"First calm people's hearts, reward the nine sides, reduce taxes in disaster-stricken areas, use work as relief, establish the emperor's grandson, go out to study, and you will be my teachers.
Once the court is stable again, you can announce that you will appoint wise men, fill various official positions, send out signals, and do not rush to implement them. Finally, you can make the queen... If I am not here, I will be the queen mother! Ahem! Ahem!"
After Wanli said a few words in succession, he coughed violently again.
This Tuogu meeting basically ended here. The prince and Concubine Zheng stayed, and the others followed the eunuch out of Qianqing Palace.
Huang Jiashan, the Secretary of the Ministry of War, glanced at Fang Congzhe, the chief civil servant, and said: "Chief Assistant, in the pre-Qin Dynasty, the Mohists and Confucians did not deal with each other. Is it feasible to use Mohism to guide the current situation?"
"I think it's okay. Mo Zhai was a figure from 2000 years ago. He is considered a sage for us, so he can certainly be used, especially for what the Emperor Taisun said about being an official..."
The head of the civil service did not resist Mozi's theory.
Li Ruhua, the Minister of Household Affairs, and Huang Kezuan, the Minister of Criminal Affairs, exchanged a few words with Zhu Youxiao.
"Congratulations to the great grandson in advance."
"Juniors will have to learn from two more teachers in the future."
"Ah! I'm scared, but I will try my best." The two ministers showed surprised expressions.
It stands to reason that the emperor's grandson should come out of the cabinet and learn Confucian classics from the great Confucians. If he really studied finance, arithmetic, Ming laws, reforms, etc., it would be of great benefit to the country and the people, but he would be criticized by the officials!
"Tolerant and inclusive, although I am young, I hope to work hard in this direction. I hope the teacher can give me more guidance in the future."
"Old minister, I will certainly live up to my expectations!"
They also resigned.
Zhou Jiamo, the official minister, left alone.
Today he lost some face and felt a little unhappy, partly because of Zhu Youxiao, and partly because the information he received was inaccurate.
"The information given to me by the Donglin Party is not accurate, but the Crown Prince still expected it. I am afraid that this Crown Prince will have to learn from righteousness..."
Zhou Jiamo has a close relationship with the Donglin Party and feels that he will make a fool of himself if the information about the East Palace obtained from the Donglin Party is inaccurate.
The British Duke Zhang Weixian did not walk with the civil servants. He stopped for a moment and fell into deep thought.
"The emperor's grandson has become a blockbuster if he doesn't sing, completely reversing the negative impression."
"This should have been prepared in advance... It was probably discussed between Emperor Wanli and the emperor's grandson."
"Wanli was going to entrust the orphan to Zhu Youxiao, and the grandfather and grandson prepared words to let the ministers witness Zhu Youxiao's intelligence..."
"The Ming Dynasty is so lucky!"
Zhang Weixian is the leader of the martial arts, and his position is not like that of the Donglin Party, which wants the emperor to be the hands-off boss. He is very pleased with Zhu Youxiao's intelligence and ability.
Seeing Zhu Youxiao who was communicating with the two ministers of the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Justice, he thought a lot.
The Ministry of Husbandry and the Ministry of Punishment are very important, but military power is the most critical...
Since Tumu Fortress, Wu Xun has declined and civil servants have risen sharply. Nowadays, many military powers are not in the hands of the royal family or Wu Xun, but in the hands of civil servants... I hope this matter can be handled well and will not fall into the water like Emperor Zhengde.
.....
......
Not long after Zhu Youxiao returned to Ciqing Palace, his father Zhu Changluo also came back.
Everyone in the palace knew that Wanli personally announced that the emperor's eldest grandson would be the emperor's grandson. There were no outsiders in the palace for the time being, and many attendants from Ciqing Palace came to congratulate him.
