Domineering Daming

Fu Changzong didn't have any complaints about this, so he approached and said in a low voice: "Yes. Your Majesty...do you have any other orders?"

Zhu Xu turned his head and glanced at him, and said with a smile, "Wait, wait until you stabilize."

Fu Changzong glanced at Zhu Xu, vaguely guessed something in his heart, and said, "Yes."

The two walked for a while, and stopped at a fork in the road. Zhu Xu rubbed his hands, turned his head to look at the rising sun, and said, "Uncle, what do you think of the current court situation?"

Fu Changzong looked up at Zhu Xu, knowing that this was the main topic of the day, he lowered his head slightly and fell silent.

The current government situation seems to be stable, but in fact it has been tossed enough in the past few years. Many "ancestral systems" and "rules" have inexplicably "disappeared".In the past few years, the courtiers were terrified, if something happened to the emperor, Daming would have to fall apart.

Even now that the eldest son of the emperor is born, the courtiers are very worried.The current Daming is not just founding the country, so the emperor smashed Daming up and down with a hammer, what exactly is he trying to do?

Naturally, Fu Changzong would not say these words to Zhu Xu. Even he couldn't figure out what the emperor was thinking in front of him. He was not sure, so he was silent for a while, and said: "The emperor intends to establish the prestige of the cabinet, and also wants to bridge the gap between the inside and the outside. Ting, but... the minister thinks that we should not act too hastily."

Zhu Xu turned his head and glanced at him, and said calmly, "Did uncle see it? Tell me."

The inner and outer courts of the Ming Dynasty were unprecedentedly distinct in all dynasties. The confrontation between the inner court and the outer court reached its peak during the reign of Tianqi. The inner court eunuch group headed by Wei Zhongxian killed the outer court's civil servant group.In history, when Chongzhen took care of Wei Zhongxian, it was actually tantamount to letting the outer court dominate the family. He had to rely on the outer court to do everything, and was completely blocked in the palace. Subjugation is just one step away.

Since Zhu Xu ascended the throne, he has controlled the six ministries to govern the civil service group, and the inner court has also controlled them to death, so the struggle between the inner court and the inner court has been basically contained. Now that he sits in the cabinet, he is actually further controlling the outer court. This kind of struggle, internal friction is completely wiped out.

It was not surprising that Fu Changzong could see Zhu Xu, and he was not the only one who could see through this.

Fu Changzong pondered the words in his mind, and tried to use the most euphemistic words as possible, and then said: "Your Majesty, since the founding of the country, many things can be discovered. The emperor and courtiers can never be completely united. The key is a 'degree'."

The corners of Zhu Xu's eyes twitched slightly. Fu Changzong's words were a little bold, but he listened quietly with his usual expression.

Fu Changzong glanced at Zhu Xu cautiously, and then said: "The ministers of the cabinet have their own considerations, and the six ministers have their own ideas. These considerations and ideas will definitely not be exactly the same as those of the emperor. What they say in front of the emperor is not the same as that of the emperor. He...what we do later will definitely be different, this is...we have to..."

Fu Changzong stopped talking, didn't say much, feeling somewhat uneasy.It was only at this time that he dared to say that. At other times, he wouldn't say a word.

Zhu Xu listened silently without opening his mouth.

Fu Changzong looked at Zhu Xu's side face, hesitated for a while, and added as if to add: "A minister has the way of being a minister, and the emperor has the way of an emperor. These two ways must be different, but if the goals are the same, I think it can be achieved very quickly. A large degree of overlap will hold the country and the country and benefit the people of the world."

Zhu Xu folded his hands behind his back, and vaguely heard the smell, looked directly at the west, and said, "Uncle, are you worried that I will start killing again?"

Fu Changzong bowed slightly and said, "I dare not."

Zhu Xu turned his head and glanced at him, his fingers behind his back were beating rapidly.

I don't know when, some rumors started to spread among the top officials in the ruling and opposition parties, saying that after Fu Changzong and Zhou Yingqiu were transferred, Xu Dahua, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, and others will stay soon, and they will be settled by Qiuhou. After all, they are the remnants of the eunuch party, and they will be liquidated sooner or later. The time...just right.

Zhu Xu took a deep breath, looked up at some looming hills in the distance, and said: "I know, some people outside always think that I am moody, too ruthless, cold-blooded, mean and ungrateful... I don't bother to care about these things. Since Today my uncle opened his mouth, and I will also say a few words from my heart."

Chapter 889

When Fu Changzong heard Zhu Xu's words, he hurriedly bowed slightly.

These words are all heartbreaking words.

Zhu Xu didn't care about his actions, and said: "I have always hated factionalism, whether it was the former Soviet Party, the Kun Party, or the later Donglin Party, the Eunuch Party, I hate it to the extreme. Over the years, crony parties have basically been I have cleaned it up, and it takes time to clean up the residual poison in my mind. As for Xu Dahua, although his ability is limited and his conduct is not good, he has actually done things in the past few years, and I will not even give him dignity. As for the so-called Do you think I can still use it now?"

The tone is calm and calm, but it seems to have the sound of gold and stone.

