Brother Zhu Youxiao

Chapter 13 The number of terrifying liao sounds
"I understand..."

Seeing what Zhu Youjian said, Lu Wenzhao also breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as Zhu Youjian supports him, there will be almost no threat from Luo Sigong's side, and he only needs to lead the [-] people in Nanzhen Fusi, and then slowly expand.

He could see that His Royal Highness needed more than six hundred people.

"His Royal Highness Xuan Wu enters the palace~~~"

Suddenly, a familiar figure appeared at the gate of Qianqing Gate, and Wei Jinzhong spoke to Zhu Youjian with a high voice.

Seeing Zhu Youjian looking at him, this guy showed a flattering smile.

"I'll go in first, remember what I said."

Zhu Youjian was calm, and didn't care about his good brother's concern for the Ke family.

He confessed to Lu Wenzhao, and walked towards the gate of Qianqing Palace. The Jingjun on both sides of the palace gate were facing him. He didn't care but glanced at Wei Jinzhong, and said loudly:

"Since Brother Huang has given you a chance, you must make good use of it. You and Wang Zhangyin will take care of some matters in the inner court. Don't let something that is not good for Brother Huang happen again."

"Your maidservant knows, thank you, Your Highness, for reminding me." As he spoke, Wei Jinzhong flattered Zhu Youjian to lead the way, and was not hostile to him.

In the final analysis, he is just relying on an old dog of Keshi now.

Zhu Youxiao may care about Hakka's feelings, but if Wei Jinzhong dares to put on airs in front of Zhu Youjian, Zhu Youjian can definitely ask Lu Wenzhao to beat this guy to death on the spot.

But it's not necessary, he wants to keep Wei Jinzhong, he needs someone to take the blame for what he's going to do in the future, and Wei Jinzhong is obviously a good candidate.

In this way, under the guidance of Wei Jinzhong, he set foot on the palace road of Qianqing Palace again, but this time all the eunuchs of Qianqing Palace were replaced by eunuchs of East Palace.

"Donggong eunuch, you transferred here?"

Zhu Youjian walked in front, and asked absently, and Wei Zhongxian, who walked half behind him, also flattered:
"It was the servants who came here. Kebaba said that the inner court was not safe, so the servants were transferred here."

"Well, pay more attention to Concubine Li Kang and Concubine Zheng." Zhu Youjian responded, and stopped asking other questions, and they also walked to the gate of Qianqing Palace.

But to his embarrassment, standing at the gate of the palace, what he saw was Zhu Youxiao with his back turned to him, wearing a thin-sleeved shirt as the base layer.

At this moment, he was planing wood against a wood that was placed on a stool, and the expensive dry Qing palace floor tiles were covered with scraps of cheap wood.

"Brother Emperor?"

Zhu Youjian sorted out his mood, and shouted at Zhu Youxiao, who was called the carpenter emperor.

I never thought that when Zhu Youxiao turned around, he would hold a plane in one hand and a memorial in the other.

"Brother is here? Come quickly, help me to read this memorial."

Zhu Youxiao smiled at Zhu Youjian, greeted him by the way, and urged him by waving the memorial in his hand.

Zhu Youjian didn't even expect that his good brother could plan wood with one hand and deal with memorials with the other.

In fact, Zhu Youjian was also biased by some Internet public opinion in later generations.

History’s evaluation of Zhu Youxiao, author Du Chebieyi, and public opinion have always given him the impression that Zhu Youxiao is probably an emperor who can only be a carpenter, and he is still illiterate. Apart from being a carpenter, his favorite things are eating, drinking and having fun.

However, this is not the case for Zhu Youxiao in "Records of Emperor Xizong of Ming Dynasty". In the memoirs, there are many records of Zhu Youxiao's lectures in the Royal Wenhua Palace, and there are endless books about his personal comments on military and state affairs.

Judging from the truly serious historical data, Zhu Youxiao has a high level of education and a clever mind. Many of his opinions on military affairs and employment are often better than those of his subordinates.

Most people have the impression that Zhu Youxiao ignored the government because he was a carpenter, and he got it from the Qing Dynasty Wang Shizhen's "Chibei Odd Talk":
"An old palace supervisor said: 'Ming Xizong was good at making small pavilions in the palace. He didn't let go of the axe, and the carvings were exquisite. Every time Wei Zhongxian waited for the emperor to make a feast, he played it with the chapters of various ministries, and the emperor used it. He said: "You look good, don't deceive me. Therefore, the power of eunuchs is increasing day by day, but the emperor does not realize it.""

However, the source of Wang Shizhen's "Chi Bei Ou Tan" should come from the book "Zhuo Zhong Zhi" written by Ming eunuch Liu Ruoyu during the Chongzhen period.

The original text of "Zhuo Zhongzhi" is: "The first emperor was fond of galloping horses, watching martial arts shows, and excellent water shows, using big wooden barrels, big copper vats, etc..."

"When he chops and cuts with a knife, he unravels and conquers the rocks. Those who are not close to him are not allowed to peep, or there are documents that are closely related to this chapter, body work, etc., while managing trivial matters, and at the same time listening attentively."

"After the invitation from all the officials, Yuyin said immediately: 'You guys go with your heart, I know.'"

It can be seen from this that Zhu Youxiao is ingenious, good at mechanical design, and proficient in the manufacture of architectural furniture. It is a fact that he has a genius in this area, but it is just a rumor that Zhu Youxiao ignores the government in order to be a carpenter. Afterwards, the distortion of the facts.

In December of the first year of Tianqi, Ye Xianggao, the chief assistant of the cabinet, once told Colonel Zhu You:

"My majesty is very clever, and when the court comes, he is really a diligent and studious master. But today's trial court is a set of numbers and documents, and has nothing to do with political affairs. The daily lectures are limited, and the time is limited, and I may not be able to understand them. The subtlety of righteousness, the gains and losses of ancient and modern politics."

That is to say, Ye Xianggao also admitted that Tianqi is very diligent, often goes to court, and often listens to lectures, but he is also worried that Zhu Youxiao will retreat to the deep palace like Wanli and Jiajing, wasting time.

However, when he saw that Zhu Youxiao would review the memorials during the rest of the inner court, he would often send an order to explain that Zhu Youxiao was very careful about state affairs even in the palace.

After Zhu Youxiao retired to the deep palace, he did not abandon the government, but he was too lazy to go to court.

After all, in terms of the political situation in the late Ming Dynasty, going to court was to watch a group of people quarrel, and at the end of the quarrel, they couldn't think of a solution to the matter.

It's better to deal with the government directly in the deep palace, and make an order if you feel that the matter is OK, and change to a more obedient cabinet if it is rejected by the cabinet.

Therefore, even if Zhu Youjian is somewhat familiar with the history of the late Ming Dynasty, as a person who needs to work, he cannot read "Ming Shilu" and "Ming History" every day.

He only remembers big things, and it is difficult to remember small personal things.

Seeing Zhu Youxiao asking his opinion, he also stepped forward to take a look.

[The Ministry of Households played the Liaodong New Salary from the leap April of the [-]th year of Wanli to the September of the first year of Taichang. A total of [-] taels was issued. [-] taels, and [-] taels on each of the other sides. Please send money to reward the soldiers and horses of the eleven towns along the nine sides. 】

This memorial is very novel. Of course, Zhu Youjian is not referring to its content, but its style, which is actually traditional mixed with simplified characters.

"I didn't expect the operation of writing simplified characters on official documents in the Ming Dynasty, but there is a little difference between the simplified characters and the simplified characters of later generations..."

After sighing the memorabilia shared by both simplified and traditional characters, Zhu Youjian paid attention to the content.
