Wuying Palace.

This is the place where Emperor Hongwu worked every day.

It's nightfall, and it's lit up as always.

in the room.

The layout is very simple, with a desk, a few chairs, and a soft collapse next to it.

There are a lot of recitals on the desk, and a red pen is placed on the side.

At this time, there is no so-called folding, the instrument of the play is called the song Shu and Tiao Chen, which is made of silk silk such as Shu brocade or Hangzhou satin, and then framed on the document written by himself.

Zhu Yuanzhang walked to the desk and said to Zhu Xiongying: "Eldest grandson, move a chair and watch next to us." ”

At this time, there were only two grandfathers and grandsons in the house, and there were no palace people to serve, so Zhu Xiongying moved a chair and sat on the edge of Zhu Yuanzhang's dragon chair.

Approaching the highest power center of the Ming Dynasty for the first time, Zhu Xiongying's heart still couldn't help but pound.

The affairs of the Ming Dynasty, large and small, were summarized here, and the emperor uniformly reviewed and issued instructions, which in turn affected the entire country.

Zhu Xiongying clenched his fists, and his breathing became slightly short.

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Zhu Xiongying, who did not hide his excitement, and was very satisfied.

He appreciated his eldest grandson's lust for power.

This is different from Zhu Biao's indifference, he remembered that once Zhu Biao also told him that his father and sons were worried that they would not be able to afford the great cause.

He was furious when he heard this, and reprimanded Zhu Biao fiercely.

Because he wants the Ming Dynasty to be passed on for thousands of generations, as a king, he should have the spirit of a king, no need to be modest, no need to hide it!

And now, in front of him, his eldest grandson has made no secret of his desires, how can this not make him happy?

"Come, let's take a look at the music!" Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile.

"Hmm."

Zhu Xiongying nodded solemnly, and then stretched out his hand to the full pile of neat notes, and took a copy from the top.

"Suck-"

Zhu Xiongying took a light breath to calm himself down, and then slowly opened the note.

This is the first time he has faced important national political events, although he used to talk with his grandfather and point out the country, but the feeling is completely different from actually participating in it.

Because in the past, it was more like ordinary people liked to talk about politics, it was none of their business, and they were just addicted.

But real participation is different, every word and deed will really affect the operation of the whole country, and a few random Zhu criticisms may affect a large number of people, or even a place.

Since ancient times, power has been tempting, and naturally there is something attractive about it.

Open the note, and the neat font comes into view.

I have to say that the writing of people in this era is really good-looking, and if you are a reader, your writing will not be bad.

Skip the previous stuff and go straight to the main text.

Zhu Xiongying was excited and began to read it softly.

"Yu Zhaoyue, the governor of Guangzhou Prefecture, is respectfully playing, reporting that Guangzhou is now in good weather and the people are happy, and the special performance is ...... into Guangzhou's specialty lychees, oranges and other things."

Zhu Xiongying was dumbfounded.

He was still a major political event, and it turned out to be just a gift.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Xiongying's expression, raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile in his eyes: "Say, how to review." ”

Zhu Xiongying looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and said helplessly: "Grandpa, these lychee oranges, are you either?" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Zhu Xiongying and said with a smile: "Now, you will treat you as an emperor, and you can approve as much as you want!" ”

came, Zhu Xiongying heard this, and his heart jumped a few times.

But soon, Zhu Xiongying calmed down, and under Zhu Yuanzhang's encouraging gaze, he picked up the ordinary and unusual pen, dipped it in cinnabar, thought about it, and wrote on the song.

"Look, it's a long way, don't send it."

Seeing Zhu Xiongying's appearance, the smile on Zhu Yuanzhang's face became even stronger.

"Is that okay?"

Zhu Xiongying looked back at Zhu Yuanzhang, who was staring at him with a smile.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and nodded: "Yes, very good, eldest grandson, your words are so well written!" ”

"When we are as old as you, we don't know a basket of big words, and then there was a decree from King Xiao Ming to us, we found that King Xiao Ming's words are also very good-looking, we just thought, when we Zhu Yuanzhang can also write like that, so we are like Li Shanchang to learn, Li Shanchang said, we will not only write on the yellow book in the future, but also write on the nine-foot monument, standing on the top of Mount Tai, illuminating the eternal years!"

Zhu Xiongying smiled: "Grandpa, you did it!" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Xiongying and said, "Eldest grandson, our expectations for you are the same." ”

"Hmm."

Zhu Xiongying nodded.

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said, "Okay, don't talk about this, continue to watch." ”

Zhu Xiongying had the first time, and the second time he was much more proficient, picked up a piece of music, spread it out and read it.

"Fujian's political envoy Sun Chengwen played carefully, and the price of rice and grain was recorded in the sunny and rainy days, and the rainfall was abundant in July and there were no locusts in the rivers, and the grain prices were stable and ......."

This is a local report on weather and food prices.

This time, Zhu Xiongying didn't need to ask Zhu Yuanzhang for instructions, just mentioned it with Zhu Pen, and wrote a reading word on the note.

