Wanli Youming

Chapter 3 Learning to Govern
Sun Hai smiled and reported to Zhu Yijun: "Because the emperor completed the banquet today, the empress was very happy when she found out, and rewarded us with golden leaves. But we know that this is also the grace brought by the emperor. So, Those of us who served the emperor before discussed to wait here at the emperor's place, waiting to thank the emperor."

After speaking, Sun Hai ordered the servants of the Wei Dynasty: "Kowtow!"

Zhu Yijun was greeted by these people: "Get up!"

"Hey!"

Sun Hai stood up after agreeing.

At that time, Wei Chao also took out a small bamboo pot from his sleeve, walked up to Zhu Yijun, and said with a smile: "The emperor asked the servants to find good crickets the day before yesterday, and the servants found them while they were out of the palace. Want to see it?"

Sun Hai frowned when he saw Wei Chao courting Zhu Yijun with crickets, and then looked at Zhu Yijun.

Zhu Yijun's expression was calm, and he stretched out his hand: "Give it to me, there is no need to open it."

Wei Chao held the jar to Zhu Yijun with both hands.

Zhu Yijun took it and went into his bedroom.

Naturally, Zhu Yijun didn't find it fun to play with crickets.

As a person from the 21st century, the entertainment he has experienced is completely incomparable to this era, so playing games like crickets simply cannot reach the threshold to make him lose his mind.

Therefore, Zhu Yijun just dealt with the cricket properly, and then went to the study, and flipped through the manuscript.

Because Empress Dowager Li did not directly listen to the government behind the curtain, strictly speaking, Zhu Yijun was not a puppet who was completely manipulated at will.

In name, he was also the supreme ruler of Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, the title book of memorials will still be sent to him by the supervisor of ceremonies.

The so-called memorials are equivalent to officials making private suggestions to the emperor. Generally speaking, when private people make suggestions to the emperor, they can talk not only about their own scope of duties, but also about other things such as military affairs, official administration, etc., such as Hai Rui. He once privately told Jiajing that Jiajing exploited the people too much.

The title book is about the affairs that the official office is responsible for, which is equivalent to reporting the work to the emperor in the name of the unit.

Zoushu titles are often collectively referred to as chapters.

Zhu Yijun also knew about this.

However, Zhu Yijun can only read these chapters now, but he can't review these chapters according to his own wishes, and can only draft them with Zhang Juzheng's ticket, and let the supervisor of ceremonies approve them.

Because once Zhu Yijun forced himself to hold a Zhubi to review the chapters, it was equivalent to him, the emperor, not trusting Zhang Juzheng, the chief assistant, and Zhang Juzheng had no choice but to resign.

Zhu Yijun naturally didn't dare to do this, after all Empress Dowager Li preferred Zhang Juzheng as the chief assistant, once he offended Zhang Juzheng, it would be tantamount to offending his mother.

Therefore, Zhu Yijun can only take a look at it now, at most he will ask Zhang Juzheng why he did this in the Wenhua Palace tomorrow, and then put forward his own opinion.

Although he could only look at it, Zhu Yijun still planned to take a closer look.

The reason is that he wants to see how Zhang Juzheng governs the country and makes decisions!
To be honest, Zhu Yijun is actually a little timid about managing such a huge empire.

Because he had also been a small boss who managed people in his previous life, he naturally knew the difficulty of managing people.

Therefore, Zhu Yijun really intends to learn from this ancient name of physiognomy, learn how he only uses copy documents, and then implements it through thousands of wise and stupid civil servants and bureaucrats inside and outside, so as to initiate a vigorous Wanli reform of.

And it was very successful.

You know, Zhang Juzheng's implementation of the government of clearing Zhang Zhang's farmland alone, according to historical records, has cleared Zhang Zhang to give out hundreds of millions of mu of land. How much tax will this increase for Daming?

The management difficulty here is not small.

