Chapter 241 Expectations
Zhu Yunyi put on the court uniforms in the morning court without warning, which also made many people think a lot.
When you get to the court, many people will think of many things. A sentence or action of the superior may have some special meaning, especially now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, there is no harm in thinking more about it, and it may be simple in the heart of the emperor.
Once the emperor is a minister, the new emperor ascends the throne means that some people will be valued. Some people may lose their authority or even completely capsize. This is all possible, so you have to work hard to express yourself.
Zhu Yunyou was really not very clear about what the ministers were thinking, nor did he care about it very much, he just wanted to handle political affairs well.
This is the top priority, this is what Zhu Yunyou is more concerned about now.
After the morning court, Zhu Yunyou returned to Wuying Palace to review the memorials. He was very good at many things and was calm.
I opened a memorial at will, which was also a memorial sent by the Ministry of Works. However, this memorial was a bit unusual, mainly targeting the College of the Ministry of Works, the College of Works established by Zhu Yunye in Peking.
It’s not a bad thing, but a memorial to ask for me, a memorable piece that makes people more surprised.
Zhu Yunyou has invested a lot of resources in the Ministry of Works, whether it is manpower or financial resources. Over the years, some skilled craftsmen have not mentioned at the Ministry of Works College, but Zhu Yunyou has also found many "basic science" scholars, enriching the Ministry of Works College and forming an effective set of teaching theories.
The effect is pretty good. Zhu Yunyou was surprised by the previous transformation of the bird gun. In terms of "military to civilian", the transformation of the loom also had some results, which is also one of the reasons why the Liaodong border troops wore thick cotton coats.
And the current memorial is a proof of the more advanced firearms of the Ming Dynasty.
The stone bomb can be regarded as an early mine. It mainly relies on the gunpowder inside to explode the stone shell to kill the enemy, but the shortcomings are also obvious, it is the line of fire. When you see the enemy coming, you can estimate the time and then ignite the lead in advance. In this way, the enemy will almost explode when it arrives.
In fact, Zhu Yunyou is not a technical genius, but he has put forward many ideas, which requires some people to implement and implement.
For example, what is now made is a steel wheel fire - this kind of device can be regarded as a ignition device. As long as you step on it, the flint inside will rub against the steel wheel to create a fire, ignite the lead, and can explode accurately.
This can be considered a landmine, basically enough. But this is not enough. Since the mine has been successfully made, two or five or six or even more mines can be attached to one lead wire.
This is the mother and child thunder. As long as one of the mother and child thunder is stepped on, the others will explode continuously. If the large army encounters it, there will be great casualties.
The ‘familiar’ landmines appeared, but in fact the ‘grenade’ also exists.
This is the throwing mine, the shell is made of ceramic, and some of them have many bald thorns on it, like thorns, which can increase lethality when exploded. Such things still have a certain effect, especially when defending the city.
Zhu Yunyou was very happy to see these memorials. The Ming Dynasty itself had a certain foundation of firearms, and many of the army used firearms. Now the firearms are further increasing their power, which is enough to make Zhu Yunyou believe that the Ming army can continue to maintain combat effectiveness.
Those nomadic peoples who can't even make iron pots, and those foreign countries who are almost incompetent in smelting iron tools, must be at a disadvantage when facing the Ming Dynasty, which has begun to enter the firearm era.
Continuing to maintain such rhythm and pace, Zhu Yunyou believes that his army is better and some of his plans can be implemented.
You can't be proud and complacent, but you need to reward the meritorious ministers, and you must reward what you should reward. Zhu Yunyou thinks there is nothing wrong with this. This is also the attitude that a superior should have. You can't think that the horse will run fast without giving it to the grass.
This is good news, and it also made Zhu Yunyou, who was originally a little depressed, feel much better.
Seeing that Zhu Yunyou's expression was much clearer, Wang Chengen and others were relieved. They were frightened almost all day long, and they were worried that something big would happen. Even those who were following Zhu Yunyou's side were cautious at this time and did not dare to make mistakes.
Now that Zhu Yunyou looks much cheerful, everyone is naturally relieved, at least they don’t need to worry or be afraid.
When Zhu Yunyou went back to the East Palace directly, he knew that some things could only be understood and to make the worst plans. After all, such things are very mysterious and no one can tell the truth, so naturally he wouldn't say much.
If Zhu Yunyou is preparing here, some people will definitely be shocked when they find out. If they really reach that point, they will probably be frightened.
After all, Lao Zhu has a special identity, so his affairs are not the affairs of ordinary people, but the affairs of the Ming Dynasty. It is no exaggeration to say that Lao Zhu's affairs are the top priority of the Ming Dynasty.
