Zhu Youxiao was not worried about his security and defense work. He had to be on guard against others. He had to eliminate all possibilities.
As long as his younger brother is still in the capital and in the palace, no matter how much control he takes, he will not be able to stop the civil servants from "gambling."
And the most important thing is that his younger brother has a big ideological problem. His mind is full of the so-called sage Confucianism, and he is not of the same mind as his older brother at all.
His idea was the same as that of Emperor Jianwen. An emperor who only cared about reputation and face and paid attention to so-called Confucianism was not a qualified emperor at all.
After learning about the current situation of his innocent younger brother from Liu Shimin, Zhu Youxiao asked him about the monitoring of officials in Bian Town.
The internal factory had just been reestablished, and the manpower was transferred from Jinyiwei and Internal Supervisors, so they were not very familiar with this new business.
Moreover, the border town generals are much more prepared to take precautions than ordinary generals.
It is extremely difficult to place spies around them.
Today's generals are all greedy for soldiers' blood and food. They take all the money allocated by the court to support the army and put it into their own pockets.
Then he used the money and food to recruit private servants and soldiers to become a private armed army that only obeyed his orders.
If you want to find out their true background, the first thing you need to do is to at least become their servant.
But it was obviously impossible for the current Jin Yiwei to do this, so he did not blame Liu Shimin.
Although there is a certain lack of personal talent, it is more due to the limitations of the times.
Zhu Youxiao is not in a hurry now. His basic base has been established. As long as nothing happens to him, his control over the northern provinces will only continue to strengthen.
The inventory of the inner treasury and the royal warehouse also went extremely poorly.
When many eunuchs heard that the emperor sent special personnel to count, they used various reasons to obstruct them.
There were even direct fires in several places, but where the source of the fire came from is unknown.
Liu Shimin had no choice but to arrest more than a dozen eunuchs in charge for interrogation. The information obtained was not critical and important enough, and some scattered clues were of no use at all.
Zhu Youxiao knew that the eunuchs were afraid that the information and quantities of the items they counted would not be correct, so they chose to use extreme methods to escape.
This is also their usual trick. They will directly count all the houses for you, and then see what else you bring to check.
He had no choice but to order all the eunuchs responsible for guarding and guarding the treasury to be killed and their homes ransacked.
You guys think it's all over with this, I'm not a taciturn person, so just be more straightforward like you, after all, I'm not someone who's willing to suffer.
In order to prevent such a sudden fire from happening again, Zhu Youxiao ordered a palace to be vacated in the front palace to store antiques, calligraphy, paintings and other objects.
After Liu Shimin withdrew, Zhu Youxiao immediately summoned three ministers of the cabinet and Zhang Ruitu, the Minister of Rites.
Establish Zhu Youjian's title and fiefdom as soon as possible.
Zhang Ruitu immediately expressed his disapproval. The title canonization could be drafted now, but this was a vassal matter. According to his opinion, it would have to be postponed later.
The reason given is that many emperors have faced embarrassing situations. Zhu Youxiao currently has no prince and no descendants to be his heirs, so Zhu Youjian has to be temporarily kept in the capital.
This is an unwritten rule between the royal family and courtiers. If the emperor does not have a son, but has a brother, he must keep a brother in the capital in case of unexpected events.
If there were no biological brothers, it would be another matter.
When the emperor was young and strong, no one would say anything. After all, the future is long and there is still plenty of time.
But if the emperor is old, or his health is unstable, and he suffers from a disease that cannot be cured, he will have to select a suitable clan from the nearest clan to enter the capital.
Just like Emperor Jingtai, when Zhu Jianji was still alive, he could make trouble as he pleased, and many ministers would still support him.
But when Zhu Jianji died and his body was in trouble again, the ministers' first concern was not whether it could be cured, but what the emperor's specific condition was.
Instead, he immediately signed a letter asking him to immediately confer Zhu Jianshen as the crown prince to stabilize people's hearts.
Not to mention in the feudal dynasty, even in later generations, the inheritance of heirs is the biggest thing. What's more, he is still the emperor and his status is special, so of course it is even more strict.
Coupled with the negative teaching material of Zhu Houzhao, the attention of civil servants to this aspect has increased several levels.
They were afraid that the old incident of Wuzong would happen again, so they were extremely concerned about it.
Emperor Apocalypse in history probably didn't stop him from becoming a vassal because he loved his younger brother.
The biggest obstacle may be the same embarrassing situation Zhu Youxiao is facing now. Without an heir, the officials will not let him go at all.
The three ministers in the cabinet also believe that the inheritance of future generations is greater than heaven. For most people, this is a deep-rooted idea that cannot be changed at all.
When Zhu Youxiao saw that they were all unanimously opposed, he no longer argued with them forcefully, let alone got angry because of this restriction of etiquette regulations.
So he said bluntly:
"The queen is pregnant and will give birth to a prince soon. You don't have to worry about these things. Please arrange for my brother to be enthroned as a vassal as soon as possible!"
"Your Majesty, I forgive you for not obeying the order. This is really inconsistent with the ancestral system. Your Majesty, you can wait for a few days until the queen gives birth to the prince, and then you can become a vassal!"
"Even if the minister and the three ministers in the cabinet agree, the officials will not agree. I hope your majesty will not forcefully violate the rules!"
Zhang Yan is already three months pregnant. Although it means that Zhu Youjian still needs to stay in the palace for at least seven months, Zhu Youxiao is not in such a hurry yet and must make arrangements now.
Although Zhu Youjian cannot be sent out of the capital now, some preparations must still be put on the agenda.
After final agreement, Zhu Youjian will be canonized as King Xin, and it will be officially announced at the court meeting after the year.
The fiefdom is set in Xinyang Mansion, Henan, but it will not be a vassal for the time being. After the queen gives birth to a prince, it will be released to other places. This is also the opinion of several ministers.
During this period of time, the Ministry of Rites will also seize the time to prepare for Zhu Youjian, who is about to become King Xin, to select a concubine and get married.
The etiquette of a prince's wedding is also very complicated, not to mention that it is in the capital, and the emperor personally presides over the wedding. In terms of pomp and momentum, it is naturally more grand and grand than usual.
Zhu Youxiao's canonization ceremony will be held together with the wedding ceremony. This will save time, effort, and most importantly, save a lot of money.
