NABC Chapter 587
Chapter 587
Chapter 587
It was noisy for many days.
There seems to be a growing trend.
But at this time, the East Palace was surprisingly quiet.
Looking at the chaos in front of him, Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but sigh.
This snowflake-like memorial to criticize each other made him feel unavoidable.
When he was young, he was taught by many good teachers, and he always thought that what scholars pursued was the principles of saints, but in the end, a mansion turned all the talents in the world into such a situation!
Searching one by one, citing scriptures and classics, just to find reasons for sharing more real estate.
It's really ridiculous.
But in detail, is it really funny?
Zhu Gaochi is no longer the former Zhu Gaochi, especially after he went to Henan Chief Envoy and Guanzhong this time, he began to think about problems from another new perspective.
So I waited for a few days, and it didn't look like it.
The prince finally issued an imperial edict to calm the controversy.
The size of the mansion is still divided according to the high grade, but the first grade is two mu, and the seventh grade is one mu and two points, which directly pulls the gap between them to the minimum.
Once this edict is issued, although it may not be able to convince everyone, it is generally acceptable.
Among them, Zhang Anshi came to the East Palace almost every day.
Since childhood, Zhang Anshi grew up in this East Palace, and he is very clear about every plant and tree here, but after more than 20 years, it still has a special flavor after all.
Zhu Gaochi dealt with the memorials in his hand, and sometimes discussed with Zhang Anshi.
However, one of the memorials made Zhu Gaochi frown slightly.
Zhu Gaochi is not only Zhu Zhanji's son, but his second son, Zhu Zhanyu, was born to his side concubine, and his third son, Zhu Zhanyong, was also born to the crown princess Zhang.
These two sons have also grown up, and there are quite a few other underage sons.
As for Zhu Zhanxi, Zhang Anshi seldom had any dealings with him.
However, Zhu Zhanyong, the third son born to my sister, is also a restless master. On weekdays, he even dares to tease his uncle Zhang Anshi, but he is not the eldest son after all, so he is also left alone on weekdays. Zhang Anshi is too lazy to discipline.
Now many ministers have come forward one after another, hoping that the prince can make plans early and choose fiefdoms for his second son Zhu Zhanxi and third son Zhu Zhanyong early.
Obviously, these memorials are by no means groundless. The courtiers of the Ming Dynasty are all human beings, and each of them is very fine.
Now, the crown prince is completely in charge of the country, and has begun to divide houses to invite people's hearts. Doesn't this show that the new emperor is about to ascend the throne?
According to the rules of the Ming Dynasty, once the new emperor ascends the throne, except for the future prince, the other princes should be sent to the vassal as soon as possible, lest they stay in the capital and have long nights and dreams.
At the beginning, Zhu Di left the King of Han in the capital, causing a lot of incidents. With this lesson learned from the past, it is even more necessary to send him away quickly, out of sight and out of mind.
Moreover, don't look at this as just an ordinary melodrama, but in fact, it has to bear certain risks, because the old emperor is still there, so naturally Zhu Zhanxi and Zhu Zhanyong have not been crowned kings, so let the world Sun went to the feudal land, what does this mean?
However, the greater the wind and waves, the more expensive the fish. This is a well-known truth.
Such a memorial, to a certain extent, is actually moving closer to the future prince Zhu Zhanji. If Zhu Zhanji learns about this, he will inevitably favor the people who gave the memorial, and feel that these people are very sensible.
Naturally, these memorials obviously contain elements of opportunism.
In Zhu Gaochi's view, it is natural that this matter is not urgent now.
It's just... don't be in a hurry, whether it is Zhu Zhanyu or Zhu Zhanyong, they are still his sons, and it is inevitable that they will be entrusted to fiefdoms in the future. As a father, we should plan ahead and choose some good feudal lands for our sons. , such selfishness, why not?
So after Zhang Anshi came today, Zhu Gaochi handed the memorial to Zhang Anshi.
After he finished reading, Zhu Gaochi said, "An Shi."
"Eh……"
"What do you think of this memorial?"
Zhang Anshi raised his head and said: "Your Majesty is still here, this memorial is a bit taboo, in my opinion, it's better to stay and not publish it."
Zhu Gaochi smiled and said: "This is not what I'm talking about, what I'm talking about is...the future..."
