Chapter 13 Wanli Edict (1)

What happened in Xingzhi Academy was beyond Zhu Youxiao's understanding. On the way back, Zhu Youxiao sat in the carriage without saying a word. It was not that he didn't want to say it, but that he didn't know what to say. He looked at his fifth brother sitting next to him for the first time and felt a little strange. Is this really someone who was once said to be a ignorant person who was ignorant of his illness?

However, Zhu Youjian couldn't stand this depressing atmosphere at first and spoke, "Brother, why are you so depressed all the way? Could it be that you can't bear to let go of Liu Jifen, a woman in the guild?"

"Don't talk nonsense, Xiaowu, the emperor's brother has no such thoughts. I just think your performance today is a bit incredible. Why don't you know when you learned to write poems and couplets?" Zhu Youxiao said his thoughts without any concealment.

"So, brother, you should also read some books occasionally. You have been busy with your research and invention recently. I am bored and have nothing to do, so I will take a few books to read. Brother, I am talented and self-taught. If I read too many books, I will naturally write poems right. I said that when I was injured a few days ago, I read a book called "Zizhi Tongjian" in a few days." What Zhu Youjian said could not stand the scrutiny, but it was enough to deal with Zhu Youxiao in the past.

Zhu Youxiao believed it a little after hearing his words. In addition, Zhu Youjian mentioned the injury and made him feel a little guilty. He stopped mentioning this matter, and he could only attribute it to his elder brother as a genius.

Back in the palace, Zhu Youjian entrusted Zhu Youxiao to make a few more skateboards. Because he had the experience of the first two, Zhu Youxiao didn't need to do it himself. The eunuch he taught in the palace could already complete it. Because it was something that Zhang Zhiji wanted, he no longer needed to carve patterns. If he carved a dragon pattern, he would not dare to use it for him.

The two emperors and grandsons of Xingzhi Academy did not mention the incident, and the two brothers Gao Sheng and Gao Han naturally would not spread it. However, when Zhu Youxiao's personal eunuch Zhao Quan returned to the palace, he told the story of the fifth prince to others, saying that they were so arrogant, but they completely forgot about throwing money into the donation box.

The eunuchs and palace maids in the palace have to learn to read and read since they entered the palace. So when they listened to Zhao Quan's poems written by His fifth prince, everyone praised him. When they talked about the couplet winning the first couplet in the capital, they were so angry that they were in a state of laughter, and they even shouted loudly. Many people looked at Zhao Quan with envy. If His Highness took him out, they could also participate in these many interesting experiences.

After the crowd had dispersed for less than an hour, they basically knew about the two emperors in Xingzhi Academy. Because everyone would add their own ideas during the process of sending the message, even the Grand His Highness brought it up in the end. At the same time, this incident also reached the ears of the old emperor Wanli. What the emperor heard was that Li Jinzhong told Wang An specifically, and then Wang An told Wanli bit by bit.

Li Jinzhong also heard others tell stories to him. After hearing this, he regretted that he didn't go with him. The fifth prince sent someone to ask him, but he couldn't leave because he was busy with trivial matters of the talent show. If he had known that he would have been so wonderful, he would have to delay those trivial matters for a day.

Since the beginning of spring, the emperor's spirit has become worse and worse. He can't sit still all day long and feel drowsy. The longer he holds a high position, the more he is afraid of death, and the more he is reluctant to admit that he is old. So in recent days, except for something to tell Wang An, the emperor has never seen anyone, because someone is afraid that someone can see the clue.

On this day, when Wang An saw that the emperor was about to fall asleep, he took the opportunity to talk about the two emperors' grandsons at Xingzhi Academy. Wang An knew the emperor's heart well. The two things the emperor hated the most were that the people in the world thought that he was an emperor, and the other was that everyone felt that his descendants were not good.

At first, Emperor Wanli was a little distracted when he heard that they went to Xingzhi Academy and thought they were just going to join in the fun. He also knew that he was negligent in teaching and that the two emperors were somewhat lacking in studying. However, when Wang An talked about the poems written by the two emperors, Emperor Wanli's expression was a little rosy, and it was rare for many days.

Wang An knew that the poem was written by the fifth prince alone, so he specially attributed the two poems to the names of the two, which also gave the crown prince some benefits.

"What a 'I won't speak first when spring comes, which insect dares to make a sound.' This is the courage my descendants of the Zhu family should have. This sentence, "A thousand reds and purples are arranged, just waiting for the thunder in spring." It's also amazing. The prince taught two good sons! Hahahaha, Emperor Wanli commented excitedly.

"Your Majesty, I haven't finished talking yet. The Imperial College has always regarded itself as the first institution of the Ming Dynasty and always looked down on Xingzhi Academy. But this time, I fell into trouble in Xingzhi Academy. I heard that a Siye of the Imperial College was fainted from anger, and this matter was related to the two Your Highnesses." Wang An has been in the palace for many years and is well aware of the way of speaking and doing things. Only the eunuchs will finish the matter in one breath. When he reaches this point, he naturally knows how to tell the story to a climax and fun. He will never miss it when he should be happy.

