"Oh?" Zhu Su doesn't feel sleepy anymore. Could it be that Zhu Laosi, who only knows how to skip school, dance with knives and guns, and use stones to form battle formations, has finally enlightened at an age and is full of love?
He lifted the quilt and sat up with a smirk on his face: "Of course it is recorded in history! And you have seen it too."
"That's the little girl we met in the Imperial Garden. Do you still remember her?"
"Is it her?" Zhu Di thought for a moment and finally remembered Xu Miaoyun, whom he had met with Zhu Su in the Imperial Garden. No matter how much I think about it, I can't remember her appearance, but I do remember that she is the daughter of Xu Da's family. "So, I ended up marrying Uncle Xu's daughter?"
"Yes." Looking at Zhu Di's thoughtful look, Zhu Su just thought she was reminiscing about Xu Miaoyun's appearance. This made him feel like he was eating too much of history: Emperor Yongle and Empress Xu had a deep love for each other in history, and Xu Miaoyun was indeed born beautiful. Now he can vaguely see the appearance of a powerful country and a beautiful city in the future. The fourth child must be extremely satisfied!
"How many children has this Xu family given birth to?" Zhu Di asked again.
oh? Do you care about how many children you have in the future? The smile on Zhu Su's face became even bigger and he said, "In the future, your three sons will all be born to the Xu family!"
"That's it!" Zhu Di nodded, keeping this in mind.
Since my father forbids me from marrying, I will definitely not marry Uncle Xu’s daughter.
As long as the maternal line is not the original owner, in later generations, "filial sons and virtuous grandchildren" like Zhu Qizhen will not appear, right?
Well, to be on the safe side, anyone with the surname Xu should stay away.
In Zhu Di's heart, the surname "Xu" has been labeled as a scourge...
"By the way, let's talk about Uncle Xu's house. These days, the man named Xu Yungong often asks people to ask if you are feeling better." Zhu Di casually threw a piece of pastry into his mouth. "It seems that I am quite worried about your physical condition."
"Xu Yungong?" Zhu Su was confused. Then when the young man saw him before, didn't he say that his eyes were not eyes and his nose was not his nose?
Why, he just threw out a few arithmetic problems and he was so shocked that he was convinced and accepted it?
"Uncle Xu should be back in the next few days. The Jurchen is not very powerful. The army did not spend much effort plowing the court and sweeping the holes."
"In a few days, I'm afraid we will arrive in Beijing."
"The third child has been wandering around the main hall these days. It seems that he wants to find that strange book you made up. You have to think of a good reason to stall him."
"Zhu Tiezhu refuses to apologize. Because of his bad behavior, we almost fell into a pit of fire. He still dares to continue to be locked up in the house and pretend to be sick... I will definitely give him a good treatment another day..."
Zhu Di was eating cakes on the bed without any scruples, while chattering beside Zhu Su. Zhu Su deliberately closed his eyes not to look at him, but he didn't take it seriously either. But Zhu Su actually didn't mind him being noisy. Accompanied by Zhu Di's chattering, Zhu Su gradually felt sleepy and fell into a drowsy sleep.
…
On the other side, Lao Zhu, who came to Jinshen Hall, was dealing with the many memorials in front of him.
With the help of the cabinet, Lao Zhu's political pressure is now much lighter. The cabinet is now increasingly powerful, and some of the powers of the Zhongshu Province have been subtly transferred to the cabinet by Lao Zhu. The Prime Minister of the Left, Hu Weiyong, who is standing below now, looks unhappy.
….
Today's Zhongshu Province has gradually become an idle yamen. His current authority as Zuo Prime Minister is somewhat weaker than when he was an official in the past.
"There is no need to delay the change of military households and craftsmen households. The cabinet will quickly come up with a plan for us. Under certain conditions, military households and craftsmen households will be allowed to change their households." Lao Zhu said.
"In addition, please draw up a plan for us to discuss the matter of the eunuch's involvement in politics." Remembering that Zhu Qizhen caused the disaster by listening to the eunuch's slander, Lao Zhu said abruptly.
