Chapter 212 Start

ing to move

Although the New Year comes in the first month, the real spring in the north always comes very late. It is said that it is warm and cold at first. Just look at the clothes, they are all thick cotton-padded jackets, as if they are no different from winter. The trees are still bare, and the garden is still bare.

The house was also bare, and the only signs of spring were a few green weeds beside the road and the bamboo shoots sprouting from the ground.

Before the spring rain came, the spring thunder sounded in the city of Beijing. Not long after the edict asking for outspokenness was issued, and there was no sign of the way to open up the public speaking, Meng Xian and Sun Liang, Gan and Wuwen, were sent away by two fast horses, one after the other.

When they arrived in the capital, they were transferred from the cabinet to the imperial cabinet, and what followed was like a thunderbolt exploding over the heads of countless people. However, this was only the first wave.

But one day later, Shouguang King Zhu Zhanqi, who had been accused of countless crimes in the first two memorials, also sent a memorial. However, he did not defend himself, but carefully listed his father.

Wang Zai's every move after taking possession of Le'an, including the resentment behind his back, secretly expanding his private army, privately occupying the production of salt fields, privately collecting commercial taxes, secretly handing over to local officials, secretly leaving Le'an... In short, there are all kinds of regulations.

Even Yang Rong broke into a cold sweat when he saw it, let alone others.

However, since the onset of wind paralysis, Zhu Di, who was often furious and often killed people, did not get angry this time. He just casually threw aside the memorials of Meng Xian and Sun Lianggan, but stared at Zhu Zhanqi's flying memorials over and over again.

He read it many times, as if he wanted to remember every word in his mind. However, the more he acted like this, the more frightened the eunuchs and maids who served him were. They endured it for several days. In the end, Zhang Qian, who was helpless, had to go

Ask Concubine Wang for help.

Concubines could not interfere in state affairs, so Wang Guifei tried her best to persuade Zhu Di to take medicine and fall asleep. She was helpless and thought about it. She could not see those foreign officials, so she had to take a few palace maids and eunuchs with her.

Heading to Gyeongbokgung Palace. Although the weather was still cold, she abandoned her carriage and walked. When she arrived at the gate of Gyeongbokgung Palace, she ordered no communication, leaving a few eunuchs outside, and she only brought two maids inside.

"Since the time of Emperor Taizu, there have been holy teachings that vassal princes are not allowed to compete with the people for profit. How dare they dare to create salt works! Scholar Hu mentioned this to me when he was still alive. The salt merchants' defenses were becoming more and more serious, and the border areas were actually borderless.

If people pay for food, the output of the salt field will also decrease day by day. If things go on like this, the salt law will be ruined! King Shouguang invades the salt field and treats his father as his son. How can there be filial piety among sons and loyalty among ministers? "

Wang Guifei had already heard the voice of the emperor's grandson Zhu Zhanji, and knew that there was an outsider inside. After thinking for a moment, she sat on the heated kang outside. When she saw a young eunuch bringing tea, she wanted to report it to the inside.

She shook her head slightly. After taking a sip of the Anhua Yunwu Tea, she heard another voice coming from inside.

"Since the emperor came to the throne, he has always severely punished those domineering vassal kings. But after all, the King of Han is the emperor's legitimate son. King Shouguang is also the legitimate grandson. Although the emperor is furious about this incident, it is still hard to say how to deal with it. The emperor's grandson, Shouguang

The King of Han's rebellion has been clearly stated in the king's memorial. I'm afraid... By the way, there is another memorial in Qingzhou Prefecture today. It was sent jointly by the prefect Ling Hua and the fellow prefect Zhang Yue. I have already submitted it to the emperor. I have copied it here.

One copy, the emperor's grandson might as well take a look."

Hearing that the two people inside were just talking endlessly, Wang Guifei couldn't help but sigh. Seeing the eunuch serving tea just standing there with an uneasy look on his face, she nodded and motioned for him to go in and report. After a while, she spoke through

Zhulian saw a eunuch over there sending someone out, and immediately Zhu Zhanji personally greeted him.

"Why didn't anyone say anything when your concubine came? If I had known earlier, how could I dare to let you sit outside and wait?"

Concubine Wang smiled and waved her hands, saying it was okay, and asked who was talking inside. She laughed when she heard it was Yang Rong: "It turns out that it was the one who changed the name by the emperor himself. I heard that he has been the teacher since the death of Master Hu."

You. In that case, what's the big deal if I wait for a while? I just came to Nuan Palace. I finally persuaded the emperor to sleep, but I still have a few words to say to you."

Since the death of Empress Xu, Zhu Di has been exactly the same as the forefather Zhu Yuanzhang. He has never been appointed to the middle palace again, and the sixth palace is the royal concubine. Although she is modest, she is the only one who dares to persuade Zhu Di when he gets angry. The forefather King of Han almost almost

When she was demoted to a commoner, if she hadn't met and begged, even the prince's plea might not have worked. Even Zhu Zhanji occasionally got into Zhu Di's bad luck, so he accepted the love of the king's noble concubine more than once.

At that moment, he bowed down respectfully and said, "Please teach me, your concubine."

"It's not really a lesson, it's just a few words of advice. Come on, sit down." She motioned Zhu Zhanji to sit down on the west end of the kang, and the concubine Wang Guifei said, "Let the matter of the assassination of the King of Han be settled.

