Zhu Shenxuan didn't have a long time to go to the capital, but his special experience allowed him to see through the affairs of the court and many small actions. As a vassal king, he had always been trembling. For many years, if Su Tiancheng hadn't suggested that the vassal kings participate in the government, he would still live a life of drunkenness and dreams in Taiyuan, Shanxi.

Zhu Shenxuan can also accurately grasp Zhu Youjian's contradictory mentality.

In terms of relationship, Zhu Shenxuan should be biased towards the royal family. After all, this is the Zhu family's world, but the experience of his father and himself made Zhu Shenxuan even more biased towards Su Tiancheng. Of course, this bias is not to let Su Tiancheng overthrow the Ming Dynasty as the emperor, but to make Su Tiancheng's safety. Su Tiancheng's contribution was too great, which made the emperor unable to rest assured.

After becoming the second auxiliary to the cabinet, Zhu Shenxuan worked diligently and worked hard to maintain the emperor's prestige, so that the emperor could hold enough power, and that the civil and military ministers in the court could not compete with the emperor. However, the starting point for all this was to make Su Tiancheng safer and not be excluded or even killed in the future.

However, all kinds of efforts still cannot completely reassure the emperor. This is what Zhu Shenxuan is most worried about. Once Su Tiancheng is liquidated, a large number of people will be destroyed. Not to mention whether the Ming Dynasty can continue to develop steadily, he will also be implicated. From this aspect, Zhu Shenxuan also needs to maintain Su Tiancheng.

Zhu Shenxuan rarely talked about the problems in the court to Su Tiancheng. For example, some officials and censors were still impeaching Su Tiancheng. Although Su Tiancheng was already a cabinet minister, he led a large army to conquer the outside world and constantly eliminated the dangers that threatened the Ming court. In such an environment, Zhu Shenxuan felt very tired.

The time when he was governor of Shaanxi was Zhu Shenxuan's most comfortable day. Regardless of the struggles in the court, he would govern Shaanxi wholeheartedly and enter the capital and become the second auxiliary of the cabinet. He had a lot of power, but he was less comfortable.

There are still many problems with the Ming Dynasty. For example, the south did not change much, and it was similar to before. This is also because when Su Tiancheng was in the south, he was the magistrate of Jiangning County, but he had no influence. The entire south still acted according to the previous steps. In addition, the south did not encounter much war, and many officials were very satisfied with the status quo. The bigger problem is that most of the ministers in the court were from the south, and in many things, they naturally tended to the south.

With the stability of the north, the development speed has been very fast over the years, no less than the south. The development of the north is due to some policies implemented by Su Tiancheng. Shaanxi was the most obvious one. Shaanxi was the birthplace of bandits and the most turbulent place, and it was also one of the most poor places. However, after the bandits were wiped out, the development speed was very fast because of the implementation of policies that benefit the people. In addition, Su Tiancheng focused on merchants and relied on the development of commerce to drive development in other aspects. This development path that would never be recognized by the court was brilliant.

Zhu Shenxuan also heard about the development of Dengzhou, Laizhou and Qingzhou. Some merchants who traveled around Dengzhou and Beijing believed that Dengzhou and other places were even more prosperous than Beijing. Is this the specific situation? Zhu Shenxuan did not specifically verify it, but he believed that in this situation, Su Tiancheng had the ability to build Shaanxi well, let alone Dengzhou and other places.

Su Tian made such great contributions to the establishment, but he always encountered suspicion. The impeachment memorials were never stopped. There are deep reasons. Su Tiancheng improved the status of merchants and was not tolerated by ministers in the court. But the most critical reason was the emperor's attitude. As long as the emperor did not refute such behavior, ministers would continue to impeach.

Zhu Shenxuan has always considered the overall situation. The Ming Dynasty cannot do without Su Tiancheng. To be honest, if you leave Su Tiancheng, no one can destroy the Later Jin Tartars, conquer the grasslands, and take down Taiwan. It is probably the same reason. Even if the emperor is full of wary of Su Tiancheng, he will not be able to take any action.

But Zhu Shenxuan didn't know how long this situation could last, and he was full of concern.

After thinking for a long time, Zhu Shenxuan finally made a decision to fully inform Su Tiancheng of these situations that the special relationship between him and Su Tiancheng also made him have to do so.

As for how to solve the problems, Zhu Shenxuan did not think of a good solution and could not come up with a specific solution. He believed that Su Tiancheng could come up with the best solution after receiving the letter. Su Tiancheng had encountered so many difficulties, but they had not overcome them one by one.

After writing the letter, Zhu Shenxuan did not send it directly. He handed the letter to Su Pingyang. He believed that Su Pingyang could hand over this crucial letter to Su Tiancheng. The Jinyiwei and the Dongchang manuscript in the court were very powerful. If he was not careful, the letter fell into the hands of the Jinyiwei and the Dongchang manuscript, and the problem would be troublesome.

