Daming: Old Zhu, we agreed not to rush!

Chapter 195 Your Majesty Says It's Poisonous, That's Poisonous!
"I dare you, Your Majesty, is this matter proposed by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

Cui Liang, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, bowed and asked Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Cui Liang and said calmly, "That's right, Cui Shangshu, do you have any ideas?"

Cui Liang replied: "I think this is a good thing. The government's decree can be directly conveyed to the people through the public newspaper, and the majesty of the Tian family can be more clearly known to the people."

"Even some major national events can be reported to the people through the public report, which is very effective in appeasing the people and stabilizing the hearts of the people."

The Minister of Rites is in charge of "rituals".

The role of various etiquette is actually to establish a good social order.

The People's Daily plays a big role in this regard.

"Ah."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, then turned to look at Li Shanchang and said, "Shanchang, what do you think?"

Li Shanchang has already refuted Zhu Yuanzhang once regarding work-for-relief and infrastructure construction.

This time, he didn't have the courage to continue to refute.

"I think Cui Shangshu's words are very true, and His Royal Highness's conception of the people's newspaper makes me extremely admired."

Li Shanchang continued to speak directly on Cui Liang's words.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly. He didn't come here to listen to objections.

"Okay, since you all think it's good, then I'll let the two of you draw up a charter and report this to me as soon as possible."

Zhu Yuanzhang gave instructions to the two of them.

For this kind of behavior that can immediately consolidate his own rule, Zhu Yuanzhang has always been as fast as possible.

"Your Majesty, I have something to say."

Cui Liang was about to take orders when Li Shanchang spoke first.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Li Shanchang and said, "Shanchang, what's the matter with you?"

Li Shanchang replied: "Reporting to Your Majesty, although I have not yet started preparations for the matter of the people's newspaper, it involves a lot of people's resources and material resources. I am afraid that it will be difficult to implement it for a while. Good to see how it works. "

As soon as these words came out, Cui Liang at the side immediately understood.

He followed Li Shanchang's words and continued: "Your Majesty, what the Prime Minister said is very true. If you want to accomplish this matter, it will not be achieved in a day, and you have to figure it out slowly."

Minbao looks like it is an official newspaper, and it is enough to write the information that the emperor needs to convey to the people.

But in fact, the screening of content and the transmission of information all require a lot of manpower and material resources.

Not to mention that there is still war on the border of the Ming Dynasty, and it is currently unrealistic for Min Bao to cover the entire Ming Dynasty.

If Li Shanchang and Cui Liang took over the job and reported any problems later, it would definitely make Zhu Yuanzhang dissatisfied.

Li Shanchang still understands Zhu Yuanzhang.

He was able to achieve the position of Prime Minister Zuo under Zhu Yuanzhang's hands, not only because of his own talents, but also because of his eyes and speculation.

"There is some truth in what I said, I really thought too simple."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said, "Okay then, according to what Shan Chang said, let's try it in Yingtian Mansion first to see the effect."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" X2
Li Shanchang and Cui Liang bowed to Zhu Yuanzhang to thank him at the same time.

"Okay, you guys go down and do it."

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand.

The two immediately turned around and walked towards the gate of the palace. As soon as they reached the gate, Zhu Yuanzhang's voice sounded again: "Cui Liang, remember to take good care of your subordinates when you go back, and don't write to me about everything."

Cui Liang was shocked, and immediately said: "Yes, Your Majesty."

Outside Fengxian Hall.

"Cui Shangshu, it seems that something is wrong with your Ministry of Rites?"

Li Shanchang said to Cui Liang.

Cui Liang replied: "Your Majesty will conduct a thorough investigation as soon as you get back, so your majesty's important affairs will not be delayed."

Li Shanchang nodded slightly and said: "It's good to have Cui Shangshu's words, so I can rest assured. The matter of the public newspaper mainly depends on Cui Shangshu. I am old and have many things to do. Please trouble Cui Shangshu."

"Your Majesty understands."

Cui Liang immediately bowed and nodded.

"Okay, that's all I have to say, so be it."

Li Shanchang continued to move forward and did not stay any longer.

At this time, cold sweat was dripping from Cui Liang's forehead. What kind of talent came out of his own Ministry of Rites, and Zhu Yuanzhang even asked Zhu Yuanzhang to warn him personally.

I am the Minister of Rites, but I haven't been a long time.

Can't these guys under his hands be more peaceful?

Cui Liang rushed back to the Ministry of Rites in a hurry, and after a brief inquiry, he locked his target on Shi Jiabao.

In Cui Liang's office, Shi Jiabao stood in front of him with his head bowed.

