Then comes the Chinese New Year, one of the three annual holidays for officials. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info For the royal family, the New Year is very troublesome, and after Yun Xi became the grandson in the past two years, he was deeply touched.

However, those who should be entertained still have to be entertained, and even emperors like Lao Zhu can't avoid it, let alone Yun Xi. Yun Xi ended a New Year in a dizzy mood, during which in addition to the prescribed banquet, the banquet with the subordinate officials of the East Palace must also be attended; Although Yun Xi did not stay long at the banquet of the students of the martial arts hall, he also participated.

After the New Year, Yun Xi rested for a few days according to the habits of later generations, and did not lift his spirits and start working until the seventh day of the new year.

The first thing to deal with after the New Year is the issue of 'employment distribution' for students in Wutang. Lao Zhu has been killing corrupt officials, although they are mainly civilian officials, but there are also corrupt and killed among the generals. However, the official positions vacated by these slain people are not enough for nearly 300 students to have official positions. The lord's family can be temporarily unemployed at home for a period of time, but the others can't, you can't let them wait for the lord, you can't be promoted after going to the martial arts hall, then the people below will think that the martial arts hall is not very useful.

Fortunately, Lao Zhu was prepared in advance. First of all, he asked some of the students whose fathers were older to go back to replace their father's hereditary lineage, and raised the hereditary level for good grades; Then, because of the current characteristics of 'there are no big wars, small wars are continuous', Lao Zhu disrupted some students' places of origin and sent them to other places to fill the vacancies or wait for the vacancies, and according to the grades arranged by Lao Zhu and Yunxi in advance, they will fill the vacancies when they encounter them; And Lao Zhu ordered: In the case of no military exploits in peacetime, priority will be given to the promotion of students in the martial arts hall.

On the one hand, now that Lao Zhu is still here, the Ming Dynasty has just been founded for more than 20 years, and the upper-level officials are still fine, and most of the middle- and lower-level officials in the army have not yet had a particularly obvious factional distinction.

On the other hand, for those places that receive students from the Lecture Martial Arts Hall who fill vacancies, there are often students from their local areas who fill vacancies in other places, and maybe they are still in the same school building.

In this way, Lao Zhu and Yunxi's strategy was not implemented smoothly.

Then there were some people, Lao Zhu said to Yunxi: "These people with excellent grades, it is better for you to take them with you when you go to the north to inspect, to show your attention to them; Second, these people are all skilled, and they are good to protect you on the road; After all, Grandpa Sanlai is in the middle of the capital, and there may not be people underneath to deceive Grandpa, so you can find these people on the road and let them make up for them on the spot. ”

Yun Xi felt that Jiang was still old and spicy, and a group of people served them for free, but they were afraid that they would be grateful to Dade, so he said, "Then listen to grandpa." ”

Yun Xi immediately said to the students who were not assigned, "I am going to the north to inspect this summer, and I will take you with me." The students were really grateful to Dade and felt that they had taken advantage of them, and the other assignees were envious of them.

Next is the start of the new lecture hall. Of course, Yun Xi also brought it himself. This time, Lao Zhu said two sentences at the beginning, and then Yun Xi said a lot to motivate the students.

In February, Feng Sheng, the Duke of Song, was killed for 'lawlessness'. Although Yun Xi admired Feng Sheng's merits and was very reluctant to Feng Sheng to be killed, he couldn't change Lao Zhu's decision, so he could only silently accept this reality. At this point, all the six founding dukes died.

Fortunately, Lao Zhu did not connect, Fu Youde and the deaths of several of them did not become a major case, and about thirty percent of the founding heroes were left, and there were relatively enough capable generals. The 'Hongwu Four Major Cases' in history are one less big case.

In February, Lao Zhu ordered: 'The household department is divided into 100 households. Marriage, death, death, sickness, and suffering, the rich in the rich help the wealth, and the poor help. Spring and autumn harvest, work together to teach the people harmony. It is to let the people help each other in hundreds of households. This is another action by Lao Zhu in order to break the local clan power and increase the state's control over the people.

Together with the previous gentry's integrated payment of grain and apportionment of the land, it was a weakening of local power. Lao Zhu also spared no effort to weaken local forces.

In the same month, Mu Chun captured and killed Ah Zi, ending another rebellion in Yunnan. At this time, Zhu Yang had already set off for Yunnan to take office, but he had not yet arrived in Kunming.

Before Zhu Yang left, Yun Xi talked to Zhu Yang again: "Uncle Min, you must pay more attention when you arrive in Yunnan, Yunnan is not as good as the mainland, and it is not like the north, Uncle Wang must be more attentive, there will be bigger things waiting for you to undertake in the future." With that, he left.

Zhu Yang looked at his departing back at that time, pondering his words, but did not react for a long time.

Zhu Yang was followed by hundreds of Langzhong. Lao Zhu has officially ordered the establishment of medical centers in various toasts, but there is a shortage of suitable Langzhong for the time being, so because Zhu Yang has just taken office, everything that can be collected has been sent by Lao Zhu to Yunnan (including Guizhou) to follow Zhu Yang. The other provinces will have to wait.

