Chapter 145 The man is determined to defend the territory and open up the frontier
Wu'an Palace is one of the places where Zhu Youjian meets ministers these days. After a few days of hard work, Zhu Youjian now has more places where he dares to go. In addition to Qianqing Palace, Wenhua Palace and Wu'an Palace, they are basically him. This is where the new emperor of the Ming Dynasty summoned his ministers.
Jiang Wan was at the Qianqing Palace, Jiang Wan was at the Wenhua Palace, and Jiang Wan was at the Wu'an Palace.
However, he did not expect that one day he would be summoned by Zhu Youjian in Wu'an Palace.
It is not the kind of summons that a prince summons to his counselors and subordinates, nor is it the summons of a king to his personal guards, but the summons of an emperor summoning his ministers.
"In the past few days, I have been thinking about how to arrange for you and the people in Tingyulou!"
Zhu Youjian's face turned a lot more rosy. Apparently, after his daily life and diet were safe, Zhu Youjian had a good rest, and he really began to feel and behave like an emperor.
"Your Majesty, Jiang Wan did not enter the Ten Princes' Mansion just for the sake of being a high-ranking official and rich in salary!" Jiang Wan bowed her head and replied: "When I first met Your Majesty, Jiang Wan said that, and today, Jiang Wan still says the same. !”
"Isn't a professor at the Royal Palace an official position?" Zhu Youjian smiled slightly: "pedantic!"
Jiang Wan was a little silent. In his heart, these professors from the Tenth Prince's Palace were really not considered to be officials. They were of no rank or rank. At best, they were just a disciple of Zhu Youjian. Although in his heart, he regarded himself as a "counselor". "In such a position.
But now it seems that since Zhu Youjian ascended to the position, as a counselor, apart from protecting his safety, he seems to have done nothing to make suggestions, which makes him a little depressed, especially Zhu Youjian In this Wu'an Palace, talking to him very seriously about his future, it seemed that Zhu Youjian did not regard him as a civil servant at all.
He is a real scholar!
Although up to now, the Ming Dynasty valued literature over military affairs, and the phenomenon of literati commanding the army has become the norm. However, even such a literati came from an upright academic background. He is a scholar and can barely be considered a literati in front of ordinary people. However, In the eyes of such civil servants in the imperial court, I am afraid that I am just illiterate.
"Really don't want to be an official?" Zhu Youjian looked at him and said softly: "You want to serve the imperial court. Now there are countless ways to go. Do you have to block your own way?"
"If you are an official, you will be welcomed and escorted, and there will be entanglements of interests!" Jiang Wan said slowly: "In this case, how can Jiang Wan stick to his true heart and realize his inner aspirations?"
"Do you really think that if everyone in the world performs their duties, the world will be peaceful?"
Zhu Youjian asked back: "Cultivating oneself, managing one's family, governing the country, and bringing peace to the world should not be the ambition of a scholar. As long as you are willing, you can start by assisting me in governing the country!"
"...!"
Jiang Wan was silent for a moment, and then said slowly: "Yes, Jiang Wan still thinks so. Jiang Wan has not read the sage's book thoroughly, but Jiang Wan does not intend to change this ambition!"
Zhu Youjian nodded, seeming to be thinking about something. Just when Jiang Wan felt that he was a little angry, Zhu Youjian spoke.
"Originally, I wanted to incorporate Tingyulou into my personal bodyguard, but I don't plan to do that now!"
"Your Majesty's safety must not be relaxed!" Jiang Wan said: "Without reliable enough guards by your Majesty's side, Tingyu Tower will not be evacuated for a day!"
"Tomorrow, the disciples and soldiers selected from the noble houses in the capital will come to replace you!" Zhu Youjian said slowly: "In the Ming Dynasty, when I was in charge of my brother, the civil servants and military generals, the eunuchs in the inner court, and the central government
Nobles, the three parties are not buying it, and the emperor is here to check and balance. Now that I am worried about the unrest in the palace and the civil servants in the court will not be of use, naturally I can only use these nobles who are loyal to my Ming Dynasty!"
He seemed to be saying to himself: "My noble Ming Dynasty is different from those civil servants. They have been passed down from generation to generation. When the Ming Dynasty rises, they will rise. When the Ming Dynasty declines, they will decline. If there are enemies who want to destroy our Ming Dynasty, then the Ming Dynasty's
These nobles are definitely the last shield of the Ming Dynasty!"
"Without Daming, they are nothing!"
Jiang Wan nodded. He agreed with this. After all, even if Wei Zhongxian was in power, he only wanted to turn his confidants and nephews into members of the noble family, instead of thinking about how to eliminate these people who did not buy into him at all.
of honor.
With these people to protect the palace, Zhu Youjian can really sit back and relax.
He suddenly felt powerless. He felt that his presence next to Zhu Youjian was not that important. Regardless of his presence or not, Zhu Youjian would still take over the imperial power passed down by his brother, and he would still be able to secure this country.
, and Wei Zhongxian, although he is fearful and dissatisfied in every possible way, he is afraid that he will eventually be slowly destroyed by Zhu Youjian.
So what is the purpose of trying so hard to appear next to Zhu Youjian and win his appreciation? Is it to look familiar? Or is it to have a comfortable life?
This is obviously not what I want!
However, do you really want to instill in Zhu Youjian the concept of "everyone in the world should perform their duties and the world is peaceful" that you have instilled in Zhu Youjian's mind? This kind of thing can be said to Zhu Youjian, and it doesn't matter if you lie to yourself.
That makes sense.
In the next few years, or even more than ten years, the Ming Dynasty suffered from man-made disasters, internal and external troubles, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a troubled time. He was not very interested in suppressing the refugees internally, whether it was to pacify or suppress them. The people of the Ming Dynasty did not fight the people of the Ming Dynasty.
.
There were so many talented people in the court, and if he was allowed to do it, natural disasters could be avoided and man-made disasters could be inevitable. He was not surprised at all.
However, think about the foreign regime after the Ming Dynasty, which brought darkness to this land one after another, so that until the era he remembered, the legacy of this regime had not completely disappeared. The suffering of this kind
Time, he didn't want it to happen again on this land.
Defending the four directions and expanding the territory are what men should do.
Fortunately, I have more knowledge and experience than others, and I have the ability to predict the direction of things. It should be easier and easier for me to do this kind of thing that a man would do.
To be able to do all this with peace of mind, naturally the biggest obstacle at the moment is Wei Zhongxian.
"The name Tingyu Tower does not need to be publicized to the outside world in the future. If Xungui is the last shield of the Ming Dynasty, then Tingyu Tower will be my last shield!"
"Your Majesty, Tingyu Tower can also be the sharpest blade in your Majesty's hand!" Jiang Wan said slowly: "The factory guards are unscrupulous and vicious. They are Wei Zhongxian's minions. If they are not cut off, Wei Zhongxian will become as stable as Mount Tai.
, Jiang Wan has invited me, and everyone at Tingyulou is willing to cut off the wings of traitors and sycophants for Your Majesty, so that Your Majesty will have no worries!"
"It seems that you and I have thought of going together!" Zhu Youjian smiled slightly: "I won't be able to feel at ease until Wei Zhongxian dies. Since he is loyal to the emperor, I have to let him continue to serve the emperor.
