The next day, according to the rules, the officials congratulated the Ming Dynasty on having a crown prince. In addition to the officials in Beijing, officials from the prefectures and counties directly under the Central Government also made time to congratulate today, so there was a snowstorm of congratulatory memorials today.
Arrive at the General Affairs Department.
Lao Zhu went down to court and called Yunxi to the Jinshen Hall, and then handed him all the celebration notes and asked him to take a good look at them to see if he could understand anything. It took Yunxi a whole morning to read all the celebration notes.
fold.
When I first read the first two, I didn't think so. But as I read more, I found that these excerpts can be divided into several categories.
The first category is those who simply celebrate the book. These people who post the book just follow the crowd and have no specific purpose. They have to do it because of the rules. Maybe they didn’t write the book themselves.
The second category is those who are overly flattering. These people because Zhu Biao was in charge of the celebration album when he was the prince, so they guessed that this time it was Yunxi who was in charge of the celebration album, so they kept praising Yunxi on the album.
, praised Yunxi for surpassing Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, Renzong of the Song Dynasty and others before he became emperor, and went directly to Dayu who controlled the floods. Yunxi could not see at all that the person they praised was himself.
The third category is those with other purposes. This category is represented by the great scholar Liu Sanwu. Because after the death of Zhu Xiongying (the eldest son and legitimate son of Zhu Biao), Yunxi became the de facto eldest grandson, so even if they, the great Confucians,
Yunxi's ideas were not to their liking, but there was no reason to object to him becoming the emperor's grandson.
However, they included a large number of private goods in this celebration, and various words similar to "It is better to appoint the assistant ministers of the East Palace as soon as possible and teach them the way of saints" were constantly heard, which made Yunxi dumbfounded.
After dinner at noon, when Lao Zhu asked Yun Xi what he had learned from the celebration, Yun Xi told Lao Zhu what he had thought of. Lao Zhu was very pleased.
He said happily: "You are really smart, better than Biao'er in this regard. When Biao'er was canonized as crown prince, he was already fourteen years old, but only one year younger than you, but he didn't notice it at all.
Or I may think that some of the excerpts have something to say."
Yunxi scratched his head in embarrassment. He is not a fourteen-year-old child now, but a person with a twenty-four-year-old adult heart. It would be too naive if he couldn't even see this. So he
I was too embarrassed to answer the question, so I just said "Uh-huh".
This morning, in addition to the official celebration, all the wives also came to the palace to congratulate. The first wife of today is Lan Yu's wife. In fact, it would be more appropriate for Feng Sheng's wife to be the first. After all, Feng Sheng is the sixth Duke of the founding of the country.
One. However, the person who was canonized as the grandson of the emperor was Yunxi, Lan Yu's great-aunt, and Chang Yuchun was already dead. It was unlucky to have Chang Yuchun's wife take the first place on this great day, so they pushed and recommended her.
Lan Yu’s wife.
Today, it was Concubine Guo Ning who accepted the congratulations on behalf of the Queen, and Concubine Lu did not even show up. Everyone speculated that Concubine Lu was involved in the big scandal involving Yun Xi in the palace that made Jin Yiwei come back two days ago.
case, and Concubine Lu should disappear from the political life of the Ming Dynasty in the future.
But this has nothing to do with Yunxi. In the afternoon, Yunxi came to the Ministry of Accounts. The formal treasure banknote exchange plan will start tomorrow, so he has to prepare well this afternoon.
When they arrived at the Ministry of Revenue, all the officials bowed and saluted, and Yunxi bowed slightly in return. This time, the Ministry of Revenue was quite considerate. Zhao Mian gathered all the officials together and saluted, and Yunxi from the province got one
One of them went to return the gift.
Then Yunxi walked into Bashu's office. He had been here many times. He was familiar with the roads and didn't need anyone's guidance. He walked in naturally and looked for Li Ren, the doctor.
Yuanwailang Zhao Yi followed and said: "Your Highness, Mr. Li went to the place where treasure notes were exchanged for food today and has not come back yet."
Yunxi heard him talking and replied: "Then go over there and have a look."
