Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 327
As the emperor, Zhu Yunying is not only dealing with the affairs of state, he is also constantly learning and making progress.

Even if he is a traveler with 'long-term insight', Zhu Yunying has self-knowledge and knows that he still has many shortcomings, and he has never been complacent.

The academicians of the Imperial Academy were very excited. His Majesty mentioned the well field system before, which is a dream and an opportunity for many scholars in Mugu.If the world can be governed according to the Zhou Rites, it must be a great harmony in the world.

Obviously, many scholars think that what the sages said is correct, and they also think that the views of the sages are still valid today.

As for why the rulers of the past dynasties did not adopt it, they may think that the previous emperors were not wise enough, or that the scholars were for the harmony of the world, and those emperors did not have such ambitions.

In short, the sages must be right, and the views of the sages governing the world are all strategies for governing the world!

It's not okay to carry private goods. Zhu Yunying only needs these educated scholars to tell him some things about the Ida System, and he doesn't need these people to have too much personal insight and so on.

The noble Imperial Academy is full of scholars, and many of these people do not have the actual ability to handle politics.To put it simply, these people are all theoretical experts, basically they have not done too many practical things, and some idealism is normal.

The current Hanlin Academy is actually not much different from the previous dynasty.Basically, it started from the Tang Dynasty. It was a court enshrining institution. It housed talents in literature, classics, divination, medicine, monkhood, calligraphy and painting, and chess, and accompanied the emperor for banquets and entertainment.

It's just that after the late Tang Dynasty, it evolved into an important institution specializing in the drafting of confidential imperial edicts, and began to become a formal official position in the Song Dynasty, and was in line with the imperial examination.

The Hanlin Academy in the Ming Dynasty has not yet become a place for talent cultivation and hope. It is responsible for compiling books and writing history, drafting imperial edicts, reading for members of the royal family, and serving as an imperial examination examiner. There is no such thing as 'non-Hanlin not entering the cabinet'. After all, the current cabinet is the emperor's 'junior secretary' and has no rights yet.

But speaking of it, it is more or less concentrated among the elite of intellectuals, and their social status is superior.

Zhu Yunying didn't blame these people either, some Hanlin scholars just need to endure it, or polish it a little before releasing them as officials.These are all the best in the imperial examination, and they are quite capable.

"Look for some records made of salt and iron from previous dynasties." Zhu Yunying, who was reclining on the couch, squinted his eyes and said, "Since the Han Dynasty, a scholar of the Imperial Academy has come every day to give me lectures."

For Hanlin Shidu, this is naturally an opportunity.If it is better to read and lecture on the scriptures, or if there is a chance to have a good strategy when His Majesty asks, maybe you can be simple in the emperor's heart and become an important minister.

It takes a lot of hard work to go back, and only in this way can we better seize the opportunity. This is also a relatively rare opportunity for many noble Hanlin who are struggling in the Imperial Academy.

The monopoly of salt and iron began in the Spring and Autumn Period, and it was not just to restrict the development of industry and commerce.It is mainly the monopoly operation of salt and iron for the purpose of increasing fiscal revenue.

Although in the early Han Dynasty, there was also rule by doing nothing, implementing a recuperation policy, opening up private operations, and adopting a laissez-faire policy on salt and iron, making salt and iron businessmen richer than princes.However, most of the time, the monopoly of salt and iron was one of the important financial sources of the imperial court.

In fact, income from salt lessons has become the second largest source of finance for the imperial court after land taxes, and it is only normal that the imperial court attaches great importance to it.

After studying, Zhu Yunying drove back to the palace, and naturally heard that Fu Youde and others were arrested by Lao Zhu to cut rice.Zhu Yunying just smiled a little, but he should be lazy, he didn't want to cut the rice, it was too tiring to bend over.

Shuangquan walked up to Lao Zhu in small steps, and said, "The Supreme Emperor, Your Majesty has returned to the Hall of Harmony."

"We knew that little thing was lazy!" Old Zhu snorted coldly, and said angrily, "He was very diligent when he was young, but he became lazy as he grew up. We gave way to him, and he didn't even bother to put on an appearance, what a jerk! "

Shuangquan lowered his head and didn't speak, Zhu Sui and other princes could only slander when they heard it: The emperor's nephew is so unfilial, the emperor asked him to abdicate, the son is pure filial piety!
"Don't imitate your father, your father is sure about us!" Little Zhu who was picked up to play with the rice, Old Zhu whispered softly, "This is food, something that can survive, you can't play with it! Yin'er was also tired all day Now, let me take you to take a bath and get some food?"

Little Zhu put her arms around Old Zhu's neck, and said in a childish voice, "Grandfather, daddy also takes a bath, daddy is the most tired!"

"Cheng Chengcheng, let's ask him to come over and take a bath together." He whispered softly to little Zhu, but Lao Zhu looked at the other sons sternly in a flash, "If this little land can't finish the harvest today, you don't go out of the palace either. , put it away for us overnight, when will it be put away and when will you get out!"

Shuangquan hurriedly brought the pony, and Lao Zhu cheerfully hugged Xiao Zhu on the horse's back.Seeing Little Zhu holding the saddle, Old Zhu happily led the rein and walked ahead. Shuangquan and the others naturally guarded Little Zhu's sides for fear that he would fall off.

