Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 228 Becoming Emperor From Today
In the Fengtian Hall, the person sitting on the dragon chair is no longer the burly old man who put a lot of pressure on civil and military officials, and is no longer the master of Xiongchai who makes many people feel breathless.Just don't underestimate this heroic young man sitting on the dragon chair, he is not so easy to handle, he is definitely a new emperor with ambitions.

Zhu Yunying sat on the dragon chair in a court dress, looking down at the officials.Even though Lao Zhu would still give him some pointers occasionally, Zhu Yunying was used to handling some things by himself, and felt that such things were not too difficult for him.

In the final analysis, it was like this in the past. In the past, Zhu Yunying dealt with political affairs first, and then handed them over to Lao Zhu for review.

Looking at the ministers, Zhu Yunying said slowly, "There are so many things going on these days, and it's time to report the audits and criticisms of various ministries."

There are many things at the end of the year, and with the abdication of Lao Zhu and the ascension of the new emperor, many central departments really have no way to revolve around some political affairs.Zhu Yunying is also very clear, so now remind these people that it is time to do political affairs.

The ministers responded immediately, "I will obey the order."

Zhu Yunying smiled, and then said, "I am a newcomer to the Great Treasure, but I have experienced a lot of experience in political affairs over the years. Many decisions made before the Supreme Emperor abdicated should also be implemented in an orderly manner, and the ministries must not shirk or slack off."

This moment completely extinguished the luck in some people's hearts. They originally wanted to say something while the new emperor ascended the throne.For example, about moving the capital, I hope the new emperor can stop it.Even these things, many people know that the possibility of success is very small.

But it's good now, the direct hope is completely shattered, the new emperor is pushing everything to the Supreme Emperor.If you want to stop it, it is disrespectful.At that time, don't talk about the anger of the new emperor, even the Supreme Emperor will not be able to deal with it.

Xiao Gui Cao Sui, it seems that the new emperor did not intend to go to war immediately when he ascended the throne, and it seems that he continued the policies of the Supreme Emperor's period in a relatively steady manner, which has some policy continuity.

If Zhu Yunying chooses drastic reforms, it is understandable. After all, this is also the new emperor's enthronement to change some policies and use the New Deal to establish some sense of existence. Naturally, there is no problem.

It's just that if Zhu Yunying doesn't change the policy, there will be no problem. The policy has continuity, which can allow the government and the opposition to pass smoothly.What's more, some people think that even if the new emperor ascends the throne, the existence of the Supreme Emperor cannot be ignored. This is something that must be considered.

It seems that the overall atmosphere has not changed in the early court, but everyone is now discussing the triennial imperial examination, the first examination after the new emperor ascended the throne.The two rankings in the North and the South are also controversial to many people, and they also find it a little difficult to understand.

After thinking carefully for a long time, Zhu Yunying finally proposed that Ru Yu should be the chief examiner.

Now Ru Yu is serving as the left servant of the Ministry of Officials, but acting as the secretary.This time, it can be regarded as asking Ru Yu to investigate these students, to see if this subject can find a few young people with a little bit of potential to train them.

Naturally, this is also paving the way for Ru Yu to serve as Minister of the Ministry of Officials in a good name.Zhu Yunying's eldest uncle, Mei Yin, and younger uncle, Liu Qi, served as the deputy examiners.

Such a configuration is luxurious enough. Ru Yu is now the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and she is smart and eager to learn. At the age of 16, the local government, prefecture, and county selected outstanding students to be sent to the Imperial College according to the plan.What's more, everyone knows that this is Jinshang's companion reading, and many people think that Ru Xun is Jinshang's confidant and No. 1 of civil servants.

As for Mei Yin, needless to say, the emperor's favorite son-in-law, who came from an honorable background, is proficient in classics and history, and he also once served as a political scholar in Shandong.As for Liu Yu, directly speaking, he is Liu Bowen's grandson, and his family background is still very good.

Many people think that if a scholar in this subject is promising, he will be able to make his mark very soon.After all, this is the first scholar of the new emperor's enthronement. Relatively speaking, he will pay more attention to them and will take care of these people.

But in the final analysis, it still needs to see if these people have talents, to see if these people have real materials.

Zhu Yunying was not particularly worried about this. There was no shortage of talented people in the current Ming Dynasty. For those people, what was actually lacking was opportunities.If there are more opportunities, maybe some people can quickly become important officials of the court.

After going to court, Zhu Yunying went straight to Wuying Hall, where he still needed to handle government affairs.Naturally, there are not many opportunities for him to rest. For him, he still needs to prepare for his own affairs.There are still many things to do when the new emperor ascends the throne.

In particular, some posts from various "big border officials" came to pay their respects, and talked about some memorials from the guards in various places, which Zhu Yunying needed to deal with.Obviously, he really can't sit still now, and he needs to straighten out more things now.

