Zhu Changwu stayed. When he looked at Lou Heyang, he no longer joked, but asked seriously, "How is it? Are you satisfied with the official position given to you?"
When finally talking about the imperial edict, Lou Heyang became unconfident in his eyes, "Master...can women really be officials?"
To be honest, she was really frightened when a young eunuch came to deliver the order and was appointed as Minister of Rites.
Lou Heyang, who had never thought of becoming an official, was now appointed as the Minister of Rites. That was a third-rank official position. It would be strange not to be scared.
Lou Heyang, who had always looked majestic and a hero among women, was never afraid even when facing thousands of enemies, but now, she was frightened by the title of Minister.
"Why can't women become officials? Shangguan Wan'er became a female official during the Wu Dynasty. Since others can do it, why can't you? Furthermore, even if no one has done it before, can we not do it? Society is changing With development, many things will also change. Don’t you know that women can hold up half the sky?”
When talking about this matter, Zhu Changwu spoke categorically, and his words were full of encouragement and encouragement.
Lou Heyang nodded repeatedly, and then said as if he had made up his mind: "Young master is absolutely right, I will definitely be a good official."
Seeing that Lou Heyang was so confident, Zhu Changwu smiled and nodded, but then he was confused by the other person's next words, "Young Master, what does this Minister of Rites do?"
Obviously, Lou Heyang really didn't understand. She only knew that this was a very big official.
Speaking of the Minister of Rites, he is mainly responsible for the management and supervision of ceremonial affairs. But in Zhu Changwu's eyes, this was certainly not the case. The reason why he took the initiative to help Lou Heyang get this official position was because he was preparing her to do a big career, instead of following the rules and becoming a traditional minister. .
Among the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Rites is propaganda, which is a powerful weapon to control the mouthpiece.
Looking at the Ministry of Rites of the imperial court, they did not play this role at all. It seems that they only know diplomacy and education.
Even education is not done well. It is difficult for ordinary people to get any benefits from it. Those who really benefit are those who are rich and powerful.
At this point, Zhu Changwu couldn't stand it and made up his mind to correct it. What's wrong with ordinary people? Are there no smart and studious people among them? Could it be that if we are born as ordinary people, we can only remain ordinary forever and cannot rely on our own efforts to change everything?
The education Zhu Changwu needs is to give all those who work hard a chance to leap over the dragon's gate. And this is just one of them, the most important one is publicity.
Many times, the policies at the top are good, but why they cannot be implemented at the bottom? In the final analysis, the reason is that the publicity is not in place.
As a result, many policies that benefit the people have been promulgated for a long time, but many people still don't know about them. This is not okay. Things need to be done, and even more so, who would know that you have done so many things for the people?
Lou Heyang is a woman, and a very independent woman. Zhu Changwu is relieved to leave the publicity matter in her hands. More importantly, women are attentive and have their own advantages, which is also one of the most necessary and important factors.
Zhu Changwu didn't go to blame Lou Heyang for not knowing what the duties of the Minister of Rites were. Before, he was a daughter of Jianghu, and at most he could only recognize some words. But when it comes to the functions of imperial officials, it is normal for him not to know.
"Speaking of the position of Minister, it is actually the person in charge of the Ministry of Etiquette. The Minister is in charge of the overall situation, and the Minister is the one who really does the work. This time you are given this position, and all you need is to do some practical work. , do some practical things for the people of Ming Dynasty..."
"As a minister, you are also in charge of publicizing the Ming Dynasty's policies. For example, if there are any good policies in the court that benefit the people, they should be spread through your mouth, so that everyone knows..."
"Since it is propaganda, the forms can of course be various. For example, the more traditional way of posting notices, or shouting while patrolling the streets more deeply, but these effects will not be ideal. Especially when most people can't even read a big Chinese character. Under this situation, no form of written propaganda can achieve satisfactory results. Therefore, my suggestion is that you can rehearse a play and act out some policies in a play, so that anyone who has watched the play will know it. This matter has achieved a very good publicity effect.”
When Zhu Changwu said this, his eyes couldn't help but look at Chen Yuanyuan who was listening carefully to the side.
Sensing Zhu Changwu's gaze, Chen Yuanyuan's face turned red. As a woman, she could feel that there was a hint of aggression and domination in the general's eyes.
If someone else looks at her like this, she might get angry, or even turn around and leave, giving you a back-up. You can think about it yourself.
But Chen Yuanyuan was not angry when Zhu Changwu looked at her like this. On the contrary, she was a little proud.
