In the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Youzheng was reviewing memorials and handling government affairs.
As winter approaches, the court has more and more things to deal with.
Just preparing for freezing and snowstorms is a big problem.
Although martial arts are prosperous in this world, not everyone is a warrior, and most of them are ordinary people.
Moreover, although the Ming Dynasty ranks among the six great dynasties of China, its national power is not actually strong. The people's life can only be described as moderate, and it is far from being called 'rich'.
If there are any more natural disasters on weekdays, it will make the already poor life even worse.
The amount of money the court spends on disaster relief each year alone is a huge amount, and the national treasury has long been unable to make ends meet and is overwhelmed.
Fortunately, the treasures that Xichang brought back from Dabai Shangguo last time were comparable to the tax revenue of the Ming Dynasty in two years, which has greatly alleviated this pressure.
At least for the time being, the court no longer has to worry about disaster relief.
This also made Zhu Youxiao very satisfied with Yuhuatian.
In addition to these few times, Yuhuatian has also been very effective in handling affairs. Now the court's prestige has greatly increased, and the martial arts people in the Jianghu have become much more honest. The number of cases caused by Jianghu people this month has also dropped off a cliff.
Seeing that the prestige of the imperial court is getting higher and higher and the situation in Ming Dynasty is becoming more and more stable, Zhu Youxiao is naturally very happy.
But a few days ago, Uncle Zhu ignored Wang and went to the palace to talk to him, telling him to be careful that Yu Huatian would become the next Wei Zhongxian.
This made him feel alarmed.
yes!
Although Yuhuatian is effective at doing things at the moment, his power is also getting bigger and bigger.
He had also heard that during this period, all officials in the imperial court were as fearful of the people in the West Factory as they did not dare to offend in the slightest, or even discuss in private.
It’s enough to show how strong Xichang’s reputation has become!
As the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Yuhuatian was regarded as his retainer and a knife in his hand, because Yuhuatian's power was given to him.
Although this knife was easy to use, he didn't want to be hurt by it.
Wei Zhongxian back then was an extremely obvious example.
When Wei Zhongxian was in charge of Dongchang, he had great power in both the government and the public. He became a member of Dongchang almost everyone in the court. He controlled the power of life and death of all officials, both civil and military. He even ignored the imperial power. He claimed to be nine thousand years old and arbitrary. Chao Gang.
During that period, imperial power almost became a decoration.
Zhu Youxiao didn't want this history to happen again to him.
However, it would not be appropriate to follow Uncle Wang's suggestion to dismantle the West Factory, or to suppress Yuhuatian without any reason.
After all, he has seen all of Yu Huatian's performance these days. Not only is there no fault, but he has merit, and the credit is great.
Zhu Wuwu and hundreds of officials in the court jointly submitted a memorial, saying that the so-called twenty-four major sins of Shenyu Huatian were completely fabricated.
He knows all this.
But he also had to worry about Wang Shuzhu's disregard for influence in the court, and had to worry about the thoughts of the officials.
The most important thing is that he is also worried that Yu Huatian will become the next Wei Zhongxian.
So after thinking about it, he decided to follow the advice of the officials and issue an order to recall Yuhuatian to the capital before making any plans.
Xichang certainly cannot be laid off without reason, but the expansion speed of Xichang should indeed be suppressed!
But Zhu Youxiao hasn't figured out yet what reason should be used to suppress it.
As an emperor, he naturally does not need any reason to do things.
But after all, Yuhuatian was loyal to him, and his work was successful, so he couldn't let Yuhuatian's heart go cold...
With these thoughts in his mind, Zhu Youxiao became more and more confused. In the end, he no longer even thought about reviewing the memorial, and smashed the memorial in his hand on the table with a "bang".
Then he raised his head, and when he noticed Cao Zhengchun who had been waiting respectfully beside him out of the corner of his eye, he became even more irritated and couldn't help but cursed angrily:
"You waste! If you could be of some use, why would I be so entangled!"
After being scolded inexplicably, Cao Zhengchun looked confused, but he didn't have time to think about it. He knelt down in fear and didn't dare to refute:
"Yes, I know that I am guilty. Please calm down your anger and take care of your dragon body. Don't get angry because of this useless slave."
