Rebirth of the Ming Dynasty: Sixth Generation of Glory, I don't want it

"Also, Lord Yang, eight out of ten of his comments are about the Hongwu period. Now it's the Yongle period. He puts down his bowl while eating and scolds the emperor? What's he thinking? Take a closer look."

Zhang Xin continued to increase her investment.

Just like the last seven, eight, and nine items.

It's just like pointing at my father-in-law and Zhu Gaochi's noses and cursing them.

Zhang Xin put the booklet right under Zhu Gaochi's nose and pointed at the words and asked him to read them carefully.

Article 7: It was decreed during the Hongwu reign that all weapons except those reserved for military exercises should be stored in the warehouse and private manufacture was not allowed. However, recently, some people have been carrying weapons with them when they go out, or hiding them at home, or selling them publicly. It is unknown where they came from or who manufactured them.

Article 8: During the Hongwu reign, the government only accepted the materials that were delivered to the government office by the original owners. Now, the greedy people take all the money, not the original materials, but the banknotes and silver, and are greedy and cruel, sucking the blood of the people. This is the malpractice of the Ministry of Works.

Article 9: During the Hongwu period, the officers and soldiers of each guard were organized into teams, each with its own commander. Now, they arbitrarily recruit soldiers from other guards into the army, and also recruit fugitives and rogues. This is a malpractice in military administration.

"Really... It all started with something like this and that in Hongwu. Are you picking on my father?"

Zhu Gaochi also began to react at this time.

When his father showed it to him, he only paid attention to the two key words: "accumulated problems".

No wonder his father's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

He thought that his father was angry about the many problems in the court, but it turned out that his father was openly spat on, but he, the son, did not realize it.

"Your Highness, are you taking some stupid medicine today? You are not picking on your father, you are picking on you. Everyone knows that you have been in charge of the government for most of the past few years."

Zhang Xin covered her face in shame for Zhu Gaochi and couldn't help but remind him.

"Ah - fuck -"

Zhu Gaochi suddenly realized and became furious.

"Has this memorial been read in the court?"

Zhang Xin closed the booklet and threw it aside before continuing to ask Zhu Gaochi.

"No, it was submitted to the study. My father read it and told him not to speak in court, as it would offend people. He asked the Imperial Censor to submit a memorial instead."

Zhu Gaochi also wanted to cover his face.

His father is his father, and the older you are, the wiser you get!

"So, Dad is Dad. It would be more appropriate if the Imperial Censor said this. He would criticize them for being irresponsible, and then Dad would order all departments to make corrections. Sir Yang, this matter was handled in a way that is hard to describe."

Zhang Xin glanced at Zhu Gaochi with disdain.

"Indeed...but why?"

Zhu Gaochi touched his head, a little confused.

"Have you gone stupid lately?"

Zhang Xin glanced at Zhu Gaochi again.

Logically speaking, this fat guy shouldn't be so naive.

"Can Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess help me solve this problem?"

Zhu Gaochi bowed sincerely.

"To add weight to the cabinet. To alienate you and your son. Or maybe he is also stupid, or he is being used as a pawn."

Zhang Xin feels that anything is possible.

"Okay, let's not think about it. Maybe you're just like me and can't wrap your mind around it for the time being."

Zhu Gaochi didn't want to think about it too much, because if he did, he might find this person useless.

"what ever."

Zhang Xin didn't care and just responded perfunctorily.

"Dahua, do you think I should go talk to Dad? Issue an imperial decree, asking the censors to point out the accumulated problems and give suggestions. Bring your questions, and ask them to bring answers, too."

Zhu Gaochi thought that Zhang Xin's statement was insightful and worthy of being included in the norms of memorials.

"Well, you can talk to Dad about it. Didn't Grandfather sort out the memorials submitted by the court officials once?"

Zhang Xin cited a previous example.

In the 29th year of the Hongwu reign, the memorials submitted by various departments throughout the country were mostly ingenious and parallel in style.

The late emperor was quite dissatisfied, so he asked the people in the Hanlin Academy to create a format for congratulations and thanksgiving and promulgate it to all departments across the country.

From then on, all celebrations and thanksgivings were carried out according to the same format.

Now, they can also request that petitions be submitted according to the format.

"Dahua is right! I'll go now!"

Zhu Gaochi clenched his fist and left quickly.

~~~~

Wait until Zhu Gaochi left.

Zhang Xin picked up Yang Rong's memorial again and looked at it carefully.

The six departments' accumulated problems should have been six items, but they were divided into ten. The extra four items all dealt with military and political affairs.

It seems that the fact that the court cannot control military power is like a thorn in the side for those who have something to hide.

Now my father-in-law has the military power in his hands and can do whatever he wants.

Many things do not need to be informed of the six ministries.

This time they went out to kill indiscriminately and came back just to record the things, which made these people feel a serious sense of crisis.

In his previous life, the cabinet had to help Zhu Gaochi handle government affairs and also keep an eye on Zhu Gaochi for his father-in-law because his father-in-law was often away. Several cabinet ministers were highly valued.

Once the cabinet's presence is strong, the cabinet ministers will have great prestige in the court.

But in this life, the cabinet is far less visible than in the previous life.

My father-in-law's young eunuchs are already capable of being used. My father-in-law himself seldom leaves the capital often, so Zhu Gaochi is able to help share the burden.

The cabinet is still at the stage of helping the Hongwu Dynasty.

The main job was to help out, specifically small things like correcting typos, organizing memorials, and categorizing them, and they didn't have much power.

San Yang was relatively smart. When his father-in-law asked questions, he slowly understood his father-in-law's situation.

I can give some suggestions to my father-in-law and influence his final decree.

Apart from this, the biggest thing they were responsible for was teaching Zhu Zhanji.

But now Zhu Zhanji no longer needs to go to the main hall.

They would then have lost most of their potential.

This is urgent.

If this is judged at the end, the only person they can show off is probably Zhu Zhanji.

The cabinet has little presence, but Zhu Zhanji is not like that.

To be honest, Zhu Zhanji is even better than in his previous life.

He was good at both literature and martial arts, and was good at hitting the ball, archery, chess, painting, riding and hunting.

His father-in-law and mother-in-law never restricted his youthful nature since he was a child. His father-in-law even took Zhu Zhanji to see brothels, so you can imagine what he was like.

During this southern tour, Zhu Zhanji went to some unknown place.

According to what Zhang Xin knew, Zhu Zhanji had developed a new hobby: cricket fighting.

Anyway, my father-in-law didn't forbid it. Sometimes when he was in a good mood, he would lie on the ground with his butt sticking up and play with his two eldest grandsons.

As the crown prince, he was raised by his father-in-law to be very proud and vigorous.

If he became an emperor, he would definitely be the kind of person who could show off his power.

If Zhu Zhanji was the next successor, these people in the cabinet might not be so narrow-minded.

But Zhu Gaochi was the crown prince.

They were not Zhu Gaochi's formal teachers.

There is no such status as teacher and student.

One emperor and one courtier.

These people in the cabinet are most likely worried that Zhu Gaochi will not use them when he comes to power.

Therefore, before Zhu Di passed away, they had to have a sense of presence and make some achievements.