"Oh? What else is more exciting? These two kids won't scold their master and faint from anger, right?" Emperor Wanli asked curiously.

"The emperor is wise and really scolded, but that is not an ordinary scolding. It is because Si Ye and his two high men were scolded." He was almost full of appetite, so Wang An told the story that followed to Emperor Wanli.

After hearing this, Emperor Wanli also patted the armrest of the seat and laughed loudly, "This kid is really a little anxious and wise. He really scolds people without spitting dirty words. I think it's either Xiaowu's level, or the 'First League of the Capital' or the Siyetu of the Imperial College has a reputation. Humph, everyone says that my descendants are not good, but they should see how many people can compare to my grandsons. Those literati who claim to be knowledgeable and talented have lost to my grandsons."

"The emperor is wise!" Wang An slapped a flattery and stepped aside and waited to stop talking. He knew that he should not talk too much at this time, otherwise it would be counterproductive.

"Go and spread the two emperors to come." Sure enough, Emperor Wanli ordered Wang Andao to come after a cup of tea.

"Abide by the order." Wang An bowed and retreated, instructing the two eunuchs to summon the two emperors.

Soon, Zhu Youxiao and Zhu Youjian came to the Qianqing Palace and saw Wang An who had been waiting for a long time.

"You two high men, please come in slowly and listen to my old slave." Wang An did not rush to lead the way, but stopped the two emperors and grandsons, "The emperor has learned about the matter of Xingzhi Academy today. Remember, the poem "Ode to the Frog" was written by the Great Emperor, and the poem "Spring Thunder" was written by the fifth Emperor, so you must not be wrong."

Zhu Youjian thought about it and understood the relationship. He clasped his fists and bowed to Wang An and said, "Teacher-in-law's love!"

Zhu Youxiao was still a little confused, why did Xiaowu's poem become his? Seeing his appearance, Zhu Youjian shook his head with a wry smile and explained a few words in his ear. Zhu Youxiao then realized that the fifth brother and one of them were just a reputation, and both of them performed well, that was the prince's lineage outstanding.

After thinking it through, Zhu Youxiao also politely said to Wang An, "Thank you, Eunuch Wang, for your help."

Wang An felt a little happy. Before, these two young boys were called "Wang An, Wang An", and he had never been so polite. It seemed that he had grown up a little.

"Get in."

Zhu Youxiao and Zhu Youjian followed Wang An to the palace to greet him.

The old emperor was so energetic for the first time in many days. When he saw the two emperors coming, he ordered, "Give him a seat."

Wang An invited the eunuch to carry two stools with bright yellow silk cloth and placed them on his right hand not far from the emperor. The two of them thanked each other and sat down.

"I have heard the poems written by you two at Xingzhi Academy. They have written well. It seems that they have been reading poetry and books diligently in recent years." Emperor Wanli said to the two with a smile.

When the two of them heard this, they quickly got up and saluted, "Grandpa Xie praised him!"

The old emperor of Wanli raised his hand and said, "Sit down, there is no need to be restrained today. I feel very relieved after hearing that you have such talent and knowledge. At that time, I was able to study at the age of five and never be lazy all day long. When I ascended the throne, I can still speak day by day, read the imperial lectures, read the scriptures and pass on historical books. Except for Taizu, I am not bad at diligence. Later, I have been sick for many years and have been abolition in government affairs. I feel a little ashamed of my ancestors. When I am old, the country of Ming Dynasty will be subject to Laier and his descendants."

The old emperor of Wanli said quietly, and the two emperors listened quietly, and Wang An seemed to have never heard of it. The old emperor started from childhood, and entrusted the orphanage to the throne at the age of ten, even Zhang Taiyue, whom he didn't want to mention on weekdays, and later he did not pay tribute to the court for many years and many secrets, which made the two of them feel frightened.

After nearly half an hour of talking, the old emperor finally felt bad, and then he sighed.

No matter how he became an emperor, how he treated the world, or how he treated the prince in this life, the old emperor did care a lot since Zhu Youjian was reborn. Although he was a human being in two lives, it was only more than 20 years together, and his scheming was not enough, because he knew that the old man in front of him had not had much time, and he felt sad after hearing the old emperor's words.

So Zhu Youjian became angry and didn't care about what to say or not. He stood up and bowed to Wanli and said, "Grandpa Emperor, forgive my grandson for being rude. If the emperor could work hard to govern as early as he was, he would have accomplished all generations of careers and established a name for all generations. He could only be an emperor for all generations."

