West Mountain, temporary line.

Zhu Si summoned Zhang Xuan and Xi Shu, and as soon as they met, they scolded the ministers of the DPRK and China.

"I'm just a micro-service patrol, come to Xishan to see the development here, is it for personal gain? Everything is for the long-term stability of the Ming Dynasty, but as a result, some people say irresponsible remarks, and they are about to compare me to a faint king! ”

Zhu Si scolded very vaguely, and didn't say that someone compared him to Zhu Houzhao.

But Xi Shu and Zhang Xuan still easily heard this meaning, and they were even thinking, who is so bold?

Could it be that there is already a piece of music coming up?

Or has someone made it public?

It can't be that no one else has said it yet, Your Majesty, you are here to feel sorry for yourself, right?

“…… Tell me, how should I deal with this? Zhu Si asked.

Xi Shu replied: "Your Majesty, before the minister arrived at Xishan, he had not seen anyone in the court playing on this matter, or forming a party to discuss privately, I don't know where to get the news?" ”

This question is clearly to remind the emperor that you have come here and disclosed your whereabouts, isn't it normal for others to talk about it?

The key is that you have to come up with evidence so that we can give you an idea.

Zhu Si was very unhappy when he heard this, but he knew that the most favorite thing for ministers to do was to argue with him, the emperor, Xi Shu was born as an orthodox civil servant, although he disagreed with the mainstream on the issue of the Great Rites Discussion, but it was obviously impossible for him to obey him in everything.

"Zhang Qingjia, what do you think?" Zhu Si asked Zhang Xuan.

Zhang Xuan said: "This matter should be strictly investigated to see who is talking behind the scenes, and whether anyone is secretly instigating." After ascertaining the situation, strict punishment will be imposed to set an example. ”

"Huh?"

Not to mention Xi Shu's accident, even Zhu Si was surprised.

You Zhang Xuan are ruthless enough, and you have to be strictly investigated as soon as you come up?

But he is well versed in figuring out the holy will.

Zhang Zuo on the side asked for the emperor: "Master Zhang, I don't know how to check?" ”

It's easy to say, if you want to check, who will check? If the ministers only talk about it, they will make an example of it...... I'm afraid that the ministers of the world are not enough to kill......

Isn't it necessary to wait for them to join hands to do things, such as kneeling at the gate of the palace, and then there will be action?

Even if he is messing around like Zhu Houzhao, didn't he wait for those Hanlin officials to jump out to make trouble, and then beat people, and then dismissed a group of people? What's more, there were no fatalities that time!

The Zuo Shunmen incident that happened before was fatal, and I don't know how the historian would describe this behavior.

Zhang Xuan said: "The East Factory and Jinyi Wei are strictly inspected. ”

Zhu Si asked coldly: "Then who will bear the responsibility for the investigation?" ”

Zhang Xuan almost said that let me be responsible, so that I can check myself by myself, and I can be invincible.

But he didn't dare say that.

He is not a member of the factory guard, nor does he have the prestige of Zhu Hao, who will obey him from the East Factory and Jinyiwei? And even if he brought it up, the emperor might not agree.

Zhang Xuan said: "Zhu Shilang should be strictly investigated when he returns to the court." ”

He figured it out.

At this time, Zhu Hao should be found to come back and let this competitor wade into troubled waters.

Things are within a controllable range, he Zhang Xuan can naturally share the emperor's worries, and now that things are getting bigger, let Zhu Hao come, don't you boast that you are very capable? In the previous Zuoshunmen incident, I didn't see you make much effort, and it was all the emperor who charged in front.

This time I will give you a chance to perform, I will deliberately make a big fuss, and let you come forward when I can't clean it up, so that Wenchen will feel that the emperor went to Xishan behind your back.

In this way, you will have to go from the dark to the light, and the contradictions between the monarch and the minister will be borne by you alone...... At that time, even if you can solve the problem satisfactorily, it will make you into a fuss.

See how you are still in the whirlpool of public opinion? Enter the cabinet with a face, and even be the first assistant!

