My Daming New Empire

Page 807

The heads of several departments in charge of organization, etiquette, equipment, and procedures should join in one after another.

Zhu Di cut through the mess quickly, and fixed the work that would have taken an hour to complete in a few words.

This made Zhu Zhanji feel absurd for a while, but it was very appetizing.

Zhu Di looked at Zhu Zhanji again and asked, "What else can Zhanji order?"

Zhu Zhanji can only say: "The emperor's arrangement is very good, and the grandson has no objection. There is only one thing to add, it will cost money for everything. What is Chen Yanchun's love for you?"

Chen Xuan was already on the rostrum, he approached the loudspeaker and replied: "The minister is here."

"The Ministry of Rites and the Supervisor of Rituals make a budget, and the bank withdraws the money from the internal treasury account, and handles it leniently."

Chen Xuan responded, "Observe the order."

Zhu Diqi said: "The succession of the emperor is a state matter, why should the internal treasury pay out the silver?"

Zhu Zhanji replied: "My royal family controls the world's minerals, products, and trade through the internal supervision. In the past, there were few wealth accumulations, but now the scale is getting larger. Such consumption should not be used by the people. The wealth of the world comes from the people. , to use it for the people. In the future, my grandson will also order that all royal family expenses should not be used by the national treasury."

Zhu Di asked again: "What if I want to build a temple?"

"It should be the inner library."

Zhu Di shook his head and sighed: "I don't care, anyway, you will worry about it in the future."

More than 1000 ministers bowed one after another: "Your Highness is merciful!"

Zhu Di lowered his voice and said, "Don't act too hastily. Even if you want to retreat, you should retreat slowly. Don't let the ministers think that you are easy to bully."

Zhu Zhanji nodded, respectful on the surface, but he didn't take the words to heart.

He has a benchmark in his heart, and in the future, he must clearly distinguish the treasury from the internal treasury, and he can't catch it by hair and beard.

Now the imperial court is already implementing the budget system, and after it becomes a rule in the future, it is not afraid that there will be no money turnover.In times of natural disasters and man-made disasters, some internal treasury subsidies are enough.

If there is no self-limitation, there will be no clear rules.If you meet a descendant of a prodigal son, if you want to build the Great Wall today and the Afang Palace tomorrow, the good country will be tossed to pieces.

Zhu Di knew that Zhu Zhanji was a smart man, and thought he understood.

He turned to the ministers and said: "After today, I have also relieved a heavy burden. From now on, come to me for eating, drinking and having fun, and don't bother me about other big and small matters."

With a wave of his hand, he turned around and left with a few of his servants, like a gangster.

All the ministers in the hall were so panicked that they saluted again. "Congratulations to His Majesty."

Zhu Zhanji knows that Zhu Di looks free and easy now, but in fact he must be bitter in his heart.

In a western expedition, he laid down a large area of ​​land for Daming, and also prevented future troubles.

After an expedition of thousands of miles, he has become a veritable emperor through the ages.But when he came back, he found that he had been emptied.

If it weren't for his age, Zhu Zhanji would definitely have no good fruit to eat.But after all, he was 62 years old, and his legs and feet were inconvenient, and he was already thinking of quitting, so he had no choice but to go downhill.

But for him, such a result is really not what he wants.

What he thought was to take the initiative to abdicate, but now it has become a semi-passive abdication.

Zhu Zhanji has been sending Zhu Di across the third floor and the overpass above the palace wall, and stood on the city wall. Zhu Di supported the city wall with his hands and looked at the major yamen in the south for a long time without saying a word.

His gray hair trembled in the wind, giving people a kind of sadness of a hero's twilight.

"Grandpa Emperor..."

Zhu Di raised his hand and stopped Zhu Zhanji's words. "No need to say anything, no need to say anything. I know your thoughts, but you don't know mine. Before I came back from Timur, I had the intention of abdicating. After I came back, I saw that you took care of this country. His eloquence is clear, and I am also very relieved.

