Chapter 28: I am very interested in your son Wang Yangming

Although Zhu Houzhao's royal exposition has ended, the shock it has brought to the civil official group has not ended.

The political enemies of the Hebu Shangshu Hangul have begun to instruct the Imperial Historian to take advantage of this to attack the Tobe Shangshu Hangul and others, criticizing them for their ineffective governance of the country.

In the end, it ended with the voluntary resignation of the Hubu Shangshu Hanwen, and the cabinet's vote opinion was also to agree to the resignation, which was no way, His Majesty the Ming Emperor was forced to sell goods on the street, and the Hubu Shangshu Hanwen could only carry the caustic monarch's father.

Zhu Houzhao didn't expect that he would just open a royal exposition to make some money for himself, and by the way, he would promote the commercial trade of the Ming Dynasty, but it would lead to a household Shangshu because of this, Zhu Houzhao was still quite guilty, and by the way, he rewarded Han with 500 taels of homecoming expenses.

Zhu Houzhao is now generous, just a royal exposition has made him earn more than 300,000 taels of silver, not to mention that now the internal treasury has also returned to his hands, so rewarding the minister with five hundred taels of silver is nothing, he originally wanted to reward one thousand taels, but he was still a little reluctant to deduct and search for five hundred taels in line with the reason that these scholars and servants are not poor anyway.

Even if it was five hundred taels, it was also rewarded by the emperor, and Hanwen, the head of the household, also received it gratefully, and returned to his hometown in Shanxi helplessly.

The Hangul of the Household Department is gone, and the remaining positions of the Household Department Scholars naturally have to be re-elected.

Zhu Houzhao found that his plan to control the government seemed to have been disrupted, he originally wanted to overthrow the imperial horse eunuch first, but now Liu Daxia, the secretary of the military department, was killed by himself, and it was the head of the household department who resigned first.

In this way, the power of Liu Jian, the first assistant of the cabinet, and others had to be weakened again, and he, the emperor, could choose the head of the household again.

Now that Zhu Houzhao has taken back the internal funds, the household department is only in charge of the treasury, that is, the field tax and the poll tax, but Zhu Houzhao does not want to reform these taxes now, and he doesn't care too much about who will do it, but if it is not for Liu Jian, the first assistant of the cabinet, and others will naturally be more beneficial to himself, after all, in this case, the power of the cabinet will be limited, and his imperial power will be greater.

Ma Wensheng, the secretary of the ministry, chose a few more, and the two people who needed to be decided by Emperor Zhu Houzhao were still not Ma Wensheng's people, which is enough to show that Liu Jian and other cabinet ministers in the court still have a lot of power.

Zhu Houzhao elected Wang Hua, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, and was the secretary of the household department, mainly because of the two newly selected candidates for the secretary of the household department, one was Guo Yue, the secretary of the household department in Nanjing, and the other was Wang Hua, he was only familiar with Wang Hua, and knew that he was a person who did not form a gang and was not very good at being an official, so he naturally chose Wang Hua.

In addition, Zhu Houzhao felt that Wang Yangming was so deviant, and Wang Hua didn't kill him, which shows that this Wang Hua is a person who can tolerate rebellious personality, Zhu Houzhao thinks that he will do a lot of deviant things in the future, and Wang Hua is undoubtedly a minister who is very suitable for getting along with the rebellious king.

Zhu Hou met with Wang Hua, the new head of the household department, as usual.

Because a person like Wang Hua has a relatively high status in the literary world, some theories can easily cause a lot of turmoil when they directly find Wang Hua, even Liu Jin didn't have anything to do with him, and Zhu Houzhao didn't let Liu Jin and others develop Wang Hua as a member of the Zhongjun Society.

When he met Wang Hua, the new secretary of the household department, Zhu Houzhao only talked about government affairs and did not talk about party affairs: "The household department is not as idle as the Hanlin Academy, and it is not like the Ministry of Rites that manages all the Swen people. ”

Wang Hua was very surprised, because in the past, ministers taught His Majesty that he should govern the world, but now it is good, he came to see His Majesty as usual, but he was taught by His Majesty how to manage government affairs, and he was also rewarded with a copy of the "Outline of Governance"!

