The crown prince's wedding is not a two-table banquet that can be fooled by entertaining the neighbors.

Ceremonies, court clothes, gold books, banquets, and gold don't need silver? And the bigger problem is that the Taimiao is still in Beijing, and for such a big thing as marrying, you can't help but pay tribute to your ancestors.

"Taimiao is not a problem."

Zhu Cihong sat in front of Chongzhen, Zhou Hou, and Zhang Hou, like prisoners being interrogated. Of course, this was already a special gift to consider his tiredness all the way, and according to the rules he should stand and answer the questions of his parents and aunt.

"Didn't we bring out all the tablets of the gods?" Zhu Cihong said very seriously.

"Do you want to build another temple in Jinan for the gods?" Chongzhen asked rhetorically, obviously mocking his son's ignorance of etiquette. Now he can only regain his self-esteem as a father in literature, etiquette, and scriptures...... He has completely given up on comparing himself with his son.

"Isn't it okay to find a temple to offer to the gods?" Zhu Cihong said as he spoke, his voice gradually lowered, and from the gradually tangled faces of his father, queen mother, and queen aunt, he knew that he had said something that should not be said.

"Disrespectful to ancestors." Chongzhen squeezed out five words from between his teeth.

- I'm sorry, I don't have any idea about my ancestors. In fact, I personally think that Taizu Shizu is indeed the male master, and Renzong Xuanzong is also Mingjun, but the closer the ancestor is to the bloodline, the more people feel a little naïve. In contrast, Uncle Huang is very politically wise...... Of course, this is just a delusion.

Zhu Cihong sat on the embroidery pier, unconsciously wandering outside the objects, and began to worry about the renovation work in Henan.

The Ming officials and troops walked a circle from east to west, and all the states and counties were looking at the wind. If you don't want those people to come down again when Li Chuang comes over, you must complete the work of suppressing the bandits as soon as possible. Let the people settle down. Although these tasks are in charge of the grassroots officials below, if the boss does not keep an eye on them, all kinds of problems will definitely arise.

The problem is not the most terrible, what I am afraid of is that the executors below are hot-headed to cover up the problem!

"Brother Chun, your imperial father is talking to you!" The volume was raised after a week.

"Huh? Erchen should be damned, he was in a trance just now. Zhu Cihong hurriedly apologized.

Chongzhen's face turned slightly pale: "You are tired." Thousands of miles down like this, it is inevitable. He originally wanted his son to go down to rest, but he thought that he hadn't seen his son for so long, and if he hastily announced his retirement, his wife would definitely be displeased.

Zhu Cihong raised his spirit and said: "Father, mother, aunt, and son still hope to get married before the Shangyuan Festival." He paused to look at the trio's reactions. Give them time to digest, and then explain: "After the beginning of spring, all places must enter spring plowing and spring planting, Henan is a newly recovered place, and I am afraid that the ministers will have to sit in Kaifeng or Luoyang, so as not to lose the proportion of the county officials." Moreover, Erchen heard that Zuo Liangyu was coughing up blood day and night, and I am afraid that the end is approaching. Therefore, settling Chu Town is also an important matter. The son is sitting in Henan, and he can react faster. ”

"How about sending an overseer?" Chongzhen frowned and asked, "If you are worried that He Tengjiao will not be able to control Chu Zhen. Yuan Jixian is in Jiujiang, so he can go to Wuchang. ”

He Tengjiao is the governor of Huguang. Since he took office in the winter of 16 years, he has been in Zuo Liangyu's army and gets along with Zuo Liangyu very happily. According to the original historical script, Zuo Liangyu raised troops to the east to enter the "Qingjun side", and He Tengjiao was simply half-pushed. Later, in order to compete for the glory of recovery, he personally provoked the infighting of the Southern Ming Army and lost the good situation of opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty. It can be seen that he is a villain who has not achieved enough things and has more than enough failures.

As for Yuan Jixian, he is now the governor of Huguang, Jiangxi, Yingtian, Anqing and other places, stationed in Jiujiang, and Zuo Liangyu is indeed under his command. When Zuo Liangyu marched eastward, he personally entered the camp to dissuade him. He was later placed under house arrest. After Zuo Liangyu died of illness, his son Zuo Mengeng surrendered to the Qing Dynasty and dedicated Yuan Jixian to the Qing court. Yuan Jixian refused to surrender, generously served righteously, and left an inscription: "The big official is easy to do, but the big festival is difficult to move", and his loyalty and martyrdom were able to be tied with Wen Tianxiang and Xie Fangde.

However, a loyal minister may not be a capable minister, even if Yuan Jixian is a capable minister, he can't suppress Zuo Liangyu without soldiers in his hands. Isn't Ding Qirui, the former superintendent of Huguang, a living example? If he hadn't run fast enough, he would have been killed by Zuo Liangyu a long time ago.

