Just in time for rain [恰逢雨连天] - Chapter 38

[38. Chapter 37]

Zhu Nanxian recalled what Shen Xi said this morning –

today’s game, the crown prince could not win, because he “involved” Jin Yiwei, your father and emperor did not allow anyone’s power to come over him; the seven kings did not You may win, because this game has been broken. Your father knows who Zeng Youliang is, but he will not lose, because your father still needs to use him to check and balance the prince, so let alone Will move Zeng Youliang.

So, who is the most innocent?

It’s you.

From your father’s point of view, he can’t deal with the crown prince, and he can’t deal with the seven kings, so you who were brought into this game for no reason are the ones he owes the most.

So the first thing you have to do is to let your father understand that he owes you, so that if you want to ask him what he wants, it will be easier for him to give it to you.

So, how to make him feel indebted?

Pretend to be innocent, pretend to be ignorant, and pretend to be brothers and sisters.

Zhu Nanxian said: “Since Chunqi, the official’s fraud and troubles have always been the heart of the father and the emperor. When the son came back from the northwest, he saw the eldest brother and the seventh brother in the palace running for this case several times. I want to share the worries of the father and the two brothers, but I don’t know where to start. It happens that Erchen and the Governor Su are old acquaintances, and I heard earlier that she was investigating the disappearance of Shizi, and suspected the disappearance and trouble cases. It was originally related, so I heard that Governor Su had inexplicably rushed to the Mafu bureau to find clues, and the son was in a hurry, so he followed.” After

speaking, he went to the hall and bowed, “Father, this is because the son is reckless. Unexpectedly, it was almost in danger of being killed, and in the future, I will think twice about doing things.”

After hearing this, Emperor Jing Yuan glanced at Zhu Ze with a stern look, and said to Zhu Nan enviously, “You shouldn’t blame you for this.” After a pause, he asked again, “In your opinion, this game was planned by Ma Shaoqing’s officials?”

Zhu Nanxian did not answer for a while.

Shen Xi said, your father is shrewd and knowledgeable. Although your words won his sympathy, they may not win his trust.

So the second step, you have to make him fully trust you.

Zhu Nanxian, you know why you have been so favored since you were a child?

It is because of your mother.

Your father loves your mother, your temperament is most similar to your mother, sincere, kind, decisive, frank, and most importantly, she is tolerant and compassionate.

A few years ago, the mother-in-law of the Seventh King once poisoned your mother-in-law’s decoction and medicine, and the evidence was there, but when the trial was about to come, your mother-in-law thought that the Seventh King was young and said that she accidentally put the poison, Only then did your father spare Concubine Cen’s life.

In this world, only emotions can be the most blinding.

You don’t have to mention your mother, just make him feel that this is similar to what happened in the past, and he can believe you.

Zhu Nan said enviously, “Although I don’t know why Ma Shaoqing set up a bureau to harm my son, but the reason why my son was able to save his life,” he paused, and glanced at Zhu Minda and Zhu Zewei, “If it wasn’t for the Seventh Emperor Brother The Dongcheng Soldier and Ma Si clear the way for the eldest brother’s Yu Linwei, and my son may have been buried at the Zhaohe Bridge.”

After hearing this, Emperor Jing Yuan said coldly, “If the two of them are delayed, I will have them. Head.” Then he said to Zhu Nanxian in a warm voice, “Nanxian, get up and answer.”

Shen Xi said, since you have gained the sympathy and trust of your father, it is reasonable to ask.

However, your request is to become a vassal without marrying a wife. This is something that has never been seen before or has come since. Your father and emperor are also a man of the rules and regulations. Just relying on debts and trust is not enough for him to agree to you.

Although your mother is generous, she is also decisive and intelligent. Although she saved Concubine Cen’s life back then, she has never been allowed to step into the palace gate since then.

So you have to do the same. The purpose of your vassal is that you have long guessed that someone in this palace will harm you, but you are unwilling to use the way of others to treat others, so you are discouraged and avoid it.

Zhu Nanxian didn’t get up, lowered his eyes and said in a low voice: “Father, my son has been thinking about it for the past few days, my son has nothing to do in the palace, and I have asked my father to allow my son to join the vassal in a few days. Emperor Jing Yuan said solemnly: ”

You haven’t accepted a concubine yet, and you need to carefully choose your vassal territory. This matter is too hasty, and we will discuss it later.”

Shen Xi said, this vassal territory also has its own particularity. Let me ask you, where is the vassal territory. Surely your father would agree?

Zhu Nanxian thought for a while and said, Jiangxi, Nanchang House?

Shen Xi said, yes, it is Nanchang.

It was in Nanchang that your father and queen met, and they named you Nanxian, and the word for Nan also originated from Nanchang.

Your father has always wanted to keep this treasure with you or Seventeen.

In addition, there are robbers in Nanchang this year, and there is an urgent need for governance. There is no suitable candidate yet. If you can join the clan in time, you will undoubtedly solve his troubles.

Zhu Nanxian said sadly: “I have been thinking of my mother these days. Before my mother was alive, I tried to mention to my son the days when I shared joys and sorrows with my father in Nanchang Mansion, but unfortunately my son was born in Yingtian, and I never had the honor to go back to my mother’s hometown to meet with him. I have heard that, if the royal father urges you, I hope that the royal father will allow the sons and ministers to choose Nanchang.”

