"Ouch, Grandpa Guo, why are you here, what do you know, Xie Jin went to your house to listen to the instructions, how dare you work for the country.
Hurry up, please sit down, please take a seat, come on, come on, quickly serve tea to Guogong" Xie Jin gave an order to the little eunuch waiting in the hall, and then asked Xia Xun to take a seat very enthusiastically, and sat down under him, and asked with a smile: "The matter assigned by the emperor, has the prince already paid attention to it?"
Xia Xun said solemnly: "Yes, I thought about it seriously all night after I went back, and I have sorted out some eyebrows, so I came to discuss it with the university scholar." cough I think so, about collecting, collating, compiling, transcribing, printing" Xia Xun Balabala said for a long time, the little eunuch brought the tea and he didn't stop, and finally finished speaking, and then advised: "I have to make up a little more: the four years of the Jianwen Dynasty, the emperor does not recognize, the four years of the Jianwen Dynasty, has been changed to the thirty-second year of Hongwu to the thirty-fifth year, during which many things can not be contained in the history, this point should be paid special attention to, when supplementing the holy precepts of the emperor, there are many things that the Taizu said to the emperor's grandson, and when arranging the time of the source, it must be changed to say to the prince Yiwen, so as not to violate the emperor's taboo." ” Xie Jin was dumbfounded when he heard this, blinked after listening, and said blankly: "Guogong is finished" "That's it" Xie Jin ate and said: "Is this what Guogong thought about seriously for a night and paid attention to what came out?"
Xia Xun said this, originally wanted to try whether Xie Jin's understanding of the holy will was as he thought, and when he saw him like this, he already had a score in his heart, so he smiled and said: "Naturally, since the emperor has issued an order, this Wenhua Baojian must be compiled, and there are some matters, I have to talk about it first, of course, the leader of the literary world of the great gentleman brother has compiled many classics, these aspects should be imagined, but since Yang is in charge of this matter, he can't help but mention it." ” Xie Jin breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "I'll just say, Holy Hongen, this is entrusted by the East Palace, how important it is, how can Guogong not understand it, then what does Guogong plan to do about this?"
Xia Xun has fully understood at this time, what he thinks is really correct, it turns out that Zhu Di wants to take the lead in inviting the prince, think about the palace yesterday, Zhu Di's earnest glance, but the whole hall woke up and I was drunk, he didn't understand it alone, and he couldn't help but sweat secretly.
Xia Xun settled down, and then according to Xie Jin's tone, he took the opportunity to say: "There is no need to worry about this matter, it is a bright and bright matter, and it cannot be concealed from anyone, and there is no need to hide it."
The establishment of the prince as the prince of the country is already the trend of the times, and what we do is in line with the heart of heaven and the will of the people, so we just need to put it forward in a dignified manner.
I'm just wondering, the emperor went on a northern tour the previous time, and the eldest prince supervised the country, isn't this a very obvious signal to make the eldest prince the prince, is there no one in the court who proposed to establish the prince, why does the emperor need to arrange it himself?"
Xie Jin sighed and said, "Why not, but the second prince has also recruited a lot of civil and military ministers."
Especially after Guogong you passed through Liaodong, although Qi Guogong Qiu Fu is gone, but Guogong you are also gone, this time the second prince lost a lot of advantages, so that he has recruited a lot of talents, that Chen Ying is very powerful, some officials are pulled with pigtails in their hands, how can they not look at the face of the second prince However, Guogong passed through Liaodong, and there was no way out, once something went wrong with Guogong, it would inevitably be unfavorable to the eldest prince's situation.
Moreover, the Guogong passed through Liaodong, which is a major event related to my Ming Dynasty for thousands of generations, even if the Guogong is willing to come back at this time, the eldest prince is also unwilling, how can he be willing to waste this thousand years of work because of him" Xia Xun nodded, a little understood: "In this way, the emperor gave the meaning of the prince, and some officials asked the prince to be established according to the wishes, but because of the strong opposition of the people on the second prince's side, it was put aside again."
Xie Jin smiled bitterly: "They are not against the prince, but only against the prince."
The emperor has just made a northern tour, and there are rumors among the people that the emperor is on a northern tour, and the prince will naturally supervise the country, which means that the prince has not been established, and according to the order of the eldest and youngest, the prince is called the prince to supervise the country, which blurs the meaning of the emperor and neutralizes the emperor's intention to set up the prince as the prince.
After the emperor came back, the second prince actually took the lead in initiating some officials to make suggestions to the emperor, asking the emperor to discuss the establishment of the prince, this prince is naturally the second prince, we lost one first, then fell into passivity, the two sides argued with reason, and could not hold each other, the second prince relied on the martyrdom of the year, and saved His Majesty in danger many times, the emperor was moved back then, and also revealed that he had entered the palace many times to cry to the emperor to complain about grievances, and the emperor was soft-hearted, and this matter was put on hold again. ” Xia Xun nodded, his face solemn.
