Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 521
The little brother Zhu Yunxie is still very reliable, he knows how to act coquettishly, knows how to use his identity to take care of the emperor as much as possible.

After all, Grandpa Huang has not come back after he went out for inspection, and all the affairs of the court fall on Brother Huang's shoulders.

This is another war, rectification of officials, promotion of banks, expansion of the fleet, development of some areas, and these things are continuing.What's more, in the court, from time to time there are some officials' struggles and so on.

Things are really complicated, Zhu Yunxi feels a headache when he thinks about it, and wants to run away when he thinks about it.But these things, the emperor can't ignore them, they are all things that must be done well.

It's better to obediently be a wealthy prince, which is also Zhu Yunxi's ambition.

"Brother Huang, our trip this time is much better than when we went to the north a few years ago." Zhu Yunxie said enthusiastically, "We were in Yangzhou that year, and Yangzhou seemed to be prosperous, but in the end it was a poor foundation. .”

Zhu Yunying nodded and said, "It was less than 20 years after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and Yangzhou was considered prosperous at that time. That is to say, it has experienced violent yuan and warlord separatism, otherwise Yangzhou is a gentle hometown for many people."

"When we ran all the way to Qingzhou that year, what we saw on the way was the desolation of the people's livelihood. We also saw a lot on the way. People in the North really don't recognize the Han people." Zhu Yunxi continued to complain, "When we ran to Beiping, it was better. What is the difference between a Han Chinese and a barbarian?"

Zhu Yunying said with a smile, "So I don't understand why we moved the capital to Beiping?"

Zhu Yunxi didn't hide it, and said, "Yes, we don't understand. Although Chang'an is not good, Kaifeng is not good, and it can't be found in other places? But it is Peiping. We didn't want to go to Beiping at that time."

"You don't want to go to Beiping now. In a few years we will move the capital to Beiping, so you should be in Yingtian Mansion." Zhu Yunying said angrily, "If we are not here, you will be like a wild horse. Your second sister doesn't want to either. In the past, we were more at ease."

Zhu Yunying had no choice but to take care of his younger brothers and sisters.But when it comes to younger siblings, none of them want to go to Peking.

It seems that when the capital was first established, Zhu Yunying shouldn't have cared about the princess mansion and prince mansion near the imperial city, and just focused on whether Meishan had crooked neck trees.Fortunately, the repaired Prince's Mansion and Princess Mansion are probably 'unusable', and they all want to stay in the bustling Yingtian Mansion.

Zhu Yunying continued, "We also know that there are many inconveniences in Beiping, but there is nothing we can do about it. There are only a few places in the world that can build capitals, and what we want is to win the hearts of the people. How many Han people are there in the North? It has been ruled by foreign races for a hundred years, and even our Daming has been around for thirty years now, and we can't change it."

This is also something that can't be helped, even if Beiping has already been built, some things to move the capital have slowly started.But even so, not to mention Beiping, in fact, in the places north of the Yellow River, many people still don't care about Han Chinese blood in their bones.

It is a norm for many Han people in the north to wear their left lapels.The dress code of the Han people is to live right and die left, and to tie their hair. They don't care or understand it at all, because many people think that they have been like this since they were young, and even their ancestors were like this.

Zhu Yunxi nodded repeatedly, and said, "We heard that in this subject, it seems that there are not many talented people in the northern list? It's not good that all the officials are from the south. The style of writing in the north is indeed not strong."

If it weren't for the two rankings in the north and the south, it would be too difficult for students in the north to get titles in the gold rankings.Although it seems unfair to students from the south, there is nothing to do about it. After all, there will be 'regional protection' even in the future.Zhu Yunying, the emperor, also needs to consider the whole world, not just southerners as officials.

Zhu Yunxi laughed and said, "We have also seen a lot of caravans going to the Northland and a lot of people from the Northland during our journey. To be honest, it is better than the last time we went to Beiping. You know they are all our Daming citizens."

Zhu Yunying also laughed, and said proudly, "After all, it's a generation, and it's time to know that they are the people of our Daming."

This can be a reason for Zhu Yunying's pride. The Ming Dynasty has been established for more than [-] years, and it has achieved certain results.Not to mention the return of all people, at least such a stable regime and a peaceful environment make the old people who have experienced wars still obsessed.And those young people who grew up also began to have more vitality.

Zhu Yunxi continued, "When we went out this time, we saw a lot of rich ladies going out for an outing in the city. We looked around, and there were a few who didn't have their feet bound. On the other side of Yangzhou, there were still some arty rotten scholars who wanted to bind their feet in the brothels. "

Zhu Yunying was speechless, and said angrily, "When you go out, you just stare at the woman's feet? Just run into the brothel?"

"Listen to the music, listen to the music, let's listen to the music when we go there." Zhu Yunxie said quickly, "We, we have never experienced anything, and we don't like vulgar fans. Brother Huang, let's talk, you should also take care of it Never mind, we've seen Wu Xun go to Goulan a lot, and now many civil servants are also going."

