Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 554 Balance Master
As an emperor, it can be said that Zhu Yunying has some self-knowledge.He is not the kind of person who likes not to go to the early court for decades, and the current Daming does not have such conditions to not go to the early court.

To put it simply, Emperor Jiajing did not go to court in history, but the Ming Dynasty was still running smoothly. Naturally, there are some personal abilities of Emperor Jiajing.In terms of tactics, Emperor Jiajing's skills are indeed admirable.

But there is also a cabinet system in the middle and late period of Ming Dynasty history, and the imperial power was actually weakened.

The emergence of a cabinet is not a problem. There was a cabinet when Zhu Di was in office, but it was just a senior secretary class.Even during the period of Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Zhanji, although the power of the cabinet continued to increase, it was not enough to wrestle with the imperial power.

But who gave up Zhu Qizhen, called the Son of Heaven, but completely ruined the elite frontier army of the Ming Dynasty, and even the noble group of the imperial court lost the right to speak at once, the status of civil servants soared rapidly, and the five-army governor's mansion began to exist in name only .

The current Ming Dynasty does not have such conditions. Whether the Ming Dynasty will continue to flourish or decline immediately depends on the emperor's personal ability and character.In the final analysis, after experiencing a series of centralization of power by Emperor Hongwu, the imperial power of the Ming Dynasty is supreme, and it can be said that no one can restrain it.

This is definitely not the best political situation. Once the emperor makes any movement, it may be that the country is in turmoil.

It's just that Zhu Yunying needs to centralize power now, he doesn't want to spend more time on the balance of the court, what he needs is to do more things that should be done, time is not waiting for me!
Under the service of the maids and eunuchs, Zhu Yunying changed into her regular clothes, and walked towards the Fengtian Hall without any haste. This was about to start a new day of work, which was the emperor's job.

Zhu Yunying, who was sitting on the dragon chair, listened to the reports from civil and military officials, basically there was no unexpected situation.As long as his officials perform their duties, Zhu Yunying doesn't need to worry so much for the time being, and everything seems to be relatively smooth.

Just as he was approaching the next court, Lian Zining left the class and said, "Let's play Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Han Wang and Shen Wang should perform the coronation ceremony."

This time, many civil and military officials are also excited, especially some civil officials, who are more concerned about this matter.

Han Wang Zhu Song is the No. 20 son of Lao Zhu, and he is now twenty years old.Shen Wang Zhu Mo is the son of Lao Zhu No.20.

Zhu Yunying was noncommittal, but this matter can indeed be 'handled'.In fact, Zhu Yunying did not perform the coronation ceremony, and Da Zhu did not perform the coronation ceremony before, and everyone was not particularly concerned and sensitive at that time.

To put it simply, at that time, either the country was initially settled, or it was a chaotic world, and many rules and etiquette were not perfect.So for some things, everyone really doesn't care and be sensitive.

What's more, Da Zhu and Xiao Zhu have special identities. In fact, many people don't pay much attention to whether they can do the coronation ceremony.

But it's different now, not to mention the prosperous world, but it does have a pretty good foundation.What's more, many people also understand that the Ming Dynasty has always wanted to restore the orthodoxy of the Han family. Both Emperor Hongwu and Emperor Yingshi attached great importance to it, so the Tian family naturally needed to pay attention to this matter.

In the early years, many imperial clans in the Ming Dynasty did not perform crowning ceremonies, and everyone did not take it seriously.Especially in the early years, after nearly a hundred years of Mongolian and Yuan rule, many traditions of the Han family were also discarded, but now it is time to find them back.

The crowning ceremony is held at the age of 20 for men, indicating adulthood.

In fact, it doesn't necessarily have to be twenty, and it's almost the same if it's around twenty.Adding a crown, which originated from the "Crown Ceremony" of the Zhou Dynasty, is an out-and-out event that cannot be treated carelessly.

Zhu Yunying thought for a while, and said, "The Ministry of Rites is making preparations, and the Clan's Mansion is in charge."

In fact, if Xiao Zhu hadn't been canonized as the crown prince long ago, everyone would have wanted to mention the position of the East Palace even more.This is actually a reminder to Zhu Yunying that His Royal Highness, the second son of the emperor, will soon be ten years old, and it is time to be canonized as a prince.

After being canonized as a prince, you can consider opening a mansion after a while. It is not suitable to have too many 'adult princes' in the palace.

