Chapter 674 Oh, isn't this the Zhu Emperor who was so tough just now?
A glint of wisdom shone in Emperor Zhu's eyes.
That bastard will definitely not let Hu Weiyong off the hook.
No matter how many times Gu Chengzhi tricks Hu Weiyong, he has to trick him again.
However... now that he's finished messing with Hu Weiyong, he probably won't have time to bother us anymore.
This can be considered a good thing.
As for whether Hu Weiyong is dead or not?
He should thank that bastard!
Just as Emperor Zhu was calculating like a national treasure, Empress Ma looked at him and asked, "So what's next? What are your plans?"
Emperor Zhu sighed and said, "Let's just do what needs to be done."
At this point, Emperor Zhu perked up and handed another memorial on the table to Empress Ma.
"Look at this, this is a memorial sent by our Biao'er by express courier."
"The reform of the Central Secretariat has already begun."
"Li Shanchang, Li Shanchang, this time he finally couldn't hold back anymore."
Empress Ma took the memorial and casually remarked as she flipped through it, "Li Shanchang? What he fears most right now is the title of Left Chancellor of the Secretariat."
"Now that the Secretariat has been reorganized into the Grand Secretariat and the Left Chancellor has been changed to the Chief Grand Secretary, the one who benefits the most is Li Shanchang."
After all, it's the fate of the entire extended family.
Being constantly dragged to the gates of hell by some inexplicable scoundrels is something no one can accept.
As she flipped through the pages, Empress Ma couldn't help but laugh and said, "Look, is this the first time in history that someone has complained about having too high an official position or too much power?"
Emperor Zhu couldn't laugh.
In the past, seeing the power in the hands of the prime minister, Emperor Zhu really wished he could strip him of his power and abolish the prime ministership.
Now, looking at Li Shanchang and Liu Bowen who kept trying to quit and run away, and thinking about the memorials written by that scoundrel, Emperor Zhu felt that it was still good to have a prime minister.
After all, Zhu Chongba is only human!
These are not the cattle and horses from your Ningyang County Livestock Farm!
The more Emperor Zhu thought about it, the angrier he became, and he couldn't help but curse, "That damned bastard!"
"And Li Shanchang and Liu Bowen, none of them were good either."
"When there are benefits, they are all very enthusiastic, but now that there are so many official duties, they are all trying to avoid them as quickly as possible."
"Thankfully, we still have Biao'er to share some of the burden of state affairs."
At this point, Emperor Zhu suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said, "You know what, this is actually quite good."
“We’ll have Biao’er serve, and Biao’er will serve the Crown Prince in the future. This way, the throne will be passed down from generation to generation. By the time the Crown Prince ascends the throne, he will be familiar with the government and will not be easily manipulated by those officials.”
After a slight pause, Emperor Zhu surprisingly suggested, "How about we appoint Biao'er as the Executive Vice Emperor of the Ming Dynasty? It doesn't seem right to have the title but no real power all the time?"
As Emperor Zhu finished speaking, Empress Ma nearly had a stroke from anger.
The crown prince is the heir apparent, that's the title. How can he be real but without a title?
It has to be done according to your wishes, Zhu Chongba, that you have to be given the title of Executive Vice Emperor to be considered real and legitimate.
I just don’t know what it means!
Empress Ma rolled her eyes and said sarcastically, "Your son-in-law created a position as executive deputy county magistrate just to shirk his duties, and you're planning to create an executive deputy emperor? You really have the nerve to do that."
Emperor Zhu was not ashamed, but rather proud.
What's wrong with making Biao the executive vice emperor?
In other words, we haven't completely eliminated Hu Yuan yet, and our Great Ming still has a lot of messy problems to solve.
Otherwise, we can just make him emperor, and I can retire and go back to farming.
This damn emperor doesn't want to be a single day of his reign!
Empress Ma saw that Emperor Zhu was completely unfazed, and her anger flared up instantly.
You just wait, you Zhu Chongba!
Empress Ma snorted and said, "Our son-in-law once said, 'There's nothing new under the sun.'"
Emperor Zhu was slightly taken aback and said, "That scoundrel did say that, saying that our Chinese history spans thousands of years and all sorts of messy things have happened."
“I remember he also said that the biggest lesson mankind has learned from history is that mankind never learns from history.”
This is a classic example of someone who doesn't study hard, resulting in such poor speaking skills.
"The people of Qin have no time to mourn for themselves, so that future generations will mourn for them; for future generations to mourn without taking note of it will also cause future generations to mourn for future generations again."
Look at Du Mu.
They mean the same thing, but how much better is this article?
Unlike that scoundrel, who is utterly ignorant and incompetent!
Emperor Zhu was inwardly cursing a certain scoundrel, but Empress Ma glanced at him and asked, "And what about you?"
Ok?
咱？
Emperor Zhu looked at Empress Ma with a bewildered expression and asked, "What's wrong with us?"
Empress Ma snorted again and said, "Have you forgotten that your good son-in-law once said that there were a lot of puppet emperors during the Han Dynasty?"
Emperor Zhu nodded slightly, about to say that the Han Dynasty indeed had a large number of emperors, when his expression suddenly changed, he stood up abruptly, and roared, "They dare!"
"I will kill them!"
"I will kill them all!"
Emperor Zhu paced back and forth in the room like a furious tiger, while Empress Ma shook her head slightly and said, "Why don't they dare?"
"The imperial court forbids them from selling ironware to the Hu Yuan people. Have they obeyed the court?"
"The imperial court forbids them from being corrupt and harming the people, but have they listened to the court?"
"They dare not touch you."
"Biao'er, they don't dare to make a move now."
"But what about later?"
"They can fail a thousand or ten thousand times, but if they succeed just once, they win."
"Similarly, we can defend against them a thousand or ten thousand times, but if we fail to defend against them even once, we will lose."
A layer of cold sweat immediately broke out on Emperor Zhu's forehead.
They certainly wouldn't dare to move now.
I am in Ningyang County, Biao'er is in the capital, and the elite soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are on a northern expedition. There are also garrisons in various places. If those people make any moves, they will surely face annihilation.
But what about the future?
Or, will they change their approach?
They can't do anything to Zhu Chongba, and they can't do anything to Biao'er, so will they target the people that we care about?
The more Emperor Zhu thought about it, the more frightened he became. When he looked at Empress Ma again, in addition to his fear, there was also a hint of pitifulness in his eyes.
"Girl, what do you think we should do?"
"This is a damn dead end."
“If we go along with their wishes, the people who can’t survive will tear us apart first.”
"Let's keep fighting them, and then..."
Empress Ma glanced at Emperor Zhu.
Yo.
Isn't this the same Zhu Emperor who was so assertive just a moment ago?
Why is it so loose now?
