Jinyi champion

Opening an arsenal was a plan that Zhu Hao proposed to boost Ming's industry at the beginning of Zhu Si's ascension to the throne.

We waited until Yang Tinghe retired before officially starting to implement it. This was also the implementation step Zhu Hao had planned for Zhu Si.

Sending the Zhang brothers out of the capital was also to prevent them from interfering with the half-public and half-private arsenal project.

Zhu Hao briefly talked to the preparation staff of the arsenal, and then went to the side hall with Tang Yin to drink tea. While resting, the master and the apprentice discussed the court affairs.

Tang Yin was not very supportive of the matter of the arsenal: "It's going to be done again, you're not tired, I'm tired."

Tang Yin thought that he himself would be used as a mule again.

Zhu Hao smiled and said: "What are you in a hurry for? Didn't you ask Jingde to help you? Let her handle the matter, and you can stand in front as a flag-raiser. This time, it's not just for the public, the weapons are used as military supplies, But it involves explosives, etc., which can play a huge role in civilian use, and the previous mining and railway construction have already made a good foundation."

When Yang Tinghe was in power, Zhu Hao was already promoting mining and building trains and railways, and almost all of these projects involved civilian use.

For a conservative minister like Yang Tinghe, no matter how much the emperor did, as long as it didn't affect Ming's inherent political and military system, it was fine. So in the past two years, Zhu Hao didn't radically engage in something that transcended the times.

Just a mine auction and mining tax system were forcibly blocked by Yang Tinghe.If Zhu Hao wants to change the official system, add some new officials to improve their eyesight, or reorganize the army as soon as he comes up, and engage in some new weapons training, then it is estimated that Yang Tinghe's attack on the new emperor will be even sharper. I am afraid that Zhu Si will add Zhu Hao couldn't handle it.

Now that Yang Tinghe has finally left, Jiang Mian's priority now is to ensure a smooth transition of power, so Jiang Mian will keep a low profile recently, as long as the emperor does not do things very out of line, Jiang Mian generally will not stand up to oppose, this will help some projects implementation.

"Just don't regret it when the time comes." Seeing Lou Suzhen entering the room, Tang Yin stood up to greet Lou Suzhen, and at the same time said something in a warning tone.

Anyway, he himself knew it, and he really didn't think Zhu Hao would listen to it.

"You two, the tasks entrusted have been completed, but I don't know what to do next, please enlighten me." Lou Suzhen came to ask Zhu Hao and Tang Yin for instructions.

It was also waiting for Zhu Hao to officially appoint her to manage the arsenal for Tang Yin.

Zhu Hao smiled and said, "I have already told Mr. Tang what should be said. Why don't you tell Mr. Tang?"

After speaking, he stood up, wanting to create a chance for Tang Yin and Lou Suzhen to be alone.

Tang Yin looked very humble: "It's better for you to come."

I am confused and don't know what to do, how can I clearly tell Princess Ning about her responsibilities?Since you kid made it up, then you are in charge, don't try to drag me into the water!
Regarding this, Zhu Hao could only shake his head, Tang Bohu, why are you so cowardly?

……

……

Regarding the preparations for the arsenal, Zhu Hao personally reported to Zhu Si, and still adopted the method of entering the palace to face the saint.

After Yang Tinghe retreated, Zhu Si acted without any scruples. Since it was inconvenient for him to leave the palace, Zhu Hao was allowed to enter the palace to discuss matters with him.

"...Respectfully, don't say anything else, show me, and help me teach this showy speaker a lesson, I want to kill these so-called Qingliu prestige!"

Zhu Si was full of embarrassment and put a memorial in Zhu Hao's hands.

Zhu Hao picked it up and took a look. He first saw the name of the person who played the role, and couldn't help but smile.

Xia Yan in Bingke Youzhi.

The content of Xia Yan's memorial is to oppose Zhu Si's recent series of employment measures.

It may be because of Yang Tinghe's official appointment, Zhu Si recently wanted to cultivate his cronies, especially the "inners" who came from Xingwang's mansion... The little emperor is nepotism. His political opponents wanted to remove and replace positions involving real power in Dongchang and Jinyiwei, and replace them with their own people.

The strange thing is that in the personnel arrangement, there are not only the guards of the Palace Guards, but also the maids in the Palace, the mother-in-law's father and brother, and even the tenants who cultivate the fields in the Palace will be arranged into the Jinyiwei.

To put it bluntly, Zhu Si lacks a sense of security.

As an emperor, Zhu Si probably felt that no one would stick a knife next to his pillow unless he was replaced by his own people inside and outside the palace.

While Zhu Hao was looking at the contents of the memorial, Zhu Si was still scolding.

"... Is there a problem with my employment? How Dongchang and Jinyiwei arrange it is my family's business. Who I want to use and who I don't want to use is all a matter of my words. What does it matter to him as a speech officer? Lian Ge, Mr. Shang Shu hasn't said anything yet, it seems like he is a loyal minister in the court."

After reading it, Zhu Si closed the memorial and said, "How does Your Majesty plan to deal with it?"

"It's up to you."

Zhu Si completely believed in Zhu Hao, "It's best to send him out of Beijing to a corner. I don't want to hear his name again from now on."

Zhu Hao thought about it.

