Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 518 Recruitment
For Daming, it's really not a matter of putting swords and guns into Kuma and releasing Nanshan now. He hasn't danced and danced around to promote peace, drunken life and dream death.

In addition to the frontier army, the guards around also have some tasks.For example, suppressing bandits, or sending troops nearby to suppress some barbarian rebellions, etc. This is also one of the responsibilities of the guard.

But everyone can understand, especially some martial arts, they are even more aware that the strength and stability of the Ming Dynasty did make many people forget some things in the past.

For example, Zhang Wen, Marquis of Huining, who was punished before, is not the first honorable man to be corrupt and pervert the law.Not to mention the early days of the founding of the country, before the founding of the Ming Dynasty, some people got carried away and corrupted because they had some power.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, a group of people even rose up, thinking that they had made great achievements, or that they felt that the country was stable and they could start to enjoy it. There are many such people.

Founding heroes like Wu Xun began to degenerate, and there are actually quite a few such groups.And among the guards in various places, there are actually some not-so-good phenomena that have already appeared.

Many people say that the abolition of the Weisuo system began in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, and that the Weisuo system existed in name only in the late Ming Dynasty.The guard system at that time was indeed somewhat unreliable, and Lao Zhu's proud guard system was indeed hollowed out.

Lao Zhu used to be very proud, because 'I raise millions of soldiers, and don't waste a single grain of rice from the common people'.The Weisuo system of the Ming Dynasty was actually based on the experience of farming in China’s history.

It's just that now, some military households in some relatively stable guard stations in the interior, they have already become the tenants of those officers.

The fact that the officials of the guards invaded the fields of the army and the private soldiers cultivated them did not mean that such a situation only existed in the middle and late Ming Dynasty. It simply meant that as long as someone took power, they would benefit from it.At most, it is such a thing, after all, it is still rare, not the norm.

There have always been things like fleeing households. Not everyone wants to become a military household. Many people also think that the life of military households is too miserable, and fleeing from nationality is also a frequent occurrence.

Zhu Yunying naturally knows these things, so now she can pay attention to these things a little bit, and must pay attention to some supervision and changes.Even if the guard system is not the most perfect, it is indeed the most suitable for the current Daming.

Therefore, Zhu Yunying now has no idea of ​​abolishing the guard system at all. What he needs to do is to improve the guard system and fill in the gaps as much as possible.

The reason why Fu Zhong was asked to replace Xu Yingxu was because Zhu Yunying felt that Xu Yingxu's status was more suitable for patrolling the guard.

On the one hand, it was because of his trust in Xu Yingxu's ability, and on the other hand, it was also because of Xu Yingxu's identity. In fact, it did not rule out that Xu Yingxu's ability was indeed recognized by Zhu Yunying.

Xu Yingxu was Xu Da's son, and Xiao Zhu's uncle, so naturally there was no problem with Wu Xun.And little Zhu's uncle naturally needs to do things for the court in a down-to-earth manner, and to become one of the prince's strengths outside the court.

What's more, Xu Yingxu also had the experience of leading troops to fight, and he had made military exploits anyway.In the face of some arrogant soldiers, Xu Yingxu will be more confident, and he doesn't need to worry about being a showman like some second generations of Xun, who are strong on the outside and capable on the inside.

Compared with Xu Yingxu's qualifications, Fu Zhong's qualifications must be slightly inferior. It is better for Fu Zhong to follow Lao Zhu and Xiao Xiaozhu to experience a little bit.

After explaining these things, Zhu Yunying naturally has nothing to worry about, and the family banquet this time can be said to be relatively successful.

It's just that many people are very clear that such a family banquet is simply an appetizer.Now the army of the imperial court seems to be progressing smoothly in Koryo, but this is just the beginning. It is difficult to conquer the country, but it is even more difficult to govern the country.

Goryeo, that was obviously seen by Zhu Yunying. He sent the imperial army there, not just to 'promote the country's prestige'.He is unwilling to do thankless things, he just wants to get actual benefits, not a so-called false name.

Even Zhu Yunying's reputation can be completely ignored. As long as the Ming Dynasty can get enough benefits, Zhu Yunying's reputation can be completely discarded anytime and anywhere. This is Zhu Yunying's temperament.

