Chapter 1512 The New Emperor
The emperor takes turns doing it, one emperor and one courtier...
And the same is true in the harem.
Empress Zhang was born in an ordinary family, and her father was just a commander.
But the Guo family is the granddaughter of Guo Ying, the descendant of the founding meritorious service, this is the difference between nobles and ordinary people.
But the queen is so fierce that sometimes even Zhu Gaochi has to back away.
"It seems that this Guo family... is His Majesty's true love, or he wants to push her out to fight the queen, so as to balance the power in the palace!"
"Who knows!"
In the study, Fang Xing yawned, picked up the fan and shook it a few times.
"The queen is not a fuel-efficient lamp. If Mrs. Guo doesn't restrain herself, she will probably have bad luck in the future."
Huang Zhong admired the queen's methods very much, and thought that Guo was seeking his own death.
"I only pay attention to the prince and princess, the others are free."
Huang Zhong looked back at the door, and then said in a low voice: "Uncle, the crown prince's position is stable, the princess... According to the royal rules, the princess will have to wait a few years before recruiting a son-in-law!"
"The crown prince is not stable."
Fang Xing frowned and said, "Your Majesty has many sons, who doesn't want to be the future empress dowager? But among His Majesty's sons, there is no outstanding person, be careful!"
People's hearts are never satisfied, which can be seen from Zhu Zhanji's two sons.
After the change of Tumubao, the two emperors fought, and finally the restoration of Yingzong was successful.
"It's a bad debt!"
Fang Xing felt that the royal affairs were really troublesome!
...
Among all Zhu Gaochi's sons, Zhu Zhanyong is probably the most downcast.
"The king of Xinxiang County is also good, but why don't you let me be a feudal vassal?"
After becoming the king of the county, Zhu Zhanyong still refused to stay in the palace, so he asked for a special case and came to Zhixing Academy to attend classes every day.
Yue Baoguo glanced at him, and said angrily: "What are you showing off all day? Is the county king amazing?"
"Where did I show off?"
If it was someone else, Zhu Zhanyong would have to refute it, but Yue Baoguo couldn't. This is the school's favorite student, both Fang Xing and Zhu Zhanji are caring and caring students.
Zhu Zhanyong said depressedly: "The palace is so boring, at least I can toss about in the mansion as I like."
"Eat meat and drink every day?"
Yue Baoguo was a little envious. When he was growing up, the meals in the academy were a combination of meat and vegetables, which made him very dissatisfied who likes to eat meat.
Zhu Zhanyong smiled and said: "You will get bored if you eat it every day. The food in the academy is better."
Yue Baoguo didn't believe it, "I heard that the palace eats meat every day, and meat is eaten at night."
"Okay, someday I'll bring some out for you to taste."
Yue Baoguo was overjoyed when he heard it, and said, "For your sincerity, let me tell you. You can't just be a fan, it's because of restraint, um, restraint."
Zhu Zhanyong's complexion changed slightly, and he asked, "Where did you hear that?"
Yue Baoguo was still young, he was taken aback, and then said: "Others said it."
"who?"
"I won't tell you!"
Zhu Zhanyong watched Yue Baoguo run away in a flash, and couldn't help smiling wryly.
"This is the tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop!"
...
It's not just Zhu Zhanyong who wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop. Zhu Zhanji is very distressed now.
"I have seen Your Highness."
"Your Majesty Quan is too polite, please sit down."
The old man in front of him who salutes sternly is a well-known filial son in the Ming Dynasty. When Zhu Gaochi promoted him to be a scholar, he would first say that he was ignorant of political affairs and would harm the country's filial son.
Quan Jin insisted on finishing the salute, then sat down on the chair, and said with a straight face: "Your Highness, Your Majesty ordered your servants to accompany you to the East Palace."
Zhu Zhanji only felt that his forehead was throbbing and hurting. He forced a smile and said: "Mr. Quan is highly virtuous, this is my blessing."
Quan Jin said: "Your Highness, I think that I should be a gentleman and stay away from villains. If there are villains on your side, I will definitely scold you."
Zhu Gaochi had just given him the title of Bachelor of Wenhuadian, and he could be called a minister of state affairs. But he sternly refused, saying that he did not have the ability to take up the position.
