Chapter 415 National Affairs, Family Affairs and Love Affair
After receiving the order, Xie Jin, Hu Jing and others hurriedly entered the palace, and went to the inner study room through the Jing Hui Ji Gate. The memorials handed over to the imperial review by the General Affairs Department were all sorted into categories in the inner study room. Mu En led them into a room.
In the side hall, I saw Emperor Yongle standing in the hall, flipping through some memorials. There were piles of memorials piled high on the table and on the floor next to him.
Jie Jin and others hurried forward to see him. Zhu Di pointed to the memorials and said: "Here are all the memorials in the past four years of Jianwen. In the next few days, you will come here and review them one by one. All memorials related to military, agriculture, and commerce will be reviewed."
Keep all the political ones. If you still need to use them now, or should let me know, pick up a brief summary of them, copy them down, and show them to me!"
Xie Jin and others quickly said yes.
Zhu Di looked at them and said with a smile: "In these memorials, there are many that criticize me. Let's burn them. Well, there should be some written by you in them, right?"
Xie Jin, Hu Jing, Wu Pu and other great talents all looked ashamed and speechless. Originally, they were just penmen. When Jianwen was the enemy of King Yan, they ate from Jianwen's food, and they were still at a loss for words.
Can you not work hard and cheer for it?"
Zhu Di smiled and said: "Well, the past is over. From now on, all we have to do is serve the court loyally!"
Li Guan glanced at the other people with pride, stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, in these memorials, there is absolutely no insult from the emperor. I am loyal to the emperor and have never insulted the emperor or flattered Jianwen."
When he said this, Xie Jin and others became even more uncomfortable. Unexpectedly, Zhu Di was also a little unhappy. He glanced at him coldly and said, "You were Jianwen's minister at that time. What kind of loyalty did you have if you didn't write?
What I hate are never the ministers who are loyal to Jianwen. There is nothing wrong with a minister being loyal to the emperor! What I hate are the treacherous sycophants who have ulterior motives and confuse Jianwen to destroy the legal system of our ancestors."
Li Guan didn't expect that the flattery would hit the horse's feet. His face turned red and he was speechless for a moment.
Zhu Di softened his tone and said: "Being loyal to Jianwen is a matter of course. It's nothing special. You guys don't have to worry about it. In the future, you must be loyal to me. You don't have to worry about what you have done in the past.
No need to be pretentious.”
Jie Jin and others couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. At this time, the little chamberlain came to report that the Jinyi Guards had arrived from the north and south, and Jinshen Hall was waiting for them. Jinshen Hall was the Zhengxin Hall. After Jianwen ascended the throne, he listened to Fang Xiaoru's words and changed it to
The Zhengxin Palace was now restored by Zhu Di.
After hearing this, Zhu Di waved to Xie Jin and others and walked towards Jinshen Palace. Jie Jin and others respectfully sent the emperor off. Seeing that it was still early to leave the Suo Palace, they took the time to organize the memorial.
.Those memorials are diverse. Since Zhu Yunwen began to reduce the vassal status after he ascended the throne, and Zhu Di began to suppress the emperor within a few months, quite a few of the memorials were directed at Zhu Di.
Those memorials scolded Zhu Di so harshly that many of them are still serving as officials in the court and have become Zhu Di's ministers. If Zhu Di uses this as a basis to arrest them one by one, I don't know how many ministers will suffer and be massacred.
, but now Zhu Di asked them to burn all these memorials, and several people couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. As soon as they found such memorials, they quickly marked them and put them aside for centralized destruction.
Ji Gang and Liu Yujue were waiting in the Jinshen Palace. They were old acquaintances, and now they were ministers in the same court and in the same yamen. They were also bosses and subordinates. When they met, they were really affectionate and chatted.
After a while, someone at the door sang: "The Emperor is here!"
The two quickly dusted off their robes and stood still. When they saw Zhu Di coming in, they immediately came forward to pay homage. Zhu Di waved his hands, turned to sit behind the imperial desk, and glanced at Liu Yujue with a smile. He was very familiar with Ji Gang, but Liu Yujue was the subject of the ceremony.
