Chapter 2464: Signals From the Palace

The sun shines in slantingly, and the light is clear.

The Queen Mother picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea. Seeing that Zhu Zhanji was calm, she said, "The government is stable. How long do you want to wait?"

Zhu Zhanji said: "The court has no objection to this, but it is eyeing the position of the prince's teacher, and there is an undercurrent surging."

The Queen Mother frowned and said, "So you drove away Jin Youzi and asked Xing Hebo to leave the capital temporarily?"

The Queen Mother felt that he was weak.

Zhu Zhanji looked at her and said: "Mother, I don't want Jin Youzi to be too noisy in my ears. As for Xinghe Bo, after the crown prince is established, the world will probably be shaken. The north will not be strong enough, but there will be some trouble in the south."

"What's the trouble?"

The Queen Mother paid attention to state affairs, but did not pay attention to those disputes.

Zhu Zhanji smiled and said: "The dispute between Confucianism and science."

The Queen Mother suddenly realized: "Is this a dispute between the emperor and his master?"

Only the Queen Mother dared to say this. Others would curse the emperor to die early.

Zhu Zhanji nodded and said: "It's not to compete for that position, but to compete for... what the prince will learn in the future."

The Queen Mother leaned back slightly, as if leaning on the back of the chair to resist the sudden feeling of weakness.

She squinted her eyes and looked outside, and said quietly: "Are you here after all?"

"From the time the academy began to recruit students, to the time your grandpa Huang allowed the spread of science, I knew that such a day would come, but I didn't expect that it would come so early."

"What are you going to do?"

The Queen Mother did not want Zhu Zhanji to choose sides, "You asked Uncle Xinghe to give up the title of Prince's Young Master just for today, but the public sentiment is raging, and corn will become the target of public criticism in the future."

"Sometimes the emperor should rule from the side, throw the problem out, watch them fight with a cold eye, and finally guide them to get the result they want to win. This is the way of the emperor."

The Queen Mother was not lacking in political wisdom, and even Zhu Zhanji was deeply admired.

"Mother, this matter concerns the fate of the Ming Dynasty in the next hundred years."

Zhu Zhanji said seriously: "Once the teacher after the crown prince is decided, the direction of the Ming Dynasty for the next hundred years will be set, and then..."

"Then there's endless strife."

The Queen Mother said gloomily: "How can those people give up? Once the king is not taught by them, then they have betrayed them. When the time comes..."

Zhu Zhanji suddenly smiled and said: "So I asked Uncle Xinghe to go to Shandong."

The Queen Mother said angrily: "Don't think that they couldn't guess who did it last time when the wall collapsed. If it happens again, maybe those gentry who feel they have been wronged will dare to come and knock on the wall. Then we will be in a dilemma."

Zhu Zhanji smiled and said: "Bo Xinghe is much more stable now, so naturally he won't do that kind of thing."

The Queen Mother couldn't help but laugh: "When the incident was reported, Emperor Wen and your father immediately said that it was Xing Hebo who did it. It was a prank and he hadn't grown up yet!"

Zhu Zhanji smiled and said: "Back then, Uncle Xinghe felt aggrieved, but he still knew how to behave. Now he is more steady. I think some people will know better."

The Queen Mother sighed: "That's digging into their foundation! I'm afraid it will be difficult to keep them quiet."

Zhu Zhanji said: "Mother, I have been thinking about this step for many years, and it was not until recently that I dared to be sure and make up my mind."

"When Grandpa Huang was here, they were deeply entrenched, so they couldn't be shaken. When Father Huang was here, he only had time to suppress it..."

Zhu Zhanji's eyebrows were filled with excitement: "Mother, thirty years, just thirty years, can create a formidable enemy for Confucianism, and can also make the Ming Dynasty strong. I have no shirking duty, and I have no second choice. "

The Queen Mother looked at him and said in a daze: "You are more tolerant than your grandpa.

