Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 559 The Emperor's Work

In the early court, Ru Yu, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, did his duty.

Fujian Chengxuan Zuobu Zhengshi, the political envoy, has achieved remarkable achievements in his tenure. As the second-rank chief executive of Fujian Province, the imperial court should also recognize Zhuo Jing's political achievements and give them praise.

Many people watched the emperor's expression carefully, everyone knew exactly who Zhuo Jing was.The No. 21 candidate in the [-]st year of Hongwu, he used to work in Taisun's mansion, and he was the Minister of the Household Department.

Ru Yu became Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and Yan Zhenzhi had a detached position in the Ministry of Industry.Zhuo Jing, who was not inferior in development momentum, just contradicted Emperor Yingshi two years ago, and left the center in an instant, and now he can only serve as an official in the local area.

Zhu Yunying had a noncommittal attitude, and it seemed that he didn't approve of Zhuo Jing's appearance too much.

It seems that Emperor Yingshi is still very vengeful and cautious, and he doesn't seem to have much tolerance for the old ministers who once served in Taisun's Mansion.If Zhuo Jing wants to return to the center, he probably needs to work harder and achieve more political achievements.

Or continue to waste time in the local area, it can only be Mu Shou's side.If Zhuo Jing wanted to return to the center, he probably had to wait until Emperor Yingshi really calmed down.

It's only been two years, really don't expect Zhu Yunying to calm down so easily, otherwise the Emperor's Wrath would be too cheap.What's more, Zhuo Jing is only in his early fifties now, so it can be said that he is in the prime of life, so there is no harm in wasting time in the local area.

What's more, Zhu Yunying felt that Zhuo Jing was still capable, and there was no harm in being the chief executive of a province.This is also to establish a system. If you don't have enough experience in local governance, don't count on the position of the six ministers.

The Ming Dynasty did not have such a system before, but it does not mean that there will be no such system in the future. Zhuo Jing wants to be the best 'model'.

It is completely possible to wait a little longer, and when one of the six ministers is vacant, Zhuo Jing may have a chance to return to the center. What is certain is that he wants to return to the center, and Zhuo Jing must not make mistakes again.

Even after more than two years, Zhuo Jing was actually constantly reflecting on it, maybe he didn't think he was wrong, he stuck to the backbone and conscience of a scholar.

However, it is also possible that he has realized some of his own mistakes. What his lord needs to consider is the country and the country. What needs to be considered is that the Central Plains is full of smells caused by the ravages of foreign races for hundreds of years. Ying said that the emperor needs a strong hand to restore China's orthodoxy.

The attitude of Emperor Yingshi can explain many problems, maybe the current Zhuo Jing can also reflect on it.The other civil and military officials in the court could probably also see some of the Emperor Yingshi's thoughts more clearly, and it was obviously not beneficial to fight against the emperor.

After coming down to court, Yu Xin and Xia Yuanji were called to the Hall of Martial Heroes. These two were definitely important ministers in the Ming Dynasty. They absolutely held great power, and they were also favored by countless people.

Needless to say, Yu Xin, although he was not born in Taisun's Mansion, but as a person who was able to climb to the high position of Minister of the Household Department in the Hongwu Dynasty, this can explain a lot of problems.What's more, in the Yingshi dynasty, you can still control the household department, which is not a simple matter.

As for Xia Yuanji, he was quite famous in his early years.Although he wasn't born as a Jinshi, but with his own talent, coupled with Yu Xin's appreciation, Xia Yuanji, who was only in his early thirties, had a very obvious upward trend. Obviously, the servant of the household department would not be the end of Xia Yuanji's career.

Now he has presided over the bank's promotion and assisted Yu Xin to improve the work of the household department. Xia Yuanji is becoming more and more eye-catching now, and it can be regarded as being more and more appreciated by Emperor Yingshi. Maybe the position of the household department minister is for Xia Yuanji prepared.

Xia Yuanji is an undisputed rising star in the political arena, even though he is already thirty.But being able to occupy a high position is not easy in itself. After all, he is not from a distinguished family background, so it is impossible for him to have a high rank just after entering the court.

More realistically speaking, if he wasn't outstanding enough, it would be difficult for the emperor to see him in his eyes. This is the fact.

Looking at Xia Yuanji, Zhu Yunying said directly, "Wei Zhe, the tax payment is about to start, and the bank will keep an eye on it. Our Daming's banknotes must not be in trouble at this time."

