Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 693 Corporal Li Xian
Little Zhu hurriedly went to the Qianqing Palace, and he wanted to ask carefully about his performance in the morning court today.This is something he cares about very much, because Xiao Zhu is proud in his bones, and he doesn't allow himself to do things that are not good enough.

Because his great-grandfather was Emperor Hongwu, his grandfather was Emperor Xiaokang, and his father was Emperor Yingshi!
Deep down, Xiao Zhu also felt that she was the best.As long as he wants to do something, he must do his best!
"This kid." Looking at little Zhu's back, Zhu Yunying couldn't help being happy, "I originally said that when I grow up, I will be more stable, but I have been used to him all these years, that is, he dared to run around in the palace. gone."

Wang Chengen lowered his head and said nothing. If he really dared to run in the palace, he would indeed be the crown prince.If other people don't have any urgent matters, they will walk very steadily step by step, and when they encounter some urgent matters, they just speed up their pace.

I dare not even think about such a thing as running, it is a matter of disrespect, and maybe I will be punished.

Of course, Wang Chengen was just thinking about these things, who in the palace would dare to compare with the crown prince?
Back at Qianqing Palace, Zhu Yunying asked, "What is my cabinet doing now?"

Wang Cheng'en immediately said, "Return to the emperor, the cabinet scholar has entered the Wenyuan Pavilion, and it is time to draft opinions."

Zhu Yunying nodded slightly, although the existence of the cabinet made many civil servants feel a little nervous.But they really couldn't help it, because the Emperor Yingshi was obviously a scoundrel, so the cabinet appeared in such a dishonorable name.

Now many people also think that the cabinet is very powerful, even if the rank of the Cabinet Grand Master is not high, but compared with the previous Palace Grand Master, the power can be said to be one in the sky and one in the ground, which is completely different.

Because today's national memorials, large and small, and even the suggestions put forward by the common people to the emperor are all collected by the general secretary, who submits them to the emperor for review, and then submits them to the cabinet. The cabinet is responsible for drafting opinions, and then the supervisor Submit the opinions to the emperor for approval, and finally the six subjects will proofread and issue them.

Although many people also know that the Grand Masters of the Cabinet can only draft some small matters, the real big event emperor cannot let some Grand Masters of the Cabinet see the memorial.But in any case, the Grand Master of the Cabinet can handle some things now.

This is not a trivial matter, and it can even be said to be some brand-new political structure of the Ming Dynasty.

If it was before, the Civil Service Group would definitely be extremely excited.Because even if there are martial arts in the cabinet, they are mainly civilian officials.On the other hand, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, who was accustomed to monopolizing power, was finally willing to start delegating power.

This is naturally something to be happy about, but it's a pity that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty deliberately made all the civil and military officials feel uncomfortable, and the cabinet still has some unfair names.Many people can see that this is what Emperor Yingshi did on purpose. What he wants is such a bad reputation, which is also a kind of restriction on the cabinet.

Balance and restraint are obviously also a characteristic of Emperor Yingshi's bones.Even if it is to decentralize power, it is impossible for him to truly completely decentralize power, at least it will not let the civil servant group or the Wu Xun group grow unilaterally.

Meeting such an emperor can be said to make many civil and military officials very uncomfortable.

The emperor is too wise to be fooled, and the emperor is a bit mean and not easy to serve.But there is no way, who made them just courtiers!

Zhu Yunying smiled and said nothing more, he still has a lot of things to do.Some military and state affairs need to be handled by him personally, and Zhu Yunying also needs to review and approve some opinions drafted by the cabinet scholars.

While Zhu Yunying was busy, Wang Chengen said cautiously, "My lord, His Royal Highness King Zhou is asking for an audience outside the palace. It is said that the lord has allowed the compilation of the canon to enter the palace."

Zhu Yunying raised her head and couldn't help laughing, "I don't know what I'm busy with these days. These things have been promised to the emperor a long time ago, but I have been busy until now and haven't implemented them. How can the emperor be a golden mouth, It’s just reneging on promises and getting fat.”

Wang Chengen immediately helped and said, "Your Majesty spends so much time these days dealing with state affairs, and His Royal Highness King Zhou also knows about it."

Zhu Yunying said with a smile, "Let them come here. I read the grand canon a few days ago, and the compilation is reasonable. Go let the prince prepare it. I'm not good at rewarding it. Let the prince make a decree to show off."

