First Prince of Ming Dynasty

Zhu Biao nodded casually and told them to stand up without ceremony, but he didn't give him a seat. If they were the only ones there, it would be fine.

It's just that since the Minister of the Ministry of Rites has already taken his seat, it's not easy for him to sit down with his subordinate officials. The dignity of a court official still needs to be maintained.

The prince can be approachable because no one will ignore his supreme and noble status because of the prince's goodwill, and the officials don't need it. In theory, they are at the same level, and they are all just courtiers. If they don't make distinctions in some places , How to stimulate them to climb up?

His eyes fell on the thick paper on the case. The first chapter of the ancestral precepts is still Lao Zhu’s admonition, “I have been in charge of the world’s common affairs for many years since I started the army. Those who commit serious crimes of love and who are beyond doubt will be punished extrajudicially, in order to make people aware of their fear and not dare to break the law easily. However, when this privilege is dealt with, it will frustrate the treacherous and stubborn, and it is not a common law used by a successful monarch.

The descendants of future generations are required to stop observing the law and the great edict, and do not use the punishment of tattooing, piercing, scorpion, and castration, so as not to fear that it may be improperly imposed for a while and accidentally hurt goodness.

This is naturally no problem. To be honest, although the laws of the Ming Dynasty have been generally perfected, many things are still decided according to the emperor's whim, rather than relying on the laws enacted.

The leniency of military heroes and the torture of corrupt officials are unavoidable problems in an imperial society. The conflict between the rule of man and the rule of law is almost everywhere.

Zhu Biao has no intention of revising this part, but he is pessimistic about whether this admonition can be truly followed by his children and grandchildren. However, it is also good to abolish punishments such as tattooing and stabbing from the official law. .

Zhu Biao looked up at the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites and said: This palace will write a letter to the emperor to report this matter, and Aiqing can also report to the emperor through the general affairs envoy, but today it is necessary to follow the order of the palace. Do you think so?

The Minister of Rites hurriedly stood up and said, His Royal Highness, the crown prince, supervises the administration of the country, and the ministers should follow the emperor's order.

Zhu Biao nodded in satisfaction and said: The so-called strict self-discipline and lenient treatment of others is true for individuals, and it is also true for families. If the emperor's relatives commit crimes, they will be forgiven, and if the common people and subjects commit crimes, they will be strict. How can we obey the world?

Changed to the fact that the emperor's relatives and relatives have committed the crime of treason and shall be punished with capital punishment. For the rest of the crimes, if they do not result in human life, they shall be ordered to be disciplined and punished by the clan government. , not to bend the law for personal gain.

The officials below agreed in unison, and an official of the Hanlin Academy asked for instructions: His Royal Highness, there are too many families for the royal relatives and relatives in the original plan, can we reduce it?

Zhu Biao turned to the back and thought for a moment: The concubine's family, the Guo family, the Xu family, the Tang family, and the Mu family are all exempt, only the queen's family, the crown prince's family, the princess's family, and the son-in-law's family are the families of my relatives. .”

Although changes have been made, it is inevitable that the family of the royal relatives will be more tolerant. Zhu Biao naturally wants to limit it. The more privileged classes there are, the more conflicts will inevitably arise.

According to Lao Zhu's thinking, there are too many royal relatives and relatives. This is because the second child has not yet married wives and concubines. There are too many relatives.

After the people below wrote it down, Zhu Biao said again: Is there no king in the world? Under the sun and the moon, the barbarian countries are my ministers and concubines. How can there be any country that will not be conquered?

The officials of the Imperial Academy agreed, but an official from the Ministry of Rites came forward and said: The barbarians from all directions are limited to mountains and seas, and are secluded in a corner; the land is not enough to supply, and the people are not enough to command. The Holy Majesty’s decision not to conquer the country is to fear future generations, rely on the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty, covet the military exploits of the moment, raise troops without reason, and harm the country’s constitution. My minister, please be careful.”

Zhu Biao didn't argue with him, just looked at him quietly. After a few breaths, the official bowed and retreated, as if there were many things in this record that they were dissatisfied with, but it was not compiled like this under the will of Lao Zhu. Now, as far as they are concerned, what is the difference between the emperor and the prince.

In this set of non-conquering countries, although Lao Zhu threw away Goryeo and Dongying because of Zhu Biao, there are still big and small Ryukyu countries, Annan country, Chenla country, Siam country, Champa kingdom, and Sumatra, Java, etc. China, these are important supply trade ports in Zhu Biao's predicted future.

