Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 163 Status
Zhu Xiongying needs to have his own team, and such a team is obviously not just in the military, and it doesn't just mean that he has the support of nobles.After all, civil servants are still needed to govern the world, and it is necessary to have some relatively reliable systems.

From now on, Zhu Xiongying thinks it is no problem to cultivate his own team and system. For such a thing, Lao Zhu is also happy to see the results.After all, at this age, even if Lao Zhu thinks he is in good health, he still worries about not waking up, and worrying about the inheritance of the country.

This is very good now, there are some reliable officials above the court, and Zhu Xiongying also has key officials here.

As the first civil servant of the Taisun family, Ru Yuan's status is very special.He was once the grandson's companion, even if the grandson did not become the national image expected by the Confucian disciples under his influence, as long as the grandson does not seem to be tyrannical, then everything is fine, and there will be opportunities in the future.

What's more, even if some officials feel that the grandson is very similar to today's emperor, it is a good thing to some extent.

Today's emperor oppresses civil servants very badly, today's emperor is not polite to attack nobles, and today's emperor is full of prestige... But no matter what, today's emperor is to drive out the Tartars and restore China, and today's emperor is also to establish a country and establish a dynasty, so that the people of the world We can have a meal to eat, and we don't need to worry about chaos in the world.

What's more, many people have also seen that today's people are not good to civil and military officials, but they really love the people like children.

If the great-grandson can do these things after succeeding to the throne, a prosperous dynasty might really come.By that time, this can be regarded as the era of great rule that many civil servants are looking forward to, allowing them to show their ambitions and leave their names in history.

Arriving at the East Palace, this has a different meaning to Ru Xun.

Usually, grandchildren meet in Wenhua Palace or Qianqing Palace, or places like Fengtian Palace, which are more official.As for the current East Palace, this obviously has some signals.

Zhu Xiongying is actually used to this. Some of his behaviors will be interpreted by many people, and some of his behaviors do have some obvious signals.

"Chen Ruyu pays homage to His Royal Highness the Empress Dowager!" Ruyu was very polite and bowed down immediately.

Zhu Xiongying raised his hand with a smile and said, "Liangyu is too polite, so there is no need to be more polite here. Speaking of which, in two days, the palace will evaluate the descendants of nobles in the East Palace. I remember that Ru Jian has grown up, so we will be together at that time." come over!"

Although Ru Xun was excited, she still said, "Your Highness, this is not in line with etiquette."

The imperial court had previously issued a decree that the assessment of meritorious service would begin, but it did not say that the children of civil officials' families would be assessed.It is also easy to understand here, the honorable title can be passed on, even if the civil servants here are heirs to the family, but the imperial examination failed to get ahead, there is no way.

Ru Xun was a little excited. Traditional civil servants like him sometimes seemed to disregard military honors, but these civil servants also knew very well that those titles were hard for civil servants like them to obtain, and it was difficult for them to match It is difficult for them to have a title so that future generations can live comfortably.

Zhu Xiongying smiled and said to Ru Yu, "I remember going to Liangyu's mansion when I was young, and now it has been more than ten years. In these years, Bengong has grown a bit, and Liangyu is even more talented. This Palace has high expectations for Liangyu."

Ru Yu immediately fell to her knees excitedly, a little choked up, "I will repay Your Highness with all my heart!"

It is perfectly normal for Ru Yu to have such an attitude. In such a feudal dynasty, she still cares about the monarch and ministers very much.Among the universal values, there are indeed such things as the grace of knowledge and encounter.

Zhu Xiongying smiled, and said to Ru Yu, "Liangyu, I'm afraid that many people in the court are discussing the matter of moving the capital, and there must be some complaints and complaints. From Liangyu's point of view, how should the matter of moving the capital be?"

Ru Yu blurted out naturally, this matter has actually been settled long ago, "Your Highness, Yingtian Mansion is prosperous, but it is only the capital of Yingtian Mansion, and within two dynasties there will be singing and dancing, luxury and pleasure. Now in Yingtian Mansion, there is such a atmosphere, Jiangnan is prosperous ..."

Zhu Xiongying interrupted with a smile, and said to Ru Yu, "Liangyu doesn't need to say much, the matter of moving the capital has long been settled. In fact, the emperor's grandfather also thought about it before. Yingtianfu is better than Yingtianfu, and Guanzhong is also related to Zhongzhong Advantages. There is no real perfect place, and we can only find a balance when we move the capital."

This is also what Zhu Xiongying said in his heart. Naturally, there is no perfect choice of capital. What Ming needs is a capital that meets most needs.Even if there are some shortcomings because of this, it can be tolerated.

