Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 691
Little Zhu naturally knew that he had a mission to come to court this time, and this little guy also knew that he had to fulfill the mission assigned by his father.So little Zhu had already prepared, and the queen mother explained a lot last night.

Obedience is also an excellent quality of little Zhu. Don't look at this kid who is a bit high on the outside, this kid is also a little arrogant.But in front of some people, little Zhu is still very obedient.

Although the civil and military officials had already expressed surprise at the crown prince's coming to the court before entering the court, and saw the prince standing at the head of the civil service team, these were all things that the civil and military officials felt surprised.But the prince didn't say a word before, and it seemed that he was just listening in, and there seemed to be no surprises.

It seems that he is not really watching politics, because the prince does not seem to intend to express some of his political opinions.Everyone is not surprised, the prince is young after all, and the prince has not observed politics before, so it is normal.

But now His Majesty the Emperor suddenly asked the Crown Prince, this is no small matter.

From the words and deeds of the prince, you can see some of the prince's character, which is also very important.

Little Zhu came out of the class and said solemnly, "I think that the words of your love are reasonable. Zhong Shan is involved in it, so it is not easy to preside over the contribution. My minister thinks that Cao Guogong and Kai Guogong are more suitable."

Hearing what little Zhu said, Emperor Yingshi, who was sitting on the dragon chair, nodded slightly. His prince's performance was not bad.

Although there are no bright spots, it is relatively safe. This is considered a good performance, and it is worthy of recognition.For the civil and military officials, the crown prince seems to be upright, which is a good thing.

After all, Emperor Yingshi was actually very defensive, and this is something that many people know, and they have seen it clearly.These are not secrets, and the clues can actually be seen from the performance of Emperor Yingshi in recent years.

After all, Emperor Yingshi had too much involvement with the Chang line, so the Chang line was born to be close to the emperor.As for the Son of Heaven, most of the time he is more dependent on the nobles of the same line, and sometimes he does have some partiality.

In addition to being partial to Wu Xun and often being in the same line, among the civil servants, Ru Yu was also from the Taisun Mansion, and each of them has been reused.Except for Ru Yu and the others here, they do have some abilities, but no one knows the real reason.

Ru Yu and the others do have some abilities, but many people also know that there are many talents in the court.Many people just lack some opportunities to show their talents, but it doesn't mean that they are mediocre and mediocre.

Little Zhu also said at this time, "Qizuo father, I feel that the old system should be followed for raising merit this time."

In fact, the current military achievements are basically the first achievements and military achievements.

The first work is naturally easy to understand, this is the first level.This is also continued from the beginning of Daqin, although it will appear a little barbaric and bloody, and it will also have some disadvantages.But generally speaking, this method of assessing military merit is also the most appropriate, and it has been continuing.

Especially in the current Ming Dynasty, there is also a division of the first merit. In the past, the most important first merit was the Mongolia, and then the barbarians, the rebels in the mainland, etc. were actually the lowest.Different regions have different military exploits and financial rewards.

In fact, many people also understand that what the first merit system brings is to kill the good and pretend to be meritorious, which is also something that has happened in all dynasties.Or fighting for merit, these are some things that will happen.

No policy is perfect. It can only be said that as long as the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, it is considered good.

In addition to the first merit, of course it is military merit, such as extraordinary merit, first merit, and second merit. Unlike the first merit, the credit is determined according to the performance of the soldiers on the battlefield.Generally speaking, as long as you win, as long as you fight the enemy bravely, you will always have a chance to be rewarded.

First merit and military exploits go hand in hand, they do not actually conflict, they also complement each other.

In fact, the current Ming Dynasty is also a hereditary system of officers, after all, it is also a guard system now.Therefore, it can also be said that the strategy of "multiple promotions is not as good as heavy rewards" is also because Lao Zhu rewarded meritorious ministers at the beginning.

It is not good to have too many officials, so one must be cautious about promotion, but the rewards can be generous.After all, if a large number of officials are promoted now, they will all be paid in the future.But rewarding money or fields, etc., there is no need to worry about the burden of the court in the future.

