Chapter 180: What the Holy Monarch Does

After the news from Zhejiang.

Zhu Houzhao was discussing with the ministers how to deal with it, because the matter involved a clan like King Huai, and it was really all pulled out, pulling out the radish and bringing out the mud, and it was estimated that the officials of the Ming Dynasty would have to be glued.

"What line is King Huai?"

There are so many relatives in his own family that he can't even remember them.

Wang Wei, Han Wen and other ministers are also not surprised, King Huai has no sense of existence in the court, and it is no wonder that the prince does not know.

Gu Zuoyan, the left attendant of the household department, said: "Back to His Royal Highness, King Huai is the seventh son of Emperor Renzong, and now King Huai is the fourth generation."

Renzong ...... Zhu Houzhao thought about it carefully, this relationship was far away, and he didn't know what to call it.

"When it comes to the vassal king, the palace still has to report to my father and let my father know." Zhu Houzhao lowered his eyebrows slightly, "However, this palace can promise you gentlemen that even if this matter involves the clan clan, what Liu Daxia said will not happen."

In February of the seventeenth year of Hongzhi, Liu Daxia asked all those who were not left by the ancestors to endanger the army and the people to be dismissed, many of which were unfavorable to the magnates, so the magnates tried their best to prevent them, and the Hongzhi Emperor could not make up his mind, so he issued an edict to discuss it after the court meeting.

So Liu Daxia replied: The matter belongs to the foreign officials of the imperial court, and all of them are approved. A little bit of the powerful involved in the discussion and verification. The ministers are stupid, I don't know why?

This incident was celebrated by the foreign minister as Liu Daxia's glorious deeds, and Liu Daxia's image of loyal ministers was more realistic, and his good name will be left in the history books.

Zhu Houzhao is also referring to this matter.

"Your Highness is serious." Wang Wei knew the crown prince's intentions, "The Holy Lord has always attached great importance to the way of kissing, and His Royal Highness should not be reluctant in this matter, and he is not afraid of running out of firewood to stay in the green mountains."

When Han Wen and Gu Zuo heard it, the relationship between Wang Wei and the prince had reached this level. Doesn't it mean that it's not too late to do this when you become the emperor in the future.

"In addition...... Wechen thinks that this time Zhejiang's nest should not involve other provinces." Wang Wei said eagerly: "Zhejiang's eucalyptus is complicated, once it is allowed to be arbitrarily involved, then Jiangxi, Henan, Huguang and even Beijing are all unavoidable, and now there is a drought in Shandong, and there are Tatars in the north, it is really not suitable to turn all the provinces upside down. Your Royal Highness, with all due respect, the two people who went to Zhejiang this time, Mao Wen belonged to Jinyiwei, and Zhang Yong was an internal official.

Zhu Houzhao put down his feet and leaned to the side, he didn't have a look, just looked at the other side, "Min Shangshu, what do you say? Speaking of which, you are still a native of Huzhou, Zhejiang, and you should know the mountains and rivers of Zhejiang."

Min Jue was not very satisfied when he heard it, "His Royal Highness is the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, and Weichen, like all his colleagues, is also a courtier of the Ming Dynasty, there should be no difference between Zhejiang and Jiangxi, and Wang Hua, the governor of Zhejiang, is also from Zhejiang, he can be impartial and upright, why can't Weichen?"

Zhu Houzhao couldn't cry or laugh, and pointed at him, "It is said that you Min Chaoying has a strange temper and a stubborn personality, I think it's really like that. I'm just saying that you know more about Zhejiang, when did you say that I have a gateway view?" ….

Min Jue blushed slightly, but he also made a simple gesture, "If not, the minister pleaded guilty to His Highness, and the minister lost his words. But the minister's heart still has to be revealed to His Highness. As for Zhejiang's corruption nest, the situation is shocking, if it is not dealt with, the imperial court will lose the support of the people, so the minister as the secretary of the criminal department also agrees. However, the minister thinks that in the future, he should not be so investigated, because the movement is too big and the people's hearts are fluctuating; Second, hundreds of officials were dealt with in a very short period of time, and it was really too late to carefully examine them, and many of them were unjust, false and wrong; Thirdly, it is not good for His Highness's reputation."

