Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 414 It's Double Spring Again
Zhu Yunying doesn't particularly care about the evaluation of being greedy or not, he just hopes that some things can be resolved smoothly and harmoniously.

Although he also understands that it is not so easy to cut down the feudal clan, and it will definitely make some clans not very satisfied.But this matter is not as difficult as imagined.

Of the five princes raised in front of Empress Ma back then, except for the fourth and fifth sons who are still alive, the first three most important are no longer alive.The fourth child is now working hard in Dongying and wants to become a capable monarch.

As for Lao Zhu, he was originally a feudal lord who didn't like being trapped in a fiefdom, and his interest in animals, plants, and opera far surpassed that of a vassal king.

As for the other princes, there is actually nothing to be too concerned about.Although it is true that Lao Zhu values ​​his children, the combined weight of the other sons is far less than the weight of the first five sons.

And Zhu Yunying's precious grandson's weight is far more than those of Lao Zhu's own sons.What's more, Zhu Yunying is now the emperor, and Lao Zhu is very clear about his desire to cut down the vassal. He knows that some developments of the Ming Dynasty have exceeded some of his original expectations.

Therefore, when the dynasty was opened here, all civil and military officials wore court uniforms, which was more solemn.And when they were ready for shift, they saw that Emperor Yingshi was just obediently walking behind, and a burly old man led a chubby child in the lead.

When he came to the dragon chair, Lao Zhu sat down directly, "Emperor, I am here to preside over the ceremony, do you have any objection?"

Zhu Yunying, who is used to singing oboe, immediately replied, "Sun Chen dare not."

Old Zhu nodded slightly, picked up little Zhu and sat on his lap, and said to Zhu Yunying, "Well, let's start the court."

Zhu Yunying immediately took two steps forward, although at this time it was actually a leather biben suit, also known as '皮衣', which is the name of the court dress.The ancient kings who looked at the court, sent edicts, sent incense to the table, and the Siyi paid tribute to the pilgrimage, all obeyed the skin.

Holding a jade kui as long as a crown in his hand, with ridges and double inscriptions, Zhu Yunying walked up to Dan Chi and said, "Open the dynasty."

Ru Yuan, the leader of the class, stepped forward immediately, and all the officials also bowed quickly at this time, "Holy bow, all blessings."

At this time, the sound of rites and music also sounded, and then all the officials were restored, and after another visit, they were divided into opposing classes, which was three kowtows in one prostration.

Old Zhu looked at all the civil and military officials, and said slowly, "I have lived in Qianqing Palace for a long time, and I have ignored the government affairs. It's just that there has been quite a lot of noise outside recently. The emperor is your fault."

Zhu Yunying quickly knelt down, apologized and praised, "Sun Chen is unworthy, I hope His Majesty the Emperor will forgive me."

Zhu Yunying, the emperor, knelt down, and if any of the civil and military officials below dared to stand at this time, they didn't need to wait until the next court to deal with it.All of them quickly knelt down. If they were not guilty, they would be guilty at this time.

Lao Zhu was very unhappy, and said sternly, "You should be loyal to the country, don't think about messy things all day long. Look at what the past few days are like, what kind of quarrels are there between the government and the opposition? Let's see , What have you done in the past few days?!"

Many civil and military officials were even more wronged. Although there were some quarrels in the court these days, it was just the conscience of heaven and earth, and everyone did not forget their duties.That is to say, they are discussing some things, just expressing their own opinions and striving for greater interests.

But if you really want to say that this period of time is neglecting your own work, there is really no such thing, and everyone really dare not neglect your own work.

Although Emperor Yingshi seems to be much more lenient than Emperor Hongwu, it just really angered this Majesty. It is normal to dismiss him from office, and this one is not a soft-hearted master.

"I've also heard some." Old Zhu said with a serious expression, "Let's ask, what are those people thinking? To learn from Zhang Shicheng, or Shen Wansan from the previous dynasty? That person just likes to go overseas and claims to be the richest in the world." !"

Shen Wansan, the name Zhu Yunying has also heard, there is no cornucopia, and he did not help Lao Zhu build the city wall of Yingtian Mansion.This Shen Wansan was born and died in the Yuan Dynasty, let alone being exiled to Yunnan by Lao Zhu.

On the contrary, when Lao Zhu first attacked Suzhou, the reason why Zhang Shicheng was able to defend Suzhou for eight months was because of the financial support of the wealthy people in Suzhou.And the Shen family has made a lot of efforts in this, so Lao Zhu is indeed stricter towards Shen Wansan's descendants.Confiscating property and distributing frontiers, this is something that happens.

Like many ordinary people and wealthy businessmen in Suzhou back then, this was a kind of revenge for helping Zhang Shicheng back then.

So many times, Zhu Yunying felt that Lao Zhu was being hacked badly, and many things had nothing to do with Lao Zhu, but there were many folk stories.For example, Xu Da was poisoned to death by roast goose, Liu Bowen was poisoned to death by Lao Zhu's order, or Lao Zhu was jealous of Shen Wansan's wealth, etc. These are all things that have disappeared.

