But before Zhu Zhanyong wanted to say anything, Zhu Zhanji immediately smiled and said, "Okay, I won't let you pay the money."

After finishing speaking, he seemed to think of something, and then asked the third child Zhu Zhanyong: "Where is the fifth child, have you been back recently?"

Talking about money, Zhu Zhanyong mentioned Lao Wu again, and Zhu Zhanyong couldn't help saying: "Old Wu? I didn't see you, brother, didn't you let him go to the army? Well, why are you talking about Lao Wu again? Brother, Silver"

Zhu Zhanji smiled and said, "If you don't mention the fifth child, where will you get the money?"

Zhu Zhanyong was taken aback when he heard the words: "Brother, do you mean that the fifth child has a solution?"

Zhu Zhanji nodded, and then said: "There is a place where there is a mountain of gold and a mountain of silver. If the old man can move these two mountains back, are you afraid that there will be no money to pay?"

As Zhu Zhanji's words came out, Zhu Zhanyong who was opposite was stunned.

"Mountain of gold and silver?"

This kind of words that only appear in novels and biographies is now being uttered by his elder brother in such a grand manner, the third child Zhu Zhanyong really didn't react for a while.

However, Zhu Zhanji, who was sitting on that chair, said: "In short, the money in that place is inexhaustible. With this money, let alone the list in your kid's hand, Just filling out another one for you is enough.”

However, facing these words of his elder brother, the youngest Zhu Zhanyong still couldn't imagine.

In this world, are there really such things as mountains of gold and silver?

If the other one had come over and told his third son these things, I'm afraid he would have slapped him already.

Talking nonsense in broad daylight.

But since it was his elder brother who said it, it seemed that he was not joking with him, the youngest was really thinking about it in his heart.

When Zhu Zhanji, who was sitting on a chair and drinking tea, saw his third child was about to move, as if he might rush out to find the fifth child at any time, he also hurriedly stopped him.

Then he carefully instructed: "If this is to be done, we must rely on the musketeers under the fifth brother. Not only that, but also keep it secret! Except for you and the fifth man, don't let other people know, otherwise Endless troubles."

With that said, Zhu Zhanji confessed: "You can do your thing with peace of mind, use the method I taught you before, pre-sell the house, and use the money obtained from the pre-sale to build a new building. This method is also It can be used in grain-producing areas and other places, have you forgotten when we were in Nanjing?"

"In short, think of a way to get through this period of time, and everything will be resolved when the fifth child comes back this time."

Seeing that his elder brother was so confident, the third child also nodded, and said seriously: "Okay, then I will stay for a while longer."

Seeing the solemn look on the third child's face, Zhu Zhanji couldn't help but want to laugh.

Just when Zhu Zhanji was about to get up and leave, the youngest Zhu Zhanyong, who was worrying about how to get over it, suddenly grabbed Zhu Zhanji and said, "Brother, there is something I don't know what to do. It shouldn't be said. San Yang from the imperial court came to me together before, and they talked about the persuasion of all the officials."

Hearing what the third child said, Zhu Zhanji was taken aback for a moment, then smiled again, and said, "This is the etiquette that the court has always had, you just follow them."

Zhu Zhanji really didn't care that much about this matter.

He also understood why the third child asked such a question.

After all, the emperors of all dynasties always had to be hypocritical when all the officials persuaded them to come in. There are still things like three times of evasion.

Although it is not a troubled time now, Zhu Zhanji's ascension to the throne is justified, but there are still rules that should be followed.

After all, the three words "jiatianxia" cannot be said on the bright side. After all, since ancient times, emperors have called themselves the sons of heaven, just like the so-called "following heaven".

It is equivalent to being appointed by heaven to come to the mortal world to be the emperor of this dynasty.

The reason why the third child hesitates is not that this matter cannot be said, but that if Zhu Zhanji also intends to be hypocritical, wouldn't it mean to force him to say such things in front of him now?

Is Zhu Zhanji going to agree or not?

Do you agree with him or disagree with him?

And the third child, Zhu Zhanyong, was also relieved to see that his elder brother didn't care about this matter, and only regarded it as a very ordinary thing.

The reason why Zhu Zhanyong was a little uncertain about this matter, and asked Zhu Zhanji face to face, was because there was no so-called prime minister in the court today.

The prime minister system was abolished during the Taizu period.

And without the position of prime minister, who is the most suitable person to do this?

Those ministers in the imperial court, no matter whether they have the ability and qualifications in the imperial court, Zhu Zhanji did not explicitly say who is the backbone of the imperial court, so if this is the case, those ministers of them ran out Hosting, isn't it a struggle for power and a suspicion of setting an example for the officials?

