Zhu Zhanji's career as a prisoner began to be uneventful, even a little dull.

In today's social structure, the government is a ruling body, a governing body, not a service body.

In other words, everyone has to pay a tax on the basis of capitation, but they do not enjoy the benefits brought by the government.

Not only do they have no welfare, but they have to endure the bullying of the upper class.

Every official's daily work is to stabilize the entire social structure, and he has never taken the initiative to serve the people.

In such a social environment, the emperor is actually very relaxed.

Get up at about six o'clock every day and make an early pilgrimage, and the morning pilgrimage lasts for more than half an hour each time, basically staying between an hour and two hours.

The people who participated in the early dynasty, except for the scholars, were all officials of the fourth rank or above.

At about eight o'clock in the morning, when the morning dynasty ended, the ministers returned to their yamen offices, and Zhu Zhanji began to eat breakfast.

During the breakfast time, the celebrant and the Honglu Temple will integrate according to the problems reported by each department.

Then Zhu Zhanji selected the people he wanted to meet with today and the affairs he would handle.

In fact, it is not every day that something is reported, which means that there are very few things to be dealt with in front of him.

On the contrary, there is an endless stream of people to meet every day, and if Zhu Zhanji is not happy to select, it will not be enough to spend every day meeting with people.

However, there are two types of people that must be seen.

The first category is the officials who have been dispatched to various places to carry out patrols, and are responsible for handling various emergencies and cases.

The other type is the promotion or demotion of officials, which is a kind of personnel power that no emperor can easily let go.

The reason why the Ministry of Officials has always been ranked at the top of the six is because of this reason.

If the emperor doesn't even know the appointment of officials and who is under him, then this emperor is about to come to an end.

After breakfast, it was time to deal with the government in the morning, that is, the noon dynasty.

The Wu Dynasty is basically held in the Wuying Hall or the Jinshen Palace, which depends on the number of foreign ministers who are received.

Most of the time is in the Wuying Palace, which is located in the southwest corner of the palace, and the terrain is open, and it is convenient to enter and exit.

When there were few people to receive him, he was in the temple of worship. The hall is the northernmost of the three halls, adjacent to the harem, and basically only cabinet members and officials above the third rank, as well as nobles above the earl can enter and exit the hall.

Of course, there are exceptions, and that is when the sutra feast is held.

The scripture feast is a special imperial chair set up by the emperors since the Han and Tang dynasties to talk about the scriptures and history, and it is also the most effective way for the emperor and future emperors to receive ruling education.

Since the Song Dynasty, from February to the Dragon Boat Festival and from August to the Winter Solstice Festival every year, the lecture period is to enter the service on a single day and take turns to lecture and read.

In Zhu Zhanji's impression, the Ming Dynasty was the dynasty that attached the most importance to the feast, but that was after the death of Zhu Zhanji in history.

At that time, the civil officials were in power, and the emperor was young, so he was naturally at the mercy of the civil officials.

But before this period, whether it was Zhu Yuanzhang or Zhu Di, a maximum of three sutra feasts were held a month. During the Zhu Di period, lectures were held every Wednesday every month.

On the third day of the first month, the thirteenth, and the twenty-third day, the morning of these three days is not to deal with the government affairs, but the emperor, the crown prince, and the grandson listen to the lectures together.

In addition to telling stories, the most important thing is to summarize according to historical events.

This kind of summary is the so-called experience, and when you encounter such things in the future, you will know what to do.

Did it work?

It can't be said to be useless, but it is by no means as useful as the civilian officials touted it.

Because history is developing, the occurrence of any event has its own complex conditions for formation or contingency.

It is okay to sum up experience according to history, but to deal with problems according to historical problems, that is, to carve a boat for a sword.

The main reason why Zhu Zhanji was not liked by the ministers was that he did not like the banquets, and when he participated in the banquets, he often made the ministers speechless.

Zhu Zhanji is not good at interpreting scriptures, but when he talks about crooked truths, his mouth is still very powerful.

The rigid thinking of the scholars could not limit the doubts of the ancients. can make Zhu Zhanji pick out many contradictions, so that they can't step down.

And Zhu Gaochi likes the feast the most, Zhu Di organizes it three times a month, and he can't wait to organize it thirty times a month.

