Chapter 48: Meeting the Mission
Zhu Youxiao is naturally just acting. People can see the double act between Zhu Youxiao and Yang Lian and the ministers. Just use appropriate warnings. If you say too much, it will be a mess of the play.
"Since this incident has happened, there is no way to recover it. However, the anti-corruption bureau's approach this time has greatly affected the operation of various government affairs in the court. There must be someone responsible. Yang Lian, as the anti-corruption bureau's official, you are in charge of the crime and you will be punished for your crime. The monthly salary will be fined!"
Zhu Youzhao's punishment seems to be severe, but in fact it has no effect at all. The Anti-Corruption Bureau is a structure established by Zhu Youzhao, and it is affiliated with the cabinet yamen. The salary is actually very low. However, Zhu Youzhao pays bonuses based on performance. Every time the anti-Corruption Bureau is involved, there are some gray incomes allowed by Zhu Youzhao. What's more, people like Yang Lian care about money at all. Such ministers who are good at speaking are full of righteousness and sometimes they can abandon their lives for the sake of truth, let alone a month's salary.
"As the emperor said, I am really a bit unruly in handling this matter, and I am willing to accept the punishment!" Yang Lian knew very well that this was the rule of the court. Even though he was acting, he had to act like that.
Zhu Youxiao shouted again at this time: "Can the Minister of Works be there?"
Zhu Youxiao was nonsense. Wang Zuo was naturally present in such a morning dynasty, but Zhu Youxiao was very dissatisfied with Wang Zuo. This time he knew the ancient questions.
When Wang Zuo saw Wan Ying coming out to report the memorial, he knew something was wrong, and he had already prepared in his heart. When he heard Zhu Youxiao ask, he hurriedly left the line and knelt in the hall, and shouted to Zhu Youxiao: "Your Majesty, I don't know anything about the matter of Master Wan just now. Since the day before yesterday, I have been dealing with the Ministry of Works with Lord Yang Lian of the Anti-Corruption Bureau to deal with the internal corruption of the Ministry of Works. Some affairs of the Ministry of Works have been delayed!"
Zhu Youxiao saw that the results were achieved, not to mention that Yang Lian had already made Yang Lian very hard. If Wang Zuo was investigated, the Ministry of Works was not paralyzed, so he said impatiently: "I am not holding you accountable. The fault of the matter is not with my good friend. But now the matter has happened. Although the construction task of the Beijing Industrial Zone is only the matter of the Ministry of Works Management Department, the construction of the Beijing Industrial Zone cannot be stopped without any responsibilities. After the court meeting, my good friend will go back to handle this problem. If it doesn't work, you can go to the big wooden factory yourself. The Liuli Factory is responsible for the dispatch. As well as the assistant ministers of the Ministry of Works, the doctors can take care of the following matters first, and wait until the Anti-corruption Bureau problem is handled, and then add candidates! How about this deal?"
This method is also reasonable. Wang Zuo replied: "The emperor's plan is very appropriate. After the empress withdraws from the court, he will definitely deal with this issue well, live up to the emperor's expectations, and do not delay the construction of the capital industrial zone!"
"Okay! OK! Since you understand, I'll have anything else to report to you?" Zhu Youxiao slowly got into the state, and the sleepiness that had just happened to fly far away.
Sun Chengzong was getting more and more excited when he saw Zhu Youxiao on the side. He probably forgot about receiving the North Korean mission, and said, "Your Majesty, today's court meeting was to receive the North Korean mission. At this moment, the North Korean mission has been waiting outside the palace for a long time. Let the guests wait for a long time, but it has fallen into the majesty of the etiquette state of my Great Ming Dynasty!"
Zhu Youxiao knew very well that the biggest shortcoming of the Ming Dynasty officials was good face. Everything was not about how to gain greater benefits for the country, but how to preserve the majesty of the Ming Dynasty. Although this was understandable in terms of protecting the value of the brand, Zhu Youxiao did not take this trick. The national interests were national interests. You talked about etiquette to others, but those barbaric nations would tell you about these things. Did the Ming Dynasty suffer less? The Later Jin was established, and the cavalry of the Later Jin defeated the Ming Dynasty's army. However, the Ming Dynasty still wanted face and refused to face this reality.
Zhu Youxiao deliberately delayed the North Korean missions, but in fact he wanted to suppress the North Korean missions. Although North Korea is a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, North Korea has a certain amount of freedom. There are some things that the Ming Dynasty cannot directly order directly. Therefore, some important matters still need to be negotiated. In order to deal with this negotiation, Zhu Youxiao had already summoned the envoys sent to North Korea to negotiate with the King of North Korea. After thinking about it for a while, he came up with such a trick.
"Since Sun Aiqing said this, let's forget it today. However, if you have any questions, you can submit memorials to me. I have been trying very hard to review the memorials recently, but I have something to say. I know that all my good friends are very good, but memorials are memorials. Whenever I see those memorials like eight-legged essays, they read very smoothly, but I feel very different. Of course, I am not saying that the simpler you write, the better, but I still write in front of the memorial.
