In September of the twelfth year of Hongzhi, the emperor had been resting for half a year, and his health had greatly improved.
Perhaps it was a coincidence that a minister suddenly came to the court and asked the emperor to resume the morning and afternoon dynasties.
The so-called restoration actually means asking the emperor to come back to manage the country and stop the prince from supervising the country.
When someone first proposed the memorial, Emperor Hongzhi refused. In fact, he didn't care about anything. After all, he was in the palace. If the minister wanted to meet him, he would still meet him. But after the prince took charge of the country, he seemed to have a "deputy deputy emperor", and he felt much more relaxed.
The so-called transition from extravagance to frugality is difficult, and if several important ministers did not ask for it together, how could he agree so readily.
But someone started it, and people continued to come forward one after another.
It is difficult to say that this is the Taipus Temple officials who are manipulating such a thing, because officials from various yamen in Beijing have submitted such memorials. How could Taipus Temple have such great energy.
However, the reason is easy to explain.
Zhu Houzhao knew that it was what Liang Chu said.
Emperor Hongzhi also felt strange that there were so many people suddenly. The prince took this opportunity to talk about Ma Zheng in detail to give him some ideas.
"...So to put it this way, people's livelihood is already suffering beyond description."
"So I ask my father to support my action in Shuntian Prefecture Bazhou this time. Because the officials of the Ma Zheng system are not taken seriously, they are so bold that the people can no longer bear the disturbance."
"What the prince wants to do is for the sake of the country. How can I not support it. But..." The emperor shook the memorandum in his hand, and he suddenly understood, "This must be the recent memorandum from the ministers of the DPRK asking me to resume the morning and afternoon sessions. The reason for the dynasty."
And in an instant, he seemed to understand something, and said angrily: "Isn't this a satire on me? Does it mean that if I take charge of this matter, these corrupt officials will have a place to stay?"
Forehead……
Zhu Houzhao thought to himself, you said this yourself, not me.
The emperor frowned and thought to himself: Huh, these officials are really used to messing around with me. Don't they know that I have given birth to a son who is unique in all? So we have to let the prince deal with them!
"Prince, how many officials do you expect to be involved in this thunderous operation in Bazhou?"
"It's hard to say. It's easy to count the officials of Taipu Temple, but there are no count of how many lower-level officials there are in order to make this method of animal husbandry work."
Seeing that the prince was well-prepared, the emperor said, "My prince has a natural ability to govern the country. You can take care of this matter, and I can always rest assured when you do things. Moreover, your mother has been depressed recently, and I am a little bit unable to get away from it."
"My mother's side..."
"Your father is here, Prince, don't worry."
This conversation has the warmth of a family.
But it can only be said between father and son in the inner room.
You are an emperor, what do you mean because the queen can't get away? This sounds like Zhou Youwang Bo Baosi smiled.
"In addition, the prince has done a good job in organizing the army this time. The idea of Class A and Class B guards is wonderful. I have also seen the eight Class A guards. The military appearance and military power are obviously different from the past. That military academy The method is also very good. A few days ago, the British prince came to the palace to tell me that he wanted his children to go to the military academy. The nobles and the royal family are one, and those who come out of the military academy are the prince's confidants. You can't Prefer one over the other.”….
Zhu Houzhao nodded, "This is natural. In fact, they don't have to come to ask Father. They just need to tell Erchen. Erchen plans to recruit students regularly every year in the future, and there will be opportunities. But the opportunities are limited. If the quota is full, , some people just have to wait, and on this point, the father also has to help his sons and ministers to defend them."
"limited?"
Zhu Houzhao explained: "Father, the military academy will recruit the entire army in the future. If the opportunities are given to the noble children, then it will be meaningless."
This is an organization established for military purposes,
Even if there is some politics mixed into it, it cannot be all politics.
Otherwise, it will lose its original meaning.
"Then can we recruit more people?"
Zhu Houzhao was a little surprised, "Father, there are more nobles coming to plead with Father?"
This is strange, all the pampered princes are thinking of going to war?
"There are quite a few. So according to your plan, how many places can be given to them next time?"
"Five," Zhu Houzhao blurted out after thinking for a while.