Just for a moment, my heart was empty...After working hard all my life, it's time for me to take a good rest for a few years.When the Yongle ship is built, I will take the Yongle ship and go to Nanzhou to see that piece of land full of gold, which will also be the territory of my Ming Dynasty in the future.

If my body can still bear it, I still want to go to Dongzhou to have a look. What I see on the map is always not as profound as what I saw with my own eyes!

I think that my Ming Dynasty was just a corner of the land, in the hands of our grandparents, but now the territory has expanded by more than ten times, I have no regrets in this life! "

Zhu Zhanji bowed and said: "Grandson will definitely let the historian write these clearly. These thousands of miles of rivers and mountains were taken by the emperor's grandfather, and grandson is just the king of success."

Zhu Di laughed, patted Zhu Zhanji on the shoulder and said, "Go back, I'll let someone carry you around the palace, take a look, you still have a lot to do!"

After Zhu Zhanji came back, under the auspices of Jian Yi, the temporary yamen with Jian Yi, the eunuch Wang Yan, the eunuch of the Rites, and Lu Zhen, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, as the chief officials of the ceremony had been determined.

This yamen is dominated by the Ministry of Rites and the Supervisor of Rituals. Taichang Temple, Guanglu Temple, Pedestrian Department and other yamen officials all obey orders to co-organize and jointly prepare for the succession ceremony.

This is not simply handing over the great seal. Although there are precedents for the abdication of Jiangshan Sheji, most of them are the helpless abdication of the subjugated king, and there are not many abdications of true father-son bloodline inheritance.

How to run each program requires archaeological research, and there can be no mistakes.

Moreover, where the abdication ceremony will be held, who will be present, what clothes to wear, what utensils to use, including where to hold the grand banquet, all need to be properly arranged.

Then it has to be announced to the world, and the pedestrian department will send people to the world to publicize it, and all aspects must be considered.

Moreover, there is the most important point, that is to change the year name.

Although the year name will only be changed next year, everything will change since Zhu Zhanji ascended the throne.

On this day, after the Great Court Assembly was over, the newspapers of that day began to issue additional editions urgently to spread the news to the world.

The people of Yingtian Mansion had a favorable location and knew the news immediately.

Zhu Di is not dead, the common people can't put up lanterns and streamers, set off firecrackers to celebrate.If you do this, wouldn't you be suspected of despising Zhu Di?

However, there are still many ordinary people who dragged their families along and spontaneously came to Chengtian Gate to kowtow to the palace.

At the beginning, there were not many people, but more and more people followed, and a landscape was formed.

Inside, there is also a young woman who is full of travel and dust. After she kowtowed to the palace, she ordered to a strong man behind her: "Brother Bin, go to Honglu Temple to pass the booklet."

"Third sister, you are a woman, will His Highness receive you? Why don't you... go directly to the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion to handle business..."

The woman known as the third sister is Tang Sai'er who left her hometown three years ago, traveled thousands of miles, and settled in the far west.

They went to [-] young adults in the first year, and only [-] were left. In that winter, they were almost besieged by the Slavs.But then Chen Cheng's arrival eased the crisis there and allowed them to settle down.

In the second year, a large number of family members traveled thousands of miles and arrived in Tanglin City before winter.At that time, the Ming Dynasty had already wiped out the Timurid Kingdom, and the other ethnic groups were in panic and did not dare to target them anymore.

They don't hesitate to spend money to establish a relationship with Zheng Heng, governor of Samarkand. With the help of the garrison in the river, they have recuperated for another year, and their power should have greatly increased.

However, because of the fact that Gao Yang'er and Hao Yunzhong's forces have split, they are not as good as before.

Although the number of people in front of them is small, they are all young and strong, and their hearts are also united.

Now that they have stabilized, Gao Yang'er and Hao Yunzhong have started to set up their own businesses.
