Chapter 105 Overbearing
Xie Qian's words can be regarded as outright remonstrance. To put it bluntly, he told the emperor that you cannot draw inferences of guilt. However, it sounds simple to say but difficult to do.
Now that those officials in South Zhili are suspected, it is impossible to let them go. They must be investigated. We must not listen to Xie Qian. If these people are allowed to investigate, there may really be problems. Xie Qian is like this
Of course, it is to protect the officials of the Southern Zhili Province. It may have a greater symbolic meaning, but it also represents the cabinet's stance.
Zhu Youtang glanced at Xie Qian, nodded slowly, and said in a soft tone: "Xie Aiqing is right!"
Turning back, Zhu Youtang's eyes swept across the minister's face, and finally fell on Zhu Houzhao, and then slowly said: "Prince, let's go there! The salt policy is of great importance, and Yangzhou is the most important in the salt policy.
There must be no mistakes at all. The prince is appointed as the chief envoy of the imperial envoy, the minister of the Ministry of household affairs is Zhong, the censor of the right capital of the Imperial Court, Shi Lin, and the commander of the imperial guard, Mou Bin, are the deputy envoys."
As soon as Zhu Youtang said these words, the hall fell silent. This decision really exceeded everyone's expectations. The prince is leaving the capital?
Although there is no rule that the prince is not allowed to leave the capital, the prince has not been out of the capital for some years. Your Majesty really wants to train the prince!
More importantly, they felt that His Majesty attached great importance to the Yangzhou case. Many officials looked at the bachelors in the cabinet, especially Xie Qian. Obviously, Xie Qian's words just now offended His Majesty.
After seeing a positive effect, it turned out to have a negative effect. When they turned to look at the right censor of the Du Procuratorate, everyone understood in their hearts that the commotion was too big.
The right censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate came forward to impeach, and many officials followed. Then Dongchang exploded that the entire Southern Zhili officials could not be trusted. The Yangzhou prefect actually wanted to use Dongchang to write the title. What happened to Southern Zhili?
?
At this time, Xie Qian, the cabinet scholar, stood up to speak for the officials of Southern Zhili. His Majesty had become suspicious, and no one felt at ease.
Dongchang is definitely not good, and neither are the civil servants of the cabinet. If Jinyiwei is allowed to go, Jinyiwei might get involved with Dongchang. The civil servants are not worried, so they send the prince. However, everyone is still not sure.
Although the prince has performed well in one aspect, he is still young after all! The case in Yangzhou is not a small one. If the prince fails, it will be bad.
Immediately, everyone felt relieved again. Looking at the lineup sent by His Majesty, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, Ji Zhong, came directly, Shi Lin, the censor of the right capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and Mou Bin, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, can be said to be very luxurious.
Of course, in addition to these people, there will definitely be attendants from the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Officials, etc. When the prince travels, the attendants should be at the level of minister. The left minister is unlikely, but the right minister is almost the same.
Zhu Houzhao did not expect that his father would really send him. Originally, Zhu Houzhao was still thinking about how to persuade his father. But now that he saw that it was no longer needed, Zhu Houzhao was overjoyed and stood up quickly and said: "I obey the order!"
Zhu Houzhao stood up to receive the order so quickly to prevent those ministers from standing up to dissuade him. Now he is not sure whether his father is acting on a whim or with firm confidence. No matter what it is, once his father is persuaded, then he will
Wouldn’t all the hard work be in vain? Now that Dad has said it, let’s finalize it as soon as possible. This time I must go to Yangzhou.
Looking at Zhu Houzhao with a complicated expression, Zhu Youtang nodded after a while: "The emperor is on an errand this time. He should learn more, see more, and listen more to the deputy envoys."
Zhu Houzhao nodded quickly: "Yes, my father, I obey your orders!"
It was finalized in the main hall, and it is unknown what other things happened later. After the early court had reached this point, there was nothing more to say, and they just left the court. Zhu Houzhao followed Zhu Youtang and left the main hall. Father and son
The two of them were silent all the way. After returning to the palace, Zhu Youtang finally said: "Zhao'er, do you know what it means to go to Yangzhou this time?"
Zhu Houzhao nodded and said with a serious face: "If I succeed, my prestige will increase. If I fail, my position as the crown prince will not be unstable, but my reputation will be greatly damaged."
Looking at Zhu Houzhao with a complicated expression, Zhu Youtang said angrily and funnyly: "Since you know it, why take the risk? If you are a king, just use people. If one person doesn't do well, use another person.
If another person can't do it, then find another person, and there will always be someone who can get things done. Everything must be done by hand, not by the emperor. Don't you understand this truth? "
Seeing Zhu Youtang's increasingly serious face, Zhu Houzhao's expression also became serious: "Father, this world belongs to our Zhu family."
It is not an exaggeration to say that the family is in the world, but it still feels a bit natural. Zhu Houzhao said so naturally: "If the ministers are like stewards who help manage the family business, these stewards are still
Unlike real stewards, who can be passed down from generation to generation, they only do it for a few years, so their first consideration will never be the interests of our family."
"The Yangzhou Salt Policy is both a beginning and a deterrent. I want everyone in the world to know that this world belongs to our old Zhu family."
"If they don't care about the things, I will do it. If they don't dare to do it, I will do it. If they dare not solve the case, I will do it."
Zhu Houzhao raised his head and looked at Zhu Youtang, and added in his heart: "Those they dare not kill, I will kill them!"
Of course, Zhu Houzhao also knew that he could not say this in front of his father, as the murderous intent was too strong.
Looking at his determined son, Zhu Youtang nodded, and then said: "It is a good thing for young people to be energetic, but have you never thought about what will happen if you fail?"
"Father, the sons and ministers are the sons of the father. How can the prince of the Ming Dynasty be weaker than others? Such an idea is absolutely unacceptable." Zhu Houzhao still said with a firm face: "Failure is impossible.
, if the crown prince fails, then the Ming Dynasty may no longer belong to our Zhu family."
After hearing his son's slightly unreasonable words, Zhu Youtang smiled and nodded: "If I wasn't worried about you going to Yangzhou before, I am worried about you going to Yangzhou now. No matter how kingly or domineering,
Use it according to the situation, use it according to the time, you just know this!" Zhu Youtang waved his hand and said with a smile: "Go and prepare!"
"Yes, Father!" Zhu Houzhao agreed, turned around and walked out, his steps very firm.
Looking at his son's back, Zhu Youtang smiled slightly. In fact, the question he asked was never about the Yangzhou case, nor how Zhu Houzhao planned to solve the Yangzhou case. It was not important. Zhu Youtang asked what to do if it failed. Zhu Houzhao
