At the beginning of the civil castle, the Ming God of War was a little panicked

Chapter 242 How Are You, Your Majesty?

Zhu Qizhen suddenly discovered that the profession of emperor is actually not a good job.

It’s like reviewing memorials. I thought it was a major national event. Besides, the cabinet had read it all. I just needed to check it out and go through a formality. However, when I saw the mountain of memorials...

This is too much!
There are not one thousand, but eight hundred, just piled up in front of you, giving people a sense of visual oppression.

At this time, he began to miss his little brother.

Opening a memorial, it was sent by Luo Tong from Huailai City, and there was only one sentence on it: How are you, Your Majesty?

Zhu Qizhen was a little confused, just such a sentence, as for the last memorial?
So, he threw the memorial aside, then picked up another one, and after checking the signature, it was still Luo Tong.

This memorial does not have a greeting, but a serious matter.

It recorded the changes in Huailai City in the past two years in detail, and specifically stated that the grape industrial park has begun to take shape and will produce output next year. The problem is that the expected output is too large, and I don't know how to deal with it.

After all, grapes cannot be stored unless they are made into raisins.

Zhu Qizhen's initial plan was to build this place into a wine base. Next, he needed to find a few craftsmen who could make wine and go to Huailai to start preparations.

He picked up the pen, and while writing the reply, he murmured: "Is this guy Luo Tong confused? He just talks about things, and he has to submit a separate memorial. There is only one sentence. What does it mean?"

Wynn was waiting on the sidelines. Hearing this, he wanted to speak, but held back.

Eunuchs are not allowed to interfere in politics, Wang Zhen's lesson from the past is in front of him, it's better not to get involved in political affairs.

After Zhu Qizhen finished writing the notes, he picked up another copy, opened it, and was stunned.

Still a word: How are you, Your Majesty?

I love you sister!

Zhu Qizhen was furious all of a sudden, I'm here to review the memorials, there are hundreds of memorials piled up in front of me, how can I sometimes greet you?

Immediately afterwards, I picked up the next copy and found out...it was written by the same person!

Moreover, there is no nonsense in this memorandum, and it is dry goods when it comes up, with thousands of words eloquently, every sentence is penetrating, and the organization is very clear.

Zhu Qizhen became more and more puzzled. Seeing Wynn's hesitant expression, he asked, "Wynn, what's going on?"

Wynn smiled awkwardly, and then said cautiously: "Could it be that the emperor forgot, this is... a custom..."

"What custom?"

"It's just... since Emperor Taizu's time, the memorial of greetings and the memorial of narration are generally separated."

It was only then that Zhu Qizhen suddenly realized that there was indeed such an unwritten rule in Daming.

The matter can be traced back to the early Ming Dynasty, when there was a civil official named Ru Taisu, who had read poetry and books since childhood, was very talented, and had a unique habit of literati, that is, showing off his writing skills.

The memorials written by him often contain thousands of words, and there are many rare and obscure words, so that Zhu Yuanzhang has a headache every time he reads his memorials.

However, at that time, the Ming Dynasty was full of waste and scholars were treasures. Although Zhu Yuanzhang was reluctant, he could only endure it.

Until one time, Ru Taisu made another memorial, and Zhu Yuanzhang was too lazy to read it when he thought of those rare characters, so he ordered the scholar Wang Min to read it to him, but he couldn't finish reading it for more than an hour.

What's even worse is that Zhongshulang read more than 1 words, and Zhu Yuanzhang listened in a foggy manner, having no idea what this guy was talking about.

Finally, Comrade Zhu broke his guard: "The false words are not true, and the clever writing is not true, I hate it!"

Lao Zhu's temper, that is, he would do what he said, and he directly ordered people to call Ru Taisu into the palace and beat him up violently to relieve his anger.

The next day, after his anger subsided, he remembered the unfinished memorial, so he asked Wang Min to continue reading to him, and it took another half an hour to finish reading. It is said that the memorial had written a full ten thousand yuan. Eight thousand words.

However, Comrade Zhu is still doing practical things. Although he beat people up, the contents of the memorandum were still approved.

From then on, everyone dared not talk nonsense in the memorial, and the narrative was concise and to the point. If there was a greeting, they simply made a separate one.

Zhu Qizhen was helpless, so he picked up the memorials one by one and looked at them. There were no major problems. It was not difficult to deal with these matters, but there were too many memorials for greetings. Moreover, after reading these memorials, they had to be approved, at least Write "Got it" on the back to be done.

After writing more than a dozen "Got it" in a row, Zhu Qizhen couldn't take it anymore, and threw the greeting memorial to Wynn.

"These, you reply!"

