Rebirth of the Ming Dynasty: Sixth Generation of Glory, I don't want it

After the book "Memorials of Famous Ministers of All Dynasties" was published, Zhu Di once commented:

[The way to achieve good governance is a path that has lasted for thousands of years. If a ruler can accept good advice and his ministers can be loyal and honest, there will never be a country without good governance. This book is enough to show the magnanimity of the ruler and the integrity of the ministers at that time.]

When Zhu Song saw this book, he felt like he had found a treasure.

After obtaining Zhu Gaochi's consent, he selected some famous quotes and published them in the "Jing Bao".

To readers, this is more attractive than travel notes.

Who doesn’t have the dream of becoming an official and leaving behind famous quotes in the future?

In short, before Zhu Zhanji returned, Zhu Song had managed to run the "Beijing News" in a very decent manner.

Compared to the original, it is completely not on the same level.

Zhu Zhanji was a little disappointed but also happy to see it succeed.

Wasn't his original idea of ​​running a newspaper to achieve the current effect?

Tens of thousands of newspapers are sold every day, and the number is still rising. Although he does not make money, he can see people reading newspapers on the streets, which makes him feel that his efforts are not in vain.

Besides.

Throughout March, Zhu Di's imperial edicts were issued one by one after consultation with the cabinet.

The "Beijing News" naturally increased its space and published the latest imperial edicts every day to let the whole country know what the court was busy with.

After Xu came back, he also became very interested in the Beijing News.

Not only did I look for the previous issue of "Beijing News" to read.

He also asks people to buy the latest edition of the Beijing News every day.

【The emperor ordered the establishment of the Yimahu Mountain Guard in Liaodong. He appointed the Jurchen leader Suonuwu as the commander, Hasanha as the deputy commander, and Mudawu and seven others as assistant commanders. He also gave the title of 1,000 households and 100 households to pacify the area, and granted them imperial seals, crowns, belts, clothes, banknotes, etc.】

【Zhu Jihui's title of King of Jin was taken away, and Jihui was made King of Jin again.】

【The kings are forbidden to build palaces. From now on, anyone who dares to conscript a soldier or civilian without the order of the court, or to collect money or property privately, will be punished. The various vassal states shall set the rules for entering the court and leaving the city, and all guards shall be abolished, and officials and civilians under their jurisdiction shall not be allowed to serve.】

[The trafficking of weapons to foreign countries is prohibited. Violators will not be forgiven by their nobles and relatives.]

【The Tatar Khan was pardoned for his lax administration.】

【The decree established Longqing Prefecture and Yongning County. 】

"Your father is planning to do something big."

After running around, Xu did not look tired at all. Instead, she was in very good spirits. While listening to Bixi reading the "Beijing News" of that day, she practiced Ba Duan Jin with Zhang Xin in the West Hill Villa.

"Dad and Mom must have seen a lot of things outside."

Zhang Xin was doing horse stance with a flushed face.

"Well, if you don't go out, the country will be peaceful and the people will be safe. Once you go out, you will be displaced everywhere."

Xu let out a long sigh.

"Mom, this is much better than before."

Zhang Xin felt that it was fortunate that Xu had not left in her previous life.

"It will be good sooner or later if the outside world can be like the current situation in the capital."

No comparison, no harm.

The most prosperous place in the whole country is the capital. The capital is still far behind.

But the common people in the capital looked different.

Even though the north is windy and cold, and most people can barely make ends meet, you rarely see anyone with a sad face. Everyone is full of vitality.

"Hey, what's going on with King Jin? Is he still reselling weapons out there?"

Zhang Xin didn't discuss political affairs with Zhu Gaochi every day, so he was surprised to hear the latest version of the "Beijing News".

"Didn't your father and I also go to Shanxi? Alas, there's no way to tell about the Jin Wang branch."

Xu shook her head.

I really can't use it even if I want to.

Her and Zhu Di's original intention was to take a look at whether there were any useful descendants left by their third uncle while they were in Shanxi.

I only found out when I went there.

The Prince Jin's Mansion was in chaos.

When the previous emperor was alive, the Prince of Jin died and his eldest son Zhu Jihui inherited the throne.

When Zhu Di ascended the throne, he did not touch Zhu Jihui, but only appointed Zhu Jihui, the second son of Prince of Jin, as Prince of Pingyang.

This man had a cruel temperament since childhood. He often hung out with Zhu Gaoxu and did all kinds of evil things in the capital.

But they were all young at that time.

Both Zhu Di and Xu thought it was no big deal. Who hasn't been young and frivolous once?

Moreover, Zhu Gaoxu, who is in the control group, is now quite responsible.

They felt that Zhu Jixun was not that bad.

Zhu Jixun's father-in-law was Li Jinglong.

So in the fifth year of Yongle, when Zhu Jixun falsely accused his brother, Zhu Di sent the Jinyiwei, that is, Ji Gang, to investigate.

Ji Gang accepted the money given by Zhu Jihui and came back to tell Zhu Di that Zhu Jihui did have rebellious intentions.

Zhu Di believed it.

He seized the throne from Zhu Jihui and demoted Zhu Jihui and his eldest son Zhu Meigui to commoners, and sent them to guard the gardens of Prince Jin.

But this time when I went there, I found that everything was the opposite.

After Zhu Jixun was made King of Jin, he became even more arrogant and tyrannical, and even murdered his biological mother, Xie. However, no one dared to speak out, not even the chief historian of the palace dared to say anything.

It was during this trip that Zhu Di discovered that Ji Gang had done a lot of things in private.

Upon checking, it turned out to be the opposite of Tiangang.

Zhu Jixun built palaces in the local area and amassed huge wealth, but he concealed all these secrets.

Ji Gang was also responsible for reselling weapons.

Selling to Japan, selling to the Oirat, there was nothing he dared not sell to.

Zhu Jixun surrounded the land and mountains in his fiefdom, and there were mines in the mountains. Ji Gang's weapons were supported by Zhu Jixun's mines. This was the collusion between the Prince's Palace and the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

If the Jinyiwei had not been disbanded in the first place, there is no telling how big this business would have grown by now.

It turned out that Xu didn't notice it, so she didn't think about it too much.

It was not until I went there this time that I understood why there had always been rebellions in Shanxi.

Shanxi has always been densely populated. From the Hongwu period to the Yongle period, the people of Shanxi had been relocated. Xu originally thought that the troubles were caused by the people's unwillingness to migrate.

For example, last year, the people of Guangling County, Shanxi Province, gathered together to revolt, appointed themselves officials, used a white flag as their symbol, seized the post horses from Wangjiazhuang in Taibai, and killed the guards of Datong.

How big an event or how great a grudge does it take to force someone to rebel?

Without him.

One cruel and inhumane vassal king is enough.

"Every family has its share of troubles. You don't have to worry about it, mother."

Zhang Xin knew it a long time ago anyway.

However, Zhu Gaochi did not explain this in detail in his previous life, and she did not know that Ji Gang was brought down because of the Jin Wang family.

Moreover, in the previous life, Shanxi was just as miserable as Shandong. Shandong suffered from various disasters, while Shanxi had to relocate people. Each had its own suffering.

Nothing much has happened in Shandong in this life, but Shanxi has indeed not been peaceful.

"It's not that I'm worried, but I'm disappointed. Zhu Jihui is so useless. He was even deprived of the throne by his younger brother."

Xu curled her lips.

"Who has a mother as wise as ours?"

Zhang Xin smiled and flattered him.

"Humph, you tricked me into praising you again, didn't you?"

Xu was amused.

"