Fu Changzong's expression was slightly shaken, and he immediately raised his hand and said: "The emperor is benevolent."

Zhu Xu could fully hear that Fu Changzong's words were insincere, but he could say so much, it was already embarrassing for him.

The current court situation is indeed very delicate. Every courtier has complicated thoughts and is cautious and cautious. Even the local officials are worried, awed, and fearful of Zhu Xu.

On a trip to Beijing, Zou Weilian was forced to resign with a few words in Fujian, and even stayed behind closed doors, and died of illness not long after.

Civil officials in Ming Dynasty can tell black into white, heaven into earth, they can do almost anything with a single mouth and a pen. Zhu Xu can push them into such a situation, which shows that the civil servants are not without reason to be afraid.

It is unimaginable to re-establish a new empire on top of an old empire. After all, it is not to overthrow and rebuild, and the troubles encountered are unimaginable.

Zhu Xu didn't care about Fu Changzong's duplicity, anyway he wanted to spread his words, pondered, and said: "I have a lot of ideas, but these will be discussed at the next year's conference, and my uncle will tell those people, Do things with peace of mind, I will not treat heroes badly, and I will never listen to or believe in others, and the court has no treacherous, loyal to the country, I can see it, hear it clearly, and know it clearly."

Fu Changzong raised his hand and said, "I obey the order."

Zhu Xu didn't say any more, and said: "The mountains are high and the water is long, uncle take care all the way."

Fu Changzong glanced at Zhu Xu again. At this moment, he felt a little bit reluctant, so he still raised his hand and said, "Take care, Your Majesty, I... take your leave."

Zhu Xu looked at him and didn't say much.Fu Changzong is a prudent person, talking too much will backfire.

Fu Changzong got into the carriage, five carriages, and more than 30 people walked slowly northward on the smooth concrete road.

Zhu Xu watched him leave, and heaved a sigh of relief.This can be regarded as an end to a worry, and I have to send Zhou Yingqiu off tomorrow.

When Fu Changzong's carriage turned and disappeared from sight, Zhu Xu turned his head and said, "Go, let's go back."

The crowd behind Zhu Xu was divided into two groups, one group consisted of Cao Huachun and others, and the other group consisted of Fu Tao, Wang Yizhou and others.

Zhu Xu didn't take the carriage, walked slowly, turned to look at Fu Tao behind him, and said, "Brother, I heard that your third son is about to turn [-] years old?"

Hearing this, Fu Tao stepped forward quickly, and said with a smile: "The emperor is concerned, yesterday was a hundred years old."

Zhu Xu took out a gold lock from his bosom, handed it to Fu Tao, and said, "I didn't get to go there, this was beaten by me, and I gave it to my little nephew to ensure that he grows up safely, free from illness and disaster. "

Fu Tao hastily stretched out his hand to take it over, saying: "I thank the emperor on behalf of the third son."

Zhu Xu waved his hands and smiled, and said: "No, it's okay. Let my sister-in-law take the child to sit in the palace often. Xie Yu's temper is a bit boring and he doesn't like to move around. The two little guys are playing very much. They are a family. You have to go to the palace often. move around."

Fu Tao has been on the fringes of the court all year round, and his political sensitivity is not strong, but he still vaguely heard some, and said cautiously: "Yes, I will tell you when I get back."

Zhu Xu nodded. The Fu family is inseparable from him, and sometimes he has to hold on.

Fu Tao cautiously followed Zhu Xu's side. He was not as good as his father, so he was extra cautious and never violated the rules.

He followed suit, the person in front of him was already taller than him, and he was no longer His Royal Highness King Hui who was jumping around and running around for trivial things many years ago.

"How is the current government affairs of the Royal Bank?" Zhu Xu asked after walking a few steps.

Fu Tao held the golden lock, thought for a while, and said, "Returning to the emperor, the Royal Bank has basically covered all provincial capitals in the country, and some major counties also have branches, sub-branches, and are still in the process of further developing into counties. A special branch was set up in Gold and Silver Village, under the sole responsibility of Akabane Commercial Bank, mainly for the maritime trade, old port, and Luzon provinces. We have achieved a balance of payments..."

Zhu Xu listened quietly, nodding his head from time to time.

The current world is already transitioning towards finance. Banks are the most important tool. Not only is it important to Daming itself, but it will also have an immeasurable effect on future development.

"Currently, there are more than 2000 million taels of silver deposited in banks inside and outside the capital, and about [-] million silver dollars, banknotes, and copper coins are issued..."

Fu Tao reasoned carefully, and said: "Among them, there are the most banknotes, 300 million, and most of them are issued by the army, officials and commercial firms. So far, the effect is very good, because they are all small amounts, and they can be exchanged for silver dollars at the bank at any time. , merchants, and officials are very acceptable, without major fluctuations..."

Zhu Xu said "hmm" without interrupting.

The "purity" of the newly minted coins of the Ming Dynasty is very high, much better than the silver, copper coins, and banknotes of different colors outside. The common people and merchants are very willing to accept them. Sufficient, and the treasury is backed up, no run has been found yet, and the work of replacing old money with new money is quite smooth.
