The Ming Dynasty started with caution

Chapter 777: Accept the order!

One day later, Fengtian Palace.

Xiao Jing came to report with Yun Zhan in his arms: "I sent factory guards to find out the clues. There were fifty-two cases of improper sentencing by Master Han.

The most recent case is that of Huang Shun, a resident of the West District, who lied about restructuring and had his legs broken. He is still in jail and will be executed in three days. "

According to today's laws, lying and spreading rumors will result in an exile of three thousand miles, and the crime will not lead to death.

But Han Fu ordered him to be beheaded.

The Supreme Emperor frowned slightly and unfolded the long file. After reading a few files, he took a deep breath.

Xiao Jing said truthfully: "Those who are good friends with Mr. Han are guilty of extremely minor crimes.

For example, Liaodong commanded his ministers to serve Zhoudong, falsely increased the number of hundreds of hectares of farmland and rented it out to the people. The people were destitute and should be punished with death.

But he only rebelled and was exiled for three thousand miles.

When Zhou Dong was in the capital, he had some friendship with Mr. Han. "

The Supreme Emperor Hongzhi's brows were condensed into a thin line, his expression gloomy.

As Yan Chengjin said, Han Fu was biased in his sentencing.

Jiang Mian's eyes flickered, but he did not plead for Han Fu. Even if he did, Yan Chengjin might impeach him.

Liu Jian knew that Yan Chengjin had been in the Metropolitan Procuratorate to investigate Han Fu's crimes.

Han Mansion.

Han Fu resigned from the ministry of Dali Temple and waited uneasily for the factory guards to investigate.

"I didn't expect that Yan Chengjin has been investigating me. I was careless."

The files of the Ministry of Punishment do not need to be sent to the emperor for review, and are left to the judicial yamen to decide on their own.

In any judicial office, there will definitely be improper sentencing or unjust cases.

Even the Metropolitan Procuratorate is the same.

But now we can't investigate the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Yamen official is Zheng Qian. If the sentencing is found to be inappropriate, Yan Chengjin cannot be blamed.

Gao Feng walked in with the imperial edict in his arms, took a deep look at Han Fu, and cleared his throat: "Master Han, take the edict!"

Han Fu was stunned, and after coming to his senses, he quickly knelt down.

"Since ancient times, the emperors have set up the law and ordered punishments, which cannot be neglected. Since I came to the throne, I have looked up to the will of heaven and worked hard to govern. For more than 24 years, I have thought of peace for a long time, and many people have played tricks. I have risen up and ascended to the throne. It is the most reasonable thing, but there are officials who cannot understand my heart and act excessively... Hanfu is now removed from his position as Minister of Dali Temple and demoted to a commoner. He will broadcast it to China and foreign countries so that the world will hear about it. "

Han Fu shuddered.

Gao Feng coughed dryly. It was not good to offend anyone, but that guy.

"Master Han, hurry up and accept the order. Why did you do it in the first place if you knew it would happen today?"

Han Fu's eyes were dull, and he stretched out his hand like a zombie and took the imperial edict.

Fengtian Temple.

The Supreme Emperor Hongzhi ordered the cabinet to post an imperial list to announce to the world, and to try out the new Lijia system in the capital.

Zhang Sheng worriedly said: "Your Majesty, even if it is tried out, it should be tried out in Hejian Mansion. There are many gentry in the capital..."

It is good to have many gentry, just to see the reaction of the gentry.

Liu Jian just sighed. Once the Emperor made up his mind, it was difficult to change it.

Zhu Houzhao said: "Even if my father doesn't implement it, when my son comes to power, he will implement it in the world."

The princes almost sprayed blood on Zhu Houzhao's face.

But Zhu Houzhao knew that what Lao Gao said made sense.

Only by allowing people to migrate and gather in one city can a prosperous age like Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty emerge.

The Lijia system imprisoned the people in their original places and could not move.

The Supreme Emperor Hongzhi looked at Li Dongyang and said: "Let's settle it in the capital and let Yan Chengjin draw up the decree. I will observe the effect first."

I'm afraid no one in the cabinet is willing to write this edict.

When Yan Chengjin learned that His Majesty asked him to write the imperial edict, he was surprised. After thinking carefully for a moment, Yan Chengjin made up his mind.

The imperial list is posted on the palace wall and will hang for three days.

But on the first day alone, hundreds of gentry and common people gathered to watch.

The Lijia system has become a regular rule. Now I see it written on the imperial list that people in the capital and the three surrounding prefectures can freely move their household registration to the capital.

