Of course, it is impossible for Yang Rong to really want to deceive the emperor, but there is no doubt that he wants to live in vain.
Once you succeed this time, everything that requires spending money in the future will inevitably have to sell national debt.
By that time, the credit of the national debt will inevitably collapse and become worthless than banknotes.
After the meeting broke up unhappy, the three brothers and Li Yunze were called to the imperial study.
When the eunuch closed the door, Zhu Di's anger broke out.
With a wave of his hand, he swept all the pens, inks, paper, inkstones, etc. on the desk to the ground. He turned around and yelled at Zhu Gaochi, "You have been a good supervisor and a good prince!"
The chubby Zhu Gaochi trembled and hurriedly knelt down and confessed his guilt.
Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui on the side were naturally trying not to laugh out loud.
It was really fun to watch the drama today, one of my own people beating my own people.
"Are you guilty? How could you be guilty? You are a prisoner of the country and a good prisoner of the country!"
Once the emperor's anger breaks out, it will really roar like a strong wind.
A series of sarcasm and a series of scoldings made Zhu Gaochi almost burst into tears.
"If this were in the army, huh!"
If he were in the army, he would at least be beaten with a military stick.
After finally venting his anger, Zhu Di turned his back to the others and breathed a sigh of relief, "Zhan Ji, tell me why I'm angry."
"Of course it's because the prince is being manipulated by the civil servants." This matter was obvious, and Li Yunze had already seen through it. This is the reason why Yang Rong didn't save face directly in the main hall.
"Listen!"
Zhu Di suddenly turned around and pointed at Zhu Gaochi, "Even a child can see clearly, but you yourself are stupidly being taken advantage of!"
"Dad~~~" Zhu Gaochi raised his head with difficulty and defended, "Yang Rong and others are loyal to the country..."
"Ha~~~" Zhu Di simply turned around again and said, "Zhan Ji, continue."
"yes."
Li Yunze bowed his hands and looked at Zhu Gaochi, "It is right to be loyal to the country, but it depends on how you do things."
"Once the incident is revealed this time, the civil servants will definitely take advantage of it in the future. Starting from here, they will continue to corrode and embezzle to seize the financial power of the imperial court in an attempt to regain the power of the past."
Ever since there was a court, ever since there was an emperor.
The struggle for prime ministerial power and imperial power has never stopped.
The pinnacle of the power of the prime minister is the cowardly king and the scholar-bureaucrats sharing the world.
"Impossible." Zhu Gaochi shook his head repeatedly, "Yang Rong and the others are loyal people and would not be like this."
"This is not just about an individual." Li Yunze also had no choice but to explain, "Sanyang's character may be incomparable, but Sanyang is not the only civil servant in the world. They are actually a whole, and the goal they pursue is actually the same, which is hope. The emperor ruled from the top down, and will
Let them take care of the world. In an attempt to recreate the situation of "the king and the scholar-bureaucrats sharing the world". "
"The national debt issue is actually just a test, and even Yang Rong is basically being used as a gun. He just wants to use the power of the prime minister to invade the imperial power, so as to prepare for controlling the government in the future."
"Listen, listen to yourself!"
Zhu Di, who turned around again, pointed at Zhu Gaochi angrily, "This kid can see clearly that you, an old man, have been stupidly taken advantage of. I told you not to trust all the ministers, but you just don't." listen!"
While Zhu Di was still there, civil servants naturally did not dare to act rashly.
But it can't stop them from preparing for the future.
Surrounding Zhu Gaochi is one aspect, and this time he tentatively wants to seize the opportunity to open up a hole and pave the way for future control of financial power, it is another aspect.
A wage earner who does not want to be a boss is not a qualified wage earner.
Even if you can't be a boss, you must at least be a partner.
The civil servants were the royal wage earners, and they also wanted to be senior partners like the former Song Dynasty.
This mentality will not change. No matter who the emperor is, there will be countless turbans who will promote it intentionally or unintentionally.
Zhu Di can see through this because he has really experienced everything, especially the major cases during the Hongwu period.
Li Yunze also understands it, but it's because he comes from the modern world with the explosion of information.
Zhu Gaochi didn't understand and couldn't see through it.
Not only him, but Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui on the side were also shocked and in disbelief.
Those bandanas are going to shake things up.
"father!"
Zhu Gaoxu immediately jumped to his feet, "I'm going to mobilize my troops and rebel against them!"
Zhu Di sneered and was too lazy to respond.
Li Yunze, on the other hand, tried to dissuade him by saying, "Who is the second uncle going to arrest?"
"Of course Yang Rong."
"Yang Rong was just pushed out to take the blame. He didn't even understand it himself." Li Yunze shook his head, "Unless he took the blame for all the civil servants in the court."
"Well..." Zhu Gaoxu was in a dilemma, "If it's all over, who will do the work?"
"So." Li Yunze simply spread his hands, "I have no choice but to pretend not to know."
Zhu Di simply said, "Pass the decree to remove Yang Rong from the positions of Wenyuan Pavilion Bachelor and Hanlin Attendant, and send him to Jinyi Guards to be imprisoned!"
Zhu Gaoxu was shocked and kowtowed hurriedly, "Dad, it's none of his business. I asked him to play..."
Zhu Di ignored him at all and pointed at Li Yunze, "Tell him!"