Of course, he was only held at his James House, which was also where he was most admired by the Scholars.

But now that Zhu Zhanji is in charge of the country, of course, it is impossible to hold a sutra banquet every day and listen to a group of civil servants holding outdated things to restrict people's thinking today.

If it weren't for the fact that the cancellation of the sutra feast would do more harm than good, he would have been eager to cancel the sutra feast.

Where is the desirable place? Of course, it's still true!

The best thing about Confucianism is that it learns, adapts, and absorbs.

They were able to study the other hundred schools of thought thoroughly, and then crumple them and integrate them into Confucianism.

Since the prosperity of Confucianism in the Han Dynasty, whether it is miscellaneous, Taoist, or Legalist, all of them have been absorbed by Confucianism.

They have always limited people's thoughts, but they have been changing.

Today's Confucianism is no longer Confucianism, but a Confucianism of three religions in one. They also incorporated Buddhism and Taoism.

Therefore, after the Ming Dynasty, the prosperity of Confucianism was natural, because they now had a stronger foundation and formed a more stable foundation.

Yao Guangxiao has been fighting against Confucianism at the time, and the main reason is that Confucianism has turned everything in the Buddhist scriptures into Confucianism, and attacked its shield with its spear.

Although Yao Guangxiao was in a high position, because this Confucian system was in the interests of the imperial court, he still failed.

Confucianism is absolutely qualified as the basis of education, but it is a method of maturity, not a key technique of governance.

It's like when a person goes to school, he has to learn all kinds of basics, but when he works, he will find that most of the things are not used at all.

If you apply the knowledge from books to work and socially, you will develop yourself and be hit on the head.

But can you say that what is taught in the books is wrong?

No!

The knowledge in textbooks is to teach people to learn to think and cognitive, increase experience and broaden their horizons, enhance people's foundation in an all-round way, and enhance people's potential.

In society, what needs to be adapted to work is reality, all kinds of intricate relationships, and to be able to find an accurate social positioning for yourself.

None of these books will teach you, because everyone is an individual, a different person.

But in this era, Confucianism is to make everyone the same, and whoever disobeys will be cut down.

And they are not yet allowed to work out of the knowledge and limitations of books, which is too rigid and undesirable.

Confinement of ordinary people within the framework can effectively alleviate the resistance of ordinary people, but if the emperor is also restricted......

This is also the root of the dispute between imperial power and civil officials that lasted for two hundred years in the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Gaochi didn't know that the Ming Dynasty would perish so badly in the end, and he couldn't recognize this kind of harm, so he had to stay away from politics.

Zhu Zhanji restricted his freedom, not because he was afraid that he would cause trouble for himself, but because he was afraid that he would continue to die on the wrong path and never look back.

He actually didn't put Zhu Gaochi in his eyes at all, the emperor needed to hold the money bag in one hand and the knife handle in the other, he didn't have any of them, how could he be a threat?

The noon dynasty usually runs from breakfast to noon, and occasionally drags on until mid-afternoon, when the emperor usually invites scholars and cabinet members to eat together.

In the afternoon, unless there are large-scale natural and man-made disasters or important cases, basically the government will not be dealt with.

For example, Zhu Di likes to shoot archery in the afternoon, practice martial arts, and have fun with his concubines, and often go out of the palace to be a guest at Xungui's house, bragging to the old guys.

In the evening, he likes to watch plays from dinner, and if he doesn't watch a play every day, he will be exhausted.

Zhu Zhanji has no hobby of watching dramas, but he also has his own personal time to accompany his wife and children.

He also has to have his own social time and build closer ties with some officials outside of work.

Therefore, he will not spend his afternoons on official business.

Like Chongzhen, he has to take care of everything, he has to worry about everything, and he can't distinguish between priorities and urgency. Treat everyone as NPCs, and the end result is only rebellion.

Every official is not a robot, has its own thoughts and emotions, and if you want them to play a more active role, orders alone are not enough.

Everyone thought that Zhu Zhanji was young and vigorous, and he would immediately burn a few fires after he took over power.

But Zhu Zhanji disappointed all of them, in addition to dealing with government affairs every day, he was even more low-key than when Zhu Di was there.

Of course, this is because Zhu Di has not set off yet, and because Zhu Di helped him wipe his ass before, but now everything depends on him.

