Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 890
Question: What should I do when a matter is difficult to handle but cannot be avoided?
As a veteran of the Five Dynasties who has been in office for many years and has stood firm for many years, Hu Wei's answer is that the first thing is to dare to rush forward and be able to fight upward.

Although it is said that this is private, it is precisely because it is private that the words of the emperor are placed here, which makes it even more forbidding for them to back down.

The more this kind of occasion, the more difficult things are, and the less you can't grind.

If it is not difficult to do, if the emperor casually mentions it in the morning, countless people will naturally come forward to do it.

It was because of the difficulty that the emperor came to look for him in private, and it was also because of the difficulty that the emperor found him, a respected veteran of the Five Dynasties, Minister of Rites.

People always want to be useful, always thinking that no one will be offended, and in the end everyone will be offended.

So when it's time to push up, you have to push up no matter how difficult it is. Only when you can push up at critical times can you sit firmly under your buttocks.

In Hu's mind, he was like Ming Jing. With the character of the emperor, what was decided must be done.

If he can't do it, someone else will naturally do it.

If other people do it, there will be two situations. One is that he steps down and someone else takes the stage, and the other is even worse. Just like today, others do things and he takes the blame.

After all, along with clan affairs, the Ministry of Rites and the Clan Mansion cannot be avoided.

As the minister of the Ministry of Rites, it is not impossible for Hu Ruo to stand by and watch, but no matter how he does it, once something happens, the pressure will come to him.

It would be better to follow up neatly, not only leaving an image in front of the emperor who can stand up to him at a critical time, but also holding the power of how to do this matter in his own hands.

Do things by yourself, be lenient or strict, accept or let go, the direction is always controlled by yourself, and you won't follow others' buttocks to clean up your hands.

However, if you only comprehend this level, then you are just reckless.

The next step is easy to pick up, but it's not easy to do it well. If you know how to pick it up with a dull head, you will have a good impression on the emperor, but you will only be the one who makes it difficult.

Therefore, on the basis of adhering to the first principle, the second is to dare to raise difficulties.

Having stayed in the court for 50 years, Mr. Hu has already passed the stage where he was young and energetic and insisted on proving his ability in everything.

Difficult things are hard things to do, and the attitude of handling things is good, but the objective difficulties must also be mentioned. Of course, while emphasizing the difficulties, the emperor should not feel that this is evading complaints, so the best choice is... Let your partner talk about it !

This is also the reason why although Hu Wei was the first to see the memorial, he has been discussing with the emperor to perfect it during this period of time, but he didn't say too much about how difficult things are.

The one who can't escape is Prince Min. When he comes, he will naturally say...

I'm afraid Zhu Huixun doesn't know until now that the suggestion to ask him to come over for a discussion was actually proposed by Mr. Hu Wei during the last audience.

Red face and white face, there is always a division of labor and cooperation, and he can't sing all by himself.

Of course, this step alone is not enough.

The emperor entrusted them with the work, and wanted them to do things, not to let them complain.

So, after talking about the difficulties, you have to have a solution.

The previous step can be done by others, but this step must be done by yourself.

To put it bluntly, if you want a horse to run, you have to let the horse eat grass. You must learn to borrow strength, especially the strength of the emperor.

The reason why the rectification of the army can be carried out is not because the emperor is willing to delegate power and let Yu Qian take full power to preside over it. Even for this reason, Yu Qian almost turned the military department into his own back garden, and the emperor did not stop it.

It is a great policy to rectify the army, and it is naturally a great policy that the Son of Heaven wants to rectify the clan affairs.

That being the case, you can't favor one person over another, let alone leave things to them arbitrarily and leave them alone.

The support that should be given is still to be given!

You know, this matter, especially the part that the Ministry of Rites has to undertake, is a job that offends people thoroughly. If there is no support from the emperor, Mr. Hu will never do it. Even if he does, there are still some ways to do it Work hard.

Zhu Qiyu also understood this point.

As the son of heaven, in such a major matter involving the direction of state affairs, one must not only focus on the result but not the process.

Otherwise, it will either cause the subordinates to act mischievously under the banner of the banner. The most typical example of this is the civil engineering battle that just happened.

Otherwise, you will get a false result, such as Jiajing, who is very comfortable in his ears, but in fact, no one has given him the real situation.

Since it is a major state affairs, the emperor does not have to do everything personally, but he must control every step of the way, at least understand clearly, and point out the direction for the people below.

Therefore, after pondering for a moment, he spoke.

"Since that's the case, let my uncle arrange it first, and write to each clan to inquire. The Ministry of Rites will also make a memorial first, and then I will discuss it with the court."

