Chapter 764: The stakes between the DPRK and China
Zhu Yuanzhang has always devoted himself to cultivating Zhu Biao, so even though there are many objections in the court, Zhu Yuanzhang has always been very positive.
Zhu Biao can become a benevolent and righteous monarch in the future.
Therefore, during the training, he intentionally or unintentionally wanted Zhu Biao to follow Zhu Han.
What I learned was not only how to deal with others, but also how to strategize among these officials.
When he came to court, officials deliberately began to impeach Wang An in front of Zhu Han.
It is believed that he is the number one scholar in the imperial examination, but now he has no way to sort out all the official affairs of the Ministry of Household Affairs. He has absolutely no strength at all.
"Wang An has been assigned to work in the household department for half a month, but he has never had any strength at all."
"He can't even calculate all the ledgers clearly. This really makes no one think that he is the number one scholar and actually has no talent or virtue."
"That's right. We veterans can't stand it anymore. It seems that the candidate recommended by His Royal Highness is nothing more than this."
A few of them deliberately targeted Zhu Han.
Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the dragon throne and looked at the officials he saw seriously.
His brows and eyes were full of calmness, as if he didn't obey their arrangements at all.
Before Zhu Han could speak, discussions had already begun in the court.
Especially regarding Wang An's current situation, some people have already started to impeach him.
They were unwilling to let Wang An be assigned to the court, and some even moved him out deliberately. Hu Weiyong's shackles wanted to completely get rid of Wang An.
Zhu Han would never let this happen.
So, he turned around and glanced at Zhu Biao without hesitation.
Zhu Biao understood immediately.
He stood up in front of everyone and started a verbal battle with the other officials.
"My lords, have you ever thought that even though Wang An is the number one scholar, he has actually made better arrangements for the court from the beginning."
"What you are doing now is of no use to him."
If all the many problems in the court are dealt with at their most fundamental level.
If you analyze it thoroughly in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, there will definitely be many people who have no way to shoulder this final responsibility.
Especially Zhu Biao's ability to stand up and speak for Wang An has surpassed everyone else.
What he said in the court was more important than ten of those people put together.
However, there were some who were not afraid of death, so they began to rebut in front of Zhu Biao.
"Your Highness, you are wrong to say that. After all, he is the top scholar in the imperial examination. Now when he arrives at the Ministry of Accounts, he can't even complete the accounting books. What's the use of him being the top scholar?"
"Isn't it a waste of time? This opportunity should be left to other talented people."
Zhu Benn did not intend to make things happen, but someone deliberately wanted to come forward at this time.
Then he won't be polite.
"You think these things are so easy in the court, then you are too confident."
"In the imperial court, there are not only ministers, ministers, and other official positions, but each of them has to perform his or her own duties."
"Shang Shu of the Ministry of Revenue, I have handed over all my affairs to Wang An, who has just come to power. Is this the result of Wang An's inability to meet your wishes?"
Everyone was speechless when they heard Zhu Biao's words. At this time, the face of the Minister of the Ministry of Finance instantly turned pale.
He looked at Zhu Biao in disbelief, never expecting that Zhu Biao would know about what he had done.
At this moment, I was so frightened that I suddenly forgot how to retort.
Zhu Yuanzhang immediately found the steps and continued to ask questions in front of everyone.
"Prince, what is going on? Wang An has just become the Minister of Household Affairs, and someone has already started to cause trouble for him."
"Speak out and let me listen carefully to find out who is so brave."
Zhu Yuanzhang spoke without anger or authority.
All the courtiers in the audience have begun to worry.
Especially the Minister of Household Affairs.
He only felt that his scalp was numb, and he glanced at Zhu Han inadvertently.
When the four of them faced each other, he could clearly see that Zhu Han's eyes were filled with murderous intent.
"Father, I don't know. Wang An has just arrived at the Ministry of Accounts. As usual, he just wants to track down some accounts and register them."
"But the Minister of Revenue threw all the account books from previous years in front of him, asking Wang An to sort them out within three days."
"This should be the job of the Minister of Revenue. He shouldn't bully such a junior."
