Zhu Youruan had a strange impression on Yang Tinghe. This thirty-year-old vassal king did not show too much unfathomability, but he gave people a sense of shrewdness.
Zhu Youruan was very kind to Yang Tinghe. After the two sat down, they exchanged a few words. Yang Tinghe said: "In accordance with the decree of the Queen Mother, I came here to welcome His Highness to the capital. Your Highness, the capital is in chaos now. Why does Your Highness stay in Tongzhou while Ling is looking forward to it?" Are the officials and people disappointed?"
Zhu Youruan said with a smile: "I am tired, so I am just taking a rest here. Besides, even if I enter the capital, it may not be of any importance. If there are more capitals in the capital, it will not be more for me, and if there are fewer, it will be less. Mr. Yang¡¯s words are too strong.¡±
Zhu Youruan speaks easily, and today he is wearing a very loose Taoist uniform, which gives him a somewhat casual attitude of Xian Yun Yehe.
But what he said was a different story to Yang Tinghe. One more is not more, one less is not more. How could the dignified regent be irrelevant?
unless¡¡
Yang Tinghe understood that Zhu Youruan wanted to raise the issue of treatment with him.
Since he is the regent, should he still be treated like a vassal king? This is not possible, as the saying goes, if the name is not correct, the words will not be correct. It is not possible to command the world with the title of a vassal king. It is inevitable to be despised.
Since you are acting on behalf of the emperor, you must act as if you are acting on behalf of the emperor.
Yang Tinghe hurriedly said: "Your Highness is very important. He handles the national weapons on behalf of the emperor. The honor and disgrace of the world are tied to one body. Isn't it irrelevant? Does your Highness have a misunderstanding?"
Zhu Youruan smiled like a spring breeze.
As a vassal king, his temperament is very easy-going, at least on the surface, but he will never be soft when it comes to fighting for his own interests. This is not a friendship issue or a face issue, but a political issue. .
The so-called political issue, the most important thing is to first erect an archway to cover your shame, and then show your special identity, so that you can exercise your rights.
Zhu Youruan is not stupid. He will not enter Beijing unless his treatment is resolved.
"So, I am no longer the vassal king? This is strange. I am not the vassal king, so what is it? There is a precedent for a regent in the Ming Dynasty, but the end is not very good. Do you want me to imitate King Yin?"
King Yingzong was the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Because Yingzong was captured, he was first regent and then proclaimed emperor. However, when Yingzong returned to the capital, he seized the throne through a coup. In this way, the deposed emperor seemed a little embarrassed.
Among the regents, there is only such a role model as Prince Yin. Yang Tinghe hurriedly said: "Your Highness is serious in his words. Your Majesty is not the Yingzong, so naturally His Highness is not King Yin."
This is to tell Zhu Youruan that he can't just apply it mechanically. He can't veto all regents just because there is a king.
Zhu Youruan frowned and said slowly: "Then since he is not King Yin, nor is he a vassal king, I am even more confused. What on earth am I?"
The dignified King Anlu is very distressed about his identity. Of course, his distress is fake, because it is just a foreshadowing. People like him always like to talk in roundabout ways. He must test it first and let people not misinterpret it. Oneself, and at the same time erecting a memorial arch, this is the art of speaking to the nobles.
However, Zhu Yang Tinghe couldn't go around. He came here on orders and had business to do. How could he have so much free time? So he solemnly said: "If your highness has any request, you can put it forward. I will send you my official letter." Just try your best to comply.¡±
Zhu You Ruan smiled and said: "I'm afraid you can't make the decision."
Yang Tinghe¡¯s face became serious and he said: ¡°I am willing to fight for it with His Highness.¡±
Speaking of this, Yang Tinghe finally revealed his thoughts. To put it bluntly, Yang Tinghe was on his side, Zhu Youruan.
Zhu Youruan smiled slightly and said: "Okay, if that's the case, then I won't make any detours. I want to ask you, after I enter the capital, will I have a place to stay?"
Yang Tinghe was stunned for a moment, and then said: "There is a place over there against Dong'an Gate"
Zhu Youruan shook his head and sneered, saying: "The vassal princes all live in the palace, can it be that I, the regent, can only live in a house near the Forbidden City?"
This sentence makes sense, but it doesn't make sense. One of the biggest problems is that Zhu Youruan is not the emperor. He is not the emperor, and there are so many concubines in the harem. Naturally, it is not appropriate for him to live in the Forbidden City. This would be embarrassing. There is no special regent's palace in the capital, and we can't live in the palace, so where else can we live?
Zhu Youruan obviously had his own idea. He sighed and said: "There is a place that I think is good."?Isn¡¯t it always deserted in the East Palace? I will give in and live in the East Palace. Your Excellency, you can discuss it with the Queen Mother immediately and order someone to clean the East Palace. How about that? "
East Palace
The East Palace has more symbolic significance. Those who live in it are all princes. If Zhu Youruan lives in it, is he also equivalent to a prince?
