Chapter 935: At a loss, His Majesty wants to rectify the situation!
Zhang Yuan bowed and responded: "I obey, Your Highness. I will do my best to live up to my trust."
Zhu Han turned to another aide: "Mr. Li, you are responsible for thoroughly investigating the movements of officials in the DPRK and China, especially those officials who have close ties with the Ministry of War or who have behaved abnormally recently. If anything suspicious is found, report it immediately."
Mr. Li cupped his hands and said, "Yes, Your Highness. I will investigate carefully and never let go of any clues."
Zhu Han nodded slightly, with a trace of approval in his eyes: "Very good, everyone must perform their duties and work together. Remember, our goal is not only to find the spies, but also to take this opportunity to clean up the Chao Gang and work for me.
This laid the foundation for the long-lasting peace and stability of the Ming Dynasty."
Everyone agreed one after another, and the atmosphere in the study suddenly became more solemn and tense. Zhu Han knew that the coming days would be full of challenges and changes, but he also knew that only by moving forward bravely could he live up to his trust.
At the same time, Zhu Biao was also making intensive preparations in the palace.
In the imperial study, Zhu Biao was discussing countermeasures with several loyal ministers. He looked solemn and said firmly: "My lords, this incident is related to the safety of our Ming Dynasty. We must work together to overcome the difficulties."
An old minister stood up and said: "What His Highness said is absolutely true, but the situation in the DPRK and China is complicated and people's hearts are unpredictable. We need to be careful to avoid falling into the tricks of traitors."
Zhu Biao nodded in agreement: "What your Excellency said is absolutely true. We need to proceed step by step and act cautiously. At the same time, we must also strengthen the supervision of the DPRK and the Central Government to ensure that every official can fulfill his duties and live up to the emperor's favor."
Another minister added: "Your Highness, I believe that in addition to strengthening supervision, we also need to broaden our talent channels and select those who have real talent, practical knowledge, and excellent moral character to serve as officials in the court to enrich our
Ming’s talent pool.”
Zhu Biao nodded in agreement: "What your Excellency said is absolutely true. Selecting talents is the foundation of the country. We must ensure that every person who joins the court as an official can do his or her best for the court and the people."
After the discussion was settled, Zhu Biao looked around at the important ministers present, and his eyes showed unquestionable determination: "My lords, this incident is related to the safety of the Ming Dynasty. We must act quickly without any slack. Uncle Han is out investigating.
, I will stabilize the situation in the DPRK and China and ensure that everything goes smoothly."
A middle-aged minister took a step forward, cupped his hands and said, "What your Highness said is true. We should go all out for matters involving the court. However, spies are lurking deeply, so we need to be more vigilant to avoid alerting the enemy."
Zhu Biao nodded slightly and said in a deep voice: "What you said makes sense. Not only do we need to strengthen daily supervision, we also need to set up a special operations team to collect intelligence and track down suspicious persons. This matter will be left to Master Li. You need to choose
A smart and capable person must ensure that the intelligence is accurate."
Mr. Li bowed down and accepted the order: "I obey the order and will do my best to live up to His Highness's high expectations."
At this time, another young minister hesitated for a moment and asked: "Your Highness, I have a suspicion. If there is a spy lurking in the court, it may be deeply rooted. How can we eliminate it completely?"
Zhu Biao's eyes were deep and he said slowly: "To completely eliminate spies, it cannot be accomplished overnight. We need to start from the system, strengthen the assessment and selection of officials, and ensure that every person who joins the court as an official is a person with both ability and political integrity.
At the same time, a more stringent supervision mechanism should be established so that every official can be exposed to the sun and have no place to hide."
When the young minister heard this, a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes: "Your Highness is far-sighted, and I have learned a lesson from you."
Zhu Biao smiled slightly, and then changed the topic: "However, although the system is good, execution is more critical. We need every official to fulfill their duties and jointly maintain the clarity and stability of the Ming Dynasty. Mr. Li, you need to keep in touch with Uncle Han
Close contact to ensure intelligence sharing between North Korea, China and the Ministry of War to form synergy."
Mr. Li once again bowed and accepted the order: "We understand that we must work closely with His Highness King Han to ensure the unimpeded flow of information."
Zhu Biao nodded with satisfaction and turned to the other ministers present: "My lords, as important ministers of the Ming Dynasty, we are responsible for the rise and fall of the country. This incident is not only a test for us, but also a demonstration of our loyalty and wisdom.
opportunity. I hope you all can work together to overcome the difficulties."
All the ministers stood up one after another and responded in unison: "We will do our best to live up to His Highness' high expectations."
After the discussion, Zhu Biao stayed alone in the imperial study room, secretly thinking about the next plan.
While he was deep in thought, an attendant hurriedly walked into the royal study and bowed to report: "Your Highness, there is an urgent message for His Royal Highness, King Han."
