Qianqing Palace.
Zhu Gaoxu was chatting with Zhu Di.
Zhu Gaoxu was in a bad mood because of the incident between Jian Yi and Xia Yuanji.
He did not hide it from Zhu Di and told the whole story.
Zhu Di was not surprised by this, or the performances of Jian Yi and Xia Yuanji were all within reason.
"Jian Yi is a pure scholar. He also studied in Cheng Zhu and passed the imperial examination to become an official. Naturally, he still prefers the gentry and the gentry in his heart."
"As for Xia Yuanji's money bag, you can rest assured that he will definitely make the right choice."
Zhu Di said with a smile: "Based on my understanding of Xia Yuanji, he will definitely put the justice of his family and country first, so he will definitely support you in implementing the New Deal!"
Speaking of which, the person who knows Xia Yuanji best in the world is Emperor Yongle.
Back then, the monarch and his ministers had quarreled countless times over the Northern Expedition.
But after every quarrel, the monarch and his ministers would sit down calmly and discuss how to raise money and food. This reconciliation often lasted for several hours, even until midnight.
So Zhu Di knew very well what Xia Yuanji really wanted.
This humeral arm wanted to create a peaceful age from the beginning!
Letting the common people be fed and clothed, filling the treasury and making the Ming Dynasty prosperous and strong, this is Xia Yuanji's lifelong pursuit!
"In a sense, you and Xia Yuanji are actually the same kind of people."
"My money bag will also become your humeral arm and your most trusted advisor in the future!"
Hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu nodded.
He was also very optimistic about Xia Yuanji, or he admired this talented official very much.
After all, Xia Yuanji was a financial and taxation expert born and raised in the Ming Dynasty, and he supported Emperor Yongle in completing his literary and martial arts!
If it weren't for Xia Yuanji in the Yongle Dynasty to raise money and food, Emperor Yongle, who was obsessed with civil and martial arts, would have ended up in the same miserable end as Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty, and would have been reduced to "Yang Guang's second"!
It would be a pity to leave such a great talent unused.
If Xia Yuanji is willing to make the right choice, Zhu Gaoxu will not mind reciprocating the favor and letting him become the leader of the Jin gentry, and then be the Minister of the Ministry of Finance for ten or eight years, the kind who will sit there until he dies!
Anyway, Zhou Chen is still young and needs more experience, otherwise his qualifications and achievements will not convince the public.
"As for Jian Yi..."
"He is a decent gentleman and has no bad intentions."
"If he makes the wrong choice this time, let him go to Nanjing."
Zhu Di said calmly: "Let him exchange it with Wang Ji, the Minister of Household Affairs in Nanjing."
"Although Wang Ji is very young, it is precisely because he is young that he has the passion and sharpness of young people, and he does not have so many scruples in his actions."
"If you want to implement the new policy of dividing one person into another, you must create a team. It is not enough to have just one Yang Shiqi. Both Nanjing and Beijing must have candidates who can control the situation, as well as people who dare to fight. Strong general!"
"The promotion of land-sharing will undoubtedly lead to a direct war between the court and the gentry. This is a war that can affect the national destiny of the Ming Dynasty. So you, the commander-in-chief of the armed forces, are you ready?"
Zhu Gaoxu looked at Zhu Di and nodded solemnly.
As expected of Emperor Yongle, the war madman who loves fighting the most!
His metaphor is indeed very appropriate, this is a war in itself!
If the imperial court wins this battle, the real peaceful age will not be far away.
But if the court loses, it will have to bow to the gentry. Not only will the court's prestige plummet, but the royal family will also lose face.
However, Zhu Gaoxu has no chance of losing.
Are you kidding me, are the millions of soldiers in the military just for show?
If you can't play chess, it will overturn the entire chessboard!
I, Zhu Gaoxu, never talk about martial ethics!
"Dad, there is something I want to discuss with you."
"Oh?" Zhu Di looked at Zhu Gaoxu with a half-smile, "What is it? Is it worthy for the prince to lower his posture like this?"
Well, that’s quite ironic!
Zhu Gaoxu was not angry and said with a smile: "Since fighting requires strong generals, there must also be scouts!"
"So I am planning to rebuild the Jinyiwei. After all, we are the emperor's personal army, so I have to ask you to speak!"
Hiss...rebuild Jinyiwei!
This bastard traitor is preparing to go on a killing spree!
Zhu Di's face changed slightly and he did not agree directly.
"Is it really necessary to rebuild Jinyiwei?"
"In fact, Dongchang is easier to use than Jinyiwei, and it is more secretive and will not arouse the dissatisfaction of the courtiers."
Zhu Di prefers Dongchang to Jinyiwei.
Because those eunuchs were not only smart, but also reliable and well-spoken...
Unexpectedly, when Zhu Gaoxu heard his suggestion, he shook his head decisively.
"Dad, the Dongchang can't be used!"
"Once those eunuchs and eunuchs take power, the harm will be far greater!"
"The eunuchs of the Eastern Han Dynasty disrupted the government, and the eunuchs of the Li and Tang Dynasties brought disaster to the country. Aren't these historical lessons obvious enough?"
Zhu Di was famous for his fondness for reusing eunuchs and eunuchs.
The reason is that the eunuchs of the Yan Palace such as Zheng He and Wang Gou'er were so outstanding that Zhu Di had a blind illusion, as if all eunuchs and eunuchs were so capable.
Little did he know that Zheng He, Hou Xian, Wang Gou'er and other eunuchs were just a few, all of whom could leave their names in history.
There were more eunuchs and eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty, but they were all dogs that brought disaster to the country and the people!
Wang Zhi, who served under Concubine Wan Gui of Emperor Xianzong of the Ming Dynasty, Wang Zhen, the confidant eunuch of Tumu Fort War God, the notorious "Eight Tigers" such as Liu Jin and Zhang Yong, and the famous 9,000-year-old Wei Zhongxian of the Ming Dynasty...
Which one of these is not a piece of shit that brings disaster to the country and the people, and brings harm to the Ming Dynasty.
"What happened to the eunuchs and eunuchs? They are loyal to the emperor. There is no one more loyal than them in the world!"
Zhu Di was still arguing, trying to clear the name of the eunuch and eunuch.
However, Zhu Gaoxu smiled helplessly and explained: "Because of their physical disabilities, most of the eunuchs and eunuchs became psychopaths. They were either greedy for money or loved power, and they acted ruthlessly without any scruples. Do you want to take a look at what Dongchang has been doing over the years? What happened?"
As soon as he finished speaking, before Zhu Di could ask further questions, Zhu Gaoxu handed over a memorial.
This is the evidence of Dongchang's crimes that he asked the secret guards to secretly collect. Corruption is corruption, murder is murder. Anyway, he is completely unscrupulous and does not do good things!
In particular, many Dongchang eunuchs, under the banner of Emperor Yongle, wantonly insulted officials and courtiers, and oppressed the common people. It can be said that Zhu Di was completely embarrassed!
After seeing this, Zhu Di was instantly furious, and his whole body was boiling with murderous intent.
"Is this all true?"
"You can call those dead eunuchs over and confront them!"
Zhu Gaoxu spread his hands, feeling very confident.
After all, these are real people and he has nothing to fear.
"good!"
"It's really good!"
Zhu Di was so angry that he gritted his teeth and wanted to give himself a big mouth.
"Dad, I told you a long time ago that most of these eunuchs are perverts, but you just don't believe it!"
"Okay, shut up!" Zhu Di roared angrily.
"To rebuild Jinyiwei, we must first operate on Dongchang and kill these beasts for me!"
"My son, take your orders!"
