With a strange mood, Zhu Zaiji finally drank a small sip of the 50-year Shaoxing Huadiao that Emperor Jiajing had prepared well.
Although the wine tastes very fragrant, since Emperor Jiajing said before that this wine was used to soak his feet, Zhu Zai Di felt that the wine tasted a bit strange.
Emperor Jiajing said, "You left Gao Gong, Hai Rui, and Yan Maoqing in Nanjing, so who are you going to supervise them?"
Emperor Jiajing picked up a piece of lotus root and looked at Zhu Zaiwei and asked.
His thoughts on asking these words were very simple, just to remind Zhu Zaiji that even if he trusted, he should remember to be careful, otherwise if something happens, the problem will be serious.
Therefore, supervision, checks and balances are always the best way for superiors to manage downward.
Zhu Zaiyan put down the wine glass in his hand, and he thought for a while and said, "I plan to use Feng Bao."
"Feng Bao?"
Emperor Jiajing's memory of Feng Bao was a little blurred, and he almost forgot that there was such a person in the West Garden.
Emperor Jiajing asked again: "Where is Feng Bao now?"
Zhu Zai said, "Feng Bao is now in Shunyi."
When Emperor Jiajing heard this, he couldn't help but realize it. He finally remembered who Feng Bao was.
It turned out to be Huang Jin's godson. When he was in the battle of defense of the capital, he took the troops from the Beijing camp to Shunyi Industrial Park to rescue him. As a result, Zhu Zaiyu gave up military power on the spot, and then he stayed there.
Thinking about it now, it seems that it was a long time ago.
Emperor Jiajing said, "Feng Bao is good, obedient and honest. It's just right to put him in Nanjing to supervise Gao Gong and others."
Zhu Zai said in a huff: "Father is wise. Feng Bao is cautious and has the character of a literati and elegant man. If he put him in Nanjing, maybe he can still get along with the scholars in Jiangnan and get more secrets from Jiangnan for us."
Emperor Jiajing nodded deeply. Nanjing and Jiangnan, the names seemed to be the ones that the court knew best, but in actual administration.
Due to the distance between the capital and Nanjing, and also the transportation and information development problems in ancient society.
Even though Nanjing and Jiangnan were the top priority of the court, the court's understanding of Nanjing and Jiangnan was almost superficial.
Moreover, since ancient emperors almost always had "otaku" who would not leave the capital. Even if they were wise and wise, it was actually very difficult to truly understand a place.
For example, Emperor Jiajing, who officially ascended the throne in April of the 16th year of Zhengde, changed the reign of Jiajing the following year, and now at the end of the 44th year of Jiajing, he is also the emperor for 45 years.
But during these forty-five years, Emperor Jiajing spent almost all his life in the capital except for Anlu, who grew up young.
Just imagine a person who stays in one place for a long time, even if he has supreme power, the supreme status of the world, and the mind skills that are superior to the world.
But if he wants to understand what kind of world he is governing, he still cannot be like ordinary people with developed information in later generations. He just needs to move his fingers to roughly query and understand what kind of place he wants to understand.
So, don’t look at how smart and profitable Emperor Jiajing was praised by later generations.
But in fact, his intelligence and ability can only be displayed within a limited range.
He really wants to use his own cleverness to continuously govern the world, reform the past and innovate, and create a prosperous era that truly belongs to him, and the difficulty is no less than that of his delusion of cultivating immortals and attaining enlightenment.
Therefore, Emperor Jiajing's new policy was abandoned halfway after 20 years of Jiajing. Only Emperor Jiajing himself knew the bitterness and difficulties and the resistance he had encountered.
Moreover, during his earlier diligence, God had never given him a few decent talents, and he had few people whom he could fully trust to help him do things.
Therefore, the failure of Emperor Jiajing's new policy cannot be blamed only on Emperor Jiajing's fatigue and his evasion mentality of being addicted to cultivating immortals in the later period.
To put it bluntly, there is no team that can fully implement his will, nor is there anyone willing to tell him the truth and propose solutions.
During his decades in power, like the emperors earlier, the most problem he faced was the sting and accusations of his behavioral norms by a group of idle ministers.