Introduction, it is best to add a few keywords, so that the Tongzheng and Envoy Department can classify the memorials of your dear ministers, and I can quickly review the memorials!" Zhu Youxiao had been struggling for a long time, but actually wanted these ministers to write the memorials into the paper format. Think about how those scientific researchers found the documents they needed from ocean-like documents. For example, if Zhu Youxiao wanted to know the news about the Tongzhou New Army in the future, he only needed to find out the keywords of the Tongzhou New Army. This efficiency could be improved a lot.
"Oh, I haven't finished it yet. I have prepared the format and stored it in the Tongzheng Envoy Department. The sample cabinet and the six departments and many major yamen will be distributed. My dear friends will write it according to that requirement in the future. From the late this month, all memorials will need to meet the requirements before they can be included in the Tongzheng Envoy Department. I have to say so much. My dear friends, you have to spend some time studying and studying, okay! Let the envoys of the North Korean envoys come in!"
"The North Korean envoys meet!" the eunuch in front of the hall shouted at the top of his voice.
After a while, several eunuchs led Li Haizan, Li Yuanze and several important figures from the North Korean mission entered the hall.
"I am a substitute for the Korean King Gwanghae-jun Lee Hui to pay tribute to the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, etiquette, righteousness, benevolence, wisdom and trustworthiness."
According to the etiquette, the eight-day ceremony was first performed. After the ceremony, Li Haizan, the official envoy of the congratulations, wanted to send a congratulation to Emperor Zhu Youxiao of the Ming Dynasty: "The Ming Dynasty is as kind as a mountain to our country, and the king of our country always admires the Celestial Empire..."
After a while, Zhu Youxiao was confused. He often heard a lot of flattery on weekdays, but they were all private occasions. This time, Zhu Youxiao saw the greatness. After finally waiting for Li Haizan to finish reading, he said, "Is your king Li Hui okay now?" This is also a routine question. When Zhu Youxiao was guided by the Wei Dynasty yesterday, he was still laughing at this. This is a bit similar to the military parade in later generations.
Seeing that Zhu Youxiao was a little young, even young, it was difficult to connect with the rumored omnipotent and versatile Zhu Youxiao. However, although Li Haizan was suspicious, he could not express it. He replied: "Thank you for the care of the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, the king of our country has always been in good health!"
"What's your name? I've worked hard all the way, thank you for your hard work!" This is also a matter of a routine question.
Li Haizan had already thought about these questions dozens of times, and it took no time to deal with them.
"The little minister is Li Haizan, the chief envoy of the Korean envoy. Here he represents the king of our country to pay tribute to the Emperor of Ming Dynasty." After that, he took out a brilliant note from his arms.
"This is a list of tributes this time!" Li Haizan said again
Zhu Youxiao suddenly remembered that Li Haizan didn't even need to translate. Do Koreans speak Chinese? He asked: "You can speak the language of my Ming Dynasty? I took that list to show me. There are some rare things, not all ginseng or something! Those are all good things!" The emperor was too lazy to read about this list. First, it was during the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty was a central country, and its economy and culture were far superior to those surrounding vassal states. In addition to tribute to some local specialties, those vassal states really couldn't make the emperor of the Ming Dynasty like it. Secondly, the Chinese people are accustomed to not disassembling them in person. Of course, Zhu Youxiao was a guy who didn't care about anything. He thought about what he did, so he would do it.
Wei Chao was busy sending the list to Zhu Youxiao, and Zhu Youxiao picked up the list and took a look.
"One hundred high-quality Korean ginseng, three coral trees, bow-faced carved feathers, white tiger skin, leopard skin..." There is also white tiger skin. This was a good thing in ancient times. The tiger was probably a Siberian tiger. It is estimated that the demise of the Siberian tiger fell into trouble from this time.
"The things are not very good!" Zhu Youxiao looked at it for a long time and suddenly said something, almost choking everyone in the hall to death by his saliva.
Sun Chengzong had known that Zhu Youxiao was such a person who was so ruthless, but Zhu Youxiao's riots made the North Korean envoys embarrassed, even the officials of the Ming Dynasty were very discordant, and they said from the side: "Emperor, North Korea is a vassal state of my Ming Dynasty. Its material resources are limited. Our Ming Dynasty's national strength is strong and we are not short of tributes from North Korea. The tributes from North Korea show respect for the emperor and respect for the Ming Dynasty. How can the emperor dislike the simplicity of the tribute!"
Now the entire court probably has the courage and ability to correct Zhu Youxiao, or the only one who accuses Zhu Youxiao was Sun Chengzong, and other people like Xu Guangqi did not have the courage and ability.
Zhu Youxiao curled his lips and Sun Chengzong had been a teacher at Zhu Youxiao. Although Zhu Youxiao was originally knowledgeable and Sun Chengzong did not teach Zhu Youxia anything, Zhu Youxiao learned about the world of the Ming Dynasty through Sun Chengzong. What's more, as a later student, respecting teachers deeply imprinted into the depths of his soul, so he could still accept Sun Chengzong's words!