Zhao Yi said: "Do you need me to accompany you?"
Yunxi listened to his tone and looked at the piles of official documents on his desk. He knew that he didn't want to go because he had too much work, so he said: "You don't need to do it here. Because of the treasure money, let's
Your already busy work has become even busier, and I am very sorry to go. I went back in the evening, and I will talk to His Majesty and temporarily deploy a few officials to Bashu Division to help."
Zhao Yi replied: "Thank you very much, Your Highness. The affairs of our department are really busy these days. All colleagues and scribes are busy every night until the curfew." Other officials of the Bashu Department could not answer the question.
, but they all expressed their approval.
After Yunxi heard what he said, he replied: "When I am done with my work these days, I will ask your Majesty for your merits. Dear scribes, I will also promote one person or more to official officials."
Everyone immediately put away their previous expressions and turned into joy. Yunxi has always been reliable in his words, and he did not say too much. Asking for merit does not necessarily mean that he will be promoted, and he may be rewarded with something. As for a few
Ninth-grade official Lao Zhu doesn't care either.
But this is still very gratifying. The officials are glad that their names will be remembered. The scribes are overjoyed because it is too difficult to be promoted from a clerk to a formal official.
Goodbye; during Lao Zhu's period, there was still great arbitrariness in promoting officials, but he would rather promote Bai Shen who had a good reputation in the countryside than generally promote officials.
Yunxi said a few more polite words to them and walked out of the gate of Bashu Division. As he was walking out, he saw the Shangshu's office and thought: Bashu Division is so busy now, but other departments should be fine, so he should look for them from other departments first.
It would be nice if someone came to help at short notice. So he walked into the minister's office.
Zhao Mian is reviewing the autumn grain bills sent from various places. Most of the collection and statistics of autumn grains are handled by the Bashu Division and the Guangxi Division. Officials from these two divisions have compiled the statistics and summarized them and handed them to Zhao Mian for review.
Of course there were footsteps when Yunxi walked in, so Zhao Mian would not react until he came up to him. After he saluted Yunxi, Yunxi didn't waste any time and said: "These days, Bashu Division is working
The workload is heavy, and all the officials are already overwhelmed. Can Zhao Shangshu transfer a few people from other departments to temporarily help in the Bashu Department? Let them go back when they are finished."
Of course, Zhao Mian is unwilling to refute Yun Xi's reputation. But the problem is that he really can't recruit anyone now.
He smiled bitterly and said: "Your Highness, I also know that the Bashu Division has a lot of official duties now, but other divisions are not easy either! The Guangxi Division is also responsible for autumn grain matters and cannot transfer anyone; the Zhejiang Division and the Huguang Division are in charge of the guards in Beijing
He Yamen's food and salary department can't recruit people at all; the Shandong Division is responsible for the salt wells across the country, and the salt tax is not easy; the other departments are the same, and they can't recruit people."
Seeing what he said, Yunxi knew that it was from the Ministry of Finance. He really couldn't send anyone out, so he had no choice but to leave it alone. After saying a few polite words, he went out and got on his horse and rushed to the place where the treasure banknotes were exchanged.
Now Wang Bu's riding skills have greatly improved, and he can barely keep up with Yunxi and the others without falling behind. But the price is that he has to have other eunuchs apply medicine on his butt every night, and even apply anesthesia.
Let him feel no pain.
After a while, a group of people arrived at the exchange location. Yunxi asked several guards to lead the horses and put them in the tying area of Wu Dewei, and then led the rest of the people into the venue. There were people constantly coming in and out along the way.
out.
Li Ren, the doctor of the Bashu Division, was working in the open space at the desk where the officials had taken back the treasure notes, and kept giving instructions. Yunxi and his party approached and heard Li Ren say to one person: "You let
The craftsmen will sprinkle strips of lime powder on the ground tomorrow morning so that the queues of the people will not be disrupted." Then he turned to another person and said: "Go and tell Yingtian Mansion again, the Yamen of Yingtian Mansion,
Everyone must be here before three quarters tomorrow." Then he turned around and ordered others.
