Since Wu Sidao withdrew from the Military Affairs Office, he rarely met Zhu Yicheng anyway before, and Zhu Yicheng has not seen him for some days.

This is not because there is a gap between Zhu Yicheng and Wu Sidao, or if he no longer trusts Wu Sidao. On the contrary, Zhu Yicheng knew the reason why Wu Sidao withdrew from the Military Affairs Office. Moreover, in his opinion, Wu Sidao, who is not greedy for power, is more trustworthy than other ministers. Today, Wu Sidao took the initiative to meet him, and he felt that both sides were much closer to each other after not seeing Zhu Yicheng for many days.

Wu Sidao was still the same, with a calm and peaceful manner, which made Zhu Yicheng even happier. The two of them started laughing at the wheelchair, took a sip of tea, and chatted for a moment, Zhu Yicheng asked about the prince's studies.

"The prince is smart." Wu Sidao said four words after pondering.

"My son is naturally smart. As a mountain leader, can he just say these two words?" Zhu Yicheng asked curiously.

Wu Sidao smiled and said, "The prince was young and had just started school. His studies will naturally deepen over time. You should know that studying is not something that can be achieved overnight. It is a drop of water that can be passed through. Besides, the emperor's deep meaning of building this college is well known that the effect can naturally be seen in time..." Speaking of this, Wu Sidao turned his head and said, "There are countless people in the world, but people are different. Some people say that Buddhism has wisdom, Confucianism and enlightenment. Even ordinary people often say that they are in a natural mind, but regardless of which one, they are summarized into two words "intelligence"! However, it is not so easy to be truly intelligent. This is given by God and cannot be obtained by ordinary people."

"There is also this kind of statement? Why have I never heard of it? You are not fooling me, right?" Zhu Yicheng asked in confusion.

"Otherwise!" Wu Sidao said righteously: "Although I am not a monk, I do not lie. The prince is indeed extremely intelligent, and can learn knowledge and character slowly cultivate it. However, this intelligence is born and cannot be sought by others. I am here to congratulate the emperor on his intelligence, just as everyone in the world praises the emperor for his wisdom."

Hearing this, Zhu Yicheng couldn't help laughing. He pointed at the serious Wu Sidao and laughed so hard. This guy clearly used the prince's intelligence to flatter himself. Fortunately, he actually came up with such an idea and went around such a big circle to make him happy. When he thought of this, Zhu Yicheng couldn't help but shake his head.

"Hey, how can I be wise now? I reformed the official system and created the integrity system. I originally wanted to increase the treatment of officials to eliminate corruption... But now, since the case in Fujian was released, it was really shocking. Then I sent someone to investigate. My Ming Dynasty is now full of corrupt officials, and I have lost all my face."

"Emperor, although there are some problems with the administration of the government now, the flaws are not concealed!" Wu Sidao advised: "Although the minister in this case is not in the center, I have heard of it. In fact, there are not many real corruption. Some people just take some small advantages or are pulled into the water to mess with themselves. My Daming is now booming, and in terms of administration, it is much more than the Qingming period of the Qingming period in the Qingming period. Moreover, because of the emperor's actions to raise integrity, many officials have no worries and can be at ease as the herdsmen of the Ming Dynasty. Why should the emperor be blinded by a leaf?"

Zhu Yicheng's expression eased a lot, and Wu Sidao's words were clearly just a defense for himself. In fact, Zhu Yicheng has been reflecting these days. He reflected on whether some of his decisions were too ideal, just like the system of maintaining integrity. The court took so much money and paid high salaries to maintain integrity, but still could not stop the officials' desire for money. Did he make a mistake at the beginning?

However, in Zhu Yicheng's heart, another voice told him that there is nothing wrong with raising integrity with high salaries. While implementing the raising integrity with high salaries, the court did not ignore the supervision system of officials. Just like the current Fujian case, these corrupt officials were eventually found out. Next, they used thunder to rectify a group of people, and the administration would naturally improve.

These two thoughts have been wandering in Zhu Yicheng's mind, which is also the main reason why he becomes more and more depressed as he reads the case file these days. Now, Wu Sidao's words took the initiative to defend him and pointed out the advantages of his policies, which made Zhu Yicheng feel much more comfortable.

"Your words make sense." Zhu Yicheng nodded slightly, and then said, "I also know that there is nothing perfect in this world, but this time it is really beyond my expectations. Originally, I only thought it was a problem with some officials before sending Chen Wuxian to Fujian, but now it seems that it is the tip of the iceberg!"

Wu Sidao nodded in agreement, but hesitated and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know if I should say something."

"If you have something to say, why should you learn from others to do this?" Zhu Yicheng immediately became unhappy: "You Wu Sidao are not a hesitant person. Have you not seen me for many days, but now you are afraid of me?"

Wu Sidao smiled: "What are the words of the emperor? I just saw that the emperor was in a bad mood these days, and I was afraid that if he said the wrong thing, he would ruin the emperor's happiness."

"There are so many things that have been disappointed these days, so you don't have to say these words, just say it." Zhu Yicheng lowered his sleeves, picked up the tea and started drinking.

Wu Sidao nodded and immediately said, "Emperor, in fact, it is not a bad thing to have a case in Fujian. It is said that the so-called "Sai's misfortune is not a blessing. Since this pustule is out, it is just like punctured. Why should the emperor be so worried?"

Zhu Yicheng didn't say anything, and listened quietly to Wu Sidao continue.

"In fact, the matter of administration cannot be avoided in all dynasties. Although the administration of the Ming Dynasty cannot be regarded as absolute peace, it is very good compared to the Qing Dynasty, let alone the previous comparison. What the emperor has built a system of officials and created the system of maintenance of integrity, which has made the world's honest and honest officials praise each other. Let's talk about it. You know that you have always been unfamiliar with management and governance. If it weren't for the system set by the emperor, how could you have today's leisure? I'm afraid your family will be unable to expose the blame."

Wu Sidao used himself as an example to make Zhu Yicheng smile at the corner of his mouth. This is true. If the income of the officials in the past Ming Dynasty was compared, Wu Sidao's annual salary would probably not be enough for him to drink for a month, not to mention that his family now has several wives, concubines and maids. Every day, under the moon, the flowers are in front of the moon, and the silk and bamboo are dancing and companionship, and they are full of joy.

"But the emperor should know that the administration of the government is not a slump. It requires the court to rectify it slowly, just like a big wave. I inquired about the case in Fujian a few days ago and found a noteworthy issue, that is, most of the officials involved in the case of Fujian were officials who were retained at the time, and not many officials who have been enrolled in the imperial examination since the restoration of the Ming Dynasty. Some people are mostly just minor even if they are involved."
