After listening to what the young eunuch said, Zhu Jianshen put down the memorial in his hand and said, "Let him in."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
After a while, Jiang Yuan walked in.
After the ceremony, Zhu Jianshen asked: "Jiang Shangshu, is there anything you haven't said before the court meeting? I chased you here."
Before Jiang Yuan spoke, Zhu Jianshen thought that Jiang Yuan should be talking to him about the shipping company or the firearms department.
However, the development of things has exceeded Zhu Jianshen's expectations.
"Your Majesty, you left in a hurry just now, and I still have something to say."
Zhu Jianshen's face became more relaxed.
"Then Mr. Jiang, you can say it now."
Jiang Yuan said with a serious face: "Yes, Your Majesty, I am looking for Your Majesty to inform you about His Majesty's mausoleum. Now the Emperor's mausoleum has been roughly completed except for some details. Therefore, according to the etiquette and law system, it should also be completed." For Your Majesty, we will select a place for the mausoleum and start construction at a selected date."
When Zhu Jianshen heard the word mausoleum, he felt something was wrong. After listening to Jiang Yuan's words, Zhu Jianshen had a dull look on his face.
He turned his head and looked at Zhang Bao, who was standing aside. Zhang Bao also glanced at His Majesty the Emperor. There was no emotion on his face at all, because Zhang Bao didn't feel anything was wrong.
Because building a mausoleum for His Majesty the Emperor is also a relatively important political task. This cannot be done carelessly. Building it in advance also has the advantages of building it in advance. First of all, the budget of the Ministry of Revenue has kept up. If it takes a long time to build, the mausoleum will be more grand.
The ministers took the initiative to bring it up, which is of course a good thing.
But when Zhu Jianshen listened, he felt a storm in his heart.
I am not yet an adult, and these ministers are trying to find a place to bury me.
It's so unlucky.
Because of the bloodline matter, Zhu Jianshen has always kept silent about life and death, but now the matter of the mausoleum is on the agenda, and Zhu Jianshen has to face it.
Zhu Jianshen hesitated for a while, then said with a dry smile: "I probably don't need it now, Jiang Shangshu, let's talk about this later."
"The matter of His Majesty's mausoleum is also a major matter related to the country. It should be repaired at this time. Your Majesty, there is no need to have too much fear in your heart." Jiang Yuan said seriously.
Listening to Jiang Yuan's words, Zhu Jianshen was extremely unhappy. If Jiang Yuan hadn't done a good job as Minister of Industry, Zhu Jianshen would have sent someone to drive him out.
"Let's talk about it later, let's talk about it later..." The smile on Zhu Jianshen's face looked a little embarrassed at this moment.
Jiang Yuan sighed.
"Your Majesty, this matter is really a national matter. If your Majesty has some taboos, I can tell the matter during the court meeting and let the officials discuss it."
"But I am not yet eighteen years old. It is somewhat too hasty to talk about this matter now. In my opinion, it is not too late to talk about this matter when Chenghua is thirty years old?"
The Ministry of Industry is responsible for many matters such as water conservancy, land, and workshops. But in Jiang Yuan's view, the most important responsibility is to build the emperor's mausoleum. He is now in his fifties. If he delays it for another few decades, can he still do this job? It's his turn, it's a matter of two things. Jiang Yuan is an "honest and responsible" person, and there is no ambiguity in what he should do.
"Your Majesty, don't think about it anymore..." Jiang Yuan asked next.
"I still feel that it is too hasty now, Jiang Shangshu, don't mention this matter anymore, let's focus on the tomb of the Supreme Emperor..."
After sending Jiang Yuan away, Zhu Jianshen didn't react for a long time.
In the afternoon, Li Xian also came to Qianqing Palace to ask for an audience with the emperor.
When he learned that Li Xian asked for a meeting, Zhu Jianshen knew that Li Xian came because of Yu Qian's affairs.
After Li Xian finished his salute, as expected, the first thing he said was.
"Your Majesty, do you really agree to Yu Taibao's resignation?"
Li Xian is a smart man. Of course he knows that Yu Qian's departure from the center of power is a certainty, but Li Xian thinks that after Yu Qian leaves and takes over Yu Qian's position, he must highlight himself at this critical moment.
In fact, Xu Youzhen was not in the capital, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that His Majesty the Emperor still preferred the mature and prudent Li Xian to accept the position of chief assistant of the Central Committee.
Zhu Jianshen paused for a moment after hearing this, and then said firmly: "Yes."
"However, I also want to tell Li Fuchen the truth. Ever since I became sensible, I have kept telling myself that the Ming Dynasty cannot fail to the Taibao, and I will never fail to the Taibao. What I am doing now is more or less better than the Taibao. I was a little dissatisfied, but I still did it. I agreed to Yu Taibao's resignation. On the one hand, it was indeed for the sake of the government. On the other hand, and the most important reason, I didn't want Yu Taibao to be too tired."
"After he resigned, if he was willing to live in the capital, he would live in the capital. If he was willing to go back to his hometown to see it, he would go back to his hometown to see it. The eaves are low and the grass is green on the stream. Wu Yin is very charming when he is drunk. Whose old lady has white hair? ? The eldest child is hoeing beans to the east of the stream, while the middle child is weaving a chicken coop. What I like most is that the younger child dies, lying down at the head of the stream peeling lotus pods."
"This is Yu Taibao's future life..."
"He has already paid enough for Ming Dynasty, he shouldn't work any longer..."
Zhu Jianshen was full of affection when he spoke. When talking to a smart person like Li Xian, Zhu Jianshen certainly didn't have to hide it. Only by explaining clearly can Li Xian feel better.
After hearing this, Li Xian sighed: "Your Majesty, you have worked so hard. Your Majesty, Yu is an upright official and has no wealth. How can he live the comfortable life your Majesty said? I sincerely ask your Majesty to be kind to you." Taibao."
Zhu Jianshen smiled when he heard this: "Don't worry, I have already made a decision in my heart..."
Yu Qian's resignation was the first major event that happened in the Ming Dynasty in the 14th year of Chenghua.
The turmoil in the court lasted for a month.
His Majesty the Emperor repeatedly rejected Yu Qian's request to resign, but Yu Qian was more determined in his desire to resign and return home, and refused His Majesty the Emperor's invitation to stay again and again.
Finally, in March of the 14th year of Chenghua, Yu Qian was able to resign and return to his hometown in Qiantang.
However, the issue of treatment for Yu Qian when he retires and returns to his hometown has been discussed and the specifications have been set.
Originally, according to the system, officials who retired and returned home could only enjoy half salary, but Yu Qian broke the rules and enjoyed full salary. Even if he retired at home, he also enjoyed the full monthly salary of a first-class official, and Yu Qian was given participation benefits. He has the power to manage political affairs, and his letters and memorials can reach heaven directly...
As the emperor of the Ming Dynasty and a student of Yu Taibao, Zhu Jianshen privately rewarded him with thousands of taels of silver and dozens of servants.
Of course, the capital residence given by the emperor was also retained.
Zhu Jianshen did not miss the necessary farewell banquet. All officials above the third rank of the court attended. Zhu Jianshen personally presided over the ceremony in the Huagai Palace.
In Qiantang County, at the beginning of the new year, under the instruction of the imperial court, they began to build shrines for Yu Qian. In small Qiantang County, there are five shrines built by the government and six shrines built by the people voluntarily...
