On the second day, Lao Zhu left the palace and went to Yangshan to recuperate. He issued an edict and entrusted all state affairs to his grandson.
At the same time, Taisun Donggong officials were appointed, and the Donggong masters and guardians totaled six people.
Duke Feng Sheng of the Song Dynasty was the crown prince's Taishi, Ying Duke Fu Youde was the Prince's Taifu, and Liang Duke Lan Yu was the Prince's Taibao.
The Duke of Wei, Xu Huizu, was appointed as the Prince's Young Master, the founding Duke Chang was promoted to the Prince's Young Master, and the Marquis of Quanning, Sun Ke, was appointed as the Crown Prince's Young Master.
Six people entered the military affairs office at the same time to help handle military affairs.
The Advisory Office was headed by nearly ten civil servants including Liu Sanwu, Zhao Mian, and Yang Jing.
What is particularly eye-catching is that Yao Guangxiao, a monk in black, was also promoted to the Counselor's Office. Although he was not awarded a rank, he received the position of Counselor, which moved the government and the public.
There was also Zheng He, the former chief officer of the Jinling Military Academy. Due to his great achievements in pacifying the Japanese, he was promoted by His Highness Taisun to the post of Songjiang Prefect, and concurrently as the Songjiang Navy Chief, the Minister of Construction of the Magic City New City, and the Director of the Jiangnan Treasure Shipyard.
Because Zheng He was once a eunuch in Prince Yan's palace and had a low status before, but now he has risen to the top, he is naturally very eye-catching.
One emperor and one courtier.
The grandson supervises the country, and His Majesty the Emperor has expressly entrusted political affairs to him, so there is no need to report again.
Personnel changes are normal.
In addition to the two of them, there is also Xu Miaojin. As a twelve-year-old daughter, she was appointed as the general manager of the Technical Research and Manufacturing Bureau and was awarded a fifth-grade official, which made many ministers find it incredible.
A female doll became an official. This was a strange and strange thing that had never happened before.
Unexpectedly, Yushi Yanguan, who always likes to find mistakes and pick stones out of eggs, did not raise any objections to this appointment.
His Highness Taisun always behaves like a wild horse, and the more bizarre and weird things happen, the less they dare to interfere easily.
The example of the New Army is before our eyes, and Li Jinglong’s lessons are not far away!
There is another incident. Before leaving the palace, His Majesty the Emperor summoned Xu Dongjiang, the former prefect of Jiaxing.
Just when many people thought that Xu Dongjiang would be reused, an order came out and Xu Dongjiang was skinned and executed.
Many ministers were so shocked that their eyes dropped to the floor.
Later, when I inquired about it, I found out that Xu Dongjiang had closed the city gate tightly and prevented His Highness Taisun from entering the city, putting the prince in danger, and actually seeking death in a right way.
But Huang Zicheng has been locked up in Jinyiwei's prison.
His charges were kept secret.
It is not clear to the outside world what exactly he committed and whether it is related to Xu Dongjiang's conviction.
But his entire family was imprisoned, so it can be imagined that the crime he committed was not trivial.
Huang Zicheng was the leader of the Qing Dynasty in the court. His imprisonment immediately made many people panic, fearing that they would be implicated.
And this is exactly the effect Zhu Yunzhen wanted.
…
…
…
Directorate of Technical Research and Manufacturing.
Located in Jinling Shibafang, a special office has been set up.
In addition to Xu Miaojin, the fifth-grade chief officer, there are many ninth-grade junior officials in the Technical Research and Manufacturing Bureau.
They were all original craftsmen who were awarded official positions because they made considerable contributions in the research and manufacture of flintlocks, improved post-loading guns, fixed-loading ammunition and a series of other things.
The work he does remains the same, he is still a craftsman.
It's just that the salary has increased a lot.
In addition, His Highness Taisun also gave a large sum of money as a reward.
As a result, the enthusiasm of the craftsmen increased.
Today, Zhu Yunzhen came to the Technology Research and Manufacturing Bureau again.
The first step in reforming the currency is to solve the problem of counterfeit banknotes.
If counterfeit banknotes become widespread, no matter how much money is changed, it will be of no use.
This can only be done from two aspects.
The first is legal supervision. Those who make counterfeit banknotes will be severely punished and vigorous efforts will be made to eradicate the soil for counterfeit banknotes.
The second is to start from a technical perspective and improve anti-counterfeiting technology so that counterfeiters cannot create it.
The stakes are high.
Therefore, he personally came to the manufacturing bureau to assign tasks.
As soon as they arrived, they found that Yao Guangxiao, the counselor and supervisor of the "Hongwu Dadian", was also there.
"See His Highness Taisun!"
Yao Guangxiao hurriedly greeted him.
Zhu Yunzhen was a little curious and said with a smile: "You, a monk, have nothing to do, why do you come here to practice fasting?"