Zhu Sidao: "Don't say it, I also have this intention, speaking of which, Zhu Qing's family hasn't done anything big for me for a long time." Quasi-play! ”

Zhang Xuan mentioned that letting Zhu Hao come back to do things was very much in line with Zhu Si's wishes, and he agreed to come down.

Xi Shu next to him didn't expect Zhang Xuan to make such a suggestion, and he was agreed by the emperor, so he couldn't help but shake his head secretly.

……

……

A secret edict urgently summoning Zhu Hao back to Beijing was sent from Xishan.

Zhu Si did not let Zhu Hao go to Xishan, but asked him to go back to the capital directly, and let Zhu Hao come forward to suppress the possible civil protest this time, which is equivalent to saying that the matter has not happened yet, and Zhu Si is already taking precautions.

When Zhu Hao received Zhu Simi's edict in Tianjin City, which was centered on the shipyard, two days had passed.

"Zhu Shilang, I think you should leave for the capital early."

Xu Jie didn't want to stay in Tianjin for a long time, and knew that Zhu Hao was going back to the capital, so he couldn't help but urge.

Zhu Hao thought to himself, he really shouldn't let Xu Jie see this secret edict.

In Zhu Hao's eyes, it is best for both officials and generals to have practical work experience at the grassroots level, otherwise they may make the mistake of talking on paper and delay national affairs. This Xu Jie has no pragmatism at all, he is unwilling to do things in a down-to-earth manner, he just wants to stay in the Hanlin Academy and enjoy Qingfu, Zhu Hao has high hopes for him, hoping that Xu Jie can inherit his mantle, but now it seems that he has miscalculated.

Of course, what Zhu Hao doesn't understand is that Xu Jie's ambition has never been to change the times, he just wants to be an official with peace of mind, only seeking fame and fortune and never wanting to do something for the Ming Dynasty.

Promotion, holding power firmly in your hands, and controlling the fate of others are the real pursuit of Confucian officials in this era.

Zhu Hao has the right not to fight for it, while Xu Jie squeezes his head and squeezes up, and the two have an essential difference.

Zhu Hao said: "Zisheng, do you want to go back to Beijing with me?" ”

Xu Jie's heart was a hundred happy, but he still pretended to be reserved: "I am Langzhong of the Ministry of Industry, and now I am needed here, so I will stay and help you take care of it." Wait until you're done......"

It probably means that you will come back and replace me when you are done.

When the time comes, you stay, and I can go back to Beijing.

Zhu Hao wants to complain, you don't want to think about what you can do when you go back to the capital even if I replace you?

Do you really think that Hallymin Temple is a place where you can come and go when you want?

Since you came out of the Hanlin Academy again, then do the errands of the six departments first, even if you don't want to mix in the shipyard, you can also mix the errands in your Ministry of Engineering for a few years, otherwise do you really think that you can jump to the official position of the squire in three years?

Don't use me as an example!

You Xu Zisheng has only been an official for a year.

"Let's go back together."

Zhu Hao said, "After returning to the capital, come with me to the yamen to take a walk and see the reactions everywhere." You know what we're going to do when we go back, right? ”

Xu Jie asked, "Why?" ”

I don't even know what to do, I want to go back to Beijing, Zhu Haoxin said, you Xu Zisheng is really big.

"When I go back this time, I may face the flood beast, you'd better be mentally prepared!"

"It's fine!"

Xu Jie is very calm, no matter what trouble he encounters, as long as he has Zhu Hao in front of him, where do you need him to worry about it? It doesn't have to be a good idea to sit back and enjoy it.

……

……

There are more than 300 miles from Tianjin to the capital, and it takes three days for Zhu Hao and his party to return to Beijing, which is also based on the non-stop running all the way.

At the same time, Xi Shu and Zhang Xuan had already taken the train back to the capital, and they accompanied them in Xishan for two days, and they did not get any advice to the emperor, which was equivalent to saying...... The court chose to ignore Zhu Si's trip this time.

