Every emperor expects to have absolute control over his court and ministers.
There is no other reason than natural necessity.
The emperor naturally has to rule and fight against his ministers.
Only in this way can he be a qualified king.
Zhu Yuanzhang is no exception: "Want to be beaten again?"
A very weak threat.
Zhu Yunxi still put on a fearful look, leaned back, and then pressed forward: "My grandson thinks that the state affairs are becoming more and more complicated, and grandpa should select important ministers and capable ministers in the court. He can be a bachelor in the Wenhua Palace, and he can be in the palace." With the appendix to the memorial on state affairs."
In short, Zhu Yunxi wanted to build a cabinet.
Of course, it is not the kind of cabinet that the Ming Dynasty later had.
And now, raising this matter is just to divert the attention of those officials from the tax reform of the country.
When faced with the choice between power and money, they will always choose power wisely.
Unless there are really a few idiots who want them all.
Then don't blame Jin Yiwei's prison for being empty.
"Bachelor of the Wenhua Palace?" Zhu Yuanzhang muttered something faintly, and hummed twice: "You are becoming more sophisticated in doing things. You are probably paving the way for Jie Jin and the others."
Zhu Yunxi immediately shook his head. After the old man's reminder last time, he said sincerely: "We can't let them become bachelors of Wuying Palace. As for Mr. Jie and the others, if they have no talent or virtue in the future, that will be it. Family The country and the world come first, and my grandson’s personal affairs come last.”
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he nodded with satisfaction and smiled on his face.
I feel that my teachings are finally effective.
At least now I can clearly distinguish the relationship between the country and personal relationships.
He said: "We have nothing to do with this matter. Let's talk about your thoughts on the charter first."
"My grandson thinks that his grandfather is a wise king and his father is also a wise prince. It doesn't matter whether there are such plans in state affairs. But the world is getting bigger and bigger, and there are more things to do. There is always a possibility that grandpa and father can't finish them all. that day.”
"I am setting this example to divert the attention of the ministers and implement tax reform, which will benefit the country and the people. From now on, we can share the state affairs. As long as my Zhu family is in charge of the world and holds the power of the emperor, rewards, punishments, promotions and demotions are all in my family's hands, and they will also There can be no chaos.”
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand: "We will talk about the future. As long as we can make those people outside talk less nonsense about tax reform now, we can agree to it."
Killing is the easiest way, but he is not a murderous person.
Things always have to be done by someone. As the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang had countless amazing skills in killing people. They will always win over a group of people, kill a group of people, and finally things will be settled.
Only a fool would think that the emperor could kill the entire court.
Having the confidence and whether to actually do it are two different things.
Killing is a warning, and it is also a way to do things better.
Under such circumstances, Zhu Yuanzhang would choose to show the butcher knife hanging high in the sky.
Zhu Yunxi nodded and said: "Opening Enke this year can at least complete the reform of Zhejiang Province and achieve initial results. Next year, the imperial court will enter the Wenhua Palace to divide them and prevent them from uniting. As long as the imperial court opposes the reform If the voices on the matter are lowered, public opinion will not be formed, and my family will be able to benefit from it and mediate from it."
I’m asking if you want a seat in the General Consul’s Court.
What is the character of a literati?
In the face of absolute power, they will abandon everything.
"What does the prince think?"
Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while and asked his boss's opinion.
Zhu Biao, who had been on the sidelines recently, glanced at his son and said, "Just bringing civil servants into the Wenhua Hall will lead to unnecessary slander, and will it make the civil servants have too much power?"
The prince can always grasp the fate of events.
Zhu Yunxi grumbled in his heart. Dad is his dad after all, so he replied: "My son was thinking last year that the Governor's Mansion under his grandfather was quite effective. Although later, due to some reasons, my grandfather changed the Governor's Mansion. It is reasonable to divide the mansion into the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, and it is also something that my family must do. But now it seems that if Chaozhong recruits bachelors from the Wenhua Palace, the Governor's Palace of the Five Armies will need to recruit some bachelors from the Wuying Palace. Only in this way can yin and yang be reconciled.”
Zhu Biao blinked his eyes a few times, smiled silently, nodded, shook his head with a smile, leaned back, and stopped talking.
Zhu Yuanzhang hummed twice: "We have given You Rong enough!"
Another gratuitous sentence.
Zhu Yunxi smiled and said: "You are merciful, and my grandson knows it. Now that the imperial court has entered the Wenhua Palace and the Wuying Palace, the two sides are balanced. In the final analysis, it is just to maintain the status quo."
"The right path is to strike a balance." Zhu Yuanzhang commented.
Zhu Yunxi nodded silently.
This is imperial magic.
The emperors of the Ming Dynasty wanted to gain absolute rule over the world, and they could only balance the court and the world.
All things, like crops in a field, are never allowed to take the lead, let alone allow a towering tree to grow in the field.
Large trees deprive surrounding crops of nutrients, causing their crowns and root systems to expand and swell.
Farmers who have worked hard for a year will never get any harvest again.
Only by cutting off the picky ones and weeding out the outliers, so that all the crops in the field can maintain a healthy growth, can the family's granary be filled during the summer and autumn harvests.
The imperial power embodied by the Ming royal family is just like the old farmer holding a sickle. He must have absolute power to rule over the land of the country.
Zhu Yunxi whispered: "Grandpa also agreed to this?"
He was asking knowingly.
Zhu Yuanzhang glared as expected: "Let's wait until Feng Xue picks up the talent and discuss it later!"
Zhu Biao groaned at the side and said quietly: "Father, is it time to go back?"
