Daming: I, the emperor who trains the carpenter

Chapter 837 The relationship between master and apprentice is completely destroyed, the angry Zhu Youxiao: Why doesn't Zhang Haogu die?

"Great victory in Liaodong! Great victory in Liaodong!"

"Master Zhang broke the Qing Dynasty, and Huang Taiji offered the city to surrender!"

"Great victory in Liaodong! Great victory in Liaodong!"

"The Tartars have surrendered, and the Manchus are dead!"

The knights with three red flags on their shoulders held the military report and rode their horses quickly through the pass, bringing the news of the fall of the Qing Dynasty back to the land of Zhili.

After galloping all the way to Funing, they quickly changed horses and people at the post station, and the new knight hurried to the next post station.

Along the way, from Shanhaiguan, to Funing, Yongping, Fengrun, Yutian, Jizhou, Sanhe, Tongzhou, and finally into Shuntianfu, at the same time, the news of the demise of the Manchu Qing began to spread rapidly in Zhili: the Manchu Qing perished, and the Ming Dynasty Win again!

All of a sudden, the people in the entire land of Zhili cheered and jumped for joy. The Manchus were dead, and the people no longer had to worry about the threat of the Tartars!
Since Xuande, the Ming Dynasty has never been threatened by the northern Tartars. The vast northern territory of the Ming Dynasty, whether it is Zhili or Shanxi and Shandong, is within the threat range of the Tartars.

After Xuande, the military power of the Ming Dynasty declined greatly. Even if there were Chenghua, Wuzong, and the three major signs of the Wanli period, these were short-lived.

However, the Apocalypse Dynasty actually and completely solved the border troubles in the north. Whether it was the tribes in the Monan Grassland or the Manchurian Jurchen in Liaodong, they were no longer a threat to Ming Dynasty.

This is good news that made countless people who had been invaded by the Tartars weep with joy.

Today, the Ming dynasty sweeps Monan Mongolia, pacifies Liaodong, destroys Annan, travels to Nanyang, conquers the Dongyi, and finally wipes out all foreign enemies today, allowing the Ming Dynasty to reach its heyday again. The territory, population, military, and influence far surpass Yongle .

How can the people be unhappy, how can they be unhappy?
Although it was said that some conflicts broke out between the emperor and Mr. Zhang at the beginning of the year, didn't His Majesty the emperor also say that it was just some small conflicts?
The common people deeply believed that as long as Emperor Tianqi and Zhang Xiangye were still there, Ming Dynasty would continue to prosper and the common people would have a peaceful life.

The economic turmoil at the beginning of the year meant nothing at all, but now a war against Qing Dynasty has stimulated a rapid economic recovery.

The foundation laid by the New Party over the years is so good that the short-term turmoil is not a problem for the current economic and industrial system of Ming Dynasty. As long as there is a little spark, it will be enough for the economic recovery of Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, the people are full of hope for the Ming Dynasty, and they are full of hope for the imperial court. The people believe that what Zhu Youxiao said will allow the people to live a prosperous and peaceful life.

So the people spontaneously carried out the carnival. The people in Shuntian Mansion set off firecrackers and lit fireworks during the day, and various inns and restaurants even provided drinks for the guests to drink freely.

Daming's big victory, in the eyes of ordinary people, is enough to establish a good life for Daming for at least several decades in the future.

The people in the capital reveled to celebrate the victory of the Ming Dynasty, and the officials of the new party even swept away the gloomy atmosphere these days, followed by the revelry, and even took the initiative to release some news and rumors, such as the emperor said before that he would give Zhang Xiangye the king, for example Zhang Xiangye is the pillar of Ming Dynasty.
All kinds of rumors spread, and the people who didn't know the truth followed up to discuss. After all, Zhang Haogu's achievements are here for real, and Zhu Youxiao said it himself.

Now the common people are clamoring without knowing it, and put Zhu Youxiao, who had no intention of making Zhang Haogu king, on the fire.

So when the victorious knight entered the palace, Zhu Youxiao said "My heart is so comforting" with his front foot, and then he dropped something on his back foot.

Bang!
An exquisite Yuan blue and white flower collected by the court fell to the ground and instantly fell to pieces.

The splashed pieces of porcelain brushed against the scalps of the eunuchs and flew over, while the eunuchs knelt on the ground and buried their heads deeply, not daring to let out a breath. No one dared to touch Zhu Youxiao's thunderous wrath.

"Damn it! Damn it!"

"Threatening me, those rebels are threatening me!"