Many civil and military officials are quite excited, especially those who are more traditional Confucian children, who are even more concerned about the emperor's restoration of Han family rituals.Now for Han Wang and Shen Wang to perform the coronation ceremony, in the eyes of many people, it is more meaningful than canonization of the prince.

In two years' time, King An and King Tang, in addition to the heirs of Emperor Hongwu, and Emperor Xiaokang's fourth son Heng Wang Zhu Yunxi, can also be crowned.

Now that the coronation ceremony was mentioned, Chen Di, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, came out of the class and said, "Your Majesty, the fourth son of the first emperor is also ten years old, and he should be canonized as king."

This is Da Zhu's fifth son, Zhu Yunxi, who is just ten years old.This kid also became an uncle right after he was born. Although he was Da Zhu's youngest son, he was also as old as Da Zhu's oldest grandson.

Without hesitation, Zhu Yunying said, "The Ministry of Rites and the Clan's Mansion will make preparations immediately. At the end of the year, I will perform the canonization ceremony for the emperor's younger brother."

In any case, this is Da Zhu's youngest son and Zhu Yunying's younger brother, which naturally means that Zhu Yunying needs to be taken care of.Even though Zhu Yunying didn't seem to like the three sons born by the Lu family very much, Zhu Yunying was the head of the clan after all, the emperor's brother sitting on the dragon chair, and he had to take care of these things as a matter of course.

Like it or not, it doesn't really matter that much, it really doesn't matter that much.

What's more, Zhu Yunying can even accommodate Zhu Yunqi, let alone Zhu Yunxi and Zhu Yunxi, he can definitely take care of these two little brothers, and he should really take care of these two little brothers.

The attitude of Emperor Yingshi made many civil and military officials feel relieved. In any case, Emperor Yingshi seemed not too close to Confucianism.However, Emperor Yingshi still attached great importance to the traditional secular etiquette today.

Even Emperor Yingshi had a lot of "deviants", but overall there was no problem.Furthermore, Emperor Yingshi attached great importance to restoring the orthodoxy of the Han family, and he was constantly repairing the torment of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty for a hundred years.

Now it is an absolute advantage to implement these policies in Jiangnan, where the style of writing is relatively strong.Even if the foreign race has been poisoned for a hundred years, the influence is still not light, but it must be compared with the north that has been ruled by the foreign race for hundreds of years.

In order for the Han people in the north to completely return to their hearts, this actually requires the efforts of at least two or three generations, so that they can completely return to their hearts, and only then can they fully recognize the identity of the Han people.

These are not trivial matters, Zhu Yunying understands them, and all civil and military officials also understand them.

The crowning ceremony is a little bit of effort, starting to implement some traditional etiquette of the Han family in a more formal and large-scale manner.Even if there were canonization or many de-Mongolian policies before, it was far from enough.

Daming also has a certain amount of capital now. The country is prosperous and strong, and the country is peaceful and the people are safe. Naturally, it can be considered that the warehouse is solid and the etiquette is known, and the food and clothing are sufficient to know the honor and disgrace. This is definitely a relatively suitable opportunity.

It was about to go down to court, but now the crowning ceremony for the prince has suddenly become the focus of attention.

According to tradition, the crowning ceremony is held in the ancestral temple, presided over by the father or elder brother, and the designated distinguished guests crown the young people who perform the crowning ceremony. Food in Xishu and other programs.

However, when the princes of the Ming Dynasty performed the coronation ceremony, there was obviously no way to completely follow some 'traditional etiquette'.

However, this kind of thing can't help the emperor and ministers of the Ming Dynasty, because the Ming Dynasty did not reduce the formulation of etiquette systems in the era of Lao Zhu.

Some follow traditions, or find some rituals and processes in ancient books.And sometimes, it is a slight improvement without violating the secular etiquette.

This is all very normal and naturally means that there is not much to worry about.

Zhu Yunying understood this truth, and all the princes of the Ming Dynasty also understood this truth.

The thorny question now is whether Lao Zhu, the Supreme Emperor, is willing to personally preside over the coronation ceremony for his two concubine sons.After all, Lao Zhu, an old-fashioned and old feudal man, although he loves his offspring, he generally doesn't pay much attention to the bastards.

Another one is that if King Han and the others preside over the crowning ceremony, Lao Zhu will be more or less worried that other heirs will not be happy.Even if those heirs are not happy, they can only complain in their hearts and dare not speak out.But Lao Zhu, he is well aware of many things, it is not easy to fool Lao Zhu.

