My Daming New Empire

Although Zhu Di was a little embarrassed when he saw Zhu Zhanji checking the accounts.

But for him, what is embarrassing is that his grandson was affected because of his own reasons, not because he embezzled bank money at will for military expenses.

The world is his, and he should do whatever he wants.

I'm sorry, but when he entered the inner room, he had already disappeared, and his mentality readjusted. "The dog stays, and the others wait to retreat."

As soon as he said that, Jin Kuo, who had come in behind Zhu Zhanji, just hesitated for a moment, and took Sun Lin to leave.

Zhu Di thought for a while and said, "Jin Kuo and Sun..."

Zhu Zhanji continued: "Sun Lin, the young supervisor Pinzhi, is now supervising the affairs of the Counseling Department for his grandson."

Zhu Di sized up Sun Lin's thin face, and then said: "The Counseling Department has done a lot in the past two years. Whether it is the Jinyiwei or the Sixth Division, there are many memorials for complaints, all of which have been suppressed by me. down."

Sun Lin knelt down and said, "The slaves are His Royal Highness's eagle dogs, they are only loyal to the Emperor, loyal to His Highness, and are not afraid of people's words."

Zhu Di smiled and said: "If you want to be a lonely minister, this road is not easy..."

Sun Lin knelt down on the ground and said without raising his head: "It's a great fortune for your servant to be favored by His Highness, how can you be so condescending."

"It's commendable, get up, you stay, and the others step down. Zhan Ji, sit down..."

Zhu Zhanji heard that he didn't sit opposite Zhu Di, but sat down beside him, and took another pillow to cushion his back. "Grandpa Huang didn't watch a big show tonight? It's freezing cold, and you're going out in the wind. Be careful of your knees hurting."

Zhu Di especially enjoyed Zhu Zhanji's non-distance nagging, and said with a smile: "How can I be so delicate! I will lead an army to go out in the spring, don't treat me as a Liuli person."

This war madman now only cares about the Western Expedition.Zhu Zhanji conquered Dongying and left behind a good name through the ages. Of course, Zhu Di didn't want to fall behind his grandson. Compared with Zhu Zhanji, he paid more attention to the fame before and after.

"I've been busy these past few days, but I haven't learned about the Western Expedition yet. Have you made any preparations now?"

"Everything is ready, I only owe Dongfeng." Zhu Di let out a long sigh of relief, looked up at his grandson slightly and asked, "I don't think you have anything to do with the court meeting these few days, but regarding the development of Nanzhou, are you responsible?" The initiator, of course, wouldn't be careless, right?"

Zhu Zhanji said with a smile: "Politics is nothing more than compromise and balance. It has been nearly two years since the discovery of Nanzhou. Because of the grandson, this matter is only now resolved. Naturally, all parties are fully prepared. Now it’s just making muddy mud, there’s no need for grandson to worry about it.”

Zhu Di laughed and said: "You can see it clearly, but it's a pity that your father is still looking for civil servants."

Zhu Zhanji said with a smile: "My father is deeply influenced by Confucianism, but it is not without benefits. In the first two years in Beiping, my father did a good job and managed Beiping in an orderly manner. The so-called politics mainly lies in a governance Words, civil servants still have many advantages in this regard."

Zhu Di glanced at him sideways and asked, "Then why did you recruit thousands of artisans from Xiyi? Isn't this digging the roots of Confucianism?"

Zhu Zhanji froze for a moment, then fell into deep thought.Although he recruited thousands of craftsmen and literati from the West, this was because he felt that the West had always had advantages in architecture, geometry, and mathematics. He wanted to integrate Eastern culture and integrate civilizations before Europe.

But about the deeper meaning, he didn't think about it.

Now after hearing Zhu Di's words, he suddenly realized that his actions were equivalent to introducing the impact of other civilizations and destroying the influence of Confucianism!

A matter that he didn't even think about, now Zhu Di directly saw the essence, and directly reminded Zhu Zhanji not to underestimate others, and this matter should be treated with more caution.

Seeing Zhu Zhanji meditating, Zhu Di didn't bother him, sat up straight, and picked up a cup of fragrant tea on the table at hand.

Zhu Zhanji sorted out his thoughts, and said: "Although most civil servants come from Confucianism, civil servants and Confucianism should be treated differently. It doesn't mean that they can be literate and they must be Confucianism."

Zhu Di nodded, and Zhu Zhanji said again: "Although there are some literati and artists in this group of Xiyi people, they are still mainly craftsmen. They have their own unique and long history in terms of architecture and statues. Where is the grandson? I saw that they built an arena that could accommodate 9 people in the Han Dynasty, and the architectural design that relied on refraction and sound amplification, which I thought was very advanced. I also asked many craftsmen, and they all thought that building An arena with a capacity of 10 people is not difficult."

"An arena with 10 people, and a sound amplification design?" Zhu Di pondered for a while and said, "This really aroused my curiosity. If there is such a venue, I will give you a lot of rewards for military parades, expeditions, and rewards." It can be held there. Showing your face in front of 10 people is more impressive than Fengtian Temple."

This time it was Zhu Zhanji's turn to be speechless. He never thought that Zhu Di would regard a stadium as a place to show off his martial arts.

But in this way, no one would object to building a large stadium.

From Zhu Zhanji's answer, Zhu Di also felt that his grandson didn't intend to poach the corner of Confucianism at all, let alone use these Xiyi people to attack Confucianism. Although he has no special support for Confucianism today. , but also quite heavily.

