Chapter 931 Fortunately, I am not disgraceful
The horseshoes were brisk and dusty, and Chen Yiqin was eager to return home, jumping his horse and whipping his whip all the way, wishing he could appear in Yu Wang's mansion in the next second, and couldn't wait to tell Yu Wang the good news of his successful bribery.
Zhu Ping'an rode a dark horse to catch up, so that Chen Yiqin didn't fall too far behind.
Finally, the two returned to Prince Yu's Mansion before noon.
When Zhu Ping'an and Chen Yiqin arrived at King Yu's Mansion, King Yu was discussing matters with Gao Gong and Yin Shidan in the study, and the study was gloomy and gloomy.
King Yu just got the news that the mother of Mr. Zheng Shi, a senior official in the capital, is celebrating her 60th birthday today. King Jing sent a steward of King Jing's mansion to send a pot of rice over ten feet tall to Zheng's mansion on the grounds that he had consulted Mr. Zheng for knowledge. The coral bonsai in Penglai Fairyland congratulates the old lady of Zheng's mansion on her birthday, and wishes the old lady a long and auspicious life with Penglai Wonderland. It is said that all the guests of the Zheng Mansion were moved by it, which greatly increased the face of the Zheng Mansion, and the old lady of the Zheng Mansion was overjoyed and grateful. The steward of King Jing's Mansion received special courtesy from the Zheng Mansion. Before leaving, Mr. Zheng personally sent the steward of King Jing's Mansion more than ten meters away from the door, whispering for a long time before returning.
Have you consulted for knowledge? !
Who will believe it!
Once said a sentence or two, can it be regarded as asking the teacher? ! Don't prevaricate by saying that a conversation with Mr. Gong is better than reading ten years of books!
Isn't it all an excuse for you to win over the minister!
Actually, this is not the first time that King Jing has done this kind of thing. Because Concubine Lu Jing was favored in the harem, King Jing also received a lot of rewards, plus the yearly gift was received as usual, private property secretly purchased, etc. King Jing can be said to be hundreds of times richer than King Yu. With economic strength, King Jing can crush dozens of King Yu.
Relying on his wealth and wealth, King Jing is willing to spend money and capital, so what congratulations on moving to a new home, congratulations on taking a concubine, congratulations on promotion, congratulations on the birthday of the elderly in the family and other high-sounding reasons, King Jing has already conveyed to many ministers in the court. There are interests!
Whoever likes silver, King Jing will give you silver; if you like beautiful women, King Jing will give you beautiful women;
The effect is very obvious. Although many officials did not make a clear statement, they have already moved closer to King Jing in secret.
Zhongyi doctor Zheng Shi has always had a good reputation, and he is quite famous among civil servants. He used to be in charge of affairs. He was not afraid of power and personal interests.
is considered a relatively influential official.
Today, Zhongyi doctor Zheng Shi's attitude and behavior towards the stewards of King Jing's mansion are obviously close to King Jing.
That's why King Yu was so worried when he heard the news.
"Brother Zhen is becoming more and more lawless. His father is a healthy and healthy man, so he dares to favor ministers like this. If this continues, it will be very detrimental to Gu." Yu Wang said with a gloomy expression.
"His Royal Highness King Jing is really becoming more and more daring. In the past, he was sneaky and cautious in attracting ministers, lest people would find out, but now he is becoming more and more reckless." Yin Shidan said with an expression of injustice.
"Your Highness, don't worry. Since ancient times, Dingli Crown Princes have had the custom of setting up their heirs and their elders. There are heirs to establish heirs, and no heirs to establish elders. The elders and children are orderly. Although King Jing has won some ministers with his wealth and wealth, His Royal Highness is older than Jing. The king is born with an advantage. King Jing is young, and this is a flaw that he can't change. There are more courtiers who support His Highness than King Jing." Gao Gong was worried in his heart, but his face was With an old **** present and calm appearance, he sat on the chair comfortably and comforted Yu Wangdao.
"Master Gao, even though that's the case, if you let Brother Zhen win you over like this, sooner or later, there will be more courtiers who support Brother Zhen than those who support Gu. Perhaps, there are more courtiers who support Brother Zhen now than those who support Gu. Younger brother is much better than Gu, Gu is one of the few times I see father, and father reprimands Gu, although he reprimands Brother Zhen, he also praises him."
