Ming Dynasty: The Rampant Crown Prince

The magnificent morning sun is rising, and the colorful glow floats in the sky like wisps of gold.

The beauty of the sunrise is better than the tranquility, the sunrise is bright, the beauty is in the world, the rising sun is shining brightly, and thousands of mountains are like fire.

When Zhu Cihong returned to the capital, it was already early in the morning of the second day, and he was also traveling day and night, and he didn't stop much in between.

The capital has not yet been completely stabilized, and he, as the crown prince of the prison state, cannot go out for too long, and must sit in the capital to stabilize people's hearts.

East Palace.

Qiu Zhizhong learned that His Royal Highness had returned, and before the sun had risen, he was already standing in front of the palace gate and waiting.

In the distance, a group of people slowly rushed towards the palace gate, and as soon as they walked in, Zhu Cihong dismounted and walked in, followed by Zhang Huaibin and other eighteen horsemen.

"Slaves and maids, see His Royal Highness the Prince.

Qiu Zhizhong immediately ran forward to salute, and then said with a smile: "Welcome Your Highness back to the palace." "

Did anything happen during the past few days when the palace was away?" asked

Zhu Cihong.

"Back to Your Highness, nothing has happened, the cabinet elders are very effective, and everything is running normally.

Qiu Zhizhong bent down and followed, three steps behind His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

As he spoke, he whispered again: "It's just that Li Jizhou was whipped to death by Sun Hao's hundred whips." "

They are all doing things in front of His Highness, although His Highness said that he wanted to whip Li Jizhou with a hundred whips, it was only a slight punishment, but I didn't expect Sun Hao to be extremely heavy, as if he had a personal grudge, didn't this make others think that His Highness treats people harshly."

Although Qiu Zhizhong said that he was also very dissatisfied with Li Jizhou's small actions, but they were all His Highness's chamberlains, so they beat Sun Hao to death, and he felt a little afraid.

This captain of the East Palace is really not soft at all, if he is accidentally punished by His Royal Highness one day, won't he also be beaten to death?"

Zhu Cihong glanced at the other party, how could he not hear the words, he was reporting a matter in a clear way, but secretly he was beating Sun Hao's small report.

"Yes. Qiu

Zhi Center was stunned.

"Wang Zhen in front of him is very similar to Li Jizhou today, relying on the prestige of the palace, the fox and the tiger are mighty, who sees and who does not see, he has to make his own report, so that the ministers see this, and think that the palace is a stupid monarch, and is swayed by a eunuch.

"Last time it could be the military report of Jinyiwei, and next time it could be the battle report of the front line. "

Why, does he still want to cover the eyes of the palace?" Zhu

Cihong did not mean that Li Jizhou was killed, Sun Hao did not show mercy to his subordinates, and he was obviously dissatisfied with Li Jizhou, and his expression that day was that he didn't want Sun Hao to show mercy, even if he couldn't be beaten to death with a hundred whips, he would be sent to the Dao Huanyi Bureau. (The place to wash clothes, one of the most bitter yamen in the palace.)

There is a very bad point in the Ming Dynasty, that is, the authority of the eunuch is too great, and what Dongchang is under the supervision of the Tai, even the Jinyi Guard, the Beizhen Fu Division are all under the supervision of the Si Rite Supervisor Bingbi, which is very brain-dead, and there are palace guards, and many emperors also like to use eunuchs to manage.

Such an important department, of course, is best managed by the monarch himself, eunuchs are psychologically defective, psychologically unsound people, if they want to have any loyalty, the country's righteousness, that is impossible.

When Chongzhen was seventeen years old, there were a few eunuchs in the palace who could follow the emperor to death, and there were only a few, most of them surrendered, and a small half robbed the palace property and ran away.

Therefore, as long as he uses the brocade guard, he will definitely meet the commander Li Ruolian, instead of sending a eunuch to point fingers.

"This palace likes people who understand the rules, and I don't like people who don't have any sense of proportion, what power is given to you, just exert it in this circle, don't think about reaching out and grabbing something else. "

The slave and maid understood.

Qiu Zhizhong lowered his head, knowing in his heart that this Li Jizhou was just an inner servant to pass the decree and order the eunuch, as the prince's inner servant, he would naturally be respected when he went out, and it was normal to receive gifts and filial piety money, but in front of the East Palace, he would stop people from asking for money, and only after giving money could he see His Royal Highness, then he would cross the line.

