Difficult for a son-in-law

The two Shangshu adults came together, so there is naturally something to do.

Ming Zhan said that he was planning to build a navy and asked them to jointly make a budget. The two departments worked hard for more than half a month before getting it done. This is a budget booklet personally sent to Ming Zhan.

Doing business at sea is not for fun.The nautical technology of this era is really a fight for wealth and wealth.

The court's navy was limited, and the late emperor was not a wise monarch, and even the barbarians in the northwest were struggling to deal with it.Feng Jingqian was diligent after ascending the throne, and he also trained a Northwest Army. For more than ten years, he stabilized the Northwest Frontier Defense, but he had no spare energy to build a navy.

Now that Ming Zhan has this proposal, quite a few people are paying attention.

The profit of shipping has always been enviable, and Ming Zhan put his words on the bright side again, and the wind spread three thousand miles.The rich merchants in the south of the Yangtze River are not blind. They have long been envious of the profits of sea transportation. They just suffer from the ban on the sea by the imperial court. Moreover, the business at sea cannot be supported by a single family. Now the news that His Royal Highness is planning to build a navy comes out. Few people told the disciples in Beijing to inquire about the truth, but these officials of the imperial court made a lot of extra money.

At the same time, there are not just one or two officials who are staring at this area. If there is a project, there will be oil and water.

With oil and water, you can make a fortune.

Thousands of miles to seek an official is only for money.

Feng Jingqian didn't read the brochure, and handed it back to Ming Zhan, letting go, "You can figure it out! Just let me know when you hire someone. It's impossible for me to support you forever."

A large part of why Ming Zhan always had disputes with Feng Jingnan was that Ming Zhan was too assertive and too strong.As a son, I have to follow the path he pointed out. In this day and age, if you don't get whipped, whoever gets whipped!

In the past, Ming Zhan often complained to Feng Jinggan that Feng Jingnan was domineering.

Feng Jingnan was Ming Zhan's biological father, so tyrannical, and finally had a tacit understanding with Ming Zhan, as long as Ming Zhan did, he would not interfere.Feng Jingqian had clearly realized this a long time ago, and it is naturally the same now.What's more, what Feng Jingqian likes is Ming Zhan's shrewdness!

Although Feng Jingqian was really worried, but he also wanted to try Ming Zhan's skills.Yunnan-Guizhou has a limited area and cannot be compared with the imperial capital.When Ming Zhan opened his mouth, he was about to break the sea ban, and his tone was so loud that it could blow the sky away.He wants to see how Ming Zhan can complete this matter.

Ming Zhan took the memorial from Feng Jingqian, looked at it at a glance, then closed it gently, and didn't speak for a long time.

No matter how informal Ming Zhan's words are on weekdays, when he puts on a straight face, there will be an invisible pressure.Feng Jing spent all her time watching the play, so naturally she wouldn't speak.In the silence, the two Shangshu adults, perhaps because the floor heating in this house is too warm, beads of sweat gradually appeared on the tips of their noses.

Ming Zhan took out a crumpled official document from under his legs, handed it to Xu San, and said indifferently, "I don't need to say more about how you work as errands, you old ministers. I will pay more attention in the future. Go back and have a look, and step back."

The two elders left wiping away their sweat, even Feng Jingqian had to praise Ming Zhan, "You have a plan in mind."

Ming Zhan chuckled, revealing a bit treacherous, "My little Feifei is recognized as being full of talent and good looks. Now that he is outside, I can't keep an eye on him. Naturally, I have to find something for him to do. This pony Wild horses out of Xinjiang, how can you escape from my palm?" He said, and made a fist.

What kind of character is Ruan Hongfei? Even if he played Wei Ning before, he was the secretary of the household department after all. Ming Zhan said that he wanted to practice the navy and asked Ruan Hongfei to help with the budget. Ming Zhan pressed it in his hand after receiving it.Looking for another opportunity to talk to the ministers, the world is as black as crows, and Mingzhan here is very clear about the tricks here, so he borrowed the budget book Ruan Hongfei gave him to slap the Ministry of Households and Industry in the face, and also shocked these old fried dough sticks.

