Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 640 What to do
Lao Zhu's sharp knife cut through the mess, which would definitely save Zhu Yunying a lot of worry and trouble. He settled the affairs of the Minister of the Household Department and the prefect of Yingtianfu at once, without arguing in the court and so on.

In fact, if Zhu Yunying made the move by himself, there would definitely be no change in these candidates, but there would inevitably be some disputes in the court.

But now there is no problem. Emperor Hongwu presided over the early court, Ying said that the emperor's dragon body was ill, and no one wanted to make more troubles at this time.If there is trouble at this time, it will not only make Emperor Hongwu and Emperor Yingshi feel uncomfortable, but also make himself uncomfortable.

There are naturally no fools who can stand in the hall of the Ming Dynasty. Even if there are conflicts of ideas and policies at times, they are more sensitive to some things and know what to do and what not to do.

Of course, for the civil and military officials, the crown prince who was observing politics for the first time impressed them deeply, and many people also had more thoughts and ideas at this time.

It's not that they doubt Xiaoxiao Zhu's status, but many people have heard that the crown prince is favored by the emperor and the emperor, but they have also heard that the crown prince is playful and domineering.

Otherwise, he would not have directly whipped the former magistrate of Yingtianfu at the gate of the Yamen of Yingtianfu. In fact, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince could use other methods to deal with the former magistrate who broke the law and dereliction of duty, but he chose the most violent and direct method.

But looking at it now, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still very lenient. Compared with Emperor Hongwu and Emperor Yingshi, His Royal Highness seems to be more benevolent. This is an absolutely good thing.

Emperor Hongwu was so domineering and cruel in the past. Although Emperor Yingshi was better than Emperor Hongwu, the goodness was only limited.As for the crown prince now, if the crown prince continues to be so lenient after ascending to the Great Treasure, it will definitely be a blessing to all the officials.

The main reason is that the two emperors of the Ming Dynasty were too domineering. All civil and military officials now have a lot of psychological shadows, and they also know that it is not easy to be an official in the Ming Dynasty.

Little Zhu obviously didn't know about these things, so he said excitedly, "Father, let's follow what our great-grandfather told us, and reply to the court, and now many people will send us greetings!"

Old Zhu smiled and said to Zhu Yunying, "It was the same in the early years. The posts to send greetings to your father and you are all useless."

"It's also the emperor's grandpa's favor, so officials dare to act like this." Zhu Yunying laughed, and he knew these things well, "When we were watching politics in the early years, as long as we were not old, we would have to Say hello to us."

Isn't that the case? The emperor has clearly established the heir, and he will not object to the courtiers contacting the crown prince. If the officials pretend to be deaf and dumb at this time, it will not be a good thing.

It is said that contact between the crown prince and courtiers is a taboo, but it also depends on the situation.Once the emperor intends to cultivate wings for the crown prince, he should hurry up and join the East Palace.Even if you don't want to serve Donggong, you should show your support for Donggong. You can't be sloppy.

The current little Zhu probably also received these treatments.It's just that he won't have his own wings. At this stage, it's not necessary to let Xiao Zhu contact the court prematurely.

Just let him show his face, further deepen the impression of the officials on Xiao Zhu, and further confirm the status of Xiao Zhu, this is what Lao Zhu and Xiao Zhu are thinking.

Of course, this is also to enhance the prestige of little Zhu and promote the good reputation of little Zhu Kuanren.Although it seems a bit early, it is not a bad thing to do more of this kind of thing, and Lao Zhu and Xiao Zhu are naturally happy to see it succeed.

Looking at the happy little Zhu, Zhu Yunying said, "Tomorrow you will go to court with your great-grandfather, so you should talk less and listen more. If your great-grandfather mentions that we are tired, you can follow what we taught you."

Lao Zhu suddenly said with some emotion, "We have to go to court for several days, we have some thoughts. If we are not old, we really have to go to court a few more times."

Before Zhu Yunying opened his mouth, little Zhu said first, "That's impossible, we can't sleep well in the morning court. It's better not to go to the morning court. After the morning court, we will be groggy all day long, and we have no time to take a lunch break." Went to school."

Old Zhu touched Little Zhu's head, and said, "Then let's go to court for the last time tomorrow, and we won't go the day after tomorrow. Then we will take you to ride a horse, and we will teach you how to march. Your father can't learn it. We will teach you!"

