There was a lot of quarrel in Fengtian Palace, but no one really asked to resign.
Today is different from the past. Everyone knows that the emperor can really keep his word. If they dare to resign, the emperor dares to criticize them.
Without him,
Pass on the official!
This thing that they didn't take seriously at first became a real means to kill them.
Resigning is not for resignation, but for political blackmail or even political blackmail!
To put it bluntly, this is a game, but the premise is that you must be able to blackmail others, otherwise it will be a joke.
This trump card of all dynasties was completely unavailable in the Chenghua Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty.
This damn minister!
Although there are not many ministers at present, they know that as soon as they move, there will be many ministers to fill their positions.
Maybe those people are not very talented, but there is still no problem in maintaining the running of the government. The emperor can still have fun without them. Do you think it is uncomfortable?
Finally, the establishment of the West Police Factory was put on the table.
They know that this is aimed at them, but they can't stop it. After the killer weapon is invisible, there is only one way left in front of them.
rebel!
Just kidding, this is a joke, the Ming Dynasty is prosperous, and the rebellion is purely to drag the nine tribes to death.
After being treated like this, the officials could no longer be stubborn.
Wang Zhi was hardened.
He did not expect that his promotion speed would be so fast. He would not dare to think of either of them, eunuch of Royal Horse Supervisor, and factory supervisor of West Factory. But now, he holds the same position at the same time.
More importantly...he is still only sixteen years old.
He was the first sixteen-year-old eunuch in the Ming Dynasty to achieve such an achievement. Even the idol eunuch Sanbao was far behind him at the same age.
Just like a dream.
Young people are full of energy and have strong mobility. When given the opportunity, they naturally have to perform well.
The establishment of the West Factory is changing day by day...
However, the ministers complained endlessly and did not even dare to engage in the most routine neglect of government, for fear that Wang Zhiqiu would settle the score later.
They knew how tough this young man was and how dare he bring them to death.
Early July.
Concubine Chen gave birth to a son.
Zhu Jianshen was delighted.
The ministers also saw the opportunity to ease the relationship, congratulated one after another, and even asked the emperor to accept concubines, thinking that the clan would flourish and more children would bring blessings...
The main thing is to please.
Zhu Jianshen usually bows his head, but this time it's their turn. There's nothing they can do, it can't be done.
Zhu Jianshen really listened to the advice, and soon the talent show was on the agenda.
But he listened to the advice, and his attitude towards the ministers was still lukewarm, and he didn't even invite them to the full moon banquet.
~
Qianqing Palace, side hall.
Li Dongyang's mouth went dry while talking, but the good student kept his head hanging down and said nothing. When he saw this, he stopped and said with concern:
"The prince is feeling unwell?"
After asking a few questions, Zhu Youtang came back to his senses and shook his head gently.
"I'm not feeling uncomfortable."
"Is there anything unhappy about that?" Li Dongyang was no longer in a hurry to lecture. He knew that in this state, it would be useless no matter how good the prince's lecture was, because he would not listen.
"If the prince feels that he can tell it, he might as well talk to the minister," Li Dongyang said. "If it is not convenient to talk to the minister, the prince can also talk to the emperor or the empress. In short, don't keep it in your heart." ωＷω.GOＮЬ.οrＧ
Zhu Youtang sighed like a young adult and asked: "Sir, my father has taken another concubine."
"Ah?" Li Dongyang was confused. He stayed for a while and then said calmly: "Is there any problem?"
"My father doesn't seem to like my mother and concubine anymore." Zhu Youtang's stubby eyebrows were furrowed, feeling depressed.
"..."
Li Dongyang didn't know whether it was Concubine Ji Shu who complained to the prince, or whether the prince himself was grievances for his mother and concubine, but no matter what the situation was, it was not something that he, a foreign minister, could comment on.
He could only say: "The emperor also has the responsibility to spread the branches and leaves of the clan. This is normal. Prince, don't think too much about it."
"Okay." Zhu Youtang sighed again, "But I feel that after having a younger brother, my father will no longer kiss me."
Li Dongyang smiled bitterly and said: "The prince is too worried. The emperor makes you the prince, which is the greatest closeness to you."
"That was before, but not now. Now my father has a new son." Zhu Youtang said sadly: "Maybe he will make his younger brother the crown prince instead."
"No." Li Dongyang said with relief, "The elders and younger ones should be in order. How can the crown prince of the country dismiss the throne lightly? Prince, don't think too much."
"Actually, it doesn't matter whether you want to be a prince or not. It's just..." Zhu Youtang pursed his lips and said, "I just want my father to spend more time with me, my mother and my concubine."
Li Dongyang was a little helpless. Since ancient times, it was difficult for upright officials to settle family affairs, let alone the emperor's family affairs. Even if he had the ability to do so, he would not dare to do so!
He can be a mentor to others, and as a mentor to the prince, he must be responsible for the growth of the prince.
It is the duty of being a teacher and a minister, and there is no room for carelessness in the growth of the prince of the country.
He felt that it was necessary for him to advise the emperor and give the prince a good growth environment.
Li Dongyang knew that his lecture would be in vain, so he said: "Prince, I won't give lectures today. Let's practice calligraphy."
"Oh, that's fine." Zhu Youtang nodded sadly.
The two young eunuchs immediately presented them with pens, ink, paper and inkstones. One of them studied the ink, and the other spread out the rice paper...
Zhu Youtang dipped his pen in ink, but his writing was weak.
