After Zhu Jingyuan left the city, he rode to the military camp specially used for training the royal children. After being inspected by the gate guard, he began morning exercises.
The first is to ride a horse around the field and run two laps on a specific site. You will encounter fixed and moving targets on the way, and you need to take out your pistol and shoot.
Normal training does not require hit rate, but you cannot miss the target completely. During the graduation assessment, you must obtain the most basic target rate, and continue training to maintain it after graduation.
After running, dismount and prepare the infantry by yourself, including gun maintenance, loading and unloading, and then jog with the equipment. There is also a shooting event in the middle.
There are stationary targets and moving targets, stationary shooting and moving shooting. Stationary targets have ring number requirements, and moving targets have target accuracy requirements.
After completing two rounds, take off the infantry equipment and join the cooperating artillery to complete artillery preparation, target ranging, ballistic calculation, and shooting training.
After knocking out a few shells, stopping after completing the cross-fire, and going to the statistician to sign, the daily training is over.
Zhu Jingyuan didn't do it quickly because he didn't want to squeeze out his physical strength. In the end, he finished it while being sandwiched between several princes and grandsons.
But Zhu Jingyuan's shooting on-target rate and hit rate are obviously higher than those of his uncle and brothers.
If training is regarded as an assessment, they are just able to pass the test, while Zhu Jingyuan is able to do it with ease every day.
But these princes and grandsons had long been used to it. They all signed the papers with expressionless faces and rode back to the city.
Zhu Jingyuan followed them slowly.
The inspections when entering the city are stricter than when leaving the city, and princes and grandsons like Zhu Jingyuan also accept inspections honestly.
Zhu Jingyuan passed through the two city gates again, returned to his father's palace, took off his clothes and got into the bathroom.
Take a good bath to wash away the sweat and fatigue from your body, put on your court clothes and come out, looking at the maids Chunxiang and Qiuyue who came up:
"How are you two thinking?"
The two girls looked at each other in confusion, then Chunxiang looked up as the representative, looked at Zhu Jingyuan rather uneasily and said:
"The slaves' idea is that if it must be changed to employment, it should be lifelong employment rather than fixed-term employment, and everything existing should not be changed..."
They have the most basic living guarantee so that they can survive. It doesn't matter whether there is extra compensation or not. This is the ideal life of ordinary people.
Because most ordinary free people, the rewards they get from working hard may not guarantee them a stable life.
After Zhu Jingyuan listened, he thought for a moment and said as a reminder:
“Have you ever thought that as long as you become employed free persons, your actual treatment will definitely change.
"It's illegal for me to hit you, it's rape for me to force you to sleep with me, and you have to pay with your life if I kill you, and the court will take care of it."
This time even the cautious Chunxiang was confused:
"This... why is this happening..."
Zhu Jingyuan shook his head and sighed:
"So think about it carefully. I'm going to court first. When I come back in the afternoon, you can tell me your thoughts..."
Under the confused gazes of the two maids, Zhu Jingyuan left the room and went next door to find his parents.
After Renwu, the time for the morning dynasty in the Ming Dynasty was changed to 9 am. The nobles of the clan had finished their morning exercises, so it was appropriate to go to the morning dynasty.
Zhu Jingyuan also happened to be able to take his father's car to the palace.
Today is the sixth day of the first lunar month, which was supposed to be the public holiday during the Chinese New Year. However, due to the severe situation on the front line and at home, the court did not have a holiday at all this year.
Zhu Jingyuan said goodbye to his mother, followed his father in the car he had taken yesterday, and left the house with a loud bang.
It's now time to go to work, and the streets of the old city of the capital are finally a little livelier, with officials at all levels from Shangya everywhere.
After Renwu's revival, he completely banned human-powered sedans on the grounds of "treating people as animals".
Most officials go out to ride horses. If they are old or in poor health, they can ride in various forms of carriages.
Cars were still a rare commodity at this time, and most of those who could accept them had no money to buy them, and those who had money thought they were too noisy.
Therefore, when Zhu Jianyan's car drives out during the day, it always attracts the attention of passers-by.
Zhu Jingyuan sat by the window, looking at the street scene outside, and his father's instructions rang in his ears:
“Today’s morning court meeting is going to Fengtian Temple. The main purpose is to read out the imperial edict that was finalized last night. The court will officially start the reforms discussed yesterday.