Yao Guangjiao laughed.
"There are some books in "Hongwu Dadian" that the poor monk wants to print more and publish them widely. However, printing and typesetting are complicated and expensive. I heard that there is a master craftsman in the Technology Research and Manufacturing Bureau, so I came here to ask for advice, or I can find a solution. I didn’t expect that I would meet His Highness Taisun by chance.”
I see.
Lightning flashed in Zhu Yunzhen's mind.
Suddenly remembering something, he immediately said to Yao Guangxiao: "I'll go with you."
The two of them walked together.
"Your Highness Taisun, the case of Huang Zicheng has been pending for a long time. I am afraid that the people in the court will be unstable. It is better to finalize the case as soon as possible to reassure people."
After just a few steps, Yao Guangxiao took this opportunity to give him some advice.
Zhu Yunxuan smiled lightly and said: "What I want is that their hearts are unstable and they are fearful and uneasy."
Yao Guangxiao's originally dull and sickly eyes suddenly lit up.
Immediately, he showed a look of confusion, bowed deeply and said, "The poor monk is confused, please give me some advice."
Zhu Yunzhen stopped and said in a concise tone: "I have discussed with Grandpa Huang that our old Zhu family shares the world with the common people, not with the nobles, nor with the civil servants."
If it were another person, he might have to say a lot for others to understand.
But Yao Guangxiao is a truly smart person.
One point is enough to see through.
When talking to him, there is no need to go into too many details, just get to the point.
As soon as these words came out, Yao Guangxiao was shocked all over, with a look of horror in his eyes: "Has His Highness Taisun really thought about it clearly? If this is true, in the future, His Highness Taisun will have to be careful every step in the court, and fight ten times. I coped with it with two cents of energy.”
Zhu Yunzhen smiled slightly and nodded lightly.
Since ancient times, emperors have used officials to rule the world, and they have naturally formed a community of consistent interests with the officials.
To consolidate the rule.
But he chose not to take the usual path.
Sharing the world with the people means that he will stand on the opposite side of the officials in the court.
Then he is truly a loner in the court.
This is already the case now.
Almost all the civil servants and military commanders were offended by him.
For those in power, this is a taboo.
If you want your power and position to be stable, you need the people below to support you.
Otherwise, power is like a flower in the water and the moon in the mirror.
Ministers all support a certain powerful official, and the emperor will become a puppet.
But Zhu Yunzhen didn't care at all.
It's not like he doesn't have any capital.
The first capital is the people.
The people all worship him as a god. Among the people at the bottom, he, the grandson of the emperor, has a very special status, and the people are willing to listen to him.
Spending so much effort to create gods and publicity is not in vain.
With his current prestige, as long as he calls, the people will respond.
The second capital is the new army.
In the army he built with his own hands, the soldiers were all his students. They worshiped him extremely and only followed his orders.
When necessary, he can use new troops to suppress them by force.
As time goes by and more guns are produced, the new army becomes stronger and stronger.
The third capital is the Technology Research and Manufacturing Bureau.
This is an old hen that can lay golden eggs.
Technological progress will inevitably bring about a series of changes, and he who masters advanced technology is inherently invincible.
The fourth capital is the supervisory agency headed by Jin Yiwei.
This piece still needs to be integrated, and he is still planning it.
Supervisory agencies, properly controlled, are the sharpest knives in their hands.
If you don't use it properly, you may hurt yourself, so you must be careful.
It has military power, popular support, technology, and special agents to monitor it.
With so many means, he didn't believe he could not defeat those interest groups.
"Wherever the Tao lies, even if there are thousands of people, I will go there." Zhu Yunxi looked at Yao Guangxiao and said, "You should be willing to help the orphan, right?"
"Since Your Highness Taisun has this ambition, I should do my best to help you."
Yao Guangxiao asked again: "But His Highness Taisun will use them after all, so how can they be with the people?"
"Although the military generals are powerful and powerful, in the eyes of the poor monks, their power is only temporary."
“Only by studying and governing the world can we bless countless future generations.”
"Governing a country and educating the people cannot do without scholars."
"Has His Highness the Grand Sun ever thought about this?"
To put it simply, scholars have a monopoly on knowledge.
If the emperor wants to govern the world, he cannot do without them.
Do you want to rely on the people?
Stand with the people?
Well, let’s see how you govern the country with illiteracy!
If not, then we can only stand together with the scholars and rule the world together.
This is the so-called "sharing the world with the scholar-bureaucrats".
"Of course I know it well." Zhu Yunzhen nodded and said: "This matter cannot be solved in one go, we can only figure it out slowly."
"But Gu has made up his mind. Let's go. Gu and you will take a look together. Maybe we can find a solution."
He smiled slightly.
There seems to be something in the words.
Yao Guangxiao was stunned for a moment and quickly followed.
