Zhu Houzhao knew that his actions couldn't be hidden from his father, after all, his father's imperial heart was still very powerful, and his performance was also a little obvious.

"Erchen just thinks that Tang Bohu is a pity!" Zhu Hou looked at his father, and then said: "This person is rarely famous, Xie Yuan of Nanzhili, Erchen has long heard of him." This person is bold and uninhibited, and may be a little dissolute, but many people don't know what's going on, but Erchen has found someone to check. ”

"Tang Yin's parents, wife, son and sister all passed away within two years, and the originally harmonious and happy family is now the only one left."

Receiving this, Zhu Houzhao raised his head and looked at his father, and then said, "Who can bear this matter?" It's light if you don't commit suicide. ”

"Tang Yin's father has hoped to be able to study since he was a child, to be able to take the imperial examination, to be able to shine on the lintel, this Tang Yin is the descendant of Tang Jian, a famous minister of the Tang Dynasty, Tang Yin has also worked very hard since he was a child, and he doesn't want to disappoint his father, Tang Yin may only have his father's last wish for the imperial examination." Zhu Houzhao said this, and said with a wry smile: "But now I have been involved in the fraud of the science field again." ”

After listening to Zhu Houzhao's words, Zhu Youzhu was also indifferent, this person is too unlucky, right? The death of relatives in the family, this is nothing, the so-called moon is cloudy and sunny, and people have good and bad luck.

But this Tang Yin died several relatives in two years, and they were all close relatives such as parents, wives and children, all of them died, Zhu Youzhu couldn't help but think of a possibility, and said to his son Zhu Houzhao: "This is not the Tiansha Lone Star, right?" Let someone give him a command! ”

looked at his father speechlessly, and didn't speak, because Zhu Houzhao didn't know how to say it, could it be that there was no such thing in this world? This is not clear to the people of this era.

"Tang Yin, a person who is arrogant and arrogant, plus bereavement, so he is profligate, but he said that he cheated in the imperial examination, and his sons did not believe it. This person is really talented, he is Xie Yuan of Nanzhili, plus he came to the imperial examination to complete his father's will, if it is a fraudulent examination, how can he explain to his father under Jiuquan? ”

Zhu Houzhao continued: "If you punish him severely, Erchen will feel a pity! ”

Zhu Youzhu glanced at Zhu Houzhao, thought for a while and said, "Okay, this matter is handed over to my father!" Saying that, Zhu Youzhu thought for a while, and then said: "Originally, my father wanted to cut off their Shizi status, and then send them as minor officials, so as to deter the ministers. Since you think you should leave a little leeway, that's fine, send it to the Northwest Army for the first three years! After three years, let them come back to take the exam, as you said, arrogant and prodigal, just go to the northwest to learn about it. ”

Listening to his father's words, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but think of a picture in his heart, Tang Bohu's robe and coat standing on the city wall, opening his mouth to recite his proud work. A gust of northwest wind blew, raising up the yellow sand in the sky, which directly poured Tang Bohu's mouth.

"Father, Tang Bohu grew up in Jiangnan, and before he was sent to the Northwest Army, don't die there again?" Zhu Houzhao said with some hesitation.

People often say that the homeland is difficult to leave, on the one hand, it is homesickness, on the other hand, it is also because of the water and soil adaptation, people like Tang Bohu Jiangnan people get to the northwest to eat sand, even if he doesn't do anything, the environment there is enough for him to drink a pot.

This time, Zhu Youzhu did not agree to Zhu Houzhao but shook his head, and said in a deep voice with a serious face: "Those who become great things will inevitably suffer some hardships, besides, how can it be so easy to die, don't worry!" I will know from what you said, this Tang Yin is a hard-nosed person, the whole family is dead, he is still alive, and it is not so easy to die. ”

Zhu Houzhao was speechless for a moment, what kind of hard-nosed person is not the same as Tiansha Lone Star, but Zhu Houzhao also knows that this is his father's last concession.

Anyway, this matter must be punished, otherwise there is no way to explain, and it is okay to do this now, just send him to the northwest to exercise, so as not to wander all day long.

The father and son reached an agreement on this matter, wrote down the handling opinions in the question book in their hands, and then put it on the other side, Zhu Youzhu looked at his son, nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "Have you read the excerpt of Yanzheng?" ”

"It's all here!" Zhu Houzhao nodded: "I asked them to do the classification, and all the excerpts about salt politics are here!" As he spoke, Zhu Houzhao pointed to a stack of folds not far away.

Nodding, Zhu Youzhu reached out and picked up the question book, then flipped through a few copies, and finally said helplessly: "I really have everything to say!" ”

"It's normal!" Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "Some people want power, some people want money, some people want everything, some people don't want anything, they simply think it's okay or not, it's hard to reconcile!" ”

"Some people say that the establishment of the Salt and Iron Department is redundant officials, some people say that this is indeed conducive to the management of the salt administration, some people say that the Salt and Iron Department should not be placed under the household department, but should be a separate yamen, and some people also say that the Salt and Iron Department should be placed under the cabinet." Zhu Youzhu immediately smiled when he thought of this: "Are these because the power of the cabinet is too small?" ”

Zhu Houzhao heard the ridicule of this sentence, obviously the power of the cabinet is not small, very big, very big, if the salt and iron division is returned to the cabinet, then it will set a precedent for the cabinet to be directly under the yamen, and the destructive power will be great.

You must know that although the cabinet is powerful, it is the emperor's secretary-type body, which is an auxiliary, and the cabinet has usurped power for so many years. If it weren't for the fact that there were other cabinet ministers sharing power, then the cabinet chief assistant would be a veritable prime minister.

Since Yu Qian, the power of civil officials has been strengthened, including the powerful cabinet scholars, from Liu Jian to Yang Tinghe in the back, Yan Song to Xu Jie, and then to Zhang Juzheng in the back, the emperor's power has been weakened step by step.

Emperor Jiajing fought all his life, but he didn't want to get power back, after Zhang Juzheng's death, the eunuchs sent out by Emperor Wannianli could be beaten to death, and finally they couldn't pay it back. It wasn't until the Emperor of the Apocalypse appointed Wei Zhongxian that he snatched back some power, but it was useless, and he died early. If the cabinet is now directly under the jurisdiction of the yamen, how powerful will the cabinet be? The emperor must have been hollowed out.

"The person who proposed this strategy, Erchen suggested that it should be sent to Liaodong to herd horses!" Zhu Houzhao threw the question book to the side and said angrily.

Seeing his son's appearance, Zhu Youzhu also smiled, and then said: "It seems that the ministers don't agree with each other, so this salt and iron division can be established, but how to set it up is a problem, what do you think?" ”

"Of course, it's under the household department!" Zhu Hou said as a matter of course, the Salt and Iron Division still has to be placed under the household department, and this matter has to be done in name.
