Chapter 607 Incentive
Zhu Yunyong is a good emperor. Maybe not everyone will agree with this, but most people should agree with this.
For Zhu Yunyong, he has a lot of things to do now, and many things also need to be developed better.
During the reign of Emperor Xianzong of the Ming Dynasty, Liu Daxia, a charioteer and doctor, destroyed the information on Zheng He's voyages to the West, saying, "Thousands of dollars were spent on the voyages to the West with three guarantees, and tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians died. What's the use of getting the treasures? Even if the old files are still there, they should be regarded as
Destroyed, why are you still asking?'
This is a theory, and some people do not agree with it, because the Ming Dynasty law strictly prohibits the destruction of official documents. Historically, Liu Daxia only hid the Annan Conquest archives and did not record the destruction of his Western expedition archives.
But Zhu Yunyong needs to be vigilant. Although he can change many of Lao Zhu's eternal strategies on his own, there are some things that must not be changed. In this matter, Zhu Yunyong also has serious double standards, and he must have double standards.
For example, the throne of the Ming Dynasty must be established by a direct descendant. This is an eternal policy that must be followed and cannot be changed.
For example, Zhu Yunyong now received a secret report that his precious son Xiao Xiaozhu was whipping the magistrate of Yingtian Mansion in Yingtian Mansion. Zhu Yunyong just nodded slightly. He seemed to have no intention of punishing Xiao Zhu.
Not only would he not punish Xiao Xiaozhu, but he would also take off his position as the magistrate of Yingtian Prefecture, and the censor from the Supervisory Office would also be implicated.
According to the provisions of Lao Zhu's ancestral injunctions, no matter whether the Crown Prince is traveling far away or near the capital, no matter how big or small the fault is, he will not send anyone to issue an edict to punish him, but will only call him back to listen to the emperor's father's instructions.
Lao Zhu was naturally suspected of being seriously ill, but later generations were deceived and things like Fusu happened. Many things like falsely spreading imperial edicts and forcing the prince to be killed had never happened before.
This time, Xiao Zhu whipped the prefect in front of the Yamen of Yingtian Prefecture simply because the prefect of Yingtian Prefecture was so courageous that he dared to stop the people from beating the Dengwen drum. This is simply not taking Lao Zhu and Xiao Zhu seriously.
, How long did it take for Lao Zhu to set up the Dengwen Drum?
During Lao Zhu's time, no officials dared to do this. In fact, there were officials who dared to block people's appeals, and the consequences were naturally very miserable. But now Zhu Yunyong has given some officials a relatively relaxed environment, and some people want to
He kicked his nose and hit his face.
Such things are absolutely not allowed. Zhu Yunyong will value civil servants and support the civil servant group. However, Zhu Yunyong has always wanted to restrict civil servants, so that the civil servant group's expectation of "ruling the world with the scholar-bureaucrats" is just a luxury.
It's really hard to say what will happen in the future, but what Zhu Yunyong must continue to work hard on is to formulate some rules to limit the rapid development of the civil service group. This is what he should do.
Zhu Yunyong didn't care much about casually dismissing a few officials. This was probably because such things were routine for Zhu Yunyong. This was the power of an emperor and the responsibility of the emperor.
As for Little Zhu's whipping of officials, there may be some officials impeached during tomorrow's morning court, but this is nothing to worry about.
Instead of thinking about impeaching the prince, those officials should think about how to excuse him. If Emperor Yingzhi gets angry, it will not be easy to deal with.
Zhu Yunyong thought about it carefully. He didn't know whether Liu Daxia would go to the temple in the future, but it did not affect Zhu Yunyong's suspicion that officials like Liu Daxia would appear. Liu Daxia might be a good official, and he did have political achievements, but he just relied on his own knowledge to go there.
Hiding some information, etc., is obviously not a good thing.
While Zhu Yunyong was still thinking about something, Wang Chengen whispered, "Your Majesty, Master Yan is waiting outside."
Zhu Yunyong immediately couldn't help having a headache and said angrily, "What is he doing here again? We shouldn't give him a thought. His affairs in the Ministry of Works haven't been sorted out yet, and the Ministry of Households doesn't have enough trouble for him. This is Are you going to pester us?!"
Wang Chengen didn't say anything. Although he was the emperor's predecessor and had always been trusted by the emperor. But after all, he was just a eunuch. Compared with Yan Zhenzhi, an important official in the court, there was still some gap.
Zhu Yunyong waved his hand and asked, "What did he say? Why did he come to see us?"
Wang Chengen grimaced and said, "Your Majesty, how can I dare to ask this question? What Yan Shangshu requested is probably a major matter for the court."