Zhu Di became the governor of Nanzhen only after receiving Xia Xun's recommendation. On the day of the appointment, Xia Xun led him to see him once. At that time, Zhu Di had too many things on his hands and did not bother to say a few words to him. Only then did he pay attention.
I asked him carefully about his resume and what happened after taking over Nanzhen Fu.
Then he turned to Ji Gang and said: "Ji Gang, I know that you just took office today and you haven't had time to do many things yet, but you have to cheer up and get started as soon as possible."
Ji Gang bowed and said: "Yes!"
Zhu Di said: "The matter of arresting traitors is now being done by the Ministry of Punishment. Your side has just started to be established and lacks manpower. I won't put too much burden on you, but you have to speed up. Now I have just sat down.
In the world, all civil and military officials are willing to surrender sincerely, pretend to be submissive, and do things secretly. You must pay attention to detecting illegal activities. This is the duty of the Jin Yiwei.
Also, how was the life of the people in the capital at the beginning of the war? How much were the prices of daily necessities such as rice, flour, oil, salt, etc., and were they higher or lower than during the Hongwu period? Also, I heard that after the war, treasure banknotes
It is becoming increasingly difficult to circulate among the people, and some people have illegally traded gold and silver. You have to ask me how much the traditional banknotes are worth now, and what are the reasons why people are reluctant to use them. These are all things I urgently need to know."
I kept the Ji Gang in mind one by one and kept saying yes.
Zhu Di then said to Liu Yujue: "Nanzhen is responsible for the law and discipline of our army. This is too easy. Duke Fu Guo suggested to me that the firearms craftsmen and firearms workshops should be handed over to Nanzhen for supervision. These,
Originally, it was a matter between the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War, but with too many mothers-in-law, the daughter-in-law would inevitably be angry. The two yamen were at odds with each other, which hindered the research and development of our Daming firearms. And this firearm should be classified as a secret of the imperial court, and there are many yamen under its management.
, there is no talk of confidentiality.
I have been in Jingnan for four years, and I am well aware of the power of firearms. I plan to build another elite Beijing camp 'Shenji Camp' purely focused on firearms as soon as possible in addition to the Fifth Army Camp and the Three Thousand Battalion. This requires a large number of high-quality, lethal weapons.
To create more powerful firearms, you must register firearms craftsmen as soon as possible, take over the firearms workshops in the craftsmanship camp, formulate reward and punishment measures, and encourage craftsmen to produce firearms of better quality.
As a military discipline inspector, do not be careless."
Liu Yujue quickly bowed and said: "I obey your order."
Zhu Di knew that the secret agent Fei Long was under the supervision of Nan Zhenfu in order to facilitate his disappearance. He did not even tell his close confidant Ji Gang about this matter. However, in order to cooperate with Xia Xun, Liu Yujue was one of the insiders, so if he
He glanced at Liu Yujue meaningfully, slowly stroked his beard, and said: "You have just taken over Nanzhen, and your qualifications are relatively junior. Whether you are taking over the craftsmanship, or you need to cooperate with the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of War on some matters, I'm afraid
It’s not easy. If you encounter any difficulties, go to Duke Fu and ask him to help you.”
This provided Xia Xun with an upright and fair name to contact Nanzhen Fusi. Liu Yujue understood this and quickly thanked him again.
Ji Gang looked at Liu Yujue, then thought about Yang Xu, and suddenly realized all the past, and suddenly had a dream. When they were talking, laughing and drinking by the Daming Lake, who would have thought that so many people would now be on top of the Imperial Palace?
However, Yang Xu still climbed high, becoming the Duke of the country, hereditary!
When can I, Ji Gang, have such a day?
For a moment, Ji Gang was filled with envy.

"Working all day just to be hungry, I have to eat and think about clothes. I put down the silk clothes to wear, but I don’t think the house is low when I raise my head. I build tall buildings and mansions, but there are few beautiful wives in front of my bed. I have married all the beautiful wives and concubines, and
I was worried that I would have no horse to ride when I went out. I spent my money to buy a high-headed horse, and the horses would follow less. The family recruited dozens of people, but they were bullied by others because they were rich but not powerful. When he got to the county magistrate, he said that he was a low-ranking official and his position was low.
