Qianqing Palace.

The music on the emperor's table was piled up into a hill, and Zhu Si hid behind the song, with a lot of pieces in front of him, one by one to pick them up and play with them, and they had a lot of fun.

Zhang Zuo hurriedly appeared next to him and stood for a long time, but Zhu Si didn't notice it.

In the end, Zhang Zuo reluctantly took the initiative to break the silence: "Your Majesty, there is a report from the southeast." ”

Zhu Si's face was a little displeased, as if it was because Zhang Zuo ruined his interest, and frowned and asked, "Is there something wrong in the southeast?" Franc robot? Wolver? Or the Nanyangs? Or pirates? ”

Zhang Zuo said: "The Jinghai soldiers and horses sent by Mr. Zhu are some pirates in Pingsu, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang, but there are a number of ships...... It's gone! This is a detailed recital. ”

Then Zhang Zuo handed a battle report to Zhu Si.

Zhu Si didn't want to see it at all, so he threw it into the pile of songs.

"Didn't you say all the respects? He's going to send out a team of men to find new crops, and help me find gold and silver mines, and if I tell those soldiers in advance that this trip may not return, who will go on the expedition? I guess people are almost in the New World now, right? ”

Zhu Si is aware of this, because he has been instilled by Zhu Hao since he was a child, and he has a general impression of the outline of the world.

This is the importance of cultivating since childhood, if you wait for Zhu Si to tell him this knowledge when he is an adult, Zhu Si has already become an emperor, and with his stubbornness, he can't listen to these contents at all.

But now Zhu Si feels that Zhu Hao is just fulfilling a dream from their childhood, and everything is taken for granted.

"Your Majesty, the family scrolls of these soldiers...... I'm afraid it's going to be ...... There are opinions. Zhang Zuo was very worried, "Now the guards who recruit soldiers from all over the country have complaints about this, if they don't calm down......"

Zhu Si angrily reprimanded: "It is the duty of a soldier to obey orders, when soldiers eat imperial food, I sent them to the sea to open up territory for the Ming Dynasty, do they dare to complain?" ”

Zhang Zuo didn't reply, probably meaning that the impact of this incident was very bad.

Sending a fleet to quell the pirates and pirates, the battle was won, but part of the fleet and soldiers disappeared, which was more frustrating than losing the battle.

The point is that civil officials will not let go of the opportunity to make a big fuss, if it is investigated, others do not know that the expedition overseas is Zhu Hao's idea, then the emperor can only take responsibility.

This will greatly affect the legitimacy of Zhu Si as the emperor.

Zhu Si frowned when he heard this, took the copy back from the hill, opened it and read it carefully, the more he looked at it, the more angry he became, and finally threw it aside, "It's so bold, they actually dare to say this matter to God's curse, don't you know that this is a lie to confuse the public?" I really should kill more people, and shut up those who are so bad at me! ”

Maybe it's because Zhu Si knows that the throne belongs to the sky, and many people covet the position under his ass.

When the rule is in crisis, it ponders the use of force to subdue it.

Zhang Zuo really couldn't persuade the quick-tempered emperor, so he could only bow his head helplessly.

Zhu Si waved his hand and said, "Give this thing to Jingdao and let him come up with an idea!" I don't want to listen to the nonsense of those ministers, and I won't go to court tomorrow! ”

"Your Majesty, what is the reason?" Zhang Zuo asked.

"There's no reason, it's just that I don't want to go, do they still have an opinion? I've been very tired lately, I want to give myself a vacation, relax for a few days, and occasionally have holidays when I rejuvenate the palace, do you have to do things every day when you are the emperor? Doesn't it tire people to death? ”

After saying that, Zhu Si was too lazy to guard a bunch of music in the Qianqing Palace, so he simply changed places to play to his heart's content.

Even Zhang Zuo felt that the little emperor in front of him was becoming more and more wanton.

……

……

Zhang Zuo took Song Shu to find Zhu Hao.

