At this time, a eunuch came to Xie Jin's side and said, "Your Majesty, please visit Wulou."

Xie Jin calmed down his mood, regained his calm expression, and said politely: "Please lead the way, father-in-law."

Then go to Wu Tower.

I saw Zhu Di already sitting here.

Several other bachelors from Wenyuan Pavilion have already arrived. In addition, there are also Hu Yan, the imperial wine minister at the forefront of the storm, as well as ministers and ministers from various ministries.

After Zhu Di glanced at everyone, he said, "Why didn't Master Yao enter the court today?"

At this time, Zhao Wan, the minister of etiquette, stood up and saluted: "Your Majesty, Mr. Yao is feeling a little unwell today and has asked for leave."

Zhao Feng was a practical man. He had served as a local official, suppressed bandits, and served as an envoy to Annan, so he was highly appreciated by Zhu Di.

If in the past, Zhu Di would have been worried when he heard that Yao Guangxiao was ill, and would have sent someone to visit him, or even visited him in person.

But this time, when Zhu Di heard these words, he was indifferent. He only said in his heart that Yao Guangxiao would get sick as long as there was a dispute in the court.

Zhu Di sighed in his heart, but when he thought about it carefully, Yao Guangxiao had a very good sense of proportion.

He avoided pure controversies like this, but if it really involved the national economy and people's livelihood, Yao Guangxiao would appear by Zhu Di's side in a timely manner no matter what his health was.

Zhu Di nodded and said, "Give me some medicine."

Immediately, Zhu Di said: "What do you think of what the officials discussed today?"

Ministers, look at me and I will look at you.

When hundreds of officials are discussing, people in high positions usually remain silent. Only small gatherings like this behind closed doors are the time for everyone to express their stance.

Yang Rong thought for a while, then stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, this matter is extremely controversial, especially among scholars. I think... Zhang Anshi wanted to avoid suspicion and submitted a letter to resign. There is nothing wrong with this.

It is useless to discuss right and wrong. It is better to go with the flow and approve Zhang Anshi's resignation and give him a military post so that he can serve His Majesty."

Zhu Di nodded. Yang Rong's words seemed to be incoherent, but Zhu Di knew that this was obviously Zhang Anshi's intention, and it was also the most understandable course of action at the moment.

Zhu Di immediately said: "What I can't bear is for the ministers to criticize Zhang Anshi. It is clear that he has made outstanding achievements during his tenure. How can you be so jealous?"

All the ministers remained silent.

Zhu Di looked at Jie Jin and said, "Qing Jie is the head of the officials. Don't you have anything to say?"

Xie Jin stood up slowly and said: "Your Majesty, I am definitely not jealous of talents, but... I think... if our Ming Dynasty wants to have long-term peace and stability, everyone must settle down in his own place. Emperor Taizu Gao divided the people of the world into military households.

The same principle applies to civilian households and craftsmen households. Everyone has a different background and should stick to their own duties."

After a pause, Xie Jin continued: "Just like Zhang Anshi, he is a relative, and his father was a military attache in Beiping Prefecture. Your Majesty cherishes him, so he should be content with his military position, or appoint him to specialize in sacrifices, or be responsible for supervising the construction of the mausoleum.

, Zhang Anshi is certainly talented, but after all, his understanding of stereotypes does not originate from the original intention of the saint, and is quite opportunistic. Of course, this is enough to shock the world and make people marvel. "

Xie Jin's words were indeed powerful. He directly moved Emperor Taizu Gao out.

This is definitely very convincing for Zhu Di, who has always regarded safeguarding the laws of his ancestors as his own duty.

Xie Jin added: "I heard that if the monarch favors a person, he will never put him in an inappropriate position, but let him use his talents in a suitable position. This is the protection of people.

Your Majesty is far-sighted and should be able to understand your minister’s good intentions.”

Zhu Di had a sullen face and stared at Jie Jin.

However, Zhu Di found that he really couldn't find the right words to refute other than to fuck your mother.

He only saw Jin and said: "What's more, His Majesty has ordered Zhang Anshi to guard Qixia Ferry. This is Zhang Anshi's duty, but Zhang Anshi did not put his mind on it. Isn't this putting the cart before the horse? I have here... a memorial."

"

"Memorial?"

Xie Jin said: "Chen Zuo, the magistrate of Shangyuan County, said that many gentry in Shangyuan County had suffered greatly from Zhang Anshi, and they did not hesitate to go to the Yamen to beat drums and complain about their injustice. They said that Zhang Anshi killed innocent people indiscriminately at Qixia Ferry and insulted the people.

Since Zhang Anshi suppressed Qixia, people's livelihood has declined, and no one dares to speak out. Even the people in the surrounding Shangyuan County have also suffered unreasonable disasters, and everyone is complaining."