"Shishilang, tell me, what did you write to His Majesty, and let His Majesty personally warn me to take good care of you!"

Cui Liang looked at Shi Jiabao, only questioning in his words.

Shi Jiabao immediately said: "Lord Cui, I just found a golden pill and dedicated it to His Majesty. I didn't do anything else!"

Being questioned by his immediate superior, Shi Jiabao was very nervous and explained quickly.

Before Cui Liang could continue to ask, he told the whole story.

Including the fact that Zhu Yuanzhang still has a golden pill refined by Su Jing in his hand.

"Senior Minister, what do you want me to say about you? Can't you even understand His Majesty's words? How dare you force yourself to speak when you are told to leave!"

Cui Liang scolded.

Sometimes he really wondered, what happened to this Shijiabao?

When he surrendered, he was obviously very clever.

He is also very reliable in his usual work and has outstanding abilities.

I value him very much, and there is a high probability that he will take over the position of Minister of Rites in the future.

But it is such a family treasure who can do such a stupid thing, Cui Liang really doesn't know how to scold him.

"My lord, I really didn't expect that there is a golden elixir at His Majesty's side."

Shi Jiabao said with a grievance on his face: "It's the first time I've seen this golden elixir, who knew it would happen."

To say it was wronged, Shijiabao was quite wronged.

With Jindan, I don't want to eat it myself, but to offer it to Zhu Yuanzhang.

In this era, there is little awareness of heavy metals.

The golden elixir is poisonous, which they never expected.

"Humph."

Cui Liang snorted coldly and said, "Then what about your golden elixir? Did His Majesty let you take it away?"

"At this."

Shi Jiabao immediately took out the wooden box from his arms and handed it to Cui Liang.

Cui Liang did not answer, but said: "I think you are really stupid. His Majesty has said that this thing is poisonous. You still dare to take it with you. Let's deal with it as soon as possible."

deal with?

Shi Jiabao looked at Cui Liang, a little embarrassed: "My lord, it took a lot of effort to get down for this golden elixir, so let's deal with it, really"

The golden core is not something that can be obtained for nothing.

He was really reluctant to let Shijiabao throw it away.

Cui Liang stared at Shijiabao, and said coldly: "Reluctant? Then you can eat it yourself."

ate?

Hearing Cui Liang's words, Shi Jiabao immediately shook his head and said: "That can't be done, His Majesty said it's poisonous, so it must not be eaten."

"Do you really feel toxic?"

Cui Liang asked with a sneer.

If you really think it is poisonous, why would you still carry it with you?
Cui Liang could see Shijiabao's thoughts clearly.

It's nothing more than not believing that the golden elixir is poisonous, and still holding a little fantasy.

"Sir, I..."

Shijiabao still wanted to explain.

However, Cui Liang's next words made him stunned.

"Shishilang, why are you so confused? Your Majesty has said that the golden elixir is poisonous, so this golden elixir is poisonous. If you insist on not believing it and eating it yourself, have you ever thought about what would happen if it was not poisonous? ?”

Cui Liang looked at his capable subordinate and explained patiently.

His own health is not very good, and he cannot sit in the position of Minister of Rites for too long.

As if struck by lightning, Shi Jiabao immediately looked at Cui Liang and said, "Thank you for reminding me, my lord, such a kindness, I will never forget it, I will deal with this Jindan immediately."

Cui Liang's words have reached this point, if Shi Jiabao can't react, then he is stupid.

Seeing that Shi Jiabao finally understood, Cui Liang's expression brightened a little, and he said, "It's good that you know."

At this time, Shi Jiabao said: "My lord, who is this Mr. Su Jingsu? How can he even refine golden elixir? Isn't he the prince's teacher?"

For Su Jing, Shi Jiabao is really quite curious.

Being able to become the teacher of the prince Zhu Biao was also valued so much by Zhu Yuanzhang.

It's impossible to really be an alchemist, right?
Cui Liang shook his head and said, "I'm not very clear, you just need to remember that this Mr. Su has won His Majesty's trust."

Cui Liang was no less curious about Su Jing than Shi Jiabao.

But he buried this curiosity deep in his heart, this is the way of being an official.

"I understand, my lord, thank you for your advice."

Shi Jiabao nodded.

Cui Liang said: "Okay, now our top priority is to complete His Majesty's work..."

After educating Shijiabao, Cui Liang told Shijiabao that Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to report to Minbao.

The Ministry of Rites had to take the lead in this matter. As Cui Liang's right-hand man, Shi Jiabao must know.

"Min Bao? How could Your Majesty come up with such a thing?"

