Zhu Jianqi's mind is changing, but his acting skills are good.

"A son who is disrespectful in serving his father is a son who is unfilial; The son disposes of the government for his father, and if he does not handle it properly, the son is not virtuous; As the eldest son, the son does not care enough for his younger brothers and sisters, and it is the son who is disrespectful. ”

"The son knows that his talent is not as good as the fourth, his talent is not as good as the nineteenth, his military is not as good as the twenty-fourth, the thirty-first, and there are many princes who are better than his son."

"Ask my father to depose my son as the crown prince!"

"Ask for your father's forgiveness!"

Zhu Jianqi retreats as advances.

"You're having a fight with me?" Zhu Qiyu's brain circuit, Zhu Jianqi can't keep up.

Playing tricks with the old emperor, the prince is still too tender.

"My son didn't dare to pick on his son, but his dissatisfaction was real."

Zhu Jianqi was also just now, pointing to his hair: "Dad, look at your son's hair is white, whiter than yours!" ”

"My son has been dealing with the government for all these years, and he has been the prince for twenty-eight years, and he is the vice emperor after he is in power!"

"You are willing to give power to your son, my son is very happy, but my son is also a human being, my son is really tired, Dad, my son is tired."

"My son is forty-four years old this year, Dad, my son is a grandfather, and my son is really tired."

Zhu Jianqi sat on the ground and cried bitterly.

Zhu Qiyu glanced at the prince, the prince had a beard, gray hair, and his eyes were not good, and he was carrying reading glasses with him.

He slowly stood up, squatted on the ground, and gently stroked his son's face: "Dad knows, you are tired, you are bitter." ”

"But do you know the difficulty of the ancestors to start a business and the difficulty of creating a prosperous world?"

"Someone wants to ruin my prosperous world, can you agree?"

Zhu Qiyu's words changed: "Indeed, you are not as talented as your younger brothers, but you are the eldest son, and I have made you the crown prince, and I have never wavered." ”

"If even you lie to me, who else can I trust in this world?"

"Tell me, what are you hiding from me?" Zhu Qiyu gently touched his face.

His voice was very soft, but it made Zhu Jianqi extremely frightened.

It was fake tears before, but this time it's real tears.

His father's hand had just touched that dead man's face! Touch him again!

Could it be that the next head to be admired will be him?

Zhu Jianqi has been in power for more than ten years, and he has a little bit of enthusiasm for people's hearts, and he has been thinking in his heart, why is the emperor so angry, and he can guess a little at this moment.

"Dad, my son does have something to hide from you!"

Zhu Jianqi burst into tears: "But I didn't mean to hide it from you, but I didn't want you to be upset about it, it was for the sake of your body!" ”

"Say!" Zhu Qiyu was very close to him.

Zhu Jianqi immediately said: "Corruption." ”

"Up and down the government and the opposition, everyone is greedy!"

"Real estate, railways, and even the insurance that is being implemented are in the pockets of officials!"

"Daming's finances look glamorous!"

"Actually, there is no money!"

I don't dare to say that there is not a penny in the treasury, but it is certainly not as much as in the account, as long as you check it, it is estimated that nothing will be found.

Zhu Qiyu slowly stood up and walked back to the throne: "When did you know?" ”

"Forty-seven years of Jingtai!" Zhu Jianqi breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he had passed the pass.

"After hiding from me for five years, you are really my good son."

Zhu Qiyu was laughing: "I thought that if I trained you with my own hands, you would not be deceived by the government and the opposition, and you would be able to be an understanding emperor." ”

"The result is that I overestimated you, your brain is full of, you were born to be, this kind of stupid and stubborn thing, you can't teach it."

Zhu Jianqi was like being struck by lightning.

"My more than 40 years of hard work have been in vain." Zhu Qiyu was disappointed.

As a crown prince.

I don't even understand where the ass is, such a person should be an emperor and a puppet!

"Daddy......" Zhu Jianqi was even more frightened.

"I don't have a stupid son like you."

Zhu Qiyu looked at Wang Zhi: "You also know?" ”

Poof!

Wang Zhi knelt on the ground: "The slave heard some rumors, but I don't know what the specific situation is!" Ask the emperor to spare his life! ”

"Heh, what a problem for me, I think I'm too old to lift a knife?"

Zhu Qiyu squinted his eyes: "Go and bring Guo Deng." ”

Zhu Jianqi immediately thought of what his father was going to do, and immediately crawled over, and said urgently: "Dad, these forces are mixed together, up and down, Xungui also has a share, you, if you come hard, my son is worried about you......"

Zhu Jianqi didn't dare to continue.

"Worried about the change in Taicheng Palace?"

Zhu Qiyu sneered: "I said you were stupid, you were stupid!" I am not Emperor Wu of Liang, and no one can be Hou Jing! ”

"This is Da Ming, my Da Ming!"

