When Zhu Houzhao came to Qianqing Palace, Zhu Youtang was correcting the memorial again.

Now the memorial system across the country has matured, so countless memorials gather at Qianqing Palace every day.

Because they did not go through the cabinet, the memorials that came in were very complicated. Fortunately, there were supervisors who could do some screening work, otherwise my father would have been exhausted.

Zhu Houzhao felt that this secret folding system had to be changed, otherwise it would definitely be exhausting.

The key to the problem is how to change it. Once more people are involved in the matter, it loses its confidential nature, and then the memorial will be no different from the title book.

Therefore, we cannot delegate power to the cabinet. This is a power that I finally took back. But for the time being, it is okay and no other problems have arisen.

It's just that Zhu Houzhao is not confident about the ceremonial eunuchs. If this power is given to them, it will be easier for eunuchs to appear in the future.

Maybe we can think of ways to do this in a new agency, such as the Department of General Affairs.

Zhu Houzhao doesn't have any good solution now, so he can only leave it like this for the time being. He doesn't have enough energy to take care of this. What he wants to do is judicial reform in the capital.

Once this reform is completed, Zhu Houzhao will implement this system throughout the country. After this system is rolled out, he will be able to do more.

After glancing at his father, Zhu Houzhao bowed and said, "My son, I will see you, father."

Zhu Youtang raised his head and glanced at his son. He smiled and said, "Back?"

Zhu Houzhao felt warm in his heart, and he was very pleased to hear this sentence. This was his father's love for him.

So he nodded and said, "My son is back."

"That's just right. There are dozens of memorials here. Come and correct them." As he said this, Zhu Youxun stood up and stretched, looking comfortable.

He walked straight down the Long Book Desk and came to the door of the main hall, breathing in the fresh air with a satisfied expression on his face.

Zhu Houzhao's smile suddenly froze on his face, and then he shook his head with a wry smile. The little touch he had just felt has now completely disappeared.

He walked to the other side and sat down behind the table and chairs prepared for him. Watching Yang Peng bring the memorial to him, Zhu Houzhao smiled at him.

In fact, this is not the first time Zhu Houzhao has done this. The tables and chairs here have been prepared for him and are permanent.

Naturally, the father's seat cannot be used, so the current configuration is adopted.

Zhu Houzhao was not in a hurry. He had plenty of time now, so he began to correct the memorials one by one at a very fast speed.

In fact, procedural memorials like this are basically not very difficult.

Most of them are affected by disasters somewhere; someone has been corrupted or accepted bribes. Just arrange for people to investigate directly, and the affected people will allocate money and food for disaster relief.

It's just that the memorial comes quickly, and any official can submit it, which reduces the time required for layer-by-layer reporting. Confidentiality and effectiveness are greatly improved, and the sacrifice is naturally the emperor's time.

After working hard for about an hour, Zhu Houzhao finally finished correcting the memorial.

Zhu Houzhao raised his head and glanced at his father, and saw that he had asked Yang Peng to place the chair under the sun, and there was a small table beside him. There were tea and candied fruits on it. The father ate some candied fruits and took a sip of tea, looking like he was enjoying himself. appearance.

Zhu Houzhao stood up, stretched, and then walked towards his father.

Yang Peng also moved a chair over at the right time and put it aside.

Zhu Houzhao sat down directly.

Turning his head and glancing at his son, Zhu Youtang asked with a smile: "Has it been changed?"

Zhu Houzhao nodded and replied: "It has been changed."

"It's better to be young. When my father was your age, he would be busy from morning to night every day without feeling tired. Now it's really not possible anymore. I feel sore and backache after working for a few hours every day." Zhu You looked nostalgic. said.

Zhu Houzhao really doesn't want to complain about his father. Your health was not very good when you were young. If I hadn't helped you take care of yourself, you would probably be dead now.

But looking at his father's condition now, Zhu Houzhao is still very satisfied. At least he doesn't have any serious illness. He can share the government affairs with himself, and his father is in a good mood, so his health will naturally get better.

The current Ming Dynasty can be said to be prosperous. Although there are many new problems, after all, the court is prosperous.

Only when a country has money can it do more things. This is an eternal truth.

Neither father nor son said anything more, they just sat there drinking tea and eating snacks.

This is a rare leisure time for father and son.

It wasn't until sunset that Zhu Youtang said, "If you have anything to do, tell me quickly. It's getting late, and your mother is still waiting for me to eat!"

Zhu Houzhao was a little helpless, he stuffed this dog food for himself.

But it doesn't matter, I also have a Crown Princess, and I will go back to have dinner with the Crown Princess later, making it seem like no one has a wife.

But when it was time to get down to business, Zhu Houzhao's face became serious.