This is a great general, a great hero who led the Ming army to defeat two thieves in a row.
Isn’t this the saying that beauties love heroes? Not to mention, Zhu Changwu is still so young and handsome. Among their nearly a thousand female soldiers, there are so many people who admire the general in their hearts, and Chen Yuanyuan is one of them.
Chen Yuanyuan lied to Zhu Changwu about one thing before, and that was about Wu Sangui.
As the commander-in-chief, Wu Sangui had always been an enemy of Jiannu in the north. Some of his deeds naturally spread back. At that time, Chen Yuanyuan had a good impression of him. The last time the opponent returned to the capital to resign, he went to Liyuan looked at herself, her eyes were also aggressive, but she didn't dodge that time.
This seemed to be a tacit admission that she had some affection for Wu Sangui, at least not annoyance.
Keren is afraid of comparison.
I thought Wu Sangui was very powerful before, but that was because Zhu Changwu didn't show up.
But since joining the army as a female soldier, she was able to get closer to Zhu Changwu, and Wu Sangui's shadow gradually disappeared from her mind.
The originally hazy shadow of Wu Sangui was now completely faded. At this time, her heart was completely filled with the young, handsome, and even more heroic Zhu Changwu.
Who says that men fall in love with each other, so why not women?
Now noticing that Zhu Changwu was looking at her, Chen Yuanyuan was a little shy, but she was not afraid. On the contrary, she was very happy. She also thought this was an opportunity, so she took the initiative to speak at this moment: "General, what do you mean? If you want to turn policy advocacy into acting, how exactly do you do it?”
"Haha, it's simple. In the final analysis, it is to arrange some new programs according to needs. You can modify the tone of good policies and change them into more beautiful words to sing them out, or you can arrange some things into something that ordinary people can understand and accept. A small program. In short, the more people-friendly the better, the easier it is to understand the better."
For Zhu Changwu, who has seen too much entertainment and news, how to promote policies is really child's play in his eyes.
"Can the general be handed over to the slave family?" Chen Yuanyuan looked eager when she saw Zhu Changwu was so confident.
Lou Heyang saw this scene clearly. She was still worried about publicity just now. Seeing that Chen Yuanyuan wanted to take over this job, she was naturally overjoyed. She immediately said: "Okay, I will leave this matter to you." It’s all round, if you don’t know how to do it then just ask the young master for advice.”
As soon as he became an official, Lou Heyang learned to order others and became a boss. But this decision made Chen Yuanyuan feel happy. When she looked at Zhu Changwu, her eyes were full of expectation.
Of course, Zhu Changwu would not refuse the beauty's interest. His goal was to be reborn and strengthen the Han people, but finding a few confidants was also the joy of life.
"No questions, just ask if you don't know how. I will teach you everything I know." Zhu Changwu laughed heartily.
And then... wherever Zhu Changwu went next, there would always be a "follower" around him. Not to mention that the beauty is not scheming, Chen Yuanyuan's move is also to show the world that she will be the son of the prince from now on, and others should not have any ideas about her. In fact, as a young and beautiful woman, she has never lacked suitors of the opposite sex around her in the past few years, just because her vision is too high and no one can catch her eye.
Chen Yuanyuan is willing to follow her, and from time to time she will ask for advice on how to rehearse and promote plays. Zhu Changwu has no objection to this. Men and women work together so that the work is not tiring. The intruders left and the capital was safe. He also wanted to take this opportunity to relax.
As a result, the two figures appeared in various places. The Dragon Soldier Training Camp outside the city, the Ming Army martial arts training ground inside the city, including Fusi Yamen in Beizhen and other places.
Gradually, everyone who belonged to Zhu Changwu's family knew that there was a young and beautiful confidante beside the general. Originally, some of the thoughtful people, considering Zhu Changwu's murderous side, voluntarily gave up trying to provoke Chen Yuanyuan for the sake of their own lives. From this point of view alone, she had succeeded.
Beizhen Fusi.
Under severe torture, more than sixty ministers revealed their true colors one by one, which was the side that was afraid of death.
Facing various instruments of torture that were terrifying to look at, the ministers quickly explained everything.
They said that this time they were deceived by Yang Guanguang, the former minister of the Ministry of Rites, and they wanted to be greedy for money, so they collectively stood up to impeach Zhu Changwu. Now that they knew they were wrong, they were willing to hand over all the money Yang Guanguang gave them, just asking for them to be released back to their home.
Are some people so naive?
If you do something wrong, just say sorry and that's it? If so, what should the police do?
