I'm really not the carpenter emperor

At this point, it's straight to the point.

Wen Tiren also knew that if he tried to make more detours, he was afraid it would be counterproductive, so he said directly: "I still say the same thing, Your Majesty is doing the right thing, but don't act too hastily!"

Zhu Youxiao's eyes flickered, and he said:

"You keep talking."

Wen Tiren said: "Honor is a force that cannot be ignored. The whole country, the southern honor and the northern relatives, although they are all headed by the British Duke, are not monolithic."

"Your Majesty's disposal of more than [-] families of Bei Xun's relatives this time can only be said to be a matter of course, but the means are too drastic. If Nan Xun is to be disposed of in the future, I am afraid it will cause turmoil."

"I have a way. I can borrow the matter of Wang Gong's factory once and for all."

Having said that, Wen Tiren stopped.

Zhu Youxiao thought about what he said carefully, thinking that it would be no harm to listen, and said: "Talk to me carefully."

……

"You unworthy thing! Did I send you to the three camps so that you could go in to make friends, play cards and drink?"

"what?"

In Yangwu Hou Mansion, Xue Lian held a wooden stick in his hand, and hit a young man in his twenties on the buttocks in front of him.

"Ouch!" Xue Gang felt the pain, begging for mercy:

"Father, just forgive me, I won't dare to do it again next time!"

"Next time?" Xue Lian was furious when he heard that, and shouted:

"Do you still want to have a next time? You can fight a little bit, if you don't have any military exploits before I die, my lineage of Yang Wuhou will be extinct!"

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Zheng on the side covered her mouth and stepped forward, and asked aptly: "My lord, didn't you say that the emperor forgave us? What's going on?"

"Death crimes can be avoided, but living crimes cannot escape!" Xue Lian threw the stick, sat down and looked at Xue Gang who was helped up by his attendants, hating that iron can't become steel:

"All the 86 nobles who committed the crime this time will be forgiven, but His Majesty has exempted the children of each family from the right to attack the nobility."

"What?" Zheng's face was stunned, "There has never been such a precedent in this dynasty! Master, what should we do?"

"You ask me, I also want to know what to do!" Xue Lian said helplessly: "I think my ancestor was conferred a knighthood by Emperor Chengzu for his Jing Nan military exploits, but in my generation, he will be extinct..."

Mrs. Zheng and Xue Lian are parents, so they naturally know that this scumbag in his family can make a living as a dude, and if he is asked to lead the army to fight, he will not be able to make meritorious service in this life, and he has to risk his life.

Doesn't this just mean that there will be no Yang Wuhou in the next generation?

Let alone him, Song Yude, Hou of Xining, this famous nobleman who used to call the wind and rain in the capital, is also worried now.

But no matter how dissatisfied, no matter how worried he is now, this is his own crime and he was caught.

The emperor didn't cut off his own kid, or expelled the noble, all of which belonged to his magnanimity and magnanimity!

For them, how dare they expect too much!

Xue Gang used to only want to play, and wait for his father to die and become a prince, and then go to work and eat and wait for death, then it will be fine. He never thought that there would be such a big consequence.

Knowing that he caused trouble for his family, he endured the pain in his buttocks and said with the support of his attendants: "Father, don't worry, I will make military exploits to win glory for my ancestors and keep my title!"

"you?"

Xue Lian's anger was gone at the moment, and he really meant to take his anger out on him just now. Although he was relieved to hear this, he also knew that it was impossible, so he waved his hands and said:

"Forget it, let's die, we're still alive anyway, aren't we?"

Xu persuaded from the side: "Master, why don't you let him try it. The Martial Arts Academy of the Imperial Academy is recruiting students recently. There are many nobles who are prepared for danger in times of peace, and they have sent their children in."

Xue Lian hesitated, and said:

"Is this Imperial Academy really so powerful? I heard that His Majesty personally selects the instructors there. It is very demanding to graduate. They have not been able to graduate in these years, and there are too many children from aristocratic families who quit halfway."

"This kid, can he do it?"

Saying that, Xue Lian looked at the son who was not up to date.

This time, Xue Gang became anxious, and quickly expressed his attitude: "Father, just let me try it. As long as I can graduate, isn't it considered to be a proof of myself?"

This is true, now everyone who graduates from the Imperial College seems to be a different person, and basically they are doing well. If this kid can graduate, he still has a chance.

Xue Lian thought for a while, sighed and said:

"If that's the case, then go and try it!"

