Chapter 146
The imperial court finally stopped, Wanli's ears were cleaned, and Zhu Yidao's leisurely life began. He returned to the familiar Beijing Division, and saw the familiar Jiang Fei and others, very happy, just a week back, Comrade Zhu had nothing to do to wander around, wandering around the mountains, although the official road under the mountain was still full of bones. In order not to affect his mood, he could choose the uninhabited trail mountain, looking at the wonderful scenery, and the sound of the woods in his ears, comfortable!
I had nothing to do in the barracks at night, so I continued to tell the story to the little boy Zhu Changxun, but they were all stories adapted from modern times - the status of the prince of the third son of the emperor is now temporarily stable, after all, no one will get along with God, although it is still very possible to get along with the son of heaven, Zhu Yidao's roar that day made everyone have such an illusion, that is, since this matter is doomed, it is meaningless to object. Therefore, the education of the third son of the emperor has become a big problem.
Lao Zhu thought that he couldn't lecture at all, but when the situation was so good, the emperor still didn't panic to arrange for the third son of the emperor to go out of the cabinet to study, so he became a teacher in the name of a little kid. What should I say? He didn't know, Jiang Fei didn't know, only Wang Shi, the little eunuch, carefully served the little kid every day with the etiquette of the prince. This incident made Zhu Yi's head as big as a fight, and he remembered some modern methods of teaching elementary school students, but completely forgot the fact that the little kid was already eleven years old. Some of the more classic fairy tales are no longer suitable for him, and whenever Zhu Yidao talks about Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs again, the little kid will frown, indicating that he is tired of it.
So Lao Zhu could only pick some more difficult stories, such as the ancient Chinese version adapted from the Sherlock Holmes crime-solving collection, the ancient Chinese version of Detective Conan, and even some simple mathematical knowledge, and told it to the little kid in one go, regardless of whether he could understand it or not, and directly ignored Wang Shi's complaining eyes: How can you tell His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Majesty the future Emperor about these messy things?! However, Zhu Changxun expressed great interest, especially his love for the sky, and begged Zhu Yidao to tell him.
Poor old Zhu pondered for a long time, and only the story of Zheng He's trip to the West in the past few decades could tell him, but some specific processes are not well remembered, but these glorious deeds are enough to make Zhu Changxun's eyes widen: Is this eunuch named Sanbao and later Zheng He really so great?
Yes. Zhu Yidao said very seriously, he not only thoroughly spread the majesty of the Ming Dynasty to every corner of the world, but also promoted the exchanges between the Ming Dynasty and other countries, and more importantly, he spread our Chinese civilization to the countries around the Ming Dynasty. For that reason alone, he should be recorded forever in the annals of history.
The little kid grew up in surprise and asked, "None of these fathers have told me, how do you know?"
Zhu Yidao was a little embarrassed, so he planned to make a fuss about his fabricated life experience, saying that when he was still overseas, no matter what race, no matter what country, he regarded Zheng He as the eunuch general of the Ming Dynasty, and everywhere he went, he was looking at the wind! There was once a small country, because of arrogance rashly detained my Ming envoy, Zheng He was very angry when he found out, and the sergeants were also angry, so he brought more than a thousand soldiers, defeated the country's tens of thousands of troops, captured the emperor and queen of the other party, and brought back the Ming Dynasty to prison! What a feat!
Wang Shi, who was eavesdropping on the side, couldn't help but fall into deep worship. Zheng and Zheng Sanbao, the status of the eunuchs is supreme, even the former minister Liu Jin, when he mentions him, he is also reverent, if anyone dares to say that he does not say a word, I am afraid that he will be attacked by the crowd. After so many years, the front of the hall of the East Factory of the Master of Ceremonies is for Yue Feiyue's grandfather, and the one in the inner hall is Zheng He! But I don't know what the reason is, his reputation is admired by everyone, but what exactly he has done is little known, perhaps because of the reason that he is ashamed of being inferior to others, the great eunuchs are more shy about this name. So it's too normal that the little eunuchs below don't know about his feat.
Therefore, Wang Shi listened to these relatively exaggerated things, and fell into worship and deep fanaticism for him! When will our family be like him, it will be good to go down in history!
The little kid's face turned red when he heard this, and he couldn't help but shout in the excitement: "You should beat these dogs!" Those who offend me will be punished even if they are far away! Zhu Yidao was shocked, how did he know this famous sentence? Wang Shi lowered his head and said with a smile, two days ago, the third prince begged him to tell a story, but he had no choice but to tell a little anecdote about Li Guang, the general of the Han Dynasty, so that the third prince remembered this sentence thoroughly. Zhu Yidao glanced at him deeply, it's okay, if I let Lao Tzu know that you tell the little boy some messy things, see how I clean you up!