Looking at Ruyu, Zhu Xiongying asked bluntly, "There is no doubt about the move of the capital. Liangyu also followed my palace in Beiping on business. If Liangyu is the first to move there this time, to house officials, family members, and gentry, How are you?"

Without further ado, Ru Yu bowed to accept the order, "I accept the order!"

For such a work arrangement, Ru Xun of course accepted the order.To be honest, he didn't want to take this job, but since the emperor's grandson asked, Ru Xun would naturally not refuse, he knew that this was also the emperor's training for him.

Doing more things will naturally lead to more achievements. Some things can be regarded as the trust of the emperor's grandson in him. Such a job cannot be refused. He wants to prove his ability, and he looks forward to growing in the eyes of the emperor's grandson. A true king of the humerus.

The status of an accompanying student allowed him to seize the opportunity, and his good performance over the years also gave him more opportunities to perform.But Ru Xun understands that he can't be complacent, there are still many talented people above the court, and many of them just don't have the opportunity to show themselves.

You can't think that you are irreplaceable, not to mention that Ruzhen still has a lot of expectations and ambitions!
Zhu Xiongying is very satisfied with Ru Yu's performance, Zhu Xiongying likes such an obedient civil and military, especially when it comes to some big things, Zhu Xiongying doesn't like everyone's discussion, and doesn't like some people's constant doubts.

Perhaps the current Zhu Xiongying already has the potential to act arbitrarily, but it is hard to say whether Zhu Xiongying will be an independent husband in the future.But for Zhu Xiongying, there is no need to worry so much about such things now.

After Ru Yu left, Yan Zhen came straight, and he was considered an important member of Taisun's team.

In fact, Yan Zhen is not a traditional civil servant at all. He is from a wealthy family and was selected as the food chief, so he slowly made his way.This position is not even considered a real official, it is an official, of course better than an official, and the head of food is a position passed down from generation to generation.

Looking at Yan Zhenzhi, Zhu Xiongying smiled and said, "Zhenzhi, do you know that there are many people talking about my palace's heavy craftsman and love of strange and obscene skills?"

The reason for saying this is, of course, the current environment. Everyone just looks down on craftsmen, and Lao Zhu also directly classifies craftsmen as low status, so the social status of craftsmen is naturally lower.

In fact, old feudalists like Lao Zhu regarded craftsmen and merchants as irrelevant for production, so naturally they suppressed them.The rulers of other dynasties are actually the same. They all think that reading and farming are serious things, and other things must be restricted, especially businessmen need to be suppressed. Lao Zhu is stricter at best.

Yan Zhenzhi didn't hide much, and said, "Returning to Your Highness, there are indeed people in the court talking about it, saying that Your Highness treats craftsmen too generously!"

Zhu Xiongying was noncommittal, but asked again, "Zhenzhi, in your opinion, is there something wrong with my palace treating the craftsmen too generously?"

Yan Zhenzhi contemplated a little this time before he said, "Your Highness, most of my ministers work in the Ministry of Industry. His Highness favors me, so I can be in the court. I often interact with craftsmen in Beiping, and I feel that Your Highness should treat craftsmen favorably, and should treat them well." Suppress the artisans!"

Zhu Xiongying was very interested and asked, "Oh? Tell me, why do you say that?
Yan Zhenzhi immediately replied, "I live in Wucheng, and I think most of the craftsmen are carpenters, blacksmiths, etc. This time I went to Beiping, and I broadened my horizons. Carpenters and blacksmiths are naturally important, and I also need master craftsmen in Ming Dynasty. But now, there are many craftsmen. It is people's livelihood, and it is more luxurious and enjoyable. Like this, I feel that the court should not encourage it."

Zhu Xiongying couldn't help laughing, Yan Zhenzhi was quite courageous, but what he said was quite reasonable.

Needless to say, porcelain or something, this has always been the label of the Chinese nation.Silk fabrics and so on, this is also one of the labels of the Chinese nation.These things are of course very important, and such luxuries are indeed necessary.

It's just that Zhu Xiongying also feels that this kind of atmosphere needs a little attention to guide, and there must be no problem in improving the quality of life.But if there is a blind pursuit of pleasure and so on, this is what Zhu Xiongying doesn't like to see.

In fact, the current Daming is not bad, the old Zhu who grew up in the bitter water is sitting in the world, but he is not extravagant and extravagant, and he can even be regarded as relatively simple.And Zhu Xiongying, the third generation of the emperor, is actually relatively simple, and he is not considered a hedonist.