Yang Sichang's idea was also very complicated. On the one hand, as the chief minister of the cabinet, his power could not be compared with the previous chief minister of the cabinet. This made people more or less angry. He worked hard to become the chief minister of the cabinet, with one person above ten thousand people. Unfortunately, there was no sufficient power. The emperor basically made the big decisions in the court, which was too different from the past. On the other hand, various parts of the Ming Dynasty gradually began to stabilize, so many officials forgot about the past few years and thought that the world was worry-free. Even if the Ming Dynasty encountered foreign attacks and attacks, Su Tiancheng would still deal with it. Strangely, these officials thought that Su Tiancheng would deal with it, but they had too many troops in Su Tiancheng and expressed their concern.

This is not a good situation. In fact, the Ming Dynasty was far from the time to rest assured.

The lives of the people are not very good, and they are not worthy of food and clothing. Even in a wealthy place in the south, the lives of the people are still difficult. The situation sent by the patrols reported that the people in the north were even better than those in the south. This was impossible to imagine a few years ago.

Yang Sichang fully recognized Su Tiancheng's ability. Yang Sichang, who was arrogant in his heart, was convinced by Su Tiancheng. He was so young, but he had made merits that ordinary people could not make. He became a cabinet minister at the age of 30. At such a height, no second person would have reached it.

But the greater the credit, the greater the problem. This is how history is and no one can avoid it.

Yang Sichang was very clear about some impeachment memorials of the court. He was very conflicted about this matter. He did not agree with Su Tiancheng's actions, such as allowing the princes and princes to enter the court, allowing the sons of the princes to take the imperial examination, and trying their best to consolidate the imperial power, etc., but Yang Sichang had to admit that the policies implemented by Su Tiancheng were all successful and could promote the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty.

Yang Sichang is not a petty person, nor is he a treacherous official. Although he does not agree with Su Tiancheng's actions, he will never deny Su Tiancheng's contribution.

For some time, Yang Sichang has been thinking about having a good talk with Zhu Shenxuan.

Zhu Shenxuan's identity is very sensitive. He is Zhu Shenxin's biological brother. His relationship with Su Tiancheng is extraordinary. However, he is also the King of Jin and a royal family member of the Ming Dynasty. When Zhu Shenxuan first entered the cabinet, Yang Sichang paid great attention to the observation and saw what attitude Zhu Shenxuan adopted.

After observing for a period of time, Yang Sichang believed that Zhu Shenxuan had very good abilities and knew how to handle relationships well.

Yang Sichang made up his mind to have a good talk with Zhu Shenxuan. No matter what the future development situation is, it must be maintained now. At least Su Tiancheng worked hard outside and made arduous efforts, but he could not affect Su Tiancheng's mood because of some broken things in the court.

Today, when discussing in the Palace of Yangxin, Yang Sichang felt angry. Why do you need to discuss such a simple matter? The reason here is simple. The negotiations between the Later Jin Tartars were tedious and always put forward various conditions. Some conditions were simply unbearable. Yang Sichang thought about termination of the negotiations several times, believing that the Later Jin Tartars had no sincerity, but the emperor did not express his opinion, and Yang Sichang could not terminate the negotiations at will.

Sometimes, Yang Sichang also thought about letting Su Tiancheng return to the capital and let Hong Chengchou lead the army to conquer, but the situation that had happened in Liaodong made Yang Sichang feel that such a decision was not very wise. Chen Xinjia served as the governor of Liaodong. With Qian Qianyi's cooperation, he adopted the stance of excluding Jiangning Camp, but ended up suffering a heavy failure. If Su Tiancheng was still in Liaodong, such a thing would not have happened.

Looking from the perspective of others, Yang Sichang was very worried. Su Tiancheng had mastered all the elite troops of the Ming Dynasty. If something really happened, Su Tiancheng thought of establishing himself as king, which would probably be the biggest disaster of the Ming Dynasty.

After the rest, Yang Sichang went to visit Zhu Shenxuan.

It is a rare thing for the chief minister of the cabinet to visit the second assistant of the cabinet, at least it is inappropriate. If you want to visit, it should be Zhu Shenxuan who visited him, Yang Sichang, but Yang Sichang, who was thinking about many things, could not care about so much.

When he arrived at Zhu Shenxuan's residence, Yang Sichang felt that Zhu Shenxuan did not show any particular surprise, as if he knew he was coming.

That night, the two talked about a lot of things, mainly involving Su Tiancheng. Their words gradually deepened from a simple perspective, from the perspective of the future of the Ming Dynasty, and from the perspective of taking into account the overall situation, they talked about the court's attitude towards Su Tiancheng, including what the emperor should be.

When leaving Zhu Shenxuan's residence, Yang Sichang was a little happy. He believed that the cabinet chief and the cabinet chief had completely unified their opinions, and many things in the future would be easier to deal with.
