Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 643
As a child prodigy in the past, although Ru Yu has a photographic memory of Tang poetry and Song poetry, she can recite poems from thousands of families at the age of six, and has already read "The Great Learning" and "The Doctrine of the Mean" by the age of ten.But he is also very clear that the person in front of him is different, and knows that this person is a real precocious.

For people's hearts and all kinds of attitudes, one can gain insight into the world at a young age.It is also because of this that Ru Yu understands that she must not be taken lightly in front of this person, and this person is not so easy to fool.

What's more, as the grandson's companion in the past, now that he is past the age of forty, Ru Yuan also knows that his official career is so smooth because he joined Emperor Yingshi early.Among the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, there is no shortage of some amazingly talented people.

After careful consideration, Ru Yu said, "Your Majesty, His Highness the Crown Prince is tolerant and calm, and all colleagues in the court can see it."

Zhu Yunying smiled, and then said, "Reader, you don't have to just talk nicely in front of us, you know we are not people who like to listen to nice things, we can also listen to bad words."

He said in such a hurry, "Your Majesty, I have absolutely no such intentions! What I say is based on feelings, and I dare not speak in the slightest."

Zhu Yunying shook her head, seeming a little sad, "Since we were young, most of the people in front of us were good talkers, and most of them followed us. Even the companions in the early years were the same."

A companion is like a tiger, even if it is His Majesty's former companion, but Ru Xun does not think that she is so great, let alone thinks that without him, His Majesty cannot control the court, this point Ru Xun still has self-knowledge.

It was also because she knew Emperor Yingshi too well, and Ru Yu even felt that her former grandson accompanied her, but in fact she might not have such a deep relationship with the current Emperor Yingshi. A real heart-to-heart.

In the eyes of His Majesty, he, Ru Yuan, might just be a familiar subject, just a slightly capable minister.Never take yourself too seriously, Ru Xun has always warned herself this way.

Those who don't know envy him as His Majesty's former companion and confidant of His Majesty.But Ru Xun is more aware that once she does something unsacred, she might lose her trust.

Thinking about Zhuo Jing, that is a lesson from the past. If His Majesty turns his back on him, he will not hesitate. This is a true portrayal of being with you like a tiger.

It's not just a day or two that Ru Yu is cautious in front of Zhu Yunying.Even when Zhu Yunying was a great-grandson in the early years, Ru Yu was careful in front of Zhu Yunying, and the difference in status between the two parties was very clear from the beginning.

What's more, Ru Yu, who has read the books of sages and sages, also has some ideas of scholars in her bones.In addition to self-cultivation, regulating the family, governing the country and the world, the idea of ​​loyalty to the emperor is also integrated into his genes.

Zhu Yunying smiled, and stopped embarrassing Ruyu, "We heard that the prince is in court, and he is a little unsteady. The Supreme Emperor brought him to the court, and he has not yet understood many things, so he dares to speak nonsense?!"

Ru Xun was even more anxious, he probably understood what His Majesty meant, and naturally understood what His Majesty was talking about.

This scene is obviously talking about some things mentioned to His Highness the Crown Prince yesterday morning, which really made His Majesty very unhappy, and now he is using Ruyu to beat other people.

Maybe it was beating His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but more often it was beating other courtiers.All of this is also to eliminate the influence. This is to completely return the small thoughts of the officials who may have just been born.

This is also normal, just think about the characters of Emperor Hongwu and Emperor Yingshi.These two are not only diligent, but also very concerned about power. How could they voluntarily delegate some power? This simply does not exist.

Now that His Majesty mentioned this, Ru Yu was not surprised at all, and even felt that His Majesty returned to the court in such a hurry, maybe it was because of this incident.

The reason is very simple. Although the imperial scholars helped to participate in the state affairs, this was brought up by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and it was also rejected by Emperor Hongwu. More accurately, the Supreme Emperor just got angry and left.

Even if the Taishanghuang didn't directly dismiss it, the attitude of the Taishanghuang is enough to explain many things.Some things don't necessarily need to be stated clearly, but everyone can actually understand them.

Although it was only mentioned by the crown prince and did not get the permission of the Supreme Emperor, even if the current crown prince does not observe politics, he really has no right to speak in the court.Just thinking about the identity of the crown prince and the crown prince and his stable position can explain a lot of things.