In fact, Wang Shi has the same mind as him.
In addition to being bored, Zhu Yidao relied on the map of the Ming Dynasty hanging on the wall, carefully added some content, and then asked people to make a simple sand table, and took Jiang Fei and others to ponder carefully every day, mountains, rivers, forests, lakes...... With the joint efforts of everyone, this sand table is becoming more and more difficult, and the content of the surface is also increasing. Lao Zhu pointed to the sand table and told everyone about the terrain he was familiar with, and the famous war history that took place in some places.
It was very interesting when he talked about the history of the war, such as pointing out the territory of Qin and Zhao during the Warring States period, and then asking everyone to play the role of the two countries in offensive and defensive battles. When it is intense, others will enthusiastically coax and support the moves, Lao Zhu is helpless, telling everyone that watching the battle is a true gentleman! After the drill was completed, the famous battle was narrated little by little, and at this time, Jiang Fei and other great generals were amazed by the generals of the Qin State, Bai Qi, Wang Jian and others, this is the ancient general! I admire the wisdom of King Qin's division of the Zhao Kingdom, if Lian Po is responsible for leading all the Zhao troops to fight to the death, this matter is really hard to say!
When he was tired, Lao Zhu would ask the sergeants to tell everyone about some of the topographical characteristics and folk customs of his hometown. Sergeant Yousuo comes from all over the world, and in front of many senior officers, he can talk in detail about the characteristics of his hometown, which is not an ordinary sense of achievement!
So there was a craze in the right place of the Beijing Division, and every time after the morning exercise, everyone gathered in the barracks and told everyone, including the little boy, about their hometown. This is a big talk, the small sand table and the big map of the Ming Dynasty are actually half clear! Jiang Fei told Zhu Yidao in private that this was more detailed and closer to the truth than the sand table in the yamen made by the commander of the Jinyi Guard!
It didn't take long for Qin Xiao's little girl to send a letter to Lao Zhu, in addition to expressing her thoughts and worries about him, she more euphemistically revealed that her Lao Tzu Qin Mi's life is very tense now. I went to the yamen early in the morning to report for duty, and then I was busy until the middle of the night before I came back, and I didn't care about eating, so I fell asleep; The entire Yamen of the Ministry of Officials is now busy with all fours facing the sky.
Zhu Yidao is very strange, why is a principal so busy? Jiang Fei sighed, and only after a while did he say that there were too many officials who had been demoted, exiled, or removed from office for more than half a year, but the imperial court did not add them in time, so that there were fewer and fewer people to work.
If a student takes the Jinshi exam, don't be too happy, because there may not be an official to do it after the exam. It is said that there should be more corrupt officials and corrupt officials, but since the emperor beheaded Zhao Yiquan, the political envoy of Henan, corrupt officials seem to have disappeared all at once. The Ming Dynasty was suddenly cleared.
In fact, it is not because there are few corrupt officials, but because there are very few officials themselves! What's more, the officials have been taken down so much! According to the previous system, there should be more than 50 people in the six ministries, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate should have more than 100 people. But this year's incident of fighting for the country's capital, there are only four people left in the six ministries! Five of them actually didn't even give the matter, and there was no one in charge! Of the thirteen imperial histories of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, there were only five people left, but they were doing the work of more than a dozen people, how could they not be tired?
Jiang Fei gave an example: The Metropolitan Procuratorate is a supervisory body, and it often has to go to all parts of the country to inspect, and the five people have to patrol the two capitals and 13 provinces of the Ming Dynasty, and they can't even go back home at the end of the year. There was once a benevolent brother who had been patrolling outside for six years! Six years later, I tried my best to find a substitute ghost and went home. After the poor went back, his daughter didn't know him anymore, so she pulled her mother and asked who this man was?
There are only five grassroots imperial histories left, and there is not one senior imperial history. The left capital imperial history, the right capital imperial envoy is often vacant. No one cares about the attendance of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, whether you have come to work, or whether you have gone home to rest, no one knows at all, it is all up to you. In fact, this has to be entrusted to Wanli's blessing, whenever someone complains, it is ironclad to take these officials who are the imperial history, demote at every turn, and distribute the frontier at every turn. You've gotten people away, and you have to keep adding? Otherwise, who will do all this work?
Speaking of this, Jiang Fei sighed. In fact, the second worst is the Sixth Department of the Central Committee. The current six departments, those in charge plus those who are in charge of things, there are only four people in total. The Ministry of Rites is still missing, and it has not been filled; There is also only one left squire in the household; The Ministry of Works, the left waiter and the right waiter are all gone, and they have been empty, only a few Lang Zhong and the main person are on top. Qin Mi Qin's official department, Shang was fired a while ago because he was fired, the left waiter was sent to Guangxi because he supported the official, and the right waiter was sick because of anger.
