Perhaps there were many people in the Ming Dynasty who had such ideas, but Zhu Youxiao was not one of them.
Zhu Youxiao naturally didn't explain anything, but just smiled and said: "I'm relieved of a worry, of course I'm happy. And I've been waiting for news from Liaodong. Now that the news from Liaodong has come, I can go out for a walk."
Looking at Zhu Youxiao helplessly, Empress Zhang said: "How long have you been back? Are you leaving again?"
Empress Zhang's tone was filled with resentment. She glanced at Zhu Youxiao with a rather resentful look and said, "The world is so vast, and Your Majesty has so many officials to support. Why does he have to do everything himself?"
"Just tell your subordinates to do it. If they do well, reward them. If they don't, punish them. Why bother yourself with so much trouble?"
Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said, "You are wrong this time."
Then he said with some emotion: "At this day in the Ming Dynasty, there are many things that I don't need to do personally."
"This time I'm going out just to take a walk and have a look. They're doing a land survey outside, and I want to see how they're doing. Besides, Ming Dynasty has such beautiful mountains and rivers, it would be boring if I didn't go for a walk. So I'm going to take a look. I'm also going to Tianjin, as there are some things I should put on the agenda."
Empress Zhang looked at Zhu Youxiao with an even more resentful look in her eyes, and said quietly, "Then I want to go and see it too."
After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao's face showed some embarrassment.
The reason why he could travel around the world with such peace of mind was not only because the ministers in the court did not cause any trouble, but also because Empress Zhang was in charge of the palace.
You can take others out, but you must never take Queen Zhang with you.
If the palace gets into chaos, it will be difficult for people outside to control it if I'm not there, so someone needs to be in charge in the palace, and that person is naturally Empress Zhang.
Moreover, if anything happens in the capital, Empress Zhang can make the decision.
Looking at the somewhat embarrassed Zhu Youxiao, Empress Zhang rolled her eyes at him and said with a smile, "I understand, Your Majesty. I can't go anywhere in this lifetime, so I will just guard this palace."
Zhu Youxiao reached out and took her hand, saying with a smile: "Baozhu, you are wrong. You are not guarding the palace, but guarding me."
Looking at Zhu Youxiao's eyes, Empress Zhang smiled even more happily.
The meal ended here, and the couple went to take a shower together
After taking a bath for two hours, Zhu Youxiao took Empress Zhang for a stroll in the garden before returning to Kunning Palace together.
Zhu Youxiao never came out again that night.
The news of victory in Liaodong spread in the capital, but the response was mediocre.
Compared to the last time Huang Taiji was annihilated, no one paid much attention to the Liaodong victory this time. After all, it was a fight between Mongolian tribes, which was nothing in itself and far away from them.
What's more, the current Ming Dynasty is very powerful, and both officials and people are used to it.
His Majesty's martial arts skills are comparable to those of all the wise emperors of all dynasties. In the entire Ming Dynasty, the only two emperors who can be compared with His Majesty are Emperor Taizong and Emperor Taizu. No one else can be compared with him at all.
Under such circumstances, the Liaodong war did not cause any waves at all. Instead, everyone was concerned about the land inventory, which concerned many people.
Many officials were in a panic, fearing that problems would be discovered and the court would hold them accountable.
Many high-ranking officials in the imperial court were unaware of the extent of their family's land holdings. However, they knew deep down that it was certainly substantial, believing their families must have acquired a significant amount of land in the countryside. Regardless of how they acquired it, the amount of land was undoubtedly substantial.
This time the imperial court is investigating and it doesn’t matter how you got here, as long as you have a lot of land, it’s a problem.
Xu Jie was known as a wise minister back then, but what was the result?
After so much land was discovered in the family, the family's reputation was ruined in an instant.
You say Yan Song is greedy, but you are even greedier than him! Look at the land in your home, what is that?
That's all evidence of your corruption!
Back then, there was a Hai Rui who caused panic among the people, but what about now?
Nowadays, all the guys in the Ministry of Public Security are Hai Rui. If you are targeted by them, you are finished.
No one who could enter the Ministry of Civil Affairs was easy to mess with. Many were graduates of the Imperial Academy. These people were proficient in mathematics and had a clear understanding of the ways of the world and the intricacies of officialdom.
It’s not easy to fool them!
