Chapter 1653: The Emperor's Throne

Liu Jin gave Emperor Hongzhi a good impression.

Eunuchs are internal ministers, which is crucial. After all, only such people can enter and exit the palace at any time. They serve the people in the palace, and at the same time, they are also the bridge between the emperor and the emperor.

Although Emperor Hongzhi was extremely strict with the eunuch after he ascended the throne, he knew better than anyone else that the role of eunuchs was crucial and was a crucial part of the pyramid of power in the Ming Dynasty, which no one could replace.

Among the many eunuchs in the Eastern Palace, who were both able to do things and loyal, Emperor Hongzhi only had a good impression of Liu Jin.

This time, it was not beyond Emperor Hongzhi's expectations. During the migration process, Fang Jifan must have made many suggestions, and the prince... was considered to be wise and was doing good. As for Liu Jin's role, it was implemented.

After all, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, and execution is crucial. A slight mistake or any selfish intentions of the person who executes may cause a huge chaos.

Emperor Hongzhi walked behind his hands, walked a few steps, and slowly said: "This proves two points. First, Liu Jin is a loyal and honest person. Second: He is responsible for the Sihai Commercial Bank. I heard that the Sihai Commercial Bank now has more than 90,000 people and 700 merchant ships of all sizes, but Liu Jin is doing things in a good manner and is in order. It can be seen that this person... is still quite talented."

Zhu Houzhao muttered in his heart, why did his father only praise Liu Jin but not him?

Emperor Hongzhi stood still and looked around his ministers.

He thought to himself that the king and his subjects are both interdependent and mutually engaging in each other. After all, there is a degree here, how to control it... the prince is afraid that there will be a lot to learn in the future.

But...it seems that this time is about to be ripe.

After he decided, Emperor Hongzhi said, "Since that's the case, according to my opinion, I will order Liu Jin to come to the palace and order Liu Jin to be the eunuch of the literati supervisor."

After hearing this, everyone was shocked.

Xiao Jing felt dizzy first!

Eunuch Bingbi...isn't this myself?

But the officials were immediately in an uproar.

Eunuchs who have always been the emperor's caring person, and this position is crucial.

Even... this not only requires the eunuch Bingbi to be absolutely loyal to the emperor, but more importantly... he is familiar with the emperor's thoughts.

Therefore, all the eunuchs who have written to the emperor have followed the emperor since the Eastern Palace, just like Xiao Jing, who has been with the current emperor for more than 30 years.

Now that His Majesty suddenly issued this order, he let the prince's caring person enter the palace and be in charge of the ritual supervision, this...

Emperor Hongzhi looked at the officials with a smile and said, "You guys must be wondering, why do I want to promote this Liu Jin, right?"

Liu Jian and Li Dongyang people seemed to have guessed something and bowed: "Your Majesty has a clear decision, and I dare not test the emperor's heart."

Emperor Hongzhi said: "What are you afraid of? You are all important officials, but my heart. The king and his ministers understood it and worked together to get the matters in the world. I will ask you..."

He stared at Liu Jian: "How about the prince?"

"Your Highness the Crown Prince...Your Highness the Crown Prince..."

The matter was really sudden, Your Highness...

How? This question is a bit complicated, and to be honest, even Liu Jian can't explain it clearly.

Emperor Hongzhi laughed again: "Can't you tell me the truth?"

Liu Jian tried hard to say, "Has your Majesty already made a clear decision? Your Majesty said just now that the prince is a wise prince. How does your Majesty think, the old minister thinks it."

The ministers in the palace were still shocked.

They were used to seeing Emperor Hongzhi every day, but suddenly... this decision made them completely heartless.

Zhu Houzhao also stood there blankly. No matter how stupid he was, he understood something, but... he seemed at a loss.

Emperor Hongzhi took all the reactions of everyone, and sighed, "I am old, my eyes are blurred and I am getting more and more unable to do my best. I am at the age of knowing my destiny and knowing my mind. Now the prince is in his prime and has made great contributions today. The only thing I am pleased with today is that there are successors in this country. The prince has the weaknesses of the prince and the strengths of the prince. If you say that he can move, he will do a good job and be more thoughtful than I think."

After pausing, he said again: "Let me pass the decree again, the Duke of Qi Fang Jifan... will enter the cabinet from tomorrow..."

After saying that, he slowly walked up to the Golden Luan without expression.

But... Fang Jifan entered the cabinet?

This is almost another shock.

Fang Jifan... He is not a civil official, so what qualifications are he qualified to join the cabinet?

But all this...is too sudden.

Even Fang Jifan was confused.

But after thinking about it carefully, I immediately realized that Emperor Hongzhi needed to make drastic moves and prepare for the prince to succeed to the throne.

And the prince's gangsters, no, among the confidants, Fang Jifan was undoubtedly the closest one. At this time, letting Fang Jifan enter the cabinet was to use Fang Jifan to stabilize the situation in the new dynasty.

After all... Now in the court, the Minister of War and the Minister of Personnel are both disciples of Fang Jifan. Among the civil officials, there are also some who came out of Xishan Academy. If Fang Jifan enters the cabinet, then these disciples can quickly gather together and stabilize the current situation.

