Chapter 526: Zhu Youjian can't bear it anymore
Two days later, Yuan Keli finally returned to Beijing, and at the same time, Bi Ziyan, who returned from the southwest.
Inside the side hall of Jingyang Palace.
Zhu Xu, Bi Ziyan and Sun Chengzong surrounded a chessboard, and Zhu Xu and Bi Ziyan were playing chess. Sun Chengzong was a gentleman who was silent and also a referee.
Zhu Xu's chess skills were mediocre. Facing Bi Ziyan, he was not many streets, he held black chess pieces and found a place to make a move.
Sun Chengzong looked down on the overall situation and had long seen the emperor's defeat. He had always been defeated like a mountain of defeat, and there was no chance at all.
Bi Ziyan looked at Zhu Xu and smiled and said, "The emperor started with a grand start. His layout started from the big picture, and there were amazing hands in some small things, but the overall framework was full of omissions, which affected the entire situation..."
Simply put, the frame is well built and the foundation is also good, but there are many omissions in the middle, making it easy to collapse.
Zhu Xu looked at it for a long time and couldn't find a suitable one. He had to abandon his son and admit defeat, shook his head and said, "I can't do anything with piano, chess, calligraphy and painting..."
Bi Ziyan and Sun Chengzong were also surprised at this point. It was not that the emperor was not working hard, but for some reason, the emperor's handwriting seemed like a good mold, and he couldn't get out of it no matter how hard he practiced it. It could only be considered as a bare eye and could not enter the house.
Bi Ziyan started picking up chess, looked at Zhu Xu and said with a smile, "Emperor, let's have another game?"
Zhu Xu knew that Bi Ziyan was coming to "guid the chess", but he was not interested. He held the chess pieces and said, "I can't play anymore. Now the King of Kings has a problem with me. The cabinet is hanging there, and the whole world is staring at me. Tell me, what should I do?"
Bi Ziyan and Sun Chengzong knew that this was the real thing.
The division of labor between Bi Ziyan and Sun Chengzong was very clear, one was a political and the other was an army. Bi Ziyan listened to Zhu Xu's words, slowed down his chess picking hands and thought carefully: "The emperor suspended the cabinet to curb party struggles. Now the party struggles are particularly popular and cannot be indulged, but the cabinet restart is imperative. I believe that no one is suitable to be the chief minister of this cabinet except King Xin."
Zhu Xu's expression was still. Bi Ziyan was talking about the general trend. It also involved a series of arrangements by Zhu Xu. Except for Zhu Youjian, no one could replace him.
Bi Ziyan looked at Zhu Xu's expression, then looked at Sun Chengzong, and said, "Your Majesty, I want power, so I might as well give it to him. If we are watching, there will be no trouble."
Zhu Xu laughed and said, "Don't underestimate my elder brother. I have been suppressing him and have not given him a chance, otherwise we will deal with some troubles. This time, I deliberately beat him up and let him be the chief minister. But he is determined to do things, but I can't even stop him..."
Bi Ziyan and Sun Chengzong both knew Zhu Youjian a little. To put it simply, this prince was a master with a high attitude and low skills, and did not understand the actual situation of the Ming Dynasty. He had good intentions in doing things, but could not be implemented. Moreover, there were problems with people employed.
This is a royal matter, so Bi Ziyan didn't have much to say. He pondered and said, "Emperor, the cabinet cannot be suspended for a long time. King Xin must have a name, and it must be dealt with as soon as possible."
Zhu Xu also tested the court officials' attitude, and his eyes turned to Sun Chengzong.
Sun Chengzong understood and paused, "Your Majesty, I agree with Lord Bi's words."
Zhu Xu nodded. These two people basically represented the attitude of the current court officials. Since they all thought that Zhu Youjian would be left behind, Zhu Xu would no longer have any burden. He smiled and said, "Well, you don't have to care about the king of Xin. I will arrange for him to be reinstated next year. I have also solicited many people about the change of the emperor next year, but they have no opinions. What do you think?"