"This is for the headscarves." Li Yunze explained patiently, "Let them know that the royal family does not allow them to usurp the imperial power. It is also the so-called killing the chicken to scare the monkeys."
"Of course, you can't really kill it. Let's lock it up for a while. When the storm passes, the prince will naturally show mercy and release it."
Li Yunze didn't say the next words.
Because what I want to say later is that if you reuse him when you ascend the throne, you will naturally burst into tears.
This is the way to be a king.
"Alas~~~"
Zhu Di sighed and walked up to Li Yunze, "Fortunately, you are here. At least for the next fifty years, these guys won't be able to succeed."
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of all three brothers changed.
This sentence is even more lethal than what Zhu Di said to Zhu Gaoxu back then, "This is my kind."
It is almost equivalent to clarifying the future inheritance of the imperial line.
On the way back to the East Palace, Zhu Gaochi, who was sitting on the sedan chair, looked at Li Yunze from time to time with complicated eyes.
"Your Majesty said that on purpose." Li Yunze kept his eyes straight, "It's like saying that my second uncle is like me. If you take it seriously, it's boring."
The inner guards of the Eastern Palace all around lowered their heads and held their breath, secretly hating why they had two ears. If they heard something they shouldn't have heard, they would be silenced at some point.
"You kid."
Zhu Gaochi sighed repeatedly, "Where did you learn this skill from? How come you understand everything and can see everything clearly, like a monster."
"Your Majesty thinks so too." Li Yunze started chattering non-stop, "I've gone too far, and it's like I've got something in my pocket. Prince, just look at it, when the seven days of Chinese New Year fun are over, I won't even think about going back to the East Palace. I'll have to spend the whole day He was still practicing behind the barracks. The emperor will always be the emperor, and the Sacred Heart is unpredictable."
"Then why did you..." Halfway through his words, Zhu Gaochi couldn't continue.
He also understood that Li Yunze showed his sharp edge just to save himself.
It is only natural that the emperor takes advantage of the situation and suppresses it.
After all, the emperor is the most unpredictable being in the world. No one knows what he thinks.
Even Li Yunze, who had been an emperor, did not understand Zhu Di's true thoughts.
Even though Zhu Gaochi had all kinds of worries at this time, in the end he could only sigh.
He has been a prince for decades, but he still can't figure out the thoughts of his old man.
But the only thing that is certain is that the fifty years that seemed to be a compliment before are actually the old man's warning.
The emperor knew that he could not live forever, but he wanted to live forever.
At any time, when faced with the possibility of showing off one's edge, one will be most vigilant.
After the New Year holiday, Yang Shiqi, one of the three Yangs, succeeded Yang Rong as the new chief minister of the cabinet. This was a year and a half earlier than in history.
As for Li Yunze, he was left in the military camp as expected.
On the surface it is said to be preparation for the expedition, but in fact it is a different kind of observation.
Li Yunze was noncommittal about this and spent the whole day studying and training in the military, beating himself up and strengthening himself.
He still doesn't know how many worlds he will experience in the future. A strong body and sufficient knowledge are definitely good things for him.
It is said that the environment affects people, and Li Yunze fully agrees with this statement.
In the military camp, he was busy all day long, but he was able to persevere.
I dare not say that his character is tough, but it is inevitable that it is closely related to the environment in which he lives.
If he was surrounded by warblers and swallows, just like in the world of Dream of Red Mansions, let alone constantly enriching and beating himself, at that time he would even give up riding and shooting.
The Ming emperors in history, since Zhu Zhanji, have grown up in the hands of women in the palace. Each generation has become more and more useless, which is closely related to the environment in which they live.
Li Yunze, who was in the military camp, was not locked up. He could also get news from the outside.
For example, the turmoil in the Japanese country became more and more intense. In the face of rebellions that were emerging everywhere, the general Ashikaga Yoshitoshi could not maintain his support, so he had to ask the Ming Dynasty for help, thus giving the Ming Dynasty the right to intervene openly.
Afterwards, the great craftsmen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Industry explored more and more gold and silver mines throughout the Japanese country.
The discovery of these Jinshan silver mines further promoted the turmoil in the Japanese country.
More and more Japanese prisoners of war were sent to the mines by various forces, and the gold and silver exchanged for their lives were transported back to the Ming Dynasty in boatloads.
Not only did it enrich Zhu Di's pocket, giving him the confidence to prepare for the expedition, he even had the money for the Sanbao eunuch to sail to the West again.
Li Yunze looked down upon Zhu Gaochi. One of the important reasons was that as soon as Zhu Gaochi came to the throne, he issued an edict to stop his Western business.
The reason is naturally that it was manipulated by civil servants.
The deeper reason is that the wealth obtained by Zheng He from his voyages to the West fell into the pockets of the royal family, and the turbans could not get it.
On the contrary, Zhu Zhanji, who was slandered and slandered as the Cricket Emperor, supported Zheng He.
The eunuch Sanbao's last voyage to the West was made possible with the support of Zhu Zhanji.
The days passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, Li Yunze had been in the army for several months.
In July of the 21st year of Yongle, Zhu Di left the palace again and entered the military camp, and all armies began to mobilize.
Zhu Di's fourth expedition to Mobei kicked off.
