Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 77 Thinking of Change (1)

The news of Fu Wang Zhu Changxun's entry into Beijing is like a hot oil pan, suddenly poured with a ladle of cold water, and it boils instantly. The root cause is that no one has ever thought about this aspect.

The suzerain vassals who have settled down seldom return to Beijing. Even if they want to return to Beijing, at least some officials need to know, and discuss and discuss according to the system first.

As for the confirmation of the vassal's entry into the capital, the time has to be pushed back, but it happened that the court didn't know about it at all, and there was no news in advance, so this matter is interesting.

Qianqing Palace, Dongnuan Pavilion.

"Your Majesty, Fu Fan has moved into the Tenth Prince's Palace." Han Zanzhou knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Zhu Youxiao and said, "Fu Fan has submitted a memorial and wants to see Your Majesty in the palace."

Said, Han Zanzhou respectfully held up a memorial, bowed his head before Wang Tiqian walked over, took the memorial in front of him, bowed and walked towards Zhu Youxiao.

"Did anything happen when Fu Fan was on his way back to the capital?"

Zhu Youxiao picked up the memorial, but didn't rush to open it. He glanced at Han Zanzhou who was kneeling on the ground, and said calmly, "Get up and talk, this time I went to Luoyang to do a good job."

"My servant thanked the emperor for his kindness."

Han Zanzhou was overjoyed and immediately kowtowed to thank him.

As far as Han Zanzhou was concerned, he was an unknown person in the inner court before, and if he could be selected by the emperor to leave Beijing and go to Luoyang secretly, and bring people to summon Fu Fan to Beijing, it would be smoke from the ancestral grave. If the errands are done well, they will be rewarded, so Han Zanzhou attaches great importance to this matter.

Although he had gone through many things and encountered some ups and downs during this period, Han Zanzhou had made it through, and he was the only one who understood the sourness in it.

Thinking of Han Zanzhou here, he picked up the important ones to report the experience and knowledge of this journey, I don't know how many times I have thought about what I said.

"Fu Fan has been tired of traveling all the way. Now that he has arrived in the capital, he will rest at the Tenth Prince's Mansion for the time being."

Zhu Youxiao took the memorial and after listening to Han Zan and Zhou Chunming's situation, he said: "The newly established chief supervisor of the West Police Factory has supervisory powers. I have been keeping it for you. Go to the Supervisor of Ceremonies and go through the procedures to take office. Well, those who went with you to Luoyang will go to the Xiji Bureau, and you will continue to be in charge of Fu Fan while he is in Beijing."

"Your maidservant kowtows to thank God."

Han Zanzhou suppressed his joy and knelt on the ground to show his attitude.

When Han Zanzhou was ordered to leave Beijing, there was no Xijiu Factory. Now he has become the chief supervisor of the Xijiu Factory, in charge of supervisory duties. Although he is not an admiral eunuch, Han Zanzhou will also have a place among the eunuchs in power in the inner court in the future. How can this not make Han Zanzhou excited.

People are like this, if you want to take it, you must first give it.

The team of eunuchs in the inner court, if they want them to be loyal and to do business, they must know how to give both grace and power, both are indispensable.

Zhu Youxiao understands that going too far is not enough.

In the past period of time, Zhu Youxiao has never stopped adjusting the inner court. Who should be reused, who should be inspected, and who should be eliminated. Zhu Youxiao has made very clear arrangements. The inner court must check and balance each other and compete with each other. In this state, it is only necessary to assist him in controlling the court.

In Zhu Youxiao's overall concept, the eunuchs and eunuchs of the inner court can only be active in the territory of Beizhili in the future, and the scope is too far away from the capital. Even if there is awe in his heart, after a long time, that person will change.

The sky is high and the emperor is far away.

What Zhu Youxiao wants is to reduce maladministration and cancer, not to add new maladministration and cancer through other hands. As for strengthening the control of the local government, Zhu Youxiao has other plans.

The meal should be eaten one bite at a time.

The current situation of Ming Dynasty was not formed in a short period of time, but accumulated over the years. If we want to eliminate these maladministration and malignant tumors, it will not be done overnight.

"Continue to talk about the military situation."

After Han Zanzhou left, Zhu Youxiao didn't look at the memorial, just threw it aside, looked at Wang Tiqian and said, "Since everything that needs to be investigated has been found out, there are deficits in the Armor Factory and Wang Gong Factory under the Bingzheng Bureau. , you are the eunuch who is in charge of the official seal, what do you think should be done?"

For Zhu Changxun, the king of fortune who was summoned to the capital, his fate was doomed from the moment he left Luoyang, and Zhu Youxiao was short of money.

The army supported by internal funds alone needs to spend a lot of extra money every year. Before a new military expenditure system is clarified, this money can only be allocated from internal funds. Otherwise, the full pay system cannot be guaranteed. If you can't get everything, how can you say you are loyal?
"Your Majesty, I am willing to take charge of this matter."

Wang Tigan didn't even think about it, and immediately bowed to express his opinion.

"I will leave this matter to you."

Zhu Youxiao said in a calm tone: "Catch those who should be arrested, and those who should be killed. As long as I want the result, I don't care about the process. The inner court will solve the affairs of the inner court."

"The slaves obey the order."

Wang Ti hurriedly responded.

"I remember how many Huangzhuangs there are in the Xishan area?"

Zhu Youxiao picked up the tea cup in his hand and took a sip, "Among the eunuchs who were arrested before, some of the land under their names is also in the Xishan area, right?"

"Yes, my lord."

Wang Tiqian said: "Some of them are coal yards they opened privately. Under the Gyeonggi rule, coal is in short supply, and they can earn a lot of money every year."

"When the military battle situation is rectified, we will start moving to these places."

Zhu Youxiao put down the teacup, frowned slightly and said: "In addition, a group of people were selected from the inner court and assigned to the prefectures and counties of Beizhili. They gathered the escaped craftsmen and registered them in the Military War Bureau. This matter I don’t want the commotion to be too big, so you should know what to do.”

"The servant understands."

Wang Tiqian first stated his position, but when he thought about the relocation of the various departments under the jurisdiction of the Bingzhan Bureau, he hesitated for a moment, and said bravely: "My lord, if the Bingzhan Bureau moves out of the city, I'm afraid that the officials in the outer court will know about it, and they will definitely... ..."

"You don't have to think about these things, I will deal with them."

Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and interrupted: "The things I said should be done quickly. You can decide who should be promoted, and let me handle the errands."

"The slaves obey the order."

Wang Tiqian was overjoyed and said nothing else.

If you want the people below to do things in a down-to-earth manner, you must pretend not to know about some things or the status quo.

In any case, Wang Tiqian is the eunuch with the seal of the supervisor of ceremonies, and if he wants to maintain his status and power in the inner court, he can't do without anyone under him.

The principle of huddling together to keep warm is applicable no matter where it is. This is due to human nature, and it is the essence of power.

Whether it is the inner court or the outer court, power is gradually reduced, and no one person alone can control it. Power is a symbol of domination.

Compared with these side details, Zhu Youxiao is more concerned about whether the things he said can be effectively implemented. For example, the relocation of the inner court military bureau, the production and storage of dangerous goods such as gunpowder, should not appear in the capital's key areas. The land can neither expand production capacity nor guarantee safety.

The recruiting and training involving the new army is currently proceeding step by step. Whether it is training or fighting, the demand for firearms and gunpowder will increase geometrically. To completely solve the problem, changes must be made , This change must be grasped first from the inner court, and then try to take over part of the functions of the foreign court affairs department, so that it can be integrated to realize the change and development of the military industry.
