Chapter 37: Yang Pu's Problem

It's not that Yang Pu didn't do well.

In fact, the old ministers left behind from the Yongle period are experienced and have seen all the winds and waves. It's a lot better than the younger generation.

Cao Nai, Wang Zhi and others, they can't say that they are bad, but compared to these old ministers, they inevitably owe a rank.

But Zhu Qizhen had to admit one thing, that is, his rank as the emperor was not high, and he couldn't suppress these old ministers.

This time, Wang Zhen's matter is very clear.

If Zhu Qizhen has enough authority, does Yang Pu dare to do this?

Zhu Qizhen could only act as if nothing had happened, and calmly discussed the following matters with Yang Pu, as if Zhu Qizhen, who was bent on protecting Wang Zhen before, did not exist at all.

However, if it is going to become a big thing, Zhu Qizhen can endure it. As long as it is conducive to the great cause of the world, Zhu Qizhen has nothing to bear.

It's just that Zhu Qizhen felt the huge difference between Yang Pu and him in the war of the tile spurs.

This divide is irreconcilable.

Now that the war is still in the preparation stage, the two sides can still live in peace.

But once the big war starts, when the time comes to fight on the front line, I don't know how many things need support from behind. If Yang Pu makes such a thing again.

How should Zhu Qizhen end.

Today, Wang Zhen calmed down the turmoil. Will he give in on the scale of the war in the future?

This is absolutely impossible.

Zhu Qizhen was well aware of the thoughts of most of the Wenchen, including Sanyang, who had experienced six northern expeditions of the Yongle Dynasty, and in the end they lost money and did not completely destroy the Mongols.

It can be said that the civilian-bureaucratic clique has lost confidence in the destruction of Mongolia.

felt that Emperor Taizong couldn't do it, and he Zhu Qizhen didn't know what to do.

For the tile spur to sit on the big and threaten the border security, the civilian officials naturally support the fight against the tile spur, but this kind of war, and Zhu Qizhen's mind of the war to destroy Mongolia, is not mentioned at all.

Because Zhu Qizhen knew very well that without destroying Mongolia and eliminating external troubles, it was impossible for the imperial court to carry out internal reforms, let alone implement a maritime strategy.

The strategic center of gravity of the imperial court cannot be separated from the nine sides.

Then the human and financial resources of the imperial court can only be tied to the nine sides, and nothing can be done.

Therefore, when fighting with the tile spur, Yang Pu must not be in the first auxiliary position, no, it is not that Yang Pu cannot be there. Rather, Zhu Qizhen needs a civilian government that is completely subordinate to Ouchi.

Otherwise, Zhu Qizhen didn't dare to guarantee that halfway through the battle, the civil officials would make some more trouble.

Zhu Qizhen didn't think about this matter so urgently. It's just that Wang Zhen's matter reminded Zhu Qizhen of the truth. When it matters, he can't trust anyone.

The so-called trust is that someone has the ability to do it, believing that he will not do it.

What Zhu Qizhen wants to do is to make no one have the ability to betray him

Force. Based on this principle, Zhu Qizhen understands very well that many systems in the imperial court will become stacked beds and frames.

However, it was something he had to do.

It's just that Yang Pu in front of him is the big problem that Zhu Qizhen is facing.

How to take Yang Pu?

Zhu Qizhen thought about it, but he didn't come up with a way for a while.

Yang Pu was up and down, but he didn't have a handle. is honest and fair, although he is ruthless and vicious in political disputes. Just like this one.

If Yang Pu smuggled the border pass alone to attack Wang Zhen.

Zhu Qizhen decided to save Wang Zhen's life, and Yang Pu increased the weight one by one, letting Zhu Qizhen weigh the pros and cons, and there was no way to retreat.

But on top of private morality, Yang Pu really picks well.

Of course, it doesn't mean that if you can't make mistakes in personal morality, Zhu Qizhen won't be able to rectify him. It's just too much to pay.

Although the emperor has the ability to lift the table, Zhu Qizhen and the civil official system are complementary to each other, and Zhu Qizhen breaks the rules.

I'm afraid it will upset a lot of people.

Therefore, until the last moment, Zhu Qizhen tried his best to do things within the rules of the game recognized by everyone.

Although, in the midst of this kind of game rules, Zhu Qizhen has been deflated repeatedly.

At this moment, Zhu Qizhen suddenly had a new understanding of the murder case of Yang Shiqi's son, which the Empress Dowager had never known.

