Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 670 Can't be in a hurry

As the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yunying can be said to be very busy. The end of the noisy early morning does not mean that the day's work has been completed. It can also be said that the day's work has just begun.

This is normal, the emperor obviously will not just preside over the early court, the things discussed in the court are indeed very important, but for an emperor, their more work is to review the memorials, which is also the most time-consuming.

And these work of reviewing memorials can also reflect whether an emperor is diligent or not.

Rubbing her sore wrist, Zhu Yunying threw down the brush angrily, "All of them haven't made any progress at all, they're all trivial things, and they always want to show off their literary talent!"

The moment Zhu Yunying threw the brush, including Wang Chengen, all the maids or eunuchs in the Hall of Martial Arts knelt down one after another. Even though they knew that the emperor was not losing his temper with them, they still needed to kneel down at this time.

Zhu Yunying looked at it belatedly, and then said, "Get up, I'm not talking about you."

Maybe it's the dragon chair that has been sitting for four years, or maybe it's because Zhu Yunying has always been more majestic, even though many people know that today's emperor treats people in the palace more kindly, but you still need to be careful when you should be careful. When you are in awe, you need to be in awe even more.

Sighing, Zhu Yunying said to himself, "Why do I always want to create a cabinet scholar? It's because there are too many trivial memorials. I spend all day reviewing these memorials, and I don't care about everything. Don't do it!"

This is some of the negative effects brought about by the emperor's monopoly of power, especially after the abolition of the prime minister system, the emperor directly governs six ministries, and the emperor needs to directly control all matters large and small in the country, which naturally means that there are too many things , being too busy is a norm.

While Zhu Yunying was still complaining, Wang Chengen said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Zhou is asking to see you."

Zhu Yunying raised his head and glanced at Wang Chengen, then asked, "Uncle Wu Huang is here, but what did you say?"

Wang Chengen immediately took care, and then explained, "Return to Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Zhou Wang said that the first draft of "The Canon of Xiaokang" has been finalized, and please read it."

This time Zhu Yunying became interested, because this matter really deserved more attention from him.

This "filial piety canon" is not an ordinary book, it is basically the encyclopedia of the Ming Dynasty, which naturally means that the emperor needs to pay more attention to this matter, and the court also needs to give more support for this.

What's more, whether it is for Lao Zhu or Xiao Zhu, this grand ceremony has other political significance, which is something they care about very much. Naturally, there will be no sloppy, and this matter also needs to be done to perfection.

"Filial Piety Canon", not Hongwu or Yingshi, this is enough to explain many problems.Although Da Zhu did not become the emperor, he was also named Emperor Xiaokang by the pig voice, which is enough to explain a lot of things.

So even if such a grand ceremony was completed during the reign of Emperor Yingshi, many people may think that Emperor Xiaokang started to reserve this matter, and Emperor Yingshi also completed the final arrangement and improvement.

Zhu Yunying nodded, and said, "Let Uncle Wu Huang go to the Qing Palace, first let Grandpa Huang have a look, and I'll go there after I'm done with things here."

Naturally, Wang Chengen didn't have any objections, so he hurried to deliver the imperial decree, which was what he should do.

And Zhou Wang Zhu Wei didn't have any opinions. As the wise king of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Wei can say that he has done a lot of things in recent years.As for the compilation of "The Great Canon of Filial Piety", Zhu Wei also took it for granted that he could do well in this matter, which was also one of the things he was more interested in.

Originally, Emperor Xiaokang was his respected and beloved elder brother, and besides, this grand ceremony is really too magnificent.Even if he had compiled a book on plants before, compared with this encyclopedia, it is not in the same order of magnitude at all.

Tiredness will definitely not be tiring. After all, His Royal Highness Zhou Wang does not need to do everything by himself. Many things can be handed over to the officials in charge of editing. Zhou Wang is not going to get a pen, what he needs to do is management and coordination.

"The Great Canon of Filial Piety" is a good thing, and it did cost the court a lot of manpower and material resources, as well as a lot of time.

But Zhu Yunying doesn't think such things are superfluous, and he also understands that with the current literacy rate, it is impossible for all the common people to read this great work, and even many people can only read a few volumes of it at most. That's all.

