Daming heir

Chapter 330
Since ancient times, getting married is a far more important event than being an adult.

Especially in terms of the marriage of the prince of the country, it means that he will be able to participate in the political operation of the whole world to the maximum extent, and lead the operation of this system.

Obviously, the current Zhu Yunxi has such power.

After the big wedding on August [-]th, although Zhu Yunxi already possessed the name and power of the grandson of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, he still had to be restrained when he actually used it.

This kind of restraint comes not only from the restraint of the emperor's authority, but also from the restraint of the imperial court's official system.

And now, Zhu Yunxi after marriage.

In terms of the restraint of the court official system, it has disappeared.

Now, he is the real under-two of the Ming Dynasty.

And this kind of power structure is also based on Zhu Yuanzhang's unconditional trust in the prince and grandson.Not representative, not universal.

But the result was good. After getting married, Zhu Yunxi could control the entire court at any time, carry out political actions involving the entire Ming Dynasty, and carry out rectification actions involving the entire Ming Dynasty without involving the subversion of the imperial power of the Ming Dynasty.

After Yutian went to Liubu to deliver the message, Zhu Yunxi put down the memorial in his hand, leaned back, and slowly closed his eyes.

Zhu Yunxi, who wanted to let himself have a moment to breathe, closed his eyes but thought of the old man in the palace recently, probably because of the recent severe cold, he was still alive and vigorous one day, but he didn't think it was because of the wind and cold the next day.

Now the old man is serving the old man in the palace, and at the same time he has to take care of the court.Even though Mu Ying is doing his filial piety to Ying Tian now, after his wedding, Mu Ying has also formally served as the admiral in charge of the guards and horses in the capital, and needs to take time to take care of himself both inside and outside the palace.

Just like the Ming Dynasty in the past two years, it seems that everything is going smoothly, but everything is difficult.

After Zhu Yunxi finally drove these worries away from his mind.

Concubine Taisun's voice reached her ears again.

"I went back to the palace with my younger sister the day before yesterday. Concubine Hui and the other ladies seemed a little dissatisfied with my concubine and my younger sister's stomach has not moved yet."

Mu Caiyun, who is like a good baby, is also nodding her head crisply at this time.

Most of them muttered distressedly: "The ladies also said that when the time comes, they will each hold a great-grandson of the emperor..."

"This is nonsense, girls are joking." Zhu Yunxi opened his eyes, smiled and reached out to pat Mu Caiyun's small head.

"There is no such thing as fast. Having a baby is not cooking. It is said that the food will be cooked when the fire is lit."

……

"You can't cut off the people's salary."

"Lack of food and clothing, the local government can overcome the difficulties together and call on the local gentry to help. If such a severe winter can't even light a fire, the rich land in the south of the Yangtze River in the Ming Dynasty will be frozen to death everywhere."

"Order Shouzhou, the capital, to expedite the mining of coal. If there is not enough manpower, the guards of Fengyang will mobilize soldiers and horses to go there. Order the coal mines in Jiangnan and other places along the river to mine more coal to supply the people with fire."

On the West Chang'an Avenue, which was going to the Tongzhengshi Siyamen, a guard team of imperial guards composed of Shangzhiqin military guards, everyone held umbrellas, and walked forward with difficulty against the heavy snow all over the sky.

Among the crowd, Zhu Yunxi, who came out from the Taisun Mansion and rushed to the office of the Tongzhengshi, wanted to discuss this winter with the officials of the six departments of the imperial court, the three legal departments, and the officials of the Siyamen, and met Xie Jin who was also rushing to the Tongzhengsi's Yamen .

Zhu Yunxi held a big umbrella by himself, stepped on the snow-covered road that Ying Tianfu had no time to clean up, and said one by one to Xie Jin who was wearing a coir raincoat and holding an umbrella beside him.

The snow on Chang'an Street is very thick, and Yingtian Mansion is really short of manpower, and even the roads around the imperial city are not cleared in time.

As a result, it was very difficult for Xie Jin, a scholar of the Imperial Academy, to walk in the dignified Wenhua Hall of the Ming Dynasty.

While watching his feet, Xie Jin frowned and said: "After the first snowfall, I have already discussed this matter with the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Industry, and have already delivered the official documents of the court urgently."

"It's just that in the past two days, the entire Yingtian Mansion has been snowed heavily. I think that the entire Jiangnan area may be like this. The news is slow to be sent, and the mining of the mine may also be slow. Even if it is mined, it will take a long time to transport it to the local people. It takes a lot of time."

After finishing speaking, Xie Jin put the umbrella on his shoulders worriedly, leaned behind him, raised his head and looked at the gray mist, as if the heavenly palace was broken, and there were flying snow falling non-stop.

