Chapter 452: Peace and Tranquility, when the Saintly Emperor Entrusted His Son to a Wise Man, Conspiracies and Tricks Could Not Accomplish Anything Great
Chapter 452 Haiyan Heqing, when there is a saint...the emperor Tuogu...conspiracies and tricks cannot achieve great things
"I lost the gold medal for being the best swordsman in the world because of my anger. I won't regret it later!"
On the first floor of the world, Xu Xin looked at Diao Buyu who came in front of him and joked casually.
"Diao Buyu never wanted to be the best swordsman in the world. I am just a guard of the palace."
There was determination in Diao Buyu's voice, and his thoughts were simple and pure.
Because Jin Xiangyu once saved him, he stayed at the Longmen Inn. Jin Xiangyu married into the palace, and he followed him to the palace. He had lived a good life in the palace these years, and he was willing to live like this for the rest of his life.
"You kid, you know how to talk."
Xu Xin patted Diao Buyu on the shoulder and led him away from the place where he was competing.
The gold medal is not that easy to win. Winning it means getting involved with the imperial court, so in the end it is Ba Dao who wins, and he is the only one who is the most suitable.
Guihai Bailian is half-dead, Diao Buyu is the guard of the Wang family, and can be regarded as half of the court, so only Ba Dao is the most worthy of winning over.
The battle for the best sword in the world has ended, but the legend of the best sword in the world has just begun. In the countless years since then, the imperial court has held various "best in the world" competitions again and again, recruiting countless talents from the private sector, and allowing The Ming Dynasty became more and more prosperous.
…
Time flies and years pass by.
In the eighteenth year of Hongzhi, the water in the Yellow River was clear, the sea was calm, the Ming Dynasty was prosperous, and the people lived a happy life. There were rumors that a saint would be born in this world.
The Yellow River is the mother river of Kyushu in the Central Plains and the birthplace of Chinese civilization. It flows through nine provinces from west to east and finally merges into the Bohai Sea.
The Yellow River is filled with sediment and sediment. It is the river with the most sediment in the world. Since ancient times, many myths and legends have been left due to floods in the Yellow River. This is also accompanied by the tortuous process of man's management of the Yellow River.
The first person who proposed that "the Yellow River is clear and saints come out" was Li Kang, a famous scholar from the Wei state during the Three Kingdoms period, in "The Theory of Destiny": "The Yellow River is clear and saints are born, the local communities are humming and saints are born, and the dragons are seen and saints are used."
In the eighteenth year of Hongzhi's reign, Haiyan and Heqing were clear, and the remarks made by the saint were increasingly published in articles, and they were all vaguely directed at one person. At the same time, in the late autumn of this year, Emperor Zhu Youtang lingered on his sick bed.
Most of the emperors after the Yongle Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty were in poor health. Many of them succeeded to the throne as teenagers and died in middle age. The crux of the problem may be Emperor Hongxi who came after Yongle. Although this emperor was the legitimate son, his health was three years older than Yongle. The worst of my sons.
Until now, the lineage of Hong Xi has passed down, but no emperor has lived past fifty, and few have lived past forty, and all of them have short lives.
Relatively speaking, Chenghua lived a long time, more than forty years old. The current Emperor Hongzhi seems not to be so lucky, he is only thirty-six...
"Boom..."
At night in the Forbidden City, ministers gathered outside the Wuying Palace. Xu Xin, dressed in red robe, stood in front of the ministers. Next to him were the Queen Zhang, the fifteen-year-old Crown Prince Zhu Houzhao, and the twelve-year-old Princess Yunluo.
"Master, daddy, will he be okay?"
The young Princess Yunluo grabbed Xu Xin's sleeve. The emperor had been in a bad state since he lingered on the sickbed a few days ago. Even if she was ignorant, she still knew some things in the world.
"Your Majesty is blessed with great blessings, and everything will be fine..."
When Xu Xin spoke, he looked into the Wuying Palace, but he was torn in his heart. He could tell that the emperor was approaching his end of life, and he could save him, but whether he should save him or not...or should he find another strategy...
Xu Xinxin pondered, but his five senses clearly perceived everything within a hundred feet, including all the matters that the emperor had handed over to Cao Zhengchun in the Wuying Palace. He knew clearly that the emperor was entrusting Gu to handle the funeral arrangements.