How dare he be the prince without much means?What a joke!

People are like this, even if these ministers know that Ming Zhan has always had means, but this slap doesn't hit the face, they don't know the pain and shame.

Xu San and Li Pingzhou went back to the yamen of the Ministry of Household Affairs together, feeling apprehensive, without taking a sip of tea, Xu San opened the official document given by Ming Zhan, just glanced at it, cold sweat ran down his cheeks, and his face was flushed .

Li Pingzhou's old face is also not good-looking.

"Didn't your Highness use the people from the Zhennan Prince's Mansion?" Xu San wiped the sweat from his forehead, his Shang's study room was naturally kept very warm, but at this moment, he felt as if he had fallen into a cold cave, with weeds growing in his heart.Ming Zhan's background is simply too tough.Now that he has become the crown prince, with the status of the Zhennan Prince's Mansion, he can no longer allow the emperor to go back on his word. The next step is to ascend the throne.

Li Pingzhou was a little thankful that he was in the Ministry of Industry, as long as he gave the number of things he wanted, the Ministry of Households would naturally do the serious budgeting.Xu San was not a mediocre minister, he was also the prince's teacher, and Ming Zhan was very close when he spoke on weekdays, but he stabbed him with a knife without making a show, and Xu San lost all face.

"His Royal Highness has become a prince, and Zhennan Wang is not unhappy." Li Pingzhou lowered his voice. It seems that such a meticulous budget book was written by professionals. Except for Zhennan Wangfu, he really couldn't think of anyone who produced it. "It's understandable to help one or two times. Besides, His Highness has long been the son of the prince. Before the prince was in trouble, His Highness was in charge. It may be said that part of the staff of the Zhennan Palace is still in his hands. The new official took office. There are still three fires, not to mention His Highness. He didn't get angry in the court, but he saved face for us." At the end, he was very lucky.

Xu San's face softened slightly, and he blamed himself, "I was too impatient. The emperor appointed me as the prince's teacher, but I acted rough, and I really didn't make a face for your highness." He is a smart man, and he knows that Ming Zhan likes him It's definitely not this paper budget...

The superior is not easy to bully, and the subordinates will naturally become more cautious.

However, Xu San also found his own way to go.

In the early morning of the second day, Ming Zhan asked Mr. Zheng, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, for the resumes of officials above the fifth rank in Jiangnan officialdom.

Zheng Linzhong is over [-] years old, he has been in the seventh year, and has been in the position of Minister of the Ministry of Officials for seven years. Although he usually looks like a warm and loving grandfather, he is the most meticulous and sophisticated in his actions.Ming Zhan had an attack, Xu San and Li Pingzhou in private, he didn't hit or scold, he didn't say a word of harshness, Xuande Hall's tone was always tight, he didn't know.It's just that he noticed that Xu Shangshu's expression was not very good recently, and he found out that the Ministry of Households was re-budgeting the navy's expenditure after inquiring carefully.Hehe, the old man grasped this point, and he already had a three-pointer in his heart. The prince must have given Hubu a blow.

Therefore, Mr. Zheng prepared these resumes very carefully, and even wrote out a detailed copy of the configuration of officials at all levels in the officialdom, and then presented it to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for reading.

You can tell whether a person is using his mind or not, and where his mind is being used. Ming Zhan turned over slightly, and the corners of his lips curled up, praising, "Mr. Ask Mr. Zheng."

Only then did Mr. Zheng let go of his old heart, and his face showed a bit of gratitude, "This is a matter of my duty. If Your Highness has any inquiries, I will know everything." He said, "I heard that Your Highness intends to build a navy. The minister attached a list of generals of the third rank and above of the court and their respective resumes, and put a box and marked it with a seal." In fact, Mr. Zheng directly suspected that Ming Zhan's preparation for the navy was just a name, after all, it would not happen overnight. Well done, or His Royal Highness wants to take this opportunity to attack the military power.

