Chapter 63 The intention of going on a tour

With Zhu Qizhen's call, the cabinet officials all came to the Ganqing Palace.

Zhu Qizhen first gave the memorials of the other princes to these ministers.

The ministers headed by Xiang Zhong, after seeing this, their eyes moved slightly, but they did not speak much.

How could these ministers not see what even Taisun’s shallow political wisdom?

It’s just that it’s the same thing, but whether it’s the same thing to say it out loud is the same thing. It’s hard to be a small matter between the two.

The emperor is the current emperor, the emperor who has been famous for decades and is more famous than the world. He really doesn't want to live in front of the emperor, but the prince is the future emperor.

It would be fine if the prince was a weak and incompetent prince. But it was not. Looking at the prince's handling in Nanyang, he could lead troops to destroy the country, and he could steadfast the world, so that all countries in Nanyang could return to their hearts. Whether it was to govern the army or the people, he would have the skills. Everyone knows that this may not be all the credit of the prince. But as a leader, as long as he knows how to employ people, the credit of the subordinates would naturally be the credit of the prince, which is beyond doubt.

This emperor cannot be offended now, and the prince cannot be offended in the future. When the prince ascends the throne a hundred years later, they will now please the things they are now in a taint.

Therefore, no smart person is willing to stand out in this matter.

Zhu Qizhen also knew their thoughts.

Now Zhu Qizhen has no intention of making things difficult for them. He said to Huaien: "Huien."

Huaien immediately said, "I am here."

Zhu Qizhen said: "What the grandson said just now, please tell everyone."

Huaien immediately said, "Yes." Then he said everything about the grandson just now.

Xiang Zhong immediately understood the gods. The meaning of the grandson was Zhu Qizhen. Xiang Zhong immediately said, "Your Majesty, the grandson is talented and has experienced people, and is beyond the reach of me."

Zhu Qizhen said: "So, do you think it is appropriate to do it according to the grandson's wishes?"

Wang Ji said: "The wise and wise are nothing more than Your Majesty. What the grandson said is really a matter of a conspiracy in the country, and it is perfect."

Zhu Qizhen said: "Since that's the case, let's plan for this matter according to the Taisun's wishes, and the Cabinet and the Privy Council will do it."

Several people in the cabinet immediately said yes.

Zhu Qizhen coughed twice and glanced at Huaien. Huaien said, "Your Majesty, you guys, you just had a memorial. The leaders of various Mongolian tribes hoped that Tianyan would like to ask Your Majesty to go on a tour." As he said that, he handed the memorial to everyone in the cabinet.

After Xiang Zhong opened it, he did not read the contents of the memorial in detail. There was nothing good about this kind of memorial and praise. What made him think carefully was nothing else, that is, why such memorials would be in today's meeting. It was not that Xiang Zhong was suspicious. But in reality, this type of memorial can be basically transformed into one type, which is the so-called memorial.

Zhu Qizhen always wrote three words when reviewing such a kind of memorial pleas and wrote them in cursive words: "Sage Gong An." or when he was irritated, he would write one word directly in cursive writing: "An."

However, such a note also has a certain effect.

After all, Zhu Qizhen is located in the ninth level. Even if Zhu Qizhen meets ministers directly, even when he is at his most diligent, he can only see dozens of people a day. Even if he comes to pay a visit, he can only see one or two hundred people a day.

How can these two hundred people compare with all the officials in the world, especially those from other places?

Especially after Zhu Qizhen fell ill, he was particularly worried inside and outside. Zhu Qizhen used his own handwriting to announce his existence to officials all over the world.

This kind of memorial plea is the function of this, although it only has one or two words.

However, such a memorial toast has never been necessary to discuss it in the court. Although there are many kinds of writing in the memorial toast, it is actually useless.

Now that this memorial was brought up, it was an unusual thing, especially after Zhu Qizhen seriously ill, he pushed a large number of memorials to the cabinet and even sent the grandson to walk in Wenyuan Pavilion. Although it was to train the grandson, it was also to send the grandson to monitor the cabinet.

What makes Zhu Qizhen worry about is a major thing, such as the war between the prince in the south. There are also many earthquakes in Ningxia last year, and there are earthquakes again today, and severe drought in Shaanxi. During the Yellow River flood season.

These events can keep all the officials of the Ming Dynasty busy for several days.

Can the polite words of the Mongol nobles asking the emperor to inspect the emperor to discuss as a national event?

Before Xiang Zhong finished reading the memorial, he put some unusual movements in the capital together with today's memorial. He said in his heart: "Does Your Majesty intend to go on a tour?" He was already thinking of a countermeasure.

After reading the memorial by several people in the cabinet, Zhu Qizhen asked: "What do you think?"

Xiang Zhong said: "The sincere intention of the leaders of Mongolian tribes to the court is vividly expressed on paper. It is really respectable. I think it is a gift of gold, silver and satin in the name of the palace, and I just want to refuse."

Xiang Zhong disagreed with the matter of going on a tour.

