Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 694 Checks and Balances
Zhu Yunying didn't find it difficult to be a virtuous and corporal emperor, mainly because he had gotten used to it over the years.

Anyway, he is also an emperor with some ambitions and pursuits, which naturally means that he will have a lot of ideas.Even if you don't care about it sometimes, you still need to put on a show on the surface.

What's more, Zhu Yunying didn't dare to relax in his emphasis on talents.In any age, talent is extremely precious.Even though Zhu Yunying did complain about the traditional Confucian children sometimes, he had to admit that there were a lot of talents among the Confucian children, which must be admitted.

Furthermore, among the many talents, many children of Confucianism are also officials who have undertaken the feudal dynasty for more than 1000 years.These people are also an important part of the emperor's rule, so Zhu Yunying will not beat the Confucian children to death with a stick.

For Zhu Yunying, he showed the image of a courteous and corporal emperor.Of course, meritorious deeds must be rewarded, which is also one of the most basic requirements of a wise emperor. Zhu Yunying definitely wants to reward meritorious ministers a little.

On the other hand, it is natural that there are simple and talented people, especially among those who compile the canon and revise books, many of them are in white clothes.

For example, Yang Shiqi is white, and this one was recommended because of his "talent of history".It is precisely because he is so talented that he can have the opportunity to meet the emperor in the palace. This is an absolutely talented person.

Zhu Yunying certainly needs to pay attention to such talents.It's just that Yang Shiqi can only get some encouragement now. The reason is that the compilation of "The Canon of Xiaokang" has reached a critical moment, and Yang Shiqi cannot be taken away now.

However, in order to express his importance to Yang Shiqi, Zhu Yunying also presented Yang Shiqi's biological father posthumously and praised Yang Shiqi's stepfather.These are also an emphasis on Yang Shiqi, which naturally made Yang Shiqi feel grateful, as if he wanted to be loyal and filial.

This is also normal, after all, the character requirements for a person in this era are loyalty and filial piety.

Zhu Yunying has done what an emperor should do, to be a respectful and corporal emperor, and to make the court full of talents, he must not be complacent just because he has achieved some achievements now.

After all, Zhu Yunying has an ambitious plan, and if he wants to complete some of his plans, Zhu Yunying cannot do it alone.He can formulate some strategies and plans, but the execution and implementation of these things requires a lot of talents.

There must not be too many talents for Zhu Yunying, and he can even "disregard past suspicions". As long as there are no major problems, Zhu Yunying still wants to give full play to his talents in many cases, because this will be more helpful to the Ming Dynasty.

After seeing the people who compiled the canon, Zhu Yunying naturally needed to continue to review the memorial.

After all, the people I met this time were essentially just giving them some encouragement. After all, the grand ceremony has not yet been written into a book, and this is just a phased affirmation.

It is impossible for the busy Zhu Yunying to organize an academic conference, and it is impossible to talk about the classics with these knowledgeable people. At least at this stage, there is no need for such a thing, as long as he poses enough.

After lunch, Zhu Yunying still had to continue to work, so he sneaked in and asked, "Did Zhongshan Gong meet Song Zhong and Jiang Yu?"

Wang Chengen immediately replied, "Go back to the emperor, Song Zhong met Zhongshan Gong in the restaurant at the quarter of Shen Shi yesterday. At three o'clock in the unitary hour, Jiang Yu hosted a banquet for Zhongshan Gong in the outer house. It is quite strict, and few people probably know about it."

Zhu Yunying nodded in satisfaction, it seemed that his will was still very important.It's not just that Xu Huizu attaches great importance to it, he has just returned to Beijing and immediately started to get busy, without any delay.

And spy chiefs like Jiang Yu and Song Zhong didn't dare to be careless, even if they didn't dare to get too close to foreign ministers and relatives of the emperor, but at this time, they should immediately go to Xu Huizu to do the things that His Majesty explained. .

I am very satisfied with the people under my command, and Zhu Yunying really needs to be more efficient.After all, some things have already happened, and he is also very clear that if some things are not resolved early, there may be greater damage.

Whether it's cutting the mess with a sharp knife, or killing chickens to make an example of monkeys, Zhu Yunying needs to resolve these troubles decisively at this time.He is also very clear that some things have already happened, so don't think about hurting the spring and autumn at this time, and solving the problem is more important.

