The logic of this sentence needs to be pondered.

Zhu Houxi understood what he meant.

The new generation of important ministers of the Ming Dynasty walked to the forefront, although many of them were brought up by Zhu Houxi, but they were not better controlled than Yang Ting and this group of people.

Yang Ting and these old ministers have a high status in themselves, and the factional context, positions, and political opinions in the court are very clear. Zhu Houxi was a combination of grace and power in the case of breaking the old pattern, and at the same time he trusted them and gave them the name behind them, as well as the benefits brought by letting them participate in the formulation of the new pattern and new rules as the first batch.

But there is no other reason why Xinchen is not easy to control, it is easier for Zhu Houxi to break the old pattern and old rules, is it easy to break the new pattern and new rules set by himself?

Zhang Fujing and Yan Song have grown up under these new patterns and rules. Their strength and interests will grow with them.

Zhu Houxi's trust and tolerance for the old ministers are certainly out of his mind, but why is it not out of the need for governance, and he needs to rely on them for the time being?

And this point will be more obvious after Zhang Fujing and Yan Song occupy a high position for more than ten years. It couldn't be simpler to govern a huge empire by one person. Especially now that Zhu Houxi is delegating power, do you know that after many years, he will not develop into an emperor and be subject to the ministers in the system? How can we guarantee that there will not be a new cauldron that someone can't replace, can't do, and smash the new cauldron made by Zhu Houxi himself?

Just like this time, can Zhu Houxi subvert the greed for money of the ministers in the enterprise at will? Knock it out.

And that's just the beginning.

Zhu Houxi set up the State Hall and the Prime Minister of State, and emphasized the country everywhere before the monarch, Yang Tinghe, who was in Nanjing in the past three years, thought a lot.

Now, he has made it up by virtue of the establishment of the crown prince.

Why did you bring up the two things of Prince Li and Sun Jiaolao together? That's the problem of the prison state.

You are a lord who likes to drive in person, and now the national policy meeting is discussing the repetition, but I am afraid that it will come again in the future.

If there is a royal driver's personal expedition, when Sun Jiao is also hanged, who can have that suitable identity to sit in the capital? In the past, Sun Jiao only controlled the safety of the capital by attending the national policy meeting and working with Cui Yuan and others, but what kind of position the courtiers are in, what kind of problems will they think about.

The tacit question between the two is: If you are wandering outside, the National Policy Council and the State Hall can govern the Ming Dynasty, so what is the significance of the existence of the emperor's legal system?

Yang Tinghe naturally didn't have the thinking and courage to think that the emperor didn't have to, he just felt that this was the most important hidden danger of the Ming Dynasty today.

Even if you're only twenty-three, you should think about it.

The crown prince is an introduction. According to common sense, Zhu Houxi is still so young, and Yang Tinghe's proposal to establish a prince is a bit taboo from the historical records.

The proposal to establish a crown prince has always touched on the division and continuation of the monarchy's power.

With the crown prince, it is natural to have a circle of courtiers who help cultivate the prince and surround the prince. Among this group of courtiers, there must be those who are in high positions and have outstanding reputation, and there must also be young courtiers who can accompany the prince to grow up and quickly hold on to power after the prince succeeds to the throne.

If the emperor wants to cultivate the crown prince, he also needs to put some power and let the prince try to deal with it when he is old.

And the temptation of imperial power can breed too many problems, which have happened many times in history.

It's just that now, Daming's situation is different.

Yang Tinghe's real problem is: imperial power and phase power, this generation of imperial power and the next generation of imperial power, the contradiction between them, you have to start thinking about it.

To put it mildly, there are no eyes for knives and guns. The last time he died on the battlefield, what about the next time?

Even if you have always been protected by the heavens and guarded by your subordinates, but a hundred years later, if your son feels that you have weakened some of the monarchy's power and makes him feel very bad, the Ming Dynasty will be a bloody storm again, and everything will be overturned again.

Zhu Houxi solemnly saluted Yang Tinghe: "Be taught!" I will definitely think about these questions. ”

Yang Tinghe's eyes moistened, and he left the table to pay respects: "Your Majesty's talent and diligence are rare in history, and the minister is relieved." ”

Looking at the emperor's reaction, he knew that the emperor understood.

He is more mature, more poised and more perceptive than he was eight years ago.

After being helped up by Zhu Houxi himself, he smiled heartily and said to the others: "The big guy has returned to his hometown, run a school, and take care of his body." If you enter the soil one day later, you can take a more look at what the Ming Dynasty will prosper. ”

"Taifu is very right!"

The tension in the Heart Cultivation Hall gradually subsided because of Yang Tinghe's rash invitation to the crown prince just now, and laughter and laughter returned.

After they left, Zhu Houxi came to the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Zaiqian was already asleep, and Sun Ming was pregnant again.