Zhu Jianqi felt that the emperor underestimated the power of the DPRK and China.

You have not been in the court for more than ten years, and the forces of the government and the opposition have grown savagely, and now you can't even control the Jinyi Guard, can you guarantee that the Beijing camp is completely obedient to you?

Wang went straight to Xuanguo Deng.

Guo Deng is not in Beijing, but in the Jingying station, it takes two hours to take the train back and forth to enter the palace.

For so long, the news must have been flying all over the sky.

Wang Zhi is not Feng Xiao, all of Feng Xiao's interests are tied to the emperor, so Feng Xiao is extremely loyal.

Wang Zhi knew that the old emperor would not live for a few years, and he had to prepare for his future, so he had been in constant contact with the officials of the previous dynasty over the years, even after the emperor died, he still enjoyed power and wealth.

Therefore, when Wang Zhi passed the decree, the news spread outside the palace.

But when he returned to the palace, he was secretly arrested by a group of people, and then dragged into the Yangxin Palace, and then all the palace doors of the Qianqing Palace and the Yangxin Palace were closed.

At the same time, the entire harem palace gate was closed.

"Emperor, Emperor?" Wang Zhi came out of the sack and saw the old emperor playing with the teacup.

He has served by the emperor's side for more than 30 years, and he has served him personally for more than ten years, and he has no idea where this force comes from?

Seeing that they are quick and sharp, they are veterans in this area, and it is not the first time they have done it.

"Eunuch Wang, you can let me underestimate it." Zhu Qiyu seemed to be smiling.

Originally, this matter can be big or small.

Zhu Qiyu originally wanted everyone to make up for the greedy silver, and this matter was over.

But his personal eunuch actually had contact with the outside of the palace, and such an important joint actually reported to the outside of the palace, which is a big problem.

"Emperor, emperor, slave, slave maid......" Wang Zhi's upper and lower teeth trembled.

"I really didn't expect to raise a white-eyed wolf."

Zhu Qiyu put down the cup: "Ruan Jidao, who did he send a letter to?" ”

A man who had been keeping his head down knelt on the ground: "Back to Your Majesty, he sent a message to two families, one is Shoufu Zhu Ying, and the other is Xiangzhong, the head of the household." ”

Zhu Jianqi was also frightened, he had never seen this Ruan Jidao, who were they?

Also, when did Wang Zhi get in touch with Zhu Ying and Xiang Zhong?

A first assistant, a household secretary, and the emperor's personal eunuch are in close contact, what are they going to do?

The point is, his father's eyes are playful, did he already know?

"Let those two dog things roll over." Zhu Qiyu's tone was casual.

This made Zhu Jianqi even more uncertain, what hole cards does the emperor have?

At this time, Guo Deng had already entered the noon gate.

Wang Zhi begged for mercy, but Ruan Jidao covered his mouth and smashed his head with a dust whisk to shut him up.

Wang Zhi didn't expect that he would be smashed by someone, and it was estimated that he would die even worse.

The entire Heart Cultivation Hall was quiet.

Guo Deng had already asked to see him at the door, and as the eunuch came in, the eighty-year-old Guo Deng was actually training in Beijing.

Recently, the demand for soldiers in the foreign domain has been too great, and he can only sit in the town in person and watch the training of soldiers.

"Chen Guo Deng, please bow to the saint!" After Guo Deng entered the hall, he felt that the atmosphere was strangely dull.

"I'm restless."

Zhu Qiyu slowly raised his eyelids: "Someone wants to rebel, Guo Deng, will you participate?" ”

Guo Deng's urine was almost frightened: "Your Majesty, the old minister has a heart for Your Majesty, even if you take the life of the old minister, the old minister will not dare to rebel!" ”

The prince of Guozhong, who sits in Beijing, is not the only one who Guo Deng.

There are also Fan Guang, Mu Cong, Zhu Yi, Yang Xin, and Fang Ying, who lingers on the sickbed, there are more outside Beijing, not to mention the prince, how many sons does the emperor have? All of them are foreign vassals, the soldiers are strong and strong, if something happens to the emperor, see if they are diligent and the king will be finished.

"You have 300,000 yuan in the Beijing camp, you may not have this thought, what if the yellow robe is added?" Zhu Qiyu asked.

"Your Majesty, don't you play with the old minister? The old minister's family has been loyal for generations, why should they rebel? "Guo Deng really didn't have that in mind.

"What the prince said, I'm old and can't kill anyone."

Zhu Qiyu was laughing: "The hearts of those who say that the noble ones are not here with me, but with the civil officials, Guo Deng, what do you say?" ”

At the mention of civil officials, Guo Deng immediately thought of something.

Guo Deng immediately said: "Your Majesty, the old minister will always stand by your side, my Guo family, since the ancestor Guo Ying, has been loyal and good for generations, serving seven generations of monarchs, and there is no trace of rebellion." ”

"What about the 300,000 camps?"

