Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 468
Seeing that the year is coming to an end, for Zhu Yunying, this time naturally means more busy.

Not to mention that the matter of distributing the land into the mu itself is progressing in an orderly manner. As long as the general policy has been formulated and the details are constantly being improved, the problem is actually not big.

After all, Zhu Yunying already had a charter in mind for this matter, and he knew exactly how to formulate the system.As for the specific implementation, or modification, etc., the civil and military officials in the hall can also help.

In the final analysis, all the civil and military officials in the Ming Dynasty today have certain real talents and practical learning, and basically they have done the facts, and there are not too many things that do not know the sufferings of the people.

This naturally means that Zhu Yunying doesn't have to worry too much, and she can feel a little more at ease in her heart.

It's just that as the emperor, Zhu Yunying didn't even think about lazy things under such circumstances. Many things had to wait for him to make decisions.

There is no need to say more about the Ministry of Officials. Many officials will be evaluated at the end of the year. This is really not a small matter.

It also includes the household department, the silver and grain in the treasury, one year's expenditure or wealth income, etc. Zhu Yunying must also go through the purpose at this time, and must not be sloppy at this time.

Even the Ministry of Punishment and the Ministry of War, etc., each of them can't be idle, the inspection that needs to be checked, the investigation that needs to be investigated, one by one, there is no way to make Zhu Yunying feel at ease.

And the Ministry of Rites needs to do a lot of things, such as considering the various ceremonies at the end of the year, etc., and the coming three years of Yingshi.

The Ministry of Industry has no choice but to be idle, and has to consider some major national projects, etc. They know that Emperor Yingshi attaches great importance and care to these matters.

All this means that Zhu Yunying can't be lazy at all, and all this also means that Zhu Yunying needs to be more busy during this time.

Fortunately, Zhu Yunying enjoyed these things.He is not afraid of being busy, but he is afraid of being idle and having nothing to do. That is the worst situation Zhu Yunying thinks, and it is also the most difficult thing to make people feel at ease.

Seeing that Xiao Zhu was very busy, and Lao Zhu who loved his grandson couldn't be free, he came to the Hall of Martial Arts from time to time, or simply asked someone to send the memorial to Qianqing Palace, and he directly reviewed it.

It was different from the past, if it was the past, Zhu Yunying had finished approving the memorial and sent it to Lao Zhu for review and review, although in most cases Lao Zhu would not change some of Xiao Zhu's decisions.But now, Lao Zhu is relieved of Xiao Zhu's handling of the government affairs.

At this time, Lao Zhu was directly reviewing the memorials. The two emperors worked together, which naturally meant that the work efficiency was improved.

"My lord, Your Highness is requesting an order, and I hope that my lord will be the master and appoint the chief examiner." Wang Chengen knelt down politely and said.

Lao Zhu put down the writing brush in his hand and looked at Wang Chengen, "Let us decide? The emperor is really lazy. He should be the one who decides the court's talent ceremony. The examiner he ordered must be reused. Go back and tell him , we don’t make the decisions, he makes the decisions himself.”

Wang Chengen showed a flattering smile, and said, "My lord, don't embarrass your servants. If your lord doesn't point out someone, you won't let your servants go back. My lord, His Highness the crown prince is in the Hall of Talents, and His Majesty said he's holding it."

Old Zhu couldn't laugh or cry, and said with a smile, "what is the virtue of the master, what is the virtue of the servant girl! We remember that we asked you to follow Ying'er before because we thought you were cautious. In the past ten or twenty years, look at you. What kind of virtue!"

Naturally, Wang Chengen just smiled at this time, he was still very grateful to be sent to the side of the then emperor's grandson.

Lao Zhu thought for a while and asked, "What does the emperor want from the chief examiner? We haven't dealt with government affairs in the past two years, and we don't know much about the civil servants and generals in the court."

Wang Chengen smiled even more flatteringly, and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty said that the Emperor must know the court well. Your Majesty said that if the Emperor refuses, he will come here later by himself. The Emperor also said , he wants someone who is mature and prudent."

"Ru Yu." Old Zhu said directly without thinking too much, "The last imperial examination was conducted by Ru Yu, and this time it should be Ru Yu's examiner. After all, he is Ying'er's Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and he is also a newcomer. There are quite a few old people, and they may not all be convinced by Ru Yuan. Give him a chance and go to the main exam again."

