Chapter 405: Boiled Frog in Warm Water
In Zhang Guanchang's surprised eyes, Ye Xun continued: "Do you think I'm stupid? Or are you thinking that the person surnamed Ye feels that he is not powerful enough and is ready to wipe out all the Zhu family? to reach their own ulterior secrets"
"Before I didn't develop Liaodong, the annual tax revenue of the Ming Dynasty was only more than four million taels, and most of this silver had to be spent on the clan, so that the military salaries and salaries were in arrears year after year, resulting in the slack of military equipment in the border army, and the soldiers had no intention of fighting, and the officials' minds were used on how to make money, what is the future of such a country?"
"I issue new coins, advocate opening the sea to trade, make the country rich and strong, and benefit the people of the country, but not those descendants of the Zhu family who only know how to eat and wait for death, I just learned that the silver I got back will soon run out, because according to the ancestral system, the imperial court must not owe the clan rice and silver"
"The embankment of the Yellow River needs to be reinforced, the victims of the two Huai need to be rescued, and the silver on the nine sides must also be allocated in time. But hey! ”
Speaking of excitement, Ye Xun couldn't help but let out a sigh, took a sip of wine and moistened his throat, and when the spicy wine flowed down his throat and into his stomach, Ye Xun's anger came up again.
"Ye Moujie eunuch, there is no concern behind me, I just want to create a peaceful and prosperous world for me in my lifetime"
Ye Xun's words are certainly contrived, but most of them are from the bottom of his heart, don't blame him for being angry, if it weren't for the fact that the capital didn't stop, he was going to inspect the nine sides, but now he had to cancel the trip.
Zhang Guanchang was deeply shocked by Ye Xun's remarks, he never expected that the eunuch who was scolded by others would have such great ambitions in his chest.
According to his understanding, Ye Xun is definitely a selfless person, because Ye Xun is a eunuch, and if he dies, he will die, and he will not be remembered by his family, and he will even be infamous on his back.
And after all, Jiangshan belongs to the old Zhu family, no matter how well it is governed, it has nothing to do with Ye Xun in the end.
Therefore, Ye Xun can only be understood as a peerless loyal minister who is dedicated to the country.
After being silent for a while, Zhang Guanchang said: "My father-in-law should know the truth of boiling frogs in warm water, so this matter is feasible, but I can't rush it."
Ye Xun sighed and said, "I also know that we can't be in a hurry, but where should we start?" ”
Zhang Guanchang smiled slightly, and said: "First of all, please pass on the decree of Your Majesty, the feudal king's division of various places is the ancestral system set by Emperor Hongwu, and no one is allowed to change it, father-in-law can rest assured, as long as the will comes out, all rumors will be self-defeating."
"The vassal kings of the world, there are many lawless things, isn't it easy to punish crimes? But before doing these things, the first thing that the father-in-law has to solve is the King of Shu, not to say how difficult this person is, but the King of Shu is the richest of the Ming vassal kings, and occupies the geographical advantage of Shuzhong, if he wants to rebel, he only needs to block the passage in and out of Shu, and the father-in-law wants to solve him, but it will be difficult."
Ye Xun nodded thoughtfully, he had always heard about the wealth of the King of Shu.
The name of this Shu king is Zhu Fengquan, and he is the thirteenth grandson of the first Shu king Zhu Chun, but it seems that he has a good reputation.
Thinking of this, he suddenly smiled and said, "Brother Zhang plans to live in seclusion here for the rest of his life?" ”
Zhang Guanchang also smiled, if Ye Xun hadn't said that just now, he would still classify Ye Xun as a eunuch, but now it's different, if you can follow Ye Xun to do something in a real way, you won't live up to what you have learned!
Time passed quickly, Ye Xun came and went, and more than a month passed.
The first thing I did when I returned to the capital was to visit Baozhu first, Baozhu's belly had not yet been revealed, but the entire palace was almost all around her.
Hearing that Ye Xun was back, the women of Baozhu were also very happy, and immediately ordered a banquet, in a sense, this Kunning Palace is about to become Ye Xun's bedroom.
Strange to say, when Ye Xun led the army to appear outside the city, all the rumors in the city suddenly disappeared, as if they had made an appointment.
Ye Xun didn't seem to know anything, on the way to Kunning Palace, he first pretended to go to see the emperor, and then a decree came out of the palace, reiterating that the imperial court had no intention of withdrawing the vassals.
Jinyiwei and Xichang have sent elites to strictly inspect the densely populated restaurants and tea shops.
This trick seems reckless, but it is very effective, plus Ye Xun has just returned from a victory, if anyone puts a basin on his head again, it is purely looking for death.
The palace was busy, but the Kunning Palace was happy, all the subordinates were driven out, and after only their own family members were left in the palace, the red sleeves and the little sisters of the Hua family immediately surrounded the small basket.
In ancient times, women changed from girls to women, their hairstyles were to be changed, and they were besieged and teased by several good sisters, and Xiao Luo was shy and a little proud, because she finally had to taste what she wanted.
Lonely and lonely on the way back, Ye Xun naturally did everything that should be done, and it can be regarded as fulfilling one of Xiaoluo's wishes. Besides, Ye Xun can be regarded as a superhero.
Ye Xun sat beside Baozhu, gently stroking Baozhu's lower abdomen, with a look of yearning, he was finally going to be a father, and he wanted to make this son the king of the most powerful empire in the world, which was exciting to think about.
"What if it's a daughter?"
Baozhu knew some of Ye Xun's thoughts, and couldn't help but ask.
Ye Xun was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "What's wrong with my daughter?" Haven't you heard that your daughter is her parents' little padded jacket? Intimate, haha! ”
This is Ye Xun's heart, although he really hopes that the first child will be a boy, but in fact, he likes girls the most.
Baozhu could feel that Ye Xun was talking from his heart, and said with a smile: "Isn't it time to name the child?" ”
This is a bit embarrassing for Ye Xun, because if his son wants to inherit this empire, he can't have his surname, and as a member of the royal family, the name has to be according to the Zhu family tree, and it can't be messed with.
After a moment of silence, he said, "Let's give it a name!" The boy's name is Zhen, which means that the eight directions are powerful, and the daughter's name is Ping, which means peace and security"
Baozhu savored the two names for a while, and said: "I like peace and security, if it is a daughter, it will be called Shuangshuang, is Zhen'er's name too blunt?" ”
Ye Xun smiled and shook his head, and said: "It's not easy to fight the country, it's even more difficult to defend the country, if you don't have the ability to subdue the Quartet, you will still be like some people after all."
This certain person, of course, refers to Zhu Youxiao's father and son, although Zhu Changluo wanted to do something to make a performance, but he didn't subdue the people around him after all.
Therefore, Ye Xun will never let his son repeat the mistakes of the Zhu family's father and son.
The joy of Ye Xun's family in Kunning Palace continued, and in the secret room of Yongding Marquis Zhao Nanqi's house, there was also a small gathering quietly going on.
As Ye Xun and Zhang Guanchang said before, whether it is the rectification of the Beijing camp or the upcoming cutting of the feudal domain, Ye Xun has already touched the bottom line of some people, and these people are becoming more and more unable to tolerate Ye Xun
