The way Lao Zhu looks now is just like how he looked at Queen Ma sitting on his dragon throne.
"Hahaha!" Zhu Xiongying laughed immediately after hearing this.
"Then what does Grandpa think of me looking like this?"
"Okay, okay!" At this time, Lao Zhu recalled the way Zhu Xiongying gave orders before, which made Lao Zhu extremely satisfied.
"Dasun, the series of actions you just performed were really full of domineering spirit!"
"You can't help but worship me!" Lao Zhu said with admiration,
"As it was just now, even if we are about to ascend the throne, we don't need to worry about you, eldest grandson!"
"Okay, he is a qualified emperor! With that temperament, that look in his eyes, and that uncompromising attitude, we are really satisfied!"
"And it's not just that!" Lao Zhu continued to say in admiration,
"We discovered that you, boy, seem to be born to eat this bowl of rice!"
"Oh? What do you say?" Zhu Xiongying asked with a smile.
"Haha, you kid is not honest, what did you do before!" Lao Zhu laughed and pointed at Zhu Xiongying.
"Your previous ideas have greatly won the hearts of the people!"
"Moreover, you can also use these methods to win back the hearts and minds of the entire Ming Dynasty!"
"Awesome, awesome, the method is not very clever, but it is extremely useful!"
"Even we can't think of such a way!"
"If we could have had such a method back then, then our Ming Dynasty would have been established faster!" Lao Zhu said,
"Besides, when we were your age, we were far inferior to you!"
"If it were you, kid, if we were born a few decades ago, then the emperor of the Ming Dynasty might not be us!"
"Hahaha, he is worthy of being our eldest grandson and the heir to our Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang!"
"From now on, you have to make your own decisions about some things. We are here to watch. If you don't understand something, just ask us anytime!"
"We'll leave the rest to you!"
"Okay, haha, then grandpa will help me check and I will handle the matter!" Zhu Xiongying did not refuse.
He knew that he had a lot to learn, but he had to give himself a chance to get started. Otherwise, how could he make progress?
"Okay, let's deal with it!" After saying that, Lao Zhu also made way for Zhu Xiongying and let him sit on the dragon chair.
"Your Majesty, Your Highness, the memorial from the General Administration Department has been delivered!"
Soon after, Zhu Xiongying saw Chen Ergou coming to report.
"Let people come in!" Zhu Xiongying said without raising his head.
"Yes, Your Highness!" With that said, Chen Ergou carefully stepped back and let people in.
Many people in the General Affairs Department are people who passed the imperial examination and are not very old.
"Your Majesty, Zhang Wei, your Majesty, Your Highness the Grand Sun!" A young man said in greeting.
"Get up!" Zhu Xiongying took a look and said calmly.
Lao Zhu did not express any opinions and sat next to Zhu Xiongying, while Zhu Xiongying sat directly on the dragon chair.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, Your Highness!" After saying that, he also stood up.
Seeing the position of the two of them, I couldn't help but be surprised, but they are both sensible people.
Seeing that Lao Zhu didn't have any opinions, and the previous feelings Lao Zhu had for Zhu Biao, they naturally wouldn't have any reaction or excuse.
Otherwise, we wouldn’t be able to get here.
What's more, the good relationship between the emperor and the prince is also a good thing for them.
It cannot be said that there are no pedantic people in these imperial examinations. If there were such people, Lao Zhu would not place them in any important positions.
At most, they are the teachers of the Imperial College. Don’t think about the rest.
Lao Zhu is not an uncivilized person. Even Zhu Biao proposed it not just once. Many scholars are good at reading.
But for others, when dealing with official duties, they are all dull.
So they will handle it well. The Zhang Wei who appears now is not a dull person.
However, some habits may not be changed so easily.
"Your Majesty, Your Highness, I have completed the report you ordered before. I would like to ask Your Majesty, Your Highness to read it!" Zhang Wei respectfully presented it.
"Yes!" Zhu Xiongying gestured and asked Chen Ergou to deliver the things to Zhu Xiongying's hands.
