My Daming New Empire

That's it, good.

Yang Shiqi drank a little too much at noon, but he slept for a while in the afternoon, and presided over the wedding normally at night, but at night he encountered a group of bad friends from Yang Dao toasting and got him drunk again.

Even though he was drunk, Yang Shiqi was still very happy.

Because he found that although he had lost power, the Yang family didn't seem to be down.

He has been tossing in the court for more than 20 years, but he is only a fifth-rank Zuochunfang University scholar. People only give him face because he is the prince's chief adviser.

But even if his son is only a general manager now, because he has studied in Habayashi for four years, his social circle does not seem to be much weaker than him.

Those marquis, the princes don't care that he is a scholar of Zuochunfang University, they toast him because he is Yang Dao's father.

Yang Dao didn't get drunk today, because he had already made preparations and invited Wang Dan and Wu Keqin, who had the best drinkers, to hold him back.

Wang Dan is known as the wine vat, and Wu Keqin, a descendant of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, can drink a thousand cups. With the two of them escorting him, Yang Dao is only slightly drunk.

In fact, he himself felt that everyone was drunk without drinking.

Thinking of marrying his sweetheart today, he was already fascinated.

Entering the bridal chamber, he, the groom, suddenly felt a little weak in his legs. Under Xi Niang's arrangement, the two of them drank a cup of wine and ate half-baked dumplings. Everyone waited, including the two little girls, and retreated out with a shy smile. He also graciously closed the door for them.

"Big...lady, it's time to rest..."

Xie Zhenfang looked at Yang Dao with straight eyes, extremely shy, but still got up and wanted to unbutton Yang Dao.

As soon as her hand reached out to Yang Dao's chest, she felt her body lighten up and was picked up by Yang Dao...

Yang Shiqi woke up in the middle of the night and drank nearly a pot of strong tea before he felt better.

His wife was still busy outside, and he lay on the bed again, thinking of his son's successful marriage, he couldn't help laughing.

But with a smile, his tears couldn't help but flow down...

The time of princes is over...

His time seems to have passed...

Chapter 60 Freshmen

Zhu Zhanji's career in supervising the country started calmly, even a little flat.

In today's social structure, the government is a governing body, a management body, not a service body.

In other words, everyone has to pay taxes according to their head, but they cannot enjoy the benefits brought by the government.

Not only do they have no benefits, but they have to endure the bullying of the upper class.

The daily work of every official is to stabilize the entire social structure, and he has never taken the initiative to serve the people.

In such a social environment, being an emperor is actually very easy.

Get up at around six o'clock every day for morning morning, and morning morning is more than half an hour each time, basically between one hour and two hours.

Those who participated in the early court were all officials of the fourth rank or above, except for the bachelors.

At around eight o'clock in the morning, the morning court ended, the ministers returned to their offices, and Zhu Zhanji began to eat breakfast.

During the breakfast time, the Rites Supervisor and Honglu Temple will integrate according to the problems reported by each department.

Then Zhu Zhanji chooses the people to meet and the affairs to deal with today.

In fact, it is not every day that something is reported, which means that there are very few things that need to be brought in front of him.

On the contrary, there is an endless stream of people interviewed every day. If Zhu Zhanji does not choose to his heart's content, it will not be enough to interview people every day.

However, there are two types of people that must be met.

One category is officials who are dispatched to various places to conduct inspections and are responsible for handling various emergencies and cases.

The other type is the promotion or relegation of officials. This kind of personnel power cannot be easily let go by any emperor.

The reason why the Ministry of Officials has always been ranked first among the six departments is for this reason.

If the emperor doesn't even know who is under his command when appointing officials, then the emperor is about to end.

After breakfast, it was time to deal with government affairs in the morning, that is, Wu Dynasty.

The Wu Dynasty is basically held in the Wuying Hall or the Jinshen Hall, depending on how many foreign ministers are interviewed.

Most of the time, it is in the Hall of Martial Arts, which is located in the southwest corner of the imperial palace. The open terrain makes it easy to enter and exit.

When there are few visitors, it is in Jinshen Hall.Jinshen Hall is the northernmost part of the three main halls, adjacent to the harem. Basically, only cabinet members, officials above the third rank, and nobles above the earl can enter and leave the Jinshen Hall.

Of course, there are exceptions, and that is when the sutra feast is held.

Jingyan is a lecture seat specially set up by emperors since the Han and Tang Dynasties to talk about classics and history, and it is also the most effective way for emperors and future emperors to receive ruling education.

The lecturers of Jingyan are served or concurrently by Hanlin scholars or other hall officials. Since the Song Dynasty, every February to the Dragon Boat Festival and August to the Winter Solstice are the lecture periods, and they take turns to give lectures every single day.

In Zhu Zhanji's impression, the Ming Dynasty was the dynasty that paid the most attention to Jingyan, but that was after the death of Zhu Zhanji in history.

At that time, civil officials were in power, and the emperor was young, so he was naturally at the mercy of civil officials.

But before this period, whether it was Zhu Yuanzhang or Zhu Di, at most three sutra feasts were held a month.During Zhu Di's time, lectures were held on every Wednesday.

On the third, thirteenth, and 23rd day of junior high school, the morning of these three days does not deal with government affairs, but the emperor, prince, and grandson attend lectures together.

Lecturers often intercept passages from the Four Books and Five Classics to tell ancient stories. In addition to telling stories, the most important thing is to summarize based on historical events.

This kind of summary is the so-called experience. When encountering such a thing in the future, you will know what to do.

is that useful?

It can't be said that it is useless, but it is definitely not as useful as the civil servants touted.

Because history is developing, the occurrence of any event has its complicated formation conditions or chance.

It is fine to sum up experience based on history, but to deal with problems based on historical problems, that is to ask for swords in every boat.

The main reason why Zhu Zhanji was not liked by civil servants was that he didn't like Jingyan, and when he participated in Jingyan, he often left civil servants speechless.

Zhu Zhanji is not good at explaining the scriptures, but his mouth is still very powerful when he talks about crooked principles.

The rigid thinking of civil servants cannot restrict the doubts of the ancients.It can make Zhu Zhanji pick out many contradictory places, so that they can't step down.

And Zhu Gaochi likes Jingyan the most. Zhu Di organizes it three times a month, and he can't wait to organize it thirty times a month.
