Chapter 501 Laying the Foundation
In the freshest single room, Fang Xing and Zhu Zhanji were having a meal.
Today I woke up a dish of wild onions and tofu mixed with tofu, and blanched the wild onions in water, so the taste was not so pungent.
Tofu is the first fresh tender tofu made by yourself, just add a little soy sauce.
White tofu, green wild onions.
“It tastes good.”
Zhu Zhanji wrapped this dish alone.
Fang Xing didn't go to rob him, he knew that Zhu Zhanji was using this action to hide his doubts.
"The princes of the Han Dynasty could have their own team, known as the small court."
Fang Xing put down his chopsticks and explained his intentions.
"So the Han Dynasty could last for hundreds of years without falling, and there was profound political wisdom in it."
Zhu Zhanji shyly pushed the plate of wild onion and tofu back to the middle and listened carefully.
Fang Xing smiled and then slowly said: "Although the prince of our dynasty also has his own subordinates, it is not a system after all. This... Once that is the case, there will be a power vacuum in both military and political circles."
Zhu Gaochi's succession should have been relatively smooth, but he still did not dare to clean up civil servants. He just used the charges of violating regulations during the national mourning to cure several honorary relatives, which could only be regarded as a shocking threat.
Zhu Zhanji's succession was a little hasty, and it was said that he was almost intercepted on the way back to Peking.
After he took over, he faced a situation where all civil and military officials could not control him.
Moreover, most officials also had a contemptuous attitude towards him. In this way, the so-called "Three Yang Era" has arrived.
Please note that it was the Three Yang era. Even if the historical books say "Ren Xuan's rule", the Three Yangs actually led the government.
Yang Shiqi, Yang Rong, Yang Pu!
Taking advantage of the gap in power, San Yang successfully gained control, and the ministers could finally compete with the king, and even win in secret.
What caused all this was just because Zhu Zhanji did not have a set of his own people.
"Now everyone ignores you a little."
Fang Xing began to give advice to Zhu Zhanji.
"Take this opportunity, you should look for your own subordinates and your supporters, and believe me, this is very important to the future."
Even if Zhu Gaochi has a long life, his physical condition will not last long.
If the situation is allowed to develop towards inertia, when Zhu Zhanji takes office, Fang Xing will be attacked by fire, and it will be difficult to reverse the situation.
Zhu Zhanji's face was heavy, and he had already heard some smell.
Zhanji, you are about to start planning for yourself!
"Brother Dehua, what do you mean is that I will face an isolated situation in the future?"
Fang Xing nodded and said, "That's right, you just need to remember one thing, that is, no one likes constraints. Most people think that their talents can overcome all the world and do everything, so they don't want constraints."
No one likes constraints, and under the temptation of power, the constraints are like a tight spell, which makes people wish they could break this circle.
Therefore, with Zhu Zhanji's ascension to the throne as the dividing line, the Ming Dynasty had actually broken away from the control of the king.
At this point, the situation of "Zhongzhengxiang Dynasty" has not been changed. Even Jiajing, a master of power struggle, had to hide in the palace and numb himself after struggling for a while but not regaining the power.
Therefore, looking at the king of the Ming Dynasty, we must not only look at his appearance, including the great ritual dispute. These are just struggles between kings and ministers, and only for the destination of power.
However, Wan Xing had not attended court for decades, so Fang Xing felt that it should have something to do with Zhang Juzheng.
Before Zhang Juzheng, the prime minister's power in the Ming Dynasty had never been so superior to the royal family, and Zhang Juzheng could even do the decree and establishment.
Starting from Zhang Juzheng, the royal family of the Ming Dynasty had actually lost control of the Ming Dynasty, and the entire Ming Dynasty had fallen into the hands of civil officials.
Zhu Zhanji drank wine silently, thinking about the recent changes in the court.
Hu Guang's several temptations finally angered Zhu Di, but Zhu Di must handle Hu Guang carefully as the "prime minister", otherwise it will trigger a rebound.
From the great purge after ascending the throne to the prudence now, it is better to say that Zhu Di has become kind, but he is already deeply involved in the situation.
balance!
Zhu Di has learned to use balance to stabilize his status and power.
Balance in turn requires Zhu Di to abandon that rough approach.
Therefore, those who are the king need to have a calm heart, otherwise Emperor Yang Guang of Sui was the lesson of the past. If the balance was not good, they would be able to get rid of it.
Fang Xing saw Zhu Zhanji gradually relax his brows and said, "I thought Lu Fei was an old-fashioned person, but I didn't expect that he was a little crazy. This time I transferred him to the Ministry of Revenue, and you will have a legitimate position in the Ministry of Revenue in the future."
"Let's take it slowly."
Fang Xing saw Zhu Zhanji's eagerness to try, and smiled and said, "The Wuxun is the leader of the British Duke. You can stay away for the time being. The first civil servant is Xia Yuanji. This person is a person who works, and Yang Rong can also consider it."
What did Yang Rong say? Fang Xing felt that this person was not bad at all, but his personality was a little unrestrained. He couldn't be the prime minister, but he could help and stare under the prime minister, which was a good choice for the emperor.
As for Yang Pu, although Fang Xing had never contacted him, he always felt that this man was too cunning and could not understand his position.
When Fang Xing returned home, Lu Xiaoran had already gone out with Xiaobai, and was said to have taken the bell to hunt.
"This girl's heart is so broad!"
Fang Xing told Zhang Shuhui about the incident, which scared her so much that she was very scared.
"Husband, is that Lu Zhen really so shameless?"
Of course, Zhang Shuhui had to look at the problem from the perspective of her husband, so she looked angry when she mentioned Lu Zhen.
Fang Xing ran for a whole morning and felt a little tired. He yawned and said, "He is shameless on the surface, but there are many people who are more shameless than him, but they are just hiding deeper."
As he said that, Fang Xing leaned over and said lazily: "Shuhui, let's have a nap."
Zhang Shuhui's face turned red, she pushed her away and woke up, and then she went into the inner room.
Fang Xing smiled, turned around and closed the door, and followed him in.
So when Lu Xiaoran and Xiaobai came back, they saw Zhang Shuhui with a pink complexion, and Fang Xing looked energetic and radiant.
"Brother Fang, Lingling is really amazing. I will keep a dog like this next time."
After leaving this sentence, Lu Xiaoran ran away. If she didn't run away, she would have to be dealt with.
"My wife asked me to apologize on my behalf. Please trouble my uncle's family."
Lu Xiaoran's biological mother has already come, but because Lu Fei was suddenly transferred, it is difficult to come in for the time being, so as not to be said to have gone through Fang Xing's way.
When Lu Xiaoran came home and found out that she had run away, her own father had a tragedy between hell and heaven, she knew that she was in a tragedy.
In the evening, in Xie Jin's courtyard, Fang Xing and Huang Zhong were drinking and eating barbecue together.
After Fang Xing talked about what happened today, Xie Jin comforted his heart and said, "My little man Lu Zhen can only rely on His Majesty's favor to intimidate his subordinates, and sooner or later he will be rejected!"
Huang Zhong was making up for this information recently. He poured wine to Fang Xing and Xie Jin, and then smiled and said, "But there is a disadvantage to doing this, that is, there is no one in His Royal Highness of the Ministry of Rites."
Fang Xing said confidently: "As long as the Ministry of Rites is under the charge of Lu Zhen, there is no need to worry."
Xie Jin took a sip of wine, and after a long intoxication, he said with satisfaction: "If there is no such fine wine, I won't give it to a Grand Master!"
Huang Zhong smiled and raised his glass to invite him, and the three of them smiled at each other.
