Chapter 331 Old Zhutou, You Forced Me To Do This!

Zhu Yunxi saw that Lao Zhu was no longer waving his whip, and gradually became more courageous, and gave Lao Zhu a preaching tone.

"Grandfather, you are not the emperor!"

Old Zhu snorted coldly when he heard this, and gave Ni Sun a hundred whips in his heart, planning to start work after a short break.

"We've been emperor for half our lives, why not you, a baby who has just been weaned for a few years?"

"Grandfather, the emperor is in charge of big things, not trivial matters all day long."

"If you let you take care of everything, then why do you support so many officials and let them eat free rice?"

Old Zhu heard that Longan stared again.

"What do you know, we don't trust them, we are afraid they will fool us!"

"You rebellious grandson, don't quibble, hurry up and lie down for us, we have to beat your ass to death and have to go to review the memorial!"

"Grandfather, can you let me finish my sentence!"

Old Zhu snorted coldly, obviously on the verge of rage, but he didn't interrupt Zhu Yunxie's words.

"Grandfather, please think about it. You can go to court every day for decades and handle so many memorials every day, but it doesn't mean that other emperors of Ming Dynasty can do it!"

"Look at the emperors of other dynasties in history, who among them is as busy as you?"

"Even if the grandson can be like you, can the grandson's son and grandson also be like you?"

When Lao Zhu heard what Zhu Yunxi said, he really thought about it seriously.

He considers himself a diligent emperor, and modestly speaking, among the emperors of all dynasties, he can at least rank in the top three in terms of diligence alone, right?

But just as Na Nisun said, that he can be so diligent does not mean that the future kings of Lao Zhu's family can also do it.

Once there are one or two slack people, wouldn't Ming's state affairs be delayed?
When Lao Zhu thought of this, he didn't feel that he was wrong. He just thought that he should write how the emperor went to court, how many memorials he reviewed every day, etc., in the instructions of the emperor's ancestors, and formulated them as ancestral rules for future generations to abide by.

As for the rebellious grandson who is not diligent in politics, let's beat him until he diligently governs!
"Finished?"

As soon as Zhu Yunxi heard the old man's tone, he knew that the old man didn't listen at all, so he was so scared that he hurriedly added.

"No!"

"Grandfather, think about it again, how many emperors in the past dynasties are there who are as wise, wise, smart and wise as you?"

When Lao Zhu heard Dasun's rainbow fart, he showed a shy smile on his face.

If he was speaking to an outsider, he would definitely want to put Qin Huang, Han Wu, Tang Zong, Song Zu, etc. in front of him, and then he would take the fifth place.

But you don't have to worry so much about your grandson, just smile and nod.

"Let's say in private that there should be no one stronger than us, hahaha..."

After Lao Zhu finished speaking happily, he waved his whip again to threaten him.

"Do you think you can get away with this beating by flattering us?"

"Let me tell you, there are no doors!"

Seeing Lao Zhu admitting shamelessly, Zhu Yunxi hurriedly said the next thing.

"Grandpa Huang, my grandson is not flattering you, but telling you a fact."

"You are so wise and mighty, you are so discerning!"

"But think about it, can you guarantee that all the descendants of our old Zhu family will be as smart as you?"

"You can make a decision after listening to the report of the courtier, but it doesn't mean that the future kings of our Ming Dynasty also have this ability."

"If they don't have your brilliance and proficiency, but only learn your decision-making, come up with random ideas and make random decisions, then our Ming Dynasty will be messed up?"

When Lao Zhu heard this, a worried look finally appeared on his face.

If what Ni Sun said at the beginning was still making excuses for being lazy, then what he said just now was already exploring the imperial system and the inheritance of imperial power.

And this opinion is very insightful, it can be said to hit the nail on the head!
Lao Zhu couldn't help but started pacing in the hall, seriously thinking about the questions raised by the grandson.

However, what made him depressed was that he turned around in the hall several times but couldn't think of a proper solution.

After all, the King of Later Generations is lazy

Those who are unwilling to go to court can be established through the ancestral system, forcing them to go to court every day.

But whether the king of later generations is smart or not is beyond his control.

If there really was an emperor with incompetent abilities and average physical fitness, who was as diligent as himself and had to make up his own mind about everything, wouldn't it be the end of Daming?
Lao Zhu thought for a while, and saw that Dasun had climbed down from the stool and was clutching his buttocks to slip away. He was so angry that he slammed on the ground with a "slap".

