Zhu Yuanzhang can see my dreams

Chapter 217 I am a big player Zhu Houzhao

Zhu Yuanzhang was surprised at first, and then he was ecstatic.

To be honest, he was really afraid that his son's temperament would become more and more generous in the future, and he would pay more and more attention to the description of himself as a saint in the mouths of those civil servants.

In this way, it is easy for them to play with and applaud.

Bureaucrats must not be trusted!

They always have all kinds of little ideas.

How can they not be as loyal as Zhuge Liang who wanted to help the Han Dynasty and return the old capital!

Zhu Yuanzhang admired Zhuge Liang more and more because he could not obtain this "model of loyal minister".

Now he is just like Cao Cao. The less he gets Guan Yu's service, the more he wants Guan Yu.

If I really get it, I’m not sure what I’ll think about it.

Now that his eldest son Biao'er could come to this conclusion, Zhu Yuanzhang was very happy.

"But you have to rely on them to govern the world." Zhu Yuanzhang showed no expression of joy on his face:

"Listen to the voices of these scholars. They are really shouting. You have just stung a hornet's nest."

Lao Zhu sent someone to instruct the Japanese Japanese king to take care of his people and stop coming to the Ming Dynasty to be Japanese pirates. He also called them "Japanese" in his credentials. The angry Prince Huailiang almost killed the Ming envoy.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly: "According to calculation, our people should have arrived in Japan. The exploration has already begun. We are very much looking forward to it!"

This meeting lasted for three days, and thousands of monks participated. Zhu Yuanzhang also attended the event in person. It was indeed a meeting of monks from outside to recite sutras.

Zhu Yuanzhang said indifferently.

"We didn't have much chance to study before, so we started to do it afterward, so we should beat them with military sticks, distribute them to the frontiers and distribute them to the frontiers, and chop them when they should be chopped off.

"Dad, then do I have anything to worry about?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned.

That’s all Lao Zhu Ling and Qi.

It was only then that Zhu Yuanzhang showed a smile on his face. He was very satisfied with Zhu Biao's answer and thought that his son had made great progress.

He didn't care at all about his status as a scholar, and he would kill him if he made a mistake.

"No, he just said that the emperor and his ministers are in opposition to each other.

But the ministers under his command can completely switch to the Ming Lord. With better luck, they will not only survive, but also have better development. "

"Dad wants me to give you a little side-kick. Has he heard the rumors about a gold and silver mine somewhere in Japan?"

After the Ming Dynasty had silver mines, the value of Ming Dynasty treasure notes would not continue to decline.

"he?"

If they don't do it, there are some scholars who want to be officials. "

Monk Zulai returned to Nanjing with the envoy and the envoy who had been imprisoned in Japan.

Hearing this, Zhu Biao also had a smile on his lips.

Even if he is related to the emperor and is a minister, as the emperor, he should not be completely believed.

Wang Buli was sitting in the county government hall, feeling a little cursed in his heart.

Zhu Biao nodded in agreement, then spread his hands and said:

If the Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes continued to decline before the silver mine was found, Zhu Biao thought there would be a big problem and he might have followed the old path of the Yuan Dynasty.

Then the next year, he swallowed his breath, professed his vassalage to the Ming Dynasty, and sent monk Zu Lai as the recruitment envoy. After all, Zhu Yuanzhang had also been a monk before, and he hoped that they could have a common topic.

He knew Wang Buli was a smart man, but he didn't expect to say such words that were detrimental to his position.

Zhu Biao was also very pleased that Wang Buli was so frank. He said that the emperor was a loner. This was an empirical statement left over from history, and probably no one could decipher it.

Now this group of people has successfully arrived in Japan without encountering any storms, which in his opinion is a good start.

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but sigh, this is the fact.

"Our good son-in-law is an honest man."

The officials below only have three days off every year during work. He really uses everyone equally as an ox and a horse!

Wang Buli counted on his fingers and found that it was probably more than a month until Lao Zhu's birthday.

"Wang Buli taught you this?"

At that time, money was worthless and people couldn't survive. Will there be more people rebelling?

"By the way, we heard that Monk Zulai is ill. You can go and see him on your behalf."

Zhu Biao also had a smile on his face when he heard this, and then shook his head firmly:

What else can you do? There are many scholars.

"Ah."

Nanjing Tianjie Temple held a grand Buddhist ceremony for this purpose.

Zhu Biao also nodded lightly: "How did dad deal with these scholars in the past?"

"Oh."

Because after the Ming Dynasty fell, it would be difficult for the emperor to bow his head and survive as a minister.

Sitting alone on that throne, no one would be willing to share their power with others.

Only one day off on such an "important" holiday.

Of course, Wang Buli was also very lucky.

After all, those high-ranking officials still had to go to the palace to wish Old Zhu Qingsheng, which was equivalent to not having a holiday.

It was a rare opportunity to flatter the emperor, so everyone had to support him.

"Prince-in-law, shall we go patrolling the streets?" Zhongniu, the catcher, stepped forward and saluted and asked.

"I don't want to go today."

Wang Buli leaned on his chair and asked casually: "Is Ye Qinhuai on a new show again?"

"I heard that my young father-in-law has raised a theater troupe and started rehearsing the story of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. It is quite popular.

The young master also started to play the role of Guan Erye after passing five levels and defeating six generals, and he never tired of it. "

"Hey?"

Wang Buli's eyes widened, and he didn't expect that Li Jinglong would play the role of Second Master Guan himself.

Sure enough, these people who don't have to worry about food and drink can develop their own interests and hobbies at will.

"Let me think about it and go back to cheer him up."

Wang Buli waved his hand and told them to rest for a while and not wander around in the street.

