Each of their own affairs

On Zhongshan, Xiao Xiao Zhu rode on the horse's back. This is no longer the horse he liked to ride when he was a child. It is a tall horse, a Hequ horse. This is an ancient horse breed, which was once called Tuyuhun horse in history.

During the Western Han Dynasty, they were raised and imported good horses from Wusun, Dayuan and other countries to transform local stallions.

During the Mongolian period, a large number of horses were also raised here, and the Hequ horses were also one of the main sources of the Ming Dynasty war horses.

"Cousin, you should be the pioneer!" Xiao Xiaozhu looked at Lan Yuening and said, "Duke Liang is a general of the country, so don't insult the disciples!"

Lan Yuening, the "grandson" that Lan Yu brought back from Shu King Zhu Chun, turned from grandson to grandson. Lan Yu was extremely proud. Although she only had one daughter, so what? Grandson also had the blood of the Lan family, and his incense of Lan Yu can be passed on.

As for Lan Yuening, her name has been changed twice, and not only has her surname changed, but at the beginning, Lao Zhu was not very happy with the name Zhu Yunyou gave her to her for help.

The surname is the Lan family, the character Yue is from the King of Shu, and Ning is the character given by Lao Zhu.

Although Lan Yuening's grandfather was Lan Yu, the most domineering prince in the Ming Dynasty, Lan Yuening grew up under the discipline of his aunt Chang Lan when she was a child. She was disciplined with Chang Qi and others. Although she was a little domineering, she was still quite sensible.

Chang Yuening turned around and clasped his fists at Xiaoxiao Zhu, "Your Highness, please be the pioneer!"

Xiao Xiao Zhu was happy and said to Zhu Weng beside him, "Weng, you are the deputy general, and you are the vanguard of Prince Liang."

When Xiao Xiao Zhu said this, both Zhu Wengeng and Chang Yuening were obviously not happy. This arrangement is really bad, and it seems that everyone is not happy.

Zhu Weng muttered directly, "Brother, I can't be the vanguard. If I hit the deer, I can eat it!"

Chang Yuening, who is familiar with Zhu Wengeng, was speechless about his cousin. He knew that his cousin was a good player in eating, drinking and having fun. He and his cousin Chang Qi and Chang Lin were wandering around the crowd of women all day long, and he could only be happy.

Xiao Xiaozhu's face turned stern and she was very unhappy, "What's wrong? Do you dare not listen to the imperial edict of this palace?"

Zhu Weng quickly turned over and got off the horse, climbed down and said, "I don't dare!"

Like his father, Zhu Wengeng is very good at eating, drinking and having fun, but he is also a little clever. They all know that Xiao Zhu, Xiao Xiao Zhu, and even Lao Zhu are the same. They are usually not as majestic as the emperor. But once they become serious, they are "I" and "I" and "I".

Just as Chang Yuening took Zhu Weng to lead a dozen or sox guards away, Shuangquan jogged over, "Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness summoned Xungu Li Xian, Li Rui, and Li Xu."

Xiao Xiao Zhu suddenly became excited and asked gossip, "What's wrong? The emperor just betrothed the legitimate daughter of Duke Cao, so he would point all three sons to the marriage?"

Shuangquan said with a bitter face, "Your Highness, Prince Cao, Li Xian, has already married. I'm afraid that only Li Xu will be the only one in this trip."

Xiao Xiao Zhu immediately laughed and said, "Then don't let the emperor take charge. Duke Cao is my family. We remember that Duke Cao was also betrothed to the second uncle's family. Now he is the Princess of Qin. This is not true. The emperor can only look at Li Xu. We have to decide on this marriage!"

Shuangquan naturally recorded these things. In fact, he also understood that the eldest princess was just a test, and it was impossible for him to really point out the marriage. Even if these things were not the Emperor and the Emperor, it should be the Queen's ruler. The eldest princess does not have the qualifications to do this.

The happy little Zhu was leading the royal family and the nobles on an outing, which looked like a prosperous scene of singing and dancing.

As for the matter on the other side of Goryeo, for the nobles of the Ming Dynasty, they don’t need to care or care at all. They just need to enjoy the current scenery and just grow up.

Goryeo and other things really don’t need to be cared about. Perhaps in the eyes of many people, Goryeo is just a chance to make achievements. It’s a pity that their fathers and brothers have made contributions. Goryeo will definitely not be a place where they can make achievements in the future. Maybe they can only consider other places.

At this moment, Zhu Yunyou pinched Old Zhu's shoulders and said, "Grandpa, grandson is going to build a cabinet."

Lao Zhu narrowed his eyes and asked casually, "Cabinet? What is a cabinet?"

