eldest son of Ming dynasty

Chapter 95
In this way, this matter finally had a decent result.

The emperor and the cabinet agreed that Han Wen, Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Officials, went to Quanzhou Prefecture, Fujian Province to handle the case;

Liu Daxia, the imperial censor of the Procuratorate, went to Xuanfu to deal with the military pay in the tenth year of Hongzhi, and ordered him to be transferred to Shaanxi on the spot to handle the case;
The cabinet minister Xie Qian was sent to Nanzhili; the right minister of the Ministry of Rites and Zhan Shifu Wu Kuan went to Jiangxi...

These people can be regarded as close ministers of the emperor if they are all famous. If they can't solve this problem after they all go, then basically they have to send troops. If they want to, they just want to recruit a few corrupt officials, which should not be the case.

Here, Hanwen was admitted to Jinshi in the second year of Chenghua, and he is now 58 years old. Liu Jian commented on him: The country has supported scholars for 50 and [-] years, and at that time only one Han Guandao (Hangul) was raised.

Generally speaking, he is also the kind of "gentleman" minister.

He has been an official for many years without avoiding the dignitaries. He has successively served in the engineering department, the right counselor and the left counselor in Huguang, the Zuobu political envoy in Yunnan, the right deputy capital censor, and the governor of Henan.

A proper high official.

After everyone left,
Only the emperor and prince remained in the Qianqing Palace.

Hongzhi felt really tired, he stretched out his hand, "Prince, accompany me for a walk outside."

"Yes."

Under the care of his father's servant, Zhu Houzhao crossed the high threshold.It's still a little cold outside, but it's much better than before.

From near to far from Fengtian Temple are white marble steps and a square-like open space, and at the end is a high red wall. Standing at the gate of Fengtian Temple, you can look down and see eunuchs and court ladies standing or walking.

The breeze was blowing, causing Emperor Hongzhi's hair to flutter disorderly, and it also made people's thoughts restless.

Zhu Houzhao looked up at him, and found that the emperor had no expression on his face, just looking away.

Then patted his head again,

"Father, what's the matter?"

The emperor knelt down and pinched his face, "I was thinking, you must be a better emperor than me in the future."

What do you call this abruptly?

"Does the emperor know what the son thinks?"

"Oh? What do you think?"

"What the minister thinks is that because the father is the emperor, the minister can be the emperor."

Ouch, this little guy can really talk.

Speaking of sweet, it can tire you to death.

Speaking of irritating people, those old men were almost bleeding from anger.

"You can talk." Emperor Hongzhi hugged him dotingly, probably because he was excited, and suddenly tried to hug Zhu Houzhao with his arms.

Eight or nine-year-old children are either unable to hug, or they are very hard.

Xiao Jing's worried old face panicked, "My lord, you have to be careful."

"Don't move, I'm fine." Emperor Hongzhi was in high spirits and smiled happily, "My son, what's the matter with hugging?"

Zhu Houzhao didn't know where this man got his energy, so he really took him outside and sat down in the pavilion, and let him sit on his lap.

Because he had nothing to do, he ate the cakes on the round table and chatted with the emperor.

"Zhao'er, what do you think of Liu Jian?"

This is wrong at first glance.

Zhu Houzhao had a clear mind, and he immediately thought of it. It seems that Xu Pu is not used to leaving, and Liu Jian is not as easy to deal with as his predecessor.

"I haven't quarreled with Erchen yet, so I don't know much about it."

The emperor knocked him on the head, "Are you trying to annoy all my ministers?"

"Father..." Zhu Houzhao thought for a while, then raised his head straight, "Don't you want to?"

Hongzhi was so choked that he was almost speechless, and finally he could only pretend to curse, "Little bastard."

"Actually, Father wants to say that sometimes Liu Ge is too upright and not interesting?"

"I'm still a son, I know what I'm thinking." The emperor sighed and said this sentence, "I see you little bastard, you seem to have a way to get them."

"Because...the royal father raised me to be smart."

Emperor Hongzhi saw that his son looked like a young adult, which was quite interesting.
"Zhao'er, you quarrel with your courtiers again and again... I am no longer worried about others." The emperor looked into the distance with faint eyes, "I am worried..."

Zhu Houzhao froze while eating.

"...Father is worried that some people will not support my son."

"My son is really the son of Qilin. You can guess all of this."

Therefore, Zhu Houzhao's conditions are unique.

