Zhu Yunzhen was in a good mood.
Zhu Yunwen's matter was settled, and I got Lao Zhu's permission to write the book.
He will soon supervise the country and handle state affairs as the emperor's grandson.
From these, we can show our strength and transform the Ming Dynasty in all aspects.
But this good mood did not last long.
Soon, a big blow came!
He also experienced what it means to "cheat his father", oh, no, "cheating himself".
The procedures for officially registering a grandson are very complicated, and announcing the crown prince in the court is just a prelude.
Next, there are very complicated rituals, offering sacrifices to heaven and earth, the ancestral temple, and the country.
Just standing there listening to the memorial service and continuing to salute, salute, and salute as required, Zhu Yunzhen felt his whole body numb.
Feudal ethics are indeed cannibalistic. Just this set of complex and complicated etiquette can torture people to death.
He is only seven years old, and his small body really cannot bear it.
Finally it was over, and the eunuch took out the imperial edict again.
"I am old and frail, and the affairs of the country are heavy and difficult to bear. I cannot ignore the important affairs of the country, and I cannot stay idle for a long time. I hereby order the emperor's grandson to ascend to the Wenhua Palace with the seal, to be in charge of the common affairs, to provide for the army and to supervise the country. All matters reported by the Secretary shall be resolved by the Emperor Taisun."
Zhu Yunxuan accepted the order and breathed a sigh of relief.
From now on, we will start to monitor the country!
But he never imagined that this was just the beginning.
When he formally entered the Wenhua Hall and began to handle government affairs, he was immediately stunned by the mountain of memorials.
"Is this the memorial presented by the officials today?" Zhu Yunzhen rubbed his eyes, a little unbelievable.
This **** split him in half, one person became two people, and it was impossible to finish watching it!
Not to mention the review and processing.
Zhu Yunzhen was helpless and sat down in front of the case. After being stunned for a long time, he picked up a memorial and started reading.
No matter what, you have to work.
But then, his head got bigger.
The memorial is written very elegantly. To put it simply, it is a lot of nonsense and not much business.
But that's not all.
The most important thing is that there are many uncommon words in the memorial, there are no punctuation marks, and the sentences are not separated at all.
All right.
In his previous life, he had learned traditional Chinese characters because he practiced calligraphy, and his level was not too bad.
Ancient Chinese literature is also covered.
Although he is only seven years old in this life, he is still a child of the royal family. He started reading and learning calligraphy at the age of three, and he already knows a lot of words.
After traveling through time, the memories of the two lives were combined and improved even more.
It is a bit difficult to read these memorials, but I can still understand them.
But without punctuation marks, the reading speed immediately dropped by more than half.
In fact, punctuation marks existed long ago in ancient times, but they were not commonly used or standardized.
Most of the time, literati prefer to use modal particles such as "Zhihuzheye" to break up sentences.
When scholars begin to read and practice calligraphy, the first step is to "read clear sentences."
That means figuring out where to break the sentence.
After reading a memorial, Zhu Yunzhen sat there blankly.
who I am?
Where do I come from?
Where am I going?
He had already asked three questions about life unconsciously.
This memorial makes excellent use of nonsense literature. It can clearly explain things in a few words, but it contains a lot of words.
He looked so tired!
But what can be done?
For this issue, it is said that Lao Zhu also gave repeated orders to his ministers not to write memorials like this, to talk about things when they have something to say, and not to talk nonsense.
But these scholars didn’t listen!
Lao Zhu did not hesitate to write an imperial edict in vernacular, hoping that they would understand how to speak correctly.
But it still didn't work.
The nonsense in the memorial has not diminished.
In the end, even Lao Zhu lamented that he had no choice but to suffer and spend more time reading the memorial.
After all, these scholars are still left to govern the world.
You can't use illiterate people who don't know how to read, right?
They can’t write a memorial either!
Lao Zhu couldn't solve the problem. Now he has just taken charge of the country's governance, so what can he do?
He was originally very ambitious, thinking about setting up a military academy, compiling the "Hongwu Grand Canon", writing a book to pass down to the world, and starting modern civilization.
Countless ideas and countless grand plans were ruthlessly extinguished at this moment.
Now it seems that just finishing reviewing the memorial is an impossible task.
Let alone doing other things.
Numb.
Really numb.
I am still a seven-year-old child, and I still want to enjoy a good life!
This is simply too much for me to bear.
This time, Zhu Yunzhen really wanted to cry without tears.
This means I can’t even finish 996!
Capitalists are not so ruthless!
