely not be implicated, it is not easy to retrain and support him to the court if he loses a few confidantes, even if he is the prime minister of the court. Or in exchange for other interests.
Zhongshu Youcheng, Chen Liang, Pingzhang, Zhao Yannian, Chen Ning and others walked in slowly, all of them had calm faces, but the dryness could not be easily concealed. They respectfully bowed to Hu Weiyong who was seated, and then bowed to Tu Jie. hand over.
Given their relationship, naturally there is no need to be too polite, after a brief meeting, Tu Jie opened his mouth and said: "I have already reported the matter at the Beijing Camp to the Prime Minister, and the Prime Minister already knows it well, so you don't need to be anxious. "
Everyone nodded when they heard the words, and there was a stiff smile on their faces. The Beijing Camp is no different than other places. It is really easy to get burned. If the prince really wants to pursue it, it is not so easy for either party to get out of it.
People leave their names, and geese leave their voices. No matter what is done, there is nothing that can really erase everything. In this capital, if the prince wants to investigate, he will definitely be able to find clues.
Although everyone knows that there is a high probability that this matter will be covered up tacitly, but it is inevitable that there will be some anxiety when it comes to the end. What a great experience.
Hu Weiyong stroked the goatee on his chin and smiled calmly: "Sit down, this year's Mingqian tea was only delivered to the capital a few days ago. Thanks to the generous gift of His Royal Highness, the old man has saved a lot of good tea here. Let's taste it. Check it out, if you like it, take it with you when you leave later."
Mingqian tea is the spring tea picked before the Ching Ming Festival. After being repaired and moisturized in winter, the tea leaves are rich in substances, fresh and mellow in taste, and have a distinct aftertaste.
During the Tang Dynasty, there was a custom of paying tribute to Huzhou purple bamboo shoots. Every year, the Qingming Day tribute tea would be recommended to the ancestral temple, and then distributed to close officials.
"Your servant, thank you, Mr. Xiang."
Tu Jie's words and Hu Weiyong's words are naturally two weights. Chen Liang and the others looked calm, and after thanking them, they found their seats and sat down.
You can't just leave when you're here, and even though you feel more at ease, you still have to deal with some problems carefully, at least you can't be caught on the bright side, otherwise even if the prince wants to handle it lightly It can't be done.
Hu Weiyong's servants served tea, the cups were different, and the fragrance of the tea overflowed and blended together. It was obviously to cater for everyone's preferences, which also showed that Hu Weiyong valued his confidants.
Chen Liang took a sip and said with a smile: "Mulan has a slightly dewy fragrance, and Yaocao is not as beautiful as the waves, so I will not be polite. This Pujiang sparrow tongue has to be cut off by the Prime Minister."
Hu Weiyong waved his hand and said: "Take it all, the old man can only drink a few taels."
The rest of the people also asked for some of their favorite drinks on weekdays. They were all high-ranking people in the temple.
Just like Zhu Biao's gift of tribute tea to his close ministers, the relationship between favors and rewards will last long. If you are stingy with your ministers for any benefit, how can you convince people's hearts.
………
It was almost noon, and the people outside were still bustling. For them, this is a rare pastime of the year, and they naturally don't want to waste a moment, but for the princes and ladies inside, it is most important to take good care of themselves.
Sit with friends to gamble on the cherries, but take it away and throw the pot with jade wrists. Zhu Biao threw an arrow at the two-eared double-chi pattern pitching pot not far away, and it happened to fall into the mouth of the pot. Immediately, someone shouted excitedly: "Okay!" , there is a beginning!"
Yu Chu was the one who entered the pot with the first arrow. Zhu Biao smiled and threw another arrow, but this time it fell into the ear of the pot.
If you let the arrow shaft enter the pot and jump out, catch it and throw it again, you can throw it more than a hundred times in a row, which is called Xiao. It is said in "Xijing Miscellaneous Notes" that there was a Guo Sheren who was good at throwing the pot during Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Every time he threw a pot for Emperor Wu, he was given gold and silk.
Up to now, there are fewer people who are good at this way. After all, there are many more ways to have fun than in the Han Dynasty. In addition, there is no one who is good at this way and is valued by the emperor. No one will devote energy to contact this skill. In order to be rich.
After throwing pots for entertainment, Zhu Biao walked to the place where the cupper was flowing, surrounded by everyone. This time, he didn’t end up in person, but just watched for a while, and praised the son and scholar who made good poems by the way.
A few words to win people's hearts is always worth it, if it is not so easy for others, but he is the crown prince, even if he forgets who he praised casually the next day, but the person who was praised will never forget it until he dies. Based on this, he attributed himself to the Donggong sect.
In addition to those who gather to have fun, there are also many who write and splash ink on the landscape, and those who are outstanding will be shoved in front of the prince by others. Zhu Biao will not be stingy with words today.
Looking around, there are handsome young men, and the figures in the distance are all boudoir girls. I can't help but feel happy. When the flowers bloom and fall, life is easy to grow old. These are his contemporaries. They will eventually grow old together, but I don't know how many People can accompany him to the end.
If you invite old people to visit your hometown when you are very old, you must have a lot of gratitude at that time, and only in the eyes of your contemporaries, the aging face will still be the youthful youth.
Zhu Biao is like this, the more noisy and joyous he is, the more desolate and desolate after people sing and dance will appear in his heart unconsciously. It is always like looking at flowers through the fog, and it is difficult to fully integrate into it.
But it’s okay, the prosperity is difficult to cover the eyes, at least it can avoid Tang Xuanzong’s prosperity and decline, human nature itself is lazy and lazy, even for a wise and powerful emperor, it is unavoidable, pride and slack will make people deceive themselves , Use the magnificence in front of you to escape reality.
Although the people around him cannot be driven away, at least they will not follow when Zhu Biao goes to undress to go to the toilet. When Zhu Biao cleans his hands, the tall and strong **** came up and whispered: "The capital is safe, General Jiang Let the servants play His Highness, everything will go well."
Everything went well, that is to say, Jiang Yu suppressed the Jingying without showing the real dragon gold medal, which is good, at least the matter is not too big, so there is room for control.
In any case, Zhu Biao never hoped that there would be a problem with the Beijing camp during his father's northern tour. Although it was only a trivial matter, not even a rebellion, it is not a trivial matter if such things are passed around. From ancient times to the present, not many people have paid attention to it, and the blows that can be used to add fuel and vinegar are enough.
Peace in the world is a situation that the imperial court must create, so that scholars, farmers, businessmen, and commerce can develop with peace of mind. They can only develop after they have developed the great Ming that is waiting for prosperity.
The Jiangnan case has already caused turmoil in the south, and it has caused countless consequences. It can be said that there is no winner in this matter. Lao Zhu has successfully suppressed the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River and many famous Confucianists who are thinking about the Yuan Dynasty. The minimum tax that can be collected will also be reduced by 20%.
Although the rebel army was just a mob, compared to the imperial army, it still caused considerable damage to ordinary people. The caravans that went to and from trade also stopped for several months, and many confiscated fields were also short of people. farming.
So now there is no longer any turmoil that can make people panic, at least let the common people settle down to cultivate and reproduce. The shortage of population has limited the development of Ming Dynasty, especially the shortage of young and middle-aged labor.
Zhu Biao took the towel from Liu Jin to dry off the water droplets on his hands, then stretched his hand back, and the **** carefully placed the note in the prince's hand. It records the situation at that time in detail, including everyone's words and deeds. In this regard, the pro-military Duwei's Mansion is professional.