When these ministers accused the emperor of the problem, they were all so righteous, as if the emperor did not restrain his behavioral norms according to their requirements, the world would be destroyed.
But this really needs to be the case in governing the world?
Although the emperor was the example of the world, his every move was naturally an important weather vane that influenced the world's atmosphere.
But how can you rule the world by relying solely on the emperor's personal morality and personal cultivation?
If this is true, then wouldn’t Wang Mang’s new dynasty become the most holy dynasty in history?
Therefore, in the proposition of governing the world, we cannot judge only the emperor's moral behavior.
To put it bluntly, to evaluate the quality of the world's governance, the four words "civilization and military achievements".
In Zhu Zaiji's view, the so-called civil governance depends on whether the people in the world live in peace and family life, whether they live with dignity and hope.
Instead of looking at how high the status of scholars in this era is, how many essays and poems are passed down from generation to generation, and how good the romantic and elegant scholars are.
The so-called martial arts also depends on how many foreign races that offend the majesty of the Celestial Empire were killed by the imperial army and how many lands that did not obey the kingdom, but on whether the imperial court can bring long-term peace to the world after conquering these foreign races and lands!
If the court had been trapped in war and devoted countless young and strong men who should have been at home to the pillars of the country to endless wars and bloodshed and sacrificed, then no matter how grand such martial arts were, it would be a carnival for one or two single men!
Therefore, when looking at the four words "civilization and military achievements", as the ruler who masters and dominates the fate of a country, he must have a sense of awe and a vigilance. He must not learn from Emperor Yang of Sui who does not spare the people's efforts to engage in political wonders for his own selfish desires.
I thought this was the unparalleled achievements I wanted to build.
Little do they know that some of the achievements seem to be tall and immortal.
But in fact, these achievements are likely to be a charming and beautiful poppy flower that takes human life!
The meal with Emperor Jiajing was used until afternoon, when Zhu Zaiji left Wanshou Palace and returned to the Wenhua Palace where he is now "working".
When Zhu Zaiyu arrived at Wenhua Hall, before Meng Chong could make new tea, Gao Gong, Hai Rui, Yan Maoqing and others were waiting in front of Wenhua Hall.
The three of them came here under the banner of thanking each other, so Zhu Zai-ji had to see him.
Therefore, Zhu Zaiji had to let them all come in.
Gao Gong hurriedly walked in front and entered the Wenhua Palace. He was anxious.
He didn't understand why Zhu Zai Di brought him out to Nanjing. You should know that this stage is a very important moment. He also thought that after entering the cabinet, he would join forces with a group of ministers to submit a memorial to Emperor Jiajing to formally appoint Zhu Zai Di as the crown prince, and fundamentally determine Zhu Zai Di's status as the heir to the Ming Dynasty.
However, the matter has not yet begun, but he was released to Nanjing. How could Gao Gong not panic? Gao Gong hurried in and bowed excitedly to Zhu Zaiji, "Prince, I don't understand why I should let me go to Nanjing at this time?"
Zhu Zaiji looked at Gao Gong with an excited face, and he just waved his hand lightly, "Mr. Gao is calm, don't be impatient, have a cup of tea first."
Zhu Zaiji asked the eunuchs in Wenhua Hall to prepare tea, and then he gave Gao Gong, Hai Rui, Yan Maoqing and others a seat.
Zhu Zaiji looked at Hai Rui with a calm expression and confusion, and Yan Maoqing with an excited expression and awe.
Zhu Zaiji said again: "Mr. Gao, look at Haiqing and Yan Qing, and they are very calm."
Gao Gong also looked back at Hai Rui and Yan Maoqing, and there was no less anxiety and excitement in his heart.
Can this be the same?
They went to Nanjing and it was a success. Who wouldn’t be happy?
But as for him, everyone knows that his next stop is the cabinet.
But even though he has entered the pavilion, he still has to go to Nanjing to be the governor of Nanzhili. What kind of official is he?
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
You should know that no matter whether it is in the current Ming Dynasty or other periods of all dynasties, as long as it is not the decline of the central court or the chaos of local warlords, there is only one place where scholars can truly cultivate themselves, govern the country and pacify the world.
Even if other places are different, as long as they are released, they will be inferior to others.
Moreover, whether this expulsion can return to Beijing smoothly and return to the center of political power is another unknown.
