Daming: Wanted to be a small landlord, but was forced to ascend the throne

Chapter 147
"How?"

Zhang Yu asked eagerly.

As a member of the civil official group, Zhang Yu didn't have a good impression of the clan to be honest, he was a bunch of idiots waiting to die.

Although many of them are the children of officials and eunuchs, they all came here through scientific research. He was a Jinshi in the [-] year of Chenghua, and his father was a minister of the Ministry of Rites in Nanjing;

Bai Sheng was Jie Yuan in the township examination, the second place in the palace examination, and the son of Bai Gui, the former minister of the Ministry of War.

Although the clan is a noble family, in their eyes, without the help of people from civil servant families like them, this great tomorrow will definitely not have the prosperity it is today.

It was just a coincidence that Zhang Yu and the others did not sign me when Zhou Wang Zhu Anjin granted me the title. He and Li Jie had the same views.

It's just that now that Zhang Yu is the Minister of Rites, he has Zhang Sheng's previous warning.

If he takes the lead, he will inevitably be pulled out by his colleagues to take the blame.

Facing the matter of King Xing, he had to deal with it carefully, not daring to act arbitrarily.

"Even though our Ministry of Rites is in charge of the affairs of the clan, in fact, we often do our best not to please, and the matter of Xingwang is strange, so we might as well ask the emperor to pay attention to it because the matter is too strange. You also know that the emperor is young, and he is very curious I'm very curious about it!"

"Hmm! Bingde (Bai Sheng's word), you're more thoughtful, so just do as you say."

……

Shangjing, Leopard House.

"Your Majesty, there are so many papers, there is no need to finish the approval today, and it will not be too late tomorrow."

Jiang Bin (no, it should be Zhu Bin, he has been given a national surname) brought in a cup of tea, put it on Zhu Houzhao's table and said.

"Hmph! Look at what my court has raised! No one dares to do anything, just insist on those things I did, and one by one persuades me, even the British Duke Zhang Mao came to persuade me! He I forgot what their family status is!"

Let’s look at Zhang Mao’s excerpts again:
Since the emperor's succession, Yang Wei has had a royal banquet every day, devoted himself to the general government, and the world is looking forward to governance.When you suddenly hear about the banquet, pay attention to riding and shooting, and even a small group of people will go out of the Yemen, visit the garden, indulge in pleasure and pleasure, and the ministers will be terrified when they hear it.

Zhu Houzhao threw the notebook on the ground irritably.

Damn, what a bitch, a military officer, the Zhu family has given them wealth for generations, yet he is so close to the civil official group!

A newcomer is coming to the Hanlin Academy. This guy is either giving gifts or hosting banquets, paving the way for all kinds of condescension.

His old mother died, and the cabinet adults were asked to help write the epitaph.

When he deliberately pretended to favor Liu Jin earlier, this guy even wrote a letter asking for credit for Liu Jin.

The standard wall grass is disgusting!
Now I have resigned, and I still don't stop.

If there is no accident, it should just go along with those civil servants.

Isn't it just that he transferred the frontier army and the Beijing army to strengthen himself and cause those people to panic?

"Your Majesty, don't care about them. Those civil servants are venomous. They blatantly say that their ministers are bewitching the Emperor. They compare the Emperor to... let alone..."

"By the way, the empress dowager sent someone to come in the afternoon and ask you when you will return to the palace. She said that her birthday is approaching..."

Jiang Bin picked up the folder and said.

"Her birthday is still early, so why can't I wait? The national treasury is empty. As a queen mother, she doesn't share the burden for me, but she will be a hindrance! It's not the same if it's not my mother!"

Zhu Houzhao's face was a little gloomy.

"Your Majesty, it's better not to say this..."

Jiang Bin hastily persuaded.

"Fortunately, I have you to help me. Even if I can be the emperor of Ming Dynasty, those old guys bully me when I was young. If things don't go according to his wishes, they will cry and beg, and the soft knife will grind against me. Everyone is like a mad dog. I hope to be punished to help them become famous, and I will bear with them, and one day I will definitely kill those old guys..."

"I believe that one day, I will be like Taizu and lead the Ming Dynasty!"

Jiang Bin comforted.

"Easy to say, hard to do!"

Zhu Houzhao looked a little downcast.

"The cabinet court is basically composed of those people, and there is no one from me. It is a torment for me to listen to those old guys arguing in the court every day!"

