"Your Majesty, everything is stable in the court. Some matters have been handled well by the elders in the cabinet, and there are no other major incidents. Here is a list of some recent events, please take a look, Your Majesty." After saying that, Chen Hong presented a booklet.
Reaching out to take the booklet, Zhu Youxiao flipped through it and found that there was indeed nothing big going on.
He probably understood, after all, this was his wedding. He wouldn't have a very good impression of anyone who caused trouble during the emperor's wedding, regardless of whether they were right or wrong.
Ministers generally do not make such mistakes.
However, there was one thing that caught Zhu Youxiao's attention, that is, Zhao Nanxing had already judged the case.
It was basically the same as the last time. The leaders were beheaded, the rest had their homes confiscated, and their families were all sent to Liaodong as exiles.
It was handled this way last time, and it will be handled this way this time too. There's nothing wrong with it. The cabinet has given the draft and approved it. If I agree, the Imperial Household Department will give the green light, and then it will be handled this way.
Zhu Youxiao nodded and said, "Okay, let's do it this way."
Zhu Youxiao smiled and put down the book in his hand. The matter could come to an end at this point. His early preparations were almost completed, and he could imagine what to do next.
In fact, Zhu Youxiao knew what to do.
What I need to do next is nothing more than a few directions:
The first priority must be military. Without an army, one can do nothing, and Nurhaci is eyeing them covetously from outside, so training troops is the first priority.
The second thing should be making money. You have to find a way to get a lot of money. Without money, you can't do anything, whether it is future natural disasters, rebellions, or training new troops.
You have to think about this. Although you can make some money by confiscating houses, you can't do it all the time. If you do, it will cause a lot of trouble.
It’s okay for some people to oppose you as the emperor, it’s okay for some people to dislike you, but you absolutely cannot let everyone oppose you, you cannot let everyone dislike you.
To quote an old saying, it's like pulling one faction to fight the other. Now that the fight is over, it's time to pull the other faction.
Although Xu Guangqi was recruited by himself, he did not have any direct subordinates to help him with the money.
If you want to get involved in the economy, someone must work for you financially, otherwise there is no hope.
In addition to these two points, the third place should be officials.
Although he temporarily calmed the disputes in the court, defeated the Donglin Party, and brought Xu Guangqi to power, Xu Guangqi was still very weak. Although he had help from local people, they were not many.
Moreover, things in officialdom are very complicated. It doesn't mean that I must help you do things just because I am your person, but you have to bring me enough benefits.
The ideological struggle, the establishment of an academy, and next year's imperial examination are his next work priorities.
None of the three directions is easy to do, but you still have to do it. If you don’t do it, it will definitely be worse, so take it slow!
My situation now is much better than when I just traveled through time. At least Liaodong is safe and I don’t have to worry.
After standing up and stretching his muscles, Zhu Youxiao walked out of the house.
Looking at the bright sunshine outside and breathing a breath of fresh air, Zhu Youxiao was in a good mood. Today he was finally in the mood to enjoy the sunshine.
"Your Majesty, Minister of Rites Shen Tingyun requests to see you." Chen Hong came to Zhu Youxiao and said with a bow.
Zhu Youxiao didn't expect that someone would come to see him at this time.
My wedding had just ended three days ago, and they came. I didn’t expect that it was Shen Tingyun who came. It seemed that he was really anxious.
Zhu Youxiao had no way to deal with this
Shen Tingyun was promoted by himself, and he is a man who gets practical work done. You can't vent your anger on him just because of this.
So Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said, "Let him in!"
Not long after, Shen Tingyun walked in from outside.
He had two huge dark circles under his eyes and the whites of his eyes were red. It was obvious that he had been staying up late.
When Zhu Youxiao got married, the Ministry of Rites was busy all the time, and Shen Tingyun was afraid of making any mistakes.
Shen Tingyun was very clear about his situation. Countless people regarded him as a thorn in their eyes and wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible, so he dared not make any mistakes. He could only work hard every day, making himself very tired.
Although Shen Tingyun should have a good rest and knew that he should not disturb Zhu Youxiao at this time, he really couldn't pretend anymore.
Shen Tingyun needs to finalize things as soon as possible, even if it is delayed after it is finalized, it must be finalized early.
"I am the Minister of Rites, Shen Tingyun, and I pay my respects to Your Majesty." After seeing Zhu Youxiao, Shen Tingyun hurriedly saluted.
Zhu Youxiao waved his hand to signal him to stand up, and asked with a smile, "My dear, is there anything you need?"
"Your Majesty, I know I shouldn't disturb you at this time, but the matter is urgent. I hope your Majesty will forgive me." Shen Tingyun bowed again.
