Chapter five hundred and forty-eight
In the imperial palace in Nanjing, Zhu Yicheng was half lying on the collapse and flipping through the memorials, while on each of his sides were several memorials stacked on each of the tables. The left side had not read it yet, and the right side had already read it.
As the territory of the Ming Dynasty became larger and the war with the Qing Dynasty continued, and there were also news coming from all over the place every day, the memorials and information received by the center could almost pile up like mountains.
Fortunately, Zhu Yicheng set up the Military Affairs Office and the Military Affairs Minister from the very beginning to assist him in his government affairs. If he were the only one, let alone reviewing it, even if he stayed up and couldn't finish reading so many memorials and dealing with so many government affairs every day.
Even so, after the military bureau’s deletion and preliminary processing, except for the resolved matters, the remaining memorials that must be handed over by Zhu Yicheng are not a minority every day. Being an emperor is not as relaxed as the legendary one. Just go to court and the eunuch shouts "If you have something to say, you will leave the court without any trouble", or you will come to a private private visit from the people to deal with corrupt officials everywhere so leisurely.
In a sense, the emperor can be said to be the hardest and most tiring job in the world. Of course, Zhu Yicheng can also hand over all these work to others, such as the full responsibility of the Military Affairs Office, or the resetting of the Sili Supervisor to restrain him, and he completely became a manager, and he hid in the harem and lived leisurely in the harem like Emperor Wanli.
However, in this way, Zhu Yicheng would completely lose the right to control the Ming Dynasty, and the destructive power of the civil servant group and the eunuch group was proven in the previous morning. By then, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty would become like the previous Ming Dynasty, and the entire Ming Dynasty would gradually deteriorate and eventually embarked on the old path of party struggles and national destruction.
As a later generation, Zhu Yicheng knew very well that this old path was a dead end that could not be done at all, but Zhu Yicheng, who relied on himself step by step, knew even more that it was far from the time for restructuring. China has not yet recovered, and the Qing Dynasty is particularly present. In addition, the entire Ming Dynasty is developing and growing rapidly, in this case, a strong centralized central government is the most effective institution, and the central brain and decision-maker are himself.
Perhaps until the future and after everything is settled, Zhu Yicheng will gradually change, but this will happen at least ten or even twenty years later. Anyway, he is still young now, and has this time and patience.
In the candlelight, Zhu Yicheng focused on the memorial in his hand, and a smile gradually rose from the corner of his mouth. He picked up the red pen resting on the desk and wrote a few words in the blank space of the memorial, and then put it aside with satisfaction.
"Your Majesty, take a rest." Queen Li Juan'er's voice sounded in her ears. She looked up and saw that Li Juan'er had come to her.
"?Is he going to bed?" Zhu Yicheng asked.
"I finally got to coax the child to sleep. The older the child, the less worry-free it is." Li Juan'er said. Although there was some complaint in her words, she was kind and spoiled in her eyes.
Now it has been six years of eternity, and the legitimate prince Zhu Bo is already five years old. The five-year-old child is the age of being tired of being abominable among the people. Especially Zhu Yicheng does not imprison his children too much. In fact, it is not only Zhu Bo, but even his younger brothers and sisters. In addition, Zhu Yicheng's throne was not inherited, but was actually defeated by him, so naturally no one dared to point fingers at this.
However, there must be rules. After all, there are differences between royal disciples and royal disciples, but in this regard, Li Juan'er has different ideas. She couldn't help but persuade Zhu Yicheng to come and ask him to find a good master for the prince as soon as possible. The child is getting older and can't discipline him like before.
Zhu Yicheng nodded slightly, and Li Juan'er's words were not unreasonable. Her children could not be free from raising them like this. Even children as old as they were in the future would have entered kindergarten for preschool education.
"Let's do this. I said before that I would choose a place outside the palace to establish a royal school. Now it's time to deal with this matter. I'll let Mr. Wu do this tomorrow. By the way, Mr. Wu has always told me that he wants to withdraw from the Military Affairs Office. If I really can't keep it, it might be a good thing to hand over this school to Mr. Wu."
"Your Majesty, are you really planning to let the emperor go to this school? Can't you choose a master to teach in the palace?" Li Juaner was a little worried when she heard Zhu Yicheng say this. In fact, Zhu Yicheng had already had the idea of the royal school, and he had mentioned it to Li Juaner before, but Li Juaner did not expect that Zhu Yicheng really took this matter to his heart.
"I know what you are worried about." Zhu Yi saw that Li Juaner was hesitating, and immediately smiled and clapped her hands beside her, signaling her to sit down next to her.
"You have the truth that a kind mother often defeats her son. Since Emperor Xuanzong of the Ming Dynasty, almost every emperor has been raised from a deep palace. Although he has the guidance of his master, how many people can become famous? Juan'er, you and I have met in the underworld, know the affairs of the people well, and have a life of death and hardships to achieve the revival of the Ming Dynasty. But have you ever thought about it? Once you and I have a hundred years later, if I have a few unworthy descendants in the Ming Dynasty, how can I defend this world? It's not a few hundred years ago. The world has been different from the past, changing with each passing day. If you don't advance, you will retreat. The great change is right in front of you. I'm not just for this purpose, but also for the sake of the descendants!"
Zhu Yicheng said solemnly: "Out of the palace and school, not only can children come into contact with other children and let them understand the people, but also think about their future. Just imagine that the children who enter school include not only royal children, but also nobles and ministers, and even children of wealthy merchants will enter in the future. These people spend their time with the princes day and night, and aren't they going to help them in the future? Furthermore, when the children grow up, I will not let them be the King of Freedom. Even if my child cannot expand his territory like me, I will never become a useless person! The royal family of the Ming Dynasty has been here since I, and the old rules of the previous ones must be changed!"
When he was with Li Juaner, Zhu Yicheng usually only called himself "I", but once he called himself I, it means that Zhu Yicheng had made up his mind to never change his mind. As his queen, he was also a wife who had experienced the years of displaced and turbulent days. How could he not know about his habit?
However, Li Juaner was still a little worried about this. Although Zhu Bo is the eldest son, Zhu Yicheng still has many children, and he is now in full bloom and will have many children in the future. If he had imagined it with Zhu Yicheng, this is certainly good, but it also brought status challenges to Zhu Bo. Once other princes win over his followers after entering school, wouldn’t this bring unnecessary trouble to Zhu Bo?
Perhaps seeing Li Juan'er's concerns, Zhu Yicheng smiled and said, "?Ah, now he is five years old, he is the eldest son again. Let's choose a good day. It should be time to enthrone the crown prince."
Hearing this, Li Juaner suddenly raised her head, and the surprise in her eyes could not be concealed at all. She was right? Zhu Yicheng was going to officially establish her? Er was the crown prince? This is the best news in the world for her.
