After a few days,
The news that His Majesty asked the two imperial grandsons to run salt factories each spread throughout the court.
Why can't all the old foxes understand what it means?
What His Majesty means is,
The two royal grandchildren are still young and need help from the court officials.
Hearing this,
Baiguan's heart skipped a beat.
It’s time to take sides!
Your Majesty wants to determine the next two generations of emperors from the Ming Dynasty!
Logically speaking,
Your Majesty is in his prime, and there is no problem in working for another ten or twenty years.
Even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has not succeeded to the throne.
Why decide on the emperor’s grandson so early?
All the civil and military nobles had different thoughts;
Obviously everyone has their own plans.
but,
There is no doubt about one thing.
Now is the perfect time to meet the two royal grandsons,
At least it was His Majesty’s order.
You can help the emperor and grandson openly.
but,
Everyone knows it well,
His Majesty asked them to help verbally, not to contribute money.
But that's enough.
The weird thing is,
Instead, the inside of Yingtian Mansion felt strange like a pool of stagnant water.
For Zhu Yunxi, in addition to the Changfu's clear stance to help Zhu Yunxi,
There will never be another one.
As a popular candidate for the third emperor,
Zhu Yunwen,
I just chatted with Guo Huan, the Minister of Household Affairs,
All forces in Beijing are waiting and watching!
But actually,
They had already made their choice secretly.
All the vassal kings are in the capital, waiting for military parades and military exercises before returning to their fiefdoms.
Everyone can clearly feel it,
A black cloud shrouded the Ming Dynasty,
Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty,
The situation has never been so strange.
........
Changfu
"The best thing to do is to do nothing."
Zhu Xiongying patted the armrest of the chair and said.
Unknowingly,
Lao Zhu's habit also affected himself.
Zhu Xiongying can now enter and exit the palace at will.
All I need to do is inform Lao Zhu,
but,
It can only be between two points and one line between the imperial palace and Changfu.
now,
Changfu has become Zhu Xiongying's strategic meeting room.
Zhu Yunxi sat at the bottom facing Zhu Xiongying.
Lan Yu and Chang Mao were on Zhu Xiongying's right and left hands respectively.
Jiang Wei leaned against the door, listening to the strange movements outside the door.
Chang Sen sat in the corner,
Either eating or looking at Zhu Xiongying,
Or just look at Zhu Xiongying while eating.
Chang Sheng, on the other hand, was extremely busy with matters at the salt factory.
The rest of the people are waiting here.
Zhu Yunhe said doubtfully,
"Brother, Zhu Yunwen has the support of the Ministry of Household Affairs.
The salt factory will surely become bigger.
Should we just do nothing?
If necessary..."
Zhu Yunxi's eyes flashed,
A trace of cruelty flashed across his face,
“I can be exposed if I need to.
Zhu Yunwen and I will fight to the death! "
Zhu Xiongying shook his head,
Ever since Lao Zhu told him about the aristocratic family,
Zhu Xiongying could feel that his vision suddenly broadened.
Zhu Yunwen is just a small level.
And if you want to keep moving forward,
We must proceed steadily and gradually.
because,
Zhu Xiongying had never taken Zhu Yunwen seriously.
What he wants to eradicate is,
What's behind!
The Ming Dynasty finally fell to the gentry,
They only know that they have a home, but they don’t know that there is a country.
In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, he once dominated the government affairs.
even,
I felt that the Ming Dynasty was not good, so I thought about changing to a new dynasty.
Lao Zhu can now kill all the noble families in Hongwu ten times.
Not even the scum left behind was killed.
But they are like maggots attached to their bones,
It will always reappear when the imperial power is weak.
Moreover,
They were never for the country,
But for the benefit of yourself and your family.
As for how many people will be killed?
Don't care at all.
Lao Zhu can kill them all, but he cannot eradicate them.
The disgusting part is that,
You hate him, but you still have to use him.
The civil servants in Zhu Yuanzhang's court were roughly divided into three categories:
The old people who surrounded Lao Zhu when he started his army,
Huaixi represented by Li Shanchang.
An old minister of the Han people in the Yuan Dynasty,
Lao Zhu didn’t want to use it, but he had no choice.
These are the only people in the world who understand.
Officials who entered the imperial examination,
Most of these were members of the gentry class from aristocratic families.
Have excellent education and professional qualities.
As Zhu Xiongying said to Zhu Yuanzhang before,
These people know how to govern a country;
Kill one and there will be one less.
And if you want to eradicate aristocratic families,
The first step is to eradicate academic monopoly.
Any scholarly family in the Hongwu Dynasty had the potential to develop into a wealthy family.
therefore,
A brand new talent training system,
After Zhu Xiongying came to power,
First thing to do!
Zhu Xiongying smiled and said,
"Calm down, brother,
Don't be so extreme,
Let me ask you, do you know about salt factories? "
Zhu Yunxi shook his head,
Say it truthfully,
"Brother, I don't understand."
"Do you know how to do business?"
"don't know."
"Then before you and Zhu Yunwen took over, would the salt factory make money?"
"Make money."
Zhu Yunxi opened his eyes wide. He just needed Zhu Xiongying to give him an idea.
He can react quickly.
"Brother! It's true!
Doing nothing is the best!
It's better to leave this matter to someone who knows better! "
Zhu Xiongying smiled and said,
“The more you do, the more you make mistakes.
And, this is just a round,
Don't reveal too many of your cards. "
Zhu Yunxi nodded heavily and looked at Zhu Xiongying with admiration.
really,
In front of my brother, my little cleverness means nothing!
Lan Yu and the others also looked at Zhu Xiongying with feverish eyes,
They found that Xiongying seemed to have matured a lot,
There is such a lord,
There is also passion in what you do as a subordinate!
