When Xia Yunyi arrived at the apartment where Chongzhen was staying, he happened to see Zhu Yousong walking out dejectedly.
Zhu Yousong was fat and had difficulty walking. He was supported by two young eunuchs. Seeing Xia Yunyi, he curled his lips and said in a weird voice: "Xia Qing, are you here to see me or the emperor?" ?¡±
"Of course I want to see the emperor."
Xia Yunyi looked cold, obviously trying to deal with him.
"It's a pity that the emperor, like me, is no longer the emperor. In four days, only four days, Yu Guozhen will be the emperor of the new dynasty. Will you go to accompany the emperor or worship the new emperor?"
"Prince Fu is joking, I am a minister of Ming Dynasty, and I will never hold another official position in my life."
"Ha ha!"
Zhu Yousong laughed twice, and then got into the car. As the driver pedaled hard, he gradually lost himself in the crowd.
Just like any passerby.
"Sir, go in." Seeing his father looking at the car in a daze, Xia Wanchun urged. He had no interest in Prince Fu who only knew how to use his abilities on women.
"I think King Fu will never appear again. I heard Yu Jimin is going to move him to Dayuan for resettlement."
"Senior officer?"
"Well, King Fu is different from His Majesty. Your Majesty has seen through it all, but King Fu may not have seen it through. Yu Jimin doesn't want to bear the same infamy as Zhao Guangyi, so he can only keep him away from those moths."
Speaking of this, Xia Yunyi patted his son on the shoulder: "If His Majesty had not arrived, the news of Yu Jimin's placement of Prince Fu would definitely arouse the backlash of those moths, and perhaps those moths would try to coerce Prince Fu to start another uprising. But His Majesty arrived in Jinling. Those moths would The moth's first choice is still His Majesty. After all, if the Ming Dynasty is restored, the most justifiable one is Your Majesty."
"In this case, wouldn't Your Majesty wouldn't it be dangerous?"
"I heard that Princess Kunxing became a monk." Xia Yunyi sighed softly: "I heard that she worshiped under the Taoist priest Guiquanzi and became senior sisters with Song Siyi and others."
"But the newspaper said that she also followed His Majesty to Jinlingah, unexpectedly, unexpectedlyYu Jimin is so brave!"
"Yu Jimin was not very courageous. He wouldn't be here today. If he hadn't been lustful, he wouldn't have been nicknamed the most romantic man by the Qinhuai River However, compared to King Fu, Yu Jimin is extremely self-disciplined. Apart from really liking him Yes, I never see him being affectionate."
Xia Wanchun was a little stunned. He remembered Princess Kunxing's appearance, but he didn't expect it. For the sake of his relationship with Yu Guozhen. Kunxing actually became a "monk".
In this case, it is no wonder that Yu Guozhen and Chongzhen trust each other.
After all, Xia Wanchun still didn¡¯t understand Yu Guozhen well enough. Even without Kunxing, Yu Guozhen would have trusted Chongzhen, or in other words, he would have trusted his ¡°brainwashing¡± of Chongzhen for ten years.
Chongzhen was very happy to see the Xia family and his son. He summoned Shen Youlong and others who came with him, and asked people to prepare a banquet. The Xia family and his son must be left to eat. After the greetings were over, he looked at Xia Wanchun and said, "Mr. Xiao Xia"
"I am terrified. Your Majesty, just call me by my first name."
Chongzhen laughed and said: "There are no monarchs and ministers now. Even if Yu Jimin ascends the throne and becomes emperor, there will be no monarchs or ministers."
This sentence contains profound meaning. Xia Yunyi was surprised and saw everyone was surprised. Chongzhen stroked his beard and said: "Yu Jimin thought that there was no emperor before the Qin Dynasty, and there were no kings before the Xia Qi. Although Yao and Shun were called the Mingjuns of the ages, they did not become kings. . Therefore, now he has inherited the title of emperor and inherited it hereditary, but it is just a title"
"How do you say this?" Xia Yunyi said in shock.
Chongzhen didn¡¯t say any more. In fact, Chongzhen himself didn¡¯t quite understand Yu Guozhen¡¯s plan. Yu Guozhen's words meant that although his descendants would inherit the title of emperor, they might not always have the power of the current emperor - this made Chongzhen find it incredible.
If the emperor loses his power, wouldn¡¯t he be just a puppet? Just like him now, Yu Guozhen still calls him "Your Majesty" when he sees him, but he has no power at all. Even his family's livelihood has to be earned with his own hands.
Thinking of this, he looked around and said, "Wanchun, you are still young now. I remember you are only twenty-two, right? What are your plans? Now is the time when the country is employing people, and even my son has already entered." Become a disciple of Tamluo Academy so that you can contribute to the future of China, what about you?"
This time Chongzhen himself came to Jinling, but his eldest son Cixi did not come. Xia Wanchun was a little surprised at first, but now he heard what Chongzhen said, and then he understood: "The prince has entered the Tamluo Academy?"
"Yes, this is a favor I entrusted to Yu Jimin, otherwise that kid's knowledge would not be qualified to enter the institute. Now he is only an intern in the institute. It is hard to say whether he can stay here."?He is extremely interested in marine climate change. He makes climate observations, measures temperature, and measures precipitation every day It is really fun from morning to night! "
"Why is the prince interested in this celestial phenomenon?" Xia Yunyi was shocked.
Since ancient times, studying astronomy has been a taboo. Private research is not allowed by the court, and you may even be imprisoned and beheaded. The meteorology that Zhu Cixi studied was also a type of astronomy. If someone followed the prophecy or the like, he might be in danger in the future!