But all of this is also worthwhile. It is completely different to have or not to have it. The court also needs to do some overall work like this.This is not a purely political project. Such a great work will also have a certain positive effect on the development of the Ming Dynasty.

Let's continue to review the memorial, and lose your temper if you lose your temper, but you still need to continue to work.Even if you feel impatient occasionally, as a diligent emperor, you need to continue to review memorials after complaining.

Many people are familiar with this routine, obviously not talking about Wang Chengen, but talking about the current Emperor Ziyingshi.

After finishing all this work, Zhu Yunying walked towards Qianqing Palace non-stop. There are still many important things to do there.

As soon as he arrived at the gate of Qianqing Palace, Emperor Yingshi, who seemed to be in a good mood, couldn't laugh anymore.Naturally, it was because of his precious eldest son, this little bastard seemed to have reverted to his old ways.

Little Zhu, who was lying on the stone table, seemed to be concentrating, his left hand was constantly turning over the pages of the book, and his right hand was pinching the seal and stamping it constantly.

The stamp-stamping maniac is talking about little Zhu. This kid has such a habit a few years ago, not necessarily because he likes talking, calligraphy, calligraphy and painting so much.

A lot of calligraphy and paintings of celebrities have been appreciated by Xiao Zhu. The reason is naturally that those calligraphy and paintings have the seal of the current prince. This is the best proof.

It is because Lao Zhu and Xiao Zhu are not interested in these calligraphy and paintings, so the works of art that many people flock to are nothing in the eyes of the emperor of the Zhu family, as long as Xiao Zhu is not destroyed.

Zhu Yunying has reason to suspect that even if Little Pig destroys some calligraphy and paintings, Lao Zhu may feel distressed, but that distress is only because he thinks that these things can be rewarded, and some civil servants can still feel grateful.

As for Little Zhu's stamping, Lao Zhu is at most annoyed at Xiao Zhu's fooling around. As for saying that the value of those calligraphy and paintings will be affected because of Xiao Zhu stamping a few more chapters, Lao Zhu will definitely sneer, and he will never believe such a thing. matter.

On the contrary, in his eyes, having Xiao Zhu's seal made those calligraphy and paintings worth a hundred times.Because little Zhu is the heir apparent of Ming Dynasty, the future emperor, and has the seal of the future emperor, as well as some private seals, which is obviously more valuable.

Perhaps sensing some changes in the air pressure in the Qianqing Palace, Xiao Zhu immediately raised her head, and naturally saw her father, who had an unattractive complexion.

Although little Zhu was not afraid of his father, he hurriedly explained, "Father, it's not that we wanted to get the seal stamped, it was because our great-grandfather asked us to do it. We can't blame us for this matter, we just obeyed."

Old Zhu, who was chatting with Zhu Wei, also raised his head and explained, "We asked Yin'er to do it. This grand ceremony is of great importance and we dare not be careless. We won't be able to finish reading it in a while, so let Yin'er do it first." Stamp it. We will take a look at it ourselves, and we should also let the scholars of the Hanlin Academy take a look."

Hearing what Lao Zhu said, Zhu Yunying naturally had no objection, "Grandfather, we didn't say that Yin'er was bad. It was just that he stamped blindly a few years ago, and some good calligraphy and painting made him suffer from psoriasis. Some of us Sometimes it hurts a bit.”

Old Zhu glared fiercely at his precious grandson who was usually reluctant to blame, who made Xiao Zhu say something bad about Xiao Xiaozhu.

Lao Zhu was no longer vague, and said, "This book is bigger than we imagined. Looking at it as it is now, even if we close our eyes, we probably won't be able to see this book as a book."

Hearing what Lao Zhu said, Zhu Yunying didn't raise any objections, because it was basically the truth.

The "Filial Piety Canon" has been edited for almost four years, and the imperial court has given enough support to this matter.It's just that even so, there is still no way to change this canon, even if it is the first draft, it has not really been completed.

There is no need to think about it for one or two years, and you may see some clues for three or four years.If you want to see this great canon as a real book, not only do you really need to wait for about ten years, then you can be regarded as the real completion of this monumental work.

And considering Lao Zhu's age, even though his body and bones have always been relatively strong, he is still at this age.