That's right, anyway, Confucianism is good for the stability of the imperial power.Even if we want to support competition, it is better to bring out all the schools of thought to compete with Confucianism. These Xiyi people are aliens after all!

He changed the subject again and said, "Then what do you think about the development of Nanzhou?"

For a while, Zhu Zhanji was not used to Zhu Di's questioning like this. For a long time, no one could walk with his own thoughts like this.

But he is a grandfather, he is the emperor, Zhu Zhanji can only follow along.

After thinking about it, Zhu Zhanji said: "Nanzhou and some islands in Nanyang are bigger than Ming Dynasty. What's more, my grandson went to Xizhou this time and found a lot of gold mines in the south of Xizhou. Nanzhou is short of people. More troops had to be deployed at the beginning, so this part of the benefits had to be given to nobles and generals. However, we should not let go of the reins and use civil servants and servants to restrict them.

Sun Er thought that in order to encourage mining, Xungui could be given the ownership of the mine and the military commander the right to develop the land.However, the local civil affairs power should still be given to the civil servants, while the management power should be given to the servants.In this way, a complete set of constraint rules can be formed.However, the specific details need to be carefully considered by all walks of life. "

Zhu Di nodded in agreement and said: "This is an old-fashioned move to seek the country. I have thought about it carefully after seeing Zhanji. But this dispute may not be able to compromise in a short time. I don't want them to hold back the Western Expedition... ..."

Zhu Zhanji smiled and said: "Actually, Grandpa Huang only needs to establish a set of rules of procedure. Now my court meeting in Ming Dynasty lacks rules."

Zhu Di didn't understand what Zhu Zhanji meant, but what he said was a bit too heavy. "Nonsense, don't rely on my favor, you can speak freely."

Zhu Zhanji did not flinch, but continued to say: "The grandson is right, today's Ming Dynasty still lacks too many rules!"

Zhu Di snorted, patted Zhu Zhanji's arm, and said: "You tell me clearly, if you are not satisfied, I will beat you too during the Chinese New Year."

Zhu Zhanji is not afraid at all. He has wanted to do this for a long time, but he could not interfere in the government before, and proposing reforms would be arrogance.

Now Zhu Di is focused on going west, wanting to make an indelible contribution before his death, and win fame both in front of him and behind him.

If he goes west, it must be his father Zhu Gaochi who supervises the country. It is only a dream to count on him to control these old and cunning people in the court.

If Zhu Zhanji wanted to intervene in the government, he had to get Zhu Di's consent, so he had to take this risk.

Anyway, the big deal is to be scolded a few times, and he won't lose anything.As for hitting the board, don't look at Zhu Di's powerful words, I can't bear it in my heart!

He said: "Take the Nanzhou development competition as an example. These days, you are arguing with each other in the court, which is more lively than the vegetable market. It is really a good show for grandson. But grandson wants to ask, They quarreled for three days, how much was really on the agenda? Because of the interests of Nanzhou, they attacked each other, from the development of Nanzhou to the fact that the other party married a shrew, gave birth to a dude, and his relatives lived in his hometown. Occupy fertile land.

An originally simple matter turned into a question of character, morality, and ability in the end.I really want to ask, if the other party is really heinous, why would the court still use him? If it was just random speculation and deliberately smearing, why didn't the court deal with the framed party in accordance with the law?

Also, the development of Nanzhou is related to the ability of a minister, but what does it have to do with his mother being a remarried woman?What does it have to do with him going to the brothel?What's the point of questioning a person's ability and decades of development experience just because of an unattainable matter?

Also, who gave them the power to question each other's character?Why does no one stop it, and let such things happen every day?Is the court meeting of the imperial court discussing matters, or making moral judgments?

The ministers are like shrews, triumphant when they win a quarrel, but shameless when they lose.A matter can be explained clearly in a few words, but because of the extension of this kind of moral character, or even the influence of some irrelevant affairs, it has not been effectively dealt with. Is this way right? "

Zhu Di was suddenly confused by Zhu Zhanji's repeated questions. After Zhu Zhanji's voice fell, he said with some confidence: "Isn't this always the case? If you want to do things, you must first be a man..."

"Grandfather, these are two different things. Moral character is the foundation of a person's existence. It is important, but it cannot be related to everything. The imperial court is the center of the imperial court's governance of the world. It is more important to discuss the matter as it is, rather than pointless criticism. Therefore, in order to have an efficient court, it is necessary to formulate corresponding rules to restrain the words of the ministers and not to escape control. Isn’t the example of the struggle between the old and new parties in the former Song Dynasty enough to wake us up?”

The cultural development of the Snot Song Dynasty is indeed a bright page in Chinese history.But this deformed regime, which was incomplete from the very beginning, became the only regime that was subjugated without civil strife.

The prosperity of culture led to the prosperity of Confucianism. The entire history of the Song Dynasty can be said to be a history of party struggles.

Of course Zhu Di also understood this. After pondering for a while, he raised his head and smiled and said, "You always plan before you act. Now that you've come here today, you must have a plan, right?"

Zhu Zhanji had no intention of hiding it from him, and said to Sun Lin who was standing aside: "Go and get the document numbered C019."

Seeing Zhu Di nodding his head, Sun Lin retreated quietly, then found Liu Wan who was on duty at night, and asked about the documents of Bing 019.
