One thousand seven hundred and seventeen chapters: joy and joy
Suleiman looked around and seemed thoughtful.
He has been too tough since he ascended the throne.
It is precisely because of his toughness that he naturally inevitably suffered dissatisfaction from the old nobles.
These old nobles were constantly attacked by the newly promoted Confucian scholars, and were suppressed by the Imperial Guards. Even if they were dissatisfied, they were still controllable.
But this time, with a huge setback, Suleiman didn't have to obey Lee Zheng's words, after the reminder, he thought he had already understood it.
His authority has been shaken at this moment.
And this... is a fatal blow to Suleiman.
In the Ottoman system, the original remains of the Ottoman tribe, that is, the strong are kings.
Suleiman closed his eyes, and after a long time, he glanced at the Confucian scholars around him and said lightly: "I wonder what you guys think about it?"
All the Confucian scholars lowered their heads and slid their mouths without saying a word, and the palace fell into a terrible silence.
And this silence... made Emperor Suleiman realize something.
He said, "What, don't you talk anymore?"
"Your Majesty." Finally, someone couldn't help it and said heartbrokenly: "I have followed Your Majesty, and I have never had any unfair intentions. When Ottoman comes, I will share the same relationship with Your Majesty. At this moment, it is an extraordinary time. Once a thief controls the government, then... we will definitely die without a place to bury us. Among the Kasha, most of the same clan of Your Majesty, and this is Your Majesty's family affairs. How dare you speak nonsense? Your Majesty's decision is his own way."
Suleiman was silent for a long time before saying, "This time... although it was a failure, it had nothing to do with the Li Qing family. Li Qing's plan was perfect. Unfortunately, someone in the embassy colluded with Fang Jifan and even leaked the matter. Zhu Cheng sold his owner for honor, and I hated him deeply. Even if he had to tear up the body and kill his entire family, it would be difficult to relieve the hatred in his heart. I issued an order to summon Zhu Cheng quickly and escort him back to the capital, and punish him with the Zhengdian, and kill him!"
When it comes to the word "kill", Suleiman gritted his teeth and his face turned cold.
Then, Suleiman said again: "Although Li Zheng was very concerned about this time, he was also responsible for his mistakes. He was punished for three years to serve as a warning."
Li Zheng then cried and said gratefully: "I should have been punished for death, but Your Majesty is so generous, and he is really ashamed."
Suleiman continued: "Over the years, most of the Jikashas have no rules and regulations and do not know the rules and regulations. Although the Ming emperor did something wrong, there is one thing that is wrong. They set up factory guards to investigate and prevent evil words and prevent them from happening. According to my opinion, the Jinyiwei should have it. However... Most of the factory guards of the Ming emperors were in the hands of eunuchs, and most of the eunuchs do not study or understand the truth. How can such people be manipulated by such people? Although the Li Qing family has had great mistakes this time, they have also punished them. They ordered him to be the commander of the Jinyiwei, establish the Jinyiwei commander, recruit good children, and order their guards to stay at home, take charge of the jail, and investigate the court stick. Li Qing family, I will make you guilty and make meritorious contributions. Remember to be careful in your words and actions and not repeat the same mistakes."
After hearing this, Li Zheng hurriedly kowtowed: "Long live my emperor!"
He gave a big gift of excitement, crawling with excitement.
Suleiman was not happy, and then said lightly, and the Confucian scholars retreated one after another.
Li Zheng and Zhu Ru left the hall, then stopped and looked grateful and bowed deeply to Zhu Ru: "If you don't have any gentlemen, the student will definitely die. The grace of life will definitely be repaid in the future."
Everyone stroked their beards and smiled.
In fact, from the beginning... Li Zheng understood that it is most important to want to survive, causing these Confucian scholars to feel the most crisis.
My own identity is a Confucian scholar.
The new policy of the Ottoman Emperor was originally under the banner of enriching the country and strengthening the army. But this time, as a Confucian scholar, he actually made such a huge mistake. Then... the entire Ottoman, including the Ottoman Emperor, would inevitably doubt the ability of the Confucian scholars.
This is no longer just suspicion of Li Zheng, but also a group of Confucian scholars.
Because of this, after Li Zheng arrived, he immediately visited all the important Confucian scholars and explained the pros and cons, which was actually to arouse the sense of crisis among Confucian scholars.
For all Confucian scholars, once their knowledge is questioned and even considered useless, the consequences are extremely terrifying.
Fortunately, they were close ministers of Suleiman, so they had already made many advance preparations for the opportunity to be by Suleiman.
In fact, Emperor Suleiman was not a fool. He would never change his views easily based on the Confucian scholars around him.
He is rational and does not weigh the pros and cons of anything he does.
In the end, he met Lee Zheng and wanted to give Lee Zheng a chance.
Li Zheng first turned all the responsibilities on Zhu Cheng. Of course... it is impossible to survive by shirking responsibility, and Li Zheng did not intend to survive by shirking responsibility.
