Chapter 415: Teaching the Princess and the Clan's Relatives about Employment (2 in 1)(1/2)

Zhu Youxiao came to Gong Yonggu, the prince-in-law.

Before this, Gong Yonggu had always had a lot of complaints about the emperor.

After all, Gong Yonggu is a handsome talent no matter what, and he is good at studying. If he had not been selected as a son-in-law, he would have been able to achieve fame and fortune, not to mention becoming a Jinshi.

But now because the emperor is strong and has strict control, officials from the inner court and the outer court dare not act randomly. They demand that the son-in-law be chosen, and that they must be well-known and talented, otherwise they will be severely punished!

And he was chosen as the prince consort because of this.

It would be fine if you become the prince consort.

At most, you cannot take any more scientific examinations, be a real official, or participate in the government affairs.

It's also good to be a rich and idle person.

But the key point is that after becoming the prince-consort, even if he wanted to live a life of wealth and idleness, he had to report to the nanny when he saw his wife and had to bribe the princess' nanny.

Moreover, even if you bribe the nanny and see the princess, you cannot see your wife every day, otherwise you will be said to be shameless.

If you don’t become a prince consort, you cannot experience this feeling of aggrievance personally.

Gong Yonggu knew that all this was related to the current emperor.

If the emperor had not been strong now and asked the royal family to choose the prince consort by himself, no longer had civil servants and eunuchs involved, and issued an order to severely punish those who were perfunctory, and allowed the princess to submit an order to ask for a leave of absence because she was dissatisfied with the prince consort, and to check whether the selected official was fair, so that the officials who chose the prince consort would not dare to be careless, then he would not have been elected.

Therefore, Gong Yonggu had quite a complaint in his heart.

Of course, he was just a little dissatisfied and told him rationally that the emperor was right to do this.

But now, what surprised him was that when the emperor came, he did not scold himself for his private meeting with the princess from the perspective of etiquette like the nanny, and even punished himself. Instead, he maintained the authority of His Highness the princess and directly cut off the nanny and the inner officials who beat him.

Although Gong Yonggu knew that His Majesty the Emperor was not venting his anger for him, but was venting his anger for the princess.

But he still felt relieved and suddenly felt good about the harsh king rumored outside.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for not being able to give you a greeting."

Gong Yonggu sincerely grudged his teeth and greeted Zhu Youxiao with gratitude, instead of pretending to be dizzy and refusing to communicate with the emperor.

When he thought that Gong Yonggu had sacrificed his life for the Ming Dynasty in history, his character was considered acceptable, Zhu Youxiao was more concerned and ordered: "Tell me the imperial doctor and show it to the prince consort."

"Abide by the order!"

Wang Chengen replied.

Zhu Youxiao then looked at Princess Le'an, smiled and asked, "Why are your eyes so red? Haven't I vented my anger for you? There will be no nanny to take care of you in the future. I decided to revoke this system of nanny's message. The princess can live with the princess like an ordinary couple, or even travel together, how about it?"

Princess Le'an nodded and Zhan Yan smiled: "This is good! Is it true, brother?"

Zhu Youxiao Ze gave Princess Le'an a blank look and said, "How can my words be false? Do you only have your son-in-law in your eyes? I have been standing here for so long, so why don't you ask me to sit and have someone make a pot of good tea?"

"No, my sister dares not neglect the emperor's brother!"

Princess Le'an said, then took a step, stood under the steps of the main room, and reached out and said, "Please, brother!"

At the same time, Princess Le'an hurriedly ordered someone to prepare tea.

Zhu Youxiao smiled slightly, walked towards the main room, and chatted with Princess Le'an as he walked.

Wei Zhongxian and Wang Chengen also followed.

The prince-in-law Gong Yonggu was still lying on the spring stool in the yard. Seeing this, he couldn't help but shout in his heart: "Why did you leave me alone!"

...

"This is the end of being disrespectful to Your Highness the Princess! Be honest in the future. Don't forget your identity. Don't regard the responsibility of teaching Your Highness the Princess as your opportunity to make money. Otherwise, if the superiors know, our family will not have good fruits, and you will not have good fruits to eat!"

At this time, a young prison in the inner court brought the nanny in charge of Princess Le'an's mansion and the heads of the Neihu who beat the princess with a few sticks to the princess, and came to the nanny and the Neihu who were other princesses and started talking.

"What benefits do you have after this?!"

"That's right, I'll follow the instructions of His Highness the Princess in everything. What's the point of this nanny? She's watching the couple flirt with each other all day long. It's better to kill us old ones!"

"Why is the emperor even concerned about this? Now this life is indeed better than before!"

The nannies below started to talk about it in dissatisfaction.

And the young prisoner was actually very upset. Because he was in charge of these nannies, the bribes these nannies received from the princess would be more filial to him.

But now that the Emperor did not allow the nanny to disobey His Highness the Princess, he naturally cut off the nanny's income, and the young prison naturally lost this income.

This young prison naturally did not dare to expose his anger on the emperor, so he simply shouted at the nanny: "What a quarrel! Do you want your life? Your Highness is a golden branch and a jade leaf, and you are not locked up and raised money for you!"

These nannies shut up and dared not speak anymore.

...

"Eighth sister, I have said that many times in the world, I can only rely on myself. This nanny is so ignorant, why didn't you tell me earlier and have to wait for me to come in person?"

Zhu Youxiao was asking Princess Le'an here.

Princess Le'an explained: "My sister dare not! The prince-consort said that the old aunt Shouning was scolded for telling her parents about such a thing, and even the prince-consort suffered even more punishment."

"Then do you think the court is doing this right?"

Zhu Youxiao asked.

Princess Le'an shook her head: "I don't know."

