My Ming Dynasty, I have the final say

Chapter 56 The Etiquette Department holds a small meeting
In the yamen of the Ministry of Rites, a small meeting was being held at this time.

"Master Sun, what does it mean that Eunuch Liu comes here privately?"

On the main seat, sat Sun Ruyou, the Minister of Rites, and below were the officials of the Ministry of Rites and the Minister of Rites, such as Bao Qianzhen, Yang Daoyin, Li Ruogui, Zhou Xiling and others.

"Why would he want to leave the Xian Temple alone and only focus on the Filial Piety Temple?"

Zhou Xiling said a little confused.

"Is it possible that the emperor wants to establish Ruizhong's throne?"

"This statement is inappropriate."

Hearing this, Sun Ruyou hurriedly signaled to him, "Shut up. Can you say this directly?"
"Gentlemen, have you forgotten that Wang Zhi assisted Xianzong in the past and established the Liting Palace?"

As the Minister of Rites, Sun Ruyou's accumulation of knowledge is quite rich.

"What do you mean, Sir, Liu Shimin wants to be Wang Zhi?"

Hearing this, Yang Daoyin couldn't help but say.

"No and no."

Sun Ruyou shook his head and said.

"These days, as you think about it, you have discovered that the emperor is extremely intelligent and is very familiar with ancient and modern allusions. Now that the situation in Liaodong is corrupt, I am afraid that the emperor is worried about the war and is fascinated by Xianzong."

"This..."

After hearing Sun Ruyou's words, everyone looked at each other.

Finally, Li Ruogui asked aloud.

"Then, sir, do you think it's okay to visit the Xiaoxiao Temple instead of the Xian Temple?"

"I think it's okay."

After stroking his beard, Sun Ruyou continued.

"I think you all know what happened during the Zhengtong, Jingtai, and Tianshun years, so I won't go into details."

"Xianzong inherited the ambition of his ancestors and wiped out the decline of the Ming Dynasty. He defeated Jingxiang, collected Hetao, and captured the Jurchens. It can be said that he has made great military achievements and made great contributions to the country. According to etiquette, it is not necessary to use it."

"No."

Hearing this, Li Ke gave Bao Qianzhen some advice on the matter.

"If the Xian Temple is left and the Xiao Xiao Temple is left, where will the Ming Dynasty's orthodoxy be placed? Don't forget what happened to Zuo Shunmen in the past."

"Then do you think it should be the Rui Temple, the Martial Arts Temple, or the World Temple?"

Hearing Bao Qianzhen's words, Sun Ruyou asked with a smile.

"This..."

Hearing this, Bao Qianzhen's mouth wriggled a few times and was speechless.

Ruizong and Xiaozong were both sons of Xianzong (Chenghua).

According to the theory of closeness and sparseness, neither Ruizong (King Xingxian) nor Xiaozong (Hongzhi) was born in the sixth generation.

Moreover, today (Apocalypse) is a direct descendant of Ruizong, which is closer than Xiaozong.

Shizong (Jiajing) and Wuzong (Zhengde) were only five generations old, so they couldn't be forgotten.

Therefore, apart from Xianzong, we can only worship Xiaozong.

"The memorial from Zuixiao Temple was left unpublished."

After sorting out his thoughts, Sun Ruyou continued.

"I will submit a letter saying that Xian Temple has made great contributions to pacifying Liaodong, but it is better to be filial to the temple."

"can."

"can."

After hearing this, officials from the Ministry of Rites expressed their agreement.

"What do you mean by science?"

Sun Ruyou asked while drooping his eyelids and looking at several etiquette subjects.

"can."

Sighing, Bao Qianzhen said helplessly.

Following Bao Qianzhen's statement, several other people expressed their approval.

At the same time, Xu Guangqi, who had just taken office, was inspecting the treasury of the Ordnance Bureau under the Ministry of Industry.

The emperor asked him to move Wang Gong Factory to Shijingshan, but he didn't rush to move like a fool.

If you do that, Wang Gong Factory will definitely explode on the spot.

The Du Branch wanted to analyze the accounts of the Ministry of Works, but he refuted it on the grounds that the Ministry of Accounts didn't even have a clear account, which also allowed him to gain a foothold in the Ministry of Works.

He planned to cut off the raw materials of Wang Gong Factory first, and then slowly empty the gunpowder magazine before talking about the accounts.

