Daming Yuanfu

"Don't worry, although I can't give him a world, at least I can give him the greatest wealth."

The matter has come to this point, and the words have come to this point, Concubine Zheng knows that it is useless to pester her any longer, the emperor's words are the last grace.If I accept it, then Chang Xun will at least be able to be a wealthy prince in the future, maybe even the No. [-] rich prince in Tianzi.

"Yes, Your Majesty, my concubine understands, thank you for your kindness." Concubine Zheng sighed quietly, and replied in a calm tone.Although there was a certain relief in the tone, it was still more of a melancholy that couldn't be resolved.

Zhu Yijun looked at her and asked seriously: "Do you really understand?"

Concubine Zheng knew that she still had a deep relationship with the emperor, as long as she didn't encourage Chang Xun to fight for the heir, the emperor's tolerance for her would still be very high.Therefore, she was not terrified, but only showed some surprise, and asked, "Why does the emperor ask such a question?"

Zhu Yijun looked into her eyes and found that she was indeed calm but a little confused. Knowing that she did not understand what he meant, he couldn't help but look away and shook his head, saying: "I promised to give Chang Xun the greatest wealth, but you also want to give Chang Xun the greatest wealth." Knowing how big this 'biggest' can be, besides me, there is another person who can influence it."

Someone else?

Concubine Zheng's first reaction was the Empress Dowager Li, but she immediately realized that she was wrong.Although the Empress Dowager Cisheng was the emperor's biological mother, the empress dowager of the Ming Dynasty was not the empress dowager of the Han Dynasty. As long as the emperor was in charge, she would naturally lose her actual power, so how rich Chang Xun could be was definitely not something that the Empress Dowager Cisheng could influence.

Concubine Zheng suddenly came to her senses, and asked unwillingly, "Your Majesty is saying... Elder Gao Ge?"

"I know you are unwilling, but the matter has come to this point, you should not have such a conflicting mentality, because it will not help the matter, but will affect Chang Xun's future."

Ministers have rules for ministers, so the king has the way of the king.The reason why Zhu Yijun is willing to persuade Concubine Zheng today is largely because of the tacit understanding between him and Gao Yushi, not just because of their old relationship.

Even though Chen Yubi, the son of Chen Yiqin, who is one of the teachers of the former emperor, did not originally belong to the Real School, but in fact Chen Yubi has lost his status as an independent faction since the war between Yunnan and Burma. A member of the Practical School—or, even if he is not a Practical School, he must belong to the "High Party".

Soldiers and horses, of course, mainly refers to the Ministry of War, but not entirely, at least it also includes the Governor’s Mansion of the Five Armies (Note: The imperial guards belong to the Governor’s Mansion of the Five Armies, but the Minister of Military Affairs of the Ministry of War also leads the Beijing Camp) and Jinyiwei, etc. .

Outside Jinyiwei is the Mansion of the Commander-in-Chief of the Five Armies, or in other words, the most powerful force currently held by the Mansion of the Commander-in-Chief of the Five Armies - the Imperial Guard.There is no doubt that the Imperial Guard was created by Gao Yushi alone, or he and Qi Jiguang jointly created it.In any case, the Imperial Guard was deeply influenced by Gao Pragmatism, not to mention that the current commander of the Imperial Guard has been taken over by Ma Gui—no one can see the word "Gao" on Ma Gui's forehead.

Of course, Zhu Yijun is not worried that the Imperial Guards will do things like rebellion. After all, half of the tiger charms needed to mobilize the Imperial Guards have always been in the palace. Mobilize them.

There is a doubt here. I don’t know whether you can be called Ti Shuai only after you have the title of the governor, or you can be called Ti Shuai only after you become the commander of Jin Yiwei. However, judging from the order of records in "Records", I personally prefer the latter. ]
In other words, except for Wang Zhizhen, who was appointed by the emperor as the left governor in charge of the guards, Gao Wushi had already put aside his relationship with Jin Yiwei.As for Wang Zhizhen, he also offered to resign after that incident, but the emperor refused.On the one hand, Wang Zhizhen's handling ability is still very strong, and Zhu Yijun is very easy to use. On the other hand, Zhu Yijun doesn't want to make it so obvious, as if the whole thing is aimed at high pragmatism.

In a certain period of time before, the three main "soldiers and horses" of the Ministry of War, the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, and the Jinyiwei all had a deep relationship with Gao Yushi.Later, under the hint of the emperor, Gao Wushi voluntarily withdrew most of his influence in Jinyiwei, and now only Wang Zhizhen, the left governor of Jinyiwei, remains.

Zhu Yijun in the original history may not have planned to save face from the beginning, but he could not get face in the fight with the civil official group, because if you want face, you will lose your actual interests; You have to consider the matter of face.Even to a certain extent, Zhu Yijun's biggest demand now is to save face - the eternal fame has become his highest demand.