Zhu Hao saw Zhang Zuo with a helpless face in the workshop, although Zhang Zuo did not explain to Zhu Hao the current state of the emperor, but Zhu Hao also knew that Zhu Si was slacking off day by day after losing the threat of political enemies such as Yang Tinghe and Jiang Mian.

When Yang Tinghe was there, Zhu Si was not afraid of losing his throne all the time.

When Jiang Mian was the first assistant, Zhu Si was less afraid, but he was thinking about how to fight for the Great Rites.

Until now......

Zhu Si sat on the throne of the emperor safely, and he helped him solve the trouble early, this kid had no opponent, and he suddenly relaxed, and he entered a state of lazy government and even not going to court, pondering happiness and immortality all day long, so that he, a traverser, no longer has a positive effect on history, but a counter-effect.

But now the emperor Zhu Si is still needed to stabilize the overall situation.

"Southeast coastal defense, at present, there have been no major changes, those ocean-going ships have steam turbines, the speed is guaranteed, it is estimated that they will return to the coast of Daming within two months, and the harvest will be very rich." Zhu Hao said.

Zhang Zuo had a bitter face: "But what Your Majesty is worried about is the family scrolls of those soldiers and the criticism of the ministers of the DPRK and the central government." ”

Zhu Hao smiled: "If there is anything, just push it on me, just say that this is what I advocate, and I am willing to bear the consequences!" ”

"This ......"

Zhang Zuo looked very embarrassed, he could hear it, Zhu Hao deliberately took the responsibility on himself.

It just so happened that Zhu Hao didn't want to work for the emperor, and he had always remembered the manufacturing industry in Xishan, Yongping Mansion and Tianjin, if he was responsible for this, and the emperor sent Zhu Hao out, wouldn't it be as Zhu Hao wanted?

Zhu Hao asked, "Will Your Majesty go to court tomorrow?" ”

"No, it won't."

Zhang Zuoxin said, you still know your good friend.

Zhu Hao nodded: "Then I will go to court tomorrow, whoever has any anger, even if it is sent to me, Your Majesty actually has no need to drop out of the court." ”

"Mr. Zhu, this is ...... It's a big thing to break the sky, and you really don't fit to come forward. ”

This strengthened Zhu Hao's idea of taking responsibility, and he said with a smile: "As a Hanlin scholar, it is also a novel experience to go to the court to accept the criticism of others. Otherwise, how can it be reflected in sharing the worries of His Majesty? ”

"Then our family...... Let's go back to the ceremony! ”

Although Zhang Zuo felt that Zhu Hao's initiative to take responsibility would cause some trouble, he still hurried back to the palace to inform Zhu Si.

In this way, maybe Zhu Si can change his mind and participate in the court meeting in Japan?

……

……

After Zhu Hao was promoted to the Hanlin Bachelor, he participated in the Ming Dynasty for the first time.

Zhu Hao came very early that day, and as soon as he arrived at the civil official straight room in Duanmen, he became the one who was missed, no one came to greet him, and he didn't even say him directly, but there was some murderous aura in his eyes when he looked at him.

With the sound of the three-way drum, the civil officials entered through the left gate, and the military attache entered through the right gate, and first arranged the order according to the grade in the south of the Jinshui Bridge. After the whip, the hundred officials crossed the bridge in turn, arrived at the Fengtianmen Danqi, the civil official is the left class, the military attache is the right class, and the two policies are facing each other in the imperial road, and Zhu Hao is in the position of the eleventh person in the left class, second only to the six Shangshu.

On the left and right of the stairs is the band of the bell and drum division, the palace gate? The "Han Generals" are lined up, wearing full armor, and there are captains standing with swords on the left and right sides of the royal road and behind the civil and military officials.

At this time, Zhang Zuo hurriedly walked out from behind the imperial gate, and when he arrived in front of the throne in the middle of the upper corridor, he said loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, Your Majesty occasionally feels a cold wind today......

Hearing this, many people felt that the emperor should have found an excuse not to go to court that day.

