"Boss, you have been watching the government for so long. You will be the supervisor of the country. You will be the regent during the period when the father goes north." Zhu Di's tone was relaxed, and Zhu Gaochi's face turned green.
what happened?
Aren’t we trying our best to stop it?
Why do you still want to go to Peking?
"Father, the Emperor's Holy Chariot, cannot leave easily. There is nothing big happening in Peiping right now, so there is no need for Father to go north!"
Zhu Di blinked and said with a smile: "Boss, are you really serious about it?"
Zhu Gaochi calculated carefully and found that it was indeed gone.
"When I return to my father, the smuggling traitors have been uncovered, and the three Duoyan guards and the Tatars have been repulsed. My cousin also has a strategy for how to govern Peiping. Now everyone in the government and the public agrees with this matter. There are no internal worries.
There is no external trouble. I really can’t think of anything else that requires my father to go north."
After he finished speaking, he looked up at Zhu Di again, only to find a meaningful smile on Zhu Di's face.
"Boss, the most important thing for the country is to sacrifice the soldiers! You know this truth better than my father. The Martyrs' Shrine was built in Peiping, and your grandfather is enshrined in it! Do you think my father should go north to worship his old man?"
Zhu Gaochi's blood ran cold when he heard this. He forgot, he actually forgot!
There's also this!
The courtiers hoped that the emperor would just be responsible for the sacrifices and be a mascot, but they did not want the emperor to travel thousands of miles to Peking to perform sacrifices!
"Father, didn't you say that the crown prince should go every year? I am willing to do it for you!"
Zhu Di rolled his eyes and said, "This is the first time, can you take my place? Stop talking nonsense and quickly prepare things for me and your mother. We are going north together."
"What?" Zhu Gaochi asked anxiously, "Father, why are you going with your mother?"
"Nonsense, the King of Zhongshan is your mother's father! Can you, the daughter, not go? Your third brother is also following. Doesn't he control the newspaper? Let him report the news at any time. By the way, there is also our eldest grandson.
, let him follow and go back to Prince Yan’s Mansion to have some fun.”
Zhu Gaochi was speechless and speechless. What the hell is this?
Your whole family is gone, so I’m the only one left, right?
Otherwise, I might as well leave for the north.
Zhu Gaochi could only think about it. Obviously, he had no chance to make a comeback this time. Who asked Queen Xu to follow him? He would be alone!
Fatty Zhu was dejected and went to find Jian Yi and Xia Yuanji. They also got the news and looked at each other in shock.
"Sacrificing sacrifices to heroes and martyrs is a matter of course, and no one can stop it. Now we can only think of ways to save money." Xia Yuanji considered it: "Fortunately, Duke Ding's side won the battle, and we didn't need to send many troops. We can still
Save a little. Otherwise I really don’t know what to do.”
Jian Yi frowned. After a moment, he shook his head and said, "Xia Shangshu, we can't save this money. We should spend it when we need to."
Xia Yuanji was shocked, "Jian Shangshu, what do you mean?"
"It's not interesting. I just want to make it clear to His Majesty that it is a waste of money and people and cannot be done casually."
At this moment, Zhu Gaochi was shocked and couldn't help but nodded.
In the early years, he heard Zhu Yuanzhang say that Zhu Di was a naughty boy. Now he has grown up, has a long beard, and has become an old bear. In a few years, he will be an old bear... willful, tossing, bad-tempered, and full of twists and turns.
No reply. To put it nicely, that’s called perseverance. To put it badly, it’s just refusing to listen to advice.
Maybe when he arrived in Peiping, he was so happy that he decided to move the capital, and then the gold and silver mountains were not enough.
"Just spend it! Anyway, if I can't hold on any longer, I'll give it up and let my father do it himself."
The two ministers looked at each other and knew that the only one they could count on was Zhu Gaochi.
As for Xu Jingchang, it’s hard to say whether this guy is good or bad.
It was his idea to build the Martyrs' Shrine in Peiping.
If Xu Jingchang plays a big game of chess, it will be very lively.
After discussion, the emperor and empress decided to go north together to offer sacrifices to the heroes... There were many etiquette matters involved, so Huang Guan, the Minister of Rites, was responsible for accompanying him on the journey north.
As for the generals, Qi Guogong Qiu Fu accompanied him, as did Ji Gang, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, and Hou Xian, the Supervisor of Ceremonies, also followed...
Obviously, the courtiers took this opportunity to drive away those who disliked him.
Jian Yi showed a rare smile and looked around Yingtian City. There was nothing annoying anymore. They could do whatever they wanted.
"Old Xia, let me remind you, no matter how long His Majesty is gone, we must seize the opportunity to deal with the difficult government affairs as soon as possible, handle the difficult things, and send the people who should be sent...
It must be done quickly and without delay.”
Xia Yuanji was stunned for a moment, but he immediately understood.
Jian Tianguan, what a master!
When dealing with government affairs, no matter what happens, it must be discussed in Wuying Palace and must go through Zhu Di.
Now, Zhu Di has left. Although he still has to report, it is still one level away... Moreover, when Zhu Di goes north, there are so many things going on, and he may not have time to go through them one by one.
In this way, all the matters will be settled. When Zhu Di comes back, that is, when His Majesty is not in Beijing, the matter will be settled... It will be difficult to change the situation if you want to change it later.
