Yao Guangxiao took a sip of tea, turned the rosary in his hands, and said coldly:
"The poor monk has long said that he is a rare genius."
"But I heard that he was assassinated in Liuhe a few days ago. Who did it? Has Your Majesty found out?"
"Oh, this is what happened. Ji Gang investigated and reported back. After verification, it was confirmed that it was a group of gangsters who attempted to break into the house and rob, and accidentally hit the hands of Xu Qin and his general."
"The martial arts of the dozen or so wanderers are not good at all. They are really vulnerable to Xu's Hunyuan Kung Fu and Xiefeng Sword Technique."
Zhu Di wrote lightly.
"Oh, it turned out to be a rogue. The poor monk thought it was someone from the army who did it."
Yao Guangxiao raised his triangular eyes and looked at Zhu Di, humming thoughtfully.
In a low-end inn, a dozen thieves and thieves went to carry out armed robbery?
Either you are a fool or you got kicked in the head by a donkey.
Not only did the demon monk not believe this, Zhu Di certainly didn't believe it either.
It must have been hired by the newly rich Jingnan people.
But who exactly?
Is there one chief envoy, or several?
Can this matter be investigated further?
It would be great to dig deeper, it would be like poking a hornet's nest. When the time comes, Zhu Di will really be unable to get off the tiger.
Ji Gang understood Zhu Di's temperament and decided to reduce big things to small things.
Anyway, everyone is dead, not a single survivor or a trace of evidence is left. The vast world is vast and complicated.
How to check?
"Yes, I had some suspicions, but the Jin Yiwei found no solid evidence."
Zhu Di smiled meaningfully.
Of course Yao Guangxiao understood it and he would not ask about it again.
"Next, His Majesty should focus on solving people's livelihood issues, especially food issues, court finance and taxation, foreign trade, weights and measures, etc., based on the new system."
"The poor monk observed the celestial phenomena last night and realized something, so he decided to advise His Majesty today."
Zhu Di took a sip of pickles and millet porridge and asked:
"It is true that the system is the key link, but now I lack good ministers to assist me. How do you think the young master should proceed?"
"The poor monk thought that this matter could be left to the prince. The prince is quite knowledgeable and interested in the management of civil affairs."
"He is twenty-five years old this year and will be twenty-six years old in the next year. Prince Yiwen had already assisted Taizu in governing affairs. Your Majesty should let him take on some responsibilities and assist Your Majesty in civil affairs administration. He will surely strengthen the country and enrich the people. "
Yao Guangxiao actually fought for a greater voice for the prince and consolidated his status in advance.
In military affairs, the prince basically has no say.
In this regard, Zhu Di cannot let go easily.
Civil affairs is Zhu Di's weak point, and everything is too detailed, which makes his scalp numb.
The prince happened to be attentive and gentle, so he was suitable for this matter.
The key is that the prince has Xu Qin as his assistant.
Yao Guangxiao's answer was well-reasoned and unquestionable.
Zhu Di was speechless for a moment, pointed at the demon monk with his chopsticks, and said helplessly:
"Young Master is still the same, his temper has not changed at all."
"Not long after I arrived in Peking and became a vassal, after returning to Beijing to attend the funeral of my mother, the young master recommended himself, saying that he was unparalleled in resourcefulness and could help me achieve great things."
"I was hesitant back then, but now that I have been here for more than 20 years, I realize that what the young master said is true."
Yao Guangxiao just smiled slightly when he heard this, not being modest.
Clearly, he was extremely confident in his own resourcefulness.
He ate two more Xiao Long Bao, then put down his chopsticks and looked up at Zhu Di, and said slowly:
"His Majesty has many affairs, and the poor monk is too old to be around to assist him. Xu Qin mentioned last time that he wanted to establish Wenyuan Pavilion to assist His Majesty in handling complicated government affairs. The poor monk thought it was feasible."
"And Wenyuan Pavilion is usually under the jurisdiction of the prince, which helps organize all affairs of the government."
