Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Afternoon Dynasty

No matter how the dark tide surges, it is still Zhu Yuanzhang who really decides everything. Still above the imperial court.

Today, it is rare to see the court.

After He Xi came back from Liaodong, he actually rarely went to court. Because he is not in charge of the operation of a certain department, the court is just a punishment station. Zhu Yuanzhang also did not give him a proper send. It's an idle job. But you can't come to that kind of thing.

However, after He Xi was suddenly attacked by Song Ne last time, he learned his lesson.

Interested in inquiring about news from the court.

Perhaps for some people, the news in the court cannot be heard at all. But in some circles, it's all open secrets. than how to Xi this level of the circle. It's not that some people don't know about secrecy. But when a person, or a party, has an opinion on a certain matter. At the beginning, what was done was to widely solicit the support of personnel, or to ask the emperor for support. Wait a minute.

Unless a lone wolf strikes suddenly.

Otherwise, it would not be possible to keep the news unrevealed.

And politically, it is difficult for a person to do much. Even if he is a lonely minister, it means that he wants to stand with the emperor. And not really no group at all. Politics has always been a game of doing more of one's own people and doing less of others.

He Xi knew that there must be something going on this time. Therefore, I also came to the station.

A series of ceremonial acts, needless to say.

Then the affairs of all parties were played one by one, such as Zhou Dexing, the Marquis of Jiangxia, and the Jingzhou Dam was built.

This is also a special case in the Hongwu period, and there are military ministers in various places to guard and go deep into civil affairs. Especially some of the works. And this is a big project, among the Yangtze River waterways, only Jingzhou is the most dangerous. Therefore, Jiang Xiahou proposed to build a dam to protect the people.

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately consulted with the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Industry and asked if there were any financial problems or technical problems. I consulted the minister who is an expert in water control again, and asked what is wrong with Zhou Dexing's plan? In the end, after the ministers had no objections, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered the secretary to supervise and urge the Hanlin Academy to issue a holy decree. Decide this one thing.

I have to say that Zhu Yuanzhang's early dynasty was still very efficient.

Everybody is there, one thing, all departments are involved. After asking for a circle, you can make a decision on the spot.

Soon the government affairs were handled more or less.

Ren Ang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, said: "Let's report that some envoys have been humiliated by Java when they leave Java, and hundreds of soldiers have died. The minister was in charge of the Ministry of Rites, checked the old files, and did not know about it. The minister didn't know how to respond. Your Majesty, please. ”

He Xi didn't care too much about this Ministry of Rites.

No, it should be said that He Xi doesn't care about the six Shangshu.

Because these six books cannot be held for a long time, from the fourteenth year of Hongwu to the present, the six books are almost one book a year. On the contrary, the people of the Hanlin Academy can serve a little longer. He Xi didn't know where to go to these scholars, no matter how much work he had done, when He Xi was transferred back to Beijing, these scholars didn't know where they had gone.

It's all useless work.

It's the same today, He Xi only knows that this person is a former Yuan Jinshi, a native of Xingyang, Henan. As for more background. There was no scrutiny. It's not worth the effort. Fortunately, Song Lin is here. Because Song Lin is a fellow villager with this person. Liu Sanwu and others are southerners. For overseas affairs, Henan people are not sensitive.

However, for the labor expedition. Most of the civil servants and doctors were against it.

Even if He Xi sent Song Lin to talk privately, Ren Ang didn't give much face. Just don't attack He Xi. However, there are some things that still need to be said.

The Ministry of Rites is in charge of foreign affairs, and it is the matter of the Ministry of Rites to send envoys to foreign countries or to receive foreign envoys. These three expedition fleets were also nominally envoys. After all, in the traditional political language of the Ming Dynasty, it is difficult to explain the matter of exploration.

In doing so, He Xi is blatantly trampling on the power of the Ministry of Rites. As the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, he can't stand out, if he doesn't come out, what will the people below think of him.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang spoke: "It's not early today. This matter was pressed, and it was discussed in the afternoon court, and the next one was discussed. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't say anything about this matter. It's not that this one thing isn't important, it's that this one thing is important.

If the Great Dynasty is a big court meeting, the afternoon Dynasty is a small meeting, and the Evening Dynasty is a supplementary meeting. This matter is of great importance. It's not good to talk about it here, there are many people.