Xie Jin saw it, and hurriedly relieved: "The prince of the country doesn't have to worry too much, now the emperor asks the prince of the country, the national teacher and me, the head of the cabinet, to jointly propose, indicating that the emperor has repeatedly weighed it, and he still wants to appoint the prince as the prince, and the rest depends on how we sing this play, if we advocate it once, and then they stir up the water, the emperor's face will be really ugly." ” Xia Xun frowned and said, "What officials are there over there?"
Xie Jin thought about it, and then said the names of some officials, Xia Xun heard that the positions of those officials were not low, and there were six Shangshu among them, and when he was a product of the dynasty, he couldn't help but be surprised: "I have been working hard since I left Nanjing for two years, has the power of the second prince developed so much?"
Xie Jin sighed: "No way, the eldest prince is too restrained in doing things, and many methods are disdainful to be used, and they can't be used, even if we persuade His Highness to do big things without being informal, he won't do it."
The second prince can recruit so many people, some are lured, some are coerced, who has been an official in the court for many years, who can do nothing, then Chen Ying is like a dog nose, he can smell any taste, and grabbed your handle, I am afraid that you will not be used by the second prince These people are in high positions and have their own henchmen, they are owned by the second prince, and their henchmen naturally work for the second prince, and the second prince is naturally more powerful.
Originally, the second prince was snared by Ji Gang, which is also the meaning, fortunately, Ji Gang is inclined to the eldest prince, otherwise, if he is the tiger, the second prince's current strength may be even more out of control, plus the emperor is already a little inclined to him, I am afraid that by then you will come back, and you will not be able to return to the sky.
Later, there was no way, we took the country and the future of the Ming Dynasty, and repeatedly asked the prince to take advantage of it, and the prince acquiesced to Ji Gang's way of others and governed his body, but because of the hesitation of the prince, we started late, and the decline could not be reversed all at once.
And if you want to do these things, you can't hide the people on the second prince's side, but the second prince finally knows that Ji Gang is the person on the eldest prince's side, and Ji Gang and Chen Ying are both responsible for investigating hundreds of officials, and now the two sides are fighting very hard. ” Xia Xun suddenly realized, in this way, the scene outside Zhuozhou City is probably an extension of the struggle between Chen Ying and Ji Gang, and behind Chen Ying and Ji Gang are the eldest prince and the second prince.
In this way, the situation was worse than he expected, Xia Xun couldn't help but stand up, pacing back and forth in Wenyuan Pavilion, Xie Jin also stood up when he saw this, his eyes moved with him, for a long time, Xia Xun still refused to stop, Xie Jin couldn't help but say: "Guogong, now Ji Gang's side has achieved some results."
You see, do you want him to step up his investigation and win more official support for the eldest prince Guogong is back, our momentum will be greatly boosted, take this good opportunity, Guogong may wish to feast more colleagues in the DPRK and China, by the second prince won over the officials, many originally had some friendship with Guogong, this sentiment is difficult to shake off, as long as they come, with the prestige of Guogong you, or you can fight for some more, one and the other, and so we have a very sure time, at that time" Xia Xun stood still, thought about it repeatedly, first shook his head, then nodded, smashed it for a while, and said in a deep voice: "No, I still have to admonish immediately" Xie Jin was stunned for a moment, and said in a lost voice: "I'm afraid that it will be too late just to inform and instruct our people, in case of failure."
Xia Xun said: "There is no case, only success, no failure and defeat, I am afraid that the holy will will really transfer to the second prince."
He walked back to Xie Jin's side and said: "Brother Squire, think about it, what kind of momentum, more powerful than the brand of the saint Right now, compiling Wenhua Baojian is the meaning of the saint, this momentum is like the tilt of Mount Tai, it is the most irresistible momentum, if we delay for a long time, so that they have already been psychologically prepared, and even ran to the emperor to cry and make trouble, and once again said that the emperor's heart was moved, wouldn't it be a failure."
Take immediate action, maybe we don't have time to call the local officials of the Great Prince's faction to write a letter to make peace, but the same, they are just too late, I just returned to Beijing, and I haven't seen any officials, so I immediately wrote about this matter, which will inevitably make people suspicious, this is the emperor's order.
Hehe, this was originally instructed by the emperor, but the emperor was a little subtle, so it is inconvenient for us to say that this is the emperor's intention, but as long as this is done, who still doesn't guess what the emperor meant" Xie Jin nodded again and again when he heard this, and said: "Yes, yes, after listening to Guogong's words, Xie Jin's heart was like a cloud, and he suddenly became brighter. ” Xia Xun said: "If you go step by step, and then compete with it, then the brand of Holy Will will will be wasted, since those officials have been pigtailed, how can they change the camp because of my face, so instead of sending troops and arranging formations to fight against each other, it is better to highlight the surprise soldiers and kill him by surprise."
Xie Jin excitedly said: "Okay, then what should we do?"
Xia Xun said: "I'm going to see Master Daoyan, Brother Gentry here, and immediately release the news that the emperor ordered me and the other three to preside over the compilation of Wenhua Baojian for the Ming Prince, and the news spread quickly, and in the evening, everyone in Nanjing City will know."
They want to discuss countermeasures, and they have to go after tomorrow morning as soon as possible, hum tomorrow morning, the three of us will join forces to make a statement, please establish a prince."
