Chapter 659: The Inevitability of History (Part 1)

On the day that Xu Buji left Beijing and went south to his hometown in Changshu, Zhu Yunwen also showed up.

It is well known to all the world that the friendship between the monarch and his ministers is very deep. It would be a bit deliberate and unjustifiable if Zhu Yunwen did not show up to see each other off.

It's just that they only sent each other ten miles away, and the two of them didn't have much communication.

Zhu Yunwen only said: "When I have time, I will definitely visit you."

"I am in Suzhou, waiting for your Majesty."

The most dazzling prime minister in the Ming Dynasty's political arena has just withdrawn from the stage of history. He could have continued to work for another five or ten years, leaving a thicker ink in the history books of later generations and creating more achievements for himself, but

Based on the choice of the times, both Zhu Yunwen and Xu Buji themselves chose to end like this.

"Your Majesty, it's cold outside, please go back to the palace."

The weather in the first month was perfect for the beginning of spring, but it was still cold. Shuangxi was a little worried about Zhu Yunwen's health, so he tried to persuade him from the side, but Zhu Yunwen refused.

"I'm going to take a breather here and let the courtiers go back first."

After saying that, he glanced at Shuangxi and said, "You should go back to the car and warm yourself up for a while. Your health is much worse than mine."

Shuangxi is six years older than Zhu Yunwen, and unknowingly he is already fifty-three this year.

"If your Majesty doesn't come back, I will stay here with you."

Seeing Shuangxi's insistence, Zhu Yunwen sighed and raised his hands: "That's it, I'll follow you, let's go back to the palace."

As soon as the Holy Emperor got up, a large number of farewell officials surrounded the Emperor and drove back to Beijing. At this moment, the Ming Dynasty Cabinet officially entered the Zhu Gaochi era.

On the eighth day of the first lunar month, an imperial edict was passed to the cabinet.

The Fifth Five-Year Plan was postponed for one year and was drafted in the 48th year of the Ming Dynasty.

This is considered a year's leave for officials across the country.

Local authorities across the country are all jubilant and happy, and their biggest worries have disappeared.

What he was worried about was, of course, whether the emperor would become more harsh and cruel as the empress died. But now it seems that because of the empress' death, the emperor has become more tolerant and easy-going.

Maybe it's "the fox is sad when the rabbit dies"? Afraid that he will die in the future, the officials are criticizing and slandering him behind his back.

And on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, another great event happened.

That was the day when contemporary Zhang Tianshi from Longhu Mountain in Jiangxi Province entered Beijing and was summoned by the emperor. The emperor personally congratulated Zhang Daoling, the founder of Tianshi Taoism, on his birthday.

The emperor, who had always disliked the doctrines of bullshit, ghosts, and snakes, actually started taking shortcuts!

'The emperor desires the magic of immortality!'

This rumor started to spread for some reason, and countless officials felt that it was very reasonable.

Who is not afraid of death?

Especially when a loved one around me died of illness at such a young age, it makes sense to covet the mortal world and think about living a few more years.

The emperor fell in love with Taoism, so he left Beijing and went south to Jiangxi at the beginning of spring. The government was once again entrusted to the prince and the cabinet.

This is undoubtedly an unintentional state matter.

It seems that he abdicated his throne within two or three years.

Most officials in the world are of course extremely happy about Zhu Yunwen's change in personality, because they feel a long-lost sense of relaxation!

That is the relief after not having to wake up early every day and worry about political affairs every day.

Follow the public account: Book Friends Base Camp, follow and you will get cash and coins!

There are no five-year plans, no performance indicators, no plans, no routes, and no various themed spiritual study sessions.

Every day I walked around the yamen gate, went to have a drink after lunch, saw the big drama, and finally settled a batch of public funds with a note. How comfortable and comfortable my life should be.

This is what you call an official!

As if overnight, officials in the Ming Dynasty once again saw the hope of restoring the traditional bureaucratic class.

"If Heaven wants to destroy it, it must first make it crazy and give it some time."

Zhu Yunwen, who was summering in Lujiang, quietly watched the undercurrents surging outside the sky. All these developments were the inevitable consequences of human nature, something he could and had foreseen long ago.

"You see, this is the inevitability of history. If I don't retreat, Ming Dynasty will be a new dynasty. Once I step down, Ming Dynasty will still be the same Ming Dynasty, and it will still be the old dynasty."

Zhu Yunwen looked at the dozens of "Jianwen Dadian" books on the bookshelf with a very sad expression: "People in the world only use "Jianwen Dadian" as a ladder for advancement, and have never really thought about understanding me, let alone this book.

It can change our country. Some people studied "Jianwen Dadian" and became officials, but then discarded "Jianwen Dadian" like worn-out shoes."

If it weren't for the fact that you can only become an official by studying "Jianwen Dadian", who in the world would be willing to read it?

Who is willing to think about the core of the sentence "When encountering problems and contradictions involving people's appeals, they must be dealt with through discussion, education, and criticism." Of course, officials prefer to use coercion and persuasion.

and use punishment to deal with it roughly.

"Your Majesty."

Shuangxi stepped forward to support Zhu Yunwen with some worry, and put his hand on his back to soothe his mind: "You have to take care of your dragon body."

"It's almost over, everything is almost over."

Sitting in the recliner, Zhu Yunwen closed his eyes: "He must have gone to Shandong."

"Gone." Shuangxi hurriedly went to look for it. After a while, he came back with an envelope, opened it, took it out and read: "On May 18th, the second prince had a secret meeting with Chen Youdao, Jiang Wenbin and seventeen other people from Hefei.

On May 24, the second prince had a secret meeting with Hu Qiming in Shanghai to plan the reconstruction of the Hong Kong Terminal Union.

On May 30th, Hu Qiming went to Hangzhou and met his cousins ​​Hu Wei and Hu Yulin.

On the third day of June, Jiang Wenbin took a train to Nanjing Station, and was picked up by Liu Dezhao, a close confidant of the second prince.

On the eighth day of June, Nanjing fellow magistrate Gu Youshan secretly met Liu Dezhao at his house. Gu Youshan graduated from the second phase of Hupan and was an early officer of the Nanjing Student Union.

On June 19, Chen Youdao and Hu Qiming also rushed to Nanjing, and everyone met secretly at Hushan Yayuan, fifteen miles east of Nanjing.

On June 24th, the second prince set off for Shandong, planning to meet Tang Saier at the Railway Transport Hotel, thirty miles west of Jinan Prefecture, Shandong, on the first day of July!"

"He is a smart man. I have always believed that the second child is a smart man."

Zhu Yunwen smiled happily and happily: "I said before that we should stand up bravely, and he really stood up bravely. I very much hope that he can be braver and stand bravely in the sun and face all paper tigers."

Roar."

After a pause, Zhu Yunwen asked again: "How old is Yang Ge?"

"Mr. Yang Ge is already on his way here. He is expected to arrive tomorrow morning."

When the Holy Emperor came to Jiangxi, how could Zhu Yunwen not meet Yang Shiqi? Or, on the other hand, how could the latter not take the initiative to ask for an interview.

"I'm waiting for him."

After muttering something in his mouth, Zhu Yunwen seemed a little tired, leaning on the recliner and falling asleep, so Shuangxi calmed down and stood quietly waiting.

In the distance between the two of them, there were a circle of guardsmen standing in helmets and armor, heads held high.

(The recent chapters have been cut very seriously. The plot of "brothers fighting for the throne" was originally planned to be separated.
