Chapter 54: Ming Dynasty’s Confidential Troubles
In Prince Yu’s Mansion.
In the afternoon, Gao Gong could not restrain his excitement and came to Zhu Zaijing.
Zhu Zaijing saw Gao Gong, who couldn't hide the smile on his face, and asked curiously: "Why are you so happy, sir?"
Gao Gong couldn't hold back his excitement and said: "The prince is very happy. Yeah! ”
Zhu Zaijing was confused. What was going on? The most unlucky person today is him.
Seeing Zhu Zaijing's lack of reaction, Gao Gong stopped playing the trick of suppressing his desire first.
Gao Gong said: "When I came to the palace, I heard that your majesty sent people from Dongchang to Yan's mansion. In my opinion, the Yan Party's climate is over."
Zhu Zaijing Oh, he said, as if he didn't feel excited at all.
Looking at Zhu Zaijing’s reaction, Gao Gong couldn’t help but asked curiously: “My lord, don’t you think this is a very satisfying thing?”
Zhu Zaijing looked at Gao Gong, and he couldn't help but sigh: "Students can understand Mr. Gao's excitement, but Mr. Gao must be overly worried about this matter."
"Your Majesty just did it last year. Xia Yan was sentenced to death. Now is the time when the court needs stability. How could your majesty touch the current chief minister? "
"Do you have to present a court cabinet with constant fighting to the world? Is this what people in the world expect?"
Zhu Zaijing's words instantly alerted Gao Gong, and Gao Gong's excitement calmed down instantly.
If the authorities are obsessed with the situation, bystanders will see things clearly. Prince Yu is not involved in government affairs, so he can only see things clearly.
But gentlemen with lofty ideals like them who are in the imperial court and have a heart for the country are easy to get excited and follow the wind.
And this sentiment is actually a bit like those network keyboard warriors of later generations who care about politics.
But is politics that simple?
The first priority of politics is stability. Only with a stable environment can the supreme power sit back and relax.
If you engage in so-called political struggle every now and then, and think about who to defeat and who to help every now and then, then that is definitely a way to die!
Because there are no people in power in this world who really care about so-called justice.
Gao Gong's expression perked up and he bowed to Zhu Zaijing: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your advice."
Zhu Zaijing watched Gao Gong bow to him like this, and waved his hand quickly: "I'm just talking nonsense, sir. Just listen to it. Don't take it seriously."
But Gao Gong has woken up at this moment, and what Prince Yu said is so right.
The first priority that the imperial court needs today is stability. The former chief minister Xia Yan and the current chief minister Yan Song have been fighting for so many years. No matter whether they are the officials of the court or the scholars of the world, they have already had enough of this. A kind of boring inner friction that alternates between left and right.
Otherwise, His Majesty the Emperor would not directly kill Xia Yan and end this endless internal strife with such a quick and easy way.
It can be seen that the current situation of the DPRK is what Zhu Zaijing said, and there will be no major changes at all.
The so-called changes are just wishful thinking of people like Gao Gong.
As for why Zhu Zaijing could see so clearly, it was actually not because of how wise Zhu Zaijing was.
It’s because Zhu Zaijing knows more or less about history, and he also has a certain understanding of the character of Emperor Jiajing.
If Emperor Jiajing hadn't been obsessed with monasticism, he would definitely have been an outstanding emperor. He could have reached the pinnacle of all kinds of power struggles and manipulations of people's hearts.
So it is absolutely fantastic to expect such an emperor to slap himself in the face and replace the chief minister he appointed! Emperor Jiajing was not a tragic king like Chongzhen who was addicted to human food.
Emperor Jiajing was much better at selecting and employing people than Chongzhen, an emperor who naturally lacked trust.
To be honest, anyone who has studied the history of the Ming Dynasty can see that if Emperor Chongzhen was not eager for success, it would not be a problem for the Ming Dynasty to survive for at least several decades.
It's a pity that Emperor Chongzhen wanted to prove himself too much, and he regarded everyone as a loser, so during his seventeen years in power, he changed more than a dozen ministers and ministers in the cabinet.
Such frequent changes of chief ministers not only make the court seem chaotic, but also fail to make the court's decrees and policies have a certain degree of flexibility.
In such turmoil, it would be strange if Ming Dynasty did not overturn.
And even if some of the chief assistants have poor character and poor abilities, at least when they are in important positions, they don’t dare to mess around easily.
So no matter how bad the Ming Dynasty was, it would not die suddenly.
If I had known that Emperor Wanli had been idle for more than twenty years and was fine, and he had also saved a fortune of thirty million taels.
With the support of this 30 million family, as long as you are not stupid, it will not be a problem for Ming Dynasty to last for at least 30 years.
It is a pity that Tianqi's poor diving skills gave Chongzhen, a man who is prone to impatient and hard-working people, a chance.
Let Daming, who was already seriously ill, be tortured to death by him.
It can be said that the death of the Ming Dynasty was really unjust!
Looking back at the current Emperor Jiajing, he is not the kind of impatient person at all.
In addition to making money and becoming immortals to make Emperor Jiajing motivated, Emperor Jiajing was best at making detours and fighting protracted wars when it came to political struggles.
The struggle within the imperial court will never be spread to the rest of the world.
It can be said that based on this alone, Emperor Jiajing can at least win one MVP in the Ming Emperor list.
After Gao Gong calmed down, he bowed to Zhu Zaijing again: "Your Majesty's words are precious. A word from your Majesty is worth more than ten years of hard study."
Zhu Zaijing smiled sheepishly, "Sir, please don't praise students like this. I still know how much I weigh. Sir is the real pillar of the country, the real pillar of talent. Will Ming Dynasty be able to do this in the future?" The realization of true rejuvenation depends entirely on noble and selfless people like Mr. The most I can do is sit back and enjoy the success and watch Mr. Gao Gong's performance. Gao Gong was moved to tears when he heard Zhu Zaijing's words.
He had no children of his own. After he was appointed by the emperor as King Yu's attendant, and after he gained King Yu's selfless and innocent trust, Gao Gong had already made up his mind to marry him. Protect Zhu Zaijing all his life and never let Zhu Zaijing be despised or insulted by anyone.
Therefore, Gao Gong had absolutely no second thoughts about Zhu Zaijing.
At this time, Zhu Zaijing looked at Gao Gong and smiled: "What are you going to tell the students today, sir?"
Gao Gong took a deep breath and replied: "Ada! This time I want to tell the prince about Ada, a serious problem in the north of the Ming Dynasty."
When Gao Gong was about to talk about Ada, Zhu Zaijing immediately I'm also in high spirits.
This Anda seems to be quite fierce. He even attacked the city of Beijing and once wanted to attack Beijing by force.
For such a fierce man, Zhu Zaijing certainly needs to know more about him, otherwise he will be sorry for the time-travel opportunity given by God.
Zhu Zaijing said excitedly: "Okay, Sir, please speak. The students have long wanted to know who this Anda is, and he can actually become the thorn in his side, the Ming Dynasty!"