This year is not like last year, when he had to prepare for the declaration of war, Zhu Houxi was more relaxed. In the harem, including Sun Ming, a total of three people are pregnant this year, among which Duan Concubine and An Concubine are about to give birth after the New Year.

Yang Tinghe's invitation to set up the crown prince is also reminding Zhu Houxi to consider the waves that will definitely exist in the harem.

Zhu Houxi talked to Sun Ming for a while, and then went to Jing Concubine Zhang Qinghe's side.

The daughter born to him by Zhang Qinghe was also asleep, and after Zhu Houxi became a sage in Zhang Qinghe's bed, he couldn't help but continue to think quietly about the future.

With the historical knowledge he knows and the political literacy he has accumulated today, he naturally knows very well what kind of bloody possibility Yang Tinghe is reminding about.

No one is willing to hand over power, according to his current way of thinking, and when the Ming Dynasty has begun to have an industrial and commercial foundation, it will be up to his children and grandchildren to face the new class to extend their hands to power.

That is his descendant of Zhu Houxi, just like just now, real and intimately, born in this world.

Zhu Houxi sighed lightly: I'm afraid this is a more difficult problem to solve than what I answered.

Zhang Qinghe asked softly: "Your Majesty has something unhappy in your heart?" But the concubine is not well served? ”

"No, you're superb." Zhu Houxi came back to his senses, kissed her gently, and then looked at her beautiful and mature face in her early twenties.

For Zhang Qinghe, the mother in the harem is more precious than the son. She gave birth to a daughter, and it will naturally become more and more difficult to get through in the palace after many years.

Look, now there are young and beautiful women from foreign tribes, and Zhu Houxi is only in her early twenties. When he is forty or fifty years old, there will probably still be a steady stream of eighteen years old in the palace, right?

How many children will he have in such a long time?

Focusing on the country, the future of Daming and Huaxia, he should restrain his desires and family affection. In that case, it would be cruel to him, his women, and his children.

The contradiction really exists in all aspects.

The night was getting deeper and deeper, and Zhu Houxi couldn't sleep.

Until he figured out one thing: the tide of history is mighty, and many things cannot be avoided.

Perhaps his descendants also need a new ancestral precept.

Let's hope that the solution of this matter will depend on education.

……

The first day of December, the first day of the new year.

Before dawn in the morning, Zhang Fujing got up early.

"Father!"

His three sons had also gotten up and knelt down in unison in the flower hall outside his father's bedroom, their eyes were bright, and the corners of their mouths were full of joy: "Son to meet father." ”

“…… What are you doing with these? Although Zhang Fujing reprimanded, there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, "The boss is a good student in Mingbao Bank, and the two of you get up early, you might as well go to study." ”

"Today is the day when the father goes to court with state affairs, how can the sons not congratulate?"

Although they had long known that their father would be in the Hall of State, today was different.

Zhang Fujing set his eyes on the new official uniforms on the side, which were neatly placed on several plates.

New state affairs, from a product. The Prime Minister and the Minister of State and those who have completed nine years of new state affairs are all in the first grade.

From the beginning of the high school Tanhua to the Zhengliupin Guan Household Department, and now to become the Minister of State from the first grade, Zhang Fujing only took more than eight years to complete the road that most people can't finish in their lifetime.

He solemnly said: "My father can have today because of His Majesty's faith!" In the future, the three of you must remember not to be swaggering and reckless, do you understand? ”

"Follow your father's teachings!"

Zhang Fujing softened his expression and laughed.

After wearing this set of clothes, he is one of the people standing at the top among the Ming courtiers.

The official uniform seems to release invisible coercion, and Zhang Fujing, who once dared to slash the greedy ministers, is even more angry and arrogant.

It's time for him to show his strength!

In the Fei Mansion, Fei Hong has been wearing his official uniform for three years.

His son Fei Maoxian was not so excited, and even a little helpless.

Fei Hong couldn't help laughing: "Your Majesty has said that the virtuous do not avoid relatives." There will be an exam next year, and you can take it yourself. The syllabus and examination system have been changed, and even if you want to take care of you, you can't do it. ”

Three years and three years, three years and then and then three years.

Cousin Fei Maozhong is the champion of Zhengde for 16 years, so in the second year of Jiajing, he wants to avoid suspicion - even if he is just an ordinary jinshi, it will make people accuse the lead mountain Fei Shi of going out of Jinshi for many years.

In another three years, his father became the first prime minister of the Ming Dynasty, but Fei Maoxian still wanted to avoid suspicion, and Fei Hong explicitly forbade him to take the exam.

Now that another three years have passed, and his father's resignation attempt failed, Fei Maoxian sighed: "Since Xu Jiusi can be a high school student, his son should still be an official from a rising position." Starting from the seventh or eighth grade, if there is merit, it will not damage the reputation of the father. After six years, it will be more and more difficult. ”

Fei Hong looked at him with emotion, and finally said, "I have indeed grown up." ”

This second session, of course, will be more difficult.