"Hit wherever you point!" Guo Deng kowtowed.

"What if someone is disobedient? Or is it that I want to purge the army? Zhu Qiyu was blunt.

Guo Deng trembled in his heart: "Your Majesty, the Nine Gate Admiral's Mansion, the Praetorian Guard, the Horse Army, etc., the actual military strength in the army is 270,000. ”

"There are nearly 240,000 Tianjin sailors, and 30,000 troops from Henan, Shanxi, Rehe, Liaoning, and Shandong are on standby at any time, and they can all enter Beijing within one day."

"As long as the holy decree is transmitted, the border army will respond immediately, and the nearest border troops in Jilin, Heilongjiang, and the Western Regions will total 540,000, and they can reach the Beijing division within three days!"

"There are also the Nanjing Zhenshu Army, the Central Capital Left-behind Division, and the Shanghai Water Division, a total of 500,000, all of which can arrive in Beijing within three days!"

"More than ever!"

"Under Wang Yue's command, there are 700,000 soldiers stationed in India, all of whom are soldiers of a hundred battles, and they can arrive in Beijing within a month by sea."

"Li Jin, the governor of the Aral Sea, has 240,000 iron cavalry under his command, and he can still recruit a large army from the vassal state, and there is no problem in gathering 500,000 cavalry in a short time, and he can return to Beijing along the Zhonghua River in no more than a month!"

"Your Majesty issued a holy decree, and all the vassal countries can make up 2 million soldiers to defend Your Majesty!"

"No one dares to rebel against His Majesty!"

"Whoever Your Majesty wants to cleanse, the old minister will purge for Your Majesty!"

Guo Deng knelt on the ground: "The veterans of a hundred battles in Beijing, there are still Fan Guang, Yang Xin, Zhu Yi, Zhu Yong, Tao Jin, Xu Tai and other leading generals, and there are also hundreds of leading generals, and among the martial arts, more than 10,000 grassroots generals can be recruited at any time, and the population of the Beijing division is as high as 12 million, and 1.2 million troops can be recruited at any time. ”

"There are 56 city gates in the capital division, and Your Majesty has issued a holy decree to Yang Xin, and Yang Xin can close all the city gates within two hours!"

"Your Majesty said that there are harmful sheep in the army, but the old minister can guarantee that there are more than 200,000 people in the Beijing camp, and they are sincerely loyal to Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty has a holy decree, you can do it when it's dark!"

Guo Deng fell to his knees.

"Do you hear that? Prince? Zhu Qiyu looked at Zhu Jianqi.

Zhu Jianqi really didn't expect that the old emperor didn't seem to be in charge of the government, but in fact, he had a firm control over the army, and he could recruit a large army no matter when.

However, this is just Guo Deng's words.

The court was seriously corrupt, and he didn't believe that there was no one in the army.

"Tell him why Jingying is loyal to me!" Zhu Qiyu felt that the prince was hopeless.

"Back to Your Majesty, back to His Royal Highness the Prince."

Guo Deng replied: "The Beijing camp and the border army and the new army replace each other, and the border army and martial arts students are the basis, and the new recruits are added to the army. ”

"The Beijing battalion can be mobilized at any time, and all transfers are in the hands of the military aircraft department."

"Only His Majesty can be transferred, so many transfers are not known to the government and the opposition, and the army is also secret."

"Therefore, in the Beijing camp, who is in charge of the army and who the members of the army are, except for the Military Aircraft Department, no one knows, even the Minister of Military Aircraft, what he knows is the movement of an army."

"The sources in the army are mixed, the soldiers come from all over the world, and they are randomly formed, they may not know who the leading general is, but they definitely know the emperor."

"Even if someone instigates a rebellion, few people respond."

Guo Deng explained.

Zhu Jianqi understood that he had been in power for more than ten years, but he couldn't understand the operation of the Military Aircraft Department.

That's right, the Military Aircraft Department is in the hands of the emperor, the crown prince cannot enter the Military Aircraft Department, and the Minister of Military Aircraft is a nobleman.

Even if Xungui was bribed by civilian officials, there were only a few people who were bought, and no one knew all about the movement of the entire army except the emperor himself.

That's why the emperor said that no one could rebel against him.

As for Xungui's loyalty, don't worry, Xungui is a family, it is a huge family, and everyone lives in Jingshi.

As long as one person rebels, the nine clans will all die, which means that without waiting for the emperor to arrest him, the people of their own family will tie him up to the emperor.

"Another point, since the twelfth year of Jingtai, it has been an iron law that Han'er is not a slave, and each family is not allowed to raise a family, and some only have Yi slaves, and Yi slaves are not allowed to participate in the war, so Yi slaves have no chance to go to the battlefield to experience, even if someone deliberately rebels and raises 10,000 Yi slaves, it will not become a climate."

Guo Deng taught the prince to be obedient again.

