Chapter 13: The Horror of the Ringing Numbers

"The lower official understands ......"

Seeing Zhu Youzhen say this, Lu Wenzhao also breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as Zhu Youzhen supports him, the threat from Luo Sigong's side will be almost gone, and he only needs to take the six hundred people of Nanzhen Fusi and slowly expand.

He could see that his Highness needed more than six hundred people.

"Long live His Royal Highness Xuanwu enters the palace ~~~"

Suddenly, a familiar figure appeared at the door of Qianqing Gate, and Wei Jinzhong hung his throat to Zhu Youzhen.

Seeing Zhu Youzhen looking at him, this guy also showed a flattering smile.

"I'll go in first, remember what I said."

Zhu Youzhen was calm, and he didn't care at all about his good imperial brother's concern for the Hakka family.

He explained a sentence to Lu Wenzhao, and walked to the gate of the Qianqing Palace, the pure army on both sides of the palace gate made a compilation for him, he didn't care but glanced at Wei Jinzhong, and said loudly:

"Since the imperial brother has given you a chance, you must use it well, some things in the inner court, you and Wang Zhangyin take care of them, don't let some things that are not good for the imperial brother appear again."

"The slave knows, thank you for the reminder." Saying that, Wei Jinzhong flattered Zhu Youzhen and was not hostile to him.

After all, he's just relying on an old Hakka dog now.

Zhu Youxiao may care about the feelings of the Ke family, but if Wei Jinzhong dares to put up a fight in front of Zhu Youzhen, Zhu Youzhen can completely let Lu Wenzhao beat this guy to death on the spot.

But this is not necessary, he wants to keep Wei Jinzhong, what he wants to do in the future, someone always needs to carry the black pot, Wei Jinzhong is obviously a good candidate.

In this way, under the guidance of Wei Jinzhong, he re-embarked on the palace road of the Qianqing Palace, but this time all the eunuchs in the Qianqing Palace were replaced by the eunuchs of the East Palace.

"Eunuch of the East Palace, you transferred it?"

Zhu Youzhen walked in front, asked absentmindedly, and walked behind him, Wei Zhongxian, who was a little groveling, also flattered:

"It was the slave and maid who were transferred, and Kebaba said that the inner court was not very safe, so the slave and maid were transferred."

"Well, pay more attention to Concubine Li Kang and Concubine Zheng Guifei." Zhu Youzhen answered, and then stopped asking other questions, and they also walked to the gate of the Qianqing Palace.

However, what embarrassed him was that standing at the gate of the palace, what he saw was Zhu Youxiao with his back to him and wearing a thin sleeved shirt.

At this moment, he was digging wood against a piece of wood on a stool, and the floor tiles of the expensive Qianqing Palace were covered with scraps of cheap wood.

"Brother Huang?"

Zhu Youzhen sorted out his mood and shouted at Zhu Youxiao, who was known as the Carpenter Emperor.

I never thought that when Zhu Youxiao turned around, he actually held a planer in one hand and a book in the other.

"Brother is here? Come on, help my brother and I have a look at this recital. ”

Zhu Youxiao smiled at Zhu Youzhen, greeted him by the way, and waved the music in his hand to urge him.

Zhu Youzhen didn't expect that his good imperial brother could still plane wood with one hand and deal with sparseness with the other.

In fact, Zhu Youzhen was also led astray by some Internet public opinion in later generations.

History's evaluation of Zhu Youxiao's author Du Che Bieyi, public opinion has always instilled in him the impression that Zhu Youxiao is probably an emperor who can only be a carpenter, and he is still illiterate, and his preference is not only to be a carpenter, but to eat, drink and have fun.

However, Zhu Youxiao in the "Records of Ming Xi Zong" is not like that, and there are many records of Zhu Youxiao's lectures and readings in the Imperial Wenhua Hall in the actual records, and his personal comments on military affairs are endless.

