Chapter 334 Zhu Qiyu: Being in charge is so tiring!
Zhu Jianji actually doesn't think that the night scenes he depicts are very pictorial. After all, he doesn't have the literary talent of "falling clouds and solitary swans flying together over the autumn water to form the same color in the sky".
Moreover, the night scenes depicted are of ordinary cities, mainly because I am not familiar with the night scenes of Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou.
But Zhu Jianji had seen the Zigong Lantern Festival.
Therefore, after describing it, it still made everyone in the East Palace fascinated.
…
…
Jiuqing, seventeen ministers and fourteen ministers, the five-army governor's office was in Kyoto, and the important ministers of the Ming Dynasty gathered in the Qianqing Hall.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not come.
Everyone is used to it.
Anyway, as long as it does not involve the various measures promoted by His Highness himself, His Highness will not interfere in any court meeting, big or small, and all decisions will be made by His Majesty.
Too lazy!
The civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty had never seen such an emperor and prince.
The emperor took the initiative to delegate power to the prince.
Very few in history.
Most emperors do not want the prince to have too much power until the sunset, because the prince is powerful and may force the emperor to abdicate. Therefore, many times, the emperor and the prince are actually political enemies.
It's better for our Ming Dynasty. Emperor Jingtai begged His Highness the Crown Prince to cultivate his power.
What's the result?
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not surprised.
Not only was he careless about cultivating the princelings, but he didn't even care about the emperor delegating power to him. His Royal Highness was even more afraid of such large and small court meetings, as if he was afraid that his majesty would exploit his labor force.
On the contrary, everyone has the illusion that His Royal Highness is exploiting His Majesty’s labor force!
Such a lazy prince...
To be honest, all the civil and military officials in the hall were rejoicing. Fortunately, Emperor Jingtai had not been enthroned in the past few years. If he had been enthroned, would His Highness, the Crown Prince, have to quit the court every now and then, given his temperament?
That country is still unable to develop.
After handling the trivial local government affairs, Chen Xundao, the Minister of Household Affairs, said: "Your Majesty, the Turghut tribe is writing again, requesting to be like the Uighur tribe in the Hami area, move from outside the customs into the Hetao area, and completely merge it under the jurisdiction of our Ming Dynasty. "
Zhu Qiyu thought for a while, "I will ask the prince about this before I make a decision."
Ministers: "..."
here we go again.
Unsurprisingly, His Majesty will only say this sentence for the many major events that will follow.
Yu Qian, Secretary of the Ministry of War, came out and said, "Your Majesty, over in Annan, the war between Li Sicheng and Huilong Camp has become more and more intense. Although Huilong Camp has won many battles and has completely controlled Hue Prefecture and Shenghua Prefecture in Annan, but After all, it is an invasion, I am afraid it will be difficult to maintain peace for a long time, and Li Sicheng is recruiting troops vigorously, should we let Yunnan Mu Prince's Palace and Guangxi Dusi put some pressure on Li Sicheng?"
From his standpoint, Yu Qian must save the Baozong.
Zhu Qiyu thought for a while, "I will ask the prince about this before I make a decision."
Yu Qian retreated.
There is no rush, anyway, after every court meeting, His Majesty will send the matters that he has not yet decided to the Wenhua Hall, and then before dark that day, the action plans that the Prince has decided will be passed on to various departments.
The commander of the Jin Yiwei sent Liu Jing out, "Your Majesty, according to the information from the Jin Yiwei, Chen Ruyan, Menda, Lu Lu and others, with the help of Li Gunaha, have established a firm foothold in the Jurchens, and it seems that they have set up a similar organization. Our Ming Dynasty Jinyiwei organization uses the secret agents lurking in our Ming Dynasty to steal information for them——"
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zhu Qiyu, "The prince has always been in charge of this matter. Commander Liu, if you have any news involving the Jurchens in the future, just report it directly to the Wenhua Palace. There is no need to go around here."
Liu Jing received the order.
I secretly cursed in my heart.
This has always been the case. His Royal Highness is the judge of most Jinyiwei matters. But as a minister, how dare he not tell the emperor Zhu Qiyu. Zhu Qiyu would be unhappy when the time came and he would be questioned and Liu Jing would be hard pressed to defend himself.
.
In any case, Jinyiwei is under the direct jurisdiction of the emperor.
How dare you not go through Zhu Qiyu's hands?