Of course, he wants to reform in his heart and sweep everything unreasonable into the garbage heap of history, but he has to eat it bite by bite.

He knew very well that every day, every matter he dealt with, every person he met, every word he spoke, every promise he made. It will be recorded by Jinyiwei and the Counseling Department, and after sorting, it will be sent to Suzhou the next day.

This kind of monitoring is not control, but Zhu Di's concern for Zhu Zhanji, he needs to know the mistakes Zhu Zhanji made, or whether he has been deceived in some aspects, and can remind him while he has not left.

But at present, it seems that Zhu Zhanji's performance is still very satisfactory to Zhu Di, and the performance of more than a dozen ministers who care for his life is also very satisfactory to him.

On March 24, the Navy's logistics department loaded all the supplies onto the ship, including not only the materials for Zhu Di's expedition to the west, but also at least ten ships, loaded with supplies to be transported to Suez.

Huang Yuan, who had been busy for two whole months, could finally breathe a sigh of relief this time, and when he got on the boat, he would not be as busy as he was now.

After Zhu Di knew the progress of the preparations, he had already asked Qin Tianjian to choose the date of departure, March 26.

On March 25, Zhu Di arrived at Liujiagang, and that night, he slaughtered pigs and sheep by the river, sacrificed to the god of the sea, and the next morning, the army left Liujiagang in the sound of neat drums.

Huang Yuan boarded the flagship with great excitement, he was excited not because he could live on the same ship as the emperor, but because Yun Niang was pregnant with his child again.

The reason why Zhu Di looked at the young Huang Yuan differently was because during the three years that Zhu Zhanji went to sea, the only subordinate placed on the ship was Huang Yuan.

Only if he, the commander-in-chief of the rear army, who controls all the circumstances of the fleet, lives on the ship, he can grasp all the information at the first time.

But in the hearts of other generals, the jealous are going crazy.

Of course, Zhu Zhanji also knew Zhu Di's every move well, and knew that Zhu Di left Liujiagang by boat, and that night, Zhu Zhanji specially drank a pot of Wuliangye to celebrate.

In this era, some famous wines of later generations were almost already available, and the alcohol content was not much different from that of later generations. Also, there is no need to worry about fake liquor blended with industrial ethanol.

In terms of material enjoyment, as long as the cost is greater, the difference from later generations is not very large.

But when it comes to technology, the gap of hundreds of years is not so easy to erase.

Food, clothing, housing and transportation, in the first three aspects, can achieve similar effects as later generations. Only the itinerary of going out cannot be compared with the afterlife.

In addition, there is the aspect of spiritual enjoyment, which is completely incomparable. Due to the limitations of the times, even an emperor cannot enjoy all kinds of information bombardment and entertainment enjoyment in later generations.

It took Zhu Zhanji more than ten years to adapt to this era and learn to pass the time in his leisure time in the current way.

"Father, don't drink it, you said you wanted to teach me to sing."

Hu Shanxiang gently took Zhu Xue's little hand, and when he heard the words, he persuaded: "Your father is happy today, let him drink two more cups." You are the lord of a country, how can you learn to sing like an opera? ”

Zhu Xue pretended to look at Zhu Zhanji pitifully, but this silent power was the most touching.

Zhu Zhanji laughed and said: "It's okay, if you don't make a living from this, just use it as a way to cultivate your sentiments, then it's not immoral." Even Emperor Tang Ming was not obsessed with music at the beginning. ”

Zhu Xue clapped her hands and smiled: "Father is wise." I also want to be as proficient in talent as Lan Fei. ”

Hu Shanxiang smiled and slapped her little buttocks. "You're a little sycophant."

Zhu Zhanji hugged Zhu Xue, put it on his lap, thought about the lyrics, and sang: "A big river has wide waves...... The wind blows the rice and the fragrance of flowers on both sides of the river......"

Today, Zhu Zhanji was in a good mood, and when he came to Hu Shanxiang's place for dinner, he couldn't help humming the song "My Motherland" softly, so that his eldest daughter Zhu Xue could hear it.

His voice is actually not suitable for singing this song at all, but it is not in public, just humming, and it is not unpleasant.

