Although Zhu Hao did not explicitly tell her how long it would take to go to sea this time, he vaguely told her that he might not be able to come back in a short time.
Although Zhu San acted very calmly at the beginning, when she left the land with the fleet, she began to feel melancholy. At this time, she was probably also doubting her life. What would she do if she went to sea with Zhu Hao, a "married man"?
Is it necessary to do meaningful things?
"Go and talk to her later. I won't see her recently."
What Zhu Hao means is that I have deceived her. If I go to see her again now, no matter what I say, it will be the behavior of a scumbag.
It's better to wait until her mood stabilizes before meeting again. As for comforting her, I'll leave it to you, the "intimate big sister".
You have proven your ability in brainwashing on Sun Lan, Lu Zhanqing and Ouyang Fei, now let you try it on the princess.
Lou Suzhen sighed: "Master, I really don't know who I am, how should I go to see her?"
Zhu Hao smiled and said: "Based on your original identity, you are no longer a minister of the Ming Dynasty, and she chose to go to sea, so she is no longer the eldest princess of the Ming Dynasty."
Now that things have happened, no matter whether Zhu San regrets it or not, he will never send Zhu San back to the Ming Dynasty again.
After the abductor was taken out, do we still need to send a boat to take the person back?
So what if we just kidnap the princess?
…
…
Capital, Forbidden City.
Qianqing Palace.
Zhu Si only learned the news seven days after Zhu Hao went to sea, and his face was full of shock and disbelief.
"Jingdao went to sea? Why didn't you keep him?"
Zhu Si was very angry.
After a thousand warnings and instructions, did you just let the person run away?
Huang Jindao: "Back to Your Majesty, Mr. Zhu did not bring many soldiers and horses with him when he went to sea, but he took some craftsmen and farmers with him. He said that he was going to mine overseas, and he did not say how long he would go there. After receiving your Majesty's imperial decree, the Jin Yiwei marched non-stop.
I went to deliver the message, but it was still a step too late."
Zhu Si was very upset. After a while, he closed his eyes and said, "Just leave. Where is his family?"
Zhang Zuo stepped forward this time and said softly: "Mr. Zhu's wife will go to Nanjing to take office with him. As for his elders and sisters, most of them are in the capital and Nanjing."
Zhu Si said coldly: "Only his mother, aunt, and her sister are his family members. What are the rest? He has been in the palace for so many years, and you don't even know this?"
"Yes Yes."
Zhang Zuo corrected, "Mr. Zhang's mother, aunt and sister all stay in the capital."
"Um."
Zhu Si felt relieved now: "If he really didn't want to come back, he would have taken his family away. I think he just went to sea... So what's the point of staying in the land where hair and blood drink for a long time? Isn't he going to come back in the end? I don't know.
Bring more troops! If you are trapped by a group of natives, a few men and horses may not be enough."
Zhang Zuo and Huang Jin were both a little confused.
What does the emperor mean by this?
The implication is that His Majesty still thinks Zhu Hao is a bit stupid? He didn't actually bring more troops to sea?
Huang Jin said: "Your Majesty, the direction of the fleet's voyage this time is all the way to the east. It does not seem to be going to Nanyang."
"We are going to the New World. I have known it for a long time. If you think about it, you will understand that there have been indigenous people in Nanyang for a long time. Whether there is fairy grass there has been known for thousands of years. Moreover, the three treasure eunuchs of this dynasty have also been there. No.
Still not found?
"Jingdao said that there is a large land on the other side of the vast sea. If you go deep into the land, you can find crops that can feed the world, and jelly grass that can make people immortal. Forget it, let him go, and come back before the end of the year That’s fine.”
The general idea is that since we can't stop him, we might as well keep our previous promise and let Zhu Hao go to sea.
Huang Jin and Zhang Zuo naturally had different opinions.
Now that Zhu Hao has gone to sea, will he abide by the agreement with His Majesty? If Zhu Hao's fleet does not come back before the end of the year, and the emperor asks us for people, where can we find them?
…
…
Zhang Zuo and Huang Jin left Qianqing Palace.
Zhang Zuodao: "Mr. Zhu's wife, is she no longer in Nanjing or Zhejiang? Did she go to sea with her?"
"This... there is no news at the moment."
Huang Jin said, "But it should be."
Zhang Zuo shook his head: "Since he is going to sea, why not take his mother and sister with him?"
Huang Jin couldn't answer.
Didn't the emperor say everything just now? If Zhu Hao really planned to leave and never come back, he would definitely take away everything he could and not leave anyone behind. This only means that... Zhu Hao will come back.
Now, Zhu Hao went to sea under the emperor's orders and didn't make any mistakes. Why would he take his family with him?
"Eunuch Zhang."
Huang Jin said, "Mr. Zhu shouldn't be in self-exile, right?"
"snort!"
Zhang Zuo hummed and said, "You have quite a lot of opinions. If Mr. Zhu doesn't come back, we think you will be the first person to take responsibility."
"not coming back……"
Huang Jin wanted to ask, where could he go if he didn't come back?
To be a savage outside all your life?
Zhang Zuodao: "Your Majesty needs two hundred thousand taels of silver, can you get it together now? If you don't think about this quickly, why are you still thinking about Mr. Zhu? If Mr. Zhu can come back with several ships of gold, silver and jewelry, This will solve a big problem.”
Huang Jin was shocked and asked: "Do we still need 200,000 taels? The ones we brought back from overseas..."
