Before I knew it, it was getting dark.
Zhu Yunzhen ordered the eunuchs to light more candles to illuminate the entire Wenhua Palace.
Below, Huang Zicheng, Qi Tai, Liu Sanwu and other civil servants were still reviewing the memorial.
How could thousands of memorials be approved so quickly?
They also gradually became numb from the excitement at the beginning.
It is impossible to finish reviewing today.
But at this time, no one can back down.
Zhu Yunzhen was a little tired.
He stared at them here for a whole day while reviewing memorials. Although he was watching, eating, and having fun on his own, he was tired from watching them.
But at this time, it was hard for him to leave.
Otherwise, how can you show your diligence and hard work?
There was no other way, Zhu Yunzhen had no choice but to ask the eunuchs to get sheets and quilts.
The prince's chair is very spacious, and with his small body, he can lie down and sleep without any problem.
"Your Highness Taisun, this is the memorial that the officials have drafted in reply. Please review it and check it."
Huang Zicheng handed over a thick stack of memorials.
He felt extremely uncomfortable when he saw that Zhu Yunxuan had been doing nothing and staring at him from time to time.
We've finished reviewing, you still have to read it, don't be lazy.
He said secretly in his heart.
Zhu Yunzhen said: "I know, let's put it aside for now. When you have all finished reviewing, I will come back to check."
After saying that, he ordered the eunuchs to spread the sheets and quilts and fell asleep.
In the main hall, candlelight flickered.
A group of civil servants worked by candlelight and worked hard to review the memorials.
In fact, most of these memorials were used by them to incite officials to "embarrass" the emperor's grandson.
There isn't much substance, it's basically nonsense.
But at this time, they could only take it seriously and read it all.
After all, His Highness Taisun still needs to check.
If you are a little careless and are found out by inspection, you will lose the opportunity to "act on behalf of" the government in the future, which will be a big loss.
Therefore, they dare not and do not want to be careless in anything.
You can only write one letter at a time, in detail, and review it carefully.
In order to show that he is serious about his work, he does not even bother to eat or go to the toilet.
Sleeping was even less possible.
Each and every one of them held on for dear life.
He felt dizzy, his eyes were bloodshot, and his face became terrifying.
Above, Zhu Yunzhen slept soundly.
…
…
…
Royal study room.
Zhu Yuanzhang rarely has a free day today.
In the past, when Prince Zhu Biao was supervising the country's governance, Zhu Yuanzhang himself seldom rested.
He would personally take care of many things.
But this time Zhu Yunxian supervised the country, but Zhu Yuanzhang completely delegated power.
One is that he is indeed old, his body is not as good as before, and he can no longer bear it.
Another reason is to see what Zhu Yunzhen can do.
This grandson brought him too many surprises and accidents.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang was still very concerned about his movements.
After all, this was the first time Zhu Yunxun was allowed to supervise the country's governance, and he was still a seven-year-old child.
"Your Majesty, the Emperor's grandson is still in the Wenhua Hall, leading a group of ministers, reviewing memorials and taking care of state affairs."
The young eunuch who went to inquire about the situation came in and reported back.
"It's so late and I'm still reviewing memorials. It's so hard." Zhu Yuanzhang sighed.
He is indeed his great grandson.
Although he said he wanted to lie back and have fun, once he was asked to supervise the country's governance, he immediately became serious and responsible.
He is only seven years old, can his body bear it?
For a moment, Lao Zhu was moved, proud, and worried at the same time.
How can you not be touched that your grandson works so hard just so that his grandfather can have a good rest and not have to worry about state affairs?
How could he not be proud to have such a smart, diligent, sensible, and filial grandson?
But thinking about Zhu Yunzhen's body and thinking about him still working so late at night, he couldn't help but worry.
However, if Lao Zhu knew that Zhu Yunzhen was fast asleep in the Wenhua Hall at this moment, he would not know what to think.
The little eunuch only inquired outside and didn't know what was going on inside.
After all, Zhu Yunzhen led the ministers to review the memorial, and other people were not allowed to enter.
Moreover, Lao Zhu originally ordered him to inquire quietly and not to disturb his grandson's office.
Seeing that the lights in the Wenhua Hall were brightly lit, and that the grandson and the ministers were still inside and had not come out, they naturally concluded that they were working hard to manage the government.
"The child has to grow up. Supervising the country is not an easy task, and he also needs to suffer some hardships."
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were about to burst into tears.
But I also thought that only by enduring hardship can one become a master.
Thousands of miles of country, huge responsibilities.
You always have to grit your teeth to be able to bear it.
Lao Zhu himself is a very hard-working person.
Therefore, I also ask the younger generations to do the same.
He ordered: "Ask the imperial kitchen to prepare some food that Er'er likes to eat, and send it over immediately after Er'er has finished handling the government affairs."
This is the only way he can care.
But little did he know that Zhu Yunzhen had already eaten well and slept comfortably.
…
…
…
Early the next morning, Zhu Yunzhen stretched and woke up.
I didn’t expect that I could sleep so soundly while sleeping on a chair in the Wenhua Hall.
The palace maids and eunuchs were busy waiting on her.
Soon, the washing was completed.
He then returned to his chair and looked down at the civil servants working all night long.
