Daming: I, the emperor who trains the carpenter

Chapter 845

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

The little eunuch's voice displeased Zhu Youjian a little, he was frizzy, how could he be served by such people all around him?Are there not many eunuchs available in the palace?
"It's convulsive! Your Majesty dares to make such a loud noise inside!" Seeing Zhu Youjian's displeasure, Wang Chengen immediately scolded the little eunuch. In fact, it was for the good of the little eunuch. Will do more.

The little eunuch looked at Wang Chengen gratefully, and then said, "Your Majesty, Zhang Shoufu is looking for you."

"Zhang Haogu? Why are you looking for me?" Zhu Youjian still didn't understand why Zhang Haogu came to him on his own initiative. After all, after he ascended the throne, Zhang Haogu worked in the cabinet except for going to court. Not at all.

But in the Tianqi Dynasty, this Wuyingdian was simply Zhang Haogu's second home.

Now that Zhang Haogu actually took the initiative to find him, could it be that he thought about it and planned to take refuge in him?
Thousands of thoughts flashed through Zhu Youjian's mind for a moment, and Zhang Haogu's voice came from outside the door: "There is no need to report, the pavilion has arrived."

Before the words were finished, Zhang Haogu walked in. Wang Chengen originally wanted to reprimand Zhang Haogu for not observing the etiquette of the emperor and ministers, and for being disrespectful before the emperor, but after thinking about it, he silently retreated to the side.

Not to mention Wang Cheng'en, the other eunuchs and court ladies also obediently stepped aside, keeping their heads down.

This made Zhu Youjian's face extremely ugly. It's fine if he doesn't listen to the emperor tomorrow, but the palace should be the emperor's private land, right?

Why do people here fear Zhang Haogu? !
Wearing the seven-beam gold thread Wusha crown and the vermilion four-claw hornless python dragon suit, Zhang Haogu has a calm expression.

"Zhang, what's the matter with Yuanfu?" Zhu Youjian changed his tone when he arrived.

"I just want to ask Your Majesty, why did you let Mingzheng of Dongpu and those nobles of Dongpu go." Zhang Haogu said.

Zhu Youjian frowned: "It's because of this? How about a few barbarian courtiers, let them go back? Daming is a country of etiquette, and they have already surrendered. Why not let them go back to promote the kindness, benevolence and righteousness of Daming?"

"What's more, Dongpu hangs alone overseas, so what's the benefit to Daming?"

Zhang Haogu looked at Zhu Youjian. He looked down on Zhu Youjian from the beginning, and now he even looked down on Zhu Youjian. Zhu Youjian had political sensitivity, but not much.As for the overall strategy?He is an emperor who can't even open his eyes to see the world, how can he see the big picture?

He has held power for seventeen years, changed so many chief assistants and local governors, beheaded so many people, and assembled half a company of the new army with a cabinet bachelor, but what did he do?

When his elder brother was in power, Daming, who was able to persevere even if he was playing around, let him collapse, so he deserved to give his elder brother the temple name of Shangxi Zong!
Looking at Zhu Youjian, Zhang Haogu suddenly felt a little tired. He didn't plan to teach a new emperor anymore. After spending several years of hard work teaching an emperor, Zhang Haogu had already tried it.

"Ugh"

Zhang Haogu sighed: "The first emperor and his ministers planned day and night to win the overseas land for Ming. The land of Dongying has more than three million households, which is comparable to Nanyang. It is also a country from the east, which can help Ming. Go east to the ocean and expand overseas.”

"Da Ming not only wants to go to the South Seas, but also to the East Seas, to travel all over the world, and survey the universe. It's a good thing that His Majesty has ideas, but I hope to communicate more with my ministers in the future."

Zhu Youjian's eyes widened: "I have to make an order, and you still need to agree to it?"

Zhang Haogu said calmly: "The imperial decree without the cabinet's signature and seal is a coercive edict, and the imperial court will naturally not follow it."

"However, your Majesty can rest assured that I have already ordered Jin Yiwei to go after Mingzheng and the others, and I will definitely not let His Majesty make a mistake to spoil the plan. There are still many affairs in the cabinet, and I will resign first."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Haogu turned and left without dragging his feet, while the eunuchs and maids in the Hall of Martial Arts buried their heads deeply.

Zhu Youjian didn't slam the table until he watched Zhang Haogu leave the Hall of Martial Arts: "He's threatening me! I'm the emperor of Ming Dynasty! How dare Zhang Haogu treat me like this! This is deceiving the emperor! A traitor ! Traitor!"

Wang Chengen was so frightened that he hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, be careful with your words, walls have ears!"