Zhu Youxiao is very angry. He has reason to be angry. He is the emperor, the son of Ming Dynasty, the Ninth Five-Year Lord, and the most honorable person in the world. His promise can naturally be fulfilled, but how to realize it depends on him, not being accepted. People are forcing!

If the emperor's will can be coerced and controlled by others, then what is the difference between such an emperor and a puppet?
The officials outside are celebrating and the common people are having a carnival. From Zhu Youxiao's point of view, it is a provocation!
Zhu Youxiao was deeply angry, and at the same time deeply panicked.

Zhang Haogu won the battle. Zhang Haogu not only easily solved the Jiliao Army Town, but also destroyed the Qing Dynasty in a short time.

Now the entire Liaodong region is under the control of Zhang Haogu, and Zhang Haogu still has an elite division with a total number of 30!
If Zhang Haogu really wanted the throne, Zhu Youxiao didn't know whether he would compromise or what.

He hates this feeling very much, as the emperor, as the supreme being in the world, he can't even control the future, he can't even control the court, he doesn't even know how to deal with Zhang Haogu.

Such a deep sense of powerlessness made Zhu Youxiao feel extremely disgusted and extremely annoyed!
"Damn it! You actually threatened me!"

"Is this world theirs or mine?!"

"Damn it! Damn it!"

Zhu Youxiao's whole body was trembling, feeling the veins on his forehead twitching.

Wei Zhongxian was so frightened that he hurried forward: "My lord, my lord, you must take care of your dragon body, you must not be angry, what will you do if you lose your body when you are angry!"

"If you are really angry, then you are following the wishes of those people? Emperor, you can't be angry. Only by taking care of your dragon body can you fight those people."

Hearing Wei Zhongxian's words, Zhu Youxiao managed to suppress his anger: "You're right, Wei Banban. I want to protect my health, otherwise I'm going to lose my temper. I don't know how many traitors and traitors are secretly gloating!"

"I want to be calm, and I want to fight those treacherous officials and rebels with all my strength. If Sejong can subdue the full court's fierce officials, there is no reason why I can't do it!"

"My Daming is flourishing, how can I spoil my body so early?"

Talking to himself, Zhu Youxiao finally sat down, looking at the eunuchs kneeling all over the floor, Zhu Youxiao suddenly waved his hand weakly, and Wei Zhongxian quickly gestured for the little eunuchs to clean up.

Zhu Youxiao watched the eunuchs rushing to clean up the broken porcelain on the ground, and took a deep breath: "Bring me some tea, I'm thirsty."

A little eunuch hurriedly came up with tea, Zhu Youxiao took a sip, but sprayed it out: "Is this hot tea going to kill me? Come on, drag it down, and die with a stick!"

The little eunuch's face turned pale instantly with fright, and after a moment of sluggishness, he knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "My lord, spare my life, my lord, spare my life!"

Zhu Youxiao didn't look at the little eunuch at all, and said angrily, "What about him? Don't pull him down yet!"

Several guards rushed in and dragged the little eunuch out of the Wuying Hall. Up to this moment, the little eunuch was still crying and wishing Zhu Youxiao to spare his life, but Zhu Youxiao didn't even look at him from the beginning to the end.

The emperor's indifference and ruthlessness once again frightened everyone, and the rest of the eunuchs cleaned up more diligently, all of them lowered their heads for fear of somehow offending Zhu Youxiao and causing death. The eighth eunuch executed by the school.

After the little eunuchs finished cleaning up the broken porcelain residues on the ground and hurriedly left the Hall of Martial Arts, Zhu Youxiao sighed wearily. Looking at Wei Zhongxian beside him, Zhu Youxiao asked, "Does Wei Banban know why I want to kill you?" The eunuch?"

Wei Zhongxian shook his head: "I don't know."

Zhu Youxiao snorted coldly: "That eunuch is from the New Party! Do you know what this means?"

"It means that my every move is under the surveillance of the New Party!"

"That eunuch is obviously serving me, but he wants to be a new party, such a person with two ends, damn it!"

Wei Zhongxian shuddered, was Zhu Youxiao talking about that little eunuch, or himself?
After all, Wei Zhongxian himself is also an important member of the New Party.

"Forget it, you all go down, let me rest for a while, I'm tired." Zhu Youxiao waved his hand, indicating that no one needs to wait on him.

In the end, Wei Zhongxian and Wang Tiqian also withdrew from the Wuying Hall, leaving only Zhu Youxiao to rest in the hall, while all the eunuchs and guards were outside.