Of course, it was also because Zhang Juzheng implemented the Wanli New Deal so well that later when the civil servants ordered to raid his family, they didn’t care about the class feelings of fellow scholar-bureaucrats, and directly imprisoned more than [-] of his family members and starved to death. Forced his eldest son to commit suicide.

It can be seen how much Zhang Juzheng was hated by the bureaucracy later.

With a learning mentality, Zhu Yijun watched these chapters carefully, and at the same time took out a blank imperial note to take notes.

There are two kinds of chapters sent to the imperial court, one is the memorial book just received by the clerk from Zuoshunmen and the Secretary of General Administration, and there is no invoice, that is, the chapter is sent to the cabinet for drafting, and the other is the chapter that has been drafted by the cabinet. The chapters proposed by the ticket.

Zhu Yijun naturally read the chapters that had been drafted by the cabinet.

While Zhu Yijun was seriously reading the memorial, Wei Chao, the deacon and eunuch of the Qianqing Palace, hurried over to Feng Bao, the supervisor of ceremonies, after presenting the crickets to him.

Feng Bao was approving the pre-signed drafts sent from the Emperor's Qianqing Palace.

As the eunuch in charge of the official seal and the admiral of the eunuch of the East Factory, Feng Bao not only controlled the power of apprehension in the East Factory, but also the power of the Supervisor of Ceremonies to approve reds.

But when Wei Chao came to Feng Bao, Feng Bao didn't see him, but met another eunuch named Zhang Dashou first.

Zhang Dashou is also Feng Bao's confidant, and he is in charge of the most critical document room for communication with the foreign court.

Moreover, Zhang Dashou was personally informed by Feng Bao.

At this time, after Zhang Dashou arrived, Feng Bao put down the ink brush and said: "The emperor used to have to go to our family to wake him up in person, and sometimes he couldn't wake up, so he had to hug him and shake him up first." , and even in the cold weather, he stayed in bed until his wife went to drink him in person before he would get up. Why did he get up by himself today? Does the emperor himself know that today is a sutra feast and he is showing his face to the outside world? Critical day?"

Zhang Dashou said with a smile: "It's all because of the wise ancestors, who often advised the emperor with the principles of saints, so that the emperor knows the etiquette and studies hard!"

Because Zhang Dashhou was his confidant, Feng Bao said in a low voice: "It's just that this has suddenly become too sensible! At the Sutra Banquet, he was much more serious than he used to listen to the lectures in Wenhua Palace, and his demeanor was more graceful and correct! As a result, the eyes of many civil servants are red."

As he said that, Feng Bao ordered Zhang Dashou: "Go and find out, what did the luncheon manager say? Did any of these civil servants say any gossip about our family?"

"Yes!"

Zhang Dashou agreed.

"come in!"

After Feng Bao gave this order, he let Zhang Dashou leave the Supervisor of Ceremonies, and then passed the news to Wei Chao to come in.

As soon as Wei Chao came in, he knelt down to Feng Bao: "Greetings to our ancestors!"

Feng Bao didn't raise his head, he just continued to wave the ink brush in his hand and asked, "Has the emperor accepted the crickets?"

Wei Chao replied: "Yes, old ancestor!"

Feng Bao laughed after hearing this: "That's fine. Do you remember what our family told you?"

"Remember!"

Wei Chao replied.

"Repeat!"

"Yes!"

"The old ancestor said, try to make the emperor do something happy, don't worry about the displeasure of the two queen mothers, even if the son is severely punished by the old ancestor, the emperor will definitely think of his son in the future, and he will be angry because he can't. Protecting your son has a heart of guilt towards his son, so he will reuse his son after taking office. This is an opportunity for the ancestors to give his son the favor of the emperor in the future."

Wei Chao replied.

"Very good! Our family is going to the Empress Dowager of the Second Palace now. You have to watch your mouth carefully, otherwise, what is waiting for you will not be kicked out, but a coffin!"

Feng Bao said with a smile.

Wei Chao hurriedly said: "My son understands!"

Feng Bao left his ceremonial supervisor's room and came to Empress Dowager Li.
