Chapter 491 Your Majesty is going to Nanjing

The emperor has been ascending the throne for eight years. After spending so long with his ministers, the ministers in the court were not happy at all.

So whether it is the emperor or the minister, they have enough understanding of each other. Everyone knows the temper of His Majesty today.

As long as it is something that Your Majesty put forward, you have constructive opinions and then take the initiative to take responsibility for doing the things well, then your contribution will not be small, and Your Majesty will not be stingy with rewards.

This has been proven countless times, the most typical example is Choi Chengxiu.

In the eyes of the ministers of the court, Cui Chengxiu is a ignorant person and has no ability at all. But because His Majesty values ​​it, Cui Chengxiu has always been promoted.

When the academy reform was carried out a few years ago, Cui Chengxiu had a lot of trouble. There were many dirty things, and everyone knew about them.

But even so, after the academy reform was successful, His Majesty still gave Cui Chengxiu a very generous reward.

After Zhu Tongmeng was transferred, Cui Chengxiu successfully became the top leader of the Censorate, and now he is the Zuodu Censor of the Censorate.

Someone outside is calling for Choi Chengxiu to enter the cabinet. Although I don’t know who made it, someone said that after all, and I don’t know when His Majesty will let him enter the cabinet one day.

Under such circumstances, who wouldn't think about getting things done?

Everyone wants to be like Cui Chengxiu, especially people like Yuan Yingtai. When he was in Liaodong, although Yuan Yingtai did not make any mistakes, he was replaced.

The person who replaced him was Xiong Tingbi.

In Liaodong for so many years, Xiong Tingbi not only stabilized the situation in Liaodong, but also made many military achievements and even killed Nurhaci with cannons.

Under such circumstances, anyone can see why Your Majesty relied on Xiong Tingbi. Then Yuan Yongtai's situation would be even more embarrassing. Your Majesty did not trust him or his abilities.

The better Xiong Tingbi does, the more embarrassing Yuan Yingtai will be. If Xiong Tingbi does not do well, Yuan Yingtai will also get some benefits.

However, the benefits are limited. After all, if Xiong Tingbi does not do well, it proves that Your Majesty is not aware of people.

Just like when Yuan Shao killed Tian Feng, if he won that battle, Tian Feng would still survive; if Yuan Shao defeated that battle, Tian Feng would have only one way to die.

Originally, everyone thought that Yuan Yingtai would have the consequences. The situation in Liaodong was so good that he would be thrown aside by His Majesty and would never use it again.

But no one expected that His Majesty would re-activate Yuan Yingtai and also gave him important tasks. However, Yuan Yingtai had not yet firmly settled his position.

Obviously this time is an opportunity. If Yuan Yingtai gets things done well, then he will be firmly in his position.

The person who stared at his position was a little unhappy. After all, there were only a few seats in the court, and if you sat on it, I wouldn’t be mine.

In addition, His Majesty does not like to mess with the court today. Since the last large-scale removal of officials, the official positions in the court have not changed yet, and there are still those people in the cabinet.

Although Cui Jingrong was added, Sun Chengzong was also transferred to the Staff Office. The stability of the high-level officials of the court can ensure the continuity of the policy. This is a benefit.

The disadvantage is that the people below cannot get up, and some people can no longer wait, so some of them can't even be suppressed in the court.

This time, Yuan Yingtai made a standout, and some people couldn't stand it.

Yuan Yingtai was very clear about his situation. He knew very well what kind of situation he was in now, and if he was not careful, he would be doomed.

Under such circumstances, Yuan Yingtai did not dare to make mistakes if he did not do anything wrong. The key is to make contributions, otherwise he would not be able to do a good job.

Now that Yuan Yingtai finally has such an opportunity, how could he let it go?

"Yes, Your Majesty. I will take out a charter after I go back." Yuan Yingtai quickly agreed.

Since it is a good opportunity, you have to do things well, otherwise problems will easily arise.

Zhu Youxiao looked at Yuan Yingtai, nodded and said, "It's so good."

"Okay, this matter is over, let's talk about the next thing." Zhu Youxiao directly changed the topic.

The ministers below were a little stunned. Was this matter decided like this? Is it some too fast?

But even so, they knew that there was no way, and what His Majesty decided was the decision.

Zhu Youzhao stood up and said, "The world has been peaceful for a long time. The people live and work in peace. Since I ascended the throne, the Ming Dynasty has been booming, the national treasury is sufficient for daily use, and the country is prosperous and the people are safe. It depends on your dear friends to do their best."

Zhu Youxiao still has a lot of experience in bragging about himself. Now he can keep his face from being red and his heart beats, and his attitude is sincere and his words are sincere.

To put it bluntly, it is possible to move yourself when you praise yourself. So when Zhu Youxiao said this, his tone was vivid and his emotions were sincere.