This is also a habit Zhu Youxiao has developed recently. Zhu Youxiao, who has become more and more suspicious, feels that there are spies everywhere around him, and he is afraid of repeating the same mistakes as Sejong even when he sleeps. A person is resting in the hall.

Resting alone in the empty hall, Zhu Youxiao felt that he was safer. If there were no suitable opportunities, Zhu Youxiao would have planned to perform "killing in a dream" to frighten the spies around him.

Outside the Hall of Martial Heroes, Wei Zhongxian had a sad expression on his face.

These days, Zhu Youxiao has become more and more moody. He executed ten eunuchs for various reasons, and changed dozens of guards in the palace. Those who were killed and replaced were all new party spies identified by Zhu Youxiao .

But if those people are some new party spies, Wei Zhongxian himself still doesn't know?
Speaking of which, the palace distributed land to the eunuchs and maids, improved the treatment of the servants, and treated the servants as real adults instead of slaves who were beaten and scolded. Wasn't it presided over by the New Party?

The New Party allocated land to everyone, raised their salaries, and made everyone a true individual. Then there is nothing wrong with the servants in the palace believing in the New Party. After all, wasn’t the emperor also a member of the New Party?

Now that the emperor has broken with the New Party, he has begun to clean up the so-called New Party members in the palace on a large scale. Sooner or later, people will panic. Those who are not from the New Party will probably be forced to join the New Party.

Wei Zhongxian was full of worries in his heart, but he didn't dare to say these words to Zhu Youxiao. Now Zhu Youxiao learned from Emperor Taizu very vividly. Zhu Youxiao's prestige is also extremely high now, who in the palace dares to touch Zhu Youxiao's bad luck?

At this time, Zhu Youxiao was sitting alone in the empty palace, silently looking at the victory report in front of him, and suddenly he tore up the victory report like crazy and threw it out: "If you serve the country faithfully, why don't you repay me?! "

"For the sake of the world, why not consider it for me?!"

"Zhang Haogu! Zhang Baorui! You call yourself a loyal minister, you call yourself a humerus, why don't you die? Since you are a loyal minister, a minister loyal to me, and my confidant, how can you not know what I want, and why are you still alive? , even against me?!"

"New Party! Datong Academy! They are all traitors! They are all traitors!"

"Damn it!"

After Zhu Youxiao vented, he slumped on the chair and panted heavily: "How did you solve the Manchus so quickly? Master Sun has been in Liaodong for so many years and hasn't solved the Manchus. How did Zhang Haogu solve it so quickly? ?”

"Is there something else going on in this?"

Zhu Youxiao was suspicious, and finally fell asleep from exhaustion.

The next day, Zhu Youxiao went to court early.

It turned out that Zhu Youxiao didn't like to go to court. He disliked the troublesome officials and these people who chewed on words and dragged their smelly and long book bags. He would rather do something more meaningful.

What's more, what can Shang Dynasty solve?
Aren't local affairs and military and state affairs of the imperial court all decided by the cabinet?

But now it's different, Zhu Youxiao suddenly fell in love with Shangchao.

He likes to see the officials kneeling in front of him shouting long live, and he likes the appearance of the officials singing in front of him, so that he can feel that he is a real emperor and he still holds the power.

"Long live, long live, my emperor."

Amidst the shouts of the officials, Zhu Youxiao watched the officials kneeling in front of him, and was silent for a moment before motioning for the officials to flatten.

Zhu Youxiao had already predicted what would happen in today's government, but he decided to fight the new party to the end. These courtiers dared to dance with the emperor. He had to prove his strength and prove that he was still the emperor in charge of everything.

Sure enough, someone soon stood up and asked Zhu Youxiao to fulfill his promise and give Zhang Haogu the title of king: "Your Majesty, the so-called golden words, your majesty speaks the constitution of heaven, and what you say is the law. Wang Xiangdai, now that Prime Minister Zhang has pacified Liaodong, His Majesty should also fulfill his promise to demonstrate the credibility of the court and His Majesty's majesty."

Zhu Youxiao looked coldly at the official who stood up to play, and asked, "Is there anyone else who seconded the proposal?"

Soon one after another of the New Party officials stood up: "The ministers and others seconded the proposal."

At first glance, more than half of the officials in the court supported Zhang Haogu as the king!
Zhu Youxiao's heart became cold in an instant, and the temperature above the court hall was as chilling as Ling Dong in an instant!

That's king!

It's Wang Jue!
When did Ming Dynasty crown his subjects kings?
In the Ming Dynasty, only the clan can be crowned king, how could Zhang Haogu and He De be crowned king?

