Chapter 633: Running for the Election (Thanks to OnoD for His Support)
"Your Ministers respectfully invite our Emperor Sheng'an!" In the imperial study, Zhai Luan, Yan Song, Xia Yan, Zhang Xuan, Fan He, Yang Shen and other important ministers paid their respects.
"I'm going to bow down." Zhu Houwei raised his hand and said, "You Aiqing don't need to be polite, give me a seat."
"Your Majesty, thank you."
"How's it going?" After saying this, Zhu Houwei's eyes fell directly on Zhang Jimeng.
Now Zhu Houwei rarely asks about the affairs of the court, basically the constitution drawn up by the parliament, as long as there is no major problem, he will directly give instructions, which can be regarded as delegating power to the parliament, in addition to controlling the general direction, he directly became the shopkeeper.
Of course, this does not mean that Zhu Houwei will not look back on the road of the faint monarch of the sound of dogs and horses, on the contrary, because of the successive improvement of various systems in the Ming Dynasty, there are not many things that Zhu Houwei needs to worry about.
If Zhu Houwei is the helmsman of the giant ship of the Ming Dynasty, then the few people in front of him are the sailors, in other years, they are real cabinet assistants, and the current parliament just divides their powers.
But as the speaker and deputy speaker, several people are still the top of the Ming officialdom pyramid.
Several important ministers have also been conscientious and did not dare to slack off in the slightest over the years, and took care of the affairs of the world in an orderly manner, which is not to say how diligent and selfless a few people are, but they know awe, and they know better what kind of emperor Emperor Jiajing is!
Emperor Jiajing is no longer what Ming Jun can describe, this is the most heroic lord throughout the ages, don't care about the Han Wu Tang Sect, compared with Emperor Jiajing, it is not a star and a half.
This is a Gaidai emperor who disdains the name of the Son of Heaven and only recognizes himself as the emperor of the people.
Under the governance of this emperor, the Ming Dynasty surrendered, the Haiyan River was clear, the people were rich, and the world was worry-free.
In the Jiajing Dynasty, the pace of imperial expansion has far exceeded that of Qiangyuan, if you compare the actual territory of the Zhengde Dynasty, and then count the land colonized overseas, then the territory of the Ming Dynasty at this time is at least five times more than that of the Zhengde Dynasty!
This is a deeply loved by the people, the world's millions of strong troops sworn allegiance, so that the Manchu officials do not dare to slack off the slightest king, his gaze can be extended to any corner under the rule of the Ming Dynasty, if you are corrupt and pervert the law, maybe you can still be fine, but if you are a vegetarian meal, occupy the pit and don't, and want to do nothing, hehe, then let you roll lightly, maybe the evidence of corruption will be thrown in your face, and then go to prison!
As for those officials who cruel the people and harm the people, there is no need to mention the end.
Therefore, several bigwigs know very well in their hearts that as an official in the Jiajing Dynasty, they must seek their own government in their positions, and it is okay to be less greedy, but if they are greedy and can't do things well, it is better to resign early, lest the butcher's knife fall on their heads without knowing when.
Nowadays, the emperor rarely summons ministers, and the advantages of the system are also reflected in the advantages at this time, so the ministers rarely bother the emperor.
Finally born in the royal family, is not to come to the world to enjoy the glory and wealth, after more than ten years of hard work, Emperor Jiajing pointed out all the directions to the officials, all the roads have been paved, and the future development direction of the Ming Dynasty has been given.
In the last two or three months, there have been two major events for the ministers!
One is the marriage of the eldest princess of the Ming Dynasty, and the other is the material preparation of Emperor Jiajing's personal expedition.
The emperor's draft girl, the marriage preparations of the prince and the princess are actually the affairs of the Ministry of Rites, of course, there is no Ministry of Rites now, so it is the matter of the Ministry of Rites that replaced the Ministry of Rites.
But the ministers all know what kind of character Emperor Jiajing is, if you want to tell the emperor that the heavenly family has no family affairs, and family affairs are state affairs, Emperor Jiajing can crash you overseas with a fart......
This has happened once before, and that time was the wedding of the king!
Unlike the two princes who were first divided into Australia, the mothers of the two princes went to Australia with them, and they were still minors, so they were divided earlier, so they didn't get married when they went to Australia, and the marriage was handed over to the mothers of the two princes.
But King Ding is different, King Ding went to the Americas, just the preparation time was two or three years, and King Ding was already sixteen years old when he left, and his mother Concubine Zhuang did not go with him, plus Emperor Jiajing has always been very fond of the eldest son, and he has high hopes for the eldest son, so it is not surprising to personally handle his marriage.
King Ding went to the Americas to establish a kingdom and was also the emperor, so according to tradition, the Ministry of Rites and Music should also select three women from the small family, one for the main concubine and two for the side concubine.
However, the Ministry of Rites and Music was directly sprayed by Emperor Jiajing......
In Emperor Jiajing's view, at the beginning of the establishment of the country, a hundred wastes are waiting to be revived, at this time, the royal family needs to rely on all the forces that can be used, so the queen's maiden family is undoubtedly the biggest help of King Dingwang in the Americas!
As for relatives?
He's just a joke, even if his relatives are powerful, what can he do, is it difficult to control the country, and dare to set the emperor in the air!
If you really dare to do this, the heavenly soldiers of the Ming Dynasty will rush to the Americas as fast as possible and strangle this so-called foreign relative force!
The most important thing is that the army trained by the current Ming Dynasty and the old army of the past are completely two concepts, every soldier enlists, must strengthen the idea of loyalty to the monarch, strengthen patriotism, get army loyalty, and have their own army and eagle dogs adult princes need to worry about relatives?
As for the phenomenon of suspicion of the lord and the country in later generations, if it is not possible, the mother will be killed and the son will be kept, and the power of foreign relatives will be eliminated.
In the end, King Ding married Xu Yuanyuan, the daughter of the Marquis of Yongkang, and was canonized as the princess of Ding, and now she is the queen of the Ding Dynasty!
The Ministry of Etiquette and Music now admits it, since the emperor doesn't look at these precautions, then they still take care of a fart, select people, and act according to etiquette.
This time the eldest princess's marriage was the same.
Zhang Jimeng, head of the Ministry of Rites and Music, stood up and said: "According to Your Majesty's instructions, the Ministry of Rites and Music has screened 68 scholars who fully meet Your Majesty's requirements in Guozijian, Yanda and various universities in Tongzhou, and can arrange an audience at any time."
"Okay." Zhu Houwei nodded approvingly, after all, he was choosing a son-in-law for his eldest daughter, and it was impossible for Zhu Houwei to relax in the slightest.
The requirements for choosing a son-in-law can be described as harsh, but Zhu Houwei is still good and listens to the minister's opinions, this time from the selection of scholars, if there are no scholars in the universities, then it will be announced to the world, so that all the children of wealthy families who are interested in becoming concubines, and even elite talents from all walks of life, will come to the Ministry of Rites and Music to participate in the election on the premise of voluntarily entering Beijing!