Zhu Yunying who returned to the East Palace was in a good mood, and said to Xu Miaoqing, "It will be Father's birthday in a few days, you should pay more attention to it as a daughter-in-law."

Xu Miaoqing naturally knew it, and assured her with confidence, "Your Majesty, rest assured, the ministers and concubines will take the lead, and there will be no omissions."

Although Da Zhu is gone, his birthday and death are important events, so we can't be careless.Including Zhu Yunying's mother, Chang's, and the birthday and death of Empress Ma, these are major events, and Xu Miaoqing must handle them well.

As for Zhu Yunying's or Lao Zhu's birthday, that is a major event in the country, and it is not easy for Xu Miaoqing to intervene in these matters.Even including Xiao Zhu's birthday, it must follow the rules, and it is the most normal thing for all officials to pay their respects.

Wang Chengen came over with small steps, and said, "My lord, the Supreme Emperor sent a decree to let His Majesty pass. It is said that His Highness the Crown Prince has been exhausted all day, and he is asked to take a bath to relieve fatigue."

Zhu Yunying is happy, he likes this activity, "Okay, let's go. Miaoqing, you are also ready to prepare, just prepare some dinner here. Just prepare some favorite food of Grandpa Huang and Yin'er, and let's take a bath. come over."

Xu Miaoqing did not obey Zhu Yunying's advice in everything, and said, "Your Majesty, autumn is a bit cold in the morning and evening. It's better to go to the emperor's grandfather. It's not good for the emperor and Yin'er to catch the cold. After eating, the concubine Come back with His Majesty."

"You, you still don't understand us!" Zhu Yunying pointed to Xu Miaoqing, and said angrily, "After eating here, Yin'er rests here, and we take him to rest."

Although heartbroken, Xu Miaoqing still didn't want her precious son to catch a cold.It doesn't matter if you are a little tired, and it doesn't matter if you have some small grievances.What's more, Xu Miaoqing had quite a lot of time with her precious son who ran around during the day, even the little prince had some homework now.

When they arrived at Qianqing Palace, Zhu Yunying went straight to the 'bathroom', and heard little Zhu's happy laughter before entering the entrance of the hall.

The eunuch and maid helped Zhu Yunying take off his clothes, Zhu Yunying walked into the warm bath with a smile.Little Zhu stood on the bank of the bathing pool, the chubby little guy waved his little arms, and then jumped into the water all at once.

Old Zhu hugged Xiao Zhu happily, and said happily, "Let's take Yin'er to go paddling next summer. We liked paddling when we were young. Do you still remember the small ditch in our hometown?"

Little Zhu shook his head very disrespectfully. Although Old Zhu took him back to his hometown once, but the child is very forgetful. Little Zhu has almost no impression of his hometown. He only remembers that his great-grandfather took him to ride a bull. up.

"My grandson doesn't know how to paddle, and the grandpa didn't say to teach us." Zhu Yunying complained a little, and said, "When we were young, when we went to the water, either the grandma or the grandpa would scold us. Did he go paddling?"

Old Zhu was not unhappy at all, hugged Xiao Zhu and said, "We have resigned, and we will help you take care of the children all day long. If you want to paddle, come to us next summer, and we will teach you again!"

Looking at Lao Zhu, Zhu Yunying said with a smile, "Grandpa Huang, we think you are very good now. Help us take care of Yin'er, and help us deal with political affairs when you are free. You are in good health. Let's see that Grandpa Huang is more energetic than you are. The first two years were much better, Grandpa Huang might be able to see Yin'er get married and have children."

Old Zhu was stunned for a moment, then patted little Zhu on the buttocks and said, "Ever since your grandma left, we feel lonely. Your father was gone two years ago, and we feel that life is meaningless. If it weren't for I can't let go of you and Jiangshan, so we'll follow along. This year will be fine, we won't go to court, and we'll bring this hozen with us all day long, and sleep soundly, so we may really live for a few more years."

Zhu Yunying couldn't help laughing. He felt that with Lao Zhu's physical fitness and his current physical condition, it was really possible to live a few more years.After all, the current Lao Zhu should be a little more comfortable than in history.

The most beloved eldest grandson is still there, and Daming's country is also stable.Now that he brings his great-grandson with him all day long, Lao Zhu doesn't want to die so much, and feels that this day is a little rushed.

"Today Fu Youde came to sue, saying that you want to change the system of the guard." Old Zhu laughed cheerfully, looking like an old urchin, "We will push him back, we are too emperor, do nothing, do nothing! If there is something, let him talk to the emperor!"

Zhu Yunying was also cheerful, and said quite proudly, "Fu Youde is still too straightforward, only the grandpa of the emperor can tolerate him."

"We can't make it, those old brothers of ours have left a lot, and we will have to make amends when we go down." Old Zhu said cheerfully, nonchalantly, "You are still good, just as tolerant as your father. You keep the useful ones, and let us take the useless ones with him."

Let's not talk about these things, let's continue to talk about the guard system, or talk about some of Zhu Yunying's reform plans.Old Zhu who abdicated is still very interested in these things.