Zhu Ruyi happily ran over and said, "Father, my aunt praised us today, saying that our handwriting is the most beautiful, better than that of my great-grandfather and grandpa, and my brother's handwriting is not as good as ours!"

Looking at her proud daughter, Zhu Yunying praised, "That's the reason. In our family, Ruyi'er's calligraphy is the most beautiful nowadays. Even if our Ruyi'er's calligraphy is beautiful, I can't help your brother with his homework, and you can't let him be lazy."

Lian Qiongqiong lowered her head, she really didn't know what to say, she didn't know that her daughter had done such a big thing.

As for Xu Miaoqing, who is pregnant with Liujia, she can't laugh or cry. She thought she knew her precious son well enough, but who would have thought that she would underestimate the naughty little Zhu. That kid's ability to coax and fool people can really be said Say wait.

Isn't this obvious? After careful investigation now, I found that many of Xiao Zhu's homework were actually done by Zhu Ruyi, and they were all coaxed by Xiao Zhu. Helping little Zhu with her homework.

Zhu Ruyi seemed a little embarrassed, and seemed to know that she was afraid, "Father, if we don't help the emperor with his homework, the emperor will not take us to play. The emperor brought us many good things. As long as the emperor leaves the palace, we will be happy." Bring us something nice."

This is really a good habit. It is extremely difficult for the clan children of the Ming Dynasty, especially the princes and princesses, to leave the palace before they reach adulthood.

That is to say, little Zhu has such treatment, and follows Lao Zhu out of the palace every now and then, which can be regarded as relatively broadening her horizons and making her younger brothers and sisters more envious.

"Ruyier, your imperial brother not only brought you fun things, he also rewarded you with a lot of good toys." Zhu Yunying said patiently, "Even if you don't give your imperial brother homework, He will also take you to play, you are his sister after all, your emperor brother still looks like an elder brother."

In this case, Zhu Yunying is more confident, and this can be regarded as something he is more proud of. Although Xiaoxiao Zhu has a lot of dark history, she still has a lot of merits, and she still has a lot to let Zhu Yunying felt a little proud.

Zhu Ruyi thought about it, and it seemed to be the same reason, "Dad, Geng'er's handwriting is the ugliest, and he also dislikes writing the most, and he cries when he writes!"

Zhu Yunying sighed silently, none of his sons really felt relieved.For the time being, little Zhu can be regarded as a qualified prince, and it can be regarded as making Zhu Yunying more proud and satisfied, and he can also have more expectations for little Zhu.

But for Zhu Wengeng, the second son of the emperor, Zhu Yunying knew that there was no way to expect more.As far as the behavior of the emperor's son is concerned, if nothing else, he is a "qualified prince", a kind of irritable and fearless dude.

Seeing that Zhu Yunying was suffering from a headache, Xu Miaoqing said with a smile, "Your Majesty, don't think about it too much. It's because the concubines have neglected to discipline them. When the concubines give birth to your majesty's heirs, the concubines will naturally discipline the prince and princess well."

After kissing Zhu Ruyi, Zhu Yunying said seriously, "This time, we still want you to add a daughter to us, which is considered a more considerate girl. The two boys make us worry. If there is another boy, we may not It's better, it's better to be a girl, and Ruyi is the best."

This made Zhu Ruyi a little unhappy, and put her arms around Zhu Yunying's neck and said, "Dad, it's best for the mother to have a younger brother. We are Dad's favorite daughter!"

Well, children often have some possessive desires.Although she has older brothers and younger brothers, Zhu Ruyi doesn't have any older sisters. She still hopes that her father and emperor will only have her as a precious daughter.

Xu Miaoqing actually hoped to add another prince to Zhu Yunying, which would be better for her status and for little Zhu.If it is possible, I will give birth to a princess for His Majesty in the future, and there is no need to rush for a while now.

Being with his wife and daughter, Zhu Yunying also felt more relaxed and happier. This was also a rare moment of relaxation for him, allowing him to temporarily relieve his tense nerves. After all, both inside and outside the court There are so many things in his mind that he can't be distracted.

After a little relaxation, Zhu Yunying also understood that he still had a lot of things to do, and he knew that he had to do more things well.And for many people, they are actually busy with their own affairs.

