"Well, now that you are interested, just let Huang Jin take me around. You can do your job." Zhu Houcong nodded. He had already said that he was not here to pick on a few people. If he really wanted to,
You can totally watch it secretly.
"Nuo." Yan Song leaned forward slightly. He was not afraid of the shadows as he was upright. He had nothing to fear. Moreover, it was just His Majesty's whim that he wanted to take a look. These are normal things. If Your Majesty doesn't care at all, then what about his dishes?
Think about it. After all, this world still belongs to Your Majesty. If Your Majesty doesn't care about it himself, how can you expect others to care about it?
"By the way, don't forget. I'll take you out to play in two days." Zhu Houcong patted Yan Song on the shoulder. This child was suffering. He had been here for several months and was exhausted.
"No." What else could Yan Song say? It doesn't matter to him. It doesn't matter if he doesn't go out. At least it's safe. He will live here and wait until all the dust has settled before going out. By then, all those who oppose him will be punished. He
Wherever you want to go.
"Ahem." Lu Fang coughed lightly and said, "Hey, hey, hey, don't plot loudly here, just pretend I don't exist."
One is the chief minister of the court, and the other is the current emperor. If you two sneak away, forget it, and you are conspiring loudly in front of me. Should I pretend to know or pretend not to know?
"Haha, I won't say any more. My chief internal officer will be angry soon. You guys are busy." Zhu Houcong waved his hand and went in to read the memorial. There is a lot of stuff during this time, and I'm afraid it will take a whole day to read it.
Already.
Lu Fang looked at Yan Song helplessly. It was really annoying to have such a majesty. His majesty was good at everything, but he ran out without knowing when. It was quite helpless.
What can Yan Song say? He can only smile in return. You can't stop me. How can you still let me go?
Lu Fang also knew that he couldn't count on Yan Song. In fact, it didn't matter. If something happened to His Majesty, even if Yan Song was still there, he wouldn't be able to control the situation. In other words, even if Yan Song was gone, it wouldn't have a big impact. It didn't matter. The two of them
People can go wherever they want.
The only thing that made Lu Fang feel at ease was that the capital was relatively safe. Although the safety was limited, what else could he do now? There was no way, and he couldn't stop it. He could only pray silently in his heart.
Zhu Houcong had a headache looking at the pile of memorials. To be honest, he really didn't want to read them. He had also read these memorials. They were not concise and concise words. He just walked around with you and asked for a while.
How can I put it, this is called being sober, but this will add a lot of workload out of thin air. Zhu Houcong is really annoyed. If he had a choice, he would definitely be too lazy to come.
It's useless to say more. After Zhu Houcong found a seat and sat down, he started to read. If he really calmed down, he could actually read very quickly. Before he knew it, the day passed. He was immersed in work and time passed by.
It was quite fast. If Zhu Houcong calmed down and dealt with state affairs, he would definitely be much faster than Yan Song and others. It's a pity that everyone has his own ambitions.
His purpose is to pass on his thoughts and ideas. As for other things, he doesn't really want to worry about this, that is, to deeply implement his ideas. When the concept of reform has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, the country
Now that he's on the right track, he can retire with success.
Of course, he also needs to find a suitable successor for this country who can continue his will. This is very important. If the successor cannot be selected well, all efforts will be nonsense. If nothing else, just say Yongzheng, pick and choose, and finally Qian Xiaosi also overturned all his reform measures, and he was truly a filial son.
Zhu Houcong has no idea yet, and he doesn't want to have children, so he just takes it one step at a time. If it doesn't work, he can just retire and re-establish the prime minister system. There is no need to change the emperor.
In fact, they all mean bad, just see how it works.
"Master, it's time for dinner." Huang Jin bowed slightly and ate as much as he could.
"Oh? Is it time to eat? You can take Yan Song and the others to eat. I'm not hungry." Zhu Houcong waved his hand. There was indeed a lot of food. After seeing too much, he felt that it was not easy for Lu Fang and the others.
Not only are there many things, but they are also trivial. Some people just look for trouble. They talk about important things in a roundabout way and talk a lot of nonsense, and unimportant things talk about a lot of nonsense.
