"Okay, I've got a note of that."

Zhu Zhanyan responded almost without much thought, mainly because he believed in Xia Yuanji.

Normally, people who deal with the word wealth and power are generally the dirtiest people and the most all-out people, but Xia Yuanji is an exception.

The word "financial power" is not bad, and normal departments generally only involve one factor, but the household department involves two.

As a household secretary, and a twenty-five year household secretary, Xia Yuanji's life is full of imprints left by the word wealth.

But it is such a person who deals with financial power every day, but he can get out of the mud without staining, and he has no intention of greedy for financial power.

Until now, the mansion where Xia Yuanji lived was still rewarded by the imperial court, and the meager income of the Ming Dynasty officials was the only source of his family's life, which Zhu Zhanyan saw with his own eyes.

You know, Jinyiwei is not a vegetarian.

"I'm going to stay in Beijing for a while, because I've been away for too long, so long that some people have forgotten how sharp Daming's saber is, and how powerful Daming's firearms are."

"Second, there's something else to do."

"During this time, you will temporarily let Wang Zuo be in charge of the affairs of the household department, and you can just watch from the sidelines, teach him, or supervise, it all depends on you."

"Just right, you also take this opportunity to take a break."

Speaking of this, Zhu Zhanyan looked at Xia Yuanji with emotion: "After so many years, you have worked hard for the Ming Dynasty, and it is time to rest and rest." ”

"Thank you for your concern." Xia Yuanji bowed slightly.

There was no objection, nor was he happy, he just accepted Zhu Zhanyan's arrangement very calmly, as if he didn't care about Zhu Zhanyan's arrangement for himself.

But in fact, this is how an official should behave.

Being overly happy can give the impression that you are dissatisfied with your previous position.

Being too anxious will give people the impression that you are greedy for power.

"That's right." Looking at Xia Yuanji's reaction, Zhu Zhanyan suddenly thought of something.

"When I was in Europe, I left some interesting-looking trophies, and I also picked out a little for you, and I asked Zhu Ling to send them to your house when I went back."

"No need to refuse." Seeing that Xia Yuanji wanted to speak, Zhu Zhanyan took a step ahead to block his mouth.

"It's all some gold and silverware, I just think it's novel, after all, there aren't many of these things in our Central Plains, so I left a little bit."

"For you, first, because you have worked hard for Daming for so many years, it can be said that you have worked hard, but Daming has always given you such a meager salary."

"It's a rule, I'm not good at breaking it, but the reward is still okay."

"If you like it, you can keep it, if you don't like it, you can sell it for two dollars and subsidize the family."

"But remember, don't leave pigtails for others."

Gold and silverware, the Central Plains is not nothing, not only have, but also a lot, at the same time, the technology of gold and silverware is much higher than that of Europe, but the same gold and silverware, the two are also different.

Relatively speaking, the gold and silver ware of the Central Plains is reflected in many aspects, such as daily necessities, ornaments, funeral goods, etc., but more are still used for decoration.

Everything from trinkets on clothing to chariots and horses is much simpler, while in Europe it is much simpler.

Tableware and ornaments are mainly of these two.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Seeing Zhu Zhanji's resolute attitude, Xia Yuanji did not object.

The reward is Zhu Zhanji's business, but how to use it, that is Xia Yuanji's business.

He can use it himself, or he can sell it to pay it back, and he can even give the money from the sale to others, and don't enter this martyr's building.

"Alright, almost, let's eat."

Zhu Zhanyan raised his head and looked at Zhu Ping's long-disappeared shadow at the door, and said loudly.

He knew that he should have served the food a long time ago, but because he and Xia Yuanji were talking about the affairs of the court, Zhu Ping stopped the people from Yinglielou.

……

The sun is in the sky.

Going out to eat with Xia Yuanji was actually Zhu Zhanyan's sudden decision.

He didn't remember when Xia Yuanji died in history, but he knew that it must have been before Zhu Qizhen went to study in Wara, because he was sure that Xia Yuanji did not die in Tumubao, and there was no trace of his existence in the later defense of Beiping.

Therefore, he made a temporary decision and asked Xia Yuanji to accompany him out for a walk.

Thinking of this, Zhu Zhanyan laughed at himself.

In the past, what he didn't like the most was that a person linked everything, even thoughts, to politics, but now he has become such a person.

He did think of Xia Yuanji's physical problems at the first time, but then, he thought about who would take over the position of the head of the household if Xia Yuanji had something to do.

"Ahem...... Eldest brother. ”

Zhu Zhanyan was thinking about it, when a cough sounded, making Zhu Zhanyan turn his head to look at the door.

"Come in." Zhu Zhan Yan beckoned to his younger brother Zhu Zhantan.

"Forget it......" Zhu Zhantan shook his head, followed by a violent cough.

