Chapter nine hundred and ninety eighth
Wherever the emperor is, the court is wherever he is.
Although Zhu Youlang had issued an imperial edict, he ordered the crown prince Zhu Cixuan to supervise the country.
But in fact, the prince would copy an important memorial to Hangzhou.
Among them is the prince's decisive judgment, and Zhu Youlang can also take this opportunity to carefully examine Zhu Cixuan's ability to handle government affairs.
Compared to a few years ago, Zhu Cixuan is no longer the young half-aged child, he already has some basic judgment.
But that's not enough.
Zhu Youlang does not expect Zhu Cixuan to become a hero of a generation, but to maintain his success, he must at least be like an emperor.
When you should be cruel, you should be cruel, and when you should be cursed, you should not hesitate.
Only in this way can all the officials of the court be punished and obeyed.
Judging from the memorials sent by Zhu Cixuan, Zhu Cixuan has indeed grown a lot.
Zhu Cixuan handled situations such as floods and droughts, which were very concise, and Zhu Youlang was very satisfied with it.
It seems that he did not find a teacher for Zhu Cixuanbai.
Wen Anzhi and Zhang Huangyan from the two generations of great scholars, and they taught them carefully. If Zhu Cixuan could not learn from his master, his qualifications would be too mediocre.
Although the existence of the cabinet system makes the Emperor Ming Dynasty not need to have too many abilities, he cannot be a stupid fool, and he still needs to be a good person.
Zhu Youlang now discovers the importance of cultivating successors.
The successor is not only a continuation of his bloodline, but a continuation of his policies.
If the successor is an A Dou who cannot be helped, then Zhu Youlang's policy will disappear with his Longzhu Guest.
How many prosperous times have been destroyed like this.
If Zhu Youlang could cultivate Zhu Cixuan, he would at least ensure that the Ming Dynasty would have been prosperous for decades.
Of course, in addition to these natural disasters, what makes Zhu Youlang the most worried is the Japanese disaster.
Otherwise, he would not have led the army in person and came to Hangzhou to inspect in person.
He did not believe in military generals like He Shouyi, but he could not believe in civilians in Zhejiang's officialdom.
Just talk about this Governor Wei. Even if He Shouyi did not report his assassination, Zhu Youlang could tell what this guy was like at first glance.
This kind of official who blindly flatters and attempts to be promoted by this method is very mediocre.
The reason why they can get to power is nothing more than nepotism and offering sacrifices.
As long as the people above are willing to protect him, he can be safe and worry-free even if he is a pig.
Of course this is not the situation Zhu Youlang wants to see.
If this continues, not only will the officialdom lose any vitality, but it will become a stagnant pool.
When officials protect each other until the end, the public will be filled with grievances.
Think about it carefully, isn’t this the situation in the late Chongzhen period?
Although Chongzhen's personal ability was not very strong, it would not have been destroyed so quickly.
The main reason is that the Ming Dynasty was already completely ruined.
Under this situation, it is unrealistic to expect Chongzhen to become a monk to turn the tide.
Chongzhen had not received any education from the emperor, which led to his scattering by the civil servant class and eventually broke his own hands and went to perish.
Zhu Youlang is not Chongzhen.
First, he has knowledge from later generations, and second, his vision, insight, and judgment are not comparable to Chongzhen.
He can see the key points and the essence when looking at the problem.
Take this Japanese pirate rampage as an example. Zhu Youlang saw through the rich merchants and wealthy people in Zhejiang who were hiding behind the Japanese pirates at a glance.
These guys are the armed forces that support Japanese pirates, and some wealthy merchants themselves are even "Japanese pirates".
It’s just that this Japanese pirate was quoted because most of them were Ming people.
Zhu Youlang did not believe that under his strict investigation, there was no evidence that these merchants were in contact with the Japanese.
As long as he wants to investigate, Jinyiwei and Dongchang are the sharpest daggers.
"Your Majesty, the commander of the Jinyiwei, Wang He Nian, asked for a visit."
Han Miao was obviously a little embarrassed when he said this.
First of all, Dongchang and Jinyiwei are in a competitive relationship.
Although except for Lu Bing, the commander of the commander, the Jinyiwei of all dynasties was basically suppressed by the Dongchang, this does not mean that the Jinyiwei people are willing to be dogs for the Dongchang.
It can only mean that the commanders of the Jinyiwei are incompetent, so they can only rely on others.
But Wang Henian is different.
The reason why this person was able to make a fortune is said to be because he relied on his own efforts to open the Chongqing city gate and help His Majesty break the city.
Although there are exaggerated elements, it can also explain Wang Henian's ability from one aspect.
Besides, loyalty is also very good at Wang He Nian.
At least after the emperor assigned him the task, Wang Henian could complete it very well.
Although eunuchs have a natural advantage over the Jinyiwei - that is, eunuchs have no offspring, and being a slave of the emperor will not threaten the imperial power.
But Wang Henian's priority in the emperor's mind would not be much worse.
Let’s just say that after coming to Hangzhou this time, I will investigate the case. Basically, Jinyiwei and Dongchang were carried out at the same time.
His Majesty the Emperor obviously wanted to compete with the Jinyiwei to see who had stronger abilities.
Of course, Han Miao didn't think there was anything wrong with this.
After all, the emperor needs more channels to obtain information.
If there is only one channel, the emperor's way of speaking will easily be blocked and the judgments made will easily be affected.
But one question is what if the Jinyiwei performed better than the Dongchang and won the emperor's favor?
This is what Han Miao doesn't want to see.
As a eunuch, he knew very well that everything he had obtained now was because of the emperor.
Then he was very afraid that all this would be lost because of a word from the emperor.
So no matter when and when, he must show strong abilities.
But he also knew that the emperor was most annoying to this kind of blind inclination competition.
Once the emperor finds out that he has done something wrong, the emperor will likely be severely scolded.
At that time, it was actually backfiring.
Therefore, Han Miao chose to respond to changes in a constant way.
Judging from the current situation, the emperor has no intention of favoring the Jinyiwei, so let’s take a look.
Soon Wang Henian strides to the front of the palace.
The moment he saw Han Miao, Wang Henian nodded slightly and smiled, and the two met.
He has always been very respectful to King Han Miao and He Nian.
He knew that Han Miao was a close minister serving the emperor, and he would never offend such a person.
After Wang Henian sorted out his robes and clothes, he quickly walked into the hall.
The hall was filled with fragrance, and it was ambergris.
Wang Henian is very clear about this point, and the emperor seems to prefer this fragrance.
Bypassing the screen, Wang Henian saw the emperor who was drawing next to the map.
He immediately fell to the ground, pushed the Jinshan Mountain and the Jade Pillar to perform a great tribute and said, "I wish you a greeting to Your Majesty, long live my emperor."
"Pretty, Wang Qing, how have I asked you to investigate the matter in the past few days?"