The Ming Dynasty has a servant army, but it does not use domestic slaves, but uses the people in the war zone as servant troops, so the slaves in the territory have no chance to contact weapons.

In recent years, the way of fighting has changed, muskets have to be used, and the Ordnance Bureau and the Weapons Storage Bureau are in the hands of the emperor.

This is also the reason why Guo Deng was almost scared to pee when he was asked by the emperor.

Without the emperor's decree, Guo Deng couldn't move a single soldier, especially when the railway was opened, and the palace was forty minutes away from the barracks, so the suppression of the rebellion was extremely fast.

Even if someone occupies the arsenal, it is useless.

Because iron, nitrate and other materials are supplied for a limited time, and they can only be produced if they have a strip from the military department and a large seal from the military aircraft department, even if they get some weapons, they still can't get off without enough bullets.

Places like the ordnance factory are held hostage by multiple departments, and the palace, the army, and the court are all involved in each other, and they are holding each other hostage, unless the emperor makes a holy decree, all the formalities can be crossed, otherwise they all have to go through the process.

Zhu Jianqi didn't stand up, and kowtowed vigorously: "Erchen knows that he is stupid, please punish his father." ”

Zhu Qiyu was very disappointed in him.

But he was even more disappointed with the court.

At this time, Zhu Ying and Xiang Zhong entered the palace, they did not wear official robes, and they came in with a cloak, and they couldn't kneel at the door.

"It's a good first assistant who can endure me."

Zhu Qiyu ordered them to come in: "Hu Weiyong rebelled back then, because he was the prime minister and could rebel, you are just a six-grade sesame official, and you also want to be the emperor?" ”

"The old minister has no such intentions!" Zhu Ying wept bitterly.

"Then what are you doing so deeply with my eunuchs? Are you in control of my movements and want to kill me? ”

Zhu Qiyu suddenly said: "Oh, it's me who has lived too long and blocked your Zhu Ying's way." ”

"You are also surnamed Zhu, and you want to ascend the throne?"

Zhu Ying is very greedy for power, he knew from the time he supervised Shandong, and he won great merit in supervising Shandong and Jiaozhi, and after returning to Beijing, he looked down on this and that, and finally boiled the previous ministers to death and survived to the position of the first assistant.

He began to monopolize power, wanting everything and wanting everything.

And Wang Zhi wanted to find a way back, so he hit it off with Zhu Ying, and the two of them were embarrassed, one was in charge of the government, and the other was the minister in the palace, and they cooperated seamlessly.

"Or you rebel." Zhu Qiyu said.

Zhu Ying kowtowed vigorously: "The old minister's loyalty to His Majesty can be seen by the sun and the moon, please give your Majesty the death of the old minister, and the old minister is bent on death!" ”

"Oh, you don't want to bear the infamy, let me carry it?"

Zhu Qiyu sneered: "Why do you think it's so cheap? Isn't it, Xiang Zhong? ”

"The old minister is guilty, the old minister is guilty!" Xiang Zhong kept kowtowing.

"You tried me at the beginning, and wanted to go back to Borneo to claim the king, this time I will give you a chance, come, sit here, sit!"

Zhu Qiyu stood up and pointed to the throne.

Xiang Zhong trembled all over his body and kept crying.

"The crown prince told me that you will enter the palace, starve me to death, and let me be Emperor Wu of Liang of the Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Qiyu smiled: "Zhu Ying, Xiang Zhong, you two tell the prince, can you?" ”

"The old minister is by no means Hou Jing, the old minister's loyalty to His Majesty has never changed!" Zhu Ying cried.

Zhu Jianqi was a little stupid.

In his impression, Zhu Ying leans towards the government and the opposition, in recent years, like Wang Hong and Wang Fu have gradually died of illness, Zhu Ying has the oldest qualifications and the greatest credit, which can be said to be the power of the government and the opposition, and no one cares about it.

He always thought that his father couldn't control Zhu Ying, but he didn't expect that it was his father who indulged Zhu Ying, not because he couldn't control it, but because he didn't want to take care of it.

He found that he had underestimated his father.

This old man was able to inherit the heir to the throne at the critical juncture after the change of Tumubao, and escaped the change of seizing the door, and created an unprecedented prosperous era of the Ming Dynasty by himself, which is really something.

"The loyalty in your mouth makes me feel disgusted."

Zhu Qiyu sat down: "I especially remember that when Jingtai was eight years old, it was I who promoted you exceptionally, and it was also me who overrode public opinion and asked you to supervise Shandong. ”

"It's also me, give you the greatest authority, let you plow Shandong, and support you."

"Later, after recovering Jiaozhi, you went to supervise Jiaozhi again, and you can do whatever you want, and I have never complained about you."

"You do have the ability, and you can satisfy me wherever you do."

"After you returned to the court, life was not very smooth."

"I do have selfish intentions, and those old ministers have made great contributions to me, so I want them to be extremely human."

