Jinyi champion

Chapter 1043

Qianqing Palace.

The memorials on the emperor's desk were piled up like a hill, and Zhu Si hid behind the memorials. There were many pieces in front of him, and he picked them up and played with them one by one, having a great time.

Zhang Zuo hurriedly appeared next to him, and stood there for a long time, but Zhu Si didn't notice.

In the end Zhang Zuo took the initiative to break the tranquility helplessly: "Your Majesty, there is a report from the southeast."

Zhu Si looked a little displeased, as if Zhang Zuo had spoiled his interest, and asked with a frown, "Is something wrong in the southeast? Folangji people? Japanese people? Or Nanyang people? Or pirates?"

Zhang Zuo said: "Mr. Zhu sent Jinghai soldiers and horses to pacify some pirates in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, but a group of ships... disappeared! This is a detailed report."

Then Zhang Zuo submitted a battle report to Zhu Si.

Zhu Si didn't want to read it at all, so he threw it into the hill of memorials.

"Didn't you tell Jingdao? He is going to send a group of people to find new crops, and help me find gold and silver mines. If you tell those soldiers in advance that this trip may never return, who will go out? I guess Now people are almost in the New World, right?"

Zhu Si knows about this, because he has been indoctrinated by Zhu Hao about the content since he was a child, and has a general impression of the outline of the world.

This is the importance of cultivating from an early age. If you tell Zhu Si this knowledge after he becomes an adult, Zhu Si has already become the emperor, and because of his stubbornness, he will not listen to these contents at all.

But now Zhu Si felt that Zhu Hao was just fulfilling a childhood dream of theirs, and everything was taken for granted.

"Your Majesty, the families of these soldiers...I'm afraid they will have opinions on this." Zhang Zuo was very worried. "Now the guards recruiting soldiers from all over the country have complaints about this. If they don't calm down..."

Zhu Si angrily scolded: "It is the bounden duty of a soldier to obey orders. When soldiers eat the emperor's rations, I send them out to sea to expand the territory of Ming Dynasty. How dare they complain?"

Zhang Zuo didn't reply, probably meaning that the impact of this incident was very bad.

Sending a fleet to fight pirates and Japanese pirates, the battle was won, but some of the fleet and soldiers disappeared. This is more annoying than losing a battle.

The point is that civil servants will not let go of the opportunity to make a big fuss. If it is pursued, and others do not know that the overseas expedition is Zhu Hao's idea, then only the emperor can bear the responsibility.

This will greatly affect the legitimacy of Zhu Si, the emperor.

Zhu Si frowned when he heard the words, took the memorial back from the hill again, opened it and read it carefully, the more he looked at it, the more angry he became, and finally he threw it aside, "It's really brave, they dare to tell the matter to God , Don’t you know that this is a rumor to confuse people? I really should kill more people, so that those guys who specifically mess with me shut up completely!”

Perhaps it was because Zhu Si knew that the throne belonged to the sky, and many people coveted the position under his ass.

When the rule encounters a crisis, he considers using force to subdue him.

Zhang Zuo had no way of persuading the irritable emperor, so he had no choice but to lower his head.

Zhu Si waved his hand and said: "Give this to Jingdao, and let him have an idea! I don't want to listen to the nonsense of those ministers, and I won't go to court tomorrow!"

"Your Majesty, what's the reason?" Zhang Zuo asked.

"There's no reason, it's just that I don't want to go. Could it be that they still have an opinion? I've been very tired recently, and I want to take a vacation for myself, and relax for a few days. There are occasional vacations when the palace is being built. Do you have to do things every day when you are an emperor? Won't you be exhausted?"

After finishing speaking, Zhu Si was too lazy to guard a pile of memorials in Qianqing Palace, so he simply changed to another place to play to his heart's content.

Even Zhang Zuo felt that the little emperor in front of him was becoming more and more reckless.

……

……

Zhang Zuo went to Zhu Hao with the memorial.

