Chapter 220 Find the prince if you have something to do, and leave the court if you have nothing to do
At the second small court meeting after Wang Wen, Chen Xun, and Yu Qian submitted their letters, the seven ministers gathered in the Hall of Qianqing to discuss the issue of the placement of military power in the Ministry of War.
The "return" of placement is very important.
Where you come from, where you go back.
Today's Qiqing are basically all people who support Zhu Qiyu and his son.
Will be settled soon.
Then he issued an imperial edict and announced it to the world.
A layman watches the door, an expert watches the excitement. Scholars all over the world reacted violently. No one dared to scold the emperor and the prince, but they could scold the ministers. Especially since the Shi Heng turmoil, Yu Qian rarely spoke out for the interests of the civil servant group.
Therefore, scholars all over the world criticize Qian with words and words, whether he is an official, veteran official, or everyone in the private sector, and a flood of petitions to depose Yu Qian floods into the capital.
It was very lively for a while.
Of course, most of these chapters cannot enter the Qianqing Palace.
Under such circumstances, Duke Yansheng arrived in Beijing.
Only half of the officials in the imperial edict who were implicated in the reserve exchange incident were interrogated and convicted. The remaining half were overjoyed when they heard that Yan Shenggong had arrived in Beijing, thinking that they had waited for hope.
Zhu Jianji knew this very well.
There was still someone in Jinyiwei who tipped off the news. It probably wasn't a collusion between power and money. It was simply a matter of collecting some money from the family members of the guilty ministers to help deliver some news. It was harmless.
It's not yet time to rectify the Jinyiwei.
The candle shadow flickers red.
Zhu Jianji sat shirtless behind the desk, with Liu Qi and Li Qin waiting on him. Although there were ice cubes in the room, he was still covered in sweat. It had been hot and muggy for several days, and no heavy rain had fallen yet.
There should be a heavy rain.
Bai Li walked in from outside, rolled up his sleeves and sat next to Zhu Jianji. He glanced at the desk and pouted, "What are you drawing? It's weird. The treasure ship doesn't look like the treasure ship."
Zhu Jianji laughed, stretched out his hand to scratch his wife's nose, and pinched it again, "This is money!"
It feels really good.
Bai Li had a question mark on his face.
Zhu Jianji explained: "When a cannon is fired, gold is worth ten thousand taels. If this thing painted by your man is built and driven around the world, firing a few cannons will be able to provide the Ming Dynasty with dozens or hundreds of years of resource income." "
Bai Li still had a question mark on his face.
It's strange that she understands.
His eyebrows were watery and he was a little shy. He pinched Zhu Jianji's arm and said, "Let's take a rest earlier."
Zhu Jianji's heart skipped a beat.
Damn it.
No, my wife has a tendency to become a cannibal.
That's a good feeling!
But he was not sleepy yet, so he said, "I'll be busy for a while."
Bai Li snorted, feeling a little disappointed. He glanced at Liu Qi and Li Qin, rolled his eyes, and said: "I heard that Yan Shenggong is going to attend the court meeting tomorrow morning. I'm afraid there will be a war of words. When my mother came to see me in the afternoon, she said that my father was muttering in the study, if you can't suppress Duke Yan tomorrow, I'm afraid the civil service group will be wiped out in vain, is this true?"
Zhu Jianji put down his pen, thought for a while, and said: "Basically, it's just Duke Yan, especially Duke Yan of the Ming Dynasty. He is not a threat. His Majesty Taizu can deal with him docilely. I also Can’t you clean it up?”
War of words?
He may indeed be no match for Yan Shenggong.
But who said I have to argue with him?
Talk about swords!
I have military power in my hands, and I don't have the patience to talk to him in a long way.
Bai Li said again: "Actually, the Yan Sheng Gong lineage is divided into the Northern and Southern Sects..." At this point, he was a little afraid and did not dare to say more.
The harem does not interfere in politics.
Zhu Jianji understood, "It's just what my father-in-law asked your mother to take care of. Well, you just need to know the importance. When it comes to national affairs, you should have a sense of proportion in your heart about what should be said and what should not be said. But this matter is not considered national."
A big event is just a sideshow at most. Just wait and see. Tomorrow I will send Duke Yan back to Qufu, Shandong in despair. Furthermore, who is hosting the banquet for Duke Yan tonight? They are Yu Shaobao, Wang Wen, and Chen Xun.
, Shang Ren, Zhang Peng, Hang Yu from the Fifth Army Governor's Office, plus Wang Yue, the commander of the East Palace Young Army, the most elite civilian and military generals of the Ming Dynasty gathered together, can Yan Shenggong please him? "
I really don’t believe it.
In a heated exchange of words, is Yan Shenggong being too modest?
You, Yanshenggong, came from Shandong to the capital to plead for the orders of the scholars in the world and depose Yu Qian.