As soon as he climbed to the old position in the pavilion, he thought about ascending to the throne every day. One day, when he was sitting in the south, he also thought about the gods coming to play chess. Dong Bin played chess with him and asked where was the ladder to heaven. Before he sat down on the ladder to heaven, the king of hell dealt the cards.
Ghosts come to urge you. If you don’t reach this limit, going up to heaven is still too low..."
Xia Xun silently recited the poem "Ten Insufficiencies" written by Zhu Zaiyu, the sixth grandson of Zhu Di, a famous jurist, historian, mathematician, artist, and scientist, without squinting.
If you glance sideways, you can see a pair of affectionate eyes, which is too much to bear.
He read this poem to warn himself not to be greedy, otherwise, as the Eunuch Liu in the movie Swordsman said: "You will behead!"
A grand opera was being sung on the stage, and next to him was Prince Consort Wang Ning. Across a rosewood coffee table, over there was Princess Huaiqing. Next to Princess Huaiqing was the little princess Xu Ming'er.
The little princess now lives in the Prince Consort's Mansion in Huaiqing.
Private placement? That’s crazy!
In this day and age, you are going to house a little girl who has just come of age and is suitable for marriage. Well, you are the Duke of the country. Don’t worry, you can house a little girl. It’s ten or eight, as long as you can afford it.
, but... you also have to look at the identity of the other party. Even if you are the Duke of the country, can you arrange the whereabouts of a princess of marriageable age from another family? And she is also a very powerful royal relative? I can’t figure it out.
ah.
Therefore, Xia Xun thought about it and thought of Huaiqing's consort, a fair-weather friend.
However, Huaiqing's consort and the princess do not live together. The princess lives in the Tenth Prince's Mansion. When she leaves the palace and returns to the Princess' Mansion to reunite with her husband, it is controlled by the eunuchs and female officials in the palace. Even though she is a princess,
Even those with golden branches and jade leaves do not have that kind of freedom. Therefore, there is only a prince-in-law in the princess's house, not a princess. Wang Ning did not dare to agree to send the young princess to the bachelor's prince-in-law's house.
So, Xia Xun found the palace again. Now the eunuchs in charge of the palace, Zheng He, Mu En, Gou'er and several others, either had friendship with him or were close servants of the emperor. They knew him very well. Who could have such a face?
Don't want to sell it to him? Besides, this is for the emperor's sister-in-law, so the eldest eunuch ordered to go down. The female officials in charge were so stupid that they quickly sent Princess Huaiqing out. Not to mention staying for a few days, not even half a year.
I dare to say that I will take the princess back.
Naturally, both Princess Huaiqing and the Prince Consort were very happy.
Xia Xun sent the young princess to the Prince Consort's Mansion in Huaiqing because he actually wanted to repair the relationship between the two. When Xia Xun rescued Prince Yan and the two princes Gao Xu and Gao Sui, he took advantage of Huaiqing's Prince Consort Wang Ning.
Ning was very upset by Zhu Yunwen for this. Although after Zhu Di came to the country, he was granted the title of "Fellow Heavenly Assistant" and "loyal military minister".
You compensated him, but that doesn't mean that he has to be grateful to you, Yang Xu.
Xia Xun cleverly used the princess's public relations to not only repair the relationship with Wang Ning, but after a few days of dating, the two had become as good as honey. However, Xia Xun found that the little princess also changed quickly. Once, she
She is an innocent, lively and lovely little girl. As she grows older, the sudden changes in her family make her grow up, worry more, and become quieter. Her new love makes her transform again.
,Mature.
After not seeing each other for a few days, Xia Xun discovered that the little princess had undergone earth-shaking changes. Now she had transformed into an elegant and quiet lady. But...
Xia Xun looked at her from the corner of his eyes with fear. That look in his eyes reminded a resentful little lady of her youth, she couldn't afford to be hurt!