"Where are you going?"

Zhu Yunxi was shocked when he heard this voice, and hurriedly turned around and smiled obsequiously.

"Grandfather, grandson sees that you are thinking about something, and you are thinking of going to the Imperial Hospital to get some medicine first, and let you have more fun when you come back..."

Old Zhu was so angry that he blew his beard. What Ni Sun said was too hateful, as if we rarely hit him!
"Go back!"

"oh oh……"

As soon as Zhu Yunxi moved back, he heard Lao Zhu ask.

"Come and tell us, how to solve the problem of unevenness between the virtuous and the foolish in future generations?"

"Grandfather, is your brain broken?"

"How do you solve this kind of problem? You can't do anything even if you catch God!"

When Lao Zhu heard this, he jumped up in anger.

"Your brain is broken!"

"You rebellious grandson dare to talk to us like that, it seems that we just played lightly!"

"Let's lie down again!"

Zhu Yunxi was so angry that he almost cried when he heard this, he climbed to the edge of the stool in aggrieved manner, and then lay down on his stomach in humiliation.

However, to Zhu Yunxuetong's surprise, no whip fell on his butt after a long time.

Zhu Yunxi looked back and saw Lao Zhu sitting on the steps, frowning and thinking about something.

Lao Zhu was completely stumped by Dasun's question. If he couldn't figure it out, he probably wouldn't be able to sleep for days and nights.

Seeing that he made the old man difficult by just throwing out a question at random, Zhu Yunxi immediately couldn't bear it.

"Grandfather, in fact, there is no way to solve it."

Old Zhu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he looked at his grandson expectantly.

Although the grandson is a little tired and not so respectful to himself, his head is extremely clever, and he has 10,000 ghost ideas when he turns his eyes.

"Tell us about it!"

"If you speak well, we won't punish you today!"

When Zhu Yunxi heard the words, he immediately lifted up the small bench, leaned in front of Lao Zhu, put his arms on the small bench and said.

"Grandfather, this matter can actually be determined through the system."

"What system?"

"My grandson thinks so. Since we can't guarantee whether the emperors of future generations will be smart or not, we have to prepare a secret team for them to help the emperor deal with matters."

"For example, let the secret team read the memorial first, and then write their own handling opinions. After reading it, the emperor thinks it is feasible, so he writes a word on it."

What Zhu Yunxi said is not new at all in later generations, and even within a few decades, it will become the system that affects the Ming emperor's first choice———internal system.

In history, Nei was an organization that drafted opinions for the emperor, but as the emperor of Ming Dynasty became lazier, Nei's power became more and more powerful.

But on the whole, the advantages of the internal system still outweigh the disadvantages.Not only greatly relieved the emperor's work pressure, but also brought the emperor's governance level back above the average level.

Even if there were two emperors, Jiajing and Wanli, who had not been in court for decades in the later generations of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty still did not collapse because of the assistance of the internal system.

Lao Zhu was quite moved after hearing Dasun's words. After he abolished the prime minister, he also set up some Hanlin to serve as secretaries.

However, he was very powerful and didn't need others to advise him. Gradually, he abolished the Hanlin system and ruled the world by himself.

Now that he heard Dasun's proposal, he felt that he could pick up the pavilion system again and set up a secret team with the ability to handle affairs to help him deal with the government affairs.

Just take advantage of being the emperor, check the advantages and disadvantages, and then make timely adjustments.

Lao Zhu thought of
Here, he nodded with satisfaction towards Dasun.

"Good idea, we will pay attention to this in the future."

Seeing that Lao Zhu had listened, Zhu Yunxi suddenly became more courageous, and began to completely move out the internal system of later generations.

"Grandfather, in fact, you can continue to subdivide it."

"For example, the political power is divided into two parts: decision-making power and suggestion power."

"Those who have the right to make suggestions do not have the right to make decisions, and those who have the right to make decisions cannot make suggestions."

"We can set up a new department, just call him Nei. Choose a seasoned and prudent person from the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs to help us with ideas."

"Then let's elevate the status of the ceremonial supervisor and ask them to stamp our seal for us..."

In fact, what Zhu Yunxi said was exactly what the later Ming emperors often did.

During Zhu Di's period, internal power was established. In the period of Zhu Di's grandson, he felt that it was a bit tiring even if he had internal help to give advice, so he established a supervisor of ceremonies and let the eunuchs help him exercise the decision-making power.

