Chapter 608
Xu Shiyun and Ding Yu went in to worship the prince first, and Zhang Rong also carried Zhang Hao's son to worship inside. After worshiping the prince, Xu Shiyun and Ding Yu went to the gate of the inner palace.
At this moment, the palace maids and the wives of officials who came to worship when they saw them coming, and they hurriedly saluted. One of them was the wife of the Duke's Prince, the future Duke's wife, and the other was the wife of the Marquis. They were also top-notch existences in the capital, and they were not comparable to those of the official wives.
Ding Yu and the others nodded and walked to the inner palace. When they got there, Xu saw his two daughters-in-law and grandson coming over and told them to pay attention to something.
After the sacrifice, Xu Shiyun looked at Xu in a low voice and asked: "Mom, should you come back today, right?"
"It seems that I have come back. I heard that I came with King Yu. I guess I have come back. Someone has seen them! You are in the East Palace, haven't you seen your father-in-law?" Xu asked at Xu Shiyun.
"I saw it, but I didn't ask!" Xu Shiyun said.
"It should be back, and King Yu must be back!" Xu said to Xu Shiyun.
"Well, it's good that I'm back. I'm just worried that if I don't come back, my husband will be rude!" Xu Shiyun nodded and said.
"Well. He probably won't come back these days. He probably wants to accompany the emperor. You can take good care of those two children at home!" Xu said to Xu Shiyun.
"Okay!" Xu Shiyun nodded. Of course he knew that Zhang Hao must be very busy now. He is not only a guard of Jiajing, but also a commander of the Jinyiwei. Now that such a big thing has happened, Zhang Hao must be busy.
After Xu Shiyun and the others returned home, they waited quietly at home without going out. But on Zhang Hao's side, Zhang Hao and the others slept until the afternoon.
"Emperor!" After Zhang Hao woke up, he saw Jiajing sitting in the greenhouse. Zhang Hao walked over and shouted.
"Well, I'm awake, Lu Fang, go and prepare some food!" Jiajing said to Lu Fang.
"Yes, the emperor!" Lu Fang went out immediately, and Zhang Hao was also standing next to Jiajing.
"Why are you standing? Sit down. Who can come here? So are you two kids. I don't know that you are going on a daytime journey today, so I have to go on a road at night!" Jiajing sat there and said to Zhang Hao.
"That's not possible. How can such a big thing be delayed? Besides, there is such a big thing happening in the capital. I need to watch. It's also those little guys who are doing it. I have to deal with them!" Zhang Hao sat there and said to Jiajing.
"You, okay, sit down and talk. King Yu has been in Tangshan for a while. I have seen a lot of experiences. I feel relieved with you. Therefore, I will continue to accompany him in this matter in the future. He has been in the palace for too long and I don't know what it looks like outside. I am curious about everything I see. I don't worry with you by my side!" Jiajing sat there, looking at Zhang Hao and said.
"Yes, don't worry, this emperor. As long as your highness is willing to go and see, I will definitely be with you!" Zhang Hao said to Jiajing.
"Well, I'll make tea and chat with me. I've been thinking about the prince and the concubine's affairs these two days. It was because I was negligent to them and gave those people the opportunity to take advantage of it. It was because I was too kind before and always thought that they didn't dare to do this, but after they did, I realized that they really had such courage. So, I shouldn't be kind to them!" Jiajing sat there and said with emotion.
"Your Majesty, you should not be kind to those corrupt officials. You should kill them. If you don't kill them, the people will be in trouble, and our Ming Dynasty will be in danger. Therefore, if you can't stay, you will kill them!" Zhang Hao sat there and said to Jiajing.
"Well, I think so now. In addition, for the Qin King, the results of the trial have come out and he has pleaded guilty. I wonder how much I will kill!" Jiajing sat there and continued to say with concern.
"Your Majesty, this depends on what they did, whether they have killed people, whether they have framed loyalty and good deeds, whether they have enough to be a murderer. If it is done, then consider whether they should keep it. If it is not kept, then kill it. If it is kept, then keep it. Anyway, they can't make any waves!" Zhang Hao sat there, looking at Jiajing and said.
"You go to the Taoist platform, the top book on the left, pick it up and take a look. I have signed 17 killings, fifteen killings, and more than 30 other people were exiled and their families were confiscated. The remaining crimes are subject to the Ministry of Justice and the others!" Jiajing said to Zhang Hao.
"I can't understand either. I haven't read the files, but the key is that the King of Qin and the three princes, and the punishment decisions of the main officials in Shaanxi, so I don't have to care about the others!" Zhang Hao said to Jiajing.
"The King of Qin, Qiu Hou asked to kill him. All three county princes were killed. Several major prefects were killed. Several county magistrates also had several major officials. Most of the main officials were killed and Qiu Hou asked to kill him. Or they were exiled. I would not want to let them go!" Jiajing sat there, gritting his teeth and said.