"If you want to suppress Chu Zhen, I'm afraid you have to have heavy troops." Zhu Cihong shook his head and said, "And Erchen doesn't value He Tengjiao. As the governor of Huguang, he only left Wuchang in Hubei, but he did not know how to promote the army to forge ahead; Hunan was still in the hands of officers and soldiers, and he did not go to store grain to secure the people for military needs. Erchen thought that this kind of person should be regarded as a mediocre official. ”

If it was before, Emperor Chongzhen would definitely have to say a "child's opinion". However, now that he is in Shandong, he has seen the stable life of the people after the recovery along the way, and in the middle of winter this year, there is no "road down" on the streets of Jinan. The eunuchs who were secretly sent to visit also said that there were no fireworks in the Huaren field outside the city, which shows that the East Palace is indeed effective in local governance.

"Since you say so, is there a candidate for the governor of Huguang?" Chongzhen frowned and thought about it, and finally said: "Local state officials, you can appoint and dismiss the officials." ”

"Father, it's not easy to choose a good official now." Zhu Cihong said helplessly: "In Henan Province alone, the officials used are already stretched. ”

"By the way," Chongzhen said, "There has not been a palace examination after this year's examination, so if you reopen a subject after the New Year, it will be regarded as a make-up examination?" ”

"These jinshi are of no use to the sons." Zhu Cihong shook his head and said: "But if you find a reason to hold Enke next year, you will be able to collect the hearts of the world's scholars." ”

For scholars all over the world, the imperial examination is more important than that of Niang Laozi.

Now Dashun and Daxi are also holding imperial examinations, forcing scholars to take the exam, but there are few candidates. Some people even deliberately write bullshit, for fear of being selected. For this reason, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong both killed many virtuous scholars. It can also be seen from this that the signboard of Daming Jinshi is still very strong. If another course is offered at this time, most of the people from the enemy-occupied areas will also rush to the test.

"That's right, Mo Ruo even opened the township test." Zhu Cihong suddenly flashed a thought: "All students from the North can come to Jinan to take the exam; Students from Shanxi and Shaanxi can go to Kaifeng and Luoyang to take the exam; Sichuan students can go to Huguang to take the exam. No matter how much or less comes, as long as someone is willing to come, it is the harvest of the imperial court. ”

Chongzhen nodded slightly, and said, "It's just that it's not easy to find ...... from the beginning."

"Why don't you just call it...... Special Department for National Disasters. Zhu Cihong said.

Chongzhen thinks that the name of this department is really ugly, but the key to this kind of thing is to see the effect, and no one cares whether the name is good or not. At the same time, he was also very pleased that his son was able to sit with him and discuss politics, and he was decisive and decisive, unlike those mediocre ministers who couldn't talk about ideas for half a day.

"Father, there is one more thing to decide." Zhu Cihong came to the spirit, and he didn't care about the queen mother and the imperial aunt sitting in the hall, taking care of himself and speaking.

"What?"

"Amnesty." Zhu Cihong said: "Many officials who stayed in Beijing were deceived by the 'thief for Ming' in the eastern captives and served in the imperial court. Now that the situation is clear, they are afraid that they will be held accountable for the crime of being a thief and a prisoner after returning to the south, so they will be at both ends of the rat. The current plan is to ask the father to announce to the world: Anyone who lost his temperance before the eighteenth year of Chongzhen will be pardoned. If it is after the Shangyuan Festival next year, those who are still serving in the captive court will be convicted of treason and rebellion. ”

Chongzhen was stunned, shook his head and said, "You are whimsical!" That group of people deserved to die and not to die, and now they want to be forgiven? Who will be a loyal minister in the world in the future? What's more, such a character, even if they return to the south, can they still be used? I don't even have to deal with their families, let alone forgive! ”

Zhu Cihong had already prepared and persuaded: "Father, let them return south not to use them, but to make no one available to the thieves in the east. Especially in the Dongyu, the people of their own clan are vulgar and unliterate, and it is difficult to govern, and they must be assisted by Han people to sit firmly in the Han land. If the father is willing to grant amnesty, it will be tantamount to drawing wages from the bottom of the kettle.

As for whether there will be loyal ministers in the future, Erchen thinks that the key is not to kill these ministers physically, but to use newspapers and periodicals such as "Huangming Circular" to punish their reputation in the Shilin, so that the people of the world can take it as a warning. Didn't those scholars value fame? In this way, there will inevitably be no more thieves in the future. ”

Emperor Chongzhen listened to Zhu Cihong's explanation, and his heart also turned around. Rather than considering the question of whether there are loyal ministers in the future, it is better to draw salary from the bottom of the kettle first so that Dongyu will not be able to live, and maybe he can recover Beijing as soon as possible.

But as an emperor, of course, you can't appear to have too soft ears.