There are also those greeting posts, which roughly mean: "Has Your Majesty eaten, is your health okay, when can I go back," or "Your Majesty, do you think I can be promoted?"
Although the writing is very subtle, most of it is your core meaning. If Zhu Houcong reads these things every day, he will feel like his brain is going to explode. This is simply not what humans do. How can there be a diligent emperor? , can he stand being bombarded with such information every day?
"Master, you have to eat. Master Yan and his friends have also prepared their meals. Let's eat some together." How can you not eat? Although I know that His Majesty doesn't eat much, as long as Huang Jin catches him, the food will definitely be You have to eat something, but you can't do it without eating. People are like iron rice and steel. No matter how skilled you are, you still have to eat.
Huang Jin felt that his appetite had increased greatly recently and he had to eat a lot of food every day. Logically speaking, His Majesty was much more capable than him, but he often skipped meals. To be honest, he found it hard to explain.
"Okay, if you don't want to eat, you won't eat. I don't have any appetite. You can go down." Zhu Houcong was already in a state of eating or not eating. Now he was about to finish reading these memorials and was too lazy to eat.
Huang Jin couldn't say anything, so he could only ask the people below to bring some pastries over, so that if His Majesty is hungry, he can eat a little.
It was not until late at night that Zhu Houcong finished reading these things. Zhu Houcong could only sigh with emotion: The revolution has not yet succeeded, and comrades still need to work hard.
It may be slightly better near the capital. After all, it is at the center of the reform, and Zhu Houcong is also watching closely. If there is any trouble, the people in the East Factory will already open the door to check the water meter. After all, this is their home. If the home is not guarded, Okay, let’s talk about external expansion.
But it is true that the control of the outside world is not enough. This is not the first time that Zhu Houcong lamented that China has a vast land and abundant resources. This is an advantage of China, but it is also a disadvantage. Although the central government has nominal jurisdiction over the local areas, China is really too big.
If the local government is really acting against the will, there is actually nothing you can do about it. This is probably the situation now. The court's control over the local government is extremely weak, and the poorer and richer the place, the more so.
Basically, all policies can only radiate to the capital and surrounding areas, and it is really difficult to control further places. This is one of the reasons why Zhu Houcong did not rush to implement the reforms.
He does not have enough manpower to promote this matter. No matter how good the above policy is, what can be done if no one implements it? There is also the so-called bad land and poor water where unruly people come from. This is not just talk. In some places, there is no law.
He only recognizes the so-called folk customs and the so-called clan rules and family laws in his own place.
These are all things Zhu Houcong wants to outlaw. If these things are not outlawed, there is no way to thoroughly promote reform.
To ban these things, first of all, he must have enough manpower, and then each province and county must have enough troops. As long as you disobey, I will have the ability to impose sanctions on you immediately. This is called the wrath of thunder.
Otherwise, the army is all in the capital, and there is simply not enough control over the lower levels. After all, there is still a shortage of personnel. If Zhu Houcong is given enough officers, there will be no problem in recruiting hundreds of thousands of troops. It will be easier to carry out reforms if they are directly sent out.
The only thing that makes Zhu Houcong more gratified is that so far, everything is going relatively smoothly, and the journey is relatively safe. It may also be a matter of adaptability, but in this capital city, it is too difficult to shake his authority.
.
So some guys have learned to be smart, and even voluntarily gave up the center of their rights. They could do whatever Zhu Houcon did. Maybe they had some other ideas. After all, he was the only one who wanted to do this. What about his descendants, not all emperors?
Everyone wants reform, and they are waiting for reforms to expose problems.
Zhu Houcong was not in a hurry. It had only been a year and he still had a long time. He originally gave the throne about a hundred years. In a hundred years, the sea has turned into a wasteland. He still doesn't believe that he can't handle these aristocratic families.
Even if he conquers a province in ten years, one hundred years will be enough for him to wipe out the Ming Dynasty several times.
For human beings, time is really terrible. The dynasties of Chinese civilization generally do not exceed three hundred years. It is only a small three hundred years. I don’t know how many emperors can be replaced. So, human beings are really very.