Zhu Yunying is really not good at giving rewards directly. After all, "The Canon of Filial Piety" has not yet been written.Now you can give these editors and others some rewards, or a serious identity.But before the book is fully completed, it is obviously not easy to reward meritorious deeds.

But to give these people some small benefits, if the emperor doesn't show up, let the prince come forward, which is still effective. After all, the prince is the foundation of the country, and the prince's reward is also a kind of honor.

Naturally, someone would do these things, whether it was an audience with the Xuanren, or going to the Qianqing Palace to convey the will, it was naturally done by someone, and Zhu Yunying didn't need to worry about it at all.

Zhou Wang Zhu Wei was responsible for presiding over the compilation of "Filial Piety and Kang Dadian", which is a masterpiece that demonstrates the prestige of the country and benefits all generations.

The requirements are: since the book contract, all the books of classics and history have been collected from hundreds of schools, as for astronomy, topography, yin and yang, medicine and divination, monks and Taoism, and skills, they will be compiled into one book!
This is undoubtedly a feat, so the scale is constantly expanding.From dozens of people at the beginning, after continuous convening and recommendation, more than 2000 people have participated in the compilation of this encyclopedia.

Those who can participate are either erudite scholars or top experts in certain fields.Such a grand event in the literary world has indeed attracted many people to flock to it, no matter whether it is already inscribed on the gold list or in white clothes, there is no way to refuse such a thing.

Even some 'hermits' who had refused to be recruited by the imperial court before, even if they didn't care about their official status, they couldn't refuse to participate in such a grand event in the literary world.To be famous in history is the ultimate dream for many scholars.

And "The Great Canon of Filial Piety" can be regarded as something that can carry their dreams.Many people think that such a masterpiece is something that some previous dynasties have not done, and it may surpass "Zi Zhi Tong Jian", "Historical Books" and so on.

After all, "Zizhi Tongjian" is also a history book, and "Xiaokang Dadian" is not a pure history book.This includes scriptures, history, sons, and collections, involving astronomy and geography, yin and yang medicine, divination, Buddhism, Taoism, drama, crafts, and agriculture. It covers the wealth of knowledge of the Chinese nation for thousands of years. It's hard not to expect it!
People are not sages, and more or less they have their own selfishness and pursuits. This is a very normal thing, and Zhu Yunying will never object to these.

If everyone has no desires or desires, the emperor will sometimes be anxious, which means that there will be fewer people to do things for him, which is obviously something the emperor does not want to see.

The people who can enter the palace to have an audience are very few, basically they are the core figures who participated in the compilation of the canon.For them, this is indeed a great honor, and they must pay attention to this matter.

Zhu Wei led a dozen people into the palace, some of them were wearing official uniforms, some were not.This also shows that the people who compiled the canon this time were not only from the imperial court, but also from many non-governmental forces. The imperial court also organized and coordinated and gave the greatest support.

"Minister Zhu Huan, kowtow to His Majesty the Emperor."

"Chen, Xie Jin, Dai Sigong (Jiang Yongwen) and others, please greet His Majesty the Emperor."

"Chen Ji in white and others, kowtow to His Majesty the Emperor."

Zhu Yunying, who was sitting on the dragon chair, was full of spring breeze, and said kindly, "All my lovers, please be flat. Wang Chengen, I will give you a seat and tea."

After saying this, Zhu Yunying got up and said, "Uncle Huang, these are the great scholars and great masters you mentioned? Tell me quickly, I want to see the pillars of the court!"

Many people were a little excited, not just to thank His Royal Highness King Zhou for his recommendation and appreciation.It is also because of being praised by His Majesty the Emperor, this is a matter of glory that they can engrave on the epitaph, and it is also a matter of glory.

These are indeed not trivial matters, each of these editors is a student of literary and martial arts, goods and imperial families.For these people, this may be the opportunity for their official career to take off, or the starting point for the carp to leap over the dragon's gate.

As for Zhu Yunying, don't look at how close he is to Confucianism in his bones, and he also suppresses some Confucian children less.But as an emperor, you can't just do some things blindly relying on your own preferences. You still need to pay attention to attracting some people, especially some scholar-bureaucrat groups.

In the final analysis, Zhu Yunying is the ruler, and the scholar-officials can also be said to be some foundations of the ruling group, and they still need to be wooed and maintained.

A feudal emperor, Zhu Yunying is a feudal emperor, and he never thought of transforming Ming Dynasty into a great harmony in the world.He knew that would be unrealistic, it would not be a prosperous age, it would only bring chaos.