Hu Shanxiang is also a talented woman, after listening to Zhu Zhanji's singing, he asked with a smile: "Your Highness, where did you hear this slang song, although it is not quaint, but it has a special taste." ”

Zhu Xue hugged Zhu Zhanji's arm and said with a smile: "Father, it's good." ”

This is also fortunate to be full of charm and majestic "My Motherland", if you come to Jay Chou's nunchucks, I am afraid that he will be thought crazy.

Zhu Zhanji pinched her little face and said to Hu Shanxiang: "Piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, every child will have to learn it in the future." You don't need them to learn all of them, just master one or two subjects, and I don't expect them to become everyone, but at least, they can cultivate their sentiments. ”

Hu Shanxiang said gently: "Your Highness does not distinguish between the important and the important, and does not let them learn to write, but let them learn these useless things." ”

Zhu Zhanji also pinched her face, shook his head and smiled: "You don't understand...... They are only four or five years old now, and learning words too early is easy to make their brains rigid, but piano, chess, calligraphy and painting have the purpose of developing intelligence. ”

"What is the brain? What is Intelligence? ”

It's really a bit tiring to talk to the ancients, Zhu Zhanji explained to her again, but she still didn't believe it. "Where did Your Highness learn these crooked theories, the concubine doesn't believe it."

Zhu Zhanji couldn't wait to press her down and slap her on the ass a few times. However, holding the smart Zhu Xue in his arms, Zhu Zhanji did not take action. Then he asked, "How are you doing with the phonetic pronunciation of Chinese characters now?" ”

"There are a lot of problems, there was no norm before, the old precedents can be followed, each letter corresponds to a different sound, which can make people dizzy."

Zhu Zhanji has long taken this into consideration, because in this era, there is no recognized pinyin pitch, everything has to start from scratch, and just determining the pitch is a very complicated matter.

Although Zhu Zhanji made the basic pronunciation of the letters according to the pinyin of later generations, such as A to ah, B to wave.

But to determine the intonation of each word is to actively produce disputes and contradictions.

In addition to these, there are also those polyphonic words, the difference between multi-meaning words, plus everyone has to learn pinyin from scratch, this progress is definitely not fast.

Zhu Zhanji is not in a hurry about this matter, anyway, his child, the eldest Zhu Xue is less than four years old, and it doesn't matter if it is delayed for a year or two.

asked people to remove the table, Zhu Zhanji hugged Zhu Xue, and Hu Shanxiang came to the amusement park in the East Palace. Today's weather is good, neither hot nor cold, and a group of children are having fun in the amusement park.

sent Zhu Xue to play with his younger brothers and sisters, Zhu Zhanji saw Lan Yan with the palace maid and watched Zhu Shuang play there.

Since entering the palace, Zhu Zhanji can obviously feel the changes in Lan Yan, the simple and stupid girl in the past has become much more taciturn.

Sometimes, she is even hiding from herself. Zhu Zhanji didn't understand where this change came from, and he didn't bother to listen to it.

There are too many women in him, and it is impossible for him to take care of them all.

However, when she met her here, she still walked over quietly and saluted Zhu Zhanji. "I've seen Your Highness."

Zhu Zhanji nodded, looked at Zhu Shuang again, and said with a smile: "You raised Shuang'er very well, you have worked hard." ”

"The concubine is not bitter, she can be taken care of by His Royal Highness, and the concubine has nothing else to ask for. I just hope that when Frost is still young, I can give her more joy. ”

Zhu Zhanji shook his head and said, "As my daughter, who else dares to bully her?" ”

Lan Yan sighed and said quietly: "In this era, as a girl, I am already living aggrieved. ”

Zhu Zhanji glanced at the blue smoke, she didn't dare to look at Zhu Zhanji, and turned her gaze to Zhu Shuang, who was walking on the slide.

Zhu Zhanji was about to ask again, but saw a little eunuch running over with a lantern. "Your Highness, Your Highness, Ma Liangyuan is about to give birth."

Ma Xin was off medicine when he was in Suez, and when he returned to Daming, he was pregnant with a child.

Her due date is at the end of March, so it's no surprise that she's going to have a baby.

Although he already had fourteen children, Zhu Zhanji was by his side when none of the children were born.

Now that Zhu Zhanji is in the palace, he naturally wants to go over to visit.

