Chapter 284: The minister asks His Majesty to save the money!

"His Majesty."

Zhang Qu bent down and respectfully bowed to Emperor Chengde.

Their prime ministers from the three provinces, who were old, had long been exempted from kneeling, especially the Haoran Gong, who was the most prestigious in the court, had no need to kneel down to the emperor a long time ago.

Emperor Chengde held the warmer and smiled, "Chen Ju, bring a stool for Zhang Xiang."

Zhang Qu bowed to thank him and sat down carefully.

After he sat down, the emperor coughed and said with a smile: "I want to hide for a few days and be quiet. After that, what mistake did my prince make? Let Xiang Zhang come to me personally to complain?"

Zhang Qu sat on the stool and lowered his head and said, "The old minister dare not discuss the right and wrong of the prince. The old minister is here to ask Your Majesty to pay attention to the government affairs..."

The emperor lowered his head and took care of his clothes, and smiled and said, "It seems that the prince has annoyed my Haoran Gong. Why, my son is so unusable. What big mistake did he make in just seven days?"

Zhang Qu shook his head and said, "It's not that the prince is not worthy of use. His Highness has no experience in governing the court. The old minister begs His Majesty to pay attention to the government affairs. At least, let the prince observe the government affairs at the Shangshutai for more than half a year. The prince may be able to manage the government affairs for His Majesty..."

Generally speaking, the process of the imperial court training the crown prince should be to let the crown prince intern in the six ministries for a period of time, and then let the crown prince enter the central government to observe politics for a period of time, so that a crown prince can be cultivated. Like His Royal Highness, he will directly enthrone the crown prince and hold the seal to the palace. No matter who comes, he will be at a loss.

During the reign of Emperor Wu, when Emperor Chengde was the crown prince, he was also a "apprentice" in various yamen in the court for a long time. In the end, Emperor Wu taught him step by step for a while, and finally he naturally ascended the throne and became the current holy emperor.

Emperor Chengde was regarded as an emperor who was "professional".

One of the reasons for this is that the late emperor's murder was too serious, and many of his sons died prematurely, leaving only Emperor Chengde, with no competitors.

"Half a year..."

The emperor lowered his head a little sadly: "I'm afraid I can't wait for half a year."

"Zhang Xiang knows me a little bit, and I am quite calm. If it weren't for the sudden incident, how could I let the prince go to the palace with the seal?"

Zhang Qu was shocked and looked up at Emperor Chengde.

"Your Majesty... Is Your Majesty's body so severely?"

The emperor did not answer this question directly, but narrowed his eyes: "Zhang Xiang is an old minister of the former emperor's dynasty. I remember that you started in charge of the Shangshutai in the 12th year of Chengde, and now you have been the prime minister for six years."

"During this period, Zhang Xiang also wrote letters many times, asking me to establish the Eastern Palace..."

Speaking of this, the emperor coughed and his breathing was a little rapid: "Zhang Xiang felt that if I hadn't had too much time, would I be anxious to become a crown prince?"

Zhang Qu looked slightly mournful, lowered his head, and gritted his teeth: "Your Majesty is a rare saint since the founding of the Jin Dynasty. Those thieves who assassinated Your Majesty... they deserve to die!"

"Zhang Xiang doesn't talk nonsense."

Emperor Chengde treats people with a gentle temperament on weekdays. He often smiles when facing his ministers, but his face becomes rarely serious at this time.

"The last emperor is the saint of my great Jin Dynasty. I have just inherited the legacy of the late emperor and barely made a little look."

It is unquestionable that Emperor Wu was the emperor with the highest achievements since the founding of the Great Jin Dynasty.

Zhang Qu lowered his head slightly: "It's my fault."

The emperor put down the hand warmer in his hand, retracted his hands into his sleeves, and coughed: "What did the prince do wrong?"

Zhang Qu lowered his head, told the story of the Censorate and Dali Temple, and finally sighed slowly.

