Chapter III: Studying Governance
Sun Hai smiled and reported to Zhu Yijun: "Because the emperor completed the banquet well today, after the mother found out, she was very happy, so she rewarded us with gold leaves." But we know that this is also the grace of the emperor. Therefore, those of us who came to serve the emperor discussed waiting here for the emperor, waiting to thank the emperor. ”
As Sun Hai spoke, he instructed the Wei Dynasty to serve inside: "Kowtow!" ”
Zhu Yijun knows that although he is not used to others kneeling in front of him, he can't suddenly deviate from the customs of this society, so it is easy to be misunderstood that he is not decent as an emperor, not to mention, now is not the time for his emperor to do whatever he wants.
So, Zhu Yijun accepted the gift of these people: "Get up!" ”
"Hey!"
Sun Hai stood up as he agreed.
At that time, Wei Chao also took out a small bamboo jar from his sleeve, walked up to Zhu Yijun, and said with a smile: "The emperor asked the slave and maid to find a good cricket the day before yesterday, and the slave and maid took advantage of the palace to find it, can the emperor take a look?" ”
Sun Hai saw that the Wei Dynasty was currying favor with Zhu Yijun, and he wrinkled his brows for a while, and then looked at Zhu Yijun.
Zhu Yijun's expression was indifferent, and he stretched out his hand: "Give it to me, you don't have to open it." ”
Wei Chao gave the jar to Zhu Yijun with both hands.
After Zhu Yijun took it, he entered his bedroom.
Zhu Yijun naturally didn't think there was any fun in playing with crickets.
As a person from the 21st century, the entertainment he has experienced is completely incomparable to that of this era, so playing a game like crickets simply cannot reach the threshold that makes him playful and demoralized.
Therefore, Zhu Yijun just properly disposed of the cricket, and then walked to the study and flipped through the original book.
Because Empress Dowager Li did not directly listen to the government, Zhu Yijun is not a puppet who is completely at the mercy of anything in the strict sense.
Nominally, he was also the supreme ruler of the Ming Dynasty.
Therefore, the manuscript will still be sent to him by the celebrant of ceremonies.
The so-called So-called Concert is equivalent to an official privately making suggestions to the emperor, and ordinary private individuals can talk about things that are not only within the scope of their own duties, but also about other things such as military affairs, official governance, and so on.
The title book is about the affairs that the official office is responsible for, which is equivalent to reporting to the emperor in the name of the unit.
Scripts are often referred to collectively as chapter plays.
Zhu Yijun also knows this.
However, Zhu Yijun can only look at these chapters now, and he can't review these chapters according to his own will, and he can only come with Zhang Juzheng's ticket and let the celebrant approve it.
Because once Zhu Yijun forcibly personally holds the Zhu pen to review the chapter, it is equivalent to that he, the emperor, does not trust the first assistant Zhang Juzheng, and Zhang Juzheng can only resign.
Zhu Yijun naturally didn't dare to do this, after all, Empress Dowager Li wanted Zhang Juzheng to be the first assistant, and once he offended Zhang Juzheng, it would be equivalent to offending his mother.
Therefore, Zhu Yijun can only look at it now, at most, at the Wenhua Hall tomorrow, he will ask Zhang Juzheng why he did this for some votes, that is, decisions, and then put forward his own opinions.
Although he can only take a look, Zhu Yijun still plans to take a serious look.
The reason is that he wants to see how Zhang Juzheng governs the country and how he makes decisions!
To be honest, Zhu Yijun is actually a little weak about managing such a huge empire in his heart.
Because he also served as a small head in managing people in his previous life, he naturally knows the difficulty of managing people.
Therefore, Zhu Yijun now really intends to learn from this famous physiognomy through the ages, learn how he only used the case documents, and then carried it out through thousands of civil officials and bureaucrats who are different from inside and outside, and set up a vigorous Wanli reform.
And it's been very successful.
You must know that just Zhang Juzheng's policy of clearing acres of fields, according to historical records, will clear hundreds of millions of acres of land, how much tax revenue will this increase for Daming?
