Zhu Houzhao's method of calling these ministers to work can work, and there are still key points in it. In the middle of the Ming Dynasty, courtiers such as Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, Han Wen, and Wang Wei were all courtiers who had the heart to do things.

If it is really in the last years, all of them are corpses and vegetarian meals, fighting with each other, not to mention that the people below are against them, they themselves will first violate the emperor's yang and yin, then it will be a lot more troublesome.

During the Hongzhi period, it was okay, the crown prince put forward the idea of reorganizing the army, although Wenchen was a little worried about the prince's enthusiasm for martial arts, but first, those people were deposed a lot in the Zuoshunmen Change, and secondly, the prince did not really do anything pro-conquest, Northern Expedition and the like, and the harm of the Beijing army, many ministers in the court and the central government can see it, how can it be done without rectification?

Speaking of which, Zhu Houzhao sometimes feels strange, if he is reckless in military force and spends money to pull up the army, then there will definitely be a lot of opposition, but if he wants to tie up the name of solving the 'Beijing army's occupation, the matter will be strongly supported.

Among them, I don't know if there is a Beijing army occupying the service, which is mainly a factor for the emperor and nobles to profit.

In short, after Wang Yue entered Beijing, the cabinet summoned the people from all the ministries, the general political envoys, the Dali Temple, and the Inspectorate to discuss.

The prince meant that the prince wanted everyone to make this decision together, so it was not just a matter of the military department and the household department.

「…… You should have no objection to the article on the cessation of occupation and the reorganization of the army, and at that time the cabinet will begin, and you will attach it, and we will submit this to Your Highness. But before that, how to organize the army must also be discussed according to His Highness's wishes."

Wang Yue was the first secretary of the military department, and he was the one who was supported by the prince, and others and himself thought so. It's just that he didn't expect it to be such a big move as soon as he came up.

"After all, we have to find out first, which projects occupy the Beijing camp, right?"

In fact, when it comes to this stubble,

The cabinet, including the six ministries, has some gloom hidden in their hearts.

The will of the Jingying occupation was ordered by the emperor, and the construction of the project was either the residence of the empress's mother, or some Taoist temples and temples, followed by the city walls and some dilapidated palaces in the palace.

Which of these can be stopped?

Wang Yue was strange, "Your Highness...... Haven't mentioned it yet?"

In fact, Wang Yue really didn't know, so he asked like this, he had such a personality, and he didn't think too much.

But Liu Jian was a little dissatisfied when he heard it, Wang Weining's credit was great, but he couldn't ask like this, it sounded as if he was dissatisfied with His Royal Highness. That is, he is not in good health in his seventies,

If you are in your fifties, it's strange that you don't clean him up with the prince's character, what's wrong with winning the battle? Since ancient times, there have been fewer generals who have won battles and ended badly?

"Your Highness is not easy." Elder Liu Ge sighed and said, "According to what the old man can see, His Highness is not unaware of the difficulties involved, but it is useless to talk to us about these things. In the final analysis, this has something to do with family affairs in the palace. We, the courtiers, are beyond our strength."

Unless there is another change of Zuo Shunmen.

But Zhu Houzhao didn't want to, he fanned everyone to oppose Empress Zhang, so how difficult is it for his son to be caught in the middle? The whole is a modern version of the angry bag under the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and it is not a person inside and out.

….

"Then our strategies ......" Han Shangshu was also worried in his heart, after meeting the prince that day, the enterprising spirit shown by the prince made him, a household secretary, very excited, and he also thought about stopping the occupation for a long time.

If he doesn't do it, he'll be really disappointed.

"So be it." Li Dongyang spoke, "Your Highness's request must be fulfilled first. Shou Ningbo and Jian Changbo, we are not afraid of them."

The courtiers of the Ming Dynasty even dared to scare the emperor, and the relatives and vassal kings did not pay attention to them, everyone was just worried that these measures would not fall to the ground, and after the eleventh year of Hongzhi's holy decree, hasn't it been slow progress until now?

"Let's take a decision." Liu Jian spoke up last.

……

……

Zhu Houzhao naturally knew that this was actually a family affair in the palace. The foreign minister has already been dealt with by him, even if it takes some money and food to reorganize the army, but who dares to say a word now?

