Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 735 Decision
Some things are beyond the control of manpower, even the emperor.But some things can be controlled by humans.

Zhu Yunying can be said to be a person with a strong desire for control, and he absolutely cannot tolerate some things in the court that are beyond his control.Some of the policies he formulated will not be allowed to be disrupted by some people. He can even be said to be stubborn on this point.

The matter of moving the capital had long been in Zhu Yunying's plan, and there was no complete choice for the capital, so he could only choose some options that looked pretty good.

It is definitely not possible to set the capital at Yingtianfu, because this is a remote corner after all, and there has never been a unified dynasty in the south that has established its capital at Yingtianfu. These can actually explain some problems.

What's more, Zhu Yunying is also very clear that the Ming Dynasty has been in existence for more than [-] years, and has been working hard to win people's hearts these years.It's just not enough in the north. Many people in the north still continue the traditions of hundreds of years in terms of habits, and they are more or less like the habits of barbarians.

From Zhu Yunying's point of view, these things need to be taken seriously. Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures have taken them back, but the people cannot be separated from their virtues.

What's more, Nurgan Dusi also needs to be controlled. Over the years, the military strength of the Ming Dynasty has been strong, and it has also opened up a lot of territory to the north.But Duoyan Sanwei and Nurgandusi are actually not necessarily so reliable.

This is the case in history. They originally belonged to the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and then returned to the Ming Dynasty after the crusade by the Ming Dynasty.But then defected again, and even invaded some places in Liaodong several times.

The same is true for Nurgan Dusi. These are places of bitter cold in the eyes of some people, and tribes such as Haixi Jurchen also mostly live in these places.It is also unrealistic to say that they have too much sense of belonging to the Ming Dynasty.

Furthermore, there were some achievements in the crusade against Tatars in the early years.Hanhai is already under Daming's control, and Hang Aishan is also under Daming's control.Tatar almost collapsed, which also means that Tatar is almost out of date now.

This shows that the current territory of the Ming Dynasty is larger than the territory of the Ming Dynasty in history, and naturally more attention should be paid to the control of the north.Even if the strength of the Tatars is not strong now, Zhu Yunying will not underestimate the recovery ability of the nomads.

More preparations must be made at this time, and the Ming Dynasty must be firmly in control of the north.

Chang Mao was called into the Hall of Martial Arts, and he didn't seem to be in a good condition, which made Zhu Yunying a little worried.But Chang Mao is in his prime and not seriously ill, so Zhu Yunying doesn't need to worry so much at this time.

"Uncle, you should also take care of your health." Zhu Yunying said to Chang Mao, "It's cold these days, you should take good care of yourself."

Chang Mao said with a smile, "Your Majesty is concerned about it. The imperial physician also examined it a few days ago. It's just a little cold."

Zhu Yunying nodded slightly, there is no need to say anything more at this time.It's enough to care about it. After all, Chang Mao is also a middle-aged man, and Chang Mao naturally knows many things in his own mind. There is no need for Zhu Yunying to worry too much at this time.

Looking at Chang Mao, Zhu Yunying said, "The emperor's grandfather passed away a few days ago, and we didn't have much thought to take care of other things. These days, many people have some thoughts in private, and they probably think that the emperor's grandfather is leaving. Now, they will have enough courage."

Chang Mao didn't know what to say, mainly because he knew something.

Don't look at Zhu Yunying who has been emperor for four years, but many people know that this is also a young emperor.Even though the power is in his hands, in the eyes of some people, there is still no comparison between him and Emperor Hongwu. Many times, people are afraid of Emperor Yingshi because they are afraid of Emperor Hongwu behind the emperor.

What's more, to be more realistic, Emperor Hongwu died, so there is no need to be afraid of him at this time.

For some policies formulated by Emperor Hongwu, some policies that many people think are bad, and policies that violate their own interests, it is obviously possible to consider changing them.They didn't dare to argue with Emperor Hongwu, but they dared to quarrel with Emperor Yingshi.

Zhu Yunying didn't care too much, and said with a smile, "Grandpa Huang is the founding king after all, no one dares to offend Long Yan. Now that we think we are easy to talk, let these people fight with us, which is also interesting."

Zhu Yunying is still very confident. Zhu Yunying is very confident about the control of the court, and the six important officials are all under his control.Zhu Yunying doesn't need to worry about losing control of some special institutions and departments.

