Chapter 36: Strong Push
Although it seemed cool to say this, Zhu Youzhu still scolded with a calm face: "Nonsense! ”
Zhu Houzhao is still so dismissive, there are more things to operate in the dark, not to mention now, won't it be the same in future generations? What he holds now is the imperial power, and the people at the bottom are not sensitive to these, but the power game at the top level has no impact on the lives of the people, in Zhu Houzhao's view, this is a small thing.
If it is related to the people's livelihood, then the small thing is also a big thing, but the change of power at the top level is a small matter in Zhu Houzhao's view.
No one will rebel because of this, and even if they do, what can they do? With the Black Dragon Army in his hands and the support of the powerful who hold the military power, you can try to rebel. As for the gentry's noise, you don't have to take it to heart at all, if you don't want to do it, then change someone who is willing to do it, Zhu Houzhao still doesn't believe that no one is willing to do it.
Even if they are willing to do it, they have a worse character and like to be greedy for money, and they cause much less damage than these people.
Besides, the issue of corruption is another issue, and cracking down on corruption will definitely not cause such a big public opinion, and it will be applauded by the people. Glancing at his father, Zhu Houzhao didn't choke hard, and asked directly: "What does my father think he should do?" ”
Zhu Youzhu listened to his son's words, and was stunned for a moment, to be honest, he didn't know what to do, things had come to this point, unless he pushed hard.
In fact, the reform of the past generations is the same, if you want to coordinate or want to convince everyone, it is absolutely impossible, what is reform? To put it bluntly, it is a non-violent redistribution of social resources, if it is a violent redistribution of social resources, it is a revolution, and at this time in the Ming Dynasty, it is a rebellion and a change of dynasty.
But how many times has this violent social resource redistribution been carried out? Which time is not to knock down the old and build a new one.
But isn't it the same as before? Therefore, it is called rebellion, and revolution is to overthrow the old and establish a truly new one.
Zhu Houzhao is the crown prince, the future emperor, he is the biggest vested interest in feudal society, go to revolution, unless Zhu Houzhao is crazy. In such a situation, the best option is the non-violent redistribution of social resources, that is, reform. Since it is a reform and a redistribution of social resources, it is necessary to transfer the excess to what is not available or lacking.
In such a situation, the part that has the resources of society will inevitably prevent reform, that is, the diehards, there is no room for bargaining, and no one will want to contribute what they have to share with others. If there are such resource owners, then there is no need for reform, and the purpose of reform is not to force them to take out resources for redistribution?
Therefore, if you want to reform and bring down the current vested interests, that is what must be done, and Zhu Houzhao is unwilling to call these people diehards or conservatives.
They may be stubborn, but they are definitely not conservative, and they don't see the benefits of reform? Don't they know that the Ming will be stronger after the reform? Of course they know, they can see it, but the benefits are not his, but he will still lose, they will inevitably become opponents, and if they want to reform, they must be defeated.
Since they are unwilling, then force them to be willing in a powerful way, and the imperial power has this strength, or the strong centralized power has this strength.
Glancing at his son, Zhu Youzhu sighed and said with a wry smile: "Do you really want to push it so strongly?" ”
"I really want to!" This time, Zhu Houzhao replied very seriously: "If anyone is against it, then whoever goes home, and the Tao is not the same." ”
After being silent for a long time, Zhu Youzhu slowly said, "Then do as you say!" ”
The next day, a news came out, and public opinion in the court was in an uproar, because the emperor had issued an order to set up a staff office. The reason given is very simple, that is, most of the ministers are in favor of the establishment of the staff office. The holy decree is very clear, Your Majesty has the heart of heaven and the will of the people, and the General Staff Office has entered the stage of actual establishment.
In such a situation, someone can't stand it, and this person is the head of the household, and he went directly to the excerpt.
The reason is naturally the usual reason, old and unusable, after this performance is folded, public opinion is more intense, the spearhead is all pointed at the cabinet, the three cabinet scholars do not act, only care about conforming to the holy will, is a minister, for a time the pressure on the cabinet increased sharply. Tong Zhong's resignation has not yet been approved, and everyone is now waiting for the cabinet to make a statement.
In the eyes of most civil officials, if the cabinet is resolute, or even threatens to resign, His Majesty can retract his order, and some even hope that the cabinet will return the holy decree.
Zhu Houzhao doesn't care about these at all, what is he doing? At the meeting, the place was the East Palace, and it was the nobles of the Ming Dynasty who were anxious, of course, not all the nobles, but the nobles who served in the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has not yet arrived, but the atmosphere at the scene is not relaxed, but it looks a little dignified, and the nobles know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a big matter.
Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince took over the Jingying, there has never been such a meeting, and now the DPRK and Central Staff Office is in an uproar, and the nobles naturally know about it. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince summoned everyone to a meeting at this time, which is naturally extraordinary. Of course, there is another unusual place, that is, Zhang Heling, the Marquis of Shouning, is also there.
In the past few days, the status of Zhang Heling, the Marquis of Shouning, has been very high, but he has no position in the Beijing camp, and he is a nobleman, not a nobleman.
However, the nobles present also knew that Zhang Heling, Marquis of Shouning, was the spokesperson of His Royal Highness the Prince, and he had been running outside the palace for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the past few years. In the past few years, fifty percent of the money everyone has made in the salt administration is to be given away, all of which are for His Royal Highness the Prince, obviously this time His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does not need Zhang Heling, Marquis of Shouning.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince personally went down, naturally it would not be a trivial matter, so the atmosphere was very dignified, and this atmosphere was slightly alleviated as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince walked in.
Zhu Houzhao's gaze swept over the faces of the nobles present, and said with a smile: "Excuse me, excuse me, this palace has long wanted to find a chance to talk to you, and there has been a delay in something, but I didn't expect it to drag on until now." ”
Everyone hurriedly echoed and laughed, no matter how ugly the smile was, at this time, you must laugh along, and the atmosphere of the scene naturally eased.
"You are all nobles of the Ming Dynasty, and your ancestors have made great contributions to the country, so this palace will not tell you about the merits of your ancestors one by one, but this palace has a number in my heart." Zhu Houzhao continued to smile.