Naturally, Wang Chengen knelt down and obeyed obediently. He only needed to be a good mouthpiece for these matters, and he didn't need to have any opinions.

At this time, Lao Zhu continued, "If someone in the court opposes it, let the emperor stand up to it. Ru Xun understands the emperor's mind best, and he knows what kind of scholar he should take. Even if it doesn't work right now, after five years , Ten years, some people should be able to show their heads."

Wang Chengen flattered and said, "The emperor is far-sighted."

"What kind of flattery!" Lao Zhu scolded with a grin, "Tell me yourself, does the emperor also like Ruyu?"

Seeing Wang Chengen nodding, Lao Zhu said with a smile, "Go back and tell the emperor not to think about routines. So what if Ruyu took the exam once? Ruyu has that ability and ability, and the emperor should not stick to the old rules. Emperor, you have to do what ordinary people can't do, you need some courage and foresight, don't worry about the rest."

In fact, Lao Zhu could somewhat understand some of Zhu Yunying's thoughts and ideas, and he really didn't care about some things.

For example, this time, Lao Zhu felt that there must be nothing wrong with Ru Yu being the main examiner, but Xiao Zhu also thought that it was a good thing for Ru Yu to be the main examiner.The only thing Xiao Zhu was worried about was that Ru Yu had already taken the main exam once before.

It's just that at this time, Lao Zhu didn't care about the routine and irregularities at all, and he had to do things in a down-to-earth manner when it was time to do things.

Wang Chengen came back and brought some suggestions from Lao Zhu, and Zhu Yunying couldn't help laughing.

It seems that everyone is a talented and generous emperor, so everyone's opinions can be regarded as coincident.

"Ru Yu is more suitable after all. If he comes here, there will be a continuity for us to select scholars." Zhu Yunying laughed and said, "Even if there are no amazing talents in the first two subjects, they should be Somebody who is available."

This is what Zhu Yunying said in his heart, and he really felt that he should do this.

Although the current imperial examinations are basically the Four Books and Five Classics, they seem to be out-and-out "literature students", and even many people only know the Four Books and Five Classics, which is the so-called "high score and low ability".

But Zhu Yunying has never resisted or opposed the imperial examination and the college entrance examination.There is no so-called perfect method of screening talents, he can only choose some methods that seem more fair and just.

For example, the imperial examination and the college entrance examination can still screen out many talents, and you can screen out some relatively intelligent people.

This is what Zhu Yunying should do, and he doesn't have much idea of ​​changing the imperial examination for the time being.At most, for the Four Books and Five Classics, we still have to take what should be taken.As for the certain dross, it also needs to be changed slightly.

For example, Lao Zhu likes stereotyped writing, and thinks it is the best way to get a scholar. Naturally, there are advantages and disadvantages in this.

In fact, if we really want to talk about the stereotyped selection of scholars, it is really just the beginning of Lao Zhu, and the real formation of the stereotyped selection of scholars was also a matter during the Chenghua period.

So this means that Zhu Yunying needs to change a little now, and there is no big problem.This naturally means that there is a certain degree of difficulty, but generally speaking, it does not mean that the ancestral system has been formed and cannot be changed at all.

This is a very good thing for Zhu Yunying, he just needs to deal with some problems a little bit.

The continuity of the policy, through the two imperial examinations after Emperor Yingshi ascended the throne, many people can also see some clues. It can be seen that the imperial court is now taking a direction, which also means that many smart people know what to learn.

After all, it is not easy for Zhu Yunying to change the direction of the imperial examination directly and cleanly, and he can only make some fine-tuning within a certain framework.

Ru Yu was summoned into the Hall of Martial Heroes, and Zhu Yunying went straight to the point, "There are also people in the court these days who are going to be the chief examiner, next year's spring will be a big event, and the court's selection of scholars is never something that can be sloppy. We don't feel very relieved about other people, This time, it's better that you preside over the imperial examination."

Although Ru Yu was excited, she still said, "Your Majesty, after all, I have presided over the spring chamber once."

"Not only do we care about you, but the Supreme Emperor also cares about you." Zhu Yunying smiled and said to Ru Yu, "You are the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and we also know that you should build more prestige. Besides, we are the new king after all. Ascending the throne, you have a lot of thoughts and ideas. You have always been by our side and know some of our thoughts."

