‘What do you think?’

The words fell.

Zhu Youtang lowered his eyes slightly and fell silent.

After a while, he took a deep breath and looked at the officials below.

Come to think of it, he knows what to do.

"Preach my will."

"From now on, the officers and soldiers of the Beijing camp will be dismissed from serving. All the troops in service will return to the camp. No one in the future will be allowed to serve in the army again."

The emperor's holy words fell into the ears of the officials in front of the Meridian Gate.

All these officials were stunned when they heard that they had been occupying the capital camp for more than ten years. The soldiers in the capital had almost forgotten their identity as military households while working hard.

Why did it happen so suddenly today? Is His Majesty the Emperor's speed of turning too fast?

"Liu Daxia."

Zhu Youtang glanced around the officials, and finally landed on Liu Daxia, the Minister of War among the officials.

"The Ministry of War will immediately reorganize the capital camp. All the money and money needed can be withdrawn from Taicang. The Ministry of Revenue cannot delay."

Liu Daxia was stunned for a moment, and then he was ecstatic.

As the Secretary of the Ministry of War, he naturally understands the depleted military preparations of the Hongzhi Dynasty, and he also knows what kind of shabby state the Beijing Camp is in now.

From the 200,000 elite Beijing troops during the Chenghua period, after more than ten years, there are now only less than 60,000 laborers left, and the rest have disappeared.

He has long wanted to rectify the capital camp. After all, the country does not have a strong army and no good commanders. Once it encounters a big battle, it can only wait for the country to be destroyed.

However, the emperor was so immersed in the peace memorials of his ministers that he did not consider the combat power of the Beijing camp at all.

"Obey!"

Liu Daxia was already smiling.

Several people in the household department wanted to scold them. They should not delay returning the household department. Is this a matter of delaying or not delaying?

Withdraw from Taicang? You have been building temples year after year, treating the money like water, and never settling your feelings? Taicang only has one million taels of silver now, so you still want to withdraw money!

Your old Tailing still owes hundreds of thousands of taels of project payment, isn't it time to pay it back from the inner treasury?

"From today on, all temples and temples under construction will be stopped, and the money allocated will be returned to Taicang."

"All temples and temples that have been built will stop all fasting and worship."

Another holy metaphor from Emperor Hongzhi fell on the ears of all officials.

The three cabinet ministers were even more confused after hearing this.

What kind of blow did His Majesty the Emperor receive? Why did he suddenly change his gender?

Kill the relatives, rectify the capital camp, and stop cultivating immortals.

Good guy, after this, are you planning to become a serious and wise king?

It’s not just the three cabinet ministers who are muttering.

Hundreds of officials, six ministries and nine ministers all had their hearts pounding, and they all had the same thought: This is too bad, the emperor will not be fooled in the future.

Just as these officials were feeling overwhelmed, Emperor Hongzhi's voice came up again.

"I am physically ill."

"Therefore, from now on, the crown prince is ordered to ascend to the Wenhua Palace with a seal, handle the affairs of the common people, support the army and supervise the country."

"Everything that Bai Si has reported is decided by the Crown Prince."

If we talk about the previous two paragraphs, Baiguan can also understand that the emperor suddenly changed his mind and wanted to show his ambition as a wise king.

But after the third paragraph came out, the cabinet, the six ministries, the nine ministers, and all the officials were instantly confused.

The prince supervises the country? What a joke!

Our Ming Dynasty has not had such a tradition since Hongxi!

(Before the Baozong expedition, Zhu Jianshen, who was less than three years old, was appointed as the prince, with the prince supervising the country and the empress dowager regent. This period is not the actual prince supervising the country and is not included in it)

"Your Majesty, no!"

Mr. Xie Qian and Xie Ge from the cabinet were the first to stand up.

"His Royal Highness is young, has a greedy temperament, and has never dealt with major national affairs. How can he take on such an important responsibility!"

Good guy.

Such treacherous words against the crown prince's supervision of the country were only dared to be said in the Hongzhi Dynasty.