Therefore, in this case, they thought of Zhu Zhanyong.

Now with Zhu Zhanyong's official position and identity, it is most appropriate to do this.

After all, he is the younger brother of grandson Zhu Zhanji and a courtier. If he came forward, there would not be so many criticisms.

As for the fifth child, his qualifications and age are still a bit shallow.

In addition, it is not suitable to work in that army now.

But they felt that the third child, Zhu Zhanyong, was suitable, but the third child was a little bit worried.

How can I be able to act as an example for this group of ministers at this time?

Although his third child is more suitable than his fifth child, compared to those senior ministers in the court, he is far from enough to look at.

Therefore, his third son did not dare to agree, and now he is taking this opportunity to ask his elder brother what he means.

If my elder brother doesn't have any opinions on this matter, then I can do it myself, and it doesn't matter much.

Seeing that his eldest brother didn't care about asking this question, the youngest Zhu Zhanyong breathed a sigh of relief, but also continued to ask: "Brother, San Yang is not only discussing with me about the persuasion of all officials, He also said that he wanted me to set an example for these officials, but you also know me, brother, so I don’t have the strength.”

"But Yang Shiqi also said that it is most suitable for me to do this now, you see"

Listening to the words of the youngest Zhu Zhanyong, Zhu Zhanji thought about it carefully, and felt that this was really the case.

If the courtiers in the court are to do this, they will somewhat avoid suspicion. Thinking of this, Zhu Zhanji immediately said: "Well, that's the truth. Since they all said so, then It's up to you to do it."

After getting his elder brother's promise, the youngest Zhu Zhanyong also settled this matter.

The next morning.

According to Zhu Zhanji's previous request, after every official had completed the daily exercise, everyone came to Fengtian Hall.

Just when Zhu Zhanji planned to discuss with the ministers about the recent government affairs as in the past, he was about to ask everyone to go down, but found that none of the ministers in the hall left.

Just when Zhu Zhanji wanted to ask something, the youngest Zhu Zhanyong, who was standing by the side of the court hall, immediately walked out under the watchful eyes of the surrounding ministers, and stood in front of Zhu Zhanji.

Then, according to the words discussed with the ministers before, he began to shout to Zhu Zhanji who was sitting on the dragon chair at the moment: "Report Your Highness, I still have something to report."

Zhu Zhanji, who was still a little confused just now, suddenly realized in his heart after seeing his youngest son stand up.

What the third child said to him yesterday is still vivid in his memory, but he forgot about it after a busy day.

Besides, he didn't expect these people to move so fast. He just finished asking his opinion yesterday, and the court gave it to him this morning.

However, even if he knew what was going on, Zhu Zhanji, as he said, did not have the slightest pretense, and immediately said, "Let's talk."

Hearing this, Zhu Zhanyong, the third child, immediately began to shout: "Your Highness, since the late emperor passed away on his way back to Beijing from the Northern Expedition to Mobei, the princes have passed away one after another. As the saying goes, a family cannot be without an owner for a day, and a country cannot There is no king for a day, because there are many rebellions on the borders of our dynasty, His Highness needs to lead troops to suppress the rebellion, so it can only be done urgently. But now that the chaos has been settled, the country is peaceful and the people are safe, if a new king is not established, I am afraid that the people of the world will be uneasy. "

"That's why my ministers started to play, and hope that His Royal Highness Taisun can ascend the throne as soon as possible, so that the country will have a master, the people will have a king, and the world will be safe."

After finishing speaking, the youngest Zhu Zhanyong immediately knelt on the hall.

After hearing Zhu Zhanyong's words, Zhu Zhanji also looked up at the other people around him.

At this time, everyone also looked at him in unison, as if they couldn't wait to see something from his face.

Although Zhu Zhanji didn't intend to refuse to persuade like those kings, it was too hypocritical, but now the youngest raised it in this court, although Zhu Zhanji had agreed in his heart, but he said But still speaking politely, he asked the officials above the main hall: "What the third brother said is not unreasonable, everyone, what do you think?"

Hearing that Zhu Zhanji asked for their opinions, the officials above the court knew that it was time for them to appear on the stage. San Yang stood up first and said to Zhu Zhanji: "Three What your highness said is very true, your highness is the heir apparent established by the late emperor, the grandson of the current dynasty, and the eldest son of the old crown prince, regardless of his status or background, there are examples to be found and etiquette to follow."