When Zhu Biao heard this, his heart trembled, and he quickly took the letter and opened it to read. In the letter, Zhu Han briefly reported the latest progress of the Ministry of War's investigation, mentioned some key clues, and asked Zhu Biao to strengthen the monitoring of relevant personnel in the DPRK.
After Zhu Biao finished reading the letter, he frowned, pondered for a moment and then ordered his attendants: "Go and tell Mr. Li to come see me."
Soon, Mr. Li hurried over and saw Zhu Biao's serious expression. He quickly asked: "Your Highness, is there any new progress on the part of His Highness King Han?"
Zhu Biao nodded and handed the letter to Mr. Li: "Uncle Han Wang wrote that some suspicious clues have been found at the Ministry of War and we need to strengthen monitoring in the court. You should start making arrangements immediately and make sure not to miss any clues."
Mr. Li took the letter, glanced through it hastily, and said, "I understand, I will do it immediately."
After Mr. Li left, Zhu Biao stood alone in front of the window, looking out at the deep night, his heart full of worry and determination.
At the same time, in the study room of the palace, Zhu Han was discussing the progress of the investigation of the Ministry of War with several close aides. Under the flickering candlelight, their faces looked particularly solemn.
"Your Highness, according to the latest intelligence, the spy suspected of selling military intelligence is probably lurking within the Ministry of War." A staff member whispered.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Zhu Han nodded slightly, his eyes blazing: "This person must be found out as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous. Mr. Zhang, do you have any new discoveries over there?"
Mr. Zhang bowed down and reported: "Back to Your Highness, I have stepped up surveillance on the Ministry of War and discovered that several officials have behaved abnormally recently. They often go out late at night and have contact with some unknown people."
When Zhu Han heard this, a cold look flashed in his eyes: "Very good, continue to monitor closely, and at the same time strengthen communication with other departments to ensure that the information is correct. In addition, notify Jin Yiwei and let them join the investigation, so as to form a joint force."
Mr. Zhang took the order and left, and the study fell into a moment of silence again. Zhu Han's fingers tapped on the tabletop, seeming to be thinking about a more profound layout.
At this time, another staff member, Mr. Lin, took a step forward with a bit of worry in his tone: "Your Highness, the matter of the Ministry of War is certainly urgent, but we also need to be alert to the movements of other forces in the DPRK. If this investigation touches some people,
interests, fear of changes."
Zhu Han nodded slightly, with unquestionable firmness in his eyes: "What Mr. Lin said is absolutely true. We must proceed step by step, not only to advance the investigation quickly, but also to ensure the stability of the court. Pass on the order and let the Jin Yiwei increase the number of important officials in the court."
Intensify surveillance, especially on those who have close contacts with the Ministry of War."
Mr. Lin bowed in response and was about to retreat when Zhu Han added: "Also, strengthen intelligence collection and not miss any signs of trouble. I want to know who is peeping in secret and who is ready to make a move."
Mr. Lin took the order and left, leaving Zhu Han alone in the study again. He closed his eyes and meditated, thinking about how to stay ahead in this complicated power game. Soon, a rush of footsteps broke the tranquility of the study.
, a guard hurried in, knelt down on one knee and reported: "Your Highness, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has summoned you urgently, please enter the palace immediately."
When Zhu Han heard this, he frowned slightly. Although he had doubts in his heart, he quickly got up, straightened his clothes, and hurried to the palace with the guards.
In the imperial study room, Zhu Biao had been waiting for a long time. Seeing his arrival, he hurriedly came forward to greet him: "Uncle Han Wang, is there any new progress in the affairs of the Ministry of War?"
Zhu Han shook his head and looked solemn: "There is no conclusive evidence yet, but there are many suspicious things. I have sent additional personnel to monitor the Ministry of War and notified Jin Yiwei to assist in the investigation."
Zhu Biao nodded, with a trace of worry flashing in his eyes: "Uncle Han Wang, although the affairs of the Ministry of War are important, the situation in the DPRK cannot be ignored. My father has tested me a lot recently, and it seems he has deep intentions."
When Zhu Han heard this, his heart moved and he said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, Your Majesty. No matter what His Majesty's plans are, we just need to do our best and do our part, and we will naturally win the Sacred Heart."
Zhu Biao sighed, with a hint of helplessness in his tone: "What Uncle Han Wang said is absolutely true, but the situation in the DPRK is so turbulent that if you make one mistake, you will be doomed."
Zhu Han patted Zhu Biao's shoulder and said sincerely: "Your Highness, you need to remember that as a prince, you must not only have the talent to govern the country, but also have perseverance. No matter what difficulties you encounter, you must
Stay calm and firm."
Zhu Biao nodded, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes: "What Uncle Han Wang taught, Biao'er must keep it in mind."
While they were talking, a eunuch hurriedly walked into the imperial study and bowed to report: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, His Royal Highness King Han, Your Majesty has a decree to summon you two to the Wenhua Palace immediately to discuss matters."
