Chapter 269 References
Zhu Biao took a sip of the wine on the table, hey, this is what he brought back from Jiangnan.
Inexplicably, he remembered a dagger with a story that he lost. It has been a year, and Zhu Biao doesn't know where his father hid it.
Zhu Biao swallowed some bitter wine and said: "My son has been with you to deal with official affairs when he was the eldest son, not to mention the difference between managing the world and managing a state capital is not that big."
Zhu Biao has read the official documents reviewed by Zhu Yuanzhang and others since he was a child. The more he reads, the more he learns. In the final analysis, the government affairs of the court are those things. Discuss it with the officials or the six ministers, and there will always be a dedicated person responsible for implementing it.
Zhu Biao rubbed his eyes and said: "At least half of a memorial is nonsense, even if the author also quotes the classics, he can't simply state the problem and the solution. This has to be changed, at least an hour a day can be saved."
Zhu Yuanzhang said helplessly: "We have scolded them a lot since the year before last, but it seems that they can't write without these nonsense. It's useless to teach them many times."
Zhu Biao was annoyed when he thought of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, benevolence, righteousness and morality that he had read just now. What does it have to do with the Three Emperors if there is no rain in Shandong? Or is it the reason why Huang-Lao School is not flourishing?
The memorials written by these officials are similar to the style used in the imperial examinations. They habitually quote scriptures and allusions in a subtle way. In short, there are too many private goods, as if they want the emperor to see how knowledgeable they are from the memorials.
What is the official memorial of the imperial court? What is needed is efficiency, the fastest and most accurate solution to the problems in the Ming Dynasty, instead of wasting time reading a long masterpiece and finding a solution from it.
Zhu Biao said seriously: "It can be stipulated that the official documents that need to be reviewed in the future must be limited to 500 characters, and the words must be concise and clear."
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and thought for a while. He is a traditional person and doesn't like changes very much. What if there is any major delay?
Zhu Biao continued to persuade: "Five hundred characters is quite a lot, and everything can be explained clearly. Just now, my son counted the memorials posted by those people and removed the useless ones, so there are only two or three hundred characters left. If you want to read the allusions of the article, why read them.
Zhu Yuanzhang also remembered the moment when he went crazy late at night after reviewing in the past. He felt that he was about to learn a lot from writing memorials every day.
Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while and said: "Directly order those civil servants to make trouble again. After a few days, they will find a reason to get angry and set the rules, so they will not dare to fart."
Zhu Biao nodded when he heard the words, and then took out a copy from the memorial that he brought just now. It belonged to Ru Taisu, the servant of the household department. The most angry thing Zhu Biao saw just now was his. The three work suggestions summarized in two hundred words at the end are useful.
Zhu Yuanzhang knew the name just by looking at the name. He could only read the last few sentences of this person’s memorial. Zhu Yuanzhang couldn’t understand it without a translator. He suffered a lot at the beginning.
The father and son looked at each other, and they happened to use this old guy to scare others, at least they would have to fight dozens of court sticks, and who would dare to make a long speech in the future, thinking about it like this, it seems that the wine is delicious.
Although I know that my father has received rough news, I still have to talk about what needs to be said. There are many unruly practices, such as making Tang Ding a pirate or accepting the Jiangnan family.
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't say anything after hearing this. In his opinion, it's nothing if his son is willing to make a fuss, not to mention that it's just a trivial matter.
After eating and drinking, the father and son went out for a walk. Zhu Yuanzhang was really relaxed today. Otherwise, he should still be reviewing the memorials at this time. After all, he had to convene officials to discuss. Also slow.
Zhu Yuanzhang happily walked among the flowers and plants in the imperial garden. This was the first time he had time to stroll around since the beginning of spring. Zhu Biao wanted to go back to the palace to sleep. He didn't get enough sleep last night, and today he was working hard again.
However, he could also see that his father was so happy, so he had no choice but to follow suit. Knowing a son is like a father, Zhu Yuanzhang squinted at him and said, "If you don't want to go shopping with us, then quickly give us a grandson. If you have a grandson, we will pay you back." I wish you could go away."
Zhu Biao said happily after hearing the words: "If the father said so, then the son will not be happy. It is better to give birth a few years later, or even take away the favor of the father and queen mother."
Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and smiled: "The daughter of the Li family and the third princess from Goryeo are waiting. By the way, I almost forgot. There are also many young ladies from the Chen family that you promised. Have a grandson."
Zhu Biao patted his cheeks, he really forgot about it, but it's time to do it, at least Li's family has been delayed for too long, and it should be included in the East Palace, or Li Shanchang would have to go to the East Palace to cry on crutches .
Zhu Biao naturally knew that Lao Zhu said that anyone could give birth, but in fact he was still urging him to give birth to the eldest son with the crown princess Chang Luohua, who was Zhu Yuanzhang's serious emperor's grandson, not another woman. Bastard.
Zhu Biao counted the days of his concubine, took a few steps forward and said: "I will work hard to let you and your mother embrace your grandson next year."
Zhu Yuanzhang laughed when he heard the words: "That's right, so our Zhu family's country can be passed on forever, and we can feel at ease when we leave."
Zhu Biao said with a smile when he heard the words: "Father, it's too early to say that, you can just hug your great-grandson with your body."
Zhu Yuanzhang was happy again. He is not too young. If he can really hold his great-grandson, he will really feel at ease, because at that time his grandson's character and ability can be seen.
Needless to say about himself and his son, if the grandson becomes a weapon again, at least the four generations of the Zhu family will be stable.
Zhu Yuanzhang was killed in troubled times, so he naturally knows that wealth is not forever, otherwise it would be his turn to be the king, but the fortune of the country for hundreds of years is enough to make the Zhu family's descendants spread all over the Ming Dynasty, there is only so much he can do as an old ancestor up.
Zhu Biao is indeed planning to make Chang Luohua pregnant at this time. As he faces the court and governs the East Palace, there will be more and more women. He has never had a son. trouble.