"How to deal with eunuchs interfering in government, how to avoid it, these must be drawn up in preparation for spreading to all things. The regulations must be detailed, we must not let our Ming Dynasty fall into the situation of eunuchs interfering in government!"
"Yes." A clerk in the cabinet hurriedly recorded the emperor's oral instructions.
Come. Every time Lao Zhu comes out of the Qianqing Palace in the past few days, he has to ask the cabinet to draft a new decree, the contents of which are diverse and diverse. As a result, the cabinet officials worked overtime every day and were miserable.
Contrary to Zhongshu Sheng, it can be said to be painful and happy at the same time.
Lao Zhu waved away the cabinet and the Central Secretariat and looked at the memorials piled up on the documents. After flipping through several memorials, nothing major happened. The result of the cabinet vote was very much in line with his wishes, and there was nothing to object to.
His thoughts turned back to the "Tumu Fort Incident". If the owner of a land is incompetent, at most it will cause disaster to the place. The Ming Dynasty is so great that it can make up for the loss with surplus, and it can eliminate the disaster of a place invisible.
But if an emperor like Zhu Qizhen emerges, it will immediately be a serious national problem, and no matter how good the system is, it cannot make up for it.
After all, the system is used by the emperor to restrict the people below. If the emperor does not obey the system, who can control him?
Is it ancestral? He already knew from Lao Wu that the ancestral system established by him, the founding emperor, almost became a piece of waste paper in later generations.
No one will implement the "Peel the Skin and Stem Grass", the "Edict" has become a waste paper, and the "Sea Ban" has harmed the Ming Dynasty for generations. Even the just-drafted "The Harem and the Internal Prison are not allowed to interfere in political affairs" have also been banned in Laosi's generation. It was completely wiped out.
Even if I set up a thousand systems to make up for the mistakes, can I really break the curse of the country's subjugation in the future?
The system cannot restrain the emperor!
Lao Zhu felt like he was trapped in a paradoxical cycle. He can only use the system to influence future generations, but as long as future generations ignore it, there is nothing he can do.
And if there will be no faint king in the future, he will not be able to control it. The descendants of the fourth child may be foolish, but who can guarantee that the descendants of the eldest child will not be so?
"What should we do..." Lao Zhu fell into deep thought.
…
Outside the Jinshen Hall, the two groups of the Cabinet and Zhongshu Provincial Department were clearly distinguished, and they were walking down the steps in groups on the left and right.
"Prime Minister Hu, look at those people in the cabinet..." A Zhongshu Provincial official looked at the cabinet officials on the left with disgust. "In terms of rank, they are just some seventh-grade petty officials. However, I have gained a little trust from His Majesty, and my head is about to reach the sky."
"Be careful what you say." Hu Weiyong lowered his head and scolded. "This is still within the imperial city, so we need to be careful that the walls have ears!"
When the official heard this, he quickly shut up, looked around, and then opened his mouth and said, "I don't know what happened to your Majesty these days. He actually issued so many orders."
"Last year, I had to draw up less than half of the regulations that I had to prepare in just a few days..."
This sentence made Hu Weiyong stop immediately. He only cared about fighting for power with the cabinet, but he really didn't care about the reason for His Majesty's sudden changes in the past few days.
He carefully thought about what had been heard in the palace in the past few days and what could be the cause of His Majesty's sudden change.
Finally, I remembered that in the past few days, when Your Majesty comes to the palace, he must first go to Qianqing Palace.
After coming back, he always looked thoughtful. Then we have to draw up all kinds of weird and bizarre arrangements...
"In the Qianqing Palace...the fifth prince who has fallen into the water and has not recovered now lives..."
"His Majesty used to be a prince, but these days, he cares about His Highness the Fifth Highness very much. Even when he is asking about politics, he still asks about His Highness's behavior every once in a while."
"I used to think that His Majesty was just a licker, but now that I think about it, His Majesty the Fifth Prince has his own Queen to take care of him in the palace, so why does Your Majesty need to visit him every day? And he is placed in the Qianqing Palace, the main palace of the harem?"
"Could it be that the root cause of all this is His Highness the Fifth Prince?"