Seeing this, Li Dongyang sighed secretly in his heart and left the side hall on the pretext of three urgent warnings.
He came to the main hall of Qianqing Palace, took a deep breath, walked forward slowly, cupped his hands and said, "Excuse me, sir, Li Dongyang wants to see you."
Xiao Huangmen knew that he was the prince's teacher, so he was polite and said, "Sir, please wait a moment."
After saying that, he entered the main hall.
About half an hour later, the small yellow door came back and said, "Your Majesty, please let me in."
"Thank you, father-in-law." Li Dongyang nodded and stepped into the hall.
Seeing that Wang Zhi, who was in the limelight, was also there. It seemed that the two were discussing official matters. He concentrated slightly and saluted: "Long live my emperor, Li Dongyang, my humble minister."
"Flat body."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Li Dongyang stood up and glanced at Wang Zhi aside.
"Why did Li Aiqing see me?"
Li Dongyang hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "About the prince."
When Wang Zhi heard this, he bowed and said, "My slave, please leave."
Zhu Jianshen nodded, waited for him to retreat, and then asked: "What's the matter?"
"Back to the emperor, the prince... is not happy." Li Dongyang said bravely.
Zhu Jianshen looked strange, "That's it?"
"Your Majesty, the prince is the foundation of the country. In the process of growing up, ministers can only play a teaching role. Only you, the emperor, can really play a key role." Li Dongyang cupped his hands and said, "The prince has not been in good condition recently. Please pay attention to it, Your Majesty."
"I understand." Zhu Jianshen nodded, "Is there anything else?"
"No, no more."
Zhu Jianshen said, "I just saw you looking straight at Wang Zhi, but do you have any objections to him?"
"I don't dare." Li Dongyang was shocked. He didn't expect that the emperor's eyes were so poisonous, and he discovered all this.
"It's because you don't dare, it's not because you don't have it, right?" Zhu Jianshen chuckled, "Tell me about it."
Zhu Jianshen still valued the person recommended by Li Qing, otherwise he would not have let him be his son's teacher.
Li Dongyang cupped his hands and said: "I am just a minister to the prince, and I dare not discuss the government affairs arbitrarily."
"You receive a salary from the imperial court, and you are also an official of the imperial court. You have the right to discuss political affairs." Zhu Jian smiled deeply, "I asked you to tell me, what are you afraid of? Are you afraid that I will punish you?"
At this point, Li Dongyang had no choice but to shirk it, so he had to hand it over and say:
"Wei Chen has no objection to Eunuch Wang, but... Eunuch Wang is too young after all, and his promotion speed is too fast... Uh-huh... Wei Chen's humble opinion."
Zhu Jianshen said: "So, you have doubts about my vision?"
"Wei Chen doesn't dare!"
"Does that mean you have objections to the opening of the Western Police Factory?"
"I don't dare!" Li Dongyang broke into sweat. Today he finally realized what it means to accompany a king like a tiger.
Zhu Jianshen said calmly: "Are you afraid, or are you not?"
"Wei Chen didn't dare, and he didn't." Li Dongyang cupped his hands and said, "Wei Chen thought that... the emperor was very wise to open the Western Police Factory."
"I'm used to only flattering." Zhu Jianshen's face turned serious.
Li Dongyang feels aggrieved. How can he say that everything is wrong?
"Then tell me, where is my wisdom?"
"..." Li Dongyang cupped his hands and said: "Taizu established the Jinyi Guards to supervise the officials, and Taizong set up the Dongchang to check and balance the Jinyiwei. Taizu and Taizong were wise;
However, as time goes by, the antagonism between one factory and one sanitation will gradually loosen, and they will even... collude with each other. "
Li Dongyang said: "The emperor has now established the Western Police Factory, which has effectively solved this problem."
Zhu Jianshen smiled and said, "Not necessarily. According to you, it was just a moment of wisdom. As time goes by, they will also fall in line."
"Absolutely not." Li Dongyang said firmly, "If the West Factory is powerful, then the East Factory and Jinyiwei will definitely unite. If the East Factory is powerful, then the West Factory and Jinyiwei will definitely unite. The same is true for Jinyiwei."
Zhu Jianshen was startled for a moment. He set up the West Police Factory just to attack the officials. He really hadn't considered this level. When Li Dongyang said this, he felt that he was wise.
With such mutual checks and balances, he can feel at ease for future descendants.
Zhu Jian said with a deep smile: "He is indeed a child prodigy, but he is knowledgeable!"
As he spoke, he sighed and said shamelessly: "Of all the court officials, you are the only one who has seen my good intentions!"
Li Dongyang hurriedly humbled himself and said: "Your Majesty is ridiculous. I am just a good reader of history books and have summarized some superficial experiences."
"Oh?" Zhu Jianshen became interested, "There are only factory guards in the Ming Dynasty. Which dynasty's history did Aiqing summarize?"
Li Dongyang's face changed slightly, and he was complaining in his heart.
Zhu Jianshen thought for a moment and came up with the answer: "Three Kingdoms, right?"
"I am guilty!"
Li Dongyang quickly confessed, comparing the two factories and one guard to Wei, Shu and Wu. It was really a serious crime to be on the line.
However, once the words were spoken, it was too late to regret them.
Zhu Jianshen laughed and did not pursue the crime of his gaffe.
Li Qing really has a unique vision, he is indeed a talent... Zhu Jianshen said: "Go and call the prince."
"I obey the order." Li Dongyang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and his heart finally returned to his stomach.
I couldn’t help but sigh again: Accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger!
