It is also unavoidable that the strength of civil officials will grow, after all, if you fight the world immediately, you can't rule the world immediately, and you still have to use civil officials to govern the world. Especially after the Song Dynasty, this has become the general trend.

In the previous Han and Tang dynasties, the strength of military generals was barely able to balance with civilian officials, but since the Tang Dynasty made a "good example", none of the dynasties behind it dared to reuse military ministers like them.

The Ming Dynasty is the same, although it is not as outrageous as the Song Dynasty, but in fact, since the founding of the country, it has gradually focused on civil officials.

Since Yongle, in fact, it has been "mixed with water" into the army, and many civilian officials have entered the system of military ministers.

There is a saying that the change of the original time and space is the rebellion of the nobles. After all, Shi Heng, the Marquis of Wuqing who participated at that time, was the leader among the generals, and Wang Ji, the famous Jingyuan Bo, also participated in it.

Although there are no events such as civil forts in this time and space, the decline of the nobles is also obvious, and the strength of the civil official group is increasing dramatically.

Zhu Jianshen felt tricky.

Relying on those few princes alone, they can't withstand the swelling civil servants at all, not to mention that there are a few gentlemen like Yan Yundeng from time to time, and there are many mediocre people left.

Headache, headache.

He sat up straight, frowning and thinking, and Empress Wu saw that her husband had entered the state of work, and she did not say anything to disturb him.

Before he knew it, the tea had been drunk, and a handsome and intelligent little eunuch stepped forward and poured tea for him.

Zhu Jianshen looked at this little eunuch, and his inner thoughts continued to fly.

The eunuchs were supposed to replace the nobles at this juncture, but the eunuchs of this generation of celebrants and eunuchs and the factory governors of Dongchang were all a group of good people, "good eunuchs" in the eyes of civil officials.

It may be that since Yongle has not appeared a good example of the eunuchs, these people have gotten along well with the civil officials one by one, forming a harmonious situation in which the inner court and the outer court work together.

It's just a spy organization like Dongchang that picks leaders.

The best example is Jin Yiwei Lu Bing, under his leadership, Jin Yiwei, who has almost been reduced to a subsidiary of the East Factory, has completely risen up and suppressed the East Factory.

The same is true for Dongchang and the celebrant supervisor, once there is a capable person, he will directly tilt the power to the government and the opposition such as Liu Jin and Wei Zhongxian, but if the leader is mediocre, you may not even hear his name.

As soon as he thought of this, Zhu Jianshen was a little angry.

You are the emperor's minions, the emperor's black gloves, who are you looking at with a kind face!

Wu saw that Zhu Jianshen's expression was not very good, so he gently rubbed his shoulders for him and soothed:

"Your Majesty works hard all night for the court, it is excellent, there is the image of a Ming Jun, but don't be tired of yourself, the dragon body is important."

While speaking, she also instructed the little eunuch standing aside:

"Go, bring some soothing incense for Your Majesty."

The little eunuch saluted respectfully, responded to the peace, and then walked out of the hall.

But Zhu Jianshen noticed the appearance of this little eunuch, which inexplicably gave him a little familiarity.

"He's Yao?" It seems that someone has thought of it, Zhu Jianshen asked.

He felt that this little eunuch was somewhat similar to one of his concubines.

"Yes, he was brought back to the palace after the victory in Broken Tengxia that year." Wu's generous appearance surprised Zhu Jianshen a little, and he smiled awkwardly.

In July, Ji, who is also from the Yao clan, gave birth to his second son for Zhu Jianshen, named Zhu Youzhang.

Mother is expensive by virtue of her son, Zhu Youzhang's birth made Ji's status rise, and he was directly named a concubine, and his status was only under the Bai family, who gave birth to the emperor's eldest son, and Zhu Jianshen also spent more of his thoughts on his two sons, but he was a little cold Queen Wu, who had been childless.

He thought that the Wu family would be dissatisfied, but the queen's reaction was beyond his expectations.

"This little guy named Wang Zhi is very smart, although he is only twelve years old, he is already quite skillful, and he commands the slaves and maids in an orderly manner, which makes me a lot easier."

Wu really didn't seem to care too much about this, and said casually as if he hadn't done so.

Wang Zhi was already very clever, without Concubine Wan, Queen Wu is the most powerful person in this harem, if you don't lick her, who will you lick? After a few years of getting along, he has become Wu's confidant.

When Zhu Jianshen heard this, his eyes lit up.

He was already a little guilty about Empress Wu, and he had been thinking about compensating her, wouldn't this opportunity come?

And this little eunuch seems to be astute, maybe it will be a good knife.

"Since you've said so, it seems that he has some ability. It just so happens that there is a shortage of people in the inner court, but I don't know if the queen can cut her love? I'd like to arrange some errands for him in the Imperial Prison. Zhu Jianshen said with a smile.

Empress Wu listened and smiled:

"Being able to get His Majesty's favor is the blessing of this kid, how can the concubine disagree? The concubine thanked His Majesty for him first. ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, and everything was silent.

Does Wu really not care? No, it is an iron law in the harem that mothers are valued by their sons, even if it is a queen, she has no sense of security if she can't give birth to an heir.

Since the stomach is not angry, it can only ...... Rely on eunuchs.

The two then chatted like an ordinary couple, until a eunuch came to tell him:

"Your Majesty, the ministers in the cabinet have something to do."

Zhu Jianshen smiled helplessly, and Wu thoughtfully helped him up and tidied up his clothes for him:

"Your Majesty, political affairs are important."

Zhu Jian glanced at Empress Wu apologetically, but walked out quickly.

He knew that it was definitely not a small matter to get all the cabinet ministers to advise at the same time.

Empress...... Spend more time with her in the future!

When they came to the imperial study, several courtiers of the cabinet had already waited again, and when they saw the emperor enter, they hurriedly saluted.

"Excuse me, give me a seat!"

Zhu Jianshen waved his hand, and the eunuch immediately sent them a stool.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Several courtiers sat down, and Yu Qian immediately said with a solemn face:

"Your Majesty, there has been a great drought this year, and there have been a lot of displaced people, and the form is critical!"

Zhu Jianshen was stunned.

For Da Ming, the homeless people are all too familiar. The natural disasters of the Ming Dynasty were extremely frequent, and after each catastrophe, a considerable number of displaced people would be generated, and there were even hundreds of thousands at the most, among which there were many ill-intentioned people, but each time the Ming Dynasty could easily deal with it.

He knew about the drought, but this was not the first time, so when he first heard about it, he didn't take it seriously, and according to his previous experience, he allocated funds from the treasury and ordered disaster relief, and he left it behind.

Why is this critical?

However, he also understood that Yu Qian would not be alarmist.

So he asked in a deep voice:

"What the hell is going on, how many outcasts are you?"

"Your Majesty, a lot." Yu Qian nodded slowly:

"If it is not handled properly, the imperial court will have to face it,"

"A wave of nearly two million displaced people."