There are many rumors inside and outside the court, but the emperor has always been concerned about it. I have seen that bloody coat in the study several times, and every time the emperor would sigh and talk about what happened back then, which shows that the emperor just hates that iron cannot be transformed into steel.

.You are the emperor’s grandson. When you have free time, you should spend more time with the emperor to talk about family matters. Now you must not mention this matter again, do you understand?”

If it were someone else who was nagging about these things, Zhu Zhanji would definitely sneer at it, but since Wang Guifei was so solemn about her matter, he did not dare to neglect it and quickly agreed. While talking, he suddenly noticed the gold and jade titles on Wang Guifei's temples.

Spots of white hair were clearly visible under her hairpin, and her face was much more haggard and thinner than last year. I couldn't help but feel pity in my heart, but I heard Concubine Wang suddenly ask.

"By the way, I just heard you and Academician Xiao Yang mention Zhang Yue, but that nephew from the British Commons?"

"It's him. Why, even the imperial concubine knows about his reputation?"

"Everyone in the palace who can read has read his wonderful article, how could I not know it?" Wang Guifei couldn't help but smile at this time, and then explained, "The British princess went to the palace after sitting on the mattress.

, but after being questioned by several concubines, I found out that the young man was not married because of the emperor’s words. Everyone was surprised! When I just went to Nuan Palace, I saw the emperor looking at him and his wife.

The memorial on the joint signature of the emperor made me look a little sad at times, sometimes cloudy and sometimes clear. Fortunately, the emperor finally put down the memorial and placed it in the left corner of the imperial desk. It was always reserved for those who wanted to keep it for later reading, which was enough.

It can be seen that he has some real talents at such a young age."

Zhu Zhanji also knew Zhu Di's habit, and was more curious about what was written in the memorial at this time. After all, Zhang Yue mentioned the salt affairs to him when giving gifts before, and then a series of major events happened. If he had not done anything about it,

The movement was not that strange. After talking to Wang Guifei for a few more words, he had to promise that he would never fail to open any pot in front of Zhu Di, so he sent her out in person. When he turned around, he immediately picked up the pot from his sleeves.

Take out the transcript of the memorial.

Zhu Zhanji had read Meng Xian's memorial, and he didn't know which hand had written it with brilliant penmanship. It was written with flowers and flowers, as if every word was for the country and the people, and ten thousand kilograms of salt could save all the people of Shandong.

It was as if he was in the midst of fire and water; and Sun Lianggan's memorial showed a kind of anger from beginning to end. The implication was that King Shouguang was unforgiving and the King of Han had ulterior motives, and the court should be considerate of the people's hearts and minds, and had the intention of inciting the emperor to kill his relatives for righteousness.

Zhang Yue also mentioned the same thing here, but he only mentioned it briefly. Instead, he analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of the method of opening the salt in the middle. The details were extremely clear and detailed, and he also proposed ways to improve it. This is enough in the first place.

, it was a great article. But at the end, he mentioned that Shandong was the first to build a river and provide wood and stone for Beijing to build the palace city. The people were suffering from hard labor, which made his expression change drastically.

"This kid...doesn't you understand that he is worse than he is?"

While Zhu Zhanji was stamping his feet there, he saw Du Zhen, the local man who had copied Zhang Yue's memorial, also sighing there.

He traveled around the world for ten years. The longest time he stayed was in Henan, but the second was Shandong. Therefore, all the officials in the Chief Secretary thought that he was a newcomer, and he just laughed it off. Although he seemed to have the Chief Secretary's advice in everything after taking office.

Zhang Hai took the lead. But first the King of Han was assassinated, then there was heavy snowfall in Shandong, and then there was another major salt case. Zhang Hai almost gave up the fight, but he was the one who supported him. At this time, Old Song Li was leading people to investigate Shandong

In the case of Shang Xia, Zhang Yue suddenly got such a discount!

The timing was right, the opinion was good, and the wording and sentences were all right. It was not in vain that he had taught for so many years, but why bother adding that one more thing later? The river was built to communicate with water transport, and the city of Beijing was built to move the capital.

Jian, isn't he deliberately trying to find fault for himself? Just when he shook his head again, a voice sounded from behind.

"Master, what's the point of you shaking your head and sighing? Yuanjie is still young. Even if the article is not good, you don't have to be so picky, right?" But Qiu heard Ming Di tell Du Zhen that he was unhappy.

Just then she hurried over. When Du Zhen turned around, she said angrily, "Speaking of which, even if you think Yuan Jie is good like me, you don't have to send Wan'er over. What are you telling me?

Just in case something unexpected happens, but I think he is just getting promoted, there is no danger at all!"

Du Zhen was naturally aware of his wife's temperament, and couldn't help but laugh at this moment. However, when he heard Qiu talking about Zhang Yue's promotion and not being in danger, he suddenly understood, and the joints that he had just been unable to understand suddenly cleared up.

Tong. This time, the imperial edict to speak out will naturally be rewarded. Zhang Yue's article combines his original views and adds some novel and interesting things. He may be promoted because of this. But Zhang Yue was promoted to a rank not long ago.

Level, it would be terrible if it were to be upgraded again now.

"It makes sense for me to let Wan'er stay there." Du Zhen put down the transcript in his hand and said thoughtfully, "The invisible danger is the most dangerous. Although the winter has passed now, the spring thunder has exploded.

Xiang, this thing is just the beginning. Tomorrow you pick two capable boys to deliver something to Qingzhou for Yuanjie and Wan'er. Well, it's the two silver vermilion tassels that they sent before.
