The twenty-eighth chapter should be the storm (2)
Chapter 28 Yingtian Storm (2)
In July, it was already hot in the summer. Cicadas were singing the music of courtship tiredly on the treetops. The sun swept across the earth with a pride, and the people on the streets and alleys were sweating profusely, shoulder to shoulder.
The stove-like Yingtian did not affect people's desire to move. The vegetable farmers in the countryside sold their hard work for a month; the young master who shook the paper fan captured the shy eyes of the girls; the merchants stole two pieces of silk from the satin farm; the brothel prostitutes sat on the fence facing the street and threw their eyes down.
The world is bustling with people, but how can we know the intrigues and shameful things between the government and the country?
The great victory in northern Xinjiang in May was just another addition of the seasonings bragging by storytellers in teahouses. The civilians who were used to victory were no longer as excited as they were more than ten years ago.
If the slogan of expelling the Tartars was still the most popular word in the first twenty years of this empire, then military households became the most popular and popular profession.
But today, Yuyu clarified that peace in the world and the frontiers would always be good news. Although there was no such prominent general as Xu Da and Lan Yu, the King of Yan and Liao had become the new guardian saint in the hearts of the people. It would not take long before these princes would send back good news, spreading the land and beheading them.
But now the military households are no longer popular. When the martial spirit cools down quickly after the climax of victory, the people have begun to accept the fields secretly sold by the military households.
This is how the Han people were. When the climax subsided, this ancient capital of the five dynasties was entering the most glorious moment of life.
The depths of the palace are different from the outside world. The swaying shadows of the trees block the sunshine, and the deep palace walls exuded a hint of coolness. The eunuchs and palace maids traveled carefully but contrasted with the tranquility of the deep palace.
"... Ji Zhong said, "The capital city is more than a hundred pheasants, and the country is harmed. The system of the previous kings is mostly just one of the participating countries, one of the fifth, one of the smallest, one of the nine. If the capital is not subsidized today, it is not a system, and the king will not bear it."..."
The sound of reading aloud came from the study in the East Palace.
Zhu Yunwen listened to the sound of reading in the distance, paced in the corridor of the palace, and slowly walked towards the study.
Zhu Yunwen, the grandson of the Ming Dynasty, is already eighteen years old. His white and clean face shows a bit of a natural noble and gentle gentlemanly. He is tall and slender, but he looks like a handsome young man compared to his obese father.
But Zhu Yunwen always frowned. The palace maids and eunuchs rarely see him happy. As the crown prince, he has a bit of deepness that is not commensurate with his age.
One night, Zhu Yunwen entered the palace to see Grandpa Emperor. The new moon was in the sky and the stars were dotted. Grandpa Emperor wanted to test his knowledge and asked him to write a poem with the new moon as the title. How could he have the ability of Cao Zijian to make a poem in seven steps?
After thinking for a long time, I met the five-character poem: Who pinched the jade nails to break the blue sky marks? The shadow fell into the red lake, and the dragon dared not swallow it.
He was consciously doing neatly, but when Grandpa Huang saw that he had a layer of frost on his face, he didn't say anything and put it aside. That day, when he saw the attendant Huang Zicheng telling the matter, Huang Zicheng hesitated and refused to comment.
Zhu Yunwen knew something was wrong, and after repeated questioning, Huang Zicheng reluctantly commented on his own neat work. It would be better if there was some strength.
Alas, Zhu Yunwen sighed secretly in his heart, and before he knew it, he had already walked out of the study. A voice came from the room: "Zuo Zhuan of the Spring and Autumn Period. Zheng Boke Duan Yuyan, talking about the affairs of Duke Zhuang of Zheng State during the Spring and Autumn Period.
Duke Zhuang gave birth backwards when he was born, which made his mother Wu Jiang very painful, and called him "Xiaosheng". Mother Wu Jiang then disliked Duke Zhuang, but liked his youngest son Gongshu Duan, and wanted to say that Duke Wu of Zheng was easy to sacrificially, but Duke Wu refused.
