This sentence evolved from "If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight." Zhu Houzhao is telling his father that you can't protect these cabinet bachelors too much. Since they have achieved the position of cabinet bachelors, they should bear the responsibilities.

That must be borne, and this cannot be changed.

Of course, Zhu Houzhao also knew the difficulties of the cabinet bachelor. This was not the first time that the cabinet bachelor had faced such difficulties.

Every cabinet bachelor will face this problem. To put it bluntly, it is a matter of stance. Which side do you stand on? Many cabinet bachelors have resigned. Why? It’s not that they really don’t want to work anymore, but that they stand for the emperor.

On the opposite side, he stood with the civil servant group or the gentry group instead of choosing imperial power.

Sometimes, what the imperial power does is wrong. In order to show resistance, the cabinet bachelors will choose to resign at this time.

More often, there is a conflict between the imperial power and the power of the gentry. The civil servants below force the cabinet academicians to fight against the imperial power. Under such circumstances, if you choose the imperial power, you will inevitably be labeled as a traitor, and you will even be labeled as a treacherous official.

He was given various titles, such as "the elder of three pavilions made of paper, the sixth minister of clay sculpture". If he chose to stand on the opposite side of the imperial power, the cabinet bachelor would not be able to continue his job.

Farewell is the best choice, otherwise the only thing waiting for them is to be dismissed, and it will be the same this time.

If the gentry and civil servants group oppose to the end, then the three cabinet bachelors Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, and Xie Qian will be roasted on the fire. At this time, they need to make a choice. You have chosen to side with the emperor.

Or choose to side with the gentry and civil servants. If you side with the imperial power, then the label of traitorous official will definitely be indispensable.

If you are on the side of the gentry and civil servants, then resign and threaten! If the emperor shrinks, then the official position can be kept. If the emperor does not shrink, then really go home!

After glancing at his son, Zhu Youtang said, "Looking at you, it seems you want to change a few cabinet bachelors?"

"Those who know me say that I am worried and don't know me, what can I ask for?" Zhu Houzhao recited a line from "Guo Feng·Wang Feng·Su Li" in the Book of Songs. The meaning is very obvious, that is, they are very different and have nothing to do with each other.

In fact, this is what Zhu Houzhao thought. Reform is never easy. It requires people who share the same path. Even if they are not people of the same path, then they must be obedient.

If the cabinet ministers and the central ministers take the lead in opposition, how can we reform it? It is best for you to go home as soon as possible to avoid being disgraceful.

Even if Lanzhi blocks the way, I will get rid of it. This is the truth. If you are not on my side, then you are of no use.

"Alas!" After listening to his son's words, Zhu Youtang took a breath and said with a wry smile: "I can only take one step and see one step." After saying that, he waved his hand and motioned for Zhu Houzhao to step back. It was obvious that Zhu Youtang was in a low mood.

, he needs to be alone for a while.

"I'm retiring!" Zhu Houzhao bowed and saluted, and then withdrew. At this time, he naturally would not trouble his father here.

Looking at his son's back, Zhu Youtang felt a little complicated. He was a very good son, very good, a very good successor, and at the same time an ambitious and ambitious successor. He was the only son, and he was not the only son.

He has no choice. Sooner or later, the Ming Dynasty will be his. Even if he blocks him now, what will happen in the future?

Once he is gone and the country is in his hands, will he still do it? At that time, he really can't see the success or failure, and he can't help.

In fact, Zhu Youtang did not agree with everything his son did, but Zhu Youtang also knew that he could not correct his son or make him do what he wanted. When he was the prince, he also wanted to do something

A big undertaking. Thinking of this, Zhu Youtang sighed helplessly and worked with his son.

If it works, it's naturally good. If it doesn't, it can be regarded as a lesson to my son. I hope he can be more cautious in the future.

Zhu Houzhao naturally didn't know about his father's psychological activities, but he was still very happy to get his father's support and affirmation.

Naturally, the events of the morning court could not be concealed. After the news spread, it immediately caused an uproar and public opinion. Of course, it was mainly concentrated among the noble group and the gentry group. Ordinary people were very concerned about this.

This kind of thing doesn't make much sense, and ordinary people are even more concerned about the fact that the price of pork has finally dropped.

Countless memorials were sent to the palace, and there was a quarrel between those who were in favor and those who were opposed, and the cabinet became the target of public criticism.

Many civil servants hope that the cabinet can stand up and resolutely oppose this behavior. The nobles have taken advantage of their interests in recent years. Once a staff office is established, won't these nobles have to show off their power even more? In terms of interests,

Driven by this, many people have made choices. As for national interests, it is important to not put them on the stage and harm their own interests.

It's just that the three bachelors in the cabinet have never expressed their opinions. This is because they are not easy to do. If they don't agree, it will make His Majesty suspicious. Are you taking power?

No one can afford to wear the label of holding political power, but if they agree, then their reputation will be completely ruined. Besides, from the bottom of their hearts, the three cabinet elders also disagree. Under such circumstances, they are prepared to first

Look at the direction of the wind and refrain from expressing opinions for the time being. This is the right thing to do. At this time, a person stood up.

This person was the Minister of Revenue, Ji Zhong. He submitted a memorial, lashing out at the General Staff Office, discussing the national finances in detail, stating the dangers of redundant officials, and even mentioned the party strife in the former Song Dynasty.

One stone stirred up a thousand waves. After this memorial was published, it instantly became a slogan of the opposition party. In an instant, public opinion in the capital was fierce, and everyone wrote a letter to oppose it.

Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Youtang looked at his son, sighed and said, "See, it's not easy to do things!"

Zhu Houzhao disagreed, took a sip of tea, and then said with a smile: "Isn't this already expected? It's just a matter of staying in it. It will be announced in a few days. Hundreds of officials will submit a memorial, and most of them are in favor of establishing a staff office.

, My father complied with the will of God and the people and decided to establish a staff office. If this is not enough, what else can they do?"

Glancing at his son, Zhu Youtang's chin almost dropped to the ground. He looked at his son with a strange look. Is this still his son?

This is referring to a deer as a horse! This is telling lies with open eyes! This is too shameless.