Zhu Han and Zhu Biao looked at each other, their hearts trembling. Zhu Han said solemnly: "Let's go, it seems that His Majesty has made a decision."
The two men followed the eunuch to the Wenhua Hall, where they saw Zhu Yuanzhang sitting on the dragon chair with a majestic look on his face. Seeing the two men arriving, he slightly raised his hand to signal them to come forward.
"Brother Han, Biao'er, have you two made any progress regarding the Ministry of War?" Zhu Yuanzhang's voice was low and powerful.
Zhu Han bowed and saluted, and replied in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I have sent additional manpower to monitor the military department and notified the Jin Yiwei to assist in the investigation. There is no conclusive evidence yet, but there are many suspicious things."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly and turned to Zhu Biao: "Biao'er, what do you think of this matter?"
Zhu Biao took a step forward, bowed and replied: "Father, I believe that this matter is of great importance, and we must find out the truth quickly to prevent future troubles. I have ordered Mr. Li to strengthen surveillance in the court and central government to ensure the smooth flow of intelligence."
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, a glimmer of approval flashed in his eyes: "I am very pleased that you two have acted prudently. However, this matter is not a trivial matter. You need to be more cautious. Brother Han, you are experienced and need more guidance."
Zhu Han bowed and responded: "I obey the decree and will do my best to assist His Royal Highness."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly, and then changed the topic: "There is another matter that I would like to discuss with you. The corruption of officials in the DPRK is increasing day by day, and I want to rectify the DPRK's program and revitalize the government. Do you two have any good ideas?"
Zhu Han and Zhu Biao looked at each other, knowing in their hearts that this matter was not trivial. Zhu Han said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I believe that the first step in rectifying the imperial code is assessment and supervision. A more stringent assessment mechanism should be established to punish those who neglect their duties. Severe punishment will not be tolerated. At the same time, we will strengthen supervision to ensure the integrity of officials."
Zhu Biao added: "My father and my sons believe that we need to open up more avenues for talents and not stick to one pattern. When selecting officials, we should use both ability and political integrity as the standard and break with family background. At the same time, we should strengthen the education and training of officials. , improve their administrative capabilities and moral standards."
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, a hint of approval flashed in his eyes: "What you two said hit the point. I will leave this matter to you two to jointly take responsibility. You must do your best and make no mistakes."
Zhu Han and Zhu Biao agreed in unison, knowing in their hearts that this battle to rectify the imperial court would be more difficult than the matter of the Ministry of War.
After exiting the Wenhua Hall, Zhu Han and Zhu Biao walked side by side on the corridor. The night was already dark, and the palace lanterns were swaying, adding a bit of mystery and solemnity to the quiet night.
"Uncle Han Wang, Biao'er still has many doubts about the matter of rectifying the imperial court." Zhu Biao said softly, with a bit of uneasiness in his tone.
Zhu Han smiled slightly and patted Zhu Biao on the shoulder: "Don't worry, Your Highness. Although this matter is difficult, as long as we work together, we will succeed. Please tell me your doubts."
Zhu Biao pondered for a moment and said: "Uncle Han Wang, the situation in the DPRK is complicated and people's hearts are unpredictable. How can we ensure that the reform proceeds smoothly without being blocked by those with vested interests?"
Zhu Han pondered for a moment and said slowly: "What His Highness said is absolutely true. The road to reform is bound to be full of resistance. We need to work step by step, first easy and then difficult, and advance step by step. At the same time, we must unite the honest and upright people in the DPRK and China to speak out together and form a
The momentum of reform.”
Zhu Biao nodded, with a trace of determination flashing in his eyes: "What Uncle Han Wang said is absolutely true, and Biao'er will definitely keep it in mind. But, how do we select truly talented people to serve as officials in the court?"
Zhu Han smiled slightly and looked deeply: "Your Highness, when selecting talents, the first priority is fairness and selflessness. We should break the family tradition and be eclectic. At the same time, we should strengthen assessment and training to ensure that every person who joins the court as an official is qualified for the job.
His job."
When Zhu Biao heard this, a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes: "Uncle Han Wang, I have great advice, Biao'er has learned a lesson."
The two were walking and talking. The night was getting darker, and the moonlight shone on the paths of the imperial garden, adding a bit of softness to the quiet night. Zhu Han's voice was low and firm: "Biao'er, reform cannot be accomplished in a day. It needs to be done in a day."
Persevere. But as long as we have the people in our hearts and the strategies in our hands, we will not be afraid of any challenges."
Zhu Biao nodded, determination flashing in his eyes: "What Uncle Han Wang said is absolutely true. Biao'er must put the people first, govern the country diligently, and live up to the expectations of his father and Uncle Han. However, how to ensure the law during the reform
Can it be implemented thoroughly without becoming a mere formality?"
