Chapter eight hundred and ten: such a concubine
Concubine Liu understood that Zhu Changbi would not only speak for him.
She knew this junior very well. On weekdays, Zhu Changbi was ignorant and just wanted to enjoy himself, but this time she had a firm look and talked freely. This was definitely not like what Zhu Changbi said.
She could almost conclude that King Baofeng was just a chess piece launched by the kings behind the scenes.
Zhu Changbi's generation was a little smaller among the kings, but he was also better than the current emperor. He belonged to the Lu King and his bloodline was pure, so he would not let the emperor use this as a reason or excuse.
In his eyes, King Baofeng is actually just a child. The kings recommended him out to make him feel compassionate as the concubine who is in charge of the Queen Mother's power.
Concubine Liu touched the seal of the empress dowager beside the seat, but she was grateful for Zhu Youxiao.
Fortunately, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was this junior who made a difference. Even better, he was the one who held the seal of the empress dowager to help the emperor.
Within seven years of Emperor Tianqi ascended the throne, he set the southwest in his martial arts, conquered Mongolia, restored Liaodong, and rectified the garrison and promoted nobles.
In terms of politics, we purged Donglin and relied on the eunuch party and the Zhejiang party.
Nowadays, the world can be pacified and the world can be said to be revived. Most of the high-ranking and powerful kings have passed away with King Fu Zhu Changxun.
Otherwise, the one who will meet today will never be the insignificant King Baofeng.
After careful consideration, she said seriously:
"Respecting heaven and Dharma Ancestor is the original heart of the emperor. The Ai family understands the emperor's mind. I have been in the Ming Dynasty for three hundred years, and I have nearly one million children. There are some people who are as eroded as you all day, but there are more people who can't eat enough to eat."
"If we do not reform and rectify this dynasty, if the clan children exceed one million in the future, the amount of silver will be consumed every year. Have you calculated it?"
"...Oh! You are so crying. I think you know that you can't pass those three subjects and can't bear to give up the title of the prince?"
"The Ai family can be the master. The Ai family will test you. You can recite a few instructions from the Emperor Ming Zu. As long as you recite five instructions, the Ai family will persuade the emperor."
"OK?"
When Zhu Changbi heard this, he lowered his head and did not dare to answer, and he really couldn't recite it.
Concubine Liu looked at him with her eyebrows down and said earnestly:
"Ai family knew that you could not memorize it. So in this way, as long as you have one subject to firearms, riding and infantry fighting, you can also persuade the emperor, is that okay?"
"How can that work!" Zhu Changbi immediately shouted aggrievedly: "Mrs. Queen Mother, you know me. I have never been accustomed to riding horses since I was a child, and I have never touched a fire stick."
"Besides, we are a noble man. Whoever wants to learn these ordinary martial artists can ask you casually to see if you think the same as me!"
"Then what are you guarding when you are staying in the position of Prince?" Concubine Liu sighed again and said:
"I want Emperor Taizu to unify the world and Emperor Chengzu conquers Mongolia for five times. How many talents are my Zhu family of civil and military talents!"
"They gathered around Taizu and Emperor Chengzu, and each town is in the same place. They can be civil and military. That is why they really guard the capital. My Zhu family is in power."
Speaking of this, Concubine Liu's eyes drooped and her voice became a little low: "Early three hundred years have passed, and many generations have passed since the founding kings. What was my Ming Dynasty like when Emperor Tianqi ascended the throne?"
"The military pay in the nine borders has been accumulated over the years, and there is no grain stored in Taicang, and the internal treasury is exhausted, and even the royal treasury is in short supply."
"What now? The Jiubian has won many years of victory, the entire Liaodong area is restored, and the destruction of Tumote, Korqin, and the north-to-earth Chahar, is this easy?"
"Why don't you think about how the emperor revived the Ming Dynasty to this point?"
"Didn't rely on you family members during the resurgence? The emperor obviously hoped that you could make a difference and inherit the Zhu family's country for the sake of the Grandpa."
Hearing these old-fashioned words, King Zhu Changbi of Baofeng blinked, wanted to cry without tears, and no longer dared to look at Concubine Liu.
Concubine Liu also felt nothing to say, so she closed her eyes and said silently: "Ai family is going to recite Buddhist scriptures and pray for the Ming Dynasty. King Baofeng, you go back."
Zhu Changbi had no choice but to bow and tell him.
As soon as he left, the chief minister of the cabinet, Wei Guangwei, followed him into the Cining Palace. After the latter met, he crawled into the hall without saying a word for a long time.
Concubine Liu fiddled with the Buddhist beads, knowing that he was also here for this incident.
Wei Guangwei has always been an imperial party, and he doesn't think he is against the emperor and agrees with the kings. Thinking of this, Concubine Liu said gently:
"Wei Guangwei, you are an old minister of the three dynasties. You have been the chief minister of the cabinet for five years. What are you not to say?"
"Report to the concubine, I never dared to have any intention of your Majesty, nor did I dare to think that your Majesty would have any inappropriate actions..." As he said that, his eyebrows were trembling and he couldn't continue.
Concubine Liu knew that she had comforted the cabinet chief for the emperor, so she also comforted the civil servants, so she comforted:
"You stand up and speak slowly."
"No, no! What I want to say today is for Your Majesty, for the Ming Dynasty, but it is really offensive to Tianyan, and it is still only when I kneel down and I can feel at ease!"
Concubine Liu decided to be straightforward and said:
"It's up to you, Taizu has a lesson, and the harem cannot interfere in politics. But since you come to Ai's family, Ai's family will also ask. Do you think His Majesty's wrong setting up the inheritance exam?"
"Your Majesty is right, Your Majesty is right! Just..." Wei Guangwei hesitated for a while before continuing:
"However, in recent years, Your Majesty has frequently suppressed civil officials, raised the status of military officials, promoted nobles, and valued military generals. Now he suppressed his clan relatives. In the long run, I am worried..."
Only then did Concubine Liu understand and then said:
"Ai family understands it, you are worried that if Your Majesty is too close to the generals, alienates the scholars, or even the children of the clan, it will make the generals too powerful and bring disaster to the warlords to this dynasty."
Wei Guangwei kowtowed repeatedly and almost cried. He didn't dare to say this anyway.
"That's right! This is what I fear most. Your Majesty is in the prime of Spring and Autumn Period, and it's fine when he is in power. Once a new king is changed, can he suppress these brave generals of the Tianqi Dynasty...?"
Concubine Liu's expression gradually became heavier. After a long time, she said quietly:
"The emperor relied on civil officials such as Zhu Xieyuan, Xiong Tingbi, and Sun Chuanting in these major battles."
"My Ming Dynasty has not been peaceful in recent years. Northern Xinjiang has just stabilized. I heard that the Rakshasa Kingdom has joined forces with Chechen again. The North Korean battle has just ended, and the Jiannu pseudo-jin has not been completely pacified. The emperor vigorously promoted military generals, which is also a helpless move."
"As long as the emperor has a clear idea and weighs the rules in the future, it's great that Wei Guangwei, as a court assistant, it's very good that you can have such an idea."
"People come, give me tea."
"Yes, thank you Concubine! The Concubine's words were like enlightenment, and I surrendered!" Wei Guangwei answered speechlessly. Although he was still worried, he decided not to stay anymore.
In Wei Guangwei's opinion, if there was such a concubine in the harem, the Ming Dynasty would not be able to make a fuss in any case. After receiving the tea from the concubine, he left the palace without looking back.
