Invincible Zhengde

Chapter 38

Hearing that his son asked him to check Ye's house, Zhu Youtang didn't react for a while, and asked with some doubts: "Ye's house? Which Ye's house?"

Zhu Houzhao turned his head and glanced at his father, and said with a smile: "Of course it is Ye Qi, the emperor's household secretary, it was he who changed the payment of grain to the payment of money. There is no need to check whether he is corrupt, as long as he Let Dongchang and Jinyiwei check to see if someone in his house is working as a salt merchant."

"Check how their salt merchant business is doing, and also check when their salt business started, that's enough."

Zhu Youtang looked at Zhu Houzhao, and asked with a serious face: "How do you know these things? Who told you?"

Zhu Hou looked at his father and shook his head. Apparently Zhu Youtang thought that someone was bewitching him, so he said with a smile: "Father, no one told my son about this. It was my son who studied the salt method. The conclusion drawn, perhaps the royal father felt that what the son said was wrong and unfaithful, how could he doubt the minister, but the father and the son believed that the facts were the facts."

"Father can send someone to investigate, just do it secretly. If there are no such things, I am willing to plead guilty to Father and study with peace of mind. If there is something real," Zhu Houzhao listened, and finally sighed helplessly In one breath: "If something really happened, I don't know what to do."

Does Zhu Houzhao know what to do?Of course I know, but Zhu Houzhao can't say it. This is leaving room for it. In fact, Zhu Houzhao has said enough today.

This means that his father is Zhu Youtang. If it were another emperor, Zhu Houzhao wouldn't say these things. It's kingly way to live, how could he die!
Zhu Youtang looked at his serious son, nodded slowly and said: "It's okay, if something really happened, then it's easy to handle, you don't have to worry, leave it to the emperor!" Zhu Youtang smiled, raised his head at the same time, his eyes became firmer, it is best that his son was wrong.

"Father, uncle can't be cold hearted. I didn't promise him about Yanyin. You can find him a job so that he won't be taken advantage of by others." Zhu Houzhao raised his head and said innocently.

In fact, Zhu Houzhao didn't bother to take care of his uncle's family, but this matter has his own mother, no matter what, and Zhu Houzhao wants to deal with the salt merchants who encouraged his uncle. These people are too courageous.But Zhu Houzhao also knew that at this time, he would not make a big move. As for helping his uncle's family to make money, it was for himself.

Zhu Houzhao wants money, this is for sure, whether it is to pave the way for his own succession, or for the present, money is a must.

In fact, in Zhu Houzhao's mind, the best way is to be a red-capped businessman, to give the businessman a chance to gain status through business, and it is also convenient for the court to control.Of course, the best way is actually state-owned, that is, state-owned enterprises, which should be called imperial enterprises in this era.

The collusion between officials and businessmen is powerful and unstoppable, so what if the emperor and businessmen colluded?Who can stop it?All dead.

Zhu Houzhao doesn't have the strength or the ability now, but he can start with his uncle's house, do an experiment, make an attempt, if it succeeds, it will succeed, if it fails, it will fail.Zhu Houzhao had no psychological pressure to beat his uncle backhanded, and was a little excited.

After hearing what his son said, Zhu Youtang nodded in satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Then what can you do?"

For what his son said and did just now, Zhu Youtang was still a little uncomfortable, even a little unaccustomed, and a little disgusted, but seeing Zhu Houzhao's appearance at this time, Zhu Youtang's unhappiness disappeared again.The son is a person who takes both public and private interests into account, not a person who does not care about the public for the public, nor is he a person who seeks personal interests for the sake of love, which is very good.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youtang couldn't help but feel a little ashamed, he didn't seem to be like a son, turned his head to look at his son again, and couldn't help but feel more relieved.

Zhu Houzhao nodded, and then said: "I haven't thought about it yet, but I believe that I will soon come up with a good idea. In this way, the emperor allows my son to go out of the palace to the uncle's house. I believe I will be able to find it." One way."

"You just want to go out and play!" At this time, Empress Zhang finally spoke. The conversation between the father and son was tense just now, and she couldn't interrupt it. Now the atmosphere has finally improved a lot, which made Empress Zhang heave a sigh of relief. , but it is a good thing for the son to have more contacts with his natal family, and Queen Zhang will naturally not object.

"When you arrive at your uncle's house, be more stable!" Empress Zhang couldn't help but exhorted, with concern and worry in her joy.

Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "Queen, am I the one who has no sense of proportion?"

"Why not?" Queen Zhang said with a smile, "I've been making trouble all these years, and now I'm finally looking like an adult."

"Mother, my son is hungry, let's have dinner!" Zhu Houzhao rubbed his stomach as he spoke, and the topic changed abruptly.

However, Empress Zhang and Zhu Youtang didn't say anything, they just looked at each other and smiled, and then greeted people to eat, Kunning Palace has always eaten at a round table, and there is no meal sharing system at all.Because he was influenced by Concubine Zheng since he was a child, and his mother also died in the harem battle, Zhu Youtang was very tired of the harem battle, so he only married his mother and a daughter-in-law, and lived like ordinary people, so eating is naturally not a big deal Dining system.

There are not so many rules, and the husband and wife even chat a few words when eating, which feels like a family in the future. Zhu Houzhao likes this atmosphere and feeling very much.

While eating, Zhu Houzhao suddenly heard something, and then asked: "Father, what are you going to do about the Beijing camp?"

"Cut out some, punish some!" Zhu Youtang thought for a while, and said sadly. In fact, this is just tinkering. Thoroughly cleaning it out and rebuilding it would be too much noise, and the court's expenditure would be too great, so it would be difficult to handle.Not to mention anything else, it would be very difficult to get the cabinet together, and I don't have any good ideas for the time being.

In fact, Emperor Zhengde did this matter later, and the Beijing camp was cleaned up. Only more than 6 people were selected from the entire Beijing camp, and all the rest were eliminated.

Troops were drawn from the frontiers from all over the country to build the Beijing camp, and new methods of organization and training were adopted, which made the Ming's Beijing camp stronger and able to fight. However, after Emperor Jiajing came to power, he was busy with great etiquette. To rectify his name, get rid of all these expenses, and change them all to the establishment of Taizong Zhu Di, and even changed Zhu Di's temple name from Taizong to Chengzu, and his mind was not on this at all.
