"The matter of establishing the reserve is related to the national system, and the matter is big, so let me think about it!" In desperation, Zhu Yujian could only play the word "drag".

After the new emperor ascended the throne, the first seemingly vigorous and lively court meeting ended in this indescribable situation. The seemingly safe thing stopped, which made the officials of Zheng Zhilong's family a little frustrated.

As soon as the court meeting dispersed, Zhu Ping'an and the others had already retreated on their own, but Zheng Zhilong and the others stayed listlessly behind, walking towards the palace gate with heavy steps.

However, before he arrived at the palace gate, Zou Jing had already hurried over, "The two marquis go slowly, the emperor is invited!" ”

After the Qianqing Gate, it is the scope of the last six palaces, and there are traces of repair everywhere in the inner palace, and there are many pavilions and pavilions under repair, but nearly half of the projects have been stopped, which is also according to Zhu Yujian's meaning. Although Zhu Yujian is not burdened with the huge military burden of the Chongzhen Dynasty, the Zheng family's army, the largest military force under his command, is still paid for by Zheng Zhilong himself.

But at present, the financial situation of the Longwu court is not optimistic, in fact, Zhu Yujian is not even as good as the original Chongzhen Emperor, at least the Chongzhen Emperor still has a lot of internal money, of course, in the end, it is cheaper than the Manchu Qing and Li Zicheng. Zhu Yujian is a pure self-made man, not to mention the internal expenses, even the daily expenses of the palace are provided by Shandong and Fujian.

In the previous Yixing Rebellion, the Qianqing Palace, as the palace of the emperor to deal with government affairs on a daily basis, was also looted by the rebels, and even the two gilded stone lions on the left and right in front of the Qianqing Gate were scraped off a layer by the rebels with weapons. The entire Qianqing Palace is now simple and unpretentious, and the furnishings are extremely simple. It was already the weather of March, but there was a cold atmosphere in the entire hall. Zhu Yujian and his wife, who were sitting upright, turned out to be wearing thick coats.

There are also several people in the palace, namely Shoufu Huang Daozhou, cabinet ministers Su Guansheng, Huang Mingjun, and Fang Yuegong, who is a guest of the crown prince.

After the two Zheng Hongkui brothers visited the shrine, they were ordered by Zhu Yujian to give them a seat. Everyone looked at each other and sighed.

"Is there any better way to do it now?" Zhu Yujian's face was gloomy, and his voice was a little hoarse.

Huang Daozhou, Su Guansheng, and Huang Mingjun knew that Zhu Yujian would ask this question, but they couldn't think of any good way in their hearts. The assertion that the prince has been insisting on before is still in his ears, and even the folk rumors know that the court and the Son of Heaven intend to set up Zhu Linyuan as the prince, but in the end, he lifted a stone to hit his own feet, and a big killing weapon has become a bitter fruit that is difficult to swallow. As a minister, this only remaining face still needs to be taken into account, is it really necessary to learn from the scoundrels in the street market, and let go of what he said as a stinky fart?

The silence of the three people on the zodiac made the anger in Zhu Yujian's heart even stronger, and he turned his head to the Zheng Zhilong brothers, "Pingyu Hou, Dingyu Hou, you two talk about it!" ”

Zheng Hongkui's heart tightened, the current situation was unexpected, but it was an unsolvable situation, he hesitated slightly, but Zheng Zhilong next to him opened his mouth: "According to the minister, even if there is the holy purpose of Emperor Xiaolie, His Majesty does not need to take care of it so much, the whole world is the king's land, and the four seas are all kings." Zhu Ping'an is not only the son of His Majesty, but also the courtier of His Majesty, can he disobey the will of his father? His Majesty wants to set up the second prince, although he does it, he doesn't have to care about what others say, my Zheng family is only the head of the horse, and more than 100,000 troops are guarding Nanzhili, who else can resist His Majesty's will? ”

Listening to Zheng Zhilong's "bold words", Zhu Yujian could only smile bitterly. Zheng Zhilong has no fear, because he has soldiers in his hands, but his understanding of the affairs of the DPRK and China is still too shallow, and Zheng Hongkui obviously has no choice, so he is silent. If according to what Zheng Zhilong said, I am afraid that this half of the country will still fall into chaos.

Zhu Yujian's bloodline is far from the orthodoxy of the royal family, and this time it is indeed a fluke, if he insists on going his own way and loses the name of righteousness, it will not be far from the experience of Emperor Yixing.

The expression on Fang Yuegong's face, who was standing on the side, changed, and he opened his mouth several times to speak, but he swallowed it back stiffly. Zeng, who was sitting next to Zhu Yujian, saw his appearance, and quietly touched Zhu Yujian's elbow with his arm, and Zhu Yujian looked at her gaze, which made sense.

"Qianshan, it's not a court discussion at the moment, if you have anything to say, you can say it!"

Fang Yuegong gave a deep salute, was silent for a moment, carefully summarized the thoughts in his heart, and then spoke: "The minister thinks that the Empress Dowager Yi'an's sudden arrival in Beijing this time must have been arranged by Shandong General Zhu during the period. On that day, when Zhu Zongbing was the king, he welcomed the Empress Dowager Yi'an to Shandong to be raised, and over the years, I heard that the Empress Dowager Yi'an and Zhu Zongbing's family were very harmonious. Although I don't know where this holy decree came from, the position of the Empress Dowager Yi'an can be seen at this time. ”

His Majesty is now hesitant about the prince, and the ministers are therefore reluctant to give in to each other. Speaking of this, Fang Yuegong raised his head, looked at Zhu Yujian and his wife with inquiring eyes, and then lowered his head again, and plucked up the courage to say: "Since this is the case, it is better to appoint Zhu Zongbing as the prince!"...... ”

"What!" Everyone present was shocked, and they all looked at Fang Yuegong with incredible eyes, Zou Jing almost pounced on him, and looked at it with his palm to see if Fang Yuegong's head was confused with a fever.