Zhu Hao saw Zhang Zuo with a helpless face in the workshop. Although Zhang Zuo did not explain the current state of the emperor to Zhu Hao, Zhu Hao also knew that Zhu Si was getting better and better day by day without the threat of Yang Tinghe, Jiang Mian and other political enemies. slack.

When Yang Tinghe was there, Zhu Si was always afraid of losing his throne.

When Jiang Mian was the chief assistant, Zhu Si's fear was less, but he was thinking about how to fight for the great ceremony.

Up to now...

Zhu Si sat safely on the emperor's throne, and he helped him solve his troubles early on. This kid had no opponents, so he relaxed all of a sudden, and then entered a state of being lazy and inactive, thinking about pleasure and longevity all day long. In this way, what he, a traveler, has no longer had a positive effect on history, but a negative effect.

But now the emperor Zhu Si is still needed to stabilize the overall situation.

"Southeast coastal defense, so far, no major changes have occurred. Those ocean-going ships all have steam turbines, and the speed is guaranteed. It is estimated that they will return to the coast of Daming within two months. The harvest will be very rich." Zhu Hao said.

Zhang Zuo had a bitter face: "But what His Majesty is worried about is the criticism from the families of those soldiers and the ministers."

Zhu Hao said with a smile: "If there is anything wrong, you can push it on me, just say that this is what I advocate, and I am willing to bear the consequences with all my strength!"

"This……"

Zhang Zuo looked very embarrassed, he could tell that Zhu Hao deliberately took the responsibility on himself.

It happened that Zhu Hao didn't want to work for the emperor, and he had always been concerned about the manufacturing industries in Xishan, Yongping Mansion, and Tianjin. If he was responsible for this and the emperor sent Zhu Hao out, wouldn't that be what Zhu Hao wanted?
Zhu Hao asked: "Will Your Majesty go to court tomorrow?"

"will not."

Zhang Zuoxin said, you still know your good friend.

Zhu Hao nodded: "Then I'll go to court tomorrow. If anyone has any anger, feel free to direct it at me. Your Majesty actually doesn't need to leave the court."

"Mr. Zhu, this is... a major event that will break the sky, and it is really not suitable for you to come forward."

This, on the contrary, strengthened Zhu Hao's idea of ​​taking responsibility. He said with a smile, "As a scholar of the Imperial Academy, it is also a novel experience to go to the court to accept criticism from others. Otherwise, how can we show that we are sharing concerns for His Majesty?"

"Then our family... let's go back and report!"

Although Zhang Zuo felt that Zhu Hao's initiative to take responsibility would be troublesome, he still hurried back to the palace to inform Zhu Si.

In this way, maybe Zhu Si can change his mind and participate in the court meeting in the future?
……

……

Zhu Hao participated in the court meeting of the Ming Dynasty for the first time after he was promoted to a Hanlin bachelor.

That day Zhu Hao came very early, and he became the target of public criticism as soon as he arrived at the civil official's room at Duanmen. No one came to say hello to him, and they didn't even say anything positive about him, but they all looked over with murderous intent.

With the sound of the three-way drum, the civil servants enter through the left Yemen, and the military officials enter through the right Yemen. First, they are arranged in order according to their grades in the south of the Jinshui Bridge.After the whip was sounded, all the officials crossed the bridge one by one and arrived at Danchi, Fengtianmen. Six books.

On the left and right of the steps is the band of the Bell and Drum Division. Between the gates of the hall are "big generals" in full armor. On the left and right of the royal road and behind the civil and military officials, there are school lieutenants standing with swords.

At this moment, Zhang Zuo hurried out from behind the imperial gate, went to the front of the throne in the middle of the upper corridor, and said loudly: "My fellow ministers, Your Majesty feels the wind and cold today..."

Hearing this, many people felt that the emperor must have found another excuse not to go to court that day.

But then Zhang Zuo changed the subject: "I have invited the imperial physician to go for a consultation. He said that His Majesty is not acclimatized to the environment recently, and his condition is showing signs of aggravation. However, His Majesty said that he will come after he has taken the medicinal diet. All officials If there is anything, you can discuss it yourself."