Zhu Huan also has a bit of face. Although he is the king of Zhou, many people know that he is the order of the clan.However, there are more and more clans in the Ming Dynasty, and a prince may have no real name, no power, and may not have much dignity.

What's more, after compiling "Materia Medica for Relief of Famines" before, Zhu Wei still has a certain enthusiasm for plants and literature. He still hopes to have a higher status in Shilin and literary circles, and now it seems that he has a chance.

After all, he is nominally in charge of the editor-in-chief of "The Canon of Filial Piety", even in terms of real talents and learning, etc., he may not be as good as many people.But being able to organize and manage these Confucian scholars well, etc., is Zhu's ability and status, and these are not easy tasks.

Zhu Su also knew what he should do, so he said, "Your Majesty, this person is Xie Jin. In the 20th year of Hongwu, Jiangxi Xieyuan, and the Jinshi in the 21st year of Hongwu, he was No. 10 in the top three in the Ministry of Rites Examination and Palace Examination."

Zhu Yunying also knew Xie Jin, and said with a smile, "I remember this person. In the early years, the old Shangshu Ru Taisu admired him quite a lot. I remember that I was dismissed from office before to complain for Li Shanchang."

Xie Jin knelt down immediately, a little panicked, "I was stupid and Meng Lang in my early years, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive me!"

Zhu Yunying smiled and said, "Let's get back on your feet. If I really wanted to punish you, I wouldn't let you recover. You were also retired for a few years in the early years, and you should have made some progress. You have talents and learning, so don't delay your fullness Talent, don’t need to be a scholar, but serve the court and benefit the people.”

Xie Jin knelt down immediately, still a little excited in his heart, because this was what His Majesty the Emperor expected of him.It can be said that His Majesty the Emperor has high expectations for him, which is a treatment that ordinary courtiers do not have!

Zhu Huan also introduced, "This is Dai Sigong and Dai Yuanli. His father, Dai Shiyao, was a famous doctor, and then he studied with Zhu Danxi, a famous doctor. Zhu Zhenheng had many disciples, but Dai Sigong was the only one who learned the truth. In the 19th year of Hongwu, his father was ill, and Dai Sigong was ordered to diagnose and treat it. The medicine will cure the disease. Now he is the eighth-rank imperial doctor, Di Gonglang."

Zhu Yunying immediately helped him up to wear Yuanli, with the appearance of a corporal, "Mr. Danxi is a master of Xinglin, and Aiqing has the true biography of Mr. Danxi, so he must have excellent medical skills. Aiqing is nearly eighty years old, with excellent medical skills and outstanding conduct. Judgment by the left court. Aiqing has meritorious service in curing the emperor's grandfather, and he is awarded the title of Fengxun doctor and Xiuyin."

Dai Yuanli, who was nearly eighty years old, burst into tears and thanked him emotionally.

From the eighth-rank imperial doctor to the sixth-rank imperial hospital judge, it can be said that it has soared into the sky.The most important thing is that His Majesty gave him a fifth-rank doctor, even if it's just a prose official, it's still an official.Moreover, although this five-rank corrected Shu Yin is the first rank among the tenth ranks of Wen Xun, he is also an honorary officer. This is no small matter!

Corporal courtesy is still very important. This is not just a show, it is also a very effective way to win the hearts of the world.Of course, this time, it is mainly aimed at some scholars.

As for Xie Jin or Dai Yuanli, Zhu Yunying actually knew something before.They were indeed brought into the palace by Zhu Wei, but before they entered the palace, Zhu Yun had reported the list and received the palace amulet, and Zhu Yunying had done some research on the experiences of these people and so on.

It is normal for the emperor to do this. Since it is to win people's hearts, of course it takes some effort. This is what a qualified emperor should do.

It seems that there are still a lot of talents, and Zhu Yunying is in a very good mood.Those who edited the "Filial Canon of Xiaokang" all had enough talents and abilities.

And for these people, they are all excited now.They have only just compiled the first draft, and it seems that His Majesty is very satisfied with their work and approves it very much.

It has not been officially written yet, but it has already received enough rewards from His Majesty.

If it really becomes a book, it will definitely receive more rewards from His Majesty, and only then will it be considered truly outstanding.The real book is the real reward for meritorious deeds!
When it comes to oppressing civil and military officials, Zhu Yunying thinks he has some experience.But he still has a sense of propriety, he wants the horse to run fast, he should feed the grass when it should be fed, and he can't be stingy when it is time to reward him!