Not to mention he is still a "child laborer".
Zhu Yunzhen reluctantly picked up the second memorial.
What should I do if I can’t finish watching it?
There seems to be nothing we can do.
I can only look at a little bit and forget about it.
At this moment, another official from the General Affairs Department came in.
"Your Highness, this is the newly delivered memorial."
Zhu Yunzhen looked up and saw that the official was holding a thick stack of memorials, about as thick as a foot.
Snapped!
The pen in his hand fell to the ground.
At this moment, he really wanted to die.
Is this what it means to be the grandson of the Ming Emperor?
Is this supervision of the country’s governance?
Submerged in the memorial, buried in the text!
Where is my wonderful life?
Where is my break?
Where is my culture and entertainment?
Zhu Yunzhen asked with a trembling voice: "Did Grandpa Huang have to review so many memorials every day?"
He couldn't believe it.
Is Lao Zhu a robot?
Don't you need to rest?
How did he read through so many memorials?
How could he still have time to chat with his grandson?
"Your Majesty has always been diligent in political affairs, and it is only when he is with His Highness the Grand Sun that he rarely relaxes."
"After His Majesty the Grand Sun leaves, His Majesty will spend more time reviewing memorials, and he will not rest until late at night every day."
"Your Majesty reviews the memorials every day, ranging from more than two hundred to five or six hundred."
this……
Zhu Yunzhen didn't know whether to admire or vomit.
Others become emperors for enjoyment, but does Lao Zhu become emperor for the sake of being a model worker?
what do I do?
Reviewing hundreds of memorials a day, what kind of workload is this?
Even model workers can’t compare!
Moreover, with Zhu Yunzhen's reading speed, even if he didn't eat, sleep or rest, and read non-stop, it would be impossible to read hundreds of memorials in one day!
Not to mention reviewing, thinking, and proposing solutions.
Unexpectedly, another official from the General Affairs Department came in at this time.
"Your Highness Taisun, a new memorial has been handed over."
In his hand, he also held a thick stack of memorials.
Zhu Yunzhen was stunned there.
wrong.
Suddenly there was lightning and thunder in his mind.
"How many memorials were submitted today?"
he asked.
"Reporting to the Emperor's Grandson, there are a lot of memorials today. More than 700 memorials were delivered early in the morning. Adding in the new ones, the total number of memorials has reached more than a thousand. There may be new memorials coming later."
Zhu Yunxuan's expression changed slightly, and he asked again: "Has there ever been so many memorials in one day before?"
The official of the General Affairs Department thought for a moment and said: "Xiaguan has been in the General Affairs Department for more than ten years. Generally, the number of memorials per day is around two hundred, and occasionally more. But at most, it is only three or four hundred. One. There are more than a thousand memorials in one day, which is truly unprecedented."
When Zhu Yunzhen heard this, he couldn't understand why.
This must be a deliberate trick by those civil servants.
They were extremely dissatisfied with the appointment of themselves as the emperor's grandson.
But because they requested it themselves, they shot themselves in the foot, so they could not openly oppose it, so they could only use this underhanded method.
They deliberately wrote memorials desperately, hoping to drown them with memorials.
Many officials have their own staff, so writing memorials is easy and effortless.
If he can't handle it, then they can take the opportunity to say that the grandson is incapable of supervising the country's governance and can't even review the memorials. How will he inherit the throne and govern the world in the future?
If he is already the emperor, this will naturally be fine.
If you can’t finish it, you can’t finish it.
During the Ming Dynasty, most of the subsequent emperors did not even read memorials.
Just pick a few important ones and look at them occasionally.
Most of the memorials were directly drafted by the cabinet, and approved by the Supervisor of Ceremonies.
The emperor did not look good at all, and his life was extremely comfortable.
The government also operates in the same way.
But he can't.
He is still just the crown prince.
Not the emperor.
Lao Zhu is a model worker, and the memorial must be dealt with, and political affairs must not be delayed.
Otherwise, there would be no way to communicate with Lao Zhu.
So what to do?
For a while, I really couldn’t think of a way to do it.
This is a conspiracy.
But he was still helpless.
Perhaps, the only option is to "surrender"?
Please ask the great scholars to help?
To neutralize their offensive.
Zhu Yunzhen thought in his mind, but quickly rejected the idea.
No, we must not let these people succeed.
What's more, these people have already "carried" him.
Even if he admits defeat, the opponent may not "pull back".
Zhu Yunxun's thoughts were racing, and gradually, a bold idea came to his mind.
