Chapter two hundred and sixty sixth court meeting
Zhu Hongsan is so frustrated that he is so frustrated. Why did he follow the advice of the stinky old man to reign with the country when his head was hot? Otherwise, the King of Tang can get benefits now, and the King of Lu can get benefits. In the future, it will also be swaying between the Qing Dynasty and Yongli. Now, everyone sends people to scold him, saying that his bloodline is not pure.
The problem with identity is Zhu Hongsan's flaw. He used to be just a remote clan. After Zhu Hongsan ranked the heirs of the King of Chu, he would probably be able to get 10,000. Zhu Hongsan never expected that these stinky old ninths of the Ming Dynasty attached so much importance to bloodline.
When he first arrived in Guangdong, Zhu Hongsanman thought that as long as he persisted until Hongguang died, he would become emperor in Guangdong, and the world would be immediately reunited. But the reality was not like that. After Hongguang died, these literati and officials immediately launched a Tang King's Kingdom. Zhu Hongsan, the King of Chu, was not in their eyes at all. But if he did not have the advantage in legal principles, his subordinates would immediately go north to surrender to the Tang King.
Now Zhu Hongsan has pros and cons, and overall the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. When Li Zhi saw Zhu Hongsan, he almost cursed, but when he arrived at Zhu Hongsan's official prosecution, he immediately obeyed, and Fu Wenlong from Nanyang was the same.
The messenger from the King of Tang had no status a few times and could not cause any big storms in the Guangdong officialdom. However, Chen Zizhuang, who came this time, was extraordinary. If he couldn't handle it well, he would lose the hearts of the people in Guangdong.
Zhu Hongsan lowered his head and thought of a solution. If he couldn't do it, he would do the old way. It might be useful to keep someone directly. But let Chen go and see his father first. Playing the family affection card is also a good way.
Zhu Hongsan returned to the backyard to find Chen. Now the backyard of the King of Chu Mansion is even more crowded. There are many people coming in from the backyard of Zhu Hongsan, such as eunuchs, guards, maids, and servants. The front yard has to be given a few houses for the cabinet to be an office space. The King of Chu Mansion in Guangzhou is under construction. Now Zhu Hongsan has money and can no longer treat himself badly. He has enclosed a large homestead in the city and is preparing to build a large-scale construction.
Seeing Zhu Hongsan's construction of major projects, Feng Ruoshu and other stinky old men who took Feng Ruoshu as their responsibility immediately started to criticize, saying that the world was not determined and could not be built in large quantities, etc. Ma Ji also sent Zhu Hongsan a memorial far away from Leizhou, asking Zhu Hongsan not to do whatever he wanted. Now it is different from before. He used to be a idle prince and no one cared about it. But now he is a state-controlled country and will be promoted to emperor in the future, which will make the hearts of scholars all over the world feel cold.
After reading the memorials of these gentlemen in the office, Zhu Hongsan was so angry that he scolded these bastards. They had three wives and four concubines, and there were tens of millions of houses. Isn’t it okay to build a house by himself? In addition, he hasn’t spent their money yet.
These literati became more shameless after coming to Guangdong. Feng Ruoshu was almost seventy and had two new houses. Ma Mingyuan even found five or six wives in one breath. So Zhu Hongsan treated these literati who were touching dogs directly and ignored them, and did whatever they wanted. Anyway, they didn't have to pay.
Zhu Hongsan directly appointed the eunuch Cao Fang as the foreman and immediately started the construction of the King of Chu Mansion in Guangzhou. However, construction has just started for half a year, and it will take another year before construction is completed. This year, it will only be squeezed in old places.
Zhu Hongsan came to the backyard and found Chen directly. Chen is now five months pregnant. It is very dangerous for elderly women to be born in this era. Zhu Hongsan specially sent seven or eight little girls to serve her.
When Chen saw Zhu Hongsan enter the house, he quickly stood up and prepared to salute. Zhu Hongsan quickly stopped him, after all, his son was his own.
"Chen, how about it? Have you still vomited these days?"
"Prince, I've been much stronger these days, and I can eat some simple food every day."
Zhu Hongsan nodded and looked at Chen. This Chen family has been moistened by himself for half a year, and the scars on his face have faded a lot.
Chen did not have the shamelessness of Zhu Hongsan. When he saw the King of Chu, he could not help but blushed. In fact, Chen was very satisfied with his current life. It was too difficult to have a man before, and he was alone every day.
Chen asked in a low voice: "Prince, what's wrong with coming to find my family?"
When reminded by Chen, Zhu Hongsan thought of the reason why he came.
"Yes, your father is back. He is now the Minister of Rites from the King of Tang. You go and see him. It is best to let him stay in Guangdong to help me. Why should he help outsiders if he doesn't help his own people?"
"My father is back?" Chen was very scared when he heard his father come back. After all, he did something shameful, and his father is a Taoist master. He doesn't know how to scold him when he sees him!
"Don't be afraid. You are the Princess of Chu now. He dare not scold you. At most, he will show you a face. You can first explore his words and see if there is a chance to stay. After all, your Chen family is in Guangdong."
Chen nodded, "Okay, I'll follow the prince's instructions!"
Zhu Hongsan actually had no feelings for Chen. He was curious at the time and wanted to ruin his reputation. Seeing that the matter was over, Zhu Hongsan got up and came out. Tonight he would go to his eldest wife Ma Xiaofang to live. Zhu Hongsan now has a lot of wives, but half of them were pregnant and two died of dystrophy. So now Zhu Hongsan has to go to Ma Xiaofang or Ma Ruyan's place every day.
