Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 43 The feasibility of “sending some people down”

In the seventeenth year of Hongwu's reign, in late spring, the capital city was overlooked from the sky. Half of the city was filled with wind and fluff, and the Xuanwu Lake in the distance was dotted with golden light, like an elegant ink painting, extremely beautiful.

Kunning Palace.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, Empress Ma ordered two deck chairs to be moved and placed on the blue brick floor on the steps, and she and Zhu Yuanzhang lay together and looked at the sky.

Zhu Yuanzhang was obviously not as nervous as when he heard the news about the Little Ice Age. In fact, after making plans, his recent focus was on the court. Since the empty seal case shook the court like a thunder, After clearing away a group of silverfish, he became more determined to reform the government.

Civil servants are all scoundrels. If they don't keep a close eye on them, they will think of being greedy and slippery.

Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang carried out two important institutional reforms this year. One was the reform of the official system of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. The long-standing censorship system was obviously a good way to conduct supervision. Zhu Yuanzhang could not completely trust the Jinyiwei, so he strengthened the powers of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. It became a matter of course.

This change is not only to strengthen the supervision of the central government and local courtiers, but also to ensure that the imperial power has access to more channels of information, so as to prevent the civil servants from deceiving the superiors and concealing the secrets, and then make false seals.

The other item is the redefinition and promulgation of the procedures for selecting scholars through the imperial examination. If the rectification of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is to supervise the civil service group and to monitor those who have already "come on board," then the purpose of selecting scholars through the imperial examination is to first But people who have already received the tickets will go through the "ticket check".

Zhu Yuanzhang felt that only in this way could he select those who were truly talented and virtuous, and screen out the unqualified ones, thereby injecting a stream of fresh air into the court, and allowing these unpolluted talents to jointly assist him in governing these thousands of miles of rivers and mountains.

Empress Ma suddenly asked: "Your Majesty, there has been a lot of discussion before the court about the radio station experiment. I wonder what the response will be?"

"Sister, this radio station is really a magic weapon! The longest distance test was carried out a few days ago, and the news from Yunnan, four thousand miles away, was instantly transmitted. Our adopted son Mu Ying sent us greetings and reported on the military situation of quelling the local rebellion. The courtiers are all amazed that with this kind of artifact, we will be able to control the world more easily, and we no longer have to worry about anyone deceiving us."

Zhu Yuanzhang's beaming expression seemed to let Queen Ma see his full lofty ambitions when he was young and galloping on the battlefield.

Empress Ma nodded slightly, with a soft smile on her lips: "All this is thanks to our eldest grandson. Our eldest grandson's ability is truly unparalleled."

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed heartily, his eyes full of relief and unconcealable pride: "Yes, our Ming Dynasty has such help that is almost God's help, so why not worry about it?"

"It's just that the Little Ice Age thing is a bit worrying after all." Of course Queen Ma also knew about this matter, so she said.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who had been quite anxious before, now comforted her: "It doesn't matter, as the saying goes, there must be a road for cars to reach the mountains, and for ships to reach the bridge, it will be straight. Since we have made preparations, less rice will be planted in the north. We also asked the Ministry of Household Affairs to allocate funds to build canals and dams. At the very least, our ability to withstand natural disasters will be greatly enhanced. We will wait for the news from Dasun for the rest."

At this time, a eunuch hurriedly came to report: "Your Majesty, the radio station in Wulou is ringing! It is said that the Yin and Yang Qihai on Zhongshan Saint Sun Altar has been turned on again. Your Majesty, please make a decision."

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, his eyes flashed, and he stood up immediately: "Okay! Get the car ready, we have to go right away."

However, Zhu Yuanzhang did not notify others.

In fact, since the two mysterious heavenly messages of the "Kongyin" and the "Little Ice Age" were transmitted, Zhu Yuanzhang has been particularly wary of the matter of the Holy Sun Altar, because Zhu Yuanzhang realized that there are some things that no one may know. It's also possible that everyone is hiding it from him.

Therefore, it is very important to keep this mysterious secret information confidential and exclusive to him, because some mysterious secret information is often related to the national destiny of the Ming Dynasty. Even the princes of the country are best not to let them know at the first time. If you need anything What they know, they just relay it themselves.

Empress Ma also stood up from the recliner, gently adjusted Zhu Yuanzhang's dragon robe, and whispered: "If there is nothing Ying'er can do about the Little Ice Age, then she will hide the news completely."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and took a deep look at Queen Ma: "Don't worry, we have our own sense of proportion."——————

Soon Zhu Yuanzhang led a group of people and hurried to the Altar of Saint Sun in Zhongshan.

However, this time was quite different from the past. No matter what Zhu Yuanzhang said, the Yin and Yang Qihai in the altar showed no response, which made Zhu Yuanzhang a little worried.

"Could it be that Dasun is fighting over there? Is there any danger?"

As soon as he thought of this, Queen Ma's previous words resurfaced in Zhu Yuanzhang's mind.

Do you want to send some people down to help Da Sun fight the war?

You must know that the Ming Dynasty has a tradition of martyrdom. It is not difficult to find warriors who are loyal and good at fighting and not afraid of death. In other words, all the Xiaoling Guards are such people.

Therefore, the difficulty has never been whether there are people, but whether it can be sent.

The previous matters were relatively urgent, and there were many things to ask, so Zhu Yuanzhang did not conduct any tests in this area. He only knew that dead objects could definitely be sent over.

Now Zhu Yuanzhang is planning to test whether Yin Yang Qi Hai can pass through living creatures.

However, it was meaningless for Zhu Yuanzhang to do this kind of test by himself. He had to give feedback from Zhu Xiongying on the other side before he knew whether the living creature could be sent over.

But unfortunately, as time passed, there was no response from the other side of Yin Yang Qi Hai.

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and his eyes lingered on the sea of ​​yin and yang for a long time.

It was still like this until the moon rose. Zhu Yuanzhang was disappointed and worried, but waiting here was not an option. Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered Jiang Wei to lead people to watch here, and he went to Xiaolingwei's camp to rest. If there was any movement , and asked Jiang Wei to wake him up immediately.

It was a peaceful night, but Zhu Yuanzhang didn't sleep well.

Because Zhu Yuanzhang was always worried about sudden news, he stayed up for a long time before falling asleep. However, he didn't know how long he fell asleep when a rush of footsteps broke the tranquility of the camp.

"His Majesty!"

Jiang Wei's voice rang in his ears: "There is movement in the Yin Yang Qi Sea!"

Zhu Yuanzhang opened his eyes suddenly, a hint of surprise flashed across his tired face. He put on his clothes and walked out of the camp quickly, came to the altar of Shengsun Altar and asked the question he was most concerned about.

"Ying'er, do you have a solution to the Little Ice Age?"

After asking this question, Zhu Yuanzhang's heartstrings tightened. He was really afraid of hearing a negative answer. If the great grandson couldn't do anything, then the Ming Dynasty would probably die!