Zhu Huan is also relatively busy now. His main job now is to compile the Canon, and he is also looking forward to completing a great work under his auspices to highlight the country's prestige and benefit all generations.

The previous rough compilation made Zhu Wei dissatisfied, not to mention the demanding emperor was even more dissatisfied, which naturally meant that continued efforts were needed, and more manpower and material resources needed to be invested.

Now there is a great talent Xie Jin. For Xie Jin's talent, Zhu Wei is very appreciative, and Zhu Yunwen is also extremely respected. He feels that with Xie Jin's help, "The Canon of Filial Piety" will definitely become a masterpiece, which will definitely make the emperor Quite satisfied.

Just one Xie Jin and many supervisors, presidents, vice presidents, etc., this is not enough.It is not enough to just go through the collection of books in Wenyuan Pavilion, more classics and talents are needed.

Recruiting talents is a matter of course, and "Filial Piety" is also an out-and-out major event.In the eyes of many people, this is not only to benefit future generations and demonstrate the national prestige, but also a political task.

After all, the title of "The Great Canon of Filial Piety" can actually explain a lot of things.

This is Emperor Hongwu's nostalgia for his deceased eldest son, and this is also Emperor Yingshi's nostalgia for the former emperor.If this ceremony is not repaired well, many people will probably be punished and neglected for it. Whoever dares to be unsatisfied with this matter is disloyal and disfilial.

Zhu Yunwen was full of enthusiasm and said excitedly, "Uncle Wu, Wang Shuying recommended Yang Yu, a native of Taihe County, Ji'an Prefecture, as a historical talent."

Wang Shuying, this is also Fang Xiaoru's best friend.Although Zhu Yunying has never paid much attention to Fang Xiaoru.However, Zhu Yunying recognized some of Fang Xiaoru's abilities.

And Wang Shuying, even though he was "a raccoon dog on the same hill" with Fang Xiaoru at times, was also a troublesome rotten Confucian in Zhu Yunying.But generally speaking, Wang Shuying's thinking is more open-minded, pays attention to reality, and is good at summing up historical experience.Compared with those pedantic Song Confucians, Wang Shuying looks a bit like Han Confucians, and he is still practical.

Zhu Huan immediately became interested, and asked quickly, "Oh? If there is a great talent, why haven't we heard of it before? Which subject is he a Jinshi?"

It is quite normal for Zhu Wei to have such thoughts.After all, the Ming Dynasty has been founded for more than [-] years. Unlike the early days of the founding of the country, there were many white officials who were in the opposition. Now the Ming Dynasty also has a certain talent reserve.

Zhu Yunwen immediately explained, "Uncle Wu, Yang Yu's style name is Shiqi. He lost his father since he was young and traveled abroad. His mother remarried Luo Xing, who was then a co-prefect of De'an, so Yang Shiqi changed his surname to Luo. Yang Shiqi made clay statues to worship Yang's ancestors, but Luo Xing found out and praised his ambition, and restored his family name."

Hearing what Zhu Yunqi said, Zhu Wei became more interested, because Yang Yu's approach, not to mention correct in this era, will be recognized and respected by many people even hundreds of years later.

Here, the influence of Confucian culture can actually be seen, and many traditional ethics and morals are indeed deeply integrated into the genes of this nation and this land.

Zhu Yunwen continued, "Later, Luo Xing died because he offended the powerful and guarded the border. Yang Shiqi and his mother returned to De'an. He taught and took care of his mother at the same time. He traveled around the two lakes to teach. He was quite talented and famous, and he had many contacts with Wang Shuying."

In fact, Zhu Yunqi has a good relationship with Fang Xiaoru and others, probably because Zhu Yunqi, a "virtuous king", has become a traditional literati under the education of the Lu family since he was a child, and he is a child of orthodox Confucianism.Therefore, even if they don't seem to have much contact with people like Fang Xiaoru, they are still 'long friends'.

Zhu Wei didn't think too much about it, but said, "If this person is talented, it can be a sign. Let's make it a sign. If he is talented, he can recommend it to His Majesty."

Repairing books is an honor for many scholars.What's more, such a great work as "The Canon of Filial Piety" has attracted many literati.But the threshold is extremely high, and only top scholars have such opportunities.

Of course, this is also a stage of advancement. If you finish the book, you may be able to step into the court from a white dress. This is also a good way out.