After hearing Cui Liang's description, Shi Jiabao immediately frowned.

How useful Minbao is, Shi Jiabao has already figured it out just after listening to it.

But what surprised him was, how did Zhu Yuanzhang come up with this thing?
"This is His Royal Highness's proposal."

Cui Liang said slowly.

Prince!

Shi Jiabao looked at Cui Liang, his eyes moved, and asked: "Doesn't that mean..."

"Yeah, just what you think."

Cui Liang nodded in agreement before Shi Jiabao finished speaking.

Su Jing!

It's still Su Jing!

Shi Jiabao was quite shocked in his heart. Hearing about Su Jing before, it was all other people's business, and he didn't feel that it had much to do with it.

But at this moment, Shi Jiabao's feeling in his heart is different because of Su Jing's incidents related to himself.

"Xiaguan understands, and I will start to do this right away."

Shi Jiabao nodded and went straight to work.

Cui Liang looked at Shijiabao, but he was thinking of Su Jing.

On the surface, he has no curiosity about Su Jing at all, and he doesn't talk too much.

But as Minister of the Ministry of Rites, who is in charge of the etiquette system in this world, Cui Liang actually doesn't have much affection for Su Shi in his heart.

Because Su Jing has made too many changes in the system of Ming Dynasty, the system itself is a manifestation of etiquette.

It's just that Cui Liang can see the reality more clearly than the etiquette system.

The current Su Jing is not someone who can touch porcelain like a minister of rites.

……

Hanlin Academy.

All Hanlin scholars are still busy.

The revision of "Ancestral Precepts" is not a simple matter.

There must be Zhu Yuanzhang's thinking, but at the same time it must conform to the words of the sages.

The degree to which it needs to be grasped depends entirely on their control.

"Your Majesty is here."

The eunuch's summons startled all the scholars of the Imperial Academy, and they went directly to the door to greet Zhu Yuanzhang.

"No courtesy, I just came here to take a look, you just continue to do your things."

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand, not wanting these Hanlin scholars to keep kneeling.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Hanlin bachelors then resumed their work.

It is not without some benefits to work under Zhu Yuanzhang.

He does what he tells him to do, no need to guess.

Maybe it's because of the reason why he led the army in the early years, he always speaks directly, and the transmission of information strives to be accurate.

After becoming the emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang still maintained a straightforward character.

Of course, there are also these Hanlin bachelors from the Hanlin Academy, who don't need Zhu Yuanzhang to beat around the bush.

"His Majesty."

Song Lian came to Zhu Yuanzhang and said respectfully.

These other people can continue to work, but Song Lian, who is the imperial court, can't.

"Song Tiju, do you still have any impression of the poem I showed you last time?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked Song Lian.

Song Lian immediately replied: "Of course I remember, how dare the old minister forget what His Majesty ordered."

"Haha."

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said: "Song Tiju, don't be so nervous, I just don't understand poetry, so I ask you, how is that poem?"

Song Lian said: "Returning to Your Majesty, this song "Nian Nujiao Mid-Autumn Festival Conversing with the Moon" is rich in imagination and unique, with beautiful artistic conception. It is really a superb work."

It is not easy for Song Lian to give a good evaluation.

Zhu Yuanzhang also felt a little surprised at this moment.

Su Jing is very powerful, but most of his talents are reflected in practice and thought. In this poem, it seems that there is no display except this poem.

Moreover, Zhu Biao has been studying with Su Jing for almost half a year, and he has never learned any poetry.

At this time, a poem written by Su Jing can actually make Song Lian, a literary master, make such an evaluation. It seems that Su Jing's level is quite high.

"I still want to ask, does this poem express some inner thoughts of the lyricist? What is the content of the thought?"

Zhu Yuanzhang continued to ask.

Appreciation of poetry has never been his goal.

Song Lian paused for a moment and asked, "Your Majesty, who is the author of this song "Nian Nujiao Mid-Autumn Festival Conversing with the Moon"?"

"Su Jing."

Zhu Yuanzhang did not hide anything, and said directly: "No, it should be said that it is probably Su Jing."

In Zhu Biao's letter to him, he only mentioned that Su Jing read the poem, but did not say that it must have been written by Su Jing.

Hearing this, Song Lian was taken aback, and then said: "Your Majesty, I have checked the available poetry dictionaries, but there is no such poem. It must be written by Mr. Su."

The first thing Song Lian did when he got the poem was to check the source.

Nothing was found.

Now that the author is Su Jing, Song Lian is surprised, but feels normal.

After all, what other people wrote is not worthy of Zhu Yuanzhang's attention.