And the things in the palace, in the final analysis, were made by Emperor Hongzhi, and Emperor Hongzhi was weak and a little afraid of his wife, so in the final analysis, it was Empress Zhang.

In the Ming generation, the old Zhu family did not have high requirements for the queen's family background. At the beginning, I thought that if I was a big family, and then I had a daughter who would be the queen, it might pose a threat to the royal family.

Of course, this consideration cannot be miscalculated, and in fact it is quite reasonable. The Ming Dynasty's 'troubles of relatives' are basically negligible.

But there are two sides to everything, that is, the queen is from a small family, and she is easy to ...... Anyway, she's easy to be uninformed!

For example, stingy, ignorant of the general situation, short protection, and no so-called 'mother of the world, quality.

There is no way, one method cannot take advantage of both ends.

Now from a small family, it means that the queen's mother's family used to live in general, at least not a noble family, once she was powerful, she liked to make up for these 'missing children' for her mother's family.

What about my mother's family, I really haven't been rich, and when I see that my daughters are all queens, isn't that a person who has ascended to heaven?

The Zhang family is like this.

In fact, on the side of the Empress Dowager Zhou, the Zhou family is similar. It belongs to the eldest brother, don't laugh at the second brother.

Don't look at the Empress Dowager Zhou who is now reciting Buddha and chanting scriptures every day and has no quarrel with the world. That's when she's old, and her great-grandchildren are all out, so what's going on?

In fact, she didn't fight less when she was young, she was Zhu Qizhen's concubine, Zhu Qizhen also has a loving Queen Qian, but Queen Qian didn't give birth to a son, this is the bone eye Zhou Empress Dowager was born, that is, Zhu Houzhao's grandfather Zhu Jianshen, this guy, it is estimated that when he was confined, his heart began to drip and have ideas......

Zhu Qizhen was later arrested, and he made a little uncle to be the emperor, can the Empress Dowager Zhou be happy? As a result, Zhu Qizhen later came back and ascended the throne...... Finally, when his son Zhu Jianshen became the emperor, there was another Wan Guifei who no one could touch......

After this toss, the Empress Dowager Zhou, who is still standing in the palace, is not an old lady who can only recite scriptures.

Zhu Houzhao felt a headache just thinking about these things, anyway, if his future uncle dared to be so virtuous, he would be picked up for him.

I don't know which bastard sang to ask the beauty not to be the country, you go and try, like Song Huizong, the beauty is called by the enemy to be caught?

….

Kunning Palace.

When Zhu Houzhao arrived, Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling had indeed arrived.

"Son, see the queen mother."

He also glanced at his two uncles, the two brothers of the Zhang family probably remembered the board they had been beaten before, so they felt a little hairy, but in Kunning Palace, they still had confidence.

"The prince doesn't have to be polite, come to the queen mother's side." Queen Zhang's appearance is still graceful and beautiful, and there are no requirements for family background, so natural people must look good, otherwise what is the picture?

So Zhu Houzhao is actually quite good-looking, and he can be regarded as a beautiful eyebrow.

Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling glanced at each other, and then also saluted, "The minister has seen His Highness."

"Two uncles, let's settle down."

Zhu Houzhao took a closer look at the two people, trying to find out if there were traces of crying in the corners of their eyes. In fact, whether he has cried or not, he knows that these two people are looking for the queen to recall the soldiers in Xingji County.

"Prince." Empress Zhang took her son's hand and first asked for warmth, "The Holy Lord is recuperating and ordering you to supervise the country, although the queen mother is a woman, she also knows that state affairs are not easy, and Zhao'er will work hard."

"Where is the queen mother, there is also a tradition of sons following Lao Tzu's work, and the more hard the son is, the less hard the father will work. The queen mother doesn't have to worry, there's nothing big at the moment."

Empress Zhang's psychology is actually that she naturally loves her son, which can't be faked, but what is she worried about? It's the foreign minister's gang that will fool the prince to do something.

Originally. His Majesty will protect the Zhang family no matter what. But the crown prince taught Shou Ningbo and Jian Changbo a lesson last time. From the minister's point of view, this is a gift to Zhang

A great opportunity for family color to see.

So Queen Zhang naturally thought of this stubble.