"Your Majesty, there are many students gathered in Dali Temple now, which is very difficult. Whether it is Jingzhao Mansion or Jinwu Guard, it is difficult to interfere in driving people. Now the reputation of His Royal Highness of the Crown Prince has been damaged. If you forcefully drive people away, it may damage the reputation of the Crown Prince again."

After hearing this, the emperor closed his eyes and thought for a while, and finally opened his eyes slowly.

"Was that Wang Anmin died in the Dali Temple prison?"

Zhang Qu lowered his head and said, "I heard that it was... he was beaten seriously injured and unconscious in the Dali Temple prison. After being taken home by his family, he was seriously injured and died..."

"What kind of serious injuries cannot be cured?"

The emperor sneered: "The prince is really incompetent. Such a child's trick can also make him trapped!"

"Chen Ju."

The eunuch stepped forward and bent down: "I'm here."

"Go and check how this censor Wang Anmin died. After finding out, find out how to shut up the Wang family."

Chen Ju lowered his head and said, "I'll do it now."

The emperor suddenly waved, "Wait..."

His Majesty the emperor closed his eyes, thought for a while, and said, "Forget it, the people from Tianmujian should not go. Give me a note to the Yulinwei and ask the people from the Yulinwei Right Camp to rush to Dali Temple immediately to disperse the unlucky people surrounding Dali Temple! How can Dali Temple be controlled by the rules and regulations? How can it be if they are surrounded like this?"

In fact, the one responsible for maintaining order in the capital should be the Jinwu Guard. The Jinwu Guard divides the capital into blocks, and each block has its own street patrol, which can be understood as a public security brigade.

Originally, the work of dispersing the crowd should have been left to the Jinwu Guard to do, but Emperor Chengde named the Yulin Guard Right Camp, so naturally this matter would fall on Li Xin's head.

Chen Ju still bowed respectfully: "Old slave obeys the order."

After Chen Ju retreated, the emperor turned his head and smiled helplessly at Haoran Gong, who had a fair hair, and said, "The sons were naughty, and Zhang Xiangjian laughed."

Zhang Qu sighed slightly in his heart.

The court and the country caused such a big storm, and brought the life of a censor. When he arrived at Emperor Chengde, he used the word "naughty" and gently exposed it.

The Haoran Gong lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, Your Highness, the Crown Prince, is a little immature now. The old minister must be the one who comes back to the court and takes the Crown Prince for a while..."

“Even if it’s one or two months…”

The smile on the emperor's face was calm and he said calmly: "Zhang Xiang, I am injured."

"I want to stay in peace and live for a few more days, don't you allow me?"

When it comes to the life of the emperor, Haoran Gong couldn't calm down. He stood up from the wooden pier and knelt down respectfully.

"The old minister dare not, I sincerely hope that Your Majesty will live forever..."

The emperor sighed slowly.

"Zhang Xiang doesn't need to be like this, get up and talk."

Zhang Qu was still kneeling on the ground, his body trembling slightly.

"The old minister has a heartfelt word, and I want to tell you to your Majesty."

Emperor Chengde frowned slightly: "You said."

The prime minister, who had been in charge of the central center for more than six years, kowtowed to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty is sick... If you don't want to come to the court, you will naturally not dare to work as a minister. The old minister begs... Your Majesty to establish another crown prince!"

The emperor looked at Zuo Pushe, who was kneeling on the ground expressionlessly.

"Since Prince Zhang is not satisfied, who should I establish according to Zhang Xiang's intention?"

Zhang Qu knelt on the ground and said respectfully: "The old minister has no selfishness in saying this. As for whom he is the crown prince, it all depends on His Majesty's wishes..."

The emperor smiled: "Zhang Xiang means that as long as it is not the current crown prince, right?"

"The old minister dares not..."

"You already dare!"

The emperor's voice became stern: "I have only been appointed as the crown prince for only eight days. You want me to depose the crown prince. Then just Zhang Xiang, you recommend a crown prince. I will fulfill your wishes!"

Zhang Qu knelt on the ground, trembling.
