Chapter 46 Selection of Bachelors

"Dongdong!" A crisp sound came from Ganqing Palace.

Zhu Youxiao turned around and then covered his head. After a moment, he sat up and stared at the bell ringing hard at the corner of the room. Seeing that the little bronze man was trying hard to ring the bell, he couldn't help but feel angry. He said that Zhu Youxiao would be a little angry every time he was woken up by this alarm clock, because the sound of the bell easily reminded Zhu Youxiao of the tragic and miserable school life in his later years. Thinking about how he got up from the warm bed before dawn every day, it was an arduous battle for the teenagers who were not in adolescence.

"Your Majesty!" Zhu Youxiao felt a move in the quilt, and then Dong Wan'er poked her head out.

"Your Majesty, today is the day to summon the North Korean mission. You'd better get up early, otherwise it would be bad if you were late!"

Zhu Youxiao sat on the dragon bed and thought for a while. When he saw Dong Wan'er getting ready to get up and change his clothes, he said, "Wan'er, don't worry about me. If you want to sleep, you can go to the one in the palace by yourself!"

Dong Wan'er turned her head and smiled, saying, "Your Majesty, it's the Ming Textile Company!"

"Oh! Yes, yes! It's a textile business! Is there any interesting thing there?" Zhu Youxiao was a little embarrassed. He was busy with messy things every day, but he also forgot very quickly.

Dong Wan'er smiled again and said, "Your Majesty, it's quite fun. I will discuss with some sisters in the palace how to embroider and cut clothes. I am now learning to make fashion!"

Zhu Youxiao also smiled and stood up and said, "That's good. I'll show me the fashion you made in a few days. Okay, I'd better prepare to go to court earlier. I'm late for the court meetings in the past few times. The memorials of the censors and ministers will almost fill my tables!"

"Then the emperor is better soon. I will change your clothes for you!"

...

"The emperor is here!" Zhu Youxiao sat on the throne of the eunuch's scream.

"Ah..." Before Zhu Youxiao's butt was hot, he yawned a long time ago. At this time, the ministers in the hall were shouting: "Long live my emperor!"

"Flat!" Zhu Youxiao obviously didn't wake up and said listlessly.

When Zhu Youxiao saw many ministers standing up one after another, he said, "I shouldn't have attended court in this state of mind, but it was too late to review the memorial yesterday, and I have to get up so early today, and I just lack sleep. Do you have anything to report to all the ministers?"

If the ministers who are not familiar with Zhu Youxiao will still believe that Zhu Youxiao really reviewed the memorial yesterday and delayed sleep. However, the ministers who attended court had to meet Zhu Youxiao once in a few days, and Zhu Youxiao is so listless every time. Who would believe that what Zhu Youxiao said is true!

At this time, Sun Shenxing, the Minister of Rites, stood up and said, "Emperor, today is the day for the North Korean envoys to meet. Your Majesty, did you issue an order the day before yesterday?"

How could Zhu Youxiao forget this? He couldn't help but secretly scolded Sun Shenxing for being a elm-headed person. He didn't know where Cangming had run to, so he said helplessly: "I know, what else is there besides this! You won't be gathering all the civil and military officials here to just receive the North Korean mission. Take this opportunity to discuss some things. There are so many things happening these days. Isn't there any minister who has a memorial?"

I think it is a depressing thing to be a minister. Sun Shenxing is so old that his grandson is almost holding his son. Now, he is still ridiculed by Zhu Youxiao, who is still young. However, the court has the rules of the court. No matter how arrogant you are in normal times, anyone who comes to the emperor must obey.

Zhu Youxiao also made such a move. The day before yesterday, he convened a small meeting between officials from the cabinet and the six ministries. You should know that the news about the people in the officialdom is the most well-informed. I thought it was a small internal meeting and there would not be too many people who should know. In fact, everyone knew that those results had been known for a long time. Since everyone knew that Zhu Youxiao had made a decision, who had nothing to do to find trouble? As for those censors and ministers, there was no chance. Since they ascended the throne, there were not many things that really discussed state affairs at every court meeting. They were always the six subjects.

The censors and the censors were constantly struggling, which was a taboo of Zhu Youxiao. For nothing else, the trivial matters of the censors and ministers were reported to each court meeting for four or five hours. Not to mention the ministers standing, even Zhu Youxiao, who was sitting on the comfortable Jinluan throne, felt sore back. Therefore, the direct result was that Zhu Youxiao was furious and waved his pen. In the future, the memorials of these censors and ministers must first be reviewed by the cabinet before they can be submitted to the court meeting.