If Lao Zhu was not happy, it would have been Da Zhu, but Da Zhu had passed away for several years.

If the "eldest brother" Zhu Wei who is still here is allowed to host, even if this is one of Lao Zhu's favorite heirs.But how should I put it, Han Wang and the others are also princes after all, and Zhu Xi is also a prince, which is a bit too much.

What's more, everyone knows that Lao Zhu has almost no relatives, and these descendants of Lao Zhu have no "respected elders", and there are almost no candidates for the ceremony.

These are all things that need to be considered, and these are also things that the emperor Zhu Yunying needs to nod, otherwise many people have no idea.

After all, this is not an ordinary coronation ceremony. If there is any omission in such a coronation ceremony, the whole world might laugh at it.For those who are a little bit above the line, this is simply against the etiquette system, and it is simply adding to the emperor's obstacles.

Ordinary people would not dare to do such a thing, otherwise it would not be embarrassing the emperor, it would be making themselves uncomfortable, and it would be betting the emperor's kindness with the lives of the whole family.

It's about etiquette, and it's not a small matter at all.After so many years, the Ming Dynasty is also constantly building some ritual systems.Some things have really seen results, and some things haven't really seen much payoff yet.

Zhu Yunying also knows that some things really cannot be rushed. This requires a relatively long-term planning, and it takes enough time to see a certain effect.Fortunately, Zhu Yunying is quite patient. The most important thing is that Zhu Yunying understands many things and really cannot be rushed.

Morning, this is also directly to the 'noon', but everyone is used to these things.

In fact, this is not bad. In the early days of Hongwu, the early dynasty was not enough.Facing an extremely diligent emperor, civil and military officials had to enter the palace before dawn, and they might not be able to return to the mansion at night.

There is really no need to make a fuss about these things. Since there is something to do, it naturally means that more time is needed to discuss government affairs. Everyone is used to these things.Really speaking, Emperor Yingshi is much better than Emperor Hongwu.

Zhu Yunying went straight to the Hall of Martial Heroes after the imperial court, had a simple lunch, and then began to review the memorials.

"Let Cao Guogong enter the palace." Zhu Yunying explained to Wang Chengen without raising his head, "We remember that your heir is also in Beijing, so let him wait outside. After Cao Guogong leaves the palace, he will go to Wuyuan with him."

Wang Chengen was so excited that he knelt on the ground and burst into tears of gratitude, "My servant thanked the emperor for his grace, this servant is a lowly person."

"Okay, we know what you mean." Zhu Yunying smiled and said to Wang Chengen, "You are one of us, and you have done your best these years. If you do things well, you will have incense in the future."

It is easy to understand why Wang Chengen is so grateful. Although he joined the 'Taisun Mansion' in his early years, the one sitting on the dragon chair is not supported by everyone.

Wang Chengen has been with Zhu Yunying for so many years, and his younger brother in his hometown adopted a heir under Wang Chengen's name, which can be regarded as giving Wang Chengen an incense, and after death, he is no longer a lonely ghost and a person who will never be born again.And now that His Majesty is willing to support his heir, how could Wang Chengen not be grateful.

There are some things that really need to be discussed with Li Jinglong, which can be regarded as about the construction of Wuyuan.In the long run, it could be regarded as related to the collective interests of the Xungui Group, which cannot be sloppy.

Wu Xun's status is still very high, naturally not only because the Ming Dynasty has just been founded for more than 30 years, Wu Xun's power has always been stronger than the civil servant group, this is also understandable, this is a normal court structure .

But anyone can see that the voice of the civil service group is getting louder and louder, and their status is indeed constantly improving.

This is something that everyone needs to admit, which means that the Wuxun Group cannot rest on the merits of their fathers and grandparents. The Wuxun Group also needs to work hard and maintain enough fresh blood. Climb to the head.

Zhu Yunying, who continued to review the memorial, didn't need to be distracted. Even if Li Jinglong came, he was just waiting for Zhu Yunying to finish his business, and Zhu Yunying didn't have time to be distracted and think about other things.

Although Zhu Yunying thinks he is not a "tea master", but he pays attention to things like balance, and he will never be careless.

Of course it is not good for civil servants to be too strong, and it is not good for Wu Xun to be stagnant. There needs to be a balance here, which requires the emperor to do these things well.