Zhu Yunyou explained, "Just to consult us, we are going to place three to seven people in it. Grandpa Huang also understood that there was a Secretariat in the past, and there were a Secretariat in the left and right prime ministers. Grandpa Huang abolished the Secretariat and the Prime Minister, and divided the power of the Secretariat in the six ministries."

This is something that Lao Zhu felt more proud of. Prime Minister's power has always been a weapon that restricts imperial power. Abolishing the prime minister, this is obviously a more highly centralized power, and the emperor's imperial power is obviously more supreme.

Zhu Yunyou continued, "In the early years, Grandpa Huang also set up Huagai Hall, Wuying Hall, Wenyuan Hall, and Dong Pavilion, and also set up Grand Secretary of the Wenhua Hall to tutor the prince. What we mean is to find some things for these Grand Secretarys."

The Grand Secretary actually had it in the Tang Dynasty. The Grand Secretary was responsible for drafting edicts and reviewing memorials to assist the emperor. His power was roughly equivalent to that of the Central Secretariat of the Tang Dynasty.

Even the workaholic Lao Zhu actually had to set up a Grand Secretary of the Palace and serve as an emperor's consultant because of his huge workload.

Zhu Yunyou said at this time, "We are going to let the Grand Secretary participate in the automotive affairs. The prime minister could make decisions in the past. We will definitely not give this power. The Grand Secretary can discuss politics, and the six ministries can exercise power. The cabinet and the six ministries each perform their duties, so we will be more relaxed."

Although Lao Zhu was a little unhappy, he still said, "Ying'er, aren't you afraid of powerful officials?"

Zhu Yunyou didn't hide it and said, "We're afraid. Although it's unlikely that powerful ministers will appear now, if we open a cabinet, we might have powerful ministers in the future. But we are quite confident about ourselves, and Yin'er seems to be reasonable. But our children and grandchildren may not be all wise in the future."

Lao Zhu also sighed, and naturally he knew that his descendants might not be all very wise. Maybe, there might be some foolish monarchs and the like, and maybe they would ruin the great country.

Lao Zhu, the Supreme Emperor who lacks a sense of security, pondered for a long time before asking, "If there is this cabinet, will we change the ancestral teachings again?"

Zhu Yunyou immediately objected and said, "Grandpa, don't change it. We just want the name of this cabinet to be unjustified. If it really comes to some point, this cabinet will violate the ancestral teachings. Let's see who dares to take on this title."

When Lao Zhu heard this, he was immediately happy, "You, you are really our grandson, this heart is dark!"

Zhu Yunyou was not ashamed, and he was quite proud, "We thought so too, it was really a dark heart. Our heart was not dark, not dirty, and we couldn't be a good emperor. Tell us justice, but we just couldn't give justice."

If others say this, Lao Zhu will definitely not tolerate it and will definitely explode on the spot. Under such circumstances, Lao Zhu may immediately take out the harshness of Emperor Hongwu, and he will not tolerate Lao Zhu, a corrupt official who is incompetent.

But when Zhu Yunyou said this, Lao Zhu would only be happy. Of course, Lao Zhu hoped that his children and grandchildren were kind, benevolent, righteous, and upright, but as the one who got up from the bottom, Lao Zhu also knew that there was too much darkness in this world. If the emperor was really too benevolent, it would not be a good thing, and the emperor would have to be ruthless!

Only in this way can we control the court, and only in this way can we make all officials surrender. This is the means and authority that the emperor should have.

Zhu Yunyou smiled and said, "It is also beneficial to be unjustified. If the reputation is just right, it will develop quickly according to the nature of the cabinet. If the reputation isn't right, it will be unjustified. Unless there are some talented talents, the cabinet will always be easily suppressed."

This is the imperial mind. Although the cabinet is generally useful, the emperor's first thought is not just about being lazy, but about the cabinet's possible constraints on imperial power, and how to restrict the cabinet, and even including banning the cabinet.

Zhu Yunyou continued at this time, "Grandpa Emperor, this cabinet must be restricted. We said before that we should be the Minister of the Six Ministry and be in charge of the government. We should join the cabinet and be a Grand Secretary, and also be a pastoral guard."

Old Zhu also reacted. Two years ago, the Minister of Rites Ren Hengtai was dismissed from office and the Minister of Justice died of illness. When choosing to succeed the Minister of the State, Zhu Yunyou did make a request, requiring the Secretary of the Six Ministers to have the experience of being close to the people.

These are obviously interesting, because Zhu Yunyou seemed very sensitive and caring, worried that the head of civil servants such as the Six Ministers did not know the sufferings of the people, or put forward some unrealistic political ideas.