Zhu Youxiao remembered that many of these people once worked for the most powerful Concubine Zheng in the palace. Some people spied on their father for Concubine Zheng, and even arranged to slander and humiliate themselves.
The original owner was young, had a weak personality, and was disliked by his father, which meant he condoned these behaviors.
But now the situation has changed, and their faces have also changed.
Brother Steel once said that appearances are complicated and cannot be trusted, you only need to believe in people’s desires.
These people go 180 degrees for the sake of desire, which looks very shameless, but it also shows that they have desires and have desires for themselves.
If you want something from yourself, then use the Mo family's "mutual benefit". If I want to bring benefits to them, they will also protect and fight for my interests.
Since news from Ciqing Palace can be spread out, news from other palaces must also be spread in.
Glancing at them, I took note of those who insulted me and congratulated me, and which ones were repeated. These people had something to do with this, and they themselves felt uneasy. Letting them do some work would give them some peace of mind, right? <
/p>
After the servants left, his father Zhu Changluo finally came towards him.
The prince wants to wait for the servants to leave on their own before he can speak his true feelings to his son, instead of leaving immediately when the servants see the master’s intention. This shows that the prince’s father is usually very soft.
"You came back directly from Qianqing Palace?"
"Yes, I came right back."
"You've been reading these past few days and haven't you met anyone you shouldn't have met?"
"Except for us in the palace and in the inner study, I haven't seen anyone else."
"How dare you say so much in front of His Majesty!?"
Zhu Changluo was angry and shook his head. When he knew that Zhu Youxiao did what he wanted today, he was not angry at all. Even he had been cautious in front of Wanli for so many years. This big boy is really brave.
Seeing his father angry, Zhu Youxiao sighed in his heart again: He has never been liked by his father since he was a child, and he didn't get a word of praise from him today, but he still treats his father wholeheartedly. I want to help you with the dangers of the red pill case.
, but can you do it?
Suddenly, the father in front of him sighed. Under the angry mask on his face, one could see the exhaustion and helplessness.
"In our palace, there are many subordinates of Concubine Zheng and others... As a father, not only can't he handle it, but he also has to be careful. He has not been able to tell the truth for so many years."
Zhu Changluo lowered his voice and leaned closer and said: "My son did something today that I wanted to do but didn't dare to do. You are braver and smarter than me."
Looking at my father's expression, I know that this is absolutely true.
"I deliberately ignored you before because my father failed to protect you."
That’s it!
I always thought that not being liked by my father was because I was not favored.
In fact, I should have thought long ago that I am not liked, and my brother Yujian is even less liked. This is obviously not because I don’t want to establish myself, but because I have other reasons.
Seeing his father, who was less than forty years old, with faint wrinkles on his face, Zhu Youxiao felt a little heartbroken from the bottom of his heart.
Later generations may only know that Emperor Taichang Zhu Changluo was the "January Emperor", but they did not know that he was almost the prince in the most difficult situation except Chenghua.
"My son, the emperor's eldest grandson and the emperor's grandson are just one word different, but the responsibilities on his shoulders are much heavier. You must be careful."
"Are you careful about criticism from others? Maybe you should be careful about this in the past, but now you should be careful about your diet and sleep."
"That's a good reminder. I will arrange for reliable people to pay attention to this matter."
"Reliable people? Are there really any?"
"Dad, I am very familiar with the palace, and there is almost no one who is reliable."
"..."
Zhu Youxiao was speechless for a while, but suddenly his eyes flashed: "Father can be a shoemaker."
"Shoemaker?! Do you want to trick dad? If I become a shoemaker, won't your kid also become the shoemaker's son!?" Zhu Changluo was so angry that he wanted to laugh.
"Hahaha, it's good to be the son of a shoemaker~ But what I want to tell dad is that in history, the shoemaker in Jixian County was ambitious, unyielding, and especially kind to talents."
"Oh?" Zhu Changluo quickly racked his brains to think about which Jixian shoemaker it was...