"Your Majesty, those people all entered through scientific examinations, so they are like dogs of the same feather! If the clan's sons are talented, they can also train to enter the imperial court, and maybe they can help the emperor a little bit."

Jiang Bin understood Zhu Houzhao's thoughts and followed his words.

"It's easy to say. In the 16th year of Hongzhi, the father and the king relied on someone's suggestion to let the children of the clan go to school and participate in the provincial and general examinations together with the Confucian students. There is no precedent and no approval."

"They are afraid that someone will rob them of their jobs, and when the time comes to fight with them, their father, Wang Renhou, doesn't want to get entangled with those people, so they can only shelve it.

"I have discussed this matter with my father, and I feel that allowing the children of the clan to participate in the scientific examination is also an incentive for the capable clan, and it can also reduce the burden on the court! The father just sighed, saying that those clans have been pampered for many years, even if they are given Opportunities, it is difficult for someone to succeed in scientific research, but it is just to discredit Zhu."

"Hey! The imperial court's treasury is not rich now, and it is already difficult to support those vassal kings and their heirs! Moreover, the life of those remote clans is even more miserable.

"I heard that some clansmen said that Lumi was meager, and they often encountered banknotes and arrears. The members of the poor clan were even over [-] years old and never married, and they were exposed for ten years without being buried! I would rather take the initiative to talk about government affairs, just to be able to go to prison and eat my own food!"

"I, a member of the Ming imperial family, has fallen into such a state, how can I sleep and eat well?"

Zhengde Emperor Zhu Houcong became more and more dejected as he talked, and Jiang Bin couldn't bear the desolation.

"Your Majesty, look at this booklet, it seems to be from Huguang Anlu Prefecture, and it was sent by the Ministry of Rites."

In order to divert Zhu Houzhao's attention, Jiang Bin deliberately took out a booklet, which was sent by the Ministry of Rites, as if the marking was too bizarre to make a decision.

What's so weird?
"Eh? The eldest son of King Xing is still alive?"

"Your Majesty, why is King Xing's eldest son still alive? Doesn't King Xing of Anlu Prefecture only have one son or his son? I heard that the Princess Shanhua also went there not long ago."

"This is really fucking weird! Jiang Bin, King Xing also has an eldest son, who was the first to die before! He said that Princess Xing listened to the Taoist priests and felt that the land of Anlu Prefecture was unclean. If she wanted to keep her son, It is necessary to hide the child alive and take him to a poor family or raise him in a Taoist temple in order to save his life. The eldest son was hidden from King Xing and survived, and he is now 20!"

"What? And this thing? This is too..."

Jiang Bin also found this strange.

"It's too weird, right? I've also heard about low-cost care and life-saving, but I didn't expect it to happen in my royal family. But it's really not easy for King Xing. Several children have died in these years. I heard that his current son's health is not very good. I was really worried that he would repeat the fate of the previous two kings."

"Since we decided to save our lives at a low price, will it be affected by the announcement now?"

"It is said that at the age of 20, you can recognize your ancestors and return to your family, so Princess Xing has now revealed the truth. But she will be raised outside for five years and cannot return to the palace. It is said that the child looks very similar to King Xing, just like a painting."

"Princess Xing is too courageous! She's just the daughter of a general, and she really does things..."

Jiang Bin remembered that Princess Xing's father seemed to belong to Zhongcheng Bingmasi.

"It's better to discuss it with King Xing, but Mrs. Jiang feels that the crime is serious. Although she hanged herself, she seems to be lying in bed! Hey! What is this?"

"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Rites pushed this matter over, I'm afraid they don't want to pass it so easily?"

"Hmph! Those old guys! Fortunately, there was the deterrence of Zhou Wang Zhu An's case, otherwise those things would probably be rejected again!"

"They think it's difficult to make a decision this time, and they are still sensible! No matter how foolish the king of the Ming Dynasty is, he will not recognize his heirs indiscriminately, and he is a legitimate son, and King Xing has always followed the rules. Always take the lead in donating money to help our Ming Dynasty, his heart is clear, and he is a role model for the royal family!"

"When my father was still alive, I said that among the many uncles, King Xing is the most reliable and loyal! Now that he encounters this kind of thing, I will definitely help him a little! Closing the question, I only hope that the road will be cleared!"

"The eldest son has passed the Ming Road, and he is the eldest son! According to the ancestral system, isn't that going to change the son? This matter... and those in the Ministry of Rites..."
