Chapter 1652, lazy people
The news of the prince returning to Beijing in the East Palace was instantly smashed in the East Palace. Zhu Houzhao's concubines were even more surprised, and they sent people to inquire about the news, and they also began to dress up carefully.
"I still know how to come back. I have been leaving for more than half a year. I know how many women I will bring back this time."
When the Crown Princess Xia learned the news, it was aggrieved and tears were about to fall out.
Since she married Zhu Houzhao and became the Crown Princess, there are so many rules in the palace. The key is that Zhu Houzhao is a big flirtatious carrot. There are too many women. She is not as good as the Crown Princess twice a year, and her stomach has not moved yet.
This made her very anxious.
Since ancient times, the royal women have always been honored by their sons. As the crown princess and the future queen, if they do not give birth to a son or half of their daughters, their status will definitely be unstable.
You should know that Zhu Houzhao has dozens of children, a lot of sons, and the crying of babies can be heard everywhere in the East Palace, but she, the Crown Princess, has not yet moved.
How could she not be anxious? But Zhu Houzhao left for more than half a year, so she had no chance at all.
"The prince is here~"
She was extremely resentful, but when the sound of the prince's arrival sounded, she quickly wiped away her tears and hurriedly asked the palace maid to carefully organize and dress her up.
Soon, Zhu Houzhao walked in like an old man.
"I have seen Your Highness~"
Xia is both happy and excited now. As soon as the prince comes back, he is the first to come to him. Obviously, he has not forgotten himself and remembers himself as the princess.
"Yeah~"
Zhu Houzhao nodded, then stretched out his hand. Liu Jin, who was beside him, immediately ordered a person to carry a large box in. When he opened it, there was a complete set of Hetian jadeware, a complete set of gold and silver jewelry, a few good furs, plus some specialties brought back from the Western Regions and Hezhong.
"This time I went to the Western Regions and other places to inspect, and I brought you something, but I don't know if you like it or not."
Zhu Houzhao held Xia's hand, looking lustful.
I have eaten too many foreigners in the Western Regions and other places, but I miss the delicious food in my hometown.
The fact that Xia was elected as the Crown Princess was naturally chosen after many choices, and it was impeccable in any aspect.
"I like it, I like it very much, thank you."
When the prince's mansion saw it, he was even happier.
When the prince went out, he still remembered bringing gifts to himself. Although as the prince's concubine, she naturally did not lack these things, but the prince gave them completely differently.
"Ha, just like it!"
"I'm out, do you miss me?"
"Your Highness~"
When Zhu Houzhao saw it, he picked up Xia and kissed her mouth.
When the palace maids and eunuchs around him saw it, they immediately walked out with tactful tact.
Soon, the waves were rolling, and the gentle and moving voices kept ringing, which made the palace maids waiting outside blush.
Zhu Houzhao, who was refreshed, walked towards the Qianqing Palace again, and gave him a complete set of gifts. With his eloquent mouth, Queen Zhang, who had always spoiled him, was naturally amused by him and laughed.
In the Shangshu Room, Emperor Hongzhi was reviewing the memorial.
Since Liu Jin became a minister of the cabinet, Liu Jian and Li Dongyang were Buddhists and lazy, the main things of the cabinet fell on Liu Jin. Liu Jin has always been lazy and pays great attention to efficiency in his work, so he has also made changes to many things in the cabinet.
One of the most important ones is to classify the memorials written by various departments, government offices, and places, and divide them into priorities. For memorials such as flattery and greetings, they are too lazy to read. Even if you see such memorials for the second time, Liu Jin will directly scold and criticize the officials.
Madan, whether it is his own time or Emperor Hongzhi's time, it is extremely precious. He also asks you every day and flatters. The key is to give him a greeting, but he still has a few thousand words.
After reading the whole article, my eyes were tired, but in the end, I flattered and greeted memorials were simply wasting time, energy, manpower and material resources.
If you don’t criticize it hard, there will be no matter where you can. If you submit a similar memorial, you will give you a bad review of the assessment, and you will even be given a remote area to become an official.
After such operations, the number of memorials submitted by various departments, government offices and places has decreased dramatically. Originally, the cabinet could receive thousands of memorials a day. After careful reading by the cabinet ministers, there were at least a few hundred memorials to Emperor Hongzhi.
You can imagine that a person has to read hundreds of memorials a day, and these memorials are often hundreds of or thousands of words. Some of them like to show off their literary talent and wish they could write tens of thousands of memorials to you.