"So, you've waited many years to become the first assistant."

"One person is below ten thousand people."

"I know what you've done, but I haven't said anything about you, because I feel indebted to you, and with your ability, it's more appropriate to sit in the position of first assistant."

Zhu Qiyu muttered to himself: "But after all, you have failed me." ”

Zhu Ying couldn't cry.

"Xiang Zhong, don't cry."

"You too, I brought it up with one hand, it was I who put you in charge of the soldiers, let you take charge of the water division."

"I originally wanted you to be a nobleman, but if you didn't want to, I would let you go back to the center, and after Geng Jiuchou died, I would let you be the head of the household, and it would be nearly twenty years."

"I feel that I have done my duty to you."

"But how did you repay me?"

"Want my throne?"

Zhu Qiyu sneered: "You two will rebel when you go home, I will see how many people dare to rebel with the two of you, get out!" ”

Xiang Zhong and Zhu Ying didn't move.

At this moment, Xiang Zhong hated the prince to death, it must have been him who slandered and made the emperor suspect him, he did have ambitions, but he didn't think about rebellion.

This is the Ming Dynasty, not the Northern and Southern Dynasties, how much authority the courtiers have, who doesn't know?

Not to mention civilian officials, they are military generals, do you see that those military generals are thousands of miles away, and there is a rebellion?

No!

It's not that they don't want to, it's that they can't rebel!

Since the Song Dynasty, it has continuously weakened the general's sense of existence, and has constantly tightened the general's tight spell, and it has become even more powerful in the Ming Dynasty.

And Emperor Jingtai put another layer of hoop spell on all the generals.

The army is full of spies, Dongchang, Jinyiwei, Military Discipline Department, Night Harvest Division, and many eunuchs, and there are civilian officials in charge, so there is no possibility of rebellion at all.

"I beg Your Majesty to give the old minister a chance!"

Xiang Zhong kowtowed vigorously: "The old minister is willing to investigate corruption for His Majesty, and only asks His Majesty to give the old minister a posthumous name!" The old minister doesn't want to be a chaotic minister and thief, and he can't enter the ancestral grave after death, he doesn't want to! ”

"The old minister's family has been loyal and good for generations, and there have never been rebellious ministers and thieves!"

"The old minister is willing to use all his fame for a lifetime, the wealth of future generations, beg Your Majesty to give the old minister a chance, and the old minister is willing to be Your Majesty's sword!"

Xiang Zhong is really smart.

Immediately know what the emperor is going to do.

Zhu Ying's face turned pale, he really didn't dare to investigate, once he checked, it would make the entire court collapse.

The question is, will the emperor be afraid?

How many times has the court collapsed? Did the emperor care?

He was angry because someone lied to him, and what the emperor hated most was that someone lied to him and let the government out of his grasp.

"The old minister is willing to be His Majesty's sword!" Zhu Ying couldn't help it.

"You're going to bargain."

Zhu Qiyu sneered: "If you want a posthumous name, you can use me as a knife, as if you are noble." ”

"Why don't you ask yourself, do I need you to be a sword?"

"Haven't I ever killed anyone? Still won't kill? ”

"The old minister just wants to beg Your Majesty, for the sake of the old minister's hard work for half his life, to give the old minister a fulfillment." Xiang Zhong is smart, and he thinks about the emperor everywhere.

As long as he is a knife, maybe he won't die, and he will be the first assistant.

And this investigation of corrupt officials and corrupt officials is not a good opportunity to buy fame.

People grow old and become fine.

He immediately saw through the emperor's meaning, and the emperor did not immediately execute them, which proved that he did not pay much attention to corruption, and was more concerned about the government and the opposition deceiving him.

Then find out the people who deceived the emperor, kill them all, and let the emperor feel at ease.

"Prince, what do you say?" Zhu Qiyu looked at Zhu Jianqi.

Zhu Jianqi is already dumbfounded, I don't have an opinion.

"The prince persuaded me, saying that corruption is rampant in the government and the opposition, the relationship is complicated, and they cover each other, and I, the emperor, can't control it."

Zhu Qiyu suddenly smiled and said: "But you two want to be my knives, do you say you can kill them cleanly?" ”

"Yes!" Xiang Zhong said loudly.

"How much are you greedy?" Zhu Qiyu thought it was funny.

Xiang Zhong said calmly: "The old minister collected a total of 270,000 yuan, everything has an account book, Your Majesty can check it at any time if he wants to, and the old minister has not touched a cent." ”

That's smart.

I collected the money and did the work, but I haven't touched the stolen money, and if you want to check it, I'll give it to you.

This old thing can't see Zhu Ying's weakness and want to step on Zhu Ying's position, right?

Or a good friend, just like this?

Zhu Qiyu felt that he had been deceived by this old thing.

"Prince, what do you see?" Zhu Qiyu asked Zhu Jianqi again.

