In the autumn of the 14th year of the Tianqi revelation, when the summer heat was not over, Zhu Youxiao officially inherited the cabinet's second assistant Li Mingrui requested to issue an imperial edict to divide the Ministry of Rites into three parts, that is, the Ministry of Rites was officially divided into three parts: rituals, learning and diplomacy.

Li Mingrui continued to serve as the Minister of Rites, while Wen Tiren, the former left minister of the Ministry of Rites, was the Minister of Foreign Affairs. The Minister of the School was dismissed because of the Right Minister of Rites, Li Biao, was dismissed from his post. After Ting's recommendation, Yang Tinglin, the governor of Mo Nan, returned to Beijing to serve as the Minister of the School.

During the years when Yang Tinglin was the governor of Monan, he mainly did it to change the land and build basic education, and did a good job. Now, he has basically realized that every Monan person has started learning Han culture. Almost every fifty herders households have a sociology assigned by the court to be responsible for children or students. He even created a fluid sociology because of the frequent migration of Mongolian herders in Monan.

In addition, Yang Tinglin himself was born in the Imperial Guard system and was the first among young officials to accept Zhu Youxiao's new ideas, with the style of Xu Guangqi.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao believes that Yang Tinglin can be competent for the position of Minister of the School and can continue to implement a new set of Ming education plans, imperial examination plans and talent selection plans he planned.

However, in fact, Yang Tinglin was not yet in his forties at this time, but his official rank was quickly surpassed. He became the governor of a province in three to five years, and now he was directly promoted to Shangshu. It can be said that he is another new star in the Tianqi Dynasty after Li Mingrui.

The reform of the Ministry of Rites began to be in full swing, but for all officials, it did not seem to be much of an interference with their political life. Several cabinet ministers in the cabinet still voted for memorials, the rank of the Ministry of Rites still criticized the rewards, and other ministries and courts were still doing their own things. Only the local governors, the inspectors and the deputy envoys of the prefectures received an edict ordering them to fully cooperate with the reform of the Ministry of Rites.

It can be said that quietly, the reforms of the Ming Dynasty in a certain aspect could be carried out without involving other administrative departments. Even in the local area, the reforms of academic affairs were easier because there were already promotion officials in charge of academic affairs, and the Ministry of Rites just set up an institution in the local area.

This is also related to the reason why the original political system of the Ming Dynasty has been relatively perfected throughout thousands of years of development. Zhu Youxiao's administrative reform can be said to be just a micro-innovation, which further refined the previous political system.

As soon as Yang Tinglin arrived in the capital, Zhu Youxiao immediately summoned him. Looking at the first relocated official who transferred from the Imperial Guard to the Civil Affairs, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion. Although he founded a royalist party to control the government and expel the Donglin Party, the royalist party that expanded rapidly in the short term due to the re-division of interests and classes was already in name only. His real direct line was the Imperial Guard, and Yang Tinglin was one of his real direct line.

Tinglin was close to Lu Xiangsheng in his original history, and he led his troops to fight against the Qing Dynasty and finally died in the water and died in his country. In this life, Yang Tinglin was still an idealist who advocated both martial arts and literature and advocated eliminating the old and reforming the new.

Since childhood, he took Wang Shouren as his idol and chose to enter the Royal Military Academy after a Jinshi in high school, and was able to receive a lot of theoretical knowledge beyond this era, which led Yang Tinglin to shift from a Datong society that yearns for the elderly and the elderly and the young of others to a hegemony society where the world is the world of the Han family.

Yang Tinglin understood what his Majesty is trying to create a school and reform the education system today. Therefore, when Zhu Youxiao asked him if he knew what his school secretary was responsible for, Yang Tinglin just said four words: Science and education will revive the country!

When Zhu Youxiao saw Yang Tinglin put forward the four words, he couldn't help but shock his dragon body. He didn't expect that these four words would be put forward by a Ming Dynasty official, but when he thought that he had indeed moved some of Taizu Taizong's remarks to the Royal Military Academy and the Royal Academy of Sciences and other institutions, now Yang Tinglin can say it directly, it's probably because he saw this thing.

After thinking about this, Zhu Youxiao felt relieved and asked in discomfort: "Well, you should tell me carefully and let me listen to your experience in the past few years."

"Although I am not as 100% wise as Your Majesty, after listening to the Hadith and reading the Holy Book of Your Majesty for a few years, and after going out to fight against the Tartars, and being the governor of the Mo Nan for several years, I now understand one or two of His Majesty's vision. The relationship between countries is like the jungle predator and the predator, and there will be no gentleness. The so-called benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness is enough to maintain order. However, it is not allowed to be eliminated by the blood of my Chinese men, and become a bitch, a mean but not unkind!"