Thanks to the high mortality rate of mothers in this era, Zhu Hongsan now has only ten wives alive, and the rest of the Bai family and Zhang family have died of difficulty in delivery. However, Zhu Hongsan also has the responsibility here. When these women were dying, Zhu Hongsan ordered the child to be protected, so he died.
Zhu Hongsan thought it was very simple. There were women, but the children were indeed their own blood, so now Zhu Hong was in groups of children under his knees.
When he came to Ma Xiaofang's room, Zhu Hongsan saw Ma Xiaofang's face rosy and seemed to have a happy event.
"Xiaofang, what's wrong? Is there a happy event?"
"Prince, aren't I feeling uncomfortable these days? The doctor came to see it in the morning and I was happy again!"
Zhu Hongsan was also very happy to hear this news, but he was just happy. After all, now the big group of children is far less happy to hear this news than Zhu Luo at that time.
"Prince, for the sake of the child in my stomach, I can't accompany you today. You can go to other sisters' places!"
Ma Xiaofang is making a fortune today and can actually ask herself to find other wives. Zhu Hongsan nodded repeatedly when he heard this and quickly got up and went out.
Zhu Hongsan came out and thought about it and went to Bian Yujing's place. Zhu Hongsan wanted to see his daughter. After Bai's death from a dysfunction, a female baby she gave birth was raised at Bian Yujing's place.
I came to Bian Yujing and had a conversation with her, and teased the child, so I took off my clothes and rested in peace.
Zhu Hongsan got up the next morning before dawn and today he wanted to study matters with the cabinet. Now Zhu Hongsan is also a prince and has to get up early every three days to attend court. However, he has not yet been called emperor, so he does not call him a court, but instead discusses politics.
After getting up and finishing, it was dawn. Zhu Hongsan came to the front yard office. Now the royal palace is in a tight room and there is really no place to line up the ceremonial guards, so he can only hold a ceremony meeting in a big room.
Today, since there was a major event to be discussed, all the civil servants above the fourth rank in Dongguan came, even the two county magistrates of Guangzhou Feng Ziyong, Nanhai and Fanyu were all here. There were more than 30 people in the room, and they were full of standings.
After the courtesy of Zhu Hongsan and other civil officials, he said, "My dear lords, the Tang King of Fujian sent another envoy yesterday to ask me to revoke the title of ruling the country. Let's discuss it today!"
Tong Yangjia was the first to stand up and speak. He was a strong King of Chu. How could he let the King of Chu remove his title of ruling?
"Your Highness, since the Jingnan Dynasty, the King of Yan's lineage was extremely cruel. First, the Emperor Yingzong favored Wang Zhen, and then the Tumubao Incident was in a slack political affairs. Then, the Emperor Zhengde of Wuzong was slackened in government affairs, and the Emperor of Jiajing and Wanli did not attend court for decades, which led to the Qing Dynasty outside the pass to become bigger. Finally, Emperor Chongzhen was harsh and polite, causing our Ming Dynasty to lose half of our country. Therefore, I think that the King of Yan could no longer be orthodox, and should look for a virtuous and wise king among other royal families. Your Highness of Chu was born in a small state, and could be the only choice for the new king. I asked Your Highness of the King of Yan to ascend the throne today!"
After Tong Yangjia finished speaking, five or six people stood up and said, "I will advise you to ascend the throne!"
Tong Yangjia's words were quiet in the room. Except for Zhu Hongsan's several iron rods, these ministers didn't know what Tong Yangjia's words meant. Old Tong's words completely denied the legitimacy of the rule of the Ming Dynasty for 200 years, and directly pointed out that the Jingnan of King Yan Zhu Di was a rebellion, which was really unforgivable in the hearts of the literati who were deeply favored by the emperor. But the situation is stronger than others, and Tong Yangjia is the iron rod of the King of Chu. Who knows whether he was talking about the King of Chu, so it's better not to speak.
Originally, I was just going to discuss how to deal with the King of Tang, but I didn't expect it to be persuaded to ascend the throne. Zhu Hongsan smiled bitterly and was about to speak. Aside, Tong Yangjia's ten thousand-year-old rival Ma Mingyuan stood up and said, "Mr. Tong, today the governor is convening everyone to discuss how to reply to the King of Tang. What are you doing? Your Highness wants to agree with what you said and immediately become the target of public criticism. What are you trying to beat?"
"Master Ma, do you disagree with Your Highness the Regent ascending the throne? Yes, you, Ma, is a Jinshi from the Chongzhen Dynasty, so of course you have to speak to Chongzhen. I heard that the King of Tang has arranged your position for you, but I wonder if he is a Grand Secretary?"
"Tong Yangjia, don't swear! I have followed Your Highness from Huguang, but I have been much earlier than you, Tong Yangjia. This crime cannot be attributed to me!"
Seeing that the two men below were about to fight again, Zhu Hongsan quickly said, "Sir, please stop talking. Today we are summoning everyone to discuss how to respond to the Tang King's question. Let's talk about other things later!"
Seeing Zhu Hongsan appear, the two of them stopped quarreling.
At this time, Feng Ziyong stood up and said, "Your Highness, it is impossible to abolish the regent. Not to mention anything else, all developments in Guangdong are developed by the King of Chu alone, so that we can hand over the foundation to the King of Tang for no reason. I think all the adults present cannot agree, right?"
This is the time to express the political stance. These ministers are not fools. At this time, they dare to say something wrong. When they heard Feng Ziyong ask, they all said, "Mr. Feng is saying it's so right!"
Chapter completed!