Zhu Jianqi kowtowed: "Erchen knows that he is wrong." ”

"You're not wrong, you're stupid."

Zhu Qiyu didn't want to reprimand him: "Xiang Zhong, what did you tell the prince wrong?" ”

Xiang Zhong suddenly shuddered, he was really scared.

"Returning to His Royal Highness the Prince, you handle the government on behalf of Your Majesty, you are the Vice Emperor, and you should report the matter to Your Majesty in detail, whether Your Majesty wants to hear it or not is one thing, and whether you report it is another......"

Zhu Qiyu interrupted him: "To get to the point, he is stupid and can't understand the meaning." ”

"You are the prince, you should stand with Your Majesty."

Xiang Zhong gritted his teeth and said: "You have been in power for more than ten years, you should know that there are problems to solve, not hide them." ”

These words broke Zhu Jianqi's defense.

What do I do with your hands? You Xiang Zhong also admitted, you have been greedy all these years, today the emperor is here, if there is no emperor, what would you do to me?

In your eyes, I'm nothing more than a stupid student, how can I look like a vice emperor!

"Rebellion is not as simple as you think."

Zhu Qiyu hated that iron could not become steel: "Do you think that if you raise your arms, they will be able to rebel?" ”

"What do you eat when Guo Deng and Yang Xin?"

"Can a few nobles in the army rebel? Their huge family, can't they live? If they have the slightest rebellion, their family will report it to me! ”

"The head made the donkey kick!"

"I've not been smart since I was a child, I've taught you for forty years, and you still don't know how much one plus one equals, how can you be the king of a country?"

That's too much.

Zhu Jianqi was about to kowtow and beg for mercy.

"You also said that I am tired and don't want to be this prince anymore, so I will resign tomorrow."

Zhu Qiyu wants to change the prince.

But these words immediately caused Zhu Ying, Xiang Zhong, and even Guo Deng to be anxious.

"Your Majesty......"

Before Zhu Ying could say anything, he was glanced at by the emperor, gritted his teeth and said, "The country can't move lightly." ”

"Yes, the country can't be moved, I understand, how good is such a mascot, it will be placed in the court in the future, let you fool around, and the world will not be surnamed Zhu."

Zhu Qiyu felt that the prince was hopeless.

Stupidity can't be taught.

Zhu Ying was full of words, choked in his throat, and didn't dare to speak.

When Zhu saw Qi ascending the throne, it was estimated that he was laughing.

I used to think that it was good to be a master of success, but I couldn't be a fool.

"Your Majesty, the Holy Sun is smart, and he can inherit the unification!" Xiang Zhong is smart, but Xie Jin, who said that he was a good saint, didn't end well.

Zhu Jianqi's eldest son, Zhu Youzhen is very smart, and the emperor likes it.

But how can a grandson have a son?

The sons of the fourth family are also capable.

It's just that I don't know if the fourth child is willing to come back and be the emperor.

"Your Majesty, the prince has not made any mistakes or omissions over the years, and being fooled by others just shows that the prince is benevolent."

Xiang Zhong gritted his teeth and said: "The prince has been the prince for twenty-eight years, and the government and the opposition all agree with the prince. ”

"Moreover, Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty both thought about changing the crown prince, but later they could not be replaced due to various reasons."

"Your Majesty, this matter is more serious than the investigation of corruption."

Zhu Jianqi didn't expect that Xiang Zhong, who had always been at odds with him, would support him as the crown prince because he was too stupid?

Zhu Qiyu's eyes flickered: "You mean I'm too old?" ”

"The old minister doesn't dare!" Xiang Zhong bumped and kowtowed, bleeding from his forehead.

What if you use the prince as a sword?

Zhu Qiyu thought of a bad move, ruined the prince's golden body, isn't he benevolent, let him take the initiative to kill, be an executioner, purge the government and the opposition of corrupt officials, and see if the government and the opposition will support him?

Yes!

A stupid prince will support it, let alone an executioner.

But this will only disgrace the face of the old Zhu family and the face of his emperor.

"That's it, let's go down first, I'll see the list tomorrow."

Zhu Qiyu suddenly realized that he could do some things and some things he couldn't.

After being the crown prince for twenty-eight years, he can't change it.

Then let's boil him to death.

Zhu Qiyu wanted to leave the prince behind and reprimand a few words, but found that he had no thoughts, people are like this, once they are disgusted, they will look at each other and be disgusted.

Zhu Jianqi, who returned to the palace, cried a lot, feeling depressed.

And in the next few days, the number of people in the palace was obviously decreasing, and many people disappeared, which was the emperor purging Wang Zhi's henchmen.

It is said that Wang Zhi died a particularly tragic death.

What frightened Zhu Jianqi was that there were several eunuchs in the East Palace, all of whom were Wang Zhi's people.

Behind Wang Zhi is the emperor.

It was the emperor who buried the nails in his palace.

