Chapter Ninety-Six: The Chaos in the Court
Since Chang Yanling and other noble sons were enshrined as officials of the Jinyi Guard, the Emperor of the Apocalypse profoundly said that he had learned.
In order to win over the remaining nobles, he also made Guo Peimin and other nobles officials of Yulinwei.
You must know that Yu Linwei is one of the twenty-six pro-army, is a royal pro-army, and is responsible for the security of the palace. Joining Yu Linwei represents the emperor's favor.
For this reason, Guo Yingqi, Marquis of Wuding, and other nobles entered the palace to thank him, which greatly strengthened the authority of the Emperor of the Apocalypse.
With the support of the nobles, the Emperor of the Apocalypse said that his waist was stiff, confident, and he felt that he could do it again.
But Ye Xiang said to the senior minister, Your Majesty, you are still a child, you really can't do it.
And the Emperor of the Apocalypse has just come of age, and it is the time of rebellion, how can he bear these ministers to treat themselves as children.
So the two groups of people began to quarrel again, and they couldn't take care of the government and politics, and you blocked me all day long, and I recited the scriptures to you, everyone had their own thoughts, and the court was in turmoil.
Listening to Cao Huachun beside him recounting what happened in the court recently, Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but hold his forehead and sigh.
The court of the Ming Dynasty is even more chaotic than the vegetable market, if this can govern a country well, it will be a hell of a thing.
The carriage came to a slow halt, and unlike the heat of the day, the evening was still a little cold.
Looking at the lights of the palace connected together, forming a light between the black curtain of heaven and earth, Zhu Youzhen couldn't tell when and where he was in a trance.
When Cao Huachun, who was wearing a red regular robe, put on a cloak, Zhu Youzhen came back to his senses.
As soon as he entered the palace gate of the Mao Palace, Zhu Youzhen and Wei Zhongxian looked at each other.
"Father-in-law Wei is on duty today?"
Wei Zhongxian said with a flattering smile on his face: "The old slave has nothing to do recently, and he is waiting in front of the emperor." ”
Zhu Youzhen knew that he was afraid of losing his grace, and he was trying his best to fill the gap with the Emperor of the Apocalypse.
Seeing through it or not saying it, Zhu Youzhen rolled his eyes, "Gonggong Wei serves loyally, and I believe that the imperial brother will be moved." But I'm afraid that someone will say bad things about my father-in-law behind my back. ”
After speaking, he rubbed his fingers and squeezed his eyes at Wei Zhongxian.
Wei Zhongxian took out a ticket of three hundred taels from his arms with a painful face and stuffed it into Zhu Youzhen's hand.
"The emperor is already waiting for His Highness inside, and he asked His Highness to say a lot of good things for his servants."
Zhu Youzhen put his arms around Wei Zhongxian's neck and said with a smile: "This is easy to say, even if there is no ticket, according to the relationship between the two of us, can I still harm you?" ”
Wei Zhongxian's face twitched, if it weren't for the fear that you would harm me, why would I pay for it cleanly.
I'm afraid this relationship is the relationship between enemies.
Coercion and temptation in the front, hooking shoulders and backs in the back, this letter king Zhu Youzhen, why is he so stingy.
But seeing that Zhu Youzhen accepted the ticket, Wei Zhongxian was still slightly relieved, and said with a smile: "Then thank you to His Royal Highness King Xin." ”
"Well said, well said."
Zhu Youzhen patted his chest, very righteous and assured.
Then when he entered the Xuanmao Palace, the Emperor of the Apocalypse glanced at it and said, "If you don't come in for a long time, I'm afraid you will get benefits from Wei Banban again." ”
"Gonggong Wei is powerful, and there is an endless stream of people who give him silver, and he can't spend all the flowers, so the younger brother is helping him share it."
The Emperor of the Apocalypse sneered, "You are a harmful spirit, and you don't even have a valid reason. ”
After speaking, he took out a drawing.
Zhu Youzhen unfolded it and saw that it was the drawings of the school and brewery he wanted to build.
But there are some complexities and obscurities, and it is not where people who indulge in this way can understand it.
The Emperor of the Apocalypse understood in his heart, pointed to the fine design on it, and explained them one by one.
Zhu Youzhen listened carefully, and couldn't help but sigh that his cheap brother deserved to be a famous carpenter emperor, and all kinds of designs were very ingenious.
The Emperor of the Apocalypse told how hard he had studied to change the traditional house arches, so that the school could be fully lit, and the pride was difficult to hide.
Although Zhu Youzhen was stunned when he heard this, there are still many places where he will use cheap brothers in the future, and he immediately kept rainbow farts.
After the Emperor of the Apocalypse was satisfied, Ke'er brought the food.
The Emperor of the Apocalypse had been waiting for a long time, and hurriedly picked up chopsticks to taste.
When he came to eat cheaply, Zhu Youzhen was used to it.
took out a bottle of Sprite and poured it for the elder brother, Zhu Youzhen said with some concern: "Brother Huang, in recent years, natural disasters and military disasters have continued, the southwest has been using troops for several years, and the situation in Liaodong is also very urgent, but the court is constantly strife, and in the long run, I am afraid that something will happen." ”
The chopsticks in the hands of the Emperor of the Apocalypse paused, glanced at Zhu Youzhen, and said, "How can I not understand such an obvious disaster?" The emperor was in power for more than a month, showing kindness and reassuring people's hearts, but he died suddenly. I ascended the throne at a young age, and the ministers of the DPRK and China were in great difficulty, and I looked down on me. ”
Speaking of this, the Emperor of the Apocalypse was obviously a little anxious, and said in a deep voice: "In today's situation, if you want to unify the court, unless you hand over government affairs to the cabinet, let the Ming Dynasty have another Zhang Juzheng." But if so, under the whole world, above the court, where is I placed? If he wants to take power one day, can the civil officials still be willing? Could it be that in the future, the Ming Emperor can only be a puppet? ”
The cabinet is in power, and the emperor has become a puppet, isn't this the prototype of a constitutional monarchy?
Zhu Youzhen said that if this is the case, Daming may be able to hold out for two more years.
But this is not the case, the imperial power has retreated into the background, but can the court fighting stop?
If there is no referee of imperial power, I am afraid that the time will be broken, and the Ming Dynasty will not know what they will look like.
Thinking of these, Zhu Youzhen also felt that the situation was difficult, and it was even more difficult to break the situation.
The Emperor of the Apocalypse gently patted Zhu Youzhen's shoulder, and said with concern on his face: "Brother Zhen'er has grown up, and he knows that he has shared his worries for the imperial brother." Now I absolutely can't let the civil officials act recklessly, you are still young, and these are not something you can control. ”
Zhu Youzhen knew that the cheap brother had just come of age, and it was the time to be unruly and iron-headed.
He must have planned to continue to support Wei Zhongxian against the civil officials who bound him.
Well, if they want to fight, let them fight, they can't mix it themselves, and they don't want to mix it.
Next, the Emperor of the Apocalypse asked a few words about Ping'anfang.
Zhu Youzhen's construction of a road and a house in Ping'an Fang has spread throughout the capital.
The Emperor of the Apocalypse also inquired from time to time, but they only thought that Zhu Youzhen was planning to build a workshop and make money.
Only Zhu Youzhen understands that Ping'an Fang is the first step in cultivating his own power.