First of all, the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty naturally hated the emperor's outings. First of all, this matter was a troublesome matter. Secondly, the civil officials wanted to lock the emperor in the Forbidden City as a fertility machine. The idea of ​​the government from all officials and the sacrifice from Zhu was never cut off. Of course, no one said it. Finally, Xiang Zhong was worried that it was Zhu Qizhen's body.

Yes, in fact, just the first two items would not have been forced to force Xiang Zhong to refuse.

After all, the emperor is not someone else, and Zhu Qizhen can do many things by himself. It is useless for officials to persuade him. Xiang Zhong has many things that are contrary to the emperor's intention, but what is the result? He can only do it according to the emperor's wishes. When Xiang Zhong knew that the opposition was invalid, he turned a blind eye to many things.

But now it's different.

Although Zhu Qizhen's health has improved, in fact, this aging and weakness can be seen by his close ministers.

Such a prince is far away in Nanyang, how can Zhu Qizhen go on a patrol? What will happen if he has many problems? So what will the Ming Dynasty be like?

The change in the sand dunes of Qin Sihai is a lesson from the past.

So Xiang Zhong then took Zhu Qizhen's meaning as if he hadn't seen it and did it according to the convention.

Although the Ming Dynasty established the Dusi in the south and north of the desert, it also established a heroic city in the north of the desert, that is, Longcheng. In any case, tens of thousands of elite cavalry were stationed. It was replaced every other year with the Beijing Jingying Army. The number of such troops was in sharp contrast to the fact that even a southern province could not produce more than 10,000 soldiers.

Who are these troops stationed in the bitter and cold land for?

Isn't it just to prevent these former subordinates of the Yuan Dynasty.

It’s better to be in the south of the desert. After the construction of the road, a large number of Han people appeared in the southern part of the desert, which had already formed a situation where Han and Mongolia lived in the mixed world. In recent years, many of the recruitment amounts were even recruited by the southern part of the desert. After all, the Mongolians were born with riding skills and were more prosperous in the army.

Therefore, even if you don’t go to inspect, you should give some comfort, especially when King Yi was driven out of the capital by Zhu Qizhen, who was already far away from Yili, especially this.

If Xiang Zhong’s disposal is not included in the emperor’s intention, it can be said to be stable and there is no problem.

But the memorial that can appear here is the emperor's intention. Who can ignore it?

Zhu Qizhen smiled faintly and said, "What the Chief Auxiliary said is very true, but it is too shallow to think too much. People in the world, regardless of Han and Yi, would like to abide by our Ming etiquette, be a family for our Ming people. The grudges between the Mongolian and Han dynasties have lasted for hundreds of years. Although they are now classified as family, there have always been hatred and revenge among the people, and it is not uncommon for the people to be vendetta."

"And the desert south and north are the upper reaches of the capital. When the desert south and north are safe, the capital is safe. Otherwise, the imperial army can only accumulate on the nine sides and consume tens of thousands of gold a day. No matter what the imperial court wants to do, it cannot be done. Therefore, this matter is to bridge the Mongolian and Han dynasties. This matter is not only the most important thing in the past, but now it is also the most important thing, and in the future it is also the most important thing."

"There must not be a slight slack. The prime minister is so decisive, some of it-----"

Zhu Qizhen didn't say it, but the implication was already very obvious.

Xiang Zhong immediately said: "I am ignorant and ruined the great affairs of the court. Please forgive me."

Zhu Qizhen said: "Where is the prime minister? The court affairs are extremely complicated. The chief minister has to deal with everything. It is normal for some mistakes. How could I blame the chief minister?"

Zhu Qizhen thought that Xiang Zhong was willing to obey his words when he bowed his head like this. However, what Xiang Zhong said next surprised Zhu Qizhen.

Xiang Zhong said: "What Your Majesty said is extremely true. I have been thinking about it. It is better for Your Majesty to have the same plan."

Zhu Qizhen was a little surprised and said, "Then the plan?"

Xiang Zhong said: "That is, I think the daughter of the Borjijin family should be sent to serve as the harem of the royal family. Just like the grandson, he should follow His Majesty and take a Mongolian woman as his concubine, just to promote the intention of the Mongolian and Han family in the Ming Dynasty."

Xiang Zhong’s statement is based on Zhu Qizhen’s intention, and the practices are also impeccable.

What can resolve conflicts better than marriage? The royal family took the lead in getting married in Han and Mongolia. In places like the Han and Mongolians in the south of the desert, who will remember that there are Mongolians in many years?

If the royal family in various places had married the Borjijin family before the feudal franchise, there would be many concerns, but now they are gone. The fiefs of these vassal kings are far away from the Central Plains and above the sea. Even if these Borjijin family have some power in Mongolia, they can still cross thousands of mountains, rivers and seas, and they can't go overseas.

Instead, it has become an important bargaining for the vassal kings toward the Central Plains. This is also the basis for taking over the marriage power of the vassal kings to the central government in order to restrict the vassal kings from the future.
