For Zhu Yunhuan, the important day is getting closer and closer, and he feels both nervous and happy.

He called Yu Xin and Yan Zhenzhi to Wenhua Hall and carefully looked at the accounts and prepared materials, etc. He felt more at ease. Even if some things happened, it would not affect the orderly progress of major events.

Zhu Yunxun looked at Yu Xin and said with a smile, "How are you preparing for the Da Baoen Temple now?"

The Da Baoen Temple is a big deal. Even though Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Yunhuan had some restrictions on religion, they still had some of the necessary things.

Building a Buddhist temple is nothing. After all, there are relatively limited temples in the world today.

The famous Lingyin Temple is still in a difficult stage. Due to insufficient funds, the reconstruction of the Buddha statues in the temple is still very difficult.

The same was true in Yingtian Prefecture. There were temples, but they were all developed in accordance with some restrictions of the imperial court.

Yu Xin immediately replied, "Your Highness, if the Great Baoen Temple is to be rebuilt, the court can provide some silver and materials, and the believers can provide some gold and silver, that would be enough."

Zhu Yunhuan was quite concerned about this second temple in Chinese history and the first Buddhist temple in the south. He did not want to find the only Buddha's skull bone in the world from the underground palace of Changgan Temple, the predecessor of Da Baoen Temple.

As for asking some believers to contribute funds, etc., this is not a big problem. It is not to condone some temples to make money, etc., but this kind of thing has a certain history.

In history, the construction of many temples was not entirely funded by the imperial court. Some of them required believers to contribute some money. This was a big deal for many believers, and they were very happy to do it.

Offering incense money in front of the eternal lamp is just a small thing. The most important thing for believers is to have the names of believers engraved on the wall tiles of some important buildings.

Zhu Yunhuan thought about it and felt that there was some truth in it. He said, "In this way, we don't have to worry about the court paying too much. We can arrange these things as we like. But we must be careful and don't let it become a means for the temple to make money."

Yu Xin and others naturally knew this. Not to mention other dynasties, even in the Yuan Dynasty, many temples occupied countless pieces of land. For example, Lingyin Temple once occupied more than 10,000 acres!
Yan Zhenzhi also said at this time, "If we are building the Great Baoen Temple now, we may be short of craftsmen. The court is currently short of craftsmen."

For a moment, Zhu Yunhuan didn't know how to respond to this. After all, there were many large projects that needed to be done, so it was normal for some gaps in the craftsmen's supply.

Zhu Yunhuan spoke after a while, "The Great Baoen Temple should be repaired, but there is no need to rush. It doesn't matter if it really takes several years."

Yan Zhenzhi and Yu Xin breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, in their opinion, the reason why Zhu Yunhuan asked to build the Da Baoen Temple was very simple, and it actually had a lot to do with filial piety.

In the final analysis, it is to commemorate the late Crown Prince Zhu Biao and the late Crown Princess Chang, which is also a common human sentiment. After Zhu Yunhuan ascended the throne, he not only upgraded the Eastern Tomb to an imperial mausoleum, but also did other things.

Since Zhu Yunhuan said that there is no need to be too anxious about these things, then naturally there is nothing to worry about.

Originally, what everyone was most worried about was time and construction period. If you really want to rush, it seems understandable, it just requires a little more trouble to recruit craftsmen.

Zhu Yunhuan also continued, "The affairs of the country are the top priority. You should also know how to arrange these things."

Yu Xin and Yan Zhenzhi naturally hurried to express their attitudes, but they were indeed a little embarrassed at times. It was really not that easy to get things done.

Take the matter of the Da Baoen Temple for example. They naturally knew that although this matter was important, it was far less important than the construction of the Imperial Mausoleum, and in terms of treason, it was even less important than dredging the canal.

After all, dredging the canal and so on are really matters of national importance, while the construction of the Da Baoen Temple and the imperial mausoleum seem to be incomparable at all.

But it would be unacceptable for anyone to say these words, as this is a matter of filial piety. In the eyes of some people, the importance of the imperial mausoleum and the Da Baoen Temple even exceeds that of dredging the canal.

Now that Zhu Yunhuan has made the final decision, everyone will naturally know how to arrange things, and there is no need to worry about disagreements with the Crown Prince.

As soon as Yu Xin and Yan Zhenzhi left, Bao Zhao asked for a meeting. The Minister of Justice was under a lot of pressure. The status of the Three Judicial Departments was still very special, especially in this special period.

