Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 664
For the wise and mighty Emperor Yingshi, the Ming Dynasty as a whole was thriving, and the Ming Dynasty became stronger and stronger.

This is undoubtedly good news, it can give him a certain amount of capital to do something he wants to do, and it can give him enough confidence to create a prosperous world!
There may be Zhu Yunying's diligence and hard work, but Zhu Yunying is more aware that it is the credit of Lao Zhu and Da Zhu.

This is not flattery. When Lao Zhu first established his country, the Ming Dynasty was a waste of time, but after 30 years of hard work by Lao Zhu and Da Zhu, the Ming Dynasty still had the capital to allow Zhu Di to make several Northern Expeditions and downs after experiencing internal strife. Nanyang!
Because of Zhu Yunying's existence, there would naturally be no internal strife, and also because of Zhu Yunying's existence, he used troops against Japan and Korea successively, which cost the Ming Dynasty a lot of money and food.What's more, when Zhu Yunying ascended the throne, Ming immediately sent troops to conquer Tatars.

This is a bit different from the Ming Dynasty when the country was just founded. The continuous use of troops in those days was basically to suppress the rebellion and eliminate the separatist forces.But now, there is no war in the Ming Dynasty, so they will continue to use troops abroad.

Although the consumption is indeed not small, the Ming Dynasty does not need to worry about being overwhelmed at all, and Zhu Yunying does not need to worry about the reputation of being militaristic for the time being.

So Zhu Yunying still admires Lao Zhu very much. Lao Zhu not only knows how to conquer the world, but also manages the country with his hands.If it weren't for Lao Zhu's good foundation, Zhu Yunying wouldn't have the capital to make troubles now.

But for some of his own performance, Zhu Yunying doesn't need to underestimate himself.He is indeed inferior to Lao Zhu in many things, but Zhu Yunying thinks that he has some vision and some arrangements, which Lao Zhu cannot do.

Jiang Yu came to the Wuying Hall again, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty Qizuo, there are eleven iron cannons in Datong Mansion that have not been verified."

Zhu Yunying was rather annoyed, and said, "Okay, now even the firearms are taken away without knowing why. It seems that these corrupt officials are really not afraid of death. Yes, I will help them!"

Jiang Yu's head is getting lower and lower, and Jiang Yu, who is almost prostrate in the field, is very clear about the character of today.It is said that Emperor Hongwu was harsh to all officials, but Jiang Yu knew that if Emperor Yingshi became ruthless, he would be no less than Emperor Hongwu, and it would be even more frightening if Emperor Yingshi wanted to kill people.

However, Jiang Yu also felt that some people were not afraid of death. Emperor Hongwu dealt with corrupt officials so severely, and naturally it could not change many officials who were corrupt and bribed, and exploited the common people.

Governing officials again and again will not change the fact that some officials have some power in their hands. They are always greedy for profit.

The administration of officials cannot be relaxed at any time. This was the case in the past, and it should be the case now.

Zhu Yunying has actually discovered the signs of bad things. It can be said that after 25 years of Hongwu, the administration of officials has become a little messy.Especially after Zhu Yunying ascended the throne, many officials became bolder.

Lao Zhu's iron blood and ruthlessness made the corruption in the Yuan Dynasty better for a while, but power and desire can never be harmonious, especially those officials are unscrupulous, and it is not surprising that the wind of fraud has revived again.

At the beginning of the year, Zhu Yunying thought about thoroughly rectifying the administration of officials, and the imperial court seemed to have slightly strengthened the emphasis on rectifying the administration of officials.

But now it seems that Zhu Yunying has not done enough work. Perhaps in this person's eyes, what Emperor Yingshi did is just repeating the same old tune.Or some officials think that the thunder is loud and the rain is light, and it will be over if they just fool around.

If it really doesn't work, throw out a few small shrimps and it's over. Give the emperor an explanation, and the matter will be over.After all, it was Emperor Yingshi sitting on the dragon chair, not Emperor Hongwu who couldn't rub his eyes.

Check, Zhu Yunying must check this matter carefully.

This is not just a simple matter of corruption, maybe there is also smuggling, or understanding of different races.This is not a small matter, and Zhu Yunying will never allow it.

Although the eleven lost cannons were only iron cannons, they were products of the early years and were to be replaced and destroyed.But anyway, things like firearms are sensitive.

