Zhu Jianshen just played in the palace every day and did not have to manage anything. However, his father Zhu Qizhen, whom he had always worried about, did not come back until five years after Chenghua.
No one in the court seemed willing to mention the Emperor, and the Queen Mother also knew what the ministers were worried about. The grandson grew up day by day, understood more and more things, and was quite popular in the court.
He was familiar with scriptures when he was just seven years old, and he had unique insights in governing national affairs. Although he was immature, his ideas were unique. Several bachelors were full of praise. And because Zhu Jianshen restructured the pension system at the end of the Beijing Defense War, and established The stele eulogizes his merits and captures the military commander's noble heart. Even when the soldiers below mention Zhu Jianshen, they give him a thumbs up, "This emperor is good."
Although Zhu Jianshen still often asked when his father would come back, the Minister of Rites, Dali Temple, and even the cabinet began to praise Xu Youzhen's constellation technique. The two dragons did not meet each other. If they met, they would probably stir up excitement in the inner palace. Father and son kill each other.
The words of these officials shocked the Empress Dowager Sun.
She also understands that Wuqing is the emperor's family.
Zhu Jianshen could not harm Zhu Qizhen, but if Zhu Qizhen had evil intentions and harmed Zhu Jianshen, it would really be the misfortune of the Ming Dynasty.
Because the matter was so important, Empress Dowager Sun did not dare to make the decision to welcome Zhu Qizhen back without permission.
Anyway, his son's life is no longer in danger, so it's better to take it slow.
In the Yangxin Hall, a child wearing a dragon robe is sitting on a dragon chair, holding a Ru porcelain pot from Ruzhou in his hand.
It's good to be an emperor, and you don't have to spend a lot of time. You only need to tell the eunuch below, and this fine Ru porcelain will be in your hands immediately.
Zhu Jianshen's fondness for porcelain is not unusual in the inner palace.
The little emperor was diligent and studious, and had no hobbies. Until one day in the cabinet, he saw a porcelain vase placed on Li Xian's desk, and looked at it for a long time.
The porcelain vase on Li Xian's table is Ru porcelain.
Zhu Jianshen was attracted by the crystal clearness of Ru porcelain.
Since then, Zhu Jianshen began to collect porcelain. In the Yangxin Hall, there are no less than a hundred pieces of various porcelain.
The ministers didn't say much about the little emperor's hobby. He didn't discover the beauty of porcelain until he was in his thirties, but the little emperor discovered it when he was only seven years old and was able to calm down and observe it for a long time.
Drinking tea can nourish your character. In fact, playing with porcelain bottles can also achieve the purpose of nourishing your character, as long as you don’t put too much energy on it.
Even though Zhu Jianshen started collecting porcelain, he did not change much. He was still diligent and studious, and he never skipped a court meeting.
This leaves civil and military officials with no chance to fish in troubled waters.
From the third year of Chenghua to the present, for more than two years, the young emperor has not been absent from a court meeting. In the history of the Ming Dynasty, only Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang could do this.
"Your Majesty, the time has come. Please put your treasure away." The eunuch Zhang Bao beside him said softly.
Zhang Bao served Zhu Jianshen for two years and was also a eunuch carefully selected by Empress Dowager Sun. Because of Wang Zhen's incident, the eunuch was also suppressed.
Although Zhang Bao holds the jade seal, he is also a eunuch holding a pen.
According to convention, it should be a high-power but confidential matter. After the cabinet was drafted, it was handed over to the Chief of Ceremonies and asked to be sealed. Zhang Bao had no say at all, and if the little emperor had his own They all went to the cabinet in person to interview Yu Qian, Li Xian and others. There was no need for Zhang Bao at all, so Zhang Bao's position was empty and he was just a tool. Of course, this was in line with the old system.
Zhu Jianshen nodded after hearing this and handed his treasure to Zhang Bao.
After Zhang Bao took it, he gave it to a young eunuch on the side and warned: "Be careful, this is your majesty's favorite thing."
"Yes." The little eunuch came down.
Zhang Bao smiled again and said to Zhu Jianshen: "Your Majesty, let's get started."
Zhu Jianshen closed his eyes and nodded.
Zhang Bao stepped forward, picked up the question book on the dragon case and began to read.
The inscriptions and memorials were used by officials in the Ming and Qing dynasties to write letters.
In the 20th year of Yongle's reign, it was stipulated that officials in various departments who had urgent matters and were unable to make presentations in person were required to write in the form of inscriptions. For official matters, the inscriptions were used, while for private matters, the memorials were used. In the Qing Dynasty, the Ming system was also used. Every government office inside and outside Beijing has a book of inscriptions for official business.
The well-known memorials were only produced during the Kangxi period, but at that time only the emperor's cronies could use memorials. It was not until the reign of Guangxu that memorials were completely abolished, and memorials were used for all title books.
When he was five years old, Zhu Jianshen would listen to Zhang Bao read the memorial and title in detail before going to bed, which could be considered as understanding of what was happening in this country. However, Zhu Jianshen had a resolute temperament. Even if he was boring, he would never read in two years. There was a break, and even if I felt unwell at times, I would persevere.
However, some of the question books were indeed too long. Zhang Bao read for half an hour before saying one thing, which made Zhu Jianshen a little troublesome.
Thinking of this, Zhu Jianshen couldn't help but think of a minister from the period of his ancestor, Emperor Hongwu.
He wrote a memorial of more than 17,000 words to Zhu Yuanzhang.
There were so many wonderful words and hidden treasures in the memorial that Zhu Yuanzhang was so dazzled that he didn't even see what the minister wanted to express. He immediately asked the ministers around him to read it. After reading ten thousand words, there was still nothing. What do you understand? This made Zhu Yuanzhang very angry. He called the minister over and beat him severely. Then he asked a close minister to read it. From more than 16,500 words to the end, 500 words, the minister mentioned Five suggestions were made. Because these suggestions were forward-looking, Zhu Yuanzhang also adopted three.
It can be seen that the inscriptions and memorials written by the officials were to show all the ink in their chests and show their talents to the emperor, regardless of whether the emperor could read the nonsense.
After Zhu Jianshen listened to the instructions from the inscription and the cabinet for a long time, he prepared to rest. There will be an early morning court tomorrow.
Before going to bed, go to your collection table to look at your cherished collections.
In the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
The civil and military officials knelt down, and Zhu Jianshen sat on the dragon chair and shouted: "I am flat."
In the fourth year since Chenghua, when Zhu Jianshen reached the age of six, the Empress Dowager Sun never came to the court to listen to politics again, because she was not greedy for power, and the cabinet was responsible for confidential affairs. The most important thing was that Zhu Jianshen was calm and had nothing to do with anything. Listening to the ministers, they rarely express their own opinions.
The six ministerial books have been completed and the cabinet is fully operational.
The end of the Beijing Defense War can be said to have preserved the peace of the Ming Dynasty for twenty years, that is, peace for a generation.
In this environment without external pressure, Ming Dynasty's national power gradually recovered under the management of Li Xian, Yu Qian and others.