Zhu Di thought for a moment and thought it was not a major military matter, so he agreed:
"Let's handle this matter according to Young Master's advice. It's just a candidate for Wenyuan Pavilion. Have you considered it?"
Yao Guangxiao took a sip of tea and said in a deep voice:
"The candidates for Wenyuan Pavilion should first be composed of those who compiled and edited the "Yongle Dadian"."
"Are you talking about people like Xie Jin, Yang Shiqi, Yang Rong? But in addition to compiling the Grand Ceremony, do they also have other matters such as the preparation for the establishment of the Imperial Academy?"
Zhu Di questioned.
"The editor-in-chief, the bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion, and the preparation for the establishment of Taixuetang, etc., are all in the same line. They can be integrated and integrated, so that these knowledgeable people can give full play to their talents."
"They only participate in discussions and provide suggestions, but have no decision-making or execution rights. Someone will do the detailed documentation and other matters."
Yao Guangxiao gave an in-depth explanation.
He understood Xu Qin's "separation of three powers" theory of suggestion power, decision-making power and execution power quite thoroughly.
Zhu Di agreed and did not continue to ask.
"Oh, Master, you are proficient in history books. Tell me how many years have the Han dynasties lasted from the Han Dynasty to the present?"
Oh, when did he care about this?
Is it possible that you really want to compete with the Tang Dynasty and surpass Li Shimin?
Yao Guangxiao knew everything about the court affairs.
Zheng He was his Buddhist disciple as early as ten years ago.
He put down his chopsticks, wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, and said in a deep voice:
"The Western Han Dynasty lasted 209 years, the Eastern Han Dynasty 195 years, the Western Jin Dynasty 51 years, the Eastern Jin Dynasty 103 years, the Sui Dynasty 37 years, the longest Tang Dynasty was 289 years, the Northern Song Dynasty 167 years, and the Southern Song Dynasty 152 years."
After hearing this number, Zhu Di suddenly frowned and began to think deeply.
The young master said that the Ming Dynasty should have five or six hundred years of luck, but he also emphasized that there were several dangers after the Yongle Dynasty.
If it can be avoided, your luck will be smooth.
If not, your luck will be greatly compromised.
If it's not done well, the Ming Dynasty's luck will not exceed three hundred years.
How?
The young master didn't say anything, and it was absolutely inconvenient for others to ask.
The secret cannot be revealed.
What he is thinking about now is how to extend the life of the Ming Dynasty?
Throughout the history of various dynasties, the Tang Dynasty was the longest, which was 289 years.
Is the 300-year destiny of a dynasty a red line?
"Amitabha."
Yao Guangxiao saw Zhu Di looking deep in thought, plucked his rosary and said:
"Your Majesty, you don't need to be troubled. You can have a cup of tea and take a nap, and then go back to the palace to review and approve the memorial. Why bother in vain?"
"Relevant policies and measures will be left to the prince's group of bachelors from Wenyuan Pavilion to study and discuss. They will come up with a first draft and then submit it to the court ministers for review. The final decision will be made by His Majesty before it is too late."
"Everything will fall into place, no need to rush."
Zhu Di took a few steps, turned to Yao Guangxiao, smiled, and said:
"What the young master said is absolutely true. If I were born in a peaceful world, it would be nice to be a hands-off shopkeeper, have breakfast with a group of close friends by the Qinhuai River, drink tea leisurely until noon, and then return to the palace."
"But if Your Majesty is only to be a hands-off shopkeeper, or a prince who travels ten miles at night to Qinhuai, I would have no choice but to stop here a long time ago."
"Oh haha…"
After hearing this, Zhu Di and Yao Guangxiao looked at each other and smiled.
The monarch and his ministers have been involved in the business of rebellion over the years, and there is no turning back.
Now, no one can stop the car!
Ask Cangmang, who is in charge of ups and downs?
The next day, the emperor issued an edict to establish Wenyuan Pavilion.
The prince was ordered to take charge of all affairs in Wenyuan Pavilion.
