Chapter 121: Tips for Reviewing Memorials(1/2)
Daming Palace, Jinshen Hall.
"Have they all been sent over?"
"Replying to Your Majesty, I have sent them all. I think they should have arrived by now."
...
"Dongjia, Dongjia."
Zhu Ying opened his eyes immediately. Although he had spent a long time in the capital's leisurely life, the vigilance engraved in his bones over the past ten years had become an instinct.
"Uncle Zhang, something happened."
Zhu Ying looked outside and saw that Uncle Zhang was standing beside her bed before dawn, so she asked in a deep voice.
Although he has some doubts, there is no danger to him in the capital at present.
"My boss, there are some royal guards here." Uncle Zhang said helplessly.
Uncle Zhang naturally knew something about his employer's identity, and the grand manner in which the old man came over almost explained everything.
Before dawn today, there was a knock on the door, and Uncle Zhang hurried over to check.
It turned out that several Jin Yiwei were visiting, saying they wanted to see their boss.
"Jinyiwei, what are they doing here?" Zhu Ying asked subconsciously.
"My boss, I don't know. I can't tell until I see you. But I think they brought a big wooden box with them. It should be a gift."
Uncle Zhang recalled it and then said.
"What to give? What can the old man give me so early?"
Zhu Ying was a little depressed, but he didn't have the habit of staying in bed. He got up to change clothes and walked outside.
In the courtyard, three guards in royal robes were waiting.
"Master Zhu."
Seeing Zhu Ying coming, he quickly clasped his fists and bowed.
After Jin Yiwei delivered the things, he left directly.
Zhu Ying was not in a hurry to open the box. He first took it to the study room and then opened it.
"Good guy."
After Zhu Ying opened the box and looked at the dozens of memorials stacked inside, she was instantly confused.
What does this mean, asking me to get up early in the morning to review the memorial?
I looked at the still dark sky. It was pitch black. It must be five o'clock in the morning.
.......
When Zhu Yuanzhang was in the Jinshen Hall, he couldn't help laughing when he heard Liu He's answer.
"My eldest grandson is too lazy. From today on, he should share some of the work for me."
"You have to learn to adapt. What if you become emperor in the future, as the grandson himself said, what will you do if you don't go to court for several months?"
"It's a good thing to get familiar with it as early as possible."
Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile, and then ordered Liu He again: "Liu He."
"I'm here."
"In the future, the memorials sent from the palace will not be sent to us first, but to the eldest grandson. After the eldest grandson has finished reviewing them, they will be sent to us for review."
"I obey the decree."
After Zhu Yuanzhang finished explaining, he picked up a historical record and began to read it. What he was reading was the historical record of the Qin Dynasty.
Zhu Yuanzhang became emperor for the first time, and he conquered Jiangshang by himself.
He had no experience before, and no one came to teach him how to be an emperor.
Fighting a war and governing a country are two completely different concepts, so Zhu Yuanzhang could only cross the river by feeling the stones.
Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, what Zhu Yuanzhang has seen most is some of the rules and regulations of the past dynasties, as well as regulations.
Next to Zhu Yuanzhang's writing desk, there is a piece of white paper. When he sees something subtle, he will use the white paper to remember it.
Remove the dregs and extract the essence. This is how the Ming Dynasty's system came about.
Especially since the last time we talked about the Japanese country, Zhu Yuanzhang asked the eunuch to sort out books related to the Japanese country and began to understand some of the situation in the Japanese country.
Know thyself, ever-victorious.
Now that we have decided on Japan, we must make preparations.
Never fight an unprepared battle. Before every battle, Zhu Yuanzhang would try his best to collect information about his opponents and then ponder countermeasures in his mind.
Just when Zhu Yuanzhang was watching with gusto.
Liu He came over and reported: "Your Majesty, Your Highness Yuwen is asking for an audience."
When he was interrupted, Zhu Yuanzhang frowned slightly, but when he heard Zhu Yunwen asked to see him, he felt a little strange and said: "Let him in."
Zhu Yunwen, who was at the entrance of the Jinshen Palace, received a notification from the eunuch and entered quickly.
Even if he is now regarded as the grandson, as the grandson of the emperor, he still needs permission if he wants to meet the emperor's grandpa.
"Grandpa Huang."
Upon entering the door, Zhu Yunwen bowed and said hello.
Seeing Zhu Yunwen, Zhu Yuanzhang put down the book in his hand and said with a smile: "The morning court is about to begin. I came to see you at this time, but I have something to say. There is still something I don't understand."
Zhu Yunwen bowed his hands and said: "My grandson would like to report to the emperor that rumors about Xiaoling Mausoleum have been circulating everywhere in the palace recently."
"Xiaoling Mausoleum is a royal mausoleum, but it has been discussed wantonly. Therefore, my grandson came here to report it and wanted to ask the emperor for instructions."
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, his eyes flashed.
Today's Zhu Yunwen made him a little impressed. If it weren't for Liu He's report yesterday, Zhu Yuanzhang would really think that this was what Zhu Yunwen was thinking in his heart.
But Zhu Yunwen lowered his head and his eyes were flashing. He knew that Grandpa Huang must have known what he said last night, but he still told it like this.
Obviously just wanted to find out.
"Don't worry about the rumors about Xiaoling. We know it in our hearts. You just have to study hard."
Zhu Yuanzhang said casually.
Building momentum for Da Sun will definitely get better and better.
Zhu Yuanzhang was actually aware of his grandson Yunwen's thoughts, but he didn't care. He would know about it sooner or later.
It’s also good to be more mentally prepared.
When Zhu Yunwen heard this, he was naturally sure in his heart. It seemed that his guess was correct.
After a few words of encouragement, Zhu Yuanzhang asked Zhu Yunwen to retreat and prepare for the morning court meeting.
"Jiang Wei, remember to tell your eldest grandson that we will see the memorials sent to him this afternoon."
"I obey the decree."
........
In the yard, after Zhu Ying got the memorial, she didn't hesitate and started organizing it directly.
I counted them casually.
Good guy, there are eighty-two books in total. Zhu Ying was speechless. How long will it take to see this?
After laying out the memorial, Zhu Ying sat upright. After all, this was his first time reading the memorial, so it had to be more grand.
However, when he read the first memorial, his head suddenly became heavy.
It is all written in classical Chinese.
It made him extremely uncomfortable, so he briefly read it.
Boy, this is at least a few thousand words bigger.
What can we do? We can only bite the bullet and watch.
As he continued to read until the end, Zhu Ying roughly understood that the content of this memorial was exactly the strategy that Zhu Ying had proposed and was currently implementing, the work-for-relief proposal.
What made Zhu Ying feel the most helpless was that of the nearly five thousand words, four thousand of them were almost nonsense, and the last thousand words probably had some meaning.
Zhu Ying read the suggestions carefully and became even more speechless.
To put it simply, what this local official means is that His Majesty's plan is very good, very good, and has allowed many people to survive.
However, this will easily increase the influence of the squire, so it is recommended to strengthen supervision.
"Old man, these are the memorials you read every day?"
Zhu Ying couldn't help but started to complain, this ancient emperor was simply not a human being.
Zhu Ying quickly read through the basics again, and they were basically related to work-for-relief. Obviously, these memorials were specially selected by Zhu Yuanzhang.
To be continued...
