Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 422 The Emperor's Daily Life

As an emperor who is still pursuing, Zhu Yunying naturally knows some things, knowing that his crown prince doesn't seem to be that kind of particularly talented now.But Zhu Yunying was not disappointed, he just hoped that little Zhu would grow up healthy and happy.

The most important thing is that although Xiao Zhu is not a 'perfect prince', the little guy also has many advantages.Zhu Yunying doesn't need his son to be a perfect prince or emperor, as long as little Zhu can grasp the key points.

Finally, there was a rest, and Zhu Yunying lay lazily on the couch, unwilling to move.

"Dad, play!" Zhu Ruyi was lying on the couch, pointing anxiously outside the hall, "Dad, go play."

Zhu Yunying smiled, a little funny, "It's so hot outside, what are you doing out there? Come here, give me a hug from Dad."

Zhu Ruyi is unwilling, since her father doesn't take her out to play.The little girl turned around and stumbled away. Even if her father didn't follow her out to play, she still had games to play.

Lian Qiongqiong took a look at Zhu Yunying's face, and heaved a sigh of relief, feeling a lot more at ease.

The child is young and ignorant, so Zhu Ruyi doesn't have to care about Zhu Yunying's feelings.But the adults don't think so. Lian Qiongqiong is still more worried that her daughter's "arrogance" will make the emperor unhappy, but it doesn't look like this at all.

"My father-in-law is going to offend someone this time." Zhu Yunying turned over and said to Lian Qiongqiong, "My uncle is going to offend someone too."

Lian Qiongqiong smiled, and said to Zhu Yunying, "Your Majesty, concubines, fathers and brothers, cannot cling to the royal family."

This is also Lian Qiongqiong's tutor, and she can be regarded as a very upright person.

Although many people know that Zhu Yunying loves the princess Zhu Ruyi very much, and Lian Qiongqiong, the extraordinary imperial concubine, seems to be the second most noble woman after the queen.But Lian Qiongqiong knew very well that she was just a 'concubine', and her parents were naturally not real relatives of the royal family, and they were also her tutors.

Zhu Yunying laughed and said, "You, it's just too much duty. We have to make an agreement with you, it's fine if you have such a temper. If our daughter is taught to be like this by you, then we will Angry. Our daughter is Princess Daming!"

Lian Qiongqiong was a little more courageous, and retorted carefully, "Your Majesty, Ruyi is a woman after all."

"That's also our daughter, the princess of Daming!" Zhu Yunying said angrily, "Our princess should be golden branches and jade leaves. Our princess should be full of heroism. The rules that should be observed are naturally to be followed, but it is also You can't be petty."

Lian Qiongqiong knew that she couldn't say much about this topic, because it seemed that she didn't have much say in how to educate the princess.The emperor is in charge, and the queen Xu Miaoqing is in charge.And she, the biological mother of the princess, has no say in some matters.

"During this period of time, we ordered the Metropolitan Procuratorate to inspect the world, and we saw a lot of things." Zhu Yunying sighed, and said with some worry, "A few years ago, it was said that the emperor's grandfather treated officials harshly, but those people didn't know about the corruption left over from the Yuan Dynasty. The wind of corruption is so strong! If Grandpa Huang hadn't ruled the officials clean, our Daming would not be so prosperous."

In fact, Zhu Yunying still has something to say, that is, even if Lao Zhu is crazy, he has almost zero tolerance for corrupt officials.But in fact, the trend of corruption seems to have improved a lot, but those who should be corrupt are still corrupt.

And this time after the procuratorate went down, they also found many problems.

Probably realized that Emperor Yingshi was not as bloodthirsty and strict as Emperor Hongwu. It may also be that Emperor Hongwu did not have much energy to clean up officials a few years ago. Start looking up.

Lian Qiongqiong didn't answer the question, mainly because she was more responsible, and she also knew very well that the harem should not interfere in politics.Don't talk about her as an imperial concubine for some things, even if she is a queen, she can't pay too much attention to the affairs of the court.

Zhu Yunying just nagged a little bit, because with his status, there are many things that he can't say to other people.That is to say, you can complain a little in front of your wives and concubines.

It is true that the emperor has supreme power, but most of the time he is also endlessly lonely.

Zhu Yunying is quite used to this, and he has long been used to such a state.Don't say that he is the emperor now, even when he was the grandson of the emperor, he can still feel that there is a huge and insurmountable gap between himself and most people.

After talking with Lian Qiongqiong and having lunch with her daughter, Zhu Yunying did not forget that she still has a fat son.He also went to Concubine Ning Wang's to see Zhu Wenjin, the second son who was getting fatter and fatter.

