I want to be a grandson

Chapter 368
Although Ru Yu felt it was inappropriate regarding the matter of the soldiers and horses of the Shenji Battalion, he didn't get too entangled.

Because according to the current situation, the Shenji Battalion only has a few thousand soldiers and horses. It would be unwise to hold on to this at this time.

Besides, there was a precedent in the Tang Dynasty. If the emperor's grandson is willing, he will definitely let His Majesty make a decree to restore the East Palace Six Rates easily!
In that case, how can I stop myself?

You must know that this is the early Ming Dynasty, not the middle and late Ming Dynasty. The imperial power is declining, and it can be manipulated by others!

Zhu Yuanzhang is a domineering emperor, and the current officials of the six imperial courts dare not oppose the emperor on this issue!
And the emperor grandson in front of him is not a good person!

If anyone wants to find discomfort on him, he will definitely fight back!

So after talking for a long time, Ru Yu finally said: "I still feel that the [-] troops of the Shenji Battalion are too many, far exceeding the demand."

"As for what His Highness said, the issue of restoring the Six Rates of the East Palace, Daming has not yet established a system. What should be done should be left to the court and His Majesty to decide, but I think it is unnecessary..."

Seeing that the other party was relieved, Zhu Yunxi also got off the donkey, "Ru Butang is a loyal person, and he is experienced in handling the affairs of the Ministry of War. In the future, I will ask Butang to answer questions."

"Your Highness, you are welcome..."

After a pause, Ru Yu pondered over and over in her heart, and then slowly said: "Your Highness, I heard that Xu Huizu led the troops to Shandong, and Yang Jing, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, and the right governor of the Inspectorate were also going there. Shi Caoming, I don't know if this happened?"

Zhu Yunxi was a little surprised and said, "Ru Butang found out so soon?"

Ru Yu was at a loss for words at once, so she could only say: "Your Highness, let's not talk about the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, one of the six ministries of the imperial court has left, and there is also the Censor of the Inspectorate. How could I not know about such a big matter?" Woolen cloth."

The point is that these two are really important!

The Six Departments of the imperial court plus the Inspectorate, also known as the Seven Departments, left two leaders at once. Could this be a small move?

Zhu Yunxi nodded, and said calmly: "Don't be busy with the Ministry, they are indeed going to Shandong, and some cases require them to investigate in person, so as not to make mistakes."

Ru Yuan bowed and said, "Your Highness, may I ask you to investigate the case of Kong's family?"

Zhu Yunxi glanced at him, and said calmly: "Exactly, what advice does the Master have?"

"I don't dare, but the soldiers at the pass reported that someone from the palace was ordered to go to Quzhou, and they also took the survey from the palace. I don't know if it is true or not?"

"Your Ministry of War is really well-informed, yes, it's true!"

Ru Yu took a deep breath, knelt down on the ground and saluted,
He solemnly said: "Your Highness, no matter what crimes the Kong family has committed or how many faults they have committed, the title of Duke Yan Sheng can only be retained in Beizong. Please think again, Your Highness!"

Zhu Yunxi frowned, stood up and said: "Ru Butang please get up quickly, why do you have to perform such a big ceremony, get up and talk!"

Ru Yu still knelt on the ground, and said with a worried face: "Your Highness, Duke Yan Sheng must not leave the Northern Sect, this matter is no small matter, once the people of the Southern Sect get the title of Duke Yan Sheng, something will happen! "

Ru Xun is a smart person, based on Zhu Yunxi's actions, he guessed what he was going to do.

After all, the people sent by Zhu Yunxi to Shandong are too important. Since these important figures are on stage, there must be a highlight!
Coupled with sending people to the Southern Sect of the Kong family, it is not too difficult to guess!

Zhu Yunxi felt a little displeased, but he didn't show it on his face, he just asked, "Let's talk when you have something to say, Ma He, get up."

Ma He, who was waiting on the sidelines, came forward, subdued Ru Xun, and then stepped aside.

Li Fu was very winking, and had already sent out all the maids and eunuchs in the Wenhua Palace, so there was no one else in the hall.

Ru Yu took a deep breath and said, "Your Highness, Duke Yan Sheng is not only honoring the Kong family from the imperial court, but also comforting the northern scholars and wealthy families..."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yunxi's heart suddenly brightened, and he hurried forward two steps and said: "Ru Butang, please sit down and talk!"

Ma and Li Fu moved the chair behind Zhu Yunxie, and Zhu Yunxie sat down, because if he didn't sit down, it would be rude for a courtier to sit down.

After Ru Yuan sat down, she said worriedly: "Your Highness, since most of the ruling forces in the Mongol and Yuan Dynasties were concentrated in the north, this also caused great damage to the population and financial resources in the north.
His Majesty ordered the relocation of the people several times, just to fill the vacancies in these areas..."

"In recent years, the greatest enemy of the imperial court has been the Mongolian forces in the north. Many soldiers and horses have also been mobilized from the north, and most of the property, food, weapons, etc. consumed are also from the northern forces.

