Zhu Houzhao strung together his historical memory with the current facts into a general logic.

It was Wang Hua who said that the little prince had conquered many internal forces in the past few years.

And Zhu Houzhao saw from the history books that the border was seriously troubled during the Hongzhi period.

What does it mean? It shows that people are safe inside and about to start outside.

This is people's way of thinking, and it has nothing to do with whether the Ming Dynasty is smiling or not. Even if you just laugh like a flower, you still get a slap in the face.

Of course, there are no foreign dogs in any era, don't patronize and say that our ancestors are stupid, even in the 21st century, there are many such people.

Zhou Du went to the cabinet to talk about this matter,

The three elders will have a feeling: the prince doesn't know the general situation.

"How did you get it right? Why did His Highness react in such a way?" Xie Qian stood up and asked.

Zhou Du was very wronged, "His Royal Highness asked why there were so many people in the Tatar mission, and I answered truthfully, saying that the little prince of Tatar was so happy."

"It's very inappropriate." Li Dongyang understood as soon as he heard it, "The East Palace is a person with great ambitions, and the little prince is so happy, doesn't it mean that he came to my Ming capital to Xuanhe martial arts?" What is the weather like for Your Highness? It must be annoyed by this."

Liu Jian asked, "You didn't think about persuading Your Highness, so you came to the cabinet?"

He is a upright character, so he can't get used to people like Zhou Du who don't dare to say half a word.

Zhou Du was very unimpressed in his heart, Donggong, what kind of master is that?

The imperial historian was cut by him to become a citizen, and Li Dongyang, a cabinet scholar, is now crumbling in the court.

Persuade?

Easy to say! Why don't you go, the head of the cabinet?!

Of course, this is also thinking about it.

He said stiffly: "Back to the elder, it's not that my subordinates haven't persuaded me, my subordinates have already said that this is the old system, and it has always been like this. His Royal Highness said that the little prince has changed the number of people, which can be regarded as a change in the old system, and if he can change it, we can naturally change it."

It's not a lie.

If they can't persuade the East Palace, the three of them will not have any doubts.

"Donggong's words do have a bit of my Ming prince's bearing to look down on the world." Liu Ge Lao has always agreed with Zhu Houzhao, that is, he is old, he is a literati, and he is used to being steady, and he lacks the vigor and courage of young people, "But this will ...... I'm afraid that it will cause trouble for no reason, but I don't know why I insist on it."

At this time,

A eunuch came, and he went to the cabinet to deliver a message, "The emperor has issued an edict to invite the three cabinet elders to the Qianqing Palace."

Liu, Li, and Xie glanced at each other, and their hearts were just right.

Zhu Houzhao had already done the work of Emperor Hongzhi. He didn't have to worry about it, he was worried that Hongji would also have the idea of spending money to buy peace of mind, anyway, he was waiting for this group of people to be pulled down after a few days.

In fact, Hongzhi really has this kind of thought, if the prince of Hongzhi ten years makes such a request, Hongzhi still has to hesitate, after all, no matter how much he favors, he can't joke about the Tatar mission.

But for so long, Zhu Houzhao has won his trust,

In Zhu Houzhao's own words: When did Erchen ever do something brainless?

After the ministers arrived in front of the royal court,

Zhu Houzhao spoke, "Three elders, when the palace came out of the academy today, I happened to meet more than 20 Tatars, and I felt strange in my heart, and after asking, I realized that this was the person sent by Xiao Wang to pay tribute. Can the elder know that the size of their mission is as large as 500 people entering Beijing alone?"

….

"The minister knows about this. The little prince originally wanted to send 6,000 men, but it was eventually reduced to 500."

That sounds like a big victory.

"These five hundred people eat horses and chew, and there is no need for the imperial court to bear some of their expenses in the capital, right?"

Zhu Houzhao doesn't think it's outrageous anymore, in fact, the ancients had the pride of the Heavenly Empire. I remember that in the Qing Dynasty, in order to entertain a group of British envoys, the emperor ordered a group of officials to take them from Beijing to Guangzhou, and the final cost was nearly 900,000 taels of silver.