Even though he could already suppress it, the voice was loud.

"If you are not in good health, you won't go in, it's unlucky, and it's easy to wake up Qi Ming."

Zhu Zhanyan paused, hesitated, but still walked out.

He didn't really care about any unlucky claims, but it was really unnecessary to wake up the child, because after becoming a father, he knew how difficult it was to coax the child who was woken up.

Especially when the child is not pulling, peeing and not hungry, being woken up is the hardest to coax.

"All ready?" Out of the door, the Zhu Zhan Yan brothers stood at the door, bathing in the winter sun.

Speaking of which, the summer sun only makes people feel hot, even in early summer, when the temperature is low, the sun does not give people a warm feeling, but only the winter sun does make people feel warm.

However, the topic that the brothers talked about had nothing to do with the warm sun in this winter, and even the opposite was altogether.

"It's all set." Zhu Zhantan nodded.

"Except for the personnel necessary to maintain daily tasks, all the brocade guards are ready, and Sehazhi is very obedient, which is good."

"Well, that's good." Zhu Zhanyan nodded.

"I have already asked Zhou Xin to inform him, and let him accompany you when the time comes, this person is not a capable minister in the political world, but he is quite good in the trial of the case."

"Moreover, this person is upright, which I experienced back then."

"There's a little bit of ......, though"

As he spoke, Zhu Zhanyan turned his head and looked at his younger brother very seriously.

"Are you sure you want to go?"

"Sure, why not sure?" Zhu Zhantan smiled and asked his brother calmly.

"Actually, if I wanted it, I could still get a lot, but it wasn't necessary."

"My body, big brother, you also know, I can live until now, first, my life is hard, and second, relying on the convenience of my family, I can have a lot of precious medicinal materials to help me hang."

"Dad, mother, eldest brother, you, as well as the second brother and Zhan Yao, have never thought of giving up on me, but everyone has their own lives, and it is not something that can be changed by manpower."

"Now that we know the final result, it's better to use it the other way around, at least I'm not exactly the Zhu Zhantan who can only hold everyone back."

After speaking, Zhu Zhantan smiled slightly, bowed slightly, and untied a token from his eldest brother's waist.

"This, brother, I took it with me."

Zhu Zhantan smiled, shook the token in his hand, and walked outside.

Zhu Zhanyan stood on the steps, watching his younger brother face the warm winter sun, but walked towards the dark and cold abyss.

……

It's night.

The palace is always brightly lit, even if it is dark at night, even if everyone who can sleep is asleep, there are still most places with lights on.

Zhu Zhanyan sat in the study, and there were a bunch of open folds stacked on the bookcase in front of him, but he had no intention of reading them, the brush in his hand, the ink on the tip of the pen had already dripped off, and the folds in front of him were messy.

Smack.

The candle flame in the lamp didn't know what it burned, and it made a shallow sound, but it woke Zhu Zhanyan up.

Looking at the brush in his hand and feeling the stiff right hand, Zhu Zhanyan sighed softly and put the brush back on the pen holder.

In fact, there was a question that Zhu Zhanyan had never thought about before, but today, he suddenly woke up.

Back then, the old man used him as an outcast.

Before, Zhu Zhanyan never found out, but he felt that his personality and reputation had been established, and the old man seemed to have obtained a treasure knife, so he liked to let himself do those dirty things so much.

But now, he is in the old man's point of view, and his younger brother is in his point of view back then, and he realizes that things are not at all what he thought.

What did Zhu Zhantan do?

In fact, it is very simple, it is nothing more than that in the past two years, the imperial court has been operating with an attitude of steady development in the Central Plains, plus there are Wusi Zangdu Division and Ah San as a source of soldiers, and there is the existence of new grain, so the Central Plains is peaceful.

However, a peaceful and calm atmosphere is good for recuperation, but it is a fertile ground for corrupt officials.

Zhu Zhanyan has been fighting abroad all these years, and the time for King Wu to take over Shuntian and Daming has not been long, and corrupt officials have been cleaning up with conventional methods and attitudes, and it has long been time to clean up a wave.

Moreover, in order to fight against King Wu's lineage, Emperor Xuande did those disgraceful things were not limited to uniting Wara to attack Zhu Zhanyan.

This cleaning is not only to clean up corrupt officials and corrupt officials, but also to clean up the former ministers of the court.

As for why Zhu Zhantan was allowed to go......

The reason is very simple, this is not a good thing, when the time comes, the executor of the plan will definitely attract the most hatred, and Zhu Zhantan's health is getting worse and worse, so he naturally becomes this abandoned son who is thrown away after using it once.

Actually, Zhu Zhanyan originally wanted the current commander of Jinyiwei to outsmart Saiha to do this, firstly because Jinyiwei was originally the one who did these dirty jobs, and secondly, this is also the fate of every generation of Jinyiwei commanders.