This is not a small management difficulty.
Of course, it was precisely because Zhang Juzheng implemented the Wanli New Deal so well that when the civil officials who were ordered to copy his family later copied his family, they did not pay any attention to the class feelings of fellow scholars, and directly imprisoned more than 20 members of his family who starved to death, forcing his eldest son to commit suicide.
It can be seen how much Zhang Juzheng was hated by the bureaucracy later.
Zhu Yijun held the mentality of learning, looked at these chapters seriously, and at the same time took out a blank imperial note and took notes.
There are two kinds of chapters sent to the Imperial Palace, one is the chapter book that the clerical office has just received from Zuo Shunmen and the General Administration, and there is no invoice yet, that is, it is sent to the cabinet to draft the chapter, and the other is the chapter that has been drafted by the cabinet ticket.
Zhu Yijun naturally watched the chapter that had been drafted by the cabinet vote.
And when Zhu Yijun was reading the recital carefully, his Qianqing Palace deacon and eunuch Wei Chao came to Feng Bao, the celebrant of the ceremonies, after offering crickets to him.
Feng Bao was approving the tickets sent by the Emperor from the Qianqing Palace.
As the eunuch of the celebrant and the eunuch of the East Factory, Feng Bao not only controlled the power of the East Factory, but also controlled the power of the celebrant to approve the red.
But when the Wei Dynasty came to Feng Bao, Feng Bao did not see him, but met another eunuch named Zhang Dashou first.
This Zhang Dashou is also Feng Bao's confidant, and he is in charge of the most critical clerical room for communicating with the foreign dynasty.
Moreover, Zhang Dashou was personally summoned by Feng Bao.
Feng Bao put down the pen after Zhang Dashou came at this time, and said: "The emperor used to have to wake up in person from our family, and even sometimes he couldn't wake up when he shouted, and he had to pick up and shake up first, and even in the cold weather, he was willing to get up until he had to drink him in person." Why did he get up by himself today, does the emperor himself know that today is a feast, a critical day for the foreign court to show his face? ”
Zhang Dashou said with a smile: "This is all the sage of the ancestors, and he usually admonished the emperor with the principles of the sage, so that the emperor knows the etiquette and learns diligently!" ”
Feng Bao whispered because Zhang Dashou was his confidant: "It's just that this has suddenly become too sensible!" The scripture banquet is also much more serious than in the past in the Wenhua Palace, and its demeanor is also more graceful and upright! As a result, the eyes of many civil servants were red. ”
As he spoke, Feng Bao instructed Zhang Dashou: "You go and inquire, what does the person in charge of lunch say?" But are there any gossip related to our family from these civil officials? ”
"Yes!"
Zhang Dashou agreed.
"Come in!"
After Feng Bao gave this order, he let Zhang Dashou leave the celebrant eunuch, and then passed the Wei Dynasty in.
As soon as Wei Chao came in, he knelt down directly to Feng Bao: "Say hello to the old ancestor!" ”
Feng Bao didn't raise his head, but continued to wave the red pen in his hand and asked, "The emperor accepted the cricket?" ”
Wei Chao replied: "Yes, Old Ancestor! ”
Feng Bao smiled after hearing this: "That's fine." Do you remember what we told you? ”
"Remember!"
Wei Chao replied.
"Repeat!"
"Yes!"
"The ancestor said, try to make the emperor do something happy, don't worry about the displeasure of the queen mother of the two palaces, even if the son is severely punished by the ancestor, the emperor will definitely remember his son's good in the future, and he will feel guilty about his son because he can't protect his son, and he will reuse his son after the pro-government. This is the opportunity given by the ancestors to his son to win the emperor's favor in the future. ”
Wei Chao replied.
"Excellent! Let's go to the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces now, you have to take care of your mouth when the time comes, otherwise, what is waiting for you is not to be thrown out, but a coffin! ”
Feng Bao said with a smile.
Wei Chao hurriedly said: "My son understands! ”
Feng Bao left his ceremonial supervisor and went to Empress Dowager Li.