However, by the time Zhu Zhanji came to Yongfu Palace, Ma Xin had already had a seizure. In this era, there is no such thing as companionship, and giving birth to a child is considered unclean, and men are not allowed to enter the delivery room.

Listening to Ma Xin's screams, moaning, groaning, and sounding. Zhu Zhanji paced back and forth in the courtyard, fidgeting.

When the other children were born, it was okay if he wasn't there, but now that he is here, he can't help but be a little nervous.

In his previous life, he had seven children, but at that time, technology was developed, and the danger of having children was not great.

In this day and age, having a child is no less than walking in front of the ghost gate.

Ma Xin is a typical Jiangnan girl, with a petite and graceful body, her body is so small, can she stand it?

Concubine Sun Xian also got the news and entered the courtyard with a group of entourage. "Your Highness, you should sit down for a while, and don't be impatient. Which woman should not go through this experience. Ma Liangyuan is auspicious, and if he is blessed by His Royal Highness, he will turn evil into good fortune. ”

Zhu Zhanji squeezed out a smile and said, "It's me who is obsessed, and if you care, it's chaotic." You're pregnant again, don't get tired, go back and rest. ”

Sun Xian said with a smile: "The concubine is here, it is better than His Royal Highness." You are delicate, don't get pickled here. ”

"What are you saying, it's my concubine inside, and it's my child who is going to give birth, where is it pickled."

As soon as the two said a few words, they saw a palace maid in her forties running out in a panic, and when she saw Zhu Zhanji, she knelt on the ground with a plop. "Your Highness...... Is it dystocia...... Ma Liangyuan's blood collapsed. ”

Zhu Zhanji's heart tightened, and he hurriedly said: "You guys should take care of your life, give priority to adults, and I will immediately ask people to call the imperial doctor." ”

There are two imperial doctors on night duty in the front palace, and one of them is the holy hand of gynecology. However, in this era, as long as it is not a serious symptom, it will not let the male doctor get close to the concubine's body.

Now that Ma Xin is in danger, Zhu Zhanji can't take care of it so much, and immediately said loudly: "Liu Wan, quickly summon the imperial doctor into the palace to diagnose and treat Ma Liangyuan." ”

Liu Wan went in a hurry, and after a while, he brought in a imperial doctor with a medicine box on his back. Seeing that he was still going to salute, Zhu Zhanji waved his hand: "Go and save Ma Liangyuan first......

As soon as it got dark, Ma Xin began to have seizures, and at first she could still hear her screams, and then she could no longer be heard at all.

Zhu Zhanji saw the palace maids in the courtyard replacing the basins of blood and water, and his heart was full of pessimism.

Ma Xin is only eighteen years old this year, and she is still a high school student in the future, and she is petite, so I am afraid that this time it will be really dangerous.

Looking at Zhu Zhanji's gloomy face, no one dared to come over to persuade him. Sun Xian was pregnant again, and Zhu Zhanji asked her to go back to rest first and stayed in the hospital.

It wasn't until after midnight that Zhu Zhanji heard the baby's cry in the room, so he nervously asked, "How is Ma Liangyuan?" ”

The imperial doctor came out of the room, his hands still stained with blood, and he trembled slightly. "Relationship with His Royal Highness, Ma Liangyuan gave birth to a little prince."

"I'm asking how Ma Liangyuan is?"

"Ma Liangyuan has learned too much at first, and now she is in a coma. The minister immediately went back to prepare blood tonic medicine to recuperate for Ma Liangyuan. ”

Only then did Zhu Zhanji put his mind at ease and asked, "Is she okay?" ”

"If Ma Liangyuan can wake up tomorrow, it won't be a big problem, but she will be too badly injured, and I am afraid it will be difficult to produce in the future."

Zhu Zhanji sighed. "It's good that people are okay."

A group of palace maids came out carrying blood-stained futons, and the inside had been cleaned up.

Zhu Zhanji entered the room at this time, and several palace maids knelt down with a little guy with a wrinkled face. "Congratulations, Your Highness."

Zhu Zhanji waved his hand and saw Ma Liangyuan on the bed with a pale face and sleeping there.

He withdrew his gaze and looked at this kitten-like, not good-looking child at all, but his heart was extremely soft.

This is the new life, this is the hope. Despite all the hardships and dangers, no one will give up the responsibility of inheritance because of fear.