"This kid looks good." Zhu Yunying smiled after patting his second son's chubby face, "Didn't you say he doesn't like to sleep the most? Why is he either sleeping or sleepy when we come here?"

Wang also couldn't laugh or cry, or she was even more annoyed.Every time her son slept at the wrong time, the emperor finally came over, and the emperor thought about the second prince, but every time the second prince was very disrespectful.

Originally, I thought that the mother is more expensive than the child, or that my son would compete for favor, etc., but now it seems that the son has missed some good opportunities!
Zhu Yunying naturally knew something about Wang's annoyance, and he didn't find it strange at all. This was a very normal thing in his opinion, and he had long since felt at ease.

When Zhu Yunying was very young, he knew that he had a special status. Almost everyone revolved around him, and almost everyone coaxed him and curry favor with him.Wang's behavior couldn't be more normal.

Zhu Yunying was a little disappointed that the fat son was sleeping.It's just that as a legitimate scumbag, Zhu Yunying didn't stay any longer.

Who made him the emperor? Some things are so upright, and no one will say anything more.He not only has queens, imperial concubines or concubines De and Ning, but also selects servants and talents.

It's normal not to rest with the queen or the imperial concubine, or even rest with a certain concubine for a period of time and then don't pass it very much. Keep the emperor, not favored.

Zhu Yunying's rest and bathing day is quite fulfilling.Although he also knew that by virtue of his status, he didn't need to deliberately care about the tranquility of the harem, and most of the time he didn't need to care about the feelings of some concubines.

It's just that if it can be more peaceful and harmonious, it will naturally be the best thing.

After resting for a day, Zhu Yunying is about to enter the working state again, and there are still many things in the court that need to be dealt with seriously.

For example, Xia Shou, this is what Zhu Yunying should start paying attention to.Zhu Yunying naturally needs to pay more attention to the new grain entering the warehouse. Food safety is extremely important in Zhu Yunying's eyes.

Don't panic if you have food in your hand. Only with food can you ensure the stability of the country.Sometimes gold and silver do not necessarily have such a big effect. Sometimes they are not as attractive as a bucket of rice.

Zhu Yunying, who was sitting on the dragon chair, was listening carefully. Not only Zhu Yunying was very concerned about the harvest of summer grain, taxation, etc., but also the civil and military officials in the court were very concerned about these things.

"It seems that our taxation in the Ming Dynasty is still a bit cumbersome." Zhu Yunying said suddenly, with a very troubled look, "It's not just the lovers in the court who are quite distressed, but the officials and common people below are also a little bit troubled."

You have to listen to what you say, because everyone knows very well that the main reason is that there were no problems at all in the reports just now.The emperor suddenly brought up these things, presumably because he was a little dissatisfied with the two tax laws.

What's more, everyone has heard some rumors, or seen some clues from some developments in the court.

For example, this time people from the Metropolitan Procuratorate began to patrol the world, and many people also knew that this was also to be able to investigate household registration and land surveys again.Many people knew that the emperor was not very satisfied with the two tax laws.

It's just that there's no need to jump out immediately at this time, because the emperor hasn't made any moves yet.Naturally, there is no need to rush to express your opinion or the team now, and you need to continue to look at the direction of the wind, so that you can make correct decisions in a timely manner.

Zhu Yunying looked at the courtiers and said slowly, "I asked the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate to inspect the thirteen realms of the world, and I think you all know the reason. It is also a fact that corruption was prevalent in the Yuan Dynasty and the government was unclear. We have been in the Ming Dynasty for many years. After the strong pressure, the atmosphere has improved a bit. It’s just how long has it been better, and how many things have happened?”

It seemed that the main event had just appeared, and the emperor had expressed some dissatisfaction.However, many people also know that there is no way to eradicate such things as corrupt officials, and in many cases it really needs continuous rectification.

Zhu Yunying continued at this time, "In these years, the imperial court began to give preferential treatment to civil and military officials, and their salaries have also risen again and again. But looking at it now, there are still many people who disappointed the imperial court, and it was useless for them to study hard."

Maybe some people's ambition at the beginning is to cultivate themselves, regulate their families, govern the country and the world, but gradually they will forget their original aspirations, and those people may also start to join forces for various reasons.

Zhu Yunying glanced around, and then said, "Once these people are in power, they start to be fearless and forget about themselves. Don't talk about those officials appointed by the court, even those small officials know how to bully others and run amok. Every year when taxes are collected, I don’t know how many families have been ruined, and I don’t know how many people have cheated on public affairs for personal gain!”

Zhu Yunying's words are a bit serious. It seems that the emperor Zhu Yunying is concerned about the country and the people, but this may also be a warning, and this may be a knock on the mountain.

Perhaps, Emperor Yingshi was going to do something next, and this emperor seemed to like to plan and act later.