"As for these measures, the other yamen have little to do with it, but the part about Zonglu has to be discussed with the Ministry of Household Affairs. Uncle Da Zong can discuss it with Shen Shangshu in the next few days. The Ministry of Rites will take the lead, and the Ministry of Household Affairs will take the lead. Jointly submit a copy of the book, and I'll see and talk about it later!"

Got it!

There was a gleam in Hu Wei's eyes, and he cupped his hands.

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

This is what he wants.

Anyway, His Majesty is a wise monarch.

This kind of thoughtfulness that one can know the elegant meaning of listening to string songs is not something that an ordinary king can do.

The rectification of clan affairs does not involve a wide range of areas, but the impact is not small, and the difficulty is no less difficult than rectification of military settlements.

Therefore, it must be brought together to bear the burden.

King Min took away part of the pressure, but the most difficult part is still here in the Ministry of Rites, so we need to continue to find someone to take the blame.

Although Hu Wei mentioned so many yamen, such as the Ministry of Punishment, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Ministry of Households, in fact, there is only one core, and that is the Ministry of Households.

Because once this matter is completed, the household department will benefit the most.

It can even be said that, in terms of motivation for reform, the Ministry of Households is more motivated than the Ministry of Rites.

There is no other way, who will let the Ministry of Accounts take care of the money!
Daming wants to talk about the two most expensive places, one is the frontier army, and the other is the clan.

However, Daming's taxation system is quite special.

The Ministry of Households can still control the military expenses of the frontier army as long as they think about it, but the Ministry of Households can't control the Lumi of the clan at all.

After the local taxes have been collected over the years, part of them will be escorted to the capital, and the other part will be directly used as Lumi for the local clan.

In other words, this part of the tax will not be in the hands of the transfer department at all. At most, an account book will be sent to make the department stare.

Nowadays, money is needed everywhere, especially once the disaster year arrives, then the biggest pressure on the imperial court will inevitably be on the household department.

Therefore, if the expenses of the clan can be reduced, the Ministry of Household Affairs must be the first to agree.

However, apparently the emperor also saw that, for the household department, they only cared about Zonglu.

As for other measures, such as strict security inspections, strict punishments, and prudent marriage, although effective, they cannot save money immediately, but will cause dissatisfaction with the clan. The Ministry of Household Affairs must tend to be conservative.

Therefore, since it is necessary to rectify the affairs of the clan, the Ministry of Rites must still take the initiative. However, Zonglu, the hot potato that offends people the most, has to be blamed by the Ministry of Households.

This point is actually in line with Hu Wei's idea.

Still the same sentence, as long as it touches the part of the religious affairs, the Ministry of Rites will not be able to avoid it no matter what.

That being the case, then this dominance cannot be handed over.

It's one thing for Hu Yan not to want to get involved in the disturbance, but since he got involved, it's impossible for him to do nothing.

What's more... A flash of reminiscence flashed in Hu Wei's eyes, but it was quickly covered up.

The suffering of the clan is also the heart disease of Emperor Taizong's life...

However, although this small expression was fleeting, it was still captured by Zhu Qiyu, who was at the top.

Sighing in his heart, in the end, he didn't say much, he just waved his hand, indicating that the two of them could leave.

Everyone has their own concerns, only a certain household minister, who is still ignorant at the moment, has been stuffed with a hot potato unknowingly.

However, this is not Zhu Qiyu's concern anymore, he has already given the words to Hu Bin, although it is only an oral order, but for a person like Hu Wei, an oral order is enough.

If the will is really given, I am afraid that Mr. Hu will still feel that he is restricted from exerting himself!

After the figures of the two disappeared into the palace, Shu Liang, who had been waiting by the side for a long time, stepped forward and said.

"My lord, I'm almost ready..."

So Zhu Qiyu nodded.

"Change!"

…………

After leaving the Hall of Martial Heroes, Zhu Huixun was still thinking about what happened just now, until he bid farewell to Hu Wei and was about to walk to the gate of the palace, he suddenly remembered that he seemed to have forgotten something just now.

Yes, that's right, it's the unlucky father and son who are still standing outside!

Although he said that he was summoned by the emperor this time, when he came, he seemed to say that he would intercede for them in front of the emperor.

As a result, now, being disturbed by the emperor, he completely forgot...

Hiding behind the palace gate, secretly looking at Yiwang father and son who were still teetering outside under the sun, Zhu Huixun felt worried for a while.

How can this be done!
At this time, a group of servants came from a distance, Zhu Huixun turned his head to look, and was overjoyed that the person who came was none other than the emperor's personal servant, Eunuch Huai'en.