After Gong Shuduan became an adult, Wu Jiang asked to enfeoff him to the capital, and Duke Zhuang had already ascended the throne and agreed to him.
'The capital city is more than a hundred pheasants, which is the harm of the country'. This Duan Naizhuang Dun's advice, Ji Zhong, said that the height of the capital wall of Gongshu Duan's fiefdom exceeds ten feet, is the harm of the country. 'Most of them are just one of the participating countries'.
This means that the height of the city wall of Dayi should be only 30% of the capital, the middle city should be 50% of the capital. The small city should be 10%. If this system exceeds this, the king will not be peaceful..."
This is Huang Zicheng, the attendant of the Eastern Palace, giving lectures to Zhu Yunwen's younger brothers, Zhu Yunwen, and Zhu Yunxi. Zhu Yunwen stood outside the window, thinking about Huang Zicheng's words just now, and said: "If you don't have to control the capital today, it's not a control, and you will not bear it.
If you don’t have to pay attention to the capital today, you will not be able to bear it…”
Standing at the door, the little eunuch who was dozing off heard the sound and then found that the grandson was standing under the window beside him. He was so scared that he quickly rolled down to the ground and kowtowed, "Your Highness has arrived, the little slave is rude, he deserves to die for ten thousand times, and he deserves to die for ten thousand times.
"He said that, he kept knocking.
The little eunuch's actions woke Zhu Yunwen up, who was thinking, and he waved his hand to let the little eunuch go down. The little eunuch felt relieved and rolled out of the garden.
The locals in the study heard the movement outside and stopped giving lectures. The three emperors and grandsons were in front and Huang Zicheng were behind, and they came out one after another, kneeling down on the porch to salute Zhu Yunwen.
Zhu Yunwen hurriedly asked his younger brothers to get up and asked with a smile: "Did the emperor work hard today and what did he learn?"
The older brother Zhu Yunsheng replied respectfully: "Brother, Mr. Huang tells us the righteousness of Spring and Autumn."
Zhu Yunwen nodded and said, "Okay, let's do it, I have something to say to Mr. Bo Yuan, you all have to part." Several younger brothers bowed respectfully and said withdrew.
Zhu Yunwen was about to talk to Huang Zicheng, but his youngest brother Zhu Yunxi turned around and said, "Emperor, brother, I will take my brother to measure Yingtian's city wall one day."
Zhu Yunwen smiled and said, "Brother, why should I measure the city wall?"
Zhu Yunxi said in a childish voice: "Mr. Huang just talked to his brother about Zheng Boke Duan Yuyan, saying that the walls of the princes' fiefs should not be higher than those of the capital.
The emperor knew the height of the Yingtian city wall. When he was in the future, he would like to follow the etiquette system and cut off the illegal city walls according to the etiquette system."
Zhu Yunwen smiled and felt a little warm in his heart, holding his eight-year-old brother in his arms: "Good brother, okay, I will take you to the city wall to play in the future. Okay, go and play.
"Zhu Yunxi shouted ok, and happily followed the two brothers out of the yard. Zhu Yunwen looked at his younger brother who was so happy that he felt a little inexplicably melancholy in his heart.
Seeing Zhu Yunwen's brows, Huang Zicheng knew that he had something to say to him, so he hurriedly followed behind him. Zhu Yunwen said, "The weather has been stuffy and depressed recently, and it's so uncomfortable. Bo Yuan walked around with me."
The two walked slowly in the palace. Zhu Yunwen didn't say anything for a long time. Seeing this, Huang Zicheng said, "Why are your highness worried?"
Zhu Yunwen said: "Sometimes, the Ministry of War copied the military households from all over the world to send them to the Eastern Palace. I took a look. The north was headed by the King of Yan, and the kings including Jin, Qin, Liao, Dai, Ning, etc. had more than 70 guards, with 400,000 troops. The soldiers from the border were all under the control of these uncles.