Zhu Yunying was expressionless, got up and said, "Then let's go back and rest, and you should also rest earlier. Grandpa, we have also learned about marching and formation, and we are not bad at it!"

Old Zhu glanced at Zhu Yunying, and it was self-evident what that look meant.Even though Lao Zhu felt that his precious eldest grandson was very good, but he really didn't know what to say about the military affairs, so he simply didn't say anything at all.

Seeing that Zhu Yunying was about to leave, Old Zhu said, "Tomorrow is in court, and we will also settle the matter of Korea for you. Are you really asking Uncle Seventeen to go to Korea?"

Zhu Yunying nodded affirmatively, and said, "The seventeenth uncle is also suitable for the past. To be honest, there are quite a few of our emperor's uncles who can lead troops to fight. The second and third uncles are good, the fourth uncle is even more powerful, the sixth and seventh uncles They are all quite strong. Uncle Seventeen is also capable."

Lao Zhu nodded with a smile, and said, "It's not bad, your uncles know how to fight. Even your father is not bad. In the early years, we were afraid that we would be gone someday, so we taught your father how to fight. His ability, that is, when the world is settled, his ability to lead troops to fight will be ruined."

Zhu Yunying suddenly had some thoughts and said, "Then our father, like us, wants to govern the country, so he has no time to learn how to fight."

"You just have no talent, and you can't learn it." Old Zhu said unceremoniously, "Your cousin from Jiujiang is capable, and you can learn [-]% of it!"

Zhu Yunying was angry and left angrily.The example given by Lao Zhu is not good. Zhu Yunying has not learned all of Li Jinglong's skills, which is really frustrating.

Although Zhu Yunying also knew that Li Jinglong had solid theoretical knowledge and was familiar with military books and war strategies, he did have some skills.But in any case, it cannot be said that Zhu Yunying has not even learned Li Jinglong's ability to lead troops. This is too shocking!

Seeing Zhu Yunying leave, little Zhu said, "Great-grandfather, our father is really angry this time, we guess he won't come to say hello to you for two or three days."

"Let him go!" Old Zhu said, like an old child, "He was still caring to us when he was young, but he became less caring as he grew up. He coaxed us to give him the throne, and we didn't even bother to save face. We are white It hurts him!"

Little Zhu was grinning. He didn't intend to get involved in this matter. Little Zhu is not at an age where he doesn't know anything. He probably knows a lot of things now, and some family affairs are not suitable for him to get involved in.

At this time, it is better to choose to be wise and protect oneself, not to mention that Xiao Zhu felt that even if his great-grandfather and his father had a quarrel, it would be considered a 'trouble', and there was really no need to worry about other things.

In fact, Zhu Yunying also had the same thoughts, he was never obedient in front of Lao Zhu, even when he was a child, even if Zhu Yunying was coaxing Lao Zhu, but occasionally he deliberately went to make trouble in front of Lao Zhu, to give Lao Zhu Add to block.

Old Zhu obviously didn't dislike Xiao Zhu's actions. Perhaps it was because of children like Xiao Zhu and Xiao Xiao Zhu who were not afraid of him that Lao Zhu felt real affection, not just fear and longing for imperial power.

Zhu Yunying, who had returned to the Hall of Spring Harmony, teased Zhu Wenkun, and coaxed, "Hurry up and call us, and we will give you delicious food if you call."

Zhu Wenkun, who was sitting on the couch, looked at Zhu Yunying, shook his little arms happily, babbled for a while, and then began to drool. It was still a bit difficult for Zhu Wenkun to speak.

Looking at Zhu Wenkun's appearance, Zhu Yunying sighed, "It seems that we can only wait a little longer, you are just like your emperor brother, it's hard to speak, it's too late to learn how to speak."

Xu Miaoqing also came to the side at this time, and said softly, "Your Majesty, today the aunt and sister handed over the palace amulet, and want to enter the palace to ask for an audience. I feel that there are some things that should be known to the aunt and sister. Make them worry."

Zhu Yunying thought for a while, and said, "Let them come over tomorrow. Fortunately, the second child is out on business. Otherwise, the kid will be messed up, and he might even break into the palace. They know these things and they know it." , nothing serious."

Xu Miaoqing also breathed a sigh of relief, the emperor was pretending to be sick, and she, the queen, was actually having a hard time these few days, and she was also under a certain amount of pressure.

