My uncle's name is Zhu Di

Chapter 18 Qin Huai Listening to Music
Yang Rong suddenly stood up. Although he didn't say much, he changed the direction of the discussion. Don't worry about the ancestral system or the reinstatement of the prime minister. Let's talk about it, is it good for the government affairs of the court?

These words also hit Zhu Di's mind. He was indeed entangled in complicated government affairs. He was busy from morning to night and had no free time at all.

As for the violation of the ancestral system, if the ancestral system is really that important, how can he sit on the dragon chair when Zhu Di is still the vassal king in Beiping?
In the final analysis, the reason why the Ming Dynasty did not restore the prime minister was purely because the six ministries were unwilling to be completely reduced to the prime minister's subordinates and had been resisting. In the later period, when the power of the cabinet came up, the prime minister was already in place, so there was no need to risk violating the ancestors. In order to avoid the risk of control, restore the prime minister.

In a word, in the Ming Dynasty, the ancestral system is the ancestral system that suits the big guy's mind, and the one that doesn't fit the big guy's mind can only be discarded.

Zhu Di was very satisfied with Yang Rong's words. When he wanted to enter Yingtian, it was Yang Rong's suggestion that he should go to worship Zhu Yuanzhang's Xiaoling Mausoleum first.

Zhu Di immediately agreed, obediently went to Lao Zhu's grave, and went to be his good son.

Because of this, Yang Rong, who was only a Jinshi in the second year of Jianwen, was suddenly promoted to a Bachelor of Hanlin, and then he was in charge of the ceremony for Zhu Di's enthronement.

Like a new star among the civil servants.

"Stop arguing."

Zhu Di said coldly: "It hasn't been long since I ascended the throne, but there are complicated government affairs every day, ranging from two to three hundred to as many as five or six hundred. I spend my nights clothing and food, and work day and night. I never rest. Being so busy, the government affairs fell to six departments, so there are so many that have not been handled, it is really a debt of gratitude to me!"

Zhu Di set his sights on Ruyu, Minister of the Ministry of War.

"Ru Yu, you were arguing just now, and I asked someone to fetch the note written by Xu Tongzheng... I found out that your military department has not implemented a single thing. What's going on?"

Ru Yu's complexion changed, and she hurriedly said: "Returning to Your Majesty, the Ministry of War is related to military and national affairs. Among the government affairs assigned by Your Majesty, there are adjustments of generals from the nine sides, rewards for meritorious soldiers, and supplementary military registration. Everything is very cumbersome, isn't it? It can be done in a day or two. Therefore, I think that, like Xu Tongzheng, who doesn't even know that government affairs are difficult, and just point fingers at will, not only is it not conducive to the implementation of government affairs, but will disturb the court situation. I hope your Majesty will learn from him."

Zhu Di was slightly taken aback, and it seemed to make sense.

At this time Xu Jingchang didn't like to listen, "Ru Shangshu, you just said that the Ministry of War is difficult, so I would like to ask for advice. The Ministry of Officials is not difficult, and the Ministry of Households is not difficult? The Ministry of Industry wants to repair the three major halls, and build it in the Beijing Government Office. Is it as easy? It is clear that you have old habits that are hard to change, you are lazy in government affairs, and you are perfunctory, and now I have found out, so you are so angry."

Ru Yu's old face is ashen, Xu Jingchang, this boy, speaks really badly, every sentence pokes your lungs, and he is indeed Jianwen's old minister, and his position is still very high.

Let Xu Jingchang continue to talk about what he said was obedience and disobedience, with ulterior motives, and the intention to rebel is about to come out.

"Xu Tongzheng, since you know that big guys have difficulties, why do you make it harder for big guys by being unconventional?"

Xu Jingchang said bluntly: "I don't understand this. Someone wrote a letter, His Majesty approved it, and handed it over to your six government offices for you to implement. There must be no movement, right? For example, His Majesty wants to adjust the Nine Frontier Army The list of generals may involve 100 or 200 people. How many have you got now? There must be an explanation, after a while, His Majesty remembered it, and after asking, he didn't do anything, just listen to you complaining, what's the reason for that?"

This question, Ru Xun was at a loss for words, and it was difficult to answer.

Indeed, that's how they fooled Zhu Yunqi.

As long as the officials work a little harder, Zhu Yunqi, who is sitting on the world, will not be beaten to the ground by Zhu Di, and lose the country.

At this point in the discussion of the matter, the aggressive six important ministers have already fallen into a disadvantage.

It is true that the rattling machine of the Ming Dynasty needs to add a part, and the rules of operation should also be adjusted.