Regarding Ming Zhan, Mr. Zheng and Mr. Li Pingzhou have the same views. Although this one is farther away than the two young emperors and grandchildren in blood, but it is difficult to destroy if you stand well.This is not the emperor's son, if you don't like it, you can choose someone else.Although the Zhennan Prince's Mansion is far in the southwest, it has a strong army. With such a backing, Ming Zhan is only waiting to ascend the throne.Therefore, Mr. Zheng figured out that the north-south army transfer was actually just Ming Zhan's move to test the emperor.The emperor has no objection to him intervening in the army, so it can be seen that there is fear of big moves in the army in the future.When the whole world is focusing on His Highness the Crown Prince's plan to build a navy, Mr. Zheng thinks that His Highness the Crown Prince is ready to take military power.

I am afraid that the day of His Highness's ascension to the throne is not far away.

Thinking of this, Mr. Zheng's attitude became more respectful.

"Okay." Ming Zhan smiled happily, "The court needs capable officials like the boss. Mr. Zheng has worked hard. It just so happens that I have some newly made winter tea here. I tasted it and it tastes good. I heard that Mr. Zheng My lord has good tea, He Yu, pack up a portion and bring it out." Then he said to Boss Zheng, "If it tastes good, just come and tell me."

Elder Zheng smiled and said, "Thank Your Highness for the reward, the old minister has always been honest, and it is inevitable that he will speak to His Highness with a straight face."

The two chief ministers looked at each other and smiled, they each agreed, and then talked about some trivial matters in the court, Mr. Zheng held two tea pots with silver on the outside and gold on the inside, and stepped back with a leisurely smile.

Although it's just two cans of tea leaves, the total is only half a catty, Mr. Zheng's heart is like eating ginseng fruit, and he feels refreshed.

On the contrary, when Xu San heard that Mr. Zheng won the winter tea rewarded by the prince, he sighed a little: The old fox is indeed quite powerful.

Just when the whole court was tense and working hard for His Royal Highness, a big oolong happened.

This matter, due to a clever word, was officially recorded in the annals of history by the historian, and after years of hard work, it was derived by the world into an epic court tragedy and comedy.Of course, what historians are arguing about is: Emperor Wu was not keen on beauty all his life, but he left such a sincere love letter.Who is Emperor Wu going to give this love letter to?

However, these are eternal mysteries.

The cause of the incident is to mention an old minister, and there is another Lord Wang who is as famous as Lord Li in the court.In terms of seniority, although Mr. Wang is not as good as Mr. Li, the veteran of the three dynasties, he is also the veteran of the two dynasties.Mr. Wang is famous for his honesty, self-preservation and profound knowledge. The Qingliu in the Qingliu is jealous of evil and a gentleman. He is just a little...well, he doesn't know how to look at Junshang's face.

In the past, when Feng Jingqian wanted to build a palace, he could write ten thousand words of remonstrance, and he had an iron mouth. If he killed people with words, no one would give him face.His spiritual worship can clearly explain the character of this lord. These days, most people have two kinds of spiritual beliefs, one is Tathagata Buddha, and the other is Yuanshi Tianzun. This Lord Wang has very different hobbies. , Wei Zheng and Wei Xuancheng were offered by his family.

Ming Zhan is not familiar with Mr. Wang, but he is familiar with Wei Zheng. This person only takes Li Shimin's face as his own responsibility. Fortunately, he met Li Shimin. Famous officials match famous emperors, and naturally the emperor and his ministers get along well.

Mr. Wang's ideal is very simple. He wants to be a famous official like Wei Zheng, and his official position is also very similar to Wei Zheng.When he came up to Ming Zhan, he was admonishing about "female sex" and "be cautious". Ming Zhan was dizzy and had to interrupt Mr. Wang. Ming Zhan asked, "Am I obsessed with female sex, Wang?" My lord went to inquire about it. Up to now, I only have two concubines. And most of the time I live with my father. If you want to say that I am licentious, the only person in the world who is not licentious is probably a monk. No matter what you say, I seem to be Like a pervert, where is this?"

Lord Wang looked upright, and sighed, "I heard that His Highness has always restrained himself from female sex, but he doesn't know why this handwriting was included in the reply of the minister's memorial. If His Highness hadn't been thinking about female sex all the time, how could this book have declined? "

"What?" Ming Zhan didn't understand for a moment, and ordered, "Submit it here and let me see, what did I write?"