Moreover, they are more arrogant and illegal than the other. How can you bear it from now on?" Huang Zicheng knew that the grandson was worried about this matter, and his face became heavy.
Zhu Yunwen said again: "Last year, the fourth uncle came to Beijing to pay homage and met the orphan with the corridor in the palace. Not only did he not know how to give way, he also touched the orphan: This position belonged to the yellow-haired child, and then laughed and left. How should such a arrogant and rebellious person be treated?"
Huang Zicheng said seriously: "Thank you for your trust in Zicheng, and Zicheng dares not to work hard. Everyone in the court knows the character of the King of Yan, how could the emperor not know? It's just that the emperor still relies on him to guard the northern border and is unwilling to break the father-son kindness.
The princes in all directions guard a corner, and the guards are capable of defending themselves. If there is any change, who can support them with the six divisions? The seven countries of the Han Dynasty are not strong and will eventually perish. The strength and weakness are different, but the principles of success and rebellion are different.
Moreover, the kings are not a single piece. I have always heard that the two kings of Yan and Jin have never been together, and the two kings of Yan and Liao are also incompatible.
As long as the kings are separated from their abilities and virtues, and divide and govern them, what kind of climate can a single or two illegal vassal kings become? Your Highness will control a corner with the world in the future, and he will have the momentum of thunder and trembling, so why fear it?"
When Zhu Yunwen heard this, his eyebrows did not unbutton his brows and said, "Bo Yuan's words are reasonable, but Duke Zhuang has a sacrificial priest, Zi Feng, and Emperor Jing has Zhou Yafu. But where is the lonely Zhou Yafu?"
Huang Zicheng said: "Why should your highness worry? The emperor is rich in all the world. All the talents and military strength are beyond the reach of a prince.
Li Jinglong, the commander of the Five City Military and Ma Commander, was the old man. His father, King Longxi, had great martial arts skills, which was comparable to Zhou Bo in the early Han Dynasty. All of this sons were the true teachings of his father. That year, he helped the emperor to quell the Lan rebellion, and his contributions were not inferior to the King of Liao, so he could be Zhou Yafu.
Furthermore, Qi Tai, the Minister of War, was a Confucian general and was always aware of military affairs. In the 28th year, the emperor summoned him to ask about military affairs in the world and answered him in a similar manner. He was good at calling him good, and he could also bear the heavy responsibility. Among the military generals, there were veteran Geng Bingwen, and under Ping'an Ping Baoer, all of whom were tigers and wolfs.
With so many elite soldiers and generals, what’s your highness worried about?"
After hearing Huang Zicheng's words, Zhu Yunwen's worries gradually improved and he said, "I Boyuan's opinion, who is the most threatening among the kings?"
Huang Zicheng said: "Of course it is the King of Yan. He commands tens of thousands of powerful soldiers and commands the three guards of Yanshan under his command to strengthen the world.
Moreover, I learned that he was always fond of raising counselors and soldiers, and his intention was to be punished; the second was the King of Liao, who was in the vassal state, carried out new policies and raised military affairs. In just four years, Liaodong was in great power.
Moreover, the King of Liao was respectful to the wise and the nobles, and the counselors and generals were all excellent, and their strength was not inferior to the King of Yan. Just look at his behavior, he gave gifts to His Highness every year, and he did not look like a person with two hearts. The others, including King Ning, had some strength, and other places were not afraid of it.
”
Zhu Yunwen nodded and said, "When it comes to King Liao, he was the one who asked the orphan to trust the king of Liao at the time of his death. He even asked the orphan to trust the king of Liao, and even foreign affairs were unknown. It was just..."
Huang Zicheng said: "But your highness can't understand what the King of Liao did in recent years, right?"
Zhu Yunwen nodded and said, "Yesterday, the palace mansion reported that the Liao King submitted a letter to ask to go to Beijing in September to be his birthday. The emperor's grandfather has already been approved."