"Zhao'er, it's not the queen mother who asks more. But...... It seems that I heard that some courtiers suggested that the construction of a project in Xingji County should be stopped?"

"Mother, where did you hear this?" Zhu Houzhao raised his head in surprise, and then his gaze immediately turned to Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling.

The prince is powerful, mainly because he has beaten them, and they are also a little worried.

To be honest, these two uncles were really not afraid of anyone in the Hongzhi Dynasty, and the history books record that they not only flirted with the palace maids, but also tried to wear the crown of Emperor Hongzhi, and basically dared to do anything.

Whoever gets them, they get them.

Only this prince, they can't help it.

You are the younger brother of Empress Zhang, and I am still the son of Empress Zhang!

Empress Zhang is a difficult person caught in the middle at the moment, the palms of her hands and the backs of her hands are full of meat, "Anyway, they are all a family, since they are a family, they don't talk about two families, it's your two uncles, they've been talking for more than half an hour." Zhao'er, tell the queen mother first if there is such a thing, and if not, then everyone will be happy."

Zhu Houzhao didn't answer this question first, "Queen Mother, let Erchen ask first. Where did the two uncles hear about it?"

Zhang Heling looked at Zhang Yanling, Zhang Yanling frowned and didn't want to speak, that means you are the eldest brother, you don't go up?

"That's it...... My two brothers also listened to people outside. Your Highness, is there really such a courtier who makes this suggestion? Your Highness, you have to see clearly, there are only more than 20,000 people in Xingji County, why don't these ministers mention this or that, just mention our family?"

….

After Zhang Heling finished speaking, Zhang Yanling also dared to say, "Yes, Your Highness, don't you be taken to the ditch by the foreign minister."

Empress Zhang's eyes changed, "This is the Qianqing Palace, not your family!" Speak according to the rules!"

"Yes, the queen taught." Zhang Yanling shrank her head, but in fact, this picture is a bit like their bickering at home when they were children.

Zhu Houzhao didn't understand anything, this reprimand was made for him.

"The queen mother just said that it is a family, and since it is a family, the sons and daughters can't say it, but they have to say it to the queen mother."

The three members of the Zhang family were finally relieved when they heard the prince's words.

"There is such a thing. But because of the complexity of the situation, the ministers only said so, and the will has not yet been made clear."

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the two brothers became eager. Empress Zhang's face was also solemn.

"This ...... This highness, since it didn't come out, it was just right. How can such a will be given? It's just enough to tell them to stop!"

"What's the alarm?" Queen Zhang was unhappy when she saw the two of them, she was frizzy, and people knew that the Zhang family had no self-cultivation.

And the prince Zhu Houzhao let out a long sigh here, and what was even more exaggerated was that as soon as the prince's big eyes flashed, the little tears blinked out, and two tear stains came out of the tender face!

"Zhao'er, what's going on?" Empress Zhang's heart trembled, and she quickly pulled the prince over and stretched out her hand to hold him in her arms, "Don't cry, don't cry, the two uncles are also in a hurry, not for you."

"Queen Mother, Erchen just feels wronged." Zhu Houzhao wiped his tears and said, "The uncles said that this matter is not feasible, but the sons don't understand this truth. The ministers said that they would gather these soldiers and train them every day to become a strong army, so why not? The sons have the responsibility of supervising the country, if the Beijing camp can't fight, when the Tatars come, who will protect the father? Who protects the queen mother? If something goes wrong, how can the sons explain to their fathers and mothers? Mother, doesn't that make sense?"

Empress Zhang stroked the prince's cheek, "The truth, naturally, this truth also makes sense."

"But Erchen is also thinking, the soldiers of the Jingying camp did not do anything else, the holy decree was issued by the father, and what was built was either the mausoleum of my grandfather, or the house of my grandmother, or the Taoist temple and temple for blessings, which is not for our own family

Affair? Between the left and right, the sons and daughters were also in great difficulty, and they were really at a loss. But ......."

Zhu Houzhao turned around and faced the two of them, complaining with some anger, "But have the two uncles considered the difficulties of the prince Gu?!" Have you considered your nephew's difficulties?"

Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling immediately knelt down.

"Your Highness...... We are two brothers, and naturally ...... Naturally, it was also considered. But as His Highness said, those constructions are ...... It's all for my family."