His real killer move lies in arousing the emperor's inner anxiety.
The emperor has been ascending the throne for several years, and the new policy has achieved some results. The Ottoman power has gradually been concentrated in the hands of the Ottoman emperor.
But the power of the old nobles was still strong.
When Li Zheng was on an envoy, it was originally the emperor's approval.
In other words, this plan is closely related to the emperor.
How could an emperor be unsafe? If people know that these are all the emperor's mistakes and this plan doesn't work at all, then... it will inevitably make those who oppose the emperor create momentum and make the Ottoman lose their trust in the Ottoman emperor.
So... this matter can only be a mistake in execution, not a decision-making problem.
Because of this, Zhu Cheng, who was laid out by Li Zheng before, became a scapegoat!
Because as the deputy envoy, he was the biggest executor. As for Li Zheng, of course, he could not be punished heavily, because the decisions and ideas of the emperor and Li Zheng were consistent. Even if the emperor was not wrong, then Li Zheng would not be wrong. Li Zheng’s greatest responsibility was just a crime of misunderstanding.
Moreover, the comments made by Li Zheng and the scholars have made Emperor Suleiman understand that there is no way out to retreat to this day.
The old nobles had ulterior motives, and the only way for the emperor to continue to concentrate power was to rely on these Confucian scholars who were devoted to him. The more critical the loyalty of the people around him was, the more important it was.
The ability size is secondary.
If you are unfaithful, the greater your ability, the greater your destructive power.
Suleiman knew how to judge the situation and immediately made the most secure choice for himself!
The old nobles obviously did not understand that if Suleiman and Li Zheng's plan were successful and the Ottoman's national strength increased greatly, perhaps Suleiman would win over them, show his tolerance and tell them how right I was.
Once the plan fails and is still defeated, the more this happens, the ropes strangled on their necks will become tighter and tighter. As for Li Zheng's arrangements, Suleiman has his own considerations. He needs a system of Jinyiwei to monitor and even attack the old nobles. This Li Zheng who made a mistake must have absolute loyalty. It would be great to use such a person, because he would never worry that Li Zheng would be ruthless in dealing with these old nobles.
At this time, the Confucian scholars actually breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, they knew very well that they had been exploited by Li Zheng.
But so what? What’s the point is that everyone’s crisis has been resolved now.
Besides, Li Zheng is his own person. Now he holds the Jinyiwei and wins over this person, which will only benefit him.
So everyone nodded and said, "Why do you have to thank Mr. Li? This is all because of His Majesty's wiseness."
"Yes, yes, it's all your Majesty who is very clear about it. What's the credit for us?"
Li Zheng smiled and still bowed and thanked each other one by one. He greeted each other and greeted each other in length.
……………………
The prince’s wedding lasted for more than a month.
When a girl from the Fang family married into the Eastern Palace, her dowry will always be the focus of people's attention.
Fang Jifan was a very real person and directly gave a cart of gold and silver.
Cars and horses carrying treasure money were swaying across the market and sent to the East Palace. With such a big show, the capital was in an uproar.
Zhu Houzhao was very pleased with this.
Fang Jifan gave more dowry than he had imagined.
So much so that he was greatly inspired... Now he was wondering if he should make some more money for the bride price.
Holding a princess's list and looking at her dazzling array of daughters, Zhu Houzhao was wondering which daughter is more suitable to marry Fang Zhengqing.
"Zhengqing is also my nephew." Zhu Houzhao said to the queen Fang: "I want to choose the best one, which one is suitable? And Tianci... Tianci is not young and can study now. I have grown up this child and I can't be too busy teaching him civil and martial arts."
Queen Fang said, "Your Majesty, Tianci is still young."
Zhu Houzhao said with a straight face: "That's right, it's very reasonable for a father to care about his daughter's marriage. It's a good thing for a uncle to care about his nephew's marriage."
In this era, marriage between cousins is not only not a taboo, but rather a sign of being more and more kinship and childhood sweethearts.
So Zhu Houzhao is not a slight taboo.
Zhu Houzhao is now full of energy. Xishan New City has a large amount of funds and is already in full swing.
Countless people are looking forward to the construction of this new city quickly.
Merchants also flocked in and were eager to see them.
Zhu Houzhao ascended the throne, which was more radical than the ancestors, and merchants were more at stake in investment.
This made Zhu Houzhao feel at ease.
At this moment, Liu Jin hurried over and said, "Your Majesty... Xu Jing... Xu Jing is back."
"Who is Xu Jing?" Zhu Houzhao raised her eyebrows and said.
Liu Jin: "..."
Liu Jin had to patiently explain: "He is Gan Ye's disciple, he is the one who runs the boat..."
Zhu Houzhao thought for a long time before she became an impression, and then she said with a little surprise: "Oh, has he returned from the Golden Continent?"
