Zhu Houzhao's method is actually the imperial mentality that an emperor should have. You must have your own purpose, and then find the appropriate foothold among the emotions of all parties to achieve your purpose.
Unless he is like Hongzhi and has his own selfish motives.
But Zhu Houzhao didn't want to think about it. All he wanted now was that a wise king would rule the world and everyone in the world would submit. The prosperous Ming Dynasty must be achieved, how can it be done just because of a few princes?
But this premise is that the method requested by King Qi and King Yong is not allowed.
Emperor Hongzhi was still a little hesitant...
"What if I...I want to comply with the request of King Qi and King Yong? They are my younger brothers after all."
In this case, Zhu Houzhao could only kowtow, "If this is the case, I will obey the order."
Hongzhi could naturally hear the reluctance in the prince's words, "Oh. Please let me think about it again."
After the crown prince left, he himself was still a little depressed in Qianqing Palace.
"Xiao Jing, do you think I, the king and father, have neglected... to make the prince and his uncles so emotionally weak?"
Xiao Jing has been seeing these things today. But the matter involves the royal family and is very sensitive.
"I dare not say this, slave." He immediately knelt down.
Emperor Hongzhi urged impatiently, "Speak quickly! I will not punish you."
"Yes. Your Majesty is a benevolent king and father, and no one inside or outside the palace knows it. Your Highness the Crown Prince is also filial. But if the Crown Prince is unwilling to do what is happening today, even if it is not today, the servants will only be afraid of the future... the future... …”
Will the prince not deal with them in the future?
This is what Zhu Houzhao wanted Xiao Jing to say. In fact, he only had to say half of it. Just a reminder. It won't cost him anything to do this favor, but it can be a favor to the prince.
The main thing is that Zhu Houzhao must not say it himself. He can't threaten the emperor and say: Just do it like this. When you die, I want them to look good!
Except for him, no one else can say this.
Thinking about Zhu Yuanzhang's wanton enfeoffment, an official named Ye Boju reminded him that you should take it easy. If this continues, there will soon be the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion and the Eight Kings Rebellion in the Han and Jin dynasties.
Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that he gave him to Kacha directly.
The fact that the royal family will kill each other is something that not everyone can say.
That's why Zhu Houzhao specifically found Xiao Jing.
In fact, even though Xiao Jing said half of what he said, when Emperor Hongzhi heard this and looked at the old eunuch's frightened look, how could he not have thought of it?
Yes, we can't let the prince have grudges with these vassal kings now. While he is still here, King Qi and King Yong can naturally live a good life.
But what if he is no longer there? Don't let your family get stained with their own blood.
This is what he has to consider too.
And the more an emperor like him values family ties, the more he cares about this.
Anyway, you can't change the crown prince. If you want to avoid this problem, think of other ways out as soon as possible.
So Emperor Hongzhi could only hold the memorial and sigh, "Get up. I'm sorry for you. Who will tell me except you?"
Xiao Jing wiped tears on his face and felt happy in his heart. He still felt very difficult when the prince told him. In the end, both ends turned out to be good.
"Your Majesty is the one who suffers. There are so many subjects and people in the world, and Your Majesty has to worry about them. I don't think about anything else. I just want to be sincere to Your Majesty and say whatever comes to my mind."...

When the topic reaches this point, there is nothing more to say.
Compared with the possibility of losing one's life in the future, having less money is always better for King Qi and King Yong.
The most important thing is that if he insists on it, Zhu Houzhao will still object. Didn't this cause his son to be remembered badly by those imperial uncles for no reason?
If he really had any complaints, he would rather bear them himself.
Emperor Hongzhi did not want his son to take over the throne and be opposed by these uncles in the future. That would not be a good thing for the Ming Dynasty and the Zhu family.
"Just follow the prince's request." He closed the memorial and handed it to Xiao Jing's hand, "Let the cabinet vote again."
Xiao Jing took it respectfully,
When he turned around and walked out, he looked a little moved because he didn't expect the emperor to agree to this.
What is Hongzhi’s character?
Even if Queen Zhang's two younger brothers do evil, he will protect them. Not to mention his own family.
But the prince has a way... and this time it's not all about the emperor's favor.
