Prince of Chaos

Chapter 503

Chapter 503
Zhu Changluo suddenly had question marks all over his head, what does "you're welcome" mean.

What does this mean?
Zhu Changluo failed to keep up with the brain circuit of Emperor Wanli.

Zhu Changluo asked again: "Father, Mr. Shen has left, who will be the chief assistant next?"

Emperor Wanli's emotions had calmed down a long time ago, and he said badly: "You are the supervisor of the country, and you are the master."

Zhu Changluo suddenly felt like something was stuck in his throat and he couldn't get it out.

Originally, Zhu Changluo wanted to have a strategic and devious discussion with Emperor Wanli, but in the end, Emperor Wanli didn't talk at all.

This baffled Zhu Changluo.

Zhu Changluo said: "Shoufu, my son dare not judge lightly."

Emperor Wanli waved his fat hand, and then carefully put away the rice paper that had been drained of ink.

Emperor Wanli said: "You have supervised the country for a year, and you know more about the courtiers than I do. You can weigh it yourself and see who is suitable to be the chief assistant. This can be regarded as a little test for you."

Uh. . .

Zhu Changluo was speechless, and then he asked again: "Father, what did you say about being rude just now?"

After Emperor Wanli packed up the rice paper, he took a sip of sparkling water and said, "That's what happened just now."

"."

Zhu Changluo was speechless again, what did he just say?
Seeing that Zhu Changluo couldn't turn his head around, Emperor Wanli sighed and explained: "I'm blunt, that is to say, you can handle the affairs of state affairs according to your own discretion, and I don't care about them."

Zhu Changluo suddenly realized, so this is just being rude?
Originally, Zhu Changluo was still thinking about the metaphor of Emperor Wanli's rudeness, or what he hadn't finished speaking.

Now it seems that I have been worrying too much, and I have judged the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.

Thinking of this, Zhu Changluo couldn't help feeling ashamed, but there was still no trace of shame on his face.He still pretended to be pure and said: "Father, this is a big matter."

Wanli Emperor Ton Ton drank half a bottle and said: "It is to test you, so I will not be polite. What's the big deal. I am the emperor, you are the prince, and Daming belongs to our family. You just arrange one Shoufu will go up and do some work, and if he doesn't do well, just replace him."

"During the 11th to [-]th years of Wanli, I changed four chief assistants. You will have to go through these things sooner or later. Now, with Guotai Min'an, and my backing, you can just figure it out."

What Emperor Wanli said was really light, and it felt like changing the first assistant was like eating a meal, and he changed four in a year.

To be honest, in the year from the 11th to the [-]th year of Wanli, did you really take the initiative to change these first assistants?
Zhang Juzheng died suddenly, Zhang Siwei's father died, and Ding You was going home. Lu Tiaoyang and Ma Ziqiang were both in poor health and died of illness one after another. Then it was the turn of Shen Shixing, the younger brother of the cabinet at that time.

Otherwise, how could it be possible to change four chief assistants in just over a year?

Zhu Changluo didn't want to talk about this matter with him anymore, because if the discussion continued, it would appear hypocritical and would hurt the relationship between father and son.

Therefore, Zhu Changluo changed the subject and said, "Father, when will I send the order to retain Mr. Shen?"

The reason why Zhu Changluo asked this question is because this matter is also an unwritten practice.

Whenever the chief minister of the cabinet abdicates, the emperor will pretend to decree to keep it several times to show the deep kindness of the monarch and his ministers.

In fact, this is nothing more than a political show, whoever takes it seriously will be stupid.

However, this kind of show has to be done, otherwise it will appear that the emperor is ungrateful. How can he continue to fool the officials below to continue to be loyal?

So, this is also a political test.

When Emperor Wanli heard this question, he also had a headache.

Obviously, he couldn't escape this matter. After all, if Shen Shixing's tutor, if Zhu Changluo was to act on his behalf, the world would say that the emperor was heartless and ungrateful.

Therefore, Emperor Wanli sighed, "Okay, I will write a decree later, and you can send it to Mr. Shen's house in person. Visit him on my behalf, and tell him to take good care of his health."