Even if the crown prince's proposal is not adopted now, it might be adopted in the future.Now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has little influence on the government, but as the Crown Prince grows up, his influence will definitely become greater and greater.

What's more, this can be regarded as planting a seed in the hearts of the officials, and it may have begun to take root.

Respect the imperial power, but the officials also hope to limit the imperial power, this is not contradictory.

Zhu Yunying seemed to understand Ru Yu's heart, and said with a smile, "I heard about the court yesterday, and we thought about it carefully. What the crown prince said is also reasonable, so we have to think about it."

Zhu Yunying also said at this time, "In fact, in the early years, the Supreme Emperor also said that he had set up four assistant officials. It was only after Hu Ni that the Ministry of Education was abolished, and the emperor was in charge of the government affairs of the six departments and one hundred divisions. We also feel that some things are quite strange. Tired and tiring."

After the Hu Weiyong case, Lao Zhu abolished the Zhongshu Province and the prime minister, and divided the power of the Zhongshu Province into six departments.This allowed the emperor to directly take charge of the six ministries, which was actually tantamount to concurrently serving as the prime minister. This is the monopoly of power.

Zhu Yunying also continued, "In the early years of the Supreme Emperor, he also set up the Huagai Hall, Wuying Hall, Wenyuan Pavilion, and Dongge Great Scholars. Later, he also set up the Wenhua Hall Grand Scholars, Zheng Qiru and others to guide the prince. These are somewhat useful. .”

The Diange Grand Bachelor was definitely not created by Zhu Yunying, it existed during Lao Zhu's time.Even this is not the first creation of Lao Zhu. In the Song Dynasty, there was actually a scholar of the palace.

Zhu Yunying sighed, and said, "Since we ascended the throne, we don't need to talk about the memorials of hundreds of officials. In many places, the state government's memorials have to be read and approved. Although we are still diligent in politics, we often feel that we are separated. Inexperienced."

Ru Yu seemed to be listening with peace of mind, but she couldn't help but slander her in her heart.

It is really no wonder that the emperor is so busy. It can only be said that Emperor Hongwu and Emperor Yingshi have too strong a desire for power, and they can handle big and small things.Such monopoly of power is naturally a manifestation of the supremacy of imperial power, but it is self-inflicted to be too busy.

Of course, if these things were just slander in his heart, he would not dare to speak out.If you say it, then you are really looking for your own death, that is, you are really taking the initiative to ruin your career.

Zhu Yunying seemed to be unsatisfied, and continued to pour out bitter water, "In recent years, most of the officials' reports are national affairs, and we naturally have to deal with them. But many times, it is reported that some women have given birth to three sons, and there are chaste women in the jurisdiction. These Excerpts, if we don’t approve it, it’s not right, and if it is approved, it will take time and effort.”

Zhu Yunying was actually being polite when he said this, because many memorials were not necessarily these big things, but small things.

The smart Ru Xun chose to keep silent at this time, mainly because he knew that he would make mistakes if he talked too much at this time.

But what Zhu Yunying said is also true.Even though he was very diligent, many memorials were reported on trivial matters, which really took Zhu Yunying too much time and energy.

But this is the impact of the abolition of Zhongshu Sheng and the prime minister. The monopoly of power naturally means that a lot of trivial matters will definitely be dealt with.And these seemingly trivial matters must be dealt with.

Zhu Yunying looked at Ru Yu, and continued, "We're really tired after resting for a few days this time. We're still young and strong, and we can't take it anymore."

Seeing that Ru Yu was about to speak, Zhu Yunying said with a smile, "Don't be polite to me, I'm not an emperor who can only listen to good things. Our own bones, we know it well. Truth and lies , we can tell the difference even more clearly."

At this time, Ru Yu is naturally more difficult to interface. It is really difficult to mention some auspicious words now.In fact, no matter whether it was Emperor Yingshi or Emperor Hongwu, they didn't care about those auspicious words. If it weren't for some court rules, they might even not care about those things at all.

Looking at Ru Yu, Zhu Yunying said seriously, "We think what the crown prince said is reasonable. Naturally, it is not easy for us to let the officials decide on major affairs of the state. It's just that there are some things that we don't have to deal with by ourselves."