If you want to talk about reforms and so on at this time, this is simply a fantasy, which is very unrealistic.

Lao Zhu came here with a smile on his face. Although he could tease his great-grandson, but with Lao Zhu's temperament, he definitely couldn't stay idle.Although he is too emperor now, it doesn't mean that he really doesn't care about anything.What's more, Lao Zhu also understands that Zhu Yunying must be busy now, and he knows that many things are backlogged together.

Zhu Yunying raised his head and said to Old Zhu, "Grandson has confirmed the chief examiner for the examination today."

"We heard about it." Lao Zhu nodded with a smile, and then joked, "Ying'er is willing to give the bait this time, using your people and your uncle to fish. This time, many people may be fooled .”

Zhu Yunying laughed and said, "Otherwise, how could the matter be made a big deal?!"

Lao Zhu stroked his short beard, and said earnestly, "Ying'er, although you are the emperor, it's just that you have to be careful about these things. Don't make too much trouble. It's not a good thing to have no way to end at that time. "

"I know, my grandson has never thought of abolishing Confucianism, and I can't abolish it at all." Zhu Yunying did not hide his thoughts, and said, "Some Confucian ideas are still beneficial to us, and some ideas are indeed engraved by ordinary people. It's deep down. It's just that Sun'er wants to suppress Confucianism, and Sun'er's new learning is in progress."

Old Zhu got angry when he mentioned this, and said angrily, "Your new study, how many craftsmen and blacksmiths you have recruited in Beiping, and how many people with strange skills and prostitution are there, let you keep them!"

This made Zhu Yunying excited, and said, "Grandpa Huang shouldn't have said that, those craftsmen of his grandson are still useful. After all these years, they have indeed done a lot of things."

After thinking about it carefully, Lao Zhu felt that there might be such a truth, but he still looked down on some craftsmen like many old-fashioned feudalists, and he didn't realize the importance of some things.

The warships and ocean-going merchant ships of Ming Dynasty, after nearly 15 years of development by Zhu Yunying, not to mention the overall scale has surpassed that of the Song Dynasty.But in terms of some big warships, the performance of a single ship is still beyond.This is the progress of science and technology and shipbuilding technology, and it is also because Zhu Yunying attaches great importance to ocean-going warships and merchant ships.

Soldiers, grain and grass shipped to Korea, and silver shipped back from Dongying.The merchant ships that were continuously dispatched to the Nanyang region also brought back jewelry, spices, etc., and the ocean routes of Ming Dynasty were relatively prosperous.In the future, it will definitely become more and more prosperous.The places where these merchant ships go will definitely become farther and farther away.

After all, there are quite a few Jinyiwei spies in the ranks of these merchant ships, collecting information about the surrounding countries, and they are also constantly collecting some routes, waterways, etc. The exploration of the ocean has just begun.

Zhu Yunying had vigorously promoted cotton in the north before, which gave the frontier army more supplies to keep out the cold.At this time, naturally, some textile technology progress was also promoted.Including the vigorously promoted coal. Although briquettes are sometimes harmful, they can indeed warm many people. The advantages must outweigh the disadvantages.

Zhu Yunying sometimes regrets that he can't make guns, but he knows better that he is the monarch of this country.There are many things that he doesn't need to do by himself or do public relations. He just needs to formulate policies and consciously guide Daming to vigorously develop science and technology. That's enough. His resources are the entire country.

If there is no such thing as basic science in Chinese history, it is not enough.It's just that compared with Europe, the inheritance and systematization of basic science are slightly worse.The excessive emphasis on liberal arts and Confucianism is also why some science and technology seem to develop relatively slowly.

In fact, today's Ming Dynasty, it can even be said that in the history of China, science and technology have always been leading.It's just that many good things have not formed a certain system and have not formed a certain inheritance.

Gewu, this can be regarded as some of Zhu Yunying's attention.What he needs now is not only some craftsmen, but also some scholars of basic science, some scientists who are willing to delve into these.The Four Books and Five Classics, reciting poems and painting are all irrelevant. The elegance of a scholar is elegant, but those who only know the Four Books and Five Classics must not be allowed to occupy the court.

Zhu Yunying was carefully talking about some of his ideas with Lao Zhu, and he didn't expect to see the big explosion of science, the industrial revolution, etc. immediately.But plant the seeds now and you may reap pleasant surprises and surprises.

At least Zhu Yunying felt that many things started to change from him, which was considered a good thing for him, and a relatively successful thing for him.

Zhu Yunying felt that it was unrealistic to act too hastily, and he couldn't change some of the deep-rooted concepts of this nation for thousands of years.So, take your time, Zhu Yunying can do things like boiling frogs in warm water.

After all, he is the emperor, and he has enough resources and power!
