My uncle's name is Zhu Di

Chapter 90 Irrefutable charges

When Empress Xu arrived, Fatty Zhu immediately became honest, bowed and stood tall, as obedient as a baby weighing more than 200 kilograms.

Empress Xu took a serious look at him, and found beads of sweat on her temples, she asked, "Did your cousin bring you here to practice?"

Zhu Gaochi nodded, "Yes, he took a bamboo pole and drove me to run...My mother, my son dare not bully my cousin, but he didn't regard me as a prince at all, and he didn't respect my son at all. I still hope that my mother will make the decision for me."

Empress Xu rolled her eyes at him, "Are you promising? Have you learned how to sue? You beat Cao Guogong, do you need me to settle this matter with you?"

Fatty Zhu's expression changed suddenly in fright, and he hurriedly said: "My queen, that was also done by my cousin. He deliberately framed Cao Guogong, please check carefully!"

"What are you looking for? Our mother and I are guarding Beiping together, fearful and frightened. I don't think about food and drink, but you have a big appetite...I really didn't expect that you could use this to help you get rid of your gluttony, Jing Chang is paying attention."

Empress Xu reached out and patted her son's generous shoulder, and sighed: "Your father is brave and good at fighting, and the Xu family is also a famous general. You have two bloodlines, but you are getting fatter and fatter, and you only know how to read. Mother is anxious when she sees it, so don't worry about it." I blame your father for not liking you... from now on, you should work hard with your cousin to build a good body, learn how to bow horse, ride and shoot, and let me learn everything. From now on, you will be a good emperor with both civil and military skills."

Zhu Gaochi grinned, he couldn't get out of Xu Jingchang's palm.

In fact, he doesn't have such strong ambitions, he just wants to live a few more years, ensure his health, and be able to inherit the throne smoothly, so don't have another battle of Jingnan.

It was not easy for him to say this to the queen mother, but he just said: "Mother, my cousin is really good, but I always feel that he has such a great ability, and he is a bit aggrieved by me. Now there are rumors outside that someone is going to use Jingcha , remove my cousin from the post of co-administrator... Empress Mother, can you stand up and tell Father Emperor that no matter what, you cannot remove your cousin from his official position!"

This was the key point, Empress Xu turned her attention to Xu Jingchang.

"Nephew, Auntie asks you, do you know what the courtiers are doing? Do you have any plans? If you don't want to, I will use this face to tell His Majesty that no matter what, I must keep your position."

Xu Jingchang chuckled, "Auntie, I'm sorry to trouble you. If they have a way to take me down from the position of co-administrator, it will prove that I am not capable enough, and I am not worthy of virtue. If I rely on my aunt's protection and forcefully stay here That position is not very interesting. If you want me to say, I will be dismissed from office. I just stay at home to cultivate my morals. I have nothing to do. Here, look at my aunt, isn't this very good? There is no messy ears, no hard work in the case. This is how you look honored."

Empress Xu took a serious look at her eldest nephew. Do you want to say that Xu Jingchang is a person who is indifferent to fame and wealth?That's a liar!
But this time the undercurrent is surging, not to mention that everyone knows it, but it's almost the same.

But Xu Jingchang was just indifferent, as if he wished that he would be removed from the position of General Manager... It was a bit strange no matter how you looked at it.

"Nephew, if you really need it, just tell Auntie, Auntie will definitely protect you."

Xu Jingchang laughed more and more happily. In fact, Empress Xu is like a nuclear weapon to him... As long as Empress Xu is around, the Xu family will be as stable as Mount Tai. No one dares to take the risk of offending the current empress and lay a black hand on Xu Jingchang.

This is also the reason why the news keeps leaking that Xu Jingchang is going to be used by Jingchao.

Otherwise, how could such a cautious person as Jian Yi make the watertight matter look like the Three Gorges flood discharge?
He was afraid of suddenly removing Xu Jingchang and causing the empress' wrath, so he released the news in advance to test the direction of the wind.

After seeing this point, I actually understood the reason why Xu Jingchang rejected his aunt. Nuclear weapons can only be placed on the launch pad, but they cannot be launched.

Because of the existence of Empress Xu, Xu Jingchang has been virtually protected from many winds and rains. If she asks Empress Xu to act directly and break the court rules, it will be equivalent to throwing an atomic bomb into the court, and there will be endless troubles.

And Xu Jingchang can't just rely on his aunt to live, that's too useless.

"Auntie, in fact, my nephew let me say something crazy. It is actually not easy for the princes in the court to plot against me. The reason why I don't want to stay as the general administrator is that the current secretary of the general administration is getting worse and worse. With the atmosphere of the Prime Minister's Mansion, I come from an honorable background, and I am out of tune with the court. This is also the root cause of their desperate efforts to take me down."

Xu Jingchang saw the fire clearly, and saw the matter very clearly.

The power of prime minister has been restored, not to mention the courtiers, even Zhu Di is very jealous, so many people are staring at him, Xu Jingchang can not do many things except tossing all the officials... After working hard for a whole year, his pockets are cleaner than his face , with only that pitiful salary and allowance, he really lost his interest.

Empress Xu listened carefully for a long while and thought carefully for a long time.

