Chapter 953 Ready
Zhu Xu had been 'love' for five or six days, and it was a real holiday.
I don’t know if it’s because Zhu Xu has been living so comfortably these days, and the time is fast. In a blink of an eye, it’s the 12th day of the first lunar month, and the Lantern Festival is just two or three days away.
In the warm pavilion, Zhu Xu was drinking tea, looking at Bi Ziyan, Sun Chengzong and Chen Xun in front of him, and smiled and said, "What's wrong? Is this here for the New Year?"
Bi Ziyan raised his face and was very tired, but he smiled and said, "Your Majesty, the government affairs of the cabinet have been basically sorted out. When the big discussion is made, you can discuss it carefully with the local officials and improve it so that you will not make a big fuss..."
Zhu Xu was relieved of Bi Ziyan's ability. Although he was conservative, he was good at everything and would not make any mistakes. He said, "Well, I have seen it briefly. The speed is a bit slow. It is safe to take into account both efficiency and generally not hindered."
Bi Ziyan knew that Zhu Xu was "very urgent and wanted to be fully prepared". He did not refute after hearing this and continued: "The Governor's Yuan, Dali Temple, the State Administration of Taxation, etc. are already working on the local arrangements, and people are stepping up the selection. Be sure to be honest, capable, loyal to the emperor, loyal to the court, and support the "new policy"..."
Zhu Xu listened for a long time, but had no objection to this. He thought for a moment and said, "When will the Censor of the Administration leave the capital?"
Compared with the Governor Yuan and Dali Temple, Zhu Xu valued the Censor more. Only this force has the weakest relationship with the local government and can see the things clearly, give them to him and the court.
Bi Ziyan raised his hand and said, "The twenty-two Censors of the Inspectors, because Luzon and the old port are not perfect, there is no need to send them out. I have prepared twenty open positions, and the other two ministers want to use secret investigations to inspect the provinces and secretly monitor everything. Our Ming Dynasty has vast territory, and it will take at least one year to go back and forth. I have ordered the post station to send the memorial of the Inspectors of the Inspectors as soon as possible so that the emperor and the court can know the actual situation of the local area as soon as possible..."
At this point, Zhu Xu and the court were basically consistent on many issues, such as the promotion of the "New Deal".
Bi Ziyan said in a relatively detailed manner. Zhu Xu was a little surprised by the two secret investigations and was a little happy. He said with approval, "No, it's a good idea."
Bi Ziyan would not be moved by Zhu Xu's praise and continued, "Officials from all over the country are expected to enter Beijing one after another at the end of the month. I have asked the Ministry of Rites to receive it, especially the envoys from all over the country, and I need to show my kindness and kindness..."
Zhu Xu immediately knew what Bi Zi meant in his stern speech, waved his hand and said, "If you die, you will die. If the remaining few in Japan dare to have any dissatisfaction, leave one, and the others will pack their heads and send them back."
Bi Ziyan didn't know why Zhu Xu was so disgusted with Japan. Of course, he had no good feelings, so he stopped talking and said, "Yes. I have made plans and prepared to talk to all the governors and governors in detail to see what their thoughts and opinions are..."
The reforms have reached the local level, especially at the governor level, which is the most important. They will be the main force in promoting them. If they do not work hard and do not work hard, the court may not be able to achieve anything ten times the effort.
Zhu Xu tapped his finger on the table and said, "Well, if necessary, take a few to establish authority, the Ministry of Justice and the General Administration, and don't leave it."
Bi Ziyan has always been interested in suppressing these two yamen and seeking stability. After listening to Zhu Xu's words, he unexpectedly agreed and said, "Yes, I have this plan, and I will be shocked by the time."
Zhu Xu was still looking forward to Bi Ziyan's sharpness. He turned to look at Sun Chengzong and said, "Georgie Sun?"