"Is there really one?" Zhu Houzhao smiled miserably, and the accusations continued, "Why does Lone feel that he doesn't have it? Obviously, the cabinet has not yet made a will, and the two uncles panicked when they heard the rumors outside the palace, so it's okay, if you ask for a certificate, it's good to ask in the East Palace, why do you want to go to Kunning Palace to bother the queen mother? Isn't this going to be the queen's will to suppress the orphan?"

….

"Zhao'er," Empress Zhang said aloud when she heard that something was wrong, "...... Don't think about it, Heling and Trillium aren't that smart enough to think of this section."

"Yes, yes." The two uncles nodded hurriedly, "What the queen said is exactly, we two brothers are stupid people."

"Are there two uncles who know it in their hearts?" Zhu Houzhao continued: "Just now, the queen mother said that we are all our own family, what is our own family? Your own family is to be considerate of each other's difficulties. The queen mother loves the two uncles, so the sons are entangled and hesitated for a long time about this matter. So...... Why is it that only the sons are considerate of the uncles, and the uncles are not considerate and considerate of the sons?"

"As soon as I heard that my benefits had been lost, I immediately thought of stopping it, I didn't think about whether I could stop it, whether I should stop it, whether it would be good for the court and the people, whether it would be good for Erchen, the prince of the prison country, I just wanted to see if it would be good for you. This is called your own family?! It's just some rumors in the capital, so if the uncles care about it like this, they can't wait to come to Kunning Palace, this is called understanding?!"

"The Queen Mother." The crown prince saluted the queen, "The retainer has just been rude. It's really sentimental and inexplicable, and the ministers forced their sons, so forget it. Back in the harem, the uncles who are related to the sons also forced the sons, the sons of the first state affairs, extremely difficult, grievances in their hearts, difficult to tell, then cried out, please forgive the queen mother! As for the two uncles, they are like this, and the sons don't know what to say! Let the Queen Mother decide!"

The queen was also uncomfortable hearing her son say this.

The two uncles are not smart people like Liu Jian and Li Dongyang, where can this kind of performance at a critical time be done properly and perfectly? Therefore, I can only say incoherently: "Your Highness, where is this, we are courtiers in public and family in private, how can we not want to be considerate of Your Highness?"

Empress Zhang was about to die of embarrassment, and she came up with an idea, "Otherwise. The Beijing camp is so important, so the other construction soldiers sent will be withdrawn. On the side of Crane Ling and Trillium, for the time being, it will be slowed down. It's always going to work."

Zhu Houzhao wanted to laugh in his heart.

turned the corner and said, "Since it is the words of the queen mother, there is no reason why it can't be done. And the queen said, Which ones are withdrawn? Is it the withdrawal of monastic temples and temples, or the withdrawal of temples in the palace?"

"This ......" Empress Zhang is also an ordinary woman with average qualifications after all, and she is not easy to answer.

Because Taoist temples and temples are related to the Empress Dowager Zhou, Zhu Houzhao is pressed by the word filial piety, doesn't Empress Zhang have it?

And the palace in the palace is related to His Majesty, is the place where the emperor lives not as important as the place where the Zhang family lives?

This dead end forced the three Zhang family members to be speechless.

In the end, Zhang Yanling simply said, "Queen, Your Highness, why did you withdraw? Don't even withdraw it! Your Majesty is the king of Zhongxing, the world is stable, it has been like this for the past few years, and there is nothing 'just in case, ah, the ministers think that it must be those courtiers in the outer court who are bewitching the people and demagoguery!"

He, a man who doesn't learn and doesn't know how to do it, just picks up simple idioms, but in fact, he uses them indiscriminately.

Zhu Houzhao became angry when he heard his words, "What kind of nonsense is my uncle talking about?!" No whatever? How do you know it must not be?! Didn't my uncle know that Dayan Khan in the north had settled down and was going to expand outward? One day something really happens, what will happen to my mother?! What about the queen of the Ming Dynasty?!"

….

Empress Zhang saw that her son was about to get angry, so she couldn't sit still, "Prince, don't be impulsive yet. Trillium, make amends to the crown prince!"