Then she stretched out her hand, took Xu Jingchang's arm, and said with emotion: "Nephew, you are the grandson of the Xu family and my nephew, the next two emperors of the Ming Dynasty..." She pointed to Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Zhanji The two continued: "Their fathers also respect you, we are a family. You don't have to work hard. The Secretary of General Administration has worked too hard, let's choose a better position."

Empress Xu thought for a while and said: "You first inherit your father's Ding Guogong, which is a hereditary and irreplaceable Duke of the country... Then the Five Armies Commander's Mansion, aunt will find you a position. Also, Jinyiwei lacks a major governor , I will leave it to you."

Xu Jingchang couldn't calm down when he heard this.

I thought that what he asked Xie Jin for was already too much, but I didn't expect that Empress Xu would have something more exciting.

The Five Armies Governor's Mansion is directly in charge of the military power, and the Jinyiwei Metropolitan Governor is a position above Ji Gang.

Can this be given casually?

Seeing that Xu Jingchang was stunned, Empress Xu thought he was dissatisfied, and said, "The king of Han has told me many times that now he has more and more properties and more ways to make money.

Many nobles gave him money to make money together.

There are also internal funds in the palace, and I also have some money in my hands.It's not good to give the three sons to anyone, and they don't have that ability. I'll just give you all and let you help the palace manage the money. What do you think? "

Xu Jingchang was really speechless.

The Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies represents the military power, and the Jinyiwei represents the unparalleled intelligence capabilities. It is responsible for the royal property. This is the power of wealth, and there is a hereditary duke. This is no longer a matter of fame and fortune... This is Qin Shihuang's family banquet , all wins!
"Auntie, do you think it's a bit too much? Can Your Majesty agree?"

Empress Xu sneered, "If he disagrees, he must agree. Can aunt still brag to you?"

At this time, Fatty Zhu also nodded hurriedly, he knew too well the status of the empress mother in the family.

"Brother, you don't have to worry about anything. We are all relatives, serious family members. The queen mother trusts you, and I trust you too."

The little guy Zhu Zhanji also said: "Cousin, I also trust you... If you can get rid of Master Xie, don't let him force me to study every day, and I will let you be my prime minister in the future."

Zhu Gaochi glared at his hapless son viciously, "If you continue to be so naughty, you will never even think about becoming an emperor! Your father has the final say!"

Zhu Zhanji was so frightened that he shut his mouth obediently, not daring to say much, only his small eyes kept rolling.

Xu Jingchang smiled slightly, "Perhaps Xie Xueshi won't have so much time in the future."

Empress Xu came here to find out what Xu Jingchang said, and comfort her precious nephew by the way.

The result was unexpected, Xu Jingchang was already prepared, and Empress Xu was too lazy to do anything, so after chatting for a while, she returned to the palace.

The time has entered August, and Zhu Di has been on the throne for more than a whole year.

From the chaos at the beginning of Jingnan's success, to the orderly state, the state affairs have been on the right track, and the overall situation of the Ming Dynasty is gratifying.

Jian Yi, who is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, holds the big pen that determines the fate of hundreds of officials, and conducts the first Beijing inspection of the Yongle Dynasty.

This is a dead end for the officials, because according to the rules, the officials need to report their mistakes, and then the Ministry of Officials will gather with the Inspectorate to comment on the officials and decide whether they are superior, middle or inferior.

The upper ranks are evaluated and promoted, the middle ranks are neither promoted nor demoted, and the lower ranks must be transferred to demote.

If the problem is serious, he will be ordered to retire from office and dismissed from office to return to his hometown.

It's funny to say that this item was very difficult for Baiguan, but at the beginning of the year, Xu Jingchang forced Baiguan to make a promise. Now they only need to compare that and see how the results are, and they can smoothly submit to the officials. department cross.

Therefore, all the yamen passed smoothly.

Except for some corrupt officials who were found out, most people passed the test safely.

It's just that the vigorous Jingcha has the result of clearing the customs for everyone, what deterrent effect will it have?

Everyone is a top student, so is a top student worth anything?
After some evaluation, there is really only the Secretary of General Administration left. As long as the credit for tax collection is attributed to the Ministry of Households, there is no specific management. Since there is no specific management, is it unreasonable to say how much credit is given?

But here comes the problem again, no merit, no fault, why give Xu Jingchang a bad review?
This matter has embarrassed Jian Yi for a few days... Seeing that the time is approaching, this lord Tianguan really has an idea.

Jingcha has eight standards, namely: Greed, Coolness, Inaction, Discretion, Old Age, Illness, Impetuousness, and Weakness.

Jian Yi checked over and over again, Xu Jingchang definitely didn't care about the first two, and the last four should not be used indiscriminately.

The rest is inaction and imprudence.

Is Xu Jingchang doing nothing?

Jian Yi carefully investigated all aspects, and finally came up with a convincing conclusion... Except for Chang Chao, Xu Jingchang asked for more than half of his days off.

In other words, everyone else is working hard, and he is asking for leave to catch fish.

Also, Xu Jingchang often played chess and drank in the General Administration Department, was immoral after drinking, and urinated in the corner of the General Administration Department... It is true that he is not sincere.

These two are justified and irrefutable.

Jian Yi presented the results of the Beijing inspection, including the testimonials of the officials, to Zhu Di.

"The outcome depends on the will of the Holy Spirit."