If the former Daming Household Department was a government office that seemed important but actually had limited power, and a lot of financial power in the world was divided by the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Industry and other government offices, then the Household Department after the restructuring of the Great Household Department has really become a control office. It is not an exaggeration to say that the giant arm of wealth and power in the world can cover the sky with one hand.Even... More than [-]% of the amount of money that can be collected from internal funds has to go through the hands of the household department first.

The words were so clear that Concubine Zheng finally understood the meaning of the emperor thoroughly. She closed her eyes resignedly, and said with a wry smile: "The concubine knows, if Chang Xun wants to be rich and honored in the future, even if he is wronged this time, he can only fight." Losing teeth and swallowing blood, and even begging Mr. Gao Ge in turn..."

[Note: The highest position of the Jinyiwei is the commander of the Jinyiwei, but because it is often necessary to add officials, so the position of the five army governors is added. Usually, the governor of the five armies is added first, followed by the governor of the right, then the governor of the right, and finally the governor of the left.In terms of official position, it is generally called "the guard of a certain governor's mansion".

No matter what you want to do, as long as this person is under the banner of justice and orthodoxy, he may talk to the imperial guards, and there is only one premise: this person has enough influence on the imperial guards, and the imperial guards are willing to fight against the chaos in the capital. Take his word for it.

When the crown prince becomes an adult, it means that there will be no minister Gu Ming who will take over the power of the world. With Jinyiwei and Jingjun at this time, the capital will not be chaotic, the imperial guards will not be used by others, and everything will be as usual.

Zhu Yijun suddenly smiled lightly, and there was an inexplicable meaning in the laughter: "Things in the world are complicated, but in the final analysis, the most important things are nothing more than those: civil affairs, soldiers and horses, money and food. Civil affairs and soldiers and horses Means power, and money and food are the basis for maintaining them."

Gao Wushi did maintain influence over the Imperial Guards, but as early as the early days of the establishment of the system, he divided the military talismans into two according to the old practice. In the hands of the emperor.

However, Qi Jiguang has now been made an earl. As a noble military official, he must abide by some old rules, such as not commanding troops if there is no war.Therefore, although his influence on the Imperial Guard is great, from a political point of view, even if his subjective will is excluded, it is difficult for him to use this influence objectively.

Concubine Zheng also knew this, and indeed she had no choice but to admit it, so she could only lightly nod her head and say: "This concubine knows."

It is true that the two servants of the Ministry of Officials are not all controlled by the Real School. Over the years, not only the neutral school's ministers have often served, but occasionally even the Mind School's ministers, but so what?Can it change the fact that Daming Quanwu is deeply influenced by Mr. Gao Ge?Obviously not.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Concubine Zheng let out a foul breath, and said, "The concubine will ask my brother Guotai to pay a visit to Elder Gaoge later."

According to the customs at this time, no matter whether the royal relatives or the ordinary people's family, the uncle can be said to be very close because he is the mother's brother, but the uncle's uncle is fine.After all, only the paternal line is traced upwards, so there is no reason for the maternal line to be traced upwards. It is true that the chaos is normal.

Does the emperor want face?Yes, the biggest difference between Zhu Yijun in this life and the original history is that he has face.

Zhu Yijun opened his mouth, hesitated to speak, and finally calmed down, and said in a deep voice: "Since you know it, don't say angry words."

And because Beijing belongs to the area under the jurisdiction of the Rear Military Governor's Mansion in the Five Armed Forces Dudufu's Mansion, the added officials are usually the hall officials of the Jiahou Military Dudu's Mansion.In this way, Wang Zhizhen's position at this time is "the left governor of the rear military governor's mansion and the guard in charge", which can be referred to as "the left governor of Jinyiwei", and sometimes the official official of the court will be referred to as "Ti Shuai", as there are many times in "Shenzong Shilu". Words like "Ti Shuai Wang Zhizhen".

Money and food are also finances, not to mention this.Since Gao Yushi became the Minister of the Household Department, the local official has demonstrated his strong financial management skills while actively expanding the power of the Household Department and completing the "restructuring of the large Household Department".

Wang Zhizhen and Gao Yushi are only distant relatives, and because they are the uncle's family, they are not in the five clothes at all [Note: The five clothes only talk about the paternal line, which is also the reason why men in ancient times could marry cousins. ], so although Zhu Yijun knew that they were related, he didn't care.

In other words, he handed over the power to the emperor from the beginning, and he just maintained his influence.Even if Zhu Yijun looked at it from the emperor's point of view, this situation was normal. After all, the big battles in the past few years were fought by highly pragmatic leaders. The general who can stand out and become the commander of the Imperial Guard will obviously come from his command. This is a matter of course and completely justifiable.

As for the power of the household department, there is no doubt that it is in the hands of Mr. Gao Ge, and the whole department is full of his cronies, almost watertight.Let's put it this way, even if the emperor can dismiss Gao Yushi from the position of Minister of the Household Department with a single edict, but as long as Gao Wushi himself is determined to sing against the emperor, then the Household Department is fully capable of playing tricks with the emperor, making the government decree Not out of Sijiucheng.