If you want to just get out of the precious Hanlin Academy, or climb up with good poetry, etc., Zhu Yunyou almost blocked it from the source, blocking some people's promotion channels that want to be "easy" and have to have the experience of being close to the people.

This is the case for the six ministers of the Ministry of Justice, and of course the Cabinet Grand Secretary needs this. Having the experience of governing the local area can make these officials aware of the sufferings of the people, so that these people will not only talk big or make some unimplemented and unearthed policies.

When Lao Zhu heard Zhu Yunyou say this, he seemed relieved, "That's true."

Zhu Yunyou smiled and said, "Grandpa Emperor, don't forget, we must check and balance the Jinyiwei and create an East Factory. Our literati here can also be a little bit pressed. The other is the Six Ministry. Although the Six Ministry does not have to obey the cabinet, the cabinet is closer to the emperor than the Six Ministry. The cabinet cannot say that it is possible to use the position and respect the power to control the Six Ministry. The Six Ministry takes advantage of the loopholes in the cabinet that the cabinet has no legal status or power."

Lao Zhu thought about it again that the cabinet seemed to be the emperor's aide group and could have a certain status and power. However, they did not have the so-called real power and were controlled by others everywhere. Once their power loses the emperor's support, it would be the flowers in the mirror and the moon in the water.

Zhu Yunyou continued at this time, "Grandpa, don't forget our martial arts honors, these people can also restrict the cabinet."

But this matter is not a trivial matter, Lao Zhu said, "We also know that you have a lot of things to do. You are busy moving the capital, and you are busy fighting wars everywhere. You also have to build the Yellow River and open Jingxiang, and you are still in tax reform. Although things are complicated, this cabinet still has to make long-term plans."

Zhu Yunyou nodded with a smile, not afraid of being ruthless, "Grandpa Emperor, we just want to discuss with you. Otherwise, if we really do this, who can stop us?"

Lao Zhu also became happy. Although his grandson seemed to be constantly breaking some of the rules he made, Lao Zhu was indeed unhappy sometimes. But Lao Zhu also knew that his grandson also attached great importance to his opinions.

The most obvious thing is that there are many things. Zhu Yunyou discusses with him. If Lao Zhu doesn't agree, Xiao Zhu will not be busy with execution. He just keeps analyzing with Lao Zhu and tries to convince Lao Zhu.

Just as Zhu Yunyou said, if Zhu Yunyou was determined, after Lao Zhu returned, who could stop the powerful emperor? Now Xiao Zhu always discusses with Lao Zhu. Isn’t this Xiao Zhu respecting Lao Zhu!

Things like the cabinet really need to be discussed for a long time, and Lao Zhu really needs to discuss this matter with Xiao Zhu.

This matter is naturally based on their opinions, but they do need to refer to the suggestions of some ministers. Although the suggestions of these ministers are at most just a little reference, they cannot be ignored at all.

Xiao Xiao Zhu was hunting happily, busy with "gossip". While leading her younger brother and sister to go out for a spring outing, she was also satisfying General Zhu's dream. He must be very happy now.

At this time, Lao Zhu and Xiao Zhu were not too worried or missed Xiao Xiao Zhu. They all knew that Xiao Xiao Zhu was definitely very safe on an outing. What they care about now is the country and the long-term stability of the Ming Dynasty.

Do your own things well and play your own role well. That’s all, and you don’t need to think about other things.

After the main talk, Lao Zhu smiled and said, "This time, many people from your royal family have come over, so they have some thoughts, right?"

"It's time to think about Yin'er's marriage. We have to think about it again. It's just that we should have some snacks for other things." Zhu Yunyou didn't hide it, and said half-truth, "Although we let the queen take care of this matter, we have to nod. Grandpa, there are some marriages that you still have to come forward. We can't help our uncle and aunt arrange the marriage."

Old Zhu immediately laughed and complained, "You? You are a little bit bigger, so you will arrange your marriage for your sister-in-law."

Zhu Yunyou was unhappy and refused to take the blame. "Grandpa Emperor, my aunt's marriage was arranged by my grandmother. We don't like Liu Bowen, let alone his grandson. You said that my uncle doesn't want to be an official yet, so we're going to be angry to death!"

Lao Zhu remembered something and said, "It's your grandmother who has the means, and we and your father can't stop him. But you caused this matter. What do you want to see if you have nothing to do!"

Zhu Yunyou was even more unhappy and retorted, "Our dear sister, of course we should pay attention. If Liu Bowen's grandson doesn't want to be an official, he is a good match. If Ouyang Lun becomes the prince consort, our sister will definitely be sad. Can we rely on the royal family to do whatever it takes?!"

Lao Zhu stopped talking. It would be nice to have a lot of troublesome grandson, and it would be even better to care about his family!

Face or something, no family is more important than life!