Zhu Yuanzhang half lay on the chair, laughing and not speaking.

Next, Zhu Xiongying watched several pieces of music one after another.

But nothing serious.

Most of them report the daily situation of the local area, and some even report local anecdotes, such as a song that said that the abbot of Fayu Temple in Putuo Mountain passed away, and a literati named Guo Xiaosi also died some time ago.

What's more, the prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture in Henan Province reported that there was a woman in Kaifeng who was not ignorant of picking up gold.

What catch thieves, solve cases, sell filial piety hats on the street, and miscarry pregnant women......

Zhu Xiongying was speechless for a while.

This is completely different from what he imagined, and what he thought was to report on military and political affairs, or to impeach this and that.

Now it looks like a lot of them are mediocre!

Zhu Yuanzhang on the side looked at Zhu Xiongying, who frowned slightly, and said with a smile: "Eldest grandson, don't you feel very boring?" Waste of time? ”

"Hmm."

Zhu Xiongying nodded without denial.

"Eldest grandson, you're wrong!"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Xiongying with a smile and said, "Actually, there is no big deal, that is the best thing!" ”

"Moreover, don't underestimate these little things, let's understand the whole situation of our Daming through these little things."

"You see that this woman in Kaifeng Mansion is good at collecting gold, which shows that Kaifeng Mansion has good public security, good folk customs, and this pregnant woman has a miscarriage, which shows that some local officials have a vegetarian meal and have not done anything!"

"Got it?"

Zhu Yuanzhang taught earnestly.

Zhu Xiongying couldn't help but nod after hearing this: "My grandson has been taught!" ”

It was because he had a preconceived idea at the beginning, thinking that the twists and turns were a major military and political event, and he came up to point out the country and reprimand Fang Xuan.

But just as the old man said, if there is no big thing, that is a good thing.

And he also understood a truth.

That is, in this era, there is no Internet, no mobile phones, no convenient way to communicate, for the emperor, Soshu has become his network.

Through the song, he can understand the affairs of the whole country, which is the most important channel for him to communicate with his subjects.

Especially for local officials, it was very difficult to meet the emperor on the last trip to Beijing. As a result, a large number of large and small affairs throughout the year were reported through the folds, and the administration was handled in accordance with the approval of the imperial court.

At the same time, it is also the main link between the ministers and the emperor, and the emperor can see the depth of friendship between the appointed officials and the degree of loyalty to him, and whether they are intimate with the court or not.

It's like a communication network, the emperor is the leader of the group, the boss, and the others are group members.

The next note made Zhu Xiongying can't help but slightly curl the corners of his mouth.

"The minister Li Jinglong played the report, the emperor was loved, the minister was hereditary Cao Guogong, the minister read the military book for many years, and the ancients were loyal and angry, but the intelligence was shallow, too self-measured, knowing the small and planning the big, and the power was small. The minister thinks about serving the country day and night, but the merit has not been established, the family slave is a fox and a fake tiger, rampant lawless, clever robbery, encroachment on local fields, although the minister does not know, but there is a responsibility for negligence, so Er, the minister severely punishes the slave, and returns the occupied land to the court, tenants, tenants, and returns! ”

"The emperor loves the people, but the ministers can't pity the people, conniving at the slaves to oppress the people, the ministers, live up to the grace of heaven, and be ashamed of the merger!"

The words are earnest, and the attitude of confession is not bad.

But that's it......

also mentioned that he was reading military books, what do you want to do?

Zhu Xiongying smiled bitterly and shook his head.

Zhu Yuanzhang listened, and looked at Zhu Xiongying with a playful expression: "This is what you taught him to write, right?" ”

The corners of Zhu Xiongying's mouth twitched slightly: "I really can't hide anything from my grandfather's eyes." ”

"Huh-"

Zhu Yuanzhang chuckled: "You can review what you did yourself." ”

A look of a shopkeeper.

Zhu Xiongying: "......"

This is not just one of those excerpts that can be done by writing or reading words, the old man is completely handed over to himself, you must know that a few words can decide the fate of Cao Guogong Li Jinglong.

In desperation, Zhu Xiongying could only touch his chin and think for a while, then he dipped his pen in cinnabar and wrote:

"Knowing that you are afraid of death is really cautious, but shame is not enough!"

It means that it's true that you're scared to death, but it's not necessarily shameful!

"Hey! It's kind of interesting! ”

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help laughing when he saw it.

This reading and approval is ambiguous, neither saying that he wants to punish the crime, nor does he say that he should not punish the crime, but let him guess for himself.

Want to wait for Li Jinglong to see this review and approval, thinking that he Zhu Yuanzhang approved it, and he must not be scared half to death?

Because the unknown is always the most scary.

"It's been a long time, haven't you?"

Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile: "You continue to watch, let's go and let someone bring you a cup of honey!" ”

With that, Zhu Yuanzhang stood up and personally walked out of the door to explain to the eunuch.