"Are I afraid of him?!" Zhu Youjian roared, and then subconsciously lowered his voice, "Damn traitor, this living Cao Cao, I will want it sooner or later."

As he spoke, Zhu Youjian's voice became weaker and weaker, while the eunuchs and maids in the palace all lowered their heads, pretending that they didn't hear anything.

In the evening, just as Zhang Haogu left the cabinet, he met a young eunuch at the Meridian Gate. The moment the two passed by, a note was delivered to Zhang Haogu.

Lu Xiangsheng and Zhang Ruitu saw something and pretended not to see it. After leaving the palace, the group went directly to Zhang Haogu's house.

At this moment, Zhang Haogu unfolded the note, looked at the content on it and smiled, then ignited the note and watched it turn into ashes.

"Is there any news from the palace?" Zhang Ruitu asked.

Zhang Haogu smiled lightly: "Your Majesty said that I am living Cao Cao."

Zhang Ruitu frowned: "Your Majesty has a deep prejudice against us, Baorui, we have to make preparations early."

"What do you think of Jiandou?" Zhang Haogu looked at Lu Xiangsheng again.

Lu Xiangsheng said: "At present we have the upper hand, and the New Deal can still be maintained, but now that he is in power, his cronies and old parties will continue to appear. After all, he is the emperor. How long will the New Deal last?"

Yes, how long can the New Deal last?

And if the New Deal dies, will the New Party still exist?
"Baorui, we need to make plans early. If we can't act in time, we will be the ones who regret it later." Zhang Ruitu said.

Zhang Haogu shook his head: "Now, the emperor regards me as Cao Cao, some people regard me as Wang Mang, and some people may think that I want to be Huo Guang."

"Then what is Baorui planning to do? Could it be Duke Zhou?" Lu Xiangsheng asked.

Zhang Haogu laughed: "We don't deserve anything, whether it's Cao Cao, Wang Mang, Huo Guang, or Zhou Gong. These heroes are too far away from us. Today's Zhang Haogu is just Zhang Haogu. The world The one and only Zhang Haogu is here."

Just as he was talking, Huang Zongxi walked in: "Ming Gong, Commander Tian Du has received news that Mingzheng and the others have been intercepted. Several Dongying warriors who wanted to resist were killed on the spot."

Zhang Haogu nodded: "This is a good thing. It seems that the turmoil in our Ming Dynasty has affected the outside world. When the new king is established, some people in Dongpu are not peaceful."

"Bao Rui, if you act today, there will be many criticisms in the court tomorrow, so you have to be careful." Lu Xiangsheng reminded.

Zhang Haogu's face was indifferent: "Whether it's the criticism or the slander, sitting in this position, you have to bear it."

"I don't care about those young people. The current situation has already fulfilled that sentence. Sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat."

"Everyone can rest assured, I know that I am not just representing one person at this moment."

In the early morning of the next day, someone really took the opportunity to make trouble, bluntly saying that Zhang Haogu was domineering, he had no eyes on the emperor and ministers, and asked Zhu Youjian to punish Zhang Haogu.

However, before Zhu Youjian could show his strength, someone from the new party came forward to refute. After the two sides argued, the officials of the new party produced a lot of evidence to prove that those members of the old party were all corrupt and perverted, and Zhang Haogu was arrested on the spot. Take it down for interrogation.

And Zhang Haogu's decisive action also made the civil and military officials see the changes in Zhang Haogu and the new party. Today's new party has become more and more powerful to dominate the court.

Although the new emperor ascended the throne, but the new party is so powerful, what can the emperor do?

Regarding whether Zhang Haogu's domineering was finally left alone, Zhu Youjian was not reconciled and brought up the old matter again. He brought up the matter of the people in Sichuan and Shu killing the King of Shu, and asked the officials to come up with an opinion on how to deal with the people in Sichuan and Shu, and how to deal with them. How to deal with the counter-insurgency general Lang Pingyu and others.

But Zhang Haogu bluntly said: "Deal with? Why deal with the people in Sichuan and Shu? What's wrong with the people?"

"The king of Shu was at fault for this first, and those who were corrupt and perverted the law in Sichuan and Shu were the second. How could the people be at fault? And Lang Pingyu was successful in suppressing the rebellion. Talk about rewards for meritorious deeds, and you have to warn them. Is there such a reason in this world?"

"Zhang Shoufu! This is the court, why are you so oblivious to the emperor!" A censor stood up and scolded.

Zhang Haogu glanced at the censor: "This pavilion is the head of the auxiliary ministers appointed by the late emperor, and also the head of the cabinet. When you are the grand master and grand master, you should teach your majesty the principles of governing the world. Major events in the world , there is nothing better than people's livelihood, if the people are stable, the world will be peaceful, and if the people are rich, the country will prosper."