Five is the limit. Too much trash is stuffed in. If you are not afraid of others, you will be afraid that the atmosphere will be bad and the good people will be led astray by those young men.
Emperor Hongzhi was a little troubled, "Can't we have more?"
"Father." The prince was a little unhappy.
"Okay, just five, and some others told them to wait for next year!"
"Father is wise."
After that, the prince chatted with the emperor for a while before leaving.
After leaving Qianqing Palace, Liu Jin hurried over to report.
"Your Highness, there is a letter from Mao Yuwen."
"Bring it here." The prince looked and walked, and a group of people followed him. The more he read the letter, the heavier Zhu Houzhao's heart became. The letter wrote: Recently, there are few horses in Bazhou, so we can only cooperate with friends. The horse was purchased to make up for the problem, and at the time of purchase, the value was quite high. The cost of buying the horse alone was nearly twenty taels. As for the fodder required for the journey when sending the horse to the government, it was even more expensive. The weak people and the poor horses were miserable and cried to each other. They had to come back and watch again next year, but the labor and expenses were as before. If his teeth are old, he will eventually abandon them, and then he will turn to another horse. The people are harmed by superficial enemies, and the harm is extremely serious...
And at the end of the letter,
Mao Yuwen also mentioned one thing, because Jin Yiwei sent many people to investigate the situation. It was okay at first, but later it seemed that local powerful people noticed it and began to prevent the people from telling the truth at will. Jin Yiwei was also arrested by several people in the middle of the night. Ten villagers were injured.
Because the prince's order was for him to get to know the situation first, he asked for orders before taking action.
"Has Zhang Yong set off today?"
Zhu Houzhao frowned, his aura was a bit scary.
"Back to Your Highness, we have already set off today. The Ministry of Punishment has also sent people to handle the matter at the nearby Yamen of Bazhou Prefecture in accordance with Your Highness's orders."
"Then write a reply to Mao Yuwen and authorize him to arrest people and prosecute them."
It's in Shuntian Mansion, very close to the capital.
When the top gives orders, things naturally get heated below.
However, a few days later, the cabinet sent a message to Zhu Houzhao, saying that the prefects and magistrates of various prefectures and counties in the Northern Zhili region were reporting to the court, asking the court to delay the cancellation of the strategy of people raising horses.
This made Zhu Houzhao a little wary,
He summoned the cabinet and the ministers of Taipu Temple, Liang Chu,...
"I heard earlier that there was a conflict between Taipu Temple officials and local civil affairs officials. Why is it that this time the imperial court wants to rectify the officials in the horse administration system, but the prefects and county magistrates in various places are opposed to it?"
Because Taipu Temple requires people to raise horses and local officials require people to farm land, conflicts have continued over the years.
So this objection is strange,
Li Dongyang reported: "Officials from all over the country said that because the people hate raising horses, His Highness wants to get rid of the disadvantages of raising horses this time. He is also piloting a trial to temporarily exempt horse households in one or two counties from the responsibility of raising horses. Therefore, local officials are worried that if there is no The people of the county will find it hard to accept that they can be chosen. If trouble occurs, the court will pursue them."
Once there is a civil unrest, the pursuit of accountability will not be about censure, but may very well be beheading.
But Zhu Houzhao thought about it and still felt something was wrong.
"Just Shuntian Prefecture. They are close to both the capital and Bazhou. Daming Prefecture is hundreds of miles away from the capital. How did they know that?"
[By the way, currently the best one for reading and listening to books, @
The child starts with the general.
"I'm here."
"Is there anything unusual in the Yamen?"
Liang Chu didn't think of anything else but Zhang Mian.
It was impossible for him to say that even Taipu Temple did not support His Highness's reform strategy. Catch all these officials and kill them. Even the prince would not be able to make this decision easily, so he could not cause problems for the prince.
"... Zhang Mian, the young minister of Taipu Temple, once approached me privately to teach me to act with caution."
Zhu Houzhao was not interested in the details, "There is no three hundred taels of silver here, and there is no ghost in his heart. What is he afraid of? Someone is coming."
"Here." Two Jin Yiwei stood up.
"Go and arrest Zhang Mian, the young minister of Taipu Temple, and put him in jail!"