In addition to Zhang Zilin and Wang Xian, look at who are the people who have been added to the State Palace?

Mao Ji was in the cabinet back then, and now he is back, with both seniority and age, but his body is very good.

Chen Jiuchou took the position of Zhang Lun of Zhishi, and the bigger reason was because he was familiar with the three sides, and this time, such as the State Palace, there was an important division of labor.

Wu Tingju was appointed as the secretary of the transfer department, and then went to the governor of Guangdong. He is the one who naturally stands with the new person who entered the State Palace, Zhang Fujing.

After Wang Qiong, Yang Tan, and Li Qi all became officials, some of the "turbidity" practical schools that had not dealt with Yang Tinghe, Jiang Mian, Mao Ji, and Zhang Zilin would all surround Zhang Fujing.

Because anyone with a discerning eye knows that Zhang Fujing is here to take over Fei Hong's class. This session belongs to the transitional session, and the old brings the new.

Therefore, it is really getting harder and harder, and my son has the ability to see.

Fei Hong silently warned himself: If I don't leave after three years, I will be a dog.

Then, I got ready to go to today's court.

At today's court meeting, the new ministers of state and the new batch of governors of the Ming Dynasty, the 13 provinces of the two capitals, the governors of the nine borders, and other advisers whose positions have changed will have new identities.

At the same time, the major policies for the next three years will also be announced.

In the next three years, the policy of a major country is very simple: comprehensively and deeply promote the new law to enrich the country, widely and meticulously promote the new study of culture and education, actively invest in the exploration of military and civilian technology, and reform the military system and diplomacy in a steady and pragmatic manner.

In a word: do not seek war abroad, focus on domestic rich countries and strong soldiers, cultivate talents and innovate.

At the same time, an important message will be released at the court meeting: according to the need, in another three years, the current six ministries of the Ming Dynasty will be reorganized and two more ministries, and the minister of state will add two more seats. That is to say - there are more opportunities.

So Fei Hong once again warned himself: After three years, I will have to deal with eight state affairs, and if I don't leave, I will be a dog.

Yang Shen, the new head of the household department, asked his father for advice: "How does the son grasp the proportions?" ”

Yang Tinghe looked at his son.

Eight years have passed, and he is different. Now in his forties, he has learned to be humble, and he is very good at what he asks.

"In last year's battle, I don't know how much food was fought." Yang Tinghe said, "This measure is to save money and food for the Northern Expedition in the future, but also not to let the people and gentry and rich households complain." In addition, the household department also has to prepare new Tongbao and Yinbao, which are of great importance, involving not only some official posts and officials, but also localities and enterprises. Many things, Zhang Mao is leading the household affairs, you can discuss with him more. ”

"My son understood. And the son went out. ”

"Go ahead." Yang Tinghe nodded, and smiled as he watched his son Shi Li, who was wearing a second-grade official uniform, turn around and leave.

Let his son be the head of the household, led by Zhang Fujing, and it is also another layer of care for the Yang family by His Majesty.

Standing with Zhang Fujing, within ten years, as long as Yang Shen has no major mistakes, he will be able to stand firm.

Xia Yan was also preparing to go out, although he was disappointed for a while before, but now he has adjusted.

It was because Shang Shuyan was the first to be praised by the emperor for his military affairs, and now let him go from Zhejiang to the governor's three sides, which can be regarded as allowing him to really make contributions to the side affairs.

It's just that at present, he doesn't know much about the governor of the three towns who is about to help him and the unified governor Lang Lang who is about to help him to the three sides.

Mao Bowen was changed from governor of Liaodong to governor of Gansu. The governor of the other two towns, one is Zhang Jing, who only patrols one town in Ningxia with the rank of chief of the six sections and the rank of squire of the military department, he is very important. And Fei Maozhong's governor Yansui, Xia Yan went south very early, and had little contact with Fei Hong's nephew. The supervisor Lang Zhong Zeng Milling was only a Jinshi in Jiajing for five years.

Fortunately, after attending this court meeting, he will set off with these people.

There is always a glimpse of their talents and temperaments.

In any case, the three sides are headed by him Xia Yan, who has added the title of secretary of the military department.

The sky is not yet bright, and the ministers outside the Chengtian Gate are in order.

The important ministers who have already determined their positions are thinking about their next three years, but because of their moves, the four or five grades below the back of the train are more concerned about the next selection.

Yang Shen did not squint, Yan Song, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, talked quietly with Zhang En, who was changed from the household department to the secretary of the ministry, and not far behind Zhang En was Huang Zuo, who was transferred from the right attendant of the Nanjing Ministry of Officials to the left attendant of the Beijing Minister's Department.

After the drum sounded the tee, looking at the Chengtian Gate slowly opening in front of him, Huang Zuo took a deep breath.

He's back.

For more than eight years, under the promotion of the emperor, a group of new ministers in the sixteenth year of Zhengde have risen to high positions.