Zhu Yuanzhang sat for a long time, and his feet were a little numb, so he didn't have the tiger style of the past, but a little faltering.

Zhu Xiongying looked at Zhu Yuanzhang's back, and her tears were almost about to stay.

In his previous life, he was an orphan, and he grew up with his grandfather when he was a child, and Zhu Yuanzhang at this moment is very much like his grandfather who accompanied him to study when he was a child.

The time is staggered, and he can't help but be in a trance.

When Zhu Yuanzhang came back, he already had a cup of warm water mixed with honey in his hand.

Zhu Xiongying hurriedly wiped the corners of his eyes, afraid that the old man would see it.

Zhu Yuanzhang put the honey in front of Zhu Xiongying and said with a smile: "Drink more honey and less tea, if you drink too much tea, it's not easy to sleep!" ”

Saying that, Zhu Yuanzhang sat down, picked up the tea next to him and took a sip, and said, "Don't be distracted, keep watching, oh yes, don't look at these green ones, look at the blue ones." ”

When Zhu Xiongying heard this, he picked out a blue one from a pile of songs, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Minister, Lan Yu recitals, the southwest victory! On the third day of the fifth month, the minister was ordered to recruit Yuelu Timur, and on the eighth day of June, the minister and Sichuan both commanded Qu Neng to launch a general attack, breaking his crowd, Yuelu Timur fled to Baixing Prefecture, and the minister sent thousands of households to the blue sea to trap Yuelu father and son, Yuelu father and son have been captured by the minister, please ask the emperor to decree, and Yuelu father and son will be executed in Beijing! In addition, the minister has surrendered his people, and the minister asked the emperor to allow the minister to increase the number of guards, recruit the local people as soldiers, and crusade against Duogan and Baiyi! ”

Lan Yu reported a great victory in the southwest, but Zhu Xiongying didn't show a look of joy after watching it.

First, all this was expected by him, and second, although Lan Yu's words were respectful in this recital, there was no doubt that he was happy with his deeds.

Sending Yuelu's father and son to Beijing to be executed is nothing more than to show his merits for Lan Yu.

And Lan Yu is not finished, and he still wants to add garrisons, recruit local people as soldiers, and crusade against Duogan and Baiyi? Isn't this just wanting to expand military merits, and when you return to Beijing, you can get a great reward and become the first general of the Ming Dynasty!

Pity......

Lan Yu doesn't understand at all, sometimes, the bigger the military merit, the better!

Just thinking about it, I saw Zhu Yuanzhang ask quietly: "Eldest grandson, tell me, how to approve?" ”

Zhu Xiongying pondered for a moment, and said slowly: "Let Lan Yu not have to take Yuelu's father and son to Beijing, behead him on the spot, and pass his head to the southwest Tusi, and there is no need to crusade against Duogan and Baiyi, let him return to the dynasty immediately!" ”

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up suddenly, and he stared at Zhu Xiongying for a while, and then smiled: "Okay, just do what our eldest grandson says!" ”

As he spoke, Zhu Yuanzhang took out another purple piece of music from the side and handed it to Zhu Xiongying: "Take a look." ”

Zhu Xiongying took a look at it, and suddenly frowned even deeper.

"Minister, Jinyi Wei Qianhu Zhai Chuan played, Lan Yu in the process of conquering Xichang, connived at the soldiers of the department to kill innocent border people, rape people's daughters, where Lan Yu garrison, the people are afraid of it like a tiger, and the soldiers and horses pass by, like a catastrophe!"

Sure enough, Lan Yu still didn't change his usual style.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the pensive Zhu Xiongying and said with a smile: "When you were your age, you were not as stable as you!" As a monarch, you have to be immovable like a mountain, and your joy and anger are not in color, and what you just disposed of is very appropriate! ”

"Grandpa is very happy, a hundred times happier than the southwest victory, you have only reviewed the music for the first time, which makes grandpa surprised and happy!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said, happy and colorful.

"Grandpa Xie Huang!"

Zhu Xiongying said with a smile: "It's the emperor's grandfather who taught him well!" ”

"Whew!"

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed when he heard this: "We didn't teach anything, it's your own foundation!" ”

Zhu Xiongying smiled: "Didn't I also give this foundation to the emperor's grandfather?" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned when he heard this, and immediately laughed again: "Stinky boy, after our sister leaves, count you to make us happy!" ”

"Okay, take a sip of honey and continue, look at one more, it's almost time for you to rest."

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and took another sip of strong tea.

Zhu Xiongying nodded, picked up a blue note and opened it.

"Minister, Jinyiwei commanded the servant Lu Lun to play, the king of Qin had many lawlessness in the fiefdom, and built a lot of construction in the palace, and the army and the people built pavilions and ponds in the palace, and tortured the palace people with the second concubine Deng for fun, in order to please the Deng family, sent people to buy pearls and cui along the coast, so that the people's families were ruined."

"The king of Qin also sent people to make the queen's costumes for the Deng family, and made the bed in the bedroom into a five-clawed dragon bed......"
