If I fail to overcome the tribulation, I can only return to the Ming Dynasty and become a prince.

Chapter 274 Preparing for the Wedding (4K)

Different from the perspective of ordinary people looking at issues, as a royal, you naturally have to look at issues from a royal perspective.

Just like the Jin Yiwei, from an ordinary person's point of view, this thing is a heavenly eagle dog. It is a place where children can stop crying at night by making up charges and arresting innocent people for nothing. The Jin Yiwei's prison is full of resentment.

From the perspective of the civil and military personnel of the Manchu Dynasty, Jin Yiwei was even more stinky and disgusting.

Just kidding, during the time of Zhu Yuanzhang, the Jinyiwei were responsible for monitoring all officials. Anyone who ate an extra fish or chicken at noon had to be drawn and reported to the emperor. If he said two words of complaint to his concubine Dunlun, he would be punished. The concubine of Jin Yiwei's secret agent recorded that this kind of life is really something that no dog would even think about.

If Jin Yiwei could be eliminated, absolutely no one in the civil and military circles would raise any objection.

But for the emperor, do you want to suppress Jin Yiwei?Still thinking about dismantling or simply getting rid of Jin Yiwei?Do you want to rebel, or do you want to be Prime Minister Dong who deposes and establishes the emperor?
Since ancient times, the profession of emperor, except for a few outstanding ones and those who conquer the world by themselves, has basically grown up in the deep palace. The only people they face all day long are the maids and eunuchs who are submissive in front of them, and they are taught the so-called A 'erudite scholar' and a 'highly respected' minister.

How much real things this allowed the emperor to hear and how much real people could see was true is a difficult thing to evaluate.

Apart from anything else, if you ask Zhu Di how to farm, he will be able to tell you clearly and clearly, because Zhu Di has really farmed himself and knows what farming is all about.

Not to mention Zhu Yuanzhang, who was born a real farmer and was professional in farming.

But if you want to ask Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Zhanji how to farm, you are asking blindly.

Although these two masters cannot be said to have grown up in a deep palace, they have never experienced hardship since they were born.

After all, when Zhu Gaochi was born, Zhu Di was already the King of Yan, and Zhu Gaochi was the dignified son of the Yan King who was personally canonized by Zhu Yuanzhang. If the Ming Dynasty was short, no one would be short of him.

And Zhu Zhanji is even worse. When he was born, Zhu Di dreamed that Zhu Yuanzhang gave him a large piece of Gui, which made Zhu Di think that the child was a good omen, and even asked Queen Xu to raise it in person. Naturally, this treatment can be imagined.

As for the Baozong in the future?If he has really endured hardship, he will not think that if his great-grandfather can do it, if his father can do it, he can do it too.

Therefore, to a large extent, Jinyiwei, the eagle dog of the Tian family and the emperor's personal army, is the emperor's eyes and ears for learning all kinds of news outside the palace, allowing the emperor to hear and see the news he wants to know, so that the ministers will not say what it is. What.

Of course, when you are an emperor, you need a villain, but good ministers are also essential. There can never be only one kind of person in the court.

What will happen if the court becomes the one-spoken hall of a certain kind of people? You will know what the court became in the middle and late Ming Dynasty.

The great victory achieved by Wu Zong was suddenly turned into a child's play by those civil servants. This shows what will happen to these civil servants once they occupy the right to speak in the court and have no restrictions.

Even someone like Zhang Juzheng, who patched up the sky for the Ming Dynasty with one hand, can say something like "I am not a prime minister, but a photographer." One can imagine what other civil servants would be like.

Therefore, the existence of special agencies such as Jinyiwei and Dongchang is necessary. After all, they also served as the 'Discipline Inspection Commission' in the Ming Dynasty. Supervising hundreds of officials is indispensable at any time.

"People always have selfish motives. Even the great ancestor used tortures such as picking off skin bags and grass, but he couldn't stop the corruption of those officials. It can be seen that the supervisory officials are indispensable at all times." Zhu Zhanqi is here After explaining to Zhu Zhanji why Jin Yiwei could not be suppressed, he began to elaborate on his thoughts: "What was exposed in Ji Gang's case was not Jin Yiwei's problem, but just Ji Gang's personal problem, and Jin Yiwei's lack of supervision, which led to Jin Yiwei's command to expand his power. The ambition that arose later.

This problem stems from the lack of an effective supervision mechanism for officials in the imperial court. Although Jinyiwei has the power to supervise all officials, and there is Nanzhen Fusi within Jinyiwei who is responsible for ensuring that Jinyiwei does not have problems, the position of Jinyiwei commander still lacks restrictions.