The most important thing is Zhu Yunying's character, he is not an idealist, nor is he the kind of true benevolent king.

This also means that it is not an easy thing to fool him.If you want to fool him with some sanctimonious views, there is a high probability that Zhu Yunying will punish those who come up with bad ideas.

Let Zhu Yunying abolish Jinyiwei and Dongchang, this is something that will never happen.Such minions of the emperor are also the eyes and ears of the emperor. These factory guards seem to have some problems.But their existence allows the emperor to better understand some things.

It is true that Zhu Yunying wants to pay attention to literati, but it is obviously impossible to let the emperor only pay attention to the opinions of some Confucian children, constantly elevate the status of scholars, and give them more privileges.

While paying attention to scholars, Zhu Yunying will definitely have more demands on these scholars and will keep beating them.

"The matter of moving the capital is a foregone conclusion, and uncle should not get involved at this time." Zhu Yunying also said very bluntly, "We have made a decision on this matter. discuss."

Chang Mao hurriedly said at this time, "Your Majesty, I understand this matter. I will definitely not be pushed around on this important matter. Your Majesty decides on the national policy, and I know how to measure it."

Zhu Yunying is naturally quite satisfied with Chang Mao's answer, and he also believes that Chang Mao is not talking casually at this time.

The reason is actually very simple. Chang Mao has been like this for so many years. Basically, he has always followed Zhu Yunying closely. Regarding some policies formulated by Zhu Yunying, he is unswervingly implementing them. discount.

It is not an exaggeration to say that Chang Mao is Zhu Yunying's biggest supporter in the court, and also the biggest support in Wu Xun Group.It has been like this from the beginning, and of course there will be no change now.

Chang Mao looked at Zhu Yunying, and said, "Actually, these days, some Wu Xun families have found ministers, and to some extent they want my ministers to persuade His Majesty. They don't want to leave the prosperous place in the south of the Yangtze River. Many people's industries are in the South."

Zhu Yunying nodded slightly, he understood the truth, "Let's see, I have punished some ignorant martial arts before. If there are people who are obsessed with obsession, I don't mind punishing some more. The imperial court will naturally recognize the merits of their ancestors, but those people Don't rely on a little credit to make mistakes!"

Hearing what Zhu Yunying said, Chang Mao's heart tightened. He knew that the emperor was definitely not joking, and that the emperor meant it seriously.

The emperor's determination to move the capital was very clear, and there was obviously no room for negotiation on this matter.This matter is either to follow the emperor's will, or to be prepared to be liquidated by the emperor, there is no other choice.

"What we mean is that the lineage of King Kaiping will stay at Yingtian Mansion from now on." Zhu Yunying sighed and said helplessly, "Ying Tian Mansion is the accompanying capital after all, and the mausoleums of the emperor's grandfather and father are also here, so someone has to stay there to guard them." .”

Chang Mao has long been prepared for this. In fact, Zhu Yunying has also talked about these things before.But there were uncertainties at that time, but now it is different, and this can be regarded as a more formal notice.If there is no accident, the next step is to discuss in the court, which means a complete decision.

"There are no outsiders here. After all, we have the blood of the Chang family." Zhu Yunying said with a smile, "If the Chang family went to Peiping, such foreign relatives would be a little different after all. My grandfather also had a shadow in the army. If there is stability in the middle, there must be some civil and military disputes. If there is a fight, the Chang family will definitely be the target of public criticism."

Chang Mao naturally knew it well, he knew that the Chang family was indeed special.In fact, all these years, even if he is a bit of a dude, it seems that he hasn't done much in court.But as long as he is the emperor's uncle and he is the eldest son of Kaiping Wang Chang Yuchun, these identities will give him enough influence in the court.

It can be said that staying in Yingtian Mansion is the best for the Kaiping Wang lineage. It seems that there is a little bit of meaning to stay away from the court and leave the center of power.However, this is also a way of preservation, and these actually make Kaiping Wang's lineage more noble.

In the final analysis, Yingtian Mansion is still the accompanying capital, and the martial arts left behind in Yingtian Mansion will be mainly from the line of King Kaiping.