The only thing that puzzled him was, who were those fresh faces who worked for the emperor? Daming doesn't have this department.

When did the emperor form this department?

In the Palace of Nourishing the Heart, the emperor changed his habits, and instead of serving one eunuch, many eunuchs served together and supervised each other.

Moreover, a group of new-faced palace ladies came into the palace.

They served in the Qianqing Palace and the Heart Cultivation Palace, and no one knew the origin of these people.

Orphan!

Zhu Jianqi understood a little that these people were orphans adopted by the emperor, and then trained as spies since childhood and used by the emperor.

Who is training for the Emperor?

He remembered an old story, when Jingtai was in the eighth year, the emperor had ordered Shu Liang to secretly train an army in Shanxi.

Later, when the emperor visited Nanjing, it was this army that was closely protected.

There must be someone who is secretly training spies for the emperor, and the children selected from the sanatorium are trained from an early age, and then lurk in a certain department, like a shadow, acting as the emperor's eyes and ears.

"Father really doesn't believe anyone."

Zhu Jianqi was terrified: "Wang Zhi has served him for more than ten years, and he doesn't even know that his father has hidden a hand, so is there still a force in this secret spy?" Silently observing this shadow force? ”

"I heard Guo Deng say that the military movements were all ordered by the emperor."

"The problem is that I have been in charge of the government for so many years, and I don't even know how the Beijing camp was structured, no, I know, I know the previous news."

"In what year was the military system changed? How come I didn't know at all? ”

"Oh, yes!"

"One year, Yu Qian suddenly entered the palace and had a secret conversation with the emperor for a long time, it must have been changed at that time, and Yu Qian personally presided over the change!"

"Yes, it must be Yu Qian!"

"What year was that? Forty years of Jingtai? ”

Zhu Jianqi couldn't remember it clearly, anyway, for a period of time, Yu Qian often entered the palace.

Only Yu Qian can reform the military system in such a big way.

"Therefore, the emperor is not panicking at all, I am in charge of the government and hook up with important ministers, and he doesn't care."

"The courtiers are corrupt from top to bottom, and some of them are in power, and he doesn't care."

"Just like Zhu Ying, in front of him, he is just a slave, as long as he says a word, he can execute this Zhu Ying, who is in power and in the opposition!"

"This is imperial power."

"No wonder my father only scolded me for being stupid, and didn't say that I had different intentions."

"Because the courtiers can fool me, they don't have the same heart with me at all."

"Is that the emperor really the emperor have one heart?"

"Not necessarily."

"Otherwise, why would the emperor raise it high and put it down gently?"

"He is also afraid that his grasp of military power is probably not as good as when he was young, or rather, the elite is abroad, and it will take time to transfer it back."

"So he's making a mistake."

"When the elite returns to the court, it will be the time for him to show his minions."

Zhu Jianqi found that he was smart.

At this moment, he kind of understood his father.

His father, a chess player, likes to open and close widely, and when he gains power, he will cut the grass and eradicate the roots.

Not this time, it means that he is not in power.

Zhu Ying and Xiang Zhong seem miserable, but in fact, they are just putting on a show, they investigate corruption, and they kill a few leaders, and then return part of the silver and hand in an answer sheet to the emperor.

So do they know that the emperor will send a large army back to the court?

Yes.

So what is in front of Zhu Ying and Xiang Zhong is either to survive with a broken arm, or to take risks.

"Zhu Ying and Xiang Zhong cried like that, do they dare to take risks?"

Zhu Jianqi thought for a long time and shook his head: "Who rebelled against them, those corrupt officials?" Let them embezzle, let them rebel, okay? ”

"Yes, if you don't have the capital to rebel, your father has already seen through it, so he talked to Guo Deng, insisting on civil officials, and didn't say anything about civil and military affairs."

"In the past few days, my father must have made an agreement with the head of the army."

"He single-handedly erected the mountains in the army, and there are nails in all forces, but who are the nails, they don't know each other, and only he knows how many dark lines the emperor has buried in the army."

"The army can't return to the court, as long as the honors are done, the civil officials can only pinch their noses and admit it, and the best result is to return the money."

"No...... right"

"Father doesn't want money!"

"He's proving to the world that he's not old!"

Zhu Jianqi completely understood.

So Zhu Ying and Xiang Zhong were willing to be swords, so the emperor took a step back and gave them a way to live.

Zhu Ying and Xiang Zhong are extremely smart people, and they will really be the emperor's sword.

As for how many people died, it didn't matter how much money was returned.

Therefore, the emperor's last words were to change the crown prince.

This is a test of the attitude of the courtiers.

To be precise, it is not to change the crown prince, but to see how much weight the emperor still has in the hearts of the courtiers, which determines how many people the emperor will kill.

So Xiang Zhong seemed to be helping him Zhu Jianqi speak, but he was actually helping the Manchu Dynasty civil and military to speak.

