Chapter 308

Li Yi was just the head of the household department. How could he be able to accumulate such a fortune and even call all the cabinet bachelors?
There is only one reason, and that is profit.

The strength of King Wu's lineage is getting stronger and stronger, even surpassing that of the imperial court. This is undoubtedly out of the control of the imperial court and the control of civilian officials.

Although civil servants have never controlled Zhu Zhanhe, they have controlled the court. As long as the court remains unchanged, they will remain unchanged, and their interests will always exist.

Moreover, in the imperial court, the veteran officials were not only the most determined princelings at the beginning, but also the group of people who had the deepest grievances with King Wu.

If it weren't for Zhu Zhanhe, Hu Guang, Hu Yan, Jin Youzi and others would not have been expelled from the court, and these people were all very high-status people. If they could be retained until now, it would be a great help to them. .

However, because of Zhu Zhanhe, these people died and became officials. In addition, Emperor Taizong abolished Cheng Zhu's Neo-Confucianism and established Gongyang Xue as a Chinese study. As a result, the camp of veteran civil servants could not be effectively supplemented.

Therefore, nowadays, there are fewer and fewer people who can stand with them. Although the subsequent officials have gradually been assimilated, those officials are still different from the old officials like them.

One kind of thought breeds a kind of person. The people cultivated by Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism are different from the people cultivated by Gongyang Xue, which can be said to be extreme ideas.

Even though they have common interests, due to different ideas, it will take time to get together.

Only after time wears away the incompatible edges between them will they become an interest group.

Li Yi became an official during the Yongle period, not those who learned the Gongyang theory and took the imperial examination, not only in terms of interests, but also in terms of ideology and those old officials.

In addition, there was another very important reason why he was able to save this game, and it could even be said to be the only reason.

He is the head of the household department.

As everyone knows, although Xia Yuanji, the Minister of Household Affairs, does not have a clear position, his temperament that only values ​​money has led him to get very close to the Crown Prince of Wu. After all, from the Yongle Dynasty to the present, the biggest revenue for the treasury is basically Created by Zhu Zhanhe.

And these people are standing on the opposite side of Zhu Zhanhe. As the most important department of the Ming Dynasty, how can they be willing to give up?

Even... becoming an "enemy".

Therefore, the Ministry of Household Affairs must have one of their people, and Li Yi had the opportunity.

However, not all of them came here today.

Yu Qian was sitting at the side, and now he is just a servant, incomparable with a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion like Sanyang, a minister like Lu Zhen, and even the head of the household department, Li, who replaced the minister of the household department. Nothing compares to it.

However, he also has his own thoughts.

Yu Qian didn't understand. He did think that Prince Wu's approach was wrong and not in line with the long-term development direction, but he would never object or even design Zhu Zhanhe.

Yu Qian is a sober person. Historically, before he became the Minister of War, he was a staunch developmentist and advocated the rule of Huang and Lao. After becoming the Minister of War, especially after the Shuntian Defense War (those two characters cannot be written) , he is a staunch fighter.

But even if he is a developmentist, it does not mean that he completely denies what Zhu Zhanhe did.

It has been 15 years since the eighth year of Yongle, 15 years!The Ming Dynasty has not been invaded by foreign enemies for 15 years!No one even dared to skim the border casually!
How did this stable Ming Dynasty come about?Is it the governance of Emperor Yongle?Or was it the political actions taken by Emperor Hongxi when he was overseeing the country's governance?
neither!It was Zhu Zhanhe who chopped it out with one knife!It's made with white phosphorus eggs!

The Japanese Empire was destroyed, Siam was destroyed, the Delhi Sultanate was destroyed, and even the Timurid Empire was destroyed. Who was left around the Ming Dynasty?
There are only Oara and the Eastern Chagatai Khanate.

However, with just two enemies, the Eastern Chagatai Khanate was so frightened that they withdrew their troops and defended just because Zhu Zhanhe was standing behind them with a natural moat blocking them.

Yu Qian does advocate running the country according to the ways of Huang and Lao, resting with the people, and recuperating, but it does not mean that he is stupid!

And now, what are these people doing?They want to design Zhu Zhanhe!Design the prince of Wu who scared off all the enemies around the Ming Dynasty!

yes!He, Yu Qian, did not agree with Prince Wu's practice of supporting war with war, but he was not stupid!He will not touch this Ming Dynasty’s Dinghai needle!
however……

He speaks softly, but this situation will not break up because of him, and the final result will not change because of him.

If he takes the initiative, there will only be one result.

Rather than being replaced or even killed without any effect, he would rather do something else.

Thinking of this, Yu Qian cheered up and spoke proactively.

"What should I do?"

Yu Qian's opening surprised everyone. First, they didn't expect Yu Qian to speak. Second, they didn't expect a person who could only sit in the corner to dare to speak.

But soon, everyone discovered that there was a reason for this man to dare to speak.

Clear thinking and unique insights.

"Indeed, Prince Wu chose to pass through the Eastern Chagatai Khanate. This is a good opportunity for us, but who dares to do this?"

"Eastern Chagatai Khanate? I think it's unlikely. Not to mention that they have withdrawn their troops twice and are already scared. Even if they don't, do they dare to be such a standout?"

"You know, our attention has always been on Prince Wu, but don't forget that the team he brought out can be said to be desperate lunatics, and his subordinates even include Qian Yong, Jian Xiao and Zhu Xiao. Three Phoenixes and three people.”

"The three of them are no less powerful than Crown Prince Wu in terms of their fierce tactics. Before, Prince Wu's light was just too dazzling and they were overshadowed."

"It is conceivable that no matter who takes action first, they will inevitably suffer crazy revenge from Xiangzhou Prefecture, Nanzhou Prefecture, and even Queen Qianning's people."

"So...who can we find to be the lead?"

After speaking, Yu Qian glanced at everyone present, seemingly seeking answers, but only he knew that he wanted to write down the reactions of everyone here.

However, Yu Qian was very disappointed. The disappointment was not that no one spoke. He wanted to see a scene where no one spoke, but he didn't want to see this kind of scene where no one spoke.

Because these people didn't speak up, not because they found out that they had done something wrong, but because they were afraid that their own interests would be damaged, and they didn't want to be the first bird, so they finally chose to remain silent.

What they want is to let others speak and carve up the final benefits themselves.