As soon as Bao Zhao saw Zhu Yunhuan, he immediately reported, "Your Highness, we have found evidence that some students of the Imperial Academy have disregarded the grace of the court and committed illegal acts."

Zhang Fusheng immediately stepped forward and took the report from Bao Zhao's hand. Naturally, he was going to send it to Zhu Yunhuan for his review.

Bao Zhao began to get nervous. He was now in a situation where he was in a difficult situation, and both he and the Minister of Rites Chen Di had the word "danger" hanging over their heads.

Zhu Yunhuan looked at them carefully. These were the first batch of students from the Imperial College who were investigated. It was basically these people who led to the Hongcang case, but they were basically just minor characters.

"Let the Ningguo Prince Consort try this case. If there is no injustice, these people will be stripped of their official titles and never employed again." Zhu Yunhuan said expressionlessly, "If these people enter the government, they will definitely cause even greater harm!"

Is it a pity? Of course there is some regret. Those who can enter the Imperial College, in addition to family background, must have outstanding knowledge.

But now, because of these petty profits, these people's ten years of hard work have been wasted. It is impossible for these people to enter the official career, and there is almost no upward trend.

If they are in a better situation, they may be able to become a teacher or a staff member, but they have to pay taxes and perform labor service when they are required to do so. All privileges have nothing to do with these people, and it is impossible to change their destiny.

Bao Zhao had no intention of pleading for these people. Not only was he in danger himself, but these people had violated the law and order. They had brought this upon themselves.

Zhu Yunhuan then continued, "Reexamine. If there are other crimes, everything will be handled according to the imperial court's orders."

Bao Zhao still had no objection to this. Stripping of honors and titles was not the complete punishment. It was just to remove the identities of these people first. What would naturally follow was punishment according to the court's laws.

At that time, those who need to have their homes confiscated will have their homes confiscated, those who need to be exiled will be exiled, or the stolen money will be confiscated and they will be sent back to their hometowns, etc. These are some of the follow-up things.

Bao Zhao then spoke again, saying to Zhu Yunhuan, "Your Highness, there are eleven officials who have been found to have violated the law."

Zhu Yunhuan waved his hand and said, "You don't need to tell me now, are these all the people?" Bao Zhao naturally did not dare to hide it, and immediately replied, "Your Highness, I think if there are only these eleven people, it is obviously impossible to commit such a case."

"Isn't that enough?" Zhu Yunhuan said unhappily, "I'm afraid they have arrested some low-ranking officials or even petty clerks. You tell me now, do you want to close the case?"

Bao Zhaolian said he didn't dare. If he really just threw out eleven low-ranking officials, it would really become a joke. Using only these eleven people was obviously not enough to get the job done.

Zhu Yunxun said in a very serious tone, "Keep investigating this case and find out if there are any high-ranking officials involved. I want to see the clear facts of the case, not your one-off claim of credit after a day or two!"

Bao Zhao was sweating profusely. He came to report these things now only because he felt that the Crown Prince attached great importance to this case, and any progress naturally needed to be reported in a timely manner.

But he was obviously overthinking it, because although Zhu Yunhuan cared about the progress of the case, he cared more about whether the case had been thoroughly investigated and whether all the corrupt officials had been dug out.

Therefore, we must continue investigating the case when it is time to do so. Bao Zhao’s current achievements are really not enough to justify our efforts.

Bao Zhao also knew what he should do. It would be better to speed up and investigate the case more thoroughly, so that the Crown Prince would be satisfied.

Time is really running out. Everyone knows that this case must be closed before the Crown Prince ascends the throne. This means that Bao Zhao and others really need to speed up their investigation.

The longer they delayed, the more passive they would be. If the Jinyiwei and the Northern Pacification Division found some evidence, the Sanfasi, who were already in a bad situation, would be charged with incompetence.

It would be a lie to say that there is no sense of urgency. Now the people in the three judicial departments are almost working around the clock, and many of them are working hard with the mentality of "making up for their crimes".

This really requires hard work. If you want to get out of this case that may be magnified, you have to prove your integrity and ability.

Seeing Bao Zhao leaving in a hurry, Zhu Yunhuan couldn't help laughing. It really was a bit like an unintentional achievement.

Now the work efficiency of some officials is improving rapidly. Everyone is working as if one person is doing two things. They are busy investigating cases and preparing for ceremonies at the same time, and everything is in order.