In front of the emperor and the prince, he said directly that a prince who was over fourteen years old was greedy and incompetent and could not bear the responsibility of supervising the country without caring about the royal dignity.

In the Hongwu Dynasty, whoever dared to speak like this would be thrown directly into the bottom of the Qinhuai River by Lao Zhu in the next second.

"Yes, yes, it's very inappropriate."

"We ask your Majesty to take back the prince's order to supervise the country."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince cannot even control himself, how can he supervise a huge country?"

"………………"

The officials were whispering to each other, and the sound of discussion spread to the morning gate tower.

Just when Zhu Youtang was about to speak to stop him, he suddenly realized that Zhu Houzhao, who had been standing next to him, was missing.

Look again.

I don't know when, Zhu Houzhao appeared in front of the Meridian Gate, holding an embroidered spring knife he didn't know where he got it from, and walked straight towards Mr. Xie Ge.

Among the three elders in the cabinet.

Both Liu Jian and Li Dongyang can be regarded as capable ministers, each with their own advantages.

Although Zhu Houzhao didn't like these two people very much, he never denied their political abilities. As long as these two people can work diligently and use them for their own use, it is still acceptable.

But this Mr. Xie has spent his whole life on this mouth.

When Zhu Youtang was still the crown prince, Xie Qian was Zhu Youtang's lecturer. After Zhu Youtang ascended the throne, Xie Qian continued to lecture to Zhu Youtang who became the emperor.

Because of his lectures, Zhu Youtang admired him very much. After a certain lecture, he was promoted to Shaozhanshi and Assistant Lecturer.

When he entered the cabinet in the eighth year of Hongzhi's reign, he also entered the cabinet as a lecturer.

Before joining the cabinet, Mr. Xie Ge had never served as a local official, let alone had any experience in governing.

Use your words to achieve life and reach the top.

Among the three ministers in the cabinet, Li Dongyang makes suggestions, Liu Jian makes decisions, and Mr. Xie is responsible for speaking, commonly known as the chief spokesperson of the cabinet.

"What is your Royal Highness going to do?!"

Seeing Zhu Houzhao walking towards Mr. Xie Ge with a knife, all the officials' expressions changed drastically. The protagonist Xie Qian had an indifferent expression on his face, quietly watching Zhu Houzhao coming towards him.

In his opinion, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is just a child showing his temper.

Zhu Houzhao ignored the question and went straight to Xie Qian with the knife in hand.

He still remembered the memorial that his father sent to the East Palace. The memorial described him as a prince worthless, worse than a common dandy.

Xie Qian once wrote a letter to Emperor Hongzhi, writing a lot in a roundabout way. In summary, he complained to Zhu Youtang, saying that Zhu Houzhao was messing around outside.

What did I mess up? If I mess up again, why would you guys mess up?!

Taking three steps and two steps together, Zhu Houzhao came to Xie Qian at very high speed, and in front of all the officials, he slashed Xie Qian diagonally with his sword.

Xie Qian's head was buzzing. He didn't expect that Zhu Houzhao would actually take the knife.

Phew~!

The sound of wind breaks the blade.

A few chopped off beards were fluttering, along with the chopped jade belt around Xie Qian's waist. The official uniform on his body instantly lost its appearance.

Zhu Houzhao has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and he has a good command of the strength of the sword. If he cuts off your beard, he will never rub your skin.

Xie Qian and all the cabinet officials were in shock and confusion.

Fourteen-year-old Zhu Houzhao slowly sheathed his sword and turned his back to the officials.

At the same time, a voice fell into the ears of Xie Qian, the cabinet, and the six officials and ministers.

It seems to be telling them: I am supervising the country, and your good days are over. Next, everyone should be more energetic.

"Mr. Xie Ge, please take care of your mouth. If you let me hear similar words next time."

"What I can chop off is your head."

Xie Qian's back was covered with cold sweat.

He could tell that Zhu Houzhao didn't sound like he was joking.

At this moment, the back of the young Crown Prince fell into the eyes of the officials, as if they were seeing the Emperor Taizu Gao who only existed in the history books.
