When I got up the next day.

Xu Miaojin felt that her whole body was limp and she had no strength.

In fact, sleeping before marriage is against contemporary secular morals, but if Zhu Ying is the emperor's grandson, it will be a little different.

Naturally, there is no need to go to the morning ritual.

After all, the old man is here, right?

In the palace.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the ministers in Fengtian Palace and felt a little speechless.

If I thought about this, I wouldn't have to worry about morning affairs in the future.

I agreed to leave it to Da Sun to do it, but the result was that it ended up being his own fault.

Fortunately, Zhu Yuanzhang was quite satisfied with the situation last night. After all, it was for the sake of the expansion of the old Zhu family and he was more able to think things through.

I have more than twenty sons, and my eldest grandson’s ability seems to be much stronger than mine. And he is only in his early twenties, so why not give birth to hundreds of sons?

Thinking that he might have hundreds of great-grandchildren, the corners of Zhu Yuanzhang's mouth could not help but curl up slightly.

The minister below looked at it and immediately knew that today's morning was going to be a good one.

Your Majesty is in a pretty good mood today.

Today's morning meetings are no longer as cumbersome as in the past. They basically just report and summarize the latest situations in various places.

The only things that need to be discussed are some big things.

The morning meeting is almost a regular meeting now.

Now Zhu Yuanzhang is thinking that he may not need to open it every day.

Or maybe it will be opened once every few days in the future?

This is not to say that Zhu Yuanzhang is not diligent, but that he finds that there seems to be nothing going on in today's morning court.

Slightly larger matters can basically be settled through discussion among a few ministers in Huagai Palace.

Just like today, it hasn't even been half an hour yet, and the morning court is almost gone.

Because no one knew what to say.

Daily work reports and summaries are also submitted for review every seven days. Some minor aspects, according to current rules, do not need to be reported separately to the court.

Everyone just needs to perform their duties, and the work efficiency will be much higher than before.

For example, at the Ministry of Criminal Justice, each case will be classified and graded according to the circumstances.

There is a time limit for completion and the filing of detailed evidence.

If it is not completed within the stipulated time, then it must be submitted to the third division for review to determine the reasons.

Is it a problem with the Ministry of Criminal Justice, or is the case more difficult?

With this rule in place, any official who wants to advance in his official career must pay attention to efficiency.

The Ministry of Personnel also has strict restrictions on the daily work conditions of officials.

If you don't have enough qualifications and work efficiency, you won't be promoted, and you won't even have the opportunity to be on the waiting list.

The entire officialdom of the Ming Dynasty has now begun to involute.

And if the work efficiency is not up to standard for a long time, the staff department will also conduct an assessment.

If you fail the assessment, you will usually be demoted.

Even the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel no longer has the ability to be promoted beyond the level. Even if there are particularly outstanding talents, the power to make extraordinary promotions is still in the hands of the emperor himself.

Once illegal operations are discovered, the most likely result will be a demotion. Even if the rank is relatively high, the employee will be directly demoted to a commoner and exempted from official status.

These days, it is no longer just a matter of being recommended to become an official, or that one can steadily advance by getting a job title.

The establishment of rules and regulations for each department also made the emperor himself more relaxed.

Under such circumstances, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that it was no longer necessary to hold morning court every day.

"Starting today, without our decree, the morning court will be changed to once every two days."

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty."

Zhu Yuanzhang was still more rigorous and did not directly change it to once every three days or more. He first set a morning court meeting every two days.

In this case, at least I can still have something to say every time I go to court in the morning.

It won't be like today, where after a set of procedures and rituals are completed and reported piecemeal, there will be nothing to say.

The ministers were also extremely excited.

If they don't have to rush to morning, they can sleep a little longer in the morning.

Especially in this cold winter, who doesn't want to lie in a warm bed for a while.

After the dispersion of the dynasty.

Xu Zengshou, who is the Left Governor of the Right Army Governor's Mansion, is preparing to go home.

When he went out, His Highness Taisun hadn't gotten up yet, so he had to go back quickly to take care of him.

"Captain Xu, please stay."

As soon as he stepped out of the palace gate, the voice of Liu He, the eunuch in charge of the ceremony, came from beside him.

"Eunuch Liu, what's going on?"

Xu Zengshou asked with a smile.

Liu He also smiled and said, "Your Majesty summoned Governor Xu to the rear hall for questioning. Please also ask Governor Xu to come with our family to meet with Your Majesty."

Xu Zengshou smiled happily. Of course he knew why His Majesty was looking for him.

It must have a lot to do with my little sister.

"Your Majesty, Xu Zengshou, pays homage to your Majesty."

"Get flat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Xu Zengshou in front of him and asked: "We heard that the eldest grandson slept in the Zhongshan Prince's Mansion yesterday?"

Xu Zengshou hurriedly said: "Yesterday, His Royal Highness the Grand Sun and his younger sister Xu Miaojin went to the mansion for a dinner. During the dinner, they drank two more drinks, so they rested in the mansion."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, he naturally understood the basic situation.

He said: "Xu Miaojin is a good child. We have actually discussed with Concubine Ning before about letting her come into the palace."

"The current situation is not bad. The position of a noble concubine will be indispensable in the future. After all, she is Xu Da's daughter. It is impossible for us to say that we have treated her badly."

Xu Zengshou said quickly: "It is naturally my little sister's blessing to be favored by His Majesty the Grand Sun."

"Your Majesty, you don't know something. My little sister has always kept it in mind since she met His Highness the Grand Sun in the early years. In the past two years, even when she reached the age of leaving the cabinet, she has never seen anyone before."

"Now I finally got what I wanted. As my elder brother, I can finally put an end to my worries."

After Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he nodded slightly.

After pondering for a while, he said: "You have been in the capital for many years, but do you have any ideas to go out and experience it?" Yuan

When Xu Zengshou heard this, he was very happy.

He said: "I obey your Majesty's instructions."

Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while and said, "We remember that you have a good relationship with Lao Si. He will be coming back soon. After the new year, he will probably go to Japan."

"When the time comes, just go with him."

Xu Zengshou did not expect that His Majesty would give him such a good job.

You must know that the place where the current generals want to go most is the Japanese country. This small country that everyone once thought was insignificant has now become the biggest hot potato.

The reason here is also very simple. Nowadays, the Japanese shipping industry has to transport a large amount of silver to the Ming Dynasty every quarter.

To do this job, there is enough oil and water in it.

Anyone with a little knowledge will understand that the Japanese country will not lack opportunities to gain credit in the future. How can a mere small country be qualified to sit on mountains of gold and silver?

In the future, when the Japanese countries are pacified, they will definitely be rewarded based on their merits.

With credit and plenty of fuel, it can be said to be the best job there is.

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty."

Xu Zengshou immediately kowtowed and kept kowtowing.

.....Yuan

"This capital of the Ming Dynasty is really completely different every time I come back."

"My king's eldest nephew is really very capable. I never imagined that he could develop to such a huge scale."

Under the Zhengyang Gate, Zhu Di, his two sons, and the accompanying trusted generals finally returned to the capital after a long journey.