Zhu Youjian didn't know that although these words were what he thought, one of the words "to achieve the cause of all generations and establish the name of all generations" was the words of Feng Qi, the Minister of Rites, who criticized Emperor Wanli for his negligence in his prime, and Feng Qi was dismissed from office and confiscated by Wanli for his negligence.

So as soon as these words were said, Wanli suddenly felt dissatisfied. He slapped the armrests of the seats, stood up with a red face, and opened his eyes wide to look at Zhu Youjian.

However, Zhu Youjian kept bowing his head and bowing to the old emperor's situation. He continued, "In the forty-eight years since the Wanli Dynasty, although the government has accumulated many problems, his grandson is willing to go through fire and fire. The grandfather, the father, the king, the brother, the king, the king, the king, the king, the king, the king, the king, and the king, the king, the king, and the revival of the Ming Dynasty began in the Wanli Dynasty."

Wang An, who was standing beside him, was frightened to hear it, but he was a little far away from Zhu Youjian and could not remind him. Zhu Youxiao, who was next to Zhu Youjian, was stunned and did not know how to stop him. The advantages of the establishment of the prince's lineage before were probably ruined by the words of these five emperors and grandsons.

Although Zhu Youjian's words were a good word inspired by the old emperor, he made several mistakes. One was to reveal the emperor's shortcomings, and some words that the emperor himself could not say, and the second was to quote Feng Qi's words. Others may not know them, but the memorials were sealed by Wang An, so Wang An remembered clearly this memorial that Feng Qi was dismissed from office and was confiscated. The third was that the fifth emperor grandson said that the founding of the unparalleled achievements of the emperor before he participated in politics. Although there were problems, it was not harmful. However, it was said that the prince assisted the emperor and the eldest grandson was a great rebellion. The emperor had not yet given up his throne. This was a bit of a decisive meaning for the emperor to seize the throne.

With these three points, it is enough for the prince's lineage to be finished.

Wang An sighed in his heart, he was still too young.

However, what was surprising was that the old emperor looked at Zhu Youjian angrily, but did not immediately have an attack. After Zhu Youjian finished speaking, he looked up at the old emperor, and then he noticed that the old emperor looked at him with a bad look on his face.

When Zhu Youjian noticed the emperor's expression, he suddenly felt a little regretful and thought to himself, "The most ruthless imperial family is really too impulsive."

Although Wanli was old, he had accumulated power for a long time. Wanli usually cared for Zhu Youjian and never felt it. When he got angry, Zhu Youjian realized what the pressure of the emperor was.

Emperor Wanli's heart turned a few times, his face was gloomy and gloomy. After a while, the old emperor sat back on the chair with a little depressed look and sighed, "I'm wrong."

Because of Zhu Youjian's words, the old emperor said that he had almost had angered his energy for a day. After saying that, he leaned on the chair and closed his eyes to rest.

If it weren't for Zhu Youjian's last sentence, "The revival of the Ming Dynasty began in the Wanli Dynasty", I was afraid that today would be unhealthy. Emperor Wanli was resting on his own, and even a few people did not dare to act without the emperor's orders, Zhu Youjian could only stand there.

It was not until Zhu Youjian's legs were a little numb that the old emperor opened his eyes, as if he had been fully nourished, and said to Zhu Youjian, "It seems that I am really old. Maybe Xiaowu is right, but after all, I am still the emperor now and the Supreme Nine Five in the world. I originally wanted to reward you, but since I angered me, the reward will be gone."

The old emperor took a breath and continued, "I still have to give you a reward. Since I have already decided to open a house, I will give you a house. It turns out that Yan Song's house outside Xuanwu Gate is also the largest house in the capital. Wang An, please repair it carefully for the emperor and grandson to get the wedding of the future. After the house is repaired, you can move over. I know that you all feel uncomfortable living in the palace."

"Grandpa Xie Huang." Zhu Youxiao quickly stood up to thank him. He had always envied Zhu Youjian for having a token that could enter and exit the palace gate freely, and he could finally leave the palace.

"Okay, you guys go back. Wang An, tell me about the six departments of the prince's cabinet." Emperor Wanli waved his hand to drive away people.

"Yes." Emperor Wanli didn't know how long it had been since he met the six cabinet ministries. Although he didn't know why the summons were, Wang An still did not dare to delay at all.

Not long after the few people retreated, the prince Zhu Changluo and the six ministers of the cabinet came to the Qianqing Palace. The old emperor of Wanli was in a state of great excitement this day, and after chatting with the two emperors for a long time, his body could no longer hold on. By then, the prince and several ministers, the emperor was already lying on the dragon collapse to rest.

At this time, everyone was waiting to think about it, not knowing what the emperor summoned at this moment. Apart from the crown prince, there were only Fang Congzhe, and there were only five ministers and ministers of the six ministries. The central institutions were still like this, and the serious shortage of other institutions can be seen.

Just as everyone looked at each other and guessed the intentions, the emperor finally spoke, "Illustrated the imperial edict."
