Chapter 243 I think he can do it
Zhu Zaijing’s words also silenced Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng.
They both understand the difficulty and the danger involved.
But now the emperor has decreed that King Yu should also serve as the prime minister for the expansion of the capital. This is an irreversible fact. No one can disobey this decree, otherwise it will be contempt for the emperor!
Of course, as Zhu Zaijing, he would not be charged with such a big crime if he disobeyed the will.
But his current status is that of someone else's son. In an era with such strict ethics, unless the Ming Dynasty could also use the Xuanwu Sect inheritance method of the Tang Dynasty, it would be impossible for Zhu Zaijing to resist the will of Emperor Jiajing.
If he resists, let’s not consider whether Emperor Jiajing will punish him.
First of all, the criticism and criticism from people all over the world will make it difficult for Zhu Zaijing to gain a foothold in this era.
Because "filial piety" plays a very important role in the ancient feudal etiquette system.
And the biggest reason why the young Emperor Jiajing was able to defeat Yang Tinghe, in addition to his own political talent, was that he firmly grasped the righteousness of filial piety.
Emperor Jiajing insisted: "I ascended the throne based on the "Emperor Ming Ancestral Instructions" promulgated by Emperor Taizu. Why do you ask me to replace my father?" This point firmly resisted all political pressure in the early days of his accession to the throne.
In the end, not only did he successfully defeat Yang Tinghe and other ministers who claimed to be experienced, but he also forcibly promoted his own father to be Emperor Ruizong, and successfully sent him to the Ancestral Temple for sacrifice.
This shows how powerful filial piety is in this era.
So, as long as Zhu Zaijing is not mentally retarded, he must not do anything disobedient to Emperor Jiajing.
And at least on the surface, at least where others can see it, Zhu Zaijing is a good boy who is filial to his father.
Therefore, Zhu Zaijing would never disobey Emperor Jiajing's will.
Moreover, Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng will not let Zhu Zaijing do any behavior or action that disobeys his father. They will also protect Zhu Zaijing at all times and ensure that Zhu Zaijing can do anything without any problems. Unexpectedly became the future master of the Ming Dynasty.
So after Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng listened to Zhu Zaijing's words, they immediately fell silent.
Then the two of them were full of fighting spirit and encouraged Zhu Zaijing: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, since you have accepted this decree, as long as the ministers are here, Yan Shifan and Yan Maoqing cannot easily follow the others. Come and hold the prince back. The two of us will keep a close eye on them and never let them escape halfway." Zhu Zaijing felt worried after hearing Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng's assurances. Very touched.
Zhu Zaijing said: "Thank you two gentlemen for your generosity. However, I am not afraid that Yan Shifan and Yan Maoqing will work against each other in the subsequent expansion project of the capital. Now what I am thinking about is how to find a person who dares to take charge of the task. Someone, help me keep an eye on the progress of this huge project."
When Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng heard what Zhu Zaijing said, they couldn't help but think deeply. Such people are indeed difficult to find.
Because anyone with a discerning eye can see how powerful Yan Shifan and Yan Maoqing are and how strong their backers are.
As long as His Majesty the Emperor is not determined to replace Yan Song, then no one will be able to shake Yan Shifan and Yan Maoqing in the slightest.
So it is really difficult to find a strong person who dares to get involved in this matter.
Just as Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng were thinking about how to find such a fierce man, Zhu Zaijing laughed. Zhu Zaijing said: "Why did I forget that Haigangfeng from Qiongzhou? If I could ask him to be transferred to the Ministry of Industry, and let him supervise all the major and minor affairs of the capital expansion project on my behalf, I think he should It's a very good choice."
When Zhu Zaijing said Hai Rui with a smile, Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng couldn't help but look hesitant.
Gao Gong and Hai Rui had some contact, but Zhang Juzheng knew very little about Hai Rui. He only knew that Hai Rui had the nickname "Elm Knot" in the household department, but not much else. Got it.
Gao Gong said: "Your Majesty, can Hai Rui do it?"
Zhu Zaijing said: "I don't know either, but I think he can do it."
Hearing Zhu Zaijing's words of trust in Hai Rui, Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng couldn't help but look at each other. , it seems there are still opponents!
However, neither of them were afraid. Instead, they were worried that Hai Rui, whom Zhu Zaijing trusted, would not be able to entrust him with important tasks.
So Gao Gong took the initiative and said: "Your Majesty, I can go and test his tone first to see if he has the courage."
Zhu Zaijing looked at Gao Gong and took the initiative to invite him. He looked positive and nodded slightly, "Okay, let's deal with this matter first. The two gentlemen will first check out Hai Rui's tone to see if he has the intention to participate in this matter. If he hesitates and shirks the blame, you two Sir, there is no need to force him. At worst, I will ask your Majesty to send a few people from Dongchang or Jinyiwei to help watch."
Upon hearing that Zhu Zaijing was looking for Dongchang and Jinyiwei, Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng immediately became uneasy.
Although the two of them are wholeheartedly dedicated to Zhu Zaijing, they still do not want famous spies like Dongchang and Jinyiwei to get involved with Zhu Zaijing.
The two of them still wanted to train and teach Zhu Zaijing to become a wise and upright king in an upright way.
So when Zhu Zaijing said what Dongchang and Jinyiwei said, Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng stood up immediately.
The two of them said at the same time: "Your Majesty, there is no need to pretend to be a royal guard in Dongchang, I and others will be able to share your worries for you."
Seeing the huge reaction of Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng, Zhu Zaijing was stunned at first, but then he understood.
Zhu Zaijing said to Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng: "Two gentlemen, don't worry, I will not use heretical methods. The way I want to go is all upright and upright."
< br>Although Zhu Zaijing told Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng like this, Zhu Zaijing also knew the importance of secret agents.
After all, people's hearts are selfish. Although the upright teachings of saints can make people sensible and honest, not all people who read the books of saints will really demand themselves according to the requirements of saints. .
Therefore, necessary supervision and undercover investigation are still indispensable.
Otherwise, wouldn't Zhu Zaijing become a fool who only listens to others and is surrounded by an information cocoon?
Therefore, Zhu Zaijing will never dislike Dongchang and Jinyiwei. Even if he does bring Hai Rui in, Zhu Zaijing will ask Huang Jin to help monitor and secretly investigate some key figures to prevent just in case.
After all, the size of the capital expansion project is too large, and it is absolutely inevitable that there will be some interest issues and corruption issues in the process.
What Zhu Zaijing has to do is to guard against subtle mistakes. At least he must know as much as possible about the tricks involved, so as not to be deceived and still cheerfully say good things to others.