This time, many civil and military officials became more cautious, probably because Emperor Hongwu came forward, even if there was something in their hearts, they could only hold back at this time.

What's more, Lao Zhu deliberately mentioned Zhang Shicheng and Shen Wansan, which is also a warning.There is no need to be reserved at all, so what about being rich, Lao Zhu can always find a way to drive these people into a place of eternal doom.

Although Zhu Yunying was still obediently kneeling at this time, she seemed to be listening carefully.It's just that he was secretly having fun in his heart. Other civil and military officials knelt obediently and dared not raise their heads, but Zhu Yunying could raise their heads covertly.

Little Zhu, who was sitting on Lao Zhu's lap, winked at Zhu Yunying, because his unreliable father was also winking, and the father and son didn't care about the serious court at all, they were making trouble on their own.

Old Zhu glared at Xiao Zhu, but he didn't want to be cruel to Xiao Zhu.But for those civil and military officials, Lao Zhu was not at all polite.

Lao Zhu was not polite, and said bluntly, "Shibosi, the imperial court has been magnanimous and has given many benefits to merchants. People should not be too greedy, that is not a good thing! The people's government can control it, and the proportion of domestic funds can be slightly reduced."

This is the final word, and the rest of Shibosi should not think about anything.In the future, don't think about going to sea all the time. It is enough to provide goods to the Shibo Division, or to underwrite overseas goods at the Shibo Division.

Lao Zhu also gave a sweet date, which slightly reduced the amount of money flowing into the country. It seems that this is also a victory for civil and military officials.

Just think about the output of the Shibo Department, think about the increasing financial resources of the emperor's internal funds, and reduce the output of the Shibo Department a little, it's really not a big deal.

After all, this is only a slight reduction. After all, most of Shibo Division's previous income belonged to Neitang.Now that part of the profit is released, it is really not a big deal for internal funds.

At this time, Lao Zhu continued, "I also read some memorials a few days ago. From now on, the Shibo Department will draw up the types, quantities, and prices of goods in advance, and the court will set the rules. discuss."

At this time, Zhu Yunying raised his head and said to Old Zhu, "His Majesty Qi Zou Emperor, the amount of goods imported and exported by the Shibo Department is huge, and there are a lot of money and silver."

"The money of the Shibo Department is controlled by the bank." Old Zhu said at this time, "The Shibo Department has a lot of output. If it is not restricted, there will be a lot of corruption. The Shibo Department only handles the import and export of goods. The money will be paid by the bank."

Zhu Yunying continued at this time, "Grandfather, the banks in various places have just been established. If the money is allocated, the journey will wear out a lot, and it is not easy."

Old Zhu glared at Zhu Yunying angrily, and said loudly, "Use your stupid brain! I made Tongbao banknotes before, and they all settled with paper banknotes! The imperial court has travels in all prefectures and counties, and all prefectures and counties are not allowed to use paper money Money!"

Zhu Yunying spoke again at this time, "His Majesty the Emperor Qizuo, if a prefecture or county handles banknotes, I'm afraid there will be corruption again."

"Don't be sloppy about money and silver. This person can't stand the test." Old Zhu said as a matter of course. "The bank is independent from the local state capital. You should discuss this matter with the courtiers, and then report to me."

The oboe singing of the grandfather and grandson is called fluent. Basically, the two are talking and communicating. They are just unilaterally informing the courtiers. The general direction of some things has been determined. Don’t worry. Thinking about so many messy things.

Old Zhu and Xiao Zhu really have a tacit understanding about the double reeds.This routine is also very clear to many "veteran ministers". Whether it is the former Da Zhu or the current Xiao Zhu, they often sing operas in the court hall with the tacit understanding of Emperor Hongwu.

So what if he knew it in his heart, who would dare to offend Emperor Hongwu's majesty? !
After Lao Zhu finished speaking, he whispered softly, "Prince, do you want to stay in the court and watch the government, or go back with the great-grandfather?"

Little Zhu thought for a while and said, "Grandfather Gao, let's watch politics."

It doesn't necessarily mean that he is interested in political matters, it's simply that although little Zhu has been to court several times, he is very curious as a child.Now that it is possible to come to court again, it is better to stay.

Lao Zhu laughed immediately, he is indeed the great-grandson of our Zhu Chongba, he likes authority at a young age!

"Well, I will preside over the government here with your father, and let Shuangquan take you to the Qianqing Palace to have dinner with us after the court." Old Zhu laughed and said to Xiao Xiaozhu, "Go and stand where your father is kneeling. Now, we're not here, you can't sit on the dragon chair."

Zhu Yunying felt sour when he heard this, thinking how cute he was in front of Lao Zhu when he was a child, and how close he was to Lao Zhu, Zhu Yunying actually never sat on the dragon chair before he became the throne.

But little Zhu, Lao Zhu brought little Zhu to the court several times, and took little Zhu to sit on the dragon chair every now and then.

Zhu Yunying, who is a father, feels sour in his heart, but at least he has sat on the dragon chair with justification.And Da Zhu was probably feeling sad, so what about the executive deputy emperor, he had never sat in the dragon chair, not even once!
