Chapter 50: Cleaning up the moths
Zhang Heling was in tandem everywhere, since it was a tandem, this news naturally couldn't be hidden, so it quickly spread, and there was a lot of discussion for a while, and public opinion began to pay attention to this matter, but the civilian officials were not active, after all, this matter did not have a big impact on them, they just held a cold sideline attitude.
Many people are still waiting to see Zhang Heling's liveliness, after all, Zhang Heling's doing this is purely an act of death.
In comparison, the establishment of the staff office has made everyone pay more attention, after all, everyone in the court knows that this staff office must be a power department. Now that the establishment of the General Staff Office cannot be stopped, how to get a piece of the general staff office is something that many people consider, and this matter has naturally become the top priority.
The wind direction of the courtiers adjusted very quickly, and they had no fun playing the positions of the five major staff officers, but they could still fight for the walking of the staff office.
Zhu Houzhao sneered at the ideas of these people, in comparison, Zhu Houzhao attaches more importance to the walking of the staff office, different from the five major staff officers, these five major staff officers are, to a certain extent, they are decorations, and the walking of the staff office is the real future real power, this is the reserve force cultivated by Zhu Houzhao, how can Zhu Houzhao not value it.
At this moment, in Xianyang Palace, Zhu Houzhao was listening to the report, the expression on his face was not very good, and it was none other than Zhang Heling, the Marquis of Shouning, who came to report.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, this is the situation in the past few days, most of the nobles are saying to think about it, but there is no answer so far." Speaking of this, Zhang Heling suddenly smiled bitterly, the expression on his face was not very good-looking, in Zhang Heling's opinion, even if these people don't support themselves, they won't behave like this, right?
But these people are like this, they don't stand up against it, they just drag, who can stand this?
Zhu Houzhao had thought of this a long time ago, and he also knew that it would be impossible for these people not to teach them a lesson, so he nodded and said, "This palace knows." ”
Zhang Heling was slightly stunned, originally he thought that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would lose his temper, but he didn't expect that it was just such an understatement, this is not in line with the temper of his nephew of the prince! But the next moment, Zhang Heling knew that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was really angry, and then I was afraid that something bad would happen.
But this made Zhang Heling breathe a sigh of relief, at least he stopped for the time being, he couldn't sleep well all night these days!
"Your Highness!" At this time, Liu Jin walked in from outside, stood respectfully and shouted.
Zhu Houzhao was slightly stunned, you must know that you are talking to Zhang Heling, under normal circumstances, Liu Jin will never come out to make trouble at this time, and now that Liu Jin has actually stood up, obviously there is something wrong! Glancing at Liu Jin, Zhu Houzhao nodded and said, "What's the matter?" Go ahead! There was no intention of letting Zhang Heling avoid it.
"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, the news just came from outside the palace that the British Duke supports Zhuang Tian to pay taxes, and he is still lobbying other nobles." Liu Jin hurriedly said: "Now there are a few lobbyists. ”
Listening to Liu Jin's words, both Zhu Houzhao and Zhang Heling were stunned, Zhu Houzhao didn't expect it, and then nodded with relief, sure enough, there is still an acquaintance. As for Zhang Heling, he is even more bitter, and now he realizes that he still can't be compared with an old national prince like the British Duke.
If you lobby by yourself, people are procrastinating, but now that the British public is lobbying, they directly agree, this is the difference!
This incident stimulated Zhang Heling very much, and he made up his mind in his heart, he would train his own children well when he went back, he must enter the martial arts academy, learn his skills well, and make military achievements, and his Zhang family will also have a national prince.
Zhu Houzhao naturally didn't have time to make up his mind, Zhang Heling made up his mind next to him, nodded and said, "Got it!" As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Zhang Heling and said, "Uncle doesn't have to do anything after he goes back, just wait at home safely." After speaking, Zhu Houzhao waved his hand and motioned for Zhang Heling to step back.
"So, the minister retires!" Zhang Heling agreed, bowed and turned around and walked out.
When Zhang Heling left, Zhu Houzhao stood up and instructed Liu Jin: "Go, go to Qianqing Palace." After saying this, Zhu Houzhao walked out first.
Zhu Youzhang's mood has been good these days, because he found that his son was actually right sometimes, and this time the matter of the staff office was actually like this, which was really unexpected! In fact, if Zhu Houzhao knew that his father was in a good mood for this, he would feel very sad, because this means that the Ming Dynasty has entered an era where the emperor needs to play tricks.
This is the sorrow of a country, and it is really very difficult to change this, but this is its own business, let Dad be happy first!
Walking into the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Houzhao bowed down and said, "Father! ”
The moment Zhu Youzhu saw his son, he was in a bad mood again, his son was good everywhere, but every time he came, he had to do something, obviously this time there was something again. Sitting on the dragon chair, Zhu Youzhu looked at his son and said with a serious face: "Say it!" What's going on this time? ”
"Back to my father, Xungui's side can move." Zhu Houzhao didn't go around the bend and said directly.
After listening to his son's words, Zhu Youzhu thought of the excerpt handed over a few days ago, which was basically the lawlessness of the three nobles: "What are you going to do?" ”
"Dismissal of officials and seizure of titles, confiscation of family property." Zhu Houzhao did not hesitate at all, and said directly.
"Isn't it too ruthless?" Zhu Youzhu didn't expect his son to be ruthless directly, but this is too ruthless, right? I couldn't help but hesitate a little: "These people are all meritorious ancestors, and this will make people say that the royal family is mean and unkind!" ”
Zhu Houzhao shook his head directly: "Father, these people are rampant in the township to make people feel that this is the royal family conniving at them, and the sons just want to tell these nobles and relatives, their titles, their fortunes, and their farms, this is still the reward given to them by the Ming Dynasty, and it is the royal reward for their ancestors' meritorious deeds, but these are not the reliance on them to oppress the good and run rampant in the township." ”
"The nobles of the Ming Dynasty are rotten, they have rotted to the roots, if they are not rectified, these nobles will become moths."
In fact, Zhu Houzhao is not alarmist, the nobles of the Ming Dynasty are rotten from this time, and there were nobles like Zhu Yong who can fight before, but what about after that? After that, it was gone, and it was Qi Jiguang, Yu Dayou, Sun Chuanting, Lu Xiangsheng, Xiong Tingbi, who could fight, and they had already seen the shadow of Xungui.
The nobles have completely become the moths of the Ming Dynasty, and if they do not become the beneficial insects of the Ming Dynasty, they will simply be cleaned up.
