Chapter 45

: Willing to Delegate Powers, Reluctant to Delegate Powers

Lan Yu is now extremely popular. When Tang He is idle and Feng Sheng is under suspicion, Lan Yu seems to be the flag of the imperial military. Even Fu Youde cannot compare with him. After all, Lan Yu is the prince's confidant.

Zhu Xiongying didn't say much about this. He was still very busy, taking stock of his own troops.

Zhu Biao returned to the East Palace and came to Zhu Xiongying's bedroom. He took the note written by Zhu Xiongying and his expression became strange.

After coughing, Zhu Biao asked, "Ying'er, I remember that my father only gave you the Four Guards of Jiangyin, right?"

Zhu Xiongying nodded and then said, "In the past two years, Grandpa Huang has given me some control rights one after another. After I received the military talisman, I was so busy that I forgot to return it."

Zhu Biao found it funny and said, "This Zhenhai Guard belongs to you now?"

"I only take charge of the Fujian Dusi, and I don't care about the Fujian Dusi." Zhu Xiongying said with a smile, "Father, I will only take the navy now."

The Dusi, also known as the Dusi Commandery Division, was the highest local military leadership organization in the Ming Dynasty and was actually equivalent to a military region.

Under the capital department there are the Guards Commanding Department, the Thousand Household Office, and the Hundred Household Office.

There are more than 5,000 people in each guard, divided into five thousand-household stations in the front, back, left, right, and center. The thousand-household stations are further divided into ten hundred-household stations, with 112 people in each hundred-household station. Each guard station is stationed in peacetime and in wartime.

They were ordered to attack and defend. During wartime, the imperial court temporarily ordered generals, not all to direct operations.

Zhu Biao thought it was funny, and then he looked seriously, "You can stretch your hand far enough. The Military Governor's Mansion has a guard station for you."

It's really like this. Zhu Xiongying is not embarrassed, "The various divisions and guards are too separated, and the military governor's office has its own jurisdiction. Father, I am only in charge of the navy, only the navy close to the coast. This is close to

I won’t touch any of the naval forces in the world.”

"It's your fault that the navy couldn't get the ship." Zhu Biao said angrily, "The affairs of the Longjiang Shipyard belong to you now. A few days ago, I remember someone from the Ministry of Industry reported it.

The Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Rites also joined in the fun. The emperor's grandson took charge of the military and went to make firearms. He also had a lot of money on hand."

Zhu Xiongying asked with a smile, "Did Grandpa Huang let them go to jail?"

Zhu Biao was also happy, and then said, "After a few beatings, there is no need to go to jail. What those people said is reasonable. The emperor's grandson touched a lot of things. But your emperor's grandpa also said that he gave the military power.

Naturally, there is no taboo. In the final analysis, it is still those people from the Ministry of Household Affairs who are keeping an eye on your Shipping Department."

Zhu Xiongying was speechless, "Father, it's not just the household department, you also have a crush on my shipping department."

"Asshole!" Zhu Biao said angrily, "Your Shipping Department? This is the Shipping Department of the imperial court! I will take it back after a while. Now the imperial treasury is empty. Take good care of the Shipping Department, and I will have more in Ming Dynasty.

Pay some taxes."

I have just achieved some results here, and I am about to be picked.

Zhu Biao didn't care and continued, "Your grandpa Huang also means the same thing. It will cost a lot to move the capital, and the court will have to use troops. We still need to take the navy back, or make it bigger. You can use those naval forces if you like."

"

"Father, I'm your biological son!" Zhu Xiongying said angrily, "Navy...forget it, I already knew I couldn't keep the Ship Division. But Father, our Ship Division can make money.

, you can bring back spices and precious stones from various places in Southeast Asia, and make a lot of profits. If the court intervenes, you must pay attention to those officials."

Zhu Biao nodded, and then became very confident, "Your Imperial Grandfather is not soft on those corrupt officials. The administration of officials in the past two years has been better. You still need to pay attention to what you should pay attention to."

The main reason is that corruption was so serious during the Yuan Dynasty, so even after the founding of the Ming Dynasty for 20 years, the officialdom was not very good, even if Lao Zhu killed corrupt officials without mercy.

In fact, Zhu Xiongying also understands that, let alone today's era, even hundreds of years from now, corrupt officials will still be inevitable.

Zhu Xiongying thought for a while and said, "Father, since you have also seen the benefits of the Shipping Department, I believe that if the imperial court takes over, it will definitely be better than me making a small fuss. If we just further open the maritime ban, my father will do more."

These things. Furthermore, once the imperial court takes over, the Navy must also pay attention."