The emperor is sick, and he still has to go to court with his illness?

Why does this sound so unreliable?

The more I listened, the more I felt that the emperor was making fun of his officials, but I also felt that since the emperor was pretending to be sick, why did he still play such a roundabout game?Just because Zhu Hao went to court that day?

It is said that the ministers can discuss it on their own, but the emperor did not come. On this occasion, no one wants to jump out and be the first bird.

Zhu Hao walked out of the civilian queue unhurriedly: "Colleagues, I heard that during the southeast naval battle, dozens of our Ming warships disappeared, and they haven't been found after searching for more than ten days. What do you think?"

"Wow!"

Many people looked at Zhu Hao differently.

You kid is really courageous. At this time, even if someone wants to come out to speak for the emperor, it shouldn't be you, a fledgling kid with no reputation at all.

What is your status, dare to speak nonsense here?

Xi Shu quickly reminded: "Respect the Tao, don't be rude."

Zhu Hao smiled and said: "Everyone, to tell you the truth, this battle is being led by me, and the dispatch of troops and other matters are also planned and implemented by me. If you have any opinions, just follow me. I may help you Clear up your doubts."

"presumptuous!"

Many speech officials can't see it. Although you Zhu Hao is a scholar of the Imperial Academy, this is not a place for you to play tricks.

You come out like this to flaunt your power and declare that you are responsible for this matter. What good does it do you?
You are not the Minister of the Ministry of War, the Minister of the Ministry of War, and you do not have the position of the Governor's Mansion. Why skip the court to decide how to fight the Southeast Sea War?
Seeing the anger of the crowd, Fei Hong stepped out quickly and said, "Jingdao, do you know whether this matter is big or small?"

This move can be regarded as standing up and stabilizing people's hearts.

Fei Hong didn't want to blow his beard and stare at Zhu Hao.

Because Fei Hong didn't need to fight against Zhu Hao, what he wanted was for Zhu Hao to act as a lubricant between the monarch and his ministers step by step. He didn't want to see Zhu Hao fighting against the officials.

Zhu Hao said: "If the fleet can't be found for a long time, the matter will be serious, but if it comes back, the matter will be minor. Mr. Fei Ge, is that what you mean?"

Fei Hong shook his head, but did not answer.

Liu Chun came out to chime in: "There should be a whereabouts, right? Or are there other arrangements?"

From Liu Chun's perspective, it was impossible for Zhu Hao to do something he was not sure about.

If this matter was planned by Zhu Hao, how could the fleet disappear?Even if the ship sank, there should be news, not disappearing out of thin air.

Zhu Haodao: "Everyone, the work of Jinghai was done by the first emperor. The sea area is unstable, and Daming's loss of marine resources will damage the interests of the people of Daming. Dare I ask you, you don't want to see this happen, do you?"

Jia Yong walked up and said, "Bachelor Zhu, you've exceeded your authority by doing this?"

I don’t want to argue with you whether this matter is right or wrong, just say who approved you for doing this?

The emperor's approval is useless, do you have the emperor's edict?Is there an official document for execution?If it's just the emperor's verbal edict, it won't help you at all to define the matter of exceeding your authority.

On the contrary, if the emperor really asked you to do this, then the emperor himself is also overstepping his authority, and without the approval of the court, he sent one person to transfer troops without authorization. This is treating the Ming court as a display!

Setting this precedent means that ministers will be dispensable in the future?
Aren't you afraid that we will go on strike?
Zhu Haodao: "This is not exceeding authority. Regarding the shipbuilding, it has been reported by the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households in the past few years. After the ship is built, the sea area is pacified and the coastal guards are used. It is only to carry out His Majesty's will. Do you need to ask for instructions one by one?"

When Zhang Zuo heard this, he hurriedly said: "Everyone, please be safe and don't be impatient. This matter...let's talk about it after His Majesty comes down."
