After Ye Yueqing left, Zhu Ying began his daily homework and reviewed memorials.
This is indispensable every day, and since the grandson was conferred, the old man has become even more bold. The amount of memorials reviewed every day has reached a terrifying level.
In front of Zhu Ying were hundreds of memorials, which not only covered various local matters.
The six memorials were also sent directly to Zhu Ying.
Among them, the Ministry of Personnel includes personnel transfer arrangements and employment status throughout the Ming Dynasty.
The names of the people here are very unfamiliar to Zhu Ying.
So when reading the official memorial, Zhu Ying would call Guo Zhong and Song Zhong over, and if he didn't know them, he would just ask them about the situation.
In fact, it is just like this, a very crude manifestation. He can only have a very superficial understanding of the name, and it is difficult to know specifically whether each official is suitable or not.
It's just that the current situation is difficult to improve in a short period of time, so I can only review it in a daze.
To a large extent, it can only be judged by a name.
This is why in ancient society, a good-sounding and pleasing name was very important.
Because this is very likely to determine the fate of your life.
After the Ministry of Personnel is finished, it will be the Ministry of Rites.
Relatively speaking, the Etiquette Department is much more relaxed. Unless there are special circumstances, it is enough to basically follow the rules.
Next is the household department.
The Ministry of Accounts can be said to be the money bag of the Ming Dynasty. There is nothing careless about it, and there are a large number of accounts in it.
However, Zhu Ying still has a solution for this. In Kunning Palace, he has already mobilized disciples who are proficient in arithmetic from the Qunying Chamber of Commerce to check, classify, and make statistics on the accounts of the entire household department.
These arithmetic-savvy disciples of the Qunying Chamber of Commerce were all trained by Zhu Ying personally. They are trustworthy and capable.
The Ministry of War and the Ministry of Justice have relatively few matters. Generally, the Fifth Army Governor's Office and the Ming Public Security Department can handle them.
Moreover, Zhu Ying was also prepared to abolish some extreme punishments and improve the Ming Law.
The Ministry of Industry is in charge of construction, and the current focus is on crops such as sweet potatoes.
After just such a simple process, two hours passed in the blink of an eye, and it was already dinner time.
Even with Zhu Ying's strong body, she felt slightly tired after working for two hours at a stretch.
One can imagine how much thought the old man put into reviewing the memorials, and how much effort he put into reviewing the memorials, and how much effort he could make to hollow out the body of Prince Zhu Biao.
Perhaps to Zhu Biao, inspecting places feels more like a tourist vacation.
I don’t know if Zhu Biao was treated in the same way at that time. He still had to review the memorial in the carriage on the way.
Just when Zhu Ying was about to go to the Qianqing Palace in front to have dinner with the old man.
Bingbi eunuch Guo Zhong reported: "Your Highness, Prince Ning wants to see you."
Zhu Ying heard this and said: "Let the seventeenth emperor uncle come in."
"Follow orders."
After Zhu Quan came in, he bowed respectfully and said, "Meet His Highness Changsun."
Lords of Heaven and Earth, parents and teachers, in the face of seniority, the royal family is naturally superior.
The relationship between Zhu Quan and Zhu Ying is that of monarch and minister first, and then uncle and nephew.
"Uncle Seventeenth Emperor is too polite to offer you a seat." Zhu Ying said with a smile.
He was relatively familiar with and admired Zhu Quan. Although he did not meet Zhu Quan many times, Zhu Quan did leave a good impression on Zhu Ying.
After Zhu Quan was done, Zhu Ying asked directly: "I wonder what happened when the emperor came here this time."
After Zhu Quan heard this, he stood up and bowed again: "Reporting to Your Highness, I came here this time to thank His Highness for recommending me as the commander-in-chief to quell the Shaanxi rebellion in front of my father."
"I knew that Your Highness was busy a few days ago, so I delayed coming here until today. Please forgive me."
Hearing this, Zhu Ying smiled and joked: "Why, the emperor thanked me, so he did it with nothing."
As soon as these words came out, Zhu Quan, who was always honest, suddenly felt ashamed.
In fact, the royal family is not as noble as the common people, so there is no such thing as giving gifts, and it is not necessary.
So Zhu Quan didn't know how to talk at this moment.
Zhu Ying laughed and said: "Uncle Seventeenth Emperor, you and I have known each other for a long time. We have been familiar with each other since we were outside the palace. How can we have such specialties?"
"But this time when we go to pacify Shaanxi, we still have to be more careful and don't fall into it. If Uncle Seventeen can get enough credit this time, I can ask Grandpa for more arrangements in the future."
Zhu Ying regarded Zhu Quan very highly.
There are many capable people among the royal descendants, but they are also relatively calm in character. They are not as irritable as Zhu Ping and other vassal kings. There are almost none.
Whether it is Qin King Zhu Chen, Jin King Zhu Fan, or Yan King Zhu Di, they are all real warriors.
Only people like Zhu Quan who are good at strategy are called commander-in-chief.
Zhu Ying had great expectations for Zhu Quan, a vassal king who only appeared briefly in history.
This is why Zhu Quan was asked to put down the Shaanxi rebellion.
After Zhu Quan heard this, he solemnly replied: "Your Highness, Changsun, please rest assured that Quan will do his best and will not dare to slack off in any way."