Hang Min, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, came out and said, "Your Majesty, the Ministry of Industry has received a document from the East Palace, saying that it hopes to build a copper wire factory and belong to the Royal Electric Power Company under the leadership of the East Palace. However, it involves copper, and I dare not do anything about it.
Please give me your Majesty's advice."
Zhu Qiyu originally wanted to get it right.
But then I thought, even though we are father and son in the world, I still can't look too ugly. I asked, "Does the East Palace need to pay for the copper that the copper wire factory needs?"
Hang Min said: "His Royal Highness said he purchased it from the Ministry of Industry."
Zhu Qiyu looked at the ministers, "What do you think?"
Lu Yu, the Minister of Rites, said: "I don't know why Your Highness established this copper wire factory. If it is for the development of firearms, I think we can fully support it. If it is for other private purposes, then we must consider it carefully. After all, the amount of copper is to maintain
Important factor in national currency."
Chen Xun smiled and said: "Actually...copper is not that important now."
After a pause, "The promotion of treasure banknotes has initially achieved results. Now you can use treasure banknotes across the country. Especially during the Spring Festival this year, when all nations come to visit the DPRK, our Ming Dynasty has negotiated with many countries. From now on, treasure banknotes can be used for national tribute and trade."
Banknote settlement, I even think that if the credit of Baobao continues to rise, in a few years Baobao may replace copper coins as the main currency and the direct carrier of gold and silver."
As soon as these words came out, all the ministers nodded.
This is true.
Now the Ming Dynasty and North Korea, Mobei, Japan, Jurchen, Annan, Nanzhang and other countries are all using treasure banknotes for settlement. Even the tribute between Annan and North Korea has been finalized during the Spring Festival this year, and treasure banknotes can be used instead of physical objects.
This strategy was decided by the prince.
There was a lot of opposition at the time.
Because the Ming Dynasty did not care about treasures, but the materials from Korea and Annan.
As a result, you agreed to let Annan pay tribute to North Korea with treasure banknotes.
It makes no sense.
But the prince quickly convinced the civil and military officials: Where did Annan and North Korea get so many treasure notes? Didn't they get the treasure notes only after we used the treasure notes to buy a large amount of supplies from them?
Besides, this is to further strengthen the national credibility of Baochao.
Seeing this, Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "In that case, the Ministry of Industry will guarantee the cost of the copper from the prince and sell it to him according to the price. Well, don't say that I am using my power for personal gain and give it to the prince at a price higher than the market price.
.”
Hang Min immediately accepted the order.
After dealing with some important national affairs, and finally the removal of some local officials and the mobilization of troops at the Coast Guard, Zhu Qiyu still maintained his principle.
He makes decisions on trivial matters, such as people's livelihood, water conservancy, drought and flood relief.
All matters involving military strength and reform measures are subject to the Crown Prince's decision.
Next court.
After the courtiers had retired, Zhu Qiyu asked Shu Liang, "What has the prince been busy with recently? If I remember correctly, since the Shangyuan Festival, the number of times the prince has attended court meetings has not exceeded five times!"
Shu Liang said: "I don't know, but there is something strange in the East Palace these days. The Royal Electric Power Company, which Lu Chunjing is in charge of, recently transported a lot of wooden piles to the East Palace."
Zhu Qiyu, "Wooden Stake?"
He asked in confusion: "Is the East Palace going to be expanded?"
The bastard decided to expand the East Palace without consulting him. It was outrageous.
Get up and say, "Show me the East Palace!"
My son didn't come, so I took the initiative to take a look - the main reason is that the affairs of the Torgut tribe can't be delayed any longer. The Torgut tribe has wanted to move to the Hetao area since last year.
I have submitted this letter many times, but I have been dragged away from making a decision.
Zhu Qiyu was also afraid that the Turgut tribe would become angry and break with the Ming Dynasty. This would not be in line with the Ming Dynasty's strategy outside the customs, so he took advantage of the lack of things today to discuss the matter with his son and finally made a decision.
To be honest, Zhu Qiyu felt very tired.
He is only responsible for trivial matters now, but these trivial political affairs are the most tiring.
He really wanted to practice Zen.
But his son was living a carefree life singing and dancing in the East Palace every day. He almost never came to attend court meetings. He was so neglectful of his duties. How could Zhu Qiyu dare to take this lightly?
