eldest son of Ming dynasty

Chapter 56 The Law of Employing People ([-])

The crown prince's words were resounding, and he directly responded to the statement that someone behind Wang Jia was instigated, and Wang Jia was called to take responsibility.

What is he responsible for?The world belongs to my old Zhu family.

Zhu Houzhao is saving face for his own people.The meaning in those words is actually what can a small fourth-rank organ do?You take yourselves too seriously!

But this group of people is not like Li Guang who can threaten people with death.

I have to go back and talk about Chu Jun first.

Speaking of it, the prince is the future emperor, but in most dynasties, this is actually a somewhat embarrassing political symbol.

Thinking about it as usual, who would offend the prince?Isn't that burying a hole for your future?
But that's not necessarily the case.

First, it is the so-called "integrity" of these courtiers. If they obey the prince in everything, then they should be obedient in front of the emperor, but it is not the case, right?

Second, this was not considered a reason in the Hongzhi Dynasty.But most of the time, Prince, this position is actually very delicate.

Let's put it this way.In the future, Zhu Houzhao will become the emperor, and he will also have a prince. What will happen to the ministers at that time?They all go to the prince's mansion to burn the prince's cold stove?

Then what about my emperor, the Ninth Five-Year Lord, where is the position?
So most of the time, whether it is a civil servant or an eunuch, it is easy to be killed by the emperor if he praises the prince every day.

Sometimes there are people around the prince, which are arranged by the emperor by default.Because he is a prince, he is honorable after all, and the country will be handed over to him sooner or later, to give him some team members, which can be used in the future.

But this matter has never been a simple idea like "the prince is the future emperor, I can't offend him".

Sometimes people can't help themselves.

On the other hand, if the group of people in the Dongnuan Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace suddenly knelt down to Zhu Houzhao and said gratefully that he was the reincarnation of Yao and Shun, would their future be better?

Not necessarily.

Like Zhou Jing and Wu Kuan, they were old people when Hongzhi was the prince.
They are all "right ministers and direct ministers" in the public opinion. If they flatter them here, they will directly end their political lives.

In the warm pavilion,
Zhou Jing saw that Wu Kuan was really at a disadvantage again, so he answered the question: "In this case, I dare to dare you! Please show me, His Royal Highness, why Wang Yue was appointed as the chief commander of the three sides?"

Old man Zhou's tone is harsh, which makes you uncomfortable.But he went straight and didn't make a turn, which was fine.

"I can answer this question, Mr. Zhou. But I would like to ask Mr. Zhou to answer me first. Why do you insist on opposing this matter?"

When Zhou Jing spoke, his beard trembled, "I have just said that Wang Yue has no morals and righteousness, and he clings to the treacherous minister Li Guang. How can such a villain be qualified for such an important task?"

"Can't you be competent?" Zhu Houzhao asked back, "How can I remember that Wang Yue's achievements in the northwest are not small? Mr. Zhou was an official in the court at that time, so I should remember."

Eh, that's not a good answer.

Because that is the truth.

But at this time, Wu Kuan said: "Wang Yue did make some small contributions to the court, but it is also the duty of the courtiers. What's more, rely on the virtue of the first emperor, and rely on the life of the soldiers. At that time, the victories in the northwest were not all kings. More than one person!"

Zhu Houzhao rolled his eyes in his heart,

The old guy counts you as capable, and you can get it all back.

"Master Wu means that today is different from the past. In the past, there was the virtue of the first emperor, but not now. In the past, there were soldiers who used their lives, but not now?"

Wu Kuan's old face collapsed, the prince would wear such a scary hat too much.

"When did the old minister say such a thing? There is no such meaning!"

"What do you mean?" Zhu Houzhao asked suddenly, "Wang Yue is still Wang Yue, and he has become the emperor and the soldiers. He did it at that time, but now he says no. I really don't understand. The father is so kind and wise. Isn't it enough for Wang Yue to win a battle?!"