King Yu sat slumped on the chair, shook his head dismal, Gao Gong's words didn't make the gloomy cloud on King Yu's face disappear at all, especially when he thought of the days when he was dominated by the excellent King Jing when he was a child, he was even more worried worry.
Since ancient times, it is true that the crown prince has the custom of setting up the heir and the elder, but not every dynasty and every generation establishes the heir and establishes the elder. how is it? !
Emperor Father doesn't care about Brother Guan Zhen, isn't this tacit approval?
Hey.
Thinking of these things, King Yu almost burst into tears.
"Master Gao, Master Yin, what should I do?" King Yu raised his gloomy face and looked expectantly at Gao Gong and Yin Shidan.
"The Holy Majesty has not established a heir for a long time, which has greatly increased His Royal Highness King Jing's ambition to covet the Crown Prince, and it has also made many people dissatisfied with the methods His Royal Highness King Jing used to win over ministers. It is equivalent to acquiescing to the subject to boldly speculate on the holy will, and the Holy Majesty may use this to train His Highness." Gao Gong pondered for a while, and slowly opened his mouth to analyze.
What Gao Gong said is very reasonable. Emperor Jiajing did not go to court for more than 20 years and was obsessed with cultivating immortals and alchemy, but he firmly controlled the entire Ming Dynasty. He is the well-deserved ruler of Ming Dynasty. A running dog chosen by the emperor, Emperor Jiajing can destroy it with a word. To be able to do this, in addition to Emperor Jiajing's extreme intelligence and superb imperial mind, the control of intelligence is also a magic weapon for Emperor Jiajing to control Daming.
It is no exaggeration to say that there is nothing in Daming that Emperor Jiajing does not know. Emperor Jiajing controlled every move of the ruling and opposition parties, ministers, princes, and concubines through Dongxichang, Jinyiwei, the cabinet, and secret guards, and controlled every movement of Daming. In the hands of Emperor Jiajing.
So, King Jing's seemingly clever behavior of wooing ministers must have long been invisible in the eyes of Emperor Jiajing.
In fact, Gao Gong had more thoughts in his heart than what he said. In his opinion, the reason why the Holy Majesty ignored it and acquiesced to it was probably to temper King Yu as he said just now; or it might be to temper King Jing; Relying on his health and longevity, the Holy Majesty let the two princes fight each other like raising a gu, and let the best one win to inherit the throne; maybe the Holy Majesty is in love with power, and now he has no intention of establishing a crown prince at all. so just let it go
The reason why Gao Gong didn't tell the whole story was to encourage King Yu and give him confidence and motivation.
"That's right, Mr. Gao is right. The Holy Majesty let His Highness King Jing win over the ministers and ignored him. He is using His Highness King Jing as a sharpening stone to sharpen His Highness." Yin Shidan agreed.
"Father is tempering me?"
Under the relief of Gao Gong and Yin Shidan, King Yu's face has been relieved a lot, and his fighting spirit has been raised a lot.
"Regardless of whether my father has tempered me or not, since my father let me go, then my brother can win over ministers, and so can I. As Master Gao and Master Yin said, I am older than my brother, and if I am older, it is easier to get me than my brother. Minister supports."
King Yu got up from the chair, patted the table vigorously, and said through gritted teeth.
Gao Gong and Yin Shidan were relieved to see King Yu like this.
but
next second
King Yu is down again.
"But to win over ministers, I'm short of money."
Thinking of this, King Yu's newly raised fighting spirit disappeared without a trace in an instant, and he slumped on the chair, sitting like Ge You lying down.
Gao Gong, Yin Shidan
at this time
There was a rush of footsteps outside the door, and then Chen Yiqin pulled Zhu Pingan to appear at the door. Before Chen Yiqin entered, an excited voice came in: "Your Highness, it's done, we're done!"
"Fortunately, I didn't disgrace my life." Zhu Pingan walked up one step later, cupping his hands and said calmly.
It's done!
Fortunately, life is not disgraceful!
When King Yu heard the words, the dejection on his face disappeared instantly, and he bounced up from the chair with a swish, revived with blood.
Gao Gong and Yin Shidan were also very excited.
