259 Visitation(2/2)
During the reign of Emperor Taizu, Zhang Tianshi was also given the title of Zhengyipin. The title of Zhengyipin was equivalent to that of the Six Ministers, and his status was extremely lofty. When Taizong came to power, he took history as a lesson and limited the number of Zhengyi sect and refused to give him any more titles.
Zhang Tianshi added his name and worked hard to weaken the influence of Zhengyi Sect. In the middle of the court, there was even a Taoist priest who did not support him.
Ye Minyu strongly agreed with his approach, and even Ye Minzhao also agreed. So when the orthodox emperor wanted to invite the contemporary Zhang Tianshi to come down, Ye Minyu once went to the palace to persuade him, but the emperor was so guilty that he didn't listen.
Just go in.
Ye Minzhao guessed it as soon as he saw Ye Minyu's look: "Zhang Tianshi persuaded the fourth brother to intercede in front of his father and help restore his title of second grade?"
Ye Minyu nodded: "Fifth brother guessed well, but I politely declined!" In fact, things are far from that simple. Zhang Tianshi once hinted to him that if he helped Zhang Tianshi obtain the title of the second grade, and help him become a great master
If the Chu State Master told him, he would reciprocate his kindness and help him ascend to the throne.
Zhang Tianshi is not bragging. He is not an ordinary Taoist priest. With his status and prestige among the people, as long as he says something like "The fourth prince's fate is extremely precious and he has dragon energy", it is very likely to influence him.
to orthodox decision-making.
However, Ye Minyu refused on the spot. Although he wanted to be the emperor, he was also a proud person and a person with limits. The examples of Taoist priests in the previous dynasty who disrupted the government were still vivid in his mind. He did not want the chaotic situation of the previous dynasty and the public to be disrupted by orthodoxy.
Appear again.
Ye Minzhao was very thoughtful, and even though Ye Minyu didn't say anything, he could guess what conditions Zhang Tianshi would use to persuade Ye Minyu, and he couldn't help but feel a little admiration for this fourth brother.
Ye Minyu already smiled and said: "If I guessed correctly, Master Zhang will come to visit the fifth brother in a few days. If he makes the same request..."
Ye Minzhao smiled and said: "Don't worry, fourth brother. Even if he really comes to lobby his younger brother, he will definitely not help him. Relatives, Taoist priests, and eunuchs are not allowed to interfere in politics. This is the rule left by Emperor Taizong. Although my younger brother is unworthy,
, also understands these principles.”
"That puts me at ease."
Ye Minzhao frowned: "I'm afraid that this Taoist priest will follow the path of his elder brother!" Ye Minyu and Ye Minzhao were unwilling to accept Zhang Tianshi's kindness, but Ye Minshu was definitely willing to help.
A faint sneer appeared at the corner of Ye Minyu's lips, and she said slowly: "If this is really the case, I will never stand idly by."
After finishing talking about the business, Ye Minyu said a few words of concern about Ye Minzhao's health. "Everything is fine, how come Jingyang Palace has lost its water?"
Ye Minzhao said in an understatement: "The cause of the water leakage has not yet been found out. It is just that the palace maids and eunuchs used fire carelessly."
Seeing that he didn't want to talk more, Ye Minyu didn't ask in depth. He changed the topic and talked about what he had experienced on the way to Jiangxi. Ye Minzhao listened with interest. The two brothers talked for half an hour, and Ye Minyu stood up to leave. He was leaving.
I collected a lot of local specialties along the way in Jiangxi. I went to the palace once today and brought a lot to Qixiang Palace. I was explaining a few words to Ye Minzhao.
Xiao Hanzi had already said through the curtain: "Your Highness, that Feng Wenzhang is here again." There was a slight anger in his voice.
Ye Minzhao's face darkened as he was lying on the bed.
Ye Minyu knew that this Feng Wenzhang was the prince's wet nurse, that is, the son of the prince's wet nurse. He relied on the prince's power to do mischief outside, and he was also a hated figure in the entire capital.
Ye Minyu was about to leave, but when he saw this situation, he asked: "Why did this kid bother you to come here?" He was extremely disgusted with this man, not just because he was the prince's confidant, but because this man had a hobby.