Looking at the official newspaper, the writing is still the same as before, full of flowers and quotes from classics.
Zhu Xiongying even found it difficult to read it himself.
Well, after all, I grew up among the people, although I am pretty good at reading.
But he still has to take into account martial arts training and hunting to support himself, even if he has read a lot and has a high level of education.
But there are some things that I still don’t quite understand.
There are three or four allusions in such a sentence, which makes Zhu Xiongying a little unbearable.
Zhu Xiongying didn't say anything. Instead, he continued to look at the people and asked them to write some easy-to-understand newspapers.
This is much easier to understand, but it is still classical Chinese. There are some things that Zhu Xiongying can understand, but others may not.
And Zhang Wei, standing respectfully below, didn't know what Zhu Xiongying meant.
This was the first request His Highness Taisun had made of them. The people in the General Affairs Department racked their brains and started writing.
The first article is about being as gorgeous as possible, and the second article is about being as disgusting as possible.
Zhang Wei now feels like he was waiting for his imperial examination results, knowing that he did well in the examination.
But I didn't know whether it met the examiner's requirements. For a moment, I was extremely nervous.
"Zhang Wei!" Zhu Xiongying shouted.
"I'm here!" Zhang Wei quickly bowed and saluted respectfully.
"Don't you remember what I said in the court before?" Zhu Xiongying asked.
"Your Highness, I...remember!" Zhang Wei said.
Cold sweat broke out on Zhang Wei's forehead instantly. He knew that His Highness was not satisfied with this, or rather these two memorials, written by the Secretary of General Affairs.
The pressure came to Zhang Wei instantly, and he couldn't help but scream secretly in his heart.
"Remember? So this article was written in such a clumsy way?" Zhu Xiongying threw the memorial on the desk in front of the dragon chair.
The snap sound seemed to hit Zhang Wei directly in the heart.
"Your Highness, I forgive you. I didn't understand what Your Highness meant, so I went back and changed it immediately!" Zhang Wei said quickly.
"Yeah!" Zhu Xiongying nodded and said,
"This is your first time to change the imperial palace report. Any mistakes or omissions are not unforgivable!"
"But there aren't many opportunities, you know?"
"Understood, Your Highness, I will definitely be able to fulfill His Highness's instructions and write a newspaper that satisfies His Highness's wishes!" Zhang Wei quickly assured him.
"Well, it's not just Gu's satisfaction, but also whether the people below can understand and understand it!"
"Let them write without any objection or doubt!"
"I know that you are well-educated, well-read, and knowledgeable, but the court's official newspaper is not the usual poems and essays written by you literati!"
"This is for the whole world, the entire Ming Dynasty!"
"They are not all knowledgeable people like you. You have to make it so that every official can understand the meaning!"
"Don't end up with any ambiguous articles, and do other things under the banner of Gu, it will be a disgrace to Gu!"
"Yes, Your Highness, I understand!" Zhang Wei said quickly.
"Well, there is still one remaining portion, do you understand?" Zhu Xiongying continued to ask,
"This is for all the people of the Ming Dynasty. What you write is only for people who know a few big characters. Can they understand it?"
"What Gu means is that all the people, as long as they know the words, can know what Gu has done!"
"Is this what you wrote?"
"If you really don't understand, go to the people and see more!"
"Ask the people and see if they can understand!"
As he spoke, Zhu Xiongying's words became much harsher.
"Yes, yes, yes, Your Highness!" Zhang Wei responded quickly.
"I believe you all know the content of what you wrote yourself!"
"Then you should understand what attitude Grandpa Huang has towards the people!"
"If it is completed well, there will naturally be no problems in the future, but if it is not completed well, you should go back and study more!"
"Get to know more about the people, and then study how to govern them!"
"You don't know what the people's needs are, and you still want to govern them?"
"Yes, yes, your highness! I must go down and study it carefully!" Zhang Wei broke into cold sweat and agreed quickly.
Being with Zhu Xiongying, the pressure is really too much, even more serious than that of Lao Zhu...