"Nonsense!" Zheng Zhilong, who has the most violent temperament, has not yet had a seizure, but the Queen Zeng has already erupted, "Fang Qianshan, when you were the most depressed, Your Majesty did not investigate the past, and used all your strength to use it, but why did you say such a thing today?" ”

Zhu Yujian snorted coldly, stopped his wife's seizure with his eyes, and then looked at Fang Yuegong. "Qianshan, you might as well say it bluntly, I know that you must have your own intentions!"

Fang Yuegong continued with a worried face: "Now because of a holy decree from Empress Yi'an, the name of General Zhu has been decided, whether he changes his name or not, the identity of the eldest son has been established. It can be said that in this way, many courtiers who are on the sidelines will also begin to lean towards his side. The people on whom Zhu Zongbing relied were nothing more than more than 100,000 soldiers from Shandong, Henan, North Korea, and Huaiyang, as well as the huge profits of maritime trade. ”

"Please Your Majesty and Niang Niang forgive the ministers bluntly, after establishing Zhu Zongbing as the crown prince, Zhu Zongbing will always be stationed in Beijing no matter what. The powers and duties of the East Palace, the ancestral system has always been clear, and General Zhu is stationed in Beijing, so his control over Shandong, Henan and other places will naturally be weakened to a certain extent. The court can take this opportunity to secretly demote Shandong's civil and military affairs, or promote them to positions in the court, or reassign them to other places, so that the military and political power in various places will slowly infiltrate and take over by the imperial court, and at that time, the power of Zhu Zongbing will gradually shrink. 陛xià is in the prime of life, after the years, how to choose between the majesty xià is not all in the grasp? ”

After Fang Yuegong's words were finished, there was silence in the main hall. It is undeniable that his words are very reasonable, but Queen Zeng cannot accept them in any way. First set up and then abandoned, I don't know how many variables will happen in this long process, she finally waited for the day when she came to the end of the day, to let her swallow her anger again, and be a man with her tail between her legs, no matter what, she couldn't accept it.

Therefore, for Fang Yuegong's suggestion, Zeng was the first to vote against.

When Fang Yuegong spoke, Zheng Hongkui listened very seriously. For Fang Yuegong, Zheng Hongkui is no stranger. Over the years, Zheng Hongkui has been running for the rise of the Zheng family in the north and south of the river, although there have been changes in Zheng Cai and Zheng Lian's brothers during the period, but as a member of the Zheng family, the responsibility has always inspired and supervised Zheng Hongkui not to be careless.

Therefore, Zheng Hongkui pays special attention to all kinds of talents above the court and even among the people. Fang Yuegong, as the governor of Shandong during the Chongzhen Dynasty, was naturally under Zheng Hongkui's observation. After the Yixing Rebellion, Zhu Yujian and Zhu Ping'an's father and son were doing their best to track down Fang Yuegong's whereabouts, which shows Fang Yuegong's talent. After becoming a minister in the same hall, Zheng Hongkui also took advantage of large and small opportunities to gradually approach Fang Yuegong, hoping to have a good relationship with this close minister of the Son of Heaven, and love will be of great use one day.

What Fang Yuegong said today made Zheng Hongkui deeply agree. Although this strategy took a long time, it was a great benefit for the imperial court, and once it could take over the resources in Zhu Ping'an's hands, Zhu Yujian's Longwu court would immediately grow a hundred times.

Zheng Hongkui wanted to open his mouth to agree, but Zheng Zhilong in front of him quietly turned his head and said in a faint voice: "Although this plan is good, it must not be used. The imperial court is bigger, where will my Zheng family be placed. His Majesty can use this tactic to deal with Zhu Ping'an, and it will also be applied to my Zheng family! ”

Zheng Hongkui was shocked and looked at Zheng Zhilong's generous back incredibly. He realized that until this moment in the world, he could see his brother completely. On the surface, although he looks like a martial artist, it seems that all the things before, including the "rage" in front of Zhu Yujian just now. In fact, it was just a mask he used to hide his true face.

Zheng Hongkui suddenly felt that he and Zheng Cai and Zheng Lian lost in the hands of Zheng Zhilong, but he was not wronged at all. Zheng Zhilong's scheming, city government and vision are indeed outstanding.

Zheng Hongkui's thoughts suddenly became confused, and at this moment, Zheng Zhilong preemptively said: "Mr. Qianshan's meaning is understood, but the minister also wants to remind His Majesty that the matter of establishing a prince is not trivial, and it will make the court turbulent if he establishes first and then abolishes." The position of the crown prince is the foundation of the country, once established, the attitude of the ministers and the attitude of the people of the world will change from this, and your majesty Don't forget, the governors everywhere are still silent, and their hearts are also making comparisons. The minister is only afraid, it is easy to establish a prince, and one day, if you want to abolish it, it will not be such a simple thing! Please also think twice! ”R1152