Zhu Houzhao nodded, "Min Shangshu's suggestion is accepted by this palace, otherwise you should have your stubborn temper with this palace again."

The prince said it with a smile, and Min Jue was not annoyed, shaking his head lightly and said, "The minister is speaking out for the country."

What a stubborn old man.

However, speaking of which, Zhu Houzhao also felt that Zhejiang's affairs should indeed not be expanded, and if all the officials of the whole country were dragged out and plowed again, the country would not get better immediately, which was not his purpose

To a certain extent, the merchant forces in Zhejiang will be disintegrated, so that Mei Kejia's smuggling can continue, and his goal has been achieved.

Political purpose.

In the final analysis, there are indispensables in this.

However, the sudden rise of politicians in the past generations has never been a matter of facts, but of politics. That is, it is not for the purpose of breaking the eucalyptus, but for the purpose of politics.

If in the process, some people are implicated and suffer unfair treatment.

…… Suffice it to say that this is politics. Of course, there is fairness, truth, honesty, and justice on the surface of politics, but it is only on the surface.

The individual is a speck of dust of the times, and the fate of the individual has been completely changed by a major event, and this kind of thing has never been extinct, and Zhu Houzhao is not alone.

What Wang Wei and Min Qi said is that they are both old and seeking the country, and they are both sincerely for the country and for him, the prince, and some people in the court have their own goals, so he will not listen, but of course his own people are different.

"By the way, this time I checked it, and I should be able to copy some silver in Zhejiang. Great Situ,"

"The minister is here!"

"Is there still a shortage of silver taels for disaster relief in Shandong?"

Han Wen immediately knelt down, "Many things His Highness has done are quite controversial, but the minister knows that His Highness is the real benevolent and loving people. The people of Shandong have thanked His Royal Highness for his kindness! If His Highness allows, the minister will ask for 600,000 taels of silver."

There is a private treasury but no selfishness.

Zhu Houzhao felt more comfortable when he heard this.

In life, there are always people who like and dislike, and he is used to this, and he can see it. But if someone can really agree with him, then it is inevitable that the vulgar should be happy.

"This money is allowed by this palace." However, Zhu Houzhao was a little strange, "But didn't you say before that there was a shortage of 800,000 taels of silver? Where did the other 200,000 taels come from?"

Han Wen replied: "If it is a large-scale construction project or the purchase of precious treasures, the minister can't think of a way to get 200,000 taels of silver, but to help the victims, the minister has to dig three feet into the ground to find the silver. These 200,000 taels have already sent special personnel to the neighboring provinces to buy grain and transport it to Shandong." ….

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help laughing, and fanned everyone to say about him, "Look, everyone says that this Han Guandao is honest, I see that you all called him a fool!"

"Haha!" Wang Wei, Min Jue, Gu Zuo and other courtiers couldn't help laughing.

"Han Shangshu, your words have made this palace happy. If all the courtiers in the world are like Han Guandao, I am afraid that the hungry people of my Ming Dynasty will be less than half." Zhu Houzhao was a little excited, and said quite formally: "Hanwen, you are already the head of the household, the official in charge of money and food, you are the biggest. Lone can only reward you with a prince and a princess!"

The prince was formal, and Han Wen was naturally not sloppy, so he immediately knelt down and bowed, "Weichen has to be used by His Royal Highness, and those who do it will repay His Highness's kindness, and they will never dare to be rewarded."

"No, the reward must be rewarded. It's not because you're good at talking and answering well. It's that you're doing your job well. At that time, the palace said for the first time that the palace was eyeing the money and grain of several counties involved in the division of land after Qi Kuan's death, and you were appointed as the leader of the big Situ and managed it in a good way, and the situation in several counties was good. You deserve it."