If you think about it this way, it is really a very interesting thing. However, Zhu Yunhuan likes this situation very much, or he is also an unscrupulous capitalist who is very keen on exploiting his people.

As long as things are done more efficiently, it is obviously not a bad thing. These are some of Zhu Yunhuan’s current views and attitudes.

"Let my two sisters come to the palace tomorrow." Zhu Yunhuan said to Zhang Fusheng, "The county horses will also come with us. They also need to help at this time."

Zhang Fusheng naturally hurried to write down these things. There was no need to wait until tomorrow. In fact, someone would come to convey the imperial edict in a while. Entering the palace was sometimes quite cumbersome and involved many procedures.

After returning to the East Palace after a busy day, Zhu Yunxun asked, "Have the people from the Shangyi Bureau come yet?"

Xu Miaojin immediately replied, "I came here this morning, but I still think it's a little early to sew the crown and robes now."

Zhu Yunxun laughed, "It's not too early. I think it's okay. Remember to go to the Qianqing Palace and Kunning Palace to take a look. If something needs to be moved there, move it there, and if something needs to be replaced, replace it with a new one."

Old Zhu had almost emptied Kunning Palace, but he also left a lot of things behind. Some of the things Xu Miaojin could continue to use, and some of them naturally needed to be replaced with a new batch of supplies.

The situation in the Qianqing Palace was the same. Zhu left behind many things, but also moved many things away. Zhu Yunhuan was also busy making the dragon bed, otherwise he would have no place to sleep.

Xu Miaojin also knew about this, so she said, "I remember this matter. I also summoned the eunuch in charge of the seal and looked at the prepared utensils."

There are indeed quite a few things that need to be prepared. Fortunately, there are many relevant departments in the palace, and there are even sufficient reserves of many things, so there is naturally no need to be in a hurry.

It's nothing more than that some of the current utensils need to be based on the preferences of Zhu Yunhuan and Xu Miaojin. Some things that Zhu Yunhuan and Empress Ma like may not be liked by Zhu Yunhuan and others.

Xu Miaojin immediately said, "Your Highness, when the time comes, my sisters should also be promoted."

Zhu Yunhuan was also aware of this. He still had concubines. If he really became emperor, he might not necessarily promote all of them to concubines, but making them imperial concubines or beauties should be no problem.

Zhu Yunhuan thought for a moment and said, "How about this, those who have children will be promoted to consorts, and the others will be concubines, Zhaoyi, or Jieyu. However, Shufei and Ningfei cannot be used now, especially Ningfei."

The rank of a concubine is already very high. Generally speaking, according to the rules of the Ming Dynasty, there are Concubine Xian, Concubine Shu, Concubine Zhuang, Concubine Jing, Concubine Hui, Concubine Shun, Concubine Kang, and Concubine Ning. These are the concubines second only to the empress.

Xu Miaojin naturally knew what was going on. "Ning Fei has been taking care of Wen Yao, so she shouldn't use the title lightly. Shu Fei was in charge of the harem earlier, but it wasn't easy to use either."

Virtuous Concubine, this is almost a synonym for a concubine. If you can do without her, then don't use her. This is also the head of the concubines. Zhu Yunhuan doesn't think that there is such a "highly respected" person among his concubines.

Since Xu Miaojin was aware of all these things, Zhu Yunhuan was naturally relieved. He really didn't need to worry too much about the affairs of the harem, as he had a virtuous wife who could help him arrange it.

Xu Miaojin continued to ask, "Your Highness, are some of the eunuchs in charge of seals going to be replaced?"

Many people understand that a new emperor appoints new ministers. Nowadays, the chief eunuchs of the so-called Neiguanjian and Silijian are all eunuchs holding seals.

The twelve internal official offices all have eunuchs in charge of seals, and all of them are of the rank of fourth rank. However, the famous Silijian is now just an ordinary government office, and the most prestigious one is the Neiguanjian.

After all, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't trust the eunuchs very much, so various forms of suppression were inevitable.

Zhu Yunhuan thought for a moment and said, "No need. We are comfortable with this group of people now. If you think there are suitable people, you can replace them. But the Internal Affairs Bureau and the Ministry of Ceremonies cannot be replaced. The Internal Affairs Bureau is still my grandfather's people. Let Zhang Fusheng go to the Ministry of Ceremonies."

A new emperor appoints new ministers, which is not necessarily absolute. Zhu Yunhuan also used Zhu's team easily. (End of this chapter)
