The eunuch waiting outside immediately ran in. "What are your orders, Your Highness?"
Zhu Biao banged the tea cup on the table and cursed angrily: "The tea has gone cold, don't you know how to bring in a pot of hot water?"
The young eunuch was so frightened by Zhu Biao's actions that he trembled. He nodded quickly and replied: "Yes, I will change my slave right now."
After saying that, he turned around and left, preparing to give Zhu Biao a pot of tea.
The prince has always been kind and kind, and he never beats or scolds these eunuchs. But today, I don’t know what happened to His Highness, and he got angry directly. This made the young eunuch feel very sad and did not dare to show any slightness.
But before he could walk out of the palace gate, he was stopped by the prince again.
"return."
The young eunuch followed the instructions and returned to the prince, "Please give me your instructions."
"Forget it, the tea will not be changed. You go and call Han Du to this palace." Zhu Biao waved his hand helplessly, and it was completely useless to vent his anger on these little eunuchs. He felt that 'the bell must be tied to untie it.
People', we still need to find Han Du.
Even if Han Du asked him for help, the worst he could do was go to An Qing and ask. If An Qing didn't remember Han Du, then he would have taken advantage of Han Du in vain, and secondly, he would have made Han Du give up.
In Zhu Biao's view, dragging Han Du along like this was not an option. He might as well take this opportunity to make Han Du give up.
As for what Anqing should do if he is interested in Handu?
Zhu Biao's mouth was smiling, and his mouth was on his body. If I said it was intentional, it was intentional, and if I said it was unintentional, it was unintentional.
When Han Du heard the prince's summons, he realized something.
As soon as he arrived at Zhu Biao's place, he asked with a smile: "Your Highness, are you willing to help me?"
When Zhu Biao saw Han Du arriving, his last desire to read the memorial disappeared. He put the memorial down casually. He waved his hand to the people around him to leave, and said angrily: "I am willing to help you ask once, but
You should be mentally prepared for what the outcome will be. Moreover, you must answer my doubts first."
At Zhu Biao's signal, Han Du sat down and looked at Zhu Biao calmly and said: "Your Highness, feel free to ask, I will tell you everything. As long as Your Highness remembers to ask, it will be fine."
Zhu Biao glared at Han Du.
Han Du felt like a spring breeze, as if he was not affected by Zhu Biao at all.
Zhu Biao held a memorial in his hand and walked back and forth a few steps, as if hesitating on what question to ask Han Du.
"You mentioned royal income and national income in your memorial. Is there any difference between them? Why did you talk about the two separately instead of talking about them together?"
Zhu Biao asked several questions in succession.
Han Du smiled and replied: "Your Highness, is this one question or several questions?"
Zhu Biao was about to explain, but Han Du interrupted him directly and continued: "But it doesn't matter. It is a problem for me to be your highness for the first time."
Zhu Biao breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the chair, ready to listen carefully to Han Du's explanation.
Han Du calmed down his thoughts and then said: "In His Highness's opinion, family is the country, and the country is the family. After all, it is the family and the world, so it is normal to think so. However, in my opinion, royal income and national income must be distinguished.
It's open."
"Why?" Zhu Biao just didn't understand this.
Han Du stretched out his hand and pressed it lightly, signaling Zhu Biao to calm down, "Actually, this is not the first time that I think so. Throughout the dynasties, there has always been a distinction between royal and national income. For example, taxes, taxes belong to the royal family.
Revenue, and taxes are the revenue of the court, that is, the country.”
Zhu Biao nodded, he also knew this.
However, in the more than ten years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there has never been a distinction between taxes and taxes. Of course, all taxes were collected, but in terms of ownership, they were all collected by the court and attributed to the Ministry of Household Affairs. When the royal family needed money, they went directly to the household.
It's all about department allocation.
"The imperial court collects taxes and puts them in the Ministry of Household Affairs. When the royal family needs to spend money, it is transferred from the Ministry of Household Affairs. Your Highness, this may not seem to be a problem now. But in the future, this will definitely become the royal family's responsibility.
A hidden danger." Han Du said decisively.
Seeing Han Du's seriousness, Zhu Biao asked in surprise, "Isn't it possible?"
Do you want to know something in your mind?
Nothing is difficult if you have money, but everything is difficult if you don't have money.
If Lao Zhu was rich, how could Bei Yuan be allowed to linger? He would have mobilized millions of troops to defeat him at once. Why did he allow his sworn enemy to sleep soundly next to his bed?
It's just because I'm unable to do what I want. To put it bluntly, it's just two words: no money.
Han Du sighed and continued to explain: "Now that the taxes are returned to the national treasury, it has no impact in His Highness' opinion. That is because the Emperor is so angry that he dominates the world. Whatever the Emperor has ordered, the court will do it no matter how difficult it is. The Emperor said
They will listen to your words no matter how unpleasant they are. Moreover, Your Highness has enough prestige to be able to overwhelm the ministers."
"But Your Highness doesn't think that the ministers will always be weak, right?" Seeing Zhu Biao deep in thought, Han Du continued: "The Emperor can be arbitrary, and His Highness can do the same in the future, but His Highness can guarantee the next generation and the next generation.
The emperor can do it too? If the ministers can be subdued by the emperor and his highness, can they always remain humble and cowardly?"
Han Du's eyes were shining brightly, and the words in his mouth seemed to confirm a fact, "If one day, the emperor does not have enough skills to subdue the ministers, and the ministers turn against him, what should the royal family do to deal with it?"
Zhu Biao refuted Han Du's words, but he moved his lips a few times, but in the end he could not say a word. Because he knew that what Han Du said was the truth, and he knew that as a well-read man, every dynasty in the past dynasties had
At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, all officials had absolute power, but at the end of each dynasty, almost all officials turned against the guest and were in a strong position.
This is a historical law and does not depend on personal influence.
Zhu Biao took a deep breath and asked: "Then what do you think should be done? Return the Fu to the royal family?"
Han Du chuckled, and a trace of contempt flashed in Zhu Biao's eyes. Although Zhu Biao was extremely intelligent and well-informed, he had not experienced the era of information explosion after all, and there was still some gap compared with Han Du.
Fu, how much money can this thing bring?
That guy Hongli won the praise of the people all over the world by his decree that he would never give more gifts. Is he really so generous? In fact, it was just gifts. He couldn't make much money in a year, so he didn't take it seriously.
That's all. Otherwise, if you ask Hongli to never give him any more gifts, the first one who says this will be beheaded.
