Ming Dynasty: My Brother-in-law is Zhu Youxiao - Chapter 459

  Chapter 459 Wen Tiren: I have always been loyal to my uncle!

  After the decree of establishing the secret concert system was issued, Cheng Jiming and Liu Hongxun still came to Wen Tiren’s housekeeping.

  Although they were ashamed of Wen Tiren’s behavior, they still wanted to find out why Wen Tiren, who was also a scholar-bureaucrat, did this.

After Cheng Jiming and Liu Hongxun came to Wen Tiren’s room, Wen Tiren already guessed their intentions: “You two elders don’t need to talk anymore, I know what the two elders want to ask. I can tell the two elders, It can also be regarded as colleagues in the world know the sincerity of the servant.”

   “All ears will be heard.”

  Cheng Jiming and Liu Hongxun both replied at this time.

Wen Tiren said: “When the people of the world slandered and slandered His Highness, they didn’t consider His Highness’s feelings, nor did they ask His Highness, so if His Highness wanted to suggest that His Majesty set up a secret concert system, why should he consider the feelings of the people of the world? Ask the people of the world whether they agree or not?”

“But the gentlemen of the world did not participate in the slander and slander of His Highness, saying that his adultery with the royal family was just the work of a few villains with ulterior motives! Why should Your Highness report to the people of the world for being hurt by a villain? Why did Yuan Fu follow suit, and Let the gentlemen of the world be burdened by a small group of gentlemen, dare not persuade Your Highness?!”

  Cheng Jiming asked.

Wen Tiren said with a sneer: “The two elders of the pavilion and the people of the world, who participated and who did not participate, who can explain clearly? As for why His Highness did this, it only shows that His Highness would rather let the people of the world be implicated by villains than I will not let myself be wronged for no reason. The servant’s agreement is naturally for the long-term stability of the Ming Dynasty. If it is not the case, it will only cause chaos in the court. Besides, the servant has always admired His Highness and supported all His decisions. In my servant’s opinion, all decisions made by His Highness are the most wise. Because being loyal to Your Highness is being loyal to His Majesty!”

   “Yuansuke thinks so?”

  Cheng Jiming couldn’t help asking this question.

But Liu Hongxun yelled angrily: “Wen Wucheng! You are shameless! You would say that you support all his decisions made by Uncle Zhang Guo! Your loyalty and bravery in the past to prevent Uncle Zhang from accepting the Zen throne Where did you go?!”

Wen Tiren chuckled and said, “I just want to say that I am inconsistent. No, I have always supported His Highness. In the past, Fu Que advised His Majesty to stay with His Highness. It was meant to support His Highness, not to oppose His Highness.” ! In my view, Your Highness is the most wise one who has the merit of reinvention, and I have never wavered in my trust in Your Highness.”

  Cheng Jiming and Liu Hongxun did not expect to get such an answer from Wen Tiren.

  The two were quite disappointed.

But Cheng Jiming still bowed his hands, squeezed out a smile and said: “The servant said that Yuanfu is different from others, his eyes are like a torch, and his knowledge is far-reaching. What he said now is indeed thought-provoking and admirable. As Yuanfu said, Your Highness Presumably the purpose of setting up the secret memorial is not to embarrass the world, nor is it to avenge one’s own grievances, it is the same as Yuanfu, it is for the long-term stability of the Ming Dynasty!”

   Seeing Cheng Jiming’s statement, Liu Hongxun was quite annoyed for a moment. He was annoyed that he should not have lost his composure just now. He should be like Cheng Jiming.

And when I thought about what I said just now, Zhang Gui might see it through the secret rehearsal, and I felt a chill down my back, and smiled more humbly at Wen Tiren: “Yuan Fusu has a lot of tolerance, please don’t talk to me.” This reckless person has ordinary knowledge, but now that I think about it, Yuanfu is the one who understands the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty the most, and is also the most upright, we are still not as good as them.”

  Wen Tiren knew why Liu Hongxun suddenly changed his attitude. It was simply because he was afraid that he would offend him too much and be given a secret performance by him.

   After all, in this era, it is really hard to say which bureaucrat has no clue.

  But Wen Tiren didn’t really think about getting too fussy with Liu Hongxun, because he was also afraid of Liu Hongxun’s secret performance about him.

  So, Wen Tiren only said: “Ge Lao is too famous!”

  The three cabinet ministers in the cabinet still seem very harmonious.

   But in fact, although these bureaucrats are trying their best not to turn against their colleagues as before, after the establishment of the secret decree system, Zhang Gui still received many secret memorials from powerful bureaucrats at the secret memorial office.

  Although these dignitaries and bureaucrats say no, their bodies are not honest.

   There is no other way, no one wants to take advantage of this secret music system to get rid of their opponents and maximize their own interests.

  Human nature cannot stand the test.

   Zhang Gui also saw a lot of secrets because of this, and even a poem like “Qingfeng is illiterate, why turn the pages randomly” was accused of being a type of literary prison of the author’s deliberate rebellion.

  Of course, there are also reports that are logical and true at first glance.

  But no matter what it is, Zhang Gui has no intention of dealing with it.

  He just wants to give these bureaucrats a sense of unease that I know what you have, but you don’t know that I know what you have.

  Only in this way, these bureaucrats will not do anything to Zhang Gui.

  After all, they can’t guarantee that without Zhang Gui, if another person is in charge of the Mizuo Office, they will use these clues to start a big case.

  Nowadays, at least Uncle Zhang Guo would not really use this to trick people.

  So, after receiving many secret memorials, Zhang Gui only took one of the secret memorials, and invited the imperial court ministers and ministers to discuss matters in his mansion.

  This memorial was played by Zhu Yujian.

The content is to hope that the court will beware of any ministers who explicitly suggest that the court cut expenditures and solve redundant troops, redundant staff, and redundant expenses. It seems to be out of public interest, but in fact it is secretly intended to restrict the development of government-run industries and suppress the upcoming steam industry in the world. The profits, such as railway operations, mineral mining, and ocean trade, were turned into private property divided between the powerful and bureaucrats.

  If not, Tianqi suddenly set up the secret music system under Zhang Gui’s suggestion.

  Zhu Yujian still didn’t dare to go to this lecture, because the first participant who brought this matter up to him was Zhu Changhao, King Rui Wang of the clan and vassal of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Yujian, who is also a child of the clan, does not want to directly expose Zhu Changhao’s intention to seize the imperial power, so that the clan and vassals of the world can’t lift their heads again in front of the people of the world, and lose face. He also doesn’t want to offend the entire clan. It is his class.

  But Zhu Yujian is a descendant of the clan who cares more about the interests of the country and the nation. He also clearly realizes that if some bureaucrats with ulterior motives and traitors seem to be loyal in the court to achieve their goals, it will endanger the entire society and the future of Ming Dynasty.

  So, Zhu Yujian also wanted to tell the court what he heard.

   Fortunately, now that there is a system of secret performances, Zhu Yujian played the matter in the form of secret performances, but did not mention Zhu Changhao, only said that there was such a possibility, and he also heard about this possibility.

After Zhang Gui saw Zhu Yujian’s memorial, he first obliterated Zhu Yujian’s name and surname, and then re-copied the ink version before taking it out and showing it to the court ministers and ministers. And said: “Let’s take a look at this secret performance, and then tell us your views?”

   After reading the memorial, Cheng Jiming stood up straight away: “Who wrote this in secret! This is clearly malicious speculation!”