After all, what they hold in their hands is the sharpest knife in the royal family. Ji Gang really wants to deceive the superiors and subordinates. As long as he can block the mouths of the others in the Jinyi Guard, he can make the emperor close his ears.

Therefore, it is necessary to separate the North and South Jinyiwei's Zhenfu Division into two independent departments, and at the same time clarify their responsibilities and scope of power to prevent them from expanding their power relying on the emperor's favor. "

Having said this, Zhu Zhanyu paused for a moment, and after letting Zhu Di and Zhu Zhanji digest what he said, he seemed to remember something, and then added: "In addition, the Jinyiwei supervisory officials often only stare at the court. I can't say that it's wrong to focus on solving big cases, but it does have problems.

The Jin Yiwei should be like a knife hanging over the heads of all officials in the Ming Dynasty. It can play a role in preventing corruption and corruption when they abuse the law and abuse their power.

Therefore, the Jinyiwei should expand their surveillance and spying intelligence network, at least so that the court can have a clearer and more accurate understanding of how local magistrates govern the local area, rather than relying solely on the evaluation of the Ministry of Officials. "

Hearing what Zhu Zhanjun said, Zhu Di couldn't help but nodded frequently, and then said with satisfaction: "That's right. The Jinyiwei monitors hundreds of officials to check whether these officials are working seriously and whether they are corrupt and perverting the law. If the Jinyiwei cannot do this, , then the Jin Yiwei has lost its role and only serves me on duty? The imperial court is not short of these Han generals."

Zhu Zhanji on the side listened to the discussion between Zhu Di and Zhu Zhanjun, and also noticed that Zhu Di was more concerned about not the ambition of the commander of the Jinyiwei, but whether the Jinyiwei could play the role of supervising all officials.

Under the guidance of Zhu Zhanjun, Zhu Zhanji also realized that if officials did not supervise, big problems would occur, so he also gave up his original idea of ​​simply splitting up and suppressing Jinyiwei, and instead wanted to listen to Zhu Zhanji's guidance. How Zhan Yun refined his idea.

This matter can only be discussed by the royal people themselves and cannot be discussed with ministers in the court, because it will affect the interests of those ministers from any perspective, so they cannot be allowed to participate.

With this idea, Zhu Zhanji, like Zhu Di, naturally looked at Zhu Zhanchen expectantly to see if he had anything else to say.

"Jinyiwei is divided into North and South Zhenfusi. The brands can be changed, so that they will no longer be conspicuous." Zhu Zhanquan said, but then the topic changed: "It doesn't matter what they are called. Importantly, even if it is called a 'sticky office' or 'huanyi bureau', it only needs to be able to fulfill the duties of supervising hundreds of officials, and it must be able to go deep into the county level without any other interference, and the information can be accurate. Passed to the imperial court.

Only in this way can we truly supervise the officials and put the entire court under supervision. They should not just regard the Jin Yiwei as a black glove that does dirty work for the emperor. They should not be just a knife, but should also become the emperor's eyes. and ears. "At this point, Zhu Zhanjun stopped talking any more, because any further talk would turn into teaching Zhu Di how to be an emperor.

Although Zhu Di wouldn't mind such words, Zhu Zhanquan still had to avoid suspicion to avoid arousing suspicion.

Although I am not afraid, it is always better to have more troubles than less troubles.

Zhu Di saw that Zhu Zhanyu had not finished what he said, but he also understood Zhu Zhanyu's thoughts. Although he was not satisfied with the grandson's attitude, Zhu Di did not say much. He just took a deep look at him. Then he changed the subject and asked about Zhu Zhancheng's wedding: "How are you preparing for your wedding? Your princess has an extraordinary background. Don't neglect her. If you still need anything, just tell me. Our Ming Dynasty is now considered to be rich all over the world, so there is no need to save on the expenses of this wedding, if it is not enough, I still have internal funds."

After Zhu Di knew that Meng Qinglin was the Dragon Girl, he became very concerned about Zhu Zhanchun's marriage, and even considered letting Zhu Zhanchun inherit the throne.

This purpose is actually very simple. Meng Qinglin is a dragon girl after all, and the child born will be a genuine dragon son.

If this lineage inherits the throne in the future, then the Ming Dynasty royal family will have a genuine dragon lineage, and the emperor will also be a true dragon emperor.

However, Zhu Zhanjuan really had no idea about the throne. Unless Zhu Di directly passed the throne to him or something went wrong with Zhu Zhanji, Zhu Zhanjuan would not be able to take the initiative to fight for the throne.