"In the past few years, in accordance with His Majesty's instructions, the ordinary herdsmen who acted as slaves of tribe chiefs made them accustomed to the free animal husbandry method and used the method of changing clothes and raising hair and tying their crowns as a measure to achieve the purpose of sinicization, he also deliberately ordered a group of staff members of Weishen to compile a brief historical outline, proving that they were Han people and were descendants of Yan and Huang in the Spring and Autumn style. Then, the glory of China replaced the evil of immortality they believed in, revealed the evil of immortality, promoted the excellence of Huangdi's descendants, and displayed their thoughts in textbooks in writing, teaching children and young people. Now a few years later, many young Monan people began to recognize the orthodox of our Ming Dynasty, regarded themselves as China, and many voluntarily joined the imperial guards. According to the statistics of the Xiaguan, in this war to eliminate Jiannu, three thousand Monan people participated in the war, and more than 340 people were sacrificed."

Yang Tinglin's passionate words made Zhu Youxiao very helpful. Zhu Youxiao felt like meeting a confidant. He couldn't help but think that looking at the entire Ming Dynasty, there was not only one among the hundreds of millions of people who opened their eyes to see the future. Of course, Zhu Youxiao didn't know if Yang Tinglin pretended to be a prophet to use the words from the materials to get close to him in order to achieve his goal of gaining holy favors. After all, Li Mingrui and others were the same before, so Zhu Youxiao did not immediately express his opinion, but also made a affirmation:

"It seems that it is right to let you be the Minister of the School. In terms of funding, I will ask the Royal Bank to give you priority funds. You don't have to worry about these censors in the Censorate and the Six Departments. Even if someone sues you for plotting to rebel, I will take care of you. Of course, I am not afraid of you really rebel. The local officials will send someone to say hello and let them cooperate with you fully. I will also give you secret reports and let the local imperial guards stationed in to assist you. Naturally, you cannot stay in the reform of the capital. Go to the local area for more places. I will give you five years. Five years later, the gross enrollment rate of children under the age of 14 in the Ming Dynasty must reach 90%, that is, nine out of ten must be enough to study for five years, and the literacy rate must be greatly improved. I will not implement the policy of fooling the people. On the contrary, I hope that everyone in the Ming Dynasty can be smart and wise."

After Zhu Youxiao said that, he asked Yang Tinglin to retreat. He originally wanted to see Wen Tiren again. Now that he established the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Wen Tiren encountered the first thing that needed to be handled by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, that is, to go to the Lindan Khan tribe of Mongolia to ask for Dorgon.

However, seeing that the three bangzi sounded outside, the cool breeze had blown away the heat of the day, which was the best time to fall asleep and nourish the energy. Otherwise, after a few hours, it would be a hot day again, making people unable to sleep.

"Wang Cheng'en, go back to Kunning Palace!"

Zhu Youxiao called out and got up and rubbed the sun. His tired body was much more refreshed. As soon as Wang Chengen opened the heavy palace gate, a strong evening breeze blew his wings and Shanguan almost fell out. Zhu Youxiao simply took off his hat. It was late at night, and there was no censor who came to impeach him in the palace forbidden garden. However, at this time, the red outside aroused Zhu Youxiao's interest. Zhu Youxiao couldn't help asking Wang Chengen: "Is the area of ​​Daming Gate in the fiery red area?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, the night market in the capital is much more lively now than a few years ago, especially in the area of ​​Damingmen. Not to mention this time, even later, many shops are open all night long, and there are endless people strolling and drinking at night. Xin Qiji's words about BMW carriages all over the road to describe the night view of the capital. "

After Wang Chengen said this, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but say: "Take some time and I'll go and see it. Then call the prefect of Shuntian, and the population of this capital has reached millions. Every work such as public security, sanitation, water and grain supply is very important, and this night market is even more so."

After Zhu Youxiao said this, Wang Chengen couldn't help but smile, nodded and followed Zhu Youxiao into the Qianqing Gate with a lantern.

Although Zhu Youxiao's income is already quite large and his wealth accumulation is far higher than that of the emperors of the Ming Dynasty, there is no need to practice frugality in the Forbidden City and live a tight life, because the lights have not yet appeared, the Forbidden City still looks a little dark at night.

Even after entering the Qianqing Gate and reaching the living area of ​​his emperor, this is still the case. However, Zhu Youxiao did not believe in ghosts and gods, and was not afraid. Instead, he felt that this environment seemed very quiet and could make people's hearts return to peace all of a sudden. However, at this time, a sound of a piano came from a certain position among the six palaces in front of him, which pierced through the silent night sky and floated into Zhu Youxiao's ears.

