Daming 1805

Chapter 10

Zhu Jingyuan was also bewildered by the old emperor's reaction.

Those policies of transferring royal interests, the emperor, as the real patriarch of the royal family, agreed so happily...

Is it really as he expected, this was originally in his plan?Just because of identity can't take the initiative to bring it up?Your own suggestion just hits?
Or, his own decision-making criteria were not entirely based on the interests of the royal family?Is there another area under his ass?
After a little consideration, Zhu Jingyuan finally decided that the former reason was more likely.

If it is really not just on the interests of the royal family, then he should have found an opportunity to sell his interests in the first 30 years of his administration, but he did not do it at all.

In the dialogue with himself, he also asked himself like: Is it time to sell benefits?
I didn't think there was any connotation in this sentence at the time, but now that I think about it, Zhu Jingyuan suddenly felt a chill on his back.

My grandfather, this old emperor, has already had a relatively complete psychological plan for the transfer of benefits...

Resolutely agreed to his proposal, naturally repaired the benefit exchange clause, and removed the major item of alcohol prohibition.

Appease the elite group of the empire, maintain the stability of the empire's rule, while still maintaining the interests of the royal family as much as possible.

He fully represents the interests of the royal family, but he is also very clear-headed, knowing when to transfer the benefits and how to maximize the benefits of the transfer.

Make a simple and direct exchange of interests with the representative elite group of the empire on the scene, and actively compromise with the middle and lower classes of the empire who have no representative on the scene but are actually in trouble.

Then, the reform news of interest exchange and compromise was used to effectively cover up the public opinion trend that was unfavorable to the court.

For example, after the announcement of these far-reaching, huge-scale policies involving the interests of most people in the empire, the attention to the peace talks plummeted.

The princes and ministers at the scene put forward various opinions on the emperor's will, but only ignored the last peace talks related will.

This time, they didn't deliberately ignore it themselves, but they really missed the last will of the old emperor, and they all focused on the reform will in front of them.

Even Zhu Jianyan himself did not pay attention to the fact that the peace talks had been finalized. Only Zhu Jingyuan, who proposed those proposals, understood that his real task had finally come.

So when the scene was quiet again, Zhu Jingyuan suddenly bowed to the old emperor and said loudly:

"Sun Chen Jingyuan, please preside over the peace talks on behalf of the father."

Zhu Jingyuan had prepared a lot of sensational words, but now that the old emperor has eliminated the influence of the negotiation, he should not increase his influence.

Then everyone on the scene was stunned for a moment, and everyone suddenly reacted. Today's meeting of the imperial court was originally a discussion for peace!
The old emperor Zhu Zhongliang also reacted abruptly. The real purpose of Zhu Jingyuan following his father was to wait for this moment. As a result, he had captured the strong man first.

In this strange atmosphere, the old emperor paused for a second, then decisively and directly issued his will:
"It is proposed that Jian Yan, the second son of the emperor, will be moved to the clan of the clan.

"The emperor's grandson Jingyuan is the prince, acting as the head of the Honglu Temple, presiding over the peace talks, acting cheaply, and the court, the governor's office, and the consortium cooperate with each other, and there must be no mistakes."

After the two brief decrees came down, the Wenhua Palace immediately had the tendency to fry the pot again.

It was normal for Zhu Jianyan to transfer to the clan's mansion. After Renwu was restructured, the clan's mansion set up the clan's house, which was actually the elder house of the clan, and the royal advisory group.

After the new emperor ascended the throne, other brotherhoods who had passed the training of princes were revoked from their real positions and joined the "Royal Think Tank" of the Clan Academy. Zhu Jianyan is only passing ahead.

But Zhu Jingyuan, the emperor's grandson, Feng Prince, not to mention that there was no such rule after the new system of benevolence and martial arts, since the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, there was no such rule.

It stands to reason that Zhu Jianyan could not be the emperor, then Zhu Jingyuan would not be able to be treated as a prince in his entire life, at most he would only be a county king, but now the emperor gave it directly.

Acting Honglu Siqing, translated as "Acting Minister of Foreign Affairs", this 15-year-old boy has directly become a minister of the Jiuqing Shangshu level in one step.

It also gave the right to "act cheaply", and also required the full cooperation of all aspects of the empire.

When these two names are added together, they have the power to mobilize the power of the entire empire to a certain extent. Zhu Jingyuan is instantly under one person and over ten thousand people.

Among all the princes and ministers, the most astonished was Zhu Jianfeng, the ninth son of the emperor. As the semi-public heir, he almost jumped up when he heard Zhu Jingyuan's position.

Glancing at the look in his father's eyes looking at his nephew Zhu Jingyuan, Zhu Jianfeng had a vague premonition in his heart.

The Ming Dynasty had two grandsons, not to mention Emperor Jianwen. The current line of emperors is also the descendant of Emperor Xuande Zhu Zhanji, the "good saint", and even the Five Elements are earth!

Although he is already a semi-public heir, as long as the final imperial decree does not come down, the old emperor may be replaced.

Almost subconsciously, Zhu Jianfeng wanted to jump out and remind his old father that it was not in line with the ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty.

Whether it is to designate Zhu Jingyuan as Zhu Jianyan's heir, or to give Zhu Jianfeng an extra prince title, it is not in line with the ancestral system.

However, the old emperor did not give the opportunity to express his opinions. After saying the two imperial decrees, he took a breath, and immediately said loudly with anger:
"The prince is sealed for the sake of peace talks. Anyone who has an opinion should go to the acting head of the Honglu Temple and preside over the peace talks."

As soon as this statement came out, all the ministers immediately shriveled, including Zhu Jianfeng himself.

Although domestic reforms will definitely spark a huge heat and suppress the peace talks, no one is willing to take responsibility for the peace talks.

The few princes present were extremely regretful. They had known that they had brought their son over, and an extra princely title!

It's a pity that money can't buy it. I knew it earlier--

Zhu Jingyuan himself was stunned, the conditions given by the old emperor were really too high, completely beyond his expectations.

It is understandable to let yourself be the representative of the peace talks and give a title to mention your identity, but if you give it to the prince directly, it will exceed the standard.

It is enough to give a county king. It is the ancestral system of the Taizu era. Although the emperor will not implement it after the emperor, it is barely in line with the ancestral system.

Zhu Jingyuan was stunned for a while, before he reacted and bowed to thank him, and then prepared to find a place to sit down and relax.

As a result, just as Zhu Jingyuan was about to leave, he heard the old emperor speak again:

"Jingyuan, you want to preside over the peace talks. Let me first tell you what you think about the peace talks themselves, such as the bottom line and goals of the peace talks..."

"I……"

Zhu Jingyuan was speechless for a moment, I am just a 15-year-old boy, and now I am taking on the role of childish words, and I am here to be a tool to eliminate the influence of peace talks.

The actual negotiation must be resolved by professionals from Honglu Temple, and he himself signed on as a representative.

What can you say about the content and direction of the peace talks?Did you say it works?
But the old emperor asked, and he couldn't help but answer.

Fortunately, Zhu Jingyuan was originally a key political player, and he had already figured out how to be the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple.

So Zhu Jingyuan surrendered to the minister and the emperor again, and then continued to explain his judgment.
