Zhu Cilang looked at the circle of memorials in front of him, most of them were congratulatory statements presented by local officials from all over the country, but Zhu Cilang was not confused by the scene in front of him.

Today, when the Ming Dynasty looked at the flowers, there were actually crises everywhere, and the budding of capitalism in Western countries has begun to appear.

If the Ming Dynasty stopped like this, things like the Opium War would sooner or later. Zhu Cilang must be calm at this time. Others can be blinded by the victory in front of them, but Zhu Cilang is absolutely not allowed.

"Your Highness, Lord Zhang, the Minister of Rites, is here."

Cao Renli came in to repay the celebration that was created by people from the Ministry of Rites, but as the Minister of Rites, Zhang Shenyan was not very enthusiastic about such things. From the beginning to now, others have pushed him away.

"Please come in."

Zhang Shenyan did not bring his subordinates in. In the past two days, Zhang Shenyan met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince almost every day.

But every day we talk about celebrations. Today, Zhu Cilang came alone and wondered what was going on. After someone brought tea, Zhu Cilang waited to see what Zhang Shenyan was going to say.

"If you have something to say, why bother stutter? It's not like our monarch and ministers for a day or two. Although we encountered some misunderstandings at the beginning, we have figured it out now. Don't you still know the character of this man? If you have anything to say directly, you can avoid being suspicious here, and instead guessing the original meaning."

Zhu Cilang saw Zhang Shenyan's desire to speak but stopped, and he must have something to do with this old guy. In fact, Zhu Cilang also realized that when the celebration was held in the past two days, Zhang Shenyan couldn't say anything.

"Please forgive your sins."

After listening to Zhu Cilang's words, Zhang Shenyan did not say it directly, but instead knelt in front of Zhu Cilang. He didn't know what the old man had made. Zhu Cilang also knew the old man very well. Except for being a little more old-fashioned, there was nothing wrong with other aspects.

"What does Lord Zhang mean to say this? Can't I say it directly? It makes me like a fool."

Zhu Ciyang quickly helped the old man up. Now this old man is not an ordinary old man. This old man is the popular education in all parts of the country. Zhu Ciyang is also very satisfied. If he let go, where would he find such a responsible person?

In terms of education, Zhu Cixuan has invested a lot of manpower and material resources. The person who is more happy is that Zhang Shenyan is very concerned and will not be corrupt. So judging from the current situation, no one is more suitable for the position in front of him than Zhang Shenyan.

"Your Highness, I want to say something more and hold a celebration, but I don't object. This is normal. After all, I fought from Nanjing to the capital in the Ming Dynasty, and subdued the Goryeo Kingdom and regained a large area of ​​territory. We can be happy for a while, but is this matter too much now?"

Zhu Cilang finally figured out what Zhang Shenyan meant. No wonder this old man was very troubled these two days. When Zhu Cilang was just reborn, Zhang Shenyan was also a half-form official, but now he is becoming more and more pragmatic.

Although Zhang Shenyan is the Minister of Rites, some things cannot be his one-man rule. Many people below have their own rights.

At the beginning, he thought it was very good and could inspire the morale of the military and people in the Ming Dynasty. However, since he held it, he increasingly felt that this celebration was too expensive, and some places had caused serious waste.

Zhang Shenyan said a few words outside, but unfortunately, no one listened to him. Some people even took advantage of the opportunity to hold a celebration and extended their sinful hands, so these people were even more unable to stop the celebration.

Zhang Shenyan offended many people outside. In this case, if it were ordinary people, he would probably not open his mouth to speak.

After all, this celebration was approved by His Highness the Crown Prince. If you object, you will oppose His Highness the Crown Prince first. But Zhang Shenyan has his old-fashioned side. Even if he disobeys His Highness the Crown Prince, he has to say his words.

So no one called this old guy. He picked up the time and came to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. He was a life, and he could never watch the Ming Dynasty was wasting supplies.

"Mr. Zhang is the Minister of Rites. If you see some wasteful places, why don't you personally stop the officials below?"

"If you go back to the Crown Prince, it is not that the minister will not stop him. If it were only for our Ministry of Rites, the minister will naturally have no choice but to do so. However, now this celebration has involved various yamen, and the minister is really capable of limited."

Zhang Shenyan also had trouble saying that at the beginning, it was indeed his subordinates who were doing things, and he could still restrain them.

But later this matter was magnified unlimitedly, and countless people participated. All major yamen wanted to show their faces in this matter, so many things were repeated.

Zhang Shenyan was ordered to supervise the national education, which was a money-consuming matter in itself, so over the past year, Zhang Shenyan wanted to break a piece of copper in half just to allow more children to enter the school.

According to what His Royal Highness said, education is the biggest thing in the country at this moment, but now it is spending millions of taels of silver to hold a celebration. Isn’t this a bit over?

After knowing what Zhang Shenyan meant, the kitten was comforting in his heart, at least he knew that Zhang Shenyan could still do serious business.

If he followed the crowd like others, then there might not be any important things to fall on Zhang Shenyan in the future. Of course, this matter was not something Zhu Cilang was testing, but it was just that the incident happened here, and Zhu Cilang was touched.

"Actually, I feel that this matter is a bit too much, but the enthusiasm of the people is unstoppable. Moreover, the Ming Dynasty also needs a grand celebration to let all the surrounding countries see clearly that the Ming Dynasty is different from before."

After hearing the words of His Highness the Crown Prince, Zhang Shenyan's eyes dimmed. Sure enough, this prince was the same as the emperor in the past. As long as he made achievements, he would want to write a lot of books.

Every emperor cannot escape the title of the emperor for all ages and wants it to be on his own.

"But I will teach you an errand. From now on, I will hand over all the things to you. I wonder if I can save anything else? If someone else wants to say something, let him come to me directly."

Zhu Cilang's painting style changed, and he also wanted to prepare to save silver for the court...