As for the rewards of silver, fields, etc., there is actually no problem, and the soldiers will not have any dissatisfaction.They fight the enemy bravely, and they can also get enough rewards, such as delicious food and spicy food, or no worries about food and clothing.

These are all very normal things, and this is also a military merit system in the Ming Dynasty, and no one has much opinion.

The emperor seemed to be quite satisfied with what the prince said, and said with a smile, "The prince is right, it's better to follow the old system."

Some of Xiaozhu's views actually don't seem to have much new ideas, and there are no constructive opinions.But this is not bad, the victory lies in safety, this is a good quality.

Drastic reforms sometimes require great courage, and may also bring great help.But once the reform is not effective, it is very likely that it will bring about huge turbulence, or very big disadvantages.

The current Ming Dynasty does not need drastic reforms in many systems. Steadyness is more appropriate. This is also the quality that emperors and princes should have. You can’t just think about it. Otherwise, it’s not the emperor who has his own opinion, but the emperor is blind. Tossed.

Zhu Yunying thought for a while, nodded slowly and said, "The crown prince is still young, but he has been canonized for many years after all. This time, Cao Guogong and Founding Duke will be the first to report to the crown prince."

Many civil and military officials immediately looked at each other in blank dismay, and couldn't help whispering to each other. The emperor's appearance exceeded everyone's expectations.

Little Zhu was very happy, and immediately knelt down and said, "I thank my father for your kindness! My son should do his best to live up to your father's grace!"

Chang Mao also immediately got out of the class and knelt down, with a firm tone, "I will lead the order, and I will assist His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Li Jinglong is not to be outdone, this is a good opportunity to show his favor to the prince, "The minister leads the decree!"

In fact, many people understand that this matter is still presided over by Chang Mao and Li Jinglong, but of course the crown prince is the main one in name.The so-called report to the prince, at first glance, I thought that the final decision was made by the prince, but this is only in name.

This is different from the past. When Emperor Hongwu was in power, major and minor matters were first handed over to the prince for approval, and then sent to Emperor Hongwu.The prince back then was not a mascot, nor was he a figurehead. Many things had to be approved by the prince.

But now, Xiao Zhu's side is just a name, it is estimated that the little stamped maniac stamped it, and then gave it to his father.

Although everyone understands this truth, it still surprises many people and feels that the crown prince is really in a stable position.Even if it's just a symbolic thing, it still doesn't affect the prince's name.

Now that the emperor is young and strong, he is willing to cultivate the prince like this. This is no ordinary favor.

The nobles of the Xu lineage are naturally a little excited, mainly because the crown prince's status is stable, which must be good news for them.Of course, the nobles of the Xu lineage are naturally close to little Zhu, just like the Chang lineage is always looking after Zhu Yunying.

To put it bluntly, if the 'first emperor' had not died, if he had enthroned and established the Lu family, the nobles of the regular line might not have much opinion.But they will definitely submit a booklet to request the canonization of the Chang family as the queen, and they will definitely eagerly request the canonization of the emperor's grandson as the crown prince, and they will definitely not give the Lu family and Zhu Yunqi any chance.

Back then, Zhu Yunying's situation seemed a little more complicated, but in fact it wasn't too complicated, where the title of the eldest son was.

But they must also do their best, and they must become Zhu Yunying's support and Zhu Yunying's wings.Zhu Yunying's ascension to the Great Treasure is also in the interests of the nobles of the Chang family.

And the current situation is the same, little Zhu Guoben's position is stable, and the nobles of the Xu lineage naturally want to wave the flag for the crown prince.The prince is bound to ascend the throne in the future, and no one can threaten the prince's status.

Even if the crown prince has gained symbolic power for raising merit this time, this is also a 'declaration to the world'!
Thinking a little deeper, this is actually the day when the emperor allowed some martial arts to approach the prince.It wasn't the Xu family who were naturally close to the prince, but some people from the Fu family were allowed to approach, or generals from other hilltops were allowed to approach the prince.

Isn't this obvious? These soldiers fought bloody battles in Korea, and no matter how much credit they deserved, it was what they fought for.But after receiving the reward, one must thank the emperor for his grace.But now that the crown prince presided over this matter, the grace was rewarded by the crown prince, and of course I should also thank him.