"Is there something wrong with teaching Your Majesty to love the people?"

"Tian Yushi, you also know that this is the court. When the pavilion is talking, there is no place for you to intervene!"

The censor surnamed Tian was scared by Zhang Haogu's words, so he quickly retreated to the team.

Zhang Haogu turned sideways and slowly glanced at the officials. The officials of the new party naturally held their heads high when Zhang Haogu saw them, while those officials of the old party, Zhu Youjian's cronies, and those in the new party who were vacillating and wanted to join the new emperor, Naturally, he lowered his head with a guilty conscience.

"When the first emperor was in power, he appointed the prime minister of this cabinet to govern the government. This cabinet and the first emperor worked hard for ten years. Only then did the Ming Dynasty prosper, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the commerce flourishes. Under the new policies and new laws, the four seas will return to their hearts, and all countries will pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty. To be proud, wherever the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty go, they will be invincible, and there will be an apocalyptic prosperity, and the Ming Dynasty will prosper."

"The first emperor has just passed away, and His Majesty has not been enthroned for a long time. There is a traitor in the court, Xiaoxiao, who took the opportunity to make trouble, trying to disrupt the new policy, destroy the new law, and restore the old system."

"Can this cabinet think that some people think that Ming ZTE is wrong, that the world is peaceful, and that people's livelihood must be difficult and the world is poor to show the dignity of some people?"

"This cabinet tells those people that the new policy and new law are not the law of cruel officials and bitter people, but the law of enriching the people and strengthening the country. As long as this cabinet is in the future, as long as this cabinet is still the chief assistant of the Ming Dynasty, it is the grand master and grand tutor of the Ming Dynasty. , the new policies and laws will continue to be implemented!"

"You guys have ever understood."

Zhang Haogu's voice was clear and clear, with a gentle tone. Zhang Haogu's voice echoed in Fengtian Hall, making all the officials bow their heads involuntarily. Even Zhu Youjian, who was sitting on the throne high above, did not dare to make a sound.

"I understand." The ministers bowed slightly to show their respect to Zhang Haogu.

At the same time, a thought came to everyone's mind, the current Zhang Haogu, Mr. Zhang Xiangye, is already the powerful prime minister of Ming Dynasty, right?
Since Taizu abolished the prime minister, there has been a real prime minister in the Ming Dynasty again, which is different from the secretary's authority bestowed by the emperor Na, who is the chief minister of the cabinet. This is the prime minister who can truly govern the government.

And Zhang Haogu, who already has the status of prime minister, what will he do next?
When Huo Guang?When Yi Yin?
"Everyone, do you still have this performance? If you don't have this performance, you can leave the court, please retreat." Zhu Youjian said, announcing his withdrawal impatiently.

After the court was over, the ministers watched silently as Zhu Youjian fled away from Fengtian Hall, followed by Zhang Haogu, holding the jade wat, and took the lead. Zhang Ruitu and Lu Xiangsheng, two cabinet elders, Zhou Yuji and Han Yaowei The general Chao followed closely behind, and the officials and generals of the new party followed one by one, leaving Fengtian Temple in a mighty way.

This is the first time that Zhang Haogu publicly announced his prime minister's government in the court, and it is also the first time to announce the authority of the new party to the world. From Zhu Youjian to the officials, they all felt the huge inevitability of the new party. blocking power.

"Tai Chong, Ning Ren, go and inform all colleagues in Beijing that we need to hold a meeting." Zhang Haogu has already started to make other plans. The first thing he has to do is to combine Datong Academy and the New Party more closely , and then form a new organization.

In [-] A.D., the first year of Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Haogu called all the colleagues of the New Party in Beijing to hold a meeting, and chose the meeting place in a garden in Xiyuan.

Officials and generals of the New Party in Beijing, merchants and literati gathered here.

Including Zhang Ruitu, Minister of the Ministry of Rites of the Cabinet University, Lu Xiangsheng, Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs of the Cabinet University, Xu Guangqi, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, Yuan Yingtai, Governor of Shandong, Shi Kefa, Governor of Gansu and Shaanxi, Tan Yong, Governor of Zhejiang, Zhou Jinyong, Governor of Henan, Wang Wenyan, Governor of Jiangnan, Huang Liqing, Governor of Hunan, and Governor of Hubei Yuan Keli, Yuan Chonghuan, Governor of Liaoning, Cheng Wenyun, Governor of Jilin, Cao Wenzhao, Governor of Heihe, Chen Yawan, Governor of Monan, Zheng Hong, Governor of Mobei, Zhao Yuqi, General of the New Army, Zhou Yuji, Wang Dashan, Han Yaowei, Fang Yunchu, Sun Yuanhua, Qi Yuangong and many others participated.