Mr. Wang, on the other hand, had a straight face, resolutely refused to take back the evidence for Ming Zhan, took it out of his sleeve, and recited aloud, "Aifei, the furthest distance in the world is not the distance between life and death, but the distance between life and death. I stand in front of you, but you don't know that I love you; love to fly, the farthest distance in the world is not that I stand in front of you, but you don't know that I love you, but love to obsession, but can't Say I love you; love to fly, the farthest distance in the world is not that I cannot say I love you, but that I miss you so much, but I can only bury it deep in my heart..."

Ming Zhan opened his mouth wide in shock, and let out a moan, wishing he could just die.

He, he, obviously he wrote love poems to his family Xiao Feifei. Because Ruan Hongfei's cultural level is very high, Ming Zhan made up a few doggerel poems for Ruan Hongfei himself, and was laughed at several times.This time, he decided to have a cheeky classic.

It's finished, but I haven't had time to send it yet, so how, how could it be included in the memorial receipt for this old guy?

The civil and military forces of the whole court were frightened by Lord Wang's boldness and the content of this letter. The entire Zhaoren Hall could only hear the recitation of Lord Wang's dantian full of energy. It is also very admirable.With such a thick skin, no wonder even Ruan Hongfei was no match for him.

The remaining ministers all thought:

Whose girl is this, so lucky...

I really can't see it, His Highness usually behaves like a monk in a temple, and I heard that he is not warm to the two side concubines, so it turns out that he is secretly going out of his way.

There are also officials from the Ministry of Rituals thinking: Is it necessary to establish a crown princess? Alas, what is the opening ceremony...

The Ministry of Internal Affairs is thinking: Is there enough gold in the treasury for the grand gown, gold seal, and gold book that the princess will use?

Until the end of Mr. Wang's passionate recitation, although Ming Zhan was a little uncomfortable at first, he was a bachelor. After Mr. Wang finished reading, he smiled slightly and calmly said, "People are not frivolous and waste young people, so naturally I can't be exempt. Wang Aiqing looked at me Is this poem written in a true and sincere way?"

Unexpectedly, His Royal Highness, whose skin is as thick as a city wall, blushed first, and sincerely advised, "Your Highness is just young, and there is nothing wrong with having a woman he likes. The old minister also knows that His Highness is diligent in government affairs, and is not a fatuous person." Your Highness is the crown prince of a country. If you have a favorite daughter, you should also inform the emperor and the empress dowager, and accept the girl into the harem according to the ancient rules. Zhou Gong's human relations, how can I talk too much? Your highness reads the books of sages and sages, and obeys them It should be a gentleman's gift, and it is extremely inappropriate to give and receive it privately! What's more, the veteran believes that His Highness mistakenly inserted this letter into the veteran's memorial. Does this mean that His Highness had other thoughts about his children when he was approving the memorial? The saint said, If you don’t change it, it’s too much. I pray that Your Highness will take this as a warning and be more careful.”

Although Master Wang tried his best to be tactful, Ming Zhan's lips twitched again and again, he was kind and generous, and praised with a smile, "Wang Aiqing is loyal and straightforward, really like Wei Zixuan, I know, I will definitely not do such a thing in the future."

"His Royal Highness is good at accepting advice, it is really a blessing for ministers."

His Royal Highness Prince’s love letter was recited in court by Lord Dazui Wang, and then flew over the palace wall and spread outside the palace. It was recorded by historians as: Emperor Wu was the crown prince at the beginning, and wrote a love poem, and later it began as a vernacular poem.

However, all kinds of eclectic descriptions are derived from this in the unofficial history. Even those people in the flower streets and willow alleys love to mourn a few words: the furthest distance in the world...

However, in private, the ministers conducted a vigorous selection activity of "finding who is the crown prince's dream man", and the main target was on the noble daughter who accompanied her mother into the palace to pay her respects within the past month.

Even the ministers heard the song and knew what they wanted, so they wrote directly to ask for the establishment of the crown prince.

He annoyed Ming Zhan with one head and two big ones.