They all had dark circles under their eyes and their eyes were bloodshot, making them look a bit scary.
"Your Highness Taisun, I have finished reviewing the memorial. I would like to ask Your Highness Taisun to check and review it."
Liu Sanwu, Huang Zicheng, Qi Tai and others presented the approved memorials in turn.
not bad.
I have finished reading so many memorials.
powerful!
Zhu Yunzhen admired in his heart.
The speed with which these civil servants reviewed and processed memorials was really impressive.
If it were him, he wouldn't be able to finish it in less than ten days and a half.
But these people actually completed the approval in just one day and one night, which is really impressive.
Is it my turn next?
Zhu Yunxuan picked up a memorial and read it.
There are more than one review slips inside.
But the words written on the notes are all the same.
"knew!"
"good!"
"I got it!"
…
It turned out that this was a congratulatory form, eloquent and containing thousands of words, but the content was to congratulate him on becoming a grandson.
Reading this memorial is a waste of time, but luckily I didn’t.
Zhu Yunzhen randomly selected a few more books, flipped through them casually, and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work, sirs."
"I think that although there are many memorials, they can generally be used to commemorate events, pay greetings, express gratitude, and express congratulations."
"It can also be divided into those for Beijing officials and those for local governments."
"I would like to trouble you, my lords, to sort them into different categories. I will review them again."
As soon as these words came out, the civil servants below suddenly looked at each other.
Originally, I wanted to see him make a fool of himself and see how he could review and inspect these thousands of memorials.
Unexpectedly, the ball was kicked back to them.
But there is no other way. For this reason, they really can't find fault.
I can only blame myself in my heart, why didn't I tell you earlier?
Otherwise, we would have sorted them into different categories as early as possible!
I was thinking in my heart, but of course I didn't dare to say it out loud, so I had to organize it according to what Zhu Yunxu said.
Fortunately, I had reviewed it before, and now I can sort it out quickly. After spending more than half an hour, I finally got it all sorted.
More than 900 letters were sent to express greetings, thanks and congratulations.
There are not even a hundred memorials that actually address the matter.
Among them, only more than ten were awarded by local officials.
Zhu Yunzhen threw aside the memorials such as greetings, thanks, and congratulations. He only picked the memorial and read it.
What he focused on was not the content of the memorial, but the comments of the civil officials.
After all, the content of the memorial can often be hundreds or thousands of words, but the content of the review is often only a few words or dozens of words, which is very simple and clear.
They also have no time or energy to write more review content.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to review these memorials in one day and one night.
For those officials who had unanimous opinions and had no objections, Zhu Yunxuan randomly selected one person and used Zhu Yuanzhi to approve it.
This category accounts for more than 90%.
Because most of the memorials were submitted by officials from the capital, and they were not of any major importance, there was naturally little controversy.
As for the memorials played by local officials, half of them are so-called auspicious things, or some trivial matters.
There were only a few memorials that he really needed to read carefully.
Soon, under the astonished and incomprehensible eyes of the civil servants below, Zhu Yunxuan finished reading the memorial and highlighted the comments that he was satisfied with.
Occasionally I also write a few strokes by hand.
"Okay, thank you, send a congratulatory note, say hello, just state your name and record it. I won't read it anymore."
"I have read the memorial and your review."
"Everyone has worked hard. Let's take a good rest. Today we have to review the memorials. The government affairs are heavy, so I'll leave it to you. I'll go see the emperor now and report the memorial."
Hearing these words, Huang Zicheng, Qi Tai and others almost spit out a mouthful of old blood.
They worked hard all day and night, without sleeping or resting, or even taking care of eating. But he finished it all in less than half an hour?
I originally thought that although I and others had worked hard, His Highness the Grand Sun would still have to be reviewed and inspected in the end, and they still couldn't escape. I wanted to see how he would end up?
Unexpectedly, this is the result?
But they couldn't blame them.
Because Zhu Yunzhen's handling was really fine.
Even if he reports it to Lao Zhu, Lao Zhu will probably support his arrangement.
But they...
By this time, these civil servants also came to their senses.
The idea of "acting on behalf of the government" is just to tease them.
The purpose was to trick them into actively helping review these memorials.
But there is only hard work and no credit at all.
Because in the end the real reviewer was Zhu Yunzhen, not them.
Zhu Yunxuan adopted or did not adopt the opinions they proposed at will.
They don't even know who has adopted it and who has not.
They were not even given a chance to discuss.
I haven't slept all night and can't rest today.
After all, who asked them to be slow and spend all night processing the memorial.
Today’s new memorial must be dealt with after all, right?
All the civil servants looked at me cross-eyed with dark circles under their eyes. I look at you and I can't tell you how hard I am.
Zhu Yunzhen didn't care about this, picked up a few more important memorials, left the Wenhua Hall, and went to report to Lao Zhu.
In the main hall, after he left, Huang Zicheng, Qi Tai and others were all sitting there with dull expressions.
They were exhausted and weak.
People are tired.
My heart is even more tired!
Being played.
Got fooled.
I was so angry!
"Quick, send someone to inform our people, stop signing memorials blindly, stop! Quick... quick... stop... stop."
Huang Zicheng was tired, panicked and weak, and even spoke in a garrulous manner.