"I have here ninety-three lawsuits filed by Shangyuan County people. However, Zhang Anshi is deeply favored by the Holy Spirit, favored by His Majesty, and is a relative of the country. Therefore, although it is a lawsuit, the Shangyuan County Magistrate is determined to make decisions for the people.

There is nothing we can do. Your Majesty, the people are the foundation of the country and the pillars of the country. From Emperor Taizu to your Majesty, everyone loves the people like their sons and nephews. What happened at Qixia Ferry today... I... As the chief minister, it is difficult for me to do so.

If you give up the blame, you will die."

Zhu Di looked strange after hearing this. He seemed to remember the words he heard from passers-by in the tea shop last time.

Zhu Di said: "When will Shangyuan County Magistrate report?"

"The end of last month."

"Why are you reporting now?"

Xie Jin said: "Zhang Anshi...Zhang Anshi is a relative of the state after all. I can only give private instructions to the magistrate of Shangyuan County to appease the people in the county. I really don't dare to report it and attract criticism."

Zhu Di paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, but said: "The magistrate of Shangyuan County may not be telling the truth."

Xie Jin said: "The magistrate of Shangyuan County has an excellent reputation. The Shangyuan County he governs is a Jing County. Since he took office, the people have lived and worked in peace and contentment. I have never heard of any criticism. Your Majesty, don't you even believe in such an upright person?"

?”

Zhu Di immediately turned his attention to Xia Yuanji, the Minister of Household Affairs.

This Xia Yuanji is an upright person, and Zhu Di trusts him, so he asked: "Does Xia Qing's family have any impression of this person?"

Xia Yuanji said: "I don't know."

Zhu Di: "..."

Zhu Di pondered, and then said: "I understand. Zhang Anshi should temporarily remove his position as a doctor. This is also his intention. Other matters should be discussed in the long term."

Xie Jin and others bowed and dispersed one by one.

Zhu Di lowered his head, sat upright, and remained silent for a long time.

Yi Shiha whispered: "Your Majesty, do you want the Jinyi Guards to..."

Zhu Di glanced at him and said calmly: "What if we really find out something?"

He was also shocked and immediately understood something.

Zhu Di said: "After all, you are too young. Young people are so energetic that they don't know the importance..."

Yishuhagan said with a smile: "Your Majesty said that after two years, we get married and have a baby, it will be fine."

Zhu Di put his hand on the imperial case: "That's right. It's rare that there are still people in this world who care about his marriage. This time he has worked hard and earned a lot... No, the professor has a good disciple. Should I strike while the iron is hot and give him a gift?"

Let’s see how he can hide from his marriage.”

After saying that, Zhu Di smiled.

Not urgent……

"I'm not in a hurry anyway. I'll see if Xu Huizu is in a hurry. I'll ask him to beg me."

As he spoke, the boredom he had just felt dissipated a lot, and Zhu Di looked leisurely and contented, thinking about how his uncle would be controlled by him.

…

At the end of the year, the weather gets colder.

The Yangtze River is rolling and rushing down.

At this time, a awning boat looked particularly eye-catching.

It's not that this ship is outstanding. In fact, most of the ships on the river are flying black flags. This ship is the only one that does not fly any flags.

The ship arrived at Qixia Ferry.

Immediately, a monk came down wearing monk's robes. On his left and right, there were several strong men standing guard with arms folded.

This monk is the famous Yao Guangxiao.

Yao Guangxiao now lives in a temple. He wears official uniforms when he goes to court and only monks' clothes on weekdays. He has been "sick" for a long time. Since the official announcement, Yao Guangxiao immediately started to fall ill. Even now, he has not recovered.

However, he seemed to know that the emperor knew about his temperament, and he did not deliberately hide on the bed and complain all day long. Instead, he visited relatives and friends everywhere and expressed his affection in the mountains and forests.

Today he arrived at the ferry. After landing at the pier, he prepared to go all the way to Qixia Temple.

Qixia Temple is still some distance away from the ferry, and the abbot of Qixia Temple has some friendship with him. Today, he took this opportunity to visit and consult with each other.

"Sir, the carriage and horses are ready, but it will probably take more than an hour to go up the mountain. Sir, you might as well rest nearby and then climb up to the temple later."

Yao Guangxiao listened to the guard's words and said with a smile: "This is the most appropriate."

After that, he looked around and said: "It has been a year since the poor monk came to Qixia Ferry, and the dock here... is much more lively than before."

Yao Guangxiao got off the pier and saw many laborers dragging stones in the cold winter. He also saw many shops in the distance.

He suddenly seemed a little unfamiliar with this place.

He couldn't help but said: "Is this Qixia Ferry?"

The guard said: "It's Qixia Ferry, it's correct."

With that said, he arranged for Yao Guangxiao to go to an inn and teach the innkeeper how to prepare vegetarian food.

Another guard pulled the waiter aside and whispered: "My master is not an ordinary person. He is an outsider. He is not good at meat. Later...if any diners eat meat, teach them to stay away."

Some."