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness!"

Han Wen is indeed very useful in Zhu Houzhao's hands, mainly because he is quite pragmatic, talented and down-to-earth.

Of course, the treasury sometimes has no money, and this is not his problem, the financial model of the Ming Dynasty has not been rich for a few years.

After today's discussion in the East Palace, the officials went again satisfied. Even if others were not rewarded, the conversation between Han Wen and the prince made them feel happy.

They are all old ministers, they have served at least two emperors, and they have read so much about the history of gentlemen and villains, and faint monarchs and mediocre monarchs, how many of them really govern the country with their hearts and care for the people like today's princes?

Now this official is at least not tired.

But when Min Jue, the secretary of the Criminal Department, returned home, he touched it

As for his eldest son's second son, Min Bingsheng, who had just returned home, in fact, this was also his eldest grandson, because the son before Min Bingsheng died shortly after he was born.

Min Bingsheng didn't know if he had won any treasure or encountered some great good thing, and when he returned to the house, the whole person was extremely happy, walking and jumping, and he was happy to meet his subordinates.

Seeing it in his eyes, Min Jue couldn't help but snort sullenly.

In traditional education, such an unstable performance is definitely unqualified, and Min Jue is strict with himself, let alone his children and grandchildren.

Soon after, Min Bingsheng went to his study and knelt.

"Grandpa, my grandson knows that I am wrong."

Min Jue threw him a book, "I asked you to read Han Changli's article, how did you read?" Do you understand "Sending Dong Shao Nanxu"?"

Min Jue's character, everyone in the family is afraid of him, and Min Bingsheng is no exception, he was reprimanded so harshly, he couldn't say anything immediately.

Min Jue was even more angry, "Say! What did you do today? Are you messing with anyone?"

Min Bingsheng didn't dare to hide it, "Go back to ...... Grandpa's words, today my grandson went to the poetry club with Cao Jiyi and other imperial historians."

What kind of poetry will be, Min Jue still doesn't know the urine sex of his grandson, where is the poetry club, I'm afraid there are only famous prostitutes and dance music. ….

However, the name Cao Jiyi alerted him, and there were people in the imperial history that the prince reprimanded in the early dynasty last time.

"What are you talking about together?"

"It's nothing, so I just said it...... said that the East Palace had returned the song, which had not happened before, so Sun Er was curious to listen to it. Grandpa, don't you say that His Highness is the master? How can you return so many notes?"

Min Jue's face changed greatly when he heard this, he had already heard the questioning of the prince in his grandson's words, and he immediately became even more annoyed, "Ignorant child, what do you know?! None of what the prince does and says every day is not for the people, and you, do you think that following these people to say a few words about the country and the people will make you great? Go back to the house and read! Without my permission, you are not allowed to leave the house again!"

"Grandpa! The prince has killed so many people in Zhejiang, and his grandson has heard that there are good people who have been wronged!"

Min Jue didn't expect this little Wang Balamb to dare to resist, "Someone! Lock him up for me!"

"Grandpa!" Min Bingsheng shouted, but he still dragged down the subordinates in the house.

Min Jue didn't know who was saying these words behind his back, but he wouldn't let his grandson out again, otherwise he wouldn't know what trouble he would cause.

In his opinion, the prince's character is even better than that of the saint, and the emperor still wants to build a Taoist temple or something, and the prince himself is strongly opposed to these things. The same is true in the treatment of the clans.

Look at Han Guandao again, it was a reward for the people to make a blessing, and this was basically what the Holy Monarch did.

Now this question can be big or small, but after thinking about it, Min Jue decided to write a letter to remind the prince that some people and some words cannot be said in a laissez-faire.

At this time, the crown prince did not find his father, and went around a few times to reach Kunning Palace, but the emperor made him faint with a word. He's only fourteen years old and getting married!.
