After discussing the Ming Dynasty's response to the upcoming war, Qian Qianyi stood up and said.
"Your Highness, the preparations for the enthronement ceremony have been completed, and the corresponding procedures have also been prepared for various emergencies."
"All that's left to do is to ask the Fifth Army Commander-in-Chief to dispatch the various troops participating in the military parade and roughly go through the review process, which is considered a dress rehearsal!"
Zhu Hongyu nodded slightly when he heard this, turned his gaze to Shi Yongxin, and gave instructions.
"The Fifth Army Governor's Mansion will make appropriate arrangements!"
"Recently, all the work of the imperial court must be compromised for the enthronement ceremony. There must not be any accidents during the enthronement ceremony."
Shi Yongxin clasped his fists and said.
"You will eventually understand!"
"Please rest assured, Your Highness, the soldiers will definitely live up to Your Highness's expectations!"
Zhu Hongyu nodded slightly, his face full of satisfaction.
After everyone retreated, Zhu Hongyu sat alone on a chair, with a trace of thought flashing deep in his eyes.
He could see that the tit-for-tat confrontation between Li Guangyuan and Zheng Chenggong just now had a hint of party struggle!
Although what both of them said has some truth, no one can guarantee whether they are opposing for the sake of opposing.
However, the reason why this partisan struggle developed is actually inseparable from Zhu Hongyu's fueling the flames behind the scenes.
Again, if all the ministers below are monolithic, the emperor will not be able to sleep at night!
Party struggle that does not get out of control is actually one of the important means for a king to rule the world!
Only when the people below are fighting can the emperor sit in the middle and rule the world.
When emperors such as Jiajing, Wanli, and Tianqi were in power, the party struggles in the Ming Dynasty were not necessarily less than those in the late Ming Dynasty.
However, the Ming Emperor at that time was able to control the situation, so party disputes could not affect the normal operation of the Ming Dynasty.
Party strife is just an embellishment of political life in the court, not everything!
And during the Chongzhen period, when Chongzhen, a tough man who had never received imperial education, was promoted to the throne...
Very well, the party struggle in the Ming Dynasty was completely out of control, and the party struggle successfully became one of the main culprits of the demise of the Ming Dynasty!
In the late Ming Dynasty, when social conflicts were unprecedentedly intense and natural and man-made disasters continued, officials only knew about party disputes, and no one really did anything.
This led to the eventual demise of the Ming Dynasty!
To put it bluntly, party strife is not a scourge, it is party strife that gets out of control!
Party struggle itself is a big circle, a circle that no one can escape from at all times and in all countries!
As long as the ministers in the court still have selfish motives and human desires, party strife will be inevitable.
All Zhu Hongyu can do is guide.
Avoid those vicious party disputes that only involve party fighting and do nothing, and oppose because of opposition.
We advocate healthy party struggle in which both sides compete to get things done!
That's all!
The current party disputes in the Ming Dynasty are what Zhu Hongyu is happy to see.
…
The twentieth year of Yongli in the Ming Dynasty, early June!
At this time, the atmosphere in Nanjing was unprecedentedly warm.
Countless people of the Ming Dynasty spontaneously walked to the streets to watch the rehearsal of the majestic and grand military parade.
According to the arrangement, the troops took turns walking in unison, walking through the streets and heading towards the imperial city.
Although it was not a formal military parade, the majestic military might, the neat formations, and the murderous aura that came to their faces still made many people look straight and feel a sense of awe from the bottom of their hearts.
In the crowd, a young man wearing brocade clothes looked at the rehearsal of the military parade and was speechless.
"The Ming Dynasty deserves to be the king of the Han family, it is really majestic!"
The young man is wearing a hat. If you lift the hat, you will find that there is a bald patch on the top of his head. Apparently he has just cut his braids.
Such an image was actually very common in Jiangnan at this time.
The Ming Dynasty had just regained Jiangnan for half a year. Some people had just had their braids cut and their hair had not had time to grow back.
If you are not a monk, having a big bald head is really unsightly, so many people wear hats to cover up their appearance.
Behind the young man was a book boy, looking at the beautiful and straight military uniforms of the Ming soldiers, his face full of envy.
"That dress is so beautiful!"
The folding fan in the young man's hand shook. He glanced at his book boy and said.
"It's not just beautiful to look at. The army in front of you is the imperial guard division of His Royal Highness Jianguo. It is the most capable army in the entire Ming Dynasty. It is equivalent to the former Beijing Camp."
The book boy nodded in understanding.
As the Ming army rehearsed the military parade, elite soldiers and horses passed through the city of Nanjing. Their neat steps and mighty armor gave people a strong sense of oppression.
With the rehearsal of this military parade by the Ming army, the small emotions that originally arose among the people in the south of the Yangtze River because Zhu Hongyu wanted to investigate the Dingkou farmland spontaneously disappeared.
After seeing the military power of the Ming Dynasty, many landowners and gentry felt happy in their hearts, glad that they did not choose to disobey His Majesty's order.
…
In the woodshed of a restaurant, Lu Wenzhao was holding a book, reading silently and attentively, turning the pages from time to time.
The pages of the book were turned, making a clattering sound.
The focused look on his face showed that he was really working hard.
However, what he recited was not the Four Books and Five Classics, but legal books such as "Da Ming Law" and "Ming Da Gao".
Beside him, another young man was also writing something at his desk, and a string of Arabic numerals that had become fashionable recently appeared on the paper.
He is concentrating on doing math!
The bustling city of Nanjing is intoxicating, but it does not affect the scholars like them who are really studying hard at their desks.
As the day when the Ming Dynasty Supervisor ascended the throne was approaching, the date when the imperial examination was held was also approaching.
Before that, every day, every hour, every minute and every second, time is precious.
It’s too late to study hard at your desk, so where can you find the free energy to go outside and watch the fun?
Perhaps some children from wealthy families still have the leisure to go out and see the scenery of Nanjing.
But people like them, who were so poor that they had to share a woodshed in an inn, didn't have the capital to go out and wander around at this time.
Who knows whether the knowledge point they are memorizing now will be the key to their success in the imperial examination?
The opportunity to change your destiny and jump up the social ladder is right in front of you. A child from a poor family who has suffered from too much food since childhood will not be lazy at this time.
Lu Wenzhao put down the "Da Ming Rule" in his hand and began to recite it by himself.
Laws and orders passed through his mind, and related cases were matched one by one.
Finally, Lu Wenzhao let out a heavy breath, took a sip of the tea provided by the restaurant, and said.
"I have been memorizing the laws all morning, which makes me dizzy!"
Not far away, Cao Yun raised his head and said with a wry smile.
"It's nothing to memorize laws and regulations. Come and try my arithmetic. After studying it all morning, I'm going to feel dizzy!"
