The sun slanted in and the light was clear.

The Empress Dowager picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea. Seeing that Zhu Zhanji was calm, she said, "the court is stable. When do you want to wait?"

Zhu Zhanji said: "the court has no objection to this, but is eyeing the position of the prince's division, which has been surging in the undercurrent."

The Empress Dowager frowned and said, "so you drove away Jin Youzi and asked xinghebo to leave the capital temporarily?"

The Empress Dowager felt that he was weak.

Zhu Zhanji looked at her and said, "empress mother, Jin Youzi, I don't want to hear too much noise. As for Xinghe Bo, I'm afraid the world will shake after establishing a reserve. The north is not evidence, but there will be some trouble in the south."

"What trouble?"

The Empress Dowager paid attention to state affairs, but did not pay attention to those disputes.

Zhu Zhanji smiled and said, "the struggle between Confucianism and science."

The Empress Dowager suddenly realized: "the dispute between emperors and teachers?"

Only the Empress Dowager dared to say this. If others said it, they would curse the emperor's early death.

Zhu Zhanji nodded and said, "not to compete for that position, but to compete for... What the prince will learn in the future."

The Empress Dowager leaned back slightly, as if leaning against the back of the chair to resist the sudden feeling of weakness.

She squinted at the outside and said faintly, "did you come after all?"

"From the time the Academy began to recruit students to the time when your grandfather allowed science to spread, I knew there would be such a day. I just didn't expect to come so early."

"What are you going to do?"

The Empress Dowager didn't want Zhu Zhanji to choose the side to stand. "It was for today that you let xinghebo hang the title of Prince Shaoshi, but the crowd was surging, and the corn will become the target of public criticism in the future."

"Sometimes the emperor should rule by bowing to the arch, throw out the problems, watch them fight coldly, and finally guide them to win the results he wants. This is the way of the emperor."

The Empress Dowager did not lack political wisdom, and even Zhu Zhanji deeply admired her.

"Empress mother, this matter is concerned about the national fortune of Daming in the next hundred years."

Zhu Zhanji said seriously: "once the teacher after the crown prince is set, Daming will set the direction in the next hundred years, and then..."

"Then there are endless disputes."

The Empress Dowager said somewhat depressed, "those people will not give up. Once the king is not taught by them, it is to betray them. At that time..."

Zhu Zhanji suddenly smiled and said, "so I let xinghebo go to Shandong."

The Empress Dowager said unhappily, "don't think they couldn't guess who did it last time the wall collapsed. If you do it again, it's uncertain that those gentry who feel aggrieved will dare to knock on the que. At that time, it will be a dilemma."

Zhu Zhanji said with a smile, "Xinghe Bo is much more stable now. Naturally, he won't do that."

The Empress Dowager couldn't help laughing: "after the matter was reported, Emperor Wen and your father immediately said that it was Xinghe Bo. It was like a prank and didn't grow up!"

Zhu Zhanji said with a smile: "in those days, Xinghe Bo felt oppressed, but he still knew the sense of propriety. Now he is more stable. I think some people will be more interesting."

The Empress Dowager sighed, "that's digging their foundation! It's hard to want them to be quiet."

Zhu Zhanji said: "empress mother, this step has been thought for many years. Only recently did she dare to determine and make up her mind."

"When Grandpa Huang was there, they were deeply rooted, so they couldn't be shaken. When his father was there, he only had time to suppress them..."

Zhu Zhanji's eyebrows were more excited: "empress mother, for 30 years, as long as 30 years, we can create a great enemy for Confucianism and make the Ming Dynasty strong. I am duty bound. There is no more" that is the way of the former Song Dynasty! I can't go. "

The Empress Dowager warned, "martial arts people should be vigilant, but they can't go the way of the former Song Dynasty. It's self destruction of the Great Wall."

Zhu Zhanji said with a smile, "don't worry, empress mother. The careful thinking of those people is like watching fire. If they want to take the opportunity to finalize the status of Confucianism, it also depends on whether I am confused."

The Empress Dowager said, "now that it has been decided, we must think carefully. When Xinghe Bo will return, we must have a good plan. Don't be in the limelight, otherwise the crowd will be excited and there will be a lot of trouble."

"Empress mother, I'm ready to let the emperor watch the day."

The Empress Dowager was slightly stunned and asked, "so urgent?"

Zhu Zhanji said, "I have just reduced or exempted 10% of the world's grain tax. It's good for the city or worried about the people, but when the opportunity appears, we can't give up."

The Empress Dowager understood that the emperor first used grain tax relief to win the support of the people, and then set up a reserve, which could reduce a lot of trouble.

"But why don't you first set up a reserve and then reduce or exempt grain taxes in the name of a reserve?"

It's like that whenever the royal family has a major change, it always uses amnesty to win the hearts of the people. The Empress Dowager feels that Zhu Zhanji has given up this opportunity. It's really inexplicable.

Zhu Zhanji said, "I'm the emperor first, and I think the emperor first is to take care of the world, so it's enough to borrow the reduction and exemption of grain tax. If we have to connect the Li Chu with the city's grace, I think these years have passed in vain, and successive emperors are incompetent."

The Empress Dowager smiled bitterly and said, "your proud appearance is similar to that of your emperor grandfather. They all think they are the son of heaven. They are confident that no one can beat them."

Zhu Zhanji said faintly, "Grandpa Huang is the emperor I have always admired, but I know I can't imitate, so every innovation is like a wave. These innovations are impacting those chronic diseases. I hope Daming can determine a pattern before I can't afford it."

He got up, looked outside and said, "running water doesn't rot!"

……

Then the news came out of the palace. His majesty ordered the emperor to choose the day.

What day?

Countless people are guessing and questioning.

But in the eyes of those important officials in the court, there was nothing to hide.

"It's time to set up a reserve!"

When the breeze blew in, Hu felt cold.

……

Xia Yuanji reviewed the cost of Nanbei Avenue in the Ministry of household.

Such things are time-consuming and require concentration, so impatient people can't do them.

"Sir, the news from the palace."

Xia Yuanji looked up, rubbed his eyes, and asked wearily, "what news?"

The visitor said, "Your Majesty, your majesty ordered the emperor to choose the auspicious day."

Xia Yuanji's index finger still stayed on the eyebrow bone. When he heard the speech, he was surprised and said, "but Li Chu?"

The man nodded and said, "yes."

Xia Yuanji put down his book and shook the abacus to zero.

"Finally."

He just sighed, while Meng Ying was swearing at the governor's house of the Fifth Army.

"Call someone. If you don't come at this time, you deserve bad luck in the future!"

So the war horses came out everywhere and spread the news that the emperor wanted to establish a reserve to those Wu Xun's homes, making the atmosphere a little tense.

In the royal guards, Shenyang stood on the steps and said to his men murderously, "it's important to keep an eye on those ministers who are qualified to influence this matter. Also, warn those green skins that those who dare to stir up the muddy water at this time are not exiles."
