Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 145

As the second place in Hongwu's 21st year, Zhuo Jing thinks he is quite talented and indeed has ambitions.

Today's Zhuo Jing has a bright future in the eyes of some people, because he is extremely intelligent and knowledgeable, because he is far-sighted enough, upright, and does not shy away from power.

It's just that Zhuo Jing also has his own worries, he can be regarded as the emperor's grandson's team, and he can be regarded as one of the best.But on the side of the emperor's grandson, Zhuo Jing didn't dare to be conceited, some colleagues seemed to be more valued by the emperor's grandson than him.

Needless to say, Ru Yu was accompanied by her grandson in the past, and she was intelligent, studious, diligent in her duties, and cautious in her words and deeds.Lian Zining is famous for his literature, and now he is the biological father of the grandson and side concubine, so his status is different.Including Huang Zicheng, who is also a man of profound knowledge and is quite prestigious among scholars.

The emperor's grandson has a group of heroes, Zhuo Jing knows that he has the upper hand compared to others, but it is not easy to get ahead.Even if he is now a doctor of the household department, he is already the fifth rank, and he may move up at any time, and then he will be eligible to go to the morning court.

Zhuo Jing who received Taisun's order did not dare to be careless, and immediately rushed to Wenhua Hall.As for the envious eyes of colleagues who work together, Zhuo Jing is used to it, whoever let him be a member of Taisun's team naturally has more opportunities.

After Wang Chengen reported, Zhu Xiongying just nodded.It wasn't intentional beating, but Zhu Xiongying was reading the scriptures and didn't have time to pay attention to Zhuo Jing.Zhuo Jing, who entered the Wenhua Palace, naturally waited respectfully, which is also the attitude that courtiers should have.

Zhu Xiongying put down the notebook and said to Zhuo Jing, "Wei Gong, what do you think of Jin Yiwei?"

Zhuo Jing said hastily, "Jin Yiwei directly drives the bodyguards, inspects and arrests, and has repeatedly made outstanding achievements. But now Jin Yiwei is powerful, in charge of prisons, and has the power to inspect and arrest. Your Highness, although Jin Yiwei is the emperor's pro-army, it is just that there are many insults, The act of abusing prisoners, these people also have the act of fabricating crimes and creating unjust cases!"

Zhu Xiongying nodded slightly, and then asked, "What does Wei Gong mean, my palace abolished Jin Yiwei?"

"Your Highness, Jin Yiwei must not be dismissed!" Zhuo Jing said hastily, "Although Jin Yiwei has many illegal acts, these people are the emperor's pro-army after all, supervising the people, nobles, collecting intelligence, instigating against the enemy generals, how can they give up because of choking?"

Zhu Xiongying laughed, and then said, "It's just that this Jinyiwei's actions are too cruel. I went to the prison when I was young, and I really can't bear it. How about it, after you go back today and write an excerpt, this Jinyiwei should also be rectified. "

Zhuo Jing immediately took the order, and he didn't have the slightest pressure to attack Jin Yiwei.Because Jin Yiwei is too arrogant and domineering, many civil and military officials are also afraid of Jin Yiwei.There is no harm in attacking Jin Yiwei.

It's just that when Zhuo Jing left Wenhua Palace, he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, he almost made a big mistake.

It was obvious that Taisun had already decided to punish Jin Yiwei, and this time he was asked to come here only to provoke this matter.If he just said something like dethroning Jin Yiwei, Zhuo Jing didn't need to doubt at all, his status in Taisun's mind would drop a bit, Taisun is not so easy to fool.

In front of the emperor's grandson, don't play so many tricks. The most important thing is to do things well. The emperor's grandson doesn't like courtiers with big eyes.

What Zhuo Jing was thinking, Zhu Xiongying really didn't care much.But he was quite satisfied with Zhuo Jing's statement just now. Jin Yiwei naturally needs to be rectified, but if someone dares to abolish Jin Yiwei, Zhu Xiongying has to analyze that person's motives.

Continuing to handle official business in the Wenhua Palace, Zhu Xiongying also summoned some civil and military officials and officials from the Six Ministries from time to time, and some things really needed to be asked more.

These civil and military people are probably used to some things, and His Majesty the Emperor of the Hall of Martial Arts will summon them at any time.And the emperor's grandson of the Wenhua Palace will also issue orders, which will not be unfamiliar or contradictory, because the owner of the Wenhua Palace was the crown prince.

You just need to ask the eunuch who passed the decree, as long as you find out whether it is the emperor summoning or the grandson summoning, this is not unfamiliar to civil and military officials, and it has been such a routine all these years.

Zhu Xiongying sat in the Wenhua Hall, and Liu Sanwu, a scholar of the Imperial Academy, Zhang Xin, Dai Yi, and others came to the Wenhua Hall after receiving orders.

"The ministers and others will see His Royal Highness, His Highness, His Highness Qianqiu."

Zhu Xiongying calmly raised his hand, "All my loves, let's get back together. Wang Chengen, show my loves."

With the emperor's grandson bestowing a seat, it is indispensable to thank you again, but it is just going through the motions a little bit, no one takes it seriously, and this is not such a heavy reward.