Xia Yuanji nodded immediately, and said confidently, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will definitely not make any omissions at this time."

Regarding Xia Yuanji's statement, Zhu Yunying was quite confident.Generally speaking, this Xia Yuanji is relatively reliable, and Xia Yuanji can distinguish the seriousness of such major events, if he makes a mistake at this time, it will obviously destroy his future.

There are still many political ambitions that have not been displayed, Xia Yuanji naturally does not want to interrupt his official career.If someone dared to ruin his official career at this time, Xia Yuanji didn't mind ruining everything about those villains before that.

Yu Xin seemed a little envious, even though he was the Minister of the Household Department, he was also a veteran of the two dynasties.It's just that even if he is such an important minister, His Majesty the Emperor will not easily call him Biaozi.

What was missing was the so-called respect for old ministers, or it might simply be that in the emperor's mind, Xia Yuanji was just a courtier.Those who can be called superficial characters by the emperor are basically seen and remembered by the emperor, and can be regarded as "confidant ministers".

Jane is in the emperor's heart, which naturally means that the official career will be more accessible. Such a treatment can be regarded as Shangying showing that the emperor is more optimistic about a certain courtier, and these courtiers can be regarded as entering the fast lane of official career.

Zhu Yunying smiled, but continued to explain, "It's not easy for the people to grow some food, and they should count carefully if they have some spare money. Remember, if anyone in the bank dares to embarrass our Ming people, don't blame us for being cruel." gone."

Xia Yuanji immediately felt a bit of pressure, the pressure was almost the same as when he saw Emperor Hongwu in his early years, if his mental quality was not good enough, he would tremble.

This is definitely not a joke, the more and more imperial prestige, naturally means that it will put more and more psychological pressure on civil and military officials.Even if it seems that Emperor Yingshi is a little more lenient than Emperor Hongwu, this tolerance is relatively limited.

Emperor Hongwu did not continue to sit on the dragon chair, which does not mean that the civil and military officials of Ming Dynasty can relax, because Emperor Yingshi was taught by Emperor Hongwu, and this is a replica of Zhu Hongwu.

Even though it seemed that he was not as strict as Emperor Hongwu, he didn't get involved at every turn, etc. Yingshi was very stingy on the emperor.

Emperor Yingshi was relatively generous, as long as the civil and military officials were upright, there would naturally be no major problems.As long as these people don't take bribes and break the law, Emperor Yingshi doesn't seem to be so harsh.

After all, this one is very similar to Emperor Hongwu. These two are the kind of emperors with great ambitions, and both are wise and powerful.The most important thing is that everyone can see that these two are harsh to the officials, but they are also the most famous emperors in history who love the people like their sons.

No matter whether it was Yu Xin or Xia Yuanji, Zhu Yunying was quite confident. The abilities of these two were not bad, as long as they worked hard, there would be no problem.

Yu Xin is now looking forward to being able to continue to control the household department, to be able to retire smoothly, and to be able to leave a name in the history, which can be regarded as the ambition of a scholar.

As for Xia Yuanji, his official career has not yet reached its peak, and he also knows that he still has more opportunities, so naturally he will not slack off at this time, he still needs to continue to work hard.

After the two chief officials of the household department left, Li Jinglong came to see him before Zhu Yunying had much time to review the memorial.

In fact, Zhu Yunying would not be particularly harsh on this so-called Great Ming God of War.In any case, Li Jinglong's background is extremely special, and he is also Zhu Yunying's right-hand man in controlling military power, and Zhu Yunying does not intend to mess himself up.

After all, it seems that there are no more suitable candidates. The clan wants to control some military power. Li Jinglong is one of the most suitable candidates anyway, and the legacy left by Li Wenzhong is indeed rich enough.

"Cousin Jiujiang." Zhu Yunying greeted with a smile, "Wang Daban, give Cao Guogong a seat."

Although Li Jinglong was thanking him, he also took it for granted.Even if he once suspected that he was left idle by Zhu Yunying, etc., but now there is no need to worry about it.

What's more, in the past few years, even when he was still the grandson of the emperor, he actually seemed to have enough respect for Li Jinglong. Li Jinglong had the honor and treatment of "fake festival Yue" early on, which is an ordinary honor. Unbelievable treatment.

