Invincible Zhengde

Chapter 425 Explain It Well With Your Daughter-in-law
When Zhu Houzhao came to Qianqing Palace, Zhu Youtang was revising the memorial again.

Now the memorial system across the country has matured, so countless memorials gather in the Qianqing Palace every day.

Because they didn't go through the cabinet, the memorials that came in were very complicated. Fortunately, there were supervisors and they would do some screening work, otherwise my father would really be exhausted.

Zhu Houzhao felt that the secret book system had to be changed, otherwise it would be exhausting.

The key to the problem is how to change it. Once more people are involved in this matter, it will lose its confidential nature, and the memorial will be no different from the title book.

Therefore, it is not possible to delegate power to the cabinet. This is the power that I took back with great difficulty.But for the time being, it's okay, no other problems.

It's just that Zhu Houzhao is not at ease with the eunuchs. If this power is given to them, it will be easier for eunuchs to appear in the future.

Maybe we can think of a way in a new institution, such as the General Administration Department.

Now Zhu Houzhao has no good solution, but to leave it like this for the time being.His energy can't take care of this, what he has to do is the judicial reform in the capital.

Once this reform is completed, Zhu Houzhao will implement this system throughout the country.After this system is rolled out, he can do more things.

Glancing at his father, Zhu Houzhao bowed and saluted, "I see my father."

Looking up at his son, Zhu Youtang smiled and said, "Are you back?"

Zhu Houzhao's heart warmed up, and he was relieved enough to come back with this sentence. This is the love of his father for him.

So he nodded and said, "My son is back."

"That's just right, there are dozens of memorials here, you can correct them." Zhu Youxi stood up, stretched his waist, and looked refreshed.

He went straight down the Long Shuan and came to the entrance of the main hall, breathing in the fresh air with a satisfied expression on his face.

Zhu Houzhao's smile suddenly froze on his face, and then shook his head with a wry smile.The little emotion I had just had has now disappeared.

Going to the other side and sitting behind the table and chairs prepared for him, Zhu Houzhao smiled at Yang Peng as he moved the memorial to him.

In fact, this is not the first time Zhu Houzhao has done this kind of thing. The tables and chairs here are all prepared for him, and they are permanent.

Of course, the father's seat cannot be sat on, so there is the current configuration.

Zhu Houzhao was not in a hurry, he had plenty of time now, so he began to correct the memorials one by one, very quickly.

In fact, such a procedural memorial is basically not too difficult.

Most of them were affected by disasters; where people were corrupted and accepted bribes.Just arrange for people to investigate directly, and those affected by the disaster will allocate money and food for disaster relief.

It's just that the memorial came quickly, and any official could attend, reducing the time required for layer upon layer reporting.The confidentiality and effectiveness have been greatly improved, and the sacrifice is naturally the emperor's time.

After working for about an hour, Zhu Houzhao finally finished correcting the memorial.

Zhu Houzhao looked up at his father, and saw that he had asked Yang Peng to place the chair in the sun, and there was a small table beside him.Tea and candied fruit were placed on it, and Dad ate some candied fruit and drank tea, looking like he was enjoying himself.

Zhu Houzhao stood up, stretched himself, and then walked in the direction of his father.

Yang Peng also moved a chair in due course and put it aside.

Zhu Houzhao sat down immediately.

Turning his head and glanced at his son, Zhu Youtang asked with a smile, "Is it changed?"

Zhu Houzhao nodded and replied, "It's changed."

"It's better to be young. When father was your age, he was busy from morning to night every day, and he didn't feel tired. It's really not good now. After working for several hours every day, I feel back pain." Zhu Youxi looked nostalgic Said.

Zhu Houzhao really doesn't want to complain about his father, you were not in good health when you were young.If it wasn't for me to help you recuperate, I guess everyone is gone now.

But looking at his father's condition now, Zhu Houzhao is still very satisfied. At least he doesn't have any serious illnesses on his body. With him sharing the government affairs, his father's mood is also very good, and his body will naturally recover.

The current Ming Dynasty can be said to be thriving. Although there are many new problems, after all, the court is well-off.

Only when a country has money can it do more things. This is an eternal truth.