Therefore, Gao Gong was very worried about what villains Zhu Zai Di was deceived, so he gave him a flashy cabinet Grand Secretary, put him out of Nanjing, and then fooled Zhu Zai Di.
"Your Majesty, it's not that I don't want to go to Nanjing, but because I cannot leave the capital today. I must protect the prince and prevent the slutty from slandering the prince's reputation and destroying the prince's future at this time."
Gao Gong's words were very anxious, but they were also very real.
People in the hall, whether it is Zhu Zaiji, Hai Rui, Yan Maoqing and others, can also feel Gao Gong's anxious mentality. He is not really just for himself. He is really loyal and wants to devote himself to Zhu Zaiji until his death.
Zhu Zaiji was also moved and relieved when he listened to Gao Gong's words.
But that's all.
Although the political struggle in Beijing is also very important, Nanjing is also urgent.
Moreover, Zhu Zaiji was confident that with his current strength and status, even if he was unwilling to wait any longer, he launched a coup and forced the palace to take over the position, it would not be a problem.
However, for future political stability, Zhu Zaiji would not be anxious to use this method to gain power.
After all, Emperor Jiajing is not a suspicious person. Everyone looks like a weird old man who rebels.
He still has normal thinking and can provide Zhu Zaiyan with some other suggestions and help.
Therefore, Zhu Zaiji naturally would not rush to destroy the hard-won political peace now.
What's more, Emperor Jiajing also showed off his physical condition with Zhu Zai Di, and Zhu Zai Di also verified this matter with Li Shizhen.
Therefore, in order to give Emperor Jiajing a safe and smooth old age, Zhu Zaiji would never have the kind of rush to take the throne and coup to force the palace.
After all, from ancient times to the present, except for Li Shimin and Zhu Laosi who have gained positive recognition in later generations, most of the other people who usurped the throne and seized power have been infamous for thousands of years.
Although Zhu Zaiji also thought that he was different from those people, he could also make extraordinary achievements like Li Shimin and Zhu Laosi.
But this was just his thoughts. If he didn't succeed and if he messed up, the consequences would be no joke.
Moreover, more importantly, Zhu Zaiyu now has no group of capable ministers and generals who obey orders like Li Shimin's subordinates, nor has he ever experienced the Jingnan Campaign like Zhu Laosi's subordinates.
He was counting on his subordinates who were not sure that they would follow him along the way to the black throne to seize the throne, which was simply a joke!
What if he is on the rise and these people hesitate?
Therefore, some things cannot be done with just a slap in the forehead.
After all, Zhu Zaiji and his men, to put it bluntly, only have some friendship between the king and the ministers, and the kind of friendship that can be entrusted with their lives is still lacking.
Therefore, in order to take over the power safely in the future, Zhu Zaiji did not have to do such a thing at all.
Zhu Zai said, "I understand Mr. Gao's intentions. But there are some things that I want Mr. Gao to understand."
"Gu is not an ordinary prince.Gu is His Majesty's eldest son now and the king of the Ming Dynasty. His identity and status are unshakable. Even if Gu does not have the title of prince, it will not affect Gu's future."
"So, Gu wanted to let Mr. Gao understand that there are some things that really don't need to be too anxious or care too much. Everything has its own fixed numbers and will not change for a bunch of sluts."
Zhu Zaiji's words are also quite confident.
After listening to this passage, Gao Gong finally settled a lot.
But he still didn't understand what it had to do with asking him to go to Nanjing?
Does he have to go to Nanjing?
Gao Gong said again: "I understand the prince's meaning, but I don't understand why I want me to go to Nanjing at this time?"
Zhu Zaiji looked at Gao Gong and said, "It wasn't you who asked you to go alone. Didn't Gu let Haiqing and Yan Qing go too? You should calm down and think about why Gu made this arrangement. If you can figure out this trick, then when you arrive in Nanjing, you should understand Gu's painstaking efforts and how much trust Gu has in you!"
Zhu Zaiji all said this. After Gao Gong, Hai Rui, Yan Maoqing and others heard this, they couldn't help but gather their eyes and began to think seriously, as if this matter was really not as simple as it seemed.
Does the prince really have deep meaning?