"In addition, after the death of the first emperor, His Royal Highness conquered Mobei twice, defeating the [-] elite cavalry of Wala with a division of [-], so that the entire Mobei was completely pacified and hidden dangers were eliminated. The rebellion of the Nuergandu Si Jurchen tribal rebellion was put down, and the northeast land was stabilized. .Only this merit is already the best in the past and the present.”

"His Royal Highness Taisun ascended the throne as the emperor, obeying the destiny and the hearts of the people, it is indeed the destiny of the destiny."

"Therefore, I agree with what His Royal Highness said very much, and consider for the people of the world, so that the country will have a master, and the people will have a king. I also hope that His Highness will ascend the throne as soon as possible, so as to reassure people's hearts!"

After the leader Yang Shiqi finished speaking, Yang Rong and Yang Pu on the side also shouted: "Minister, second!"

At the same time, although the ministers standing behind them have been tossed a bit by Zhu Zhanji recently, they are not to the point of asking them to change their courts, so at this time, they all followed the words of the previous four. : "Minister! Seconded!"

"I also hope that His Highness will ascend the throne as soon as possible, so as to reassure the hearts of the world!"

Following the unanimous request of these ministers, Zhu Zhanji, who was sitting on the dragon chair, could be considered to have done this courtesy.

Immediately, after Zhu Zhanji gradually calmed down in the palace at this moment, he also slowly opened his mouth and said: "As a descendant of the Zhu family, it is my duty to guard the territory for our ancestors. As a royal blood, I will do my best for the people of the world. It is also my wish."

"Since it is so, all officials obey orders!"

"Yang Shiqi, I ordered you to be the head of the enthronement hall to supervise the enthronement. All other ministries will do their best to assist. Enthronement is a good thing, but don't delay. If something goes wrong, people in the world will criticize you."

Listening to Zhu Zhanji's arrangement, Yang Shiqi below stood up and shouted at Zhu Zhanji: "Yang Shiqi, please follow His Highness's order!"

"Okay, if there is nothing else, let's go."

After Zhu Zhanji said the last word, all the officials in the hall below also retreated one after another.

After leaving Fengtian Temple, all these officials had smiles on their faces.

Not only because Zhu Zhanji agreed to become emperor this time, but also because of the changes that Zhu Zhanji would bring to them when he became emperor.

Needless to say, those who have always followed Zhu Zhanji and are Zhu Zhanji's direct descendants.

After Zhu Zhanji ascended the throne, they were naturally the first to benefit.

As for those who have not been with Zhu Zhanji before and are not direct descendants, most of them are also the so-called princelings.

Although it is a pity that they are not close relatives, they are Zhu Zhanji's father's people.

No matter how you say this, they are all from our own family, our own people.

Even if the benefits in the future are not as good as those of Zhu Zhanji's direct descendants and cronies, it will definitely be beneficial.

And even those officials who are not Zhu Zhanji's direct relatives, who thought they were once princelings, although they seem to have no direct benefits from this time's ascension to the throne, as soon as Zhu Zhanji ascends the throne, they will inevitably be like As in the past dynasties, there is one emperor and one courtier.

The reason why their official positions have not been promoted at all is because they still have people on their heads.

It seems that there is a problem of class solidification in the entire Ming Dynasty, and the same is true in this small court.

If the people above cannot get down, the people below cannot go up.

Now their grandson, who is about to enthroned, has a shallow foundation. Although there are many people left by his father, there is a layer of separation between them, and it is impossible to really promote according to the direct line of cronies.

Then there will be a window period in between.

A period of instability of power.

For them, this is an opportunity to compete.

They who are in the officialdom know very well that in the officialdom, sometimes an opportunity is really hard to come by.Some people can't even get such an opportunity even after working hard all their lives, the more they go up, the more so.

And those courtiers who can rise to the top of the court, the opportunities given to them are very few.

Every time there is a big event in the court, there will be such a small chance.

If it was the past, no matter how well they did, as long as they were not as amazing as they were, it would be very difficult to get a chance for promotion.But now, if they can do some outstanding things and leave an impression in front of His Highness, they will have some chances when they change their official positions in the future.

At least when comparing these people with those of the former princelings, there is not much difference in closeness. After all, there are still some differences between princelings and grandsons.

Of course, not only that.

After ascending the throne, according to the rules of the past dynasties, there must be great rewards.

Rewards for power, titles, gold, silver and jewels.

These are all great things for their courtiers. Now that the grandson has agreed, this matter is considered a certainty, so how could they be unhappy.

Although these officials have different thoughts in private, for Zhu Zhanji, the situation in the entire court is very harmonious.

At least everyone is optimistic about Zhu Zhanji's ascension to the throne.