He is very lustful and loves to be with women the most
When the prince did that kind of thing, he would whip the women with a whip. The ladies in the brothel were often tortured by him, and even some good women were also abused by him. However, the Shuntian Mansion prevented the prince from intervening in his death.
He was able to get away with it until now.
Not long ago, the prince was grounded at home by the emperor, and he was honest for a while. Now that the prince came back, the limelight was even greater than before, and he started to tremble again.
Ye Minzhao's face was full of anger: "A while ago, my father-in-law issued an order to ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to renovate Jingyang Palace on a certain day. Then he came to me and said that he wanted me to ask him to do the stone and wood business..."
"If it was for other projects, it would be fine. This is the Jingyang Palace where my mother and concubine live. How could I trust his character, so I politely declined. Who knew he would come again, and this time he would bring the prince to him?
Written note!" Ye Minzhao got really angry when he thought about this.
My younger brother almost died in the fire. Now he is in bed recuperating from illness. All his relatives who can't reach him come to see him. But he, the eldest brother who is the prince, doesn't even show his face. He wants to take over the Jingyang Palace project with just a note.
, has no kindness towards his brother at all.
Now that he is standing between the Crown Prince and King Zhao, he can have both sides. However, if he offends the Crown Prince, he will have to stand next to King Zhao. If he is forced to take sides at that time, he will lose the opportunity to hide behind and reap the benefits.
If he hadn't had this idea, with his temper, he would have beaten Feng Wenzhang out long ago!
Ye Minyu showed a playful smile: "Our eldest brother, the prince, seems to be very short of money recently. He just asked his cousin to marry the daughter of a salt merchant, and he is starting to think about making money from you again!"
Ye Minzhao was also speechless. How short of money is the prince?
He is a prince, and his food and clothing are provided by the royal family. Everything given to him is of the best. Why does he need so much money? It's just to bribe ministers! But his appearance is too good.
Ugly!
Ye Minzhao thought to himself that if the reigning emperor hadn't been for his generous and almost cowardly father, he would have been deposed a hundred times by the way the prince acted.
Seeing that he had a troubled look on his face, Ye Minyu smiled and said, "Do you want me to help you get rid of this person?" Without waiting for Ye Minzhao to speak, he picked up the curtain and went out.
Feng Wenzhang was waiting outside, waiting for Ye Minzhao to summon him. He was wearing a brand new indigo robe, and he had a sharp mouth and a wretched look on his face. A pair of small eyes were restlessly moving around, and he was not a good guy at first glance.
.
Seeing Ye Minyu wearing an azure uniform and walking out of the inner room, Feng Wenzhang was stunned for a moment, then turned around and tried to sneak out of the way. If he wanted to say who the person he was most afraid of in his life was, it was not necessary to ask that the number one person was Ye Minyu.
You must know that Ye Minyu was not as calm and determined as he is now in the first few years. At that time, he was young and energetic. He was good at dancing with guns and sticks since he was a child, and had a bad temper. It was not uncommon for him to whip him to death if he got into his hands. Ye Minyu
Seeing that he was not pleasing to the eye, she had dealt with him several times. One time when she met him in the imperial garden, Ye Minyu whipped him with a riding whip until he was covered with bruises. He didn't even know how he had provoked this demon king.
The key point is that Ye Minyu has a valuable identity and a high status, so beating him is in vain. Even if Ye Minyu refuses to reason with him, he has no place to complain. So he is afraid when he sees Ye Minyu.
Ye Minyu saw him raising his feet and wanted to slip away. She snorted coldly: "Come back here! You can leave without even saying hello when you see me. Who taught you this rule?"
Feng Wenzhang trembled with fright when he heard this. He walked up to Ye Minyu obediently like a mouse seeing a cat, "I have met His Highness King Zhao, and His Highness is a thousand years old!" He knelt down and kowtowed three times respectfully.
Big!
Ye Minyu waved his hand lazily and said: "Get up!"
When Feng Wenzhang saw Ye Minyu, his calf muscles twisted a little, his tongue became knotted, and he stammered: "I heard that the prince went to Longhu Mountain in Jiangxi on the emperor's order. I didn't expect to meet the prince here. What a blessing! Three lives.
