My Daming New Empire

When a large group of people travels, how many trips will be taken on this day, where to stay, and where to eat, are all arranged in advance, and they will never miss the itinerary.

After sending Yang Zhangde away, Zhu Zhanji watched Yang Zhangde's burly figure disappear from sight, and then ordered: "Go and draw out the material raising progress submitted by the Ministry of Households today. I will look at it in the afternoon."

Sun Lin bowed and said, "Yes!"

Just as he was about to turn around, he heard Zhu Zhanji ask again: "What do you think of Yang Zhangde, can he play the role of the honorable shit stirrer?"

Sun Lin paused for a moment, pondered for a while, and then said: "I don't know much about this person, but from the analysis of the data, this person is cruel and cruel. Since His Highness can take a fancy to him, he can naturally help His Highness take care of him." The honorable camp will be reorganized."

Zhu Zhanji shook his head and said with a smile: "You are not Li Liang, and you can't be Li Liang, so don't learn his flattering skills. Work hard and work hard, and your future prospects will not be lower than his. "

Giving Yang Zhangde an honorable marriage that has lost power is not only to support Yang Zhangde, but also Zhu Zhanji wants to use Yang Zhangde to disperse the currently solidified honorary class.

Since Zhu Yuanzhang established the country, he can't say that his methods against Xungui were wrong, only that the methods were too drastic and his appearance was too ugly.

In order to flaunt his benevolence, Zhu Di was extra tolerant towards nobles, which led to the rapid expansion of the noble class in Ming Dynasty today.

Although this class is not much of a burden to Daming today, like the princes of the Zhu family, these people later became one of the important reasons for the decline of Ming.

This is not the cause of any one person, but the problem of the entire system.The first and most important reason is that the inheritance of most titles is hereditary.

If one person is the public, the children and grandchildren will be the public, and enjoy the glory and wealth on the merits of their ancestors.

In the mid-Ming Dynasty, the number of people entrusted to the imperial clan continued to increase, and Lumi became a heavy burden for the Ming government.

The vassal kings also competed to occupy land illegally, ranging from a few thousand hectares to tens of thousands of hectares, which reduced the tax revenue of the Ming government and intensified social conflicts.

After Wanli, in order to resolve these contradictions, the imperial court was forced to lift the prohibition on the clan's official career.Generals below Zhen Guo were allowed to take the imperial examinations in order to support the clan's self-support and no longer parasitize food and wealth, but these people have been completely corrupted and have little effect.

Therefore, Zhu Zhanji expects to change this development trend from the very beginning. Mr. Tighten the ropes on the nobles so that they will not be corrupted quickly. When he ascends to the great treasure and reforms the honorary system, it will become an important policy policy one.

Yang Zhangde is capable, but he comes from a humble background and doesn't understand the noble world at all.People from two different worlds, if you want him to play a role, you must let him integrate into this world.

Let him become a noble, so that he can know all kinds of inside information in the noble class, and this knife will be sharper when used.

Back at Xingqing Palace, Zhu Zhanji took a shower in the bathroom, and then went to Jinshen Hall refreshed, and had lunch with Zhu Di.

Today, Zhu Di held another sutra feast in Jinshen Hall.The Sutra Feast is a lecture seat specially set up by the emperor to talk about the history of classics.It has existed since the Han and Tang Dynasties, and developed to the extreme in the Song Dynasty.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di inherited the tradition of Jingyan in the Song Dynasty, they didn't pay much attention to it.There is no fixed day and no fixed place at the beginning of the feast.

Basically, it is held one to three times a month, and most of the time it is hosted by Crown Prince Zhu Gaochi.

Zhu Zhanji now has a real job, and the number of participations is small.But a few little guys, such as Zhu Zhanyong, were called by him every time.

For a king who has not established a complete outlook on life, world outlook, and values, Jingyan does have a certain brainwashing and promoting effect.

But for Zhu Zhanji, an old fritter, his thinking has been finalized, and this kind of sutra feast, in his opinion, is boring indoctrination.

The birth of Jingyan was intended to make the emperor's lectures uninterrupted, so as to have the effect of persevering.

This is a special imperial education system. The ultimate goal of Jingyan is to change and straighten the emperor's heart, which is a kind of moral education.

At the same time, this is also a political system, which is the same as the admonition official system, prime minister system, refutation system, and historian system in the past dynasties. It is a restriction on imperial power.

Therefore, Zhu Gaochi attached great importance to Jingyan, which made him highly respected by civil servants.

And Zhu Zhanji didn't like Confucianism since he was a child, and he preferred martial arts, which was also the point that civil servants were most dissatisfied with him.

