Chapter 2 Shengjing Situation (2)
Chapter 2: Shengjing Storm (2)
In fact, Sahalin had another choice, that is, he had never seen this letter before, but after racking his brains, he actually completely forgot this one!
Just after the hour of Hai, Zhu Yinglong finished reviewing a memorial from the Lianghuai Salt Transportation Commissioner, stretched his waist and rubbed his sore eyes, but found that his stomach was unknowingly weakened a lot. To be precise, he felt hungry.
What should I eat for midnight snacks? Lotus seed soup, that thing is too sweet and not good, ginseng chicken soup, and my body is not bad, so why should I replenish that thing?
Suddenly, the people in the Nan Study Room "crunched" and a biting cold wind blew in. The cold wind blew in. Zhu Yinglong unconsciously shrank his neck and shook his body. The temperature in early winter night was already very low.
Eat hot pot! A brilliant idea came to Zhu Yinglong's mind. It was definitely a pleasure to eat hot pot in such a cold day, but eating hot pot alone was too boring. Yanhong and Lin Rong both asked themselves to go to bed. In addition to Xu Yingyuan, there were only a few eunuchs and palace maids who were on duty. Moreover, eating hot pot was not that trouble, so there was no need to startle Yanhong who had already fallen asleep.
But where did the people come from to eat with me? Zhu Yinglong thought about it and waved to Xu Yingyuan.
"You go ahead and see if the elders are still there. If you are there, please invite me." Zhu Yinglong ordered.
Xu Yingyuan stood beside him and was already bored and dozed off. When he heard that there was something to do, he naturally couldn't find it.
After Xu Yingyuan left, Zhu Yinglong ordered several eunuchs and palace maids to move all the things for eating hot pot into the Nanshu Room one by one. There were people on duty all night in the imperial kitchen. The emperor wanted to eat hot pot, but he started to move quickly. After a while, he brought the things he had assigned and put a large table full of them.
The hot pot base soup made by Danei Yuchang is something that most people can't eat outside. It is definitely unique. The emperor likes to eat hot pot. The imperial kitchen is specifically anxious to study several base soups for selection. Zhu Yinglong likes to eat spicy food, so hot pot base soup is mostly spicy. Tonight Zhu Yinglong chose the base soup "Sea of Daoshan and Fire". This name was named after Zhu Yinglong personally tasted it. When he ate it, it was tears and his nose fell. After eating it, it felt like he had walked back from the sea of Daoshan and Fire.
I don't know what wind was blowing tonight. The cabinet and the military machine pavilion were still on at this time. Logically speaking, the country is relatively calm now. Except for Mangui on the grassland, basically all places are silenced, and there are no major military operations. The disarmament and reorganization have reached the end of the stage. Many heavy tasks have almost been completed. The military machine pavilion should be relatively idle, but Zhu Yinglong and his decree to form the South China Sea Fleet, which has ruined the military machine pavilion. The navy is not as good as the army.
It is definitely a money-burning thing, so the military machine hall held a heated discussion on the scale of the South China Sea Fleet. Some people believe that the South China Sea Fleet should not be too large, because if the South China Sea Fleet was expanded based on the naval fleet of the Zheng family in Fujian, the Zheng family was not well-born and had done those despicable things. Therefore, there were many military machine halls, and the Zheng family did not have much favor. If the Zheng family regained power, they would have ambitions again, wouldn't this be too big? And the power in Hong Chengchou's hands are also
Many people have great fear. They control the southeast coast and are rich provinces. Such officials with territorial intentions will be a disaster for the court. Therefore, many people advocate taking Hong Chengchou's naval ministers or letting him separate from the army. Others believe that the court should start a new task and draw some officers from the East China Sea Fleet to form a new fleet. This will not only prevent the expansion of the Zheng family's strength, but if a fleet is built in a whole, it will not be said to be grouped.
The speed of construction will slow down greatly, and the court's funds will increase greatly. Both parties have their own reasons. After discussing, Sun Chengzong and others felt that both parties had their own reasons, and they were also worried about the excessive power in the hands of the Zheng family and Hong Chengchou. Therefore, Sun Chengzong summoned Xiong Tingbi, Zhang Guowei and others to discuss how to submit memorials to Zhu Yinglong. Several people discussed it over and over again, but they did not discuss a substantial result until Xu Yingyuan came to summon him.
In terms of the cabinet, the preparations for Enke have begun to be implemented next year, and the reform of the education system has also begun. The compilation of textbooks has become the top priority of the cabinet. The Ministry of Education only has half a year to complete the compilation and publication of all textbooks from the three levels of learning from the township and learning province. In addition to the "Four Books" and "Five Classics", the establishment of other disciplines and the compilation of textbooks will be a huge project. In the next few years, the Ministry of Education will definitely be the busiest yamen.