In March, just as the capital was preparing for Yunxi's lively wedding, news came from Xi'an that Zhu Zhang, the king of Qin, had died. At that time, it happened that Lao Zhu was talking to Shang Bing and a few of them, and when he heard the news, Shang Bing almost fainted on the spot, and asked to go back as soon as he woke up.

Lao Zhu is also very sad. By the time Zhu Fan died, he had five sons who had died. After all, Lao Zhu is an old man in his sixties, and he will be sick in bed immediately. Lao Zhu ordered: All major national affairs will be handled by Yunxi.

The center of power of the Ming Dynasty was temporarily transferred to the Wenhua Palace. Lao Zhu also allowed Yun Xi to use Zhu Pi (Note 1), and Yun Xi tried what it was like to be an emperor.

Yun Xi was busy immediately. Watching and dealing with the government and dealing with the government in person is a completely different feeling, Yun Xi is busy and in a hurry, fortunately, Lao Zhu is still here, and no one dares to deceive Yun Xi because he has no experience to deceive him.

But Yoon-hee still feels very busy. At this moment, Zi Yunxi was finally able to really understand why the emperor in the middle of the Ming Dynasty knew that relying on a bachelor's degree would reduce the imperial power and still use scholars, but they couldn't be busy at all, not that person had Lao Zhu's perseverance. Yun Xi boasted that he was still very persistent, but he still couldn't stand it.

He had to use methods that had been proven by history to be effective in reducing the emperor's workload: Yun Xi divided the recitals into two categories, only to see or only need to approve the 'yes or no', and he personally dealt with them, and those who needed to find a way to hand them over to Qi Tai, Lian Zining, Qin Song, and others to read the draft handling opinions first, and then he would deal with them last.

In the end, Lao Zhu rested for more than ten days, and Yun Xi relied on this method to survive. But Yun Xi knew that this method would not work, and it was better to restore the position of prime minister; Lao Zhu explicitly ordered that the prime minister should not be reinstated, and Yun Xi was not good at doing it directly, which was very nerve-wracking. However, there are still three years before Lao Zhu's death, and Yun Xi still has time to think about it.

In Lao Zhu's illness, once Yun Xi went to see him, Lao Zhu said to Yun Xi: "Grandpa has five sons who have died, except for Qi'er (Lao Jiu Zhao Wang) who died early, Zi'er (Lao Ba Tan Wang) who can't think of it himself (Note 2), the others are all young and died of illness, why do you leave me an old man still in this world." ”

"Last month, I rewarded him for his commander's crusade against Fanguo and made him surrender, but I didn't expect to die like this."

Yun Xi heard him mention Zhu Biao, and he was also sad; Seeing Lao Zhu so sad, he couldn't say what he wanted to say.

Yun Xi came to Lao Zhu originally to ask him to take back the order to let the concubine of King Zhu of Qin Han be martyred.

A few days ago, Lao Zhu made an order: let all the concubines of Zhu Zhang, the king of Qin Han, including the main concubine Wang (Note 3), and the second concubine Deng (Deng Yunu) be martyred for Zhu Rong.

When Zhu Biao died, Lao Zhu ordered all of Zhu Biao's unborn concubines to be buried. At that time, Yun Xiyi was a soft-spoken person, and he didn't dare to give advice to Lao Zhu; The second is that he was hungry and sleepy, and he was not well-informed, and by the time he knew about the funeral, he was already dead. There was no point in speaking for the dead, and he didn't dare to disobey Lao Zhu, so it was over.

Martyrdom is a very inhumane act, since Qin Shi Huang unified the world, no dynasty has been buried alive before the Ming Dynasty. At that time, only the barbarian Mongols would use living people for burial. Lao Zhu's burial as a living person inherited a very bad custom of the Mengyuan Dynasty, and Yun Xi was resolutely opposed. If you keep being martyred, what is the difference between the Han and the barbaric Mongols!

Therefore, Yun Xi came to ask Lao Zhu to take back his life. But looking at Lao Zhu's pale face, and he didn't know King Qin's concubine, it was difficult to empathize. Of course, the most important thing is that he is afraid of Lao Zhu, even though Lao Zhu is now a sick tiger, Yun Xi is still afraid. In the end, he couldn't say it.

But Yun Xi silently made up his mind in his heart: when he can speak and count, he must abolish the funeral!

===========================================================

Note 1: In ancient times, only the emperor's fold could use Zhu Batch, that is, to write with red paint, if the emperor could not work normally, when someone else acted as an agent, the blue batch was mostly used.

Note 2: In the twenty-third year of Hongwu at that time, the father and eldest brother of King Tan Zhengfei Yu were involved in the Hu Weiyong party case and killed, and King Tan was also uneasy. Lao Zhu knew that King Tan was uneasy, so he sent someone to appease him and told him to enter Beijing. I didn't know that the thread in King Tan's head was wrong, and he actually burned himself to death with his concubine Yu. After that, there was no child to remove the seal.

Note 3: This Wang's original surname was Temur, also translated as Timur, and his brother's name was Wang Baobao, whose original name was Tuhuan Temur. This Wang is the original form of Zhao Min in "Heaven and Dragon Slayer".
