Chapter Seventy-Six: Flesh and Blood

Looking at his father with a wry smile, Zhu Houzhao really didn't expect that in his impression, or in the records of later generations, it was the Zhongzheng Ying Dynasty, whether this statement was right or not, but these people should be right to scare the emperor if they have nothing to do, right? How did you do this?

Zhu Houzhao understands a little bit now, the emperor has no other powers, but he still has the power to replace people.

If he is the kind of official who is stupid, or steel, or who aims to scare the emperor all day long, he will not be able to enter the cabinet at all. Once he enters the cabinet, even if he used to like to scare the emperor, he will not really get along with the emperor, at most he will write a letter to the scholar, ask to resign and go home, to put it bluntly, I will not do it.

More often than not, there is a tacit understanding between the monarch and the ministers, especially between the emperor and the cabinet ministers, if this cannot be done, the cabinet ministers will not be able to do it.

Liu Jian, Xie Qian, and Li Dongyang are not only full of wisdom, but also have sufficient strategy, and they wanted to block the road for Xun Qi to participate in this matter from the very beginning, so when formulating the plan of the Salt and Iron Division, they directly stuffed it to the household department, and even the chief official was decided, that is, Wei Jifu, the left attendant of the household department.

However, things often did not develop according to their plan, and from the very beginning, in order to prevent the cabinet from interfering in the affairs of the Salt and Iron Division, some people directly threw out the Cabinet of the Salt and Iron Division.

In such a situation, it is difficult for the three cabinet scholars to interfere, this is to avoid suspicion, do you really want to directly subordinate to the salt and iron division? No cabinet scholar dared to do this.

The goal of the person who threw out this question was actually achieved, and the three cabinet scholars really couldn't stand up and say anything, and the plan to put the salt and iron division in the household department was originally proposed by them, and they couldn't go out to refute the ministers who opposed it, so they could only let their subordinates go.

The result was a quarrel, and then Xungui stepped in and directly deviated the matter.

At this time, it is impossible to insist on putting the Salt and Iron Division in the household department, and let Wei Jifu, the head of the household department, be the head officer, if the household department is pulled out, then the Xungui side will intervene, so he can only take the middle, that is, he will also put the salt and iron division to the household department, and then appoint another head officer, which is considered to be an agreement between the ministers and the ministers.

But if Xungui doesn't do it, then it depends on the emperor's attitude, the emperor is on Wenchen's side this time, then Xungui and Xunqi need to be appeased, this is a balance, otherwise the emperor will turn his face.

Marquis Shouning was reprimanded when he entered the palace, which also meant that the emperor had made a statement, and the cabinet could only hand over the name Qi You.

Although it seems that the process is simple, the whole process has always been a game, and the three cabinet scholars tried to completely nip the matter in the bud, but failed, and in the end they could only get such a result. If Liu Jian, the first assistant of the cabinet, has the power of Zhang Juzheng, then it is estimated that this matter will be suppressed early on.

It's a pity that this is the Hongzhi Dynasty, although Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, and Xie Qian are also prestigious, but their power is far behind.

After figuring out everything, Zhu Houzhao said to Zhu Youzhu with a smile: "My father is in control, and my son is not in charge!" ”

Zhu Youzhu immediately smiled, stroked his beard, and said with a bit of smugness: "Since the change of the civil fort in the Ming Dynasty, in fact, it has not eased up, and the Chenghua Dynasty Wan Guifei and Wang Zhi have been making trouble, and the court has not stopped. Since I ascended the throne, there has been a slight improvement in the past ten years. ”

"For this reason, my father did not dare to slack off for a day, and now the court is also straightened out, although the civil and military officials dare not say that they are close to the people and diligent in government, but they still have the heart to serve the country."

There is no need to consider the authenticity and self-boasting of this paragraph, what my father said is correct, this is political correctness, you can say whatever you want, but Zhu Houzhao found that he had made a mistake, a big mistake, he had been treating the current bureaucracy as the Donglin Party, and the Donglin Party had impressed him too much. When I think of the bureaucracy of the Ming Dynasty, the first thing that comes to mind is the Donglin Party, which is the party struggle in the late Ming Dynasty.

But now it is the Hongzhi Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty has not yet eroded to that extent, and the bureaucracy of the Ming Dynasty has not degenerated to the extent of the Donglin Party.

Even when the Donglin Party was in power, the Ming Dynasty perished, and there were different patriots, and there were different figures like the Three Princes of the Qing Dynasty. Although Confucianism has many shortcomings, and it has been transformed by later generations, the family and the country are also buried in the blood of the people in this land.

Although there are people in the court, there are also people with lofty ideals who are loyal to serve the country, and they can't overturn a boatload of people with one shot.

"Erchen is awake!" Zhu Houzhao hurriedly bowed and said, his face was very serious, and he looked like he had been taught.

In fact, Zhu Houzhao was really taught, and now he finds that many things are not as he thinks, or what he saw before. In my previous life, I saw a lot of information on the Internet, a lot of official history, and many people were labeled, but are they really like that?

This is a living Ming Dynasty, a living dynasty, and people living on this land are also living people.

It's not a piece of information, a video, or a piece of text, you need to feel it with your heart, and you need to think with your head.

Looking at his son's attitude, Zhu Youzhu nodded with satisfaction, since his son Zhang Luo Yanzheng's matter Zhu Youzhu has been watching from the side. Zhu Youzhu didn't pay much attention to the matter of the salt administration, the salt administration of the Ming Dynasty was already like this, what else could he do? The salt and iron division is not good, and these are not important compared to cultivating a son.

Judging from the process of his son's actions, Zhu Youzhu found that his son has wisdom and skill, although he is jerky and immature, but it is enough to surprise people.

However, Zhu Youzhu also found a problem, that is, his son seemed to have an inexplicable hostility towards the scholars, which was evident from his discussion of salt politics. Whether it is the tone and demeanor, or the disdainful words, all reflect this, Zhu Youzhu immediately realized that this is not good.

Originally, he wanted to reverse his son's idea by checking the Ye family, but it failed, and the Ye family didn't fight for himself.

This time, there is finally a chance for Zhu Youzhu to prove his point, and now he is naturally happy to see his son wake up.

Although Zhu Houzhao didn't know that he had been bouncing in his father's hands, he also felt that through this incident, he had grown a lot, at least faded away from the innocence when he first arrived in the Ming Dynasty, and it also made him more determined to better understand this country, this era, and this flesh-and-blood Ming Dynasty.