Zhu Xiongying "looked" at Zhu Yunxi and continued to ask,
"I want you to think about it for yourself,
Is it really for profit that Grandpa wants you to set up a salt factory? "
of course not,
Zhu Yunxi replied in his heart,
But Zhu Yunxi was stunned again.
He knew that Zhu Xiongying was alive, and grandpa also knew it.
Isn't the matter of setting up a salt factory a better comeback for my brother?
Is there any deeper meaning?
Zhu Yunxi frowned.
Thoughts are racing rapidly,
Zhu Xiongying clicked,
said,
"Who is behind Zhu Yunwen?"
Zhu Yunxi slowly widened his eyes, and then exclaimed,
"Grandpa wants to target the ministers who sided with Zhu Yunwen?!"
Lan Yu and Chang Mao looked at each other and gasped.
And Jiang Wei, who was leaning against the door with his eyes closed and concentrating,
He couldn't help but open his eyes.
Zhu Xiongying smiled and said,
"You and Zhu Yunwen are comparing each other.
Daddy keeps you in his heart,
Baiguan keeps you in mind,
The people also keep you in their hearts.
The more Zhu Yunwen did it, the more wrong he became.
The more wrong he is, the more right you appear to be!
on the contrary,
You do nothing but do it all!
younger brother,
Do you understand it? "
Zhu Yunxi took a few deep breaths, no matter how precocious he was,
But the difference in thinking level between Zhu Xiongying and Zhu Xiongying is too great.
The location is different, the view is different,
And now,
Zhu Yunxi finally understood everything!
For Zhu Yunwen, setting up a salt factory was an opportunity.
It’s a good opportunity to fight for the throne!
For Baiguan, setting up a salt factory is an investment.
He started submitting certificates of surrender to the third-generation emperor early.
For the prince, setting up a salt factory was a choice.
Choose the future crown prince candidate,
for....
For grandpa, running a salt factory is a layout.
I want to dig out all my brother’s potential enemies.
Clean them up one by one.
and,
Zhu Yunxi looked at Zhu Xiongying with bright eyes,
For my brother, running a salt factory is a good thing.
Let veterans who don't have enough food have a way to survive.
same thing,
Everyone's purpose is different.
But which one is higher and which one is lower is already clear.
"Grandpa."
Lan Yu quickly stood up and responded.
"Hero."
"Although Yunxi doesn't need to do anything, we need help."
Lan Yu's eyes flashed, and she had obviously thought about this matter for a long time.
"Xiongying, I can't get over to the civil servants.
Li Wenzhong, Xu Da, and Fu Youde can win over Wu Xun.
I have friendship with them, and they are extremely loyal to His Majesty.
but,
The three of them are very skilled and have been neutral in the court for so many years. "
Zhu Xiongying smiled and patted the armrests of the chair rhythmically with his hands.
"Uncle, there is no such thing as neutrality.
It's just that the benefits are not big enough to attract them to make a choice.
The world is bustling, and everyone is going there for the benefit of others.
Friendship is difficult to last, but if there are the same interests,
This relationship cannot be separated. "
Lan Yu looked at Zhu Xiongying,
It felt like I was looking at His Majesty.
picture!
It’s so similar!
They don’t look alike!
But this kind of attitude of looking down on the world is so similar!
Lan Yu is not a fool, so she naturally understands what it means.
He opened his mouth and said,
"Xiongying, do we want to share the profits with them?"
Zhu Xiongying corrected,
“It’s not profit sharing.
It's dividends.
Let them become our shareholders,
Profit sharing is shared with outsiders, and dividends is shared with one's own people.
Ask your second uncle to let go of the shampoo business.
Give them a chance to invest in us. "
Zhu Xiong’s English was bland, but the content of his words was indeed extremely arrogant.
It was as if Li Wenzhong and the others were honored to invest in the shampoo business with their own money.
Jiang Wei closed his eyes again and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
Your Highness is in charge, so you don’t have to worry about anything.
You just need to take orders and do things.
Lan Yu widened her eyes and asked,
"Then what if they don't vote?"
"hehe."
Zhu Xiongying smiled and said,
“Such a cornucopia of promise is placed in front of them, but they can’t even see it.
Such a short-sighted vision is not worthy of standing with us. "
Zhu Yunxi's pupils trembled wildly,
The expression he looked at Zhu Xiongying was full of yandere!
elder brother!
My superman! ! !
Lan Yu was stunned, then shook her head and smiled,
"Xiongying, I understand.
Don't worry, my uncle will get one for you no matter what. "
Upon hearing this, Zhu Xiongying couldn't help being surprised and said,
"real?"
Lan Yu patted her chest and assured,
"It's absolutely true!"
Li Wenzhong, Xu Da, Fu Youde.
Zhu Xiongying had no extravagant expectations, and all three of them lined up with Zhu Yunxi.
after all,
Zhu Yunxi's superficial strength is almost nonexistent.
And if we can win over a family,
That’s a huge gain!
There are not many allies!
And these three people are not just ordinary people!
Let’s just see who Lan Yu can win over!
After explaining the matter, Zhu Xiongying "looked" at Chang Mao again.
"Uncle, you did a great job bringing Yunxi back to the palace last time~
I think you can continue like this and show the Changfu's attitude of supporting Zhu Yunxi in the palace.
This is important. "
Chang Mao has obviously changed a lot since the last time Lao Zhu Ximen ordered troops.
The messy luck all over my body has dissipated a lot.
The whole person was full of energy.
Chang Mao said,
"Don't worry, Xiongying.
Uncle can definitely figure it out! "
