Invincible Zhengde

Chapter 249 Zhu Youtang's Thoughts
Liu Jin didn't know why his highness was going to Qianqing Palace, but he didn't dare to neglect and hurriedly led the way.Now that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is becoming more and more powerful, none of the eunuchs in the palace dare to make trouble in front of the Crown Prince, especially the eunuchs who are waiting around, they are all very careful, for fear of offending His Royal Highness, Liu Jin not excluded.

Why do you want to go to the Qing Palace?The answer is very simple, Zhu Houzhao is to persuade his father, in Zhu Houzhao's view, his father is still a little indecisive.

Soon Zhu Houzhao came to Qianqing Palace, and saw his father Zhu Youtang correcting the memorial, Zhu Houzhao didn't answer, just stood aside and waited quietly.In fact, in Zhu Houzhao's view, there is no need to read those messy memorials at all, just throw them into the stove and burn them. At the same time, Zhu Houzhao also had an idea.

That is, the office expenses of the yamen should be limited. Is it true that paper and ink are free?If you write so desperately, all the money spent is from the imperial court, and there are restrictions on things like treats and meals, and reimbursement is not allowed.

After a while, Zhu Youtang raised his head and glanced at his son, then asked with a sullen face, "What's the matter?"

Zhu Youtang has been in a bad mood for the past two days, mainly because of the trouble caused by the three cabinet scholars. Originally, Zhu Youtang still had great hopes for the three people. After all, these three people were promoted by themselves. How could Zhu Youtang not be disappointed now that it has become like this.As soon as his son came, nothing good would happen, and Zhu Youtang's mood became even worse.

Zhu Hou took care of Zhu Youtang, bowed and said: "I heard that my father was not in a good mood, so I went to the imperial doctor, and I came here to visit."

Hearing what his son said, Zhu Youtang's face eased a little, nodded and said: "You are worried, but it's just some troubles, it's nothing serious, the imperial doctor prescribed Qufan Qingxin Pills, take it first Let's see it in a few days! It will be fine after a while, you don't have to worry too much, I heard that you have been busy with the Beijing camp these days, so don't be too tired."

"Thank you, father, for your concern. My son is fine!" Zhu Houzhao said with a smile, "My son is in good health!"

"Then pay attention!" Zhu Youtang lowered his face and warned: "Your mother is thinking about choosing a crown princess for you, and when you have a crown princess, she will give birth to a grandson for the royal family earlier, you It’s better to be safe.”

Zhu Houzhao will be 15 years old after the new year, and it is indeed time to choose the crown princess. Zhu Houzhao can't say anything about it, but he just nodded and said: "All follow the orders of the emperor and the queen."

Although Zhu Houzhao wants to express his opinion, Zhu Houzhao also knows that he has no part to speak about this matter. For example, he really wants to mention your age, the princess. You can't pass even one level, since you can't control it, simply don't waste that tongue, provoking parents and queen mother's displeasure in vain.

After hearing Zhu Houzhao's words, Zhu Youtang smiled and nodded, stroking his beard and looking at his son. In fact, Zhu Houzhao was very happy and admired his son.

Of course, it would be even better if you don’t always make troubles and make troubles all the time. When you are in a better mood, Zhu Youtang will naturally be in the mood to talk to his son, so he asked, “Where is the Beijing camp?” Is it going well?"

"It's going well!" Zhu Houzhao nodded, and reported his recent work to his father. Finally, Zhu Houzhao said: "My son has asked Wang Shouren to start the review tomorrow, and it will probably be finished soon."

Zhu Youtang nodded: "Are you here today because of the affairs of the Minister of the Household Department?"

Zhu Youtang could also see this point, his son valued Qi You very much, and he knew it from Yantiesi's affairs, if his son hadn't supported Qi You back then, he would not have sat in that seat.But over the past few years, I have to say that Qi You sees it very well.The salt class of the imperial court is increasing every year, and the local salt merchants have not caused any problems.

The implementation of the protection price of salt is also very smooth, and it is Qi You's ability to make all the salt merchants abide by it.

"Yes, father!" Zhu Houzhao didn't hide anything, because Zhu Houzhao came here for this matter, and Zhu Houzhao also knew why his father didn't directly appoint Qi You, and his father was still waiting. With fantasies, he wanted them to recommend Qi You, and then the father himself would make an appointment.

But Zhu Houzhao knew that at this time, the three cabinet scholars would never recommend Qi You, and they would never express this attitude.

This time, Qi Zhong left because of Qi You, at least because of Qi You. If the three cabinet scholars recommended Qi You, wouldn't it mean that Qi You was wrong?Why did Zhong Zhong leave?That was a letter to force His Majesty. It is said that outsiders have a very high opinion of Zhong Zhong. It is said that many people gave him gifts when he left, and some even shouted "Your Majesty's going is extremely glorious".

The civil servants also hoped that the three cabinet scholars would send him off, because that also represented a statement, but they still didn't go.

They didn't go over there, and they won't recommend Qi You here, these three guys seem to be ready to retreat to the end.

"Okay, I know what you want to say." Glancing at his son, Zhu Youtang didn't even address me, and turned his head to look at He Neng, and ordered: "Go to the cabinet to pass the decree, that is, there is a vacancy for the Secretary of the Household Department. , Qi You is very suitable, Jin Qi is especially the Minister of the Household Department, let the cabinet draw up an order!"

After saying this, Zhu Youtang glanced at his son, and said angrily: "Okay, you go back! I'm going to Kunning Palace, so don't follow me here." After saying this, Zhu Youtang Youtang flicked his sleeves and left, leaving Zhu Houzhao here alone. Obviously, he is going to his own warm harbor, where he has his queen and his beloved little daughter, who is much cuter than his son.

Zhu Houzhao stood there in embarrassment, then shook his head with a wry smile. In fact, Zhu Houzhao still had one thing to say.

Zhu Youtang also knew what Zhu Houzhao wanted to say, that is, Zhu Houzhao wanted to attack the cabinet, kill a cabinet scholar, or arrange one person to join the cabinet. After all, the cabinet now only has three university scholars, and it is okay to arrange one person.The person Zhu Houzhao wanted to arrange was the envoy Shen Lu, and let him join the cabinet as an envoy.

We must know that the general secretary now holds the power of secret rehearsal, which is not a small power. Once he enters the cabinet in this capacity, he will definitely be the real power in the cabinet.

The old man obviously saw his own thoughts, and at the same time told himself with this attitude, don't even think about it, obviously the old man thinks that he is too radical, and he needs to eat every bite, but it doesn't matter, take down a household department Shangshu can also.
