It is also thanks to this Zhu Di that he is not an emperor who takes the words of the sage and the way of the sage too seriously, otherwise, he will definitely not listen to Zhu Song's later sentences, but it is precisely because he is a male lord on horseback that Zhu Song's later words are contrary to his appetite.

"Go on!"

Zhu Song continued: "Your Majesty, the words of the sage must be useful, but what was the environment in which the sage existed at that time? The rhetoric and ideas of a thousand years ago are completely inappropriate to get the current Ming Dynasty, because the environment is very different. ”

"Sage Kong was in the Spring and Autumn Period at that time, the Central Plains was divided, and then the first emperor of the ancestral dragon ruled the world, not to mention the things of the Spring and Autumn Period to get the current Ming Dynasty, even if it was to get the first emperor of the Qin Dynasty, it didn't work or two words? If I could only rely on the words and deeds of the saint thousands of years ago as the absolute standard for my actions, I think that would not be what the Confucian saint wanted to see. ”

Zhu Di sighed and said leisurely: "You have to know that I can pass this pass, and it is very good, isn't it equal trade and doing business, as long as they are willing to bow down to their subordinates, equal trade is no problem." ”

"But is this state matter decided by me alone? Don't say that it is a hundred officials in the imperial court, it is difficult for you to get by at that level of the prince! When the time comes, our brothers will bring these rhetoric to the court and say this, that's good, the courtiers below have blown up, and the prince is first of all a knowledgeable person who can't hold back and rush out! ”

Zhu Song also felt that the crown prince was indeed a difficulty, and the current prince had not yet become a prisoner in the later stage, and he had not really understood how difficult it was to be the lord of a country.

Now although the emperor keeps scolding him for picking bricks, he has not yet reached the point of really picking bricks, if he really reaches the point of picking bricks in the future, Zhu Song is talking about this, and he will agree without much difficulty.

But this kind of thing can't be delayed, whether from the perspective of the country or the people, this matter can't be delayed.

If you wait for more than ten years for such a thing, I am afraid that the daylilies will be cold at that time, and the prince's health is not good, just such a good life for decades, so that his father is tired, even if he waits for him to ascend the throne, he is willing to help himself, but he will be on the throne for ten months, what is ten months enough?

As for the later Emperor Xuande, when he ascended the throne, Zhu Song didn't know what he was like, how could he have so much effort to toss these things, if he wanted to really cross in vain, let the people of the whole world eat enough, let the national strength of the Ming Dynasty really become stronger, and let the treasury of the Ming Dynasty be filled with silver, which is the real role of Zhu Song crossing to the early Ming Dynasty.

In the face of the bumpy road ahead and many difficulties, Zhu Song breathed a sigh of relief, and then regained his spirits, this is just a small difficulty, just to let Daming and other countries achieve the goal of equal trade, it is so difficult, Zhu Song still has a lot of ideas waiting to be realized.

For example, it is necessary to reduce the annual income of the children of the royal family, and to reform the tax system, so that not only the peasants who cultivate the land, but also the merchants, and the tax must be collected according to the amount of profit each person receives each year.

Now these are all hors d'oeuvres, and what Zhu Song has to do next is to really start a war with most people.

"Your Majesty, it's still too late, it takes time for the imperial court to form a treasure fleet, and during this time, the ministers can start to pave the way for equal trade in the future."

Zhu Di also understands the true meaning behind Zhu Song's words and how much benefit it can bring to the imperial court, he is too short of money, whether it is to clear the north of the desert and expand the universe, or to build the Yongle Grand Ceremony or to form a treasure fleet, to find the traces of Jianwen, these all need silver, and according to the current income of the imperial court, it is not impossible to maintain, but who would be afraid of more money?

"You work hard, if the treasure ship can really be done, I will fulfill your wish again, the old monk said that you were born to be the prime minister's material, but now the court has no official position of prime minister, and our brothers can't overturn the old man's will, I mean that since I have planned to set up a cabinet, the position of the first assistant of the cabinet is really going to be handed over to you!"

Zhu Song thought that Zhu Di was painting a big cake for himself, but he didn't care, and dealt with it on the spot.

"The minister understands that he must make a lot of efforts to complete this matter."

"I'm not kidding you!" Zhu Di said very seriously: "I went to Jiming Temple, the old monk's words made me feel a lot, now there is no official position of prime minister in the court, if there is an official position of prime minister, I will also let you do it." ”

Zhu Song looked at Zhu Di's expression, it really didn't look like he was joking, and hurriedly refused: "Your Majesty, whether this matter is successful or not, the minister can't enter the cabinet, first, the minister is the prince of the court and the rules are not in accordance with the rules, and the second generation of ministers has limited energy, so they really can't be separated, after all, the minister is also responsible for tracking down the orphans of Jingnan and now he has some eyebrows, if he suddenly hands it over to others, he is only afraid of delay!" ”

Zhu Di is such a person, so Zhu Song had to go to get some brocade guard, which made Zhu Di think about it more than a dozen times, but if Zhu Di took the initiative to give Zhu Song, but Zhu Song said that he was not willing to do anything, then he felt that Zhu Song was too suitable for this official position.

"You don't have to say it! The cabinet is not the prime minister, the cabinet is not your hall, there will be other ministers in the cabinet, but it mainly depends on you. ”

"That's it, I won't wait for the treasure fleet to be implemented, and I don't have to wait a few years until then, I will issue an order to form a cabinet tomorrow morning, you are the first assistant of the cabinet, and Xia Yuanji, the head of the household department, will come to the early court tomorrow, and become the first assistant of the cabinet, and you will have to go to the morning court every day in the future!"

"Huh?"

Zhu Song hurriedly waved his hand frantically: "Your Majesty, this is not good!" You asked me to get up so early every morning to go to the morning court, didn't you ask for the life of your minister? This doesn't work, this doesn't work, you can't do this job, you better find someone else! ”

There were only two words in response to Zhu Song: "Qin this!" ”

Zhu Di smiled proudly: "Do you still dare to resist the decree?" This is a holy decree! ”

"Remember, you have to come to the court early tomorrow morning, and you don't have to wear official uniforms, your python robe was still given to you by your father when you got married, four claws, I gave you a five-clawed dragon robe!"

In the Ming Dynasty, the children of the royal family could wear five-clawed golden dragon group robes, from the prince, the prince's prince and the prince of the county, to the founding heroes, such as General Chang Yuchun and General Xu Da, all wore five-clawed golden dragon robes.