"When will God stop and see the sun..."

Zhu Yunxi also leaned back with the big umbrella, looked up at the gloomy God who couldn't see the way ahead, and spat silently.

Most people feel that this snow lasted for a long time in the winter of Hongwu's 27th year.

Both Zhu Yunxi and Xie Jin were in no mood to speak again, and each was thinking about how to deal with the winter snow.

Involuntarily, the two of them arrived in front of the office of the Tongzheng envoy.

At this time, the snow outside Tongzhengshi's Yamen was trampled into a thin layer because of too many footprints, but it made the soles of the shoes more slippery.

Inside and outside the Gongmen, there are quite a few government officials from various ministries gathered.

Obviously, many officials from various ministries have already arrived in the office of the General Secretary, and these servants are escorting them.

On Baihu Street in front of the Tongzhengshi Siyamen, there are more umbrellas opened one by one.

Because of the wind and snow, the umbrella surface was very low, and no one could be seen, only the umbrella surface was moving cautiously.

If the poet sees it, there will probably be countless traces of the white road on which the masterpieces were born.

Zhu Yunxi put away the umbrella, and Tian Mai, who was by his side, took it carefully.

"Young ones, see Your Highness the Grandson."

Since the guarding team from Zhu Yunxie arrived in front of the Tongzhengshi's Yamen, the servants of the various ministries who gathered under the Gongmen had already noticed.

After Zhu Yunxi put away his umbrella and showed up, these people bowed and bowed one after another.

Zhu Yunxi nodded: "Don't wait here, all go into the yamen duty room to keep warm."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Under the gate of the general secretary, there was another sound of thanksgiving.

Zhu Yunxi ignored it, stomped his feet lightly on the steps, shook off the snowflakes falling on his body, and stepped into the office of the Tongzhengshi.

After entering the Tongzhengshisi, you will arrive at the main hall of the Yamen in a few steps.

At this time, a lot of officials from various ministries and yamen had gathered in the main hall.

A gust of wind blew through, and there was a sound of gasping for air in the main hall, and then a cloud of white smoke rose among these people.

Although several charcoal stoves had been placed in the main hall, they couldn't stand the heavy snow that lasted for several days, sucking up the heat between the fields.

The appearance of Zhu Yunxi made the originally noisy main hall quiet down instantly.

"Your Majesty, please see me."

Zhu Yunxi nodded, took Xue into the hall, and looked around.

The ministers of the six departments have all come, and many officials from each department have also come. Although some people have not come yet, it probably won’t be long. At this time, a famous official is coming from outside in the snow .

Yu Xin, Shangshu of the Ministry of Households, and Wang Jun, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, stood together. Seeing the grandson of the emperor walked up to the front seat, he said in a low voice: "How is the matter of the Ministry of Industry's urging coal mining? And the capital How is the snow cleared on the official roads connecting various places?"

Wang Jun curled his lips: "I'm urging. Now there is an official document to urge picking, but there is snow everywhere outside. The official documents for urging picking used to take time, right? The people in my Ministry of Industry are all working on the snow outside the city. It’s cleared up today, and it’s piled up with snow tomorrow, what do you ask the Ministry of Industry to do?”

Yu Xin stared, but he had nowhere to vent, so he could only say sullenly: "If the Ministry of Industry doesn't clean up the official channels, how will the money and food in the big warehouse of my household department be transported out?"

Wang Jun was on the verge of going crazy for the past two days. With his chapped and purple lips, he snorted angrily, "What are the magistrates doing!"

This is impotent rage.

Yu Xin squinted at the other party, not daring to press any further.

The local officials still have no scruples about clearing the snow on the official roads under their jurisdiction, they are busy helping the victims.

Zhu Yunxi looked at the ministerial officials who had already arrived in front of him, his face was calm, he didn't say a word, just sat down silently.

Then he stretched out his hand and pressed down slightly.

"All sit down."

"Thank you, sir."

Zhai Shan, who had gradually adapted to the position of Minister of the Ministry of Officials, led the officials to bow and bow, and then took their seats one by one.

But at this time, Zhu Yunxi suddenly said: "Sit on the left side, and keep the right side."

The officials, whose buttocks were about to fall on their seats, couldn't help being taken aback for a moment, looked suspiciously at the emperor's grandson sitting above, and stood up in embarrassment.

Zhai Shan quietly glanced at the emperor's grandson, then frowned and looked at Feixue outside the main hall of the Minister of the General Administration, coughed lightly, and said to the envoy of the General Administration, Lai Zheng: "Please come to the General Administration, and buy some more for this place." Tables and chairs."

Lai Zheng is also a shrewd person, Taisun asked them to reserve a seat on the right, there must be someone who wants to come, he nodded immediately, turned around and went outside the main hall to order.