Hearing what Zhu Yunying said, Ru Yu felt that it was indeed his duty to do so, and she was also a little excited.

After all, he is a heavenly official of the Ministry of Officials, but many people also know that Ru Yu can become the head of civil servants, mainly because he was the first to be with Emperor Yingshi, which also makes his starting point and opportunity completely different from other officials who have suffered.

Many people are also a little dissatisfied, or it can be said that they are extremely jealous.Many people are suffering, or many people are preparing for Dazhu's enthronement and then being reused.

But who would have thought that Da Zhu, who was ready to be the emperor, would die so young, and who would have thought that many people would lose their chances with the team of courtiers that had been built for Da Zhu.

After Emperor Yingshi came to the throne, people like Ru Yu jumped out to pick peaches, which made many people really not know what to say.Maybe this is fate, the fate of people like Ru Yu and Yan Zhenzhi is good, that's the only conclusion.

Zhu Yunying was in a good mood, and after a brief communication with Ruyu, Zhu Yunying felt more at ease.Things like the talent ceremony must not be underestimated. The court needs to have more talent reserves in the future, so it needs to pay attention to talents.

This is not just about selecting scholars, it is also an assessment for the court's reserve talents and officials.Even though Zhu Yunying doesn't seem to lack capable civil servants and military generals now, Zhu Yunying never thinks that he should be complacent.

Jiangshan has talented people on behalf of the people, and they have been leading the way for hundreds of years.

What Zhu Yunying needs is to constantly excavate and cultivate talents, and the court also needs constant emergence of talents.

After Ru Yu left, Zhu Yunying naturally needed to continue to work. He still had a lot of things to do.

When Lao Zhu and Xiao Zhu were busy with their feet not touching the ground, Xiao Zhu from the Hall of Talents sat on a chair solemnly.His chair was relatively wide, and he sat on it as if he was sitting on a kang, but there was no problem.

"Uncle!" Little Zhu said, "Where is my cousin?"

Xu Huizu immediately said, "His Royal Highness, Xu Qin has also returned to Fengyang."

At this time, Shuangquan cautiously suggested, "Your Highness, there are only monarchs and ministers facing up."

"Why are there only monarchs and ministers?!" Little Zhu was dissatisfied, and roared with a chubby face, "The Supreme Emperor and Father Emperor both have relatives! We are the crown prince, we also have uncles, and we also have uncles!"

Naturally, Shuang Quan quickly knelt down and apologized, he felt that he was talking too much.But he can't do anything about it, some things are not his own blind decision, it's naturally the emperor's order.

It's just obvious that the crown prince doesn't buy it at all.

Looking at Xu Huizu, Xiao Zhu continued, "Has cousin returned to his hometown? Is it to worship ancestors?"

Xu Huizu immediately said, "Return to Your Highness, yes."

Little Zhu said as a matter of course, "Shuangquan, bestow funeral ceremony."

This time Xu Huizu and Shuangquan were very depressed. Xu Qin went back to his hometown with his third uncle to worship his ancestors. That was not worshiping his grandfather, but his great-grandfather and great-grandfather.It is obviously inappropriate to talk about funeral rites at this time.

Just to correct the crown prince, they obviously have nothing to do, and it can even be said that they have no such right.

Little Zhu is also a smart person, although he is a bit belated, "Is the funeral ceremony wrong?"

Shuangquan knelt down, and said cautiously, "Your Highness, the ancestor of King Zhongshan has passed away for many years, and the funeral ceremony may not be needed."

Little Zhu suddenly understood, and said, "Then let's go back and talk to the queen mother, and let the queen mother make the decision. We are the heirs of the old Zhu family, and we are both perfect. If we go to Xiaoling, can we?"

Shuangquan hurriedly knelt down and became even more respectful, "Returning to Your Highness, slaves and maidservants dare not make the decision, the Supreme Emperor and His Majesty should make the decision on this matter."

"Uncle, follow me when the time comes." Little Zhu took it for granted, and said, "Our father said, you follow us when we go out, or our second uncle and younger uncle follow. When our father goes out, it is our uncle and grandpa follow."

Xu Huizu's expression was serious, and he just said solemnly, "The minister leads the order."

If the crown prince goes out, of course the Xu family will follow.It is true that they are the courtiers of Emperor Yingshi, but they are also undoubtedly the crown prince's team, a natural team, must support the crown prince!