There is no problem in saying so. In order to prevent eunuchs from interfering in politics, Lao Zhu made a lot of arrangements. Even though Wang Chengen is now the eunuch in charge of the ceremony, he does not have much real power, and there is no such thing as an 'internal minister'.
In Lao Zhu's view, the responsibilities of the ceremonial supervisors can be trivial matters in life, and other political tasks should not be entrusted to them too much. Lao Zhu also looked down on eunuchs. He felt that most eunuch institutions had sinister intentions. people.
"Ministers are not allowed to interfere in political affairs, and offenders will be killed." This iron sign hanging on the palace gate is the best warning to the eunuchs. In fact, Wang Cheng'en was half blind, and Lao Zhu did not allow the eunuchs to read and read.
Zhu Yunyong could probably guess what Yan Zhenzhi was thinking. In fact, not only Zhu Yunyong could guess it, but Wang Chengen had just pretended to be confused. The thoughts of the Minister of Industry, Sima Zhao, were known to everyone. .
But even if he knows Yan Zhenzhi's thoughts and ideas, Zhu Yunyong still needs to summon Yan Zhenzhi, and what needs to be done is still done.
After all, Yan Zhenzhi didn't come to chat with Zhu Yunyong for nothing. There must be something going on, and it can be regarded as a real national event.
When he saw Zhu Yunyong, Yan Zhenzhi immediately knelt down and said, "I, Yan Zhenzhi, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, pay my respects to His Majesty the Emperor."
Zhu Yunyong raised his hand and said with a smile, "Stay flat, this is not a morning court, so there is no need to be polite."
Yan Zhenzhi was helpless. His real name was Yan Zimin, and his nickname was Zhenzhi. But he was appreciated by Lao Zhu, who often called Yan Zhenzhi by his nickname. This was an honor, so Yan Zhenzhi changed his name. In addition, Emperor Yingshi Yan Zhen couldn't do anything without changing his name.
Zhu Yunyong looked at Yan Zhenzhi and said with a smile, "But it's still about the Yellow River? Zhenzhi, you should also know that this matter is not a trivial matter. We need to make a careful plan here. If we really want to control the Yellow River, we will mobilize the people to fear It’s more than two hundred thousand.”
Yan Zhenzhi's eyes lit up. Although the emperor seemed to be perfunctory, this also set the tone for this matter. This requires 200,000 people. This is definitely a huge project. This is not a small repair. Made up.
Seeing Yan Zhenzhi's somewhat excited look, Zhu Yunyong said with a smile, "Many people outside also say that we are overjoyed with great achievements and greedy for greatness and seek perfection. I am too lazy to say more about this. Since our Ming Dynasty wants to control the Yellow River, we should control it. Zhen Zhi, the money and food we have raised now are not enough for the people, maybe you understand what we mean?"
Yan Zhenzhi stood up quickly and said even more solemnly and excitedly, "Back to Your Majesty, I can understand your Majesty's painstaking efforts. Managing the river is a major event, and everyone in the imperial court must plan and prepare carefully."
Zhu Yunzheng nodded with a smile. He just meant that, "Since Zhen Zhi understands these, we don't plan to simply sewn it. This Yellow River entering the sea, we have to clarify.
Set down. ""
Suddenly, Yan Zhen felt that he seemed to be underestimated by the Emperor Yingshi. The emperor's governance of the Yellow River was obviously a larger project.
The frequent diversion of the Yellow River has been "not restricted" since the end of the Song Dynasty, and there will always be some small changes in the river. Now the big dyke has not happened, but the small dharma still exists.
And now, the Emperor's demand is higher. This is to completely live the unrestrained Yellow River to live.
And manpower.
200,000 people, millions of silver, this is not enough, it is not enough, this is not a good thing that can be done overnight.
Looking at Yan Zhenzhi, Zhu Yunzheng explained to say, "Some things are not easy to put on the court now, and now it is necessary to cause a noisy.
Chao Wenwu recognized these things, but this is not very good, Zhen Zhi should be considerate of us. "
Yan Zhenzhi naturally understands that it is said that Emperor Hongwu is overbearing, and no one can change what Emperor Hongwu decides. It only needs to listen to the order of the Manchu. However, Yan Zhenzhi also understands that the Emperor Hongwu is not concerned about cultural and military.
The feelings of the hundred officials.
Even the Emperor Hongwu is like this, and the emperor of Yingshi naturally should ‘respect cultural and military officials’, even if it is just a superficial respect.
If the matter of governing the Yellow River is now discussed in Chaotang, it will inevitably cause a stir, and there will be various voices.
In fact, there are many news these days, but the emperor did not admit it, and consciously avoided these things in the court, so even if many people were guessing in private, it could only be guessed in private.