The emperor is not in the court, and the minister does not need to go to the court before dawn, and he is still happy.

And the emperor's patrol is already a reality, even if he can't stop it, it is better to choose to acquiesce and let everyone be happy.

"In this way, even if Jingdao returns to the capital, I'm afraid it will be useless."

Xi Shu didn't understand Zhang Zhang's behavior of recommending Zhu Hao very well.

You, Zhang Bingkuan, obviously hate Zhu Hao so much that you actually asked him to investigate the so-called civil officials talking about the emperor's patrol...... As a result, the civil official didn't go as you envisioned, do you think Zhu Hao will be trapped?

Many people in the DPRK know about the festival between you and Zhu Hao.

You started with Zhu Hao, but now you want to pull the door and stand on your own, your behavior is ungrateful, do you think the emperor will not be able to see it?

Zhang Xuan said: "Your Majesty's side is indispensable for that Zhu Shilang to help Your Majesty achieve this, isn't it?" ”

Zhang Xuan looked like he was vibrating, as if he felt that the decision he had made was right.

"I hope so."

Xi Shu's words obviously have a voice-over sound.

It's best that you Zhang Xuan have nothing to do with this matter, if Zhu Hao comes back to find out about you, or he deliberately frames you, I'm afraid you will be in big trouble.

……

……

Xishan, Zhu Si waited anxiously for three days, but there was no minister who played to advise him.

It is equivalent to saying that this time he went out to patrol Xishan, which was temporarily recognized by the civil officials, which was a reasonable and legal act.

Zhu Si asked Zhang Zuo on the side: "Then should I leave for Xuanfu?" ”

This is to ask Zhang Zuo, do I want to learn from Zhu Houzhao, just mess around to the end, and test the reaction of those ministers.

Zhang Zuo hurriedly said: "Absolutely not, Your Majesty!" Now that no one in the DPRK and China has mentioned it, isn't it a good time for His Majesty to drive back to Beijing? You've been out for a few days......"

Zhang Zuo was worried.

Zhu Si had already stayed in Xishan for four days, that is, he had interrupted four early dynasties, which was the first time in the past few years that a king had not been in court for a long time.

Zhu Si has always faced the world with the posture of a wise monarch, and successive dropouts are usually regarded as a manifestation of the unreasonableness of the monarch.

Zhu Si asked coldly, "Where is Jingdao?" ”

"Uh...... No news yet. ”

Zhang Zuo said, "However, yesterday I received a message from Mr. Zhu when he was in Tianjin, saying that there has been a war to exterminate pirates and pirates on the southeast coast, and the first battle has been won. ”

"So fast? Didn't you say that the sea ship had just departed from the port of Tianjin? ”

Zhu Si didn't quite understand.

It seems that before he came to Xishan, Zhu Hao said that the ship went south from Tianjin.

Zhang Zuo reminded: "That is the record of the first few fleets that set off, it is said that the first fleet will go to the South Seas first, and then go all the way to the east, and may find a vast continent in the southeast, and then bring back gold, silver, treasures and various crops." ”

"It's a long way to go."

Zhu Sidao, "I remember that on the world map that Jingdao drew for me back then and the globe he made later, the Ming Dynasty was only a little bit of a place, and to cross the ocean to other continents, it would take a few Ming territories in the middle. I'm afraid I won't be able to come back in a few years, right? ”

Zhang Zuo smiled bitterly.

You and Mr. Zhu are clear, but who can understand?

"Naval battle! Ship! ”

Zhu Sidao, "Jing Dao doesn't know what he is thinking in his head, is he bent on how to conquer the entire earth?" Even if you conquer it, what if you conquer it? Aren't all overseas yet? Who will be sent to govern the heavens and the earths? ”

Zhang Zuo said: "It should be the same as the frontier land, just raze and raze." ”

"No way!"

Zhu Si shook his head and said, "Meaningless territory, what is the use of me coming?" However, Jingdao promised to bring back the local products over there, especially the things that could feed the people of the Ming Dynasty. Let's hope he does what he says! ”