Perhaps, it is to overturn Yang Shiqi's sharp weapon when necessary.

For the emperor, a courtier who is too perfect is really not very useful.

Zhu Qizhen thought about it, but he could only think of Yang Pu's body.

After all, Yang Pu is in his seventies, and his body is not very good. Is it to think of a way to let Yang Pu tell the old. In this way, it will not seem mean to the heavenly family, but also remove its own stumbling blocks.

It's just that Zhu Qizhen quickly understood that he was too tender compared to an old fritter like Yang Pu.

After Yang Pu left Ouchi, he looked back at the Forbidden City behind him deeply, and said secretly in his heart: "This time, I will offend Your Majesty miserably." However, His Majesty is still too young. ”

Yang Pu has been pressed for most of his life, and it is easy to ascend to the position of the first assistant of the cabinet, and he can show his ambitions and prove that he is no worse than Yang Shiqi and Yang Pu.

How could he have given up his current position.

The more he understood, his time was short, and he might not need today's shoes when he got up tomorrow.

In this last moment, he was unwilling to give up every inch or minute.

Yang Shiqi has been the first assistant of the cabinet for nearly 20 years, supporting the second master, and he has long been tired of the government. Coupled with the death of his son, this is disheartening.

But Yang Pu had already arranged the aftermath properly. Alone in the city of Beijing, he didn't even bring his son, and his heart can be expressed.

For a certain type of politician, political life can be equal to biological life.

And Yang Pu is such a person.

But as long as there is a breath, as long as the mind is still clear, he will have to do a part, a point.

Since Yang Pu was in this mood, he was not much afraid of Zhu Qizhen. If you talk about political means, Zhu Qizhen really owes Yang Pu two ranks. In terms of status, I'm sorry, Yang Pu, who is coming to the end of his life, doesn't even care about ghosts and gods.

Do you still care about Zhu Qizhen?

Although later generations of science and science were derived from superstition, none of these real Confucian scholars believed in ghosts and gods.

Yang Pu returned home, grinded it himself, and slowly wrote a note, which is the beggar bones.

First to the person.

Yang Pu's move has not yet arrived in the palace. But Zhang Fu has already arrived.

Zhang Fu asked Zhu Qizhen to retreat, immediately knelt on the ground, and said, "The old minister is here to ask Your Majesty for his guilt." ”

Seeing this, Zhu Qizhen was taken aback, quickly got up, helped Zhang Fu up with both hands, and said, "Guogong, why not stop here?" If you have something to say, just say it. ”

Zhang Fu didn't dare to resist, don't look at Zhang Fu's age, but as soon as Zhu Qizhen came into contact, he felt the strong muscles on Zhang Fu's body.

It can be seen that although Zhang Fu is old, his physical fitness has not fallen at all.

Zhang Fu got up and said, "Your Majesty, regarding the smuggling of weapons on the nine sides, the minister has a lot of affection. ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "Guogong sat down and spoke. ”

After Zhang Fu sat down, he told the story one by one.

Zhu Qizhen said with a disappointed face: "Guogong, Jing Nanxun and Gui have all followed Emperor Taizong's Northern Expedition, I don't know how many people died in the hands of the Tartars, I don't know how many Tartars died in the hands of the imperial court, and Mahamu also died indirectly in the hands of Emperor Taizong, so deep hatred, will you forget?" ”

Zhang Fu's face was flushed with shame, and he didn't know what to say. He knelt down again and said, "In this matter, the minister is guilty of not investigating, please punish Your Majesty." ”

Zhu Qizhen's pupils shrank slightly, and he didn't know if Zhang Fu was really ashamed or forced to be uterus.

Zhu Qizhen really doesn't have the ability to replace all these Jing Nan nobles. Zhu Qizhen said: "Where is Chengguo Gong? ”

Zhang Fu said: "Just wait outside the palace for Your Majesty to deal with." ”

Zhu Qizhen said, "Let him come in." ”

Someone immediately went to invite Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo.

As soon as Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, arrived, he didn't say a word, knelt on the ground, and said, "The minister is guilty of death." ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "You are all gold-free gold medals, and you are meritorious ministers of the imperial court, even if you don't read your face, I have to look at the face of King Dongping." ”

The king of Dongping was Zhu Yong's father, Zhu Neng, who was posthumously crowned King of Dongping after his death.

"I can't ask about this matter, but you have to deal with your own affairs, and this time you will lead the team to inspect the nine sides. Any idea what to do? ”

Zhu Yong listened and said, "The minister understands. ”
