Chapter 499 Scavenger
Zhu Xu stopped in front of the plum blossom forest, looked at the blooming cold plums, and kept slapping the back of his hands with his right hand.
The situation in the Ming Dynasty seemed to be improving all the way, but in fact it was still full of crises and was still aggravating. It also turned from the open to the secret. Huang Taiji is, Shaanxi and Xi are the same.
"You can't be careless..." Zhu Xu said softly.
Cao Huachun stood behind him, a little confused. He lowered his head and was silent for a while and then stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, are you talking about the capital?"
Zhu Xu shook his head and said to himself: "Not only, my throne seems to be stable, but if someone suddenly kicks it down one day, you don't have to be too surprised... Staying a business is more difficult than starting a business. By this time of Ming Dynasty, anything may happen..."
Zhu Xu's reforms hurt the interests of many people. These people are the so-called "greater vested interests", and the "removed interests" were not immediately passed on to the lower class people who could not survive. The "enemy" of the Ming Dynasty was relatively more than history and more dangerous!
Cao Huachun still didn't quite understand what Zhu Xu said. In his opinion, the Ming Dynasty was thriving and growing stronger day by day, and had already recovered Liaodong. What else could threaten the Ming Dynasty and the emperor's throne?
‘Is it the south?’ Cao Huachun was also thinking secretly in his heart. He knew that most of the information the emperor had read recently came from the south.
South, clouds. South of the south.
Cao Huachun just chatted with the emperor for a few words, not making the emperor feel embarrassed to talk to himself alone, and then he remained silent.
Zhu Xu decided to find an opportunity to go to Jiangnan next year and take a look at the world of the Ming Dynasty. The articles in the memorials were too general, and he didn't know how the people are living now.
Zhu Youjian walked over from behind, raised his hand and bowed to Zhu Xu and said, "I will meet you, the emperor."
His expression was filled with an uncontrollable haze, and he was slaughtering in front of the Shenyang Palace gate. This was definitely not what the wise ruler did. It was too bloody, cruel, neither benevolent nor moral.
Zhu Xu didn't care about his face, waved his hand and smiled, "Flat."
Zhu Youjian thanked En and stood up, looking at Zhu Xu and stopped talking. The man had already killed him, so it would be too late to stop him.
Zhu Xu walked forward a few steps and said, "Brother, I plan to return to Beijing in two days."
Zhu Youjian felt inexplicably relieved, walked forward two steps, and asked, "Emperor, are you going to be with me?"
Cao Huachun followed the two of them slowly, not far or near.
Zhu Xu looked at Hanmei in the forest and said as he walked, "No, let Zhou Yingqiu and others leave first tomorrow, and the Emperor's brother will leave again, and I will stay for another two days."
Zhu Youjian's brows moved, followed Zhu Xu, and said, "Your Majesty, do you have other things?" He was worried, afraid that Zhu Xu would have another 'big event'.
Zhu Xu held his hands behind his back and stayed in front of a big tree. The plum blossoms were blooming just in time, but the branches were intertwined, destroying the beauty.
Zhu Xu turned his head and looked at Zhu Youjian, smiled and said, "Brother, the auxiliary minister of the cabinet, have you considered it?"
When Zhu Youjian saw Zhu Xu change the topic, hesitated for a moment, he followed up and said, "I have a few candidates. In addition, I suggest that Shangshu Fu and Shangshu Zhou also enter the cabinet."
朱栩眉头一挑,朱由检这个安排有意思,既卖了他面子表了忠心也可以拉拢户部,吏部两个手握大权的尚书,为他以后的施政收集筹码.
Fu Changzong and Zhou Yingqiu were the ones with the greatest power except the Ministry of War. Zhu Youjian of the Ministry of War did not dare to make any decisions, but these two were natural.
Zhu Xu also thought it through in an instant, so he reached out and folded a plum blossom and said, "They have a little less experienced. Let's do this. Zhang I, the Minister of Rites, will join the cabinet, and the others will be fine."
Zhu Youjian's expression remained unchanged, and he felt a little unwilling to do so, but he also heard that the 'others' were the emperor's people, and he could not bring him into the cabinet anymore. Although he didn't like Zhang I'm still exaggerating and had a villain, he could not refuse clearly. He was silent for a while and said, "Emperor, do you have any plans for the candidate for the Minister of Rites?"
Zhu Xu turned his head to look at Zhu Youjian, and he found that the emperor's brother had been a little anxious recently. However, he could understand that at the time of his rule, Wen Zhao Pavilion's status was very awkward, and it was normal for Zhu Youjian to be nervous.
Zhu Xu agreed with Yuan Keli's idea in his heart. With the current environment of the Ming Dynasty, it is indeed not suitable to keep two huge naval masters. It is necessary to merge the North and South Navy and establish the strongest naval master.
Yuan Keli is old, Xiong Wencan does not have great ability, nor is he enterprising at sea, but he has strong coordination ability. At present, he can only stabilize the navy and steadily advance the navy's established development plan.
"I plan to transfer Yuan Ke into the Ministry of Rites." Zhu Xu said. He was not relieved and did not like the two ministers of the Ministry of Rites, Qian Qianyi, Wen Tiren and Zhu Xu.
Yuan Keli had a prominent family background, a family of scholars, had a great reputation in the court and the country, and had enough qualifications. It was indeed very suitable for him to be the Minister of Rites, and it was difficult to find the person he was fighting for.
Zhu Youjian also admired Lord Yuan quite a lot and raised his hand and said, "The emperor is wise, and I agree."