Zhang Anshi understood Zhu Gaochi's meaning, so he said: "Now the Western feudal vassals have almost been divided up by the kings. Whether it is Java or Annan, or Zhenla, Luzon... if it is farther away, even Tianzhu Some people have started to get their hands on it, and if we continue to divide the enfeoffment now, I am afraid that we will go to a farther place."
Zhu Gaochi listened, thoughtful, he pondered for a long time and said, "Is there no other good place to go?"
If it is farther away, it may be thousands of miles away. Thinking of this, Zhu Gaochi can't help but feel distressed.
Zhang Anshi smiled and said: "Actually, it's not that there are no good places. This place is far away in the sky, but close in front of us."
Zhu Gaochi was taken aback for a moment, and only looked at Zhang Anshi fixedly.
Zhang Anshi said: "North Korea and Japan..."
After Zhu Gaochi heard this, he frowned and said, "This is the unconquered country of Emperor Taizu Gao..."
Zhang Anshi said: "I didn't talk about conquest, but just took some land and taught them to divide the feudal vassals. The place is very big and can accommodate many princes."
Zhu Gaochi said with doubts: "I'm afraid that the other side will not agree. If the imperial court raises troops because of this, it will be a bit inappropriate."
Zhang Anshi thought for a while and said: "Will you be willing, and not necessarily. It's better to leave it on me, I will handle this matter, anyway, it's still early, and there is no rush. The King of Joseon and the King of Japan have always been docile. , I think they will agree."
Zhu Gaochi pondered, and although he hesitated, he still nodded.
Apparently, no matter whether it is North Korea or Japan, they are still very close to Daming. If another railway is built on North Korea's side in the future, it will be even closer.As for the Wa country, it can be said that it is across the sea from Daming, and it is not too far away.
What's more, the folk customs of these two places mostly use Chinese characters, and the customs are similar to those of Ming Dynasty. This is the same as Annan, and it is indeed a good place to go.
If he can take out a few pieces of land and build a feudal clan for his sons, obviously, in the days to come, the Zhu Zhanxi brothers must be taught to be more relaxed than their uncles and uncles.
It's just...Zhu Gaochi is still worried that the other party will not agree, and if he refuses, he will not be strong.
But Zhang Anshi said that there is a way, Zhu Gaochi has always known Zhang Anshi's ability, since he can tell, let him try it first.
After a pause, Zhu Gaochi changed the subject and talked about another matter, saying: "You have to pay close attention to the matter of Habayashi Guard, don't think that His Majesty is now letting go of the government and paying attention to this place."
Zhang Anshi smiled and said: "Your Majesty's visit is probably the last test for my brother-in-law. In the coming year, my brother-in-law should show your majesty my brother-in-law's skills. It is definitely not under Emperor Taizu Gao and His Majesty... ..."
"Nonsense." Zhu Gaochi glared at Zhang Anshi, and reprimanded: "How can this palace be compared with Taizu and Father Huang!"
Zhang Anshi said: "As a descendant, he dare not compare with him. This is filial piety. But from the perspective of Emperor Taizu Gao and His Majesty, especially now that His Majesty is old, for him, what he hopes most is What I see is that my own children and grandchildren are stronger than him."
Zhang Anshi also lost a bit of taboo in front of his brother-in-law, saying: "So at this time, it shouldn't be a time to hide it, brother-in-law, it's time to take a strong medicine."
Zhu Gaochi took a deep look at Zhang Anshi, and then said: "Your copy of the charter, I will take it for a look."
Zhang Anshi smiled and said, "I will deliver it tomorrow."
Zhu Gaochi immediately said: "Hey, I really didn't expect that in a blink of an eye, my father is old, my palace is not young, and you... are so old."
Zhang Anshi said: "Brother-in-law is very good, why do you have such emotion?"
Zhu Gaochi said: "It's just a matter of touching the scene, An Shi, how naughty you were when you were young, but now you have become my right-hand man."
Zhang Anshi smiled.
But Zhu Gaochi immediately began to worry again.
Because, as Zhang Anshi said, in Zhang Anshi's new regulations, there is strong medicine.
In addition to continuing to increase the construction of railways, in addition to that, the laying of telegraphs also started directly.Immediately afterwards, a large number of local officials will be rotated.Either send it to the feudal town, or recall it to the capital, and replace it with a large number of local railway officials.