Judging from the really serious historical data, Zhu Youxiao's education level is high, and his mind is also intelligent, and his opinions on military affairs and the employment of people are often more clever than those of his subordinates.

Most people have the impression that Zhu Youxiao ignored the government because he was a carpenter, which comes from the Qing dynasty Wang Shizhen's "Chibei Occasional Talk":

"There is an old palace supervisor who said: 'Ming Xizong is in the palace, and he is a good handmade small pavilion, and the axe is not in his hands, and the carving is exquisite. Wei Zhongxian every time he served the emperor to make a good meal, he used the chapters of the ministries and courtyards to play, and the emperor said: "You are good at life, don't deceive me." Therefore, the eunuch power is getting heavier, and the emperor is not enlightened. ’”

However, the source of Wang Shizhen's "Chibei Occasional Talks" should be from the book "Records of the Middle" written by the Ming eunuch Liu Ruoyu during the Chongzhen period.

The original text of "The Chronicles of the Middle" is: "The first emperor was good at galloping horses, good at martial arts, and very good at water plays, using large wooden barrels, large copper cylinders and the like......"

"When it is cut with a knife and unraveled the rock, those who are not close to the nickname are not allowed to peep, or there is a close cut to this chapter, and the body is dry, etc., while managing the despicable affairs, while listening to it."

"After the hundred officials finished playing, Yuyin said: 'You go with your heart, I know.'"

From here, it can be seen that Zhu Youxiao is ingenious, good at mechanical design, good at the manufacture of building furniture, and has a genius in this area It is a fact, but to say that Zhu Youxiao ignored the government in order to be a carpenter is just a distortion of the facts after rumors.

In December of the first year of the Apocalypse, Ye Xianggao, the first assistant of the cabinet, once said to Colonel Zhu You:

"My emperor is smart and arrogant, and when the time comes, he can really be described as a diligent and studious master. But today's taste of the dynasty is not only a set of documents, but nothing about political affairs. However, the time is limited, and I am afraid that we will not be able to understand the subtleties of righteousness and reason, and the gains and losses of ancient and modern politics. ”

That is, Ye Xianggao also admitted that Tianqi was very diligent, often went to court, and often listened to lectures, but he was worried that Zhu Youxiao would retreat to the deep palace like Wanli and Jiajing and waste time.

However, when he saw Zhu Youxiao resting in the inner court, he would also review the recitals, and he would often pass on the message, indicating that Zhu Youxiao was very attentive to state affairs even in the palace.

After Zhu Youxiao retired to the deep palace, he did not abandon the government, but he was too lazy to go to the court.

After all, in terms of the political situation in the late Ming Dynasty, the last dynasty just watched a group of people quarrel, and in the end, they couldn't think of a solution to the problem.

It's better to deal with the government directly in the deep palace, and if you think that things can be ordered, and if you are rejected by the cabinet, you will change a group of obedient cabinets.

Therefore, even if Zhu Youzhen is somewhat familiar with the history of the late Ming Dynasty, as a person who needs to work, it is impossible for him to hold "Ming Shilu" and "Ming History" every day to read it.

He only remembers some big things, and it is difficult to remember the small things of the individual.

Seeing Zhu Youxiao asking him for his opinion, he also stepped forward to take a look.

[Hubu played Liaodong's new salary from the leap April of the 46th year of Wanli to September of the first year of Taichang, a total of 1,515,723 taels were issued, and there was still an arrears of 1,287,400 taels of Liaodong silver, and the rest of each side was 1,650,000 taels. 】

This recital is very novel, of course, Zhu Youzhen is not referring to the content, but the style of it, which is actually mixed with simplified Chinese in traditional Chinese.

"I didn't expect the Ming Dynasty to have the operation of writing simplified Chinese characters on official documents, but there is a little difference between this simplified Chinese and the simplified Chinese characters of later generations......

After sighing at the common use of simplified and traditional Chinese characters, Zhu Youzhen paid attention to the content.
