Chapter 366: Inside the Palace
Early morning!
Zhu Youxiao slowly opened his eyes, and as far as he could see, he was all smooth and white, with three or four arms on his body, and his hands were all wrapped in softness. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"It's a ........" Shaking his head, he remembered what happened last night, and in his passion, he directly pulled Queen Zhang Yan and the other two concubines Hu Tianhu.
"I don't know if the orb will blame me!" Zhu Youxiao remembered last night's fragrance, and his face couldn't help but flutter, but then he became bitter again.
"Let's get up first, otherwise I'll be even more embarrassed here." Zhu Youxiao secretly glanced at the lovely fluttering eyelashes in his arms, withdrew his arms with shrinking hands, and then quietly went to the ground and randomly approved a piece of clothing on his body.
He will not pass on the cumbersome costumes of the Ming court now, so he can only come outside and let the waiting palace maid serve him to dress, when he yawned and was served by the red-faced palace maid, he vaguely heard the sound of Suosuo's clothes rubbing in the room.
"Run." Zhu Youxiao looked inside, and after seeing the figure walking out, he ran away in a hurry, and he didn't even have time to fasten the button.
"What about the emperor?" After Zhang Yan came out, he asked curiously, did he see the emperor wearing clothes here just now.
"Your Majesty has run away." The palace maid, who had been blushing, pointed out the door, and at this time, Zhu Youxiao's figure happened to disappear around the corner.
"Hmph, he's cheap." Zhang Yan waved her small fist, her face flushed, "I'll clean him up when I come back." After speaking, she turned around and stared at the little palace maid, "Did you see anything?" ”
"No, slave maid....... slave maid didn't see anything." The little palace maid knelt directly on the ground, and it was convenient to arrive in a hurry.
"It's good if you don't have it." Zhang Yan nodded in satisfaction, and then returned to the room, she was tired enough last night, and she still had to make up for sleep.
Over there, standing at the door of his study, Zhu Youxiao crossed his waist and panted gently, he was not tired, he was nervous.
"Whew, it's good to run away, otherwise I'll be guilty again." Looking at the back, Zhang Yan didn't rush over, knowing that he had escaped this catastrophe, Zhu Youxiao's expression couldn't help relaxing.
"But what should I do at night?" Thinking of Zhang Yan's methods, he faintly felt the soft flesh on his waist hurt, which was a heart-wrenching pain.
"Gotta be a way to distract him." Zhu Youxiao pondered, and then stepped into the study.
As soon as he entered, he didn't need to be greeted, and the palace maids around him surrounded him, carrying the basin and the clothes, and quickly cleaned him up.
After washing up and cleaning up his personal hygiene, he suddenly felt that the whole person was two pounds lighter, especially the life served by this little beauty, which made Zhu Youxiao, who had not experienced it for almost half a year, feel comfortable, smooth and delicate, how could it be compared with a rough man.
Subsequently, a sumptuous breakfast was served, exquisite and gorgeous meals, Zhu Youxiao had a great appetite, in the past few months in the army, although he did not sleep with the soldiers, but he must have eaten together, he ate whatever the soldiers ate, and the same is true for officers, whether it is stationed or marching, it is this rule.
The officers' eating place is also with the soldiers, and everyone can see what they eat, but at different tables. This rule had been enforced by him since he established the Yulin Army, and he didn't know the effect, but it was certainly better than the previous hierarchical system.
At least, his army has never been worried about morale.
Grunting, a big breakfast went into his stomach, delicious food, made him appetite.
"Long live Lord, the second assistant Lord Xu asks to see you." Just as he was eating incense, Liu Ruoyu appeared in front of him unconsciously, Rao Yizhu was so martial arts at this time, he still didn't know how he came in.
"Oh, let him in." Zhu You commanded without raising his head.
"Yes, Hooray." Liu Ruoyu lowered his head and went out to deliver the message.
After a while, Xu Guangqi walked in with some folds in his hand, and when he saw that the emperor was eating breakfast, he was obviously stunned, but he didn't expect the emperor to summon him at this time.
"Your Majesty, the old minister is abrupt." As soon as Xu Guangqi confessed, he wanted to push it down.
"It's okay, I ate fast, I'm going to finish eating soon, Xu Ge has eaten it, I let the imperial dining room serve it on the last one." Zhu Youxiao beckoned Xu Guangqi to sit down, he was almost finished eating, so he didn't bother the old courtiers to run around.
Next to him, a spirited little eunuch saw Xu Guangqi standing, remembered His Majesty's instructions before, moved a chair from the side, and quietly put it down.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, but the old minister has already eaten before going to the court, and it is also thanks to His Majesty Hongfu that he changed the early dynasty, and now he has time to get up slowly, and then after eating breakfast, he will be in the court." Xu Guangqi replied with a smile, and then he was not polite, and sat on the chair.