All localities need to build training courses for civil servants. Once the recruited civil servants become the backbone, they will immediately learn in the training courses and be promoted to more important positions.
Those who graduated from the university or retired from the model camp were transferred to various prefectures and counties across the country to serve as civil and military officials.
In places where the New Deal has not yet been implemented, the gentry's land is required not to exceed one hundred mu per household. If it exceeds, they will be sold at a low price. Next, land clearing will be set off across the country.
Waterways all over the world need to be dredged, and all the farmers who have taken the land also need to organize and repair the water conservancy.
Set up agricultural institutes, medical colleges, veterinary clinics, water conservancy, land, and education institutes in each county.
Establish a unified taxation agency and go deep into counties and townships.
The military households were completely abolished, the Dan people were no longer recognized, a judicial university was established, and specialized judges began to be trained.
Compile the new code, in addition to the law, add civil law and commercial law.
Fight water bandits and bandits.
The measures of this item were implemented immediately after they were promulgated, and they were no longer as before, still holding the pipa and half covering their faces.
Looking at the [-]-word charter, Zhu Gaochi obviously treated it cautiously.He pondered for a long time, and there are many details in it. He has read it countless times and thought about it for a long time.
But now, when he lifts the ink brush, he still feels extra heavy.
It is said that strong medicine is needed to cure troubled times.
But now that the world is peaceful, it is not necessary to implement it thoroughly. Even in this state, it is enough to rule the world.
But directly administering such a strong drug, to a certain extent, actually still has many risks.
This almost directly broke the inertia of many millennia, and completely cut off the livelihood of many groups that relied on the inertia of the past.
But after thinking for a while, Zhu Gaochi finally drew a circle on the charter.
Immediately handed it over to the eunuch who was accompanying him, and ordered: "Send it to the Supervisor of Rituals."
After the edict was issued, it began to be distributed to all parts of the world through the Post Office, and the residence newspaper also began to be published day after day.
The imperial edict was read out in all ministries.
In response to this edict, there are many decrees, which are distributed to various ministries.
As for the criticism and rumors, Zhu Gaochi ignored them, and he didn't even bother to ask Jin Yiwei to inquire.
Only ordered the factory guards to send Tiqi to prevent accidents.
Such a change, obviously, has an unprecedented effect.
At least in the capital city, it was as if a meteorite had suddenly dropped in a pond, causing thousands of waves to stir up in an instant.
Inside the capital, there were people howling.
But Zhu Gaochi ignored it.
He didn't even go to see Hanlin and Yushi at all. He only summoned a few great scholars and ministers from various ministries to discuss matters. After finalizing a matter, he directly taught them to follow it.
If it wasn't a necessary memorial, he wouldn't bother to read it.
Instead, issuing a copy of the imperial edict goes out, which means that the universe is arbitrary.
But even so, there were still many things that passed into his ears.
The scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion said that the magistrate of Taiyuan, Shanxi refused to accept the officials assigned by the imperial court, but led the local officials to write a letter in tears, asking the prince to speak out... and forced the county officials in the counties below to wait and not to cooperate with the imperial court. The dispatched officials delivered the county affairs.
When Xie Jin played the report, he looked up at Zhu Gaochi.
Zhu Gaochi walked a few steps with his hands behind his back. Now he looked more and more like Zhu Di, especially when he was thinking, he paced casually, with a slight frown between his brows and a serious expression on his face.
Zhu Gaochi finally stood still and said, "The prefect is called Chen Zhong."
"Yes."
"I have a little impression of him."
Hu Guangdao: "This person is considered a good official with a good reputation, but... a little pedantic."
Zhu Gaochi said: "I have also heard of his reputation..."
After a pause, Zhu Gaochi continued: "Order Jin Yiwei to get the driving sticker, lock it up."
He said lightly.
The few grand scholars were startled, and they all looked at each other in blank dismay. They all saw surprise in each other's eyes. Obviously, they didn't expect it to be so serious.
Therefore, Hu Guang reminded: "His Royal Highness, he may just be confused for a while, and just need to issue an edict..."