With such a fee, how could the pride of the Heavenly Empire not pay for it themselves?

"Your Highness's words are wrong." Liu Jian's affairs in Shandong, including many things in the future, will be willing to cooperate with the East Palace, but he is not falling to the East Palace, so he should insist on it, or insist, "Your Highness has thought that if this will continues, it will definitely shake the Tatar Mission, and if there is any disturbance at that time, at the feet of this Son of Heaven, won't the face of the court be swept away?"

After speaking, Liu Ge Lao also looked at the emperor.

That means, you can't listen to your son for everything, right?

"How do you sweep the floor?!" Zhu Houzhao couldn't figure out the logic of this sentence, "Five hundred people, can I still turn the sky in my Ming Jingshi?!"

Liu Jian didn't understand what the crown prince meant, "If 500 people want to turn the sky upside down, they can't do it. But Weichen also has a section that is unclear. If the will is issued and the Tatars make a difference, then will these people kill or not? If you don't kill it, the court will lose face, and the people's hearts will be lost. Such a passive situation, just to save some silver, Your Highness thinks it is really worth it?"

"It's worth it! Of course it's worth it! Liu Ge didn't know that the people of the world were all running around and working all their lives for a few taels of silver? The tax money of the imperial court came from the people, but now it has to be spent on the heads of the Tatars, how can our monarchs and ministers explain to the people? This is one of them!"

"Second, is the passive situation that Liu Ge said that you can't kill and can't kill because of this will? According to this palace, this is definitely not the case, let me ask you, if we always treat each other with courtesy, they still commit crimes in Beijing, is this to kill or not to kill? I was afraid of the Tatars in my heart, and I just wanted to serve these masters well, and then send them out, so how they did it, we wouldn't kill them, right? It is the same with or without this will!"

"Third, you are the head of the Ming Cabinet, how to explain to the little prince is not something that Liu Ge should consider, how to explain to his father! Leave the mouth steady? Since ancient times, kings have been kings and losers, when have the Tatars reasoned with you, and if you don't leave them a truth, they won't come to the side?"

The crown prince asked three rhetorical questions with a face, and the truth in it was penetrated, and they naturally did not understand.

After all, I'm afraid.

Xie Qian added in due course, "Your Highness. The so-called soldiers, the major affairs of the country, must not be ignored. According to the will of His Highness, there will be a war between the two countries, and if the war starts, the lives will be ruined, and it will not be a good thing for the country or the people. Those who do not seek eternity are not enough to seek a moment; Those who do not seek the overall situation are not enough to seek a domain. Your Highness, don't talk about war lightly because of your youthful spirit!"

"I'm young?! I'm afraid you're in the twilight!" Zhu Houzhao slowly walked down and approached them step by step, "Elder Xie Ge, this palace asks you, that is, we treat each other politely everywhere, can you ensure that the little prince and Daming will not have a battle in the future?"

"This ......" Xie Qian was stunned, now they naturally know the pattern of the border, Wang Yue is still fighting with the Tatars at this time.

Don't mention these, even if the two countries are peaceful now, but the little prince decides to fight or not, how can he ensure it?

Emperor Hongzhi sighed, "The little prince is ambitious and conceited. Today's words of the crown prince sound absurd at first glance, but in this way, we monarchs and ministers should know that this battle is inevitable."

"Let's make a decision!" Zhu Houzhao didn't bother to talk nonsense, "If any imperial historian is still dissatisfied, this palace will bear it!" As for what's going on...... Father, the son-in-law, please order that the capital master be put under martial law!"

Martial law in Beijing? Li Dongyang listened to this last sentence and admired it in his heart, His Royal Highness was already preparing for the civil servant......

Recently, in fact, he has more and more of a feeling that when he encounters a monarch like the current saint, these courtiers still have room to play, but if they meet a prince like this, they simply raise the word 'obey orders, and the four words are simple.'

The eldest son of Da Ming.