Zhu Biao nodded and said, "Navy, you'd better take it. My father only wants to be in charge of shipping, and I don't want to interfere with the navy."

"My biological son, I am your biological son!" Zhu Xiongying said anxiously, "Although I have a lot of navy, I never miss the water or sea transportation, nor the food and grass for the frontier army.

There is nothing to delay the Ministry of War, I am just busy suppressing Japanese pirates."

Zhu Biao sneered, looked at Zhu Xiongying and said, "You are not just suppressing Japanese pirates and destroying pirates. How many Jinyiwei people have left over the years? Many people have also gone to Nanyang, Japan, and Korea because of you."

Seeing Zhu Xiongying smirking, Zhu Biao said angrily, "If you hadn't been so troublesome, Wang Zhuan of Goryeo should have given him a posthumous title. This has been dragging on for two or three years, and the Ministry of Rites has had a lot of headaches."

This Wang Zhuan is the King of Goryeo, and he has been dead for more than ten years. It stands to reason that this King of Goryeo has accepted the canonization of the Ming Dynasty, which means that when he dies, he will definitely receive the posthumous title given by the Ming Dynasty.

It’s just that in the past few years, Wang Zhuan was on both sides of the world. While accepting the canonization of the Ming Dynasty, he was flirting with Bei Yuan. In fact, Wang Zhuan, like the previous King of Goryeo, lived in the shadow of the Yuan Dynasty. But this man also once rebelled

Yuan Dynasty, but still regarded itself as a vassal of the Yuan Dynasty.

In fact, in Goryeo today, the pro-Yuan forces are still huge, and the civil strife is serious. In the seventh year of Hongwu, he was killed by eunuchs and guards.

Wang Zhuan, who had been dead for more than ten years, was buried, but the Ming Dynasty never gave him a posthumous title. In the past, the Ming Dynasty and Goryeo were at odds with each other. Things have gotten better in the past two years, but Zhu Xiongying seems to have a plot against Goryeo, and Lao Zhu naturally also

There is no intention of giving a posthumous title.

Let’s put it off for now. If Zhu Xiongying really wants to do something, Goryeo will be in civil strife and kill the king. This is one of the reasons why Ming Dynasty sent troops to help bring order to the chaos!

After chatting for a while, Zhu Xiongying suddenly asked, "Father, if you ascend the throne and your ministers go around cultivating their wings and meddling in military affairs, will Father accept it?"

Zhu Biao was stunned for a moment, then said, "Then you have to be careful, I am different from your grandpa."

This is also Zhu Biao's truth. As the prince, he has great power in terms of military affairs. He really has a lot of generals and military power. There are many people in the six departments of the imperial court who are his subordinates. They are basically the same as Lao Zhu.

team.

As a prince, he felt safe and had astonishing powers. But Zhu Biao asked himself that if he ascended the throne, he would definitely not be able to do everything his father had done.

Zhu Xiongying was not surprised at all by Zhu Biao's answer. After all, having tasted the taste of power, it is really difficult to let go. What's more, for the sake of the throne, the love between father and son and brotherhood were often lost.

It is the most abnormal behavior to delegate power to the prince like Lao Zhu without any taboo. Sometimes Lao Zhu is basically the mechanism of feudal small farmer thinking, and he only hopes to hand over the family business to his son.

Of course, in Lao Zhu's eyes, this son could only be his prince Zhu Biao.

Zhu Xiongying just smiled and said nothing more, and there was no need to say anything on these matters.

Zhu Biao remembered something and said, "In a few days, follow me back to my hometown to worship my ancestors. There are some things that I should talk to my ancestors. There are also many things in the court. If you have someone, please give me some advice first.

I'm afraid there will be a big storm."

Zhu Xiongying nodded, mainly because there would definitely be great resistance to moving the capital.

The nobles of Huaixi did not want to leave Yingtian Mansion, and Fengyang's hometown in Yingtian Mansion was relatively close. Among the civil servants of the imperial court, in fact among the Ming Dynasty, the civil servants were still dominated by the Zhejiang Civil Service Group.

Even if some cleaning up has been done, the north was previously ruled by the Mongols, and the literary style was not as prosperous as the south. Moreover, since the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the land of Yanyun has been separated from the control of the Han family. The folk customs or in the hearts of ordinary people, many people have a negative impression of themselves.

Whether you are Han or not, you have no sense of belonging at all.

This is an influence that lasts for hundreds of years, and people's hearts cannot be won over overnight.

So if we leave the prosperous Yingtian Mansion and go to the depressed Northland, both civil servants and nobles will definitely object. When the time comes, it may be Lao Zhu who once again launches iron-blooded high pressure and massacre.