This made Zhu Di very dissatisfied. He pretended to be crazy, risked his own life, and almost had someone hack him to death on the battlefield to get the throne. This little brat didn't care at all. It was impossible for Zhu Di to say that he had no opinions.

However, Zhu Zhanyun really had no idea about the throne, and the current emperor's grandson Zhu Zhanji did not make any mistakes, but he was just not as good as Zhu Zhanyun.

Therefore, even if Zhu Di really wanted Zhu Zhanquan to succeed the throne, he had no excuse or possibility to put it into action.

Zhu Zhanji felt a little strange about this. After all, he and Zhu Zhanyu were getting married together. Logically speaking, he, the emperor's grandson, should be the most important thing. Zhu Zhanji was only in his favor. But the hidden meaning of Zhu Di's words was that he paid more attention to Zhu Zhancheng's side.

And isn’t Zhu Zhanyu’s princess a girl from a small family in the Japanese country?Why did he suddenly become an extraordinary person?

Just as this thought flashed through Zhu Zhanji's mind, he suddenly realized that even if Zhu Zhanqi lacked a concubine, it would be impossible for him to marry a Japanese woman as his concubine. Even if she was from the Han family, it would be impossible. At most, she could only be a concubine. Concubine.

This can be seen just from the fact that the female Japanese king of the Japanese country can only be his concubine Zhu Zhanji. In the eyes of the Ming Dynasty royal family, although this bloodline is not that special, the Han family Miao descendants are It must not be messy.

So what is the background of Zhu Zhancheng's princess?Even to the point where Zhu Di had to personally ask and pay attention?
Zhu Zhanji suddenly became curious and wanted to ask his brother what kind of wife he had married that could make even the emperor of Ming Dynasty think that she was of extraordinary origin.

"Grandpa, please don't touch your internal funds. Otherwise, next time you want to go to war somewhere and Xia Laojie says you have no money, you can also use your internal funds to top it up first." Zhu Zhanquan made a joke, and then Zhengse said: "As for the wedding, the Ministry of Household Affairs has allocated enough money, and many of the items are from the palace's weavers and craftsmen, so the expenses are not large.

Royal weddings should indeed be particular, but the flowers and provinces should be spent. We just finished a big battle in Mobei at the beginning of the year. Although the grassland has temporarily settled down, we will still have to spend a lot of money in the future.

Therefore, although the wedding ceremony of my eldest brother and I should have the proper etiquette, there is no need to be extravagant and wasteful.

On this point, Qinglin and I have the same view, and even if we pay attention to luxury, can our family be richer than hers? "

What Zhu Zhanjun said is correct. Whether in the world of Ming Dynasty or the world of immortality, the dragon clan is synonymous with wealth. If Brother Monkey doesn't have any weapons, he will go to the Dragon King to get them. Not only did he get the mourning stick, he also blackmailed him. Four old dragons are dressed in uniforms.

It is a common knowledge that the Dragon Palace has treasures. If you want to be richer than the Dragon Palace, even the emperor does not have the capital.

"I was negligent. This dragon... their family is indeed richer than ours, so you can't treat them badly." Zhu Di said, and then explained to Zhu Zhanjun, and then let him and Zhu Zhanji left.

After the two brothers left the palace, Zhu Zhanji curiously asked Zhu Zhanyu who his concubine was.

Zhu Zhanji did not hide Zhu Zhanji's curiosity from him. After all, Zhu Zhanji had told Zhu Zhanji before that the woman he wanted to marry was absolutely extraordinary.

After Zhu Zhanji learned that his brother's future concubine was a dragon girl, his eyes were full of envy.

Being able to marry a dragon girl is something that can only be found in various fantasy novels. But now Zhu Zhanjuan actually kidnapped a dragon girl and came back to get married. How can he not get married as well? Does Zhu Zhanji feel jealous?

Comparing people with each other will make people angry!

Fortunately, these two people are brothers after all. Apart from Zhu Zhanji's expression of envy and jealousy, he only wished Zhu Zhanchun well and asked Zhu Zhanchun if he could introduce someone to him. The Dragon Lady, or the fairy from heaven.

When asking this question, Zhu Zhanji was still regretting why he hadn't reacted earlier. After all, Zhu Zhanji was a person who had stayed in Penglai Immortal Island for eight years. Being able to kidnap a dragon girl back undoubtedly showed that He knew many fairies. If he could match one with him, wouldn't it be better than marrying a mortal woman?

Regarding Zhu Zhanji's thoughts, Zhu Zhanqi could only shake his head helplessly, saying that it would be very troublesome to get from heaven to the lower world, and he could not introduce him to fairies.