"Call the Minister of the Ministry of Officials to see you." Zhu Yunying said to Wang Cheng'en, "Let the minister of Dali Temple wait, and they should all move."

Naturally, Wang Chengen had no opinion. The emperor summoned the Minister of the Ministry of Officials or the Minister of Dali Temple.It's just that these people may just think that they are discussing normal government affairs.

At most, it is now that some are on the cusp of the storm, and the big guys also think that they should make various arrangements for the "Jingcha".After all, such things are very sensitive, and many civil servants and generals are also extremely sensitive at this time.

Ru Jian was ordered to meet with him, and Zhu Yunying said straight to the point, "Ru Jian is quite capable, but he has a bit of ability to accompany readers. After a good experience, he should be a pillar of the imperial court."

Ru Yu knelt down at this moment, and said earnestly, "Your Majesty, thanks to His Majesty's grace, the courtiers can enter the Wenyuan Pavilion. It's just that the responsibilities of the Cabinet Scholars are different from the past, and the courtiers are captains-in-law. I'm afraid it's not easy to participate in the government affairs. "

Zhu Yunying looked at Ru Jian appreciatively. In fact, this was something Zhu Yunying was considering, and he really needed to consider moving Ru Jian's position a little bit.

Zhu Yunying smiled and said, "It's true to read this statement. There are some criticisms from the government and the opposition. So let's do it. The matter of moving the capital is urgent. Ru Jian should go to Tianjin as the prefect. It is good for Tianjin to have people who I trust."

Ru Yu looked a bit embarrassed, and said to Zhu Yunying, "Your Majesty, my subjects are not talented enough, and any prefect has some."

Zhu Yunying told the truth, "Ru Jian has some talent and learning, and it would be harming him to make him a minister and servant, and a magistrate would be appropriate. It happens that our aunt also likes to travel around, so we don't stick to them."

Ru Yu still had some small expectations in her heart. His eldest son is the captain-in-law himself, and his status is relatively prominent, but sometimes this prominence is not a small hidden danger.

The cabinet bachelor is now able to help the emperor handle government affairs, which is sensitive in itself.Coupled with the identity of Ru Jian's relatives, it is naturally more sensitive.What's more, Ru Yu is still the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and some of his papers may even fall into Ru Jian's hands for review.

This kind of thing is more sensitive to say, and you need to be careful about any one, which makes some people taboo.Ru Jian encountered almost every item here, and naturally became more sensitive, making people feel very uneasy.

It is better to let it go outside. Although he is not a big official in the frontier, he can still preside over the affairs of a government after all, and it can be regarded as gaining some experience.

In fact, Ru Yu also understands that his three sons are all relatively ordinary in talent, that is to say, they are middle-aged.Too prominent a position is not a good thing, a little bit of experience will be enough, coupled with the status of a relative, it will be more carefree outside.

As for whether His Majesty the Emperor meant to withdraw a bachelor in a few words, Ru Xun actually didn't care about these things at all, he was used to these things long ago, and there was no need to speculate on his intentions.

Speaking of which, he is happy to see such a thing come to fruition. This is an absolutely good thing, and of course he must support it.

Looking at Ruyu, Zhu Yunying also said, "This time we are preparing for the Beijing inspection, and I know our intentions if we want to accompany you. If the government is not clear, the government must be unclear!"

Ru Yu naturally replied quickly and earnestly, "Your Majesty, I am well aware of the importance of Beijing's investigation. I decided to investigate the Ministry of Officials first. If it is not right, there will be chaos!"

Zhu Yunying nodded in satisfaction. It's definitely not just because he was born in the Taisun's Mansion that Ru Yu became the head of the six ministers.

If he didn't have some real talent and learning, he would definitely not be able to hold the position of Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and it would be impossible for the emperor to hand over such an important position to a mediocre person.After all, Zhu Yunying is not some faint king, he is an ambitious wise king.

Briefly chatted with Ru Yu about Jingcha's affairs, some things don't need Zhu Yunying's ear to tell.If it really reaches that level, the position of Ru Yu, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, will need to be considered for replacement. Some things also need these courtiers to take the initiative to do well and solve the emperor's problems.