Hundreds of officials also took this opportunity to discuss in low voices.

When Laizheng made arrangements to return to the main hall, and just found a place to sit down, everyone heard the sound of iron armor coming from outside the main hall.

Everyone was shocked and turned their heads to look outside the main hall.

From Xiping Marquis Muying, Chinese Army Commander Tang Li, and Imperial Army Commander Chang Sen down, all the nobles and generals in the Five Army Commander's Mansions in Beijing are all wearing iron armor and war robes and cloaks.They are all armored in bursts, withstood the cold wind and snow, like a winter snow lion, wrapped in pieces of cold wind and walked into the main hall.

"At the end of the day, I will see His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun!"

Headed by Xiping Hou Muying, who is currently serving in Beijing and is in charge of the Jingwei, all the noble generals who stepped into the main hall knelt down on one knee neatly, performing military salutes that can only be seen in the border town army. He opened his mouth in a deep voice.

The civil servants who had already sat on the left one by one could not help but carefully moved their bodies back a little. They only felt that these military generals looked murderous today, which only made people frightened.

Seeing that Mu Ying and the others finally came, Zhu Yunxi finally showed a smile on his face: "All generals, get up and take your seats."

Mu Ying raised her head and clasped her hands in front of her body: "Thank you, the last general!"

Then Mu Yingcai led a group of honorable generals to the seats on the right according to their ranks.

After all the generals sat down, they all stretched out their limbs and legs with the big horse golden knife, all of them held their heads high and their chests upright, without looking sideways.

Minister of the Ministry of War, Ru Yuan, looked at this scene, and couldn't help but frowned.Taisun actually called the military generals to come to discuss the matter, and he, the Minister of the Ministry of War, didn't even know about it in advance.

It was just too late for the civil servants present to think about it.

Zhu Yunxi already lowered his eyebrows and said, "This snow has been falling for three or four days, and it can be predicted that this snow will continue to fall."

As he spoke, Zhu Yunxi looked around at the courtiers present.

"Your Majesty's dragon body is ill. The crown prince is serving His Majesty personally in the palace at the moment. There are many state affairs. This winter's snowfall in the south of the Yangtze River, so I asked an order to undertake it."

The emperor is selfless.

The old man's body suffered from the wind and cold, and he knew everything from inside to outside after the incident came out.

The crown prince has to take care of His Majesty, and he has to deal with more local affairs in the palace, which all the officials know.

Now that the end of the year is approaching, there has been another incident of heavy snowfall in the south of the Yangtze River. In order to take care of the palace, it can only be done by the married grandson.

Zhai Shan, as the head of court civil servants after Zhan Hui, stood up immediately: "The holy bow is sick, the prince is pure filial piety, and the grandson is benevolent. I only hope that your majesty's holy body will recover soon. I will take care of the snow this winter. Do your best not to let the people in my court suffer from the wind and snow and freeze to death for thousands of miles."

Zhai Shan expressed his opinion on behalf of the civil servants.

But Zhu Yunxi hummed: "Really?"

As soon as the words fell, he continued: "Jinyiwei has a report, the Jintan county magistrate is not effective in disaster relief, and the people have nowhere to ask for help. Jintan gentry and merchants are hiding grain and grass, intending to hoard and seek huge profits. I have made an order for Jinyiwei to arrest Jin. The county magistrate of Tan denounced the prefect of Zhenjiang Prefecture."

Zhai Shan, who was still standing under the main hall, couldn't help but his face tightened.

The matter of Xueqing had only just been discussed, and Taisun had already ordered Jin Yiwei to arrest Jintan county magistrate for questioning, the method was so sharp and the speed was so fast, he was completely ignorant, he was really shocked.

"I apologize."

After just thinking about it for a moment, Zhai Shan bowed down and apologized.

He is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and he is in charge of all the officials in the world. If something happened to the county magistrate of Jintan, he could not escape his responsibility.

After a face-to-face meeting, the General Secretary Si Zhengtang was suddenly silent, and everyone was in danger.

The county magistrate of Jintan was arrested, and the Minister of the Ministry of Officials pleaded guilty.

The emperor's grandson's first knife had already been chopped off, and no one knew whose head the next knife would fall on.

Among them, Yu Xin and Wang Jun are the most worried.

Zhai Shan had already pleaded guilty just because a damn Jintan county magistrate failed in disaster relief.

The two of them, one in charge of the household department and the other in charge of the industry department, are the yamen most related to the snow situation. One pays the money and the other works, but now because of the snow outside, the progress is slow.

If there were knives to fall from below, it was designated to fall on the heads of the two of them.