"No need." Zhu Houzhao seized the opportunity to prevent them from talking properly, "If it is not for my own family members who truly understand each other, what good will it do to make amends? Queen Mother, no matter what anyone says, Erchen must think about your safety, the huge Beijing division doesn't even have a decent army, this is absolutely not good! Taking a step back, the son has at least been considerate of his own family, and his own family has not been considerate of the son and the mother, and the queen can see it clearly, if the queen mother thinks that the son is acting against filial piety, she can only send a decree and punish her!"

How could the queen really punish her son? The prince's left sentence is for his mother, and the right sentence is for his mother, and there are still many grievances. What could she do?

And how did this grievance come about? It's that the prince was still struggling, but the two uncles couldn't hold back and ran to cry first, and they didn't think about the prince at all!

What about your own family, what is your own family doing this kind of thing?!

Empress Zhang is indeed not a reasonable person, she is in love, but her brother is kissed, and her son is also kissed! Protect your younger brother, but your son will ignore it? There is no such mother in the world.

"What Zhao'er said is not unreasonable. You two should not be preoccupied with yourselves, where is the lack of you in eating and drinking?"

As soon as Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling heard this, their faces turned pale like vegetables, and they immediately cried again, "Queen Mother! Where do we care about ourselves? Just now, His Highness said that those constructions are for ......."

"Two uncles." Zhu Houzhao interrupted them, just not giving them a chance, "The two uncles are elders, and now the nephew is in charge of the country, can't he support the nephew?"

"You two don't talk about it, you have to be an uncle to be an uncle." Empress Zhang was embarrassed and felt a little irritable, "This matter depends on the prince."

……

……

Zhu Houzhao walked out of Kunning Palace, and kept going to Qianqing Palace, the emperor was recuperating, but he couldn't wait.

"Son, see my father!"

Emperor Hongzhi was helped by Xiao Jing to sit on the bed on his back, "I've said it a few times, when no one is around, don't salute when you see me."

"The retainers are used to it. Father, the matter of the occupation of the Beijing army has been completed, and the Zhang family has also settled."

The Emperor was a little surprised, even more incredulous, "Can this be done? How did you do that?"

His daughter-in-law, he himself is not clear?

"Father, don't worry about that for now. The sons have a will to invite, in addition to the soldiers of the Zhang family, the soldiers and sons of the emperor who ordered the construction of the city wall must also be recalled. The father's decree for the whole army has been issued, and the sons and ministers will not agree!"

"I've been a stranger! Okay, you can handle this matter properly as soon as possible! That Xiao Jing ......."

"The slave is here."

"If the queen comes over in a while, you will say that I ...... I'm feeling unwell. Don't say I'm getting better, do you hear that?"

"Yes." Xiao Jing didn't know what to say.

meanwhile

The cabinet also received Liu Jinchuan's dictation from the prince: The cabinet will draft the entire military regulations as soon as possible, and send it to the prince for reading tomorrow!

Tomorrow?!

Liu Jian and the others were furious when they heard it, it's all evening, arrange the work they want tomorrow, can they still sleep tonight?

"Dare to ask Grandpa Liu." Liu Jian stepped forward and asked, "Why are you in such a hurry now?"

Liu Jin whispered, "Your Highness has instructed that this matter has been nodded by the queen. But be quick, tomorrow will make a will, and on the same day, someone will go to Xingji County to spread the decree. I'm afraid that in two days there will be a reversal."

Zhu Houzhao is a stable word, and if anything doesn't land, I don't know what the result will be. Don't mention it, if Empress Yi goes over there and cries for a while, Emperor Hongzhi can't stand it, and it will be annoying again.

It was surprising that everyone in the cabinet heard that the crown prince had a way to get Empress Zhang to agree.

After a careful understanding, I learned that it was Shou Ningbo and Jian Changbo who went to Kunning Palace to cry first.

"There is no clear decree from the Cabinet, Your Highness

The palace ban was rectified again, and we couldn't get out of the East Palace that day when we talked with His Highness. How did Shou Ningbo and Jian Changbo hear the rumors and go to Kunning Palace to cry?" Xie Qian was very strange.

He felt that this should be another means of the crown prince.

"Let's draw up a strategy. I'm going to deliver it tomorrow." Li Dongyang put a stack of papers in front of him, glanced at him, what are you talking so much.

This is actually called leadership coordination, clerks working overtime, do your work!
