    "Your Highness, Nanzhen Fusi is in charge of public security in the capital. It is very easy according to the old practice, but it is not so easy to replace the yamen servants with Jin Yiwei. However, I will start to do it now. I think it is not a problem to figure it out slowly. It's just  Sending spies to Donglu and Mongolia cannot be accomplished overnight. It will be difficult for the subordinates to break into the slave chief within a year. Please allow your Highness some time!" Although he agreed, Luo Sigong also raised his own difficulties and requirements.

    "Master Luo's words are serious. If you send people to infiltrate the bottom of Near Eastern Lu, and then gradually climb up, you may not be able to contact the slave chiefs in those ten years, but you can communicate with Donglu and Mongolia through business contacts.  The higher-ups get in touch, and will naturally receive various messages during this period. However, the most important thing is to establish a safe and smooth information transmission system to ensure that Donglu's movements are transmitted back as quickly as possible. Of course, this matter does take time to perfect.  , you Jin Yiwei should work harder!" Zhu Youxiao called Luo Sigong professionally, and at the same time relaxed a little about the time limit.

    "Your Highness said so, and I understood what to do!" Luo Sigong had an idea after hearing Zhu Youxiao's words. Although he was surprised by Zhu Youxiao's understanding of this kind of thing, he still bowed and agreed.

    "In this case, I'll leave the specific things to you, but Gu Ke will also give you some tips. If you want to get people to Donglu as soon as possible, you can start from Shanxi, and along the way, send Jin  Let Gu figure out all Shang's affairs. You only need to remember one thing. If you do a good job, Gu will not hesitate to reward you. If you do not do well, Gu will not be too harsh. But if someone betrays the court, even if it is the end of the world, Gu will destroy him.  Nine tribes!" Zhu Youxiao gave Luo Sigong a reassurance and put a steel knife on his neck.

    "I ask your Highness to rest assured. The Jinyi Guards, including me and below, will definitely be loyal to Your Highness and the court. If there is anyone who is disobedient, even if it is my own son, I will personally cut off his head and present it to His Highness!" Luo Sigong heard this.  I couldn't help but tremble in my heart, and immediately knelt down and said sonorously!

    "Whether it is Dongchang or Jinyiwei, they are all related to the lifeblood of the imperial court. All personnel must be kept confidential in the palace. If anyone leaks it, the nine clans will be destroyed directly. However, the imperial court and the royal family will never be sorry for everyone. I am alone.  I swear to heaven that for those who sacrifice their lives for the country, the court and the royal family will be responsible for supporting their families. For those who retire after their achievements, they will be given money and officials. In short, they will not treat the meritorious officials badly!" Zhu Youxiao slapped him.  Then he gave me a sweet date, which made Wang An and Luo Sigong kowtow in gratitude!

    After finishing the business, Zhu Youxiao didn¡¯t stay with Luo Sigong and asked Wang An to send him out of the palace. After all, adjusting the personnel transfer of the North and South Town Fu Division is not an easy task. Luo Sigong will probably be busy for a while.

    Zhu Youxiao looked at the sky and saw that it was already close to 10 noon. This made Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "This emperor's job is really not that easy to do!"

    In the next few days, although Zhu Youxiao had been living in the Wenhua Palace, he did not deliberately summon any ministers. After Fang Congzhe and others had their affairs, they were all invited in and sent out as a routine. During this period, Zhu Youxiao  Youxiao's nanny, Hakka, also came here, but after being comforted by Zhu Youxiao for a few words, she was sent directly out of the palace to go to the farm to retire!

    Zhu Youxiao's indifference to the courtiers did not shake Fang Congzhe's enthusiasm for work at all. Instead, the old man devoted more energy to his work than before. Fang Congzhe only has two key tasks now. The first is to prepare for Zhu Youxiao's ascension to the throne.  Grand ceremony, the second is the operation of the Northland Water Conservancy Project and the South-to-North Grain Diversion!

    On the contrary, the Donglin Party, which was originally noisy and full of enthusiasm, suddenly died down. However, regardless of the situation in the court, Zhu Youxiao's enthronement ceremony was still held on the sixth day of September in the forty-eighth year of Wanli. Because two emperors died in succession, Zhu Youxiao  The school's coronation ceremony was not grand.

