Chapter 2 Intrigues

The officials of the Ming Dynasty rarely went straight to work, and there was only one Shen Chain and one Hai Rui for hundreds of years. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

It's a pity that one died miserably, and the other spent his whole life on the edge of officialdom and couldn't do anything.

Most officials do things by going around hundreds of bends, and only after peeling off the cocoon can they know where the focus of others is.

For example, this Liu Jing, on the surface, is participating in the unruly Tatars of the northern frontier, and regards the mutual market as empty words, hoping that His Majesty the Emperor will solve it as soon as possible.

In fact, the goal is to stretch out his hand to the matter of opening the sea ban in the south, and it is the real Xiang Zhuang sword dance intended for Pei Gong.

Tell the little emperor Zhu Houzhao through the question of the north that if you had followed the method of the cabinet, the Tatar side would never have taken risks because of the low price of goods, so your decision would not work, and you would have taken the opportunity to swing to the south.

Your Majesty, you are still young, you have to be more obedient and less to make your own decisions, and you still need to obey us old people for major affairs of the family and country.

It's a pity that Zhu Houzhao didn't understand the doorway at all, but he guessed something else from Liu Jing's words.

It was true that Zhu Houzhao made up the regulations of the mutual market, but only a few people in the cabinet and Liu Jin knew about it......

Liu Jin is a loyal minion, and his basic interests are tied to Zhu Houzhao, as soon as Zhu Houzhao came to power, this thing immediately ascended to heaven and became a eunuch of the master of ceremonies and a pen, and there is no reason to chew the root of his tongue.

Then the problem is obvious.

It was someone in the cabinet who revealed the news to Liu Jing, and then instructed Liu Jing to open his mouth, and then asked Zhu Houzhao to completely give up the idea of opening a sea ban.

The northern frontier is in chaos, and the granary in the south must not be chaotic anymore, this is the very simple idea of Liu Jian of the cabinet.

Zhu Houzhao grinned on the dragon chair, and he already vaguely smelled a hint of conspiracy.

But for a while, I didn't think of the issue of opening the sea ban.

In fact, although the ban has been in place for the past four years, the progress has been very slow. The Daming Sea Frontier is extremely vast, but it does not have enough strength to defend such a vast sea frontier.

Zhu Houzhao did not forget that the drawings of Zheng He's treasure ship were burned by Liu Daxia, without the drawings, it was impossible to build an aircraft carrier of the Ming Dynasty, and without the treasure ship, it would be difficult to solve the problem of rampant piracy at sea.

A long time ago, Zhu Houzhao began to let people start the affairs of building a big ship, and at the same time, although the cabinet people did it slowly, they were not without work, so Zhu Houzhao endured again and again on the issue of opening the sea ban.

The officials of the Ming Dynasty are good at treating doctors with sore feet, but Zhu Houzhao is a person who likes to have a headache and a sore doctor.

So after impatiently listening to Liu Jing's broken mouth, Zhu Houzhao immediately made a decision and said: "The next time that little prince dares to do such a bastard thing, he will immediately send troops to smoke the girl!" If necessary, I can also go out myself! ”

Liu Jing just said this, who knew that Zhu Houzhao didn't play cards according to the routine at all, and when he came up, he was beaten by Wang Baquan and directly beat Liu Jing into the ditch.

The Son of Heaven patrols the border! Isn't that funny?

If his words made the emperor move the idea of patrolling the border, then Liu Jing would not get the distress of the civil officials of the Manchu Dynasty even if he was killed.

As soon as Zhu Houzhao said it so casually, the court immediately became chaotic. Originally, the little prince who was in a hurry and almost destroyed the country immediately became a disease of scabies, and the ministers all shouted wildly to make Zhu Houzhao think twice, and never do such a dangerous thing as patrolling the border.

Ming Yingzong led an army of 200,000 to patrol the border, and then there was a civil fort change, which buried two cabinet ministers, one duke, two marquis and four uncles, and countless generals and imperial histories.

Even he fell into it, and he was very miserable and patrolled the territory of the first for many years.

The national strength of the Ming Kingdom collapsed.

After that, as long as the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty heard that the emperor wanted to drive the expedition in person, they were all terrified, and they had to obstruct it even if they fought hard.

We must not let the Ming Dynasty encounter another tragic change in the civil fort.

To say that Zhu Houzhao just said it casually before, but after seeing the obstruction of many ministers, he had a different kind of interest.

It stands to reason that Zhu Houzhao traverses two lifetimes, even if the two worlds plus one is not as old as Liu Jian, but he will definitely not lag behind in experience.

However, at this time, there was an inexplicable rebellious heart.

Zhu Houzhao once woke up in the dead of night, but it was useless.

Zhu Houzhao found that the disagreement between him and the minister was completely a disagreement between two different mentalities.

Zhu Houzhao is young and vigorous, bent on conquering the four seas and ruling the world, and is determined to forge ahead. I only think about how to make money, how to build troops, build sharp weapons, and do something beyond the cognition of the people of the Ming Dynasty, so it is absolutely normal not to be accepted by the minister.

In terms of courtiers, take Liu Jian as an example, this person is a veteran of the Three Dynasties, and his experience in administration is understandable, but he is too old and only seeks a stable word.

As long as he can continue the Ming Dynasty from the hands of the emperor he assists, he is willing to do anything.

But once he deviates from his predetermined track, then he will definitely try his best to obstruct it, especially since the emperor is still an unreliable child, and he is ordered by the previous emperor to maintain stability.

These two mentalities are essentially irreconcilable.

Unless it is to replace the emperor, or to replace these courtiers, and replace them with some young enthusiastic young people who can understand Zhu Houzhao's thoughts, such as Wang Shouren and Yang Shen.

When Zhu Houzhao has this thought, it is understandable to have some rebellion.

Liu Jian and others are all veterans who have contributed to the society, and after so many years of mixing, there is no credit to the master, and it is really not suitable to fry other people's squid inexplicably, and there is a sense of déjà vu of unloading the mill and killing the donkey.

So Zhu Houzhao can only make a decision.

Patrolling the border is the starting point of his method.

"Since the little Tatar prince has disturbed my border three times and twice and unilaterally tore up the mutual market treaty, then there is no reason why I should not meet the little Tatar prince in person." Zhu Houzhao said this very toughly, but unfortunately the little prince couldn't hear it.

Liu Jing is now about to die in frustration, and she regrets that she shouldn't have listened to Liu Ge's words to stab this basket.

In order to remedy this mistake that might have allowed him to leave the officialdom completely, Liu Jing immediately fell to the ground, and said with tears in her eyes: "Your Majesty must not personally make a risk, the matter of Yingzong is still in front of you!" The little prince robbed it, it's not a big deal, how can you work Your Majesty's golden body! ”

Zhu Houzhao pursed his lips and said, "I am not Yingzong, nor am I a golden body. Think about me, which of the emperors of the Ming Dynasty, Taizong, Renzong, and Xuanzong didn't personally patrol the border?

Taizu Taizong not only patrolled the border, but also drove the tartars to the desert to eat sand, so patrolling the border is the practice of our old Zhu family, and we can't waste food because of Yingzong's mistake.

Okay, it's decided, choose a day to leave Beijing to patrol the border! ”

Zhu Houzhao didn't give this group of people a chance to speak, and after getting up, he pulled Liu Jin and ran.