Furthermore, the Ming Dynasty had relatively strict management of ironware, and there were strict restrictions on the sale of ordinary ironware outside the Ming Dynasty.Fortunately, this is not an ordinary sword, let alone a big iron pot, a strategic material of the Ming Dynasty, this is an iron tool!
There are some things that Zhu Yunying can turn a blind eye to or close one eye, he knows the truth that when the water is clear, there will be no fish.But there are some things that Zhu Yunying will never tolerate, and he will deal the most severe blow.

The disappearance of the firearm was unclear, which also shows that not only ordinary local officials were involved, but this is bound to be a case, and there must be many officials involved.If there is no accident, it will definitely involve some important officials above the court.

Ordering Jiang Yu to thoroughly investigate the case, it is obvious that Zhu Yunying is also murderous, this matter must be ruthless and decisive!

Jiang Yu was also very excited. If the emperor's minions like him lose their usefulness, it means that the time of death is not far away.Being able to investigate such a major case naturally means the emperor's trust.

After Jiang Yu left, Zhu Yunying couldn't help thinking about it.Could the eleven artillery pieces lost in Datong Mansion be related to the Xungui smuggling case that was under investigation?

If it was really related, it would be astonishing. This martial artist even dared to transport firearms out. This is not only disregarding the king's favor, but also ignoring the court's laws and regulations. This is really lawless!

This unhealthy trend must be cured properly, Zhu Yunying can't continue to let this kind of thing happen.This is no longer just a small problem. Even the unexplainable loss of firearms is enough to show the lawlessness of some people.

Zhu Yunying, who was not very happy, returned to the Hall of Spring Harmony after a day's work. Seeing Zhu Yunying, Zhu Wenkun immediately smiled happily at Zhu Yunying.This chubby boy is really cute, and now he is slowly recognizing people.

Zhu Wenkun, who stood up unsteadily, opened his hands anxiously, but he dared not take the first step.There is still a certain difference between being able to stand up and being able to walk, and Zhu Wenkun is not very courageous.

Seeing Zhu Yunying teasing his youngest son, Xu Miaoqing could only come to add to the trouble, "Your Majesty, the Dongou Palace is here to cry and beg again."

Tang He, Lao Zhu's good brother, is also one of the founding heroes of the Ming Dynasty.It is considered to be the end of life, but Tang He, who made great achievements in the early years, and his descendants died early one after another, so that there is no one in the line of the famous Dongou King to inherit the title.

Zhu Yunying lightly bit the flesh on Zhu Wenkun's face, and said, "Then what can we do? He doesn't even have a son on his side, so how can the royal title be granted lightly?"

Xu Miaoqing naturally understood this truth. The problem with Tang He's lineage is that there are always people and they always die young.Therefore, it is impossible to wait for the imperial court to award the title, and it is not easy to give it to the side branch. This is the most terrible thing.

Tang He and Xu Da are Lao Zhu's younger siblings, and Lao Zhu really trusts these two.Whether it was Xu Da's descendants or Tang He's descendants, Lao Zhu did not plan to deal with it, and Zhu Yunying did not intend to find a reason to deprive him of the title.

But from the standpoint of the imperial court, many things cannot be done as one likes. The imperial court has its own laws and regulations, and many things must be done according to the rules of the imperial court. The laws and regulations must not be broken.

Xu Miaoqing also understood this truth, so she said, "The concubine has nothing to do. The king of Dongou has a good relationship with his father, and the concubine is now the queen. They also feel that the concubine can help decide many things."

Zhu Yunying nodded slightly, and said, "We must reserve the title of the King of Dongou for them. It's just that everyone on the side of the King of Dongou can stand in the court and can't go to the Five Armies Commander's Mansion to serve. thing."

No one denies Tang He's credit. Zhu Yunying also met Tang He in the early years, and felt that Tang He who retreated bravely was indeed a smart person.Even when Tang He passed away, Zhu Yunying wrote a sacrificial article in the attitude of a junior.

That made many nobles in Huaixi tearfully grateful, and none of them were afraid of Lao Zhu's anger and insisted on sending the eldest son and eldest grandson of the mansion to serve in the Taisun mansion.

It has been a long time since Tang He passed away, and his eldest son and grandson died early, so that Tang He's political legacy became less and less.If this continues, even if one day Tang He's title is inherited, he will probably only become one of the insignificant nobles.

Thinking of something, Zhu Yunying said, "We remember that the eldest daughter of King Dongou was married to Marquis Deqing. Now that Marquis Deqing is gone, she should also take charge of the family style. Wu Xun's family has been messing with civil servants all day long. It's nothing to do together."

Xu Miaoqing lowered her head, as if she had realized something.