Those people are making a fuss, but they don’t know that your forbearance can last for another thirty years. "

Zhu Zhanji glanced at Li Bin and Grandma Yu. They both lowered their heads numbly, but did not exit.

These two people are probably the Queen Mother's confidants. If the Queen Mother goes there, they will follow her.

Zhu Zhanji glanced at them coldly, and then said: "Currently, many scientific students are working as minor officials. Some people say that if you don't win the Jinshi, you will have to stop below the county magistrate. I have people burn that Memorial."

"That's the path of the former Song Dynasty! You can't go there."

The Queen Mother warned: "Martial men must be vigilant, but the path of the former Song Dynasty cannot be followed. It will destroy the Great Wall."

Zhu Zhanji smiled and said: "Don't worry, Queen Mother. I know the little thoughts of those people very well. If they want to take this opportunity to determine the status of Confucianism, it depends on whether I am a fool."

The Queen Mother said: "Now that we have decided, we must think carefully about when Uncle Xinghe will return. Don't be in the limelight, otherwise the public will be excited and there will be a lot of trouble."

"Mother, I am ready to let Qin Tian monitor the future."

The Queen Mother was slightly startled and asked: "So urgent?"

Zhu Zhanji said: "I have just reduced the world's grain tax by 10%. It may be said that it is a favor from the city, or it may be that I am worried about the people, but when the opportunity arises, we cannot give up."

The Queen Mother understood that the emperor was first using the food tax exemption to win the support of the people, and then established a reserve, which would reduce a lot of trouble.

"But why don't you establish a reserve first, and then reduce or reduce grain taxes in the name of establishing a reserve?"

Just like whenever there is a major change in the royal family, an amnesty is always used to win the hearts of the people. The Queen Mother felt that it was a bit baffling that Zhu Zhanji actually gave up this opportunity.

Zhu Zhanji said: "I am the emperor first, and I think the emperor's first job is to take care of the world, so it is enough to borrow the matter of reducing grain taxes. If you want to link the crown prince with the favor, I think these years have been wasted, and the emperors have been incompetent."

The queen mother smiled bitterly and said: "Your pride is similar to your grandfather's. You think you are the son of heaven and are confident that no one can beat you."

Zhu Zhanji said lightly: "Grandpa is the emperor I have always admired, but I know that I can't imitate others, so the reforms are like waves. These reforms are impacting those chronic diseases. I hope that before I am powerless, the Ming Dynasty can determine a pattern."

He stood up and looked outside, saying: "Running water does not rot!"

...

Then there was news in the palace that His Majesty ordered the Imperial Observatory to choose a date.

What day?

Countless people were guessing and asking.

But in the eyes of those important officials in the court, this matter was exposed.

"It's time to appoint a crown prince!"

The breeze blew in, and Hu Yi felt a chill.

...

Xia Yuanji was reviewing the expenses of the North-South Avenue in the Ministry of Revenue.

This kind of thing is quite time-consuming and requires concentration and calmness, so people without patience can't do it.

"Sir, there is news from the palace."

Xia Yuanji looked up, rubbed his eyes, and asked tiredly: "What news?"

The visitor said: "Sir, His Majesty ordered the Imperial Observatory... to select an auspicious day."

Xia Yuanji's index finger was still on his brow bone, and he was surprised to hear this: "But to appoint a crown prince?"

The visitor nodded and said: "Yes."

Xia Yuanji put down the book in his hand and shook the abacus to zero.

"Finally it's here."

He just sighed, and in the Five Military Commander's Office, Meng Ying was cursing.

"Go and call someone, if you don't come at this time, you will deserve bad luck in the future!"

So the war horses went out, and the news that the emperor wanted to appoint a crown prince spread to the homes of those military heroes, making the atmosphere a little tense.

In the Jinyiwei, Shenyang stood on the steps and said to his men with murderous intent: "The big event has come, keep a close eye on those ministers who are qualified to influence this matter. Also, warn those young people that those who dare to muddy the waters at this time will not be exiled."