After Zhu Ying heard this, he stood up and walked to Zhu Quan and said, "Although we are uncles and nephews, we are close in age. Grandpa once told me that if you leave the military power to others, how can you rest assured?"
"As the saying goes, father and son go into battle and brothers fight tigers. Only when the military power is in the hands of one's own family can one rest assured. I also believe that Uncle Seventeen will not let me down."
Zhu Ying looked at Zhu Quan closely, and the sincerity in her eyes moved Zhu Quan very much.
Subconsciously, he would kneel to the ground to express his loyalty.
Zhu Ying, with quick eyes and quick hands, grabbed him and said, "You and I, as a family, don't have to do these false rituals. When the emperor's uncle returns from victory, I will personally take care of the emperor's uncle."
"In this expedition, the emperor can bring the Xuanjia Guards with him. The terrain in Shaanxi is complicated, and the rebels occupy favorable terrain. The artillery cannot exert its full power. I believe the matchlock gun will surprise the emperor."
A scholar dies for a confidant.
At this moment, Zhu Quan had already sworn a poisonous oath in his heart that he would devote himself to His Highness Changsun until death.
Zhu Ying sent Zhu Quan to the door.
Although what he just said was a bit of a show, Zhu Ying did indeed attach great importance to Zhu Quan.
The old man has a ruthless vision, and if the old man recognizes talents, it will definitely not be that different.
Winning over Zhu Quan is also in Zhu Ying's interest. There are too many royal descendants, and he needs people like Zhu Quan who can stand on the same front as him when the interests of the vassal king are touched.
Zhu Ying knew very well that once the vassal territories of the vassal kings were changed outside the Ming Dynasty, some conflicts would definitely arise.
Although this is not a big problem, it can easily cause bad effects.
A few helpers are always needed.
When Zhu Ying arrived at Qianqing Palace, the meal was almost ready.
"Dasun, if you still don't come here, we're going to send someone to call you."
"It's important to have a full stomach, otherwise you won't have the energy to review the memorial."
Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile when he saw his eldest grandson, and he didn't seem to feel tired.
Zhu Ying knew that the old man had reviewed many more memorials than he had. Although practice makes perfect, the old man was older now and did not have as much energy as he did.
Thinking of this, Zhu Ying smiled and replied: "Grandpa, you are looking down on me. Although there are indeed more memorials recently, Grandpa still doesn't know who my grandson is. This memorial is very important to my grandson." , it’s really a piece of cake.”
"It won't take long to deal with it. After finishing the daily review, my grandson still feels a little too leisurely."
Hearing what the eldest grandson said, Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Okay, since the eldest grandson feels that there are few, let's arrange more memorials for the eldest grandson. That's fine, and we will have some time to relax."
Hearing this, Zhu Ying smiled and nodded, seeming very satisfied.
There was a trace of bitterness in the depths of his eyes that could not be noticed, which could be regarded as willingness.
During this period of time, Zhu Ying basically ate with the old man every day. He knew in his heart that what the old man needed most now was company.
The old man smiles much more when he is around.
Liu He was waiting on the side. If he could hear Zhu Ying's inner thoughts, he would definitely object.
What do you mean by "a lot"? It's because His Majesty never smiled at all when His Highness Changsun was away.
"I heard that the wine from Dasun Brewery is particularly fragrant?"
When the meal was done, Zhu Yuanzhang asked.
Zhu Ying was a little helpless. Of course, the matter of the brewery could not be hidden from the old man, but he had never told the old man in detail about the high alcohol content, and he had not even brought it to the palace.
I'm just afraid that the old man will fall in love with me.
High-alcohol alcohol is not a good thing for the elderly, so Zhu Ying naturally does not want to give it to the old man.
"Grandpa, the brewery hasn't been set up yet. Even if it is set up, my grandson won't give it to grandpa to drink."
"After this wine has been purified through a special method, it can be consumed ten times as much as it once was. If you are not in the prime of life, it will be very difficult to digest and have a great impact on your health, so grandpa, don't think too much about it."
Zhu Ying said directly, leaving no room for change.
Hearing that Da Sun was so determined, Zhu Yuanzhang could only sigh softly and said: "That's the case, let's just ignore it."
Hearing what the old man said, Zhu Ying suddenly became alert.
The old man is not so easy to explain. He obviously has other ideas.
Although it is inconvenient to pursue and fight fiercely, Zhu Ying has already made sure to secure the winery. When the time comes, the destination of every drop of wine that enters the palace must be traced.
After dinner, Zhu Ying and Zhu Yuanzhang took a walk in the palace together.
It can be regarded as a simple exercise after meals.
"Grandpa, my grandson has recently had an idea and wants to try it out in the capital. I don't know if it is possible." Zhu Ying said.
Zhu Yuanzhang did not thank him very much and asked, "Come and listen to what the great grandson has to say."
Zhu Yingdao: "My grandson is planning to add a new court in this capital, which will be regarded as affiliated with the Ministry of Justice."
This has been planned by Zhu Ying for a long time.
Ruling the country according to law was Zhu Ying's decision for the future of the Ming Dynasty.
Today's Ming Dynasty is very individualistic in trials. Many cases, and even the sentences of criminals, largely depend on the personal preference of the presiding judge.
In such a situation, on the one hand, corruption breeds and power overflows.
Secondly, there are too many good people who have been wronged. It can be said that when the people face the privileged classes, such as nobles and officials, they have no room for resistance at all.
A happy life may be completely ruined just because of a little thing.
