Chapter 27: Asking for the Ming Dynasty
There are no Sundays in the Ming Dynasty. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
This is a Christian thing, and although Catholics have begun to proselytize in China, it is clearly not to the point where they can influence the whole country. There is no such thing as a weekend, Zhu Cihong has to work every day, except for important times such as the Spring Festival, there is not even a time to breathe.
Zhu Cihong was the one who was going to prepare for a visit abroad, and after giving the Koreans a huge loan of 1 million yuan this time, Li Yuhao humbly resigned humbly and vigorously implored His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Empire to make preparations for a state visit to Korea.
Soon, Zhu Cihong will leave Jingshi.
Naturally, there is no need to continue to deal with those heavy government affairs on a daily basis.
Although Zhu Cihong's workload has been greatly reduced since he examined and approved the state plan and the financial budget plan, even if he wants to approve any major matter, he can still throw it into the various state advisory committees.
But...... His Majesty the Emperor is a benevolent man after all.
For this point, Yue Qingru especially agrees.
He merely mentioned the issue of rest in a private conversation with His Majesty the Emperor, which soon attracted His Majesty's attention.
Not long after, a letter requesting the recital of "Recital on a Holiday" was drawn up from the Ministry of Rites, submitted to the Cabinet, and then delivered to His Majesty's desk at lightning speed.
As usual, in duplicate, one copy was on His Majesty's desk and another copy was received in the State Advisory Council.
Holidays, of course, are, as the name suggests, to rest.
In comparison, there were too few holidays in the Ming Dynasty. In the beginning, the official holidays of the Ming Dynasty were only three days during the Zhu Yuanzhang period. That is, the Spring Festival, the winter solstice, and the emperor's birthday.
Of course, this will not last long. It didn't take long to add a month's holiday for the year-end Spring Festival. Later, the times changed, and the vacation was changed again, and the vacation was three days off a month. That is, one day in the first month, one day in the middle of the month, and another day in the second month.
Despite this, Zhu Cihong still seems to be too little.
For this reason, Zhu Cihong decided to reschedule the holidays of Daming.
During the holidays, Zhu Cihong added the date of the day when His Majesty the Emperor captured Hetuala, and December 1 as the national day of the empire.
At the same time, Zhu Cihong decided to take six days off in a month, one day off every five days.
No one understands why His Majesty the Emperor is so obsessed with eliminating Jiannu is a standard that can be worthy of the National Day. After all, for the Ming Dynasty, neither the Mongols, nor the Jurchens could defeat them.
But since His Majesty the Emperor insisted, naturally no one objected to this.
What's more, there can be an extra seven-day holiday on the National Day.
Of course, it is inevitable that many departments need to be on duty. These regulations were discussed by the Ministry of Rites and were completed and carefully submitted, and then submitted to His Majesty the Emperor.
As usual, such an important matter was handed over to the State Advisory Committee for approval. Because the members of the State Advisory Committee are obviously also within the scope of this holiday, it is natural that it will be passed quickly.
This may be the fastest approval of the bill after the implementation of the bill, Yue Qingru is very happy to enjoy the new day of holiday on February 16.
There is no need to rush to the yamen early in the morning, and there is no painful morning dynasty of the monthly ritual, Yue Qingru easily lay a bed at home, and slept until three poles in the morning, then he woke up leisurely and enjoyed a wonderful day.
It's just that although the court gave him a day off, Yue Qingru, as the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and the waiter in charge of diplomacy obviously couldn't live in peace.
Knock knock knock......
It is said that the prime minister has seven grades in front of the door, although Yue Qingru is only a third grade, the porter feels that he also has a nine grades. At this moment, he looked at the person who came in outside the door without raising his eyelids, and looked at it slightly.
If you can be a doorman, not to mention anything else, you must have eyesight and the ability to improvise.
Eyesight is to have the ability to see who the other party is and what identity it is.
Naturally, this requires considerable experience.
Obviously, Le Yan has this ability.
He just glanced over and recognized a foreigner on the other side. This is not a thought for Le Yan. What is the position of his master, others don't know, isn't he clear?
After a while, Le Yan swept his gaze forward, and paid a little more attention in his heart. The man in the lead was a Ming man, well-dressed and richly dressed, and was obviously not a mortal. After looking at it again, his gaze swept over the scribe in front of him, and Le Yan took a closer look, and couldn't help but think about it for a long time in his heart.
Although the man hiding behind the scribe was not tall, he had his head up, and he had the momentum of a person who had been in the position for a long time. Although this person is interesting to keep such momentum from people to see, but how can he hide such a thing?
Le Yan couldn't help but silently compare this person with his own master, and found that the two were not far behind, and even the one in front of him might have a stronger aura.
Thinking like this, Le Yan became solemn, and he had a premonition that something was wrong.
The first in line is Yueqing Confucian's fellow countryman, and he is also in Beijing to prepare for the next year's big competition, Chen Jianhong. Chen Jianhongsheng has a good appearance, gentle manners, and treats people very appropriately.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door, Chen Jianhong did not have the arrogance of an ordinary scholar, walked out in three steps and two steps, stepped forward and saluted Le Yan first: "Steward Le, the students are here to disturb again." ”
Stretching out his hand not to hit the smiling person, not to mention that Chen Jianhong still has fame on him, but he is so polite to him, which naturally makes Le Yan accumulate a lot of goodwill, and said with a smile: "Mr. Liu came so early today, I don't know what the important task is?" ”
"It's a must-have, but today I heard that Lord Le was resting, and it was rare to have a leisure, so I remembered that I had made an appointment with Master Le for a chess game before. Usually, I can't beat Lord Le a few times, but today I invited a master, but I want to fight with Lord Le again! Chen Jianhong said with a smile, but let Le Yan glance at it a few times, smiled, and didn't say much.
"Please also let the villain ask the master ......"
"There is work, there is work." After saying that, Chen Jianhong handed over a silver ingot without a trace.
Not long after, Chen Jianhong smoothly led people into Yueqingru's study.
"I heard that Zhengfu has found a Go master, and he wants to fight with the old man. The old man remembered it, but his hands were very itchy, so he came over early after using it hastily. Let the old man see, which national player is it? Yue Qingru glanced at it, but saw Abe Zhongqiu walking up slowly.
"Exactly down there." When the jerky Chinese words came out, Yue Qingru's eyes immediately stared.
Yue Qingru took a deep look at it, feeling a little tired and proud: "This group of Japanese, it is really as Your Majesty said, they have come here." ”
There is obviously only one reason why the Japanese are so sneaky in this way.
They have a request for the Ming Dynasty.