In the early years of Jiajing, Xia Yan kept a low profile and kept a low profile. Why did he oppose the emperor's actions so radically this time?
With Xia Yan's maturity and prudence, he must know that the emperor is eager to suppress his political opponents, and he is complacent and ready to fight. Are you so eager to show your loyalty because you want the emperor to appreciate your outspoken advice?Or let ministers and colleagues look at you with admiration?
Facing a future political opponent, Zhu Hao did not kill him easily, because Zhu Hao understood that many things were not as simple as they appeared on the surface.

"Your Majesty, if you convict him directly, I'm afraid not only will he not be punished, but outsiders will feel sorry for him, and even feel that what he did is right, which will be detrimental to your Majesty's reputation." Zhu Hao said.

Zhu Si twitched his nose, frowned and thought about it, and asked, "Does that mean that I don't do anything and let him point at my nose and scold?"

Zhu Hao shook his head: "I don't mean that, but your majesty may wish to imagine, what is the practical significance of this person's remonstrance? It can't change anything at all, but it's just for the pursuit of a good reputation. If your majesty doesn't punish him, instead If there is a reward, it will be His Majesty who wins the hearts of the people."

"Damn! Respect, you don't want me to really reward him, do you? By doing this, I know I can buy people's hearts, but I am the emperor, so I need to be so humble? Not only will I not be angry when others scold me, but I will also say, Are you scolding well? This will not encourage his arrogance, make him worse in the future, and sing against me if he has nothing to do?"

Zhu Si showed strong resistance, and now he is in high spirits, Xia Yan's actions are simply pouring cold water on his head.

Zhu Haodao: "Those who dare to speak, sometimes His Majesty can use it properly. For today's matter, His Majesty can first write and scold him to make him vigilant, and then find another opportunity to assign him to do other things... ...The task of the speaker is to help the country, Your Majesty cannot lose the big because of small things."

Xia Yan is the political opponent that Zhu Hao must face in the future.

In front of Zhu Si, any power and status may not last long. Zhu Hao must make some plans, that is, how to ensure his position in Daming when the opinions of the monarch and his ministers are biased.

Do you want to usurp the throne?
The risk of usurping the throne is too great. With Zhu Hao's current strength and connections, he might not have even the slightest chance, so he has to cultivate political enemies for himself.

To make the distribution of power in the DPRK look more balanced, and not to have a dominant family, this is exactly what Zhu Hao explained to Sun Jiao before.

Zhu Si was a little unwilling: "Then let's issue a decree and scold him. I can't punish him severely, and I still feel a little unhappy! When I arrange errands for this person later, I must give him some color...Everything is up to you." Leave it to Jingdao!"

Zhu Hao said: "I take orders."

……

……

Zhu Hao pulled Xu Jie down and asked Xu Jie to stand by his side, but Xia Yan couldn't rely on anything.

Xia Yan is not a Jinshi of the new department. He is a man of outstanding ability and is famous for his integrity and outspokenness. He has made certain achievements in the court.

What Zhu Hao has to do is to tie Xia Yan firmly to the big tree in the court hall.

Sending Xia Yan away may make him restrain his habits and turn around to cater to the emperor's affairs... This has been proven in history. Xia Yan looks honest and upright on the surface, but in terms of scheming and means, it is really beyond the reach of ordinary people, otherwise In the future, he will not be able to be the chief assistant with power over the government and the public.

Zhu Hao wanted to show Xia Yan's "loyal and straightforward" side as much as possible first, so that he could not turn in the direction of catering to the emperor.

First cultivate you into a positive model.

With the employment attitude of the current emperor of Ming Dynasty, the positive and typical results, just like Yang Tinghe, became the thorn in the emperor's eyes.

What the emperor wanted was a civil servant who had a clear relationship with the orthodox civil servants. Whoever did not follow the traditional concept of civil servants would be appreciated, promoted and reused. In history, the few chief assistant scholars used by Zhu Houcong basically followed the this way.

It needs to be used and guarded against, Zhu Hao knows that this speed is not easy to control.

After Zhu Hao told Zhu Si about the arsenal, he left the palace.

Zhang Zuo accompanied.

Seeing the emperor's anger, Zhang Zuo reminded Zhu Hao intentionally: "...Mr. Zhu, from our point of view, those ignorant speech officials can be punished by His Majesty directly. Don't let this kind of trend spread in the court." .Your Majesty is very concerned about employing people now. If those officials repeatedly protest against it, I am afraid that His Majesty will lose his temper, and the next step will be...you understand."

In fact, Zhang Zuo didn't have any malicious intentions.

On the contrary, Zhang Zuo still had the idea of ​​protecting those civil servants.

The emperor is now starting to panic.

The officials were disobedient, so they wanted to beat them. Now Zhu Hao opposed the beatings. When he came to Zhang Zuo, he thought that Zhu Hao was taking sides from the position of civil officials, but he didn't know that Zhu Hao had no intention of being with traditional civil officials at all.

Zhang Zuo wanted to say that if Xia Yan and the others were not transferred out now, he was afraid that the emperor would directly pick up the sword of Jin Yiwei and charge up to kill people.

For Zhu Hao, killing people is good, lest I make a move, let the emperor stand on the opposite side of the civil servants, then my value will be reflected.

But Zhu Hao couldn't say that clearly.

Zhu Hao said: "I understand, but even if you want to do it, you have to wait for another important matter to finish."

Zhang Zuo frowned, as if thinking of something, he smiled and said: "It must be a big ceremony, or Mr. Zhu is far-sighted, our family is ashamed."