Of course, this will bring shame to the public. From ancient times to the present, all the wise monarchs in China are complacent as being an emperor who opens up their own ways of speaking and open-minded. Even those tyrants with irritable and moody tyrants sometimes have to raise a few famous mouths who always anger themselves, and finally say something hypocritical to those famous mouths. Now, Zhu Youxiao suddenly made a fuss and the imperial edicts were filled with the memorials of the censors and ministers, but the officials of the busy Tongzheng Department were busy and dark, even the cabinet gained benefits, and the power increased also refused. Instead, Zhu Youxiao issued an imperial edict again, narrowing the scope to within the fourth rank, which means that the target of those censors was only the dozens of people in the court. Therefore, the impeachment of the censors at the court meeting was a sharp decline. In the court meeting like today, there were naturally no censors ready for their memorials.

In fact, Zhu Youxiao has always believed that relying solely on these censors and ministers to talk at court meetings is useless, and it is not as realistic as his anti-corruption situation. In a very fashionable sentence, the censor is a false democracy with a deceptive nature.

The Ming Dynasty's official system followed the Han Dynasty and Tang Dynasty's official system, and made many improvements on it. There was no prime minister, and six ministries were established to manage the affairs of the world with the six ministries. The Grand Secretary of the Cabinet only had consultants, and the emperor personally took charge of everything. If the impeachment was made, the chief censorship was blamed, and if the court was heard, the minister of the government was founded, and the minister of the six ministries belonged to the judicial department, and the minister of the Ministry of Justice was also considered to be the minister. Although the government of the Ming Dynasty seemed to be separated, the cabinet was the emperor's consultant, but in fact it was the political center. The six ministries also belonged to the administration. The Ministry of Justice among the six ministries belonged to the judicial department, and the Censorship was also considered to be the minister.

The legal institutions were only the censors of the Ming Dynasty who were dedicated to impeaching hundreds of corpses, defending their injustice, admiring all the traits, and serving as the chief ministers and evil people who formed party members, and acted as power and chaos in politics. Any officials who were obscene, corrupt and detrimental to officials and disciplines would be impeached. Any scholarly injustice, written to the letter to make a statement that the chaos became a constitution, and hoped to be promoted. When encountering a court, an investigation would be conducted with the Ministry of Personnel. The major prisons were imprisoned and imprisoned in the outside court, and the Ministry of Justice would be punished. They were ordered to follow the outside world and follow the outside world, and each of them would be dedicated to their own decrees. In this way, the power of the censors was actually very great, and it was considered a structure of scattered gold.

There is naturally nothing to say about legislation. Zhu Yuanzhang created a Ming Law, carved it into a stone tablet before the palace gate, and used it to warn people of the world. Since then, the Ming Law has been used as the criterion for governing the country in the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Youxiao was very dissatisfied with this. Therefore, Zhu Youxiao was always thinking about how to modify the Ming Law, and tinkered it into a constitution-like thing, and then derived various other laws based on this. However, the difficulties seemed too difficult. Zhu Youxiao tried to reveal a little idea to Sun Chengzong, Xu Guangqi and others several times, and was severely rejected, which made Zhu Youxiao suffer a lot, so he never had a chance to succeed.

Everyone in the hall was willing to speak but stopped. It wasn't that nothing was said. For many officials, the things in their own acre of three parts of the field were a big deal, but for Zhu Youxiao, wasn't his own affairs just a big deal? Zhu Youxiao looked at the expressions of everyone and said to Sun Chengzong: "I haven't been to court for a long time. Today, I finally met with all the officials, so I'd better have to be in a bad situation. I think Sun Aiqing seems to have something to say, but I don't know if Sun Aiqing has something to report to me?

Sun Chengzong didn't expect Zhu Youxiao to ask him, but was shocked. He stood aside honestly, even looking up at Zhu Youxiao, there was nothing to say there. I don't know how Zhu Youxiao saw that he had something to do. I guess he was going to put it on the shelves and asked him to come to save the situation, so as to relieve Zhu Youxiao's embarrassment. Sun Chengzong looked up at Zhu Youxiao, and saw that Zhu Youxiao was staring at him. The expression in his eyes was clearly saying, "Hurry up and say a few words."

"Back to the emperor, I really have something to say, this..." Sun Chengzong began to think about anything that could be said on the surface.

"The emperor, the cabinet is busy now. The imperial court and the imperial court are the clerks of the imperial court. All six ministries directly obey the cabinet's will. However, there are only five grand clerks in the cabinet now. According to the ministers, maintaining seven is the lowest limit. Therefore, it is urgent to select a new grand clerk!"

Zhu Youxiao has no objection to this issue. There are more people, but the important thing is how to deal with the candidate issue. If you have enough abilities, Zhu Youxiao likes it. Generally, he does not have enough qualifications. Sun Ruyou has already been criticized for entering the cabinet, and Zhu Youxiao, who is qualified, looks down on him. Therefore, the candidates in the cabinet have never been able to reach the normal staffing.

"I have no objection to my beloved. I can see the efforts of the Grand Secretary in the Cabinet. Since there is not enough staff, it is better to be elected, but the candidate issue..."

Sun Chengzong was here again this time, not for anything else, but for this candidate, he was the veteran of the Donglin Party and the former chief assistant of the cabinet, Ye Xianggao.