Xu Jingchang was just in time to expose this matter.

Yao Guangxiao, who had been silent all this time, spoke, "Your Majesty, I have a few words to say."

Zhu Di hurriedly said with a smile: "Master Yao, if you have any great ideas, just tell them."

Yao Guangxiao said: "Your Majesty, it's like this. At present, the government affairs are really complicated. It is necessary to remove the old and establish the new, and refresh the country. Take the old minister as an example. Your Majesty asked the minister to preside over the compilation of the Taizu Records. How is the progress of the minister? How many talents, who has made great achievements, and who has made mistakes, really need to be reported to the outside world, so that His Majesty and the courtiers can know it well. You can't wait until ten or eight years later, just give the court a conclusion whether it has been repaired or not. It is unavoidable to be suspected of laziness in official duties.”

Yao Guangxiao's words were almost final, he was Zhu Di's schemer and his confidant.

It's just that in the past Yao Guangxiao was unwilling to stand up and speak out, so he gave others space. Now this one also stood up to support Xu Jingchang, almost instantly turning things around.

The courtiers could no longer resist, Jian Yi, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, was the first to stand up.

"Your Majesty Qizuo, what the young master said is indeed correct. It is just to sort out government affairs and supervise the six government offices. Such a big matter cannot be left to the Secretary of General Administration. I think His Majesty should be in charge of it himself."

Xia Yuanji also said: "Indeed, although Xu Tongzheng is extremely talented and quick-witted, he is still too young. He has just entered the official career, and he is not familiar with the laws and regulations of the state. Minister, handle this matter."

Zhu Di frowned slightly, still thinking.

At this time, Yang Rong, a scholar of Hanlin, stood up again, "Qizou Your Majesty, after Emperor Taizu deposed Zhongshu Province, he set up four assistant officials for consultation. Later, he followed the system of Tang and Song Dynasties and set up Diange Bachelor to assist the emperor. Father, participate in the maintenance of the aircraft. I think this seems more appropriate, and it also respects the ancestral system."

Although Yang Rong doesn't talk much, every time he stands up, he hits the nail on the head.

Didn't Ruyu and the others talk about the ancestral system?

Now he has moved out of Zhu Yuanzhang's approach and let Zhu Di carry it forward. Moreover, the so-called palace scholars usually choose Hanlin civil servants who are familiar with the imperial court's rules and regulations.

All of a sudden, it was tantamount to blocking the Secretary of General Administration and refuting Xia Yuanji's idea of ​​recommending important ministers to preside over the great affairs.

Zhu Di thought for a while, then nodded immediately.

At this time, he still has to do his best to be Lao Zhu's good son. Since his father and emperor forbid him to be a prime minister again, he can't do it.If, as Xia Yuanji said, the six ministries and hundreds of officials should be supervised by important ministers.

Then there is no doubt that whoever gets this position will be the new prime minister.

As for handing it over to the Secretary of General Administration, Zhu Di is not at ease, mainly because Xu Jingchang is too troublesome. It has only been a few days since he has conflicts with Qiu Fu and all the officials. The market is as lively?
In order to avoid a restless situation, Yang Rong's proposal is very safe.

"Since this is the case, let's select a group of famous Ci officials from the Hanlin civil servants."

Zhu Di made a final decision, the courtiers who had been arguing for a while looked at me and I looked at you, what else could they say?
Your Majesty!

Coming out of the main hall, Xu Jingchang stepped forward, and the fat Xia Yuanji took two steps to stop him, and then Jian Yi also followed.

"Xu Tongzheng, how about we sit down and talk?"

Xu Jingchang looked at the two people, and was furious, "What are you talking about? You see that the Secretary of the General Administration eats meat, and you feel unhappy in your heart, and you insist on mixing it up. It's all right now. Your Majesty chose Hanlin Cichen to assist you. There are so many things on your heads. There is a dark cloud, and I may decide what kind of wind knife and frost sword will be made in the future to make you look good! This matter has fallen to the Secretary of the General Administration, and I can't be the envoy of the General Administration all the time. When I leave, isn't it because you arrange suitable candidates! I will I've never seen anything so stupid."

After Xu Jingchang finished speaking, he strode away.

Jian Yi and Xia Yuanji looked at each other, they also felt that something was wrong, but there was no better way.

"Xu Tongzheng, wait!" Xia Yuanji shouted again.

Xu Jingchang snorted: "How can you make a good Ming Dynasty with you insects? I'm going to Qinhuai River to listen to music!"