Xu Miaoqing was a little surprised when she saw Zhu Yunyou come back, "Why is Your Majesty wearing court clothes?"
"I took a break from Grandpa Emperor's house last night, he asked me to wear it." Zhu Yunyou said with a smile, "Grandpa Emperor said that the court uniform was majestic and generous, and he would make him happy, so he would wear it."
Little Zhu, who was lying on the couch, ran over immediately and hugged Zhu Yunyou's legs, "Father!"
Touching Xiao Xiao Zhu's head, Zhu Yunyou smiled and coaxed the little guy, "I heard that, we've seen you."
Xiao Xiao Zhu ran away at this moment, just worried that he would be ignored. If you really want to say that this little guy misses his father too much, it is really not necessarily true. Zhu Yunyou is not that narcissistic either.
Xu Miaoqing didn't think much about it, just talked about some things about her fat son and what was happening in the East Palace.
In fact, Zhu Yunyou was not in the East Palace for only two days and one night. How much could happen? However, Xu Miaoqing was very smart. Her husband was busy with government affairs. When he returned to the East Palace, he asked him to relax and talk about some family matters.
After all, Xu Miaoqing is not at all careful, and she is often paying attention to it. For example, when Lao Zhu and Xiao Zhu were chatting, she also mentioned Empress Ma, including some about Zhu Yunyou's biological mother, "Empress Chang".
A smart queen will not make any move. Interfering in the affairs of the government is not the thought that a qualified queen should have. To handle things in the harem well and help the emperor manage his destiny, the most important thing is to educate the emperor's offspring and the peace of the harem.
As for the emperor's court, don't say more annoying things unless they are particularly important things. Let the emperor change his mind and relax. This is also something a smart queen should do.
With his wife and son by his side, Zhu Yunyou also has a pretty good sense of comfort and relaxation, and his family members are also good.
"In the spring exam, you will go to the Imperial College for a while." Zhu Yunyou lay on Xu Miaoqing's thigh and said lazily, "Many students of the Imperial College are studying in Beijing, and their families are not having a good time."
Xu Miaoqing immediately understood and said, "I have been staring at Hongcang and dare not forget the kindness of the emperor's grandmother."
Hongcang was founded by Empress Ma. There are thousands of students in the Imperial College, which are full of talents. However, some students in the Imperial College are poor. Although there are living subsidies, their wives and children live a hard life.
Empress Ma collected a sum of money and grain, set up more than 20 red warehouses, and specially stored grain to support Tai students' wives and children.
Over the years, Hongcang has been managed by Zhu Biao and Zhu Yunyou. Empress Ma is one of the people they respect the most. Her kindness loves the people as her sons, so as her descendants naturally need to maintain it.
Not to mention that the court's finances have improved a lot in recent years, even if the finances are a little worse, Lao Zhu will wave his hand. Not only because his children and grandchildren are very kind when they are doing it, but also because this is an achievement of his wife.
"I don't feel at ease with the Hongcang things over the years, and I've always held them in my hands." Zhu Yunyou laughed and said, "I was raised by the emperor's grandmother, so I naturally value these things. You are the queen now, so these things should be left to you."
Xu Miaoqing was slightly excited and continued to gently rub Zhu Yunyou's temple, "Your Majesty let go, this is my duty. I dare not be as good as the emperor's grandmother, but I must learn from the emperor's grandmother."
Zhu Yunyou squinted his eyes comfortably and said softly, "Take the prince with you and let him go to the Imperial College as well. Don't let Huang Zicheng get too close to you, and the prince will show his face. Those people can't be the prince's Mengshi!"
Zhu Yunyou does not need a benevolent emperor who speaks of benevolence, righteousness and morality. He needs a talented, wise and decisive emperor. Even if he cannot do this, he should be a qualified and successful emperor.
Thinking of many Confucian theories and thinking about the revival of Zhou rituals and so on, this is something that Zhu Yunyou would never allow. For Xiao Xiao Zhu, Zhu Yunyou allowed this kid to be naughty now and was willing to retain the little guy's innocence.
But in his heart, Zhu Yunyou still hopes that his son can become a qualified crown prince. He still has high expectations for Xiao Xiaozhu. Because in such a feudal society, the ability and character of an emperor can really determine the direction of a dynasty.
The Ming Dynasty has just begun to rise, and there is still more potential to explore in the future of the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Yunyou knew that he could not do everything well by himself, so he naturally looked forward to his successors being more successful, leading this dynasty and leading this nation to be even more glorious.
As for whether Xiao Xiao Zhu is under pressure, these things really don’t matter anymore. After all, Xiao Xiao Zhu has a different background. His current glory and wealth are naturally at the top of the pyramid because he needs to take on these responsibilities.
Rights and obligations are always complementary.