What's more, Li Jinglong is not a complete fool, his political wisdom is still very good.In the early years, Li Jinglong, who was famous in Yingtianfu for his extensive reading of military books, also became more and more aware of Zhu Yunying's thoughts. After all, he needed a person with sufficient status and ability to restrict other clans.

"Your Majesty, the world has been at peace for a long time, and the founding honor has long been absent from the court." Cao Guogong said with a serious expression, "This time I went to Korea, I think there are quite a few people who should experience it."

There are indeed very few founding nobles who are still in court, and Fu Youde can be regarded as 'old and vigorous'.The young player Lan Yu who used to be by Yuchun's side is now gradually stepping into the ranks of veterans, and veterans such as Guo Ying and Geng Bingwen are even more old.

Daming at this time, not to mention the second generation of Xun, even the third generation of Xun entered the court one after another.In the Dudu Mansion of the Five Armies, there are indeed a large number of honorable children of the second and third ranks.

Naturally, there are some people with some talent and potential in family background, but some people cannot be ruled out, and their abilities and potentials are indeed not worthy of the emperor's further training or decentralization.

Zhu Yunying looked at Li Jinglong, and said helplessly, "In the early years, our Ming Dynasty's Five Armies Commander's Mansion was so beautiful, that is, only some honorable generals with long-standing meritorious service could command the Five Armies' Commander's Mansion. Now, our Five Armies' Commander's Mansion Mostly the heirs of meritorious officials and relatives are specially conferred, there are too many Yin officials."

This is a fact. At the beginning, the five-army governor's office can be said to be higher than the civil management system. In the early period of the five-army governor's office, all the governors who served were without exception military generals with military merits.

But it's not so good now. The current Dudu's Mansion of the Five Armies is far less valuable than the Dudu's Mansion of the Five Armies in the Hongwu period.In fact, at first glance, the left and right governors of the five army governors' mansion basically all have military merits.But on the whole, there are indeed a lot more Yin officials.

"This is also the reason why we let our cousin be in charge of the Wuyuan before. Although in the early years we also suggested that the heirs of nobles need to be evaluated, but this is not easy." Zhu Yunying said helplessly, "Those people want to say opportunistic, it is true. Know how to fool us."

This is not an exaggeration, it is actually a fact, because these things have already happened and are still happening.

In the early years, Zhu Yunying was really worried that the Wu Xun system would not be useful for eating, drinking and having fun, and he also put forward evaluations on Wu Xun's heirs to avoid some jokes that Wu Xun could not ride a horse or shoot a bow when he inherited the title of his father and grandfather.

But after so many years, these evaluations can be regarded as superficial. In fact, these evaluations are not enough to ensure that each of the honored sons is also capable, and it is not enough to show that Ming's honorary system still maintains a sufficient vitality and fresh blood.

In fact, Zhu Yunying also understands that the biggest advantage of the noble system is "sleeping with the country". The greatest confidence of these noble children is that their father and ancestor made great military exploits, which also means that their status is special.

Old Zhu can kill heroes, but Zhu Yunying is actually quite strict with many martial arts. The so-called "iron coupons for avoiding death" and the like, the final interpretation power has always been in the hands of Lao Zhu and Xiao Zhu, and they can go as they please. Explanation.

But in any case, the title of Wu Xun cannot be cut easily.Even in the early years, Zhu Yunying wanted to reduce the burden on the court, and indeed cut some titles, but that was also a lot of martial arts rampant, and those people could be regarded as their own fault.

It's not good to go too far, you can wait a little bit, but you can't directly cut some nobles to the end, otherwise this is more or less a blow to the enthusiasm of the martial arts system.

After all, no one dares to guarantee the future of their children and grandchildren. Maybe there are some dandies who appear. If they can't inherit the title, it will be somewhat reconciled.

The court of the Ming Dynasty raised some rice worms. It seems that it is not impossible. After all, the fathers and ancestors of those rice worms made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty. This is something that needs to be admitted. Still need to be more forgiving.

The reason why Li Jinglong came here this time is to recommend some Wu Xun children to go to Korea for gold plating, which is also a very important thing.

To ensure the vitality of the five military governors' mansions of the Ming Dynasty, and to ensure the continued strength of the Ming military system, it is necessary to continuously emerge some talents from the noble system.

Even if some honored nobles can't support the wall, there are still some second and third generations of honor worth cultivating. These people are definitely worthy of more opportunities and expectations from the Ming Dynasty.