Seeing this, Zhu Youxiao's mouth twitched. He didn't know how to get angry if he wanted to, and he couldn't help but feel even more depressed.
Finally, he couldn't help but sigh and said:
"I asked you to take charge of the East Factory just because I want you to check and balance the West Factory and prevent it from developing too fast. But it's good for you. In just a few months, you have been suppressed by the West Factory and can't hold your head up. Look at who you are now. Do you also know that in addition to the West Factory, my Ming Dynasty also has an East Factory?"
"Now the Iron Lord Prince Wang and his officials want me to abolish the West Factory. However, Yuhuatian has always been very disciplined in doing things, and the few things he has done recently have been done very beautifully. What do you want me to do?"
Hearing this, Cao Zhengchun immediately understood the reason for Zhu Youxiao's anger, and couldn't help but feel aggrieved.
He also wants the East Factory to grow and develop and suppress the West Factory.
But he really couldn't do the things Yu Huatian did.
He does not have the guts and courage like Yu Huatian, nor does he have the strength to defeat the Grand Master like Yu Huatian.
For example, in this matter of rectifying the world, if it were him, he would have been lucky if he could survive the first ambush by the money gang and other major forces.
How could it be possible to counter-kill Shangguan Jinhong, the great master, and then successively destroy the top forces in the world such as Tangmen, Mingjiao, and Wenjiabao, and become famous in the world?
How can normal people do these things?
Then Yuhuatian is a pervert!
You ask the old slave to compete with him. Isn't this embarrassing the old slave?
Cao Zhengchun felt extremely aggrieved.
Seeing his appearance, Zhu Youxiao became even more angry, but he also knew that it was indeed difficult for him to let Cao Zhengchun check and balance Yuhuatian.
After all, there are differences between people. You can't blame Yu Huatian for being too good.
But there was nowhere to start the fire, which made him extremely depressed. He waved his hand towards Cao Zhengchun and said irritably:
"Go down and see if Yuhuatian is here."
"yes!"
Cao Zhengchun felt relieved, but fearing that he would be scolded for no reason again, he bowed quickly and left the hall.
But as soon as he arrived at the entrance of the palace, a figure walked towards him and blocked his face.
"Who is he? He doesn't have eyes...ah?! Eunuch Yu is here! Please come quickly, the emperor has been waiting for you for a long time!"
Cao Zhengchun was about to get angry, but when he looked up and saw the silver-white python robe that was the only one in the entire Ming Dynasty, he quickly changed his face to a smile, stepped aside and saluted extremely politely.
Yuhuatian glanced at him and said calmly:
"Eunuch Cao is really loyal. As the owner of Dongchang Factory, he is always by the emperor's side. However, we, as errands, need to share the emperor's worries. Loyalty is very important, but ability is also very important."
After saying that, Yuhuatian ignored him and strode into the hall.
Cao Zhengchun's smile faded and he stood there, his face turning blue and white.
Doesn't Yu Huatian's words mean that he has no ability? The reason why he was able to become the owner of Dongchang, and his current status and power were all obtained by serving the emperor?
"Having ability is a good thing, but sometimes having too much ability is not necessarily a good thing!"
"We would like to see how you solve the current problem!"
Cao Zhengchun snorted coldly.
Zhu Wuwu and hundreds of officials jointly submitted a petition to the emperor to abolish the West Factory, so he naturally knew about it.
Even if the trees are beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy them.
Nowadays, the power of the West Factory has greatly surpassed that of the East Factory, and there is only one Dragon Protection Villa in the country that can rival it.
In this case, Zhu Wuli would naturally find a way to suppress Xichang.
He wanted to see how Yuhuatian planned to solve this matter!
I was introduced to a blind date at home, and my mother kept calling me every day to ask me to come and meet. Who knew that after we got in touch, she was hanging out at XSBN and called me to come to Banna to celebrate the Water Splashing Festival...
I arrived at about one o'clock last night, had a late-night snack with them, and then discussed it. They went out to play this morning, and I checked into the hotel by myself, but I might have to go shopping with them for a meal or something in the afternoon. These two days Make sure you have full attendance first, and make up for any shortcomings later.