Emperor Jing Yuan said, “Also, Nanchang has been infested with bandits recently, and you have always been good at leading troops, so it’s better for you to go.” He asked again: ” Minda, how is Shen Jing’s handling of Nanxian’s marriage?” Zhu

Minda said, “I’m going back to my father, I’m still choosing.” Hand, looking at the rising sun, said, Zhu Shisan, in fact, your mind is clear, many things, you are not ignorant, but do not want to think about it. Today, I only said this once, you remember. If you want something from someone, you need to know what he wants most. If you want to win in one hit, you need to know where the opponent’s most fatal weakness is.

You actually know in your heart what your eldest brother and the seventh emperor want, what the courtiers in the Ma residence want to harm you, and even what your father wants.

Shen Xi paused and continued, you even understand why I say this.

Because I don’t know whether I’m right or wrong to help you today.

Although you look powerless, your foundation is too high, you are the direct prince, and although you have never run a business over the years, Jinwuwei Zuoqian has inadvertently been subdued by you. One day without the right to lead the army, you still have the military heart of that side.

If you go to the vassal to pacify the bandits, you have political achievements, you have your own pro-military guards, you work hard to get money and people’s hearts, and you really make the border as the king, then – the pattern in this palace will change.

Naturally, your eldest brother will not think this is a bad thing.

Because he understands you, your brotherhood is very strong, you don’t care about the crown prince, and you won’t fight him.

Your Seventh Emperor will not think this is a bad thing.

Because the various vassal kings are separated, it seems that it is not beneficial to him to divide some of the forces from you, but when you play a dead chess game from the East Palace into a live chess game that can be autonomous, he will feel that there is an opportunity to take advantage of it.

However, the situation is changing rapidly, and the whole body is affected.

On the surface, your choice today is just a vassal, but in fact, you stepped out from under the arm of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and stepped into this bloodthirsty vortex alone.

From now on, you will face the turbulent and treacherous struggle for power alone, and you will overcome obstacles on this intriguing road. What you shoulder will no longer be just the military heart of one soldier, but also the territory. With the people’s livelihood, society and position, your hands will be truly stained with blood.

I hope that by then, you will still be able to change your mind.

Have you considered?

Zhu Nanxian took a deep breath and solemnly kowtowed to the hall.

If you have to rely on the protection of others, you can keep your original intention, and you can’t even protect the people you really want to protect. What’s the use of this stability?

“Father, my son has already thought about it. Seven days later will be the day of sacrifice for the mother and queen. When the sacrifice day is over, the son will go to the vassal. The son has been wandering outside for the past few years, and he has not been able to stay in front of the father and queen to perform filial piety. No. In ancient times, there were famous people who kept filial piety for their mother for five years, and the sons and ministers missed their mother and they were eager to follow suit. They wanted to be filial to their mother for another two years in Nanchang, and the matter of accepting a concubine will be discussed in two years.”

Emperor Jing Yuan sighed deeply . : “Since it’s your wish, that’s all, I’m ready.” The

deep hall was silent, and there was no word in the hall for a while.

Emperor Jing Yuan looked at Su Jin again and asked, “What do you mean by saying that this person is your old acquaintance?”

Zhu Nanxian pursed his lips, but did not look at Su Jin, thinking back to Shen Xi’s words –

if you If you want to get something from someone, you have to know what he wants most.

To his father, Su Jin was nothing more than an ant. Who she was and what role she played in this matter was not important. It was better to tell the truth so as to dispel his doubts.

Zhu Nanxian said: “Returning to the father’s words, before the son went to the northwest, the elder brother once ordered the son to deal with a very difficult pair. The son was helpless and had to ask around for advice. Governor Su was a second-class jinshi back then. It was because of her instruction that my son passed the level of the eldest brother.” He paused for a moment, then said again, “Father, my son will be a vassal in the near future, so the military leadership of Jinwuwei will be yours. Should I go to the Ministry of War and return it tomorrow morning?”

Jing Yuandi looked at him, his expression gradually softened: “Alright, it’s rare that you think carefully.” As he spoke, he seemed to remember something, looked at Liu Chaoming and said, “Liu Qing, I remember. Meng Lao Censor wrote several times in the past, trying to protect a Su surnamed Jinshi, but this person?”

Liu Chaoming said: “Back to Your Majesty, it is this person.”

Jing Yuan looked at Su Jin and asked, “Which one are you? Jinshi?”

Su Jin said: “Go back to Your Majesty, Wei Chen is the Enke Jinshi in the eighteenth year of Jingyuan.”

When she said this, Emperor Jing Yuan remembered – surnamed Su, Qizhou Jieyuan, who wrote splendid articles and was even more talented. When he saw her age, he was quite shocked, for fear that this child was too sharp Accidentally, she personally ordered the Ministry of Rites to push her from first to fourth.

Unexpectedly, there is still no escape.

However, just looking at it from the hall, it is already Guanghua’s self-restraint, and it is a coincidence that it is not working.

And it is regarded as a great responsibility from the heavens to the people.

Emperor Jing Yuan said: “Since he is a second-class scholar, and any governor in the capital’s yamen, he is really a Qu Cai, and I also heard that this person made a contribution on the day when the official made trouble?”

He said, looking at Liu Chaoming: “That being the case, Liu Qing, you have fulfilled your teacher’s wish to admit Su Jin to the Imperial Court and be promoted to the Censor.”