The workload is so large that it cannot be completed by one person at all. The key is that you have to do this work one year to the end, and you have to do it every day. There are memorials every day. If you don’t finish it today, there will be new ones tomorrow.
This may be an important reason why the emperors of the Ming Dynasty did not like to go to the morning court and did not like to criticize memorials, because they really couldn't criticize and could not see it. It would be difficult to last for a while if they changed their individuals.
That is, only an emperor like Emperor Hongzhi, who was diligent and serious and carefully looked at these memorials. The result can be imagined that at a young age, he was ineffective, and he was extremely haggard.
The key is that his time and energy have been wasted on some irrelevant things. Many times, a flattery by the officials below wasted more than ten minutes of your time. There are many such memorials. Since ancient times, there have been many people who flatter the emperor. I don’t know how many people flatter the emperor.
In addition to the irrelevant memorials, those memorials that really have something to do, these officials are always literati. They originally wrote down what they had and probably used to solve the problem, and just do multiple-choice questions for the people above.
But this was not the case with these officials in ancient times. They first had to show off their literary knowledge, quote classics, and use the past to describe the present. That was normal.
If a small thing is not written a memorial of thousands of words, it will be a waste of time to submit memorials to the emperor. Things that can be explained clearly in one sentence must be like the foot binding of a bad woman, making it smelly and long.
I'm afraid that the emperor will not know that you are very literary and knowledgeable.
There is no doubt that this will greatly waste time and energy. Whether it is the emperor or the ministers in the cabinet, they are busy with business and tight time. Where can I waste time on your showing off your literary talent?
Liu Jin, a lazy person, naturally would not let such things go on forever.
If you are not in control of others, you can’t control yourself, but if you become this cabinet minister, you naturally have to change the unhealthy trend. All memorials are written too long and you must return to them. You must be concise and easy to understand. Don’t go around and make people guess and think about it. It’s really tiring.
After such an operation, the volume of melody was greatly reduced. I could no longer see the melody of flattery and greetings. Liu Jin became stern, which was to directly bring you to the northwest province to experience the cold winter and wilderness.
The real memorial to the matter is to directly propose corresponding solutions. Don’t show off your literary knowledge. National affairs are not a joke, nor are you the personal literary talent. If you really have literary talent, publish your own book and pass on your reputation for eternity.
This efficiency naturally improved suddenly. There were only a few hundred memorials left to the cabinet every day, and you could tell what was going on with just a glance.
It is not an important matter, the cabinet can handle it directly, and the important matters will be handed over to the emperor for review.
When Emperor Hongzhi came to Emperor Hongzhi, the amount of memorials was greatly reduced. When it was too small, there were only a few dozen books a day, and when it was too many, it was only a hundred books. Emperor Hongzhi spent one or two hours a day to complete the processing.
"It's still Liu Jin's work that makes people feel comfortable!"
“Precautions for efficiency!”
"There are few comments every day, and it is a national event. You can think about it carefully if you have enough time."
"It's not like before. Looking at the mountain of memorials, I feel very stressed. I always think that I can go and rest and rest early."
Emperor Hongzhi finished the last memorial and looked outside. It was still early and the sun did not set.
If it were the case before, the memorial would not be completed, and I would have to work overtime until late at night every day to read it.
That was really tired. Sometimes my eyes were sore and wept. I could only let Xiao Jingnian listen to him. I didn’t have much time to rest.
Because I reviewed the memorials very late and the morning court was early, I was so tired every day that I was half tired. However, the Ming Dynasty was not well managed, and people were criticized for the Hongzhi Revival every day, but the people lived in great difficulty. What kind of bullshit revival was just flattering the officials below.

"Your Majesty, Liu Jin, he is also a lazy person. He has always paid attention to efficiency. If you want him to be a cabinet minister, you can also be much more relaxed."
Xiao Jing, who was standing beside him, also said with a smile, he was already in his seventies, and he watched Emperor Hongzhi grow up. Why did Emperor Hongzhi really have a relatively relaxed life now?
"Haha, right? I'll just say that Liu Jin is a lazy guy."
"It's better to be lazy. lazy people have a lazy way, lazy people have a lazy and rich."
"Look at the current memorials, the number is small, but they are all talking about state affairs directly. If there are any major and important things that can be handled in time, the past memorials are really tiring."
Emperor Hongzhi said with a smile. He felt a headache when he remembered the past memorials piled up like mountains of pictures.