Understanding these things naturally made the nobles of the Xu lineage even more excited, and they had more confidence in the future of the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, and they all felt that the position of the crown prince was as stable as Mount Tai.

As for worrying about the emperor's excessive favor, there is no need to worry about it, because no matter whether it is the former Da Zhu or Xiao Zhu, they have clarified their status at a relatively young age, and have more or less contacted some nobles, even a little bit. military power.

The emperor doesn't shy away from these things. If other people talk too much at this time, they will easily be accused of alienating the family relationship of the Tian family. Can't bear it.

Zhu Yunying asked again at this time, "Prince, since you are asked to take charge of this matter, do you have a charter in mind?"

Little Zhu was silent for a moment, and when Xu Huizu was secretly anxious, little Zhu also realized that he was asked to implement the previously discussed plan.

Since this is the case, there is no need to worry. Little Zhu sometimes lacks quick wit. This is not because Little Zhu is stupid, but simply because he is not old enough and has relatively few experiences.

But now let him follow the previously discussed plan, then naturally there will be no problems, and it will be a piece of cake for him.

Xiao Xiao immediately said, "Qi Zou, Emperor Father, I thought that besides the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, there should be an assistant from the Ministry of War and the Clan."

Zhu Yunying seemed a little unhappy, and said, "The clan? The crown prince should know that this is a military matter, and the clan's family should not be involved in it."

Everyone didn't think there was a problem with the emperor's words. The clan of the Ming Dynasty was rich and prominent enough, and it was difficult to find a group that received more preferential treatment than the clan of the Ming Dynasty in all dynasties.

The clan's identities are sensitive, and they are not naturally suitable for contact with military power, which is a very taboo thing.It's okay for the emperor to say that. Even if the emperor doesn't say it, some ministers will probably object. This is not to refute the crown prince's face.

Little Zhu was not annoyed, and continued, "Father, my sons and daughters think that this battle is a war to destroy the country, and the court will raise righteous soldiers and defeat ministers. If you just follow the old calendar, it will damage the court's face. It should be assisted by relatives outside the clan, with Show the grace of heaven."

Hearing what Xiaoxiao Zhu said, many people fell into deep thought. There is still some truth in what the crown prince said.The clan sent someone to come forward, even if it was only symbolic, but this symbolism could win people's hearts.

At this time, little Zhu said again, "I think that the prince's son-in-law should be the assistant. Goryeo's disobedience was the first vassal state destroyed by the imperial court. Li Qijiu, the prince's son-in-law of Lin'an, is the magistrate of Tianjin, and he is good at handling trivial matters."

As soon as Xiao Zhu finished speaking, many people looked at each other in blank dismay, and it could even be said that they were a little shocked.Crown Prince, you really dare to say anything!
Li Qi, that is the eldest son of Li Shan.Although he is the captain's son-in-law, who doesn't know that Li Shanchang's end is quite bleak.

That was the powerful official who once assisted the emperor in determining the titles of the gods of mountains and rivers in the world, enshrined the kings, and rewarded meritorious officials. He was the number one hero in the founding of the Ming Dynasty in the eyes of many people!

Just when someone couldn't hold back and wanted to excuse Xiao Zhu, Zhu Yunying, who was sitting on the dragon chair, seemed a little unhappy, "In that case, let's play according to the prince. Prince, step down."

Many people breathed a sigh of relief, because the emperor seemed to have recognized the prince's request with his nose held.But it seems that the emperor is only maintaining the majesty of the prince, so he has to admit this matter.

So eager to let the prince step down, naturally he does not want the prince to make any suggestions, otherwise it will be difficult!
Little Zhu immediately backed down, continuing to maintain his taciturn appearance.The matter that the father asked has been done, so don't say anything at this time, his task has been completed, that's all.

As for what the other courtiers were thinking, it had nothing to do with little Zhu.He came to the court to do this thing, and it was enough to do it well, and the rest had nothing to do with him.

But Xu Huizu, who knew the inside story, was expressionless. He didn't know anything and couldn't say anything. This was the most correct way.The prince has done a good job in this matter, that's enough!