The people below also showed a look of emotion and admiration on their faces when they heard these words.

Your Majesty is good now, and this self-proclaimed person cannot be changed. Of course, Your Majesty can achieve such achievements.

You know, among the people, Your Majesty’s reputation is very good, and all kinds of words are praised by Your Majesty.

Many people have already praised the Ming Dynasty as Zhongxing, and Zhongxing's prosperous era, and Zhu Youxiao is naturally the wise ruler of Zhongxing.

Speaking of this, Zhu Youxiao's words changed and said directly: "For such a prosperous event, I intend to seek happiness in Nanjing and return to Fengyang to worship my ancestors. I wonder if you have any opinions?"

After these words came out, everyone's faces were not very good.

It was not a very abnormal thing for the emperor of the Ming Dynasty to go out. Emperor Zhengde visited privately everywhere and everyone had seen him. Emperor Jiajing had also left Beijing and even went to Nanjing and Fengyang.

Under such circumstances, it is no big deal for the emperor to go out for a walk. Even His Majesty wants to go to Mount Tai for the Fengshan Mountains, it is not impossible.

However, the Fengshan event was ruined by Song Renzong, and no one of the emperors in later generations went to the capital again. However, His Majesty's departure from the capital was not a big disturbance, but could scare people to death.

You know, Your Majesty has been out of the capital three times in total, and he went to Shandong for the first time. As a result, all the officials of Shandong were destroyed. Officials of all sizes were arrested, those with beheaded, and those with exile were exiled. It can be said that few of them had a good ending. Even the Kong family in Shandong were cleaned up and even killed many people.

The second time he left the capital, His Majesty went to Zhangjiakou, and then Zhangjiakou was bleeding, all the merchants were arrested and killed, and a large number of officials and generals were implicated, and they were cleaned from top to bottom.

The last time, His Majesty went to Liaodong. Fortunately, there was no cleaning from top to bottom, but he fought a war.

Everyone in the court knew that there were no fools present.

Everyone knows what money the imperial court has spent over the years.

The money from His Majesty’s inner treasury has supported the royal army over the years, and also supported the Baike Academy and the New City. The emperor paid for all kinds of expenses.

Where did the emperor get the money?

Everyone knows that the emperor is a poor man, and it is impossible for him to have such expenses with the little income of the imperial village.

The Office of the Interior does business and gives the emperor a lot of money every year. But everyone knows that there is a lot of money in this money, and it is impossible for His Majesty to spend so much every year.

So most of His Majesty’s money comes from the search of the house. In this case, who dares to let the emperor go out?

And where is the emperor going this time?

That's Nanjing!

Nanjing of the Ming Dynasty, to put it bluntly, is the entire Jiangnan. Everyone is under the emperor's butcher's knife. If the emperor stretched out his knife at this time, what would the outcome be like?

The whole of Jiangnan has money, and everyone knows. How many difficult officials are there in the court?

Even Xu Guangqi belongs to Songjiang Prefecture. If the emperor was asked to go to Jiangnan, how could they not be afraid?

So for a moment, the atmosphere in the court was strange. No one knew what to say.

If you object, Your Majesty will definitely pursue it. Your Majesty is not so easy to talk to now.

But if you don’t object, if your Majesty goes to Nanjing, there will be trouble.

For a moment, everyone was at a loss.

But Zhu Youxiao didn't care. He smiled and nodded, looking very satisfied.

The ministers reacted instantly, it was over! You can't help but not speak, you can't give Your Majesty a chance!

So someone stood up and wanted to speak, but before they could speak, Zhu Youxiao had already spoken first.

"Since you all don't object, then this matter is settled."

After saying this, Zhu Youxiao turned around and left, without even telling him how to prepare and what yamen should do.

These things can be discussed later, and we cannot continue to discuss them now. If the court's ministers oppose it, once all the messy things are revealed, it will be even more troublesome to argue.

So Zhu Youxiao walked away decisively and went straight back with his hands behind his back, leaving no chance for his ministers.

Wei Chao, who was standing next to him, did not react for a while.

The minister below reacted quickly and shouted: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty go slowly! I have a memorial!"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you can't do this!"

But such a shout did not reach Zhu Youxiao's ears at all.

Zhu Youxiao just ran away.

In this world, no one dares to go up and hold the emperor.

There was only one person who used to do this, that person was Bao Zheng. The emperor was about to run away, but Bao Zheng pulled his sleeve back and pressed it on the dragon throne. He then squirted at the emperor, spitting on the emperor's face.

In the Ming Dynasty, no one dared to do this.

After the troubledness began, Wei Chao finally reacted and shouted quickly: "Retreat the court!"

After shouting, Wei Chao looked at the ministers below.

If someone rushed up, he rushed up and beat the man down.

But it disappointed the Wei Dynasty, no one rushed up, and all the ministers returned.
Chapter completed!
