Chapter 243: Your Majesty's Mind
The vigilance in the palace has also been significantly enhanced.
Although it is not as good as one stance, one stance and one stance every five steps, you can still see the tension of the guards.
Hao Fenglou entered the palace all the way, entered Fengtianmen, and reached Fugui Mountain.
This Fugui Mountain is a royal garden, which is actually the remnant of Zijin Mountain. It has been decorated and lush and lush, and it is a rare place to cool off in summer.
But Zhu Di didn't come here often, but today he was among these countless pavilions, and Zhu Di sat leisurely in the pavilion on the hillside.
This pavilion is extremely cleverly designed. On one side, the windowsills are large in the air and open in the air. You can enjoy the Forbidden City at the foot of the mountain from here. On the other side, bamboo forests are planted, and through the empty panes, you can enjoy the mountain wind on the mountain.
Zhu Di did not eat tea today, but was drinking. It was not a big cup, but a small drink.
He was holding memorials in his hand, but he did not approve them. After reading them, he threw them aside.
An eunuch bowed in and said, "Your Majesty, Hao Fenglou is here."
Zhu Di said lazily: "Call in."
Hao Fenglou came in and saluted and said, "Have your father's anger gone?"
Zhu Di smiled, his eyes shone through the huge window, looked at the clouds and mist in the sky, and said, "Why am I angry? You are too naive, I am not angry. Even if I am angry, the people who make me angry will die as soon as possible. Fang Xiaoru is angry, and I will let him doom him. Tie Xuan is angry, so where is he now? You underestimate me too much. Don't I have Ji Gang? With Ji Gang here, the anger in my stomach will be gone long ago."
Zhu Di looked sideways and looked at Hao Fenglou with a smile and said, "How is it? I have gained a lot of knowledge with Ji Gang?"
After hearing this, Hao Fenglou felt chills in his heart and said, "I think this is better if I don't look good."
Zhu Di put his hand on the handle of the chair and said with emotion: "Actually what you said makes sense. Ji Gang is a man who uses any means. Of course I know it. It is because of this that I use him. Governing the world is like doing things. Some things have to be like someone to be a good person. I don't care about this bad guy. But I don't care about it, but I can't let me do some things myself, so I use Ji Gang. You are different from Ji Gang, so there is no need to interfere with him. You are different from him. It is extremely important to recognize this point. Ji Gang reconcile
Jin, they are all indispensable people of me, at least for now, one is hard and the other is soft. Hard and soft, and only with both strength and relaxation can be useful. The reason why I say you are different is because they are tools, you are my adopted son, and tools can be used for a while. After all, they cannot be used for a lifetime. So don’t be tools. You want to be a human being, the tools do not have joy or anger, and their joy or anger are all in my heart. But people have sorrow and joy, their own opinions, and they think they can do whatever they can and cannot do, and people have their own opinions. It is not a bad thing."
Hao Fenglou said: "My father's teachings have been remembered."
Zhu Di remembered something and suddenly said, "The academy has hung a portrait of Taizu. Although it is a ruthless person, you still order people to set off firecrackers and attack. Why don't you worry about it?"
This sentence obviously means a bit blame. It makes sense. When Zhu Di was in Jinan, Tie Xuan was hiding the portrait of Taizu, even though Zhu Di was angry, he had to return in the end. Now you are bold, although the people in the academy are hateful, you can't be jealous of them at all.
Even though Hao Fenglou did something that Zhu Di wanted to do but didn't dare to do, now when looking back, there must be an explanation.
Hao Fenglou said seriously: "Although the academy hangs out the portrait of Taizu they consider themselves to be, in the eyes of the sons, they are not Taizu."
Zhu Di looked up at Hao Fenglou: "Hmm?"
Hao Fenglou said: "First, if Taizu was really alive, he found himself coerced by a group of hateful students to protect them. With Taizu's nature, he had already confiscated their nine tribes and skinned them as grass, making them doomed. Who was Taizu? How could he be coerced by these people?"
Zhu Di smiled. He had truly experienced the Taizu Dynasty. Taizu had always discriminated against students, and had never been polite to these students. Now, if he thought about it carefully, this is indeed the case. If Taizu was alive, he would be much more intense than Hao Fenglou.
Hao Fenglou continued: "The second thing is that I have seen the portrait of Taizu in the palace, which is thousands of miles apart from the portraits painted in the academy. The name above is only six characters of the spiritual position of the Taizu God. But I want to ask, is this Taizu really the Taizu of this dynasty? They did not state that it was a portrait painted by Taizu of this dynasty, and it was far from Taizu. So the minister had to dare to think that the person hanging by these people was Yuan Taizu. If so, how dare I sit down and ignore it? Faced with these students who worship Yuan Taizu, I naturally cannot be polite. Otherwise, the father would definitely punish the crime of dereliction of duty."