Zhu Youxiao didn't understand the piano, but he also knew it was good or not. However, the sound of the piano that floated at this time was very nice. It grabbed Zhu Youxiao's ears and made Zhu Youxiao's heart warmed up immediately.

But Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but look at Wang Chengen: "In the palace ban, there will be no sounds to disturb Qingjing after the third update. Who is so bold that he dares to play the piano at this time? What are the affairs of the palace supervisors? They won't be asleep at this point."

"The sound should be heard from the body where Concubine Hai lives and the direction of the hall." As soon as Wang Cheng'en said the words, Zhu Youxiao guessed what Wang Cheng'en was trying to express. It was obvious that Wang Cheng'en was deliberately leading himself to Hai Lanzhu.

When he became an emperor, he sometimes had to deal with the Ming Dynasty's external affairs and the court's affairs, but even when he was exhausted, he had to deal with the affairs of the harem. Just as he would accidentally be exploited by civil servants in the court, he would be accidentally exploited by eunuchs and concubines in this harem.

But what Zhu Youxiao didn't expect was when Wang Chengen had a relationship with Hai Lanzhu, and Hai Lanzhu had just been taken away by him for a few days before he began to know that he had handed over to the eunuchs, and he actually handed over to the seal of the Sili Supervisor.

"Wang Cheng'en, you are the chief seal of the Sili Supervisor. Everyone calls you ancestors, but you must also understand what you should do and what you should not do. Your harem is not controlled by you. You should keep a distance from my woman, otherwise let me know that you are close to a concubine. Even if you don't take me, I will make you die miserable!"

After Zhu Youxiao said this, Wang Chengen couldn't help but be frightened and his face turned pale. He hurriedly knelt down and said, "I am wronged. How dare I make friends with you in private with Your Majesty on your back? If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can take a clear look!"

Wang Chengen said nervously and waited for Zhu Youxiao's response. In fact, he couldn't help but be afraid, because his former chief of staff was directly beheaded by His Majesty for conveying His Majesty's itinerary to Huipin.

"Then you tell me honestly whether you have made friends with Guiren Hai in private? Tell me quickly! To be honest, I may forgive you for not guilty!"

Zhu Youxiao shouted and made Wang Chengen tremble for a moment, and immediately replied:

"Your Majesty clearly knows that it has nothing to do with Concubine Hai. He is a woman named Ruolan who has come from outside the pass. This man is Bumubutai's aunt, the personal maid of Concubine Hai. Because Bumubutai was allowed to temporarily stay in Concubine Hai's palace, Ruolan also followed him. Because the last time His Majesty asked the minister to pass the order to go to the Tihe Palace, Bumubutai did not leave the Tihe Palace without authorization, and heard her singing Mr. Jiaxuan's lyrics. So the servants had a poetic friendship with her and had some love. They accepted what she asked and persuaded the direct palace supervisor to allow her to play the piano at night."

"I am guilty, please punish me!" Wang Chengen kowtowed to Zhu Youxiao again.

Zhu Youxiao was speechless. He knew that the palace would definitely not go purely. The eunuchs and palace maids had food and food, and it was difficult for him to interfere and could not control them at all. After all, everyone has emotional needs, but he would never allow his women, personal maids and high-ranking eunuchs to do these mischiefs in the palace. After all, this is also for the sake of his own rule that has always maintained legitimacy and orthodoxism. These inner ministers must also sacrifice if they want to gain greater power and higher status.

But Zhu Youxiao did not intend to punish Wang Chengen for this. After all, this name is Ruolan, but he was just a new palace maid. What surprised Zhu Youxiao was that Ruolan, who had just come from outside the pass, loved poetry and liked Xin Qiji like Wang Chengen. This was really a coincidence.

"I will spare you this time. For the sake of your work for me for several years, you should take Ruolan out of the palace and not allow her to come in again! In addition, unless I am my will, you are not allowed to step into the inner court in the future. Go back." Zhu Youxiao said and called a small inner servant over: "Put the lantern for me and take me to Kunning Palace."

But who knew that on the second day, when Zhu Youxiao learned that a palace maid named Ruolan actually died after hitting a pillar. When Zhu Youxiao summoned Hai Lanzhu, he said that he refused to turn against his master Bumubutai.

This made Zhu Youxiao curious about Bumubutai. This guy had just arrived in the Forbidden City for a few days and actually pulled himself into the water with a seal of the ritual supervisor, and now he has a life.