Zhu Gaochi said indifferently: "I know the situation of Taiyuan Mansion. It has been suffering from disasters for the past few years. This man's official reputation is indeed good. Although the soldiers and civilians are starving, there are not so many people who starved to death, at least compared to the end of the Yuan Dynasty. Ten rooms and nine empties are better, and now it's only [-] starving to death a year, not to the point of bleeding..."
After a pause, he continued: "That's why he has a good reputation. Many soldiers and civilians praise him as Qingtian. I'm afraid it's because of this that he dared to do so."
Hu Guang said without confidence: "Yes, yes, this person is indeed... kind of... kind of..."
Zhu Gaochi said: "Is it Qingtian?"
"This……"
Zhu Gaochi said: "Qingtian still starves to death of thousands of people every year, the people are naked, and people have food. In such a state, the people still praise him, which shows how evil the old system is. How far is it to maintain the old system? People, how insane are they. Things in the world are broken by these so-called "gentlemen". I hope that there will be fewer such blue sky and more good people who govern the world. Now he is resisting the imperial edict and disrespecting it. It is a heinous crime..."
After Zhu Gaochi finished speaking, he sneered coldly, and continued expressionlessly: "Not only this Chen Zhong, but also his family members will be locked up together. None of the other prefectural and county officials who obey him will be kept. Send an imperial edict to punish the crimes. The ones I want to punish today are these Qingtians."
Zhu Gaochi's words were not harsh, but with a chill.
So much so that even Xie Jin and others began to feel that His Royal Highness was becoming more and more incomprehensible.
The prince who was gentle, courteous and modest in the past seems to have disappeared long ago.
"Your Highness." Xie Jin frowned, as if he felt that the punishment was a bit heavy, so he said, "I'm afraid that if this is the case, the soldiers and civilians of Taiyuan Mansion..."
However, Zhu Gaochi did not let him continue, and interrupted: "The soldiers and civilians of Taiyuan Mansion, what they are thinking about today is not what I have to worry about now. What I have to worry about is how to teach this Taiyuan Mansion When will the soldiers and civilians be able to fill their stomachs and buy one or two new clothes a year."
Zhu Gaochi glanced at everyone, and then continued: "You guys, don't always use etiquette to satisfy the soldiers and civilians, you might as well think about how to feed them and teach them to dress warmly. Ignore starvation, don't pay attention to reality, but only pay attention to the reality. Thinking about the so-called fame and morality, I would like to know, what is the use of these things when people are dead?"
When Zhu Gaochi said the latter, there was an obvious sense of sarcasm in his words.
Xie Jin listened, and hurriedly said: "I understand."
Zhu Gaochi put away the coldness on his face, and then said again: "When Chen Zhong was escorted into Beijing, he would be punished for the crime of disrespect immediately, and the rest should not be sentenced lightly. If there is another case like this, we will follow dealt with in this case."
"Yes."
Zhu Gaochi then said again: "Next, anyone who obeys the law and disobeys the law, or ignores the edict, will be severely punished, so that's it."
The academicians present did not know whether they were shocked by Zhu Gaochi's decisiveness today, or they agreed with Zhu Gaochi's decision from the bottom of their hearts. At this time, they were almost silent.
Zhu Gaochi glanced at Zhang Anshi and said, "Zhang Qing seems to have something to say?"
Zhang Anshidao: "Your Highness, what I want to present is not about the Taiyuan Mansion, but about the impeachment of the Supervisory Censor Wang Wenhong..."
Zhu Gaochi frowned subconsciously when he heard the impeachment.
He said: "Impeach what, who to impeach?"
Zhang Anshi said: "Impeach Ying Tianfu..."
Zhu Gaochi said: "What's wrong with Yingtian Mansion?"
Zhang Anshi then said: "About the construction of the city gate, the construction of the city gate is greatly conducive to the expansion of the capital, especially the Habayashi Guard in the west of the city. A large number of craftsmen and laborers need to come in and out every day. As a result... Ying Tianfu turned a blind eye to this , up to now, I haven’t come up with a charter for opening the city gate!”
After a pause, Zhang Anshi went on eloquently: "It's so perfunctory and disregarding the people's livelihood. It's a crime worthy of death. Therefore, this Wang Yushi hopes that the court will order Yingtianfu and make improvements immediately. He has visited several sections near Habayashi Guard. The city wall, and some suggestions about the new city gate... Please take a look at it, Your Highness the Crown Prince."
Zhu Gaochi: "..."
