Eighth year of Chongzhen

Chapter 690 The Future Successor

"Ma'am, what are you talking about? No matter what, my husband and I have been married to you for [-] years, not to mention that you gave birth to the enemy and Yan'er for the Sun family. Such affection is beyond the reach of others." replace!
If it weren't for the mother's sudden whim this time, how could the husband be so leisurely.

Under the busy state affairs, as a minister trusted by the Holy Majesty, I really don't have the energy to think about other things as my husband.

In desperation this time, you have been wronged, my dear wife, alas!

By the way, is there any letter from Kedi?
For the father, I plan to take a name for him when he is crowned. I don't know when I will return after this trip. Let's wait for him to come back! "

Although it has been common for a man to have three wives and four concubines since ancient times, Sun Chuanting, who lived in the last days of the dynasty, took it upon himself to settle the affairs of the king and win the life and death. After Qingyun went straight up, he assisted Ming Jun, helped the country, and made the world brighter, so he didn't care too much about female sex.

But the short career after becoming an official in the pilot test disappointed him.

During the years when he resigned from office and returned home, Sun Chuanting, who saw the situation in Ming Dynasty deteriorating day by day, was even more worried. Regarding Sun Li's overtly and secretly proposed more concubines and spreading branches and leaves for the Sun family, he always thought that he was preparing to become an official and serve the country. To evade the past, until today I really can't refuse my mother's wishes, so I reluctantly agreed to take a concubine.

Sun Chuanting's only son, Sun Kedi, has reached the age of weak crown. He was also sent to Hubei Province to participate in resettlement related affairs when he was studying in the Imperial Academy. Let Sun Li worry about it.

While Sun Chuanting and his wife were talking, Zhu Youjian in the palace also recorded occasional inspirations on the imperial case of the Qianqing Palace, one of which was related to Sun Kedi.

Sun Kedi, who is only 20 years old, is not as upright as Sun Chuanting. He is quite smooth and sophisticated in dealing with others, and has a wide range of friends. A gentleman.

When dealing with others, no matter whether the other party is a peddler or a literati, Sun Kedi can put down his posture and get along with him as an equal. His words never make people feel that he has any arrogance in his behavior. This kind of easy-going and friendly His style of acting is very popular with others.

Even the young Zhu Cihong mentioned Sun Kedi's name more than once after returning to the palace when he was resting and muting, and he did not hesitate to praise the son of a family who was seven or eight years older than him.

For this reason, Zhu Youjian also specially ordered Jin Yiwei to arrange manpower to collect relevant information about Sun Kedi, while gaining a more accurate understanding and cognition of the son of the famous official.

Sun Kedi was sent to Hubei by Zhu Youjian's special name last year.

Zhu Youjian knew in his heart that there were many people in history who appeared to be individuals but did not have outstanding talents. Only through continuous observation and testing can their authenticity be verified in the end.

The work of resettlement is hard and tiring. This kind of form, which is similar to that of later generations of educated youths going to the mountains and the countryside, is the best time to test a person's quality.

If Sun Kedi can maintain his current style of dealing with people in a difficult environment, Zhu Youjian will train him as a future prince and assistant minister.

If Sun Kedi showed dissatisfaction, his future prospects would be very limited.

So far, two sons of the cabinet minister's family have entered Zhu Youjian's sight.

One is Wen Tiren's second son, Wen Kan.

The other is Sun Kedi.

Judging from the summary of information sent by various parties, Wen Kan, who has failed many times, has performed very well in his job at Sinong Temple. If it weren't for his lack of qualifications, Zhu Youjian would like to promote him to the first rank. The provincial governor is promoted to a high-ranking official position.

Since Wen Kan first took the relevant personnel of Sinong Temple to Hubei last year, for nearly a year now, except for a few days of rest due to illness, most of the rest of the time has been traveling between relevant prefectures and counties. During the period, using all kinds of accumulated knowledge, he personally guided the farmers to open up wasteland and cultivate. Sometimes they lived and boarded in the countryside, and even squatted in the fields with their rice bowls in their hands while chatting with the farmers. This extremely pragmatic style made Zhu You Jian An is full of praise.

From Wen Kandi, he saw the figure of the group of outstanding cadres at the beginning of the founding of New China, which was extremely rare in feudal society.

Regardless of whether it comes from Wen Tiren's instruction or Wen Kan's initiative and self-consciousness, this fine style deserves to be strongly advocated and commended.

This new style of officialdom has already spread in the north. With the orderly dispatch of northern officials to the Jiangnan region as chief officials, Zhu Youjian believes that in another five years, up to ten years, the official style of the entire Ming Dynasty will change. will be completely new.

Officials who talk to each other will be despised, ostracized, and left idle.

Pragmatism and hard work will become the mainstream of the officialdom, and even the whole society, high-spirited and forging ahead will become the mainstream, and prosperity will become the main atmosphere of Ming Dynasty. Only in this world will everyone have full energy to stride forward.

As long as Wen Kan maintains the current style for a long time, he will be promoted and reused step by step, and will eventually join the cabinet as a counselor for government affairs.

In order not to make this talent whom he is extremely optimistic about arrogant, Zhu Youjian has hinted to Wen Tiren more than once, asking him to teach Wen Kan well, guard against arrogance and impetuosity, don't rush to achieve any achievements in official career, and things will last forever Looking ahead, the prince is not yet of age.

The meaning in this kind of words, I believe that Lao Wen, who is mature and sophisticated, must be able to hear the implication. Naturally, he will mention it vaguely in his son's family letter, and Wen Kan, who has been nurtured for a long time, can understand it at a glance.

Zhu Youjian's words are tantamount to telling Wen Kan clearly that you are the one I left for the prince, and you just need to develop steadily.

Wen Kan has just reached the age of 70. If the cabinet ministers are 40 years old, they still have [-] years of service, which is too early.

Zhu Cihong is 13 years old this year. After he has studied and traveled according to the previous plan, Zhu Youjian will find a suitable time for him to go to court and learn the process and experience of handling government affairs, so as to enter the role as soon as possible.

Zhu Youjian didn't intend to sit on the emperor's seat until he died.

He already had a preliminary plan in mind.

That is, to give up their seats before they are too old, and then take Zhou Hou and them to visit the picturesque country of Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Youjian is not a character who is greedy for power. The soul from later generations actually yearns for freedom and unruly. Food and beautiful scenery are what he loves.

If his ideal prosperity can come in the future, Zhu Cihong has also shown the demeanor of a Mingjun, and he doesn't mind abdicating in advance.

However, this is only a preliminary idea, and everything remains to be seen.
