Chapter 169 Is Mr. Jiang still short of students?(2/2)
That's fine. As the eldest prince Zhu Gaochi took over the country over time, he could always slowly cultivate his own power.
But after Zhu Gaoxu was released from prison in another two months, he would be able to control the tough forces of "Tax Guard". If he was infiltrated by the administrative system of the Ming Empire and some candidates for key positions fell into Zhu Gaoxu's hands, the eldest prince Zhu Gaochi would completely lose the power of checks and balances.
"Oh, this matter is difficult!"
Xie Jin did not sing a counter-topic with Yang Shiqi, but nodded to agree with Yang Shiqi's point of view.
Now that the "Jiangnan Zhou Jin's rebellion case" has been turbulent in the government and the country. If the dispute between the crown prince starts again, there will inevitably be another bloody storm in the future.
Moreover, if Zhu Gaoxu really became the crown prince, if he waited for more than ten or twenty years, once Zhu Gaoxu ascended the throne, according to Zhu Gaoxu's violent temperament, he would definitely kill them all.
Even if Zhu Gaoxu cannot become the crown prince and only gains the upper hand in the dispute over the crown prince, the power controlled by Yang Shiqi and others will inevitably be damaged.
Yang Shiqi and others are all characters who have read history books since childhood. They naturally know that the fierce competition within the royal family and the cruelty of fighting for the crown prince are far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
"Your Highness, I have a plan!"
While pondering, the honest and honest Hu Yan suddenly stood up and spoke.
Zhu Gaochi looked at him, and a smile appeared on his fat face and asked, "What can I do if I can speak Hu?"
"I don't have a particularly good way." Hu Yan smiled bitterly, "I just feel that since this matter is unsolvable, it's better to go with the flow."
Zhu Gaochi said in confusion: "What do you mean is to wait for the tax guard to be established?"
Hu Yan nodded slightly and said, "To put it bluntly, although the second prince is the second son, he was born and died in the fourth year of Jingnan. His Majesty has always felt that he owed him a lot, so His Majesty may have planned to hand over the matter of tax guards to him. If we insist on writing a letter to stop him, His Majesty would be furious."
"My opinion is that since it cannot be stopped, it is better to just write a letter to propose this matter, and at the same time propose that Zhang Fu be the deputy or the actual chief officer to control the tax guard within a controllable range."
Zhang Fu, this future famous general, is the only existence from the Jingnan Battle to the Tumu Fort Incident, and is also the only supporter of the great prince Zhu Gaochi.
"Nothing!"
Xie Jin suddenly slapped the table and angrily scolded: "This plan is not allowed, Your Highness must not be confused!"
Xie Jin looked heartbroken: "Your Majesty did this clearly to further consolidate the foundation of the Ming Dynasty's rule. If the second prince gained this power and did not know the importance of the attack, local tax revenue would be counterproductive. The second prince should never be allowed to lead the tax guards."
The few people were speechless. Xie Jin was good at everything, had high talent and experienced experience, and the only problem was his temperament, which was so crazy.
What you say is not good at.
Everyone knows that the Tax Guard will affect the interests of local gentry. The problem is, will you not change the euphemism?
Yang Shiqi frowned and said, "What should we do according to the meaning of Jie Shishu?"
Xie Jin gritted his teeth and said, "At this moment, the second prince is already in the imperial prison. We just need to try to get the censor to report another memorial and make some crimes for the second prince... The public opinion has been held back, so this matter will be stopped!"
Zhu Gaochi remained silent.
Yang Shiqi said: "This plan is inappropriate, it's too risky."
Yang Rong smiled and said, "Xie Shi Lu said it easily."
"Hmm?" Xie Jin looked at Yang Rong beside him.
Yang Rong looked at Xie Jin's aggressive gaze and paused, and said in a serious and serious manner: "If you want to pick the second prince's fault, you must have a lot of them, but do you think Your Majesty really care? According to Your Majesty's temperament, if you come up stubbornly, we can't even stuff Zhang Fu in. It's better to do it according to the method Hu Shi said."
Yang Rong's eyes had a certain sharp temperament, as if they could pierce a person's soul.
Xie Jin was speechless.
Zhu Gaochi also knew that he had to make a decision. Everyone was his supporter and was giving advice for him. If he, the person involved, did not make a decision and looked as if he was willing to let it go, would lose people's hearts.
After all, these people spent only a few months with him, not much longer than Zhu Gaoxu and Jiang Xinghuo.
Zhu Gaochi said again: "Since there is no guarantee, you can't bet. It's better to be a favor that suits the father's will. In this way, the father will feel a little grateful."
"As for Zhang Fu, he must be able to join the Tax Guard."
Hu Yan said: "Why is Your Highness so sure that this matter can be accomplished?"
Zhu Gaochi's plump body retracted into the chair, picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea, and said nothing.
And Yang Shiqi just glanced at Hu Yan, and Hu Yan suddenly realized it.
Checks and balances are the instinct of the emperor.
After several cabinet members said goodbye one after another, Zhu Gaochi sat tiredly on the rocking chair in the mansion garden. The wooden rocking chair made an overwhelming "creaking" sound.
And a small figure appeared beside Zhu Gaochi.
"Sir, Father."
Picking up Zhu Zhanji, Zhu Gaochi looked at his son's big black eyes and asked, "What's wrong? Do you want to tell your father?"
"You said Mr. Jiang, are there still students?"
Zhu Gaochi was suddenly stunned when he asked this question. He thought his son wanted to study, but he reacted in an instant.
"you mean?"
Zhu Zhanji gathered his hands and whispered to his father's ear: "Uncle Second is so majestic now, it's actually because of Mr. Jiang!"
Hearing this, Zhu Gaochi suddenly shuddered in the evening breeze of autumn.