The father and son didn't say anything else, they just sat there drinking tea and eating snacks.

This is a rare leisure time for father and son.

It wasn't until sunset that Zhu Youtang said: "Tell me something quickly. It's getting late, and your mother is still waiting for me to eat!"

Zhu Houzhao was a little helpless, this dog food was stuffed for himself.

But it doesn't matter, I also have a princess, and I will go back to eat with the princess later, as if no one has a wife.

However, when it was time to talk about business, Zhu Houzhao's face became serious.

"My son wants to be in charge of the six doors." Zhu Houzhao said slowly.

After hearing his son's words, Zhu Youtang glanced at his son in surprise. His son had told him about the six doors before, but he never said that he was going to do it himself.How did you change your mind now?

"Tell me what you think?" Zhu Youtang didn't object directly, but asked his son why with a smile.

Over the past few years, apart from his occasional impulsiveness, his son has a well-organized way of doing things, and his layout is also very far-sighted.

Since the son said so, he naturally has his own ideas.Zhu Youtang is used to it, and wants to hear what his son thinks.

Zhu Houzhao said: "My son has high hopes for the six gates. At the same time, a fledgling yamen has a lot of things to do. I really can't find a suitable person to do these things, and they don't understand. So I want to come in person. Be sure, after the structure is erected, the minister will be able to retire."

Zhu Youtang glanced at his son, he knew that his son was afraid that he would misunderstand him and seize power.But he doesn't care about this. If he cared, he wouldn't have given his son so much power before.

Whether it's in the military or in the court, in fact he doesn't worry about it. There is no need for his son to rebel.

Was the rebellion just to become emperor a few years in advance?Son has no competitors.

Even Tang Taizong Li Shimin, if Li Yuan had only one son, he would not rebel.There is no need for his own son to rebel.

So even if I delegate power to him again, don't worry.

More importantly, he, Lao Zhu, is an emperor who values ​​his family, not a single husband.

He may not be a good emperor, but he must be a good father and husband.

Looking at the entire history, this point is also extremely rare, and it is unique among emperors.This is Zhu Youtang's character.

Zhu Houzhao is also glad that he came to such a place.If he transmigrated to become Jiajing's son, he probably would do nothing and just hang on.

"If you want to do it, do it!" Zhu Youtang said with a smile: "It's very rare to see you care so much about something. You don't care much about the Beijing camp, but you care so much about this matter." Heart. I also want to see how you will do."

Zhu Houzhao glanced at his father and nodded slightly.

Zhu Youtang still knows his son very well.The son never hides anything from himself. It stands to reason that he managed to hold the military power of the Beijing camp with great difficulty. How could he let it go so easily?

But the fact is the case, his son just let go.

Now, my son basically doesn't interfere with the affairs of the military. All are handled by the Military Aircraft Department, and he doesn't care about personnel adjustments. He just sets up the system.

From this point, it can be seen that the son is not attached to this bit of power.The reason why his son did things in the military was because he had done too badly before.

In the current Ming Dynasty, the military is very strong, those military planes are in charge of the ministers, and they are clamoring for war all day long, either here or there, making them look like arrogant soldiers when the country was founded.

There was no such thing before.In the past, when wanting to fight, many people would push as much as they could, and hide as much as they could.

It's different now, the military is desperately fighting for a chance to lead troops in battle.

Zhu Youtang also knew what they meant.

Now fighting a war is winning a battle, and going there is a meritorious service.The grasslands that have been occupied have priority in distribution.

This benefit was given to them by the imperial court, so it represents official position and money.Who doesn't want it?
Money touches people's hearts, and power even more touches people's hearts.These are the changes brought about by the son.

Glancing at his son, Zhu Youxi's face became much gentler.

"There is one thing I want to discuss with you." Zhu Youtang said with a smile.

"The court has already been discussing the matter of Horqin, mainly focusing on the matter of you marrying a Horqin woman. For this reason, the court has been divided into two factions, and they have been arguing all day long. I want to hear your opinion."

Zhu Houzhao was taken aback for a moment, what's there to argue about?

This is not a marriage, but just marrying a Mongolian woman.