The two of them had no objection. The change of the era itself has a very great significance in "reform" and next year, it is just the time.
However, Sun Chengzong suddenly said, "Your Majesty, I think that Yongwu is better than Jingzheng, and can better demonstrate the Yong'an and bravery of our dynasty."
Zhu Xu looked up at Sun Chengzong and smiled calmly. Lord Sun had figured out his thoughts. He really liked "Yongwu", but now he can't give the outside world the impression of "Ming Dynasty is very strong". He smiled and said, "Yongwu, let's talk about it later. Now use "Jingzheng" to be peaceful and generous!"
Bi Ziyan also favored this "Jingzheng". Seeing that the emperor had decided, he said, "I think "Jingzheng" is OK. In addition, I have already formulated the list of personnel entering Beijing in each province. Each province has five people, one governor, governor, provincial governor, senator, and prefect. There are 85 people in the 17 provinces across the country. In addition, the six ministers of the capital, the governor, the governor, the nine ministers, and the clan mansion, gathered a hundred people. The emperor, there is something that needs to be added specifically?"
Zhu Xu's eyes moved. The number of people must be temporary and will increase at that time. Now, there is no hurry. He said, "Let's just do it, when is the date set?"
Bi Ziyan said, "I have initially planned to be in early March next year, but I will still need to coordinate with various places."
Zhu Xu nodded and transferred all the people and minds of the whole country to Beijing. It took time to arrange and also chose the right time.
Liu Shimin came in from outside and said, "Emperor, the grandson of the Tang Dynasty is here to thank you."
Zhu Xu then remembered that this grandson of the Tang Dynasty should come to thank him. Thinking about this, he is also a person with some ability, but he still needs to suppress it so as not to cause the matter of leading troops to defend the king in history, otherwise Zhu Xu would not be able to protect him.
"Let him come in."
Zhu Xu sat on the soft collapse, Sun Chengzong and Bi Ziyan stood behind him.
Sun and Bi were both a little curious. The emperor always had a very clear intention to care for a person. Is this grandson of the Tang Dynasty special?
Zhu Youjian is in his early thirties this year, and is in his prime. He has been imprisoned for a few days or was abused before. Now he is skinny and thin, with scars on his face, but his eyes are burning, without any discouragement, and his spirits are refreshed.
He walked in quickly, looked at Zhu Xu in regular clothes not far away, and knelt down and shouted: "I thank the emperor for helping me!"
Zhu Xu raised his eyebrows. Is Zhu Youjian saying something?
However, he was too lazy to pay attention to the dirty things in the royal palace. These sects' mansions were taken care of and said lightly: "I didn't mean it either."
Zhu Xu's light words kept Zhu Youjian's wholehearted words in his heart, and knelt for a long time but didn't know how to reply.
Sun Chengzong and Bi Ziyan looked at each other with a smile.
Cao Huachun, not far away, laughed secretly, was he trying to be clever in front of the emperor, right?
Zhu Youjian knelt down, his face twitching. How could he have thought of the emperor saying this? No, no thank you, no, no. After a while, he said in a muffled voice: "I'll thank you."
Zhu Xu picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said expressionlessly: "Plain, thank you for yourselves and go back."
Zhu Youjian looked masked. What does the emperor mean? He couldn't understand at all. It was really an "accident" to rescue him?
Zhu Youjian had to lean over again and said, "Abide by the order."
Zhu Youjian stood up, lowered his eyebrows and glanced at Zhu Xu with a pleasing look. With a lot of doubt, he slowly turned around and left the side hall.
Zhu Youjian left, and before Zhu Xu could speak, Liu Shimin turned around and came in again and said, "Emperor, the concubine, please come over, the queen mother is here... I believe the princess is here too."
Zhu Xu smiled, but Zhu Youjian couldn't hold on after all.
