When the treasury is empty, we can only borrow money from large households, and this is a vicious circle. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

If Hongji Tianzi wants to jump out of this cycle, he has to think of another idea.

The eunuchs were directly responsible to the emperor, and most of the money they were greedy for must have gone to the emperor's pocket.

The Ming Dynasty had no internal funds, which meant that the emperor's money was sent directly to the treasury, and the emperor or clan spent money directly from the treasury.

Therefore, the money that Eunuch Hu was greedy for went to the treasury as a matter of course.

Xie Shen finally understood why Emperor Hongzhi wanted to protect Hu Zhan.

Emperor Hongzhi protected Hu Zan not because he was deceived by traitors, but because he relied on Hu Zan to fill the treasury with money.

As long as Hu Zan can make money, he will have use value, and he is worthy of the protection of the Son of Heaven.

Of course, if Hu Zan goes too far and is attacked by a group, the Son of Heaven can also push him out as a scapegoat, and he can also copy his family and make a lot of money.

No matter how you look at it, this is a sure-fire deal.

From this point of view, Emperor Hongzhi was quite bitter as a last resort.

If you think about it, it's true.

The governance of every Lu'an Mansion made Xie Shen tired, not to mention thousands of miles away.

Emperor Hongzhi has to face all kinds of courtiers, and he can't believe what others say.

Although the emperor is the supreme of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, there are not a few people who treat the emperor as a monkey......

The eunuchs are directly responsible to the emperor, and it is their duty to carry the black pot or resist public opinion. For the eunuchs, this is also an opportunity in itself, and if they can handle it well, their status in the emperor's heart will be significantly improved.

At this moment, Xie Shen's heart was mixed.

It's not easy to be the king of a country!

"Your Majesty is wise."

Xie Shen's sentence is not a compliment, but a heartfelt word.

"Okay, I have told Xie Qing everything that should be said, I hope it will live up to me."

The corners of Emperor Hongzhi's mouth were slightly hooked, as if he was smiling.

"Panic!"

Xie Shen didn't even dare to say it, and Emperor Hongzhi waved his hand and said: "There are a lot of rights and wrongs in the Imperial Court, Xie Qing must not forget his heart." This is what I value most of you. ”

"Follow Your Majesty's teachings."

Xie Shen nodded and replied in a loud voice.

Coming out of the main hall of the Wenhua Palace, Xie Shen happened to meet the little prince walking out of the side hall when he passed by the side hall, and there was a group of attendants waiting on the side.

After all, Xie Shen is still an auxiliary minister of the East Palace, so he doesn't have to avoid suspicion like other foreign ministers, and when he sees the prince, he naturally has to come forward to pay respects.

"Minister Xie Shen see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

The little prince was obviously a little unfamiliar with Xie Shen, and only after being reminded by the attendant eunuch did he realize that this person was Xie Shen, the new right concubine of Zhan Shifu's Right Chunfang.

"Lord Xie is polite."

What complicated thoughts can an eight- or nine-year-old child have, he only knows that Xie Shen is also an auxiliary minister arranged by the emperor for him, and everything is according to the rules.

Xie Shen looked a little distressed.

Countless people envy being born in the emperor's family, but who knows the pain of being born in the emperor's family.

A child of this age, if he is in the hands of ordinary people, he must be held in the palm of his parents, but as the prince of the East Palace, he must always demand his words and deeds according to the standards of a saint.

He somewhat understood why the Zhengde in history changed his temperament and was greedy for fun after he ascended the throne.

Things must be reversed, and what was lost in childhood naturally wants to be recovered. When Zhengde was the prince, he was surrounded by virtuous celebrities, who were restrained to death. After he became the emperor, he naturally rejected those sour and rotten ministers from his heart, and favored those who would please him.

This is also why the Eight Tigers will be like a fish in water in the Zhengde Dynasty, while the orthodox ministers will be alienated.

Of course, Xie Shen does not want history to develop according to the existing trajectory, and if he wants to transform Zhengde, he naturally has to start from the beginning.

"I wonder what His Highness is reading?"

"Mr. told Gu about "Zizhi Tongjian".

Damn, Xie Shen almost scolded.

Which pig came up with the idea, the little prince is still so young, so he directly goes to the Zizhi Tongjian, which is simply against human nature.

Of course, the royal education is different from that of ordinary people, but it also depends on the specific age.

If you ask a doll who is less than ten years old to read Zizhi Tongjian, what kind of name can you read?

Don't you just know the skin, but don't know the deep meaning? Zhengde is to read through the general knowledge of governance, what is the point?

"Weichen thinks that His Highness can start reading the Analects and Mencius first."

As an auxiliary minister of the East Palace, the position of the right concubine is not low.

If Xie Shen couldn't speak because of his status before, now he should stand up and fight for the prince's education.

"Xie Jinxiu, what do you mean by this. How can His Royal Highness the Crown Prince read the Analects, Mencius. ”

Xie Shen looked up, wasn't this person the same year as Zhu Xi and Zhou Zhu, who had not been seen for a long time.

Why was he not in Beijing for half a year, and Zhu Xizhou ran to the prince's side?

Could it be that His Majesty issued a decree to tell Shu Jishi to disperse the pavilion ahead of schedule and send Zhu Xizhou to the crown prince to assist?

The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, and the facts have proved that Zhu Xizhou, a street fighter, is used for Xie Shen's feet, how can Xie Shen be afraid of him, and immediately said in a deep voice: "Why can't Your Highness read the Analects and Mencius?" ”

"This ......"

Zhu Xizhou was choked now.

The Analects and Mencius are essential basic readings for those who take the imperial examination. If these two books can't be read thoroughly, the imperial examination will definitely be useless.

But the prince is different, what the prince wants is to learn from history and learn the emperor's mental skills.

But this did not mean that the prince could not read the Analects and Mencius.

In other words, there is no contradiction between reading the Analects and Mencius and teaching the prince to learn from history and learn the emperor's mind.

Zhu Xizhou's original intention was to say that the prince didn't need to spend time learning these basic readings, but he wrapped himself into it.

Xie Shen arched his hand at the little prince again and said, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, Weichen dares to ask His Highness to study the Analects and Mencius. The minister will enter the palace every month to explain to His Royal Highness. ”

As the right concubine, it is the duty to teach the prince, and no one can find fault.

What's more, Xie Shen's situation is special, he served as a waiter in the East Palace as soon as the prince left the pavilion to study.

At that time, it was naturally difficult for people to say much, but now that he is a five-grade concubine, he will be too sorry for his identity if he doesn't speak out.

"Lone wrote it down."

Zhu Houzhao still looks like a little adult, and the straight people feel distressed when they see it.

I don't know what kind of hard-hearted people these people who teach the etiquette of the imperial court, Xie Shenzhi sighed with embarrassment.

Seeing the group of people hugging the prince away, Xie Shen shook his head.

It seems that the inertia of history is still very strong, and he has a long way to go to transform Zhengde.

......

......

Coming out of the palace, Xie Shen went straight back to the mansion.

As soon as I returned to the house, I saw two sedan chairs outside the door.

He looked at the sedan chair very familiarly, so he asked the doorman, "Which two adults are here?" ”

The door official replied respectfully: "Master Qiqi, it is the director of the Ministry of Officials Xie and the director of the Ministry of Works who are visiting. Now I'm eating tea in the side hall. ”

Wang Shouwen and Xie Pi?

Xie Shen then remembered that he hadn't gotten together with two good friends since he returned to Beijing, and the two of them should have rushed here because they couldn't wait.

Thinking of this, Xie Shen took a step towards the side hall.