"My son wants to take charge of the six gates." Zhu Houzhao said slowly.

After listening to his son's words, Zhu Youtang glanced at his son in surprise. His son had told him about the six doors before, but he had not said that he would do it himself. Why did he change his mind now?

"Tell me what you think?" Zhu Youtang did not object directly, but just smiled and asked his son why.

Over the past few years, my son has become more organized and far-sighted in doing things, apart from occasionally being impulsive.

Since his son said this, he naturally has his own ideas. Zhu Youtang is used to it and wants to hear what his son thinks.

Zhu Houzhao said: "My son has high hopes for Liumen. At the same time, a newly founded yamen has many things to do. I really can't find a suitable person to do these things, and they don't understand either. So I want to come in person." Be sure to wait until the structure is established, then you can retire with success."

Zhu Youtang glanced at his son. He knew that his son was afraid that he would misunderstand him for taking power. But he didn't care about this. If he cared, he wouldn't have given his son so much power before.

Whether it was in the military or in the court, in fact he was not worried. There was no need for his son to rebel.

Is the rebellion just to become emperor a few years earlier? His son has no competitors.

Even Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, would not have rebelled if Li Yuan had only one son. There would be no need for his own son to rebel.

So even if I delegate power to him again, I won't worry.

More importantly, he, Lao Zhu, is an emperor who values ​​family and is not a single husband.

He may not be a good emperor, but he must be a good father and husband.

Throughout history, this point is extremely rare, and it is unique among emperors. This is the character of Zhu Youtang.

Zhu Houzhao was also glad that he had come to such a place. If he had traveled through time and become Jiajing's son, he would have probably been best off doing nothing and just surviving.

"If you want to do it, just do it!" Zhu Youtang said with a smile: "It's very rare to see you care so much about something. You don't care much about it in Beijing, but you care so much about this matter.

I also want to see how you will do."

Zhu Houzhao glanced at his father and nodded gently.

Zhu Youtang knew his son very well. His son did not hide anything from him. It stands to reason that he had finally grasped the military power of the Beijing camp, so how could he let it go so easily?

But that's the fact, his son just let go.

Nowadays, my son basically doesn't have much involvement in military matters. Everything is done by the Military Aircraft Department. He doesn't care about personnel adjustments. He just establishes the system.

From this point it can be seen that the son is not attached to this little bit of power. The reason why the son is doing things in the military is simply because he did it too badly before.

Nowadays, the Ming Dynasty has a very strong military. Those military officials have been replaced by ministers, and they clamor for war all day long, either here or there, just like the arrogant and powerful generals in the founding of the country.

This kind of thing never happened before. In the past, when people wanted to fight, many people would push and hide whenever they could.

But things are different now. The military fights to the death for an opportunity to lead troops in combat.

Zhu Youtang also knew what they meant.

Nowadays, wars are all about winning, and going there is a meritorious service. The occupied grasslands have priority in distribution.

This benefit was given to them by the imperial court, so it represents official status and money. Who wouldn't want it?

Wealth and silk are attractive to people's hearts, and power is even more attractive. These are all changes brought about by sons.

Glancing at his son, Zhu Youhang's face became much gentler.

"There is something I need to discuss with you." Zhu Youtang said with a smile.

"The DPRK is already discussing the Horqin matter, mainly focusing on the matter of you marrying a Horqin woman. For this reason, the DPRK is divided into two factions, and they are arguing all day long. I want to hear what you think."

Zhu Houzhao was stunned for a moment. What is there to argue about?

This is not a marriage, just marrying a Mongolian woman.

There were many Mongolians living in the Ming Dynasty, including many in the military, and even many high-ranking people with hereditary titles.

If you really check, there are many Mongolians.

Glancing at his son, he found that he was a little confused. Zhu Youtang smiled and said, "Many people think that it would be detrimental to the royal family's reputation for the current prince to marry a Horqin woman."

"Who said this?" Zhu Houzhao said helplessly.

You must know that in the Ming Dynasty, there were not so many rules for emperors to marry concubines. They just came from ordinary people's families. This was also to avoid the exclusive power of relatives. There were no other requirements. There seemed to be no special regulations for ethnic groups.

The queen may have to think about it, but the concubine has so many things to do.

"It's what those nobles and nobles said." Zhu Youtang said helplessly.

"The British public Zhang Rong opposed it the most fiercely." He also looked weird when talking about this.

Zhu Houzhao's expression was naturally very strange.

Zhu Houzhao knew very well what kind of virtues the nobles of the Ming Dynasty had.

When did they turn into old academics? Can they do such old-fashioned things?

If you think about it for a moment, Zhu Houzhao will realize that he still doesn't want peace talks.