It was absolutely forbidden in the Ming Dynasty for officials to engage in prostitution.

In fact, at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, there was no strict prohibition on official sex with prostitutes.Therefore, many officials do often go in and out of brothel painting boats, fireworks and willow alleys.Ruanrou Township is a tomb of heroes, and the prevalence of prostitution in officialdom is not a sign of a prosperous age, but it is a manifestation of the gradual relaxation of the government and the arrogance and corruption of officials.

Zhu Yunying, who was stunned for a moment, said, "We know, it seems that we should rectify the administration of officials."

How long has it been? Nowadays, there are many bad customs in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty.The strict laws and regulations during the Hongwu Dynasty made some officials tremble, but this still did not stop some officials from corrupting the law and being extravagant and lustful.

Now in the Yingshi Dynasty, these people seem to be more confident, and they seem to know that Emperor Yingshi is not as strict as Emperor Hongwu.

Thinking of something, Zhu Yunying quickly asked, "Since you always go in and out of brothels, tell me about those sons, what do you think about the matter of binding feet now?"

"Brother Huang, don't want to defile people's innocence." Zhu Yunxie said hastily, "In addition to welcoming and sending off, we seldom go to the brothel to draw boats."

After Zhu Yunying glared, Zhu Yunxie said, "We have a lot of friends. One of our friends has heard that some rich men don't seem to like bound feet very much. Some people are not optimistic about the natural feet. They like those who have slightly repaired feet." of."

In fact, in the Song Dynasty, and even the Yuan Dynasty, it was not the so-called three-inch golden lotus, and many foot bindings were also "foot repairs".

Zhu Yunxi continued, "We have another friend drinking in the brothel, and now many prostitutes are not bound enough. It is often said that our royal family took the lead, and many people said that we do not recognize our ancestors."

Zhu Yunying said angrily, "Old ancestor? Since when is Zhu Xi the ancestor of our old Zhu family?! The next time you meet these people, you can call us. Don't care which family they belong to!"

"That's right, we don't look down on those rotten Confucians, who know what they know every day." Zhu Yunxi said with a smile, "It's better for people from the Ministry of Engineering to do things. We heard that at the other end of the academy, it seems that there are still divisions. There are those who specialize in farming."

Many scholars think that Emperor Yingshi is not even as good as Emperor Hongwu. Perhaps this can be regarded as a shortcoming of Emperor Yingshi.

Although Lao Zhu seemed to be suppressing Confucian students in every possible way at the beginning, he wanted to move Mencius out of the Confucian Temple and revise "Mencius".

But at any rate, as soon as the edict came out, there was an uproar between the government and the public, and everyone cried and made noises, as if they were going to a funeral at home.In the end, Lao Zhu withdrew his fate, and still gave Confucius enough face, or gave the scholar face.

But as for Emperor Yingshi, Yan Shenggong had bad morals, and there were a lot of dirty things in the Confucian mansion. Emperor Yingshi even publicized the problem of Yan Shenggong's lineage inheritance with great fanfare, and various things that worked for and persuaded foreigners.

In fact, people who don't study may not know those things, but Emperor Yingshi has stirred up an uproar in the government and the public, and Yan Shenggong's lineage is really not decent now, and there is no way to become a role model for scholars.

The most important thing is the officials. No matter how bad Emperor Hongwu was to Confucianism, the officials were still scholars and children of Confucianism.But on Emperor Yingshi's side, it can be said that the heroes don't ask where they come from, and they even train some officials themselves. The Ministry of Engineering is a representative.

Even though it seems to be cultivating some cadres and low-level officials to do things now, this should be the basic set of scholars.

It took Zhu Yunying almost an hour to eat and drink with his little brother, mainly because he wanted to end it several times.The result was Zhu Yunxie's various gags, and Zhu Yunxie actually slowly saw the clues.

Glancing at Wang Chengen, Zhu Yunying said, "Go back, we're a little sleepy now, and we're going to take a nap."

Zhu Yunxi said with a smile, "That's just right, we're sleepy too. We don't lie on the dragon couch, we just let our big companion set up a shop. Brother Huang, we don't snore."

Seeing Zhu Yunying shaking his head, Zhu Yunxie hurriedly said, "Brother Huang, Grandpa Huang just doesn't want to see us any more. If we write a letter, Grandpa Huang will read it too. If Grandpa Huang knows that Brother Huang doesn't cherish his body like this, he might want to chase him away immediately." When you come back, don't make Grandpa Huang tired."

"Cheng Chengcheng, let's take a nap now." Zhu Yunying said angrily, "When you were young, we let you take a nap, and you sneaked away after we fell asleep. Now it's really a feng shui turn, let's sleep If you don’t sleep, you still need to watch.”

Zhu Yunxi didn't care too much, and said, "Brother, bring some melons and fruits, let's take a rest after eating."

It is right to work hard, but when it is time to take care of your body, you should also take a good rest.Or go to take a nap, which is also very good.