As soon as the words fell, the butler ran in, his brows beaming with joy:

"Master, Madam, Young Lord! There is good news. Your Majesty has summoned Wen Tiren, a scholar of the Hall of Martial Arts, and has decided to relax the requirements for nobles and nobles!"

Chapter 778 Nobility Limitation Law

"Is what you said true?"

Xue Lian couldn't believe his ears.

The butler said repeatedly: "It's true, it's all true, and now the nobles in the capital have exploded, and it's lively!"

"Then what are the requirements for being a prince now?" Xue Lian breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked.

"I almost forgot, this is a document issued by the cabinet, sir, take a look." The butler said, and quickly took out a document.

Xue Lian took it in his hand, and while he was watching, both Xue Gang and Zheng Shi held their breaths and watched his every move.

For them, Xue Lian is the pillar of the family, and the key to determining whether this pillar collapses or not is still in Emperor Tianqi's thought.

An idea of ​​the emperor can drive them to the bottom, or bring them back to the current world.

Xue Lian's face was sometimes cloudy and sometimes clear, he was relieved after seeing it, and slowly looked at Xu Xuegang who looked unclear, and said: "You go to Shuntian Martial Arts Academy to sign up tomorrow, and the government will clear up the relationship for you."

"If you can't learn, don't come back to see me."

Xue Gang nodded and asked, "Father, what did the cabinet say in the document?"

"Demotion to the first class to attack the nobles..." Xue Lian said: "The nobles who committed crimes in the [-] battalion this time were rectified, and the nobles who were found out when the Beijing camp was rectified in the future. If their descendants have no military exploits, they will be demoted together." First-class knight."

"It's not just one generation, it's like this from generation to generation..."

Xue Gang was taken aback, and subconsciously said: "Doesn't that mean that if I don't make any meritorious service, my successor will be Uncle Yang Wu?"

"If my next generation doesn't have meritorious deeds, even Bo doesn't have to do it?"

Xue Lian glanced at him and nodded: "At that time, my Yangwuhou lineage will be truly extinct. Your Majesty's reform is truly unprecedented."

"Fortunately, you won't get rid of the noble in your generation. From this point of view, it's a good thing."

Mrs. Zheng stepped forward to hold Xue Lian's hand, and said happily:

"It seems that the master is right, His Majesty is the son of Shengtian."

Immediately, she looked at Xue Gang and said, "Gang'er, if you want to study hard at the martial arts academy, your father and I will depend on you."

"Marquis Yangwu or Uncle Yangwu are all spelled out by you, and it has nothing to do with being a father." Xue Lian sighed.

Then, turn around and walk away.

For Xue Gang, this is also a spur. Compared with directly expelling the noble, the sense of urgency is not less, but it makes his heart tremble even more.

Uncle Yang Wu, although he will be a lord at that time, will be completely different from now.

Compared with those who were first enshrined because of their military exploits, the nobles who were demoted to the first rank not only received different treatment, but were also looked down upon and talked about by others. It was like heaven and earth.

Although Xue Gang is willing to be a cynical playboy, it doesn't mean that he will endure being demoted and looked down upon by others.

No matter what, he was still determined to fight.

It has to be said that the current emperor's move is really shrewd enough.

Those who are really determined to fight again will only be spurred upon hearing this news, instead of waiting to be demoted from being depressed from now on.

The one who has no intention of fighting, only cares about eating and waiting to die, even if he tells the next generation to get rid of the noble, he will still try his best to continue to eat empty wages, drink the blood of soldiers, and earn money.

What's more, these marquises are not the most serious, there is still a generation of respite, even if Xue Gang has no achievements, he can still be an uncle.

For some earls, it is the real dimensionality reduction blow.

But now the marquises, including Yangwu Hou Xue Lian, Xining Hou Song Yude and other famous nobles, are already very satisfied with this result, so they can only accept it.

The cabinet sent this matter to various yamen and state capitals in the form of official documents, which almost stated that this would soon become an official law of the Ming Dynasty.

This is Zhu Youxiao's "Law of Restricting Honors and Honors" for certain relatives after discussions with the cabinet in the sixth year of Tianqi. Different tunes but the same results.

The difference is that once the law of restricting the salary of the clan is promulgated, it is aimed at the clan of the whole country.

The law of limiting nobles to nobles, for the vast majority of the nobles in the world, is currently only playing the role of knocking mountains and shaking tigers, and it does not say that those who have not committed crimes should also be attacked in the same way.

When most of the powerful nobles choose to calm down, the rest of the dissatisfied can only sit back and watch the formation of this new law.