This, this,
Wu Kuan knew that the prince had a talent for sophistry, but he didn't expect it to be so sudden and fierce.

"Your Highness!" Zhou Jing interrupted at this time.

"...Master Zhou, please wait a moment!" Zhu Houzhao raised his hand, he was taking the opportunity to gain power, so why would he interrupt you, "I don't care about other issues. But it's about my father, Lord Wu must put it down Let’s get down to it! Father, the Holy Son of Heaven, is in court, and father’s virtue, is it enough for Wang Yue to return in triumph?!"

"Your Majesty's holiness is able to protect all the generals of the Ming Dynasty to be victorious in every battle! Wang Yue is not the only one!"

Wu Kuan can't help this problem, he has already downplayed his words.

Zhu Houzhao didn't care about these details, and immediately decided after hearing this, "That's good. That is to say, you also think that General Wang Yue will lead the army and can win. Master Zhou, you heard it. Master Wu has already helped you with your problem. I answered."

This……

This can no longer be said the other way around.
Otherwise, it means that the emperor's virtue is not enough.

"Your Highness!" Zhou Jing finally couldn't hold back his words at this time, "The military situation at the border is a major matter for the court, and it doesn't matter whether you win or not. If you want to win a hundred victories outside, you will naturally rely on the emperor's holiness. This is true. In this case, why not change to a gentleman of the moment, a loyal minister of the country? Does His Highness really think that sending a villain with bad morals is beneficial to the court and the country?"

Zhu Houzhao really felt helpless for this group of people.

"Master Zhou's question was too bookish. Thousands of troops are easy to get, but one general is hard to find. If it is so easy to choose the commander of the army, the father and the others don't have to fight here. His king is more knowledgeable about soldiers, A person who knows how to fight, naturally wants to push him out at this time. Just like you, Mr. Zhou, you are an upright person, so your father let you take charge of the world's money and food. Why didn't the palace recommend you to be the chief officer of the three sides? ?”

"My lord Zhou, I really want to ask a question," the prince said with a sigh and helplessness. "Is it important to stick to the so-called justice and righteous way in my heart, or is the safety of the country and the life and death of the people more important? For the so-called He thought he was doing the right thing, but behind the right thing was that the court couldn't send out famous generals, and the Ming Dynasty didn't know how many more soldiers and people would die. Could it be that those corpses insisted on right way?"

"You have been talking for a long time. It is nothing more than who is a gentleman and who is a villain. It is reasonable for a country to use a gentleman and abandon a villain. But has any of you mentioned the soldiers at the border and the people at the border? Talent, the best in the world. By sending him, the people and soldiers of our Ming Dynasty can have the least casualties. Have you considered these things?"

Master Wu said: "But how does Your Highness know that Wang Yue can minimize the casualties of our army and civilians?"

"Then do you know?!" Zhu Houzhao asked fiercely, "Isn't this kind of thing based on past experience and examples? Wang Yue rarely lost battles with the Tatars, and he is the most likely to do this !"

"Let me say something more blunt. You Lord Zhou and Lord Wu believe it, but how many people in the court dare not speak out to support Wang Yue, because they are afraid of getting involved with Li Guang!"

"Your Highness! Your Majesty is a wise monarch, and when a wise monarch is in power, how can there be so many villains in His Highness's mouth?" Zhou Jing countered.

Zhu Houzhao waved his small hand, "Don't talk about sages and villains with me! People who are here in Qianqing Palace today, you all know if there is such a person as I just mentioned! You are all dedicated to me, Daming. Wang Yue is a famous general in the world, but now the court cannot send him out because of the situation, you all think about why this is for this palace! Is it because there are too many arguments between gentlemen and villains?"

"In the past, there were officials who heard about the matter and accused officials indiscriminately. Even you Zhou Jing became a villain! Isn't this a joke in the history books?! Now you have such an argument in front of the father. If you win, then What is the result? That is, the court sent someone who is not as good as Wang Yue, and you are happy, and I tell you that the Tatars are happier than you!"