Zhu Yunzheng wanted to make a hammer. Only the preparations of the early stage were more sufficient, so when these things were discussed on the court, it was the preparation week, that is, a hammer.
The preparations in the early stage are more fully prepared, and you can also put a lot of time and energy on work, instead of spending more energy to spend on the hall. This is Zhu Yunzhang's true thoughts and thoughts.
Zhu Yunzheng looked at Yan Zhenzhi and said, "How many people need, how much money is needed, how to strengthen the river embankment, how to determine the entrance of the sea, you have to think of these things.
Let's have a certain answer, this matter should not be said at will. "
Yan Zhen kneeled straight, and he headed heavily.
Zhu Yunzheng nodded with a smile and said, "Zhen Zhi, how can we evaluate in history books in the future, it is difficult to say. But I remember it. If the river is cured, you can leave the name of the history.
The country and the people, the legacy of the world! "
Yan Zhenzhi had such a mood. He can say that he is extremely man. From a local gang and a long grain, he has become the book of the Ministry of Industry of the Daming Dynasty.
Then, then
He had previously proposed to control the Yellow River, and it was indeed because he wanted to become a famous official and an able minister in governing the world. But this was not because Yan Zhenzhi had some small thoughts and wanted to do a big thing in his office, a person who could truly make history.
It's a big deal to leave your name.
In this way, maybe everyone will stop talking about his origins as not being an orthodox scholar, and maybe the civil servants will be better able to accept him.
In fact, compared to many of his colleagues in the court, Yan Zhenzhi sometimes felt a little inferior. Although heroes do not care about their origins, Yan Zhenzhi was somewhat out of place in the literary and administrative system. He was not a 'scholar' recognized by civil servants.
Even in the early days of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, or even further back when Emperor Hongwu was conquering the world, Li Shanchang beside him had no fame, but he was indeed an orthodox scholar. And Liu Bowen was a Jinshi in the Yuan Dynasty, which is an out-and-out achievement.
Of fame.
Especially since the Ming Dynasty was founded thirty years ago, and several imperial examinations have made the Ming Dynasty full of orthodox scholars, it is basically impossible to replicate Yan Zhenzhi's background and experience.
Zhu Yunyong actually didn't care how excited Yan Zhenzhi was or what kind of ambition he had.
As long as Yan Zhenzhi can do something well, Zhu Yunyong will be very satisfied. Putting aside Yan Zhenzhi's previous achievements, if Yan Zhenzhi can really manage the Yellow River, Zhu Yunyong will definitely be willing to give up various rewards.
At that time, it was possible to become a marquis. Although it seemed that Yan Zhenzhi did not lead troops to fight and had no military merits. He only managed the Yellow River, which was actually greater than many military achievements.
No, this is breaking some of Lao Zhu's rules. The most important thing is that it is likely to be a bad start.
There is no doubt that the credit for regulating the Yellow River is great. But if some civil servants have some credit in the future, they may be able to find theoretical basis. Even if it is not as good as Yan Zhenzhi's credit, they can still brag about it.
If by that time, Zhu Yunyong had finally managed to restrict the treatment of the clan, and he and Lao Zhu had finally managed to reduce some honors. Maybe by then, the various honors in the Ming Dynasty would have exploded.
Sure enough, as an emperor, you still can't make decisions based on your forehead. You still need to think twice before making many decisions and consider the long term.
Let's continue reviewing the memorial. The matter of regulating the Yellow River is very important, but there are other things that need to be dealt with at the moment, and we cannot delay it.
While Zhu Yunyong was reviewing the memorial, Wang Chengen, who was waiting at the side, gently arrived at the entrance of the palace. After hearing a report from a young eunuch, he immediately did not dare to delay any longer. Something big happened.
Gently coming to Zhu Yunyong, Wang Chengen said, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness is asking for an audience outside the palace."
Zhu Yunyong immediately became happy and quite happy, "Our prince, he has grown up, and he still accepts gifts. He is better than us. Our old Zhu family has worked hard for four generations, and finally we are becoming more and more disciplined.
."
There is a certain truth in the saying that only one noble can be born in three generations. Lao Zhu was born in Nishan, so he seems to have a lot of rules, but in many cases he cannot change his mind and refuses to accept gifts.
Da Zhu and Xiao Zhu seem to be abiding by the rules, but that is also relative. The main reason is that Lao Zhu is too partial. Even though they have been perfecting the etiquette system over the years, they are still a little unruly at times. And now, Xiao Zhu is a bit unruly.
Zhu Yunyong's performance made Zhu Yunyong happy, and it became clear to him!