Fragility, a small illness or accident can take away a person's life.
For ancient medical technology, seventy is already an advanced age, and not many ordinary people live past the age of forty, so the replacement of ordinary people is particularly fast.
If you really think about it, it's actually quite boring. Life only lasts for a few decades. No matter how hard you work, what can you do? How powerful and domineering you were during your lifetime, you will be nothing more than a handful of loess after your death.
Therefore, Zhu Houcong still has a very clear understanding of himself. Life is short. If he lives for this country all his life, it would be too boring. He also wants to live for himself and take a look at the beautiful scenery above. How long can he live?
I don’t really care, it’s actually quite boring for people to live so long.
"Godfather, the master doesn't want to eat." Huang Jin was helpless. Wouldn't this make him look useless?
"Forget it, don't come if you don't want to come. Master either just doesn't want to do it. He will take everything seriously if he wants to do something. Just send more cakes." Lu Fang knew Zhu Houcong very well. His Majesty didn't
After reading these things, they probably won’t eat them, and after reading them, they will probably have to find work for them again.
They have nothing to do with the following things. They can only implement macro-control. It is impossible for them to check the many officials below one by one. In this way, there will be a lot of moths, and they are helpless when one breaks out from time to time.
In a sense, it is indeed their dereliction of duty, but from a practical point of view, the time is too short and they have no time to manage it.
"Your Majesty won't blame us, right?" Yan Song was still a little worried. Although he had done his best, he was still afraid that His Majesty would be dissatisfied.
"Don't worry, Mr. Yan, you have done a good job. His Majesty will understand you. The time is too short. The key is that we have no one available. It should be better after the imperial examination is over. The cabinet will be what Your Majesty said."
After the assistant arranges it, we can start a lot of work."
Lu Fang comforted Yan Song softly. Many things are not accomplished overnight. Yan Song has only been the chief assistant for how long. He has already done a good job. Yan Song's execution ability is bound to be much higher than that of Yang Tinghe. As long as His Majesty says it, he will definitely implement it.
, do your best, and you really can’t blame him for the rest, after all, the time is too short.
"I hope so." In fact, His Majesty couldn't blame him. Others were already living in the cabinet, so they couldn't cut him into pieces and use them as a few people.
"Haha, if you are worried, just go to His Majesty's place after dinner later. You must have noticed during this period that His Majesty is actually a very kind person. He will not blame you for many things. As long as you
You have tried your best. Of course, if your virtue is not up to your standards, it is best not to hang around in front of him, but for someone like Mr. Yan, His Majesty’s baby is not ready yet, so how can you blame him?”
Lu Fang is still very confident in His Majesty. Your Majesty is not that petty, but I don't know why. He is obviously very interested in it, but he seems to be resisting this matter. It's strange.
"Eunuch Lu is so ridiculous. Yan is just doing what he should do. It's just that Yan is ashamed. Even if he tries his best, he still can't achieve the goal in His Majesty's heart." Yan Song shook his head helplessly. Of course,
It was just a scene talk, but he was still a little proud in his heart. After all, he was the one who took over the mess after Yang Tinghe left. He believed that there would be few people who could do better than him.
"Don't worry, Master Yan. Your Majesty will never forget the meritorious ministers." How could Lu Fang not hear it? However, Yan Song did a good job. Although Yang Tinghe is capable, on the one hand, he is also old.
On the other hand, this old guy likes to do Tai Chi and doesn't do anything at all.
Yan Song is so good, he is young and energetic, and he is very capable of obeying His Majesty's words. Anyway, I don't know what His Majesty thinks, but Lu Fang is quite satisfied with him.
After watching Zhu Houcong for another night, I almost finished it. There are not many useful things, but it can also reflect some problems, especially the large amount of nonsense literature in it. This gives Zhu Houcong a huge headache. He must improve it in the future.
, you damn thing, just talk about it if you have something to do, and don’t talk so much nonsense if you don’t have anything to do.
A thick stack of memorials may only contain a few things, but there can be a lot of nonsense. Anyway, Zhu Houcong couldn't stand it. He hated this kind of ineffective work, and it also looked like you were working very hard. It was a liar.