However, the original yellow list will be removed.

On the first day, the Hubu Yamen was overcrowded by gentry from outside the capital.

Late at night, Qianqing Palace.

The Supreme Emperor Hongzhi was tossing and turning and couldn't sleep. If the Lijia system was changed, the gentry would surely rebel, right?

Even if they can't afford to rebel, they will still sign a letter in blood.

After all, Shuntian Mansion submitted it once.

"Is there any news from outside the palace? Is there anyone rebelling?"

The Supreme Emperor Hongzhi shouted in the direction of the window through the curtain.

Xiao Jing held a lantern in his hand, but did not open the door and walked in: "There is no news. Your Majesty, sleep peacefully. I will remind you."

There was no sound in the dormitory, but only an hour had passed.

The Supreme Emperor Hongzhi raised his head again: "Is there anyone rebelling outside the palace?"

Xiao Jing was about to fall asleep, but was awakened again: "Report to the Supreme Emperor, no one rebels."

This went back and forth four times, and one night passed.

Although the Supreme Emperor Hongzhi was not asleep, he was determined in his heart. No one in the capital was in trouble following the decree sent out yesterday.

"Serve me and change my clothes. I want to go to court."

Last night, all the officials were equally anxious.

He thought that there would be trouble among the gentry and he could take the opportunity to impeach Yan Chengjin once.

But at the end of the night, no one was making trouble.

When Yan Chengjin was thinking about it, he considered whether it was feasible. If the old gentry was not deprived of their area and their land was not occupied, no one would cause trouble.

The Supreme Emperor Hongzhi looked at Liu Qing in the main hall: "Liu Qing's family, did someone make trouble in Shuntian Mansion last night?"

"Yes, but it has nothing to do with the New Deal."

Wang Qiong reported: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the number of gentry and common people increased by 150,000 in the capital yesterday."

There are millions of floating people in Beijing, but there are only 700,000 residents in Beijing.

Now, it has increased to 150,000 in one day, although it is still far behind Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty.

But the scene of a prosperous capital city has already emerged in the minds of the Supreme Emperor and the princes. It turns out that the reason that limits the prosperity of the capital city is the Lijia system.

The Supreme Emperor Hongzhi's eyes were firm: "Preach my will and implement the Thirteen Ways of the Two Capitals."

Yan Chengjin guessed that sooner or later the household registration in the capital would become a golden bun.

After a government decree, gentry from all over the country would ask their children to move their household registration to the main palace.

As in later generations, the sons moved to the city to buy houses and settle down, while the gentry kept their mansions in the countryside, and the armor system became somewhat looser.

Huguang, Anluzhou.

In Prince Xing's Mansion, Zhu Youqi picked up the smart-looking Zhu Houcong with a serious look on his face.

"Once the Lijia system is changed, the gentry in the vassal state will definitely migrate, and Anlu Prefecture will become even more desolate."

Princess Xing said with a sad face.

Not long after, the housekeeper hurried in and said, "Your Majesty, many of the gentry's sons in the city are moving to De'an Mansion."

De'an Mansion is the most prosperous area in the surrounding area. If the children of the gentry move there, it will become more prosperous in the future.

"The palace has raised eight thousand pigs and sent them to the capital." Princess Xing said, "It's time to ask the Supreme Emperor to give Houcong a title."

Zhu Houcong was born to Princess Xing. He was very smart and could recite hundreds of poems when he was only three years old.

Forbidden City, Fengtian Palace.

Yan Chengjin saw Zhu Youcong's memorial and asked for more fiefdoms from Zhu Houcong.

Zhu Houcong was the crown prince of Prince Xing and could inherit Prince Xing's vassal state.

"Your Majesty, please read this memorandum."

Li Dongyang took over the poem and changed the Li Jia slightly.

In the past few days, I have received many requests from vassal kings to change their fiefdoms to the main palace, or to request more fiefdoms.

"If we refer to the old system and regulations of the previous dynasty, the county king who is granted the title of prince, and the heir apparent who ascends the title of nobility, are only allowed to submit salary and sacrificial specifications, and no new fiefdoms are allowed."

Liu Jian stroked his beard and nodded.

Yan Chengjin said: "Zhu Houcong, the son of King Xing, is very smart and is about the same age as the emperor's grandson. The Royal Academy is short of students. Why not go to the palace and study with the emperor's grandson?"

Jiang Mian looked over and saw that he was begging for a fiefdom, not to send his son to the palace.

He is only three years old, what is the difference between being a proton?