Apart from other things, the emperor's younger brothers and sisters would naturally be nervous, including some princes and concubines, who also wanted to enter the palace to ask for an audience.Including some wives of Wu Xun, they also want to enter the palace to seek an audience.

Although it was in the name of paying respects to the empress, everyone knew the real reason for their visit to the palace. After all, they wanted to inquire about the emperor's health.If you can't find out in the court, then you need to consider the wife's diplomacy.

As for pretending to be sick, Zhu Yunying thinks it's okay, it's not that he's afraid of getting into trouble, and he has some ideas of his own.

The arrangements of the Minister of the Household Department and the prefect of Yingtianfu are actually not worth mentioning. Zhu Yunying has already had his own ideas and candidates, and he is not worried that there will be too many obstacles in the court. These are actually small things.

Even including letting Ning Wang Zhuquan go to Korea, these things are nothing.Let's not talk about such a thing, Zhu Yunying has long been aware of it, and the civil and military or clan of the Manchu Dynasty also have some understanding of this.

At most, it is officially finalized now, and now everything is settled, and there is no need to guess or think about things such as operating it.

Everyone now has a bottom line in their hearts, and everyone now knows the emperor's decision, and that's enough.

In fact, what Zhu Yunying really cares about is still considering the cabinet affairs, which is also the real reason why Zhu Yunying pretended to be sick this time, and this is also what Zhu Yunying really wants to plan.

In Zhu Yunying's hands, the cabinet is definitely just a consultative body, and they are unlikely to have a chance to participate in the decision.These are the senior secretaries, just some of the emperor's advisers, and they don't have much power.

But the nature of the cabinet, and their proximity to the emperor, naturally means that once these people have the opportunity, they can gradually get in touch with some government affairs, and their status may become more and more prominent and their power will become greater and greater.

For Zhu Yunying, there is basically no problem, but there is no guarantee that in the hands of Zhu Yunying's descendants, the cabinet will become bigger.

Therefore, some restrictions must be given to the cabinet, instead of letting them override the six ministries as they did in history, and even have "power ministers".

Previously, the grades of the six ministers were raised, not only to check and balance the Wuxun Group, but also to prepare for the emergence of the current cabinet.Zhu Yunying's game of chess is actually relatively large.

And now after pretending to be sick, Zhu Yunying can use little Zhu to form a cabinet naturally, which is no problem.

However, Zhu Yunying did not recognize the legal status of the cabinet, which was also a shackle for the cabinet.

According to the rules established by Lao Zhu, such an organization as the cabinet cannot exist.Now that Zhu Yunying has created a cabinet, it naturally means that the cabinet is not regular. After all, Zhu Yunying cannot violate the ancestral system, let alone Lao Zhu is still there now.

It's not that Zhu Yunying took off his pants and farted, it's simply that Zhu Yunying thinks a lot, so he doesn't mind doing more things.

The same is true of the cabinet in history. Even if Zhu Di continued to delegate power to the cabinet after he ascended the throne, he would not dare to violate the ancestral system.These also made the cabinet progress slowly, and it has never been able to become a formal administrative organization at the central level.

Zhu Yunying is planning to do the same now. He can create a cabinet and give the cabinet certain power and status.But the particularity of the cabinet also means that Zhu Yunying has to prepare in advance and must continue to limit the development of the cabinet.

Zhu Yunying did these things with peace of mind. The main reason is that Zhu Yunying did such things a lot, so he felt somewhat handy. These could be regarded as one of Zhu Yunying's characteristics.

The emperor instinctively likes checks and balances, and he really likes restrictions on some sensitive institutions and yamen. This is obviously not a contradictory thing.

After doing some things that he should do, Zhu Yunying was in a good mood, and he did do a lot of things.Even if there is no one-and-done solution now, Zhu Yunying also knows that there is no one-and-done solution, but he has done some work to some extent.

These sincere things are not bad things, and Zhu Yunying doesn't think it's superfluous. He will do it now, and he will definitely continue to do it in the future. This is what Zhu Yunying thinks he should do.

Lao Zhu took Xiao Xiaozhu to continue to go to the morning court, and Xiao Zhu seemed to be able to sleep in, but he still had to continue reviewing the memorials.

Everyone should work together to make the Daming country better, and make the Daming country more stable.

These are also the responsibility of the descendants of the old Zhu family.