At this moment, Shangshu Hubu's legs felt weak and he quickly knelt on the ground.
When he looked up at Zhu Yuanzhang, he quickly began to defend himself. He didn't want to put himself in crisis just because of this incident.
Many problems in the court have already caused him a lot of trouble, and now he has no way to deal with them calmly.
Many troubles in the court are very important to him, and it is the result of not being able to relax all of them.
The problems in the court have already exceeded what I thought.
"Your Majesty, there is some misunderstanding. Wang An has just arrived at the Ministry of Revenue and does not understand anything. His subordinates handed it over to him bit by bit."
"There was indeed some negligence regarding the account book. I thought Wang An could figure it out clearly, so..."
The Minister of the Ministry of Finance could not even reconcile his words. Zhu Biao stood in front of him and looked down at the Minister of the Ministry of Finance.
His expression was calm, but with a hint of majesty.
"Sir Zhang was outside earlier and made a lot of lofty words, saying that he was the hero of my father. Even if there was more chaos, my father would still be lenient."
"I wonder if you ever thought that one day you would become like this when you said these rumors outside."
A trace of cold sweat broke out on the forehead of the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance. He looked at Zhu Biao in disbelief and immediately realized something was wrong.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! These words were all said by him and several of his subordinates unintentionally, but how did Zhu Biao know about it?
Zhu Yuanzhang's face turned gloomy after hearing these words, and a pressure quickly spread in the court.
"Since you can't explain why, then go back and investigate the matter first. If the situation is true, then file a lawsuit and return home."
Zhu Yuanzhang's punishment this time was quite severe, but no one from the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty wrote to the Ministry of Household Affairs to plead for mercy.
After going to court, Zhu Biao felt extremely happy when he saw Zhu Han.
For so many years, the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance has been thinking about causing trouble for them in the court.
Especially when Zhu Yuanzhang paid private visits incognito, Zhu Biao would refute every decision he made.
Zhu Biao had already held a grudge against him, but he didn't expect that he would still think of deliberately causing trouble in the court.
That is simply shooting yourself in the foot.
"Uncle Emperor, how did I handle today's affairs?"
Zhu Han glanced at Zhu Biao meaningfully.
In the past few days, he has indeed been vigorous and resolute in handling the matter between the DPRK and China, and he has arranged everything properly.
For Zhu Yuanzhang, this was very satisfying.
Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Han had always looked upon Zhu Biao with admiration. This time, Zhu Biao's actions made Zhu Han trust him even more.
"You are indeed right. It seems that the Minister of Revenue and other officials will also be worried."
"Whether the words they said will be written down by others? I am also a little curious about how His Royal Highness knew those bad remarks."
Zhu Han did not have much influence on Zhu Biao, but he expected that he would be struggling in the court now, working step by step to lay a foundation for himself.
Zhu Di often wanted to cause trouble for Zhu Biao, but he was able to accurately identify the Minister of Household Affairs. Those who despised the imperial power were really shocking.
Zhu Biao was obviously a little embarrassed after hearing Zhu Han's words.
He did not hide it. He said this in front of Zhu Han. In fact, he and his subordinates discussed it together, and also arranged for many people to inquire about the information.
The Minister of the Ministry of Finance had already started to be arrogant before, and this was when he got the handle.
"I usually don't get used to seeing him dictating to me. He relies on himself and my father's favor to try to influence my thoughts, so I thought of punishing him properly."
Zhu Han looked at Zhu Biao and nodded repeatedly.
He was somewhat interested in this prince.
In the court, he did not fear the power to reveal all the past affairs of those officials. I am afraid that those officials now have begun to be afraid.
"Does His Highness the Crown Prince know how the business of his silk and satin shop has been going these days? I would like to go over and take a look when I have time, but His Highness Prince Yan may not be very welcoming."
Zhu Han said deliberately.
He kept walking forward, and Zhu Biao quickly caught up with him.
Zhu Biao also shared with Zhu Han a lot of things that happened in Zhu Di's store in the past few days.
It turned out that, as Zhang Fengnian expected, all the silks and satins in Zhu Di's shop were provided by other merchants in Yingtianfu.