Zhang Zuo glared at him, and Huang Jin lowered his head, not daring to continue asking.
…
…
"Let's stop building the railway for now."
On that day, Zhu Si summoned several cabinet ministers, as well as two ministers from the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Household Affairs, at the Qianqing Palace. The first thing he mentioned was to stop building the railway.
Several pavilion elders and ministers looked at each other, why did the emperor change his gender today?
Actually choose not to torment the courtiers?
Fei Hong asked: "Your Majesty, how about the progress of previous cultivation?"
Zhu Si said impatiently: "I am telling you that we are short of money now. If we continue to build the railway, it will cost more than 800,000 taels of silver to build it to Xuanfu. Can the imperial court afford this money?"
Not repairing it because of lack of money?
Then why did you practice it before?
Just because Zhu Hao is in power, can he fill this huge hole? And the figure of 800,000 taels...how was it calculated?
"I plan to go back to Anlu recently. Speaking of which, I haven't visited the late emperor's mausoleum for several years. Can you make arrangements?" Zhu Sida said.
Fei Hong hurriedly refused: "Your Majesty, you must not go on patrol!"
The scene of the Zhengde Emperor Zhu Houzhao patrolling the people and ruining their wealth is still before his eyes. Now, the successor of the little emperor wants to do this again?
Zhu Si hummed: "I know that no matter what I do, you will object. I have been dreaming recently, and I dreamed that the late emperor told me that his treatment was so low that he suffered in the immortal world, and I wanted to build a mausoleum for him. , can’t even this wish be fulfilled? And when will the Queen’s family temple start to be repaired? It’s time for the palaces in various parts of the palace to be repaired too..."
Zhu Si always asked for money.
Fei Hong really wanted to say, Your Majesty, didn't you get a huge amount of wealth before? It seems that you brought it back from overseas?
If you have money that you don’t need, why don’t you ask for it from us?
"I will give you half a month to prepare. If it is not enough now, we will allocate it from the fiscal revenue after the autumn grains are put into the warehouse. Otherwise, I can only go back to Anlu and visit the late emperor's mausoleum in person."
Zhu Si waved his hand impatiently, "Please come back."
…
…
Several people came out of Qianqing Palace, a little confused about the emperor's thinking.
Jia Yong shook his head repeatedly: "It's getting more and more outrageous."
Jia Yong had recently been very unhappy with the emperor because of his involvement in the impeachment of Zhu Hao. The emperor had already entertained the idea of letting Jia Yong serve as an official, and had begun to implement it. It seemed that only Jia Yong himself did not realize this.
He also wanted to adhere to the ideas of governing the country left by Yang Tinghe and guard the last bottom line of traditional civil servants.
Yang Yiqing acted like a normal person and didn't care at all about what the emperor said before.
Liu Chun caught up a few steps and asked in a low voice: "Ying Ning, what do you think?"
Yang Yiqing smiled and said: "Your Majesty is just talking, why should you take it seriously?"
These words were very rude and seemed to treat the emperor as a transparent person.
Fei Hong glanced at Yang Yiqing from a distance. On this point, he seemed to be the only one who had similar views to Yang Yiqing.
Liu Chun asked: "What's the explanation?"
Yang Yiqing didn't explain and went straight to Wenyuan Pavilion.
When it came to the cabinet duty, Yang Yiqing deliberately pushed Jia Yong away, but Fei Hong also wisely refused to rely on him. When Yang Yiqing was alone with Liu Chun, he said: "Your Majesty said that the problem of money and food expenses will be solved within a time limit, but is there any You said it can’t be solved by then, how should we deal with it?”
Liu Chun thought about it for a while.
The emperor's order was almost nonsense, and it seemed that the emperor himself didn't even understand what he wanted.
You obviously have money but don't want to spend it, so you have to ask the court to provide money and efforts.
Not only do we want to build the palace, but we also want to build Emperor Xian's mausoleum. We also want to build the queen's family temple, and the palace also wants to be repaired.
The more complex the emperor's thoughts are, the more it shows that the emperor has not understood his own position. He only proposed one thing, which might make the courtiers pay attention to it, but ended up throwing out so many things at once... without making it clear and giving the ministers room to argue? Besides, We will give it to you if you want it? Do you really think that Ming Dynasty’s treasury is inexhaustible?
Yang Yiqing said: "I have calculated that the cost requirements put forward by His Majesty recently have probably exceeded one million taels of silver. Who can fill such a big hole? He actually took the initiative to build the railway that Zhu Hao had insisted on before. Putting the matter aside, I can only think that Your Majesty is short of money but not short of it."
"oh."
Liu Chun nodded.
He probably understood the meaning of Yang Yiqing's words, which roughly meant that the emperor had money but didn't know where to spend it.
It means that when he has no money, he feels that he can accomplish one or two things, but when he has money, he wants to accomplish everything without spending his own money...
The end result is that if you don't spend your own money, the court will not allocate it to you. Then stop whatever you want to do and let everyone argue together. If you still want to ask for it from us in the court... I'm sorry , the worst case scenario is that if you let people like the Minister of Revenue become officials, no one will be able to fill your bottomless pit of needs.
Fei Hong walked in from the outside, took out a memorial, and put it in front of Yang Yiqing: "Before Zhu Jingdao went to sea, he wrote a memorial and mentioned the abolition of several shipyards along the coast. You can also give your opinions!"