Ru Yu's heart moved, and she hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, think twice! Your Majesty trusts all officials, this is the blessing of the ministers. But if Your Majesty entrusts the decision-making power to the ministers, I am afraid that someone will take power!"

Zhu Yunying looked at Ru Yu, and said suspiciously, "Reader, is it an exaggeration to say so? We feel that the princes in the court are all pillars of the court, and they are worthy of entrusting state affairs to us."

Ru Yu's heart was agitated, but he had to express his position, "Your Majesty, in the past Hu Ni and Yang Bandit were traitorous and loyal! These two people failed the holy grace and confused the court. This matter must be guarded against!"

Needless to say, Hu Weiyong, as the last prime minister of Zhongshu Province, he was indeed manipulated by Lao Zhu to death.However, I have to admit that Hu Weiyong himself has committed many acts of death, acting rampantly, forming parties for personal gain, etc., all of which are his own fault.

As for Yang Xian, the former confidant of Emperor Hongwu also got carried away after gaining real power. He killed the censor, impeached Wang Guangyang, the right minister, and fought with Li Shanchang for power all day long.
Many people knew about these things, and as Lao Zhu's grandson, Zhu Yunying knew more about these things.In fact, when Yang Xian was punished, Zhu Yunying was not born yet.But when Hu Weiyong was killed, and Wang Guangyang, who was compared to Zhang Liang and Zhuge Liang by Lao Zhu, was bestowed to death, Zhu Yunying more or less began to understand some court structures.

As for Li Shanchang, the final ending was only arranged by Zhu Yunying in Tianjin to play his spare time. It can even be regarded as Zhu Yunying's arrangement of the ending of the first civil servant of the founding of the Ming Dynasty.

Ru Yu is so excited now, not because he feels that he may be further reused. He is sweating and sitting on pins and needles. He is very worried that he will follow the same path as those important ministers at the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty.

I have to be careful about these things too, the extremely talented minister is indeed very beautiful.It's just that in such a position, if you are not careful, you will be doomed.Even many things can be regarded as involuntary.

What Ru Yu is worried about now is naturally the emperor's temptation to him.In the position of Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Ru Yu was very cautious and did not dare to overstep in the slightest.If you let him go further, it is to arrange an ending for him.

Power is a good thing, but knowing Emperor Yingshi's character and means, Ru Xun dare not have more greed for power.

Looking at Ru Yu, Zhu Yunying nodded thoughtfully, and said, "The companion's words are reasonable, and the incidents of Hu Ni and Yang Bandit must not happen again. The court cannot afford such turmoil."

For Zhu Yunying's words, Ru Yu obviously didn't think so.After all, Yang Xian, who seemed to have great power at the beginning, died silently.Hu Weiyong, who seemed to be even more powerful, was executed lightly by Emperor Hongwu, and all forces related or even unrelated to Hu Weiyong were swept away.

Ru Yu didn't dare to doubt Emperor Hongwu's ability and skill at all, but he also didn't doubt Emperor Yingshi's ability and scheming at all.Some things that Emperor Hongwu could do, Emperor Yingshi could also do.

Zhu Yunying waved his hand and said, "Let's quit reading with me, we have to think about these things carefully."

At this time, Ru Yu naturally had no choice but to resign, feeling very uneasy in her heart.He has always been unable to guess the emperor's mind, it was like this before, and it is like this now.

Seeing Ru Yu leave, Zhu Yunying smiled, "Big companion, don't you think we're being mean and ungrateful when you say we're teasing you like this?"

Wang Chengen immediately flattered and said, "It is a blessing for the emperor to be so trustworthy as a companion. This servant has followed the emperor for a long time, and this servant also knows that if your majesty is not a trustworthy person, you will not be funny."

See, this is the art of speaking.Obviously Zhu Yunying was playing Ruzhen, but when Wang Chengen said it, it seemed that Zhu Yunying trusted Ruzhen and gave Ruzhen such treatment. This is a blessing, even if Ruzhen knew it, she should be grateful.

Zhu Yunying smiled and didn't say much. After all, Wang Chengen definitely couldn't hear any bad things about Zhu Yunying. He would only flatter him in different ways.

It's more important to continue to deal with political affairs. It's good to simply get some wind from Ru Xun first, and the next thing to do must still be done.Zhu Yunying made some decisions, and it is not so easy to change.

But the most important thing now, of course, is to review the paperwork that can never be finished!