"Greetings to the lord, the lord is thinking about how to deal with Prince Yi and his son outside?"

As soon as we met, Wynn went straight to the point, saluted and asked.

Zhu Huixun nodded, and said with a hint of hope.

"Eunuch, Your Majesty's side..."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty has already made arrangements!"

With a strange expression on his face, Wynn cupped his hands again.

As he spoke, he lowered his voice, and whispered a few words into Zhu Huixun's ear, which instantly made the latter's expression very exciting.

"Is this...really going to do this?"

Zhu Huixun's chubby face wrinkled into a bun, said.

"Is there no other way?"

"My lord, this is also for your own good. If you don't do this, I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain to Prince Yi and his son."

Wynn beckoned, so two little eunuchs came up, and then Wynn comforted Zhu Huixun.

"Don't worry, these people are familiar with these things, and they are very serious, and they won't make you suffer."

No wonder the Son of Heaven didn't mention a word when he was in the palace just now, insisting on waiting for him to come out before sending someone to chase him...

Zhu Huixun struggled for a moment, glanced at Yi Wang and his son outside, finally nodded and said.

"Then... let's do it!"

"You two, you can make a little alike..."

…………

Outside the Meridian Gate, with the passage of time, many people watching in the distance dispersed, but Zhu Yongyin and his son still stood in place.

Nearly an hour has passed, and there is still no news from the palace.

Shu Liang, that bastard, actually left just like that, leaving the father and son here exposed to the sun.

After this hour, it was noon again, the sweat on Zhu Yongjin's forehead had completely soaked his clothes, his lips were slightly dry, until now, he didn't even drink his saliva.

As for physical strength, there is good news. This Lord Yi's legs have been weak from the very beginning, and he can't feel his own legs anymore.

As for his son Zhu Mianxi, it was even more unbearable. His face was already pale, his eyes were full of stars, and his standing body was a little bit precarious.

This is not an act, but his body, which has long been hollowed out by wine, has indeed reached its limit after basking in the sun for an hour.

Seeing this situation, the thought that King Yi had just dropped could not help but arise again.

Now there is no Shu Liang to stop him, so can he be a little more presumptuous?
It is definitely not allowed to break into the imperial mausoleum of the imperial temple, but I have been waiting here for an hour, why don't I go back to the ten princes' mansion to rest for a while?
Even if he was punished, after all, he is the elder of the emperor. After waiting for such a long time to leave, even if the emperor wants to blame him, he will not be punished severely. It is better than continuing to stand here like this.

As soon as this thought arises, it becomes more and more intense.

Just when the instinct was about to overwhelm the rationality again, there was a sudden movement at the palace gate...

I saw a group of attendants coming out of the palace gate, the leader was an eunuch dressed in brocade clothes, although his face was a little strange, but looking at his clothes, it could be seen that his status in the palace was not low.

Behind him, two young eunuchs supported a figure in royal robes, who was staggering forward.

This figure was too iconic, so Yi Wang naturally recognized it at a glance. It was Min King Zhu Huixun.

It's just that Zhu Huixun at this time is quite different from his appearance before entering the palace.

The hem of the robe was wrinkled, and there was still a lot of dust on it. He limped when he walked, his brows were wrinkled into a zigzagging pattern, and two people supported him, but it was still very difficult to walk.

"This……"

So, immediately throwing the thought behind him, Zhu Yongyin immediately greeted him and said.

"Brother Min Wang, what's the matter?"

At this moment, Zhu Huixun was grinning in pain, and when he heard King Yi's question, he was about to speak, but Wynn on the side spoke first.

"My minister Wynn, please greet Prince Yi."

"According to His Majesty's orders, King Yi's father and son are domineering without reason, openly conflicting with the imperial envoys of the imperial court. From now on, ten princes' residences will be banned to think about their mistakes, and they are not allowed to leave without permission. King Min is in charge of the family's affairs. I will suspend my salary for one month as a punishment!"

After all, Wynn arched his hands at them and said.

"You two princes, after the decree has been announced, in the palace, the ministers dare not pass on Chengyu privately, so they can only find a few useful people to escort the two of you out of the palace. Your Majesty can't leave people around, so the ministers will leave first."

"Thank you, Eunuch Huai!"

Seeing this situation, Zhu Huixun cupped his hands and sent Wynn away.

"Just now, that was Huai En, the eunuch Huai En, who was newly promoted by the emperor. He served by the emperor's side every day. He was very favored and kind."

Seeing that Wang Yi was about to ask a question, he stretched out his hand to stop the other party's words, explained a few words briefly, and then spoke.

"It's not easy to talk here, let's go first, let's talk on the way back..."