    However, according to the regulations, Zhu Youxiao was first canonized as the prince in the Wenhua Palace, and then after three invitations from the courtiers, Zhu Youxiao resigned three times and the courtiers invited him again, he moved to Qianqing Palace and accepted the worship of hundreds of officials, and he officially became the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty.  The fifteenth emperor, and the year was named Tianqi. From September to the end of the 48th year of Wanli, it was the first year of Taichang, and the following year it was changed to the year of Tianqi!

    Next, Emperor Taichang Zhu Changluo was buried in Qingling. After everything was completed, the Ming Dynasty truly entered a new era. Of course, all the complicated etiquette did not require the emperor Zhu Youxiao to plan and decide. He  Just follow the script like a puppet.

    But Zhu Youxiao soon discovered that whether it was the enthronement ceremony with complicated etiquette or the solemn and mournful burial of the late emperor, it was not really a hard thing. What was really hard was the daily work of an emperor, especially in the Ming Dynasty.  This is especially true in such a backward era!

    For Zhu Youxiao, reviewing memorialsHe Zaochao is simply a fatal errand. I don¡¯t know which perverted emperor stipulated that all matters must be written by officials in memorials and submitted to the emperor. Then the emperor will approve them and then send them back. Hundreds of memorials are sent up every day, and most of them are  Most of it is useless nonsense, it's like using the emperor as a wastebasket!

    If reviewing memorials was something that the emperor had to do in order to centralize power, then the morning court meeting was definitely a self-inflicted and useless thing for Zhu Youxiao. Even though Zhu Youxiao practiced hard every day, he could not do it at four o'clock every day.  It is also unbearable to get up as soon as you arrive and then go to the Hall of Supreme Harmony in the dark to attend court!

    So at the court meeting held on September 15th of the first year of Taichang, Zhu Youxiao launched an attack on this evil system. After paying homage to all the officials in the morning that day, Wang An shouted as usual: "My lords, if you have something to do, report it early, and if you have nothing to do, leave early."  towards!"

    Before the officials came out to report, Zhu Youxiao said: "I would like to ask you what you did after you retired from the court?"

    All the officials in the court didn't know why the little emperor asked this. They all looked at each other in confusion but didn't know how to answer. After a while of silence, the first assistant Fang Congzhe came out of the class and said: "Long live the Qi Dynasty, each of my ministers has his own duties. Please retire from the court."  After that, everyone will naturally be busy!"

    Zhu Youxiao curled his lips and asked: "Don't you all sacrifice your lives for the public and don't have any private matters? For example, catching up on sleep, drinking, bragging with colleagues, and spending time with your lovely wife and concubine?"

    Fang Congzhe was stunned when he heard this. He didn't know why the little emperor was saying this in the court, but he could only say awkwardly: "Officials are also mortals. They must combine work and rest in order to serve the country!"

    Zhu Youxiao nodded and said: "Mr. Fang Ge is right, only by combining work and rest can we do good things. Therefore, I announced that the morning court will be changed from the third quarter of the Mao hour to the third quarter of the Si hour. In addition, officials below the fourth rank do not have to attend the early morning court except for the big court. I don't know.  What do you think?"

    "Your Majesty, this must not be done!" Before Zhu Youxiao finished speaking, Liu Yishen rushed out of the courtroom and shouted: "At three quarters of the day, the early dynasty has been passed down for thousands of years. These are wise kings and wise ministers since ancient times.  It is a symbol of working tirelessly for the country. If Your Majesty changes this thousand-year rule, it will inevitably promote the trend of laziness and enjoyment in the court, so this proposal of my opinion is definitely not feasible!"

    In fact, Zhu Youxiao proposed changing the morning court time, and most of the ministers agreed in their hearts. After all, this morning court was too torturous. In terms of later generations, the morning court meant going to court at five o'clock in the morning. Whether it was the emperor or the ministers, they generally had to go to court at five o'clock in the morning.  Get up around three or four o'clock and get ready.

    The emperor was lucky. After all, he could still get some advantages by living in the palace, but those ministers were not so lucky. In the Ming Dynasty, there were neither cars nor subways, so people had to rely on sedans to get in and out. Many officials who lived far away, in order to  You even have to get up and go out at two or three o'clock in the morning to go to morning!

    ??????????????? It would be okay if it was summer, I would get up early and do morning exercises, but in winter when the days are short and the nights are long, going out at two or three in the morning and then waiting outside the palace gate would feel like going to court!

    It is almost the same as torture. This is when the weather is good. If it is windy or rainy, the suffering will be insignificant!