Ru Yu really needs to prove his ability and position. No one will doubt his background, but as the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, he needs to prove that he does not have a vegetarian meal, and he does not get carried away just because he is in a high position now.

When Ru Xun left Fengtian Hall, Lian Zining naturally had an audience with him by order, and things like Jingcha naturally required the help of Dali Temple.

For civil and military officials, Zhu Yunying has always been used to having some checks and balances.Even though Zhu Yunying has a lot of trust in Ru Yu, Zhu Yunying really won't let Ru Yu monopolize all the power, especially the evaluation, appointment and dismissal of officials all over the world must also have some supervision and restrictions.

As the emperor's cheap father-in-law, Lian Zining has always offended people, and he also knows that his official career has actually reached its peak long ago.But these years he has been working conscientiously, this is his personality and character.

The grand plan of Jingcha will inevitably offend a lot of people, but Lian Zining really doesn't care at all. He has offended too many people, so naturally he doesn't care about offending a few more people.

What's more, since his daughter and granddaughter have a prominent status, Lian Zining doesn't need to worry about retaliation from those who offended him now.As long as you do your duty as a courtier, not to mention daughters and granddaughters will be more favored, and the children of Lianfu will also get more trust.

Among them, Lian Zining's character and cognition need to be mentioned. A more traditional scholar like him thinks about being loyal to the emperor and patriotism, and he is not afraid of being crushed for this.

After carefully explaining some things about Lian Zining, Zhu Yunying became more at ease.His cheap father-in-law really doesn't need to worry. He is absolutely outstanding in the field of offending people, and he can be called very reliable in his work.

It was another busy day, and Zhu Yunying was just about to go to the Qianqing Palace when Wang Chengen said, "My lord, the Supreme Emperor has an order not to go to the Qianqing Palace."

Zhu Yunying froze for a moment, and said angrily, "If you don't go, you won't go. He has a great-grandson and he doesn't want a grandson. That's just right. Let's go and see Wen Qi. That little thing should have improved a bit. Go and let the princess come over." , let's take the meal."

Naturally, Wang Chengen hurriedly received the decree. In fact, he also understood that His Royal Highness, the second son, was actually very afraid of His Majesty.Letting Her Royal Highness pass by is actually to make His Royal Highness the second son a little bit bolder, that's all.

This is not a joke, although he is not particularly concerned about His Royal Highness the second son.But Wang Chengen has always known his duty. Even if he is favored by His Majesty, he is only His Majesty's domestic servant. He must not offend His Highness, the second son of the emperor, he is also the master!

What's more, even if His Majesty seems to have a little dislike for His Royal Highness, the second son, but it is not completely indifferent.The most important thing is that the royal family is like this. At least the emperor of the Ming Dynasty attaches great importance to his heirs and does not allow any grievances.

Zhu Wenqi really didn't like eating with his father, because if he didn't behave well or said something wrong, he would definitely be scolded. Of course he didn't like such things.

But children themselves have a natural admiration for their parents, and even if they are still children now, they are more or less slowly thinking about it.

Of course Zhu Wenqi also knew that his status was special, and he knew even more that his father was the supreme being in the world.So sometimes, I will definitely want to cater to and please.Even if you can't be like the emperor brother, you should learn from the second uncle and be a happy happy prince.

"Dad!" Zhu Ruyi ran over happily, and said coquettishly, "I haven't seen Dad for a long time, and we can't sleep well thinking about Dad."

Zhu Yunying was very happy, she really was a caring little padded jacket, "Really? Just miss us that much?"

Seeing Zhu Ruyi nodding, Zhu Yunying hugged the little girl happily, and kissed Zhu Ruyi's little face fiercely, "Is it talking about missing us, coaxing us, or really missing us?"

Zhu Ruyi said, "I'm thinking about it the most, I can't sleep anymore!"

Hugging Zhu Ruyi, Zhu Yunying looked at Zhu Wenqi and asked, "Listen, your sister can't fall asleep because she thinks about us, because she is thinking about us. What about you? You are not allowed to talk like your sister, you are a man, are you What do you think of us?"

Zhu Wenqi lowered his head, pondered for a long time before faltering, "my son, my son's mind is flooded with thinking about father and emperor."

Zhu Yunying was speechless, she wanted to spoil her son more, but sometimes she had no choice!