Can Yu Qian accept it?!
If you accept it, then where is Yu Qian's reputation as a civil servant?
This is Yu Qian's fate.
Moreover, once Yan Shenggong succeeds in petitioning for scholars in the world, and the court is forced to depose Yu Qian under pressure, then the issue of the placement of military power will have to be renegotiated. I won't be busy working in vain.
Therefore, Yan Shenggong really didn't know what to do, so he had to deal with him.
As for Yan Shenggong's daring to make threatening remarks about alienation between scholars in the world and the royal family of the Ming Dynasty's Zhu family, Wang Yuehui, the commander of the young army, told Yan Shenggong a fact.
Sir, times have changed.
Even without the support of the nobles, the Ming Dynasty was still on the road to prosperity.
In short, Yan Shenggong's matter is a trivial matter.
The only trouble is that we can't really take action against Yan Shenggong, and we still need Confucian orthodoxy to maintain the rule of the imperial power. After all, as he reforms the Ming Dynasty, the leap in productivity will force social relations to change, and then the imperial power will be impacted.
, need Confucianism to lead.
Zhu Jianji once said a sentence that is still fresh in his memory on ideological and political issues: Productivity is the fundamental driving force for social progress.
So in those historical novels, we travel back to the Ming Dynasty where various reforms were carried out. After that, the country's national power soared, the economy took off, the people became rich, and the territory expanded to become the first empire of Blue Star.
However, social relations are still the traditional feudal dynastic system, which is very unscientific.
Once the external conflicts have passed, domestic conflicts will soon break out.
Zhu Jianji took precautions.
He has been thinking about this problem.
Confucianism can be used, but you have to prepare backup plans and even anticipate changes in the political system.
Of course, despite all changes, there is one basic principle that remains unchanged:
I want to be the emperor!
Concentrating his thoughts, he took Bai Li into his arms - do you still know your wife's little thoughts?
Soon he was favored and scolded alone.
Just leave it to you!
Zhu Jianji glanced at Liu Qi and Li Qin, and the two women immediately left sensibly. Before going out, they carefully closed the door, and told Dai Yi outside the door about His Highness's will, and then they both rested.
Zhu Jianji squeezed his wife's arm and pointed to the design on the rice paper with his other hand, "This kind of warship will be made entirely of steel and will not rely on wind as power -"
Bai Li has very little interest. As a woman, she has no interest in steel.
Zhu Jianji had no choice but to give up.
He flipped through the design drawings on the side and took out another design drawing. "Look at this. It's a spinning machine I designed. It's several times more efficient than traditional spinning machines."
Bai Li looked at it carefully for a while, "Not much has changed. There have been improvements in some places. The biggest difference is that the horizontal spindles have become upright, and there are several of them together?"
Zhu Jianji said: "That's right. The Ministry of Industry cannot promote this for the time being. If this thing is promoted, many people in textile workshops will lose their jobs. So the most important thing now is to increase the production of cotton and linen and increase the investment in cotton yarn.
The usage demand and the change in supply and demand relationship will promote the emergence of this textile machine."
In fact, it is a Jenny machine, solving people's livelihood problems first, and then promoting industry.
Steel battleships are very important and have a bearing on the Ming Dynasty’s maritime power.
But the most important thing is transportation.
Once the steam engine was completed, four vertical and four horizontal roads and railway lines had to be arranged.
Bai Li snorted, with a smile as bright as a flower, and with his heart trembling and his face flushed, he breathed out in Zhu Jianji's ear, "Just say what you say, and don't touch it with your hands."
Zhu Jianji chuckled.
A series of thunder suddenly broke out in the night sky.
The heavy rain is coming.
Well, there was also a violent storm in the Wenhua Palace.
…
…
Duke Yansheng's first court meeting after arriving in Beijing attracted much attention.
Zhu Jianji rarely goes to Fengtian Palace to do anything recently, leaving all political affairs to Lao Zhu. After all, a person's energy is limited, and Zhu Jianji still wants to enjoy life while struggling.
I have a lovely wife at home...
Therefore, he and Zhu Qiyu formed a tacit understanding. Regarding trivial government affairs such as flood control, disaster relief, and taxation, the Qianqing Palace made decisions involving the removal of officials from central departments, firearms research and development, military and horse deployment, and policy reforms. He first asked the Wenhua Palace for their intentions.
In recent court gatherings, the most popular thing Zhu Qiyu said was, "If you have something to do, go to the Wenhua Palace to see the prince, but if you have nothing to do, leave the court."
Baiguan was speechless for several days.
Which one of you, father and son, is the emperor?
From ancient times to the present, I have never seen an emperor and a prince who get along so harmoniously.
I used to be an only child, so it's understandable.
But now there is Blessed King Zhu Jianjin.
Instead, His Majesty indulged His Highness the Crown Prince even more.