The sales are indeed good now, but they can only be sold at good prices in the first few days of opening.
After that, business plummeted.
Zhu Biao was talking to himself as he walked.
"This is also the first time I know that doing business really depends on talent. There are several businesses in Yingtianfu Silk and Satin House."
""The boom in Fourth Brother's business in the past two days was entirely due to other officials and businessmen, and even ordinary people coming to buy a little bit just to join in the fun."
"After everyone gets over the heat, they won't want to go there again."
Zhu Han listened intently and was still thinking while sitting in the carriage.
How should Zhang Fengnian's business be done properly? He had to admire Zhang Fengnian's thinking really fast.
Not only did he sell all the silk and satin, he also made a lot of money.
If it had been any other time, no one would have been able to stop him.
In fact, not many people can stand on this court.
With the help of the Yingtianfu Donghai Chamber of Commerce, their business was able to do better and better, but things were not so easy for Zhu Di.
"Now, he really has a lot of silk and satin in his warehouse and trying to sell it seems to be getting more and more difficult."
"Time flies very quickly, and he issued a military order in front of his father."
Zhu Di and Zhu Biao were good brothers, and Empress Ma's teachings to them were all intended to help each other in the future.
But now that something like this happened suddenly, it was really beyond their expectation.
"Uncle Emperor, do you think that if the fourth brother is really unable to complete the military order, will he really be sent to the border to lead troops by his father?"
"Then when the time comes, won't his power become stronger and stronger? His father-in-law is General Xu Da, a veteran of his father-in-law's campaigns in all directions."
Zhu Han was really quite afraid of Xu Da.
When he and Zhu Yuanzhang fought all the way from Huangjue Temple to Yingtian Mansion, Xu Da actually put in a lot of effort.
He used his troops like a god, even when facing the enemy, hundreds of thousands of soldiers never frowned.
The journey was unstoppable, leading him and Zhu Yuanzhang to conquer the world today.
Xu Da's contribution is unrivaled.
"General Xu is indeed very powerful, but he is also very capable. Even if His Majesty wants to send King Yan to the military camp, you have to see if General Xu agrees?"
Zhu Benn didn't have much confidence in the past, but now after hearing Zhu Han's words, he felt that this road seemed to be getting more and more difficult to walk.
He had never thought that he and Zhu Di would actually be in a tit-for-tat situation, and the apparent peace seemed to be difficult to maintain.
"Then what chance do I have of winning in the eyes of the emperor?"
Zhu Biao was beginning to feel anxious at this time, and Zhu Han glanced at Zhu Biao casually.
"If His Majesty really wants to blame, he has to go through Queen Ma's test. His Royal Highness will only have to make it clear what he wants in front of Queen Ma."
"The queen will naturally stand on the side of the prince. Queen Ma has devoted her whole life to the Ming Dynasty, so naturally she will not watch you brothers fight."
Throughout the dynasties, many brothers and sisters wanted to ascend to the throne, even at the cost of their lives, causing unrest in their families.
Even in the spirit of a great power, many problems will arise. Now both sides have begun to form cliques in private for personal gain.
There is no way for the officials to unite anymore. When this kind of thing comes to Queen Ma, Queen Ma will naturally know what to choose.
After Zhu Han's words, Zhu Biao seemed to have understood the truth.
He looked at Zhu Han and nodded repeatedly, already having a plan in mind.
After going to court, Zhu Han went to the silk and satin shop.
At this time, I saw a huge crowd at the door, and many people began to queue up to buy.
Zhang Fengnian publicized their embroidery skills and immediately caused quite a stir in Yingtian Mansion.
"This silk is really hot right now. If you can't buy it, you have to wait for several days."
"I never expected that the embroidery on the satin would be so exquisite. If it were made into clothes, it would definitely be fascinating."
"In a few days, there will be a poetry gathering held by officials, and wealthy ladies from all over the world want to appear there, so the clothes made with these embroideries will be even more popular."
Zhu Han also heard a lot of clues from it, and then he understood how far-sighted Zhang Fengnian was.