Of course, the current new law is only aimed at these 86 nobles in Beijing, and those nobles in Beijing who have affairs in the three major battalions.

In addition, Zhu Youxiao also officially announced in Fengtian Hall that a group of second-class titles and third-class titles will be conferred.

As soon as the news came out, the capital was shaken, and every time it spread to a place, it stirred up the local civil, military and political circles, and no one stopped talking about it.

For a moment, it seemed that even the natural disaster at Wang Gong Factory a few days ago had been forgotten by the world.

……

"Boom, boom, boom—"

On this day, on the majestic Forbidden City, the low and solemn 54-ring bell rang again. Since the Ming Dynasty, this big bell has summoned the civil and military officials of all dynasties to go to court.

Every time it is rung, it means something big is going to happen.

The civil and military officials of the capital put on their court clothes early, and walked towards the Huangji Hall with a little hasty steps.

The Huangji Hall, a symbol of imperial power, has survived many natural and man-made disasters such as earthquakes, fires, and the explosion of Wanggong Factory, but it still stands here.

Zhu Youxiao had been wearing a crown under the service of Queen Zhang Yan, sitting on the Kowloon Throne, which symbolized the Lord of the World, and looked around at the officials.

Over the past dynasties, the imperial power of the Ming Dynasty has been weak since the time of Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di. Such a major matter of conferring a title often has to be discussed by the courtiers before it can be issued and implemented.

If this procedure is not followed, the ministers can regard the imperial decree as a "central decree" and be rejected by the Secretary of General Administration as invalid.

But today, Zhu Youxiao did not discuss with the courtiers, but communicated with the six ministers, the cabinet, and the ministers of the military computer room in advance, and then formally issued an order.

The situation of the courtiers was also completely opposite to when Zhu Youxiao had just succeeded to the throne nearly seven years ago, and no one dared to stand up to oppose it.

In the hands of Zhu Youxiao, the imperial power has reached its peak since the Ming Dynasty, but Zhu Youxiao knows that this is not the peak yet!

Many people know that conferring military generals is like ascending to the sky, so this time, most of them will be conferred with important officials who worry about the country and the people.

Most of the people are just apprehensive and have vague expectations.

As for the generals, there is nothing to look forward to at all. It is too difficult for a general to be knighted.

Since Emperor Sejong's Jiajing reign, the imperial court seemed to have realized that there were too many lords and could not control the situation, so it almost reached the point where the title of nobility was negligent.

In Sejong's reign, Wang Shouren was named, but it was just an act to establish prestige at the beginning of his accession to the throne. As soon as Wang Shouren died, Emperor Jiajing immediately pursued his title in the name of academic injustice.

As for the nearly 50 years of the Wanli Dynasty, Li Chengliang, the uncle of Ningyuan, was only sealed, and hereditary was allowed.

During the Jiajing and Wanli dynasties for nearly a century, the imperial court promised countless rewards to civil servants and generals, but almost none of them were fulfilled afterwards.

Under such circumstances, if a general wants to be knighted, the difficulty can be imagined!

No one expected that in this day of the apocalypse, the knighthood would start again!

It's just that there is a price for this knighthood, and the price is that the rules of knighthood have been changed after the new batch of knighthoods, and they have been changed thoroughly.

However, all new titles this time will be subject to the same nobility restriction law in the future.

No one in the same batch of newly conferred titles is hereditary. This is the first case in Ming Dynasty.

Chapter 779 You are very brave!

"Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, the imperial edict said:

The following civil and military ministers, since the beginning of the dynasty, have made great efforts in righteousness and martial arts, performed military exploits, and because of their outstanding political achievements, protecting the environment and the people, and reforming with the people, they have all been conferred titles to show that the dynasty cherishes talents!

Zhu Xieyuan, governor of Shanxi and Shanxi, made great contributions to the pacification of Southwest China and Eastern Liaodong, and he was named Xingpinghou!

Xiong Tingbi, the governor of Liaodong, has been in the Liao Dynasty for ten years. He has made great achievements in repelling the Jian captives and recovering the whole Liao Dynasty. He is named Dongpinghou!

Zhang Wanbang, the deputy commander-in-chief of Shanxi, guarded Datong, resisted the western captives of the Chahar tribes, and made great achievements in breaking the Chahanhot Khan Court. He was granted the title of Jingnanbo!

Mao Wenlong, the general of Zhenjiang, opened up the town of Dongjiang, made great achievements in restraining the Jian captives, and was granted the title of Jing Beibo!
