Rebirth of the Ming Dynasty: Sixth Generation of Glory, I don't want it

"A grandson like this! Only Yang Shiqi has some courage!"

After Zhu Di finished handling state affairs in the palace, he returned to the West Hill Villa. Seeing Zhu Gaochi, Zhang Xin, Zhu Zhanji, and Tang Sai'er were all there, he couldn't help but complain to Xu.

"Ah!!! Dad has also seen the good of Yang Shiqi!"

Zhu Gaochi acted surprised.

"No! It's just picking melons from the bottom of the basket, no praise!"

Zhu Di was very angry.

"Dad, do you know that among all the people in our royal family, you are the only one at the bottom of the basket!"

Zhu Gaochi went to the study today and found out the whole story.

"roll!"

Zhu Di stared.

"What the father and son are talking about is called excitement, but they leave us who know nothing aside."

Xu sat with Zhang Xin and turned around to complain to Zhang Xin.

"That's right, tell us about it quickly!"

Zhang Xin smiled and joined in the conversation.

"A few ignorant people wrote petitions praising peace, and Grandpa got angry."

Zhu Zhanji explained the confusion.

He now replaced Zhu Gaochi and was in the imperial court every day, watching the whole process.

"I don't know how those who praise me have the nerve to do so. I feel embarrassed."

Zhu Di sat down next to Xu with a look of disdain on his face.

He felt extremely ashamed when reading the memorial, but when the writer read it out loud in the court, he did not feel embarrassed or nervous.

He has done a lot of great things in the past two months.

But the situation in the country is not peaceful either.

Floods in various counties.

From June to July, Henan has long rains.

In July, the Yellow and Ru rivers overflowed their banks, submerging houses and farmlands, and destroying all crops in Zhengzhou of Kaifeng Prefecture and nine counties including Yangwu, Zhongmu, Xiangfu, Lanyang, Xingze, Chenliu, Fengqiu, Yanling and Yuanwu, Ruzhou of Nanyang Prefecture and Song County of Henan Prefecture.

In August, the river water rose sharply, and half of the residents along the river in Xiangyang, Gucheng, Junzhou and Yunxian were flooded.

The disaster summary of these places has just been delivered to his desk.

In addition to floods, there are also earthquakes.

The one that was moved was the capital. In the past two months, it has been moved sixteen times. So far this year, it has been moved almost thirty-six times. The people at the Imperial Observatory said that there might be more.

An earthquake also occurred in Lu'anwei.

Although the earthquake was not serious, it was still a natural disaster and there were always people and houses affected.

If the treasury was full and the court provided timely disaster relief, the people would have no complaints, the territory would have expanded, and everything would have been going well for the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Di almost suspected that his father was so angry in the underworld that he wanted to dig up his grave and crawl out to beat him.

At a time like this, these people are still praising Taiping. Are their brains not fully developed?

"So, Yang Shiqi killed them?"

Xu asked.

"Grandpa was cunning. He took the memorial and asked the eunuch to read it in court, and asked everyone what they thought. The people below couldn't figure out whether Grandpa wanted to praise him or not, so they didn't dare to say anything. Only Yang Shiqi came out and said a few decent words. Grandpa also used this as an opportunity to scold the people in Wenyuan Pavilion."

Zhu Zhanji is a front-line worker.

I am full of admiration for Zhu Di's actions.

When the memorial was read out in court, the court officials were at a loss as to what to do.

When Yang Shiqi said those words, the faces of the court officials turned red and white.

When Yang Shiqi was promoted, other people in Wenyuan Pavilion were scolded.

With one move after another, the court officials were completely unable to fight back.

High, it is high!

"What did Yang Shiqi say?"

Tang Sai'er was curious.

"Your Majesty has blessed the whole world, but the refugees have not yet returned, the wounded have not yet recovered, and the people are still struggling to get food. If you rest for a few more years, perhaps peace can be expected."

Zhu Zhanji repeated Yang Shiqi's words.

"Yes, I didn't offend anyone, but I didn't give anyone face. What position did you get promoted to?"

Xu nodded and asked again.

"Grandma, what you said is also very tricky? He was promoted to the Minister of Rites and the Grand Secretary of Huagai Palace."

Zhu Zhanji thought that his grandfather and grandmother were both wonderful people.

"Then how did Dad train those people?"

Zhang Xin was curious about this.

It seemed that Zhu Di had not shown his wrath for a long time.

"It's the same old story. I treated them with sincerity. But in the past two months of my great commotion, only Yang Shiqi submitted five memorials to discuss various matters with me. No one else said a word. They dared not say it or did not want to say it. Or maybe this court is so perfect that there are no flaws. The world is so peaceful that no one picks up things on the streets. It's nothing! He even dared not refute a memorial praising peace. He spends all day wondering whether his face is good or bad!"

Zhu Di was also convinced.

When Zhu Gaochi was in power, these people were quite enthusiastic.

When he was around, everyone was like turtles.

"You can scold them, but they are not the same as you."

Xu said something fair.

"Yeah, I think so. Apart from talking, these people are quite capable of doing practical things."

Zhu Di didn't really not understand.

"Just leave the remaining ones here. When we run out of them, Chi'er can use them again."

Xu arranged the rest of the matter without any hesitation.

"Can you speak?! What do you mean by gone?"

Zhu Di was not happy to hear it.

"Everyone has this day, and I'm going to teach your grandson this. Don't say anything, I'll tell you."

Xu rolled her eyes and stuffed the tribute dates in her hand into Zhu Di's mouth to stop him from interrupting.

She was not obsessed with the matter of life and death, but Zhu Di cared more about it.

She gets angry whenever Zhu Di is mentioned.

Fortunately, I mentioned it today, and I will explain as much as I can in front of my son and grandson.

"The Emperor and I are both getting old. I don't know if we will become confused when we grow old. Now is a good time to explain a few things."

Xu also raised her hand to stop Zhu Gaochi from speaking and continued.

"A family like ours may be called a royal family, but we were also humble in the past. It's not easy to get to where we are today."

"It's not easy to rule such a big country. The late emperor laid a good foundation for us, and the emperor worked hard to govern the country, and finally we have a stable world. The people also love the royal family."

"The late emperor was confused before he passed away. There is no guarantee that the emperor will be confused too. While the emperor and I are still clear-headed, I will explain a few things first."

"Chi'er's health is not very good, and his energy is limited. If you and your father work like this, you will probably die after being emperor for only one year. So the emperor and I have been thinking about it, and we can only leave you some people to use."

"These people in Wenyuan Pavilion will not be promoted during the Yongle Dynasty. Chi'er will see what happens when the time comes."

"There is only one thing. You can promote him to a higher position, but he can only be a Grand Secretary. Otherwise, it would be a violation of the ancestral teachings of the previous emperor."

"When the previous emperor founded the dynasty, there were three dukes and three orphans. They can be restored in the future, and it can also help you reduce some of the political burden."

"Promote the people in Wenyuan Pavilion, and don't let go of the Neishu Hall. The young eunuchs who have been studying here can also help a little. An Neishu Hall and a Wenyuan Pavilion, these two can check and balance each other, one can be given some drafting power, and the other can be given some approval power, which can reduce some of the tedious work."

"But there is one thing we must keep in mind: no single company can dominate the market."

"If the descendants are incompetent, the emperor should think clearly and make arrangements before he leaves. But it's useless to say this. In this house, three generations and a hundred years, after a hundred years, no one knows what the situation will be like."