Besides, no one can find anything wrong with Zhu Zhanji anymore.

When we came to Jinshen Hall, today's sutra banquet had come to an end. Zhu Zhanji saw that Xie Jin, who was originally the chief assistant, ignored his face at this time and sat near the door to listen.

Seeing Zhu Zhanji enter the palace, he smiled and nodded to Zhu Zhanji calmly, looked away, and looked at Yang Shiqi who was talking loudly.

When everyone saw Zhu Zhanji coming in, they nodded slightly to show respect.

And when the little guys saw their big brother, their faces became happy.They knew very well that Zhu Zhanji's arrival heralded their liberation.

Zhu Di, who was sitting on the high platform, saw Zhu Zhanji coming in and raised his hand to stop, Yang Shiqi stopped his speech and nodded to Zhu Zhanji.

Zhu Di smiled and said, "Let's end here with the history of eunuchs in the Tang Palace today. In the Tang Dynasty, the eunuchs were indeed the main cause of the decline of the Tang Dynasty. We should use history as a mirror to understand the truth. That's all for today. Preside over the banquet and entertain all your lovers."

When everyone heard Zhu Di say this, they all got up and said goodbye: "I will take my leave!"

After saluting, Zhu Zhanyong's little guys became active and came forward to say hello to the big brother Zhu Zhanji.

But I heard Zhu Gaochi say: "Today is a long talk, you guys will write me a piece of experience after you go back, and give it to me tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, the faces of the little fellows immediately collapsed, but they could only salute to Zhu Gaochi obediently.

Only then did Zhu Gaochi lightly pat Zhu Zhanji on the shoulder and said: "The expedition is imminent, and you are busy with common affairs. I don't want you to participate in the sutra banquet every time, but you must read every transcription."

Zhu Zhanji also saluted and said, "My child obeys."

Only then did he nod his head, and with the support of his two servants, he led the group of officials to the Hall of Martial Arts.

Everyone left, and only Zhu Di, Zhu Zhanji's grandfather and grandson, and some servants were left in the hall. Then Zhu Di said: "I received a report from the Ministry of Punishment today. Except for two people who died of illness on the way, the remaining 310 three All the people have been sent to Yingtian Mansion, have you thought about how to deal with them?"

Zhu Zhanji pondered for a while and said: "Qiu Changqing framed the relationship between me and the king for his own selfishness. This heart is punishable. But after all, the Qiu family was once a dignitary of the country and made contributions to the Ming Dynasty. According to my grandson, when Move the Qiu family to Nuer Gandusi as a punishment."

Zhu Di nodded and said: "Only based on your opinion, I know that you have considered it carefully. Although Qiu Changqing is hateful, Qiu Fu was once my humerus after all. If his evil will implicate others, I will not bear it." .”

Zhu Zhanji said: "The grandson doesn't care about being splashed with sewage, but only cares about the father's serious illness that day, whether it was an old disease or someone intentionally poisoned it. It's a pity that there were many people attending the banquet that day, and all kinds of ingredients were bought in the palace. No clue."

Zhu Di said sharply: "That's why Qiu Changqing is not dead, so it's hard for me to feel free. If everyone dares to attack my children and grandchildren of the Zhu family, how can there be dignity in this world!"

And in an ordinary house in Changqing Square in Jinchuan Gate of Yingtian Mansion, Qiu Changqing, who had been hiding like a mouse for a month, thoroughly felt the difficulty of fighting against the imperial power.

For a month, he didn't even dare to show his face, because as long as he appeared, as a stranger, he would be noticed by the neighbors.

Daming's Baojia system left him with no soil for survival at all.Not only did he not dare to show his face anymore, but he was completely reduced to a pawn in the hands of the King of Han.

He originally thought that he could break away from the sphere of influence of the King of Han, and move between the forces of the King of Han and the Prince, to create a future for himself and the Qiu family.

But now I realized that I was still too naive.

Although the world is big, it is not the land of the king. He was tied hand and foot in the struggle against the imperial power.

Now, he is just a turtle in an urn, and he is no longer as vigorous as he was at the beginning.

And in another corner of Yingtian Mansion, Feng Xiaonian and Jiang Wanli, including Chu Song, were still chasing Qiu Changqing when everyone else had given up.

Yang Zhangde's promotion to conductor made the greatest impact on them.In terms of seniority, Yang Zhangde was only superior to the youngest Jiang Wanli, but because he won the favor of His Highness and made great contributions, he immediately became their superior.

This change of identity touched them the most.

Especially Chu Song, although he has made some contributions to Yang Zhangde's marriage, but the contribution is still not worth it.