Of course, this also shows the absolute trust of Emperor Hongzhi in Fang Jifan.

Now, Fang Jifan has a considerable authority. If he enters the cabinet again and becomes a minister, he will be somewhat powerful.

Obviously, Emperor Hongzhi was very relieved to Fang Jifan. On the one hand, the cabinet system of the Ming Dynasty was already extremely stable, and there was almost no powerful minister who could threaten the imperial power. On the other hand, it was his trust in Fang Jifan.

Fang Jifan did not hesitate.

All of this...it was paving the way for the prince to ascend the throne, so why didn't he understand the importance of it? So he turned his face and immediately said, "Thank you for your kindness, my son."

Emperor Hongzhi nodded with gratitude, then looked at the ministers with a smile and said, "According to the system of my Great Ming Ancestor, the emperor is the supreme. What is the priority of the supreme? It is just to respect the ancestors of heaven and law."

When he talked about the four words "Respect the Heaven and Fa Ancestor", he raised his hand and pointed to the plaque on the Golden Luan. Then, he said with a stern face: "If you can respect the Heaven and Fa Ancestor, you will take the safety of the world as your responsibility. If you can start a horse, you will be gentle and powerful, and will be powerful to the four barbarians. If you dismount, you will be kind to the subjects, recuperate the people, seek benefits from the world, and seek wars from the world to deter unjustly ministers. This will protect the country from danger and lead to the rule of the undisciplined way!"

Emperor Hongzhi opened his mouth, and he seemed to have a curse in his heart, so he slowly opened his mouth, biting every word very heavily.

Wherever he looked, he saw that some officials were calm, some were panicked, and some were sad, but he did not take these into consideration and continued: "I have been in power for thirty and three years. I have been respecting the virtues of my ancestors. So far, I am still safe. Although I have omissions, I also believe that I have made some profits for the world. I have read the history books. If the emperor lives for all dynasties, I will inevitably be foolish in my later years. After all, life will be exhausted. This is the destiny of heaven. Since the Emperor Jiazi, Emperor Taizu Gao was originally a commoner in the Jianghuai Dynasty and won the world. No one who has won the right world since ancient times is as good as our dynasty. Now the Ming Dynasty has inherited me, and it has been over 130 years. For hundreds of 130 years, the government and the country have been generally at peace. Why is it? It is nothing more than being a king, with awe and always having the thought of peace with the people."

Speaking of this, his eyes suddenly opened and waved to Zhu Houzhao, "Crown Prince, come close."

Zhu Houzhao was still confused, but he obediently walked up to the Golden Palace and came to Emperor Hongzhi.

Emperor Hongzhi took Zhu Houzhao's hand and looked at Zhu Houzhao seriously and said, "Those who are the king should be diligent."

Zhu Houzhao thought for a while: "But the previous emperor..."

Emperor Hongzhi stood up.

The former emperor was naturally Emperor Chenghua, the father of Emperor Hongzhi.

Emperor Chenghua was not diligent at all.

But, at this time, do you still dare to argue?

When Zhu Houzhao saw Emperor Hongzhi's murderous eyes, he shivered and immediately said, "My son, remember."

Emperor Hongzhi said again: "Diligence is just one of them. The most important thing is to be able to see clearly and distinguish right from wrong."

Zhu Houzhao nodded again: "My son is obeying the teachings."

Emperor Hongzhi said: "As a lord, you must also read history, use history as a mirror. How can a wise ruler in ancient times govern the world, how can a foolish ruler lose the world, imitate good monarchs and use a foolish ruler as a warning. This is also what you should do."

Zhu Houzhao thought about it...

Whenever he started to think, Emperor Hongzhi was anxious.

No one knows his son than his father. This guy's thinking is always easy to go astray. Once he starts to think about it, God knows what he will say next, so Emperor Hongzhi said sternly: "Do you remember it?"

Under this gaze, Zhu Houzhao shivered again in fear and quickly said, "Remember."

Emperor Hongzhi's face calmed down slightly, and then said, "The prince is intelligent and has a distinctive character. He is deeply loved by my heart. He will be able to inherit the great throne. In the future, he will rule the world. He will also give me a good reputation in the future. He will also have a good reputation for meeting the ancestors and ministers, and all the ministers, and others. He should work diligently, support the prince and govern the world."

Speaking of this...

Emperor Hongzhi calmed down.

If Emperor Hongzhi did not feel reluctant at all at this time, this would be a lie.

This is the position of emperor, and many people are thinking about it!

But Emperor Hongzhi took a breath and then said loudly: "I will move to the old palace and honor the emperor from afar. The prince will choose to ascend the throne on a day, succeed to the throne, and ascend to the throne. The prince... I will entrust this magical artifact of ancestors to you today. Are you willing to bear it?"

Is this still something to think about by Zhu Houzhao? He is so happy.

In the future...no need to look at people's faces?

He said without hesitation: "The father is very wise, so of course the sons will bear it..."

“…”

Damn it!

Fang Jifan, who was standing at the bottom, was completely convinced.

At this time, shouldn’t you be humble? It means that you are not capable enough and dare not bear it. If you give in, you will be willing to give in. At least you will be willing to be willing to do so.

What the hell is this understanding of justice?

Why do you think it seems that the prince can’t wait?