"Jian Tianguan, it looks like there will be some benefits for His Majesty to go north!"
Jian Yi said with a sullen face: "If your Majesty can come back on time."
"Be back on time?"
"Don't just move the capital to Peking."
Xia Yuanji immediately stared, couldn't help but sigh, helpless.
"Let's send a message to Duke Dingguo! Let him be careful no matter what, and never let His Majesty move the capital!"
Jian Yi thought for a while and said helplessly: "Let's stop talking nonsense. Xu Jingchang can do whatever he likes! This kid is not something we can manipulate."
Although these two people said this, they did not dare to relax at all. They must be careful and do not make any mistakes...
With them like this, Xu Jingchang's head became even bigger when he heard that Zhu Di was going north.
"It's broken, it's broken! Send the order quickly and deal with the government affairs at hand as quickly as possible. Everything must be done before His Majesty arrives."
Xu Jingchang's reaction was completely different from that of the two ministers, but they reached the same goal through different paths.
When Zhu Di arrives, everything will be taken care of, and His Majesty does not need to worry... In short, His Majesty must be excluded from government affairs.
Zhu Gaoxu didn't understand very much, "Xian brother, are you so afraid of the emperor? He is not a coward after all. If you act like this, you are like a traitor, a traitor who deceives the saints!"
Xu Jingchang sneered, "King of Han, do you know how to complain for your majesty? Then let me ask you, if your majesty comes to Peking and asks about the prisoners of Duoyan Sanwei, guess what you will do with your majesty's temper?"
Zhu Gaoxu thought for a while, "Father is very arrogant in his actions. I will probably reprimand him, punish the culprit, and release other personnel."
"Then we lost more than 10,000 strong laborers." Xu Jingchang said unceremoniously.
Zhu Gaoxu was stunned for a moment.
Xu Jingchang didn't want to let him go and continued to ask, "Then what do you think will happen if His Majesty intervenes in the trade negotiations with Arutai?"
"Yes?" Zhu Gaoxu blinked...
Xu Jingchang simply said: "When determining the price of cattle and horses, should Beiping or Daning be the standard?"
"Of course it's Daning. Daning is eight hundred miles farther than Peiping, so the price is cheaper!"
"What about the price of salt? Should we use Changlu or Lianghuai?" Xu Jingchang continued to ask.
"Of course it's from Lianghuai. It's expensive from Lianghuai!"
"Also, what words are used in the documents between the two parties?"
"Chinese character."
"How do the two parties trade? Should we set up a bank?"
"Yes!"
"Then how are the shares of both parties calculated in this bank?"
Zhu Gaoxu was stunned for a moment, "Of course it's...even shares!"
Xu Jingchang smiled and said: "Why divide it equally?"
"Because no matter how we divide it, there are few people in Mongolia who understand the operation of banks, and they are all people who need us. An equal share can allow them to contribute money, and it can also show that we respect them. In addition, they occupy half of the dry shares, and they
Only then will you feel at ease, and it will be more convenient for them to save money in the future.”
Xu Jingchang nodded repeatedly, "You are right... I ask you, can His Majesty think of these things?"
Zhu Gaoxu was speechless. He thought about it a little, but he didn't need to think too much. He knew very well who Zhu Di was... A man with great talent and great strategy can calculate big accounts clearly. As for the details, if Zhu Di is allowed to do it,
Daming is guaranteed to suffer losses.
As Xu Jingchang said, there are too many articles that can be hidden here, such as commodity valuation, bank settings, and trading rules. A single word from Zhu Di will often destroy everyone's long-term efforts.
Moreover, there are some very insidious tricks of villains, which really cannot be disclosed to the Emperor... Otherwise, if they are written down in the records and spread to later generations, it will damage the Emperor's sanctity.
Zhu Gaoxu thought about it for a long time, and could only sigh helplessly, "Is it possible that it is reasonable to deceive the emperor and blind the emperor?"
Xu Jingchang said: "This is the secret of being a minister... We can't give His Majesty detailed content, we can only give him a few options... For example, should we open the market for inquiry? He nodded, and we will do the rest...
We even have to compile enough reasons to get His Majesty to agree to the opening. You must know who holds the power of this country!"
Zhu Gaoxu shuddered subconsciously, "Brother Xian, you are not planning to seduce your father, are you?"
Xu Jingchang rolled his eyelids, "Are you willing to help?"
"Yes, why don't you want to! We are just my biological father and son, no one can hinder me from making money!"
Xu Jingchang is very satisfied and likes a good son like you who is kind to his father and filial to his son.
"Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and empty the prison. All those who can be assigned to hard labor will be sent there. These are all good laborers, don't let your majesty cut them off."
Zhu Gaoxu agreed quickly.
Xu Jingchang issued another order one after another, ordering Shuntian Mansion to select a group of elderly people, probably over fifty years old...together a thousand people, put on new clothes, beat gongs and drums, and go to welcome His Majesty back to Peiping.
It must be lively and sincere, so that His Majesty can feel the enthusiasm of the people of Peiping...
Then what Zhu Di saw was the roar of gongs and drums, the blast of firecrackers, the sea of people, and the flags and flags fluttering.
"Welcome to your majesty and return to Peiping!"
"Welcome to the Holy Master!"
At this moment, Zhu Di's eye circles were red...
"Everyone, please get back on your feet!" Zhu Di said emotionally: "I'm back again! How are you all doing?"