"what?"

Wynn was naturally in a daze. He never dreamed that I still have the right to criticize memorials?
"Ah what, come here!"

Zhu Qizhen picked up another memorial, opened it, and it was still for greetings, so he threw it over, "From now on, all memorials for greetings will be answered by the supervisor of ceremonies!"

"This one……"

"What, you have a problem?"

Huai En knelt down directly and said weakly: "Emperor Taizu's last instruction, the harem and eunuchs are not allowed to interfere in politics, slaves dare not!"

Zhu Qizhen frowned and said, "If I ask you to say hello, what kind of politics is this?"

Huai En kowtowed again and again, and said excitedly: "I thank the emperor for his trust, I must work hard!"

"It's just a reply to some polite words."

Zhu Qizhen opened another memorial and saw that it was a narrative, so he had the heart to read it, and said: "If there is another memorial from the cabinet, you can help me to screen it first, and you can reply to anyone who asks how you are."

After all, it's just a hello, it doesn't matter, so just leave it to Wynn.

In the future, in this palace, we must make the best use of everything. There are so many eunuchs, many of whom can read and write. Serving people with tea and water every day is really a waste.

Zhu Qizhen sat for a whole morning, with a sore back and a sore back, and he only approved less than a hundred copies.

Wynn tried his best to pick out all the greeting memorials, roughly half of them.

Calculated in this way, there are still about 300 copies that have not been approved.

Looking at the memorials still piled up like a mountain, Zhu Qizhen secretly planned in his heart, it would not be a problem to continue like this!
Back then, when Zhu Yuanzhang was the emperor, he had to get up at three o'clock every day. After washing and eating, he started the morning court, and after the court, he began to review memorials and deal with various affairs.

Especially after the abolition of Zhongshu Province, Ming no longer has a prime minister, and all affairs, big or small, are handled by the emperor.

It is said that Comrade Zhu's diligence can kill all kinds of model workers. In addition to eating, he is working and resting for less than three hours a day.

Just imagine, let you sleep six hours a day, and work overtime the rest of the time, what is it like?
It was said that the emperor was the biggest landlord in Ming Dynasty, Lao Cai, but everyone was still sleeping, and others had already woken up to work.

Everyone has gone to bed, and people are still working.

This kind of life, I am afraid that the long-term workers of the landlord and rich family will feel ashamed if they see it!

Even Zhu Di, the emperor of Yongle, who can be called an iron man, can't bear to work overtime like this. However, the abolition of Zhongshu Province is what the old man meant, and he dare not restore it. Shangdi was in charge of political affairs, so the emperor's secretary group - the cabinet came into being.

Compared with the decision-making power, deliberative power, and administrative power possessed by Zhongshu Province, after the establishment of the cabinet, only the deliberative power is in charge, while the decision-making power is still firmly in the hands of the emperor, and the administrative power is divided into six ministries and three divisions at the local level , in charge of judiciary, military affairs, and administration, directly responsible to the Six Ministries.

In Zhu Di's conception, the cabinet is just the emperor's personal secretary, not an authority.

However, with the passage of time, in the Renxuan period, the cabinet ministers headed by Sanyang all held the position of Shangshu. Although they were in the cabinet, their titles were all respected by Shangshu.

Since then, the power of the cabinet has been increased and gradually received more attention.

When the orthodox emperor Zhu Qizhen succeeded to the throne, San Yang, as the auxiliary minister, led the entire civil servant group to rise. According to history, during the Chenghua and Hongzhi years, the cabinet had become a representative of the civil official group that could resist the imperial power.

However, since the battle of Tumubao, the arrival of another Zhu Qizhen disrupted all this.

In just two years, civil servants have been severely suppressed, and the entire imperial court has almost undergone a major shake-up.

Especially after the implementation of the New Deal, talents from all walks of life came to the fore, and some of them were not even scholars, but some highly skilled craftsmen.

As a result, the former Wenchen Group has completely collapsed.

Zhu Qizhen thought about it, let himself sit here, besides eating and sleeping, it is not a solution after a long time, not to mention whether he is tired or not, the steam engine and many other experimental workshops of new technologies are inseparable. To drive yourself, you have to think of a solution that balances both worlds.

For example... expanding the cabinet?
Retaining the imperial power, delegating most of the decision-making power to the cabinet, and transforming it into a cabinet parliamentary system, will it reduce the emperor's workload?
However, how to ensure that the power of the cabinet council has always been under the control of the imperial power has become a new problem.

From the current point of view, Cao Nai and Zhang Yi don't have such great ambitions, and the original civil servant group has disintegrated. Even if they have ideas, they don't have enough strength behind them to support them.