Then read, it is Zhu Yuanzhang's admonition to the successor king, admonishing children and grandchildren not to relax their vigilance when they become emperors. During the day, people can watch people's words and actions, and at night, the patrols are strict, and treacherous people are not allowed to enter. Stay close to the left and right; choose a few good horses, train those who can walk fast, and often feed them at the palace gate...

It seems that the kid Zhu Yunwen in history still listened to his grandfather's teachings, no wonder he was able to escape at a critical moment, making Zhu Di sleepless after he ascended the throne.

A deceased emperor and an emperor who escaped and hid are completely different concepts. You must know that the power of orthodoxy can make a comeback at some point, not to mention that Zhu Di is much older than Zhu Yunwen .

I have to say that Lao Zhu is extremely diligent, for fear that future generations will not have enough brains. This is teaching how to be a Taiping Emperor in all aspects, even sleeping, eating and drinking.

When you are a police officer at night, you often listen to the movement in the city. If you go out of the palace, you can look up at the situation and the stars; if you don't go out, you will be waiting for the sound of the city.

When the emperor lives in the palace, he should get up early and go to bed late, drink less alcohol, eat meals according to the time, and not be too full in the afternoon. In layman's terms, it doesn't matter.

Zhu Biao did not make major changes in the following major regulations such as persistence, strict sacrifices, careful entry and exit, careful state affairs, and etiquette. If the children and grandchildren can really be completely obedient, that would be really good.

In the etiquette part, there are the word order of the East Palace and the descendants of the prince. Zhu Biao still reads Yunwen obeys the ancestor's precepts, Qinwu Dajun wins, Shundaoyifengji, Shiliangshan uses Sheng.

Yang'er Liang'er has not yet been given a name. It seems that the birth of the twins disrupted Zhu Xiongying's original idea of ​​Zhu Xiongying, but it is not necessarily true. After all, they are twins. Maybe it is because this old Zhu made the eldest grandson dance. Appears in the current word order.

Zhu Biao didn't care about this, it didn't matter what he was called, on this point he wanted to be a good son, even if he named the eldest Zhu a son, he would listen to his father, otherwise he would take care of everything, and old Zhu would really beat him up.

Then came the key point again. The officials below all personally participated in the compilation, and now they probably understand the prince’s thoughts. Naturally, they know that it’s time for a big change, but I don’t know if the emperor will be furious after hearing about it.

It is still about the regulations on princes: Where the prince is too serious, send the royal relatives or internal officials to call, and if there is evidence, all the royal relatives and internal officials in Beijing will stay with them for ten days. Son of Heaven, then distribute it.

Even if there is a serious crime, there will be no additional punishment; if it is serious, it will be reduced to a commoner, and if it is light, it will be due to the court to tell its wrongdoing. Or send officials to give them blessings and misfortunes to make them rehabilitate. If a minister commits adultery, does not allow the king to see the emperor, and commits a crime in private, and if someone is unfortunate, at this time, the emperor must be a fool...

Fanfeng Xianguan heard from Wang Xiaoguo that those who separated relatives would be executed. It is rumored that the king has a big reason, but there is no real evidence to prove it. Those who have heard it above are guilty of the same crime.

All common people who dare to criticize the king's fine work in order to show off their treachery and obstinacy will be beheaded.

Zhu Biao came out of the circle and read it again and said: All the above are changed, and the princes of the clan are extremely precious. If anyone dares to frame him if he keeps his duty, the king will make his own decision at that time.

promise.

Afterwards, the internal orders, internal officials, military guards, and battalion repairs and other parts of Zhu Biao have not been changed, but a few inappropriate places have been circled, and then the job system and supply.

The emperor's son is the prince, the eldest son of the crown prince is the grandson of the emperor, the next son and the concubine are all named county kings at the age of ten, and they are awarded gold-plated silver books and silver seals.

The eldest son of the prince inherits the title. For example, when the king is thirty and the concubine has no sons, the concubine will only be the prince of the county;

The prince's second son and concubine's sons are all titled county kings, the grandson of the prince of Fanjun, the son is awarded the general of the town, the grandson is the general of the state, the great-grandson is the general of the state, the great-grandson is the lieutenant of the town, the fifth grandson is the lieutenant of the state, the sixth Below Sun, he was granted the title of Lieutenant of Fengguo.

From this we can see how huge the clan and royal family will be in the future, and at the very least, it is a dignified Lieutenant of Fengguo, with a salary of two hundred shi, it is enough to support servants and enjoy wealth.