Cao Zhengchun is the most trusted minister of the emperor. Today he has just ordered the governor of the East Factory and the general manager of the Royal Horse Supervisor and the Si Li Supervisor. This is equivalent to entrusting the entire inner court to him, making him a powerful minister, and the emperor has assigned him The thing is to check and balance the iron courage god Hou Zhu ignored.
That's right, it was Zhu Wuwu who the emperor asked Cao Zhengchun to check and balance, not him, the chief minister of the cabinet, the great scholar Wang. Probably because the emperor knew that Xu Xin could not be checked and balanced. When Zhu Youtang was alive, Xu Xin was already in a state of overwhelming power and could rule with only one hand.
"How's the situation with Brother Emperor?"
An anxious voice came from behind, and Hou Zhuwu, the brave god in brocade clothes, appeared, showing his royal dignity.
"Your Majesty will tell Uncle Zhongyong inside, Lord God, please wait for a while!"
Xu Xin glanced at Zhu Wuwu. In the past ten years, this iron courageous god has attracted more and more people, and he has become closer to the immortal hero in his memory. He has spread his influence throughout the Ming Dynasty and has a lot of power behind the scenes. powerful.
But in front of him, Mr. Xu, Longdu could only lie down with his head lowered. The only one Zhu Yi could be proud of on the bright side was his strength!
"yes."
When Zhu Wuwu saw that it was Xu Xin who spoke, he quickly bowed and retreated to a later position.
In the past few years, the emperor's health has gradually deteriorated, and Xu Xin has been in power for a long time, and he has real power. The key is that what he did is indeed... Take the people for example, they have no worries about food and clothing, and even beggars have intact trousers. Wearing it created a prosperous age and was called a sage in the world.
"Is the Lord Shen here? His Majesty invites you to come in."
After Zhu Wuwu arrived, he didn't wait long before Cao Zhengchun came out. He glanced at Zhu Wuwu calmly.
The emperor allowed himself to be in charge of the internal dynasty to check and balance the Iron Courage God Hou, but did not reveal more. It must be that the Iron Courage God Hou Zhu was not as simple as it appeared on the surface. Naturally, Cao Zhengchun had to take a closer look at this future opponent. .
Zhu Youtang also glanced at Cao Zhengchun, strode into the Wuying Palace, and soon came to Zhu Youtang's bed. He saw that his imperial brother was pale, obviously the situation was not good, and saw Zhu Youtang's Hongzhi Emperor, smiled with relief.
"Royal brother, you're finally here. Ahem..."
After Emperor Hongzhi coughed violently for a while, he took Zhu Wuwu's sign language and said seriously: "I feel relieved as long as you are here. Shouguer is only fifteen years old. He can firmly sit on the throne and protect the Ming Dynasty and protect the Dragon Villa. It’s a heavy responsibility…”
Zhu Wuwu held Emperor Hongzhi's hand tightly and said solemnly: "Brother, don't worry, as long as I have my brother here, I will fight outside and protect my country, and protect our Ming Dynasty."
"Royal brother, I have given you the Iron Coupon of the Alchemy Book and the Shang Fang Sword to supervise... the chief assistant... you cannot kill him, you can only deprive him of his authority... ahem..."
It took Zhu Youtang a lot of effort to finish these words, and Zhu Wuwu stared at him blankly, and it took him a long time to figure things out.
He heard the first half of the emperor's words, "Elixir Book, Iron Coupon, Shang Fang Sword, Supervise..." He thought he was supervising hundreds of officials, but who knew that he would only supervise the chief minister, Wang Shouren, and he could only abolish the authority but not kill him. This... the emperor Why limit him so much.
"Shouren has a great talent, the sea is clear and the river is clear. If a saint is about to emerge, he will be the only one to respond... I, the Ming Dynasty, killed Yu Shaobao to make the world's scholars alienate... Therefore, he cannot be killed, even if he conspires to rebel. ……do you understand me……"
Zhu Youtang said these words with difficulty, and warned heavily: "Ignore it, conspiracy and tricks will not achieve great things... Taihu... You cannot use such methods in the court, do you understand..."