Tang He's eldest daughter married Liao Yongzhong's son Liao Quan. After Liao Quan died of illness, it is said that Liao Yong inherited the title.

But this one is not interested in the defense and the governor, and he and his younger brother circle around their mentor Fang Xiaoru all day long.

That Fang Xiaoru often said bad things about Emperor Yingshi. He felt that his talents were underappreciated, that His Majesty should reuse Confucian officials, that His Majesty should go to the Confucian Temple to offer sacrifices, restore the treatment of the head of civil officials of Yansheng Gong, and so on.

In other words, the series of performances of Emperor Yingshi before and after his accession to the throne were actually disapproved by the great Confucianist Fang Xiaoru, and he often gave memorials or offered advice to the students in the Imperial College.

Of course, Fang Xiaoru and Xu Wang Zhu Yunqi have always been close, and they have always been able to talk.Including Hongwu Huiyuan Huang Zicheng in the 18th year, and Hongwu Yingtianfu Jieyuan Qitai in the 17th year.
These nerds also feel that their talents are underappreciated, and their ambitions may be in vain!
Xu Miaoqing nodded, and it seemed that she was going to tell Tang's sister that the family style of Deqinghou Mansion was going to be rectified.Liao Yongzhong died because of trespassing back then, and the Marquis of Deqing should learn his lesson, and there should be no more foolish things.

After saying a few words, Zhu Yunying asked again, "Did Yin'er get a soldier talisman from Grandpa Huang?"

Xu Miaoqing was a little embarrassed, and said embarrassingly, "Yin'er sent someone back, saying that the emperor's grandpa beat him. What the emperor means is that if you really want the military talisman, your majesty has to go in person."

Zhu Yunying is not stupid, he will definitely be scolded when he goes, but little Zhu will not be scolded, old Zhu must understand that little Zhu is just a cute white, fat and cute chess piece, and old Zhu is not willing to deal with it.

Zhu Yunying said angrily, "Grandpa Huang is really, we hold all the soldiers and horses in the world, but he holds some dark guards who can't see the light. Here we are, many things are still handled by those people Get up strong."

Xu Miaoqing has a sense of proportion, the emperor can complain, but the queen can't agree.Xu Miaoqing has always been very clear about this truth.

Teasing Zhu Wenkun, Zhu Yunying said, "It's a cliché, our second child's bastard, we didn't teach well, so I can't blame others. It's just that you should take care of the other clans of our Zhu family. When you are young, there are not so many things. And those martial arts, you have to take care of those who are of the right age!"

Xu Miaoqing got up immediately, then knelt down, "The concubine is guilty!"

Zhu Yunying nodded lightly and said, "It's good to know what to do. You are the queen of the world, and we can't take care of everything. There are many things that you should do or have to do. Don't just think about teaching Well, Yin'er will be done."

Xu Miaoqing naturally pleaded guilty again, she is not Queen Ma, she takes care of all internal and external affairs as a matter of course, she still only thinks about her own duty.But obviously, Emperor Yingshi felt that Xu Miaoqing hadn't done well enough and hadn't fulfilled his duties as a queen, so it was obviously not going to happen.

Since Zhu Yunying was willing to make the cabinet start to decentralize power, he was naturally willing to let his first wife do something suitable for her status.The queen is not a decoration, nor can she just think about her status and command the six palaces. The queen also has other responsibilities.

It is a good thing for Xu Miaoqing to abide by his duty, but sometimes he should be more active.

While Zhu Yunying and Xu Miaoqing were talking, little Zhu came back, "Father, our great-grandfather asked us to ask you, you are thinking about leaving the last of your great-grandfather, what is there to do?"

"Children, there are so many things!" Zhu Yunying said angrily, "Stay here and talk to your mother. What kind of virtues do those companions in front of you study? Tell your mother, she will be easy to discipline."

Little Zhu was unhappy, and muttered, "You whispered to your great-grandfather again, can't we all listen?"

"Not now, we'll tell you when you grow up." Zhu Yunying stood up with a smile, and said, "Don't be tempted to avoid embarrassing your mother. Your great-grandfather spoiled you, and he was not lenient when punishing your mother. "

Little Zhu nodded obediently, and he understood some things in his heart.Even if I was curious, it seemed that I couldn't attend this time.

You can't let little Zhu listen in. Zhu Yunying doesn't shy away from little Zhu about some things, but little Zhu is young, so it's better not to let him get in touch with dark and bloody things too early, that's not a good thing.
