Chapter 5 The Right Attitude

Emperor Shenglong looked at Zhu Ruisheng, and suddenly remembered Concubine Li. The gentle, quiet and kind-hearted beautiful woman emerged in her vague memories.

"Please just flat, bring a chair for King Song, and bring a glass of iced wine. The weather is too hot. When he leaves, give him two barrels." Emperor Sheng Long said with a smile.

Sun Anbo personally moved a chair for Zhu Ruisheng. He was also a little curious. This did not look like the style of King Song, but he had never heard of any counselors and staff in the Song Mansion?

In the emperor's mind, King Song's status was greatly improved. The two seemingly ordinary things, such as giving seats and giving wine, were almost impossible to see between Emperor Shenglong and the prince. Although they were father and son, they were also monarchs and ministers.

"My son thanks my father for his reward!" Zhu Ruisheng bowed and then sat down.

"Your order to supervise the Ministry of Works will be issued in two days. This is also the first time that the five brothers have participated in state affairs. I will say a few words in advance!" Emperor Sheng Long said.

"My son is respectful to listen to the teachings of the father!" Zhu Ruisheng stood up and said.

"Sit down and talk. Although you are too inappropriate in your behavior, which leads to a loss in the minor matters, which makes the royal family very passive this time, but they can discover the intentions of the censors in time and defeat their conspiracy in the court. They are speechless and depressed. I am still very happy for you."

"You have been brave but not scheming since you were a child. Speaking of which, I am very worried that after you arrive at the Ministry of Works, you will be fooled by those treacherous officials. But today's performance has made me feel much more at ease."

"The Ministry of Works has always been serious corruption, with chaotic accounts and huge deficits. Officials colluded with each other, deceived their superiors and concealed their subordinates, and embezzled a large amount of silver. Behind it, there were government agencies and many important officials. I have long wanted to rectify it, but the officials have many obstacles to protect each other and have not taken any action."

"There is no need to worry too much after the department is in charge. You must dare to deal with the obstacles set by civil servants. At most, the case cannot be investigated or misled, and someone will be taken into custody. Moreover, the civil servants are not a solid piece. You must make good use of their conflicts." Emperor Sheng Long said.

"My son is obeying the teachings of his father!" Zhu Ruisheng said.

I just wanted me to go to the Ministry of Works to make trouble, stir up the water and force the big fish to jump out!

"The Ministry of Management is also an opportunity for you. You must be careful and careful in doing things in the future. The prince's status is extremely noble, and every move represents the royal family. It is best not to appear again if something violates the ancestral system, humiliates the Shilin, and tramples the status of Confucianism!"

"Civil officials are the main force of the court, controlling the cabinet, the Kedao and the Sixth Ministry of the Ministry. If you are taken by someone, it will be difficult for me to help you." Emperor Sheng Long reminded him.

"The ancestor system calls on widows to keep their rituals, and it doesn't mean to keep their rituals. As for the face of scholars, do scholars have the qualities? Civil officials are corrupt, bully men and women, frame and frame dissidents, form cliques and make private private affairs, and they are unbelievable. Father, don't you not know?"

"Why do they know what kind of etiquette, righteousness, integrity and shame are? They wear silk and satin, eat delicacies from mountains and seas, and their family's wealth and wealth, and their wealth and wealth are thousands of acres of fertile land. My royal bloodline and the prince of the Tianming Dynasty must be honestly pretending to be grandson?"

"To put it bluntly, the Tianming Dynasty was the Zhu family in the world on the surface, but in fact, it was completely undermined by civil servants! The officials had the final say in the promotion and dethronement, and they had the power to transfer troops. Even the crown prince had to be held by them. Where did the emperor be placed?"

"The Tianming Dynasty has strong enemies outside and troubles inside. Under the governance of civil servants, the original beautiful country has long been full of holes. Since the father succeeded to the throne, he practiced thrift and reduced expenses in the palace. He reviewed the question books all night long, and even suffered physical damage and gray hair had premature growth. What else do they want?"

"My son thinks that it is better to say that these civil servants are protecting Tian Liu's family than to take advantage of the situation. The target is not the minister, but the plan for you to establish a virtuous person or not to establish a eldest son." Zhu Ruisheng said the more he spoke, he was more and more casual, and he scolded the civil servant.

In the Tianming Dynasty, the power of the monarch was suppressed by the civil servant group and the royal interests were seriously violated. In this regard, the emperor could not not hate civil servants. Zhu Ruisheng believed that as long as he stood on this point, it would be politically correct. Accuse civil servants would definitely resonate with the emperor.

"Take advantage of the problem? You can explain it clearly!" Emperor Sheng Long asked with a frown.

He is quite sensitive to conspiracy theories, just like the confrontation in the Huangji Palace just now, it seems that it was the impeachment caused by the forced robbery of the wise wife of Song Wang, but after King Song "censored" the potential possibility in person, he felt that the censors' behavior was a conspiracy.

"For those civil officials, behavior has never been a bottom line. How important can a woman be? They maintain Confucianism and moral norms of starvation and loss of integrity. They are also using this to express their determination to maintain the eldest son system to the Emperor."

"Prior to take action first, and then to be controlled by others. If you take a step back, they will approach one step. Sooner or later, it will become a decoration! In the simple opinion of the minister, you are too tolerant of them. What our Tianming Dynasty lacks is not officials, but capable ministers and officials who can do practical things. These hypocrites who open their mouths and shut up benevolence, righteousness and morality should kick out of the court as soon as possible!" Zhu Ruisheng said.

Emperor Taizu of the Tianming Dynasty established a system that only the prince and the underage prince could stay in the capital to live, and the other adult princes must go to the fiefdom and must not stay in the capital.

This is also to ensure the status of the prince and avoid leaving hidden dangers on the alternation of the throne.

At present, all the five princes of Emperor Shenglong live in the palace of the capital, and no one is in the vassal state.

The fourth prince, Zhu Ruiyuan, King of Chu, and the fifth prince, Zhu Ruizhi, King of Wei, have not only got married, but also have children, while the sixth prince, King of Zhao, Zhu Ruiqian, and the eighth prince, King of Han, Zhu Ruili, have also got married.

Only Zhu Ruisheng is young and has not gotten married yet, so he can stay in Beijing for a few years according to the system.

Why does this happen?

It's very simple, that is, the dispute over the foundation of the Tianming Dynasty and the debate on the system of eldest sons.

The eldest and second brother both died of illness. The oldest among the princes is Zhu Ruiyuan, the fourth prince of Chu. If he inherits the eldest son, he will naturally be crowned as the crown prince.

But Emperor Shenglong had his own ideas. The "reason" he gave to civil and military officials was that since the two princes of the dynasty died early, this must be a warning from God, so the dynasty could not establish a prince early.

However, most officials believe that the reason why Emperor Shenglong delayed his arrogance was because his aspiration was not the fourth brother Zhu Ruiyuan, but the sixth prince, King Zhao Zhu Ruiqian!

Zhu Ruiqian and Zhu Ruili's mother, Shufei, was very favored by Emperor Shenglong. The 19-year-old Zhu Ruiqian has been smart and handsome since childhood. Emperor Shenglong regards him as a treasure and calls him a great talent.

Emperor Shenglong made many news and wanted to make Zhu Ruiqian the crown prince, but most of the civil servant group firmly resisted the emperor's choice and required that the eldest son inheritance system must be followed.

The Tianming Dynasty was the head of civil servants, and the imperial power was restricted to the extreme. If he dared to forcibly promote the establishment of the crown prince, the imperial edict would be invalid and would not be recognized by the cabinet and all officials.