Therefore, the emperors of later generations followed suit. They did not go to court for decades, and they were still able to firmly hold the imperial power in their own hands. It was this technique of checks and balances.

Overall, this set of management methods is actually quite good.

Because the suggestions from the inside are not made casually. In terms of major national affairs, after the suggestions are given by the inside, they must be reviewed by the six ministers and the six subjects, which is the so-called ministry discussion.

Once the Ministry's proposal is passed, the feasibility of this matter will be very high, and basically nothing will go wrong.

Relatively speaking, the eunuch who is in charge of the seal of the emperor, the eunuch who is in charge of the emperor's seal, actually has the same rights as the office director of the later company, and only has the right to choose whether to affix the seal or not.

Therefore, even if you meet an eunuch with authority, he can at most mess up something for you, but it is impossible for him to do anything for the emperor.

Moreover, civil servants and eunuchs are naturally opposed, and they naturally look down on these eunuchs, creating a barrier between the two groups invisibly.

In the entire history of Ming Dynasty, there were very few people who could break this barrier, and only a fierce man named Zhang Juzheng did it.

The rest, neither Liu Jin nor Wei Zhongxian, were able to break through this barrier, but used severe torture to forcibly suppress the civil servants.

But no matter how powerful they are, they dare not do things like set up or abolish.If the new emperor wanted to deal with them, he would be able to take away their rights and drive them into the dust with just a single edict.

In Chongzhen in history, Wei Zhongxian was ordered to die with a piece of imperial edict, and Wei Zhongxian didn't even have the chance to resist.

Therefore, from the perspective of power checks and balances, Daming's Neihe Sili Supervisor system is actually quite a perfect system.

Even if the emperor does nothing all day long and completely entrusts these two departments to handle major national affairs, the court will not be too chaotic.

Zhu Youxiao had been a carpenter emperor all his life, entrusting all important affairs of state to Wei Zhongxian, and let Wei Zhongxian choke with a group of civil servants. Daming never had any troubles, and he was even able to suppress the Jurchen outside the customs.

However, during the period of Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youjian, he wanted to take care of everything by himself, and then he couldn't manage everything well, and finally ruined the Ming Dynasty completely.

Although it shows that there are a series of problems such as natural disasters, Donglin, frontier army, and vassal kings in the demise of the dynasty, Chongzhen still has the main leadership responsibility.

If it wasn't for his frenzy, even if Da Ming couldn't destroy the Jurchen, it would drag the Jurchen down for decades.

At that time, in the Little Ice Age, life was difficult for Da Ming, and Jurchen was so hungry that he was about to eat people.

As long as Daming can hold steady for decades and carry out a trade war against Jurchen resolutely, natural disasters alone can completely collapse Jurchen.

However, history has no ifs.

If there is, there will be no such thing as Zhu Yunxi now.

Zhu Yunxi just talked casually according to the vague memory in his mind, but hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's ears gave him a different feeling.

Zhu Yuanzhang's acceptance of the secret team's advice to the emperor is already his biggest concession.

Now hearing that Da Sun was too tired to even write a stamp, he was immediately furious.

If this Ni Sun's statement is really followed, wouldn't the emperors after the Ming Dynasty not have to do anything?
"Let's lie down!"

"what?"

Zhu Yunxi was stunned when he heard this.

I thought to myself that there was talking and laughing just now, why is chasing the old man crazy?

However, Lao Zhu didn't give him time to think at all, he just reached out to pick it up, put it in the middle of the small bench, and directed a violent blow at his ass.

"You rebellious grandson, you are so tired of stamping your seal, I'll beat you to death!"

"If I don't teach you a lesson today, you will become an emperor in the future and you will be a fool!"

Lao Zhu beat Nisun with dozens of whips one after another, until Ni Sun was howling, and then he resentfully stopped.

"Do you still dare to talk nonsense?"

"Don't dare, wow..."

"Do you still dare to be lazy in the future?"

"Don't dare, wow..."

"Tomorrow morning?"

"Up, up, up, even if my grandson climbs up, he wants to climb up to Zaochao, wow..."

Seeing what Ni Sun said, Lao Zhu nodded in satisfaction.

"From now on, I will play one thing every day. As for what to play, you can figure it out!"

"What happened..."