But Wang Hua couldn't help but accept it, although he didn't dare to believe that the fifteen-year-old young emperor could write any insights on governing the country, but the emperor gave the imperial gift, and as a courtier, he refused to resist the decree.

"Wechen obeys the order, and Wechen will carefully read His Majesty's work", Wang Hua took over the "Outline of Governance".

Zhu Houzhao nodded with satisfaction when he saw this, he just wanted to change the mode of governing the country in this way, that is, to change the model of Wenchen asking the emperor how to be a wise monarch to the model of the emperor asking the minister how to be a virtuous minister.

After chatting about business, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but talk about it, after all, he was very interested in Wang Hua's son Wang Yangming, if it weren't for Wang Yangming, he wouldn't have understood Wang Hua and would not have chosen Wang Hua as the head of the household:

"I also have a bamboo forest with excellent scenery in the Taiye Pool of the Royal West Garden, if Ling Lang is interested, you can come to me here to Gezhu, you can tell Ling Lang, if you have leisure, you can come at any time, I am very welcome."

Wang Hua was a little surprised, thinking to himself how His Majesty knew about his son's stupid things in Gezhu's past, and how could he be interested in his son.

Wang Hua only knew the temperament of the new emperor Zhu Houzhao in the outer courts, and only knew that His Majesty was cynical from other officials, so he thought that His Majesty still had a habit of rabbits and other things, and he was afraid that his son Chrysanthemum would not be safe, so he had to say embarrassedly: "Your Majesty, the dog has already been married and has passed the age of establishment." ”

"I don't let him be a colt, what does it matter if he gets married or not," Zhu Houzhao said.

Wang Hua was even more sure that Zhu Houzhao had any special habits, thinking that he really didn't expect His Majesty to have the intention of recruiting horses, but now it seems that he is not recruiting horses, it seems that he is really playing as a rabbit, how can this be good?

"Your Majesty, the dog has rough skin and thick meat, and its face is not very elegant, more like its mother," Wang Hua said busily.

"Eh, it turns out that Wang Yangming is an ugly monster!"

Zhu Houzhao was shocked, and secretly thought that history didn't seem to say what Wang Yangming looked like, but he still smiled and said:

"It doesn't matter, I don't let him be the face of the court, such as a spokesman or something, it doesn't matter what his appearance is, I just have a good impression of Ling Lang's temperament, Ling Lang's ideal is to be a saint through the ages, and my current ideal is to be an emperor through the ages, everyone is crazy! I like young people who are a little crazy! ”

Wang Hua couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, but he was suddenly shocked, he didn't expect that his son Wang Yangming's shocking words back then would also be known to His Majesty, and what he didn't expect was that His Majesty didn't blame his son for this, and it seemed to be as arrogant as his son back then! The words that come out always make people feel wrong, what kind of spokesperson, what ideals, etc.

If it weren't for the fact that Zhu Houzhao was a high-status emperor, Wang Hua would have directly reprimanded Zhu Houzhao.

But his son Wang Yangming, Wang Hua can beat or scold, but for His Majesty the Emperor Zhu Houzhao, Wang Yangming has no courage to beat and scold, so he can only advise: "Your Majesty wants to be an emperor through the ages, you can learn from Yao Shun, first cultivate yourself, and know morality." ”

"Okay, don't talk about these big truths, you can step down", Zhu Houzhao hurriedly interrupted Wang Hua's words and asked Wang Hua to step down.

And Wang Hua couldn't help but shake his head, thinking in his heart why the young people nowadays are like this, they love to talk big words but don't pay attention to reality, and they don't even want to listen to half a good word of the great sage who needs to do something, his son is okay, at most he will harm his own family, but His Majesty is the lord of a country, and if he goes on like this, he will not become an emperor through the ages, but a prince through the ages.