From the beginning, Hao Fenglou left a flaw, so when Zhu Di asked, he answered impeccably.
Zhu Di smiled: "It's reasonable. Why didn't I think of it when I was in Jinan?" He sighed and said: "So some people always say that I am wise and wise. In fact, most of them are just flattering. I may not be very wise. Also, Ji Gang killed so many people there, many of them were wronged, right? Killing innocent people indiscriminately is certainly counted on Ji Gang's head, but I understand that without me, Ji Gang would not dare to do anything, which shows that I am the mastermind."
When Hao Fenglou heard this, he became serious and said, "Father did not kill innocent people. Sometimes killing people is to save people. These students make trouble for no reason. In order to coerce the palace, they are bold and reckless. If Your Majesty let them go, will the temple be full of empty talk in the future be good for the country? But if they are not coerced by them, they will definitely breed more troubles and cause more trouble. When the court can't bear it, they will inevitably flow into blood. However, the people you kill now are wronged, but they can also be considered as killing chickens to warn monkeys, making these scholars afraid, let them settle down, and killing these people, but in fact they save more people, so that those ignorant students will be instigated by those who are interested. If they make trouble today, they will make trouble tomorrow, and finally they will make trouble to the point of not enduring."
Zhu Di narrowed his eyes and said, "I will believe what you said. After saying so much, it's time to talk about yourself. Now your life will not be easy. You offended people to death. I am different from you. Even if I kill you, those sour scholars will not dare to do anything. But after all, you are just a personal army, and I am afraid that you will not be criticized in the future. Although a man and a real man doesn't care about these things, he must also avoid what he should avoid."
"I ordered you to be the commander-in-chief of the Jinyiwei to leave you a way out. Look, there is the latest report here. Zhu Neng, Duke Chengguo, has an old disease, and is no longer worthy of being the commander. I have issued an order to command the deputy general Zhang Fu to take over his position and command the southern army. Duke Chengguo, Keri, returns to Beijing to rest. Your father has also set off for Annan, right?"
Hao Fenglou said: "Yes, I moved a few days ago."
Zhu Di nodded and said, "Originally, Zhu Neng is here, I am relieved about Annan's affairs. But Zhang Fu, although he is a tiger father and no dog son, he still lacks tempering. Annan is just a small country. When my heavenly soldiers arrive, I will be invincible. Now, many prefectures and counties in Annan are indeed in the hands of my Ming Dynasty. Annan's rebel party is like a broken dog and is in panic all day long. What I need to think about is the issue of the aftermath. Zhang Fu is not mature enough, so I am afraid that he will faint in Annan. Fortunately, Prince Chen in Annan has recovered as before and is healthy. At this time, it is time to let him go back to Annan to calm people's hearts."
Zhu Di was silent for a moment before continuing: "You are more steady than Zhang Fu. Although you are sometimes arrogant, you can still care about the overall situation. So this time, I plan to let you escort Prince Chen back to Annan in the name of the commander-in-chief of the Jinyiwei. Doing this will naturally accumulate some military achievements for you. Secondly, you can just take it as a way to avoid the limelight. As for those offending people, you don't have to worry about it anymore, and you have to cook it yourself."
Zhu Di glanced at Hao Fenglou and then said, "Can you understand what I mean?"
Hao Fenglou can understand that since the matter of Wenchang Academy has been opened, it will never end easily. Ji Gang is now crazy. With him, there will be no good result. Zhu Di certainly understands that as long as Hao Fenglou stays in Nanjing, the affairs of Wenchang Academy will always be related to him. Next, every person dies and everyone dies unjustly, the account will be settled on Hao Fenglou. Since that is the case, let Hao Fenglou go far, on the one hand, it is to go to Annan to make achievements and accumulate some qualifications. On the other hand, it is to stay away from the capital. Since Ji Gang is willing to be this bad guy, let him do it.
Hao Fenglou said gratefully: "My son understand."
Zhu Di smiled and said, "Since that's the case, before going, I will simply think about the battle situation in Annan with you. Sit down, these are some memorials sent back from Annan, you can take a look."
The eunuch brought a small stool, Hao Fenglou sat down without hesitation, took the memorial sent by the eunuch, and then began to look in detail.
Of course he knew that Annan was thousands of miles away from here. Although someone sent the news there, whether the memorial was exaggerated or even concealed, he needed to identify it himself. This was actually a difficulty for the ruler. Although the emperor did it easily, to be a good emperor, one must first have a pair of wise eyes. If he couldn't even tell the difference, then he could only let others lead him.
Now that he is about to go to Annan, he naturally needs to try his best to understand the truth about Annan, otherwise he deserves to be cheated by people.