Everything is understood.

At the same time, Zhu Qiyu was also thinking: "When you are old, you have to serve the old, this is the world of young people, what is the use of fighting for these?" ”

He wasn't afraid of corruption at all.

He was afraid that someone would lie to him.

"This turmoil is over, let Zhu Ying go home to retire, and Xiang Zhong will be the first assistant." Zhu Qiyu felt that Xiang Zhong was obedient.

It's not that Zhu Ying doesn't understand him, but that Zhu Ying is unwilling to offend hundreds of officials in the world, so this person is useless.

Everyone is, when they want to climb up, they can't wait to be a dog for the emperor, and after they come up, they immediately stand on the opposite side of the emperor and go toe-to-toe with the emperor.

Civil officials are all of this virtue, but with peace of mind, at least they will not rebel like military generals.

At this moment, the prince came to plead again.

Every day, after the early dynasty, the prince will come to the Palace of Raising the Heart to plead guilty.

"Looks like an enlightenment." The corners of Zhu Qiyu's mouth curled.

The harsher the emperor and the more severely he scolded, the more stable the crown prince's position became.

Because the people of the world are afraid of such a hegemonic emperor, but they feel that after the benevolent prince ascends the throne, he will relax all kinds of controls, so that the powerful can start to feast to their heart's content.

This prince is also really stupid, the emperor can't teach him like this, if he wants to change him, he will understand immediately, this person, he must always have a sense of crisis.

"Come in."

Zhu saw Qi enter the palace and asked for guilt, after that day, he thought about it for a long time and understood the emperor's layout.

Xiang Zhong and Zhu Ying did act.

But after this disposal, how many years will it be?

"Show him." Zhu Qiyu just wrote the holy decree.

Zhu Jianqi was shocked after reading it: "Your Majesty, do you want to cut off the opportunity for the government and the opposition princess family to be admitted to the Jinshi?" ”

"Is it a severance?"

Zhu Qiyu was dissatisfied with this wording: "This is just a little more difficult." ”

Members of the Gongqing family, take the imperial examination, and take an additional subject, and the topic of this subject is determined by the palace.

This is a matter of digging people's roots.

In fact, the Ming Dynasty realized the monopoly of politics by the minister, which was single-handedly promoted by the emperor, and he was worried about his early death, so he forcibly put the children of the minister into the palace to serve.

This move really saved the emperor's life.

But now, the tail is not too big.

The Gongqing family monopolized politics and formed one political family after another.

Now that the emperor doesn't need it, he has to single-handedly break this monopoly.

In fact, this kind of monopoly is very good, and the reason why the Tatar Qing Emperor was able to die is because of the political monopoly and the lack of communication between the upper and lower levels.

The Ming Dynasty did not monopolize, so the emperor died strangely.

Once Zhu Qiyu breaks this monopoly, the future emperors are estimated to die inexplicably, and then the young lord ascends the throne and returns to the original trajectory.

If you don't break it, the entire class will be completely degenerate, and in a few years, the people will be miserable.

Taqing doesn't care if the people talk about life or not, their essence is slavery, nothing more than a layer of feudal skin.

Daming is not good, Daming is people-oriented, and the people will lose the hearts of the people if they don't have a good life, and then lose the hearts of the army, because Daming does not have the basic plate of the Eight Banners.

Zhu Qiyu was also hesitating.

If you want the emperor to live a long life, you must learn from the Tatar Qing, treat the people as dogs, turn the nobles into eight banners, and establish a basic plate.

Or go back to the original track.

The former will be more and more backward, but the imperial power can be retained, unless the country is opened by artillery, otherwise he can always be the emperor.

The latter walked, and will go to the path of elections, and the emperor will become a mascot if he is lucky, and guillotines if he is unlucky.

After all, the development of the industrial revolution is completely contrary to the imperial power, and sooner or later it will embark on the road of parliamentary elections.

The reason is not that the emperor is backward.

But there are more people who want to be the head, and they all want to be the head, so they will form a parliament, and everyone will be the head and vote on an equal footing.

And taking the road of Tatar Qing can protect the national honor for at least 500 years, and then be sent to the guillotine.

Zhu Qiyu hesitated.

The monopoly he concocted at the beginning, is it now broken, or is it a stamp for the monopoly and a monopoly in the name of justification?

It depends on whether you want to be one family or thousands of households.

The election may not be good for the people, at least it sounds better than the emperor system, in fact, the same blind box, there is no difference in nature.

It's just that from one family and one surname, to a new family and one surname, it's still that family, it's still that person, and it's just a different surname.

But in the land of Daming, there will be no complete democracy.

So, in the end, can the Zhu family become a political family, or become a mascot like the British royal family?

Then it depends on whether the descendants of future generations are smart enough and delegate power in time to become a mascot.

If it's not smart, it's a guillotine.

Zhu Qiyu fell into a difficult choice.