Zhu Yuanzhang patted his butt and waved his big hand around.
"The prince has spoken, let's go back."
The old emperor slapped his butt and left, looking back at the prince who was being carried across the threshold of Xihua Gate.
Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily: "It will all be demolished today!"
Sun Gouer, who was lagging behind, was in trouble.
Seeing the old emperor walking away, his shoulders softened.
Zhu Yunxi also patted his butt and stood up. He walked behind Sun Gou'er and raised his hand to pat his shoulder: "Make it into a groove with a live buckle. When the prince comes out, let people lift him up in front of his head and drop him back after passing."
Sun Gouer's face was filled with joy.
In this way, it was not considered a violation of the rules. I hurriedly wanted to thank you and say a few good words about the emperor's grandson's wisdom and martial prowess, but I found that the third master had already rushed to the East Palace.
Immediately, Sun Gouer put his arms behind his back, puffed out his chest, and also waved his fingers and pointed.
"Did you hear that? Just follow what our third master said!"
"Nothing in this palace can block the way of our crown prince!"
The eunuchs everywhere hurriedly responded. Some went to look for the person who would be the prisoner, and some went to various places to plan the possible routes for the prince.
…
As for Zhu Yunxi, the old man and his father returned to the Zhongji Palace, while he returned to the East Palace.
On the way from Zhejiang Road to the next day, we didn’t have anything to eat, drink or sleep on.
After soaking for half an hour, he pulled himself up from the turbid sewage, and soaked in another bucket for another half an hour. Then, under the service of Tang Queqing and Mu Caiyun, who rushed back to the East Palace after hearing the news, he He was dressed in a uniform that was exclusive to the grandson of the Ming Emperor.
Compared with the previous day on Zhejiang Road, when the ground was freezing cold, the people were in dire straits, and the officials and gentry were killed and blood flowed like rivers, half of Zhejiang Road was completely incomparable.
The boss in the East Palace is always happy.
The twenty-third uncle, Zhu Huang, no longer went back to live with Concubine Li Xian in the harem.
He ate and lived in the East Palace every day and went to the main hall to study.
Although Tang Queqing and Mu Caiyun both came from meritorious families, it was enough to teach them some literacy skills.
Xiao Zhuhuan probably saw that the status and identity of the two eldest sisters in the palace would always be somewhat flattering.
As long as he always showed a simple but not honest smile on his face, he would always have several portions of food in his hands.
Zhu Yunxi's eldest sister, Zhu Qingjing, was always so virtuous and virtuous. She worked as a female celebrity and read about female virtues all day long. By the way, when she couldn't bear it anymore, she would discipline her second sister, Zhu Qingshu, and third sister, Zhu Qingning.
The small East Palace, composed of these people, was more lively than before.
Zhu Yunxi's return made the East Palace even more happy.
Several children were shouting that the third brother was not at home during the Spring Festival and was missing a red envelope of lucky money. This time he had to double the compensation.
Even Zhu Yunxi finally lost his cowardice and cautiously followed the sisters and extended his hand to Zhu Yunxi.
This is a good change. If it weren't for national affairs, Zhu Yunxi felt that he should be better to this child. It would be better to keep him by his side and teach him more.
Before leaving the East Palace, Zhu Yunxi took a deep look at Zhu Yunxi who was standing behind the palace door.
He couldn't help but think of Zhu Yunwen, the second child who was imprisoned in Fengyang Imperial City in Zhongdu at this time.
I wonder how he is now, whether he is truly relieved as he showed that day on the Dongshuiguan Pier behind Tongjimen.
As he thought about it, he thought about his fourth uncle Zhu Di who was far away in Peiping.
He must have already known about the fact that he was the grandson of the emperor who was overseeing the country now, and he went to Zhejiang Road again. Presumably, Zhang Zhiyuan has already achieved quite a lot.
After walking a few steps along the corridor, Zhu Yunxi thought of the Japanese army that was far away in Japan. Because of the distance, there has never been any news from there.
But he knew that time was still short at the moment. Mining the silver mines and stabilizing the continued division between the north and the south in the Japanese country would require the long-term efforts of Li Jinglong, Zhang Yi, and Tie Xuan.
The Japanese slaves will probably come back with the first batch of silver.
Japanese slaves were sent to Shanxi and Shaanxi to replace the people of the Ming Dynasty to mine coal mines and increase production.
Zhu Yunxi doesn't feel bad about using Japanese slaves, but what if the mine tunnel collapses?
The Japanese countries are now about to beat each other to pieces, and Yoshinoya wants the Ming Dynasty to stabilize the situation. They have no time to worry about the lives and endings of these people who will become Japanese slaves in the Ming Dynasty.
Nice romance
Along the way, Zhu Yunxi thought a lot.
But now the Ming Dynasty has embarked on the road of reform step by step under its own leadership.
This is a point of no return.
At least that's how he sees it, success or failure is not an option.
Must succeed is the only option.
It has never been said that one must first make peace with the inside before fighting against the outside world.
The Ming Dynasty needs a more complete internal condition before it can focus all its energy on the outside, so that it can stand at the top of the world and nip all possibilities for progress in the outside world in the bud.
Only when Sun Cheng called softly from beside him did Zhu Yunxi come back to his senses from the thoughts in his heart.
"Third Master, the Commander-in-Chief of the Chinese Army has arrived."
"My subordinates have also asked people to come over in advance for the meritorious Duke Hou in Beijing."
Zhu Yunxi recovered his senses and raised his head, looking at the Yamen of the Central Military Governor's Mansion in front of him.
Inside, there is a dirty but absolutely just transaction waiting for him.
