Chapter 430 Zhu Zhen’s “Worry”

Zhu Zhen looked at Zhu Qiyu in disbelief. He did not expect that Zhu Qiyu would do this, let himself chant sutras here every day, and burn incense for those soldiers who died in battle!
Doing this is tantamount to admitting that he is responsible for the original defeat, but he does not admit it, but Zhu Qiyu forces himself to admit it!

"Brother, what else do you need?" Zhu Qiyu ignored Zhu Zhen's surprised look and asked, "What else do you need?"
"It's not necessary, but wouldn't it be good if these stone tablets were placed in the palace? Otherwise, it would be better to build a mansion for me outside the city. Where would it be better?" Zhu Zhen said very dissatisfied!

"It doesn't matter, let's do this for now! We'll talk about it in a few years. You live in the palace, and I can come to visit you from time to time. And you are not in good health now. Although you are a commoner now, to me, you are also an elder brother. , I can clearly distinguish this matter in my heart!" Zhu Qiyu waved his hand and said, it is impossible for Zhu Zhen to live outside, and he is not at ease. Now he still has to deal with the vassal kings and county kings!
Those vassal kings actually don't have much of a problem, but those county kings are still unconvinced. This is not acceptable. If you are not convinced, you have to deal with it!

After Zhu Qiyu finished speaking, he looked at Zhu Zhen. Zhu Zhen also knew what Zhu Qiyu meant. He was waiting for him to offer incense to those heroic spirits!

But Zhu Zhen doesn’t want to go to incense!
After Wang Ying saw it, he said to Zhu Zhen: "It's time to burn incense. The bones of these people have not been found yet. You should burn incense sticks for them to comfort their spirits in heaven!"

Wang Ying is not afraid of him. Anyway, she is from Zhu Qiyu's family!

The reason why he didn't let Lin Cunde speak was because he didn't want Lin Cunde to offend Zhu Zhen. After all, he was also worried that those civil servants would make irresponsible remarks!
"It's time to put up the incense!" Zhu Qiyu also nodded and said!

Zhu Zhen had no choice but to go over and get three sticks of incense, light them in front of the candles, and then respectfully light the incense in front of the stone tablets!

After inserting the incense into the incense burner, Zhu Zhen just stood there and said nothing!
Zhu Qiyu spoke now. Today, he actually had many things to talk to Zhu Zhen, including the future governance of the Ming Dynasty. He also wanted to hear Zhu Zhen’s opinion. After all, Zhu Zhen had been trained, but he had not done so before. I don’t understand anything. Although I can understand a little by looking at the experiences of emperors throughout the ages, I’m still far from it!
Soon, Zhu Qiyu took Zhu Zhen to the side room next to him. The tea table was also set up in the side room, and there were many books. This was prepared for Zhu Zhen!

After Wang Ying heard this, he sat next to Zhu Zhen, while Lin Cunde sat on the right side of Zhu Zhen and also sat on the side of the tea table!

After Zhu Zhen heard this, he immediately looked at Lin Cunde and said, "I didn't expect you to have such abilities!"

"Well! This was made by Shouming, and everyone likes it very much. Now, almost everyone in the homes of officials in the capital has a tea table like this. Everyone can sit around the table to drink tea and chat. It's great!" Zhu Qiyu smiled and nodded.

Zhu Qiyu said to Lin Cunde and Wang Ying at this moment: "You guys should sit down too!"

"Brother, let me make tea. We two brothers haven't spoken to each other for several years. I want to talk to you today!" Zhu Qiyu said and sat on the main seat!
Zhu Zhen just stood there and watched, not knowing what the use of this table was.

Zhu Qiyu started to boil water!
"What is this? A tea drinker?" Zhu Zhen asked curiously as he watched Zhu Qiyu start stirring tea leaves into the teapot.

Zhu Zhen had no choice but to sit down. He was actually very dissatisfied with those stone tablets!

Lin Cunde smiled and shook his head and said: "Back then, I was staying at home to observe my filial piety and had nothing to do, so I made this tea table!"

Zhu Zhen continued: "I heard that you also made soap and bar soap, which is very profitable?"

"Huh? It all depends on soap and soap. Otherwise, I don't know how to maintain the operation of the court the year you had the accident. Tumu Fort was defeated. Our Ming Dynasty suffered huge losses. There are almost no generals who can fight! The Third Battalion of the Capital The whole army was wiped out, and there was a huge problem in the defense of the capital. The civil servants wanted to force me to put the third battalion of the capital under the management of the Ministry of War! If I didn't agree, they wouldn't give me the money. I couldn't. Fortunately, the profits of soap and soap were big enough, so I could Maintain the expenses of the Third Battalion of the Capital, otherwise, the Third Battalion of the Capital may completely belong to the Ministry of War, and the safety of the Ming Dynasty’s Capital will all belong to those civil servants!" Zhu Qiyu sat there and explained.

After hearing this, Zhu Zhen realized that what he was worried about at the beginning was solved like this!
He couldn't help but nodded and said: "I was worried about this when I was on the grassland before. The cabinet and the Ministry of War have always wanted the Third Battalion of the Capital to be under the management of the Ministry of War, rather than directly under the emperor. They have been fighting for military power with the military generals, but now It seems that the general has won!"