Although we can't give everyone a holiday on the surface, staying in the county office is equivalent to a holiday in disguise.

It's time to take a break.

If you work so hard every day, Lao Zhu will let you do what you deserve, and you will receive such a large salary.

Zhu Yuanzhang took the prince into the fairyland again and saw a young emperor who was quite fair and thin.

He frowned again. Why did the Ming Emperor look so young when he came to the throne? He didn't look like an adult at all.

This made Zhu Yuanzhang very doubtful. Could it be that after becoming the emperor, most of them were short-lived ghosts?

Because Lao Zhu had heard about the reign names of Wanli for decades, the Ming Dynasty changed three emperors in one year.

But this young Emperor Zhengde made Zhu Yuanzhang very satisfied, because he was the eldest son of the crown prince who inherited the throne. It was really rare. Among so many emperors, he only heard of such an eldest son who succeeded the emperor.

Zhu Biao looked at his young descendant and listened to the advice of these senior ministers.

What the young emperor currently needs to face are three problems left by the previous emperor.

First, Ming Dynasty did not have enough income;

Second, many guard posts in the northwest were unable to repel the Mongols;

Third, eunuchs and civil servants had different opinions on how these issues should be resolved.

Especially the third point, the eunuch dared to stand beside the emperor and make suggestions, which really shocked Zhu Yuanzhang and his son.

Zhu Yuanzhang had established many rules to guard against his relatives and eunuchs.

The lessons of history made Zhu Yuanzhang deeply understand the harm to politics caused by eunuchs and relatives.

He believed that the disasters in the Han and Tang dynasties were all caused by eunuchs.

This kind of people are indispensable in the palace, and they can only serve as slaves, sweeping and running around.

There should not be too many people, nor should they be used as ears, eyes, and confidants.

Be the eyes and ears, and the ears and eyes are bad.

Be a confidant, a confidant.

The way to deal with eunuchs is to make them obey the law.

If you abide by the law, you will naturally not do bad things.

Don't let them take credit for their achievements. Once they do, it will be difficult to control them.

Internal ministers are not allowed to hold civil and military official titles from foreign dynasties, and are not allowed to wear the clothes of officials from foreign dynasties.

To be an inner court official, one cannot pass the fourth rank. He will receive one stone of rice per month, and the official's household will be responsible for clothing and food.

In particular, the yamen of the outer dynasty are not allowed to have official correspondence with the inner officials and supervisors.

These regulations aimed at the abuses that had occurred in history. As a result, Zhu Yuanzhang did not expect that the eunuchs were still so rampant and dared to influence the emperor's thoughts.

Zhu Yuanzhang's fists became hardened with anger.

Lao Zhu was born into a poor tenant farmer. He worked as a wandering monk and begged everywhere. After joining the army and taking power, he came into contact with Confucian scholars and took the initiative to study. He became somewhat bookish and talked about the past and the present.

But in fact, Lao Zhu was still a little unconfident because of his humble background. He would pretend to be magical, using monks and Taoists to give him "spectacles" to consolidate his throne.

From the time Zhu Yuanzhang defeated Chen Youliang, what a Taoist said in public before the expedition came true, and the march went smoothly. There were also rumors that there were twenty-eight stars in the sky, and they took turns descending to earth to be the masters. Emperor Hongwu was the star descended to earth.

Nowadays, Hongwu money, which is not in circulation, is very valued by the country people. Children wear it on their bodies, thinking that it can ward off evil spirits.

Zhu Yuanzhang used Buddhism and Taoism to perform miracles. Later, Xie Jin wrote a letter asking Lao Zhu to be more confident. You are the right emperor and you don't need gods to prove yourself.

Lao Zhu thought he had been discovered, so he stopped doing it. His interest in the two factions suddenly dropped and he no longer talked about such things.

He is very fond of history, and he mainly reads books in order to find out the problems of the collapse of dynasties.

This will prevent Ming Dynasty from following the trendy old path.

Zhu Yuanzhang also discussed eunuchs with Zhu Biao and found examples from history.

Regarding internal officials, it is believed that in ancient times, eunuchs were in charge of cleaning up some palace servant affairs in the morning and evening.

From the time when Empress Dowager Deng of the Han Dynasty came to the court as a heroine and used eunuchs as permanent attendants and other officials, eunuchs began to steal political power and dominate and dominate until the Tang and Song Dynasties.

Now these eunuchs actually handle state affairs for him, while he goes out to play by himself.

When Zhu Biao heard Emperor Zhengde telling the eight eunuchs kneeling on the ground that he didn't trust those civil servants, he would just trust you and work hard for me, he couldn't hold himself any longer.

This idea is correct, but it does not allow you, the party emperor, to hand over your power to others!

Especially eunuchs!

Zhu Yuanzhang originally thought that it was outrageous to have an established emperor beside Emperor Tianqi, but he didn't expect that his predecessor actually had eight!

Damn it!

The auxiliary ministers left behind by the previous emperor began to advise again, and wrote five pieces of advice, asking the emperor to correct himself and stop playing around all the time.

Ask him to sit on the emperor's throne and handle his own affairs, and never to hand over his authority to eunuchs.

The first is that the emperor often rode alone out of the palace to play without any guards.

"How brave."

Zhu Yuanzhang had to grit his teeth and boast about his juniors. It seemed that the capital of the Ming Dynasty was really safe.

But no one could have imagined that the emperor would be so bold.

In particular, this move violated the ancestral precepts formulated by Zhu Yuanzhang.

Under his rules, the emperor lived in the palace before the court, and could only leave the palace when holding a suburban ceremony or going out for a formal inspection.
