Old Zhu knew how to cultivate Xiao Zhu's prestige, and Zhu Yunyong also had some plans in mind.

Over the years, Lao Zhu and Xiao Zhu's preference for Xiao Zhu has been obvious to all. These can also be said to be the greatest support for Xiao Zhu's prestige. But this is not enough, even if Xiao Zhu was appointed as the prince early, among the martial arts

There is also support from the Xu family, but these are not enough. After all, these are 'external forces'.

Especially as Xiao Xiao Zhu's age increases, it is natural that Xiao Xiao Zhu himself needs to have some prestige. Zhu Yunyong knows this well, and this is one of the things he is paying attention to now, to increase Xiao Zhu's reputation more.

Xiao Zhu’s prestige.

When Zhu Yunyong was a child, everyone knew that Lao Zhu and Empress Ma had a preference for him. Everyone also knew that Zhu Yunyong received unreserved support from the Chang lineage after he was born. These are naturally one of the reasons why Zhu Yunyong's status is stable.

But as Zhu Yunyong's reputation for being precocious and wise spread, as he controlled more and more naval forces, instituted sea bans, etc., Zhu Yunyong's prestige continued to increase.

Especially when the Japanese silver mine was discovered and he oversaw the construction of a new capital city in Beiping Prefecture, this undoubtedly further enhanced his prestige. Of course, there were also a series of other things involved.

External force is very important, but it also requires one's own level, which is the most critical.

It is not only necessary for the civil and military officials to feel Xiao Xiaozhu's prestige, but also for the clan members to understand Xiao Xiaozhu's status as prince.

Zhu Yunyong actually doesn't need to worry too much about Xiao Xiao Zhu's responsibility to discipline the clan's children. The main thing is that many things, including the internal affairs of Lao Zhu's family, are very easy to control.

To put it simply, this is the feudal era, and parents have absolute authority within the family. Take Lao Zhu for example, with just one look from him, no one in the entire Lao Zhu family is not afraid. In this era, 'the father wants the son to die'

, The son has to perish', this is not unreasonable.

Zhu Yunyong may not care too much about some of Xiao Zhu's affairs. He still needs to pay more attention to the important affairs of the court now. These are somewhat troubled times. Zhu Yunyong obviously has no time to spare at all. Many things need to be dealt with.

Although Zhu Yunyong seemed to be acting like a rogue, he solved some troubles for the time being. But that was only temporary. Zhu Yunyong also knew that in the next period of time, many people would be preparing to start a battle around the position of Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

Series of disputes.

There is no doubt that Yu Xin is now in jail, but no one can guarantee how Zhu Yunyong will deal with Yu Xin.

In the eyes of some people, Yu Xin may have made some mistakes, but the crime will not lead to death. If he works hard, he may have the opportunity to treat him lightly. After all, he is a veteran of the imperial court, and he has done so in the position of Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

Very good, worthy of preferential treatment from the court.

Others obviously didn't think so. They felt that what Yu Xin did was entirely to blame. He had violated the court's laws and put the emperor into a very unfavorable situation.

Under such circumstances, it is natural to give Yu Xin the severest punishment, and there must be no leniency. What's more, if Yu Xin falls, there will be a chance for a new Minister of Household Affairs to appear, and many officials will have the opportunity to go to court because of this.

Move up.

This matter seems to have nothing to do with Wu Xun. It seems to be an internal struggle within the civil service group. But many people also know that the Wu Xun Group definitely hopes that there will be some ministers of the Ministry of Finance who are closer to them, rather than some difficult ones.

Role.

In fact, for the Wuxun Group, it is best if the six ministers are all spokespersons of the Huaixi Xungui Group. But it must not be the Zhejiang Party or the like, which is obviously not in the interests of the Wuxun Group.

.

I think back then, people like Li Shanchang and Hu Weiyong were closely related to the Huaixi nobles, but that's not the case now.

Ru Yu, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, is from Huguang. Chen Di, the Minister of Rites, is from Ningguofu, South Zhili. Bao Zhao, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishments, is from Luzhou, Shanxi. Yan Zhenzhi, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, is from Suzhou, South Zhili.

In fact, Yu Xin is the hometown of Lao Zhu and Xiao Zhu. This is Linhuai, Fengyang Prefecture.

Liu Bu Shangshu, the real "Northerner" is Bao Zhao.