Half of the governors of the 24 provinces of Ming Dynasty participated, and almost all the generals and governors of the towns participated.

These people originally planned to leave after staying in the capital for a month, but when they heard that Zhang Haogu was going to hold a meeting, they all stopped and stayed.

Zhang Haogu chatted with these high-level backbones of the new party about the current situation, discussed the future development, and established it, reorganized and merged Datong Academy and the Reform Party, and changed it to Datong Society. The platform is Datong in the world.

In the future, there will be no so-called new party. It will be full of great sympathy party members who advocate the new policy, implement new policies, pursue practical learning, promote progress, and open their eyes to see the world.

The prestige of Zhang Haogu and the momentum he gathered at this meeting made Zhu Youjian in the palace feel extremely worried. Zhang Haogu said that the next half of the world will be turbulent. Is this world still the Zhu family? ?

And Qian Qianyi sighed deeply after hearing this, whether it is the New Party or the Datong Party, with such a powerful force, how can he contend with it?In the future, it seems that we still have to cooperate with the emperor a lot.

The Datong Society and the Datong Party made it so powerful that the emperor was afraid and all the officials were worried. Even there were some voices inside the Datong Society: Now that we have such power, why don’t we just empty the emperor or abolish the emperor?

Otherwise, what should we do when the emperor gains real power in the future?

For these voices, Zhang Haogu just laughed it off. Doesn't he know these things?

When the Datong Club was established, the Reform Party was officially changed to the Datong Party, and Datong Academy became the cradle of the Datong Party members, Zhu Youjian’s voice has been much quieter recently, and he seldom gets angry in the palace, for fear of being arrested If there are any traces, the emperor himself will fall into the water inexplicably.

At the same time, the court affairs also began to be fully transferred to the Datong Party. The Datong Party members led by Zhang Haogu, Lu Xiangsheng, and Zhang Ruitu completely took over the cabinet and began to take over all important military and political affairs of the Ming Dynasty.

That is to say, when this area was thriving, seeing that the Datong Party members could rely on the court cabinet and external governors to lift up the emperor and let Zhu Youjian honestly be his emperor in the Forbidden City in the palace, Wei Zhongxian found Zhang Haogu.

"Why is Eunuch Wei coming to me when you are free? You are very busy these days." Zhang Haogu said, and poured a cup of tea for Wei Zhongxian, "My tea is not as good as that in the palace, Eunuch Wei Let's have a drink."

Wei Zhongxian picked up the teacup and sniffed it, then said with a smile: "Master Zhang is making fun of me again. Is this tea from that tea tree in Sichuan? There is no one in the palace if you want it. Everyone says that Mr. Zhang is The first prime minister since the Ming Dynasty, with great power, has everything."

Zhang Haogu took a sip of tea: "If I really have everything, that would be great. You and I don't need to make such nonsense, so tell me, what do you think about coming to me?"

Wei Zhongxian silently put down the teacup: "Master Zhang, I want to take care of myself for the rest of my life. I am old, and it is time to accompany the emperor. After serving the emperor for so many years, once the emperor leaves, what is left of the servants? Now Zhang Xiang, you are entrusted by the emperor, and the servants are sandwiched between you and the new emperor, you are not human inside and out."

"My servant has had enough of staying in the palace, and now I want to go back to the mountain in my hometown. I have also saved some gold and silver over the years, and I have some fields at home. I want to go back and become a rich man."

Zhang Haogu nodded: "I knew from the fact that you didn't attend our conference that day that you wanted to retire."

Wei Zhongxian said with a wry smile: "Master Zhang, the servant is not you, the servant is from the palace, the emperor's man, how dare the servant go if you make such a big noise. Right now, the servant is really tired and doesn't want to get involved reconciled."

Zhang Haogu looked at Wei Zhongxian and smiled: "I made such a big noise, Eunuch Wei, have you ever thought that you want to retreat, he wants to retreat, everyone wants to retreat, but can you retreat?"

"I know the weight of the burden on my body. Now I am sailing against the current and climbing mountains with heavy loads. I can only advance but not retreat. And you, Eunuch Wei, you have been branded with the brand of the late emperor, and you have been branded with us. If you want to withdraw, can you really withdraw?"

"Everyone wants to wash their hands in a golden basin, but Eunuch Wei, now that you control the chief inspector and I control the cabinet, we can be safe. If you step down, then you must not be the first to have an accident, but you."