"However, matters related to the peace negotiation and the imperial edict related to you and me will not be read out publicly, but will be sent directly to us. Do you know why this is?"
Zhu Jingyuan knew that his father was guiding him to think, so he thought about it for a while and replied:
“I think that in order to take a more proactive position in the peace negotiations, we should not immediately respond to the other party’s hints about peace negotiations.
“At the very least, deliberately delay your response for a few days, and it is best to wait until the next time the other party asks directly before responding formally to them.
"At the same time, we can also release some beneficial reform news as soon as possible, so that the front line can organize a large-scale bluff attack..."
Zhu Jianyan nodded slightly and said:
"Well, that's pretty much it. Therefore, unless necessary, do not show the imperial edict given to you to others until the news of the peace talks is officially made public."
Zhu Jingyuan nodded seriously:
"I see……"
Wangfu Street, where Zhu Jianyan lived, was only a few kilometers away from the Forbidden City. It didn't take long for him to enter the palace city again.
The destination this time was no longer the Wenhua Hall yesterday, but the Fengtian Hall, the main hall of the Forbidden City.
Fengtian Hall is the later Taihe Hall. It was originally named Fengtian Hall, but was renamed Huangji Hall in the Jiajing period. After Emperor Shizu regained his old capital, he changed the name back again.
The internal layout has also been changed. On both sides of the emperor's throne, there are seats for ministers just like the Wenhua Palace, but there are more seats than in the Wenhua Palace.
The daily morning dynasty is not a big dynasty, but the scale is much larger than yesterday's imperial meeting.
The chief officers and assistant officers of the foreign ministries, all the cabinet bachelors, the main representatives of the Zongren Mansion and Zongren Yuan, all military ministers, the governors of the Fifth Army Commandery Mansion...
Senior managers from the highest institutions of the empire and major officials from the capital also arrived one after another. There were more than a hundred people sitting in the entire venue.
The daily morning meetings after Renwu were somewhat similar to the daily morning meetings of later generations of companies and departments. They usually reported on the progress of previous work and arranged today's work.
The court meeting usually does not last too long. After the court meeting, officials have to go to the Yamen to work.
Usually not everyone who is qualified to go to court comes, and usually not too important things are announced. Under normal circumstances, it is done in the Wenhua Hall.
But today is different. By simply changing the location to Fengtian Palace and recruiting all the officials who should come to court, the ordinary officials will know that something big is going to happen.
Especially those who are qualified to participate in the imperial meeting. Those important officials in the imperial court now all have serious faces, which makes ordinary officials feel even more depressed.
As a result, before the daily morning court began, the courtiers who would have chatted among themselves were now all serious and patiently waiting for the court to begin.
Zhu Jingyuan also followed his father, standing quietly and saying nothing.
When the time came to nine o'clock in the morning, the emperor entered the main hall in court uniform, and the princes and ministers bowed in unison to greet him.
After the emperor responded, he sat down. The ministers took their seats one by one with permission. Zhu Jingyuan sat behind Zhu Jianyan.
Then everyone could see that the two attendants following the emperor were holding two small boxes carefully.
Experienced ministers all know that it holds a sealed imperial edict, which is equivalent to an effective imperial decree.
If it were just a box, there might be only one edict in it, but now that there are two boxes, there are definitely more than two.
Sure enough, after all the ministers were seated, the ceremonial officer announced the beginning of the court meeting, and then at the emperor's signal, he began to read out the imperial edict continuously.
The first step was to abolish vassals and establish provinces, which surprised the officials who had not received the news. The next step was to open up the ban on six major industries.
Next came the establishment of the Labor Bureau, the Invalides Institute, etc., all of which were truly major policy changes.
Major political adjustments of this level may not happen once every few years, but today they are being implemented one after another.
The surrounding ministers were a little surprised at first, but after reading it, they all became numb and fell silent.
The whole hall was quiet, except for the solemn reading of the etiquette officer.
Until the end, two imperial edicts were not announced publicly, and Zhu Jianyan, Zhu Jingyuan and his son went up to pick them up.
After all the imperial edicts were read out and handed over to the department representatives directly responsible, the emperor on the dragon throne spoke directly:
“These are the key points of government affairs in the next, today, this month, this year, and even in the next few years and more than ten years.
"My dear friends, you must go all out and execute it quickly and steadily without any mistakes.
"If there is nothing else, let's end the morning meeting here."