Throughout the dynasties, the crown prince seldom dared to confront the ministers like this, because it would be dangerous if an older brother or younger brother thought about his position as the crown prince.

"What's the reason why they don't support my son? My son is just doing what they teach, love the people and be close to the people."

Emperor Hongzhi was still a little worried, he didn't want his prince to get the last enemy of the Manchu Dynasty.

In fact, these times, to some extent, it was all because of his father, or to put it simply, the prince has become a "lucky minister".

"That's the case, I'm still worried. Especially this time, when the Zhou Jing is in trouble, King Qi and King Yong should know that you are against rewarding them with land. King Qi and King Yong know that, and the princes of the world have another Who doesn't know..." Emperor Hongzhi seemed to scare himself, the more he said, the more worried he became, "Zhao'er is so young, and my health is not good..."

Yes,

Perhaps it was caused by childhood experiences,

Hongzhi's body has been relatively weak.

In fact, this is also the reason why Li Guang is highly valued. The emperor wanted to open a back door to the gods and Buddhas to see if he could improve his health.

During the Chinese New Year, he was also slightly ill.

Zhu Houzhao frowned and thought, from Hongzhi's point of view, even if he lived another ten years, he would still be eighteen or nineteen years old, still young.

In reality, he only had seven more years to live.

"Wang Jia and Yang Tinghe are not bad, they are talented. It's good to use it. Besides, it's time to get some guards." The emperor's words surprised Zhu Houzhao.

After the shock, there was a burst of warmth and emotion.

It is really a blessing for an emperor to think like this for the prince.

The military system in the Ming Dynasty implemented a special guard system, which is also very complicated to say. The main reason is that Zhu Yuanzhang’s set in the early Ming Dynasty was changed by Zhu Di, and Zhu Zhanji’s set was changed by Zhu Zhanji. After the change to Tumubao, Yu Qian changed it again, and finally Ming Xianzong, who was Hongzhi's father, changed it again.

When it arrived in Hongzhi, the imperial guards guarding the capital were divided into 26 regiment battalions and [-] guards of Shangzhiqin army. The army will be more or less under the control of civilian officials.

Of course, except for Jin Yiwei.

The Tengxiang Four Guards are also excluded.

The so-called Tengxiang Four Guards refers to the left and right guards of Tengxiang, and the left and right guards of Wuxiang, collectively referred to as the "Four Guards", also known as the "Four Guards".There are about 6000 people in each guard.

Although the Tengxiang Four Guards have been reorganized many times, they have always been under the command of the Yuma Supervisor.Other than that, the "Shangzhi Army" is no longer the word "Shangzhi". They are all confused with the ordinary troops of the Beijing camp. Although the name has not been changed, they are no longer the imperial guards commanded by the emperor himself.In terms of administration, personnel, salary, etc., it is subject to civil officials and is declining day by day.

As for the Imperial Horse Supervisor, this is an important institution second only to the Rites Supervisor.It used to raise horses, but later it began to manage the pastures and Huangzhuang, and also led the four guards and horses, so the Yumajian actually shared the military power with the Ministry of War and the financial power with the Ministry of Households. Prominent.

The admiral of Dongchang is the eunuch Bingbi, the supervisor of rites.

In Xichang, which existed for a short time, the admiral was the eunuch Bingbi, the imperial horse supervisor.

Hongzhi appointed many horse eunuchs, and the current eunuch is Ning Jin.

However, Zhu Houzhao was still surprised, "How does the father want the ministers to lead them? The Jinyiwei is the emperor's own army, the four guards of Tengxiang belong to the Imperial Horse Supervisor, and the other Beijing camps are under the Ministry of War. The emperor's favor has exceeded the limit..."

Emperor Hongzhi thought about it for a long time, and suddenly realized, what kind of brains did he use, his son's brains are alive, "I know, you have always been able to do it. As for breaking the rules...you and I are father and son, and father can give everything to you." My dear, it is difficult for the kings of all dynasties to say this, but I can say it."

So I used to read history and felt that the three characters Zhu Houzhao were really synonymous with happiness.

"That's not as good as this. It's better to keep the movement quieter. Let's change the admiral and eunuch of the imperial horse supervisor and the commander of one of the four guards. As long as the minister can move around, he will be regarded as leading a guard."

In fact, in the final analysis, who will come to the palace, but the emperor is afraid that if one day in the future... There is always someone who will protect the prince.

"Only one guard?"