Zhu Yunying probably also understood what Lao Zhu meant, so he could only say, "If it comes to that time, even though it hasn't really been written yet, we will definitely have someone clean up a set to be buried with Xiaoling."

Lao Zhu immediately showed a smile, this eldest grandson did not hurt in vain, and the one who understood his thoughts the most after all these years was actually this precious grandson who often made him angry.

In fact, Zhu Su is not particularly afraid of Lao Zhu, let alone there is still business to do now, "Father, the imperial court also invites famous people to write this great ceremony. Now among these people who are writing this book, I think some of them are quite ability."

Old Zhu naturally understood what Zhu Huan meant, but he still said, "You don't want to tell us about these things, and we don't bother to take care of them. You just tell the emperor, whether he sees or not, and whether you want to give some rewards, then It's all his business."

Zhu Yunying will naturally give Zhu Wei face, and she is also a little curious, "Oh, listening to Uncle Wu, I think we have found some capable people. Let's take a good look at what these people are capable of, so that Uncle Wu can appreciate them. .”

It is a bit of an exaggeration to say so, being recruited by the imperial court to participate in the revision of books naturally means talent and ability.Simply speaking, there must be no problem with literary talent and other aspects. Everyone is full of talent, and it is natural to write splendid articles with ease. There is no need to doubt this at all.

Zhu Yunying continued at this time, "That's it, let's meet these people tomorrow in the Hall of Martial Arts. We think it's not good if there are too many people, so I will trouble Uncle Wu and bring those talented people over here." Bar."

Naturally, Zhu Huan immediately agreed, and felt that his face was bright.

The reason is very simple, because his words still have some weight in front of the emperor. Although he is just a rich prince now, even if he is the clan order of the clan mansion, sometimes the dignified king of Zhou doesn't seem to have any real rights.

Now he presides over the compilation of "The Great Canon of Filial Piety", and there are actually many people under Zhu Xi's command.It is of course the best thing to be able to seek some benefits for the subordinates, and maybe some good stories about the King of Zhou will be spread in the future.

For example, such things as discerning talents with eyesight, this is obviously a good talk.And considering that the recommended person is a scholar, it can also make His Royal Highness Zhou Wang's reputation in Shilin better.This is out-and-out good news, and there must not be too many such good reputations for Zhu Wei.

Zhu Wei also explained at this time, "I also know that there are a lot of high-ranking talents in the imperial court, and the selection of officials through the imperial examination also found many capable scholars for us in Ming Dynasty. It was this trip to repair books, and we also saw that many people in the field were also Capable. Many people don’t have any fame, and we also love talents, fearing that they will bury them.”

Zhu Yunying didn't find it strange at all that Zhu Wei said this, on the contrary, it was a very normal thing.

The selection of officials through imperial examinations seems to be a relatively fair system, and it did bring a steady stream of talents to the Ming court.However, Zhu Yunying also knew that some people could not be named on the gold list due to various reasons, and some people would indeed be buried. This is a very normal phenomenon.

Little Zhu, who stamped the seal next to him, was unwilling to be lonely, and said quickly, "Don't ask the source of the hero. Our great-grandfather was a little novice before, and the current minister of the Ministry of Industry is not a serious scholar. As long as you have the ability, we will not be able to do it in the future." Only stare at those who have been named on the gold list."

Glancing at the happy old Zhu, Zhu Yunying said, "Grandpa, this little prince has to continue teaching."

Old Zhu nodded cheerfully, this matter is indeed his greatest joy now.He has already cultivated a wise and mighty Yingshi emperor for Ming Dynasty, which seems to be enough.

However, for the workaholic Lao Zhu, it is extremely important to train an excellent successor for Daming again.This matter made him happy, not only because of the country and land of Daming, but also because of educating his great-grandson well, so that Lao Zhu could have the fun of playing with his grandson.

Let little Zhu continue stamping now. This child is not old enough, and his experience is relatively inexperienced. There are many things that need to be learned slowly, and many principles that need to be pondered slowly. These things cannot be rushed.

Fortunately, whether it is Lao Zhu or Xiao Zhu, they both have enough patience to slowly cultivate Xiao Zhu.
