Opening an arsenal, this is the plan that Zhu Hao put forward to boost the Ming industry at the beginning of Zhu Si's ascension to the throne.

Wait until Yang Tinghe retires before officially starting to do it, this is also the implementation steps planned by Zhu Hao for Zhu Si, even if you want to do it now, you must keep a low profile, and try not to confront the old forces that are entrenched in the DPRK and China.

The Zhang brothers were sent out of the capital to prevent these two from interfering in the half-public and half-private arsenal project.

Zhu Hao talked to the preparatory staff of the arsenal, and then went to the side hall with Tang Yin to drink tea, and while resting, the master and apprentice discussed the court.

Tang Yin was not very supportive of the affairs of the arsenal: "You have to do this again, you are not tired, I am tired."

Tang Yin thought that he was going to be used as a mule again.

Zhu Hao smiled, "What are you anxious about? Won't you let Jingde help you? It's up to her to do it, you just have to be a flag-bearer in front. This time, it is not just for the public service, the weapons are used for military purposes, but when it comes to explosives, etc., they can play a huge role in civilian use, and the mining and railroad construction have already done a good job in the past."

When Yang Tinghe was in the DPRK, Zhu Hao was already pushing forward with the mining and construction of trains and railways, and almost all of these projects involved civilian use.

For Yang Tinghe and such a conservative minister, no matter how much the emperor did too much, as long as it did not affect the inherent political and military system of the Ming Dynasty, so in the past two years, Zhu Hao did not radically engage in something that transcended the era.

Just a mine auction and a mining tax system were forcibly blocked back by Yang Tinghe. If Zhu Hao wants to change the official system, add some new officials, or reorganize the army and engage in some new weapons training, then it is estimated that Yang Tinghe's attack on the new emperor will be sharper, but I am afraid that Zhu Si and Zhu Hao will not be able to deal with it.

Now that Yang Tinghe is finally gone, Jiang Mian's top priority now is to ensure a smooth transition of power, so Jiang Mian will keep a low profile recently, as long as the emperor is not very out of line, Jiang Mian will generally not stand up against it, which will help the implementation of some projects.

"Just don't regret it then." Tang Yin saw Lou Suzhen enter the house, got up to greet him, and said in a warning tone.

Anyway, he himself knows it, and to put it bluntly, he really doesn't think Zhu Hao will listen to it.

"Both, the entrusted business has been done, but I don't know what to do next, please advise." Lou Suzhen came to ask Zhu Hao and Tang Yin.

It was also when Zhu Hao officially appointed her to manage the arsenal for Tang Yin.

Zhu Hao smiled: "I have already told Mr. Tang what should be said, why don't you tell Mr. Tang about it?"

After speaking, he stood up and wanted to create a chance for Tang Yin and Lou Suzhen to be alone.

Tang Yin looked very humble: "It's better for you to come."

I don't know what to do in a daze, where can I clearly tell Princess Ning her duties? Since you kid made it up, then you are responsible, don't try to pull me into the water!

In this regard, Zhu Hao could only shake his head, Tang Bohu, why are you so cowardly?

……

……

Regarding the preparation of the arsenal, Zhu Hao personally reported to Zhu Si, and still adopted the method of entering the palace to face the saint.

Yang Tinghe retreated, Zhu Si acted unscrupulously, since it was inconvenient for him to leave the palace, let Zhu Hao enter the palace to discuss things with him.

「…… Respectfully, don't talk about anything else, show me, and help me teach this showy official a good lesson, I want to kill the majesty of these so-called clear streams!"

Zhu Si's face was full of shame, and he stuffed a piece of music into Zhu Hao's hand.

Zhu Hao picked it up and took a look, and when he saw the name of the musician first, he couldn't help but smile.

The right of the military department gave Xia Yan in the matter.

The content of Xia Yan's performance is to oppose Zhu Si's recent series of employment measures.

may be because of Yang Ting and Zhishi, Zhu Si recently wants to cultivate his cronies, especially his "own people" who were born in the Xingwang Mansion...... The little emperor was nepotistic, from the beginning of his accession to the throne, the people in the court felt that now Zhu Si had the biggest political opponent, so he wanted to remove the positions involving real power in Dongchang and Jinyiwei and replace them with his own people.

Strangely,

In the personnel arrangement, there are not only the guards of the palace honor guard, but also the fathers and brothers of the maids and mothers-in-law in the palace, and even the tenants who cultivate the fields in the palace must be arranged into the brocade guard.

To put it bluntly, Zhu Si lacks a sense of security.

As the emperor, Zhu Si probably felt that only if all the people inside and outside the palace were replaced by his own people, no one would stick a knife next to his pillow.

Just as Zhu Hao was looking at the content of the recital, Zhu Si was still counting there.

「…… Is there a problem with employing people? How to dispatch Dongchang and Jinyiwei, that is my family matter, who I want to use and who I don't want to use, it's all a matter of my words, what does it matter to him as an official? Even the elder and the scholar haven't said anything, as if he is a loyal minister in the court."

After reading it, Zhu Hao closed his tune and said, "How is Your Majesty going to deal with it?"

"You can do it."

Zhu Si completely believed in Zhu Hao, "It's best to send him out of Beijing and to a place with a bad corner, and I don't want to hear this person's name again from now on."

Zhu Hao pondered.

Xia Yan in the early years of Jiajing was inconspicuous and low-key, why did he oppose the emperor's actions so radically this time?