And Zhu Gaochi is also very good, and said directly: I don't want you to be an official,
It's about you being an example.
So Zhu Gaochi ordered the officials to learn from Quan Jin, and then sent the old gentleman to Zhu Zhanji.
Son! Take a look at this old gentleman, it is the right way to learn to be filial!
After Zhu Zhanji and Quan Jin dealt with it for a while, they were relieved, and then ran away in a hurry.
...
"Rule the world with filial piety!"
Zhu Gaochi held up the memorial in his hand and said: "Jian Yi, you act cautiously, but you have lost your responsibility! What are you afraid of? Want to be harmonious? The officials don't need to be harmonious!"
Jian Yi went out to plead guilty, Zhu Gaochi frowned and said: "The Ministry of Officials wants to clean up officials from all over the country. As I said, Ming Dynasty doesn't need so many redundant officials. If there are fewer officials, the people's lives will be more peaceful, and there will be fewer court officials." Allocate some money and food... These are all people's fat and people's anointing!"
Jian Yi was ashamed, and Xie Yuanji also came out to plead guilty, and then all the officials collectively pleaded guilty, which was spectacular.
The fat on Zhu Gaochi's face trembled a few times, and he said earnestly: "Officials from all over the country must be selected. The greedy, incompetent, and vegetarians must be cleared out. Unnecessary official positions have been banned. Zhuqing, Daming is still very good. Difficult, I ask all the ministers to join hands, our monarchs and ministers are of one mind, okay?"
The officials responded one after another, and Zhu Gaochi said gratifiedly: "The enemies in the north are all gone. Now that the Ming Dynasty has risen all over the world, it is time to recuperate and recuperate. Everywhere must be persuaded to cultivate and go down to inspect. Those who are waiting to sit in the yamen as officials, Everyone should go home and farm!"
After Zhu Gaochi came to power, everyone thought that he would be as gentle as water, but who would have thought that Zhu Gaochi would make a few combined punches to make the people cheer while all the officials were stunned.
And Zhu Gaochi looked at this group of people, and while feeling proud, he was also a little tired.
The expected harmony between the monarch and his ministers did not come as expected, but the relatives became honest after being beaten with a sap.
The atmosphere was a bit stagnant, Xia Yuanji stepped out of the shift and said, "Your Majesty, Zheng He's fleet is ready, are you going to sea on time?"
Zheng He's going to sea was determined by Zhu Di when he was there, and many ships and goods were built for this purpose.
Zhu Gaochi said without hesitation: "Treasure ships go out to sea and spend a lot of money. They don't benefit the country or the people much, so stop. Let Zheng He sit in Jinling to guard."
"Your Majesty is wise."
During a burst of singing, Jin Zhong hesitantly let out a long sigh.
Treasure ships going to sea are not just for trade! The biggest purpose is to declare its prestige and maintain Ming Dynasty's deterrence against the sea.
Once it is cancelled, Daming will actually cut itself off from the sea and from those vassal states. What will be the consequences?
Amid Jin Zhong's worries, Zhu Gaochi smiled and said: "In the past, there were many disturbances in Yunnan and Jiaozhi, but now they are cancelled, and all those people are called back."
A lot of Yun/Nan and Jiaozhi were looted, especially Jiaozhi, which led to rebellion because of excessive looting. Zhu Gaochi has set things right.
Jian Yi asked, "Your Majesty, are the exiled officials also called back?"
Many officials of the Jianwen and Yongle dynasties were thrown in Jiaozhi and other places, so when Jian Yi asked, all the officials listened quietly.
Zhu Gaochi nodded and said, "Come back, let them go back separately."
At this moment, the ministers were delighted and somewhat disappointed.
It is good news to return to his original place of origin, but it is bad news that he cannot be restored to his original post.
Now that the emperor who treated officials harshly has gone, it is a good time to be an official!
The people present were more or less old in the place of exile, so they were immediately disappointed.
Zhu Gaochi squinted his eyes, wondering what was going on in his mind, and finally said: "The Ministry of Officials needs to screen out those who are unpardonable, remember to report them."
The ministers were shocked, knowing that the emperor was not blindly benevolent after all.
Give you hope, give you benefits, but the scale has to be grasped by me!
Except for the mentally retarded, no emperor is simple. (Tianjin Novel Network)