Previously, Mao Xiang, Jiang Zheng, Ji Gang and others were all such a process and such a result.

However, this time Zhu Zhantan must go, and he will do it himself.

King Wu is in the same vein, Zhu Gaoxu and Princess Wu, as parents, have persuaded Zhu Zhan Yan, Zhu Zhan Yan has also persuaded Zhu Zhan Yan before he came back, and now Zhu Zhan Yan has also persuaded him, but they have not been able to change Zhu Zhantan's determination.

It was only at this time that Zhu Zhanyan suddenly found out......

It turned out that the old man thought the same way at the beginning.

A grandson who was decisive in killing, dared to slaughter prisoners and civilians in the face of the world's condemnation, and even built a Jingguan, was a fairly easy and sharp knife.

And most importantly, this grandson is not yet an orthodox heir.

This situation is simply perfect, let this sharpest knife open the way in front, cut through the thorns and thorns for the "good saint grandson" he has set for himself, and finally bear all the hatred and infamy, and take it all away with his disappearance.

People who play politics really have dirty hearts......

Thinking of this, Zhu Zhan sighed.

At the beginning, he still laughed at his father, laughed at him for being used as a gun by the old man and didn't know it, and even was willing to eat it, now look at it, why is he not like this?

It's just that I was also in the game at the beginning.

The authorities are fascinated, and he doesn't see it clearly, just like his father who has always laughed at him.

"His Royal Highness."

Just as Zhu Zhanyan sighed, a gentle voice sounded, making Zhu Zhanyan look up.

"Are there so many excerpts?"

"No approval." Zhu Zhanyan shook his head, gave Zhu Ping behind him a look, and then took Hu Shanshu and left.

"Rest."

……

The next day, early in the morning.

As usual, getting up early, washing, and eating, Zhu Zhanyan's life is not the slightest different, it seems that the questions he thought about last night have passed away with the departure of the night, and they have not even left half an impact on his mind.

But in fact, whether it has any impact or not, only Zhu Zhanyan himself knows.

After breakfast, Zhu Zhanyan first teased the child, and then plunged into the study.

A moment later, Zhu Zhanyan held two volumes of holy decrees in his hand and walked towards the outside of Renshou Palace.

The holy decree was left aside in the past, but in the Orthodox Unification Dynasty, in fact, it was more drafted by the cabinet and the six ministries, submitted to the Empress Dowager Zhang for sealing, and then handed over to the Ministry of Rites, who sent people to implement and read the holy decree.

However, the two decrees drafted by Zhu Zhanyan are not the same, because they involve a person who has been very low-key recently, but very important.

and, a person who has been in the limelight lately and no one dares to mess with.

……

In the Heart Cultivation Palace, Zhang looked at Zhu Zhanyan who was sitting upright, and then looked at the two holy decrees in front of him, and the emotions contained in his eyes were very complicated.

Of these two holy decrees, the first holy decree was to remove Zhang Fuzhong from the post of Governor of the Military Governor of the Left Governor, but to add the title of Taishi.

Give a stick and then a sweet date? Not really, because the two are not comparable.

The Governor's Mansion of the Chinese Army has two governors, but since the first year of Hongxi, the post of the right governor has been idle all year round, and almost everything is managed by Zhang Fu, the governor of the left.

Especially after entering the Orthodox years.

The Governor's Mansion of the Chinese Army, in charge of the eighteen guards and twenty-five thousand households in the Ming Dynasty, is a real position of real power, but the Taishi, one of the three princes in history, is actually a false position in the Ming Dynasty.

The addition of the title of Taishi is actually to consolidate and confirm Zhang Fu's identity as Emperor Xuande's minister, and it is not difficult to see from this point that the removal of the post of Zuo Du Governor of the Military Capital is actually to let him concentrate on teaching the young emperor.

However, this is nothing, even if Zhang Fu is dismissed from the position of Zuo Du Governor of the Chinese Military Governor's Mansion, it is nothing, the problem is the second holy decree that Zhu Zhan Yan took out.

Li Bin was appointed as the new Governor of the Central Military Governor's Office.

Zhang understands very well that this is Zhu Zhanyan making trouble and forcing her to express her position.

She didn't understand why Zhu Zhanyan, who had never been in a hurry before, was so sharp now, and so directly drew the way to force her to stamp these two holy decrees.

You must know that no matter what happened in the past, it would be sent to her, the empress dowager, in the end, which was the agreement of the year, and it was a condition for Emperor Xuande to die calmly.

However, now Zhu Zhanyan came in person, and he drafted the holy decree in person, which seemed to tell Zhang: You have to cover this chapter, and you have to cover it if you don't cover it.

Zhang didn't understand what happened to make Zhu Zhanyan have such earth-shaking changes.

Is it just because he has a queen? So start planning ahead for your son?