The Wuxun Group does not like the Zhejiang Party. The Zhejiang Party formed by Liu Bowen and others was one of the largest civil service groups at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty. But now, although the Zhejiang Party is no longer particularly strong among the civil service groups in the Ming Dynasty,

But there are still a lot of backbones.

In fact, Zhu Yunyong was not very happy to see that the six ministers were all from the south. It took six hundred years to recover the Sixteenth State of Yanyun, even though it had been more than thirty years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty. But Zhu Yunyong also knew that the Sixteenth State of Yanyun was not necessarily what the people wanted.

Submission, this was one of the reasons why Zhu Yunyong moved the capital to Peiping. The people's support could not be abandoned.

Over the years, Zhu Yunyong has been trying to win back the hearts of the people in the north, and he has been constantly promoting some northern officials. However, the writing style of the north is not as good as that of the south, and there are really too many officials from the south in the court.

So this time, it is best to arrange for a Northern Minister of Household Affairs to balance the power of civil servants from the north and the south. This is also what Zhu Yunyong should do.

Sure enough, when the morning court came again, a series of discussions immediately started in the court. Xia Yuanji looked a little anxious. Yu Xin was his boss, even though he was from Changsha Prefecture, Huguang, and he was half a fellow villager with Ru Yu.

, but Yu Xin was kind to him.

Now that Yu Xin is unlucky, Xia Yuanji certainly hopes to protect his Bole. What's more, this matter is still caused by his subjective bank, which naturally makes Xia Yuanji even more anxious.

Zhu Yunyong listened to Xia Yuanji's explanation with an expressionless face. It was nothing more than that although the Ministry of Revenue had delayed, it was thought that it was just some delays and no deductions.

This is something that must be made clear. If it is delayed, it will be a big or small matter. Once embezzlement and corruption occur, Yu Xin will really be hopeless. The mistakes made by Yu Xin must be identified, so that there will be more

operating space.

Zhu Yunyong could naturally see Xia Yuanji's thoughts, and other civil and military personnel could probably also see it. This matter was indeed related to the treatment of Yu Xin, which is also a point that many people are arguing about now.

Judging from the current situation, Yu Xin did not engage in corruption. However, he withheld the money that had been diverted. This is an indisputable fact, and this is something that more and more evidence can prove.

For someone who treated the clan harshly and despised the emperor's favor, this charge was so severe that it was basically impossible for Yu Xin to escape smoothly.

Now that some of Yu Xin's crimes have been confirmed, some people can't hold it any longer. It's better to say nothing more at this time. It would be in their interests to completely knock down Yu Xin.

After all, he is the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, which is a very powerful position. What's more, the civil service group is not monolithic. In order to meet their own interests and appeals, they have to overthrow Yu Xin, who is about to be in bad luck. At this time, you can say that you feel at ease. This is

It's just a matter of smooth sailing.

It was a mess. Zhu Yunyong felt that the civil and military officials were making a mess at this time.

For their own benefit, it is normal for civil servants to make noise at this time. And those military officials were not willing to be alone in getting involved. They seemed to be happy to support an agent, and naturally they took a series of actions.

Even if Zhu Yunyong seems to have some ideas, he basically has a pretty good candidate, etc. But now he can't directly bring up some things, so he can only endure it and continue to observe.

In front of such a huge cake like the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance, most people can't stay rational at all and will have many ideas.

Zhu Yunyong could just watch indifferently at this time. The disputes at this time, etc., could reveal some of the pattern of the court.

It seems that usually some people are good at acting, and they usually look like they are not interacting with each other. But at this time, there is still a feeling of breathing out through one nostril, and they seem to be working together more.

Maybe some people can see some of the tricks here, but they can't care about that much at this time. In the final analysis, the position of Minister of the Ministry of Revenue is too important. For such a high-power official position, everyone must work hard to win it.

.

Even if His Majesty sees some tricks, it doesn't matter much. Compared with the risks, once you succeed, you will get unparalleled rewards.

Although there was a lot of noise in the court, Zhu Yunyong had already expected it and didn't think it was strange at all.

Obviously, a morning meeting will not produce a result, and we still need to wait. Many things are still unclear, but it is estimated that many people will need to work harder to fight for more opportunities in the next period of time.