Sun Chengzong is now in charge of "military affairs", holding a memorial, saying, "Emperor, the new military post, military rank, flag, number, personnel changes, etc., the Ministry of War has already formulated it, please check it out."
Zhu Xu took it, flipped it casually, put it aside, and said, "Well, I know, is there anything else?"
Sun Chengzong was very uneasy about Zhu Xu's "careless" attitude. He glanced at Bi Ziyan, pondered for a while, and said, "There is no problem with the 'military reform', the northern war zone, the western war zone, and the maritime war zone. In the southern war zone, I plan to go there in person... I would like to give the power to mobilize the troops of the southern provinces to prevent accidents."
Zhu Xu narrowed his eyes, obviously Sun Chengzong also noticed it.
"Yun. Nan..." Zhu Xu carefully said, "Bordering Myanmar, Annan and others has been a place of many wars since ancient times, so you can't be careless. The reason why I let Zuo Liangyu go there is that requires his fierce force to shock all forces, which is something that others do not have. After he arrives in Beijing, I will beat him up. Others should not be a problem. You can come calmly."
Sun Chengzong responded and said, "Yes, Xiong Tingbi from Shanhaiguan and Qin Liangyu from Sichuan, I am not worried. I plan to go out to Beijing to supervise it personally to ensure it is complete. At the same time, I will monitor the arms of various places again to prevent deception and various problems such as empty salary and corruption."
Zhu Xu was also relieved by Sun Chengzong, and said, "Well, next year I will give you the king's order arrows, and then send an internal supervisor and an imperial guard to protect him. If necessary, take action first and then report to ensure that the army is pure and loyal, and must not allow any filth!"
"Abide by the order!" Sun Chengzong said.
"Shangshu Shen?" Zhu Xu looked at Shen Xun.
Shen Xun raised the memorial and said, "Emperor, the ministers have already formulated all the food, clothing, housing and transportation for the envoys of various countries, governors and other officials, and the corresponding etiquette ministers have also sorted out. They can handle this as soon as possible to avoid making any mistakes."
Zhu Xu took it and looked at it carefully. It was really complicated and showed the majesty of the Ming Dynasty.
After a while, Zhu Xu closed the board and smiled and said, "Well, it's good, just do it like that, just stare at it."
"Yes." Shen Xun raised his hand and held a memorial, saying: "The emperor, the wedding and other matters are basically complete, just waiting for the beginning. I listed the twenty-four items that the emperor needed to do personally, the thirty-six items that the palace should do, the seventy-two items that the empress should do, the forty-eight items of courtesy and the eighty items required for the return gift..."
Zhu Xudan felt a headache when he heard the numbers in Shen Xun's mouth. He took them and looked at them. His eyebrows immediately shook. Many things seemed strange to him. For example, he wanted to stand on the Huangji Gate Tower to accept "congratulations" in turn, and to go around in the Qianqing Palace, Jiaotai Palace, Kunning Palace, and the three palaces, telling the world, worshiping ancestors, etc., for half an hour, one hour counts. Almost one day, he either stands or kneels, which is quite terrible.
Zhu Xu was very troubled and said calmly, "Can you reduce it a little? These are too cumbersome and some meaningless things should be avoided..."
Shen Xun immediately understood and said, "Back to the emperor, this is already the greatest simplification and cannot be reduced, otherwise it will affect the wedding ceremony."
Zhu Xu felt a heavy hatred in his heart, and sighed unconsciously, saying, "Well, I know, I'll go back if I have nothing to do. By the way, the Lantern Festival is on holiday. I will go out in person to have fun with the people. By the way, the Lantern Festival is designated as the national festival of our Ming Dynasty. All the people will celebrate together, anyone, anywhere, without exception."
Bi Ziyan had no objection to this, and after all the matter was finished, the three of them raised their hands and said, "I will leave."
Zhu Xu felt a headache when he watched the three of them leave. Marriage in the Ming Dynasty was already complicated, not to mention that he, the emperor, was still unknown how many people would be watched.