Needless to say, Yu Qian, there is no need to worry at all.

Next, choose three to four more people to join the cabinet to form a parliament of six to seven people, and simply put the younger brother Zhu Qiyu in and appoint him as the prime minister of the cabinet.

Then set the rules that the prime minister can only be served by the vassal king.

After all, they are all descendants of the Zhu family, so they can work harder to protect their own family...

Zhu Qiyu, who was thousands of miles away, didn't know that he had already been arranged.

At this time, he was standing on the deck of the boat, and the wet and salty sea breeze was blowing on his face, making his fair skin begin to turn vicissitudes.

This is his first time traveling far, and it is also the first time he has gone to sea.

At the moment when the treasure ship left the port, he was both hesitant and excited.

It was the first time since I grew up that I stepped out of the capital and set foot in a foreign country.

According to the memorandum sent back from Yunnan by King Jing'an, the Champa Kingdom has agreed to surrender to Ming Dynasty and is willing to surrender the control of Saigon Port. In addition, all ports of the Champa Kingdom will be open to Ming ships.

Of course, if there is a choice, Champa will not make such a big concession.

The battle on the front line is tight, if Daming doesn't send troops again, the entire Champa Kingdom may be wiped out.

Speaking of the country of Champa, it has a deep connection with Ming Dynasty.

Annan Kingdom became the territory of the Qin Dynasty when Qin Shihuang ruled the world. In the Tang Dynasty, the Annan Protectorate was set up, and then it was separated from one side and established its own political power.

The Champa Kingdom was first built by the Zhan people, who worshiped gods such as Shiva and Vishnu, and adopted the caste system. During the Qin and Han Dynasties, it was Xianglin County, also known as Linyi.In the Western Han Dynasty, it belonged to Rinan County of the Cochin Governor's Department. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Cham people killed the magistrate of Xianglin County of Rinan County in the Han Dynasty, separated from the Central Plains regime, and established the Champa Kingdom.

The location of this piece of land is very superior, and it is a veritable land of fish and rice. The rice here can be triple-cooked, and the grain production is extremely high. The war between Annan and Champa continued to consume the national power of Champa. Today, it is facing the threat of national subjugation.

In a sense, the two small foreign countries both come from the Central Plains regime, and they can be regarded as having the same root. However, due to the relative weakness of Champa, Annan has been chasing and beating them for thousands of years.

There is no other way. Annan wants to expand, so he can only look to Champa in the south.

You can't go north to conquer Daming, right?

At this time, the Annan Kingdom had already occupied half of the land of Champa, and the army pressed down to the city of Sangha Bhara.

Judging from the current situation, it is hard to say how long the city can last.

It is very likely that when he wakes up tomorrow, Annan's army will be in front of him.

In desperation, King Champa sent a distress letter to the neighboring Chenla Kingdom. As a result, Chenla Kingdom said that you beat me very hard at the beginning, but now I didn’t beat you with Annan. You still want to find I send troops to rescue you?
Just kidding!

In the end, Champa pinned its last hope on Daming, and sent a princess as a secret envoy.

The conditions offered by Daming are not too harsh, asking you for a port is not too much, right?

After getting a clear answer, Zhang Fu assembled [-] soldiers and horses, with Duke Qian as the vanguard, and advanced from Yunnan to Annan.

However, at the border between the two countries, there are high mountains and dense forests, the formation cannot be deployed, and the march is very slow.

An Nanguo had received the news and sent an army to stop the Ming army in the north.

However, when they didn't know it, the real trump card was not the hundred thousand troops, but the fleet at sea.

The three treasure ships, plus a supply ship, are not large in scale, but they carry a lot of new firearms on board.

The Shenji Battalion was led by Lord Yasukuni Chen Ying, and was divided into three main battalions, several special teams, and a logistics support group.

The first battalion is a heavy artillery battalion, with a total of 350 people, equipped with [-] heavy-duty Flying Tiger Cannons.

The second and third battalions are light artillery battalions, each battalion has 400 people, a total of 800 people, equipped with [-] light flying tiger cannons.

There are also various special operations teams such as assault teams and engineering teams, as well as logistics support teams, which add up to 2000 people in total.

The fleet traveled across the ocean, and it took a month before finally arriving in Champa.

PS: Push the book "Da Ming: Family Ancestor Zhu Chongba"

When I woke up, I became the grandson of the emperor. I wanted to eat and wait to die, and be a happy prince.

Unexpectedly, the stepmother is cruel and the elder brother is brainless.

In order not to die young, we can only work hard.

Unexpectedly, by accident, Da Ming was brought to the point where the sun never sets!