But at this time, Xu Guangqi's face was not good, and he held the list of craftsmen of the Ordnance Bureau in his hand.

The number of craftsmen in the capital of the Ming Dynasty has been decreasing. During the Jiajing period, the Ordnance Bureau stipulated that there were still 3000 craftsmen, but now, there are only more than 900 registered craftsmen.

Regarding the decrease in the number of craftsmen in the Ordnance Bureau, Xu Guangqi also knew that there was nothing to build, and the court could not give much money, so everyone had to make a living.

"It's a long way to go."

On the way out of the warehouse, Xu Guangqi couldn't help but sigh.When Xu Guangqi sighed, Zhu Youxiao also sighed.

Damn it, the roof of the house is leaking badly.

Wanli's indulgence towards the eunuchs caused the Internal Finance Office to check the accounts of the inner court, and a major incident was revealed.

While looking through the account book, he looked at the kneeling eunuch Yang Chengxiu in front of him.

When Yang Xiucheng was doing his accounting, he was assassinated by a eunuch from the imperial horse supervisor.

"It's not hurt, is it?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern. I was not hurt. Your godson blocked the knife for me."

"One word, kill."

Throwing the account book to the ground, Zhu Youxiao said with murderous intent.

"Four taels of silver per egg. Are the eggs I eat made of gold?"

"Give Wei Zhongxian the list of people found guilty of corruption."

"Tell him to clean up."

"Slaves take orders."

Hearing this, Yang Chengxiu shrank his neck, picked up the account book, and quickly deducted the number.

Looking at Yang Chengxiu leaving, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but rub his teeth.

Why doesn't he live in the palace, and why are the eunuchs around him newly selected from the pure army without family background.

It's because the palace is not safe.

Not only foreign ministers may make him dissolve in water, but eunuchs may also make him dissolve in water.

"Your Majesty, Sun Chuanting and Cao Wenzhao want to see you."

"Xuan."

"We sincerely wish you the Holy Father."

"Flat body."

After adjusting his facial expression, Zhu Youxiao looked at Sun and Cao and asked.

"The two beloved ladies came together for military training. What happened?"

"Go back to the emperor, I'm here to ask for weapons."

They glanced at each other, and finally Sun Chuanting, who was a Jinshi, spoke up.

"ordnance?"

Hearing this, Zhu Youxiao was a little surprised.

"How many people have you recruited? How come there are not enough weapons?"

"Going back to the emperor, totaling the old soldiers, including those recruited by the ministers and others these days, there are now more than [-] soldiers in the two guards. The inventory of the fourth guard camp in Tengxiang has all been transported to Nanhaizi. I led the people I picked out everything that could be used, but there was still not enough."

"And the number of horses in the Tengxiang Four Guards Camp does not match what is recorded in the book."

"Where's the horse?"

Hearing this, Zhu Youxiao turned to look at Liu Shimin in surprise.

"Back to the Emperor, I'm afraid he was betrayed by the Wei Dynasty and the eunuch who used to be the Royal Horse Supervisor."

"When should I use it?"

"Rent some from the market."

Liu Shimin obviously knew what the Wei Dynasty did when he was supervising the Royal Horse Supervisor.

"In this Wei Dynasty, death is not a pity."

Hearing Liu Shimin's words, Zhu Youxiao was filled with hatred and wanted to dig Wei Chao out of the smelly ditch and chop him again.

"Didn't you go to the Ministry of War to ask for ordnance?"

Changing the question about horses, Zhu Youxiao looked at Cao Wenzhao and asked.

"Back to the emperor, the Ministry of War said that they are gathering supplies for Liaodong, but they can't spare any extra supplies for us now."

"When did these people become so active in collecting things for Liaodong?"

Hearing this, Zhu Youxiao felt a little strange.

These people have always been very considerate about providing materials to Liaodong.

"In this way, you first make do with the inventory of the Tengxiang Fourth Guard Camp and the Yanshan Vanguard. Focus on training first, and I will think of a solution later."

"The ministers obey the order."

Hearing this, Sun Chuanting and Cao Wenzhao reluctantly held their hands.

After the two left, Zhu Youxiao turned to look at Liu Shimin and said.

"Go and gather all the craftsmen in the inner court who are good at making armor and weapons. I want to set up a factory."