But then Zhang Zuo's words changed: "I have asked the imperial doctor to go to the consultation, saying that His Majesty has been unaccustomed to water and soil recently, and his condition is showing signs of aggravation, but His Majesty said that he will come after he has taken the medicinal diet." If you have anything to do, you can find out for yourself. ”

The emperor is sick, and he still wants to bring his illness to the court?

Why does this sound so unreliable?

The more I listened, the more I felt that the emperor was making fun of his ministers, but I also felt that since the emperor was pretending to be sick, why did he still play such a tortuous game? Just because Zhu Hao went to court that day?

said that the ministers could discuss it on their own, but the emperor did not come, and on this occasion, no one wanted to jump out and be the first bird.

Zhu Hao walked out of the civil official queue unhurriedly: "Colleagues, I have heard that in the southeast naval battle, dozens of ships of my Ming warship were missing, and they have not been found for more than ten days, I don't know what you think?" ”

"Wow!"

Many people looked at Zhu Hao differently.

You kid really have courage, at this time, even if someone wants to come out to speak on behalf of the emperor, it shouldn't be you a fledgling kid with no prestige at all.

What is your identity that you dare to make a big deal out of here?

Xi Shu hurriedly reminded: "Respect, don't be rude." ”

Zhu Hao smiled and said: "Everyone, I won't tell you that this battle is led by the lower, and the dispatch of troops and other matters are also planned and implemented below. ”

"Presumptuous!"

Many officials can't see it, although you Zhu Hao is a bachelor of Hanlin, this is not a place for you to splash.

What good will it do you if you come out and declare that you are responsible for this matter?

You are not a secretary or squire of the military department, nor do you have a position in the governor's office, why should you skip the imperial court and decide how to fight the Southeast Naval War?

Fei Hong saw that the crowd was angry, and hurriedly walked out and said, "Jingdao, do you know that this matter can be big or small?" ”

This move can be regarded as standing up and stabilizing people's hearts.

Fei Hong didn't want to blow his beard and stare at Zhu Hao.

Because Fei Hong didn't need to have a bad relationship with Zhu Hao, what he wanted was to let Zhu Hao be a good lubricant between monarchs and ministers, he didn't want to see Zhu Hao have a bad relationship with the ministers.

Zhu Hao said: "If the fleet can't find it for a long time, the matter will be big, and if it comes back, the matter will be small." Fei Ge Lao, that's what you mean, right? ”

Fei Hong shook his head and did not answer.

Liu Chun came out to help: "There should be a whereabouts, right?" Or is there another arrangement? ”

In Liu Chun's mind, it is impossible for Zhu Hao to do something that he is not sure of.

If this incident was planned by Zhu Hao, how could there be a situation where the fleet went missing? Even if the ship sinks, there should be a message, not just disappear out of thin air.

Zhu Hao said: "Ladies and gentlemen, the matter of Jinghai was done by the first emperor, the sea is unstable, and the loss of marine resources in the Ming Dynasty will damage the interests of the people of the Ming Dynasty." I dare to ask you, you don't want to see this happen, do you? ”

Jia Yong walked and said: "Master Zhu, do you know that you are overstepping your authority by doing this?" ”

If I don't argue with you about whether this is right or wrong, I just say that you have permission from someone to do this?

It's useless for the emperor to approve, you have the emperor's edict? Is there an official document for execution? If it's just a verbal edict from the emperor, it won't help you define your overstepping your authority at all.

On the contrary, if this matter is really asked by the emperor to do it, then the emperor himself is also ultra vires, without the permission of the court, let one person transfer troops without authorization, this is the Ming court as a decoration!

Doesn't this precedent mean that ministers will be dispensable in the future?

Aren't you afraid that we will strike?

Zhu Hao said: "This is not overstepping the authority, the matter of shipbuilding, in the past few years, it has been reported by the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households, after the ship is built, the coastal guard is used to pacify the sea frontier, but it is to implement His Majesty's will, do you still need to ask for instructions one by one?" ”

When Zhang Zuo heard this, he hurriedly said: "Don't be impatient, everyone, this matter is ...... Let's wait until His Majesty comes. ”