Listening to Emperor Wanli's concern about Shen Shixing, Zhu Changluo knew that Emperor Wanli's words were obviously over-concerned, but he knew very well about Shen Shixing's, such senior civil servants who have gone through ten years of hardships and ups and downs, which one is not in good health Great?
Like Shen Shixing in the original historical time and space, it is an old birthday star who can live to the 42nd year of Wanli.Moreover, he was still hanging on his breath in his hometown, waiting for the imperial decree of Emperor Wanli to enter the gate before dying.

It can be said that there is no end to honor and favor.

Zhu Changluo bowed: "Yes, my son is taking orders."

Emperor Wanli spread out a piece of rice paper, wrote a cursive imperial decree on the paper, and then handed it to Zhu Changluo, and ordered: "I remember that Dong Qichang's literary talent is not bad, and he is also from Jiangsu, so let him polish this document." Will, let's go to Mr. Shen's house with you to have a look."

Zhu Changluo took the order drafted by Emperor Wanli, and then replied: "I obey the order."

After finishing the affairs on Emperor Wanli's side, and having a lunch called hot pot with Emperor Wanli, Zhu Changluo went back.

After returning to Ciqing Palace, Wei Zhongxian came in to report before Zhu Changluo had time to rest.

Wei Zhongxian said: "Master, Shen Li is here."

Zhu Changluo smiled at the corner of his mouth, he moved very fast.

Here, Shen Shixing came just as he was about to leave, so don't be too explicit about wanting to enter the cabinet.

Zhu Changluo said: "Show him in."

Shen Li soon appeared in the Ciqing Palace.

As soon as Shen Li entered the hall, he bowed and said: "My lord, see Your Highness."

Zhu Changluo said: "Mr. Shen please get up."

Then Zhu Changluo asked again: "Mr. Shen came to find Gu in such a hurry, what's the matter?"

Shen Li said: "The minister is here to report the matter of the fiefdom of His Royal Highness the third son of the emperor."

Zhu Changluo hummed and said, "Please tell me."

Shen Li said: "Your Highness, I think the emperor's third son should be named Luoyang."

Luoyang?

Zhu Changluo didn't expect that Shen Li was talking about Luoyang. In the original historical time and space, Zhu Changxun's fiefdom was Luoyang.

However, now Zhu Changluo will not seal him in Luoyang no matter what, because there are too many vassal kings and county kings in Henan.

The people in Henan can no longer afford the salaries of these clansmen.Moreover, more than ten years ago, Zhu Changluo's uncle, that is, Emperor Wanli's younger brother Lu Wang Zhu Yiliu, was sealed to Weihui Mansion in Henan.

His uncle is not a fuel-efficient lamp. He once threatened the status of Emperor Wanli. Moreover, Empress Dowager Li also favored this son very much.

In order to coax this younger brother, Emperor Wanli reassured Empress Dowager Li.

When he used to like to go to the emperor's mausoleum to pay homage to the outings, he also specially asked Lu Wang, who had not yet settled down, to lead his ministers to supervise the country.These things are still fresh in Zhu Changluo's memory.

Later, when King Lu reached his age, he was supposed to be a vassal. The fiefdom chosen by Emperor Wanli for him was Hengzhou in Huguang. As a result, half of the palace was built. This guy was unwilling and insisted on going to Weihui, thinking that Weihui was far away from the capital. Nearby, Weihui can "be close to the sky".What a sincere heart!

Therefore, under the pressure of Queen Mother Li, Emperor Wanli graciously agreed to King Lu's request and changed him to Weihui.

As a result, Henan couldn't take it anymore.

The project of Prince Lu's Mansion is really too huge. Since the Eastern Jin Rebellion, Henan has never had the glory before the Eastern Jin Dynasty.I simply can't stand the fuss about the construction project of Prince Lu's Mansion.

In the 13th year of Wanli, Zang Weiyi, the governor of Henan Province, had to ask Emperor Wanli for help: the budget for the construction of Prince Lu’s Mansion was 67 taels of silver. Dai Guangqi, who participated in Hebei Province, was stationed in Weihui, and let those guard soldiers do the coolies to build the palace.

Moreover, there is also a restless Yellow River in Henan, which bursts its embankment from time to time, like a tight rubber band, which will snap at the slightest discomfort.

If so, getting Zhu Changxun to Henan again, isn't this going to force the people of Henan to rebel?
Therefore, it must not work here.