"Yes, it's quite exciting, it's rare to remember my commands, look at the reward." Zhu Youxiao praised casually, but the little eunuch was so excited that he almost knelt down directly to thank him. Fortunately, he still remembered that it was the monarch and the minister who played right at this time, and he couldn't disturb it, so he couldn't hold back the throbbing in his heart and maintained his standing posture.
"Give a bowl of lotus seed soup to Xu Aiqing." It is impossible to say, Zhu Youxiao directly ordered one.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness." Xu Guangqi couldn't cry his gratitude, where is the reason why people must eat it.
The two of them are like this, chatting about some family things while eating, which child is married, who is the daughter-in-law, what is the recent weather, will it delay the agricultural time, where is the technology progress of the Tiangong Research Institute, whether the wool textile works well or not, and so on.
"By the way, have the gang of wool weaving technology been rewarded well?" Suddenly remembered something, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help asking.
"There are rewards for money, and the craftsmen are satisfied." Xu Guangqi replied.
Hearing such an answer, Zhu Youxiao frowned, this is still caused by the contempt for the tradition of technical craftsmen, such an important technology, only some money is awarded, other honors and status, etc., there is no change at all, not even the rank of the inner house.
"It's not proper, it's inappropriate, how can such a light reward make people concentrate on technical research."
"I remember that the Inner Mansion has not yet established a rank of honor, and now it has set up one, called Academician, Academician of Tiangong in terms of technology, and Academician of Hanlin in literature, and only awarded to the top scholars in the world. Li Zhizao took the lead in coming up with the wool weaving technique, and if he was awarded this title, as for the others, they were awarded different ranks according to the size of the merit. Zhu Youxiao said slowly.
"Academician Hanlin, whoever is the first to compile a book or law that satisfies me will be awarded. The various treatments of academicians are equivalent to those of a cabinet scholar. ”
"So, is there a problem?"
"Isn't this ....... too heavy?" Xu Guangqi hesitated a little, this is natural, thousands of years of tradition, suddenly to compare the craftsmen with their group of literati, no one can stand it.
"Hmph, what's too heavy, I just want the world to know, follow the path I set, there will be a reward!" Zhu Youxiao snorted coldly. "As soon as the canonization is due, you will go to the Ministry of Culture and Culture to handle it, and announce it at the court meeting tomorrow."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Seeing that the emperor had made up his mind, Xu Guangqi was no longer persuasive, anyway, the emperor changed not one or two things, and countless ministers opposed it, he turned a deaf ear, or went his own way.
However, the civil officials have no choice about the emperor, they have the intention to resign in protest, but thinking about the high salaries now, they are reluctant, resignation is not lethal at all, and countless alternate officials are waiting. After the integration of officials, there are many old scribes in each county waiting for the people in front of them to make mistakes, so that they can take the position.
After the names of Academician Tiangong and Academician Hanlin were decided, the breakfast for the two of them was finally finished, although it was not early.
After wiping his mouth with a wet towel, Zhu Youxiao asked, "Aiqing came over early in the morning to ask for a meeting, and I don't know what is important." ”
Xu Guangqi smiled and replied, "Your Majesty, there is not much important matter, the old minister just came to report to His Majesty on the work of the past five months." ”
"Well, you say, I'll listen." Zhu leaned back from the school, put on a comfortable posture, and listened slowly.
Seeing this, Xu Guangqi smiled helplessly, but he didn't admonish, but held the note he wrote down, and saw that it was a slow report. Among the things he said, some of them were known to Zhu Youxiao, and some were unknown to him.
For example, the first case is that land reform has been resisted, and it is currently deadlocked in Hebei Province, and no progress can be made. Speaking of this, Xu Guangqi explained, "Your Majesty, a few days ago, the old minister discussed with other cabinet elders and came up with a good method. ”
Speaking of this, he communicated with Zhu Youxiao about the method discussed that day, and in front of the emperor, Xu Guangqi was very frank, and he was very generous and natural about his cronies, students, confidants, and the like. Zhu Youxiao's performance since he ascended the throne all shows that he is a mature emperor, and a mature emperor will never be afraid of these.
Xu Guangqi is very frank, so frank that even Zhu Youxiao was a little surprised.
"This method is good, put the people you trust and implement well in Hebei, and then carry out land reform, and when you have experience and ability, you will send them to other places, so that one province will be able to complete the Ming land reform in three or five years. Yes, it's your style to go in safely and strongly. Zhu Youxiao praised.
"Since you have a method here, then I don't need to do anything more, and summon Choi Mingji and his experienced subordinates to come over."
Hearing this, Xu Guangqi couldn't help wiping the cold sweat on his forehead, fortunately he had a way that day, otherwise the group of butchers would come over and not know how big a mess it would be.
"Train your own people well, and when the land reform is rolled out across the country, it will be of great use." Zhu Youxiao said with a smile, "Liaodong, Hebei, and North Korea, the three places have started land reform, and in the future, let the Imperial Daily report more, and the future work will be carried out." ”
"Lao Chen's provincial." Xu Guangqi nodded and started the next item.