Moreover, the Xiaoling Mausoleum is just outside the Yingtian Mansion, and it is also close to Fengyang, the central capital. The sacrifices and other things are basically undertaken by the Kaiping King's lineage, and their identities are indeed more appropriate.

Leaving the center of power does not mean that the Chang family will be lonely. The Chang family is still the most special noble in the Ming Dynasty.

Even if Zhu Yunying is gone, the descendants of future generations will also need to admit this account.After all, Empress Ma has no relatives, and the Chang family can be said to be real relatives, relatives of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.Little Zhu needs to be recognized, and so is Little Zhu's heir.

Although some things have been clarified for a long time, Zhu Yunying still has to put on a show and discuss with Chang Mao.Even if it seems that this is a unilateral notification, it's just that it should be done as a show.

Anyway, Chang Mao is also his uncle, and the Chang family is also Zhu Yunying's mother family, so the attitude still needs to be shown.

Zhu Yunying was also quite relieved. Although Chang Mao was not capable enough, he was somewhat unable to take the lead.But Zhu Yunying has never been a hindrance, which is actually worthy of Zhu Yunying's comfort. If Chang Mao does something, Zhu Yunying will be embarrassed.

To say that Chang Mao's ability is too outstanding, Zhu Yunying may also be more embarrassed.After all, the power of the Chang Department in the military is indeed great. Zhu Yunying has not let the children of the Chang family go out to lead troops in the past few years, which is somewhat weakening the Chang Department.

As for the Xu family, which is said to be more influenced by the military, there is actually nothing to worry about.Xu Huizu's ability is very outstanding, and it seems that there are successors in Zhongshan Wang's lineage.But don't forget Xu Huizu's age, he is not too young.This is also a blue state, more than ten years older than Zhu Yunying.

And Xu Huizu's son, Xu Qin, is actually a bit of a dandy, and the Xu family doesn't seem to be particularly outstanding, and they won't always be outstanding.So when little Zhu ascended the throne, Xu Huizu might have been gone without accident.

What's more, Zhu Yunying will slowly weaken Xu's influence in the military when necessary, there is no doubt about it.It's just that there is no need to worry now, Xu Huizu will still be of great use in the next period of time.

Chang Mao left the Hall of Martial Arts, he knew what he should do.Prudence in words and deeds, this is his position for the next period of time.

In the future, there will inevitably be constant disputes in the court, and there may be some more intense conflicts.If you can keep silent and express your opinion, then you will be an existence that is ignored by others.And when it is necessary to support the emperor, he must stand up without hesitation to express his position.

These are the things he should do, and these are the roles that Chang Mao has been playing. He knows exactly what he should do instead.

Looking at the gate of the Hall of Martial Arts, Zhu Yunying's face was expressionless, "Let Song Zhong and Jiang Yu come and see me."

Wang Chengen lowered his head and left to arrange for the eunuchs under his command to deliver the decree.As the emperor's personal eunuch, Wang Cheng'en also knew that His Majesty was going to settle accounts after the fall. His Majesty would not be indifferent to some things that happened during the emperor's funeral.

Maybe His Majesty is going to start preparing to take the initiative to light a big fire, maybe His Majesty is determined to punish some people.

There is no need to feel surprised at all, and these things are indeed expected by many people.

After opening some memorials, Zhu Yunying nodded slightly.During this period of time, he really didn't have much thought to deal with government affairs. Except for some major issues that must be dealt with immediately, many of them were left behind.

Originally, the end of the year is relatively busy, and there are indeed many things big and small in the world.But now Zhu Yunying doesn't need to worry too much. Naturally, the reason is that the cabinet has still helped a little and can help Zhu Yunying with some things.

It cannot be said that the existence of the current cabinet can guarantee the normal operation of the government of the Ming Dynasty, but their existence can indeed make Zhu Yunying not need to spend too much time and energy on some small things, and he can relax a little.

This is not being lazy, these are for more efficient governance of the world, Zhu Yunying has always been satisfied with the introduction of the cabinet, and he is really not worried about the cabinet becoming bigger.

There are advantages and disadvantages, Zhu Yunying has always been very clear about this, nothing is absolutely absolute, and there is no real best of both worlds.What he has to do is to choose those whose advantages outweigh the disadvantages and which are beneficial to the Daming country and society.

These are all the responsibility of the emperor, and these are also his decisions!