"You have to know! It is about your own business. You have to think about it, speak out for it, and learn from the civil servants outside. Whenever they have any unsatisfactory things, they will speak out and give advice. Even if they know it is their fault, they will make a quibble. Although the world is mine, I am the emperor of everyone and your emperor. You have to take the initiative to tell me these issues and express your own opinions."

Zhu Youxiaoyu said earnestly.

"Will this be said to be interfering in politics?"

Princess Le'an replied.

"Absurd! It's related to your own system. If you ask, how is it considered interfering in politics? Do you think that the princesses in the future will live a widow-like life after getting married? Moreover, is it also considered interfering in politics when the civil servants discuss the imperial examination?"

Zhu Youxiao asked as he spoke.

"this!"

Princess Le'an didn't know what to say, but she suddenly realized from her heart that what her prince's question made sense. Why did the matters related to her, she said were interfering in politics. If the matters related to civil servants, wouldn't it be interfering in politics?

"Brother, when I was studying, the masters only said that the relatives in the harem were not allowed to interfere in politics, and did not say that civil servants were not allowed to interfere in politics!"

Princess Le'an replied.

Zhu Youxiao asked: "Is the Hanlin master who teaches you a civil servant?"

"yes!"

After Princess Le'an replied, she suddenly realized: "My sister understand! The masters are just saying things that are good for them."

Zhu Youxiao nodded and smiled.

Then, Zhu Youxiao said: "But you should know that when Hanlin masters say a truth, they will give examples from history books or the words of saints in classics to prove themselves. Therefore, sometimes even emperors find it difficult to admit that their words are reasonable, or even take them as a guideline, so that others are convinced by them. This is where you really need to learn from those Hanlin masters, learn how they can make things good for themselves and be believed as the most truth in the world!"

Princess Le'an nodded as if she had some insight.

"I will remove all the nanny and allow you, the royal women, to live the life of ordinary couples, and will definitely make these nanny dissatisfied, the eunuchs who care about them, the internal eunuchs they care about, and even the courtiers outside;

Undoubtedly, I am trying to exploit many people who are trying to exploit you and maintain your own rights and interests. Therefore, if I cannot do it alone, I cannot fight them for the rest of my life, and I have to rely on you to speak for yourself. If anyone does not let you speak, then you will object and refute and win more people against you;

Learn from those civil servants, read more books, bring saints and heroes in history to your own camp and help yourself. If you can’t find a saint who can help you speak, then be a saint and give a princess who will try to strive for justice for yourself in the future, so that she can use you as a charlatan, refute others, and imitate you."

Zhu Youxiao said this to Princess Le'an and to himself.

After hearing this, Princess Le'an seemed to open the door to a new world, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise. She was eager to search through historical classics and find out if there is a saint or hero who can form an alliance with her.

...

"I summoned you for one thing, that is, my relatives of the royal family in the Ming Dynasty. What new ways out can I arrange for them?"

"In other words, the relatives of the royal family, regardless of gender, can be held in addition to serving some positions in the inner court and managing internal affairs of the royal family, and can also engage in government affairs of the outer court?"

"As far as I know, there are still many relatives of the royal family who are idle now. If they are allowed to fight cocks and do whatever they want every day, they will not do anything wrong, but if they don't become good, they will have no ambitions and ambitions; but now, in order to make the world order, the imperial rules and regulations will not be chaotic because of some privileged people. Even if they are scattered, they must devote themselves to studying and abide by the laws and regulations; and in this way, they will have ambitions and ambitions to serve the court and do their best to protect the country. If they don't give them a place to do things, they will cause trouble!"

"I am not exaggerating. I have learned civil and martial arts and are in the imperial family. If you don't let others have a place to show off, they will cause bigger chaos."

After Zhu Youxiao came back from Princess Le'an, he summoned Yuan Keli and other cabinet ministers to Damingyuan to discuss reforms of the corresponding palace system.

Now Zhu Youxiao mentioned the question of how the nobles who were relatives of the royal family and the emperor should allocate their jobs, that is, to solve the employment of these nobles.

Although these people are not short of money and do things, they can still be rich and well-behaved.

But Zhu Youxiao did not want the people of the world who paid taxes to raise idle people, nor did he want some capable royal relatives to be able to play birds and fight crickets from now on, and did not balance other political forces for himself.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao put his hobbies, strange skills and tricks aside for the first time, and met the cabinet ministers once.

"According to the law of ancestors, the relatives of the royal family cannot interfere in politics, but what Your Majesty said is reasonable. The monarch and ministers of the dynasty did not control these people first, because they did not know what to do after being controlled. It would be better to let them become useless and be idle every day. But now it seems that not controlling them will only cause greater trouble, so we must strictly control them now!"

"And what Your Majesty said is very serious and should be strictly controlled. It is necessary to arrange what they will do in the future. From the perspective of the minister, it is okay to serve as an envoy. One is that the relatives of the clan are decent and noble, and as an envoy, it can also make the relatives of the clan pay more attention to their interactions with the state. Two is that the relatives of the clan are nobles and nobles, so they do not need to create wealth and honor. The possibility of colluding with the outer family is a small betrayal of the court; the third is that the ministers are direct views, and the relatives of the clan are envoys, and their position may be more consistent with Your Majesty, because they are all nobles!"

Xu Guangqi replied.

"It's good to be an envoy. Now the Ming Dynasty has already sent envoys in North Korea and Japan. In the future, there will be no fewer envoys to be sent to other foreign officials. Now, there are indeed very few envoys, and it is just right for talented people among the royal family to make up for it."

Yuan Keli replied.

"Well, it is a good way to allow relatives of the royal family to engage in foreign affairs, and what else?"

Zhu Youxiao nodded and asked.