In fact, when these people came here, they could probably guess what was going on.In fact, this year's examination, everyone heard the wind that His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun will be the examiner, which also made many people feel excited and looking forward to it.

After all, over the years, the emperor's grandson still has a reputation for not being close to Confucian scholars and not respecting Confucius and Mencius.Now that the emperor's grandson is in charge of the examination, in some people's eyes, it means that the emperor's grandson has changed his ways, and it is a strong signal that the emperor's grandson wants to reuse the saint's children.

Zhu Xiongying didn't know what these people were thinking, even if they knew, they would probably just sneer at them.

Confucianism is still useful, not to mention that Confucianism has penetrated into the genes of such a nation.That is, many Confucian views are beneficial to the feudal imperial power. Obviously, Zhu Xiongying will not overthrow them all directly, and will not think about starting another academic school.

At most, it is to restrict Confucianism a little bit, so that the Confucian family will not be dominant, and the civil officials will not all come from Confucianism, so that the civil official groups are naturally close and united. That is not in line with Zhu Xiongying's interests. interests of the emperor.

How can there be so much hatred or extremes, only the differences in interests and positions.

Zhu Xiongying opened his mouth slowly, and said, "Your Majesty ordered me to preside over the examinations for this subject. All my loves will go back and write up the schedule, and hand over the statistics of the previous imperial examination questions, the places of origin of Jinshi, etc. to my palace."

Naturally, these people have no objection to Zhu Xiongying's words, and think that this is basically in line with the routine.The only difference is probably that Zhu Xiongying asked for the native places of some previous Jinshi, which is naturally not a big deal, just a little statistics.

This is a rare opportunity to work with the emperor's grandson. If you seize this opportunity, you may be appreciated by the emperor's grandson, and you may have a chance to soar into the sky.After all, these people nowadays are basically in noble positions, not to mention having no real power, and relatively few salaries and so on.

Now that everyone has come to be an official, whether it is for the benefit of the people, the safety of the country, or just for the high-ranking officials, they must work hard to climb up, otherwise why bother in the court.

Not to mention that Daming's salary is not high, civil service is a high-risk occupation, maybe he will be beheaded by His Majesty the Emperor at any time, maybe the whole family will go to the execution ground together.If there is no motivation and expectation, who is willing to do this high-risk thing.

The matter of the examination still needs to be paid attention to. Now that the world is peaceful, the imperial examination is naturally the most important and safest way to obtain a scholar.

This is not to win over scholars, it is simply because the current Daming still lacks various grassroots officials, and Daming's officialdom also needs enough fresh blood.

Those who read sage books cannot be said to be talents, but in this era when the literacy rate is very low, if these scholars are trained a little, they can still be expected to be good local officials.If you have talent and potential, you might be able to gain a foothold in the court.

Zhu Xiongying has thought about building a school now, but he also knows that such a thing is not very realistic at present.

Leaving aside if a 'new style school' is to be established, it will take a long enough time to see some effect.It is just that the food and clothing of the people now may not be completely solved. It is simply a fantasy to open schools or something. At that time, these schools will still make wedding dresses for the gentry.

As far as the current stage of productivity is concerned, the main selection of talents through imperial examinations still relies on the disciples of sages.Zhu Xiongying would only restrict Confucianism, and never thought of overthrowing it completely or abandoning it.

Don't say that he is just the grandson of the emperor, even the emperor can't do it all.

Zhu Xiongying was in a good mood and seemed to have handled the day's affairs.Compared with before, Zhu Xiongying now needs to do a lot more things, and he feels more and more that he needs to think about some things.

Lao Zhu is a workaholic and full of mistrust of outsiders.After the prime minister was deposed, Lao Zhu became even more monopolized and the imperial power was highly concentrated.

This is of course a good thing for the imperial power, but such things will also increase the workload of the emperor.If he didn't form a cabinet or something, he would have to be entangled in these things every day, which obviously wasn't what Zhu Xiongying wanted to see.

Taking a leisurely walk and exercising a little bit, Zhu Xiongying has been insisting on things like physical exercise since she was a child.Even though this is different from the ideas of some people nowadays, Zhu Xiongying knows that life lies in exercise, and necessary exercise is very necessary.

"Ying'er, let me show you a memorial." Old Zhu was full of interest, and handed Zhu Xiongying a memorial, "This is our "Traditional Route to the Universe", and this is our Great Ming Dynasty!"

This is the first draft. Lao Zhu thought that the vastness of the land could not be recorded without books, so he ordered the Confucian scholars in the Hanlin to compile and classify the books according to the number of Dao Li in the world.So now, basically, the main traffic arteries of Ming Dynasty and the frontier lands have been counted.

Zhu Xiongying also looked at it with great interest, this is a unified dynasty, and Zhu Xiongying also has reason to believe that the territory of Ming Dynasty will become bigger and bigger!
"Grandfather, our Ming Dynasty is not big enough!" Zhu Xiongying smiled and said to Lao Zhu, "Now the Ming Dynasty is rich and powerful, with a lot of food reserves, weapons, and military horses. There are many elite soldiers waiting for you. Grandpa, just wait and see." With that said, my grandson will definitely open up new territories, and add more glory to the grandpa's great achievements!"

Old Zhu smiled openly, his grandson really has ambition!