Zhu Xu smelled the fragrance of plum blossoms, and the fragrance was refreshed, and his spirit was refreshed, but his expression was a little calm: "Brother, I heard the news that the capital has not been peaceful recently..."
Although Zhu Youjian, the Prime Minister of Government, has limited power, but there is no one. Such news can only be hidden from him. He also felt cold on his face when he heard this, and said, "Emperor, some people have ulterior motives and want to control the government and should be killed!"
Zhu Xu smiled, looked at the branches with chaotic branches, threw away the plum blossoms in his hand, and exhaled, and said, "Brother, since ancient times, the party struggles have often started with not fighting for power or personal grudges, but different ideas of governing the country. They argued endlessly, and they all wanted to prove that they were right. To realize them, they had to grasp power, so they began to fight for power..."
"Before the ancestor of God, the party struggles were still taboo and restrained, and they were all small-scale. They were nothing more than the chief assistant, the secondary assistant, and the officials of various departments were fighting for each position. The emperor had to decide whether to stay or not, so they all looked carefully at the emperor's face and did not dare to be too arrogant. They tried their best to avoid the word "party struggles" and did not dare to be contaminated. But after Zhang Taiyue, the court officials seemed to have all been enlightened and did not avoid forming party members at all. They were surging and surging, spreading all over the Ming Dynasty!"
"The Chu Party, Kun Party, Zhejiang Party, and then to the once-famous Donglin Party, no matter what position or how high the position is, they cannot avoid it. They will not be formed or recommended by the Party. There are all party members in the court, either this or that Party. Everything is the first, and government affairs are second. Everyone takes good deeds as a good person, has no enterprising intentions, and is overly accustomed to things..."
Zhu Youjian was unconsciously nervous when he listened to Zhu Xu's words. He clearly remembered that every time the emperor talked to him in depth, something big would happen later! He had a premonition that the following words were definitely not what he wanted to hear.
Zhu Xu held his hands behind his back, his eyes were deep, his tone was not fluctuating, as if he was narrating: "The Donglin Party started in the Wanli period and became the Tianqi, and he claimed that "the whole country is full of righteousness, and the world is pure and upright". What's the benefit of the country? I saw the Donglin Party members in the court celebrated each other, but had no political thoughts. They eliminated other cliques and fell into internal conflicts..."
"Is the so-called eunuch party an internal supervisor? They are all the 'evil party's elimination from Donglin. They gathered together and used the emperor's trust in Wei Zhongxian to fight back against the Donglin party... All the people in Donglin claim to be honest and upright, clamoring to support the country, but there is no major national policy? They all talk about big truths and cannot be implemented at all..."
Zhu Youjian frowned from time to time. His attitude towards the Donglin Party was different from Zhu Xu, and he believed that many people still had advantages and were pillars of the country.
Zhu Xu looked at the plum blossoms and paused for a moment and continued: "After the Donglin Party took power, the court seemed clear and clear, but the party struggles were gradually intensifying. Not all of them were still fighting for power and profit? What did you feel ashamed to take the world as your responsibility, and what would be the revival of the Ming Dynasty and the country have become empty talk..."
Zhu Youjian felt that he had to stop Zhu Xu, otherwise there would be no room for maneuver when the words followed. He pondered: "Your Majesty, you can't generalize, at least, the Donglin Party members have good intentions, which is better than some people who only know how to do evil."
The 'evil person' can only be Wei Zhongxian. However, bad things done by kindness are even more terrible and hateful!
Zhu Xu ignored Wei Zhongxian's words and said slowly, "The Ming Dynasty has the most scholars, and a thousand people have ten thousand ideas. These ideas are strange and strange. I don't know where they all come from. Everyone is extremely stubborn, insisting on their own opinions without compromise, and giving in. If you are the same and similar, make friends, and if you are different, you will fight for all your strength, and call it "evil"! In their opinion, they can save the Ming Dynasty. The power that is not fought for is not the end of the Ming Dynasty.
"The Ming Dynasty is like a carriage. Thousands of people pull carriages from countless directions. Everyone wants to take Daming with him. His direction is the right way, the way he designed is correct, and others are 'traitors'. They all tried their best and tried their best to end... Brother, do you think this carriage can last and will it fall apart?"
Zhu Youjian frowned, and his face gradually became deeper. Not only was Zhu Xu's metaphor very scary, but he also heard a hint of smell from Zhu Xu's words.
Zhu Youjian looked at Zhu Xu's side face. The emperor's expression was very calm, but it was also so calm that Zhu Youjian became more and more uneasy. He raised his hand and asked nervously: "What does the emperor mean?"
Zhu Xu looked at the big tree in front of him, surrounded by vines, tightly tied from top to bottom, one by one, no gap. The vines came from all directions, one by one, two, ten or eight, and couldn't be cleaned up.
"I plan..." Zhu Xu narrowed his eyes and said with a firm tone: "Next year, all the civil and military officials and generals of the third rank and above from all over the Ming Dynasty will be summoned to the capital to discuss the direction of the Ming Dynasty seriously and meticulously, and come up with a method that everyone agrees with. In the future, I will make every effort to promote it. Once established, I will specifically enact legislation. Anyone who acts in accordance with the law shall not be stopped!"
Zhu Youjian looked quite surprised, was it just like that? He looked motionless, and he was quietly waiting for Zhu Xu to say "but".
Zhu Xu did not surprise him, and a cold light flashed in his eyes and said, "But before, we have to clean up some people who have decided to block the road, dig holes, and set traps!"