"Jimin said that half of the appearance of the Ming Dynasty in my hands was caused by disasters and the other half was caused by natural disasters. The Central Plains has been experiencing major disasters for more than ten years, which were caused by climate change. When he talked to me about this, Cixing heard At this point, Cixi became interested and felt that if he could study the origin of climate change and make preparations in advance, the people would be less affected by the disaster, and he would be able to make up for the original sins of me, an incompetent emperor."
"Why did your Majesty say this? Your Majesty did not commit any misconduct at first"
"If there was no loss of morality, how could there be so many bandits?"
Unlike his stubbornness at the beginning, after ten years of studying and thinking, Chongzhen had a profound understanding of the mistakes he made during his reign.
After the banquet, Xia Yunyi and his son said goodbye and left. In the car, Xia Yunyi said: "Wanchun, are you willing to join the army or take a political path?"
"What do you mean, Sir, do you agree that the child will come out to serve Yu Jimin?" If he hadn't been unwilling to go against his father's wishes, he would have come out long ago.
"Well, even His Majesty said so It's enough for our Xia family to have me as a lonely minister of the Ming Dynasty. We can't delay your future any more. Moreover, if you can achieve something in the future, you can also take care of the prince's side. Some."
"My son wants to go to Xixiang and stay on the farm there for two years. Then he will go to the factory to stay for two years, and then he will get a job, starting from the lowest level."
Xia Wanchun's answer made Xia Yunyi nod his head: "My son has great ambitions. Now Yu Jimin's officials mainly come from two sources. One is the retired veteran of the Chinese military system, and the other is the subordinate officials at all levels under his rule. Wanchun is a subordinate official. Get up, be careful"
I could hear my old father imparting some "tricks" on how to be an official and a human being. Xia Wanchun seemed to be respectful, but in his heart he was a little disapproving.
The Huaxia system can be different from the old Ming system. Those experiences gained through hard work under the Ming Dynasty system. It is worthless in the Chinese system. For example, under the original Ming dynasty bureaucracy, doing more things would easily lead to trouble. Therefore, all officials believed that doing more was better than doing less. However, under the Chinese system, everyone seemed to be driven by a whip. You have to do things, if you don¡¯t do things. He will be beaten or even eliminated.
The kind of thing that is left to the staff and subordinates. I just want to drink tea and write poems. When the mood strikes, it is impossible for me to try two cases and become the grand master of Qingtian. It is impossible within the Chinese system. Xia Wanchun has seen the life of grassroots officials under the Chinese system. Although their income is much higher than that of the Ming Dynasty, they also have much more work. They have to work almost all year round, and they also have to bear very important responsibilities. .
"Let's go to Yu Mansion and have a look" Xia Yunyi suddenly said again not long after the coachman pedaled back.
In four days, it will be Yu Guozhen's enthronement ceremony. There are many doubts that bother Xia Yunyi. He wants to go to Yu Guozhen's place to see him. If Yu Guozhen is free, he will ask for advice directly. By the way, he can also tell Yu Guozhen about Xia Wanchun's affairs. .
But before they arrived at Yuzhai, they found that the road had become congested.
The street renovation work in Jinling City started five years ago. At that time, the people in the small court were panicked. As a result, Yu Guozhen sent Lei Faxuan here and spent more than half a year making plans. There hasn't been much movement in the small imperial court in the past few years, but several main streets in Jinling City have been repaired and hardened with cement, and the roads have become much smoother and wider. But now the street is crowded with people, and most of them are going in one direction. They seem to be rushing to watch the excitement!
Xia Yunyi frowned, that direction was Yu Zhai!
About three years ago, Yu Guozhen bought a house in Jinling City and built his own mansion. Although it was not very big, it was quite unique. After he entered the city, he did not live in the palace, but lived here.
"What's wrong? What's wrong?" Xia Wanchun jumped out of the car and asked someone who was coming towards him.
"A group of Jianlu, a group of Jianlu surrounded Yu Mansion!" the man stammered.
"What, how is this possible?" Xia Wanchun was shocked. This was Jinling City. How could Jianlu appear here and surround Yu Guozhen's mansion?
"Ahem, my mouth, I didn't explain it clearly, I was kneeling in front of the Yu Mansion, my dear, my eyes have been opened,""I saw Jianlu kneeling down During the Ming Dynasty, we caused trouble to them"
Hearing that man begin to recall the past, Xia Wanchun immediately let go of his hand and turned back to get into the car: "Sir, a group of Jianlu are kneeling in front of the Yu Mansion."
"Jianlu? This is strange. In the past, when Jianlu came into China, they burned, killed, and looted. But now, the purpose of Jianlu coming is to kneel down to Yu Jimin?"
Xia Yunyi vaguely felt that this might be a big show made up by Yu Guozhen, so his words were slightly sarcastic. However, he quickly retracted his thoughts and turned to laugh at himself: After all, he was used to being sour, and even at this time, he couldn't forget to ridicule others.
"Let's go and see the excitement, but it seems that Yu Jimin doesn't have time to see us." Xia Yunyi sighed slightly.
The driver pedaled forward again, and they finally squeezed through the crowd and arrived in front of Yu Guozhen's mansion. Sure enough, as the man said, dozens of bare-headed men knelt down in front of the Yu's mansion, grabbing the ground with their heads. They all bled. Looking at their appearance, Xia Yunyi didn't seem to be faking it. Out of curiosity, he happened to see an acquaintance hanging in front of him. He immediately shouted: "Huang Taichong, why are you here!"
It was Huang Zongxi who was stopped by him.
