Wealth, violence, discourse.

This is not the essence of power, but the basic composition of power, these three things can be extended infinitely, with countless permutations, and countless combinations of interests.

These three things are only a general summary, and the reality is far more complicated than that.

In today's Ming Dynasty, poverty is the true color, but what is poor is the treasury, the internal treasury, and the emperor.

The gentry, who had the right to speak, held a great deal of wealth.

What is a gentry: a gentleman, a squire. This includes a huge bureaucracy.

After the Tumubao Change, the Ming Dynasty lost a large number of military attachés and nobles, Yu Qian was in charge of the overall situation, commanded the Beijing camp, and served as the governor of the military department Shangshu Jingying Rongzheng, which created a model for the Ming Dynasty to command the army.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the military power from top to bottom was under the command of the Governor's Office of the Five Armies, and the Governor's Office of the Five Armies was under the direct jurisdiction of the imperial power, and the military department was just an ornament.

But now, the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies? That's a piece of.

Without the documents of the Ministry of War, the Governor's Office of the Five Armies can transfer a soldier to count him as a cow.

In this case, the emperor can still have decision-making power in state affairs and military affairs, which can only be attributed to the perfection of the system, and the Ming Dynasty is really a dynasty with a high concentration of imperial power.

But the emperor does not really have this so-called decision-making power, and the emperor has to consult with the courtiers whenever something happens.

It does not involve the selfish interests of the courtiers, and does not touch the selfishness of the courtiers, everyone worries about the country and the people together, and shouts a few words for the world and all sentient beings.

At this moment, the emperor has a heavenly constitution in his mouth, and God is holy. But if it comes to those selfishness, selfish interests, fuck your emperor.

Then the emperor and the courtiers will start to play, each by their own means, to see who has more eyes, or you compromise, or I give in.

In the matter of playing with the eyes of the heart, the Taoist master behind is definitely the best among them.

And Zhu Houzhao is a heartless eye at all, and he is not worthy of lifting shoes for his cousin in terms of power. I only know how to be in charge of the army, use the power of the army to oppress people, and it is not too much to be played to death later.

That's it, he still wants fame.

Wash and sleep.

"If Your Highness really wants fame, then Your Highness must make sure that the entire house is yours."

"House? What house? ”

Zhu Houzhao showed that kind of stupid expression on his face, he really looked like a mentally retarded, Xia Yuan raised his eyebrows and looked at him, and vaguely saw the words flashing above his head, IQ minus ten, IQ minus ten

After a long time, Zhu Houzhao asked, "Does the house also represent something?" ”

It's okay, the IQ hasn't been reduced below the passing line, and there are still saves.

"What do you think it represents?"

"The Imperial Court?"

Well, that's a drop below the passing mark.

"The imperial court is nothing but a few palaces, a few yamen, and the houses are the people and the hearts of the people."

Kunning Palace.

Empress Zhang pursed her lips and said nothing, and Emperor Hongzhi sat on the side and was silent, and after a while, he spoke: "If Shujun thinks it's inappropriate, say it." ”

"Since Your Majesty has already considered it, how dare the concubine feel inappropriate?"

“.”

After being silent for a while, Zhu Youzhu spoke up: "I know that Shujun has complaints, but I am also thinking about the overall situation. ”

"For the sake of the overall situation, who can't be wronged? Besides, it's just an adopted daughter, and she should be wronged, who made her adoptive father an emperor, thinking about the overall situation all day long. ”

Talking about the words adopted daughter and adoptive father, Queen Zhang bit the sound very hard, and her eyes were even more resentful.

After a little silence, Zhu Youzhu said: "You don't understand the affairs of the court. ”

"The concubine is a foolish woman in the countryside, and she doesn't know anything, but the concubine knows how to love her children."

“.”

was scolded several times in a row, and Emperor Hongzhi was silent again, but Empress Zhang chattered, "The concubines don't believe it, the will is issued, and the ministers below can still argue and disagree." The concubine doesn't believe it, who is so heartless and dares to disturb the affairs of my Zhu family!

At the end of the day, it's our family affair!

Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven with a Heavenly Constitution in his mouth, if he says a word, who dares to disobey? Your Majesty said that it was a daughter, that was a daughter, who would dare to argue with Your Majesty, but Your Majesty wanted to recognize an adopted daughter"

"She said she was an adopted daughter, but in fact, she was the same as her own daughter, just for the bottom."

"Where is the same!" Empress Zhang immediately pushed back again, her voice was particularly angry, "Your Majesty is such a daughter, and the concubine is such a daughter, how can the status of a daughter and an adopted daughter be the same?" ”

After being scolded like this, Emperor Hongzhi knew that he was at a loss, and he didn't have a temper for a while, and after a while, he said in a deep voice: "Prince."

As soon as the two words of the prince came out, Queen Zhang's eyes were horizontal, "Your Majesty is now wronged even Zhao'er for the sake of the overall situation?" ”

"That's not what I mean, but one day, I will drive away, and the crown prince will ascend the throne, and I will definitely not be able to suppress these ministers."

Speaking of this, a little sadness appeared on Zhu Youzhang's face, today's prince listened to the government for the first time, and he was very disappointed.

The heart is impetuous, the mood is full of color, not only has no scheming, but also a lack of heart, and there is no trace of human monarchy.

When he ascends to the throne in the future, he will not be allowed to let those ministers play with applause, I am afraid that he will not even be able to take power, so he can only let others lead him by the nose.

"Why can't you hold it down? When Zhao'er becomes the emperor, can the courtiers still turn against the sky? ”

Hearing this, Zhu Youzhu was even more worried, the queen was obviously lacking in heart, and she didn't understand anything about the court. In the future, Zhao'er ascended the throne, and as the queen mother, she couldn't help, so now the mother and son were playing with the applause.

When Emperor Hongzhi thought of this, he had the urge to create another trumpet and have a second child.

sighed faintly in my heart, fortunately, I still have a son-in-law.

Scheming, knowing the interests and disadvantages, knowing the gains and losses, knowing the advance and retreat.

Although he was born in the imperial examination, although he was a civil minister, he jumped out of the fence of the intricate Enfu and the teacher, and the relationship with the prince was also a teacher and a friend, and he was inexorably intertwined, and today he stood on the opposite side of those courtiers.

Like the prince, who lacks heart, can only let this son-in-law help assist in the court.

And if you want to leave your son-in-law in the court, you can only wronged your daughter.

"Zhao'er needs someone to assist in the future, otherwise I am afraid that it will be difficult to speak alone, Xia Yuan is my son-in-law, and the relationship with the prince is irreversible, with him to assist the prince, I can rest assured, Shujun can also rest assured.

But if the will of the daughter is issued, according to the regulations, it will inevitably be given a knight and a horse, and then Xia Yuan can only withdraw from the court and become an idle horse without official or position. ”

"When Zhao'er ascends to the throne in the future, there will be no one to assist him, and he will be constrained. Don't say Zhao'er, even I often compromise with the ministers in state affairs, and sometimes I have lost a lot of temper when I return to the palace, and this Shujun also knows it. ”

Seeing that Empress Zhang seemed to be a little moved, Zhu Youzhu continued: "What's more, although she is an adopted daughter, she is given the surname Zhu, which is no different from her own daughter. ”

"What about the princess's title?"

Emperor Hongzhi was speechless for a while, and finally squirmed his lips a few times, and said: "If you talk about adopted daughters, I'm afraid it won't be reasonable to give the princess a title, and I will be a county lord."

"I don't say yes!"

Hearing the word county lord, Empress Zhang exploded immediately, and felt a burst of grievances in her heart, and tears welled up in her eyes, "Why should my daughter be an adopted daughter, and what county lord should I be, I don't agree!" ”

"Although he is the lord of the county, he can enjoy the gift of a princess. What's more, both Shujun and I know that Xiurong does not have the name of a princess, but she is a princess. ”

"I don't agree." Empress Zhang bit it to death and disagreed, "It's okay to adopt a daughter, but I don't even want to give the title of a princess, Your Majesty has such a ruthless heart, but the concubine doesn't!" ”