"Your Majesty, King Qiu Hou of Qin asked for the killing, this... His Majesty agreed to him when he was here!" Zhang Hao looked at Jiajing in surprise and said.
"In the past few months, we will be appointed as the prince. Then the world will be pardoned and let him be exiled!" Jiajing sat there and sighed.
"Oh, that's it, okay!" Zhang Hao nodded and said when he heard this.
"I need to let the vassal kings know that I am not afraid to kill them, but I do not want to kill them. This is also paving the way for you to go to Shandong. However, it is best to go as soon as possible. I hope that this judgment will not be announced before you go to Shandong. Once it is announced, the royal families in Shandong will probably not be so easy to deal with. I will announce it when you clean up the Shandong side!" Jiajing said to Zhang Hao.
"Ah, Your Majesty, will it take so long? Those ministers may have opinions at that time!" Zhang Hao said in surprise to Jiajing when he heard this.
"What can I have any opinions? Many officials have not investigated it clearly. If you don't investigate it clearly, how can the Ministry of Works? Such a big case will be delayed for a year or two, and there will be no problem!" Jiajing said to Zhang Hao.
"Oh!" Zhang Hao nodded when he heard this.
"By the way, when you go out with King Yu in the future, be careful. If someone wants to harm King Yu, I won't say it, you should think of who he is. So you have to do a good job in King Yu's safety!" Jiajing continued to say to Zhang Hao.
"I understand, don't worry, yourselves!" Zhang Hao nodded and said. After a while, King Yu woke up and had dinner with Zhang Hao. Zhang Hao didn't know when King Jing left, and Zhang Hao didn't care anyway.
King Jing has no such life at all. Not only can he become an emperor, but he doesn’t even have a long life. How can such a person become an emperor? In addition, he is not familiar with King Jing. When he was a child, he played with King Yu, but he didn’t play with King Jing much. In addition, Jiajing’s candidate is already the King Yu, so Zhang Hao didn’t want to mess with those things, so why bother with King Yu?
After dinner, Zhang Hao and King Yu sat there to make tea without disturbing Jiajing. Jiajing felt uncomfortable at this time, and it would be useless for anyone to persuade him. It would be better to let him be quiet for a while.
"Brother Manzi, do I want to talk to my father?" King Yu sat there and looked at Zhang Hao and asked in a low voice.
"No need to go, let Your Majesty be quiet for a while. What about you, you have to go to Concubine Wang to watch the night at night. You might as well continue to sleep!" Zhang Hao said to King Yu.
"Well, I can't sleep anymore. I woke up just now, how could I fall asleep?" King Yu said helplessly.
"Then you also close your eyes, it will be all night tonight!" Zhang Hao said, staring at King Yu.
"Yes, okay, then I'll use your recliner to lean on it!" King Yu heard this, nodded, and went to sleep with Zhang Hao's recliner, where Zhang Hao sat there to drink tea.
In the evening, officials from the Ministry of Rites came over and wanted to draft posthumous titles for the crown prince and the royal concubine, but Jiajing nodded and agreed.
Jiajing saw the posthumous title chosen by the Ministry of Rites, looked at it, then modified it with a brush, and handed it over to the Ministry of Rites. The rest of the matter was left to the Ministry of Rites, and Jiajing had no way to worry about such things.
In the next few days, Zhang Hao was busy in the palace. It was not until the funeral of the prince and the concubine Wang were both in the funeral that Zhang Hao and the others were finished.
At this moment, those ministers have written a letter, hoping to confirm the candidate for the new crown prince of the Ming Dynasty. A country cannot be without a crown prince. If the crown prince is not determined, then the court will be in danger. Many ministers recommend King Yu, and of course some ministers also recommend King Jing. Jiajing was very upset when he saw those memorials.
"Well, what are these people doing when they are full? Ah? Didn't I consider the matter of the crown prince? I need them to remind me that the prince has only been away for a few days, so I will choose a new crown prince?" Jiajing shouted very angry.
Zhang Hao stood there and smiled bitterly. Jiajing saw it and stared at Zhang Hao and asked, "Who do you recommend?"
"Ah, my master, I didn't write it. I don't know about such a thing!" Zhang Hao was stunned when he heard it, but he didn't write a memorial.
"I didn't say about writing the memorials. What I said is, who do you recommend in your heart?" Jiajing stared at Zhang Hao and said helplessly.
"King Yu, I am so familiar with him. I don't recommend him. Who do I recommend? Besides, King Yu is in the front!" Zhang Hao immediately said to Jiajing.
"Well, you all know how to recommend King Yu, why don't those ministers know, why do you recommend King Jing?" Jiajing said very unhappy.