This has resulted in a situation in which Jiangnan has been peaceful for a long time, while the north has been in constant fire and unrest, which is inferior to Jiangnan in all aspects. "

Ru Yu said solemnly: "His Royal Highness, scholars in the south are from wealthy families, they can study at ease, and their knowledge is generally better than those in the north."

"Your Highness, if you give the name of Duke Yan Sheng to the Southern Sect of the Kong family in Quzhou, Jiangnan, the scholars in the south of the Yangtze River will cheer for joy, and the scholars in the north will also be dejected and lose hope..."

"At that time, the strong in the south will become stronger, and the weak in the north will become weaker. At that time, there will inevitably be a huge gap between the scholars in the north and the south. This is not good for the country. Please think twice, Your Highness!"

Zhu Yunxi took a deep breath, and said solemnly: "Ru Butang's words are old-fashioned, thank you for your words!"

What Ru Chang said, I really neglected it!

Last year, there was also a dispute between North and South scholars. How could I forget the conflict between North and South so quickly!
What Ru Yu said is quite right, northern scholars are weaker in learning, and in the imperial examinations, compared with southern students, they are the targets of being crushed!
If the name of Duke Yansheng is taken away from the north and given to the south, the scholars in the north will definitely be extremely dissatisfied!
You must know that those who can't afford to read in this era have some financial resources at home, so on the surface, some scholars are competing for it.

But behind this, there is a dispute between the aristocratic families in the north and the south and the rich and gentry!
The imperial court must have a bowl of water on an equal footing, and must not be biased towards any side, and even lean towards the north when necessary, so as to achieve a balance!

If the soldiers and scholars in the north felt that Ming Dynasty was targeting them and did not regard them as their own, what would be the result?
Criticism!

Seriously, it is likely to cause a rebellion!

At the lowest level, there will be hostility between the North and the South, which will not only affect the implementation of imperial policies, but also cause party disputes!
Seeing that His Highness the Emperor Taisun had understood, Ru Yu suddenly felt that a big stone in her heart had finally fallen to the ground.
"I don't dare to be a humble minister, just some heartfelt words, don't spit out fast, please don't blame your Highness!"

Zhu Yunxi said: "Ru Butang's words are serious, please rest assured, the Butang, this king has no intention of bestowing the name of Duke Yansheng on the southern sect of the Kong family..."

Of course Zhu Yunxi thought so, but he won't admit it now!
It's one thing to think about it, another to do it!

How can you easily admit your mistakes when you are in charge!

However, Zhu Yunxi did not intend to let the Confucian family in Qufu go. They have done so many evil things and must pay the price!

And it was an extremely heavy price!

"Ru Butang, this king is going to choose some dignified people from the north to give them official positions and let them serve the court. What do you think?"

Ru Yu knew that His Highness would not give up if he did not deal with the Kong family!
The purpose of choosing a northerner to serve as an official is to appease the hearts of the people in the north!If the Kong family is not dealt with severely, is there any need to appease them?
Although worried in her heart, Ru Yu still said: "Your Highness, I think this is a very appropriate move, but it is best for Your Highness to maintain the original state while being kind to the teacher..."

But Zhu Yunxi shook his head and said: "Ru Butang, to tell you the truth, if it has been corrupted to the root, then you must go to great lengths to get rid of the filth, otherwise it will become a disaster in the end."

"Ugh……"

Ru Yuan sighed, saluted and said, "I just ask His Highness to be merciful and consider the hearts of the people in the north."

Zhu Yunxi nodded in satisfaction, and said: "I used to hear that, for the sake of the public and not for personal gain, Ru Butang is also from the south of the Yangtze River, but he can jump out of the shackles of the south of the Yangtze River and consider the world. He is indeed a role model for all officials!"

"Thank you for your praise, Your Highness, I am really ashamed to be stupid..."

Ru Yu had great ambitions when she was young, intelligent and eager to learn, she had a vivid memory of Tang poetry and Song Ci, she could memorize poems from thousands of families at the age of six, she was familiar with "University" and "The Doctrine of the Mean" at the age of ten, she entered Taixue at the age of 16, and later studied with Donggong.

He is not a down-and-out scholar like Lu Xiucai, but a proper child prodigy!
And this year he is only 35 years old, he is in the prime of life, a winner in life!

Ru Yu is from Zaojiang, Hengshan, which is now Zaoshan Village, Shiwan Township, Hengdong County, Hunan Province.

According to the division of regions, he is a real southerner, but for the sake of Daming, he refused to let Yan Shenggong's name fall in the south,

The loyalty in it is indeed commendable!

No wonder Zhu Yuanzhang appreciated him very much. Every time he called Ru Yuan, he said that he was a sage and gentleman.

He also awarded the Iron Coupon Dan Book of "one person from China and foreign countries, the mainstay", exempting him from taxes on fields, ponds and gardens.

Later, he was given a stamp of "Correction of Corruption".The next order is to build a Gongyuan Square outside the south gate of Hengshan City.

It is enough to show his loyalty and character!