For another example, he is now in charge of the East Palace, managing the secret guards, so in these two places, it is okay to point fingers at other slaves and maids, but you can't rely on the prestige of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to jump out of these two places to point fingers.

"Your Highness, Qian Qianyi has returned to Beijing yesterday and is waiting for the summons in the palace.

After pondering His Highness's words, Qiu Zhixin thought of this matter.

"See him in the afternoon. Zhu

Cihong fell asleep directly when he returned to Duanjing Palace, running all the way down, he was really a little tired, so he would sleep first.

Afternoon.

"The guilty minister Qian Qianyi see His Royal Highness the Prince. In

Jingren Palace, Qian Qianyi saluted, and Zhu Cihong sat on the main seat.

"What do you gain from the southwest trip?" Zhu

Cihong looked at the other party and smiled.

"Returning to His Royal Highness, this time the minister went to the disaster area, the trip to the front line, benefited a lot, knowing that the rhetoric in his mouth before was really on paper, and he really went to the disaster relief, but found that it was difficult to move an inch, and it was difficult to move forward.

Qian Qianyi did have humility in his eyes at the moment, and his tone was more sincere, and said: "As the saying goes, it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books.

"What about the effect?" Zhu

Cihong asked again, leaning back in his chair.

"Hmm...... Not ideal.

Qian Qianyi hesitated, but still said: "The local big families are really slamming the door, not to mention taking out food to assist the imperial court in disaster relief, that is, they want to donate a little silver and two buckles, even the local gentry are the same."

"As a result, on this trip to care for the people, the victims rescued were not as expected, and the criminals did not do their jobs effectively, so I ask Your Highness to punish them."

Zhu Cihong crossed his hands and leaned on the armrest, and suddenly smiled.

"You weren't like that before.

When Qian Qianyi heard this, his body stiffened, his face was a little embarrassed, and the prince slapped his face directly, making him a little uncomfortable on his face, and he didn't know how to answer, so he stood in place and was silent.

"You are also a Tanhua in the 38th year of Wanli, well-read, and talented, it can be said that you write poems and lyrics, and talk about the people's livelihood in the world.

"But the people's livelihood in the world is not empty talk, but practice.

"Now from university scholars, courtiers, to college scholars, they all see the world from books and listen to the world from their ears.

Zhu Cihong looked at Qian Qianyi, this person is still a little patriotic, but he is greedy for life and afraid of death, and he doesn't have the kind of true literati backbone.

But isn't it normal for people to be greedy for life and afraid of death, you can't rely on this to completely deny Qian Qianyi, he is still useful.

"Remember the teachings of His Highness.

Qian Qianyi was humbly taught, and suddenly felt that the words and deeds of His Royal Highness the ten-year-old Crown Prince did not match his age at all.

When he returned to Beijing yesterday, he immediately went to the cabinet to report on his work, and of course he heard that what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had done during this period of time was like what a ten-year-old child could do.

"Qiu Zhizhong, the Ministry of Ministers, Qian Qianyi was reinstated.

Zhu Cihong shouted outside.

"The minister bowed to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

When Qian Qianyi heard this, he immediately knelt down and kowtowed to thank him, feeling a lot of emotion in his heart.

"I'll tell you something.

Zhu Cihong said suddenly.

"The minister will never give up.

Qian Qianyi immediately expressed his loyalty, he understood that the emperor would not come out to take charge of things at present, everything was decided by His Highness, of course, he had to stand in line first, and when His Highness ascended the throne in the future, that is, from the minister of the dragon.

Zhu Cihong whispered the plan in his heart, and Qian Qianyi, who listened to it, was unpredictable and indignant.

"Your Highness, rest assured, the minister will definitely not tolerate these people.

"You stand down.

After discussing, Zhu Cihong waved his hand.

Looking at Qian Qianyi's departing back, Zhu Cihong rubbed his eyebrows, and he was going to have an early dynasty tomorrow.

Although the backers of the eight families in Shanxi said that half of them were dead, there was still a Zhou Yanru, although he had resigned and returned to his hometown at this moment, as long as he was charged with treason, he would be brought to death.

Also, there are some people from Zhou Yanru in the court, who also have to be pulled out together, but these people can't let Zhu Cihong stand up and say that they want others to bite out.

"Go and pass Li Banghua to come. "