I went to see him specifically yesterday, probably because I expected that it would not be easy to convince the emperor about this matter. Then I thought about the conflict between the successor king and the emperor's uncle.
This hidden danger must be carefully considered by any emperor.
They even asked the cabinet to re-vote in order to prepare for cleaning up some corrupt officials in the future.
Take one step, see three steps...
How terrifying.
The cabinet room is not far away. In the southeast corner of the Meridian Gate, there is a small south-facing pavilion with very narrow regulations. This is the cabinet where the bachelor's degree is administered. There is a small archway at the entrance, with the emperor's edict hanging above it. After passing the archway, we arrived at the pavilion. There were stools on the east, west and south sides, and the three pavilion elders took their places.
When Xiao Jing brought the emperor's oral edict and asked them to draft it again, their faces all became serious.
The new vote meant that he did not agree with their request, which meant that the emperor still had to grant permission for the hundreds of hectares of land owned by King Qi and King Yong.
"May I ask Eunuch Xiao, has your Highness ever been to Qianqing Palace?" Liu Jian came up and asked directly.
"I've been there." Xiao Jing answered and left, "We're leaving."
In this way, either the crown prince could not convince the emperor, or the crown prince simply had the same opinion as the emperor.
After the people left, the three old men in the cabinet sighed,
Xie Qian's tone was sad, and he said quietly: "In November of the 23rd year of Chenghua, I was rewarded with a section of Kongjiawan Island in Dangyang County, Liaofu Zhenguo General;
In the ninth month of the third year of Hongzhi, the eldest princess of Chun'an was given 160 hectares of farmland in Raoyang County, and the princess of Shunyi County in Xiufu was given 27 hectares of farmland in Yongqing County;
In February of the fifth year of Hongzhi's reign, 200 hectares of land were granted to Wang Wangjun's platform; in September of the same year, 27 hectares of land in Dong'an County, Shunyi County, Xiufu was granted.
In April of the seventh year of Hongzhi, he also ordered that the 449 hectares of incense fields owned by the two kings of Ying and Liang, which were originally owned by the Xiangfu, were transferred to the Xingfu. In this way, King Xingxian obtained nearly 500 hectares of land at one time. ! "
"Not only that," Li Dongyang continued, "seeing His Majesty's generosity, the other vassal kings became even more greedy, and they came to beg for help. Isn't this the case for King Qi and King Yong this time? If this continues, how can the treasury bear it? How can the people? Can you endure it?"
Liu Jian certainly understood what they meant.
The emperor has the right to ask the cabinet to redraw votes. ….

Naturally, the cabinet can also be drafted in a similar way.
"Since His Majesty has a decree, let's draft it." At first glance, Liu Gelao thought he was obeying the emperor, but in fact he didn't change a few words when he wrote it.
After Xiao Jing returned to Qianqing Palace,
Emperor Hongzhi asked him: "How did the elders react?"
"Mr. Liu Ge asked if His Highness had been here." Xiao Jing answered honestly.
"Hey. These people have also set their sights on the emperor's son." Emperor Hongzhi naturally understood the meaning of this question, "Don't you know that my emperor's son is connected to my father and son, what does it have to do with them?"
Xiao Jing apologized and said, "Yes, I think the tickets they sent again are similar to the ones before. It went as expected by His Highness."
"Go, call Mu Bin for me. I think what the emperor said is right. They want me to set an example, and the ministers must also set an example!"
The Zhu family doesn't occupy that land, so don't go around and let it be occupied by officials like you.
This is the plan of Qianqing Palace,
The outside world doesn't know. They only know that the emperor rejected the cabinet vote.
In this case, the foreign minister will also know that this matter has to be strengthened, otherwise the emperor will not agree.
Falling in Wu Kuan
And Cheng Minzheng here... Fortunately for Wu Kuan, Cheng Minzheng was educated by Prince Yong, and in the Wenhua Palace, he happened to lose face to the current prince. I am afraid it will be difficult for him to bear this estrangement.
If not, the emperor finally agreed to King Yong's petition. It was always because of Cheng Minzheng's ineffective teaching.
As for the possibility of being deceived, how could he guess the Crown Prince's deep thoughts? .