With Xia Yan's old age, he must know that now the emperor is in a hurry to suppress his political enemies, and he is complacent and ready to do a big job, you are so anxious to show your loyalty, is it to let the emperor appreciate your courage to speak out? Or do you want your fellow ministers to look up to you?

Facing a future political opponent, Zhu Hao did not easily kill the killer, and Zhu Hao understood that many things are not as simple as they seem on the surface.

"Your Majesty, if you directly condemn him, I am afraid that not only will he not be punished, but will make outsiders feel sorry for him, and even feel that what he did is right, which is not good for Your Majesty's reputation." Zhu Hao said.

Zhu Si twitched his nose, frowned and thought for a moment, and asked, "That means, I don't do anything, let him point at my nose and scold?"

Zhu Hao shook his head: "The minister didn't mean this, but Your Majesty might as well imagine what is the practical significance of this person's advice?" It doesn't change anything at all, but it is for the sake of a good name, and if Your Majesty does not punish him, but rewards him, it will be His Majesty who wins the hearts and minds of the people."

"Damn! Jingdao, you're not going to let me really reward him, are you? By doing this, I know that I can buy people's hearts, but I am the emperor, so I need to be so low? When others scold, instead of being angry, I want to say, "Are you scolding well?" Won't this fuel his arrogance and make him even worse in the future, and he will go against me if he has nothing to do?"

Zhu Si showed strong resistance, now that he was in high spirits, Xia Yan's actions were simply pouring cold water on his head.

Zhu Hao said: "Those who dare to speak, sometimes Your Majesty can also make appropriate use of it, and in today's matter, Your Majesty can first criticize and reprimand him, let him be alert, and then find another opportunity to assign him something else to do...... The task of the official is to support the community, and Your Majesty cannot lose the big because of the small."

Xia Yan is a political opponent that Zhu Hao must face in the future.

In front of Zhu Si, any power and status may not last long, and Zhu Hao must make some plans, that is, how to ensure his status in the Ming Dynasty when there is a deviation in the opinions of the monarch and ministers.

Do you want to usurp the throne?

The risk of usurping the throne is too great, with Zhu Hao's current strength and connections, there may not be the slightest possibility, so he must cultivate political enemies for himself.

Let the distribution of power in the court seem more balanced, and not engage in a monopoly of one family, this is exactly what Zhu Hao explained to Sun Jiao before.

Zhu Si was a little unwilling: "Then send an edict and reprimand it, I can't punish him severely, and I still feel a little unhappy!" When you go back and arrange an errand for this person, you must give him some color...... I'll leave it all up to you!"

Zhu Hao said, "The minister receives the order."

……

……

Zhu Hao pulled down Xu Jie and asked Xu Jie to stand on his side, but Xia Yan couldn't rely on it.

Xia Yan is not a new science and technology scholar, this person is very capable, and he is known for his integrity and outspokenness, he has made certain achievements in the court, and he has a literati arrogance in him, and he can't easily make him succumb.

What Zhu Hao wants to do is to put Xia Yan in prison

Firmly tied to the big tree of the court.

Sending Xia Yan away may make him restrain his habits and turn back to cater to the emperor...... This has been proven in history, Xia Yan seems to be loyal and upright on the surface, but in terms of scheming and means, it is really not comparable to ordinary people, otherwise he will not be able to be the first assistant of the government and the opposition in the future.

Zhu Hao wanted to first show Xia Yan's "loyal" side as much as possible, so that he could not turn in the direction of catering to the emperor.

Cultivate you as a positive role model first.

With the attitude of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the positive and typical result is the same as Yang Tinghe, who has become a thorn in the emperor's side.

The emperor wants a civil servant who has a clear relationship with the orthodox civil officials, and whoever does not follow the concept of the traditional civil servant can be appreciated, promoted and reused, and several first auxiliary scholars used by Zhu Houxi in history basically followed this path.

It is necessary to use it and prevent it, Zhu Hao knows that this degree is not easy to grasp.

After Zhu Hao finished talking to Zhu Si about the arsenal, he went out of the palace.

Zhang Zuo accompanied.

Zhang Zuo saw the emperor's anger before, and had the heart to remind Zhu Hao: "...... Mr. Zhu, in our family's opinion, those who do not know each other, His Majesty can punish them directly, and do not let such an atmosphere spread in the court. Your Majesty is now very concerned about employing people, and if those officials repeatedly oppose it, I am afraid that Your Majesty will not be able to bear it, and the next step will be ...... You get the idea."

In fact, Zhang Zuo had no malicious intent.

On the contrary, Zhang Zuo also had the idea of protecting those civil officials.

The Emperor is now starting to get nervous.

The official was disobedient, so he wanted to beat it, and now Zhu Hao was against the beating, and when he came to Zhang Zuo, he thought that Zhu Hao was biased from the position of the civil official, but he didn't know that Zhu Hao didn't mean to be with the traditional civil official at all.

Zhang Zuo wanted to say that if Xia Yan and the others were not transferred out now, he was afraid that the emperor would directly pick up the knife of Jinyiwei and rush up to cut people.

For Zhu Hao, it's good to cut people, lest I make a move and let the emperor stand on the opposite side of civil officials, then my value will be reflected.

But Zhu Hao couldn't say this clearly.

Zhu Hao said: "I understand, but even if you want to do it, you have to wait until another important thing is over."

Zhang Zuo frowned, as if he had thought of something, and said with a smile: "It must be a big gift, or Mr. Zhu is far-sighted, and our family is ashamed of itself."