Yang Tinghe hesitated for a moment and smiled bitterly in his heart. He originally thought that the person he invited was a Bodhisattva, but he turned out to be a carefree person. The former is easy to fool, while the latter will never let go without seeing real money.
However, the conditions put forward by Zhu Youruan are not unreasonable. He has come all the way here to be the regent. How can he live in an ordinary house? If you can't live in the Forbidden City, there is only the East Palace. Moreover, the regent will ascend the throne sooner or later, so there seems to be nothing wrong with it. Appropriate.
In fact, at other times, Yang Tinghe would never compromise. It is not a matter of status. It is also a political issue. On the surface, politics is about status, but in fact it is about interests. But now he can only deal with special matters: " I will definitely send someone to clarify this matter with the Queen Mother."
Zhu Youruan smiled and said: "Excellent, yes, there is one more thing, I don't know what to do."
besides¡¡
Yang Tinghe smiled bitterly and said, "Your Highness, it doesn't matter if you say so."
Zhu Youruan said: "Since you want to enter the East Palace, it stands to reason that you must first enter the palace to see Empress Dowager Zhang. I am the regent. Which gate should I go through? If I go through the Meridian Gate, it seems inappropriate. Is the regent a minister? In my opinion, it is more appropriate to go through the Daming Gate."
Daming Gate
Yang Tinghe has a headache.
Not everyone can enter the Daming Gate. Generally, only the Queen Mother, the Emperor, and the Empress are eligible to enter and exit. Only when these people travel, will this door be opened. Zhu Youruan made this request directly. He really didn't take himself seriously. Meaning of outsiders.
Yang Tinghe had no choice but to say: "I will definitely fight for my reasons."
Zhu Youruan was satisfied. After the status issue was resolved, he frowned and started to get to the point.
"When I came here, I discovered a strange phenomenon."
"Please give me your instructions, Your Highness."
Zhu You Ruan Zhengse said: "There seems to be someone following this road. Could it be that there are factory guards who are inquiring about my movements?"
Yang Tinghe became nervous and said, "What do you mean, Your Highness?"
Zhu Youruan sneered and said: "I heard that the factory guards are all in the hands of Zhang Yong. Zhang Yong was left behind by His Majesty. I didn't want to say anything at first, but a slave actually dared to spy on me. Whereabouts, is this treason?"
Yang Tinghe said: "If this really happens, the court must deal with it seriously."
Zhu Youruan looked at Yang Tinghe with a smile but not a smile. The meaning in his eyes was clearly, old man, please don¡¯t fool me. Is the imperial court still in charge of the affairs in the palace? The factory guards who can still take care of it, and any serious treatment are just words of comfort.
Zhu Youruan said: "A slave does not have such courage. According to my opinion, there must be an evil person behind this slave. Mr. Yang, to be honest, I always feel a little relieved during this trip." No less, if someone wants to imitate Wang Mang and Cao Cao, won¡¯t I, the king, die without a burial place?¡±
Yang Tinghe couldn't help but said: "To be honest, there are indeed people in the DPRK who are extremely powerful and bold."
Zhu Youruan smiled: "Are you talking about the King of Chu?"
Yang Tinghe said: "I dare not say anything."
"That's him." Zhu Youruan stretched out and said easily: "King Chu is a man with great ambitions. Look at him as a vassal king, but he still hasn't returned to his vassal town. What's his intention? It¡¯s obvious. That¡¯s why I haven¡¯t been able to enter the capital for so long.¡±
Yang Tinghe is anxious. He invited you here because of the danger. What's going on when you get here and say you can't get in? Then why are you asked to come? If there was no King of Chu, military and political affairs would be settled by the cabinet.
But he couldn't say these words. After thinking about it, he said, "Could it be that His Highness already has a solution?"
Zhu Youruan smiled and said: "There is a way, but it can only treat the symptoms and not the root cause. Let's do the surgery on Zhang Yong first. Can I issue the royal order of the regent now?"
Yang Tinghe said: "Of course you can."
Zhu Youruan's face became serious and he said coldly: "Then you immediately go to the capital with my king's orders and ask my king's eunuch Hu Fang to go with you. Let Hu Fang take over Zhang Yong. Where is Zhang Yong? The emperor is now How can it be that he, the emperor's closest servant, is still having fun in the palace? Send him out of the capital to look for the emperor. Also, in case of an unexpected incident, immediately take the king's order and station all troops in the capital.King Qin's troops and horses from the area quickly entered the city, and all the gates of each city were defended by troops and horses from various places. As for the Queen Mother, she needs to explain and tell the Queen Mother that this is to prevent chaos and chaos from colluding when the Emperor is away. Well, that's all I want to say. What do you think, Mr. Yang? "
What he said made Yang Tinghe look at him with admiration. The purpose of punishing Zhang Yong was to beat someone and let the outside troops enter the capital. It was to threaten someone. This prince had not yet entered the capital, but he already knew the capital well and did what he did. After corresponding countermeasures were taken, Yang Tinghe couldn't help but look up to the prince from Anlu.