Under such circumstances, some civil and military officials also murmured in their hearts, thinking that Emperor Zhu's family was born with mud legs, and they didn't understand life or enjoyment at all.Under such circumstances, those rich families sometimes pay attention to the influence, and dare not make too much noise, for fear of becoming in the eyes of Emperor Zhu.

Zhu Xiongying said with a smile, "It's reasonable, but carpenters are indispensable. Zhenzhi, but I think this palace should train blacksmiths, gunpowder and other craftsmen? Those who can improve the military of the Ming Dynasty should be cultivated more. Is it necessary to limit the enjoyment?"

Yan Zhenzhi had such thoughts, and he also felt that some of his suggestions were very reasonable, and felt that his suggestions could also be adopted.

Emperor Zhu himself didn't particularly like pleasure, and the emperor's grandson also didn't like luxury.Under such circumstances, it is natural that the fire in Jingdezhen will not be extinguished all night, and Ge Kiln and Longquan will not become holy places in the hearts of many craftsmen.

"You did a good job in Beiping this time, exceeding my expectations." Looking at Yan Zhenzhi, Zhu Xiongying did not hesitate to praise, "This time the craftsmen from all over the world gathered in Beiping, Zhenzhi arranged everything in an orderly manner, and the imperial city and palace were built. It's not bad. It seems that I can do the post of Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, and I can do it well in this position."

Excited Yan Zhen kept thanking En, from a wealthy country gentleman to one of the six ministers, this span is a bit big.It is probably because Yan Zhenzhi had just made such a huge leap in identity and class because the country had just been founded.

Yan Zhenzhi understands better that he has indeed done a lot of things in these years, but it is actually a bit exaggerated to say that Beiping City and the Imperial Palace were built under his auspices.But Yan Zhenzhi understands better that he has indeed proved his ability. He has completed the task of the emperor's grandson, and he knows the importance of the Institute of Engineering in the heart of the emperor's grandson.

Yan Zhenzhi left the East Palace full of expectations, naturally because his official career went well and he had the opportunity to make further progress.

Yan Zhenzhi also understood that he was somewhat different from those traditional civil servants.Even in the Ming Dynasty, there were some civil servants who did not take the imperial examination, but now there are fewer and fewer such officials.Yan Zhen knew straight away that without the vigorous cultivation of his grandson, it would be impossible for him to have such a smooth official career, let alone become the sixth minister!

As for whether there is any intention of the emperor's grandson to suppress traditional Confucian disciples, Yan Zhen has always been unwilling to speculate.

Is Zhu Xiongying trying to change the organizational structure of the civil service group? This is a matter of different opinions and wisdom.Anyway, there are some civil servants who are not very happy, thinking that craftsmen and gentry can also enter and leave the court, and feel that this is a humiliation to the children of saints.

But thinking about the status of literati in the Mongol and Yuan Dynasties, and thinking about the strength of the present, even if you are unwilling, you can only admit it.

The wobbly Zhu Xiongying returned to the bedroom, looked around, "Where's Yin'er?"

"I fell asleep, and I guess it will take half an hour to wake up." Xu Miaoqing said to Zhu Xiongying with a smile, "The emperor's grandfather sent someone over, and the rewarding Fengchai, Ruyi, has arrived."

Zhu Xiongying nodded, and then said to Xu Miaoqing, "In a few days, my husband will assess his meritorious deeds. At that time, I will also call some nobles, civil and military family members. You can also help to see. Do things with your mind."

Xu Miaoqing understood, and asked with a light smile, "Your Highness, is there a list?"

This naturally refers to some key observation objects, whether it is to encourage or beat, there are some things that need to be paid attention to.

"No, you just hold a banquet for those wives." Zhu Xiongying didn't joke, and said seriously, "We just got married two years ago, and my father was still there. These two years have been different, and Yin'er has grown up a little bit. .This time, we just invited some kinder nobles and civil servants, and next time it will be a big banquet."

Xu Miaoqing was taken aback for a moment, then immediately said, "The concubine leads the order!"

After all, even if it is a woman, it seems decisive at this time.It's not good to be twitchy, because these things are the responsibilities that Xu Miaoqing should bear, and she naturally needs to work hard to do well.

After all, the four generations of the old Zhu's family, that is, Xu Miaoqing, was married by a Ming matchmaker.

Of course, there are four generations in the family. Even if Da Zhu passed away, his existence cannot be denied.That is Lao Zhu's eldest son, and Xiao Xiao Zhu's grandfather.

There are still many things to do, but Zhu Xiongying also thinks that there is no need to be too anxious, you can take a little rest, and you must not be too tired!