He is not a clan!

Even Li Shanchang, the founding prime minister, Yu Qian who extended the life of the Ming Dynasty, and Zhang Juzheng who rejuvenated the Ming Dynasty, none of them were crowned kings. Why did Zhang Haogu become the king!
Zhu Youxiao was extremely angry. He looked coldly at these new party officials who stood up. These people were expressing their views and forcing the palace. They wanted to give Zhang Haogu the title of king for greater rights. I fight for power!

Suddenly an old party stood up: "I object!"

"Although Zhang Xiang has made great achievements through hard work, how can the Ming Dynasty's ancestral system have any reason to confer kings on ministers with different surnames? You can't be a prince unless you have military merits, and you can't be a king unless you have a clan! You are all ministers of the Ming Dynasty. Have you forgotten the loyalty of the ancestors?!"

Seeing someone standing up to refute these traitors, Zhu Youxiao felt very happy in his heart, that is, did these traitors forget loyalty?Are they Zhang Haogu's courtiers or my courtiers!
But immediately another official from the New Party said: "Isn't Zhang Xiang's first wife His Majesty's righteous sister? If so, Zhang Xiang, as a royal relative, has the merit of destroying the country, why can't he be crowned king?"

Some people objected: "The merit of destroying the country is not limited to Zhang Xiang? Does the Ming Dynasty want to crown every general who has the merit of destroying the country as a king?"

People from the New Party said: "This statement is wrong! If you talk about merits, Zhang Xiang's merits are far more than Ping Liao? How can the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty be separated from Zhang Xiang? What's more, Your Majesty has already abolished the ancestral system. The law may not be suitable for the present, and the old system of the ancestors cannot last for thousands of years. Since there is no old system of the ancestors today, why can't we confer kings to show the imperial court's pioneering intention?"

The old and the new parties are arguing endlessly over this matter, and Zhu Youxiao is also happy to see someone restrain the new party. Now that the new party is powerful, if it does not support the old party, the new party will completely control the direction of the court.

So Zhu Youxiao said directly: "Since this matter is complicated, let's discuss it later!"

After changing the subject in one sentence, Zhu Youxiao pointed the finger at the new party again: "I recently heard that there are people inside and outside the court who are domineering, who have no court law and order, and follow the lead of so-and-so. After hearing this, I can't help but wonder who is in charge of this world. ?”

As soon as this remark came out, many old parties immediately stood up and accused the new party of seizing power in an attempt to deceive the saints and cause chaos beyond the scope of the program.

The new party naturally refuted it, blaming the old party for lawlessness and corruption.

The two sides started to argue again, and the new party has many members and has actual evidence. Naturally, the old party is losing ground, but how can Zhu Youxiao tolerate the new party's continued development?

Immediately with the authority of the emperor, he forcibly stepped down and stood in line. At the same time, a group of New Party officials were dismissed and sent to prison.

After abolishing a group of core officials of the New Party, Zhu Youxiao carried out his own plan even more boldly, replacing the inner court guards, replacing the generals of the Beijing Camp New Army, dismissing a large number of New Party members from the central government and replacing them with candidates from the old Party , and the new policies and new laws are also half abolished and half implemented. For a while, people in the government and wild people are panicked, and the local area is shaken.

Apparently, Zhu Youxiao planned to take advantage of Zhang Haogu's inability to come back in Liaodong for a while, so as to clean up the capital first, so as to fight against Zhang Haogu.

But Zhang Haogu, who is far away in Liaodong, is concerned about the undeveloped fertile soil of Liaodong at this time.

"Ming Gong, the capital is so turbulent recently." Huang Zongxi said.

Looking at the land outside Shenyang City, Zhang Haogu said softly: "Because of this, I want to sit here in Liaodong. If I am not in Liaodong, what are we left with?"

"Liaodong must be preserved, and I want to leave the soil for development for everyone."

"Tai Chong, contact the capital to see how many people can no longer stay in the capital, and arrange for them to come to Liaodong. Now Liaodong is waiting for a lot of things to be done, and when it is in urgent need of manpower, they are here, just in time."

Huang Zongxi said: "I'm afraid that the emperor won't let them go. The emperor recently dismissed many of his colleagues and sent them to prison."

Zhang Haogu said with a smile: "Then send them to Liaodong, it happens to be able to bring all the family members."

"Next, we will continue to move people to Liaodong. The land of Liaodong is vast enough to set up three provinces, and then relocate the population and industrial facilities, which is enough for our development."