"Well, it's because the money comes from our royal family. In addition, my father-in-law won the battle in Hequ and later in Shanhaiguan. Otherwise, they would still fight for it! It turns out that, brother, you also know that the Third Battalion of the Capital cannot Controlled by civil servants!" Zhu Qiyu said with a smile.

After Zhu Zhen heard this, he laughed and continued: "Civil officials have always competed with military generals for power. When I led the army to conquer Oara, I wanted to re-establish the status of the army. Unexpectedly, I was betrayed. You should know, We were betrayed during the Tumu Fort battle, have you investigated this matter clearly?"

After Zhu Qiyu heard this, he nodded and said: "I know, and I have been investigating, but there is no clue. They have hidden it too deeply, including the Shanhaiguan battle. I also know that someone informed Wala of the news in advance, but this person hid it." It’s too deep, too deep!”

"Well, it's good that you know! They just want to destroy all the generals who are good at fighting in the Ming Dynasty so as to seize the power of the army. I was really careless at the beginning and didn't think of this! I didn't expect them to be so vicious. , do such a thing!
However, you also need to be careful. Civil servants are very dormant. They will wait and succeed one generation after another. In order to achieve their goals, they will pass it on through teachers and students. Before they are exposed, you will never think that it is them. ! "Zhu Zhen sat there, reminding Zhu Qiyu and said!
Zhu Qiyu just wanted Zhu Zhen to say something about running the court, so that he could avoid detours. There was a ready-made teacher here, and some of his experience was very useful!

"Well, brother, do you have anything else to explain?" Zhu Qiyu said to Zhu Zhen. At this moment, the water was boiling, and Zhu Qiyu started to make tea!
"The other ones are those feudal kings. You have to be careful with those feudal kings. The burden on the feudal kings is too great. What I wanted to do before was to defeat Wala. I took advantage of the Ming Dynasty's strong army to attack those feudal kings. , we can’t let them do this! But I heard that you are doing it too!" After hearing this, Zhu Qiyu said to Zhu Qiyu!
Zhu Qiyu nodded and said: "It's already being done, and in the future, my Ming Dynasty's expenditure on the feudal kings will be reduced by more than 70%, and I will also re-plan the behavior of those feudal kings!"

Zhu Zhen looked at Zhu Qiyu in surprise after hearing this. He wanted to ask, how did you see that there was something wrong with those vassal kings?

But it’s hard for him to ask these questions!

"Also, the problem of Japanese pirates may not seem painful or itchy, but it will definitely be a disaster for our Ming Dynasty in the future. We need to find ways to eliminate it. However, it is still very difficult to completely eliminate it! Moreover, Fujian, Zhejiang In this area, there are people who specialize in informing the Japanese pirates, and help them write off their accounts and get benefits! There are even some officials who specialize in doing this kind of thing! Reveal the Ming Dynasty's military deployment along the coast in advance to get benefits from the Japanese pirates! "Zhu Zhen continued!
Zhu Qiyu frowned after hearing this!

Lin Cunde heard this, nodded and said: "This is probably true. There are many Japanese pirates in Luanzhou who want to come over for investigation, but they have been defeated by our navy, making them unable to get close!"

"Well, I will investigate this matter clearly. I have turned against them and has connections with foreign countries!" Zhu Qiyu said through gritted teeth!
Zhu Zhen then said: "The other issue is the rebellion. I have always wanted to solve it, but the civil servants below want the people to rebel, because when there is a rebellion, the court sends troops to quell it. After the rebellion is quelled, there will be A large amount of land is ownerless, and those civil servants can snatch the land, and business! In addition, there are some generals in the army who hope that the people will rebel. If they rebel, they will put down the rebellion, and they will get credit and be promoted!

There are intentions here, and you need to distinguish them clearly!
In addition, the power of the cabinet is a bit too big. Both Taizu and Taizong asked the cabinet to make suggestions, but they did not have the power to govern. But, well, my grandfather was in poor health and my father was in poor health. It was difficult to deal with government affairs. Let the cabinet take over!
Therefore, the cabinet has the power to govern, but this is not possible!
The cabinet only has the power to propose, not to implement, and it cannot interfere in the affairs of the six ministries!
The cabinet, the six ministries and the Metropolitan Procuratorate need to form a balance!
When I took over, the power of the cabinet was dominated by one family, and the six ministries and the Metropolitan Procuratorate had to respect the attitude of the cabinet! If you really want to govern the Ming Dynasty well, you need to re-plan the cabinet so that the ministers in the cabinet are of the fifth rank and not ministers of the sixth rank!

In this case, the power of the cabinet is not that great, and it can only make suggestions! "

Zhu Qiyu nodded after hearing this, while Lin Cunde frowned beside him. After Zhu Qiyu looked at it, he immediately looked at Lin Cunde and asked, "Just say what you have to say. Is there anything wrong with this suggestion?"

"Yes!" Lin Cunde nodded!

Zhu Qiyu and Zhu Zhen immediately looked at Lin Cunde!
"If the emperor is in good health and has sufficient energy, it is naturally possible. If the emperor is like Renzong and Xuanzong, how can he govern the world? The cabinet only has the right to make suggestions, not to govern. So, who will govern?
Relying on Your Majesty for everything will tire Your Majesty to death! And if you encounter an emperor who doesn't like to manage the government, how should the Ming Dynasty govern? "Lin Cunde sat there and looked at the two of them and asked.
