Zhu Youxiao is not worried about his security and defense work, he must be on guard against others, he must eliminate all possibilities.
As long as his younger brother is still in the capital and in the palace, no matter how much control he takes, he will not be able to stop the civil servants from "gambling."
And the most important thing is that his younger brother has a big ideological problem. He is full of so-called sage Confucianism, and he is not of the same mind as his elder brother.
His idea was the same as that of Emperor Jianwen. An emperor who only cared about reputation and face and paid attention to so-called Confucianism was not a qualified emperor at all.
After learning about the current situation of his innocent younger brother from Liu Shimin, Zhu Youxiao asked him about the monitoring of generals in Bian Town.
The internal factory had just been reestablished, and its manpower was transferred from Jinyiwei and Internal Supervisors, so it was not very familiar with this new business.
Moreover, the border town generals are much more prepared to take precautions than ordinary generals.
It is extremely difficult to place spies around them.
Today's generals are all greedy for soldiers' blood, greedy for food and salary, and take all the money and food allocated by the court to support the army into their own pockets.
Then he used the money and food to recruit servants and private soldiers on a large scale, becoming a private armed army that only obeyed his orders.
If you want to find out their true background, the first thing you need to do is to at least become their servant.
But it was obviously impossible for the current Jin Yiwei to do this, so he did not blame Liu Shimin.
Although there is a certain lack of personal talent, it is more due to the limitations of the times.
Zhu Youxiao is not in a hurry now. His basic base has been established. As long as nothing happens to him, his control over the northern provinces will only continue to strengthen.
The inventory of the inner treasury and the royal warehouse also went extremely unsatisfactory.
When many eunuchs heard that the emperor sent special personnel to count, they used various reasons to obstruct them.
There were even direct fires in several places, but where the source of the fire came from is unknown.
Liu Shimin had no choice but to arrest more than a dozen eunuchs in charge for interrogation. The information obtained was not critical and important enough, and some scattered clues were of no use at all.
Zhu Youxiao knew that the eunuchs were afraid that the information and quantities of the items they checked would not be correct, so they chose to use extreme methods to escape.
This is also their usual trick. They will directly count all the houses for you, and then see what else you bring to check.
He had no choice but to order all the eunuchs responsible for guarding and guarding the treasury to be killed and their homes ransacked.
You guys think it's all over now, I'm not a taciturn person, so just be as straightforward as you are, after all, I'm not someone who's willing to suffer.
In order to prevent such a sudden fire from happening again, Zhu Youxiao ordered a palace to be vacated in the front palace to store antiques, calligraphy, paintings and other objects.
After Liu Shimin withdrew, Zhu Youxiao immediately summoned three cabinet ministers and Zhang Ruitu, the Minister of Rites.
Establish Zhu Youjian's title and fiefdom as soon as possible.
Zhang Ruitu immediately said that it was inappropriate. The title canonization could be drafted now, but this was a matter of vassal status. According to his idea, it would have to be postponed later.
The reason given is that many emperors have faced embarrassing situations. Zhu Youxiao currently has no prince and no descendants to be his heirs, so Zhu Youjian has to be temporarily kept in the capital.
This is an unwritten rule between the royal family and courtiers. If the emperor does not have a son, but has a brother, he must keep a brother in the capital in case of unexpected events.
If there are no biological brothers, it's another story.
When the emperor was young and strong, no one would say anything. After all, the days ahead are long and there is still plenty of time.
But if the emperor is old, or his health is unstable, and he suffers from a disease that cannot be cured, he will have to select a suitable clan from the nearest vassal to enter the capital.
Just like Emperor Jingtai, when Zhu Jianji was still alive, he could make trouble as he pleased, and many ministers would still support him.
But when Zhu Jianji died and his body was in trouble again, the first thing the ministers worried about was not whether it could be cured, but what the emperor's specific condition was.
Instead, they immediately signed a letter asking him to immediately confer Zhu Jianshen as the crown prince to stabilize people's hearts.
Not to mention in the feudal dynasty, even in later generations, the inheritance of heirs is the biggest thing. What's more, he is still the emperor and his status is special, so of course it is even more strict.
Coupled with the negative teaching material of Zhu Houzhao, the attention of civil servants to this aspect has increased several levels.
They were afraid that the old incident of Wuzong would happen again, so they were extremely concerned about it.
Emperor Tianqi in history probably didn't let his younger brother join the vassal clan because he loved him.
The biggest obstacle may be the same embarrassing situation Zhu Youxiao is facing now. Without an heir, officials will not let him go at all.
The three ministers of the cabinet also believe that the inheritance of future generations is greater than heaven. For most people, this is a deep-rooted idea that cannot be changed at all.
When Zhu Youxiao saw that they were all unanimously opposed, he no longer argued with them forcefully, let alone got angry because of this restriction of etiquette regulations.
So he said bluntly:
"The queen is pregnant and will give birth to a prince soon. You don't have to worry about these things. Please arrange the canonization and vassalage for my brother as soon as possible!"
"Your Majesty, I forgive you for not obeying the order. This is really inconsistent with the ancestral system. Your Majesty can wait for a few days until the queen gives birth to the prince, and then you can take the vassal!"
"Even if the minister and the three ministers in the cabinet agree, the officials will not agree. I hope your majesty will not forcefully violate the rules and act!"
Zhang Yan is already three months pregnant. Although it means that Zhu Youjian still needs to stay in the palace for at least seven months, Zhu Youxiao is not in such a hurry yet and must make arrangements now.
Although Zhu Youjian cannot be sent out of the capital now, some preparations must still be put on the agenda.
After final agreement, Zhu Youjian will be canonized as King Xin, and it will be officially announced at the court meeting after the year.
The fiefdom was decided to be in Xinyang Prefecture, Henan, but it would not be a vassal for the time being. After the queen gave birth to a prince, it would be released to other places. This was also the opinion of several ministers.
During this period of time, the Ministry of Rites will also seize the time to prepare for Zhu Youjian, who is about to become King Xin, to select a concubine and get married.
The etiquette of a prince's wedding is also very complicated, not to mention that it is in the capital, and the emperor personally presides over the wedding. In terms of pomp and momentum, it is naturally more grand and grand than usual.
Zhu Youxiao's canonization ceremony will be held together with the wedding ceremony. This will save time and effort, and most importantly, save a lot of money.