Civil affairs are personnel affairs, which are the duties of the Ministry of Officials.Since the first emperor ordered Gao Gong Gao Wenzheng to concurrently hold the post of Minister of the Ministry of Officials as the elder of the cabinet, it has been dominated by the Real School for 30 years.

Only high pragmatism can make use of this influence.It is true that he is honorable, but he is also a civil servant. He is one of the people who will not be regarded as a person who may rebel after the cabinet system is formed. Therefore, once such a situation really occurs, the high pragmatism is probably the only one who can mobilize the imperial guards. people.

Jinyiwei is the emperor's personal soldiers and the emperor's eagle dogs. They are not only the tools to supervise and deter the officials, but also the last reliance.Because of this, Gao Wushi decided to withdraw his influence in Jinyiwei at the beginning, and because of this, the emperor knew that Gao Wushi always held the bottom line and never crossed the line.

Who has so much influence over the Praetorian Guard?Excluding Ma Gui's own brain convulsions, there are actually only two in the final analysis: Gao Yushi and Qi Jiguang.

If this is the case, it means that Gao Yushi has never coveted imperial power. Although his own power has risen all the way, he has gained it through frequent meritorious deeds-this is the result, not the purpose. As long as the emperor wants to face, it is impossible So how about high pragmatism.

However, from the emperor's point of view, although Gao Yu's influence in the Ministry of War is huge, the Ministry of War is the least to worry about, just like what the late emperor taught him back then.

Zhu Yijun said half-softly and half-hardly: "It's not that you don't know who Daming has relied on to achieve the richness of the treasury these years... No matter what kind of mentality you have, you have to admit one thing: If I am not pragmatic, I will not be able to do it all these years." It is not easy to pay back the salaries owed to the officials by the emperor's grandfather, so why is the situation like this?"

Because of the previous conversation as a basis, Concubine Zheng grasped the key point of the emperor's words this time.It's not just about the fact that Chang Xun must have the support of Gao Pragmatic, who is in charge of financial power, to become "the richest prince in the world" in the future. The emperor's words also vaguely reminded himself why he couldn't use Gao Pragmatic.

There are not no solutions. For example, the emperor is also determined to simply replace all the officials in the household department. That is not impossible.But what does such a huge change mean?I'm afraid that the finances of the world will be in chaos for at least a few years, which will lead to chaos in other ministries and government departments-"The Ministry of War cannot mobilize troops, and the Ministry of Industry cannot start work." Who knows what disasters this will cause?Therefore, the losses caused by doing so are immeasurable, and no emperor would do such a stupid thing.

At that time, Longqing was already seriously ill. He called the prince to him, told him some of his experience as emperor, and finally told the prince: "In Daming, no matter how powerful a civil servant is, as long as you don't relax two points, you don't have to worry about it." Worried that this person will become Wang Mang—the factory guard and the Beijing camp.” [Note: See the last lesson in Chapter 053 of Volume [-]]
Needless to say, the factory guards, Gao Yushi completely withdrew his influence, and kept his hands on the ground; the Beijing Camp has been changed into the Imperial Guards and the Production and Construction Corps, of which the Imperial Guards are the combat part.

Finally, there is the Ministry of War.There is no doubt that the Ministry of War is actually still the key to mastering the world's soldiers and horses.No matter how strong the imperial guards are, they only have about 7 people, and there are hundreds of thousands in the towns around the capital, ten times that of the imperial guards.

However, this kind of influence may still play an unusual role at certain critical moments. For example, if there is a major change in the capital, the Tiger Talisman cannot leave the city, but the Jingbei Camp of the imperial guards is in the suburbs of Beijing, so you can see the chaos in the city .At this time, it cannot be ruled out that someone can persuade the Imperial Guard to do something.

It can be said that the Ming Dynasty wants to do something, but if the Ministry of Households does not nod, let alone the Ministry of War cannot mobilize soldiers, the Ministry of Industry cannot start work, and even the various ministries of the court cannot even afford the pen, ink, paper and inkstone for issuing official documents!

Of course, of course, the premise of all this is that the capital is in chaos, and the tiger charms and imperial edicts cannot leave the city.For Zhu Yijun, as long as there is no chaos in the capital itself, this kind of thing will never happen.That's why he said just now that the key issue is that he has to live at least until the crown prince reaches adulthood.

Zhu Yijun heaved a sigh of relief, nodded and said, "That's very good." After a pause, he continued, "Cathay is now the commander of the second rank, isn't it?"

Concubine Zheng said: "Yes."

"After the matter is completed, I will promote him to the left governor."

Concubine Zheng was inexplicably astonished, and said: "Your Majesty, there is no such precedent in this dynasty... a foreign relative has never served as the governor of the left."

Zhu Yijun waved his hand and said, "I'm going to talk about this matter pragmatically."