When Zhu Yunxi heard this, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he thought to himself, old Zhutou, you forced me to do this!
After Lao Zhu taught his eldest grandson a lesson, he ordered someone to carry him to the Imperial Hospital for treatment, and then sent him back to the Prince's Mansion after the treatment.

The next day, when Lao Zhu went to the court, he saw Da Sun Kai stepping over the threshold with grinning teeth, kneeling down respectfully and saluting himself, with a frivolous smile flashing across his face.

hum!

This rebellious grandson deserves a beating, and he will be honest after a beating!
Seeing that everyone had finished saluting, Lao Zhu immediately dealt with the affairs of state as usual.

Originally, the order started from the official department, but as soon as the official department Shang Zhanwei came out of the squad, Zhu Yunxi blocked him in front.

"Grandfather, grandson has a play!"

As soon as Lao Zhu saw the grief and indignation on his grandson's face, he knew that this grandson was angry with him, and he deliberately rushed to play first.

But for Lao Zhu, as long as his eldest grandson makes progress and actively participates in government affairs, that is his greatest wish as a grandfather.

As for the petty emotions of being against the grandson, it is not in his consideration.

"Play!"

Seeing the grandpa and grandson fighting, Zhan Wei quickly and quietly returned to the team, standing aside and watching the play with great interest.

When Zhu Yunxi heard that the old Zhutou agreed, he immediately took out a memorial from his sleeve and read it.

"Sun Chen Zhu Yunxi wrote to his grandfather, Grandpa Huang. In order to deal with the pressure from the Northern Yuan Dynasty on the border of our Ming Dynasty and to alleviate the serious shortage of freight transport between the north and the south, Sun Chen proposed to build a railway line that runs through the north and the south, and asked the Ministry of Railways to be established to manage the Take the overall situation!"

As soon as Zhu Yunxi's words came out, the whole court was shocked.

Everyone began to whisper, and even Lao Zhu was a little confused about what kind of medicine was sold in the grandson's gourd.

What is a railway?
What is the Ministry of Railways?
Relatively speaking, Lao Zhu is not bad. After all, he went to the Hope School yesterday and experienced the baptism of a steam revolution.

Although he didn't know what the train was, he could at least guess that it was related to something that Dasun had been tinkering with recently.

When Lao Zhu saw that his grandson brought this matter to the court for discussion, he knew that the grandson was purely here to stir up trouble, and his face immediately became displeased.

"We'll discuss this matter later, you should sit aside and listen to politics first!"

Lao Zhu deliberately put the accent on the word "sitting", just to warn Ni Sun a little bit, and let him know that he is not easy to mess with as a grandpa!
However, Zhu Yunxi yelled directly to the door as if he didn't hear it.

"Uncle Tiger, please carry the things in!"

"promise!"

The two tigers agreed, and then filed in with a dozen guards in brocade clothes, and placed a bunch of things on the main hall.

Afterwards, Ma Bo walked in with more than a dozen craftsmen, and assembled them in front of civil and military officials and the old emperor.

Zhu Yunxi explained to the officials on both sides while they were assembling.

"Everyone must not know what a train is, so I will demonstrate it to you personally!"

When Zhu Yunxi said this, he pointed to a section of iron track on the ground.

"The train is a kind of traffic that uses the principle of the steam engine to push the car on the railway.

tool. "

"This track is the railway!"

"The Ministry of Railways, which Gu proposed to establish, is the department in charge of this matter."

Seeing that his subordinates had assembled the train, Zhu Yunxi took a small shovel and filled a shovel of high-quality charcoal into the furnace of the miniature train, and then lit it with a match.

"This is the driving principle of the train, which is to use the heat generated by the burning of coal to push the piston inside..."

Zhu Yunxi didn't care whether they could understand or not, he just explained to himself.

Anyway, Lao Zhu asked him to go to court to play something, so he would find something interesting to talk about.

Although the officials couldn't understand what Zhu Yunxi said, they could always tell what kind of material the railways and trains were made of.

If it is true as the emperor said, how much steel will be used to build a railway that runs through the north and the south?
I'm afraid it wouldn't be enough to melt all the steel in Daming, right?

When everyone was extremely suspicious, the train suddenly moved by itself.As the train kept moving, the train also made a strange sound of "chichacha".

Seeing these scenes, all the officials were dumbfounded in surprise.

They can see very clearly that this thing has no thrust at all, it is completely propelled by the steam force that the emperor grandson said!

"Moved!"

"The iron car moved by itself!"
