Three years of martial arts.
Zhu Zhanhe hurriedly walked into the imperial study room.
After three years of experience, he is a well-deserved prince.
Due to Emperor Wude's not-so-"healthy" body, one illness would occur every three days and one illness would occur every five days, so most of the government affairs in the court were handled by the Crown Prince Zhu Zhanhe.
Fortunately, he has the full assistance of the cabinet ministers, otherwise Zhu Zhanhe alone may not be able to accomplish everything.
In fact, Zhu Zhanhe was also very helpless. The prince expressed that he was very hurt when he saw such a neglectful father.
However, Emperor Wude had good reasons and directly cited the glorious deeds of Yongle's former crown prince Zhu Gaochi, so Zhu Zhanhe had no reason to refute.
The only thing to blame is the tradition of the old Zhu family. Starting from Zhu Biao, the Yiwen prince of the Hongwu Dynasty, none of the princes of the old Zhu family had it easy.
Zhu Zhanhe even speculated without malice that if he continued to work so hard, he might really follow in the footsteps of Zhu Biao and Zhu Gaochi.
When he walked into the imperial study, he saw Emperor Wude enjoying a cup of tea leisurely, and Zhu Zhanhe immediately became angry.
"Father, you are obviously not sick, why don't you go to court?"
"Now everyone in the government and the opposition is criticizing you for being too lazy in politics. I don't know how to organize you!"
Hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu raised his head and replied lazily: "Let them go, arrange it how you like!"
"I went to court early in the morning and had to get up in the middle of the night to prepare. After all, I am also the emperor of the day now. I can't even sleep in?"
"Besides, it's not like I've never been there before. You see, there's a morning pilgrimage every other day so everyone can have a good rest. Why not?"
What Zhu Gaoxu said was reasonable and well-founded, and Zhu Zhanhe could only shake his head and smile bitterly.
Who would have thought that their beloved Lord Jun would not even go to court just because he wanted to sleep in!
This is really... dumbfounding.
"Father, you're almost ready. The frequency of your 'sickness' during this period is too high."
"Those courtiers do not dare to criticize you, His Majesty the Emperor, but they dare to go to the Imperial Hospital to cause trouble."
"I heard that Gu Zuo and the others are vigorously impeaching the imperial doctors at the imperial hospital, accusing them of not being able to properly maintain the emperor's dragon body..."
Hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu was dumbfounded.
The stupid Gu Zuo actually did this to him!
"What does this Gu Penzi want to do?"
"I see if he has been a little too idle recently!"
Zhu Gaoxu snorted coldly and wrote Gu Zuo down in his notebook.
In fact, as a martial emperor, he was quite qualified, but he only occasionally missed the morning court.
After all, according to the etiquette system, the morning court starts at six or seven o'clock, so he, Zhu Gaoxu, has to get up after five o'clock to get ready. What a big complaint!
The emperor's errand is really not as happy as the world imagines.
He wakes up earlier than a chicken, goes to bed later than a dog, eats worse than a pig, and is more tired than a donkey!
Zhu Gaoxu didn't want to follow in the footsteps of Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang and become a workaholic who exhausted himself to death.
Anyway, after his repeated adjustments, the court structure has already formed a set of effective processing procedures.
The local memorials were first sent to the cabinet, and were screened and labeled by the cabinet ministers. Then they were all sent to the prince Zhu Zhanhe. They were reviewed and answered one by one according to the priorities arranged by the cabinet ministers in advance, and finally submitted to Zhu Gaoxu. Son of Heaven.
Zhu Gaoxu will review the comments of Prince Zhu Zhanhe again. After confirming that they are correct, he will send them back to the cabinet. A group of cabinet scholars will make an official reply to all the memorials based on these opinions, and then distribute them to the seven ministries and departments of the imperial court.
In this way, the cabinet became the emperor's privileged advisory body, and did not have much power in its hands, so that it would not eventually develop into a behemoth that threatened or even emptied the imperial power in history.
In addition, the prince also played an indelible role in this process. After years of experience and training, the prince will also be familiar with government affairs and gradually learn how to govern the country. Moreover, the emperor will teach him in time, so when the prince ascends the throne and becomes emperor, At that time, he wouldn't be a foolish king who didn't understand anything.
The most important thing is that this way, Zhu Gaoxu, the Ming Emperor, will be much more relaxed. He no longer has to worry about trivial government affairs and only needs to control the general direction.
However, compared with Emperor Taizu Gao, his behavior is like nothing in the world.
Zhu Yuanzhang, the great emperor of Taizu, was a real workaholic. He had to work hard to manage everything by himself. He had to personally deal with all matters, no matter how big or small. So in the end, he died of illness due to overwork.
It is precisely because of the existence of the role model of Emperor Taizu Gao that Zhu Gaoxu, the emperor of martial virtue, seems to be very crotchless. It would be strange if the ministers don't clamor!
"Okay, I understand, I will go to court as usual tomorrow morning."
Zhu Gaoxu spoke helplessly and replied hummingly.
"Heyer, why did you come here today?"
When it came to business, Zhu Zhanhe looked solemn.
"Father, the Chief Envoy of Lingbei, Yu Qian, has received news that the land reclamation work in Lingbei has been almost completed in the past three years, and it's time to prepare to spread the land!"
Hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu suddenly sat up straight, took over Tai Qian's report and read it carefully.
Because of the success of potato planting, Lingbei attracted countless gentry to open up wasteland and colonize in the past three years, including many who were sent by certain courtiers.
There is no way, Lingbei is too vast, and the support policies provided by the court are too generous.
As long as the people used to open up wasteland and cultivate, the cultivated fields would belong to them. Not only would the court provide potatoes, cattle and other farming materials, but the newly cultivated fields would also be tax-free for three years!
Under such generous welfare benefits, how can those gentry who always like to "farm, study and pass down the family" still be able to sit still!
In the countryside, in order to compete for a few fertile fields and fertile soil, these dogs will do anything they can to beat their brains out!
Now that such a vast unclaimed land in Lingbei is before our eyes, only a fool would sit still and watch others eat and drink!
Because of this, Lingbei has developed very well in the past three years. The influx of ordinary people and merchants has brought Lingbei new vitality and a completely different scenery.
"Very good, I spent so much time in vain."
"Those gentry must have made a lot of money. It's time to close the net!"
Zhu Gaoxu chuckled lightly and regained his domineering attitude as Emperor Wude.
"Call all the court officials to discuss matters!"
After all, the new policy of sharing the land with the family is of great concern, so Zhu Gaoxu cannot be too careful.
He will announce this new policy in public tomorrow morning, so he must greet all the court officials in advance so that they can be prepared.
As for other courtiers and gentry, that is not what Zhu Gaoxu considers.
It would be best if you were obedient and obedient. If you couldn't see the situation clearly and had to jump out to commit suicide, then Zhu Gaoxu wouldn't mind killing a few people to sacrifice the flag!
In the current situation, anyone who dares to block it will only be crushed into powder!