There were quite a few Mongols living in the Ming Dynasty, including many in the military, and there were even quite a few high-level hereditary titles.

If you really check, there are many Mongolians.

Glancing at his son, he found that he was a little confused. Zhu Youtang said with a smile: "Many people think that marrying a woman from Horqin will damage the face of the royal family."

"Who said that?" Zhu Houzhao said helplessly.

You must know that there were not so many rules when the emperor married a concubine in the Ming Dynasty, but he was born in an ordinary family. This was also to avoid the monopoly of foreign relatives, and there were no other requirements.

The queen may have to think about it, but the concubine has so many things to do.

"It was said by those distinguished relatives." Zhu Youtang said helplessly.

"British Duke Zhang Mao opposed it most fiercely." He also had a weird face when he said this.

Zhu Houzhao's expression was naturally very strange.

Zhu Houzhao couldn't be more clear about the virtues of Ming's honor.

When did you become a pedant?Is this kind of old-fashioned thing they can do?
If you think about Zhu Houzhao for a while, you will know, but he still doesn't want to talk about peace.

Now in the Ming Dynasty's military, there are two top figures in the younger generation, one is Wang Shouren who is far away in the northwest, and the other is Zhang Lun, the grandson of the British Duke who is still in the capital.

Wang Shouren is based on his military exploits, and he is a representative of the emerging generals in the court. He has fought many battles in recent years, and it can be said that he is invincible.

As for Zhang Lun, he has also participated in several wars in recent years, but he is not the coach, so he is inferior to Wang Shouren in terms of status.But he has the support of old-school officers and is a representative of the younger generation of old-school officers.

If war broke out in Liaodong, Wang Shouren would naturally not be able to come back.The leader should be Zhang Lun.

This time the battle will definitely be a complete victory, and there will be many benefits. Moreover, after Zhang Lun leads the army to win the battle, his prestige and status will be improved, and he will inevitably start a new round of competition with Wang Shouren.

This is actually what Zhu Houzhao did on purpose, but he can't do it like this for everything.

Horqin is an example set by himself, and this example cannot be beaten.I will definitely be able to fight in the future, but that is a matter of the future.

However, Zhu Houzhao also understood the thoughts of the British Duke Zhang Mao. The old guy is going to die.

Now this old guy is not afraid of anything, anyway, he is going to die, and the noisy old man can't do anything to him. To put it bluntly, he is relying on the old to sell the old. Who makes him Zhang Yu's grandson and Zhang Fu's eldest son?The oldest and the highest status.

Zhu Houzhao said helplessly: "It's just that I still don't want to talk about peace."

This also proves that they have no lower limit, they dare to say anything in order to fight, and they actually turned into old school conservatives.

What else is detrimental to the royal face?
Don't you feel pain when you say this?

Check carefully, who doesn't have many beauties from other races in their family?

In the past two years, the slave trade in Ming Dynasty has been very prosperous. Except for the slaves sent to work in dangerous places, female slaves are the most popular.

Zhu Houzhao can already see white female slaves in the city, and the price is not low. As for where he got them, he doesn't know.

As the saying goes, where there is business, there is sales. The nobles of Ming Dynasty are very rich now, so naturally someone will sell novelty gadgets.

Now that they are talking about this, their conscience won't hurt?

Zhu Houzhao glanced at his father, and then said, "I'll take care of this matter. If I can convince the Duke of England, this matter can be settled in a few days."

"Then you have to talk to the Crown Princess carefully when you go back." Zhu Youtang said with a smile: "My mother and your mother are very satisfied with the Xia family, so don't cause any conflicts."

This time, it was a serious order.

Zhu Houzhao nodded. He didn't think it would be difficult to convince his princess, because this was a very normal thing.

It's not normal for Dad to be like this. How many people have written to ask Dad to choose another concubine, because there have been conflicts over this matter.

But my princess should also be envious of my mother. With the precedent of my father and mother, it is really not easy for me.

But there is nothing to discuss about this matter, just say it after you go back.

If you don't have this bit of tolerance, how can you be a queen in the future?
"Father, don't worry, my son has a sense of propriety." Zhu Houzhao said with a smile.