What's more, Yu Xin is only in jail now, and he is only interrogating Yu Xin now. So now it is just preparation in advance. There is no result in this matter yet, and a little more patience is needed.

Zhu Yunyong, who was rubbing his temples, went down to court. This morning's morning court was basically a debate surrounding the affairs of the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. The quarrel was earth-shaking, but there was no result.

Fortunately, Zhu Yunyong was also pleased. It seemed that he still had some majesty as an emperor. After his severe scolding, the civil and military officials temporarily stopped their activities and discussed some other political affairs, not just around the Minister of Household Affairs.

Dedicated morning session.

Although he has gone to court, it does not mean that Zhu Yunyong can be free. He has not summoned the chief official of the Three Laws Department or the clan. It seems that he needs to let this matter continue and wait until there is a clear answer.

Go do something.

Zhu Yunyong was very happy as soon as he arrived at Wuying Hall, "Grandpa Huang, why are you here to approve the discounts?!"

Lao Zhu glanced at Zhu Yunyong and said unhappily, "Let me tell you, you have become lazy since you became the emperor. Tell yourself, what the hell are you talking about?!"

Zhu Yunyong also knew what Lao Zhu was thinking, and said, "We are too lazy to preach to those officials, especially those who have been there for many years. It is useless for us to give advice, they mostly just turn a deaf ear. What we want to see is the results, and we are too lazy to talk to them!

"

Lao Zhu became even more unhappy and said solemnly, "Let me tell you, you just have an extra lazy bone. Sooner or later, we will pull out that lazy bone for you! You have to beat those who are incompetent as officials. You have to say that you have to

Plans, will, let them guess your thoughts, how can you have the energy to do something practical!"

It makes sense for Lao Zhu to say this. It is better to express some of his thoughts directly than to play riddles.

It's just that Zhu Yunyong does feel that there are some things that no matter how clear it is, it's useless. Some people are really ineffective, or their main energy is to please the emperor or Shangguan.

Therefore, Zhu Yunyong's intention is also very obvious. He just wants to see political performance, which is the most intuitive report card. These things can also be regarded as Zhu Yunyong's evaluation criteria for an official's ability, which is more intuitive and clearer.

It’s hard to say who is right and who is wrong. It’s probably just the public speaking and the mother-in-law speaking the right.

After Lao Zhu criticized Zhu Yunyong, he continued, "We are too lazy to beat you. If we continue talking, I guess you won't be able to show off your face. You are such a big man and you have become an emperor and a father."

"You can't say that. No matter what, we are in front of Grandpa Huang, that is, we are such great grandsons!" Zhu Yunyong laughed, not caring about 'acting like a baby', "Grandpa Huang said what he should say and scolded when he should. This

It is also a blessing for my grandchildren.”

At this time, Old Zhu became happy, pointed at Zhu Yunyong and said, "You were not such a rogue when you were a child, but you have become closer to us when you grow up."

Lao Zhu stopped chatting at this time and said seriously to Zhu Yunyong, "The reason we came here is to talk to you about the tree oil from Nanyang. Now it seems that the tree oil is about to enter Beijing, and the leader of the Zhongshan Kingdom

, it’s time to enter Beijing.”

Lao Zhu was too lazy to pay attention to the Minister of Household Affairs and so on. He believed that Zhu Yunyong could handle these matters well.

For Lao Zhu, what he is more concerned about is tree oil, which is something that benefits the country and the people, and naturally needs to be taken seriously.

Furthermore, Lao Zhu certainly needs to be concerned about things like promoting national prestige. The monarchs of the feudal dynasty attach great importance to the national prestige of the Celestial Kingdom. It can even be said to be a major headache and must be treated with caution.

Zhu Yunyong also knows these things well, and he will naturally not be careless about such things. This is not just his matter at all, it is also the matter of the entire Ming Dynasty, and of course it must be treated with caution.

"We feel we should be cautious about this matter." Zhu Yunyong looked at Lao Zhu and said seriously, "Tree oil is naturally good, but it is not realistic for the people to accept it all at once."

Lao Zhu nodded slightly. Many people's ideas have been fixed, and they are naturally relatively unfamiliar and resistant to new things.

If we push forward forcefully at this time, it may be counterproductive, which will naturally cause a lot of trouble.

Good things, of course, also need better treatment and arrangements, rather than doing bad things with good intentions!