Zhu Yunxi glanced at Zhai Shan indifferently: "Not long after Zhai Shangshu first took office as an official, there are thirteen provinces and thousands of prefectures and counties in the Ming Dynasty. How can you know the whole picture? Today we don't discuss crimes, but how to deal with Xueqing and how the people of our court will behave." stable."

Zhai Shan bowed his head and said, "I thank you."

Then he returned to his position without saying a word.

Zhu Yunxi looked sideways at the direction of the generals, then turned his head and said calmly to the civil servants: "Let's discuss it, all the ministers have been ministers of the court for many years, this year's snow, what can you do?" Policy."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Yunxi calmed down silently, waiting for these people to play.

thump.

Behind the officials of the Six Departments, Three Legal Departments and Five Temples, all the officials stood up to Wei Fan during the incident.

"The Ministry of Ministers and Officials gave Wei Fan the impeachment of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households. In the current situation, the two ministries are hesitant to do things, and there are many evasions. The imperial court has a large warehouse in recent years. In recent years, the Ministry of Households does not know how to open warehouses to transfer local relief. Inspiring the hearts of the people. The Ministry of Industry controls the mountains, rivers, and seas of the world, but the official roads outside Yingtian City are struggling."

As soon as Wei Fan finished speaking, Qi Zuo, the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, stood up immediately: "Wei Fan! Your Highness just said that today we will not discuss crimes, but only the matter of Xueqing. But don’t you just disrespect the edict because of this?”

Wei Fan was not afraid at all, raised his head and looked at Qi Zhu indifferently: "Qi Shilang, did you say that you will not give advice?"

After a run.

Wei Fan turned around and looked at Zhu Yunxi above.

"Reporting to the grandson, the minister is not going to discuss the criminal household and the second department of industry, but the difficulty of the snow situation this year. The lack of governance of the household and industry department is the key to delaying the snow situation."

"My minister thinks that at the moment, we should mobilize the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Industry. The Ministry of Industry will open the way, and the Ministry of Households will transfer. The two-year-old income in the imperial court's big warehouse has already been filled. With the current snow situation, it is necessary to allocate grain and grass to the local area early to relieve the local government. In order to cheer up the hearts of the people, I tell the people that I care about the people from top to bottom, so that the snow will not turn into a disaster, and the people will turn into disasters. Under the two conditions, there will be no chaos in people's livelihood."

"Humph!"

Just as Wei Fan finished speaking, there was another cold snort in the main hall.

Jiang Yi, the servant of the Ministry of Industry, also stood up, and looked at Wei Fan coldly: "Wei Weishi is really eloquent, but now it's just the beginning of the snow, how come Wei Weishi's mouth, it has become my underworld , is going to give birth to rioters? What is Wei Jishi trying to say?"

Wei Fan is completely fearless at this moment, admonishing officials to death, seeking fame and power, and serving the country and the people.

Wei Fan really has nothing to fear about the matter of achieving both.

I saw Jiang Yi, the servant of the Ministry of Industry, who he was slanting to get up: "I have already said what I wanted to say, but Jiang Shilang, you in the Ministry of Industry, have you done what you should do? I have heard that you even Ying Tiancheng this morning. Ye Xiang is almost out of the city!"

Jiang Yi was sullen, and glared at Wei Fan: "Since the snow fell, our Ministry of Industry has dispatched people to clear the snow in and out of the city, and there are also colleagues from our Ministry of Industry on the official road who are urging the snow to clear right now.

It's Wei's fault, he just touches his lower lip here with his upper lip.You know, half of the official roads that were just cleared an hour ago will come back in an hour.

Do you want my Ministry of Industry to die of exhaustion on the official road?If this is the case, the snow on the official road can be cleared, even if I die, I will have no regrets! "

Following Jiang Yi's rebuttal, Qi Zhu joined the battle group again: "The large warehouses of the household department are full of money and grain. Since the snowfall, the household department has distributed tens of thousands of tons of grain and grass in advance to the prefectures and counties in the upper and lower rivers. In the wind and snow. All the officials and civilians in the household department have sores on their hands and feet, and most of them have cold air entering their bodies. If you don’t believe Wei, you can go to the imperial hospital to see for yourself.”

After finishing speaking, Qi Zuo waved his robe in a daze, and turned to look at the emperor's grandson above.

It's not that they didn't work hard, it's just that the snow fell too much, and Wei Fan's impeachment was unreasonable.

The Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Industry will not take this blame.

Zhu Yunxi's face was calm, just quietly watching these courtiers refute each other.

When Wei Fan stood among the crowd and stopped talking, he sneered.

"It seems that they are all working."

"only……"

Bang.

The sound of Zhu Yunxi's slapping the case alarmed all the civil and military courtiers in the main hall of the Tongzheng envoy.

"Are you going to blame God for the situation where you can't make any progress?"