There is no need for everyone to participate in the noon dynasty, as long as the relevant personnel participate.

He Xi breathed a sigh of relief. secretly said in his heart: "This time the confrontation is in the noon dynasty." ”

------

Today's affairs, there are some more. The morning morning opens late.

After waiting for the morning dynasty, it was still bright. According to the rules, officials who participated in the noon dynasty did not have to go back. Porch food has been prepared. After eating, you can rest for a while after the house next to you. After all, it was too early to get up. If you don't make up for sleep, it will be difficult to stick to it at noon.

I have to say that during the Hongwu period, Zhu Yuanzhang was very diligent. Being a high-ranking official in the Ming Dynasty is also very hard.

He Xi has his own exclusive room in the palace, which is in the Qianqing Palace. However, He Xixian saw Zhu Yuanzhang before the Wu Dynasty, and was rarely rejected. Xu Zheng replied to He Xi and said, "Your Majesty said, let's talk about it at noon." ”

He Xi understood.

Zhu Yuanzhang hopes that in the future, the Ming Dynasty will move towards modernity and the future. As for the understanding of the modern and the future, no one in the world can compare with He Xi. But this alone is not enough. He Xi must have the ability to be a politician.

This is the reason why Zhu Yuanzhang has been cultivating He Xi.

And as a politician, if he has been protected by Zhu Yuanzhang, he will not have much success in the future. Don't say that Zhu Yuanzhang will not be there in the future. Just to say, now that he is in Beijing, Zhu Yuanzhang can protect it. Locally, it's really tricked. All Zhu Yuanzhang can do is to take revenge.

After all, even the emperor sometimes has to follow political rules.

"It's a big test." He Xi said secretly in his heart: "However, I am not afraid of the exam." ”

------

The noon dynasty is in the Wenhua Palace. It's no longer the royal gate.

The number of people is also much lower.

The Ministry of Industry, the Criminal Department, and several other yamen were simply absent. Because there is no such thing as them.

In addition, Feng Sheng, the Duke of Song, chose to stay. This made He Xi feel a little confident. The Six Kingdoms of the Ming Dynasty. Li Shanchang has long been abolished by Zhu Yuanzhang. Often in spring, Deng Yu is no longer there. There are only three left, Xu Da, Tang He, and Feng Sheng.

Now only Feng Sheng is in Beijing.

Of course, among the Jingshi, there is not no noble who can compete with Feng Sheng, that is, Li Wenzhong, the Duke of Cao Guo.

He Xi thought of Cao Guogong and sighed slightly. Because he knew that Li Wenzhong was already counting the days. Even miracle doctors have diseases that cannot be cured. All Dai Yuanli could do was to make Li Wenzhong's condition a little better before he died.

And the real decision of the entire Ming Dynasty is in the hands of Xungui. There can only be one directional opinion on the civilian side. They can't decide anything.

He Xi felt that this wave was stable.

The noon dynasty is much simpler than the early dynasty.

After Zhu Yuanzhang sat down, he said directly: "Let Fang close the hall." ”

A moment later, a Jinwu warrior brought Fang Guan up, and before Fang Guan went to the hall, he had already cleaned up. But it still couldn't hide his decadent look. Originally, it was pampered. Even if he is old, he is like a noble son's Fang Guan, his face is haggard and tired at the moment, but the background of this haggard and tired is firm and ruthless.

I have to say. Or is it suffering that makes people grow.

This escape from death gave Fang Guan an unimaginable growth. For Fang Guan, yesterday's self and today's self are no longer the same person.

After Fang Guan saluted.

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "What happened, you can talk about it here." ”

Fang Guan said, "Yes." Then he paused slightly, and said: "On that day, we were ordered by Lord He to go south to the South Seas, and then we parted ways, one team to the west and the other to the east, wanting to find evidence that the earth is round, that is, if we sail far enough, we can return to the same place. ”

Fang Guan's words made a series of slight noises sound below, but in fact, everyone's movements were not big. But when combined, it's huge. Many people are taken aback by this statement. If it weren't for Zhu Yuanzhang being here, he would have spoken out to criticize it a long time ago.