Xu Guangqi is reviewing a new law later. This law can be regarded as a new law. It was written under the initiative of Zhu Yinglong. It is the Marriage Law. There are many clauses in the Ming Dynasty law that are aimed at the marriage relationship between husband and wife, and there are some restrictions on the age of marriage. However, now it must be independent and become an independent code. Many unfair terms to women have been greatly modified. It is the legal marriage age established, which stipulates the marriage registration system, and mandatory provisions. After registration of marriage, the marriage relationship will be protected by the court, and the era when "a divorce letter" can be terminated is gone. The court that has not been registered does not recognize its marriage relationship, and is not protected by the court's laws, etc.!
This "Marriage Law" is also a shocking code. Once this code is promulgated, it will definitely be the biggest weapon to protect their minimum rights for women with low social status. In particular, this code will be promulgated nationwide with the imperial court's will to "be inferior to good" and will have an extremely huge influence. Therefore, Xu Guangqi attaches great importance to this "Marriage Law", and even reviews it word by word, for fear of a mistake.
With the onset of the rectification movement and the turmoil a while ago, a large number of corrupt officials were dismissed. Huang Zunsu's Ministry of Personnel brought huge work pressure because he needed more officials to fill these vacancy. The court has always been turbulent, and a large number of officials were also a time of power exchange. In order to cultivate their own lineages, or expand their influence, the Ministry of Personnel became a hot commodity. Huang Zunsu was tireless and had to hide in the cabinet and dare not Improperty, because the front and back doors of the house were blocked by those who asked for gifts, who were entrusted to invite, give gifts, buy officials, and run away.
These people were later dismissed from the rectification movement, and they were dismissed from office and went home to farm and sell sweet potatoes.
After hearing that the emperor summoned him overnight, Xu Guangqi and Huang Zunsu both left their work behind and rushed to the Yangxin Palace.
The five people rushed over, thinking that Zhu Yinglong had something important to summon them? How could they know that they were here to have midnight snacks and hot pot? They were all relieved.
Zhu Yinglong called the five of them to sit down together and said with a smile: "Why has the king and minister been sitting together for a long time? Come on, come on, come on, come on, I will invite you to hot pot tonight!"
"Your Majesty is so polite. Just now, the old minister thought that the emperor suddenly summoned the five of us. It turned out that they were eating hot pot. The hot pot in the palace tasted strong and the heat was sufficient, and there was another point, it was spicy enough. Looking at the table, it was colorful, and the old minister's saliva was left behind!" Sun Chengzong looked at the dishes on the table excitedly, and then sniffed the strong fragrance in the air, and said excitedly.
"Yes, I can't help but move my chopsticks!" Xiong Tingbi also said with all his eyes, staring at the rolling soup in the round copper plate in the middle, saliva flowing.
The other three were also excited to rub their hands. It would be a great honor to be able to eat with the emperor at the same table. Fortunately, these five people are close ministers, and they have not eaten before, so naturally they will not be nervous and can be let go.
"Come on, eat, I'm hungry." Zhu Yinglong couldn't wait, so he grabbed the chopsticks, first broke the mutton roll, poured it into the rolling copper plate, and then pointed to the mutton in the copper basin and introduced, "Classified as my dear, this mutton is a filial piety to me by Wu Sangui, who has sent me a total of thirty fat sheep on the Mongolian grasslands. This is what I just ordered to slaughter the imperial kitchen, but it's fresh!"
"Really, I can't wait." Xu Guangqi grabbed the chopsticks, reached into the copper basin, picked up a piece of mutton, and regardless of whether it was cooked or not, he drank some garlic paste and then put it into his mouth. As soon as the hot mutton entered his mouth, he almost burned his old tongue. His greedy look made people laugh, causing everyone to burst into laughter.
The mutton from the Mongolian grassland was indeed delicious, and the six people were having a lot of fun. With the spicy soup, a layer of sweat was already seen on the six people's foreheads.
"Emperor, how is that Dorgon now?" After almost half of his meal, everyone was 60% full, and Sun Chengzong asked.
"You don't ask today, I want to say it too." Zhu Yinglong took the handkerchief handed over by Xu Yingyuan, wiped his mouth, and said, "This person is indeed a rare talent. After my three visits to the cottage, he has now agreed to be loyal to me, the Ming Dynasty."
"Your Majesty, this is impossible!" Sun Chengzong exclaimed in surprise, and the other four people looked at Zhu Yinglong with their mouths. Obviously, this news was too shocked for them, and it was simply incredible.
Zhu Yinglong asked with a smile, "List of you as your dear, don't you believe what I said?"
Chapter completed!
