Chapter 121
Zhu Houzhao stepped forward a few steps and stood beside Tang Bohu, "Tang Bohu, help me think of a solution! How can I get my father to promise me to follow you to play in the grassland?"
"Your Highness the Crown Prince! Actually, there is nothing fun in the grassland, and nothing is good at looking at it." Tang Bohu persuaded, and Liu Jin, who was on the side, nodded in cooperation.
"Is there something to eat!" Zhu Houzhao said: "It was you who said it! Fresh kebabs! I will go to it alone, so I must taste its deliciousness!"
Tang Bohu slapped himself hard in the heart, and ended up being a mean mouth.
Zhu Houzhao touched her mouth and said, "I'm tired of eating chicken these days, and I'm tired of eating tea eggs..."
"Your Highness the Crown Prince!" Tang Bohu persuaded painstakingly: "I really can't help you in this matter!"
"What should I do!" Zhu Houzhao was furious and looked disappointed!
Worried in his heart, Tang Bohu spoke, "Actually, there is still a way. The prince's imperial guards go to the grassland! If all the officials in the court try their best to make this happen, I believe your Majesty will agree!"
The Ming Dynasty was very distinctive, with the power of the monarch and the power of the ministers checked and balanced each other! The court was not the emperor's one-man rule, and the unique cabinet system balanced the power of the monarch and the power of the ministers to a certain extent. In addition to the emperor's nod, there were also cabinet drafting and similar voting actions. This also allowed the Ming emperor to have ministers to govern the world even if he did not attend court for a few years, such as Wanli... Of course, this also depends on the character of the cabinet ministers. The Ming Dynasty advocated the co-governance of the monarch and his subjects, which has gradually moved towards democratization.
The military capabilities and ability to govern the country in the Ming Dynasty were actually not bad. The fundamental reason for the real decline of the Ming Dynasty was still bad! It gave the big braids on the grassland an opportunity to take advantage of.
"Oh?" Zhu Houzhao felt spirited, "What's the charter!"
Tang Bohu thought about it and said, "For example, let Eunuch Liu hold a handful of three-foot Qingfeng in the middle of the night, and then at the doorsteps of the ministers in the capital..."
"Use a knife to hold their necks and let them agree!" Zhu Houzhao continued.
"Wrong!" Tang Bohu waved his hand and said, "Let Eunuch Liu put the knife on his neck and force him to death! If they disagree, they will die at his doorstep in the middle of the night!"
"What a vicious way." Zhu Houzhao nodded.
"Why is our family?" Liu Jin felt aggrieved.
"What if they still don't agree!" Gu Dayong, the little eunuch of the East Palace who was following Zhu Houzhao, continued.
"Okay, Gu Dayong, do you really want our family to die in the middle of the night, right?" Liu Jin jumped anxiously.
Tang Bohu continued: "If this trick doesn't work, then send a few more eunuchs to death at their doorstep. At dawn the next day, dozens of eunuchs were neatly hitting their doorsteps. That scene...it's amazing to think about it."
Liu Jin's face was bitter, "Don't make trouble by Lord Tang."
"I also think this method is not very good." Zhu Houzhao touched her nose obediently.
Tang Bohu continued: "There is a saying that the king wants his minister to die, but he has to die! The king's order is hard to disobey. Your Highness is just waiting for the morning court tomorrow. Your Majesty will definitely let His Highness go to war with you!"
"I knew you had a solution!" Zhu Houzhao punched Tang Bohu in the chest, "I have read that right."
Zhu Houzhao left with anticipation, and Tang Bohu called Tian San, "I have something to do."
"I will follow the instructions of my lord!" Tian San received the order.
That night, the Jinyiwei dispatched again. The army of hundreds of Jinyiwei was surging everywhere in the capital. A letter appeared inexplicably at the homes of some officials in Beijing. The content contained many of their unconditional behaviors over the years, and used this as a threat. If the prince cannot go to war tomorrow, these crimes will appear on the desks of the Silijian and the current Emperor Hongzhi, threatening! A naked threat!
But nowadays, civil servants care about their reputation, and many people cursed in their hearts! But they quickly destroyed the secret letter. Without thinking, they knew it was Tang Bohu's work. It was obvious that Tang Bohu had increased the psychological shadow area of the inner heart of the civil servants of Daming.
The second day...
In the morning, Tang Bohu bid farewell to his parents and sister and put on a Jinyiwei uniform and went out of Liaodong. Yang Yiqing was already waiting for Tang Bohu's Jinyiwei army outside the north gate of the capital. Niu Er brought a large group of orphan soldiers! They have been receiving various physical training these days. These young men will sooner or later go to the battlefield in Tang Bohu's heart. Seeing blood in advance will be beneficial to their future.
Wen Zheng looked at the stern Jinyiwei team and also looked at Tang Bohu, "The powerless Tang Bohu in Jiangnan has now become the Jinyiwei! I always thought you could be inferior to the officialdom, but I didn't expect you to become the Jinyiwei. Do you still remember what Zhang Lin, the prefect of Suhang?"
Tang Bohu nodded, "He said he hoped that Tang Bohu would be a civil servant in the future. I didn't agree with it at the beginning. He seemed to say that if I couldn't become a civil servant, I would definitely become an enemy of the civil servant group!"
Thinking about himself now, Tang Bohu has to admire Zhang Lin's foresight. Without surprise, he became the Jinyiwei. If he failed to become a civil servant, he has become the target of criticism by many civil servants.
Zhu Zhishan, who came with Wen Zhengming, stood beside Tang Bohu, "Brother Tang! Take me with me! I also want to go to the grassland to see!"
"There is a lot of chaos in Liaodong now!" Tang Bohu rode on his horse and looked at the direction outside the gate of the capital. "I don't know what the situation is now. What is going to happen? How can I explain it to your old father in your family?"
"I just want to see the scenery and walk two times, and I also want to go and see an old friend!" Zhu Zhishan said something a little concealed.
Tang Bohu nodded, "Then you just follow me, but you must follow me so that I can take care of your safety."
"Okay!" Zhu Zhishan nodded.
Tang Bohu then rode his horse and said goodbye to Tangzhuang. After walking a few miles outside Tangzhuang, he saw a very familiar figure.
"That...that's not!" Zhu Zhishan shouted in shock: "Xu Zhenqing!"
The boy in the distance turned around when he heard the shouts, and it turned out to be a very familiar and long-lost face! Xu Zhenqing, who had not seen him for several years, was in the middle of the road.
Tang Bohu got off his horse and walked forward, "I haven't seen you for a few years. Where have you been these years?"
"That's it!" said Xu Zhenqing, the lazy pig in front of Zhu Zhishan, on the shoulders: "You have been born and have no place to mess around all these years. The four talents in Jiangnan who have agreed to be the only one of you! Now, the four of us are finally together!"
Xu Zhenqing smiled and said, "I have traveled all the way with my father at home over the years, seen many scenery and met many people! I have only arrived in the capital in recent days."
Tang Bohu looked at Xu Zhenqing, and he saw that the other party had not changed for several years and had a little sharper look in his eyes.
